Chapter IX The Republic of the Ming Dynasty
In the world of great contention, if you don't fight, you will die! The world situation in 1790 was like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was extremely chaotic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoSince the beginning of the Age of Discovery, Portugal, a small country on the Iberian Peninsula, it has become a world hegemon on the seas. Subsequently, Spain and the Netherlands succeeded each other, successively replacing the position of maritime hegemon.
But now, these old maritime empires are dying and weakened, giving way to a new hegemon, Britain. In particular, the development of the first industrial revolution made Britain's national strength flourish and accelerated the distance between it and the rest of the world.
Although on the North American continent, the independence of the United States brought great frustration to Britain. But that didn't hurt Britain. In Asia, Britain's deep control over India has further strengthened its power.
And this is the current state of the world!
At the video conference, Yang Chong gave a full introduction to the current world situation. In particular, it is mentioned that on the Australian continent where they are now located, there have been British. As recently as 1778, the first British prisoners set foot in Sydney.
Zhao Teng, along with many people, crowded in front of the TV. Just like in the past, when the TV first came out, many people were huddled together, sitting far away, and they couldn't see the picture on the TV clearly.
Fortunately, the audience was silent at this time, and Zhao Teng could still hear Uncle Yang's speech clearly on TV. But what bothered him was that Uncle Yang's words were so profound that he didn't quite understand the meaning of the words. It's just that when Uncle Yang's voice gets louder and louder, he can clearly feel the mood swings of his parents and his parents. He looked around and saw that all the uncles and aunts were like his parents, their eyes moistened, and the expressions on their faces became more and more elevated.
Infected by it, he was patient and listened carefully. After all, he is a little hero praised by Uncle Yang!
In the meantime, look at the entire camp. Except for the security guards on duty, everyone else gathered together in front of the TV and listened to the speech of Yang Chong, chairman of the Supreme People's Committee.
When Yang Chong shouted with a serious face: "I announce! The Republic of Daming was founded! āć The audience applauded thunderously, and cheers came one after another. Charlie and the others, who were waiting at sea, also heard the cheers on the other side of the woods. Thus the look is different!
July 2, 1790, is a day to remember. A Ming Republic with only more than 3,000 people was founded! The name of the country was decided after soliciting everyone's opinions and after collective discussion by the members of the Eighth National Congress.
In fact, initially, the 'Ming Republic' was not well received by the commissioners. It's just that Nanfeng mentioned one point, that is, to win people's hearts. Because China in 1790 was still under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the afterglow of the Kangqian era was still exerting its last residual heat. So many people still have foolish loyalty to the Qing Dynasty!
And these modern people want to gain a foothold in this world and lead the sons and daughters of China to change history. Then you have to rob people with the Manchus! Rob those Chinese of the same language and species.
After all, there are too few of them. More than 3,000 people, let alone fighting for hegemony, it would be best if they could survive. When the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the Ming Dynasty was the last Han dynasty. Using the word Daming, at least it can reduce the rejection of the Han people from the Ming Republic.
In particular, Nanyang also has the headquarters of the Heaven and Earth Society, which shows that the heart of the Han people has never been broken. Although some people have also raised the question of whether the use of the Ming Dynasty will cause people with intentions to compete for power and profit. For example, the descendants of the Zhu family! But everyone present at the time laughed! After the committee member asked this sentence, he immediately reacted and laughed with everyone.
Joke! When the Manchus entered the Central Plains, the surname Zhu had already been killed. Even if someone has a heart to impostor him, there is no emperor in the Ming Republic. And the committee members present are not dry meals, like this Xiao Xiao, as long as he dares to jump out, he will definitely die an ugly death.
After that, Yang Chong served as the first president of the Ming Republic. The security group was renamed the People's Army, and Liu Weiguo served as the first general. Then the cabinet was formed, with Nam Feng as the first prime minister, leading the cabinet and being accountable to the president.
Subsequently, various state departments were formed. In this way, more than 3,000 people are all officials. An uncle who farmed fish in modern times also became the Minister of Fisheries. Even Zhao Teng's children have also installed a president of the Children's Care Association and have become a veritable child king.
The effect of this kind of heart-to-heart is very effective, it is obvious that everyone has more energy when they work, and everyone is actively contributing to the construction of the Ming Republic, eager to create a prosperous Ming country through their own hands.
Of course, there are also some people who fish in troubled waters, are dissatisfied with the status quo and are cautious. But this is a minority, after all. Especially when the country was first established and was poor and white, no one dared to show it. Because they can only rely on modern people who are also crossing over, only in this way can they live better and strive for more benefits. So I can't show any caution now.
Otherwise, once it is noticed by the top leaders, it will be dangerous! After all, in this wild Australian continent, it is not illegal to kill people!
