The text is only the first thing, Fang Shan has a clear division of labor with Chen Zhiting and Wu Chongyao, Wu Chongyao is for foreigners, Chen Zhiting is for internal affairs, and he is fully responsible for the enthronement ceremony. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Fang Shan knows a little bit about etiquette, otherwise he can't show people feng shui, but he is only a half-ass, he is very self-aware, at least in how to prepare for such a big ceremony as the enthronement ceremony, he can't play it, but he will invite people, he is looking for Long Yuanxi, the former Shaoqing of Taichang Temple in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

During the occupation of Guangzhou by the British and French forces, it was the most beautiful time for Long Yuanxi, and he organized the Guangzhou League Training General Bureau to organize tens of thousands of group exercises, but unfortunately Xianfeng did not trust the group exercises, after the recovery of Guangzhou City, he successively abolished more than half of the group exercises, and finally all the group exercises were taken by Li Futai to Guangxi to suppress the bandits, Long Yuanxi received a little nominal reward, and still sent back to his hometown Shunde Daliang.

At that time, Long Yuanxi repeatedly hoped to keep the group training, because he did not give up on his career, so when Fang Shan found him, he was not like an ordinary old master who avoided suspicion and was afraid of causing trouble, but was very active in helping Fang Shan plan.

At the invitation of Long Yuanxi, another group of old masters came, and everyone formulated the charter, and things were done one by one, they thought that the most important thing was to set the name of the country, but on this issue, the opinions could not be unanimous.

The country names of the Chinese dynasties are not arbitrary, but have certain principles, all pay attention to a inheritance relationship, from the Spring and Autumn Period, this tradition has lasted for a long time, such as the Qin Dynasty that unified the world, originally Zhou Tianzi was the earl, the name is Qin, so the history books call the king of Qin Bo, after the Qin State unified the world, it was naturally the Qin Dynasty.

The second unified dynasty, Liu Bang's Han King was sealed by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and it is also retroactive. After the Wei and Jin dynasties, Cao Wei was the puppet Han Xian Emperor Wei Guogong, and Sima Jia was the Jin King of Wei Guofeng; Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, and he was also the first Suiguo Duke of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to be sealed; Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty was the Duke of Tang of the Sui Dynasty; Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty was the envoy of the Song Dynasty.

This official lasted for more than 2,000 years, and was broken in the hands of the Mongols, who first did not agree with this habit of the Han people, and secondly, they really could not find any basis, and the Song Dynasty did not seal the Mongols as any officials. After Mongolia broke the convention, it came back to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang first called the king of Wu, and later controlled the king of Xiaoming, Han Lin'er, the reason why the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the people at that time thought that it was "the name of the country, the name of Chenglin'er Xiao Ming".

In the Qing Dynasty, this convention was broken again, and the Manchu rulers were also looking for their own inheritance, they were the same as the Mongols, they had no foundation, Nurhachi was "Jin" in the era, known as the successor of the Jin Dynasty in the Song and Jin periods, and in the Huang Taiji era, he directly set a "Qing" country name, no one knows what the reason, and no one knows what the source.

The old masters, think that the current Zhu Jinglun should also follow this principle of inheritance, Zhu Jinglun's official is sealed by the Qing court, and the official position is "Guangzhao Luo Daotai", so it should imitate the old calendar of the Song Dynasty, and the word "Guang" is a good year, but "Daguangguo" makes people listen to it awkwardly.

The Song character of the Song Dynasty is the name of the country in ancient times, which can be traced back to Zhou Tianzi, and it is also one of the reasons why the Song Dynasty is called Song, although the Ming Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty is not very basic, but when the emperors of the Ming Dynasty divided the kings, they were all divided into the names of ancient countries such as Zhou, Qin, and Shu, and they had never heard of a "Daguang country", how to listen to it like the name of the peasant uprising, and what Daxi country, Dashun country, Dahong country, Dacheng country is a virtue, it is really not in line with the aesthetics of the old masters.

Some people say that it is better to use the place name, Songzhou Jiedu is an official name, Songzhou is a fate, the Duke of Tang is a title, Tang itself represents the place, Zhu Yuanzhang was the king of Wu at the beginning, because he was called the king of Wu, since Emperor Zhu (Jinglun) was established in Guangdong, it is better to call Yue.

The people of Guangdong did not have much cultural pride in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and everything must mention the Central Plains, but it was not the era when Cantonese songs were rampant in later generations, so the conservative old master still felt that the name was not good, and the Cantonese country had no foundation when he heard it.

Speaking of the foundation, some people have pointed out that there were also ancient kingdoms in the history of Guangdong, such as the Nanyue Kingdom, which can be traced back to the Qin general Zhao Tuo, and the Southern Han Kingdom, which can be traced back to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

The words "Yue" and "Han" are very good, but the national fortunes of Nanyue and Nanhan are not very good, Zhao Tuo died, Nanyue was quickly destroyed by Emperor Wu of Han, and the Southern Han was even more filthy, and it was the only country in Chinese history where all the ministers were eunuchs.

Compared with "Vietnam" in the end, it is better, although some people think that it is against Vietnam, and most people can still accept it.

Some other people proposed that Emperor Zhu's surname was Zhu, so why not call it "Ming", pretending to be the continuation of the Ming Dynasty, which is more popular with the people.

In the Qing Dynasty, any rebellion would inevitably be carried out under the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and this banner had a great influence among the people.

