Chapter 275: Dragon City Deliberations
The Shenlong Empire unified the Central Plains and recovered the lost country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As the temporary imperial capital, the dragon city has naturally become a place of great attention. In the past few days, Gou Xiangfei, the chief of the Ministry of Rites, has been busy receiving envoys from various countries, and the national embassies in Longcheng are almost full. The envoys of various countries met with Gou Xiangfei in private, and exchanged the wishes of their monarchs with Gou Xiangfei. This is the process that should be followed before the formal talks, in order to avoid complications when Yanhui summons envoys from various countries. Gou Xiangfei came to the Wanmin Palace to meet Yan Hui in a hurry, wanting to report the basic situation of the envoys of various countries. When he came to the Palace of the People, it happened that the cabinet members were there.
Yan Hui is trying on the dress with the help of Peach Blossom. The official uniform of the Shenlong Empire is modeled after Dayan, and the high-crowned Bo belt is very chic. Yan Hui's emperor's crown dress is also customized, which Zhou Ruhai and Fan Jin and others are not ambiguous at all, and now Yan Hui is trying on a new generalissimo military dress.
For a long time, the armor style of the Central Plains army, including Dayan, was relatively uniform, but the style of the military uniform was really not handsome enough. Basically, there is no difference from the people's clothes, but the colors and materials are relatively uniform. As a former modern soldier, Yan Hui knows the significance of military uniforms to the army, which can not only make the army uniform, but also the concrete embodiment of the glory of soldiers.
It is okay for civil officials to have wide robes and large sleeves, and it is also in line with the characteristics of this era. The military is different, and it looks a bit nondescript to let the generals wear armor or official uniforms with wide robes and large sleeves when they go to court. This is also the reason why the civil officials of the past dynasties looked down on the military generals, because most of the military generals in this era were tall and strong, wearing official uniforms with wide robes and large sleeves, not only did not have that kind of fierce temperament, but also did not have the chic and elegant of civil officials. Therefore, Yanhui decided to imitate the style of modern military uniforms for the whole army, and the new military uniforms are divided into three types: regular uniforms, training uniforms and military ceremonial uniforms. Generals are required to wear military uniforms when they go to court, regular uniforms when inspecting troops and when there are no combat missions in peacetime, and training uniforms are worn during combat.
The military uniforms of the Shenlong Empire are divided into three types: army uniforms, navy uniforms, and artillery uniforms. The army uniform is based on dark blue, with the rank and the logo of the unit to which it belongs; The navy is based on white and blue, with military rank and unit logo; Artillery is based on black with the rank and unit emblem. The uniforms were made of wool-blended nizi as the main material, and high-waisted leather boots were issued regardless of the type of soldier to show the might of the imperial soldiers.
The military dress is a lightweight military helmet made of cork, which is divided into army protocol helmet, naval protocol helmet and artillery protocol helmet according to different arms. The regular uniform is issued with a large-brimmed hat, and the combat is issued with a new combat helmet, that is, according to the style of the old combat helmet, the combat helmet made of integral stamping is used to protect the soldier's head and neck from injury to the greatest extent.
In order to match the new military uniforms, Yan Hui referred to the modern military rank system, formulated the rank regulations of the Shenlong Empire and implemented them throughout the army. The imperial military ranks are divided into 15 levels, from high to low, generalissimo, general, general, lieutenant general, major general, colonel, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant, non-commissioned officer, and soldier. Among them, the Generalissimo is awarded only to the Emperor and is the supreme commander of the Imperial Army.
With this new military uniform and rank, the corresponding imperial national emblem and military emblem were also determined, all of which were painted by Yan Hui himself, and the national emblem was copied from the pattern on the imperial flag, and the military emblem was to add military symbols on the basis of the national emblem.
After the military uniform was made, it won the warm welcome of the soldiers of the whole army, this military uniform is beautiful and handsome, and it is easy to wear and has a shaping effect, which sets off the strong bodies of the soldiers more powerful.
The generals especially liked it, and as soon as the new military uniform was made, they locked the official uniform with wide robes and large sleeves in the box and kept it for the ancestors to wear again. The generals wore new-style military uniforms one by one and swayed in front of the civilian officials, making the civilian officials jealous, and suggested to Yan Hui whether they could make civilian uniforms with reference to the style of military uniforms. But before Yan Hui could speak, he was reprimanded by a group of old ministers such as Zhou Ruhai, Fan Jin and Yuan Chong, on the grounds that soldiers are the backbone of the empire and should be mighty. Civil officials are the spirit of the empire, and they must show the bearing of all rivers and the demeanor of a great country. So in order to comfort the civil officials, Yan Hui ordered to change the materials used in the civil uniforms, and the gorgeous silk became the main material, plus a variety of gorgeous ornaments, the new civil official uniforms can only be described in one word, that is, dazzling.
