Qiming 1158

Chapter 603

The debate over the future is still raging.

First, the participants discussed the virtues of the new dynasty.

Some people think that according to the saying that the Five Virtues have always been said, the Jin Dynasty stood in the new dynasty, and the gold was the earth's virtue, and the native gave birth to the gold, so the new dynasty should be the Jinde.

Some people also think that the new dynasty was established against the Jin dynasty and completely destroyed the Jin dynasty. According to the five virtues, the new dynasty should be Mude.

The two factions were at odds with each other, and each had their own opinions.

Some people say that the five virtues have not been used for a long time, because this will hurt the feelings of the remnants of the previous dynasty and is not conducive to the rule of the dynasty, so the more moderate theory of the five elements will prevail.

Some say that there are any remnants of the Jin Dynasty?Who are you?

The two quarreled again.

In the end, Su Yonglin couldn't listen anymore, so he decided to make a decision.

The new dynasty overcame the Jin dynasty and stood, so the new dynasty was Mude, not Jinde.

The emperor decided, and the ministers died down, no longer arguing.

Next is the question of country names.

This issue is quite hotly debated.

Some people claim that Su Yonglin's ancestral home is in Shandong, and Shandong was Qi in ancient times, so the name of the new dynasty should be Qi.

Some people also say that Shandong is known as the land of Qilu, and the country of Guru is also in Shandong, so it is also possible to use Lu as the country name.

Some people say that Su Yonglin captured and destroyed the Jin Kingdom in the land of Yanyun, so the name of the new dynasty can be Yan.

Some people say that the Jin Dynasty was finally destroyed in Guanzhong, and Guanzhong was Qin, so the name of the new dynasty should be Qin.

They insisted on their own words and refused to give in to each other, and neither could persuade the other.

Su Yonglin pondered for a long time and came to his own opinion.

"The establishment of the new dynasty is not due to me alone. If it was only me, I would not be able to destroy the Jin Kingdom and establish a new dynasty. If all this is because of me alone, then the efforts and even my life would be sacrificed for the establishment of the new dynasty. What are people?"

Su Yonglin said this, but it made the people present feel a little surprised——

To build an empire, the greatest thing is of course the emperor himself. The emperor himself symbolizes the empire. Besides, what else is worth caring about?

Those who died in battle?

what are they?Is it worth the emperor to remember them so fondly?

No one has ever thought that they are worthy of memory. As long as they can live, they can get riches and honors, which is enough. When they die, it is called bad luck, and they can't blame others.

Of course, Su Yonglin's old team didn't find it very strange, because Su Yonglin always said this.

Before the bloody battle was really decided, Su Yonglin made it clear that he didn't think his own strength was enough to change the world, and he didn't think he could do so many things.

The reason why he can support him to that point is because there are thousands of like-minded people standing behind him. These people agree with his philosophy, trust his command, and give him endless power.

Because of their existence, Su Yonglin was able to get to that point and win against the trend, defeat Wanyan Alin, and win the final victory.

During this period, how many people died because of his great cause?

Without these people standing with him, throwing their heads and blood and fighting the Jin army to the death, how could the new dynasty be established?
cannot be established.

Su Yonglin stood up and stood in front of everyone, fondly recalling the past.

"Every time I think about the heroes and martyrs who died in battle to build this country, my heart aches. Compared with them, is my honor and disgrace really that important? The establishment of this country is not only due to the sacrifices of the living, but also to the heroes and martyrs. all that was paid.

The reason why the new dynasty was able to be established is because the soldiers of the Restoration Army fought on the front line, because the thousands of people and the people transported food and grain for the army in the rear, and it was because the ministers worked night clothes and food. This is due to the generosity of countless heroes who died. How can I stand out on top? "

"The country name of the new dynasty should not only consider me, but should consider all the people who fought to the end to build this country, and they should not be forgotten."

After that, Su Yonglin asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and he swiped down what he thought on the paper.

