Chapter 912

One after another, as long as the people who are still alive and related to Chen Xie, they all came to Jingshi. After such a process lasted for half a year, Chen Xie officially announced his resignation, and Chen Zilong finally reached the extreme of being a minister in the twilight of his life.

After his resignation, Chen Xie stepped down as the leader of the Baath Party, because Zhang Guangde, who had achieved excellent diplomatic achievements in Europe and had won huge benefits for the Ming Dynasty, became the leader of the party. In fact, this is telling the party members of the world that this is the successor. And before officially leaving office, Chen Xie made a rule in the party constitution that party leaders must have experience in diplomatic work.

Why this article was set up, outsiders have no way of knowing. There is a general belief within the Baath Party that what Daming is most worried about now is not the internal environment, but the need for leaders to have a vision for the world. It is difficult for a leader who does not know enough about the world and has not dealt with foreigners to lead the party and even the country in the right direction.

On the day of his official resignation, Chen Xie appeared in the National Assembly and delivered a speech. The speech discussed the international and domestic forms, pointing out that the future of the Ming Dynasty lies in the sea, in the overseas colonies, in education, and in science and technology (Gewu). Chen Xie started with Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, and talked about the opportunity that Da Ming missed at the beginning. It was precisely because of the lack of foresight of the politicians at that time, for their own interests, under the noble banner of serving the country, that the Ming Dynasty went to the world and thus became rich and powerful. Because of the mistake of this decision, the Ming Dynasty gave up the sea, gave up a lot of wealth, and almost lost the national honor for 200 years. In the end, Chen Xie said to the full house of parliamentarians and officials in a frustrated manner: "We have opened the door to control the world, and if someone proposes a policy of closing the country under the pretext of governing the country in the future, I would like to emphasize here that this country is also a thief." Everybody gets it! ”

Subsequently, the parliament passed a bill in the form of legislation, and the two houses unanimously passed a bill that would punish anyone who proposed to close the country to the country and not be released on bail. This one. It was written directly into the Constitution.

After Chen Xie left office, Daming entered a new era, an era without Chen Xie politically. Chen Xie, who left office, did not lock up in Xishan to recuperate, but left the Beijing Division with a group of people. After arriving in Tianjin by train, it turned to Liaodong, passing through Pyongyang and Seoul to Incheon, and from there crossed the sea to Edo. Everywhere Chen Xie went, the people spontaneously greeted him along the way. When you arrive in Shenyang. Thirty miles along the way, the people set up incense cases and burned incense, which did not disperse for a day. In the minds of the people of Liaodong, Chen Xie is the Buddha of ten thousand families. The immigrants of that year saved the lives of countless people. There are thousands of Chen Gong Ancestral Halls in Liaodong, all of which were built spontaneously by the people.

On the day I arrived in Edo, the city was empty and the wharves were crowded. Hundreds of thousands of people knelt neatly to greet the "King of Dongying". The people of Dongying to this day. is still with Chen Xie as the king. After a week's stay in Edo, Chen Xie diverted to Nagasaki and sailed to North America on a new warship. The people and even the entire Ming Dynasty seem to have a consensus on this path, that is, Chen Xiang is going home. This time, Chen Xiang is really leaving Daming. Leave everyone.

After Chen Xie's itinerary was announced in the newspaper, hundreds of people wept bitterly. Chen Xiang returned from North America overseas, and the mainstream view of the people has long concluded that Chen Xiang is an extraordinary person and returned under the pretense of North America. Now he will return with a crane.

Anyway, there are various theories, and there are countless folk versions, and they all end up in one place, that is, immortals.

The Forbidden City was still gloomy, holding a letter in his hand, Zhu Cihong, who was no longer young, looked at the Forbidden City in the sunset, and it was difficult to make a decision for a long time. Should you open this letter? This is before Chen Xie left, he sent it to the emperor. Chen Xie left, but Zhu Cihong was not happy, and even a little scared. Chen Xie is in the position of prime minister, and his life and life are guaranteed. Chen Xie left, and his successor would not indulge him in the slightest. The benefits are too great, so big that no one will be merciful. It can be said that since the birth of the Parliament, it has been impossible for the country to go back to the past, still less to have a so-called emperor who is dictatorial and arbitrary. The royal family of the Ming Dynasty has been obsessed with everyone in the past few decades. There may be ordinary people who think they are superior, but the ministers of the court and the people of insight in the society will never relax the slightest bit about the royal family.

Zhu Cihong finally opened the envelope, held the letter with trembling hands, and read it silently.

"I'm gone, and I won't take anything with me. The biggest difference between you and me is that you think that the world is a world of one family, and I think that the world is the world of people under heaven. If you want to have a good death, then announce that you will move out of the Forbidden City, hand over this place that used to symbolize the supremacy of imperial power to the cabinet, and open it to the outside world, so that ordinary people can also come in and have a look. If you can do this, the symbol of the supremacy of the Ming Dynasty will always be surnamed Zhu. Parting heartfelt words, accept or not, in you. ”

Whether Zhu Cihong accepted this suggestion or not, Chen Xie didn't know at all. Because at this time, he was already on the sea, looking at the endless Pacific Ocean, blowing the sea breeze, to the east, and then to the east. There were five battleships escorting the escort, all of which were the latest cruisers. According to Chen Xie's meaning, there was no need for escort at all, but the navy repeatedly insisted, and Chen Xie finally gave up. It's all at this point, and it's no fun to be a child again.

