Li Hongzhang arched his hand: "Although it is vulgar to talk about profit, but life in the world, can not be without profit, the so-called all kinds of righteousness are actually linked to each other with profit as a link, just take the commander-in-chief's governance in Jiangnan as an analogy, the core is still a word of profit, the people, officials and the army and other social strata, only if they get their own benefits, will they pay righteousness for the sake of maintaining profits."

If you only talk about righteousness and do not get benefits, it may not hurt in a short period of time, but after a long time, it will inevitably gradually lose people's hearts, and even be resentful, the people are like this, and the country is the same, of course, the benefits in Li's mouth are not to give benefits to the Chinese countries in Southeast Asia, but to support the right people within each country, so that their interests are closely linked to the main body of China, and secretly support them to take power, and suppress the opposition, so that as long as the benefits continue, the righteousness is connected.

In addition, when the time comes, you can also rent the country's port to garrison troops to form a deterrent to those with bad intentions! ”

Wang Feng is almost stunned, this is the United States' method of dealing with Japan, the core of which is to buy and garrison troops, all pro-China prime ministers in Japan will not be able to do it for long, and the position of anti-China prime ministers is extremely stable, the United States can only tie the dog chain tightly through garrisoning and infiltrating, pulling one faction to fight another, and even biting whoever he wants him to bite.

Li Hongzhang is indeed a capable and thoughtful person, and this proposal alone is enough to provoke the pillars of diplomacy!

"Good!" Wang Feng shouted: "Li Hongzhang, I plan to let you preside over foreign affairs, what do you think?" ”

Li Hongzhang didn't have any ideas, or even if he had ideas, he couldn't see them, so he bowed deeply at the moment: "Thank you Commander-in-Chief for your love." Li will definitely do his duty. ”

Wang Feng looked at Miao Peilin again and said in a deep voice, "I'll let you be Li Hongzhang's deputy." Would you like to? ”

Miao Peilin's expression was obviously stiff, and there was a hint of disappointment. But he still arched his hand: "Miao is willing to listen to the commander-in-chief's drive." ”

How could Wang Feng not see his thoughts, and couldn't help but smile faintly: "Do you think that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, like the Imperial Court, is just a Qingshui Yamen, which is responsible for welcoming and sending foreigners?" But think I've left you idle? ”

"This" Miao Peilin looked a little embarrassed, and said with little confidence: "There is no such thing, Miao is willing to engage in any dispatch." ”

"Oh?" Wang Feng waved his hand and said: "Before I make a formal definition of the scope of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, let me first say that I have only one goal for China's future political ecology. It is the implementation of universal suffrage, which is a form of democracy, and what are its benefits? Which of you will talk about it. ”

Zhou Yanqi took over and said: "For thousands of years in China, there is only one way to violently overthrow the regime, and Chan Rang is just a glorified palace coup, and there is no second way. For thousands of years, China has paid huge costs over and over again in the change of dynasties. Entering the cycle again and again, this is also the so-called historical cycle law of three hundred years and one succession.

Unlike universal suffrage, the government relies on the votes of the electorate to govern. When the government and the people are on opposite sides, the people can get him out of office by ballot. A new government is the least costly way to change the regime.

I can totally believe it. When China truly realizes democracy and the government is elected by universal suffrage, the historical cycle of 300 years of rise and fall will be broken.

In fact, the Chinese are very miserable, in Chinese history, the time of division and reunification is about half to half, and in this half, how much time is prosperous? How many of the so-called prosperous times are false prosperous times like the prosperous era of Kangqian?

According to our statistics, ordinary people can truly live a prosperous life without worrying about food and clothing, that is, a limited number of dynasties such as Wenjing, Kaihuang, Zhenguan, Kaiyuan, Renxuan, and Hongzhi, for more than 100 years.

China's 5,000-year-old history, the prosperity of the world is only more than 100 years, the 4,800 years on the people, is only heavy enslavement and exploitation, and even successive military disasters, tragic deaths, out of a Ming Jun is too difficult, we can not pin our hopes on the Ming Jun, human system and autocracy will only make China into a dead circle, if you want to save China, only democracy and the rule of law!

Of course, democracy is not a dogskin plaster, it is not a one-time stick, it also has many problems such as easy to be manipulated by interest groups, low efficiency and so on, but we can strengthen supervision, further improve the principle of transparent and open governance, so that there is no way to trade power and money, and gradually improve in the process of exploration, in short, in any case, democracy is much better than autocracy, it is the least bad system in the world! ”

Wang Feng also continued: "From ancient times to the present, there is a tried-and-true truth in China, whoever has the greatest power of violence can become the ruler and ruler, that is, only the army is strong and the horse is strong, or it can be understood that the power comes out of the barrel of the gun.