For this reason, President Yang rarely ordered a movie to be shown to celebrate the founding of the Ming Republic.
You know, since they've been here, power has been at a premium. Although the generator was removed from the airplane high-speed rail, the oil was limited. Although they also know that the Australian continent is rich in resources, it also has oil buried in it. But they don't know the exact point of oil, and they don't have the tools to extract it.
Therefore, having a generator without oil is also like catching blindness.
At this time, the movie was Stephen Chow's "Mermaid", although almost everyone here had seen it, but at this moment, everyone still watched it with relish. Even in rudimentary conditions, the TV is small, and many people can only hear sound. But everyone's face showed a deep sense of satisfaction.
Because in the past few decades, they have almost no contact with the modern way of life. For the first two days, I could touch my phone, but now I have nowhere to charge it, and it has become an iron lump. At night, it can only be lit by torches, and it is simply a return to the primitive society.
It's maddening for those who are used to the modern conveniences of lifestyle. That's why people are so keen on movies on TV. In a word, what they watch is not a movie, but a past that is gradually moving away.
From now on, they must adapt to the social environment of 1790, say goodbye to the modern society that was once materially abundant, and have to endure a rudimentary way of life.
Fortunately, President Yang Da made a promise to lead everyone out of this difficult period as soon as possible. I don't want to recreate the living environment of modern society, but I will try to make everyone's life better. At least, let everyone reach the standard of living of the second industrial revolution.
For this goal, for a better tomorrow, everyone is working hard for the newly-born Daming Republic.
And in the presidential palace, it is actually the former people's commune government, that is, the big wooden house.
Yang Chongzheng and the senior officials of the new regime discussed the future direction of development! There were nine people present, except for the newly joined People's Army general Liu Weiguo, the other eight were all former members of the Eighth National Congress. For them, it's just a title.
The first thing to discuss is the way forward!
Now that it was determined that Australia was in 1790, the most critical question was how to develop it. Liu Weiguo proposed to grab the land early, but few responded. After all, Australia is so big, and the three thousand of them spilled out, and they didn't even bubble.
So Liu Weiguo had no choice but to stop fighting!
After that, the discussion lasted for a long time, and everyone joined in, discussing their ideas loudly. Some people say that the current territory is built, some people say that the indigenous population is assimilated, some people propose to conduct commercial trade with other countries in the world, and even more propose to go to Beijing to pull Qianlong Lao'er off the dragon chair and send him to the Western Bliss.
When such a rude way was said, everyone fell silent. The audience focused on Zhang Xiao, and said suspiciously, usually seeing Zhang Xiao silent, like a stuffy gourd. I didn't expect to be able to say such bloody words.
"Hehehe! Comrade Zhang. I can understand your enthusiasm for serving the country, and I also welcome your active speech and suggestions for future development. But the next time you speak, can you consider reality? Yang Chong reminded kindly and friendly.
After all, there is not even a boat now, how can I go to Qingguo. With just a few kayaks, can you still sail across the ocean? I'm afraid that before I go to sea, I will be overturned by a big wave. Although they have two large airliners, they can't fly either! One has no runway and the other has no gas! What's more! All the useful things in the plane have been dismantled, and now all that is left is an empty shell.
Liu Weiguo, who was beside him, also glanced at Zhang Xiao meaningfully, and sighed: "Brother! I can't imagine that you are hotter than me! āć
After such an episode, everyone's discussion began to be more and more in line with reality.
Finally, Nan Feng interrupted everyone's words and said in a deep voice: "Everyone! I don't know if you have noticed. All plans have one of the most critical premises! āć
The others immediately looked at Nanfeng, thinking about his words.
After waiting for a while, Nanfeng was about to bring it up himself. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiao stood up abruptly and said loudly: "I know!" Population! āć
The people present suddenly realized.
Oh, yes! Occupying territory, doing trade, and seeking development are all inseparable from people. Although in modern society, a large population is a burden. However, at present, population is an important foundation for national development and an important symbol of the country's overall national strength.
Isn't this the so-called more people easier to do? In the twentieth century, the Soviet Union's economic strength was too small compared to that of the United States. However, with the strength of the whole country, they have produced all kinds of strategic weapons. Militarily, the United States is jealous. Take the current China as an example, if it were not for the large number of people, how could it take 30 years to complete the road that Western countries took a hundred years to complete.
That's the advantage, that's the living example!
So everyone's attention shifted to the population. Just how? It has become a real problem in front of everyone.
Just then, the secretary of the presidential palace suddenly came in through the door.
Facing Yang Chong's inquiring eyes, he said loudly: "Report to the president, the Dutch suddenly rushed down from the boat, and it seems that there is an emergency."
