Within the imperial court, changes were also quietly underway. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As far as the Empress Dowager Cixi was concerned, it was in her interest to reclaim the authority of the governor, who had become increasingly powerful, through the name of changing the law, and it was in her interest to carry out drastic innovations with an attitude of actively seeking change. Emperor Tianyou naively thought that the era of reform and survival of the Dajin Kingdom had arrived, and he was ambitious to make a difference, but he soon became depressed, because he found that the Empress Dowager's attitude towards him had changed greatly since she returned to Luan. Although Cui Yugui was executed to avenge Concubine Zhen, the intimacy between mother and son was no longer as close as when there were two dragons on one bench that day.

The Queen Mother has become the high-minded and formidable father again, throwing out a decree to be signed by the emperor and issued in the name of the edict, as for its content, the emperor is not allowed to make any doubts or modifications.

In the imperial court, there were not only Shanqi, Tieliang and other sectarians, hoping to take the opportunity of constitutional reform to compete for authority with their relatives and so that they could seize more power, and there were also pro-clan nobles such as Cheng Xun and Cheng Tao, hoping to take advantage of the constitutional reform and jump up and be reused as a foreigner. Break through the barriers of age and qualifications, compete with veterans such as Zhang Xiangtao, and replace them.

It is the voice of the government and the opposition from top to bottom, changing the law and establishing the constitution, wave after wave. When everyone shouted a slogan in unison, few people really considered whether the true meaning of the slogan they and their companions really coincided.

Under the impetus of the Empress Dowager and her ministers, the Bureau of Official Compilation was first established, and the original institutions in the imperial court were changed. According to the treaty after the Fist Rebellion, the General Office of National Affairs was changed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and later because of the increasing importance of fund-raising, business received more and more attention, and the Ministry of Commerce was specially established, and later in order to promote the patrol system, the patrol police department was established.

Under the impetus of the Bureau of Official Compilation and Writing, the original ministries of the imperial court were also revised. The patrol police are at the end of the civil affairs and are called the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The household department was changed to a degree branch, and the finance department and the tax department were merged. The Ministry of War was changed to the Ministry of War and merged with the Training Department and Taifu Temple, and the Navy was also under the management of the War Department because it existed in name only. The Military Command Department was changed to the Advisory Office to hold the key points of military and political affairs in the country. The Criminal Department was renamed the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Commerce was renamed the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry and Commerce.

The Rifan Yuan was reorganized into the Ministry of Rites, and the three temples of Taichang, Guangroku, and Honglu were merged into the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Industry was renamed the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and the railway, postal and shipping industries were incorporated into it. The order of the ministries is: the first Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the second Ministry of Civil Affairs, the second branch, the second Ministry of Rites, the second school department, the second army department, the second law department, the second Ministry of Agriculture and Industry and Commerce, the second Ministry of Posts and Communications, and the second department of the Ministry of Administration.

This is a killer move made by the relatives and nobles, and not long after Yuan Weiting worked hard to build a training office for Dajin, he found that he had become a wedding dress for others. As soon as the War Department was established, the power of the military training department was returned to the War Department, and he wasted all his efforts to unify the military power in the world, while the imperial court picked peaches and included all the military power in the way of the War Department, and he wasted his strength.

The only thing that is gratifying is that the War Department is temporarily in charge of King Qing, so it will not be unfavorable to Yuan Weiting. But after learning from the pain, Yuan Weiting was also afraid, if it wasn't for listening to Zhao Guanhou's suggestion, Taoguang would have been obscure. This time he changed to the official system, and he will be the target of the public, not a stepping stone for Dajin in vain. As soon as this restructuring was completed, he no longer paid more attention to the law change, and only devoted his mind to the construction of the six towns of Beiyang.

Not long after the restructuring, the imperial court organized a large-scale autumn exercise for the Zhangde Mansion, with the six towns of Beiyang, the fifth town of Shandong, the fourth town of Zhili, and the first town of Jingqi as the northern army, and the southern army composed of the first mixed association in Henan and the eighth town based on the Hubei Self-Reliance Army.

