Qiming 1158

Chapter 1568 Democratic Republic

Xin Qiji was a little excited, and obviously couldn't understand what Su Yonglin was doing.

Su Yonglin was quite calm about this, and waved his hand to tell Xin Qiji not to be so excited.

"You'an, don't get excited. I've thought about what you said. Of course I understand how dangerous this matter is. Of course, there is luck in the smooth pacification, but You'an, you must also consider Zhang Ming, that dog thief. It was only after killing a dozen cadres who opposed it.

In fact, judging from my experience in Shandong this time, local cadres are very cautious about the use of force. Their understanding of what it means to mobilize militias to launch actions is beyond your grasp, and they are also very clear about what they mean by doing so. what.

Therefore, apart from Zhang Ming who was deliberately trying to harm me, other cadres in Yizhou still responded correctly, but in the state of the spread of rumors, the emotions of ordinary people could not be well appeased, and the cadres also Unexpectedly, Zhang Ming's actions, such as dog thieves, were conspiracy to succeed.

I thought that after this lesson, there is no need for the central government to take too many actions. The local governments will reflect on their own and make stricter regulations on the use of force. The central government only needs to review some of the preparations proposed by the local governments. That's it. "

Xin Qiji shook his head, the expression was unacceptable.

"Chairman, your heart is too big, I can't accept your idea, it's too dangerous, do you know how important you are to Daming? Without you, Daming is very likely to fall apart. The time is not enough for Daming's huge territory to be completely integrated, Daming needs you!"

Xin Qiji's words were sincere and firm.

"Of course I know, but You'an, I'm not everything to Daming."

Su Yonglin shook his head and said, "I will die, sooner or later, I will die. I am very important to Daming, but Daming is more important than me. When you think about policies, it should not be for me, but for me. For the entire Ming Dynasty!"

When Xin Qiji heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, but did not speak.

The other seven were also stunned for a moment, but did not speak.

Su Yonglin looked at them and let out a long sigh.

"I know you are worried about me, and I know my importance to the Daming New Deal, but what you are doing is wrong. You can't consider policies for my own sake. Your starting point should be the Ming kingdom, not me, you know?"

"Even so, I don't think this arrangement is too much."

Xin Qiji's voice was a little lower, but his will was still firm: "There are two things in everything, if we can't learn a lesson and adjust our policies proactively, it's not too late to make trouble next time, this is not only for you, but also for Daming country."

Su Yonglin thought about it for a while, and found that he still couldn't compromise on this issue.

Even if this decision would bring him some danger, he could not raise his hand to support it.

So he shook his head firmly.

"You'an, if you insist, I will reject it."

Xin Qiji listened, looked at Su Yonglin for a long time, pursed his lips and hesitated for a while before speaking.

"You can veto, but my proposal will not be abandoned. I will put forward this proposal at the people's congress and submit it to the people's congress for approval. The principles you set yourself, the proposals passed by the people's congress, even if you are yourself. Can't be denied."

Su Yonglin didn't expect Xin Qiji to be so firm on this issue. This was the first time he had a policy confrontation with him on the complete opposite side.

While Su Yonglin felt a headache, he also felt relieved.

"I agree with your spirit and way of doing things. You have the qualifications to make proposals at the people's congress. Of course, I can't veto the resolution of the people's congress, but You'an, I did this to turn the tide for later generations. possibility.

You have to know that Qiao Feng, Lu Dian, Liang Yuankai, Zhang Ming, etc. will continue to appear in our interior. They are fine in the local area, but what if they are in the central capital?Right under our noses?The power of the Zhongdu court is too concentrated, which is not a good thing. "

"I don't object to some of your ideas. Excessive centralization of power is indeed not a good thing. This is the lesson of the former Song Dynasty, so I have regulations on the powers and responsibilities of local governments."

Xin Qiji shook his head and said, "With the exception of military power, military power must not be dispersed, whether it is a regular army or a militia."

"There is no dispersion now. The local militia system only has the right to act autonomously under certain conditions. Large-scale mobilization still requires the permission of the Ministry of Military Affairs."

Su Yonglin smiled bitterly and said, "I just think that a certain degree of loosening will do more good than harm. It's just that this level may need to be fine-tuned at any time, not taken away in one go."

"You can't convince me, and I can't convince you."

Xin Qiji smiled and said: "Such an argument is meaningless, so let the people's congress decide which opinion is more in line with the people's views."

Su Yonglin was helpless, sighed, and nodded.

He did not continue to insist that Xin Qiji change his mind, because Xin Qiji would not change.

This question is left for discussion later, and then, they have more things to do.

That is to make every effort to prepare and convene the first session of the Central Representative Conference and the first session of the People's Representative Conference as soon as possible.

Through the results of these two meetings, Daming needs to officially announce that Daming will end the imperial system, end the rule of imperial power, and return to the ideal state of the Restoration Society as a democratic country.

As for this brand-new national system, Su Yonglin discussed it with everyone and decided to use a brand-new name to call the country.

Although the country name is Ming, it will not change, but the state system has actually changed. Daming is no longer the empire in the traditional impression of everyone. If there is no new country name, it is easy for people to continue to acquiesce that Daming is an empire. not good.

"In the past, many people used the title of [Empire] to replace the official country name of Daming. I am not very satisfied with this point. Daming no longer has an emperor, and the title of the empire cannot be used to refer to Daming. I strongly recommend choosing a brand new one. to determine the democratic attributes of the Ming Dynasty.”

The nine-member decision-making group began a collective brainstorm.

In the end, one of the choices that everyone is more inclined to choose is [Democracy]. Since we pay attention to democracy, we simply let the concept of democracy directly enter the country name. Daming can be called a Daming Democracy, which is more direct than anything else.

Su Yonglin prefers the term republic, so on the grounds that the first year of the republic was the beginning of the history of Chinese letters, he thought that the word republic could be added to the name of the country, and the name "Da Ming Democratic Republic" or "Republic" could be used instead of Daming.

Then Su Yonglin further proposed that after there is no emperor, there will be no imperial era, and it is not good to continue to use the Hongwu era. Daming needs a new era.

And because the Huaxia Era project has not yet made a breakthrough, it is still uncertain when it will be the beginning of the Huaxia Era. Therefore, the Republic era name that can be used as a historical record and has no special attributes is simply adopted as an alternative era name.

With the national attributes of the Ming Dynasty, the republic and the democracy are juxtaposed, giving the republic a new meaning, so that the republic can represent the new era and the long history of Chinese civilization, which has never been cut off from ancient times to the present.

In this way, it can not only be used to record the year, but also completely destroy the discussion of the extinction and inheritance of the Chinese civilization that some Confucian scholars once put forward.
