Chapter 205 The Nanjing Declaration

The New Year is approaching. Although this is not the first time Shang Yi celebrates the New Year in Nanjing, it is the first New Year that Shang Yi will really spend as the master of Nanjing. Therefore, it feels very different. The feeling of holding power is of course quite good.

Speaking of this year, it has entered the sixth year of Shang Yi's era. The history of this time and space has been unrecognizable by the storm of Shang Yi's butterfly wings. This storm is still spreading from China to the world. If any historian in another time and space will be shouting that he can't understand it.

The initiator of this storm, Shang Yi, published an important declaration on behalf of Nanjing zhèng  fu in the year-end special issue issued by the [Hangzhou Times] on the 30th day of the 1647th year of Shunzhi in the Chinese lunar calendar (1647).

On the front page, Nanjing zhèng  fu published a new four-slogan "Expel the Tartars and restore the equality of the four Chinese people to the public"

The first two slogans were Shang Yi proposed the slogan system before the year and it can be understood as belonging to war only, and the last two slogans are completely expressed in the tone of a country or political proposition.

In the past, although Shang Yi had achieved extraordinary military achievements, he was still a minister of the Ming Dynasty in famous discussions and did not make much achievements in the political field. Therefore, his strength and attractiveness were far less than that of the Qing court. Many Ming troops chose to surrender to the Qing court instead of Shang Yi. Now, although Shang Yi was just king, he actually established a country and had to show some performance in the political field.

For a country that is still in troubled times, it is far from enough to improve administrative organizations and official positions, including a strong army. The most important thing is that the country's political program proposition, especially Shang Yi's goal is not just to be content with the Yangtze River, but to be determined by the world. Of course, it is necessary to announce its governing philosophy to the world.

To put it bluntly, it is to win the hearts of the people of the world that they say that they are much better politically than the other separatist forces at present, mainly the Qing court, so they have enough rationality to fight for the world.

Although Qi Yuan's face was savage and unrestrained, Xiu Ran said that political ideas were dependent on their own strength, but they could also achieve the effect that could not be achieved by force. In this regard, the Qing court was very smart because by force alone, the Mongols and Yuan were far stronger than the Eight Banners, but the Mongols ruled China for less than a hundred years, while the Qing court was nearly three hundred years because the Qing court put forward a very deceptive political slogan "The Manchu and Han Family" also made a lot of dazzling wives and wore cheeks to open up. The Han people in Beijing were convinced and worked for the Qing court. In another time and space, when the Qing emperor abdicated, he shouted that China could not be without the emperor and the farce that the director later avoided were actually Han people.

Of course, the political principle proposed by Shang Yi is not only to build momentum for himself, but also to encourage the development of industry and commerce to let China go to the modern path.

Therefore, in the declaration, it first proposed to establish a fair, notarized, enlightened and powerful country to China

In politics, the four people are equally abolished and obedient to the people. The division of untouchables allows scholars, farmers, industry and commerce to obtain freedom in personal, employment, residence, marriage, wear, etc. and expand the right of the people to participate in politics and make decisions.

In terms of economic development, the land clearing and distribution work is continued to be implemented, so that every farmer can own the land, allow the land to be traded, cultivated at will, and farmers to leave farmers, transfer to industry and commerce, and implement domestic self-employed trade. In addition, local governments shall not set up tax checkpoints other than the state regulations. At the same time, it has officially announced that the protection of personal private property is not allowed to obtain the consent of the owner. No one can infringe on the private property of others.

In terms of thinking, freedom of speech is implemented within the scope stipulated by law. Everyone can freely express their opinions and advocate the right to believe, gather, association, speech, publish, etc.

Many views in the declaration, such as equality among the four people, freedom of thought and speech, and encouragement of the development of industry and commerce, have also been put forward by some knowledgeable people in this era, of course, the notion of "private property is sacred and inviolable". Although no one has clearly put forward this before, similar concepts have not been accepted by people in this era. After all, no one wants their property to be protected.

In fact, most of these propositions have already begun to be implemented. However, it is now officially put forward as its own concept of governing the country. Therefore, this declaration is actually a policy outline of Shang Yi. Therefore, this declaration is also called [Nanjing Political Outline]. However, Shang Yi did not propose a constitution. The concept of separation of powers and parliament is mainly because people in this era cannot accept it for the time being.

