1414 The power of the imperial power

The British minister and counselor in Beijing looked at the telegram and were guessing what tricks Xiao Letian had, and Heng Liwen in the Shanghai concession hid in the bar and began to drink heavily in broad daylight, cursing and cursing Xiao Letian's hell. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

On Yuwan Mountain on Amami Oshima, the red-haired Aikesen listened to the sleepless ideological attacks on the enemy's position, and those strange-sounding Russian words had tormented him and were about to go crazy, Xiao Lotian had become a nightmare in his heart at the moment.

In the Ryukyu Naha Castle, King Shangtai held a city-wide parade, hundreds of thousands of citizens took to the streets to celebrate the victory in the war, and also celebrated the simultaneous opening of the Suzhou Stock Market and the Ryukyu Stock Market.

......

A naval battle, a land war, a financial war! Xiao Lotian completely turned into the frenzy of East Asia in 1869, and the whole of Asia was swept away by this storm.

Zhiyuan went against the current on the Yangtze River, no ship in the middle of the channel dared to steal the limelight of the prime minister, those Western cargo ships who showed off their might, saw the Zhiyuan coming from a distance and quickly got out of the way of the main channel, and the captains and sailors all took off their hats and bowed when the two ships staggered.

What made the people of the Qing Dynasty even more jaw-dropping was that the five-clawed golden dragon flag of the Great Qing Kingdom was also raised, and the Tongzhi Emperor wearing a dragon robe actually showed his identity and accepted the worship of all the people.

For a time, the officials and people on both sides of the river flocked to the city, and the last Qing Dynasty emperor who went down to the south of the Yangtze River was still Lord Qianlong, and the story of the six visits to the south of the Yangtze River has long been a legendary story sung on the stage.

Eighty-five years have passed, a full eighty-five years have passed, and eighty-five years have passed since the sixth time that Lord Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and the sudden appearance of Emperor Tongzhi this time completely shook the whole of South China.

The magistrates were crazy, they opened the treasury and used all the gold and silver, forcing the rich families of the whole city to lose silver together, and the colorful sheds along the river were all temporarily built, and the loess was cushioned layer after layer.

Wherever the Zhiyuan passed, the magistrates and gentry knelt in the black, and everyone's mountain shouted long live, and people begged the emperor to appreciate the dragon's face and come to their rule to have a look.

Thousands of years of Chinese people's superstition about imperial power, has been integrated into the bloodline, almost all hearts have a holy monarch and Ming Jun plot, in this collective excitement consciousness, Tongzhi Emperor actually only needs to be a little smarter and a little pretentious, can be very easy to win the hearts of the people.

Of course, Jae-soon knew the master's purpose and made himself public, which was to promote his stock market and use the powerful blessing of imperial power to provide legitimacy for his economic layout.

Xiao Letian is the emperor, this identity is known to the whole world, and now the emperor is implementing the stock market in Jiangnan to help Jiangnan survive this money shortage, and it is reasonable for such a big event to be an apprentice.

Jae-chun didn't have the slightest complaint, he hoped that the master would use him like this a few more times, and use him as a shield for the people's grievances, as long as he could let him see his own people more, he would rather let the master use it.

Zaichun stood on the high bridge under the scorching sun, waving to the people on both sides of the river, in fact, the Zhiyuan in the middle of the Yangtze River was still far away from both sides of the river, and the people couldn't see the Tongzhi Emperor on the battleship at all.

It was enough for people to see the ship and the huge five-clawed golden dragon flag fluttering above the mast, as long as they knew that the emperor was on it, and the holy monarch of their spiritual belief was on it!

"Long live the emperor!" The people on both sides of the strait kowtowed like pounding garlic, roaring hoarsely, and even some old people fainted with excited tears.

Along the way, countless magistrates knelt in the loess and shouted long live, holding the excerpts they had written to praise the holy monarch, regardless of whether Zaichun could hear it or not, shouting their names and resumes vigorously, these petty officials did not expect to have the opportunity to be received by the emperor, but they still wanted to gamble their luck.

Petty officials can only eat soil on the shore, but when they reach the level of Futai and Daotai, they are bolder, and there are even military attaches stationed in Jiangnan with Manchurians, who are all domestic slaves of the emperor, and they are naturally more privileged.

Countless yachts, painting boats, and even small steam paddle steamers of foreigners have been requisitioned, such as Shanghai Road, Suzhou Mansion, Taicang Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion, Changshu Mansion, Zhenjiang Mansion, ...... All the local officials gathered on both sides of the Zhiyuan in small boats, escorting the battleship forward like stars and moons.

"Long live the emperor! Long live it! Come and take a look at our Changshu! The people of Changshu are looking forward to the face of heaven and are already looking forward to it, begging Your Majesty to move!"

"Yangzhou Mansion has cleaned the famous garden, and the local gentry beg His Majesty to come ashore!"

"I beg Your Majesty to come to Suzhou...... The Suzhou stock market has been listed for trading, Your Majesty will come and take a look!"

......

The river is full of chaotic shouts of greetings and praises to the saints, Jaechun is now drunk, although he has not heard this kind of praise in the Forbidden City, and it is rare to see officials kowtow to himself, but it is all a stylized process, and it is insincere to look at it.

But today is different, these middle-level officials of the Great Qing Dynasty have no chance to talk to the emperor in Beijing, and it is such an honor to be able to take over from them at this moment, and such praise brings full sincerity.

Coupled with the tsunami of Wanmin Mountain, everything made Jae-chun intoxicated!

"This is my country! This is my people!"

Xiang Ying looked at everything in front of him in the cockpit, his eyes were faint, but he didn't have any envy, jealousy and hatred, he just felt very pitiful, and all the scenery of Zaichun couldn't hide his pity.

"Enjoy your study tour, when you return to that prison in the Forbidden City, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such a chance to be close to the people!"

Xiang Ying inherited the mantle of Xiao Letian, and his views on the current political situation all came from the prime minister, and many unique views were not possessed by people in that era.

Jae-chun is just a thirteen-year-old child, and even if a child of this age is a genius, what merit does he have that deserves such praise from the people? He has not had time to govern, and he has not even been able to govern himself.

But such a thirteen-year-old boy who was not in charge of the government and was hidden in the palace, once he appeared in the people of the Great Qing Dynasty, he could cause such a huge wave and release such a huge amount of energy.

In the final analysis, it is not that Zaichun is very capable, but that China's thousands of years of great unification of imperial power is very powerful, and thousands of years of brainwashing have made the Chinese have a religious superstition about imperial power, and the emperor is the representative of heaven on earth.

The emperor of heaven and earth is the teacher, and the emperor's position is above the parents, this kind of thinking is very corrupt in modern people, but in that era, it was the morality that people followed, or it can be said to be the law.

Jae-chun only bears such a righteous name, as long as he wears such a hat, he has already become a god!
