On October 28, 1902, it was not a few days before Lin Daxin's enthronement ceremony, in a book teahouse in Beijing, at this time, the people were boiling, and the guests in the book teahouse were discussing the enthronement ceremony that would be held in a few days, and most of these people were flag people in Beijing, and these flag people did not Lin Daxin overthrow the Qing Dynasty and change their habit of drinking tea.

Beijingers love to drink tea, and Beijingers have a long history of drinking tea. Why do Beijingers love to drink tea? This has to do with the history involved.

As early as the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the southern tea-producing areas such as Anhui, Fujian, Zhejiang and other large tea merchants have set up tea markets in Beijing, they fancy the city of Beijing is the center of the imperial court and the characteristics of the dense crowd in Beijing, guide the people of Beijing to understand tea, accept tea, fall in love with tea, but also the formation of a unique teahouse culture in Beijing, which makes the streets of Beijing City have many kinds of teahouses, such as Qing teahouse, morning teahouse, book teahouse, Kun teahouse, wine teahouse, chess teahouse and so on.

"Chang Sanye, you are old and well-informed, you can tell me, if there is no Qing Dynasty, there will be no more, if Lin Dashuai from the north is the emperor, can we still live in Beijing City with these banner people in Beijing City?" A man in his 50s, dressed in a robe and with braided hair, whispered to another man in his 50s, who was also dressed similarly, and the two were sitting at the same table in the same corner, with a plate of tea snacks and a plate of melon seeds on their table in addition to a teapot and bowl.

From the clothes of the two people, it can be seen that the family background of the two people is relatively solid.

Chang Sanye picked up the tea bowl in front of him, took a sip, then put down the tea bowl and said, "Fourth Master Song, hasn't the new imperial court already posted a notice. It is said that all ethnic groups in the new court are equal, and our bannermen and Han people will be the same in the future. If you don't let us move out of Beijing, you can rest assured to open your store! ”

Fourth Master Song sighed and said, "But a few days ago. Those Dingbei troops raided the mansions of those princes of the Qing Dynasty, and for us banner people, the new court will not settle accounts after the autumn, right? ”

Chang Sanye said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Fourth Master Song, you didn't see that the officers and soldiers of the children of the banner people in the original Wuwei Army have been incorporated by the Dingbei Army, and my little five is now equivalent to a member of the Dingbei Army, since Lin Dashuai has recruited the flag people as soldiers, he will not embarrass us ordinary flag people." As for those princes and belles, they can only consider themselves unlucky, after all, it is a change of dynasty! ”

After the four towns of the Wuwei Army were subordinated to the Dingbei Army, Lin Daxin did not discriminate against the Manchu officers and soldiers, and they were reorganized without discrimination, and as long as they met the conditions of the Dingbei Army, they would be reorganized into the Dingbei Army.

Chang Sanye's fifth-ranked son. It turned out to be an officer of the Wuwei Army, and now he has joined the Dingbei Army, and was also sent to the Shenyang Army Academy for short-term officer training, after the training. It is the Dingbei Army...... It should be an officer of the Imperial Chinese Army.

Fourth Master Song nodded and said: "As long as you don't make trouble for ordinary flag people like us, Lin Dashuai has become the emperor, at least we ordinary people don't have to worry about being bullied by foreigners." It's a pity that there will be no flag pay for us in the future, like you and me. All of them made a living, and many flag people lost their salaries all of a sudden. I can't open the pot at home. ”

The imperial court of the Qing Dynasty has always believed that "the Eight Banners are the foundation of the dynasty, and the country has nothing to do with it", so it has been doubly benevolent to the soldiers and people of the Eight Banners, in addition to the flag soldiers themselves on time, they also paid them to their families, but the kindness of the flag salary policy made many Eight Banners soldiers in the Qing Dynasty stubborn, pursuing luxury, corruption and decay, which is also the most important reason for the low combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

Now that Lin Daxin has replaced the Qing Dynasty, of course, it is impossible to continue to use money to support these banner people, so Lin Daxin announced the abolition of the Qing Dynasty's flag salary system not long after entering Beijing, and the banner people must fend for themselves in the future.

