Chapter 85 The Chinese Empire
Forced by Lu Linfeng's threat, Guangxu wrote an edict to abdicate, held a court meeting the next day, and invited ministers from various countries to China to watch the ceremony, announced his abdication, and ceded the throne to Lu Linfeng.
Li Hongzhang was the first to express his stance, followed by many of his disciples who expressed support for Lu Linfeng to take over as emperor. When the news that Emperor Guangxu announced his abdication and abdicated the throne spread throughout the country via telegraph, several feudal ministers controlled by Lu Linfeng expressed their support for Lu Linfeng to take over the throne.
After nearly two months, the situation finally stabilized. On April 4, Lu Linfeng officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, changing the country's name to the Empire of China. The Democratic Republic of Dongkun revoked its national title, changed its name to Taiwan Province and incorporated it into the territory of the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire implemented a dualist constitutional monarchy. The head of the empire was the emperor, who was held by Lu Linfeng. He had the power to appoint the prime minister and senior officials, convene and dissolve parliament, and declare war. He was also the supreme commander of the army. The current first cabinet prime minister is Li Hongzhang.
Of course, Lu Linfeng's ascension to the throne also made one person uncomfortable, and that was Sun Dapao, who was still preaching revolution and overthrowing the monarchy everywhere. Of course, Lu Linfeng did not take Sun Dapao seriously, and he could not always be the emperor of the Chinese Empire. A constitutional monarchy would definitely be implemented in the future, and it would not be a bad idea to let Dapao form a political party by then.
After Lu Linfeng ascended the throne, he invited ministers from various countries to China. He said to everyone: "I invite all the ministers to come here today. I have something to announce to you."
"I wonder what's going on?" the British minister asked quickly.
"From now on, I will not recognize the legality of any unequal treaty signed by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties with your country. I will not take back the money that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties compensated you, but the land that was cut off by you must be returned. "
"This is impossible!" The Russian minister jumped up first. In recent decades, they were the country that occupied the most land in China through unequal treaties. Lu Linfeng was obviously targeting them.
Lu Linfeng looked at the Russian minister and said, "Then you'd better be prepared to change to another tsar. But you still have time to discuss it. I'll give you a month to think about it."
Lu Linfeng looked at Xiaori's minister to China and said: "From now on, China and Japan are in a state of hostility, and all Japanese property in China will be confiscated. I will give you 48 hours to evacuate. Each Japanese is only allowed to take away his own property." personal belongings. After 48 hours, all Japanese who have not evacuated will be arrested."
"You! You! The Japanese Empire will not let you go!" Minister Xiaori shouted.
"Come here!" Lu Linfeng shouted, and a snake demon soldier came in from outside and saluted and said, "Your Majesty!"
"Destroy the Japanese Imperial Palace and Yasukuni Shrine immediately." Lu Linfeng said calmly.
"Yes!"
The snake demon soldier saluted again and walked out quickly. Soon, everyone heard the unique roar of the aircraft.
Everyone now knows that Lu Linfeng's aircraft flew directly from Taipei to Beijing two months ago, and it only took two hours to arrive. The distance from Beijing to the Japanese capital is only 2500 kilometers, and it may take up to four hours to get there. Although they didn't know the endurance of Lu Linfeng's aircraft, since he dared to let them go, they would probably be able to make a round trip.
Although Minister Xiaoli didn't believe that Lu Linfeng's aircraft could fly to Japan, he still ran out to send a telegram out of caution.
In the afternoon, Lu Linfeng's aircraft came back, and the ministers from various countries also learned about the situation in the Japanese capital through telegrams: the Japanese Imperial Palace and Yasukuni Shrine were completely destroyed. Emperor Meiji left the palace early because he had received the telegram from the minister to China earlier. , thus dodging a disaster. This attack only caused damage to the building and no casualties, but the economic losses and impact were huge.
This time it was because Lu Linfeng said in advance that he would destroy the Xiaori Palace and Yasukuni Shrine, but what about next time? If he is displeased, and he simply sends an aircraft to wreak havoc in your capital, you have no choice.
Half a month after the Japanese palace was destroyed, the Hawaiian Kingdom sent an envoy.
"This is the letter of credence given to you by Her Majesty the Queen." The messenger handed over a letter.
In fact, this was just a formality, and the content of the letter was what Lu Linfeng told Queen Liliuokalani. This means that China and Xia have established diplomatic relations. The Kingdom of Hawaii hopes that Lu Linfeng can send troops to station in the Kingdom of Hawaii to protect the security of the Kingdom of Hawaii. As a price, the Kingdom of Hawaii was willing to give Midway Island and Wake Island to Lu Linfeng as its private territory.
Before the restoration of the Kingdom of Hawaii, although Americans were excited, Congress has been wrangling and has not yet sent a fleet. Now that the Kingdom of Hawaii has been protected by Lu Linfeng, it does not dare to send warships.
After getting Midway Island and Wake Island, Lu Linfeng immediately came to "Special Forces", bought a bunch of building materials from here, and took away a batch of 98k from Jin Sanpang, and then returned to the world of "Ghost Fighting Ghost" . He placed construction materials on Midway and Wake Island, and left a few people, some robots, and some other supplies and equipment to build a base here.
After leaving domestic affairs to Prime Minister Li Hongzhang, Lu Linfeng went to visit Germany.
The straight-line distance from Beijing to Berlin is more than 7,000 kilometers. It departs early in the morning and arrives in the evening. This speed surprised the whole world.
Lu Linfeng came to visit Germany because he wanted to sign a series of agreements with Germany to help the Chinese Empire achieve industrialization.
The big companies in Germany are very excited about Lu Linfeng's arrival, which shows that they will have a large order. They need China's vast market, and China is also a resource-rich country. They can import many mineral resources from China. China and Germany are located on opposite sides of the world and have no conflict of interest. They can even be said to be natural allies.
Lu Linfeng stayed in Germany for a week and signed a series of cooperation projects with Germany. Although the Germans were very interested in Lu Linfeng's aircraft, they also knew that it was impossible for Lu Linfeng to share it with them, so they did not mention it directly. However, some of the information Lu Linfeng provided about medicine, new materials, and new technologies made the Germans say that they had made a lot of money.
After leaving Germany, Lu Linfeng came to the Netherlands.
The Netherlands paid great attention to Lu Linfeng's arrival. The current Queen Wilhelmina and her mother Princess Emma (who was regent at this time) personally welcomed Lu Linfeng.
Although there are two women in power in the Netherlands, and the fifteen-year-old Wilhelmina is still a beauty, Lu Linfeng will not show mercy. After both parties sat down in the palace, Lu Linfeng expressed his intention of coming very straightforwardly.
"My visit to your country this time is to discuss with you the Lanfang Republic, the Natuna Islands and the Anambas Islands." Lu Linfeng said.
At this time, Wilhelmina still knew something about her country's colonies in Southeast Asia. She asked, "Do you want these two places?"
Lu Linfeng nodded and said: "I won't ask for it in vain. I will buy these two places with 5 tons of gold."
Princess Emma said: "It's very clear to the Natuna Islands and Anambas Islands, but the original territory of Lanfang Republic..."
