After the ceremony of entering the city, Wang Shijie and the accompanying generals accompanied Qiao Zhiqing to visit the Purple City.Qiao Zhiqing is no stranger to this place, and after entering, there is always a feeling of being in a different world."
President, there's something I've always wanted to ask you, but I'm afraid that if you say the wrong thing, you'll be upset."
Wang Shijie followed closely behind Qiao Zhiqing, looked at the splendid palace, and couldn't help but ask Qiao Zhiqing."
Say, what else are you afraid of me" Qiao Zhiqing chuckled, raised his feet and walked into the Heart Nourishing Hall to visit.The furnishings in the hall are still the same, and when the Boxers came, they robbed the inner and outer cities, but the Forbidden City remained very intact.At the beginning, they were also preparing to return to the country here, so they cherished this place very much.Unexpectedly, before the butt was hot, he was driven out of Beijing by Huaxingjun."
Now that we have taken the city of Beijing, should the president consider moving the capital here?
Throughout the dynasties in history, compared with Nanjing, Beijing still has the air of an emperor.Most of the dynasties that built their capitals in Nanjing in history were short-lived dynasties that passed by in a hurry. ”Wang Shijie said with a serious face, obviously taking this issue very seriously.This matter was mentioned to him by a charlatan, and he did not believe these gods and ghosts at all.But after looking through the history books, I have to believe it, and it really makes some sense."
I thought you were going to ask me about Lin Meizhu, it seems that you have really made a lot of progress recently, and you have begun to use your brain to think about some problems" Qiao Zhiqing glanced at him appreciatively and sat on the throne of the main hall for a while.The last time he came to the capital to receive the canonization, there was still a child under the age of ten sitting here.Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, I don't know how many people want to sit in this seat.For this position, how many people fight for their heads, father and son turn against each other, and brothers kill each other.Wang Shijie asked this question, and he has been thinking about it repeatedly recently.But there is no result yet, and he doesn't want to talk about these things more, so he moves the topic to Lin Meizhu.Where to build the capital is not a simple feng shui issue.It cannot be said that Beijing has the air of the emperor, so the capital will be moved here.However, in terms of geography, history, and culture, Beijing is indeed more suitable for building a capital than Nanjing.Nanjing, located south of the Yangtze River, is always a bit of a corner of the country, and is not suitable for effective rule over the north.Beijing is located right in the heart of China, and it is truly sitting in the north and south, and building the capital here can indeed form a more cohesive force for Jiangnan and Jiangbei."
The president still remembers Meizhu" Wang Shijie heard Lin Meizhu's name, and his expression moved.He had just received news that Lin Meizhu had followed Cixi to the Northeast."
Of course, I remember, she is the treasure of our Firefox, and she has been sending back information from the court all these years.This time, I had already ordered her to stay, but I didn't expect that this girl's temper would become stubborn now, and she insisted on accompanying Cixi to the northeast. ”Qiao Zhiqing smiled, he originally wanted to fulfill a good thing this time and let Lin Meizhu and Wang Shijie get married, but now it seems that this wedding wine is not available for the time being."
Thank you President for still thinking about Meizhu, I'm still waiting, don't worry."
Wang Shijie blushed and smiled bitterly, and he didn't know when Lin Meizhu's temper became so stubborn.Maybe he has been with Cixi for a long time, and he has some lust for power, not the poor little girl who let him protect at the beginning.A reporter from the Central Daily also accompanied Qiao Zhiqing to Beijing this time, and after Qiao Zhiqing got up and went to the main hall with Wang Shiming, he summoned all the generals and took a photo at the door of the main hall to inform the whole country.The city of Beijing has its extraordinary significance, in the eyes of ordinary people, the city of Beijing fell, and the Qing Dynasty also died.Even if the imperial court is still there, it is a government in exile."
May I ask the president, what are you going to do with the Forbidden City, will the government choose to work here?"
After taking the photo, almost all the newspapers sent reporters, trying to get some words out of Qiao Zhiqing's mouth.The reporters were also very interested in the fate of the Forbidden City, and they also wanted to inquire about Qiao Zhiqing's meaning of moving the capital from the side.This issue is not Wang Shijie alone, the news of Beijing's recovery has just reached Nanjing, and the whole Jiangnan is speculating about this issue."
In fact, how to deal with this Forbidden City has already been answered in various parts of the Yangtze River.There will not be another emperor here, let alone a palace dedicated to anyone.After restoration, it will be turned into a tourist attraction and open to the people of all China.And not only the Forbidden City, but all the royal gardens in the capital, after renovation, will become a place for leisure and entertainment for people across the country. ”Qiao Zhiqing expressed his thoughts without hesitation, but did not disclose the issue of moving the capital.There is more than one person in Nanjing who thinks that he will move the capital to Beijing and ascend the throne here as emperor, and he wants to nip this idea and public opinion in the bud.He once said that there would be no more emperors in China, and now he will implement this sentence to the end.It is easy to drive the emperor out of the Forbidden City, but it is difficult to drive out the hearts of the people."
