Chapter 121 The Law on Relations with Tianhai
Time is the most in line with the theory of relativity. When it extends forward on a trajectory of peaceful and stable development, you will feel that he passes very quickly. When enjoying the first annual income of more than 100 million taels of silver brought to me by the development of industry and commerce, I suddenly realized that I don’t have to borrow from foreign banks. Moreover, the entry of foreign capital was beyond my expectations. The large-scale entry of British merchants into domestic manufacturing and mining industries has brought the country into a stage of great development that has not been seen in thousands of years since ancient times. All parts of the country are developing, and telegraph lines, railways, and some unprecedented things have entered China one after another. Big-nosed foreigners are much more common than before. The changes in 1892 have had a huge psychological impact on the Chinese people, and many people are a little dazzled.
The internal combustion engine of Maybach has made new progress, with much greater power than before. This has also enabled Zeppelin Airship Company's airship to reach an unprecedented height, and can advance 100 miles in the air every hour! The most important thing is that the load capacity of this thing can reach a few tons of eight.
John Holland went to the Jiangnan Shipyard, and it was reported that Mr Holland wanted to get a boat that could sail under the water. He was addicted to this thing all day long. When I saw the report, I smiled. I knew that in the true sense, I might not have to wait too long for a submarine.
The Wright brothers from the United States brought their bicycles to China and opened a bicycle company in Wuhan. Of course, they were not rich people, and their main capital was paid by the royal family. It is said that Tan Sitong's father, Tan Jixun, who was then the governor of Hubei, was inspired by his son Tan Sitong, and specially added a quick response team to the new Hubei army. They rode bicycles and were equipped with pistols, which could quickly perform quick response tasks in the city or be used for reconnaissance...
Song Qing, the new governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who came to Beijing, told me about the interesting things about Old Man Weng. On the way to Beijing, Song Qing visited Old Man Weng in Jiangning Mansion, but he told Old Man Weng all afternoon about the gossip, saying how smart the emperor was when he was young, and that a generation of holy lords should do his best to assist. He is old and can no longer serve the emperor, and the world depends on you. He completely ignores that Song Qing is also a seventy-year-old, and he is qualified to be old Song. Old Song is not angry, so he has to listen helplessly.
After hearing this, I laughed. Song Qing had a very old style and a cheerful person, so he went to Miao Village alone and said that he had the ability to rebel against the Miao people. Therefore, I explained to him that the primary task of serving as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was to reorganize the army and prepare for war, and at the same time, the French were to extend their hands to other vassal states in the south, and to provide effective support to the Nanzhang and other countries. At the same time, I was not ready to go to war with France, and I could not anger the French too much. Song Qing took his life and rushed to Guangzhou thousands of miles away. This old minister was so old that I couldn't bear to let him run around anymore, but there was no way. I really couldn't afford the stall of Guangdong and Guangxi. I had to let him work hard for another five or six years.
Liu Mingchuan from Taiwan also went, allowing Tang Jingsong to unify the military and political affairs of Taiwan and Fujian. Huguang was handed over to Fengsheng, the troops of Fengtai camp were taken over by Nie Shicheng, and the entire defense of the capital was basically handed over to Nie Shicheng, the admiral of the Nine Gates of the City Guard Hui Chong, and the imperial guards were riding.
Liang Qichao served as a servant. If we consider the legal principles of later generations, in fact, every imperial edict I issued was a decree. The role I wanted him to organize my will and find out the regular things from it, so as to set a political foundation for the formulation of various laws in the future.
On this basis, I thought of reorganizing Dali Temple and letting them play the role of justice. I was not very familiar with the people of Dali Temple, so I ordered someone to summon Liu Guangdi, intending to let him draw appropriate manpower from the Ministry of Justice to manage the matter.
"Emperor..." Liang Qichao seemed to have a certain understanding of Western learning and asked, "I look at Your Majesty's intention, as if I wanted to follow the Westerners' method of decentralizing power? If so, the Ministry of Justice would be released, which seems to be tangible but indefinitely. I beg Your Majesty to judge."
