Chapter 70: Ten Years
October 1, 1895, 9 a.m. sharp.
Wang Bo held an enthronement ceremony in Chang'an, he was dressed in Han-style imperial clothes, and officially announced that the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese Empire, and the capital of Chang'an, this day was also set as the National Day.
In addition to the civil and military officials of the Chinese Empire, there were also many invited people, gentry and representatives of ministers from various countries.
Li Hongzhang was also among them, he looked at the new Chinese emperor in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion, he thought that this young man would not be able to escape from his Wuzhi Mountain like Sun Monkey, and he would be firmly tied to the chariot of the Li family's Huai system, but now, he has become a prisoner, although he still has the identity of his father-in-law, but the new emperor does not seem to agree with him.
At this moment, his mood is complicated, melancholy, frustration, relief, happiness and other emotions welled up in his heart, and he now feels that the most correct decision is to marry his daughter and niece to the new emperor as his wife!
Wang Bo has no other concubines except for Li Jingxuan and Li Jingjie, two wives who were married for political reasons, and the queen and the imperial concubine are Li Hongzhang, the Li family, as long as their Li family does not make any big mistakes or rebel, then the Chinese Empire will be honored forever in one day.
Immediately after the enthronement ceremony, the ministers of various countries asked to meet with Wang Bo, and what they were most concerned about now was how their interests in China would be handled after the establishment of the new Chinese empire.
China has almost completed its reunification, but the country is still very chaotic, and it is not suitable to fall out with the great powers of various countries, and those unequal treaties cannot be destroyed yet, and they can only settle accounts after a period of recuperation.
After receiving assurances and a large number of orders, the delegates left satisfied.
In the following period, Wang Bo began to carry out drastic reforms in the country, after the defeat of France by the Chinese Wehrmacht and the forced signing of unequal treaties by the Japanese state had been recognized by most of the Chinese people, so there were no obstacles to the establishment of a new empire and the accession to the throne as emperor. It can be said that it is the trend of the times, and everyone expects it!
Of course, during this period, there were also some clowns who jumped off the beam to make trouble, these people had the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, those feudal sour Confucians who read books and read bad brains, and surprisingly, there were also some small groups that advocated republican ideas.
If Wang Bo hadn't decided to be the emperor yet, he would definitely have secretly absorbed these people, but now that he has become the emperor, isn't this the opposite of creating a new empire?
He has already adopted a constitutional monarchy like England, and these people are not satisfied, so don't blame him for being ruthless. Immediately get the newly established state security services in place. However, he did not rush to kill them all, beat a group to support a group, and secretly cultivated people who were pro-imperial and political.
Now his empire had set up a new cabinet of officials who were members of the party he had commissioned to form. The phenomenon of a dominant family is not good for his empire, he wants to balance!
In the early days of the establishment of the new empire, military power, financial power, personnel power, and all rights were concentrated in his hands, and now the land area of China is not like that in the real world, and for various reasons there are only more than 9.6 million square kilometers left.
Due to Wang Bo's timely overthrow of the Manchu Dynasty, Russia and other powers did not take much of the territory of China, and now the territory of the Chinese Empire covers an area of nearly 12 million square kilometers.
The land area is very large, the population is too large, the relationship between the people is complicated, and many imperial government affairs are difficult to reach the locality, Wang Bo must carry out all kinds of iron-blooded means to carry out bloody suppression of the disobedient clan gate valves, in just two years, countless generations of gentry have been raided, hundreds of thousands of heads have landed, in the eyes of these family door valves, Wang Bo is a tyrant who kills people without blinking.
Not only that, many Confucian sour Confucians also criticized Wang Bo for various reasons, using public opinion to slander Wang Bo, the new emperor, and many ignorant ordinary people followed the clouds and made trouble.
Wang Bo also launched thunderous measures in this regard, catch what should be caught, kill what should be killed, those sour Confucians scolded Wang Bo and the tyrant Qin Shi Huang who burned books and pit Confucianism, cold-blooded and ruthless, they all said that they couldn't punish the doctor, he was arrested and killed by Confucianism, and he would definitely be punished by God!
Wang Bo ignored all these scoldings. He built all kinds of schools to cultivate talents like in the real world, and he didn't have to rely on these feudal Confucian students to govern the country.
The reason why these feudal Confucian scholars had such a revolt was because Wang Bo abolished all kinds of privileges of Confucianism, and the imperial examination system was completely abolished by him, and the situation of ascending to heaven in one step no longer existed. All officials, like the real-world system, must take one step at a time, starting from the grassroots level!
