At present, Feng Yunshan set the name of the new dynasty as Taisheng, which means to commemorate the meaning of the Taiping Holy Kingdom, and set the year 1854 as the first year of Taisheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Then, Feng Yunshan announced an amnesty for the world, and all Han and Miao people, except for the crime of killing their heads, the rest will be reduced by one level and given a light punishment.

However, Huang Yukun, Minister of Justice, understands that it is said to be an amnesty for the world, but in fact, there are hardly many criminals in the original holy country, except for some local tyrants and inferior gentry who were captured by the soldiers of the captive army, and some Qing soldiers and local bureaucrats, and these bureaucrats, who have committed serious crimes, have already killed a group, but not serious, but a group that they originally wanted to let go.

Feng Yunshan then declared: "This time I ascended the throne, things were urgent, and it is a pity that many of the old departments of the original holy country did not have time to participate. I thought, when all the places are pacified, I will work with all the Aiqing to hold a founding ceremony and celebrate it together. ”

The crowd shouted in unison, "Long live the wise! ”

Seeing that everyone agreed, Feng Yunshan said loudly: "The new dynasty I established is called the Chinese Empire, which is different from the Taiping Holy Kingdom in the past, so it can be regarded as a new country. Originally, some of the Holy Kingdom were set up temporarily, not very perfect, and now because there are still many wars, I can't take care of them, but before the founding ceremony, I want to improve them. These still need the efforts of Zhong Aiqing and others. ”

The crowd hurried to comply.

Feng Yunshan thought of the establishment of a new dynasty, and some necessary things to unite the people's hearts were still needed. And among them, the most important is the concept of the state and the concept of the nation!

He planned to arrange for the "Nanfang Daily" in Guangzhou to carry out a special report to publicize his new dynasty and urge the Manchu officials and generals in those places to submit to the Chinese Empire as soon as possible.

"Zhong Aiqing can know that in today's era, there are many powerful countries in the world. Those Western countries do not have a large land area and population, but they are strong. For example, the English Empire is slightly larger than the Guangdong Province, and its population is not much different, but it occupies one-fifth of the world's land and is the world's largest power! With 30,000 troops alone, he ruled over India, a population of more than 200 million. This shows the strength of its army. In that war more than 10 years ago, the British only sent more than 10,000 land and water soldiers, and they raged all the way from Guangzhou to conquer Zhenjiang. ”

These are due to the development of the national strength of foreigners. This is exactly what this king wants to do. Introduce Western learning, open education, enhance people's intelligence, develop industry, and enhance national strength. For this reason, the king is determined to emulate the Western countries and implement a unique monarchy. We will organize people and others to compile a grand "Code of Laws of the Chinese Empire", which will be promulgated after our approval. This code established the rights and duties of all the people of the empire and served as a code of conduct for all people. Moreover, in this code, I want to stipulate the state system and government of the empire, and stipulate the national capital, the national flag, the national anthem, the national emblem, etc., and all these affairs representing a country, I must determine in the form of a legal code. ”

Feng Yunshan actually started with himself, ending the traditional old-style feudal dynastic state system, and chose to adopt the transitional "dual monarchy".

Although the state also formulated a constitution, that is, the imperial code, and also established a parliament, as a monarch, he still maintained the authority of the feudal absolutist era, combining legislative, executive, judicial and military powers, and was the center of power and the supreme de facto ruler.

And this "Code of the Chinese Empire" is also self-appointed, but it cannot be changed arbitrarily in the future, and must be used as an established standard.

In the future, the empire will also form a parliament, but the parliament is only a staff body of the emperor, and has no actual legislative power, and the emperor not only has the power to veto the legislature of the parliament, but also controls the parliament by appointing or appointing members.

Moreover, Feng Yunshan is ready to set up a cabinet to free himself from heavy government affairs, and all cabinet members are naturally the core of power, but they all rely on their own appointments to decide.

The reason why Feng Yunshan chose this form of government is also to take into account that the wisdom of the people of the country today is not open, and it is indeed not suitable for democracy, and moreover, he and the soldiers of the army who have worked hard to build the country, and he will be stupid to engage in republican democracy, which will only make this great country fall apart and cause trouble. But Feng Yunshan also knew the process of historical development, if he still chose the form of the old feudal dynasty, he was afraid that it would not be a few decades, and he would still be swallowed up by the trend of the world, so he chose to combine the dual monarchy between the two.

