Chapter 377: Strange Americans
Quickly drew up the basic leadership of the country's administration and military, appointed the chief officer, before the start of diplomacy, in fact, more things are internal affairs, Luo Yang doesn't like things here very much, but he has to re-understand and re-organize,
Because the country has just been established, things are too complicated, and there is no serious preparation, Luo Yang confirmed the basic principles of the country, and then, the selection of personnel to be responsible, in the National Joint Administrative Committee, by their own name, in fact, by Prince Gong to preside, the composition of its personnel, the principle of the three-three system, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom officials accounted for one, the Qing officials accounted for one, the officials of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom accounted for one, and there were a very small number of others, the presiding officer did not have any rights, but was responsible for convening meetings, and, every three months, replaced, to avoid holding power and forming a dictatorship,
The military aspect is the focus, with Huaxia Tian** as the main force of the regular army, the establishment has been carried out, and the various units that have been gathered, including the local surrender of the Qing army, have been confirmed, and finally, they have been organized according to the military region system, intensified training, and improved the awareness and skills of tactics and strategies, etc.
The government of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom also set up a special academy of sciences, put forward several major development plans, prepared talents, and so on.
When the basic government departments set up a frame and entered the formality, Luo Yang immediately entered the real diplomatic vision.
Well, an opportunity has come,
The foreign envoys in Beijing waited for a long time, and then, presenting their credentials to the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, expressing their willingness to negotiate the normalization of relations between the countries,
Luo Yang met with the ministers of these countries,
The establishment of consuls by foreign countries in China was a matter after the Opium War, and the establishment of a minister and stationing in Beijing was stipulated in the "Treaty of Tianjin".
However, before the meeting, many people said that they even cried and shouted to dissuade Luo Yang, asking him not to take such a fancy to foreign devils, just find someone to meet.
Almost all people, especially the big figures of the original Qing court, have too much fear of Luo Yang, thinking that he is a rare famous general through the ages, and he is a star from heaven, and the great powers dare to come again, with the power of Luo Yang, they will definitely be able to defeat them, so they advocate that the counterattack is counted, of course, except for Li Hongzhang, he is afraid of Luo Yang, but he advocates equality,
Li Xiucheng is in Beijing, and although he also advocates receiving foreign ministers, he advocates that these foreign devils are extremely unreliable and should be forcibly expelled.
Luo Yang met with the envoys of the countries, and according to the normal steps, there was no accident, he welcomed him, and also put forward the idea of negotiation.
He also said that because the affairs of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom are extremely numerous, the negotiations on the normalization of relations will be delayed for a while, and I hope you understand.
However, the next question is strange,
Luo Yang found a big problem, after meeting with the legation, an American asked for a meeting with him, and said that there was something particularly important.
The guards of the Imperial City are not vegetarians, and after this guy's repeated requests, without hesitation, he gave him a hard punch in his snow-white Europa-type face, which made him look like a gold star, "Get out." ”
The guy didn't roll, but begged and shouted, hoping to get people's attention,
"Get out, don't get out, Lao Tzu cut off your little chicken, let you go to the palace as a father-in-law, Mara is separated by a pen, our Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, also open foreign meat, and make a Western eunuch 1"
That guy's Chinese is not bad, and he listened to Dong quickly, so he was honest, but if he didn't shout, it didn't mean that he wouldn't make up his mind, he took out something from his pocket and pulled the officer of the guard army to the corner: "This is for you." ”
"What are you going to do?" _The officer of the Guard, a loyal man, fears that imperialism will not die,
"As long as you can report it, let King Rui meet you."
"That can't be."
"Then, otherwise, your secretary of state can come to meet with you, oh, uncle, if you can report it, I still have a lot of thanks, this number." He compared a staggering number, 10,000 oceans,
"We've never seen you so good-natured." The officer, who had won several gold bars from others, was so happy that he couldn't help it, and became patient: "Okay, I'll report it, I don't care if it succeeds or not." ”
"Thank you, uncle." The stiff Chinese words sound particularly pleasant,
The officer took the gold bar, of course, to report, and at the same time, he also submitted the gold bar and other things, suspecting that this guy was a foreign neurotic.
"It's okay, whether it's good or bad, we have to tell our superiors." The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a newly established department, which was first called the Imperial Court and part of the Ministry of Rites in the late Qing Dynasty, and later, it was renamed the Prime Minister's Yamen, and later, after the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, it was changed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs is the newly appointed powerhouse, Zhang Zhidong,
This appointment, very unexpected, it can be said that a few streets were shocked, Zhang Zhidong also resigned for a long time, helpless, Luo Yang's order has been issued, he can only comply, he took office at the beginning, he actively collected intelligence, understand the international situation, now, as soon as I heard that there are Americans asking to see, I know that there must be something, hurry up to welcome,
"Dear Sir, it is a great honor to hear that you are the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, that is, our Secretary of State of the United States." As soon as the Americans came in, they expressed their piety and friendliness,
"You are." Zhang Zhidong asked,
Now, in foreign affairs activities and all internal affairs, it is Luo Yang who comes forward, and all the officials are also bowing, or shaking hands, and there is no longer a 39 ceremony like kneeling and kowtowing, which makes the vast majority of officials feel very convenient and excited, although a few people feel awkward and cry a few times in private, such as conservatives such as Wuren, feel that there is no king and no father, and the world is in chaos, especially the etiquette such as shaking hands, which is completely changed to summer, which is terrible,
Holding Zhang Zhidong's brother's hand, the Americans were so happy that they burst into tears.
"My lord, I'm an American, and I'm here to ask you for something."
"Tell me, don't you loosen your hands first?" Zhang Zhidong felt that he was really relieved of his hatred, in the past, foreign devils saw Chinese officials, and they were all, but now, this is not asking for to come to the door.
Of course, Zhang Zhidong was also slightly embarrassed, because, his braids were gone, after participating in the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, he responded to the call and cut his braids, fortunately wearing a turban wrapped in a turban, but, sweating wildly in his heart,
"Yes, yes, yes."
"You are the Minister of Citigroup, no, it seems that the contemptible impression of your Minister is Mr. Rohr." Zhang Zhidong sensitively said, he has an amazing memory, he only participated in one meeting, and he remembers everyone clearly, in their habits, the United States is called Citigroup.
"I am, I'm real."
"You, are you, that Mr. Rohr a fake."
"No, no, he's not a fake, but I'm the real American minister."
Zhang Zhidong was confused,
"Mr. Secretary." This strange American finally revealed the old truth: "You know, we in the United States are now divided into two countries, Rohr is the minister of the United States of America to the Qing Dynasty, and I am the minister of the Southern Union countries, my name is McTon." ”