The generalissimo's military uniforms, regular uniforms and training uniforms are all crimson, because the Shenlong Empire is still hot, so the emperor's clothing is mostly crimson, which has something in common with Dayan, so the main color of the flag of the Shenlong Empire is also bright red. The uniforms of Yan Hui's pro-army Tiger Ben Army and the newly established Royal Praetorian Guard Regiment are also red, and the shiny military ranks on this red military uniform are definitely eye-catching.
As the emperor of the empire and the commander of the three armies, Yan Hui's rank mark is naturally different. The epaulettes on both shoulders and the collar on the collar are all golden dragons except for the national emblem, and even the piping of the sleeves is a golden dragon pattern plus the military emblems of the three armed forces. This dress made His Majesty Yan Hui, who was already a super male god, the focus of attention, and also made several major directors around him full of praise.
Wang Mengrong's appearance in the sword was extraordinary, and his knee-high shiny leather boots clicked in the hall, and the general's majesty was unobstructed. Ximenqing did not wear a civilian uniform, but a red military uniform, his beard was clean, and he actually had the style of a general.
"I said flowers, you see how handsome Your Majesty is. Well, tighten the belt, it won't look good if it's crooked. The rank of generalissimo is beautiful. Big brother, when will the medal be awarded, the big guy is waiting. ”
"Third child, what are you in a hurry, your credit is indispensable."
Zhou Xiaoxian is wearing a royal blue civil official uniform, customized according to the empire, which is the color of the first product. Xiaoxian has a special status, that is, he can wear civilian uniforms or military uniforms. And this guy also wears a very special ornament on his chest. He made a sumptuous pendant out of jade, gold, and precious stones, and hung a silver object on his chest with a silver inlay in the middle.
"Second brother, what are you hanging on, there is no such thing in the Imperial Medal."
"What do you know, this was given to me by His Majesty when I met His Majesty for the first time, when I kowtowed in front of the Lord of the Stove. What medal can be compared, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. ”
Zhou Xiaoxian's words made everyone laugh, and Gou Xiangfei looked at Zhou Xiaoxian enviously. This is His Majesty's intimate person, who can compare with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Big brother, I want what kind of treasure you give to the second brother, they are all brothers, and you can't favor one over the other."
"It's just a piece of broken silver, what kind of treasure can it be, you want me to give you a basket."
Hahahaha, everyone knows that even a hundred baskets are not as significant as the broken silver on Zhou Xiaoxian's chest.
Yan Hui reached out and raised his leg to try it, and it fit perfectly. He turned to Gou Xiangfei and said, "You have arranged it very well, and it can be regarded as comprehensive, and the requirements of these countries have also been carefully divided. Overall, there were no unreasonable demands, and further consultations could be undertaken and a draft could be developed. Consult with Chief Yuan more, and you can also call the heads of relevant ministries. The general principle of imperial relations must be upheld, and remember what I said: the interests of the empire are above all else. ”
"Remember. Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Manggul mission is arranged in a separate place, the minister thinks that the Niufu Courtyard is good, and the Queen of Manggul also likes it there, saying that she wants to live next to your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty wants? ”
"Yes. Manggul is an important ally of ours, and he has been doing everything he can to help us in this campaign. This consultation must focus on Manggul and must bring the relationship between the two countries closer. You must know that the Far East has not yet been recovered, and Su Meiduo does not know whether he is alive or dead. Sworn enemies are sworn enemies, and don't have the illusion that they will find out in their conscience, they are only temporarily dormant. Therefore, we must let Manggul stand with us, and I feel that in the future we will deal with the crisis together with Manggul. ”
"Your Majesty is right, you must treat Mangul as a close ally of the Empire, and you must keep Mangul and the Empire in line. For this reason, we can carry out all-round and in-depth exchanges and cooperation with Manggul, which is very beneficial to the empire. Ximenqing said.
"Well, Simon is right, I will send Ouyang Xiu to talk with you with the envoy of Manggul. Their prime minister is here, Ouyang Xiu is the cabinet secretary, and Mendel is also at the same level. Equality and mutual benefit of diplomatic relations between the two countries are the most important thing, and of course this is only for true friends. ”
"Xiang Fei remembered, with Ouyang Shangshu here, Xiang Fei will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust. Your Majesty, Lord Xu Yangzheng is a talented and rare diplomatic talent. The minister wanted to recommend Lord Xu to serve as the head of the Ministry of Rites. ”
Yan Hui looked at Gou Xiangfei with a smile, very satisfied.
