Chapter 262: The Founding of New China

With the telegram, all countries in the world learned of the signing of the memorandum of the "Beijing Peace Treaty" for the first time, and Britain, the world's first power, and France, the second power, were defeated by the newly-born China, and signed an armistice treaty in disgrace, which immediately shocked the whole world.

"Does the collapse of the world's most powerful navy in East Asia mean that the British Empire is on the decline?" The front page of the British newspaper The Times raised a question.

"The Second French Empire actually spent 12 million francs to ransom its captives, is this still the strongest army in the world?" The Paris Journal also raised doubts.

"Tens of millions of pounds a year in military spending, are they all fed to the dogs?" The German state newspaper was even more merciless in its ridicule, and the recent deterioration of Franco-Prussian relations and Prussian-British relations was vividly displayed at this moment.

The British and French governments were so embarrassed and angry by the media that some government officials immediately ordered the media to be silenced, and at the same time made clarifications, making all kinds of excuses for the reasons for the defeat and deceiving the ignorant people.

As the attitude of the media changed, the ignorant people were soon deceived by the combination of the government and the media, and no longer paid attention to the war in the Far East. Under the deliberate inducement of the media, attention began to turn to Prussia in Europe, accusing Prussia's military growth of endangering the security of the countries of the European continent.

Of course, Prussia will not sit idly by and continue to fight war of words and public opinion with Britain and France, so that people all over the world think that Prussia is preparing to go to war with Britain and France.

However, secretly, Prussia secretly colluded with Britain and France, and Prussian Prime Minister Bismarck separately promised Britain that he would not challenge Britain's maritime supremacy, which was understood by the British government. He offered France a piece of land in Nelteringen if France remained neutral and allowed Prussia to capture Magdeburg, thus successfully deceiving Napoleon III.

As a result, when the Prussian army attacked Magdeburg, Napoleon III did not intervene, so West Prussia, South Prussia, Silesia, Austria and other principalities were disappointed in France.

Of course. This cannot be blamed on Napoleon III, who was tempted to intervene, but did not have enough troops at his disposal.

This is because, despite the fact that France is the hegemon of the European continent, it has a standing military system. The advantage of this military service system is that the troops have been in battle for a long time, and the commanders at all levels are experienced, and they have fought all over Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. However, the French military system does not have two levels of corps and division (except for the Guards) in peacetime, and it is hastily organized in the event of war, so it cannot ensure the proper coordination of troops, which is a major mistake of the French military leadership organ.

In 1865. The French army has a standing force of 570,000 troops, of which 340,000 are front-line combat troops, which can be said to be the elite troops that fight all over the world. However, France was fooled by the British and transferred 150,000 elite troops of the French army to Asia, of which 50,000 were in Cambodia, and the other 100,000 elites fought a decisive battle with Li Weiguo's Nanyang Army in Songhu, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army and more than 40,000 people captured.

As a result, there are only 190,000 front-line combat troops left in mainland France. It also had to be divided into divisions throughout the vast French region.

Prussia, on the other hand, practiced a system of universal conscription, preparing for war, with the North German Federal Army and the Federal Army of the Southern States able to mobilize 1.08 million troops at any given time. Among them, there were 690,000 front-line soldiers, forming an overwhelming advantage over the French army.

This situation eventually forced the French Emperor Napoleon III not to go to war with Prussia easily, so he easily believed Bismarck's words.

Originally, Prussia would have launched the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, but the French army lost in the Far East because of the biggest obstacle. The heavy losses and the fact that there were only 200,000 troops on the mainland and could not intervene made Bismarck even more emboldened. He seized the opportunity and caused the Prussian army to start a war against Austria in advance.

Originally, it should have been a classic seven-week war in history, but because the Prussian army was equipped with more advanced Mauser rifles (Patriotic modification), it easily swept the Austrian army that still used front-loading muskets, just like Li Weiguo's Shanghai army swept 200,000 British and French troops with Patriotic rifles, and the Prussian army defeated 400,000 Austrian troops in only seven days, forcing Austria to admit defeat.

The Seven-Week War became the Seven-Day War, indicating that the butterfly effect brought about by Li Weiguo not only greatly rewrote the course of Asian history, but also rewrote the course of American history, and now directly affects the course of European history.

Because of the emergence of Li Weiguo, this world has finally produced a butterfly effect in an all-round way.

The first was that the Franco-Prussian War broke out five years earlier, Napoleon III asked Bismarck for Neltlingen, but Bismarck did not admit it, and Napoleon III knew that he had been deceived, and immediately became furious and declared war on Prussia.

