Chapter 264: The British Dynasty and the Hindi Gilly
Perfunctory White Swallow, Li Shi summoned important people to solve this problem all night, the country is there, what about the country name?
Outside the Qingpu building, the lights are bright, the carriages and horses are uncertain, the flag has been raised, and the soldiers have to move, this matter can not be ambiguous, Li Xi has already negotiated the charter with Fan Jin and others, and Fan Jin urged him to do it overnight.
On the highest floor of the building, Li Xi began to have a happy headache.
Originally, there was nothing troublesome, at least in the eyes of Duan Hongshi, Liu Xingchun, Su Wencai, and even Xu Lingti, Xue Xue and other scholars who also participated in the meeting, this was not a problem at all.
"Ying!?"
Although he expected it, when he heard this word, Li Xi still felt slightly dizzy, do you really want to call this?
"I am in the middle of China, and the name of the founding of the country is nothing more than two ways, either the place of origin, or the knighthood of the previous dynasty, and the two are often two and one things."
Duan Hongshi began to lecture.
"In ancient times, Tang Yao, with the Tao Tang where he lived, Yu was named Xia Bo, and then there was Xia, and Yu helped Yu to control the water, and was sealed in Shang, and then in Shang Dynasty Xia, the ancient prince moved Ji's surname to Zhou Yuan, and there was Zhou."
"And then the next thing, you are all familiar with it, the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang won Hanzhong, called the King of Han, and then there was Han. Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang were all knighted, but Yang Jian's father Yang Zhong was awarded the title of "Duke of Suiguo", and in order to go to the meaning of "go" to "follow", he changed it to Sui. Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, and also took the title of his envoy to the Song Prefecture. ”
Speaking of this, Duan Hongshi sighed.
"To the former Ming Dynasty, this Ming No. 1, but mixed with the righteousness of the wrong way, originally from the White Lotus Sect, but also entrusted to the righteousness of Taizu's birth in the Bright Sect, which is quite appropriate, as for this Yuan and Qing, ......"
He pouted and shook his head.
"One takes the number from the sentence 'Dazai Qianyuan' in the Book of Changes, and the other ponders on the five elements, to extinguish the fire with water, and to cover the Ming with clear, and the two country names are rootless sources. Barbarians are barbarians, and it can be seen from the country name that they are not Zhengshuo! ”
Not only the previous Great Yuan, but now the Qing court is not Zhengshuo! These words were loud and clear, and An Jinzhi, Gu Xiyi, and Liu Xingzhao, who were still trembling, also settled down a little in their hearts.
The old man's short lesson made Li Xian's forehead sweat, and the more he listened to it, the more he couldn't get rid of that word?
The old man asserted: "Our country is based on Yingde, and Yingde is Yingzhou in the Tang and Song dynasties, and this number is good!" ”
Su Wencai nodded again and again: "Ying, Hua Ye, stand out, what everyone wants, it is an excellent word!"
Xue Xue, who had been studying the Divine Way by the old man's side, was very excited: "This English character is used in the name of the country, and it is unique in ancient times!" It's such a coincidence, it's providence! ”
These three people are pantothenic acid, and Li Xian's heart is also sour.
Hero!?
From now on, he will be called the King of England, the Emperor!? Is his kingdom called the British Dynasty? The British Empire? And his army, too, turned into a "British army"?
In his own case, this creates a serious substitution bias...... In a certain year, a certain month, the "British army" captured Yanjing, captured the Qing chief Kangxi, and recovered the land of China?
In a certain year and a certain month, "I, Great Britain" were congratulated by the Western Continent countries, and there were envoys from the following countries: England?
In a certain year, a certain month, the "Emperor" ascended the throne, and the "British King" sent a congratulatory telegram?
Li Shi had to point out the problem: "There are Western countries called England and Ingaly, and this English word has been used. ”
As soon as the words came out, he realized that something was wrong.
Sure enough, not only Duan Hongshi, Su Wencai, and Xue Xue, but also others, even An Jinzhi, showed disapproving looks on their faces.
"The country of Yidi, how to call it in my Chinese language, is it not up to me to determine the Chinese people? In the future, the English will be renamed the Indian Gilly! ”
Duan Hongshi said angrily, and at the same time, he didn't quite understand, why did Li Shi brazenly snatch the name "Catholicism" from Yangyi's head before, but now this country name is stunned? Ying, what a name, thank God, no one has used it before!
"That...... Think again and see if there's a better one. ”
Li Xianxin said, teacher, you are so ruthless! This change, my substitution is getting more and more chaotic, Ingili? When the time comes, we will go to war with John Bull, will it become the British army against the Indian army? What about the original Ah San?
He also lamented in his heart, this English word is really good, and it conforms to the naming rules of the Chinese Dynasty, and the meaning is also very appropriate, I hate those flattering foreign readers! It's just a matter of translating Roman Catholicism into Catholicism, and the names of foreigners' countries, such as England, France, Germany, America, and Italy, are what words are used in the United States! Especially this Britain, as a "poster" for 300 years, the traces imprinted by the name "Britain" are too deep for him to erase at all.
"For example...... How about using Han? ”
He chose a big road goods with a weak heart, and then he was blinded by Duan Hongshi.
"Eight hundred years ago, there was also a Han in Guangdong, and that Han did not have a good reputation. What's more, your surname is Li ......"
Duan Hongshi said that if you want to succeed the Han Dynasty, you must have the so-called legal system, at least the surname Liu, so that you can climb to Han Gaozu.
