Chapter 108: The Great Qin Empire (Page 1/1)

At the wedding ceremony of the regent Jiang Chuan, the emperor announced in public that he would cede the throne to Jiang Chuan, and this news stunned everyone present, except for Jiang Chuan and a few confidant ministers.

Everyone's hearts burned after the shock, and they locked their eyes on Jiang Chuan to see what kind of reaction he would make.

Although everyone knew that Jiang Chuan was the actual controller of this empire, and the emperor's throne would belong to him sooner or later, it was something that no one expected to come in such a way.

"Since Your Majesty values the minister so much, the minister reluctantly takes over this burden." Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, the regent Jiang Chuan smiled indifferently, took the holy decree, and his tone was relaxed as if he had agreed to go to a banquet.

The emperor paused for a moment, obviously not expecting Jiang Chuan to be so unpretentious, and then smiled bitterly, and a feeling of loss and relief arose in his heart.

"Your Majesty is so generous, and the minister will also fulfill Your Majesty's wishes." Jiang Chuan looked at the emperor and said with a smile.

The emperor was on the throne in public, and he naturally didn't mind leaving the emperor alive.

It's just that the emperor needs to be under his nose.

After a moment of silence, a tsunami-like voice sounded:

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

Although it is not explained, everyone knows who this long live is for.

…… I'm the lovely divider......

A month after the wedding, Ji Siyuan, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, held a grand Zen throne ceremony in the Qianqing Palace, officially announcing his abdication to the world and ceding the throne to the regent Jiang Chuan.

On the same day, the regent Jiang Chuan ascended the throne in the Qianqing Palace, that is, the emperor's throne, and announced that the country was changed to Qin, announcing to the world, and was known as Qin Taizu in history.

Princess Bai Jinxiu was canonized as the queen of the main palace and ruled the harem.

When the news spread, the whole world cheered, and the whole world celebrated, and officials from various war zones, provinces, and state capitals congratulated and expressed their allegiance to the Great Qin Emperor.

The three Koreans, the Mongol tribes, and even the king of Fuso, which was already under the de facto control of Great Qin, also sent envoys to congratulate the Great Qin Emperor on his accession to the throne.

Half a month after Jiang Chuan ascended the throne, Xia Junze, the former first assistant of the cabinet, asked for release and was appointed as the governor of the southwest, presiding over the reform and return of the southwestern natives. and crowned the title of prince and teacher, and the title of secretary of the military department.

The cabinet was changed to the Government Council by Emperor Jiang Chuan, responsible for the affairs of the world, and the Prime Minister of the Government Council was established, and Liu Ji, the former deputy assistant of the Cabinet, served as the first Prime Minister. There are also four political counselors to assist the prime minister in handling government affairs, which are served by Su Qin, Hu Zongxian and others.

The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry are under the management of the Government Council.

Many pedantic old bureaucrats were dismissed, a large number of young officials were promoted, and the Great Qin court presented a vibrant atmosphere.

The following year, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Great Qin Emperor announced to the world that the era name Wude was activated, and the year was the first year of Wude.

Jiangchuan wins the world with martial arts, and rules the world with virtue, which is for martial virtue.

After the official establishment of the Great Qin, he ordered the abolition of many of the maladministrations of the previous dynasties, and completely abolished many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so that the people could recuperate and accumulate national strength.

On the other hand, continue to order all theaters to dispatch troops to suppress bandits, suppress and appease at the same time, and those bandits and bandits who are willing to take the initiative to go down the mountain and surrender to the imperial court can be exempted from their previous crimes and reorganized into civilian households.

Those who were stubborn and continued to resist were mercilessly exterminated by the army, and all the captives were killed.

After half a year of comprehensive suppression of bandits, the bandits in the world are almost extinct, and the people of Great Qin have gained an unprecedented sense of security, and they have a sense of belonging to the new Great Qin Dynasty.

The armies dispatched to suppress bandits are all National Guards in various theaters, and they are basically units that have not undergone combat baptism since they became an army, so this half-year-long crackdown on bandits is actually a training operation formulated by the General Staff.

At the same time, the combat effectiveness and combat awareness of the troops participating in the battle have been markedly enhanced, and at the same time, some problems have been exposed, which has pointed out the direction for the troops' future construction and training.

While the second-line troops were vigorously suppressing bandits, Jiang Chuan also turned his attention to the construction of the navy.

In the past, due to the needs of the situation, the focus of construction and expansion was all army units, but the construction of the navy lagged behind obviously.

Although the navy has made a lot of contributions in previous battles, to be honest, the navy still only has the ability to fight in the near sea, that is, it can only fight at home.

In order to have ocean-going combat capabilities, the navy needs to carry out a thorough upgrade, and the main warships must be upgraded in terms of tonnage, driving force, and firepower.

At present, all warships at this stage are sail warships, using wind power as power. In this way, both the tonnage and speed of the battleship will be completely limited, after all, there are many wind restrictions.

According to Egawa's plan, the main warships of the navy will all be steam-powered in the future. However, if you want to make a steam engine, it is basically impossible to build a steam engine with Jiang Chuan, a liberal arts student, and the current level of science and technology in this world.

So the only way is to wait for the fortress system to be upgraded to the post-industrial era.

The main sign of the system's upgrade to the post-industrial era is the birth and mass popularization of the steam engine. In the original history, the key to the global expansion of Western colonizers was also the birth and popularization of the internal combustion engine.

However, although the system is trouble-free, the resources consumed by upgrading once are very large. In particular, the more you upgrade later, the more resources you need, which is simply astronomical.

Entering the post-industrial era is the last upgrade of the fortress system, and the resources required are even more amazing.

Jiang Chuan had no choice but to patiently wait for the conditions for upgrading to mature while dealing with government affairs.

However, for this era, if something like the internal combustion engine suddenly appears, it will definitely cause everyone to be amazed, and this epoch-making product completely shatters people's previous cognition.

In the past, people used animal power, or wind power, or manpower, which has almost made people form an inherent understanding: power can only come from external forces.

If people suddenly see a car that can run on its own, a ship that can swim on its own, the first reaction of most people will be that the car and ship are fine, hell.

All, Jiang Chuan has to make a series of preparations before the formal interview of the internal combustion engine to give people a buffer time.

He first issued an edict to establish the Daqin Royal Academy of Sciences, concurrently serving as the president of the Academy of Sciences, and then selected scholars between the ages of sixteen and thirty from all over the country to join the Academy of Sciences.

After these young people passed a specific examination and entered the Academy of Sciences, Jiang Chuan, the dean, personally taught them, taught them some basic physical theories, and sometimes did a little experiment to verify these theories.

This kind of small experiment is basically a classic experiment in the history of physical development, and Jiang Chuan is just a demonstration of a cat and a tiger.

This kind of elementary physics theory course, junior high school physics can be completely handled.

The most amazing but puzzling thing for everyone is the famous test of two iron balls hitting the ground at the same time.

Galileo broke the world's three views in the original time and space, and Jiang Chuan also achieved the same effect in this time and space.