However, history changed dramatically at this moment, because there were only 200,000 soldiers left in the French mainland, defending all parts of France, and the 90,000 French elites in the Far East had not yet withdrawn, so Napoleon III did not dare to take the initiative to attack Prussia.

In this way, the historical Napoleon III arrogantly led 100,000 French troops to Sedan did not appear, and without the famous Battle of Sedan there would be no Napoleon III and 100,000 French troops captured.

Napoleon III declared war on Prussia and in the end did not take the initiative to send troops, but took a defensive posture. Bismarck was also cautious, knowing that the French were numerous and the army was the strongest in Europe, so he did not dare to attack France easily.

As a result, although the Prussian people declared war on each other, no direct military conflict broke out, and both sides were refraining and probing, trying to win over allies as much as possible.

When the news came back to Beijing, Li Weiguo was also surprised, the Austro-Prussian War only lasted seven days, but the Franco-Prussian War broke out five years ahead of schedule, and the pretending Napoleon III did not go to Sedang, and the outcome of the Franco-Prussian War would become an unknown.

Li Weiguo was not too happy, because for the first time he found that his advantage was his familiarity with historical events, and now not only the history of Asia and the Americas has changed, but even the history of Europe will also change, and the future development will no longer be something that Li Weiguo can meet.

"Since you can't foresee the future, then it's up to you to do your own thing!"

Li Weiguo suddenly found that he himself had become more confident, and he was no longer as afraid and confused about history as he was when he was just reborn.

On January 1, 1866, Li Weiguo wore a crown and a dragon robe, worshiped the emperor at the Temple of Heaven, and named the country China, the capital of Beijing, and the capital of Shanghai. The date name Guanghua adopts the traditional Chinese chronology and lunar calendar, and sets 1866 A.D. as the first year of Guanghua, and the first credible dynasty in Chinese history, the founding year of the Xia Dynasty, as the first year of Jianyuan (2100 BC), and the previous three emperors and five emperors are called XX years before the founding of the Yuan Dynasty.

In this way, the year 1866 of the Western calendar is the year 3966 of the founding of the Chinese calendar, which shows that China is the world's first ancient civilization, and it has a long history for thousands of generations.

In the future, Li Weiguo wants all countries in the world to adopt only the era of the founding of the Chinese calendar. What AD, Russian, Islamic, Mayan calendars are all in harmony (there should be applause ^_^ here).

Next, Li Weiguo was a vassal.

Wu Yong, Chen Jingnan, Fu Xuexian, Rong Hong, Li Hongzao, Zhang Xiaoliu and other biggest heroes were awarded the title of marquis, Wang Kaitai, Xu Ting, Cheng Kun and a large number of heroes were also awarded the titles of earl, viscount, baron, etc., and even Li Hongzhang finally got a viscount, although it was a big difference with his Yan Wang, but Li Hongzhang was down-to-earth, in Li Weiguo's words, as long as you have the ability, you will inevitably be crowned a prince and a marquis in the future.

A member of the entire Li Weiguo group. On this day, they were rewarded with various awards, and even the most basic soldiers and civil servants were rewarded with salaries ranging from three months to three years, and everyone was happy.

This is a victory belonging to the Li Weiguo group. It represents the formation of a completely new ruling class.

The strategists, generals, and civil officials, on this day, they all realized their own life pursuits and goals, and assisted the lord Li Weiguo to become emperor. A powerful new China has been established, and their lives have been sublimated on this day and the greatest value of life has been realized.

Return to the Taihe Temple. Li Weiguo sat high on the dragon chair and accepted three bows and nine bows from hundreds of civil and military officials. Although Li Weiguo did not advocate this kind of celebration ceremony, he could not resist the persuasion of the civil and military officials, and finally agreed.

When he saw hundreds of civil and military officials and thousands of escort guards kneeling down together, Li Weiguo's heart only felt extremely happy, life is only a few decades in a hurry, you have to live a wonderful life, every man will have an imperial dream from childhood to adulthood, and now Li Weiguo has finally realized, at this moment, he is extremely excited, excited, arrogant, looking at the world, the whole world is the only one.

The duties of the civil and military officials have already been arranged, but they still have to go through a formality in the Taihe Palace.

As for the Qing Dynasty's Military Aircraft Department, it was an institution that concentrated all its efforts on the emperor, which was very important to Li Weiguo at the moment, so it continued to be retained, but the Military Aircraft Department was replaced by the Military Command Department and the General Staff, and it was still under Li Weiguo's personal control.