"Where's Natsu?"
This Li Shi himself denied it, his surname is Li, and this Xia went straight to Western Xia, isn't this equivalent to re-raising the banner of Li Zicheng and Li Chuangwang?
"What about Hua?"
This should be harmonious, but everyone shook their heads, not to mention that it is irrelevant, it is not orthodox, and it is not enough to have Hua, such as Yinghua, China, and Huaxia, without another word to support it, it is flashy and unrealistic...... "Tang!" ”
is surnamed Li, and it is the prosperous country of China, it should be appropriate, but not only is everyone dissatisfied, Li Xi is also unwilling, the descendants have used it too much, there is nothing new, and he has to climb the old fool Li Yuan as the ancestor ......" two words are okay! China, China, and even four words, the kingdom of heaven in China or something......"
Li Shi gritted his teeth, he wants to be dictatorial in this matter! The Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire, the old routine, familiar to you.
"Oh...... In this way, I'm afraid I have to be the enemy of the people who read all over the world. ”
Duan Hongshi also gritted his teeth, and this "scholar" naturally included himself.
Li Shi was discouraged, that's right, one word is respectful, and two words don't feel orthodox, let alone four words. Although in some things, he really wants to be the enemy of the scholars all over the world, but he has not yet figured out that he wants to add the name of the country to add more enemies and greater resistance.
The power of the Chinese tradition is clearly revealed in this name, and the original intention of Li Shi's rebellion was not only to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and inherit the Chinese people. The country name is one of the most important things in the tradition, and it is impossible for him to completely break the tradition on it. In the face of everyone's incomprehensible questioning gaze of his rejection of the word "English", Li Xi was very frustrated.
"Yingde Yingde, Yingde, in addition to Ying, there is virtue, let's talk about this heavenly way, morality is one, I think it's not bad to call virtue!"
Yiming Lao Dao came to a stroke, everyone was stunned, and suddenly said Okay, I am very virtuous...... Not bad either!
Li Shi coughed twice, feeling that he was on the verge of vomiting blood, and quickly shook his hand, from English to Germany, this conversion was too fast.
"Just shouted! We are pursuing the way of heaven, and we will show the world with the name of the country! ”
Xu Lingti also followed Yiming's old way, and then provoked Su Wencai, Xue Xue and others to grin at him, saying that he was about to fall into the devil.
As Li Xian expected, all meanings, laws, and beauty came again, and there was also a proposal to call it "heaven" bluntly, which made Li Xi shudder.
"If it doesn't work, just call it 'Li'......"
"It's okay to call it 'wanton'."
Guan Feng Shengtian Dayu also made a lot of fun, they couldn't make so many fancy things, and directly wrote an article on Li Shi himself.
But this is the position of the scholars, and even Xu Lingti participated in the besieging of them. We want to establish Huaxia Zhengshuo, how can we be like those surrounding feudal states, with a surname as a name? You must know that Yao Shunyu of the three generations of ancient times has the same surname and different name, which is about the foundation of the legal system!
"Why don't you use English words!?"
After a big turn, all the words were pulled out, but Li Shi still shook his head, everyone was silent, they all looked at Li Shi quietly, and they all cast the same look, this word, how good!
In the face of everyone's eager and complaining eyes, Li Xianxin said, yes, I was forced to the palace by the army during the day, and now I am forced to the palace by you guys in charge, and I am about to take the throne, but I am full of bitterness and have nowhere to complain...... "Outside the banner, how high should this flag be raised, what do you think?" ”
Li Shi had no choice but to talk about it left and right.
Fortunately, this question is also crucial, and it has temporarily attracted everyone's attention.
Li Shi said it awkwardly, and this sentence translated, that is, "Should I be called king or emperor?" ”
He didn't twist, in fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he was depressed about the country name, and he felt a little apprehensive about the answer, and wanted to reconfirm it.
"How can no emperor become a country?"
Duan Hongshi asked rhetorically, Li Xian was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the old man broke one sentence into two paragraphs and did not finish speaking.
"But now he is called the emperor, and he should be crowned by a monkey ......"
After a moment of silence, Li Xi had to admit that even if he occupied Guangzhou City, he would only own half of the province of Guangdong, so he would become the emperor in this way, and he felt that it was a bit of a child's play. Besides, raising the flag is one case, and claiming the emperor is another, both of which are major political moves, and the two are thrown out together, which is too wasteful.
But isn't that inconsistent? If you don't call yourself emperor, where does you come from? It is not even necessary to discuss the country name.
"Establish the country first, only call the king, and wait for the situation to change, imitating the three generations of the old system before the first emperor, the best of both worlds."
Duan Hongshi's words, Li Xian nodded again and again, and after learning, the crooked stomach of a scholar can really say anything.
This strategy was decided, and how to write the article sparked another wave of heated discussions, so that everyone temporarily put aside the matter of the national name.
"Of course, it is to expel the Tartars and restore China!"
Liu Xingzhao joined in the discussion, and casually moved out Zhu Yuanzhang's slogan of begging Meng Yuanxuan, and Su Wencai, Gu Xiyi and others nodded.
"No, it's the way of heaven, and the punishment is uneven!"
Liu Xingchun had a different opinion from his brother, this slogan, Yi Ming Lao Dao and Xu Lingti Xue Xue and others nodded.
"What's the difference?"
Guan Fengsheng, Tian Daiyu and others feel more and more that reading people are troublesome.
"Of course there is a difference!"
People on both sides spoke in unison.
