"Yes, I just heard about it, and I will tell Heng Shuai right away!"
"It's all good, but it's not as good as your own home." Wang Hengyue sighed: "These people have gone through hardships for only one purpose, to go home. We made some mistakes and did not pay attention to these people."
Chiang Kai-shek said on the side: "Hengshuai does not need to blame himself. In fact, Hengshuai has done well enough, but no one can do everything. The successful recovery of Vladivostok is the most exciting for the entire country.
Moreover, Yang Sen is beginning the operation to regain Jiangdong No. 64 Village."
"Tell Yang Sen to move faster." Wang Hengyue pondered for a moment: "There is also Wang Qinglu in Nanjing. He cannot give in on the Qingdao issue. We must make full use of the current embarrassment of the Japanese and the support of the great powers to us as soon as possible.
Take back Qingdao!"
"yes!"
Chiang Kai-shek agreed and then said: "Heng Shuai, Beijing is our last battle. This has always been the ancient capital and the place where countless dynasties have established their capitals. Would you like Heng Shuai to go to Beijing to have a look?"
"Look, look." Wang Hengyue said without hesitation: "The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, wielded his sword here to fight against the slaves, and the Manchus broke the great rivers and mountains into pieces here. You must go and see it!"
As a thousand-year-old ancient capital, Beijing was the capital of the feudal dynasties of the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Beijing is centered on the Forbidden City, with a prominent central axis and left-right symmetry. The palace city, the imperial city, and the big city are built layer by layer.
The emperor's bedchamber, the left ancestor and the right commune in the imperial city, nine longitudes and nine latitudes in the big city, and outside the nine gates of the capital, the royal altar and temples are to the south and north, with the sun to the east and the moon to the west, which fully highlights the supremacy of imperial power. Beijing's urban design is completely based on
The feudal political service centered on imperial power was not only grand in scale and rigorous in planning, but also had strict palace restrictions and tight city defenses.
Since the Republic of China, with the abdication of Emperor Xuantong and the end of the imperial system, the urban nature of Beijing has changed.
After the end of the imperial system, Beijing's city defenses lost the political necessity for their existence, so the city ban was lifted and the nine gates were left open. The capital's tight city defense facilities hindered traffic. During the Republic of China, the government demolished the walls of the imperial city and the inner city, opening up
Road reconstruction. The Forbidden City demolished the gated buildings between the east, west and north sides of the palace and the moat, demolished the buildings between Shenwumen and Jingshan, including the north gate and the north east and west gates, and opened up the north side of the Forbidden City.
The East-West Avenue. In 1915, the Imperial City demolished the Thousand-Step Corridor and the East and West Gates inside the Zhonghua Gate to open up the East-West Avenue in front of the East Gate. In 1917, the Imperial City to the south of Dong'an Gate was demolished.
After Wang Hengyue took power in China, he demolished the east, west, and north sides of the imperial city, and opened the south entrance of Nanchizi Street and the south entrance of Nanchang Street on the south wall, opening up the traffic around and through the imperial city.
After the Qing emperor abdicated, he still lived in the inner court of the Forbidden City in accordance with the "Preferential Treatment Regulations". The next year, the government of the Republic of China established the Palace Museum outside the Forbidden City and opened the three main halls of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe and the Hall of Preservation and Harmony.
Later, Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City by Wang Hengyue, and other parts of the Forbidden City were opened to the public in 2001. Since then, the Imperial Palace in Beijing has been opened one after another.
With the opening of Jingshan, Zhongnanhai and other places, the dynasty and the emperor no longer existed. The sacred and noble royal palaces, gardens, altars and temples in the past were opened to ordinary citizens. This broke the supreme royal dignity for thousands of years in both form and spirit.
.
In the Qing Dynasty, the royal family members had a distinguished status, were well treated, and enjoyed generous salaries and residences. Princes, princes, and princes only received titles and had no "country" to live in. Many princes, princes, and nobles stayed in the capital for hereditary inheritance, and the royal palaces were also built in Beijing. After the Republic of China,
, they lost their privileged status and had no salary, their situation deteriorated sharply, and they soon declined. The palaces and mansions were changed hands and became the residences of the new rich, new government offices, and new schools. The Prince Rui's Mansion in Shidaren Alley was sold off to pay debts; the Prince Rui's Mansion in Haidian
Diyuan was sold to Yenching University; the Prince's Mansion in Baochao Hutong was sold to a French priest; Jingshan East Street and Princess Jia's Mansion became the campus of the Imperial University; the Yuwang Mansion in Dongdan Santiao built the Union Medical College; located in Chang'an
Prince Yi's Mansion on the street has become the Ministry of Communications and the Peking Municipal Government...
The Qing Dynasty implemented a system of living in separate cities for banner people. Banner people lived in the inner city, while Han people lived in the outer city and places outside the outer city. Within the big city, no business was allowed, and no theaters and other entertainment venues were allowed. There was no industry, commerce, or service industry in the city. Banner people did not
No work, no farming, no business, just use your salary for consumption!
With the relaxation of restrictions in the inner city, the boundaries between banner people living in separate cities were broken, and the composition of the residents changed greatly. Banner people no longer received royal salaries, or because they were difficult to live and could not afford to spend money, they gradually moved out. Especially in the late Qing Dynasty
Since then, the establishment of a large number of new schools, as well as the emergence of new commerce, service industries and handicraft industries, have attracted a large number of Han people to move into the inner city to study, teach, do business, and serve. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are mixed, and banner people live together. Beijing is no longer a
A city of pure politics and pure consumption.