In the future, the German Empire and Japan followed this system, and saw that their national strength increased rapidly, and they formed their own nation. And Feng Yunshan's idea is to give birth to the product of the Chinese nation in advance, and naturally, the Chinese nationality is dominated by Han people.

On the morning of the second day after Feng Yunshan ascended the throne, Feng Yunshan was awakened by Liu Shengbang with sleepy eyes, and when he opened his eyes, it was already the hour, and he knew that Liu Shengbang had awakened himself, and there must be something important.

Last night, Feng Yunshan slept in the apse of the Heart Raising Hall in the Forbidden City for the first time, although An Dehai and other eunuchs had replaced all the mats and bedding on the dragon couch with new ones, but Feng Yunshan always felt a little awkward, especially the dragon couch was actually an unknown wooden bed made of precious gold, and his back hurt from sleeping, and he began to miss Simmons, which he specially asked craftsmen to process in the Holy King's Mansion in Guangzhou.

"Long live, happy event!" Liu Shengbang reported. Feng Yunshan's personal scribe Wang Minyun was not there, and Liu Shengbang became the messenger.

Gao Xiangyun, the magistrate of Fangshan, and Xie Weixun, the magistrate of Liangxiang, sent people to send them to the new dynasty, leading the squires and officials of Fangshan and Liangxiang counties to surrender to the new dynasty, saying that they had captured more than 300 deserters from the full banner who had fled to the two counties. Prepare to be escorted into Beijing and offer prisoners to you. Liu Shengbang took out a copy of the report from his arms and handed it to Feng Yunshan.

Feng Yunshan was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly that on the second day after he ascended the throne, Manchu officials came to join him, which was indeed a great joy. However, in order to prevent assassination or other accidents, it was not necessary to enter Beijing to offer prisoners, so they were kept in place and waited for the soldiers of the captive army to go and receive the prisoners.

Now that the city of Beijing has been conquered, it is not appropriate for tens of thousands of soldiers to be captured in the capital. Feng Yunshan knew that the Manchu Qing Dynasty's troops were almost wiped out this time, and it was almost impossible to regroup and recover Beijing City.

"Order Lu Shunde to lead the two marine regiments of the 10th Division to the two counties to receive the garrison." Feng Yunshan ordered.

He thought not only of these two places, but also of the entire Shuntian Mansion, and even, the entire Zhili region. At this time, he felt that he had too few troops on hand. In this era when transportation is extremely underdeveloped, it is very difficult to implement the policy of elite troops, and the necessary number of troops is still needed.

I don't know what happened to the other captive armies. The last news he received was when he arrived at Shanghi Wusongkou to pick up Chen Tianshi's soldiers of the Eighth Division, and the news he learned at that time was that tens of thousands of troops had besieged Wuchang City on the middle road, and on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal on the East Road, tens of thousands of troops of the 3rd and 6th Divisions and the 1st Division led by the Shi brothers had conquered Danyang and Zhenjiang and were attacking Yangzhou Fucheng.

Feng Yunshan was thinking about it, and the eunuch An Dehai said: "Long live, the left deputy chief of the general staff will meet you." ”

Feng Yunshan led Liu Shengbang, accompanied by several palace guards, out of the apse, and saw Zuo Zongtang kneeling in front of the door and shouting: "Weichen Zuo Zongtang greets my emperor, long live!" ”

Feng Yunshan hurriedly stepped forward to help Zuo Zongtang, frowned and said, "Ji Gao, I'm really a little unaccustomed to this." In the future, if you are not above the court, there is no need to make such a formal fanfare, you can report it directly if you have something, don't engage in so many false courtesies. If I worship too much in the future, I may not know how much I will be scolded in my heart, and besides, I am worried that I will not even be able to hear in the future. ”

Feng Yunshan's words made the little eunuch next to him An Dehai stunned, this emperor of the Chinese Empire is really different from the original Manchu emperor Xianfeng.

Zuo Zongtang was also moved in his heart, even if Feng Yunshan ascended the throne and became an emperor, he treated himself as if he were a cronie before, and he couldn't help but be moved. However, first report the good news to Banzai: "Long live, Fan Ruzeng of the Special Service Department sent someone to send a secret report, and the war in the south has been victorious!" ”
