In the land recovered by the Imperial Army, the new dynasty made the common people still muttered a lot about how to call their own court, called Dazhong? It's a bit rustic, so it's called the New Dynasty? It can't always be called the new dynasty, besides, Wang Mang still has the first place, don't get me wrong. Later, a propaganda commissioner casually said, "It's called Empire." Therefore, in the streets and alleys, the small people of Shengdou all opened their mouths and closed their mouths to the empire.

This propaganda commissar is definitely the most peculiar group of people in the empire, this group of people is everywhere, and they can be seen in every village and every street. Almost every one of these people is a good speaker, and few can speak better than them in a debate. The propaganda committee members talk about current political news, and they absolutely do not tell lies, so many people call them "truth-tellers."

The fact that Shanghai and Guangdong have been able to implement the new policy so smoothly after implementing it is inseparable from the fact that these propaganda committee members have a huge number of people and tremendous energy.

At this time, it was the end of April 1831, and the Imperial Army had occupied Guangdong for more than a year, and the city of Guangzhou today had a bit of what it was like in the Republic of China. Braids on the streets have become less and less, and only some older and stubborn people still drag their big braids. Jing Cha didn't care, zhèngfu didn't say, someone asked why he didn't care, and the propaganda committee members were unanimous: "This is the people's ziyou." ”

Convenient and beautiful Western-style clothing has basically reached the popularity, only in Guangzhou City, there are more than 30 garment factories and quilt factories, the price is not very expensive, the people's pockets have gradually bulged since the New Deal, and clothes can be bought.

There are even some people who have the legacy of the previous dynasty changed into the costumes of the Ming Dynasty and walked around the streets, and everyone found it interesting to watch.

Nowadays, people in Guangzhou will never show their surprised eyes, because once they show their surprised eyes, they will be laughed at by others, so no matter how grotesque, everyone forces themselves to accept it, and says: "How others do it is someone else's ziyou." ”

Of course, there are also some people who use the slogan of ziyou to obstruct others, and these people have been arrested by Uncle Jingcha.

In addition, the empire did not oppress or retaliate against the Manchus in its territory, giving them the same rights as ziyou, but for those Manchus with criminal records, the empire sent them to the empire's colonies for colonization activities.

Lin Hong hadn't walked on the street like an ordinary person for a long time, he changed into civilian clothes today, and only brought an SSS-level spy as a bodyguard to go out on a tour of the streets, he had already visited Shanghai before.

"I really can't imagine that in just half a year, the world has been turned upside down, I don't know if the power of the people is too great, or the power of the system is too great."

Lin Hong saw that it was noon, and the Five Organs Temple needed to be sacrificed, and when he saw the Sichuan hot pot in front of him, he stepped in.

This kind of modern catering was brought by the system, and some of them settled in Guangzhou, opened one strange restaurant, one after another, and opened a garment store, and led to the development of the cháo stream.

Cantonese people are not too spicy, but since the emergence of Sichuan hot pot, many Cantonese people have switched to xing. Even the guy from Sichuan was asked if this Sichuan hot pot was authentic. Then the Sichuan people said, we don't have this there. But the turtle's son is really delicious.

In the afternoon, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, accompanied by the Minister of Industry, visited the military factory. His Majesty the Emperor expressed his sincere appreciation to the workers of the military factory for their hard work and courage in tackling key problems. His Majesty cordially greeted the workers' representatives and their families, and accompanied by the relevant personnel of the military factory, tried the newly developed individual rifle Imperial Type 31.

This was written in the newspapers, and the common people were amazed that they could learn about the current political news of the whole of Guangdong and the movements of His Majesty the Emperor on a daily basis, and the emergence of newspapers and related media quickly cultivated some literati writers of the current political party. In the end, these guys were not satisfied with private discussions, and even joined forces to run a newspaper, which further promoted the development of the newspaper industry.

At present, the newspapers in the empire are mainly the official "Imperial Ribao", the "Declaration" in Shanghai, and the "Yangcheng Evening News" in Guangzhou.

In fact, Lin Hong's visit to the Guangzhou Military Factory this time was not so big at all. Because the military factory he visited was a system military factory, and there was not a single local, but the Imperial Newspaper, which was the official newspaper of Zhèngfu, was still "faithfully" reported.

After reading the latest rifle Imperial Type 31, Lin Hong didn't have any special feelings, these improved versions of the rear-loading muskets to be equipped with ordinary soldiers are still single-shot rifles, but in terms of workmanship, they are far stronger than similar guns. The rate of mute fire decreased, the accuracy increased, and Lin Hong had to make the decision to change the way the infantry fought.

The Imperial Type 31 uses a metal shell and a zhongyāng-style primer, which has a fast muzzle velocity and greater power. However, due to system limitations, the Type 31 rifle was re-fired and the soldier had to open the flap to remove the cartridge case and reload it. Although this rifle was a little behind the later Henry and Snain, it was 1832 and even the Dreiser had not yet been seen. Lin Hong believes that by the time Europe began to convert the front to the rear of the big cháo, he would probably have made repeating rifles and machine guns.

Production of the Imperial Type 31 began rapidly, and in all the state-run military factories, the rifle became the main object of production, and in April alone, 30,000 soldiers had already been reequipped with the Type 31. As for the eliminated smoothbore guns and front-loading rifled guns, Lin Hong sent merchants to sell them everywhere, and even sold them to the Qing State, he didn't care.

"It's not a weapon that determines victory or defeat." Lin Hong explained-

Dividing Line –

At the beginning of 1832, at the State Council of the Chinese Empire, Emperor Lin Hong and the main cabinet headed by Zuo Yu held an imperial meeting on the development of the country.

"Your Majesty, in our planning, Shanghai, Guangdong Province and Hainan Province have entered the orbit, and the transformation and construction of industrial society is also being smoothly implemented. At present, we have started the construction of the railway ahead of schedule, and the first indigenous people captured from the Philippines have already started work. However, with our national strength, the encroachment policy set at the beginning is no longer suitable, and it is impossible for the empire to be confined to less than one million square kilometers in two provinces, so I and my cabinet members hope that you will make a long-term plan for the development of the empire. Prime Minister Zuo Yu spoke first.

"That's right," Lin Hong prepared his rhetoric and said, "Our ultimate goal in five to ten years is undoubtedly to recover the whole territory of China, which is actually not a problem for us, but how to deal with internal affairs and people's ideological problems is more tricky. ”

Zuo Yu interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, please rest assured, we have enough staff, even if you enter Běijing tomorrow, we are confident that we will solve it." ”

Lin Hong originally thought that Zuo Yu was joking, but when he glanced at all the cabinet members in the conference room, they all looked serious, and he had to smile bitterly.

"Okay, I will reconsider the issue of recovering China in the short term, Prime Minister, please ask the Minister of War and the General Staff Headquarters to draw up a plan, the specific content of which is to recruit about 200,000 troops in the short term to complete the strategy of Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Fujian and Jiangxi." Lin Hong said quietly.

Zuo Yu said: "Obey, Your Majesty, your will is our pursuit." ”
