At the heavily guarded Seoul Railway Station, almost all members of the North Korean royal family, led by Ri Xi, plus members of the newly established North Korean parliament and government, consuls general of various countries in Seoul, garrison generals, reporters and ordinary people, totaled nearly 100,000 people.
People gathered at this railway station, which was built less than half a year ago, to welcome the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor. When Yang Feng walked out of the special train with the Queen on his arm, even though they already knew that there was no need to kneel down anymore, the vast majority of North Koreans still knelt down habitually.
to greet their monarch.
Hearing countless voices kneeling down and shouting long live behind him, Li Xi, who was originally standing, couldn't help but his knees softened and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the moment he knelt down, Emperor Yang reached out to support him. This guy
He smiled very hypocritically and said: "Didn't I tell you that from now on this ritual of kneeling down will be abolished for all except parents and ancestors?"
"I forgot about it for a moment." Li Xi said awkwardly, and quickly took advantage of the situation to straighten up. He straightened up, but the Prime Minister Min Yongjun behind him did not stand up, but continued to lie there looking loyal and loyal.
Everyone else later knew that this prime minister had been hanging out with the emperor when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces were punishing Japan. He should be considered a close aide of the emperor. Since he couldn't get up, of course it was best to continue lying there with him.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, didn't you hear what I just said to His Highness?" Emperor Yang said with a dark expression.
Min Yongjun was so frightened that he quickly got up, and then the people behind him got up too.
Emperor Yang nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the microphone that had been prepared long ago, and gave a lengthy speech to the nearly 100,000 North Korean people in front of him about how China and North Korea would be one family, brothers, and create a better future together.
At the same time, it was announced that in the future, compulsory primary education will be fully implemented in North Korea just like in China, and the royal family will fund the establishment of two comprehensive universities in Seoul and Pyongyang. Then, amid the grateful shouts of long live, Li Xi and others accompanied him in an open-top
The limousine headed to Gyeongbokgung Palace under the protection of fully armed guards. His Majesty the Emperor will live in the main palace of the Joseon royal family during his stay in Seoul, while Yi Xi and his family will take refuge in Gyeonghui Palace. This is a rule. After all, he is just a vassal king.
Emperor Yang's schedule in North Korea is very full, and it is estimated that it will take at least a month to complete, including inspecting the just-completed parliament and government agencies at all levels, visiting scenic spots and historic sites, reviewing the garrison and holding a small-scale military exercise. Receive North Korea
Local gentry and celebrities, in particular, had to attend the opening ceremony of the Chinese Academy of Sciences funded by the royal family, and study Confucian classics with Korean great Confucianists. Although the emperor is a Catholic, he has recently been studying the commonalities between Confucianism and God's thought, so in
He also has a certain say in this aspect. In addition, His Majesty has also brought several Chinese studies masters from China this time, intending to allow them to have academic exchanges with Korean Chinese studies masters, and by the way, to introduce several Korean nationals to the Royal Academy of Literature.
academician.
The emperor's move caused a great sensation in North Korea, especially among the old scholars. They were so moved that they shed tears and shouted for the reappearance of the Holy Dynasty. Emperor Yang was just short of being given a bunch of stinky and long titles.
"In fact, even I didn't expect that I could meet so many masters of Chinese studies in North Korea. Compared with the mainland, this is a pure land of Chinese studies." At the dinner held for the masters, Emperor Yang said with emotion.
Afterwards, he even personally raised the wine glass and brought it to a gray-haired master. The master was so moved that his hands trembled.
"Your Majesty, the common people did not expect that Your Majesty respected Confucianism so much. It was rumored that Your Majesty believed in foreign religions. The common people thought that Your Majesty was dismissive of us old men. Only then did they realize that being a villain is a crime worthy of death." The old man wiped.
Said with tears.
"Jin Lao, what I believe in does not prevent me from respecting Chinese studies. Philosophical research is not affected by belief. Even in European universities, many things studied by philosophers are contrary to their religious beliefs, but this
This does not prevent them from becoming masters respected by everyone in Europe. Philosophy and religion are two concepts in themselves. If you have time, we can get together again one day and I will introduce you to various European philosophical thoughts in a systematic way. Maybe you
You can find many things similar to Chinese studies." Emperor Yang said sincerely.
Those masters nodded hurriedly. If the emperor said there is, then it must be there. If there is no, there must be.
"At that time, I will compile your research results into a book, and then publish it around the world. In addition, I will invite some European philosophers to our Royal Academy of Arts to conduct academic discussions with you and domestic masters.
