Chapter 154: Unbeatable

When he returned to the Zheng Palace, the Manchu royal family came to congratulate him. Prince Rui Renshou, Prince Yu Benge, and Prince Yi Zaiyuan were the leaders, and followed more than a dozen Beile, Beizi, and Duke.

Although Prince Li Shiduo surrendered, most of them gave advice to the six kings, and they also personally killed and killed the captured Pingyuan soldiers, so they were sent to prison and awaited trial.

In addition, thousands of princes, princes, Beile, Beizi and idle royal families followed the six kings to escape outside the pass.

Ye Zhao was extremely kind and chatted with everyone. The hearts of the royal family gradually became stable. Pingyuan army broke through the city, and they were all in danger. When Shi Duo was imprisoned again, they were even more anxious all day long.

Jing Xiang is really unfathomable. He is a playboy who is famous in the capital. However, when he releases it out of the capital, it is like a dragon entering the sea, carrying a three-foot sword. He swept the world in ten years and shocked the Western barbarians. His talent and strategy are far from being as good as Emperor Taizu Gao. Now the new dynasty has become, and even if the children of the royal family are all killed, there is no room for resistance. How can everyone not be frightened?

When I was praising the tea, Ye Zhao looked at Renshou with a smile and said, "King Rui, Debin will be here in two days. You father and son are reunited. But I am not busy with one thing. Debin, now it is the Prime Minister's Guangdong Police Officer, and he may be doing it."

Renshou hurriedly stood up and said, "I dare not be called this by Your Highness. I am old and weak. When Debin's child returns to Beijing, I will abdicate." Passing the prince to Debin is the most secure way. The holy heart is unpredictable. Although he smiles like a pearl, who knows what he thinks, Debin is extremely close to him. He passes the throne with Debin, and his lineage can be kept intact.

Ye Zhao smiled, slowly blew the tea leaves, and said, "This matter is something I'll discuss." After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I think so. When Emperor Tongzhi comes to Beijing to ascend the throne, the new dynasty will set up a council. Its position is to review the codes and regulations of the new dynasty and supervise the operation of the new dynasty's government. Everyone, they all enter the council to serve the new dynasty."

Renshou and others knew he was polite, and Tongzhi came to Beijing just an excuse. They didn't know what the Council was, but they sounded quite heavy, at least they were better than their idleness, and they were all stunned and said that they were busy thanking each other. Don't say that the ending sounded bad, even if everyone was demoted home to be a commoner, there was no room for resistance, right?

Taking advantage of the establishment of the new dynasty, it is the best time to tinker with the structure of the Council. Of course, the Council is a largely decorative arrangement today, but at least it has a structure, leaving a perfect political framework for future generations.

There will be hundreds of lords and lieutenant Enping in the Imperial House of Representatives. The titles can still be inherited, but the identity of the political envoy cannot be inherited. Now it is appointed by the royal family and can slowly transition to elections. I just don’t know if I can see the day when the political envoy is elected. I hope I can see it.

Thinking about it, Ye Zhao smiled and talked to Benge again, Zaiyuan, especially Zaiyuan, who had a strong relationship with his second uncle. He fought against the Six Kings together in the past and was very affectionate with him. Ye Zhao could not help but comfort him a few more words.

Zaiyuan was grateful and dared not even Dao. His mentality depends on the environment. When facing Ye Zhao, how could he dare to regard him as the prince Zheng's prince back then? In recent years, when the royal family in the capital mentioned Jing Xiang, even if they cursed, everyone's awe increased day by day. Compared with the Six Kings, this master was really ten times more terrifying.

...

At the end of September 1862, the China Times, Guangdong Daily, Ningbao, Shenbao and others suddenly revealed amazing inside stories, and Ye Zhao, a professor at Guangzhou University, was the Regent.

These newspapers have the same content on almost several pages, presenting the Southern Science and Technology Research and Development, which the Regent participated in, one by one, steelmaking furnace; guns; civilian military ship design; chemical industries such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, chlorine, etc. production, petroleum refining and processing, etc.; internal combustion engines; generators; and speakers, phonographs and so on under development, etc. Almost every scientific invention is indispensable to the shadow of the Regent, and the guidance and influence of the Regent, not to mention the guiding significance of the "Several Table of Chemical Elements" and "Chemical Summary" released by the Regent at the end of last year to the scientific community around the world.