It makes sense, it is not good to have a political career. I nodded and said, "You are right, but I still have you. In today's world, talents are rare, and it is a last resort to a political career. Laws are the most important tools of the country, and they cannot be taken care of by capable ministers. What you said, I have issued an edict to clearly define it, the Ministry of Justice Department arrests, and the Dali Temple Department will judge. This will be a period of five years. Five years later, all prefectures and counties should add the Dali Temple Department to specialize in the trial. There is no hurry to do this. The important thing is to have such a talent training plan. You must be familiar with the laws of the Qing Dynasty. The laws of the Qing Dynasty are born from the laws of the previous Ming Dynasty. If you want to add the items of deletion, you must also start researching them. Alas, in the final analysis, I have no one to use it. If there is someone else, I really should let you go abroad to see it."
Liang Qichao brows moved, as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he knelt down and said, "I received the order. However, when Your Majesty said about talents, I dare not agree. I will ask Your Majesty to forgive me."
I laughed and said, "I am not saying that I cannot tolerate others' complaints. When I speak, there is no monarch and minister today, but I just discuss things." I am not so stingy about the talents I admire.
Liang Qichao stood up and smiled and said, "I am rude. I dare to ask you, what is talent?"
I smiled and said, "Talented people are talented people. I use my own strength to turn the tide when it is over, and support the building to fall. A hero among the people. Like you, I think you are also a small talent." I am not praising him against my will. Among the people who read history and reform in the future, I respected him, but Tan Liang.
"I dare not, nor do I want to." Liang Qichao smiled and raised his head and said, "Your Majesty thought about it. Since the ancestor dragon, the era of the most talents in China has been the alternation of the two Han dynasties, the Three Kingdoms and Jin dynasties, the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Mongols and Yuan Zhu Ming. There are also the twenty-eight generals of Emperor Guangwu of Han and the 28 generals of Emperor Taizong of Tang and several heroes. Your Majesty, these are all chaotic times. The so-called heroes come from troubled times, and only when the country is in troubled times, will there be many heroes come from many. Although heroes and talents are born, life is in troubled, and the country is full of miserables.
The family is in chaos, this is not a blessing for my China." As he said, he sighed and said, "It seems that my dynasty has entered the pass, and there are many famous generals, and there are many talents and talents. But how lucky the country is? How lucky the people? Changmao has caused chaos, and the heroes at the moment are like Zeng Wenzheng, Zuo Wenxiang, and Hu Peng, and other famous generals under his jurisdiction. But how lucky the country is? How lucky the people? Your Majesty, now that the country is peaceful, I think what I desire is not such talent, but specialty. Your Majesty thinks twice."
Good point! That's right, the era of heroes is often the era of the country's devastating creatures. In fact, when is there a hero? It's just that heroes need troubled times. In a peaceful and prosperous era, people who have the opportunity to become heroes may just be a small inconspicuous screw on the country's machine. Well, with this, Liang Qichao's ability as Minister of Human Resources!
I couldn't help but look at him with appreciation and said, "Well, it seems that I'm right to let you go with me. When Guangdi comes, guess who will he choose?"
"Reply to the emperor." Liang Qichao was not proud when he heard what I praised him. He bowed honestly and said, "I think that except for the Shen family, I will not think of a second person."
Shen Jiaben? I nodded and smiled, "Shen Jiaben seems to be not right with our Shangshu Liu recently. Will Liu Peicun recommend him?"
"Reply to the emperor, Peicun is a straight minister, and Peicun will not do anything to abolish the public because of his personal destruction." Liang Qichao smiled and said, "Besides, Zichun (the character Chen) is just not used to it for a while. Peicun's recommendation is probably a story of the generals and ministers of the Qing Dynasty."
"Yeah." I smiled and said, "It's a good thing. I'll help Pei Cun. Oh, when it comes to interpersonal relationships, this is also a matter. In the past, Teacher Weng and Li Zhongtang, Li Zhongtang and Zhang Zhidong had this problem. You, Liang Qichao, became a new celebrity, I guess you are also worried about it, right?"
Liang Qichao smiled bitterly and bowed and said, "This is what I expected. I am grateful to you by Your Majesty and entered the center with a new sensation. Some people can think of it. Some people are trapped in my subordinates, but it is not easy for me to refuse. Fortunately, I followed me and there are few old people in the capital, so I can resist it. What I wish is to do my best to do my best to help me, and to achieve the foundation of the sage."