Therefore, some old masters believe that calling the Ming Dynasty will help stabilize people's hearts, even if it is a country, just like Zhu Yuanzhang called King Wu, isn't it also to stabilize the hearts of the people in the old Wu region ruled at that time.

So after arguing for more than ten days, the two country names of "Yue" and "Ming" were placed in front of Zhu Jinglun, these two country names, Zhu Jinglun didn't feel anything, he still wanted to call "China", this is the atmosphere, but in fact it can't be done, before the reunification of China, he called himself China, and there is a suspicion of being crowned by a monkey.

"Which one do the people prefer?"

Zhu Jinglun asked, Fang Shan and Long Yuanxi said in unison: "Da Ming! ”

Zhu Jinglun nodded, the country name has to be accepted by everyone, but it has to go through a procedure.

"In this way, invite the famous gentry of the whole province to come to Guangzhou to discuss the state of the country, and let the gentry choose the country name."

Last time, because of the problem of the imperial examination, the gentry of the whole province have acted once, Zhu Jinglun thinks that it is a very good precedent, everything is discussed, even if it is just some gentry, not the whole people, but it also means the sinking of power, Britain is not also the first to start with the aristocracy to equal power, and finally to penetrate the common people, this is a natural process, like the flow of water penetrates, directly give everyone equal power, that is looking for death, uneducated people, can not take responsibility, can only become populism, just like Argentina.

Zhu Jinglun's subordinates all understand that Zhu Jinglun seems to like to discuss things with others, and they also like it, which means that Zhu Jinglun, the emperor, will not be autocratic, and at worst he can do the Song Dynasty emperor's "rule the world with scholars", which means that the status of the gentry has been greatly improved.

Because of the experience of the last joint petition, this time the gentry came to Guangzhou very smoothly, but the number was not large, the entire Guangdong Province, Zhu Jinglun sent down thousands of invitations, all a little famous, what people, jinshi, and even the local squires who have done good deeds for generations, all sent invitations to invite, inviting them to come to discuss the country, but only about 100 came.

These gentry who came and those who did not come were in a very complicated mood, some of them were happy to go, wanting to seek a status for themselves in the new dynasty, but most of them still took the invitation and did not dare not come; It's funny to say that most of the squires who didn't come didn't dare to come. In short, because one didn't dare, some people came, and some people didn't come, and the same reason caused different results.

In addition to the issue of the country name, the issue of etiquette is complicated, and the preparation for the founding of the country, unless it is Li Zicheng's kind of person who plans to run, will generally prepare for a long time, and even conduct many rehearsals and rehearsals, and it is necessary to gather the courtiers to practice kowtowing.

Not only does it take time to do procedural problems, but it also takes time to make all kinds of ceremonial utensils, just a serious dragon robe can't be made in less than half a year, and the kind of complex fabric woven by an in-house flower machine can be woven a few centimeters a day.

Anyway, Zhu Jinglun is not in a hurry, Fang Shan is more like getting better, as if the etiquette is done well, the country's foundation will be deeper, but military problems wait for no one.

After the battle with Jiang Yili, although the sailor suffered heavy losses, it was equivalent to experiencing a baptism, and this army was completely reborn and had the spirit of the army.

The level of training has also been greatly improved, of course, compared with the Royal Navy of the British, but it can also walk sideways in East Asia.

The navy is always expanding, and like the army, manpower has never been a problem, the biggest problem is officers, and through this fierce battle, many officers have matured, and a large number of officers have been promoted.

The figure is the same as cell division, 20 gunboats have become 50 gunboats, and there are still 50 gunboats that have not been delivered, but these 50 ships can already compete with the Yangtze River Naval Division of the Hunan Army, and when all the gunboats are put into service, they can compete with the Hunan Army for the right to control the river and completely drive the Hunan Army out of the Yangtze River.

Those large warships, such as the 5,000-ton giant ship named Guangzhou, used as the flagship, and two 3,000-ton and 4 thousand-ton warships, were delivered as early as last year, and the officers and sailors have been trained for half a year, and now they have the strength of the First World War, but there is still no time to form a real combat effectiveness.

A total of 57 warships, large and small, have been engaged in intense training for more than a month, except for rest and recuperation, and have repeatedly carried out three long-distance training sessions from Guangzhou to Hainan Island and from Hainan Island to Chaozhou, bringing Hainan Island into their rule, and also conducting many simulated exercises on the Pearl River, sinking countless dilapidated fishing boats.

On May 1, 1864, the twenty-sixth day of March in the third year of Tongzhi in the lunar calendar, the whole fleet headed north.

Before sending troops, a note had been submitted to the ministers of various countries in Hong Kong, and this time it was already possible to notify the countries in the name of the Ming Dynasty, because just two hours before the note was sent, the squires chose "Ming" as the name of the country, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could send a notice to the countries in the name of the Ming Dynasty, although the countries have not yet recognized it, but only as a memorandum to transmit information, they can still accept it.

Zhu Jinglun did not value the attitude of the foreigners, he only told the foreigners that from now on, the Ming and Qing governments were in a state of war, and all countries were required to remain neutral in accordance with the public law of all nations and not to intervene in the war.

What Zhu Jinglun values more is that the soldiers who went out on the expedition finally knew that they were fighting for that banner, and it can be seen that most of the soldiers from the bottom are accustomed to hearing the legends of all kinds of heroes in the rivers and lakes, and they are very satisfied with the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, which is the most important thing.
