Human development to the level of the state, regardless of the East and the West have been born a set of cumbersome procedures, it seems that they want to use a variety of rituals to characterize their legitimacy, Westerners are looking for the Pope to be crowned, even if Napoleon does whatever he wants, but also symbolically ask the Pope to come, which means that the monarchy is divine, and China is the same, but the Chinese emperor is the largest, whether it is the presiding over Buddhism or the Taoist Heavenly Master, they do not dare to crown the emperor, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, only heaven can crown the emperor, so the Chinese emperor is to worship the sky. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, it is not exactly the same, the sacrifice to the sky is already a very backward procedure, before the country name, the year name, the issuance of various national gifts, the notification of the countries of Fanbang, these need to be prepared in advance, some procedures that are further back than the sacrifice to the sky, probably only the great feudal heroes and the like, from the beginning of King Wu of Zhou to divide the princes has formed a routine.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhu Jinglun is tired of this set of procedures, he doesn't know if Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperors who seized the world by force, were also in this mood back then, or they were happy with this set, but whether they were happy or not, all the founding monarchs did the same thing honestly, because the people of the world recognize this set, you don't have this set of procedures, everyone feels unsteady, as if something is missing.

The text was the first to be written, and Chen Zhiting wrote it himself, and the content was not much different from the text of the rebels of the past dynasties, that is, he had counted all kinds of crimes of the previous dynasties and sought rationality for his own rebellion. The earliest recorded inscription is the Xia Dynasty's crusade against the Hu clan "Willing Oath", and then all dynasties have to publish a inscription when everything is to change the dynasty.

When Li Zicheng rebelled, he wrote "Suppressing the Soldiers and Suppressing the People", and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising wrote "Fengtian Seeking Hu Wei", Chen Zhiting was more orthodox, Li Zicheng and the Taiping Army were rebellious in his eyes, and he imitated Zhu Yuanzhang's "Zhu Yuanzhang's Fengtian Expedition to the Yuan Dynasty".

"Fu China since ancient times to control Yi Di, Yi Di outside China, China is declining Yi Di stealing things, only Yuan and Qing also. Qing Ben Donghu, into China..."

As the elite class of the previous generation, Chen Zhiting's inscription was relatively mild, why is it said to imitate Zhu Yuanzhang's inscription, because he, like Zhu Yuanzhang, recognized the legitimacy of the Manchu court in the inscription, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Since the Song Zuo tilted, the Yuan Dynasty Beidi entered China, within the four seas, and did not surrender, this is not manpower, it is really a gift from God", confirming that the Yuan Dynasty is a heavenly monarchy, since the anti-Yuan why should we recognize the legitimacy of the Yuan Dynasty?

In fact, I want to confirm my legitimacy in this way, when you Mongolians came in, it was not your own strength, it was the mission given to you by God, and now you are going to fail, it is also the mission that God gave me Zhu Yuanzhang.

Chen Zhiting's essay is also this kind of mold, saying that the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs was a response to heaven's fate. After that, he changed his pen, just like Zhu Yuanzhang denounced the Yuan court at that time, "the heirs sink into the wilderness, lose the way of the monarch and the minister, and put the prime minister's dictatorship, the constitution and Taiwan report grievances, and there are poisonous abuses" and other absurd and unscrupulous behaviors, Chen Zhiting belonged to the Daoxian and Xian dynasties, and the fact that the traitors were in power, also put forward the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to talk about things, saying that there must be demons when the country is about to die, and this is a heavenly police, so as to prove that the Qing Dynasty has lost the mandate of heaven.

After that, he said Zhu Jinglun, saying that Zhu Jinglun had exempted the people from taxes, and that Zhu Jinglun had helped the people defend the land, and that although Guangdong was not the old land of the Central Plains, it did inherit the mantle of China and wanted to go north to the Central Plains.

Hundreds of copies were quickly printed and posted in dangerous places in the counties. At the same time, it was also translated into various languages and sent to Hong Kong for delivery to ministers of various countries. In terms of etiquette, it should be sent to Western countries, but Chen Zhiting felt that it was unnecessary, so he insisted on sending one to Vietnam and handed it over to the king of Vietnam.

After the text was sent, it was naturally impossible to be silent, but the response was fierce, there was support, there were firecrackers at the door, there were those who opposed, and there were those who cried and scolded, but the vast majority of people expressed their silence, and they went out less, in any era, most people always watched the guests, even the flag people in Guangzhou were silent, the door was closed, and they were afraid.

Western countries have not yet given feedback, and they have long understood that sooner or later there will be a day, and when they receive the notice from Guangdong, they will immediately send it back to China and wait for the ruling of their own government.

Ten days after the release of the document, Mukdenne hurriedly asked to see Zhu Jinglun, saying that the court had appointed Zhu Jinglun as governor of Guangdong.

This could not be a reaction to Zhu Wen, it should be a reaction to Zhu Jinglun's impeachment of Jiang Yili last time, they saw that Zhu Jinglun defeated Jiang Yili and invaded Guangxi, but fortunately handed over Guangdong to Zhu Jinglun, satisfying Zhu Jinglun's ambitions, and hoping to restrain Zhu Jinglun from expanding to Guangxi for the time being.

