Revising the treaty is not a trivial matter, it is related to the future living environment of the country, and even the pattern of the world, therefore, Luo Yang convened a group of officials to discuss things,

For the time being, the city of Beijing is still in the atmosphere after the victory of the revolution, but for all kinds of people, it has different meanings, almost all the famous figures, the generals of the Taiping Tian**, the generals of the former Qing army, political figures, and diplomatic figures, gathered together in Beijing City.

He did not choose any palace in the Forbidden City, but the Prime Minister's Yamen in the Imperial City, where a meeting was held, firstly, it was aimed at foreign affairs, and secondly, it was also to deliberately dilute the thoughts of the homeland of a large number of Qing Dynasty officials and others.

As soon as they entered the room, all the officials were stunned, because, this posture is rare,

"King Rui, isn't there something wrong with this table?" Zhang Suimou said,

The officials gathered together, in this big room, are very embarrassed, some are friends, some are enemies, some are still life and death hatred, and some are not willing to come at all, it is completely Luo Yang who oppressed the Qing Emperor, and forced them to come with the safety of the Qing Emperor and all the Manchu magnates as a threat, as for Zhang Suimou and others, they arrived quickly from Sichuan and other places.

"What's wrong."

"King Rui, you should sit in the middle, we are in two columns, but look at this."

The table is oblong, and Luo Yang is in front, but anyone who looks at it feels awkward.

"Hmm." Luo Yang invited everyone to sit down, "Ladies and gentlemen, today, we are rarely gathered together, a few months ago, we still have enemies, but now, we are already friends, we are officials of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, it is not easy, I first explain that we are here, not to talk about Fengyue, not to talk about grievances, only to talk about state affairs, the first question is, the placement of the table, because we Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, the implementation of the republic system, democratic centralism, so, try to reflect fairness and democracy, don't be surprised, This is true for all subsequent forms of meetings. ”

Of course, everyone is very fresh, China implements a republican system, what is a republic, what is a republic, has caused many people to speculate, however, the proposal of this national system has made many people respect Luo Yang, because, such an authoritative person actually gave up the opportunity to be an emperor,

The meeting was almost about to change the topic, but Luo Yang pulled it back, "_What we want to discuss is how to deal with the international relations of the Western powers, mainly against international treaties. ”

Luo Yang faced so many historical celebrities, but he did not retreat a little fearfully, these people, either conquered by him with his ability, or defeated militarily, none of them were his opponents, especially several giants of the Hunan Army and the Huai Army, actually sat on their flanks in a regular manner, this taste, very proud, he told the situation he knew, China's international status and strength, the gap between China and the West, how China should deal with its relations with the West,

"Sir, what this king means is that we in China, the Kingdom of Heaven, should be self-reliant, work hard, and develop our economy, science and technology, especially science and technology, our science and technology are lagging behind a lot, and we must quickly catch up, with science and technology as the core of the economy, we are also a lot worse, our industry is very weak, and there is almost no modern large machine industry, so we must vigorously develop, how to develop, the most direct is the country, the king is most happy is that our country has a foundation, in the future, It will be up to the state to come forward, invest vigorously, buy machinery, set up some factories, invest money, imitate research, and develop science and technology, which is the most fundamental, and only when you develop and progress yourself, you will never be afraid of others. ”

As soon as the economy is mentioned, as soon as science and technology are mentioned, in the thinking realm of these late Qing Dynasty characters, they are strongly shocked, Luo Yang's vocabulary, language, and way of describing it, they were greatly surprised, many times, they even directly interrupted Luo Yang's words, asking what a word means, while also some brushes, on the paper to write, originally, many people, especially those high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty, think that Luo Yang is a bandit, open his mouth to kill and stab the goods, unexpectedly, he understands the world situation, and even predicts, To the point of outrageousness,

"Relying on our own strength, rapid development and progress, and at the same time, in accordance with the treaty, gradual amendments, so that our country can shake off the shame of losing its teachers and land, and restore it to a brand-new independent country, we must catch up, become a great country capable of assuming international responsibilities, correct international relations under the jungle principle, resolutely defend national interests and national dignity, and at the same time, protect the security of the people of neighboring countries and regions."

After the speech, Luo Yang instructed everyone to talk about their views on international relations, and asked that no matter who it is, they must explain it, and if you don't talk about it, you can't do it, but you can choose the topic at will, anyway, Luo Yang is a test of the waters, depending on the extent of everyone's diplomatic thoughts.

Because Luo Yang has spoken first, most of these people can go out according to the meaning, but there are also some people who have exposed their ignorance of the international background, for example, the former Qing court's cabinet college student Wu Ren, etc., advocate the exclusion of any foreign interference, resolutely advocate the rule of China with China, oppose all ideas and culture of foreign interference, and also demand the expulsion of foreign missionaries in China, Li Hongzhang and others, who did not want to say it, seeing Luo Yang so refreshing, and asking people gently and sincerely, and knowledgeable, he couldn't help but speak, he thought, China should focus on peace, because the war in the country has just subsided, and all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, and only by appeasing the outside world and seizing a chance to breathe can it rapidly develop its economy and rebuild its political life.

Luo Yang repeatedly invited everyone to share his own views, because he wanted to understand everyone's true thoughts, he promised that he would never have prejudices because of this, and he also wanted to listen to both, "Know everything, those who say it are not guilty, this king implements a principle of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, when discussing issues at the meeting, any words, as long as you really think, can be raised, we are just academic discussions, not political issues." ”

Under Luo Yang's instigation, more people told their views, and most of them advocated that they should temporarily reconcile with the outside world and not provoke.

There are also hardliners, such as Zuo Zongtang and Peng Yulin, several generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who advocate using the current strong force of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom to quickly regain the country's rights and interests from the hands of the foreign powers.

"Very good, you are really talented, Luo Yang has been taught." Combined with everyone's ideas, Luo Yang confirmed the basic principles: "Ladies and gentlemen, the diplomatic thinking of our Chinese Heavenly Kingdom is to implement the five principles of peaceful coexistence, implement independent and self-determined peaceful diplomacy, treat all countries in the world with the greatest goodwill, treat people on an equal footing, compete on an equal footing, and actively use the international situation and conditions to develop our country, we uphold the good nature of the Chinese nation, but we must also resolutely safeguard world peace, any person, a country, dare to provoke, threaten and insult us, We must resolutely crack down on the damage to our national interests and national dignity, so this king summed up our country's diplomatic strategy as a friend, turn the other face into an enemy, accompany a smiling face, and wield a big knife. ”
