In the past ten days, Shi Dakai and Lin Haifeng have conducted extensive discussions on the future military and economic strategy of the Celestial Empire.

In military affairs, although Lin Haifeng was familiar with history, he did not simply deal with it, but used the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Intelligence Department of the Eastern Expeditionary Army under his control to do a down-to-earth practical work, often before the army was far away from the battlefield and even had a near-term plan for it, the intelligence personnel of the Celestial Empire had already penetrated into the hinterland of the Qing army. As early as June last year, the personnel sent by Lin Haifeng had already arrived in Guangdong, and it was precisely because of the prompting of the liaison personnel sent by the Celestial Empire that the more than 20,000 righteous troops of He Lu, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, did not entangle with the Qing army too much in Guangdong, but fought all the way to Guangxi, and joined the ranks of the Western Expeditionary Army in southern Hunan.

In view of He Lu's uprising and the huge momentum of the Taiping Army, the Heaven and Earth Associations in Guangdong mobilized people and horses one after another, preparing to erect flags in response. It was again the liaison officers of the Celestial Empire who arrived in time, and Chen Kai of Foshan, Li Wenmao, Chen Xianliang and other leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society in the suburbs of Guangzhou postponed the plan of the uprising and waited to cooperate with the Celestial Army moving south.

This qiē made Shi Dakai sincerely admire. Just imagine, Xianfeng sent a Su Shun to Guangzhou, in order to resist the Heavenly Army, large-scale expansion of the army, looting people's wealth, the burden of the people everywhere is still a hundred times more than before. When the well-prepared Heavenly Army goes to Guangdong in both directions, Heaven and Earth will come to another center to bloom, how many people will join the ranks of the Heavenly Army? Just as Lin Haifeng said, the battles in Liangguang and other places are just a military training.

Quickly recovered Liangguang, Yunnan and Guizhou, lived in the Yangtze River, used northern Hubei and northern Anhui to contain and consume the Qing army, and then used elite troops to attack Sichuan, and used and fought for two to three years to develop the economy of the Celestial Empire. What will it look like after that?

Through the introduction of Lin Haifeng, the development of Tianjing, especially Shanghai, has brought more joy to Shi Dakai. Replace the previous handicraft industry with various machines, encourage farming, vigorously develop new-style schools, popularize education, and improve the cultural level of the entire nation while cultivating talents. Jiangnan is rich, Bashu is fertile, and with a strong economy as the backing, the Celestial Empire will have a comprehensive qualitative leap.

The Manchus were not opponents of the Celestial Empire, and the ultimate opponents of the Celestial Empire were not from the Manchus, but those foreign enemies who coveted the Celestial Empire. Without a strong national defense force and a complete personnel management system, the reunification of great achievements can only add trouble to oneself. Shi Dakai fully agrees with Lin Haifeng's consideration. Conquering the world is to sit firmly in the world, not a flash in the pan.

However, since the last time the two of them mentioned the topic of the future politics of the Celestial Empire, Shi Dakai has been avoiding this topic. Now, Lin Haifeng is leaving, and he feels the need to talk about it again.

After the parade, Shi Dakai and Lin Haifeng left the city with the reins, and several guards followed from afar.

"After almost two years of adaptation, the new official system must be implemented immediately, and the brother and the elder brother will give the East King a twist together." Shi Dakai looked at Lin Haifeng and said.

"Yes, the top-down system is going to be changed immediately." The whip in Lin Haifeng's hand was flicked casually, "After Liangguang is taken, the eldest brother should also return to Tianjing as soon as possible to preside over the military command." ”

"Hehe, the current qiē is temporarily under the control of the East King, isn't it also good?" Shi Da laughed.

"Dongwang's health is not very good now, everything is pressing on him, and he is very tired." Lin Haifeng knew that Shi Dakai's impression of Yang Xiuqing had not changed much.

Lin Haifeng, Zheng Nan and Yang Xiuqing have a very close relationship, which Shi Dakai is clear. However, the reason for this intimacy is that he understands it in his heart. Yang Xiuqing likes dictatorship, but it is just Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan who don't like this, with the support of these two figures, Yang Xiuqing can naturally better put the king aside. This is also the reason why Yang Xiuqing is willing to turn a blind eye to Lin Haifeng's borrowing of the banner of the king of heaven in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places to promote his thoughts.

He had been worried about one thing. The king of heaven seems to ignore all the government affairs, but in fact, he may not really give up. Lately, the King has frequently sent himself personal letters, but nothing more than a few polite and high-sounding encouragements. Shi Dakai is not a foolish person, of course he understands what the Heavenly King's intentions are. In addition, there is also Wei Changhui in northern Anhui, who is also abnormal, borrowing himself to explain Luzhou to him, and begins to flatter himself, and occasionally complains about Lin Haifeng's flickering words.

