Chapter 467 The founding of the new dynasty, time and space change
There will be a war between China and Bite, and this is the unified understanding of the leadership of the new government in the second plane.
If you look at the world map at the end of the 19th century, you can see that the British colonies occupied almost the best territory of the New World in the world. There are as many as 10 parts of the Asian region that are closely related to China, and most of them border China, and territorial disputes may break out at any time. With the urine nature of Britain, it is almost inevitable to take the initiative to provoke contradictions.
Among them, all the ports that could berth on the main shipping lanes extending from the coast of China to Europe, West Asia, and Africa were occupied by the British. Singapore, Sri Lanka, the Indian Peninsula, the Persian Gulf, the Suez Canal, all the choke points are under its control. As long as the British did not agree, the Chinese ships could not get out of Malacca at all, because they could not find a port to dock at, they could not get any supplies, and they could not sell any goods.
Nowadays, the Sino-British contradictions have deepened to the point of irreconcilability, and it is only because the British navy and army are not sure of winning the war, and they have to be distracted to deal with the increasingly severe challenges of Germany, that they have not been able to pull his thugs and younger brothers to rush into the group fight. However, that day is not far away.
China cannot always be passive on the defensive, it is always dragged down by Britain's endless stumbling blocks, and it must take the initiative to attack, while disrupting the opponent's deployment, it also adds a little chaos to the other side by the way.
So in 1899, for the whole year, Yang Hao personally commanded and made a lot of moths against the British.
In the waters of Malacca, the Chinese navy's continuous escort and anti-piracy operations show no signs of stopping. All the warships were pulled in turns for a live exercise, from the South China Sea to the eastern exit of Malacca, and then south to the Java Sea. He often crossed the Strait of Malacca and the Sunda Strait to the Indian Ocean. Occasionally. They also run around Australia. The whole British were scared, and repeated protests were of no avail.
The British were well aware that the Chinese Navy was training its navy in a familiar state of the sea, preparing for a battle that might break out here in the future. But they were powerless to stop it, and the Dutch also held their tails as turtles with shrunken heads, for fear that a bad one would anger the Chinese and be angry and forcibly seize the Indonesian archipelago colony. This is the only remaining colony of their small beach country, and the combined naval strength of the whole country cannot defeat a single Chinese battleship. Can't afford to mess with.
In the process, Yang Hao quietly let the X401 submarine follow and walked along the coastline of the Indian Ocean. In particular, at the end of 1899, Cai Tinggan, with a submarine and two elite soldiers of the special operations team, secretly landed in the Gulf of Kuwait through a submarine transport, and suddenly attacked and killed Sheikh Mubarak al-Sabah, who was about to lease the land to the "noble British Imperial Government" in perpetuity, triggering a battle for dominance in the region. Therefore, the chaos created would last for a long time, and it would cause a lot of trouble for the British.
Unfortunately, China does not have any background in the Persian Gulf region and cannot take advantage of this opportunity to win over partners. The Germans, again, were ill-prepared. For the time being, there is no way to reach over and take advantage of the fire to rob. Wilhelm II, however, saw a sign that he was no longer as rigid and dogmatic as before. Of course, one of the reasons is that China has taken a strong stake in the Baghdad railway project and has gained considerable say in the Baghdad railway project with huge sums of money, which indirectly influences Germany's relevant political decisions.
There is no doubt that this will greatly speed up the progress of the official start of the Baghdad Railway, and will greatly promote Yang Hao's efforts in Europe.
The side effects were also obvious, and the British, apparently aware of the unusual nature of the incident, stepped up their efforts to accelerate the occupation of the Persian Gulf. There is no doubt that no country in the world has an advantage over them, not China, not the other European powers.
In addition, Yang Hao also asked the navy to secretly cross the Indian Ocean and go to South Africa to send a lot of arms to the Boers, plus a military advisory group.
