The next day, almost all newspapers made extensive reports on Puyi's move out of the Forbidden City, especially the Daily News.
The Daily News published the cause and effect of this incident in the form of a supplement. In the supplement, there was a joint message to all citizens signed by President Xu Shichang and Prime Minister Qin Yunpeng, which was equivalent to giving an official characterization of this incident.
Just as Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng expected, after the news spread, few people really thought that the Republic of China government was not keeping its word. More people praised it as very satisfying, and some people questioned why Puyi could stay in the Forbidden City until
He was just kicked out now.
Perhaps the old and the young are lamenting and crying, but they have no power and have also lost their right to speak, so no one pays attention to them, and they do not gain any sympathy.
After all, the Manchu Qing government was a dynasty that had existed for nearly three hundred years, and there were still some foolish and loyal people. Someone said in a tabloid in the capital that the Republic of China government should not be so rough and should use gentler means to handle this matter.
This so-called rationality, or cover-up, did not cause much trouble. On the same day, a group of unidentified people rushed into the newspaper office and smashed it to pieces. Even the editors and reporters were dragged to the street.
He was beaten violently.
This did not stir up much trouble, and even the police who arrived belatedly were not criticized, so many people who were ready to take action and harbored strange thoughts stopped and became completely silent.
Although the Daily News of the Republic of China was only a branch, its printing volume was not small, and it was second to none in the entire Republic of China. Naturally, Qin Zhiyuan also saw the report.
Qin Zhiyuan and Julie were on the Great Wall when they saw the news. After reading the news, Qin Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh three times.
In fact, it was just eight o'clock in the morning, and the sun had just risen. There was still a layer of mist lingering in the mountains near Badaling. The distant mountains and close views were shrouded in mist. It looked a bit hazy. The Great Wall in the mist was really beautiful.
It is like a giant dragon entrenched in the mountains, winding and twisting with no beginning or end. It is truly spectacular.
The humidity in the air is very high. Maybe it rained a little in the morning. The ground is a little wet. The stone steps that have grown moss on the edges are a little slippery. It's a bit dangerous for people to walk up. Qin Zhiyuan better arrange for people to leave first.
After assessing the safety level for a while, I climbed the Great Wall with Julie Reno and others.
Nowadays, there is no saying that one is not a hero if he does not visit the Great Wall. Naturally, there are no stone tablets for people to pay homage to. On the contrary, such a Great Wall is more pure and silent.
Relatively speaking, the Badaling section of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is the best preserved in existence, but due to disrepair in recent years, it also looks a bit dilapidated. Because it is deserted, few people come to visit, and the Great Wall is covered with weeds and rubble.
, it cannot be compared with the cleanliness and tidiness of later generations. In some places, the entire crenelation has collapsed, and many watchtowers have collapsed. It really needs to be well maintained, otherwise, such a Great Wall will be too disappointing.
This disappointment is only for Qin Zhiyuan, who has seen the heroic appearance of the Great Wall in the 21st century. For Julie and others, the Great Wall is the undoubted wonder of the world.
Of course, these days there is no such thing as the largest in the world, but this does not affect Julie and the others' curiosity about the Great Wall.
Spectacular, it is really spectacular, and it is really admirable that such magnificence extends for nearly 10,000 kilometers. Ferdinand Foch was full of praise. As a soldier, Ferdinand Foch could understand the role of the Great Wall in the cold weapon period.
It is indeed spectacular, and it was built in high mountains. In an era without construction machinery, I really don’t know how they completed it. Old Renault was also sighing beside him. Because he was a businessman, his first reaction was the cost and difficulty of construction.
Diligence and wisdom have given us dexterous hands. Qin Zhiyuan appeared at the right time.
In fact, from a military point of view, this is not advisable. It is tantamount to artificially restricting the form of war. It is estimated that after the city wall is repaired, the Chinese will also lose the motivation to expand their territory and then lose their bloody spirit.
Dinan Foch thought a little too much.
On the contrary, I think the Chinese are a peace-loving nation. The Great Wall is the best proof. This proves that the Chinese do not have much ambition for the world. We just want to live our own lives. As for the bloody nature, it has never disappeared.
, otherwise the Chinese world, like ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, and ancient India, has disappeared in the long river of history. Qin Zhiyuan has different opinions. Although Qin Zhiyuan is now the king of Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan is still used to speaking from the perspective of the Chinese.
Pay attention to your identity, you are now the King of Lanfang. Ferdinand Foch did not refute Qin Zhiyuan, but took a roundabout approach from another aspect.
This is not a conflict, just like George V. His ancestors were Germans, which does not prevent George V from representing the British Empire. Qin Zhiyuan can easily find the evidence, and it is very suitable.
