Chapter 642: Yellow Belt

"Really? And such a touching story? ”

Wang Hengyue's voice was very soft.

"Yes, I just heard about it, and I'll tell Heng Shuai right away!"

"It's so good, it's not as good as your own home." Wang Hengyue sighed: "These people have gone through hardships for only one purpose, to go home." There are some things that we have made mistakes and have not noticed these people. ”

Chiang Kai-shek said on the side: "Heng Shuai doesn't have to blame himself, in fact, Heng Shuai has done a good enough, but no one can do everything well." The successful recapture of Vladivostok was the most exciting for the whole country, and Janssen was beginning an operation to regain the 64 tuns in Jiangdong. ”

"Tell Janssen to move faster." Wang Hengyue groaned: "And Wang Qinglu in Nanjing, we can't back down a single step on the Qingdao issue, we must make full use of the current embarrassment of the Japanese and the support of the great powers to take Qingdao back as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!"

Chiang Kai-shek responded, and then said: "Heng Shuai, Beijing is our last battle, this has always been the ancient capital, and it is also the place where countless dynasties have set their capitals, do you want to go to Beijing to see?" ”

"Look, look." Wang Hengyue said without thinking: "Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, wielded his sword to fight against Jiannu here, and the Manchurians have shattered the great rivers and mountains here, you must go and see it!" ”

As a thousand-year-old ancient capital, Beijing is the capital of the five feudal dynasties of Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Beijing City takes the Forbidden City as the center, the central axis is prominent, the left and right are symmetrical, the palace city, the imperial city, the big city are built layer by layer, the front and back of the palace city, the left ancestor and the right society in the imperial city, the nine longitudes and nine latitudes in the big city, and the nine gates of the capital are outside. The royal altar temple is in the south and the north, the sun is in the east and the moon is in the west, which fully highlights the supremacy of imperial power. Beijing's urban design was entirely in the service of feudal politics centered on imperial power, not only on a grand scale, with strict planning, but also strict palace restrictions and strict city defenses.

Since the Republic of China, with the abdication of Emperor Xuantong and the end of the imperial system, the urban nature of Beijing has changed.

After the end of the imperial system, Beijing's city defense lost its political necessity, so the city ban was canceled, and the nine gates were not closed. During the Republican period, the government demolished the walls of the imperial city and the inner city and opened up roads. The Forbidden City demolished the enclosure houses between the east, west and north sides of the palace and the moat, and demolished the buildings between the Shenwu Gate and Jingshan, including the north gate and the east and west gates of the north, opening up the east-west avenue on the north side of the Forbidden City. In 1915, the Imperial City demolished the Thousand Steps Corridor and the East and West Gates in the Zhonghua Gate, and opened up the east and west streets in front of the first place. In 1917, the imperial city south of Dong'anmen was demolished.

After Wang Hengyue took charge of the Chinese regime, he demolished the eastern, western, and northern imperial cities, and opened the south entrance of Nanchizi Street and the south entrance of Nanchang Street on the south wall, opening up the traffic around the imperial city and across the imperial city.

After the abdication of the Qing Emperor, in accordance with the "Preferential Treatment Regulations" still lived in the Forbidden Palace, the following year, the Republic of China government set up the Palace Museum outside the Forbidden City, and opened the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Palace, and the Baohe Palace.

After the second time, Pu Yi was driven out of the Forbidden City by Wang Hengyue. Other parts of the Forbidden City are also open to the public. Since then, the Beijing Imperial Palace has been opened one after another.

With the opening of Jingshan, Zhongnanhai and other places, there is no imperial dynasty and the Son of Heaven, and the sacred and noble royal palaces, gardens, altars and temples in the past are open to ordinary citizens, breaking the supreme royal dignity for thousands of years in form and spirit.

In the Qing Dynasty, the clan family had a noble status, generous treatment, and enjoyed a rich fortune and mansion. The prince of the county is only given a title. There is no "country" to achieve, many princes and nobles remain in the capital hereditary, and the royal palace is also built in Beijing. After the Republic of China, they lost their privileged status and had no money, their situation deteriorated sharply, and soon declined, and the mansions of the palace changed hands one after another into new noble residences, new government offices, and new schools. Prince Rui's Mansion in Shida Hutong was sold to pay off debts; Prince Rui's residence in Haidian was sold to Yenching University; The royal mansion located in Baochao Hutong was sold to a French priest; Jingshan East Street and Princess Jia's Mansion became the campus of Jingshi University Hall; The Yuwang Mansion in Dongdan Sanjo built the Union Medical College; Prince Yi's Mansion, located on Chang'an Avenue, has become the Ministry of Communications and the Beiping Municipal Government

The Qing Dynasty implemented the system of living in separate cities. The banner people lived in the inner city, and the Han people lived in the outer city and outside the outer city. In the big city, no business, no theaters and other entertainment venues are allowed, and there is no industry, commerce and service industry in the city. The banner people do not work, do not farm, do not business, and take money to consume! …,

With the relaxation of the inner city. Breaking the boundaries of the banner people living in separate cities, the composition of the residents has changed greatly, and the banner people have no court money, or they cannot afford to consume due to living difficulties, and gradually move out. In particular, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the establishment of a large number of new schools, as well as the emergence of new commerce, service and handicraft industries, attracted a large number of Han people to move to the inner city to study, teach, do business and serve. With the mixed residence of Shinong and industrial and commercial areas, and the mixed residence of banner people, Beijing is no longer a city of pure politics and pure consumption.

