In the process of executing the personnel of the Spanish Governor's Palace, hangings performed fancy such as single hanging, double hanging, five people hanging on the same stage, and ten people hanging at the same time on two platforms.

The British and French ministers said that this was a political hazard and an unacceptable atrocity, and that the Dutch East Indies authorities did not say a word. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs declares the principle of non-foreign interference in China's internal affairs.

The Navy and the Army jointly summed up the landing operation, and while summing up, the Navy sent warships everywhere to erect boundary markers on Luzon and its affiliated islands to prove China's ownership of these islands.

The State Council, on the other hand, happily drew up a budget, drew up a resettlement plan, and prepared a production plan. Just one province of Lan Fong has absorbed more than 300,000 immigrants so far, and Luzon is more livable than Lan Fang Province, and it is very easy to immigrate to millions of people in the past. Migration not only eases the pressure on land in the country, but also makes the economies of Luzon and Lanfang an important part of China.

The Ministry of Finance should have been unhappy, war and immigration are both expensive actions, and the current life of the Ministry of Finance is not ordinary sadness. It's just that this time the Ministry of Finance also smiled uncharacteristically. The Spaniards exploited Luzon for hundreds of years, and all the wealth they accumulated fell into the hands of China. Not only the officials, but also the businessmen were looted by China. Boxes and boxes of seized Spanish gold and silver coins were shipped to China, and with these gold and silver coins, there was a solid foundation for the issuance of banknotes.

The riches that war, especially at sea, bring are refreshing. Even Weeser reiterated that the future war would be fought again in 1870, so no one dared to make a request for an immediate march into the Dutch East Indies. But everyone was holding back their energy to prepare for war. The Navy was well aware of its position at this time, and they opened their mouths and doubled the number of warships launched by 1870. If it had been half a year ago, the naval plan would never have been able to get through. Now this shipbuilding budget has been approved with unprecedented efficiency, and this is undoubtedly everyone's attitude.

"Governor, if it weren't for rubber, spices, and palm oil, we would only lose money if we occupied the South China Sea!" Bi Qingshan made a sincere speech at the meeting.

As soon as this statement came out, the next thing was a flood of words.

"That's right, that's right! The Governor is the greatest hero! ”

"The governor leads us, and the rotten land can become a good land!"

Zuo Zongtang frowned and listened to the heartfelt words of these people, and he was very disappreciative of these high-ranking officials from the bottom in his heart. These people have never called Wei Ze His Majesty, and now even the word "meritorious hero" has come out, which is disrespectful in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they are afraid that they will lose their heads. And Wei Ze didn't think much of it at all, which made Zuo Zongtang feel very worried.

Rubber, spices, palm oil, and the large-scale water conservancy construction that the troops have now begun in the liberated areas, including the construction of railways where Zuo Zongtang can only see the surface, these are all major events that will benefit the present generation and the future. But Weeser's role in this is all too strange. According to the history that Zuo Zongtang has seen, these should be the work of his subordinates. Wei Ze took on all these tasks like an incomparable prime minister, but he was the emperor, not the prime minister. In the work of stabilizing the imperial power and establishing a country for thousands of generations, Wei Ze can undoubtedly be called lazy.

If it was before, Zuo Zongtang would inevitably think that Wei Ze "is not like a human king". Now these new governments led by Weizer have shown great ability to govern, and have even gradually solved the fundamental social problems that the Manchus were simply unable to solve. Zuo Zongtang had to worry about Wei Ze's throne.

After the meeting, Zuo Zongtang went to find Wei Ze's father-in-law, Qi Yuchang. Qi Yuchang, as a bibliophile, had heard of Zuo Zongtang's reputation before he came out to become an official, and after the two met, they had the meaning of seeing each other late. Qi Yuchang admired Zuo Zongtang's insight, and Zuo Zongtang had a similar feeling for Qi Yuchang. After all, the origin of high-ranking officials in the Weeser government is indeed a problem.

Zuo Zongtang said: "Duke Qi, it is a great blessing for our subordinates to be so wise and martial. I followed His Majesty for a short time, but I felt that I had no regrets in this life. It's just that His Majesty despises imperial power too much, and I don't know whether to praise His Majesty for his self-confidence, or whether to say that His Majesty is too big. ”

Qi Yuchang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh again and again after listening to Zuo Zongtang's words, Wei Ze is his son-in-law, and Wei Ze and Qi Hongyi have a good relationship as husband and wife, plus Wei Ze's style, as well as the internal democratic system of the central government, so Qi Yuchang commented on his son-in-law unceremoniously, "My virtuous son-in-law is too big-hearted and too wild-hearted, so I know that I will mess around with his brothers!" Zuo Gong, you have been Wei Ze's secretary for so long, how many decent people do you think of his gang? If it weren't for Wei Ze leading them, who would have been able to make a name for themselves before? They don't know it yet, and there is no distinction between kings and ministers in their psychology at all. Open your mouth, shut your mouth, and when did it happen! But Weize didn't care about them at all, and let them mess around like this. ”

After Zuo Zongtang experienced so many things, he was good at self-cultivation and kung fu, and he turned a blind eye to Qi Yuchang's calling Wei Ze's real name, he just smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that Qi Yuchang himself didn't realize that he was also assimilated by Wei Ze's team at all. Even if Qi Yuchang is Wei Ze's father-in-law, calling Wei Ze's name is a big disrespectful felony.