When he arrived in Hawaii, Chen Xie deliberately stayed for a few days, climbed the mountain, and looked at Pearl Harbor condescendingly. I've only seen it in movies before, but this time I came to the scene in person, so I naturally wanted to see it. However, the current Pearl Harbor is not far from the movie. There are not many buildings, there are no airfields, and there are no aircraft carriers and radar stations.

The bay contained only piers and barracks, and on the hill there were fort batteries erected with the latest fortified guns, caliber 150 and 105. The current weights and measures of Daming are still a bit messy, and the old sizes are still used by the people. But schools and factories, because of the needs of industry, were all changed. The government also uses the metric system, and Chen Xie believes that in another 30 years, the old things will be gone.

The sea breeze is blowing, looking at the scenery in front of him, Chen Xie is not ambitious and intense, and he is not in the mood to write a poem. On the contrary, it is very calm, the trip to the Ming Dynasty, everything that should be done has been done, and what should not have been done has also been done. All along, Chen Xie didn't care about what others said, just did what he thought was right. Or do what you think is right according to the actual situation.

Many people think that it is a miracle that Chen Xie did not become emperor, but in fact, Chen Xie never thought about becoming an emperor at all. As long as Chen Xie is here, the emperor will eventually become a symbolic thing, so why bother future generations and let them be this emperor who is in the limelight and has no fun? Democracy, whether it is a one-party correction or a multi-party rotation in power, will eventually embark on this road. But it is not between intra-party democracy and extra-party democracy, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad, at least Chen Xie feels that he can't see it. Where will the future of Daming go, let's let it be.

Standing on the fort, holding a fortress cannon in one hand, the people behind Chen Xie were ten meters away from him, and no one came forward to disturb his thoughts. In fact, Chen Xie at this time didn't have any thoughts, he just had a thought. Easily complete a global trip, and if you don't have that ability, don't miss this opportunity in this plane. Otherwise, who knows when that guy will show up and take himself away with a whoosh?

What does the future hold, what does the future hold? Chen Xie can't even figure out his own future, does he care about others?

No one bothered, Chen Xie was easily caught in cranky thoughts, and the "watch" on his wrist vibrated slightly again, but there was no whirlpool in the air, and it was still calm after a few vibrations. But the frequency is much faster than before, half a year ago there was one earthquake a day, and now it is three times a day. This is also the reason why Chen Xie has to keep speeding up the pace and handing over again. You can't wait for yourself to disappear suddenly, and the whole Ming Dynasty will be blind, right?

After seeing Pearl Harbor, Chen Xie continued eastward, and when the battleship arrived in the mountains, he learned the good news that there was no need to take the battleship around Cape Horn in South America. Chen Pu, a big capitalist in North America, went crazy in order to build the Pacific Railroad. Fifty "laborers" were used, the main force of which were Native Americans, and there was no shortage of whites from Western countries.

When Chen Xie got off the ship, Chen Pu excitedly reported the good news that the Pacific Railroad had been repaired to Chicago. Further back, you can also enjoy the fun of horseback riding, in fact, horseback riding is not comfortable at all, but America is so big, Chen Xie wants to see it. In the mountains, Chen Xie was also given a grand welcome, and the most enthusiastic among them were not Chinese, but those Japanese.

In the minds of the Japanese, Chen Xie is their god. Without Chen Xie, the king of Dongying, the Japanese would not have had the opportunity to come to the Americas, they would not have had the opportunity to share the land, and they would not have had the opportunity to make rice and white noodles casually. There is no chance to become an army officer and soldier of the Ming Dynasty and earn a military salary and the social status of the family. Let's put it this way, the Japanese are the fastest ethnic group to integrate into the Ming Dynasty, and they are also the most thorough ethnic group. A person of Japanese descent, in public, it is better to call him a Ming person, not a Ming person. Otherwise, these grandchildren will really be very unhappy, very unhappy. They were even more upset when the people who called them that way were non-Chinese.

The train was speeding across the wilderness of North America, and Chen Xie had been sitting quietly, looking out the window. Chen Pu stood quietly aside, he had known a series of things that had happened in China for a long time. At this time, Chen Pu was the most worried person, because in North America, his power was so great that all the governors heard that he was coming, and they had to go to the gate to greet him. 、

As the largest heavy industry giant in North America, Chen Pu can come to this point, and the key point is Chen Xie's support, otherwise how to get 30 million funds from Dafa Bank for his development in North America. It is even more impossible to realize the railway shares in Chen Xie's hands and take them to North America for development.

"Chen Pu! Remember what I said, North America can only be a part of the Ming Dynasty. Chen Xie said very suddenly, Chen Pu trembled, and slowly knelt down and said, "Grandson remembers." (To be continued.) )