Walking on the streets of Beijing, Wang Hengyue felt that everything was very new. It was completely different from Nanjing, Guangzhou and other places.
"Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the great powers have formed an embassy area in Dongjiaomin Lane in front of ** Square. They have conducted their own affairs within the area, influencing and manipulating China's politics and diplomacy. The 'Twenty-One' Agreement was signed in the Japanese embassy. With the expansion of foreign forces,
Through penetration, more and more foreign churches, hospitals, schools, banks, post offices, barracks, and Western-style buildings have appeared near the embassy area, forming an area where foreigners live..." Chiang Kai-shek pointed to the surroundings and said: "
Beijing is composed of the Forbidden City, Dongjiao Minxiang and the capital of the Republic of China. In other words, Beijing has not only one country within a country, but two countries within a country."
Wang Hengyue's face darkened.
"Beijing has not just one state within a state, but two states within a state!" This sentence deeply hurt his heart.
Chiang Kai-shek soon realized: "Heng Shuai, things have to happen step by step. Now that Vladivostok has been recovered, Yang Sen is preparing to sweep Jiangdong No. 64, and the Qingdao issue is also under negotiation. I believe that this phenomenon of a state within a state will soon
It can be eliminated!”
"It's rare to do that, it's rare to do that." Wang Hengyue sighed: "Those great powers can promise you other things, but it must be based on not involving their interests, but it must involve their fundamental interests, hehe
..."
He sneered a few times: "Although during this visit to the United States, we have negotiated with the United States a specific time for resolving the concession issue, once the negotiations actually start, I am afraid that both sides will be at loggerheads and no one will give in!"
As I was walking forward and talking, there was suddenly a quarrel in front of me.
Some people just came out of the tavern and suddenly saw a roasted sweet potato seller on the street. Several people walked to the sweet potato stove and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Are your sweet potatoes real or fake?"
The man roasting sweet potatoes looked up and saw a drunkard, so he said angrily: "How can sweet potatoes be fake? Find a fake one and show it to me!"
The leader said: "I think your sweet potatoes are fake. Take one and let me take a look."
The sweet potato roaster glanced at Minxue and handed over a roasted sweet potato. Minxue took a bite of the sweet potato and tasted it. It was indeed a sweet potato, so he threw the sweet potato on the ground: "It's really not that good.
Good stuff! It smells like pickled radish and is unpalatable."
After saying that, he turned around to leave. The roasted sweet potato seller quit his job and grabbed Minxue's arm: "You have nothing to criticize. You ate my sweet potatoes without paying me and threw them on the ground. You pay for my sweet potatoes!"
"
I guess that person was used to being domineering. Now when he saw a baked sweet potato seller dare to use his "stinky hand" to grab his "noble" arm in the street, he couldn't help but get furious. He shouted: "Hit me!"
He and his companions rushed over, grabbed the roasted sweet potato seller and beat him so hard that the roasted sweet potato seller's head and face were covered with blood. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Minxue still couldn't get over his anger and turned the stove on which the roasted sweet potato was being roasted.
It was also smashed, and the charcoal and other items were scattered all over the street.
There was a circle of people around, but no one came to persuade me.
Wang Hengyue frowned when he saw it, and walked over with A Le, Chiang Kai-shek and two guards: "Stop!"
The group of people were fighting vigorously. When they saw someone coming to persuade them, the leader immediately raised his eyes and said, "There's someone else coming out to stir up trouble!"
A Le helped up the roasted sweet potato: "What's your name?"
"Listen, I'm going to scare you. My name is Minzhi. Do you see this?"
Wang Hengyue looked where his finger pointed, and saw a yellow belt tied around his waist, and immediately frowned.
Yellow Belt is another name for the clan in the Qing Dynasty. In the first year of the Chongde reign of Emperor Taizong of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Emperor Taiji ordered all clan members below the prince to wear a golden belt to show the dignity and status of the clan.
Yellow belts are royal families, but not all royal families are yellow belts. According to the regulations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, starting from the generation of Nurhaci’s father Tucker, his sons, such as Nurhaci, Shuerhaqi and other descendants, all
They are called clan members, also called Yellow Belts. The older brother and younger brother of Takshi, that is, Uncle Nurhachi, and the uncle’s descendants are called Jueluo, also called Red Belts. Compared with Yellow Belts, Red Belts are obviously more distant by blood, so their status
, power and salary are incomparable to a yellow belt!
When the Qing Dynasty first entered the customs, there were only a few hundred yellow belts. After several dynasties such as Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, there were tens of thousands of yellow belts by the Jiaqing period. The Qing Dynasty stipulated that the official title of the yellow belts
It is hereditary, but the only one who can succeed the title is the eldest son. In other words, except for the eldest son, the other sons of a yellow belt are all idlers. In this case, a special class is born. According to the official statement
, this class is called the "idle clan". To put it more simply, they are yellow belts who are too idle to worry.
As the old saying goes, if you have time to worry about nothing, you will cause trouble. If these idle people are just ordinary people, and there are laws to control them, they will not cause any big trouble. But it is the yellow belt with royal blood flowing on it that makes trouble.
But it's too big.
These idle yellow belts can often be seen on the streets of Beijing. They either hold a birdcage in their hands, or have a sinister vulture lying on their shoulders, followed by a group of servants who look like wolves and tigers, shouting and running rampant in the streets.
These people have a famous catchphrase: "Tell you, stay away, I haven't killed anyone in several days!"