The newspapers also issued a statement on the royal family of the Gan Palace, and the Emperor Yandao, who was about to succeed to the throne, officially announced that his Han name was Ye Zhao, Yandao was a Manchu and even a Han Chinese. The new dynasty was one Manchu and Han, all the tribes were one, and the world was one.

The newsprints even quoted scriptures and praised His Majesty the Emperor as the Lord of the People, and acted on behalf of heaven and governed China. The emperor was the incarnation of God, so how could the division between Manchu and Han? The emperor was a Han, Manchu, also a ***, ***, ***, ***, and so on.

This is the first time that various newsprints mentioned the emperor's name, and it is the only time. In the future, the emperor's name will no longer be called directly, but will be replaced by "His Majesty the Emperor", "Great Emperor" and "Emperor Shengde".

The most elite class in the new dynasty was shocked by this sudden news, but it was not because His Majesty the Emperor began to adopt the names of Han and Manchu. In their eyes, there was no difference between Manchu and Han, and it was not as important as Ye Zhao himself. As a person from later generations, Ye Zhao was still aware of his own inner demons, so he was very careful about this matter.

What shocked the elites was that the legendary professor at Guangzhou University, who was not seen at the head and the tail, was the Regent. These most elites would more or less come into contact with the research and development of the Xin Dynasty and have more or less known about the monopoly position of this Guangzhou University professor on the Southern Dynasties' technology. Almost every invention of new technology is indispensable.

For example, Wu Chongyao has been intimidated by many research and developments in the new dynasty technology. He has always been frightened. He doesn't know who Ye Zhao, a professor at Guangzhou University, is like a monster. It is lucky to have such a person in the Southern Dynasties, but it is even a great disaster. He even once made a suggestion to the Regent and banned this person. The Regent just smiled slightly at the time.

Now that I think about it, Wu Chongyao slapped his head, alas, I never thought, I really thought that the Regent was a talented and stubborn man, but who would know that in the scientific world, he was like a Mount Tai Diu. The changes in the Southern Dynasty today can even be said to be entirely up to him. If this is not a saint coming to the world, would there be any explanation?

Needless to say, Ye Zhao's already lofty status among the emerging elite class has risen like a straight line, acting on behalf of the heavens and governing China is to fool the lower class people. Before the people's wisdom is opened, Ye Zhao has no choice but to do it. Only by imparting his own myths can the people follow him with one mind, and such various changes can alleviate resistance.

But now, even the most elite class has to believe in the saying "acting on behalf of heaven and governing China", because there is no reasonable explanation in addition to this, and only the real emperor has such great courage, great charm and great ability, right?

At this point, Ye Zhao's reputation was unparalleled in the land of China, like the rising sun, shining brightly in the world.

In November 1862, the New Emperor's Ascension Ceremony was held in the Forbidden City, Beijing.

In the magnificent and majestic Hall of Supreme Harmony, when Ye Zhao ascended the throne under the guidance of the ritual officials to receive worship from all officials, he looked down at the ministers and felt a sense of loneliness arose. Perhaps, this is the price of ascending to the throne of the Ninth Five.

The tedious and long ceremony gifts were issued, and the edicts were issued to pardon the world, and officials were ceremonially sang together one by one.

The country was named the Chinese Empire, and the following year was the first year of the Shengde Empire. Twenty-five edicts were issued at the same time.

When Ye Zhao was greeting the officials who were holding the wishful rituals, and Ye Zhao moved his way, and all the officials knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!", Ye Zhao felt even more lonely.

On the second day of the new emperor ascended the throne, he issued the "Code of the Chinese Empire", with a short preface, "Using this code to benefit the world and lead the freedom of all people."

In fact, among the three original manuscripts of the Code, there is still a line written by the founding emperor Ye Zhao, who wrote, "All the key points of amending the Code are to return to the people as the principle of governing the government. If my descendants violate this meaning, they will not be allowed to join my clan."

The original version of the three codes is one copy of the Royal Family, the Council of Government and the Council. The "Code" of each department and province are issued, and the emperor's personal letters are hidden and not published.

In the code, the right to livelihood and the powers of the various institutions of the empire are explained. The most important institutions of the empire are the Council of Government, Council, Dali and the Royal Military Commission.