This voyage of tens of thousands of nautical miles back and forth (from Jakarta to Cape Town) has greatly tested the quality of the Chinese Navy's personnel and ships. On the vast sea, there is not even a place to dock and replenish, and it can be called the first in the history of Chinese navigation to run for more than ten days in unfamiliar waters.
However, the effect was indeed excellent, and it was evident that after a long journey, the spirit of all the officers and men had increased considerably.
The tradition of the Navy is to build up such operations step by step. Always nesting in front of his own house and wandering around that there is no interest, only when he is completely away from home, facing the test of the sea alone, experiencing the baptism of wind and rain and the impact of stormy waves, can he really be regarded as a brave and good man.
Since then, a new standard of evaluation has become popular in the Chinese Navy, and only officers and soldiers who have participated in tens of thousands of nautical miles of expeditions can be regarded as qualified. The others who have only wandered around China can only be considered rookies.
Such a standard made the officers and men who operated the destroyers and frigates very frustrated, and this also stimulated a good atmosphere of competition with each other to work on cruisers and battleships one day earlier.
Yang Hao is of course happy to see this happen, and allocated special funds to support it. For China on the second plane, it is extremely rare to be able to get the last chance of colonial partition frenzy. He must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to forcefully insert a firm and unshakable nail into the ocean in the national mentality, which has been accustomed to continentalism for thousands of years. It is necessary to add maritime culture to the culture of the mainland in the time of his generation, so as to lay a solid foundation for the development of Chinese civilization.
Of course, such actions are far from sufficient to shake Britain's hegemony. If China wants to completely solve the problem of territorial security in its neighborhood, it must first completely drive out the British from the battlefield, then support the regime that is inclined to China to come to power, and then instill and infect Chinese culture bit by bit, imperceptibly influence them, and finally become the periphery of the Great Chinese cultural circle again.
It will take generations of perseverance to achieve this goal. At present, however, China's most important task is to first complete the great cause of reunification and run the railway through Guangzhou, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. After the reforms are completed, it will be extended further to the south, with the most important being Myanmar and Bangladesh. As long as the passage of the land route is opened, it can cooperate with the navy to attack from both sides. Burma, Thailand, Malaya, Bangladesh, etc., were freed from British control step by step.
This is a long national policy that lasts for at least a decade. A steady and step-by-step push is needed.
To speed things up. Yang Hao has already let the backbone elements of overseas Chinese from Nanyang infiltrate in advance to secretly develop organizations in these countries and promote a good image of China.
In addition, the religious circles in China, especially the Buddhist circles, have also been organized to carry out cultural exchanges with Southeast Asian countries, and the masters of national art have also ganged up to hold fighting competitions every now and then. Correspondingly, outstanding young people from these countries are also invited to come to China and go to university. Attend training courses, visit study tours. Such unstoppable civil actions by the British have continuously cultivated pro-China forces and laid a good foundation for promoting their national independence movement and creating a pro-China regime in the future.
Cultural transmission is an extremely effective and powerful weapon, which plays an even greater role than the cannons of giant ships and thousands of troops. From ancient times to the Ming Dynasty, whenever the emperor and ministers came to promote the strength of the Chinese Empire.
Pilgrimage and tributary activities of all nations. It is not simply for the sake of saving face, but to truly promote the superiority of force and culture to the small neighboring countries. Without using swords, they can be sincerely admired and envied. Among the several dynasties, I don't know how many Fanbang nobles were proud to have been to China and died in China. "Willing to be born as a Chinese" was once the lifelong dream of countless foreigners. This kind of history is simply an ironic contrast with the atmosphere of "willing to be born as a foreign slave" in the years before and after the 21st century.
Meals should be eaten in one bite, and things should be done step by step.
Today, most of the things in China on the second plane no longer need Yang Hao's family to intervene all the time. Under their leadership, the government agencies and military bodies that have been tempered over nearly six years have basically formed a smooth and perfect operating mechanism. For more than a year from 1898 to 1899, Yang Hao mostly only expressed his opinions on major foreign policies and important decisions, and he did not need to interfere in the implementation of details.