Communication, philosophy knows no boundaries." Yang Feng added that he had been planning this plan for a long time, and had long thought about bringing together European philosophers to create a great collision of Eastern and Western thought.
It seems that Nietzsche is not dead at this time. I wonder what will happen if Nietzsche and Freud are brought face to face to debate with the masters of Chinese studies from the Royal Academy of Literature? Will they throw shoes and start a fight? Emperor Yang
Suddenly I felt very much looking forward to this.
He was learning from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Dong Zhongshu here when Yuan Shikai quietly came over and whispered: "Your Majesty, the three states of Texas have officially declared independence."
This is good news. With such good news, Emperor Yang no longer cares about the masters. After apologizing, he quickly went out with him to arrange a conspiracy.
On April 5, 1900, the three former American states of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi officially announced their separation from the federal government and reorganized the Confederate States of America.
In fact, these three states have no choice. Johnson has nakedly hinted to them that if they are not independent, then he will take action. As long as there is chaos in Texas, the Chinese army that has arrived in Puerto Rico will definitely take action.
They landed in Texas in the name of protecting overseas Chinese, and here Johnson has armed more than 100,000 people, which means that they can easily control the entire Texas, and then start a big war with the US military here.
When the time comes, it will not only be the Chinese corps, but also the Spaniards, Germans, and especially the Russians. Thinking of the habits of these Russians, Governor Culbertson and members of the Texas Congress
The scene of their hometown in ruins immediately appeared before their eyes, and then no matter which side won, their good days would be over. Yang Feng's victory must have been a military occupation at that time, so there was no use for them to just kick it away. The United States won.
Yang Feng withdrew the factory and left behind a ruined Texas. In short, no matter what the outcome was, it would end with the destruction of Texas, unless they first declared independence and then used their own strength to block the federal army.
This news caused an uproar in the whole world. Although the three states of Texas have been clamoring for independence recently, countries really did not expect that these guys would dare to raise the flag of the Confederacy again. You know this
However, it was a blatant provocation to the federal government and the legality of the Civil War. Moreover, this was a tense moment of confrontation between the three states and the federal army. You can imagine how the federal government would react.
However, within twenty-four hours after the Confederate States of America was formally established, something happened that shocked the whole world. The Spanish government announced its recognition of the Confederate States of America just two hours later, and then the Chinese Empire announced its recognition, and then the German Empire announced its recognition.
The Empire, the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Sweden all declared recognition of this country.
At this time, even those countries that did not understand the details clearly understood that standing behind the Confederate States of America was a huge group of powers, three recognized powers, one quasi-power, and two with international status second only to
It is a big country with great powers, which means that more than half of the power in the world is supporting the Allied Powers. Countless countries are waiting with their eyes wide open for the next reaction of the United States.
President Arison was directly stunned by this sap. During this period, it can be said that he has made all efforts, regardless of military coercion, economic inducements, and even offered conditions such as adding three states to the Congress, but nothing
Thinking that the hearts of the three Texas states have still not been restored, this time the troubled President can be said to be completely irritated, including the northern members of Congress. What is he going to do? Prepare to let
Should we bear the US$500 million compensation alone? Isn’t this just a scam? It’s shameless.
Also just twenty-four hours later, the U.S. Congress passed the authorization to use force to resolve the southern rebellion, over the firm opposition of the five senators of Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. It was on the border of these three states.
The U.S. Army, which was confronting the National Guard, received offensive orders one after another. After only four months of peace, the United States fell into war again.
And it's a civil war.
Unfortunately, they were destined to not get any good results in this war. At the same time that the attack order was issued, Alabama and Georgia declared neutrality at the same time, prohibiting federal troops from passing through their territories to fight against the three states of Texas.
The reason that prompted these two states to make this decision is very simple. After the Confederate States of America was announced, the 200,000 Spanish Army troops stationed in Florida immediately began a large-scale concentration on the northern border. It is obvious that as long as the US military uses force, these 200,000 Spanish troops will
The Spanish army immediately went north to attack the two states. These two states were not stupid and naturally would not wait for their homes to be reduced to ruins.
In particular, Alabama did it more thoroughly. The National Guard in this state first surrounded the Mississippi National Guard before the two federal divisions stationed in Livingston and Grand Bed could officially launch an attack on them.
captured these two divisions and forced them to withdraw from Alabama.
Moreover, these two states also threatened the federal government that if they had to pass through their territory, they would also choose independence and then join the Confederate States of America. (To be continued...)
