Chapter 21 Orthodox Succession
There is no orthodoxy in China, and the royal bloodline is orthodox, so the overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period, in fact, are all descendants of the Zhou family, and they are all descendants of the royal family.
At that time, between heaven and earth, there seemed to be a special classification of bloodlines. There are those who are destined to stand at the pinnacle of life as soon as they are born, and there are also those who are destined to have no hope for the rest of their lives from the beginning.
During the Warring States Period, the countries were either founded with different surnames, or the courtiers usurped the country, so the Great Qin was able to destroy the Eastern Zhou Dynasty first and sweep the world.
The world is unified, and King Qin always needs something to prove the legitimacy of his status. Therefore, the former He's bi was carved into a national jade seal.
Since Chen Sheng proposed: "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning", there is no so-called noble bloodline in the world, and the dynasties are changing one after another, and the dynasty is constantly changing surnames. But no matter what, there must always be something that represents the legitimacy of imperial power.
The heirloom jade seal of Daqin has become such a symbol. It symbolizes Chinese orthodoxy and symbolizes orthodox imperial power. It was the new dynasty that replaced the previous dynasty and became a decisive symbol of Chinese orthodoxy.
Of course, this thing is very important for civilized society, especially modern society. In terms of the main system society, it has become a burden, because this world is no longer a world of one family and one surname, so the storage of the jade seal of the country does more harm than good, so its storage is actually very obstructive in the eyes of many people.
In any case, in the current period of this plane, the heirloom jade seal still retains its value.
However, after the Yuan Dynasty obtained the jade seal of the country, after the defeat, the jade seal of the country also disappeared with the retreat of the Mongolian tribes. The Ming Dynasty continued to go north and deep into the grassland, but it has not been able to recover. The reason why Jin dared to say that he was orthodox was actually because he announced to the world that he had obtained the jade seal of the country.
Did Houjin really get the jade seal of the country? No one knows about this, after all, that thing is placed in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, God knows if it really exists, in fact, on this issue, many people are not concerned about whether the jade seal is really there, but the question of 'whether it is'. Houjin has a jade seal of the country, so it is a legal act for him to change the dynasty, so he should be a slave to Houjin, and he should be at ease.
It's a pity that the Houjin of this time and space has not yet announced that he has obtained the jade seal of the country, so the change of dynasty can only come from the complete slaughter of the royal family of the previous dynasty, as well as the pacification and rule of three generations, so that the next generation, and even the people of the next generation, can recognize the rule of this new dynasty.
If Li Zicheng occupies the world at this moment, then he can take this road.
But he didn't, he only occupied a few provinces south of Shandong, the homeland of the former Ming Empire north of Shandong, which was incorporated into the Chinese People's Republic with the permission of the administrators, especially several former princes of the Ming Dynasty. This gives people the feeling that Li Zicheng's downfall is only a matter of time.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible to use the violent model to unify China, or to let the people in their own territory recognize their own existence.
The method is not nothing, at the beginning Li Zicheng planned to use it. It's also very simple to say, that is, to use a more insidious method, 'legally' in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and take over the country to become the real inheritor. In this way, all kinds of rebellion that occur during the change of dynasties can be avoided. Now, I can't afford to consume it.
At the beginning, Li Zicheng planned to frame the murderer of Zhu Cihong and other princes to Li Luo, but others not only did not die, but also saved the princess.
For this reason, Li Zicheng directly cut the newly appointed director of the intelligence bureau, but even so, there was no way to save the situation.
After the north knew the truth, it still took refuge in the republic with a huge territory. If you don't have a tight grasp of public opinion, you are afraid that you will cause trouble in the harem of the first emperor and harm the two generations of emperors.
Now the Republic and the so-called Ming Empire are engaged in a war of words.
The Republic came up with a lot of evidence to show that Li Zicheng was the murderer of Chongzhen, and even publicized a series of his bad behaviors; Li Zicheng was not to be outdone, and pointed out that Li Luo had already defected to the republic, otherwise why would Li Luo become the deputy director of the Republic Intelligence Bureau now? The republic now wants to unify the country, in order to reduce the resistance to unification, so it slanders the Ming Empire. Let's see how several Chongzhen's concubines gave birth to a dragon son after they became pregnant in October, and how he Li Zicheng maintained the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.
When the intelligence work is done to the extreme, especially the constant restriction of the other party's public opinion operation, the result is that the people of the Ming Empire, blinded by hatred, seem to be unable to hear the voice of the republic. People are like this sometimes, and when preconceived opinions are stored, then it is difficult to accept reality.
Li Zicheng is not only manipulating public opinion, but also reorganizing his troops, no matter whether he can fight or not, he must take preventive measures anyway. Otherwise, if there is a real war with the Republic in the future, then the lack of preparation is the biggest problem. At the same time, Li Zicheng is also thinking about how to deal with himself if he fails? Yourself, is there any other way out?!
On the Republic's side, however, it was also preparing for border defense while properly handling the last work of political mobilization and military reform. It is true that he inherited such a large piece of land from the Ming Dynasty, but he can't always use all the old officials of the Ming Dynasty. The ruling party and the supervisory party should immediately recruit new party members, and at the same time, it is normal for various localities to carry out a series of personnel transfers, such as transferring Yang He to Sichuan with the same position, and transferring Sichuan Governor Niu Jinxing to Shandong as governor......
The military is also undergoing reorganization, eliminating those who are not qualified and those who have achieved outstanding results in the overall training. The 50,000 troops stationed in the northern provinces were reduced to 38,000, and 2,000 excellent militiamen were drawn from the local militia system as a supplement, and 40,000 troops were assembled to garrison various key roads in the north.