Chang Sanye said: "It's not okay if you can't open the pot, Beijing is now recruiting people everywhere for expansion, as long as you make a lot of effort, you won't be hungry, but you are afraid of some banner people, and you don't even want to work." ”

For more than 200 years, under the corruption of the Qing Dynasty's flag salary policy, the banner people were not allowed to engage in any production and labor, and they relied on their salaries to eat, and the Qing Dynasty collapsed at this time, and all the privileges of the children of the Eight Banners were made to naught.

Lin Daxin also considered this aspect of the problem, just Beijing City as the capital, Lin Daxin disliked Beijing City is too old, ready to re-plan and build Beijing City, Beijing City from an ancient city, into a metropolis, so that a large number of people are needed, Lin Daxin explained to the administrative department responsible for this matter, try to recruit those flag people to work, let those flag people become construction workers, and give those flag people who have no food and clothing to live.

Chang Sanye continued: "Now that Lin Dashuai is the emperor, it's good if we don't bully those foreigners, where do they dare to bully us, you must know that Lin Dashuai has just defeated all the 8 powerful countries in the world!" By the way, in a few days it will be the day when Lin Dashuai ascends the throne, I heard that there is a military parade outside Tiananmen Square, Song Siye, will you go to see it that day? ”

Fourth Master Song nodded and said, "Of course I have to go, but I can see Lin Da that day...... No, it's to see the emperor! Such a rare opportunity, how can I miss it! ”

Most of the other guests in the book teahouse were talking about the enthronement ceremony and the military parade a few days later, which was definitely not to be missed for Beijingers who love to be lively.

After Lin Daxin entered the city of Beijing, he did not take any measures against the ordinary Manchus in Beijing, but only copied the homes of the Manchu magnates, but he did not do anything wrong, and left some money for the Manchu magnates and their families.

After all, ordinary Manchus are also ordinary people, Lin Daxin has no need to trouble them, and he is not ready to do anything liquidated, so that the entire Beijing city is still relatively stable. And most of the ordinary people in Beijing know that it is a matter of time before Lin Daxin replaces the Qing Dynasty. For Lin Daxin's ascension to the throne and becoming emperor, it is still acceptable.

In the original provinces of the Qing Dynasty. Most of the people have long envied the various policies of Lin Daxin's territory, and are thinking about immigrating to Lin Daxin's territory.

You must know that the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the Qing Dynasty are really too much, otherwise there would not be so many people who left their hometowns and immigrated to the territory under Lin Daxin.

In this way, the people of the original provinces of the Qing Dynasty still accepted the matter of Lin Daxin's ascension to the throne and the emperor. And even very happy.

For Lin Daxin's ascension to the throne and the emperor, in Lin Daxin's original territory, the people are much happier than the people on the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

Lin Daxin's four wives and children also came to Beijing. moved into the Forbidden City, and at the enthronement ceremony, Lin Daxin also needed to canonize his four wives as queens.

Although the canonization of 4 queens at the same time is somewhat shocking. After all, in the thousands of years of Chinese history, I had never heard of such a thing, but Lin Daxin did it willfully. Everyone can only accept it.

Lin Daxin's parents, Lin Yongsheng and Mrs. Li, as well as Lin Daxin's father-in-law. Ding Ruchang, the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, also came to Beijing on October 28. And Lin Daxin's grandmother stayed in Weihaiwei due to physical reasons and did not come to Beijing.

Lin Daxin's parents also advised Lin Daxin to consider whether to consider the matter of canonizing the four queens at the same time, but Lin Daxin's attitude was very resolute, and Lin Yongsheng and Mrs. Li had no choice but to give up and let it go.

At the family banquet in the Forbidden City in the evening, Lin Daxin said to his father: "Father, how is grandma's health?" Why did you suddenly get sick this time? I was going to let my grandmother come over this time, so I let her old man live in the Forbidden City. ”

Lin Yongsheng sighed and said: "The doctor you sent said that your grandmother is at an age and her physical function has declined, and now she can only recuperate, otherwise what do you say this time, your grandmother will also come to Beijing to participate in the enthronement ceremony." I really didn't expect that Daxin, you are about to become the emperor! My Lin Yongsheng's son became the emperor, it was really like a dream. ”

Lin Yongsheng, as one of the few people who knew Lin Daxin's secret, although he knew that Lin Daxin could use the resources of another time and space, but Lin Daxin had established such a huge force in just 10 years, and finally replaced the Qing Dynasty, Lin Yongsheng was also quite surprised, the golden finger was too powerful.