After arranging the work for the ministers, it is the canonization ceremony of the harem concubines, which shows that the importance of women in this era is obviously not enough.

Fu Shanxiang is the first lady of Li Weiguo, so she naturally wants to canonize the queen of the main palace, Shen Ziyan and Su Sanniang are the queen of the East Palace and the queen of the West Palace respectively, and Yilan is the fourth, although she has been in the door for a short time, she is also the woman that Li Weiguo is marrying.

These are Li Weiguo's only four women at present, as for Ci'an and Cixi, it is obviously not visible, Li Weiguo has a pure hunting mentality towards them, just keep them in captivity for fun, and he doesn't plan to really accept them.

As for Li Weiguo's three sons and three daughters, because they are too young to be canonized, they are just called the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, the eldest princess, the second princess and the third princess.

Then there are the members of the family, Li Weiguo's parents are naturally named the emperor and the queen mother, and the other relatives have a holiday with Li Weiguo, Li Weiguo is not bad if he doesn't settle accounts with them, and naturally he will not give them knighthoods and titles, everything depends on their own ability to fight for it.

Of course, for the sake of Li's father and mother's soft-heartedness, Li Weiguo still rewarded his relatives with some property, which was enough for them to be a little rich.

Finally, there is the finale of the amnesty of the world, showing the immensity of the emperor, and then receiving the envoys of the vassal states and foreign envoys in China to meet and congratulate, and put on a palace banquet to celebrate, which is considered to have completed the enthronement ceremony.

For a whole day, Li Weiguo was really tired, and when he thought of it in the future, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, being an emperor is enjoyable, but being a good emperor is really tired, no wonder there are so many faint monarchs in history, so many titanium, this emperor is really not a human job.

When he returned to the harem to rest, he found that Fu Shanxiang, Shen Ziyan, Su Sanniang and the four daughters of Yilan were all together.

Li Weiguo looked at this and that, they were all stunning beauties, and today they were deliberately dressed up, like the fairies in the painting, which was pleasing to the eye.

"Who are you with me today?"

"Naturally, it's the sister of the queen of the main palace!"

"What is the main palace and not the main palace, everyone is a good sister, don't give birth! I'm going to take the children, or my sisters to bed! ”

"We also want to take the child, then the fourth sister will sleep with our emperor's husband!"

"How can I do it, today is a big day, although my sister is small, she also knows how to count etiquette, so let's sleep with my sisters!"

Seeing the four girls pushing around, Li Weiguo was suddenly unhappy.

"What do I mean by you four pushing around? When I'm a cargo! Li Weiguo suddenly made a bad suggestion: "I don't think about it, how about we sleep together today?" ”

"You're beautiful!"

The four girls objected almost in unison.

Li Weiguo smiled bitterly, it seems that he spoils his four daughters-in-law too much, and he dares to be disobedient.

"Mingyue, send someone to serve them to bathe and change their clothes, and then send them to me together!"

Li Weiguo gave an order, Mingyue naturally did not dare to disobey, and immediately took a group of female guards to carry the four women, ignored their protests, and sent them directly to bathe and change clothes.

"Haha, look at how the husband cleans you up tonight, and it's against you!"

Li Weiguo laughed, he was too excited today, so he simply went ridiculous, and he was too addicted to the emperor.

Not long after, the four girls finished bathing and were sent to Cining Palace by Mingyue to Li Weiguo.

Looking at the four delicate beauties, Li Weiguo was in a very happy mood, and seemed to remember the days when the two queen dowagers of Ci'an and Cixi were overthrown here.

Although the fourth daughter has long been Li Weiguo's woman, but today for some reason, she twisted it, like a yellow flower girl who had just married and was about to enter the cave room.

Li Weiguo pounced on Fu Shanxiang first, but Fu Shanxiang smiled and dodged.

Then Li Weiguo went to pounce on the other three women, but they were also placed together and avoided one after another.

"Your Majesty, why don't you blindfold yourself and catch that sister, which sister will accompany you first?" Yilan rolled her eyes and suddenly proposed.

Li Weiguo saw that the other three daughters did not object, and he was immediately happy.

This is the rhythm of being a faint king!

However, we are Mingjun...... Well...... There must be a clear distinction between public and private, and the seemingly rich husband and wife life is not necessarily a faint king!

Right! It's the sauce purple drops! (To be continued.) )