Sooner or later, there will be a big mess in Tianjing.

Lin Haifeng completely handed over the troops he had carefully assembled to himself at this time, which was actually to show himself that his relationship with himself was extraordinary.

"Brother, we are not outsiders, there are some things I can't help but say directly." Shi Dakai sighed softly, "The Heavenly King is the symbol of the Heavenly Empire, and without the Heavenly King, there would be no Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." Brother's thoughts, brother, I can't say that it's wrong, the Celestial Empire is to make the people live a good life, but equality has limits. ”

"Little brother didn't say he didn't want the king." Lin Haifeng looked at Shi Dakai and blinked his eyes, "The Heavenly King created the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and his exploits are unmatched. As for equality, there are limits, and there is never absolute equality. I just want to say that the future Celestial Empire must be owned by the people and not by any individual. Of course, such a thing is not a one-step process, it will take a long and tortuous process, maybe it will be like this in the end. ”

"And what do you envision the Celestial Empire to look like?"

"It's not that I imagined, but that the people who are gradually becoming aware will think and do this." Lin Haifeng pointed to the undulating mountains in front of him, "Imperial power is like a big mountain, which has been weighing heavily on the heads of the people for thousands of years, making the people breathless." In order to overthrow this oppression, our predecessors have also shed blood and struggled like us, but each time is just a historical reincarnation, the alternation of new imperial power. For thousands of years, the culture left to us by our ancestors has good things, it tells us to be moral, love peace, respect the elders and love the young, and so on. But there are also a lot of bad things. These things have always affected a lot of people. ”

Lin Haifeng stared at Shi Dakai, "Confucianism governs the country, and it has never respected the law, and it is known as the foundation of morality and the end of the law. Dong Zhongshu's Spring and Autumn Prison Sentence is the ruthless trampling of the rule of law on the rule of law. What is advocated for the concealment of father and son is even more regarded as child's play. Confucian scholars advocate moral restraint, can a person control his own selfish desires? And aren't we now following the same path of man's rule? The rules of heaven are only for the following, but for the people who make them, is it still useful? The future Celestial Empire will rely on the law to govern the country, and everyone will be under the law. There is no question of the punishment of the doctor, and it is not a matter of the prince breaking the law and the same crime as the people, all people must submit to the law, you, me, and the king. If the king of heaven is the symbol of the Celestial Empire, then yes, but the king of heaven must be chosen by the people themselves. In fact, the reason is very simple, if the king of heaven finally passes on the throne to his heir one day, is the king of heaven not the king of heaven? In the same way, the hat of the King of Heaven can be worn on anyone's head, as long as he can satisfy the people of the world. ”

"How can that be?" Shi Dakai knew that Lin Haifeng must say this sooner or later, but when he heard it, he was still surprised.

"Can't you?" Lin Haifeng laughed, "Well, all the thrones, as a symbol of honor, are left to everyone for life, to commemorate their hard work for the birth of the Celestial Empire." However, it is absolutely not inherited. ”

"Have you ever thought about it, Tianjing will be in chaos because of this." Shi Dakai's face became heavy.

"Tenkyo has never been truly quiet." Lin Haifeng shook his head, "As long as the people live well, there will always be people who lose something, and they are never reconciled." ”

"Make Tianjing peaceful and not cause chaos, this is your original intention, and it will not be ......" Shi Dakai looked at Lin Haifeng suspiciously.

"The eldest brother is wrong, and the younger brother's original intention has never changed. But sometimes the development of things is not subject to human will. Lin Haifeng sighed, "This is the reason why the eldest brother must return to Tianjing." Together, we have to work out a constraint that the movement of the army cannot follow the orders of any one individual. Only when the army is stable can Tianjing be stable. As the situation in the Celestial Empire improves, the selfishness of individual people will naturally swell, and this is probably the only thing we can do. ”

Shi Dakai was silent.

Lin Haifeng looked at Shi Dakai, "Some people suspect that the first person who is publicly willing to part ways with the Celestial Empire must be me, wrong, I, Lin Haifeng, will always be loyal to the Celestial Empire, because this Celestial Empire is the Celestial Empire of the people." I handed over the army to you, and by the way, I also dispelled some people's scruples, hehe, I can't rebel alone with my bare hands, right? ”

Seeing that Shi Dakai didn't speak, he asked, "Have you read the book that the younger brother gave to the eldest brother some time ago?" ”

"Looked." Shi Dakai nodded.

"Since the eldest brother started the army in Jintian, many relatives have sacrificed their lives in the field, won't it be in exchange for a crown on his head?"

"I'm for the Celestial Empire." Shi Dakai glanced at Lin Haifeng.

"Yes," Lin Haifeng looked up at the sky, "To be honest, if it was to protect an emperor, maybe the heavens wouldn't have let us have the kind of coincidence we had at that time." ”