At the beginning of 1900, with the completion or construction of several north-south railway arteries, the revolutionary movement swept across the land of China.
They all knew very well that since Yang Hao had decided to officially establish the state on April 1, he must see that every province in the entire Chinese territory was under the control of the new government before then. Anyone who tries to take advantage of the remoteness of the region to blackmail, or intends to establish himself as a king, will become a target for killing chickens and monkeys. There was no need for the revolutionary army to come over, as long as Yang Hao signaled, some activists who tried to get into the structure of the new government jumped out and swept them mercilessly into the garbage heap of history.
In the 60 years since the Opium War, the decadence and incompetence of the Qing government have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Especially in the last ten years, Japan invaded the Ryukyus, France invaded Guangxi, attacked Taiwan, Japan provoked the First Sino-Japanese War, and Britain led the foreign powers to the door. Under the impact of wars and shocks again and again, the clumsy appearance of the Qing government, and even the exposure of the Qing government's blatant betrayal of national interests in the end, and the exposure of the face of "protecting the Qing Dynasty but not protecting China" have completely disappointed the people of insight in the upper echelons of China.
Very few people will miss the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After five or six years of uninterrupted propaganda, Yang Haotong successfully carried out the Manchu Qing Dynasty's barbaric, conservative, unenterprising, frenzied suppression of other nationalities, and destruction of Chinese culture in the minds of everyone. He ruled China for more than 250 years, and he only destroyed Chinese culture without any construction, and even distorted and tampered with it beyond recognition. This also made many scholars who have been silently and uncompromising since the Ming Dynasty feel painful, and it has become an important driving force for actively supporting the revolution of the New Dynasty.
The general trend is that the unification of China is unstoppable. Although many provinces in the southwest and northwest still have many years of work to do before the railways are opened to traffic and the reform is completed, the government agencies that have been initially established throughout the country have also been mobilized and thrown into the preparations for the great cause of nation-building.
Time flew by, and on March 30, 1900, Yang Hao entered the capital of this time and space for the first time after six years of crossing the second plane. What he saw was the world's largest and most complete medieval ancient capital that had not undergone major demolition, destruction, and did not casually add melon skin hats to the roof of the building, and was tossed alive into the No. 1 foot-washing bucket of Tianzi.
Under the unswerving policy of developing the capital into a cultural tourism center, the entire capital has maintained its original appearance. The work done by the management department is mainly reflected in the transformation of urban water supply and drainage, water, electricity and heating pipelines. Roads were reorganized and buildings facing the street were renovated. Regulate the appearance of urban residents. Repair and plan the ancient city, etc.
Nowadays, no matter which gate you enter from the capital, you will see clean streets, well-dressed residents, orderly tour groups shuttling back and forth from left to right, and residents of local shops who are warm and civilized.
A complete ancient capital of civilization, completely let go of cultural suppression, only two or three years. The whole landscape has changed dramatically. The long robe, horse coat, melon skin hat, and big braid are almost extinct, and there are many young people who like suits and leather shoes or Chinese-style modified clothing, and the old literati wear Taoist clothes in the style of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty and the style of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, and there are not a few people who hold a folding fan in their hands all year round.
The biggest change is in the female population. The new feminine trend first advocated by Yang Haixin has driven a large number of young women to wear trousers, replace the inhumane foot wrapping with high heels, and completely replace the original monotonous and bloated dress that can not see the beauty of women's lines at all.
Chinese women have been dressed as ugly for more than 200 years, and they finally have the opportunity to make their own decisions and dress up in the most beautiful way they want. This is a groundbreaking change. The most beneficial thing is not themselves, but the old men who have never seen what the "beauty of uniforms" is. Whether at home or on the street. As far as the eye can see, it is pleasing to the eye. That kind of enjoyment from the senses is enough to make them give up their perverted love for the three-inch golden lotus.