The Government Council is in power, the Council Council is legislative and supervised, and at the same time, the power and responsibility of the Prime Minister of the Government Council is the Dali Court and the legal courts at all levels are law enforcement agencies.

The heads of the Government Council, the Council Council, and the Dali Court are all appointed by the royal family. Of course, at this stage, the royal family has the right to remove officials at all levels of the three courts.

The Emperor of the Empire was the supreme commander of the Imperial Team and also the commander of the Royal Military Commission. The emperor appointed a deputy commander to be in charge of the affairs of the Military Commission. At the same time, the Prime Minister of the State Council can participate in attending the military meetings of the Military Commission as the second deputy commander.

While promulgating the code, Emperor Shengde appointed a series of officials.

Premier Li Xiaocun, left minister, Premier Zhou Jingshan, Deputy Premier Li Hongzhang, Zheng Zhen, and Bai Gui.

He was given the title of Grand Secretary of the Wuying Hall of Li Xiaocun, and was the first-class Zhaoyong Marquis.

He was appointed as the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion in Jingshan, Zhou, and was the first-class official of Fengen and Zhongyi.

Each deputy prime minister and official departments have their own rewards.

At this point, the Manchu royal family title system collapsed. In the imperial royal code, the titles were stipulated as follows: Prince, Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron sixth grade, Duke, Marquis, Bo, Zi, and Male each had three grades.

Li Jianchen was appointed as the Chief Minister of the Dali Academy, and was appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, and the First Class Marquis of Suyi.

Mao Changxi was the Shaoqing of the Dali Academy and was added to the first-class baron.

At the same time, the Dali Court's Criminal Department, Civil Affairs Department, and the General Procuratorate were appointed.

The Chief Minister of the Council of the Council is Prince Rui Renshou. Although the code determines the status of the Council of the Council, under the current conditions, Emperor Shengde will not allow hundreds of people to interfere in the affairs of the Council of the Council. Therefore, for the time being, the Council of the Council is just a decoration. Renshou is the chief official, but he can appease the ministers of the new dynasty.

The Royal Military Commission appointed Mr. Su as the deputy commander and first-class Duke of Zhenguo. In fact, Matchmaker was also named the Imperial Concubine, who was the Imperial Concubine, and was also appointed as the Imperial Concubine. He was also named the Duke of the Lord. It was a coincidence that he was unprecedented and had no one since then. I think it was a good story in the future.

The Military Commission has the General Staff Department, the General Logistics Department, the Equipment Procurement and Arms Headquarters, the Navy Department, the General Office of Defense Budget and Management and other institutions.

General Secretary of Staff, Shen Bao, was appointed as the first-class Zhongyi Hou.

Ma Qingshan, the head of the Logistics Department, was appointed as the first class Keyi Hou. Ma Qingshan started as the captain of the foreign ministers and husband team of the pass. Today he was named Gong and Hou, which is a perfect merit.

Liu Quxiang, the chief of the Equipment Department, was appointed as the third-class Chengenhou.

Ma Dayong, the chief of the Navy Department, was appointed as the first-class Jingbian Marquis.

At the same time, Emperor Shengde reorganized Pingyuan's entire army into the Royal Army and the Royal Navy. The Royal Army is divided into several field corps and provincial patrol corps.

Su Hongniang's army is the number 1, 2nd Army and Xiangshan Army. Each army is organized about 30,000 yuan. The army has divisions or brigades, and the lower ones are infantry regiments, battalions, sentries, and teams.

Harrich's army, numbered as the Lanzhou Army of the Royal Army; Shenbao's army, the Jinling Army of the Royal Army.

Zheng Ze’s military headquarters, Royal Army Blue Flag Army.

Zhao Sanbao's troops, the Royal Army Yanping Army.

Han Jinchun's army, the Third Army of the Royal Army.

The remaining part of the third town that had not followed Han Jinchun to the north was expanded and the number was the Guangzhou Army Group Army of the Royal Army.

The numbers of the army have different meanings. Even if it is named after the region, it does not represent its army garrison. For example, the Xiangshan Army commemorates the rise of the army in Guilin; the Yanping Army commemorates the soldiers who died in Yanping; the Blue Flag Army applauds the majestic Blue Flag Guards when Emperor Shengde just started his army.