May I ask the president, if Jiangbei is unified, what will you do with the Manchus?"
the reporters quickly recorded what Qiao Zhiqing said with a sketchbook, and then threw out a question of concern."
The original slogan of our Huaxing Army was to drive out the Tatars and restore China, and this Tatars are not simply any race.Whether it is a Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan, or other ethnic group, as long as he is a member of New China, then he is a citizen of China.What we are expelling is not a simple nation, but the privileges of that nation.Therefore, all ethnic groups have their right to live, and the Manchus are the same, but all the privileges on them will be abolished. ”Qiao Zhiqing replied in the affirmative, he was not so fanatical as to exterminate all the other ethnic groups.The extermination of a nation cannot fundamentally solve the problem by simply killing.The key is the spread and assimilation of Han culture, in order to truly conquer a nation."
Last question, now that the Qing court has fled back to his hometown in the Northeast, do you have anything to say to them?"
The reporters agreed with Qiao Zhiqing's idea, smiled at each other, and asked the last question."
I would like to remind you that since ancient times, Northeast China has belonged to the territory of our new China, not to a certain nation or regime.For the Qing court in exile in the Northeast, I just want to say one thing, it is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to sell the name of the overlord" Qiao Zhiqing brought out the poems of the great man, and it is really majestic and complements each other here.Of course, he will not cede the northeast to the Qing court, but there is no time to clean them up yet.After Beijing was taken, the first operational objective was accomplished, and the second step was to attack from the north and south to pacify all the warlords in Jiangbei.Of course, they will not obediently give up the power in their hands, although the city of Beijing fell into the hands of Huaxingjun, but in their hearts, the Qing court is not finished.The reporter's interview with Qiao Zhiqing soon appeared in the newspapers and spread all over the country within a few days.All the Manchus breathed a sigh of relief that their ancestors had killed an unknown number of Han Chinese when they entered the customs.What they are most worried about now is how Qiao Zhiqing will treat them, and now it seems that he has always saved his life.Shengjing, Fengtian Shenyang Palace, Chongzheng Palace.After Cixi received the newspaper that Qiao Zhiqing answered in the Forbidden City, she smashed the newspaper from behind the curtain in the early court to the main hall in anger.After the Fengtian Emperor's Palace entered the customs in the Qing court, he stayed as an escort.It was renovated during the Qianlong period and now has a considerable scale.The palaces are also extremely luxurious, with Manchu characteristics.The Manchu court temporarily settled in the Fengtian Emperor's Palace, where it handled government affairs and spent the whole day deliberating on when to enter the Central Plains."
You all see, Qiao Zhiqing has now entered the city of Beijing, and the ancestors' country has been lost by you, when are you going to go south to quell the rebellion" Cixi scolded fiercely, and looked around at the ministers with cold eyes behind the curtain.Now the imperial court basically has Manchu ministers in power, and almost all the military and political affairs, finances, and civil affairs are in the hands of the Manchus.The power of the Han people in the imperial court is very thin, and there is basically no place to speak.Cixi hated the Han people, and when Beijing fell, there was no place in Jiangbei to send troops to Qin Wang.If it weren't for the fact that there were still a large number of Han people in the northeast who needed to be governed, Cixi would have blasted out all the Han officials a long time ago."
Empress Dowager Qiqi, the imperial court has just settled in Fengtian Mansion, and she has to rest for a while to recover her energy.Now winter is about to begin, and when the heavy snow comes, it is not conducive to our troops.The minions have already discussed, it is best to enter the customs after the beginning of spring, unite the soldiers and horses from all walks of life in Jiangbei, and attack the Huaxing army on both sides. ”Rong Lu hurriedly stood up and said goodbye, he is now the prime minister of the imperial court, handling all important military and civil affairs."
Queen Mother, what Prince Gong said is very true.Now the enemy is strong and I am weak, if I enter the customs easily, I will definitely be annihilated by the Huaxing army" Rong Lu also stood up and said, now he and Prince Gong are grasshoppers on the same line.It was he and Prince Gong who pushed Cixi to leave Beijing first, but now they can't go back.Cixi gritted her teeth with hatred for the two of them, and if it weren't for the fact that there were no more available people in the imperial court, she would have dragged them out and beheaded them a long time ago."
Prince Alcohol, what do you mean" Cixi focused her eyes on Prince Alcohol Yixun, who became the largest commander of the Kwantung Army after seizing all the rights of Zhang Zhidong in the Northeast.Now he also commands as many as 300,000 soldiers and horses, which is stronger than Ronglu's national protection army, but it has not yet been tested in actual combat."
The Queen Mother, the minion has been negotiating with the Russian ambassador recently.They promised to be willing to help us train the army, as well as provide weapons support.The minions also felt that the matter of going south to suppress the rebellion was slowing down, and it was better to make ourselves strong first, which was the most important thing. ”Yi Xun knelt down and prayed, and did not advocate going south to quell the rebellion now.He had just taken over the Kwantung Army, and it would take some time before he could firmly control this army."
Is the Russian ambassador the same Russia that once supported Xinjiang Agubo to engage in separatism?"
Cixi frowned, not knowing where Russia was, but only having the impression of hearing the name of this country