I smiled and nodded and said, "My foundation is nothing more than the foundation of China. I will do my best to do my best. You will also be famous in history in the future."
"Your Majesty just said Teacher Weng, I dared to let Teacher Weng retire and return home. I dare not say that Your Majesty is punished severely. But Teacher Weng..." Liang Qichao's face was quiet, and he knelt on the ground, as if he wanted to plead for Old Man Weng.
It's strange that Old Man Weng has no personal relationship with them. I was confused and waved my hand to stop Liang Qichao and said, "Your dear, letting him retire is my greatest love for him. If he is still in the court, he will make greater mistakes. He will make a rival country and be deceived by Hirofumi Ito, and he actually looks like a minister for Japan. Is he still like a minister? Letting him go home is also to fulfill him and fulfill my teacher-student friendship." My face was not very good. After thinking about it, I would like to ask someone to do something big soon. I have to make decisions and cannot use this mental state.
So I remembered the allusion that a so-called great writer in later generations named Yu said, who regarded resignation as the meaning of obtaining an official position, and couldn't help but smile. At this time, Kou Lian came to report and Liu Guangdi handed over a sign to meet him.
When Liu Guangdi came in to discuss matters, he talked about the lack of Dali Temple Zhengqing, Liu Guangdi really recommended Shen Jiaben. Shen Jiaben is currently serving as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Justice, equivalent to the first deputy minister. Therefore, letting him become the Master of Dali Temple, just as I was going to raise the position of Dali Temple, which was a resurgence for him. The reason why he had a quarrel with Liu Guangdi before was simply that his subordinate suddenly ran over to him and became a boss, which was a temporary discomfort. This person's normality does not damage his character.
Liu Guangdi was told to prepare for the reorganization of the inspection departments of prefectures, prefectures, county departments as soon as possible, and to add special officials, administrative heads such as prefectures, prefectures, and Taotai, etc., and will no longer supervise criminal matters, and will instead be sent by the Ministry of Justice to vertically manage them. When the Dali Temple Department lays the organizational structure to grassroots units in the future, these two departments can completely take over legal affairs. The administrative heads will be in charge of administration, which is much more leisurely than in the past, and can also have greater energy to solve some people's livelihood problems.
When Liu Guangdi left, he summoned Shen Jiaben and told him that his new appointment was from Liu Guangdi's recommendation. He was naturally quite embarrassed by my regret. The first thing I asked him to do was to purify the powers of Dali Temple and the distribution of the powers of the Ministry of Justice. After this matter was completed, the first law was the "Relationship Law with Tianhai" written by the emperor himself. The articles were naturally written with high sound. The so-called "To maintain peace, security and stability in East Asia, and to promote the freedom of communication between the Qing people and the Tianhai people, and to promote friendly relations between the Qing people and the Tianhai people, this law was specially issued.
The law has a total of more than 18 articles and thirty paragraphs, which detailed the Qing Dynasty's defense obligations for Tianhai's security, as well as its usual support for Tianhai's army, and the terms of agreement that under what circumstances the Qing Dynasty would send troops to implement effective support for Tianhai. In short, Tianhai was officially established and belonged to the vassal of the Qing Dynasty. Any hostile acts against Tianhai will be regarded as declaring war on the Qing Dynasty.
At the same time, Dali Temple issued a newly revised "Qing Laws" and added some new entries to adapt to the current booming business development. Some commercial crimes were also included in the laws. In addition, three horrific tortures, including Lingchi, beheading and corpse killing, were also abolished. At the ceremony of the new law, a reporter from the China Times also interviewed Shoushan and Yongshan, reflecting on the tragic situation of Yuan Chonghuan being Lingchi, and expressed a humanistic concern and the information that the court intended to reflect on the past. This move played a great role in controlling the people's hearts.
This was also the role of Kong Lingyi's knowledge and good use of people. Kang Youwei was promoted to Right Assistant Minister and was in charge of public opinion. It was under his personal guidance that this action of revising the law was most widely welcomed. Kong Lingyi also made great contributions. It was through his special identity that he called on students from all over the world to "be kind and forgive for the saints and to relieve worries and confusions for the common people." Students from all over the country responded. As soon as the newspapers arrived in various places, local students would explain the meanings in the newspapers to the public in a wide range. Therefore, although the illiteracy rate at that time reached more than 90%, the new policy of the court was soon known to all people. Moreover, most people understood the saints of today and were working hard to seek benefits for the people.