Since these feudal Confucian scholars used public opinion to deal with him, then he would return the favor to him!
He is also from the real world, and he is familiar with all kinds of means of controlling public opinion, where can these rotten sour Confucians who read books and have bad brains compare!
Domestic public opinion was gradually correctly guided, and a large number of criminal evidence, whether true or falsified, were displayed in front of the world, and no one could distinguish between the true and the false, and no one could clearly distinguish between the false and the true.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!
The requirements of the common people are very simple, as long as someone can let them have a full stomach, warm their bodies, and a piece of tile to shelter them from the wind and rain, he is very satisfied, and that person is the Ming Jun and Qing officials they support.
Most of the political axe officials of the Chinese Empire have been tested by Wang Bo with the ability perception technique, and he chooses people to be officials and attaches great importance to character, so that he can be cultivated the day after tomorrow, and then there are a few more people to discuss together, and the three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang.
If your character is not good, even if you are outstanding, Wang Bo will not hire you, and he will put you in school for re-education, that is, brainwashing, if you are not satisfied, you will spend the rest of your life in the re-education reform school!
After ten years of recuperation, under the governance of Wang Bo, Huaxia was governed by the imperial court, the army was strong, the economy developed steadily, the national strength was gradually improved, the life of the common people was getting better and better, and the people of all ethnic groups were all free and sincere support for their emperors!
On October 1, 1905, a grand military parade was held in China to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
When the delegates of various countries saw all kinds of advanced chariots and weapons in China, they were all shocked!
In particular, Wang Bo mentioned in his speech that Napoleon of France once said that Huaxia is not weak, it is just a sleeping lion. Now, the lion of Huaxia woke up today!
The hearts of the delegates of various countries sank into the sea, and all of them became heavy.
Everyone remembers what Napoleon said in France, once the sleeping lion of China is awakened, the world will be shocked! Now it has been confirmed that those words are indeed true!
At this time, with the support of the United States, the national strength of the Japanese State was gradually recovering, and in order to contain the rise of the Chinese Empire, all countries had a tacit understanding to support the Japanese State together.
Ten years ago, the Japanese were successfully attacked by the revival army and political axe at that time, and the plan to "gamble on the fortune of the country" completely failed, and was forced to sign an unequal treaty, during which there was a rule that the Japanese were not allowed to build a navy for ten years, and now this restriction has expired, and all countries support the Japanese to build a navy again, and various interest-free loans and other support plans poured into the Japanese state.
In this regard, Wang Bo did not say anything about protest and condemnation, he said, whether it is now or in the future, Huaxia will never say anything to protest and condemn such weak and incompetent words, as long as you do not invade the territory of Huaxia, you develop yours, everything has nothing to do with Huaxia, but as long as you dare to enter Huaxia to provoke and seek trouble, the first warning, the second time immediately do not talk nonsense with you to attack!
This has been the case for the past 10 years, and it has been the case that there have been many local skirmishes on the borders of the three countries of Afghanistan or on the borders of countries such as Russia.
Of course, it was all other countries that entered the Chinese border without reason, and after the warning of the Chinese National Defense Forces was ineffective, they immediately attacked, and after winning the war, the occupied places were occupied by China and were no longer returned.
With Wang Bo, a powerful emperor, the cabinet officials and army generals under him naturally have this virtue, and any protests and condemnations from foreign countries are ignored, and what they say is also speechless.
All this was not provoked by the Chinese Empire on its own initiative! The Huaxia Empire just fought back, and all this is evidenced! As for the alleged encroachment on the territory of other countries, this is nonsense! The Huaxia National Defense Forces are only stationed in the local area to maintain the situation, so as not to have hostile forces attack Huaxia again! You can get into it, but the first thing is that you have big fists!
In early 1908, the Chinese Empire was celebrating the annual and approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, but on the northeastern border with Russia, in a disputed area, a dispute broke out between soldiers patrolling the two countries, which ensued a shootout.
Russia has been repeatedly defeated by the Chinese Defense Forces on the border with the Chinese Empire's Outer Mongolia Province, and some territories have also been occupied.
However, all the officers and men in the Russian army felt aggrieved, and the anger in their hearts had been accumulated for a long time, and now they finally couldn't help but take action.
Therefore, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Russian officers and soldiers in the Far East suddenly launched an attack on the Chinese Wehrmacht while the Chinese Wehrmacht was holding a Chinese New Year's Eve celebration party.
Fortunately, the local border troops had already arranged all the vigilance measures, but there were still many casualties among officers and men when they were caught off guard.