"China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua. In this way, China is called China. ”
Walking through the long street, there is the temperament of historical books and etiquette, and there is the backdrop of modern improved clothing, as if people fall into the country. Whether it is a local resident or a foreign tourist, everyone shows their best manners, and the whole capital has become a large square that fully demonstrates Chinese etiquette and culture. After the destruction and distortion of the next hundred years, there is only the retrospective and revival of thousands of years of inheritance, which is tens of millions of times the basic conditions of this world, so that Yang Hao can see the most beautiful Chinese imperial capital in his mind in just a few years.
Compared to sweeping the great powers to dominate the world, the qiē he saw in front of him seemed to give him a sense of accomplishment.
In order to ensure the true character of the capital and not develop into a foot-washing bucket for future generations, Yang Hao arbitrarily finalized the overall plan from the beginning. The whole city is used as a cultural tourism center, surrounded by six satellite cities: Changping, Fangshan, Shunyi, Tongzhou, Daxing and Mentougou, which serve as the core of major fields such as administration, commerce, industry, and education.
The central city and the satellite city are connected by a ring line and a light rail tram, each of which serves as a bridgehead to Beijing, so as to divert the flow of people and new buildings into Beijing to the greatest extent.
Such a plan ensures that even in another 100 years, there is no need to worry about the capital falling into unsolvable congestion due to overpopulation. When it comes to urban management and environmental protection, the benefits are endless.
The leadership of the new government also worked in the newly built building in the satellite city, and only temporarily moved into the hotel in the city for the founding ceremony. Because of Yang Hao's leading and exemplary role, no one dares to move their home to the capital at will, and the capital household registration is directly supervised by the government and the leadership team headed by Yang Hao. Those who cannot be called outstanding national and cultural talents cannot live in it without strict standards. Those who have already settled in it need to find ways to improve themselves in a few years.
Such a hard indicator is stuck, and no one dares to abuse power for personal gain without authorization.
Yang Hao and the members of the leadership team are all light and simple, and the arrangement is relatively simple.
On the morning of April 1, the gate of the capital was opened, and the people who were sure to participate in the ceremony drove in in an orderly manner by special buses from the suburbs. From boarding to getting off the bus, everyone was compared with their photos and fingerprints to ensure that no hostile elements would get in.
The ceremony was held in the open Forbidden City. Based on the renovation plan jointly planned by contemporary feng shui masters and architectural culture masters, a square and avenue have been built at the front gate of the Forbidden City for visitors to enjoy and hold various large-scale cultural activities.
Yang Hao took all the leading members to pay tribute to the Chinese ancestors at the Temple of Heaven, and then climbed the city tower to announce the official establishment of the Republic of China. At that time, his loud and clear voice spread throughout the country and abroad, and hundreds of thousands of people cheered in the square, symbolizing the beginning of a great era.
Subsequently, the meritorious troops carried out a majestic and majestic military parade, and under the witness of the envoys of various countries and dignitaries from all sides, they kicked the infantry phalanx that was marching high-spirited, the motorized phalanx with machine guns and artillery in cars, and the heavy weapon phalanx with heavy trucks and large-caliber heavy artillery rumbling past.
Yang Hao was proud, this copied the training subjects of the 99 military parade, under the backdrop of the heroic new green military uniform, the white gloves and black military boots swing neatly, the neat pace that shook the earth, the thick and fierce cannon barrel, and the incredible mechanical power, all represent the powerful force that New China has, invincible!
More than a dozen large curtains at the scene also showed footage of the Navy parade filmed on film, and aerial footage of the formation led by four battleships, which made people stunned!
At the end of the ceremony, Yang Hao suddenly received a reminder from "Yan Huang Ding" that their family had a mission to travel through time and space and complete a key node. The new China of the second plane has the foundation of self-evolution, and it is about to rely on this world.
The flow velocities of the two space-times began to become asymmetrical. (To be continued......)
