The remaining official department chief, the personnel and criminal department are in charge of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Military Affairs is in charge of the army, and some of these departments have changed little in general.
Section three hundred and ninety A new era
On February 15th, 166, on the first day of the first month of the Year of the Tiger, please watch the most!
It was a cold day in the north, and everyone felt freezing cold. In this bleak season, Cixi returned to the Forbidden City and saw that there was no hair left except the walls. She held the Tongzhi emperor and wept bitterly. She felt that their orphan day was really sad. This scene made several ministers move and wipe their tears.
As poor as a church, as poor as a church, the state treasury has to bear high reparations.
Everyone thinks that the future is bleak, but it has strengthened the loyalty of some ministers, especially some Guangdong ministers, who have expressed their willingness to donate money and materials to raise compensation from the Great Qing Dynasty. Because of Dayuan, some Guangdong ministers actually felt a sense of guilt.
It’s really hard to understand people’s hearts. Are these people considered as people with low morals?
It’s hard to say
Cixi cried for a long time and then wiped away her tears. Despite the opposition of ministers, she resolutely took the little emperor to live in this cold palace.
The fear of the future from the heart makes their hearts colder than the cold body.
Coming from the south across the sea to attack the city and plunder the land is unstoppable, which makes them feel a sense of national subjugation crisis.
This feeling is so strong that it makes people feel desperate. They don’t know how to deal with this threat from the sea, relying on strong ships and guns. In just a few years, the capital has been robbed twice. This is no longer possible to cover my ears at the door. I have been anesthetized in Tianchao State.
Foreigners used to bring failure more to make them feel shame, but the emerging Zhu Jinglun dynasty in the south made them feel a sense of national subjugation crisis.
The Qing court had a real sense of crisis to Da, and foreigners also suddenly found that they needed to re-examine Da, a new country. They suddenly realized that the establishment of this country had suddenly revolutionized the situation in East Asia.
Just after Dachao announced its establishment, several critics paid attention to this country, and they found that this newly established country has jumped into the world’s largest tea-producing country, the expanding raw silk producer and the largest trading country in East Asia and the West.
Moreover, they found that this country is completely different from the Qing court. They are more willing to contact with the West and do business with Westerners. Although there are still many constraints, their emperors have welcomed diplomats from various countries more than once, and businessmen from the West have also shown an attitude of being willing to actively communicate with Western countries. All this is different from the Qing court and other East Asian countries, whether it is Northeast Japan, North Korea or South Vietnam, East Asian countries have tried their best to close themselves up and communicate with the West more negatively.
This attitude of big countries is welcomed by westerners, which is why they finally accepted the demands of big countries and made some concessions.
Of course, in order for them to make concessions, they must also have reciprocal benefits.
The positive advantage of demanding that the Qing court hand over Dalian, Qingdao, Qinhuangdao and Ningbo to them is that western countries, mainly Britain and France, can also play the market of the Qing Ministry through here, but the potential risk is that these commercial routes will be monopolized by big businessmen like Tianjing-Britain and France are fiercely opposed, and they will still refuse to accept even if the big government makes a guarantee of liberalization.
Of course, the most important thing is that Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte in Britain is almost a follower of British diplomacy in this era. When it comes to the interests in China, it is mainly British interests. France’s commercial expansion in China is not an order of magnitude with Britain, and it is barely ranked fourth after the United States and Russia, and it is a little different from small countries such as Denmark and Sweden.
What really makes the British make concessions is to accept the British control of the Qing court sea and intervene in these cities, that is to say, despite the request to control the land and administration of Dalian and other places, the sea here still belongs to the Qing court sea and is still managed by the British like other territorial seas of the Qing court.
The British gave in, the French wouldn’t say anything, and the Americans took a happy attitude, but the Russians strongly opposed the railway construction problem.
It is strange for foreigners to build a railway in Dalian and other places. It is strange that a big country does not even have a railway, but it wants to build a railway on the land of the Great Qing Dynasty. However, Britain and France and other countries have no objection to the fact that the ports of the Qing Dynasty are free trade ports because of the big commitment. All countries are welcome to trade, so all countries can share the benefits, especially the United States, which is particularly supportive of this requirement.
However, Russia strongly opposes it because it believes that a railway from Dalian to their border will greatly threaten their eastern territorial security.
On this issue, the big government held fierce consultations and negotiations with the Russian government, and finally reached an agreement on sharing the spoils. Once the Dalian-Russia border railway is built, it must be negotiated with Russia and approved before it can be built. At the same time, the railway must be invested by Russia and managed jointly by China and Russia after operation, so as to threaten Russian territory.
In fact, it’s just an excuse of territorial security. Lao Mao also hopes to build a northeast railway to infiltrate his hometown in Manchu Dynasty. It is also very beneficial for Russia to build a railway leading to the Russian border in the vast northeast. For example, it can completely change the Sino-Russian commercial route. From the line requirements of Russian negotiators, it can be seen that they suggest that the end of the railway line should be in Qiketu, which is the most important commercial road between China and Russia. Russian businessmen and Shanxi businessmen have operated a trade city for 200 years
The common people also feel that times are different.