What prompted me to promulgate the "Relations with Tianhai" was a smooth progress that Matsuhira Shino in Japan that I was unexpectedly surprised. Due to the Japanese government's militant policy strategy, domestic dissatisfaction with the Meiji government was increasing. Under this circumstance, Matsuhira Shinan used Hokkaido for 10 or 20 years and the Meiji seal was not very heavy. He established a good personal relationship with the leaders of some military military soldiers. Moreover, since Vladivostok was in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, the support for Tianhai from there was also a key factor. When the Qing Dynasty Royal Navy announced the scope of naval patrol in August, it was stipulated that the north to Miaojie were all the range of ships of the Royal Navy. Therefore, Shinan Matsuhei, based on Okujiri, quickly launched anti-Meiji government propaganda through some of its talents, and distributed food and other daily necessities to ordinary people in poverty. Under such circumstances, the Tianhai Kingdom flourished underground. The Meiji government's energy was completely focused on developing arms, but he did not expect that such an anti-government force would emerge in its own north. There were less than 50,000 soldiers in Hokkaido, and more than 10,000 people in the northern part of Hokkaido Island were basically under the control of Shino Matsuhei's legacy force. The small islands around Hokkaido, with the assistance of our Royal Navy, were completely firmly grasped by the Tianhai Kingdom.
All of this is the contribution of the army stationed in Japan by the new army of Shandong. In just over a year, they trained the Tianhai Kingdom with more than 2,000 people. All of them used the Wuhan Guns and Cannon Factory's 16-type imitation Mauser 1888 rifles and a small number of camp cannons. The new training method is better than the Hokkaido military army of the Meiji government.
Under such circumstances, in the second half of 1893, Shino Matsuhei submitted a request for the official establishment of the country. I agreed with it. At the same time, I issued an order to promulgate the "Relations with Tianhai" and sent a team led by Fun Tingshi, Deputy Minister of the General Administration of Education, and Xu Shichang, Deputy Director of the Royal Army Command Academy. At the same time, the Royal Navy sent a fleet to announce the assistance of Ojiri Island. Therefore, although Ojiri Island has no strategic depth and Hokkaido Island is not under full control, the Ojiri Island has still announced its establishment.
On the day of its founding, Shino Matsuhira announced the goal of the Hokkaido Kingdom: to restore the old land of the old Hokkaido Kingdom. This is an open goal, and the goal inside is self-evident. And Fu Tingshi announced that the Qing court had full responsibility for the Hokkaido Kingdom. Once this matter was reported by the China Times and reprinted by Japanese newspapers, the Meiji government then learned that Hokkaido Island was isolated in the north and had already had big trouble. Whether the Hokkaido Development Minister was still on the side of the Meiji government at this time was still on the side of the Meiji government, since he had never reported it to Tokyo before, it seems that his position is already unknown.
Japanese public opinion was in an uproar, and the lifespan of Matsubashi's cabinet had reached its limit. Amid the angry condemnation, the emperor abandoned Matsubashi Matsubashi and Hirofumi Ito formed a cabinet.
I originally thought that the Japanese government would immediately use troops to Tianhai, but I didn't expect that Hirofumi Ito endured it. His first step was to abide by the status quo, but instead sent Muro Osama to Beijing to inquire about the matter with the General Administration.
Zaiying came to ask for an order to respond. I was a little confused about Hirobuki Ito's strategy, so I set a tone: Sino-Japanese friendship is the mainstream, and China and Japan are friendly neighbors with a slim line. The Qing court would never support the independence of Tianhai, nor would it support one day, one day, one day. However, the Qing Dynasty must consider the choice of the people of Tianhai and the Qing Dynasty, and should respect it. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty did not want to see any kind of war between Tianhai and Tian, and hoped that the Japanese side would maintain restraint and end the disputes and differences through negotiation. Before this, the Qing Navy would be responsible for the security of Tianhai.
This is the current position of the Qing Dynasty, and it is unshakable.
Chapter completed!