Avoiding this embarrassing question, Zuo Zongtang said: "I just think that His Majesty has not yet made the distinction between monarchs and ministers, and it is indeed a bit of a big ...... not to establish a prince."

"Do you think I didn't tell him? Since ancient times, he has been a long-term heir, and now that His Majesty has three sons and one daughter, the matter of establishing a prince should have been talked about a long time ago. Qi Yuchang was even more annoyed when he mentioned this.

Zuo Zongtang can fully understand Qi Yuchang's mood at this time, his daughter Qi Hongyi gave birth to two sons to Wei Ze, and Wei Ze's other wife Li Yifang gave birth to a son and a daughter to Wei Ze, and now there are three boys who theoretically inherit the imperial power. The so-called establishment of the long-term is what has been said since ancient times, "the establishment of the heir is not to be virtuous, and the son is not to be long". It means that under the same circumstances, regardless of whether the son is virtuous or not, the eldest son must be appointed as the heir. If this condition cannot be achieved, then the choice is made according to the noble birth of the son's mother.

According to the theory of establishing a successor, Qi Hongyi's eldest son should inherit the unification. If something happens to the eldest son, it becomes interesting. "Establish a son with a long term but not a virtuous one, and establish a son with a noble one rather than a long one." Li Yifang's first son is older than Qi Hongyi's second son, and he belongs to the older one.

Speaking of his mother's family, Qi Hongyi's father Qi Yuchang is the Minister of Education. Li Yifang's uncle Li Yuchang is now the governor of Fujian, and Li Yifang's cousin Li Weisi is the current governor of Hunan.

The new government's Marriage Law stipulates that monogamy must be practiced after emancipation, but in the case of previous polygamy, if the woman is unwilling to divorce the man, then the marriage is also considered legal. And the wives do not have any status between themselves, and enjoy the same treatment.

Judging from the old system, Li Yifang is a side room. Qi Hongyi is the main room. In terms of the New Deal, there is no difference between the two. This mother's family became very interesting at this time, Li Yifang's father was just a showman, and he died early. But Qi Yuchang is just a bibliophile, and he has no fame. According to feudal tradition, Li Yifang's family is more noble.

Thinking of this, Zuo Zongtang even felt angry and funny. If, according to the legal system of the new dynasty, the ladies are completely equal, then the tradition of "establishing a son is noble rather than long" leads to a result, Li Yifang has more advantages, because her father's status is more noble, and her mother's family is more prominent. No wonder Qi Yuchang was a little angry when he mentioned this.

Zuo Zongtang had no interest in discussing with Qi Yuchang at this time, and the reason why he felt that Wei Ze wanted to be a minister was completely out of loyalty to Wei Ze. Following such a rare monarch, Zuo Zongtang is no longer worried about his future being fruitless. He was worried about whether Weese's dynasty would be able to survive. Weize is gradually solving the problem of excessive Chinese population, which no dynasty can solve, and now looking at Guò's foreign wars and expansion, this problem is very likely to be solved.

The founding monarch with such a feat deserves to have an iron bucket for thousands of generations, and Zuo Zongtang has completely seen how incompetent his former owner, the Manchu Qing regime, is. Such a scum regime can last for more than a hundred years, and if Wei Ze's country is a short-lived country, Zuo Zongtang feels that this is an injustice of heaven.

But this does not mean that Zuo Zongtang supports his relatives from the bottom of his heart, Zuo Zongtang has no intention of being a relative at all, and Jinliang's self-esteem makes him have no such thoughts at all. And Wei Ze looks down on the old literati, does he Zuo Zongtang really look down on the old literati of the same era?

What Zuo Zongtang is worried about is that if Wei Ze continues to follow the current intra-party democratic system, those committee members will inevitably have too much power, and sooner or later it will become a situation in which the tail will not be able to fall. The founding of the country in the past dynasties had to kill heroes, and with Wei Ze's sage, Zuo Zongtang thought that the reputation of killing heroes had too much impact on Wei Ze. So what he hopes now is that Weeser can quickly make adjustments to deal with the situation ahead.

But this qiē could not involve Zuo Zongtang in the struggle of his relatives. So he got up and said, "I still have some paperwork to sort out, and I'll visit you another day." ”

Although Qi Yuchang was a little surprised, Zuo Zongtang made such a clear statement, and he could understand it. After all, Zuo Zongtang is a secretary and a close attendant, and it is very bad for Zuo Zongtang to mix too many things with his relatives. And at this time, Qi Yuchang's thinking had shifted to the matter of establishing the prince. So at this time, Qi Yuchang's heart was full of unhappiness with Wei Ze. Qi Yuchang's grandson is Wei Ze's eldest son, and once the prince is established, the status of the Qi family will be fully established. The future royal family has Qi's blood in its body, and it is a connection that can never be severed. As long as the Qi family does not know how to die like their relatives in history, there will always be a place for the Qi family among the noble relatives of the new dynasty.

Didn't Wei Ze want Qi Yuchang to get such a reward? R1058
