October 25, 1862.

Feng Yunshan, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, who had not appeared in public for a week, finally appeared in the court, and as soon as he came to the court, he directly issued an order announcing the crime of Pan Wentao, vice minister of commerce, for colluding with Western Russia to carry out rebellion, and he was sentenced to be executed on the spot, and sentenced to confiscate all the property of all the Pan family and exile all the Pan family.

At the same time, Wu Chongyao, the former minister of commerce and the current governor of Guangdong, who recommended Pan Wentao, was ordered to reflect on himself, fined him for one year and re-transferred to the post of minister of commerce, and the post of governor of Guangdong was taken over by Hong Renji, who had been promoted to the prefect of Guangzhou.

As for several directors and deacons under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce who are close to Pan Wentao, they were all dismissed and investigated, and the entire Ministry of Commerce was cleaned up and rectified. In addition, the Ministry of Supervision has also asked the Ministry of Supervision to carefully screen all cabinet ministries and provinces, and cut out all officials who collude with the West and have too close a past.

Against this background, in the following period of time, the Ministry of Supervision launched a three-anti campaign of "anti-corruption, anti-collusion with foreigners, and anti-disloyalty to the empire", preparing to purge a group of officials with impure motives, disloyal to the emperor and disloyal to the empire.

A few days later, the two brothers, Cheng Wucai, the national abbot and adviser to the Ministry of Supervision, and Cheng Huancai, the vice minister of the Ministry of Education, officially returned to their hometowns with the approval of the imperial court.

Soon after, after a period of preparation, on November 18, 1862, Emperor Feng Yunshan officially announced that the second prince Feng Huishi was appointed as the crown prince, and at the same time, the emperor's eldest son Feng Huifang was named the benevolent king, and the third prince Feng Huihan was the king of rites.

Suddenly, the world shook, and the governors of the provinces, the governors of the frontiers and overseas lands, and the vassal states came to congratulate them, and the entire Chinese empire was plunged into a sea of celebration.

I have to say that in this land of China, the people still have a mind, just recognize this national capital, "establish the heir, respect the national capital", the emperor's edict, suddenly the government and the opposition sensational, the entire Chinese Empire people are at ease, the people are elated, feel that the emperor has a successor, and their own happy life is suddenly guaranteed.

For Feng Yunshan, it was after this assassination incident that reminded him that since he came to this era, he had to act according to the minds of the people in this era, fix the country's foundation, even if he encountered assassinations and other incidents, he could not shake the foundation of the Chinese Empire. Moreover, the most important thing is that it will be difficult for the Tsarist side to attack Feng Huangfang's idea. Another point is that the ministers in the court do not need to intrigue anymore, or think about which prince to support to ascend to the crown prince, and completely make those possible careerists die.

And not long after the establishment of the crown prince, several major events occurred in the Chinese Empire.

First of all, the telegraph line from Yangon to Kunming in Yunnan Province via Burma was opened, and the telegraph line from Kunming to Guiyang to Chongqing, and then along the Yangtze River through Jingzhou to Yuezhou, Wuchang, Jiujiang, and Anqing, and finally to Shengjing, had already been erected a year ago. This marked the official opening of the telegraph from Yangon to Sentin. The tentacles of the Chinese Empire completely covered Rangoon in South Asia. The return of the Indian Ocean Fleet base to Yangon, coupled with the immediate command of Shengjing, completely occupied the Indian Ocean by the naval forces of the Chinese Empire.

Second, the Chinese Empire's inland waterway transportation and railways ushered in great development.

In terms of inland waterways, from the Heilongjiang River basin in the north, to the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the south, as well as the Yangtze River, the Pearl River, the Red River and the Mekong River, their own inland waterway transportation companies have been set up, and thousands of ships travel to and from the inland rivers every day to transport materials to the upstream and downstream of the rivers.

And the most amazing thing is the development of railways. The construction of railways, which had been planned in the first five-year plan of the Chinese Empire, has now been completed.

Four railways built by the Department of Railways, the first Guangdong-straight railway was built as early as three years ago, from the southernmost Guangzhou all the way to the north, across the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, directly to Beijing, this equivalent to the Beijing-Guangzhou line of later generations, to bear the heavy responsibility of north-south traffic, from the beginning, it was built as a double line, dozens of trains every day to the north and south, transporting a large number of passengers and materials, unusually busy.

The second railway, the Suzhou-Zhizhi Railway, has already been completed, not only that, but also extends back and forth, extending from Beijing to Shengjing City in the north, then to Hulunbuir through the Zhelimu League, through Manchuria to the city of Nebuchu, and then to the west, to the city of Beihai on the shore of Lake Baikal. This railway consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but the achievements achieved are also amazing. Through the construction of this railway, nearly 2.4 million migrants were resettled, and along the way to the north, many towns, villages and other resettlement sites have sprung up on both sides of the railway.

The third railway is the Jiangsu-Zhejiang railway from Shanghai to Ningbo, which has been opened to traffic as early as the second half of the fifth year of Taisheng, in recent years, the railway department has further extended this railway, modeled on the coastal high-speed railway of later generations, all the way down the coast, and finally arrived in Fuzhou, and the fourth Jiangxi-Fujian railway in the five-year plan as the main artery in the east-west direction are all connected together, forming a ring network. That is to say, the starting point of the Jiangxi-Fujian Railway is to build a passenger double line from Jingdezhen and Dexing Copper Mine, extend to Wuchang City through Jiujiang, and merge with the Guangdong-Zhizhi Railway, completely connecting the entire railway network to the cities of Wuchang, Fuzhou, Shanghai, Shengjing and Beijing.

In addition to the four railways stipulated in the first five-year plan, subsequent railway plans have also been built and put into operation.

Because most of the previous arteries were north-south, the railway department consciously adjusted the plan for the construction of the railway, focusing on the east-west line. In the past three years, two major east-west railways have been built, and the scale is even more huge, even exceeding the difficulty of building the Guangdong-direct railway.

One is to start from Kaifeng City, the central heavy station of the Guangdong-straight Railway, and go west along the Yellow River, passing through Luoyang, Shaanzhou, Xi'an, Qinzhou, Lanzhou, and Liangzhou City.

The second is some in the south, which also starts from Hengzhou City on the Guangdong-direct railway, and goes all the way to the southwest along the Xiangjiang River, passing through Yongzhou, Guilin, Liuzhou, Nanning to Hanoi.

Although the role of these two railways was not as great as the four railways built in the first five-year plan, the political and military significance of these two railways to the Chinese Empire was even greater. Through the extension of the western railway, the field corps of the Chinese Empire could quickly reach Lanzhou, Hanoi, and other western regions in just a few days, and for the first time, the central power in the land of China was able to quickly grasp the intelligence of the border areas and respond quickly in such a short period of time. In this way, it is almost impossible for peasant uprisings in remote areas such as those of the previous dynasties to succeed.
