The first-class Wenchen Meritorious Service Medal, which is a white jade sitting dragon pattern, only the emperor has the right to agree to distribute and award, and one person can only have one! Representing the highest honor of an imperial official!

The second-class Wenchen Meritorious Service Medal, for the gold dragon pattern, the governors and heads of ministries can apply to the cabinet, after the cabinet agrees, report to the emperor, and the emperor will award it!

The third-class Wenchen Meritorious Service Medal, which is a silver dragon pattern, needs to be reported to the central government when it is issued by local governments and ministries!

The fourth-class civil service meritorious medal, which is a bronze dragon pattern, needs to be reported to the central government when it is issued by local governments and ministries!

After reporting to the central government, the central government will allocate special funds to award these medalists accordingly, so don't send them secretly! Of course, is it also subject to the supervision of the masses?

In order to enhance the sense of honor of military personnel, and also to keep abreast of the general situation in the world and keep pace with the world, regulations have also been made on the style and awarding of military medals.

The first-class Medal of Warriors for the Protection of the Country, which is a blue jade and jade dragon pattern, is the highest medal of honor for imperial soldiers, and only the emperor has the right to award and award it! At the same time, Guangxu made a promise, and the first person to win the Blue Dragon Medal will also have a cash reward of 100,000 taels of silver!

The second-class Protector Warrior Medal, which is a gold dragon pattern, can be applied to the cabinet by local governments and ministries, and the cabinet agreed, and the cabinet raised it to the emperor, and then the emperor awarded and awarded!

The third-class Warrior Medal for the Protector of the Country, which is a silver dragon pattern, and all local governments and ministries need to report to the central government when awarding them!

The fourth-level Warrior Medal for the Protection of the Country, which is a bronze dragon pattern, needs to be reported to the central government when it is issued by local governments and ministries!

In the same way, soldiers will also receive material rewards when they receive medals, and according to different circumstances, the local government will also give certain material and monetary rewards according to the local financial situation when they return to their hometowns!

The purpose is to mobilize enthusiasm, there were honorary awards before, that is, to wear flower bells, and the control has been very strict, but it has not been able to keep up with the development of the times, because the next step is to reform the clothing, and this hat is the focus of reform in the future.

In the future, soldiers must wear steel helmets when they fight, and Guangxu is ready to let the army personnel wear berets in peacetime! Think about whether the berets of different colors worn by the army, navy and air force can also become a beautiful scenery!

Then there is the national emblem Emperor Guangxu suggested that the navy should use the dragon flag as the military flag, and the army would use the dragon flag as the military flag, and at the same time, government agencies also used these two patterns, both of which were set on a yellow background, so the Qing Empire had two patterns of national flags, which were different styles on the sea and land.

The national emblem will be decided directly, and the dragon pattern will be used as the national emblem.

The next thing is to discuss the national anthem, Guangxu wrote a word on the spot, and all the ministers came to take a look!

The flag of invincibility flutters in the wind,

How loud the victory song is;

Sing of our dear motherland,

From now on, we will be prosperous and strong.

Sing of our dear motherland,

From now on, we will be prosperous and strong.

Over the mountains, over the plains,

across the surging Yellow River and the Yangtze River;

Vast and beautiful land,

is our dear homeland,

The heroic people have stood up!

We are united and fraternal, strong as steel.

The flag of immortality flutters in the wind,

How loud the victory song is;

Sing of our dear motherland,

From now on, we will be prosperous and strong.

Sing of our dear motherland,

From now on, we will become prosperous and strong

We are industrious, we are brave,

Independence and freedom are our ideals;

How much suffering we have overcome,

Only today is the liberation!

We love peace, we love our homeland,

Whoever dares to violate us will call him death!

The banner of immortality flutters in the wind,

How loud the victory song is,

Sing of our dear motherland,

From now on, we will be prosperous and strong.

Sing of our dear motherland,

From now on, we will be prosperous and strong.

Come on, I'll teach you to sing it again, listen to me sing it first, and then Guangxu took these old men to sing the national anthem, and Guangxu once again realized that the five tones are not all in difficulty!

Let's do this first, the Ministry of Rites has always been responsible for composing music, and then it will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and in the shortest possible time, this song will be promoted, and everyone must be able to sing it!

At this time, Guangxu turned back to Cixi and said, Lafayette; "We still have to set a national flower, what do you say is the best flower?"

Cixi thought about it for a while, so let's order the peony flower!

So the peony flower has become the national flower of China!

These things have been decided, that is, it is required to customize a new style of uniform, imitating the precedent of a mature country, we must also wear a new style of uniform, and we must reform the military rank system to be in line with international standards?

This time, the rank of rear admiral will be temporarily conferred, and the Ministry of Industry must rush out a batch before sending out the mission according to the style of the new military uniform, and there can be no shame when it comes abroad!