In addition to these nine armies, each province has its own patrol and defense organization, so there is no need to make detailed statements.

The war is not yet decided, and the General Staff of the Military Commission predicts that by the time of unification of the world, the Royal Army should expand two to three border armies, and perhaps even more.

Of course, as a result, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the various armies gradually became higher and lower. The most powerful one should be the Xiangshan Army. Not only were the officers mostly old subordinates who followed Matchmakers through life and death, but the soldiers were more of Yunnan dead soldiers and brave border residents whom Matchmaker liked. In addition, they were recruited from various troops. The newly formed First Cavalry Division of the Army had extremely terrifying combat power.

The weakest combat power is probably the Guangzhou Army left behind in Guangzhou. Three-quarters of the new recruits have mixed military quality.

However, this is just theoretically. A battle, from the command of the head coach to various factors, will affect the final result, and cannot be generalized.

Matchmaker personally led the Xiangshan Army and the First and Second Army out of the Pass and wiped out the remnants of the Six Kings with Han Jinchun's troops.

Zheng Ze's army guarded the capital and at the same time purged Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong and other areas.

Although Shenbao was appointed as the Chief of General Staff, he was actually still in Xi'an to suppress bandits and suppress rebellions.

On the day Ye Zhao ascended the throne, the good news came about that Harric had conquered Lanzhou.

Haric was appointed as General Jingyuan, the first-class Zhongrui Marquis, and temporarily served as Northwest Defense, pacified the bandits east of Lanzhou, and returned to the rebellion, laying the foundation for the subsequent Northwest War.

Zhao Sanbao was appointed as the general of Sichuan, the second-class Pingyuanhou, the Prime Minister of Sichuan's bandit suppression and preparations for the march into Qinghai-Tibet.

Han Jinchun was appointed as the governor of Vladivostok, the first-class Jingzhonghou. Obviously, Emperor Shengde ordered him to guard the northern border and manage the Vladivostok area very obvious. As for how large the governor of Vladivostok would be, only Emperor Shengde knew it. The area of ​​Vladivostok Sakhalin Island is sparsely populated, so it is more appropriate to temporarily use military control.

Zheng Zewu was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the capital infantry and the first-class uncle.

At the same time as appointing all officials, Emperor Shengde issued an edict, ordering *******, Panchen Lama, Living Buddha, *** Khan, and leaders of Qinghai tribes came to Beijing to pay their respects.

He also ordered General Yili, the prefectures and government offices of Gansu to change their banners and surrender to China. Those who resisted the emperor came and both jade and stones were burned.

When the government and military orders were issued, the royal family also enfeoffed them one by one.

Niuhulu was named Empress Dowager Xiaojing, and Yehenara was named Empress Dowager Longxian, who lived in Cining Palace. Zailian was named Shangxue, and could devote himself to studying and have another place in the capital.

He also named his sister Jingzhen as Princess Jingshan and his sister Shuzhen as Princess Xianghe.

Prince Zheng was honored as the Supreme Emperor, and his mother, Ye, was named "Ciwen Duanyou Kangyiyi Zhaoyu Zhuangchengshenghou and Shengxi". He was respected as the Empress Dowager, and was named Empress Dowager Ciwen.

As for what parents like to do, they have to go freely.

All wives and concubines have originally named Rong'er as the queen, Matchmaker as the imperial concubine. Jinfeng as the concubine Yi, Hua Ji as the concubine Jie, and Sharaba as the nobleman of Jinsi. In fact, Hua Ji is inseparable from Sharaba in the harem, Ye Zhao just gave Hua Ji a grade higher than Sharaba. He really liked to tease them and deliberately joked.

Zhu Sisi was also appointed Concubine Li, and he also found a way to transfer him to the capital and served as deputy director of the Beijing Police Department.

When he was enthroned by the concubines, he looked at his faces, either beautiful or charming, and respectfully thanked them. Ye Zhao didn't know what he felt in his heart.

Those who are absent from the imperial concubine have been the matchmaker since ancient times and the present.

Even under Rong'er's persuasion, Weiyue Yiori was granted a promise, but she was still in Jinling, and with the last name among the concubines, she did not require etiquette. She wrote an order to send it to Jinling and was considered a canonization.