"Xiangfei has this thought, and I am very relieved. But you're also very good in the Ministry of Rites, and I'm still reluctant to let you go. In this way, Yangzheng will be your deputy, deputy head of the Ministry of Rites. Hehe, I know that you have always been good, and it is a very happy thing to be your deputy. Soar, the Cabinet Council will judge the merits, you will be awarded the Imperial Order of Merit, and you will need to continue to work hard in the future. ”
"Minister, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live the Empire!"
Gou Xiangfei fell to his knees excitedly. The Divine Dragon Empire's merit system divides merit into five classes. The first class is the Holy Empire Merit, and the merit is divided into three grades. Awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions to the expansion of the empire and to the establishment and construction of the empire. This includes not only high-ranking officials and ministers, but also ordinary people. The second class is for the Imperial Merit, which is also divided into three levels. It is used to reward people who have made outstanding contributions to the empire in all walks of life. The third class is for the Imperial Merit, which is divided into three classes. It is used to reward people who have made outstanding contributions in their positions. These three meritorious services are the highest honors of the Empire and can be hereditary.
The remaining two categories are the Imperial Endeavor Meritorious Service and the Imperial Honorary Merit, which are mainly used to reward the people of the empire and the grassroots officials who have contributed to the empire. No matter what kind of merit, it is not only a symbol of honor, but also a material and power reward that comes with it. Through these honors and awards, it can play a role in uniting the people, promoting the people to actively forge ahead, and be loyal to the monarch and patriotism.
Gou Xiangfei is not the best one among Yan Hui's followers, but his merits are dedication and lack of jealousy, which is why Yan Hui awarded Gou Xiangfei the Order of Merit of the Third Class Empire.
Gou Xiangfei went to Ouyang Xiu with excitement, and Yan Hui asked Peach Blossom again: "How is Fengtian?" ”
"Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang is sitting in Fengtian, and with the assistance of Wen Toast, Chen Jiuling and Huangpu Song, everything is going well. According to His Majesty's wishes, the Imperial Castle was rebuilt on the original basis and was not rebuilt on a large scale. However, after this catastrophe, many palaces in the imperial city were damaged. Taihe Palace is in a dilapidated state. Emperor Taishang convened the parliamentarians among the people of Fengtian to discuss together, and everyone said that it was better to tear down and rebuild. Besides, Shenlong opened the country, and it really doesn't look like tinkering with such a dilapidated palace. The slave has something that should not be said, and if it is not right, please forgive your majesty. ”
"Say it."
"Your Majesty cherishes the people's strength, and the people are grateful, but the people of Gyeonggi are having a hard time, and the empire has given money and grain to help the people, and also encouraged the people to farm and do business, asking for money and money, and asking for things and things, and the people of Gyeonggi are holding back their strength and looking forward to Your Majesty's return to Beijing as soon as possible. The slave and maid felt that now that the farming time had passed, the people had nothing to do, and they could not earn money and food. In addition, the damage to Fengtian was relatively serious, and the slaves and maids thought that it would be better to gather the people together and repair the Fengtian City and the imperial palace. In this way, the people have money and food, and the empire has a new capital, which can be described as the best of both worlds. ”
"What Tao Hua said is extremely true." Zhou Ruhai said.
"The dragon was established as a country, and there are only ten states in the Central Plains that are waiting to be rebuilt, and other places are rich. Therefore, there is no problem with money and food at all in the rebuilding of the imperial capital of the empire, and the imperial capital should be the face of the empire, and it is indeed not good to be tattered. The old minister suggested rebuilding the imperial capital and rebuilding the imperial city. Build a magnificent and atmospheric Wanmin Palace to show my vitality. ”
Others also agreed, to be honest, if they took over Fengtian from Long Xingrong, everyone would not have any awkwardness in their hearts. But there was an alien dynasty added in the middle, which made everyone's hearts very tired. The Shenlong Empire is rising day by day, and it's not that there is no money, so why pick up the leftovers of other people. The construction of the new capital city was also expected, so everyone unanimously agreed.
"Okay, let's rebuild. But the people's money and food can only be more than they can be. Also, since it is a reconstruction, I mean to build the Shenlong Pantheon and the Martyrs' Temple on the basis of the Dayan Loyal Soul Temple. The Panthéon enshrines the sages of all dynasties from the pre-Qin period onwards to show the empire's open-mindedness and also to indicate that the empire is the inheritor of the Central Plains culture. The Martyrs' Temple is dedicated to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country in the war to expel foreign enemies, as well as those generals who have been famous for centuries. The Panthéon is on the left, the Temple of the Martyrs is on the right, and in the center is the Imperial Hall of Honor. The Imperial Hall of Honor honors those who made outstanding contributions to the good of the empire during the establishment of the empire and in its future construction. Manggul has a hall of heroes, and we should also have a hall of honor, I don't know what the ministers think? ”
"The ministers agree."
"Then let's discuss the matter of military merit awards and awards." (To be continued.) )