"Yi Xin is really a little family, why don't you hand over Liangguang to me?"

Zhu Jinglun casually threw the letter of appointment aside.

Mu Kedenne was in a cold sweat, Zhu Jinglun sent all the documents, there were almost no dynasties who sent the documents and did not rebel, and the current dynasty issued the documents but did not rebel, I am afraid that it was a Zeng Guofan, he sent a "Discussion of Cantonese Bandits", and there was nothing else.

Mukdenne is a general in Guangzhou, once Zhu Jinglun rebels, I am afraid that he will take the first sacrifice flag, at this time it is not only his own business, what should I do if there are still tens of thousands of flag people in the city, people are panicked, he really hopes that Zhu Jinglun can suspend his action when he sees the promotion of the imperial court.

"What Lord Zhu said is that the general will immediately start the emperor, Zhu Da is talented and virtuous, and the governor of Liangguang is worthy of it, and it just so happens that Bai Gui is seriously ill and resigns, and Lord Zhu should not let it go!"

Zhu Jinglun sighed: "How can there be a turning arrow when you open the bow, you don't have to be afraid, so that the banner people in the city don't have to be afraid, I won't kill them." And I heard that the soldiers of the Eight Banners stationed in the land are quietly returning to the city, you do some work, let them guard where they should guard, leave without permission This is a deserter, and they should be beheaded according to the law! Give you three days, and after three days, I'll be clearing out the deserters. ”

As soon as the article came out, many banner people were worried about their families, and they quietly fled back from the counties where they were stationed, and it was useless for these people to be stationed everywhere, just to disperse them, so as not to make trouble, and now they are all fleeing to the city, plus the situation is tense, it is not impossible to do something irrational.

Mukdenne nodded repeatedly: "What the lord said, what the lord said." ”

Even if the 10,000 Eight Banners soldiers in the city come back, it will not help, Jiang Yili's 20,000 Hunan troops are not defeated or defeated, Jiang Yili can still escape if he is defeated, their families are all in the city, where to flee after defeat, Mukdenne doesn't want to see this kind of thing happen.

The reaction of the Manchus was not a reaction to the inscription, and it took at least three or four months to half a year for the Westerners to respond, but no one expected that the first force to react would be the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Through a missionary in Shanghai, they sent a letter, this time without mentioning the matter of Zhu Jinglun joining their Heavenly King, but only hoping to fight against the Qing demons together, and then divide China equally.

I don't know if this is what Hong Xiuquan means or Li Xiucheng means, but it makes Zhu Jinglun clear that the blockade of the Hunan army has not completely cut off the Taiping Army's contact with the outside world, and they still have a way to communicate with the outside world.

I heard that during the siege of the Hunan army, they were still doing business with the Taiping army, and in the market near Nanjing, the Taiping soldiers and the Hunan soldiers were able to do business with each other, so it should still be possible to pass the news through the blockade of the Hunan army, but the reinforcements will definitely not be able to pass, and the only way to pass is to fight.

Zhu Jinglun had already made a strategic decision to support the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and drag the Hunan army to the south of the Yangtze River, so he agreed to the joint action of the Taiping Army at the first time, but he did not say how to unite the law, and his tactics had to be kept secret at present, so as to have a surprise effect.

This tactical plan is to use the navy to assault the Hunan army and open a waterway from Shanghai to Nanjing, so that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can be given material assistance, as long as they are given assistance, they will not be defeated by the Hunan army, as long as the Taiping army is not defeated, Zhu Jinglun thinks that with Zeng Guofan's temper, it is impossible to withdraw the army from Nanjing, when Xianfeng ordered the capture of the king, he can not be moved, what else can take his eyes off the Taiping army.

It can be seen from Zeng Guofan's "Seeking Cantonese Bandits" that what he hated most was not that the Taiping army wanted to rebel and seize the world, but that they destroyed the way of Confucius and Mencius, "Li Zicheng went to Qufu not to commit the holy temple, and Zhang Xianzhong went to Zitong to sacrifice Wenchang." The Cantonese bandits burned the scholars of Chenzhou, destroyed the wood master of Xuansheng, ten philosophers and two houses, and the ground was full of messes. The heir is the county that he passed, and the temple was destroyed first, that is, the loyal ministers and righteous people such as the dignified king of Emperor Guan Yue also defiled his palace and mutilated his head. As well as Buddhist temples, Taoist monasteries, city gods, and shrines, all of them will not be burned, and no image will not be destroyed", if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also respected Confucius and Mencius at the beginning, I am afraid that Zeng Guofan might not have risen up to fight, and even if he rose up to fight, he might not be able to get the one-sided support of the gentry class of the two lakes.

Zeng Guofan has always regarded the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as the biggest disaster, even far superior to the threat of foreigners to China, which is of course greater than Zhu Jinglun's threat, so as long as he can save the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that is still breathing, the effect may be much more significant than forming an army of 100,000 to fight the Hunan army.

The good news is that whether it is a 5,000-ton flagship, or a 3,000-ton or 1,000-ton warship, all of them have been built, and there is no doubt that this is the most powerful naval force in the East at the current location. (To be continued.) )