There is also the need to rush out two white jade Zhenglong medals. A silver Zhenglong Medal, a silver Shenglong Medal, a new yellow, red and purple ribbon, a red-purple ribbon, and a purple ribbon.

Now that the preliminary preparations are almost complete, do you have anything else to talk about?

At this time, there was silence for a while, Guangxu just thought, go back early to rest, at this time Li Hongzao, the secretary of the military department, stood up and said that the minister had something to say!

Guangxu knows that sooner or later he is coming, Aiqing, tell me!

Li Hongzao said; "I think that I have been established in the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, since the founding of the country, all countries have come to the dynasty, and there has never been a gift for me to go to his help, and I want to be in the Qianlong Dynasty, there is a British mission to my Celestial Empire, and I want to trade with my Celestial Empire, and I also put forward the theory of communicating with each other, and I think that my Qianlong Lord's righteous words are all such rude requirements, such a small barbarian country is also worthy of equal trade with my big country, and I think that my Celestial Dynasty is all-encompassing, and it is already all-encompassing, and there is no need to trade with him at all."

Moreover, this change of clothes is also an impossibility, thinking that my Qing Dynasty is a gang of etiquette, and it has always been those barbarians who accept the education of my Celestial Empire, how can I come to my Celestial Dynasty to learn their strange costumes!

Therefore, this kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable!

Guangxu asked worriedly, "And those ministers think like this!" ”

At this time, almost all the officials of the Ministry of Rites were there, and half of them all proposed a reconsideration attitude, some officials were hesitating, and only a small number of officials sincerely supported the mission.

At this time, Guangxu looked at Cixi behind him, Guangxu knew that this was the result of Cixi's support for the Westernization Movement over the years, but the corrupt forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were still very strong!

At this time, Guang said to the teacher Weng Tongyi, and the teacher wrote down all the people who raised objections to the envoy today!

These ministers all jumped, is the emperor going to our sin?

Whether it's a crime or not, since ancient times, it has been a civil death admonition, a martial war to the death!

If the emperor kills us because of persuasion this time, then we can go down in history!

How did I think that Guangxu came next, these people are all heroes of our Great Qing Kingdom!

Then Guangxu asked, but what should I do if there have been civil unrest in the country over the years?

What should we do if the great powers invade our rivers and mountains?

Guangxu asked at Li Hongzao?

Li Hongzao said; "The minister thinks it's okay to quell the chaos with soldiers and educate with culture!"

Guangxu said that now the country is poor and the people are weak, and the troops have been defeated in many battles, but not only did they lose a moment's success, but also lost a lot of territory, so what can they do! “

Li Hongzao said, "These are all manifestations of lack of education!" The minister thinks that these barbarians should be educated a lot, so that they know that etiquette is honest and shameful, and they will not be doing a lot of evil! ”

Guangxu said, "What Aiqing said is so good, all Aiqing should think about how to educate these barbarians, so that they can understand etiquette and education!" ”

I really think that the best way is to educate in front of these thieves and barbarians.

I think that Zhuge Liang scolded Wang Lang to death in a few words, and the patriotic and loyal hearts of all the ministers in the court today are no better than Zhuge Kongming's desire to let ah, I know that you are loyal to the court, and you have the safety of the society in your heart!

I must give you a chance to behave, that's it!

You divide the labor and send people to the front line of Zhili to educate these rebellious people, so that I can put down the rebellion without using swords and guns, and I will not have to worry about my life, and I will not be killing more.

In addition, you will go to Tibet to quell the British invasion of Tibet, you will educate these uneducated barbarians, let them all go back to me, and let him apologize to me, pay compensation, sign a treaty, and swear that he will never come to commit a crime!

There is also going to Xinjiang and Heilongjiang, these two places let him occupy more than 1.5 million square kilometers of territory, this is my territory of the Qing Dynasty, I didn't expect here, I can't sleep at night, it's really hard to sleep!

You go and educate me, and then they return the territory, apologize, pay reparations, cede the land, and then declare themselves vassals, saying that they will never come back again!

At this time, Li Hongzao was really full of remorse!

He can do these things!

But the emperor obviously won't give up!

At this time, Guangxu said to Cixi behind; "Father Huang, what Li Zhongtang said just now about educating these rebellious ministers and thieves, as well as these barbarians who don't know etiquette, are all correct and should be implemented immediately, it is really a lot of benefits, how much money is saved in food and military expenses, and manual transportation!"

Cixi said; "What the emperor said is very true, don't delay, go back and prepare, and set off tomorrow!"

All right! Retreat!

Guangxu thought of an important thing, when the British mission came, the gifts prepared were quite rich, that was the first to start the industrial revolution, that time the delegation brought, what about the steam engine, Guangxu was in a hurry to go down, is to see, this steam engine!

Oh my steam engine!