[For the sake of sacrifice and ambition, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky].

"It is the sacrifice of tens of millions of heroes that led to the restoration of the Central Plains today, and the restoration of Chinese orthodoxy. Without their sacrifices, without their heroic resistance, all this is a castle in the air, it's just a bubble."

"It only took me three years to go from a grass-roots citizen to an emperor, and from a rebel to a symbol of orthodoxy. It seems incredible, so I know that many of you think that this is because I have been destined to return, like a divine help."

"But only I know that I am a mortal, and the Restoration Army is an army of mortals. From being weak at the beginning to being strong today, how many people are pushing me behind my back, and how many people have sacrificed their lives for this? I won't forget them, and I can't forget them."

"They used their lives to lay the foundation for the restoration of the Central Plains and the well-being of the people. Because of them, from now on, wherever the sun and the moon shine on China's Shenzhou, it will be a happy land for Chinese people to live and work in peace!"

"For this reason, I decided to set the name of the new dynasty as - Ming!"

Su Yonglin resisted the emotions that were about to burst out of his heart, splashed ink, and wrote the huge word "Ming" on the paper, and then held it high, announcing his final decision.

This decision is not without shocking.

This is because since the Han Dynasty, the country names chosen by those who consider themselves to be the orthodox founding states of the Central Plains and call themselves emperors are either chosen from the feudal country titles that once existed on the land of China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or from the former fiefdom titles to show solemnity , for inheritance.

But when it came to Su Yonglin, things changed.

Su Yonglin's acquisition of the country is very righteous, which is widely recognized by everyone.

No matter who they are or what group they represent, they all think that Su Yonglin's approach to recapture the Central Plains from the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom under the slogan of "Expel Hulu and restore China" is reasonable.

Taking back the land of China Shenzhou from the barbarians and restoring the clothes of the Han family, even if the level of the righteousness of the country has been higher since ancient times, where can it go?
Not to mention compared with Zhao Song, even if compared with Huanghuang Datang, how can it be?

However, as the orthodox representative of the country that was far superior to that of the Song Dynasty, Su Yonglin chose a country name that was completely incompatible with etiquette for himself.

A strange country name of unknown origin.

Except for the old subordinates who felt emotional and tears filled their eyes, they almost wiped their tears in public, many others felt in their hearts that it was not appropriate to do so.

This is not traditional, nor can it seem more orthodox.

However, it was interesting to see Su Yonglin's speech, and the tears in the eyes of the old subordinates who led the soldiers. They felt that if they continued to oppose it, it would likely cause the collective anger of these soldiers.

It is definitely not a wonderful thing to be attacked by them at that time.

In the end, they couldn't understand Su Yonglin's feelings at all, and they couldn't understand the value of those "Qiu Ba" who sacrificed their lives for the establishment of the country in Su Yonglin's mouth.

But what Su Yonglin said was so moving, that's it, what else could it be?

Said he had acted?

Or ask him if this place is worth the red eyes and even tears?
Still happy?
Everyone says it's a paradise, but what's going on, don't you know in your heart?
It's just that no one cares about the life and death of those mud-legged people.

After all, the world is so big, there is only so much land, and there is only so much food produced. If those mud-legged people live well, everyone will not be able to enjoy luxury, and everyone will not be able to do whatever they want.

Su Yonglin said it so grandly, does he really believe that he has built a fairyland that allows people to live and work in peace and contentment instead of food and clothing?

Many officials who were well versed in the rules of governance secretly ridiculed Su Yonglin's actions.

Of course, they seemed to agree with Su Yonglin on the surface.

So, the decision was passed.

The country name of the new country was identified as [Ming].

The future country will exist on this land with a long history under the official title of "Ming Kingdom".

As for what people want to call it, whether it's the Great Ming Kingdom or the Great Ming Empire, it's there anyway.

In the end, Su Yonglin officially announced that he would officially ascend the throne on the [-]st day of October of this year and officially establish the Ming Kingdom.