Ding Ruchang smiled and said, "Yes! Daxin is about to become the emperor, but I didn't expect the old man to become the national ruler, it's really unpredictable! ”

Lin Daxin said: "Father-in-law, this time the Northeast Navy is reorganized into the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and the Beiyang Naval Division and the Nanyang Naval Division will also be reorganized together, I am ready to let my father-in-law enter the Ministry of National Defense, I don't know what my father-in-law wants?" ”

Ding Ruchang nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, the old man has no opinion, should your father also enter the Ministry of Defense this time?" Daxin, if it's inconvenient, the old man and your father will have nothing to leave the army. ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said: "I am also going to let my father serve in the Ministry of Defense, after all, my father and father-in-law stay in the navy, which makes it inconvenient for the generals below." ”

Lin Yongsheng said: "Actually, I am ready to leave the army and accompany your mother in the future." ”

Lin Daxin is about to ascend the throne and become emperor, Lin Yongsheng and Ding Ruchang, as his father and father-in-law, have special identities, and then stay in the naval fleet, with the situation of the two of them, they are not suitable to be the commander of a fleet, so that the commander of the naval fleet will inevitably have a feeling of being a rat trap when giving orders, so there is no need for Lin Daxin to say, Lin Yongsheng and Ding Ruchang are not ready to continue to stay in the naval fleet.

However, Lin Daxin knew that his father and father-in-law had been in the army all his life, and his feelings for the army were incomprehensible to ordinary people, so under Lin Daxin's persuasion, Lin Yongsheng and Ding Ruchang decided to enter the Ministry of Defense of the Chinese Empire.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Li said to Ding Xueshan, Du Juan, Liu Xiumei and He Yue: "In the future, Daxin will become the emperor, and you will also become the queen, I hope you can live in harmony as before." ”

The 4 women looked at each other, nodded their heads and said, "Yes, mother-in-law!" ”

Lin Daxin heard his mother's words and understood what his mother meant, after all, he became the emperor, and he would be involved in the inheritance of the throne in the future, and the 4 daughters were canonized as queens by Lin Daxin's willful nature, and their sons all hoped to inherit the throne, so don't have anything dirty.

However, Lin Daxin is still confident in his 4 wives, and there are still small fights, but there will never be those messy things.

Lin Yongsheng asked at this time: "Daxin, how are the preparations for the enthronement ceremony?" ”

Lin Daxin replied: "It's basically almost, just waiting for November 1." ”

The enthronement ceremony, in fact, Lin Daxin doesn't have to worry about it at all, Wang Yan and others help him, and now all the preparations have been completed, just waiting for the day of the enthronement.

At present, although the Chinese Empire is still a few days away from being established, the major countries in the world have recognized the legitimacy of the Chinese Empire, and no one dares not to admit it.

Moreover, all countries have consciously upgraded their embassies in Beijing to embassies, and the original envoys of various countries to the Qing Dynasty will become the first ambassadors of various countries to the Chinese Empire.

In addition, the first ambassadors of various countries to the Chinese Empire, representing their respective countries, were invited to participate in Lin Daxin's enthronement ceremony and military parade.

Beijing City has been very calm before Lin Daxin's enthronement ceremony, but as Lin Daxin's two major intelligence agencies, the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Secret Bureau, do not dare to relax at all, and have mobilized a large number of personnel from the two departments to go deep into all corners of Beijing City to find out whether there are people who endanger the enthronement ceremony.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty had just been overthrown, coupled with Lin Daxin's lenient policy towards the Manchu Dynasty, some Manchu remnants who had Manchu Qing in their hearts and hated Lin Daxin must exist, and the people in the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Secret Service were all wide-eyed, and they absolutely could not let these Manchu remnants mess with the enthronement ceremony.

The First Guards Army and the First Field Army in Beijing also imposed martial law on the city, and it can be said that everything is ready and only waiting for November 1. (To be continued......)