Ministers and military observers of various countries were specially invited to observe the confrontation, which was also praised by various countries. In particular, the performance of the Fifth Town in Shandong made all countries look sideways, secretly calculating that if such a force was used to meet the coalition forces of the nations that day, what would be the victory or defeat.

With the light of this exercise, Yuan Weiting was able to get out of the whirlpool of the struggle of the imperial court and catch the troops with peace of mind. At least he understood a truth, Dajin Guo doesn't need to love himself, and he doesn't need to love Dajin Guo.

Zhao Guanhou handed over the errand of the patrol police department, but in the War Department, he still left a right errand for him, and it was also for the convenience of his entry into Beijing. Its change in Shandong has a mixed reputation in the imperial court, but because of the protection of the Empress Dowager Cixi and King Qing, it is not a big problem. The new laws enacted by the Ministry of Justice were also officially regarded as the legal foundation of the imperial court, and were popularized along with the patrol system.

This new Dajin Code was formulated by Zhao Guanhou with partial reference to the laws of later generations, and it is much more rigorous and perfect than the previous Dajin Law, and it is also more in line with humanity. Even in the current Taixi countries, it must be admitted that Daikin has inspired itself in many articles in the new law.

In terms of civil law, Zhao Guanhou emphasized fines, or low fines for labor, which is very much in line with the current reality that Dajinguo's economy is weak and the state is insufficient. Even the development of housing donations, land donations, inheritance donations and other taxes has increased the income of various provinces, and it is inevitable that countless people will grit their teeth and scold.

Not long after the implementation of the new law, the negotiations between the three provinces of Kanto also reached preliminary results. Fuso and the Tiele people signed the Treaty of Portsmouth, which was the first time that the yellow race defeated the white race in such an international war, which was the first time in a generation. In the country, there were already signs of rebellion, and the Tsar could only mobilize troops to quell the rebellion, and had no intention of continuing the war. And Fusang himself is also seriously injured, just outside the Lushun Fortress, he has sacrificed countless iron-blooded good men, and if he wants to fight, he is also powerless.

As Duan Zhiquan expected before, Fusang, who had paid such a huge price, naturally did not want to sacrifice in vain, and his original intention was to transfer Tiele's original interests to himself. However, this point is resolutely unacceptable to Daikin. After several tug-of-wars, it was finally finalized that the right of way of the main road of the South Manchurian Railway belonged to Fusang (this was written by Tiele when he signed the Portsmouth Agreement, and the Jin State had no right to interfere), and the right to build the branch road of South Manchuria was shared by the two families. Jin has the right to open a branch road on the South Manchurian Railway, and Fusang also has the right to build it, and the specific construction needs to be agreed upon by each other.

Another harvest is the Anbong Railway, which was originally established due to the needs of the Tiele Fusang War, and the railway was built by Andong to lead directly to Mukden. Daikin did not ask for land rent and, of course, did not provide Fuso with the cost of materials. Now that the war is over, it is natural for the Jin Kingdom to take back the Anbong Railway, while Fusang hopes to continue to retain the right of way for the Anbong Railway.

After two negotiations a few times, after all, Fusang lost too much blood in the previous battle, and now he needs to recuperate, and if he has a bad relationship with the Jin State, he is afraid of a resurgence outside the border, so he can only make a compromise. The fact that the Jin State paid part of the cost of materials and sold the Anbong Railway to the Jin State at a discount was also a great diplomatic victory for the Jin State.

Compared with the Treaty of Shimonoseki on that day, this time the customs diplomacy involved, the Jin State can be said to be a turnaround. In the domestic public opinion, there is always more praise than depreciation, and in the discussion of the imperial court, the return of the three provinces is also a great good thing.

The only flaw is that Xu Juren was full of ambition and was recruited back by telegram to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the governor of the three eastern provinces appointed Zhao Erqian. If you calculate carefully, Zhao Erqian is also the seal for Cheng Zhen, once he succeeds in the Northeast, Cheng Zhen will go to reap the profits.

