Chapter 908: The Manchu Relics

"China, China's ......"

Zeng Guofan muttered a few times in a row, and gradually felt very comfortable, and said, "Lord, I agree with the name change." Compared with the name of the Qing Dynasty, the word China is more atmospheric and comprehensive, and can represent the people of the whole country, no longer representing a specific group of people. ”

Zuo Zongtang then said: "I also agree! ”

Immediately afterwards, Lu Shaochuan, Liu Jintang, Zhao Liewen, and others spoke, all in favor of revising the Qing Dynasty into China.

Li Zhen's gaze fell on Zeng Guofan, and said, "Brother Bohan, the matter of changing the name of the country will be left to you." Immediately prepare a proclamation to inform the people of the world. In addition, it is necessary to send people to inform the ministers of various countries in China so that they can all remember. ”

"Understood!"

Zeng Guofan should go down and immediately carry it out.

Li Zhen looked at the people sitting down in the hall and said, "Next, you can find more information about the presidential system and learn more about the situation in foreign countries to have a general understanding." Once I've prepared all the information, we'll discuss it carefully. ”

Everyone left, and Li Zhen sent someone to find Smith. After all, Smith has lived in the United States, knows the details of the United States, and with Smith's help, it will be much easier to find information about the founding of the United States.

……

Beijing, Zhengyangmen.

At this time, Zhengyangmen is full of people.

In the past, after Zuo Zongtang captured the city of Beijing, he immediately set out to restore the people's livelihood and let the people resume production as soon as possible. With Zuo Zongtang's policy support, whether it is a farmer, a businessman, or a figure of three religions and nine streams, they all recover in the shortest time and become active in the city of Beijing, after all, this imperial city has enough heritage.

"Bell! Clang!!! ”

The crisp sound of gongs resounded in the streets of the city.

"King Zhennan has the latest notice, King Zhennan has issued the latest notice!!" In front of the two soldiers who beat the gong, a soldier in a military uniform with a stack of notices in his hand shouted loudly. He shouted as he walked towards the gate of Zhengyangmen. Behind the soldiers, a crowd of civilians had gathered, all of whom had followed as the soldiers shouted.

"Master Jun, what is the order of King Zhennan? Tell us, tell us! ”

"As a soldier, what order did the king of Zhennan prove, is it to ascend the throne and become the emperor!"

"According to my speculation, the king of Zhennan is probably going to be the emperor, preparing to drive away the little emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Hehe, I raised my hands in favor, thinking that the Manchu dog and Tartar emperors only knew how to play with women and smoke opium, groveling to foreigners, and had no backbone at all. The current emperor is even more petty and useless. It's good that King Zhennan is the emperor, and we can live a peaceful life. I said, brother, what exactly is the order on the notice? Don't just shout and don't fart, speak first! ”

The people who followed kept talking, and they were noisy, like a busy city.

Despite the shouts of the people, the soldier with the notice did not answer, but smiled in return.

In a few moments, the soldiers had already arrived at the gate of Zhengyangmen.

He quickly pasted the notice on the wall, then slipped away with two soldiers who were beating the gong, and ran to the next place. At this time, the people gathered around to watch the notices posted on the city wall, and the illiterate people shouted one after another, telling the literate scholars to read them quickly.

"It's all quiet, it's quiet, I'll tell you what the notice is about!"

A scholar stepped forward and reminded loudly.

Soon, the surroundings fell silent.

The scholar raised his head, pointed to the notice, and said loudly: "The notice issued by the king of Zhennan said that from today onwards, the Great Qing Kingdom will no longer be called the Great Qing Dynasty, but will be renamed China!" As for who everyone cares about as emperor, it has not yet been announced. ”

"Hey, the change of the country name means a change of dynasty. However, why didn't the king of Zhennan ascend the throne and become the emperor? Weird! Weird! ”

"How do you call it China? I don't understand! ”

"No matter what you do with so much, as long as we are the king of Zhennan and the king of Zhennan, this is enough. With the king of Zhennan here, the children of the Eight Banners in Sijiu City can no longer be arrogant. We Han people, turned over! ”

Countless people are vying to discuss.

These people are very excited.

Throughout the city of Beijing, a pleasant atmosphere spreads.

The vast majority of the people supported Li Zhen's approach, but there were also a very small number of Manchu people who did not support it, and even cursed Li Zhen. The people's discussion of the revision of the country name has spread not only in Zhengyangmen, but also in all parts of Beijing.

When the news reached the ears of Cixi and Ci'an, both women were stunned, and then they cried. Cixi hugged the young Emperor Tongzhi, looked sad, and choked in a low voice: "My son, why are you so miserable, and you meet Li Zhen, a person who has been cut by a thousand knives!" A few of us have become slaves to the country. ”

Ci'an said: "This step is still here. ”

Cixi sighed and said, "Sister, Li Zhen's intention to abolish the emperor has been decided, and it will never be changed. But he once said that he was not an emperor, which is a little strange. Especially the country name has been changed, he is still the king of Zhennan, and he doesn't know what to do. ”

Ci'an said: "No matter what, I hope Li Zhen's words will count and leave our mother's life!" ”

The two women looked at each other, and they were even more sad.

When Cixi and Ci'an accepted their fate, people arranged by Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries in Beijing also got the news, and then took the first step to send the news back and inform their country's envoys in China.

Every country attaches great importance to such important news.

After the country was renamed, the reactions of the people in the city were all gathered in the hands of Zhao Liewen.

After Zhao Liewen received Cixi and Ci'an's actions, a smile appeared on his face. It's good for these two women to know the current affairs, if they don't know the current affairs, he can only destroy the flowers with his hands. When the reaction of the people in the city came up, Zhao Liewen's heart was more stable, because most of the news that came down below was good news, and they all agreed with Li Zhen to change the country name.

"Lord Zhao, it's not good, it's not good!"

When Zhao Liewen was in a good mood, a soldier rushed in in a hurry.

Zhao Liewen asked, "What happened?" ”

The soldier hurriedly replied, "There are thousands of very old Manchus, or some old Manchu scholars, gathered outside the gates of the Forbidden City, all of them against the prince's change of the country's name. ”

"The Forbidden City? How did these people get to the Forbidden City? Zhao Liewen asked.

The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know why. ”

Zhao Liewen nodded and ordered: "Go and inquire about the news again, and I will report to the prince immediately!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Liewen left the study and walked towards Li Zhen's residence. Coming to Li Zhen's study, Zhao Liewen bowed slightly, his expression was very calm, and he said calmly: "Lord, after the country name was revised, most of the people have accepted it, and some of the Manchu widows have not accepted it, and now they are gathered outside the Forbidden City to petition." ”

"Yo, I've gone to the Forbidden City, is it because I miss the dead Xianfeng, or Yi!"

Li Zhen smiled coldly, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "I have expected the result that there will be objections, don't worry." Immediately send an order to Liu Jintang and ask him to lead troops to surround the petitioning Manchu elders, and I will arrive later. ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Liewen should go down and immediately convey the order.