Walking on the streets of Beijing, Wang Hengyue feels very fresh, and it is completely different from Nanjing, Guangzhou and other places.

"Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the great powers have formed an embassy area in Dongjiaomin Lane in front of ** Square, and they have their own policies in the region, influencing and manipulating China's politics and diplomacy. With the infiltration of foreign forces, more and more foreign churches, hospitals, schools, banks, post offices, and barracks have appeared near the embassy area, and Western-style buildings stand side by side, forming an area inhabited by foreigners" Chiang Kai-shek pointed to the surroundings and said: "Beijing is composed of three parts: the Forbidden City, Dongjiaomin Lane and the capital of the Republic of China. ”

Wang Hengyue's face sank.

"Beijing has not just one country within a state, but two countries within a state!" This sentence pierced his heart deeply.

Chiang Kai-shek soon discovered: "Heng Shuai, things have to come step by step, now that Vladivostok has been recovered, Yang Sen is ready to sweep Jiangdong 64 Tun, and the Qingdao issue is also being negotiated, I believe that this phenomenon of a country within a country will soon be eliminated!" ”

"It's rare, it's rare." Wang Hengyue sighed: "Those powers can promise you other things, but this must be based on not involving their interests, but it must involve their fundamental interests, hehe"

He sneered a few times: "Although during this visit to the United States, we have already discussed with the United States the specific time to resolve the concession issue, once the negotiations really start, I am afraid that both sides will be at loggerheads, and no one will back down!" ”

As he walked forward, there was a sudden quarrel in front of him.

A few people came out of the tavern, and suddenly saw a roasted sweet potato seller on the side of the street, and several people walked to the sweet potato stove and shouted: "Is your sweet potato real or fake?" ”

The roasted sweet potato looked up and saw that it was a wine mengzi, so he said angrily: "How can sweet potatoes be fake?" You find a fake one to show me! ”

The man in the lead said, "I think your sweet potato is fake, you take one, I'll take a look." ”

The roasted sweet potato glanced at Minxue and handed over a roasted sweet potato. Min Xue took a bite of the sweet potato, tasted it, it was really a sweet potato, and threw the sweet potato to the ground: "It's really not a good thing!" There was a smell of pickled radish, and it was unpalatable. ”

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave. The seller of roasted sweet potatoes stopped drying, and grabbed Minxue's arm: "You have nothing to pick on the thorns, you don't give money if you eat my sweet potatoes, and you throw them on the ground, you pay my sweet potatoes!" ”

Thinking that person is also used to being rampant and domineering, and now he can't help but be furious when he sees that a man who sells roasted sweet potatoes dares to use that "stinky hand" to grab his "noble" arm on the street. Shouted: "Call me!" ”

He and his companions rushed over, and what they grabbed and beat the roasted sweet potato seller so hard that the roasted sweet potato seller's head was covered with blood, and he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Min Xue was still angry, and smashed the stove for roasting sweet potatoes, and charcoal and objects were all over the street.

There was a circle of people on the side, but no one came up to persuade them.

Wang Hengyue frowned when he saw it, and walked over with Ah Le, Chiang Kai-shek and two guards: "Stop!" ”

The group of people was fighting energetically, and when they saw that someone came to persuade them, the leader immediately crossed his eyes: "*** There are still people who come out to stir up trouble!" ”

Ah Le picked up the roasted sweet potato: "What's your name?" ”

"Listen, I'm startling you, my name is Minzhi, do you see this?"

Wang Hengyue looked at the place where he fingered, a yellow belt was tied around his waist, and he immediately frowned.

Yellow belt is another name for the Qing Dynasty clan, the first year of the Manchu pseudo-Taizong Chongde, the emperor Taiji Zhao, stipulated that the prince's clan below the golden belt to show the dignity and status of the clan.

Yellow belts are royalty, but not all royalty is yellow. According to the regulations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, counting from Nurhachi's father, Takshi, his sons, such as Nurhachi, Shulhaqi, etc., are called clans, also called yellow belts. The descendants of Takshi's elder brother and brother, Uncle Nurhachi, and uncle are called Kyaw Luo, also known as Red Belt. Compared with the yellow belt, the bloodline of the red belt is obviously farther away, so the status, power, and fortune cannot be compared with the yellow belt!

When Qing first entered the customs, there were only a few hundred yellow belts. After several generations of Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties, by the Jiaqing period, there were tens of thousands of yellow belts. The Qing Dynasty stipulated that the official title of the yellow belt was hereditary, but the only one who could take over the title was the eldest son. That is to say, a yellow belt, except for the eldest son, the rest of the sons are idlers. In this case, a special class was born, according to the official saying, this class is called "idle clan", to put it in layman's terms, that is, the idle yellow belt.

As the old saying goes, when you are idle, you have nothing to do. If these idlers are just ordinary people, and there is a law to govern them, they won't make any big trouble. But the one who is so idle is the yellow belt with royal blood on his body, which is a big trouble.

These idleness yellow belts can often be seen on the streets of Beijing. They either held a birdcage in their hands, or a gloomy vulture rested on their shoulders, followed by a group of wolf-like households, shouting and rampaging in the streets.

These people have a well-known mantra: "Tell you, hide, you haven't killed anyone in a few days!" ”