So, when the country fully implements democracy, can power really come out of the barrel of a gun? My opinion is negative, having soldiers in hand does not mean that you can do whatever you want, unless you are willing to be the enemy of the whole people, and the result of insisting on going your own way is that it is very likely that the army will mutiniate and kill you first, because the education received by soldiers is to be loyal to the nation, to the motherland, and to the people, and the army belongs to the state, not to a certain warlord. ”

As he spoke, Wang Feng swept away many commanders and division commanders from the Huai Army of the Hunan Army with cold eyes, and said: "I know that many of you are influenced by traditional concepts and are reluctant to give up military power, but I have to remind you that the times are changing, and concepts also need to change with them.

In the era of democracy, the army is no longer a violent tool for self-benefit or suppression of the people, but a sharp knife to safeguard national sovereignty and territory and dare to fight back against any invading enemy! If you want to benefit in the new era, in addition to having the skills and knowledge you need, the most important thing is that you must adapt to the new rules and have the ability to negotiate with the market economy!

The era we live in is a new era, I hope you can emancipate your mind, broaden your horizons, put down your burdens, travel lightly, lead the times forward, and become the trendsetter in the new era, because opportunities will always favor those who are prepared!

The reason why I want to take you across the river is, firstly, to let you take a walk and have a comprehensive understanding of the new era, and secondly, to conduct a month-long political study. ”

Many people's faces showed a look of deep thought, some people showed shame, and even beads of sweat appeared on Miao Peilin's forehead, because he knew that Wang Feng was specially told to him to a considerable extent.

Li Hongzhang bowed deeply: "Li has been taught." ”

Wang Feng smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Now let me talk about this Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in today's world, with the closer exchanges between countries and the intensification of contradictions and conflicts, the importance of diplomacy has been unprecedentedly increased, and it is by no means comparable to the past Li Fan Yuan.

Whether a country succeeds or not, in addition to internal affairs, is foreign affairs, the current foreign minister is appointed by me, responsible to me, when universal suffrage is achieved, the foreign minister is nominated by the prime minister, the parliament votes to appoint, responsible to the prime minister, the status of the foreign minister in the government is second only to the prime minister, higher than other ministries and commissions, any department to formulate laws and regulations can not contradict the basic diplomatic principles, otherwise it will be regarded as illegal and invalid, and the circumstances are serious and the parties must be held responsible.

The specific responsibilities of the foreign minister are to preserve and use the Chinese national seal to handle and coordinate international affairs with foreign representatives, and to coordinate, direct and supervise the overall overseas affairs of the Chinese government as the prime minister's chief adviser to international affairs. I don't think I'll give you a separate one. ”

"Where, where." Miao Peilin wiped his sweat and smiled awkwardly: "No, no." ”

Wang Feng nodded, and said meaningfully: "As a diplomat, the most basic ethics is patriotism. ”

"That's, that's!" Miao Peilin felt that his legs were weakening, and he knew that Wang Feng was warning himself at this time.

"Hey~~" Liu Mingchuan sighed with emotion: "If I had listened to the commander-in-chief's wonderful arguments earlier, Liu would have gone to the government even if he was cheeky." ”

This is not that Liu Ming is hypocritical, but that he heard what Wang Feng meant, and his understanding of democracy has also reached a higher level, since he will not be a private soldier, and there are rules to follow in everything, Wang Feng cannot arbitrarily dismiss or even kill administrative personnel according to his own preferences, so the development space of politics is indeed greater than that of the army.

Wang Feng smiled slightly: "When the battle is over in the future, or when you are old, you can be transferred to a job and demobilized, if you can do well in the army, what else is there that you can't do, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Liu Mingchuan responded with a smile.

At this time, Boss Chen pointed to a foreigner beside him and introduced: "Commander-in-chief, this is His Excellency Prince Menlev of Russia, he has made great contributions in the process of attacking Singapore. ”

Menlev immediately showed a flattering smile, 50,000 Russian troops were completely annihilated, and the Governor of Eastern Siberia, Murayoviv, was killed on the spot, he already knew it, and he was very worried.

Wang Feng cast his eyes and pondered for a long time before he said: "The Russians are brutal and inhumane, it stands to reason that I should shoot you, but you have made great achievements, unlike other Russians, you are qualified to be an old friend of our Chinese people, so if you can't return to China now, you will first take a few of your men to live in Nanjing for a while, perhaps, I will send you a great creation." ”

"Huh? What can a mere Russian do? Zhou Xiuying looked at Wang Feng very incomprehensibly, but Wang Feng obviously didn't mean to say much.

Menlev was also quite disappointed, and when he thought that he was afraid that he would be imprisoned for life, he could only smile and say: "Thank you for your grace not to kill." ”

Wang Feng nodded noncommittally, and then said to Chen Laodao: "I heard that you have brought a lot of Spanish women this time, let's go, take me to have a look." ”

As soon as he said this, Boss Chen became energetic and hurriedly said: "Over there, there are many beautiful Filipino women, all of whom were brought back by the brothers after thousands of choices, Commander-in-Chief, please hurry." (To be continued......)