The Chinese National Defense Force has always guarded the creed that if people do not offend me, I will not offend others, and if they dare to offend, they will be punished even if they are far away. Moreover, in the precepts of His Majesty the Emperor of their strong power, they have never been bullied and have to refrain from patience, and now they are bullied to the head, and they immediately fight back!
At this time, radio had already been invented by the scientific research institute of the Chinese Empire, and after paying a certain price, the countries also learned this advanced science and technology, so the news of the war between the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Chinese Empire on the border line was learned by various countries that night.
The eyes of the world are all drawn to it!
The outbreak of war between these two Asian powers is the most important event that all countries like to hear about! I wish the two countries would fight to the death, and everyone would like to reap the benefits of the fisherman!
On the northeastern border, the Chinese Wehrmacht launched a counterattack overnight, and by dawn, it had already invaded Russian territory.
Fighting continued on the border, and Russian diplomats began to protest and denounce. The Chinese Empire has never talked nonsense, and when the Russian representative finished speaking, the diplomat said lightly: "It's all done?" Then it's up to me to say, we believe that our Wehrmacht will never take the initiative to stir up trouble! There is no doubt about it! Whether you believe it or not, anyway, all the people of China are convinced of this! ”
"Now that the war has taken place, unless one side bears all the mistakes, no matter how much we say here, it will be useless!"
"And the policy of our Chinese empire is consistent, clear, and unswerving. That is, the Chinese Empire will never take the initiative to provoke trouble, nor is it afraid of it. Once provoked or offended by any enemy, he will be punished even if he is far away! ”
"Therefore, either you Russia admit your mistake, or you completely defeat our Huaxia Empire, otherwise, this war will continue forever!"
The representative of the Tsarist Russian Empire was so angry that he almost vomited blood three liters and died, what does it mean that whether you believe it or not, anyway, all the people of China are convinced? What kind of bastard is this?
Hasn't Huaxia always said that it is a state of etiquette? When did you become so rogues, unscrupulous, and unreasonable?
It's so a bully!
We, the Tsarist Empire, will never give in!
When the representative of Tsarist Russia transmitted the words of the diplomat of the Chinese Empire back to China, the monarchs and people of Tsarist Russia were suddenly furious, it was really an uncle who could bear it, and an aunt who couldn't bear it!
The whole country of Tsarist Russia was clamoring to declare war on the Chinese Empire!
Although all the monarchs and ministers of Tsarist Russia were angry, they did not lose their minds because of this, and at this stage they have not yet reached the point of completely tearing their faces and declaring war, but they must teach the Chinese Empire a good lesson, otherwise, in the world, the Tsarist Russian Empire will be looked down upon by the powers of various countries and lose its national prestige!
Subsequently, a steady stream of troops began to accumulate on the border between the two countries, and the war in the Far East developed from a small local war to a large army group. Seeing that the excitement was not a big deal, the great powers of various countries deliberately made a fuss on the sidelines, and the war between the two countries became more and more intense.
However, the combat capability of the Chinese National Defense Forces is too strong, and all kinds of advanced weapons have emerged one after another, especially an air weapon called an airplane, which can even carry out bombing on the ground in the air. Bomb any target, whether on land or at sea!
The world was shocked!
The Chinese Empire has developed a new type of war weapon, and it still flies high in the air to strike at the enemy, and the speed is fast, and there is no weapon at all to fight at present!
In less than half a year, half of the territory of the Tsarist Empire was captured, and the land and sea routes were repeatedly defeated.
In desperation, Tsarist Russia had no choice but to ask various countries for help in mediation.
Although the Chinese Empire has always occupied the initiative in the war, Tsarist Russia is a big country after all, and it is inevitable to hurt 800 of the enemy if it hurts the enemy.
Besides, there are all tigers and wolves around them, and they all want to take the opportunity to pounce on the Huaxia Empire and take a bite, and they will never let the Huaxia Empire dominate in Asia.
Wang Bo immediately accepted it and agreed to armistice negotiations.
After some difficult negotiations, Tsarist Russia tearfully signed an unequal treaty, and all the territories occupied by the Chinese Empire could not be recovered, and more than half of the land area was lost, and a large amount of military expenses were compensated to the Chinese Empire, and since then it has been reduced to a second-rate country.
The strength of the Chinese Empire is getting bigger and bigger, the military strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the weapons are becoming more and more advanced, and all countries in the world are becoming more and more jealous of China, and they have stepped up the research and development of new weapons one after another, and suddenly the world has set off a round of arms expansion race.