Thinking of this, Xu Juren couldn't help but sigh, "Tens of millions of accumulated wealth are all in the private pockets of the powerful." Knowing this, it is better to disperse it to the people outside the Guan, even if it is distributed to the three armies, it is better than being taken by those powerful people to live happily. After this incident, the officials who are familiar with the inside story, King Yu Qing, although they are quite disdainful, and even for the Dajin court, their hearts gradually became cold.

But on a national scale, there are still more and more capable people who feel that the imperial court finally has hope, and perhaps there is no need for bloodshed and sacrifice to create death, and the country can be saved. Like Tessie, the imperial court set up a bank to put the economy in order. The establishment of the local council gave the gentry a glimmer of hope. I hope that when the National Assembly is formed, I can become members of parliament and intervene in the state to realize my ideals or defend my personal interests.

Out of the last bit of trust in the imperial court, these gentry chose to side with the imperial court and began to resist and even extinguish Ge Ming's power. Ge Ming's organizations in various places have been damaged to varying degrees, and the only ones who really cooperate with Ge Ming's party loyally are the ranger class, which has always been despised by others: the Hui Party.

Dajin's Jianghu power at this time was particularly strong, after experiencing the Taiping Army and the Flying Tiger Regiment, martial arts sects or gangs in various places were dotted around, with as few as 100 people and as many as 100 tens of thousands.

Most of the members of these forces are poor peasants and ordinary people, and constitutional affairs have nothing to do with them. Of course, those legislators look down on these mud legs, and these gang members don't understand what constitutionalism is. They only believe in one sentence: to be an official, to kill people and set fires to be recruited.

To be an emperor, to be a general, to be a prime minister, these simple and easy-to-understand slogans are more acceptable to people than the illusory constitution. Moreover, after several military disasters, even though the compensation for the riots fell by nearly half, the apportionment of the provinces still bankrupted the vast rural economy.

More and more peasants have lost the land on which they depended, or have become tenants and long-term laborers, or have been displaced and forced to leave their hometowns and move into the cities to earn a living. These people do not understand why the imperial court lost the battle and asked them to compensate the imperial court. When the war was declared, it was not agreed to by itself, but now it is necessary to pay taxes and make up the reparations by itself, and there is no such reason in the world.

In order to avoid being bullied, people from the same place first formed a group, and some people who were known for their courage or prestige became leaders. This group was then adopted and annexed by the larger group, forming a larger group, and eventually, the gang hall was formed.

Among these people, except for a very few dragon helmsmen, who can put on robes and gowns, they can become gentry. Most people, left and right, are just heroes in the green forest, thieves, first-class characters in Song Jiang, no matter how good their reputation is in the rivers and lakes, their reputation among the people is still poor.

Because of this, their antagonism with the gentry also grew, and as the gentry supported the Dajin court, these charlatans began to support the Geming party. The leader of the gang turned into the marshal of the righteous army, and the morality of watching and helping each other between the parties has also become their cover for the same people, and they live and die together.

In terms of the comparison of forces, the strength of the rivers and lakes is undoubtedly much weaker than that of the squire, because it has not attracted much attention, at most it is only an alliance between the rabble and the rabble. But these rivers and lakes are reckless, and they are also exerting their tenacious vitality like weeds, struggling to survive under layers of pressure, looking forward to finding an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

In Hunan, in the Wolong Mountain Hall, Tan Renfeng, a famous senior master in the rivers and lakes, looked at the big man in front of him, and reminded with a serious face: "Brother Liu, I know your ability, but this errand is really a ...... death."

"Old Tan, needless to say, Liu's life is a long life, he can avenge his dead brothers, and he can save China, and I have no regrets. It's time to settle my debt with Zhao Guanhou. The big man gritted his teeth and replied, the sun fell on his face, shining on Liu Danzi's angular face. He was not dead at the beginning, but he was pulled back from the Yin Cao, and after two years of hibernation, it was finally time for revenge. (To be continued.) )