Zhang Hongbin also met King Xiaofu and King Tang, and even many princes and grandsons of the Ming Dynasty, and he met with more remote royal relatives. He had this capacity to receive them, after all, he was the emperor. At the same time, he also has an identity, that is, the son-in-law of the old King Qin, and they can be regarded as close relatives, and even the second prince Zhang Cai has a very strong Ming royal blood.
Zhang Hongbin held a family banquet, and at the banquet, he also met these elders and juniors as a junior and relative. Everyone talked happily with each other, and the gap between the change of dynasty and the like was also diluted. Besides, it was Li Zicheng who killed Chongzhen, even if the Republic did not land in Tianjin, Li Zicheng would still attack Chongzhen in the future. Not to mention the reason why the Republic went on the expedition, it was because of Li Zicheng's house.
Not to mention, the victims of the most fundamental incident, the kidnapping of the prince of the Republic, are also their relatives!
The Republic does not mean to restrict these so-called 'former royal families', and now that he is gradually entering a society governed by the rule of law, as long as he does not violate the Constitution, he will have no problem even becoming the speaker of the National Assembly. It doesn't matter if they are soldiers, under a sound military system, even if some of them become commanders-in-chief, Zhang Hongbin will not worry about what impact they have on the imperial power of the republic.
After properly accommodating these royal families of the previous dynasty, Zhang Hongbin also began to work on another matter, which should be sooner rather than later. Because he knew that some people on Li Zicheng's side had begun to doubt the true father of the fetus in Concubine Chongzhen's womb, and if he wanted to really control this Ming Empire, he had to go through other ways.
Then, there is only one way to get the world without the need for orthodoxy to get the world, and that is to get the jade seal of the country.
It doesn't matter if it's not, after all, Jin also said that he got the heirloom jade seal, but who really paid attention to whether it was really the heirloom jade seal?
This decision is actually a bit reckless, but Zhang Hongbin feels that he does not seem to have done anything wrong.
Li Zicheng was busy mobilizing people, rectifying politics, and restricting public opinion.
Zhang Hongbin was building a very high platform, and then on the day of the National Day of the Republic, he climbed the high platform.
"This is the first time I have broadcast to the whole country, I am Zhang Hongbin, the emperor of the Chinese People's Republic, and on the occasion of the National Day, I solemnly announce one thing to all the people in the country." Zhang Hongbin picked up the microphone and broadcast to the whole country.
Not only the republic, but also in various places of the Ming Empire at this moment, a large number of radio instruments have been placed. They are scattered all over the place, so even if the government wants to recycle them, it is unlikely that they will be collected for a while. For this day, Zhang Hongbin spent a lot of money to buy this thing in the supermarket and distributed it through guò people.
"It is said that Chinese orthodoxy, so who will sue me, the so-called orthodoxy, how to prove it? The most straightforward way to do this is to keep it, right? Zhang Hongbin took out a piece of jade in the brocade box beside him.
"The jade seal of the country, the secret treasure of the national inheritance created by Qin Shi Huang, has been regarded as an orthodox symbol of the national inheritance by successive dynasties. It seems that as long as there is no such thing, it will not be the heir of Chinese orthodoxy.
Coincidentally, some time ago, during the prince's expedition to the grassland, he accidentally found this thing in the tribe of Genghis Khan's descendants. The symbol of orthodoxy that has been taken away since the Mongol and Yuan dynasties has now returned to our Chinese hands and has been seized by our Chinese People's Republic. Zhang Hongbin lifted the jade seal high, and the whole audience boiled.
The heirloom jade seal, got this thing, everyone knows what it means.
The People's Republic of China is indeed the legitimacy recognized by God!
"Rejoice, people of the Republic, we have recovered the secret treasure of China! In the past, people said that our republic was a rebellion, but it was just a thief regime. In recent years, it has been said that the depravity of our republic is a barbarian regime. But the facts have proved one thing, that is, if the jade seal of the country is really a symbol of the so-called orthodoxy, then our Chinese People's Republic is the operation of the Chinese orthodox civilization regime! Our behavior is not in line with the tradition, just because we conform to the Mandate of Heaven, and the Mandate of Heaven also believes that the times must change, and it agrees with our change, which is actually so simple.
Of course, in fact, I am not arrogant enough to think that having the jade seal of the country can represent God's recognition of our republic. Whether the republic is truly orthodox in China should be proved by the joint efforts of the Chinese people, as well as the continuous improvement of the level of science and technology in China and the continuous strengthening of the country's combat effectiveness. I hope that from today onwards, the jade seal will only be used as a spiritual symbol, because it is all of you who make up our Chinese People's Republic, and nothing else. Remember the seven words of the Chinese People's Republic, and together we are the republic. No one can do it without anyone! Zhang Hongbin shouted.
The republic is the people. Lord?
If so, why do you need to keep the emperor?!
Even if there is a council, even if the power of the emperor is limited, the emperor is the emperor.
The republic is still an imperial system...... But the republic gave the people a relative of the people. The Lord has given them the power to be the masters of their own affairs.
That's fine, if, as Zhang Hongbin said, the country belongs to everyone, then is it interesting to call around for the identity of a parent? If this is the case, it will not be the people. The people of the Lord. Lord, why not keep the monarchy in the beginning? At least one royal family has a zài, and there is no need for everyone to fight.
That's it, it's okay for such a regime......
"Long live, long live the Republic!" The cheers spread all over the country.