Regarding the bloodline of George V, this can be regarded as the dark history of the British royal family.
In 1714, Queen Anna of England died in this year. Since she left no heirs, who to choose as the king suddenly became a big problem. It turned out that thanks to hundreds of years of intermarriage between royal families of various countries, the King of England had relatives scattered throughout Europe.
There were quite a few, and the choices were wide, but because they had learned the lessons of the Glorious Revolution, the ministers decided to choose a Protestant king. So Anna’s cousin, George Ludwig von Duke of Hanover, son of the Elector of Hanover, Germany, was
Invited to England to ascend the throne, known as George I in history.
This was the beginning of the Hanoverian dynasty in England and the beginning of the Germanic ancestry of the British royal family.
Starting from George I, and later George II, III and IV, they all maintained the custom of marrying German princesses as queens.
This tradition continued until the famous Queen Victoria, the fifth generation descendant of the Hanoverian dynasty, the queen of Britain in its most heyday, married her German cousin Prince Albert.
The British royal family thus changed its name to a more German-style name, called the Gotha Dynasty of Saxe-Coburg.
The British originally did not take the German style of the royal family seriously, and the royal family itself was even more proud of its Germanic heritage. However, during the World War, Britain's heavy losses in the world war caused German hatred to spread throughout the UK.
, people hate anything with a German imprint, and even sausage dogs are often abused by passers-by because they are originally from Germany.
In this context, it seemed very inappropriate for the royal family to retain a German name, so George V had to order the royal family's surname to be changed to the localized Windsor. This is also the origin of the Windsor dynasty.
So through this word game, the British royal family, who was born in Germany, finally avoided the embarrassment of the world war.
Well, you always have a point. Ferdinand Foch was past the age when he had to decide between men and women verbally.
Let's talk about something pleasant. We have to stay here for a few more days. To be honest, I have begun to miss the beach in Lanfang. Old Reno complained a little.
In March, it was actually quite cold in the north of the Republic of China. The air quality in the north these days is pretty good, and there are no sandstorms or smog. If it were the capital city in the 21st century, I'm afraid it would still be cold.
Renault couldn't stay for a day.
Don't say this. As long as you say this, my knees will start to hurt. Ferdinand Foch also complained.
Foch has been a soldier all his life. He has been in good and bad weather for decades. His physical condition is indeed not very good. It is normal for people to have some problems as they get older. Foch has been doing well in Lanfang for the past two years. At least Lanfang is doing well.
The climate in Fang is indeed very pleasant.
Compared to France.
We will stay for a few more days. Lily and I have to go back to our hometown to worship our ancestors. It is estimated that it will take another three or four days. If you are tired of staying, you can go back to Penglai Island first and we will meet up again when we go to Europe. Qin Zhiyuan
Knowing the physical condition of old Reynaud and Foch, he didn't insist on it.
Chinese people all pay attention to returning home in fine clothes, even when they reach Qin Zhiyuan's position, they are no exception.
Since we are going to worship our ancestors, we must not miss Qin Zhisheng. Now Qin Zhisheng is rushing to Jinmen. He is expected to arrive in Jinmen tomorrow, and then Qin Zhiyuan will go back to his hometown with Qin Zhisheng to worship his ancestors.
That's not necessary. If it's just a few days, that's no problem. I'm afraid that if you stay here for more than half a year, my life will not be easy. Old Renault said that he and Qin Zhiyuan would advance and retreat together. He seemed to have a deeper meaning.
It was meant to remind Qin Zhiyuan to keep distance from the Republic of China.
Qin Zhiyuan's visit to the Republic of China was a big event in the eyes of many people, especially the British and Americans, who were very concerned about the relationship between Lanfang and the Republic of China.
If you think about it, you can understand that if Lanfang's industrial strength is combined with the human resources of the Republic of China, there are really not many countries in the world that can compete with the combination of Lanfang and the Republic of China. Even the British are in danger.
The British Commonwealth sounds full of loftiness, but in fact the organizational structure is very loose. Especially Australia and Canada, both have a high degree of autonomy. Although they are not independent, they are still in the Commonwealth, but they are still independent.
Pretty much, at least British influence in Australia and Canada is gradually dwindling.
After the World War, because of the outstanding performance of the Canadian and Australian troops in the World War, the British gave Australia and Canada greater autonomy, which made Australia and Canada look more like an independent country. The British were in Australia and Canada
The influence further declines.
In this context, the organizational structure of the Commonwealth will only become looser until it is forced to disintegrate.
Therefore, if Lanfang gets too close to the Republic of China, it will inevitably attract the attention of the British and Americans, which will be a huge potential threat to their global strategy.
