Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 649 The Noisy Main Battle Public Opinion

"Chief Editor, all the new manuscripts have been placed here for you." Xiao Liu, an intern at the magazine, said to Zhou Congwen in the small office.

Zhou Congwen nodded, stroked his beard, and asked, "How many emotional articles are there about denouncing the Qing Dynasty?"

Xiao Liu stuck out his tongue: "Almost all."

Zhou Congwen sighed: "I don't blame the reporters and writers for being like this. After all, what Xiqing has done these days is too much. In fact, the people of Ming Dynasty have almost forgotten that there is such a group of Tartars, but they do it like this. The national hatred and family hatred of the Jiashen Incident seems to have returned."

Xiao Liu is less than [-] years old, a group of baby boomers in the restoration era, and has never seen the tragedy of the Jiashen Incident.The age when they grew up was an era of continuous material prosperity and peace for the country and the people. They could only see the uneasy years from the mouths of their parents, history textbooks, and old movies.

"But didn't the supervisory unit ask our magazine to control the volume of sound? Alas, I don't know what the officials and gentlemen think. They have been bullied by the tartars, and they still swallow their anger. It's really spineless."

Zhou Congwen smiled, feeling that this little intern was really young, he said: "People who are stronger than themselves are called swallowing one's breath, and those who are weaker than oneself are not called swallowing one's breath."

"That's at least an indulgence. Besides, editor-in-chief, do you really think our Ming army can defeat the Qing Dynasty? I heard that they are almost invincible in Europe."

"There is a systematic gap between the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty, and it cannot be easily made up for. Although the government and the public are arguing about why His Majesty the Emperor has not yet taken action against the Tartars, after all these years, His Majesty has been fighting since he was a teenager. How can your Majesty be worse than when he was young when he can lead me to the restoration of Ming Dynasty and to the peak?"

"Oh, the previous assassination really shocked the whole people. I heard that a snowflake-like petition has been sent to the Taiping Palace, begging His Majesty not to leave the palace at will, and the last thing is to strengthen security. My Daming, I really can't miss it." Your Majesty." Xiao Liu sighed.

Zhou Congwen has been the editor-in-chief of the magazine "New Digest" for several years. From a librarian to the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Zhou Congwen has also achieved an advancement in life.He has lived in Shanghai for more than 20 years, and he is used to the status of an intellectual with a good life, and the modern Shanghai makes countless people yearn for it.Only when he watched Da Ming from being destroyed to today's prosperity, can he deeply appreciate the power of Da Ming.

As an intellectual who has observed the politics of Ming Dynasty for a long time, Zhou Congwen has seen more deeply than ordinary people.Although he didn't speak, he knew that Daming was now on a stable path of institutionalization.Although the importance of His Majesty the Emperor to the Ming Empire is self-evident, assuming the Emperor is really gone and the young crown prince takes the throne, there will be no problems with the government.

It is often said that during the restoration of the dynasty, there were many talents and wise men, and the talents for governing the country and helping the world are like crucian carp crossing the river.The most rare thing is that through a series of systems in the Ming Dynasty, even if these elite ministers have some differences, they can be controlled within a certain range.They have more leadership in collective governance, and even the replacement of prime ministers has rules to follow.Talented people are promoted according to their political achievements and assessments, and they can even be promoted all the way to the top of the Legislative Yuan.In the end, the ministers and the emperor elected ministers who were qualified for the cabinet position.

It is already a broad consensus that the country is the first.It's not that no one tried to continue to engage in party struggles in the Nanming court, but they were all cleaned up in the end.The imperial court will only keep those who have the courage to do things and know the rules of doing things. Struggles that do not conform to the rules will be attacked.

"The darkness before dawn is always unbearable. Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will take action. It is only a matter of time before the Xiqing is destroyed." Zhou Congwen smiled and said to Xiao Liu.

"Don't think about these things. You are not a member of the Council of Governors. Do your job well. Go and watch the typesetting. This issue is about to come out."

--split line--

After Bai Mingxiu returned to Beijing, he attended a meeting of the Republic House.

The House of Republic has become a very Ming-style institution. From a certain point of view, the parliament of this era is basically an incomplete authority. Because the monarchy is supreme, the parliament is more of an existence used to express the interests of the ruling class .On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty's Republic House is more thorough, representing a wider range of interests of the general public.Its existence is more to reflect the voice of the people, and to check for gaps in the governance of the Legislative Yuan.

Bai Mingxiu knew that as long as he came to the Republic House, he would be drowned out by the voices of the Senate.

that's the truth.

The emperor has always been the chief counselor of the Republic House and the first representative of the people, so as long as Bai Mingxiu is there, he will preside over the proceedings of the Republic House.

"Next, the first item of discussion... er, the discussion about the war against the Western Qing Dynasty that was jointly signed by the House of Representatives and submitted to the Council of Governors and the Privy Council."

Bai Mingxiu is also a pain in the ass. The Republic House has never been an authority of Ming Dynasty, but a political institution that asks questions about Ming Dynasty's governance and some important issues of society and people, and then seeks solutions.Therefore, the House of Republic will discuss specific issues and then pass resolutions.Institutions such as the Council of Governors must respond to the resolution of the Council of the Republic. More than 90.00% of the cases are that the Council of Governors will follow the resolution of the Council of the Republic to make a series of policy adjustments, or support the Council of the Republic to issue new laws and regulations.But the House of Representatives does not have the power to directly pass a bill and make it take effect directly.

It’s like the House of Republic now demands the use of force against the Western Qing Dynasty, but they have no power to declare war. Power to veto bills of the House of Representatives.

Bai Mingxiu could only sit upright and began to listen to the councilors' talk.

"...Since the date of His Majesty's assassination, I have received more than 200 letters from the people in the constituency, and more than [-] phone calls, all of which requested that I be elected as a councilor in the constituency, and express to our House of Representatives, the Chief of the House of Republic, His Majesty the Emperor. , the people’s strong indignation over the unprovoked provocation of the Western Qing Dynasty. The dignity of our Ming Empire cannot be provoked, and our interests of Ming Dynasty must be resolutely defended!"

"...The west of Xiazhou is the most important oil producing area of ​​our Ming Dynasty. Now the Xiqing has colluded with dissidents there and instigated rebellion and turmoil, which has brought a very huge risk to Ming. Our army should take action at the right time to protect Daming's oil. Fight for origin."

Bai Mingxiu had a headache when he heard that, if he could fight, he would definitely send troops, but the situation there is not stable yet.

At this moment, Xu Renshu came over and handed Bai Mingxiu a small note.

"Chenglin's troops raided Franche-Comté in the Kingdom of France successfully!"