After the release of the [Nanjing Declaration], the city of Nanjing was also warmly celebrated with lights and colors.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The first day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Shunzhi

From early morning to the beginning of the morning, the sound of firecrackers in Nanjing was constantly filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year. The Qing court and the Magic Sect's new stronghold in Nanjing, Jinxiu Mountain Villa Embroidery House also posted a sign at the door during the New Year.

In the past year, the embroidery shop had no major move except for the storm that made Shang Yi proclaim himself emperor when Shang Yi moved to Nanjing. They basically developed and recovered secretly. Although they have not yet reached the heyday of Ziming Building, they have also recovered a little bit of vitality and built an intelligence network with the embroidery shop as the core.

At this time, Mo Jingwei and Zi Linglong were studying the [Nanjing Declaration] published by the special issue of [Hangzhou Times] published yesterday by Xianjingtian.

The newspaper also smelled of ink, but both of them looked very serious because they both knew how much impact this declaration would have on the general trend of the world once it spreads.

Of course, the declaration itself is nothing but a miscellaneous. Is it just a sign that his political propositions will do this by any court, and Mo Jingwei and Zi Linglong do not believe that the content of the declaration is from Shang Yi's sincerity. For example, expanding the right of the people to participate in politics and discuss politics is actually just an empty word. For example, freedom of speech. Shang Yi added a position in front of the law. This has a considerable space for operation.

However, in conjunction with Shang Yi's early results, it was completely different. Although Shang Yi spoke completely in a state tone, after the four-party talks, the various forces in the south temporarily reached a consensus and recognized Shang Yi's title of King Bei and his fiefdom. In fact, it recognized Shang Yi's fact that Shang Yi was independent. Therefore, the effect of accusing Shang Yi with orthodox discussion was greatly reduced.

To put it bluntly, this is the same as the so-called slogan of the Manchu and Han family that the Qing court boasted, although it is known that it cannot be a scam, it can indeed make many people selectively blind. Moreover, the content published in the declaration is indeed more excellent than the current Xushifu, Xu Ye's current government policy is much better than that of the Qing court. It is also in line with the political propositions of some scholars and officials. This also shows that Shang Yi is trying to win the literati and dad, Wei Chen and Wu and other officials to steal the robbers.

Now everyone is pursuing the general trend of Chu is actually to compete between Beijing and Nanjing. Judging from the current situation, although Nanjing is less than half of Beijing's territory, it has gained a clear leading advantage, on the one hand, because Nanjing has won a complete victory in the early battles, on the other hand, the Qing court is still a foreign race after all, so it is still not as good as Shang Yi in name. Now Shang Yi has also begun to put pressure on the Qing court from the political field.

Moreover, Nanjing zhèng  fu has always been open-minded, notarized and honest. The image of the Qing Dynasty has appeared. Therefore, it can be imagined that once the declaration is released, it will inevitably bring considerable advantages to Shang Yi in politics. Of course, the Qing Dynasty will have a harder time.

Mo Jingwei smiled bitterly and said, "We still underestimate Shang Yi, but he didn't expect that he was not only good at using troops but also used political means to be no less than his ability to use troops. I think if this continues, the Qing court may have no hope of winning at all."

Zi Linglong also nodded and said, "It is obviously the largest force in the south, but he gave up calling himself emperor. He just called the king and appointed three Ming vassals as the truth. This is not something that everyone can do, but he only gave up a false reputation but stabilized the entire south and formally determined his status. I have to say that this transaction is indeed cost-effective."

Mo Jingwei said: "The only way now is to build cakes, grass, grass, and grass, and then assassinate Shang Yi. This is also the only place in Nanjing that is inferior to Beijing. All hopes are maintained in Shang Yi alone. There is no successor. As a result, if Shang Yi has an accident, Nanjing will collapse immediately. This is also our only chance to win."

Zi Linglong said: "You said you got it right, I don't oppose the assassination of Shang Yi, but it's not easy to assassinate Shang Yi. We are now resuming because we have never been able to kill Si Feng. Si Feng is plotting to contend with the conspiracy of the snail. What is the action of the last time that Shang Yi was encouraged to claim to be the emperor. Therefore, we only have one chance to assassinate Shang Yi. Once we fail, we will be exposed in Nanjing. So we are not sure of it and we must not take action."

Mo Jingwei also nodded and said, "I understand this, so I promised you that you must nod and agree before you start, so the same is true now."

Zi Linglong smiled and said, "It's great that you can think like this, but now you can start to prepare for the right time. But don't alert the snake. I have other plans."

Mo Jingwei was stunned and said, "What are your plans?"