They had remained neutral in Daiwa and the Qing court as if they didn’t know that Guangdong and other places had changed dynasties and lived their usual lives in silence, not because they were numb and didn’t know how to think, and they knew that Daiwa brought them benefits.
First of all, the merchant class has been strongly guaranteed, and they will never be extorted at will. Officials do not deprive them of their property at any time, which threatens their personal safety. Although the government has to pay much more taxes than in the past, they feel a sense of security for the first time in a transparent system, and with the scientific management policy, businessmen have greatly increased their business opportunities, such as Tianjing Commercial Road, which was unimaginable before. It is the country’s artillery and huge ships that support business behind them. It is the country’s efforts to win them opportunities.
Tianjing commercial road is still a special case, and the more common opportunity is the opportunity brought by the large-scale implementation of the liberalization policy and the increasingly close commercial trade in western countries. Hurd has created a high efficiency, and the Shanghai and Kowloon Stock Exchanges have greatly expanded the old trade base on behalf of commercial institutions.
Of course, it’s not just businessmen who benefit from the establishment of major policies. In fact, the whole social class, even the poorest tenants, have shared the dividend of the establishment of major policies. At the very least, Zhu Jinglun’s expansion forces have not controlled a foundation and gone to various places to pay taxes in various names. Up to now, the government has actually separated from relying on the local tax and extracted taxes from the commercial system.
These tangible benefits can’t make people indifferent. Many people have a steelyard in their hearts. They have already made their own measurements. They are afraid of being strong before, and they have a habit and nostalgia for the old times in the shadow of the rule of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years. They dare not express their position.
But now it’s different. The Great King’s Northern Expedition captured the capital of the Qing Dynasty and forced the Qing Dynasty to cede territory for compensation. All this made them give up their last concerns and let them know that the Great Dynasty had gained a firm foothold.
Then they were not afraid, they dared to take a stand, and they dared to declare themselves an adult under the banner of sunshine.
After the enthronement ceremony, more people celebrated, and some people cut braids to show their position.
However, there are still a group of people who insist on their own opinions and are contemptuous of those people who call themselves great people. These people not only stubbornly believe that their braids are ancestors, but also scold those people who cut off their braids and forget their ancestors. The most terrible thing is that among these most stubborn people, a large number of readers are very famous. They are part of the people who master words in China society, and their voices have great influence.
It is very common for them to write articles in newspapers, constantly expressing their attitude of loyalty, obedience and filial piety in the Qing Dynasty, and calling on people to understand the great gift and not to falsify it.
In the face of this anti-crime force, some big officials can’t stand it, so Zhu Jinglun is advised to severely punish them, seal up newspapers that publish these people’s articles, arrest and even exile these rebels
But Zhu Jinglun smiled and shook his head and refused, saying that these people are just a group of old people living in the new era and a group of poor people living in their fantasy loyalty morality
These people are not worth doing by themselves, and they will be eliminated sooner or later.
Zhu Jinglun has too many things to worry about, and a few buzzing flies are not enough to make him wave energy. At present, his most concern is the problem of coolies, and he will not hesitate to compete with the British Empire to solve this problem.
Section three hundred and ninety-one China racial sorrow
If possible, Zhu Jinglun doesn’t want to provoke the British in 30 years, because this is the Victorian era, which is the British era. It is not a wise move for the country to challenge the British empire in this era.
However, it is hard for Zhu Jinglun to accept the evil human nature in the coolie trade, especially the shame contained in it, which makes his inviolability of dignity as a person with the old age of new China even more touching.
When it comes to coolie trade, the younger generation thinks that it may be limited to long-distance travel at the bottom of the cabin, and the ultra-high mortality rate is limited to American railway sleepers. Thanks to some beautification film and television dramas, coolie trade is probably vast in many people’s eyes. Nanyang is a self-made giant. The beautiful story is San Francisco’s heroism Huang Feihong Qi.
People who can put themselves in this era are really reduced to coolies. Ordinary people do not feel the romantic atmosphere in film and television dramas. They feel fear and despair.
Later generations, even in the national propaganda, Nanyang has a positive color, describing this historical event as a symbol of the spirit of China people’s struggle overseas. However, Chinese people are the most homesick people, but who wants to leave their hometown and go to a strange place if there is some way?
And coolies are a group of people who have no choice but to sell their future lives when they have a few oceans, and then they are stuffed into filthy cabins like garbage and sent to Nanyang mine all the way without stretching their feet. They work day and night and endure whipping and hard labor. Most people enter the mine and never come out for a day.
Comparatively speaking, China people in Nanyang have been deeply cultivated for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and they have come to this land longer than western colonists. Therefore, there are still some people who rely on hard labor and have a real chance to regain their freedom after the expiration of their labor term. Those coolies who have been sold to America, especially Central and South America, have no way to live. They work in Peru’s dung fields and their health is eroded prematurely. Workers in Cuban plantations are often tortured and often flogged to death.
