Daming 1805

Chapter 192 New Years
Keeping the New Year's Eve, some people really follow the Spring Festival, so they also follow the New Year's Eve.

Some people just can't sleep.

The imperial power of Ming Dynasty will be officially handed over tomorrow, and a new era is about to begin.

It is a new era in Ming Dynasty, and it is also a new era in Western countries.

The attitude of the new emperor of Ming Dynasty towards the countries of Thailand and the West may directly affect the fate of many people.

I don't know how many people waited all night with apprehension and anticipation.

The next morning, Zhu Jianyan's enthronement ceremony was held in the Ming capital.

The news of the Great Ming Dynasty changing to "Ankang" was announced to the world at noon.

All the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, as well as all the countries with which they have established official ties, have received the notification telegram sent by the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty.

The staff who received the telegram immediately sent the telegram to the high-level hands of the country.

Almost all European and Western countries immediately held small-scale cabinet meetings and imperial recalls.

Countless princes and nobles, elite businessmen, and countless high-level intellectuals all over the world looked at and analyzed these two words together.

The meaning of the word Ankang is very simple and very auspicious.

Ann, safety, stability, tranquility.

Kang, health, wealth, Kangtai.

The royal families, nobles and officials of the Thai and Western countries were relieved to hear the explanation of these two words.

The selection of the reign name of Daming is relatively random now.

Basically, it depends on the emperor's mood to choose two auspicious characters.

These two words can usually reflect the attitude and direction of the new emperor towards the future.

Although the peaceful years that just ended were not at all peaceful, the world war was to some extent provoked by the countries of Thailand and the West, and Ming really hoped for peace.

The era of the most wars in the Ming Dynasty was the "Renwu" Dynasty of the ancestor emperor Zhu Cihong of the Ming Dynasty.

There is hardly a year without war. The early stage is an internal unification war, and the later stage is an external war.

Most of those wars were initiated by Ming Dynasty.

Historians of later generations all said that Emperor Shizu's benevolence was internal, while Wu was external.

Countries other than Ming Dynasty really don't want Ming Dynasty to issue a year name with the character "Wu".

If the new emperor of Ming Dynasty chooses a reign title such as Shenwu or Baye, then the Thai and Western countries will definitely become tense immediately, worrying that the new emperor will launch a war again at any time.

Even if Qiansheng and Jianxing are selected as exciting and powerful year titles, people outside of Daming will worry about Daming adopting a tougher external stance.

Now the new emperor of Ming Dynasty has chosen the simple and straightforward year name of Ankang, which shows that he hopes that Ming Dynasty can be peaceful and stable, and that the people of Ming Dynasty can be healthy and prosperous.

Want stability, want to make money.

Many people speculate that Zhu Jianyan deliberately chose these two words to convey his desire for stability.

Now this meaning is well conveyed.

The whole world breathed a sigh of relief.

The whole world is celebrating the Spring Festival with lanterns and festoons.

What follows is a worldwide holiday lasting fifteen days.

After the end of the World War, Da Ming just resumed the previous rhythm.

According to the rules of Emperor Chengzuwen of the Ming Dynasty, officials of the Ming Dynasty did not go to work until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

So there is no need to think about dealing with the Ming court these days.

All countries in Thailand and the West can also feel completely at ease for half a month.

Driven by Daming, the whole world will enter a holiday or a holiday state.

London, England.

The first day of the first month of the first year of Ankang.

In the afternoon in the capital of Ming Dynasty, it was just dawn in London.

The British crown prince, regent, and Prince George of Wales, after listening to the minister's interpretation of the Ming Dynasty's new name at the cabinet meeting, finally completely let go of his heart.

"As long as Da Ming also wants peace..."

The meeting held specifically for the new year of Ming Dynasty is over.

The Prince of Wales joined his daughter, brother and sister, and took them to pay New Year's greetings to his father George III and his mother, Queen Charlotte.

Old King George III has not been fully sober since falling ill last year.

Most of the time, it can be regarded as semi-conscious, barely able to understand some things, but unable to take the initiative to do something, unable to make a clear response.

For the rest of the time, I just babble alone, so I can't listen to anything.

In this case, it is obviously impossible to perform the duties of the king.

It is a relatively warm thing for the eldest son to bring his younger brother, younger sister, and daughter to pay New Year's greetings to his parents.

However, it was not the case in front of George III.

George III looked at these children and went up.

George III's mental illness is likely to be related to his group of children.

George III and the queen had a total of fifteen children. Except for two who died young, thirteen of them have grown up, which is considered a high yield in the world.

Among the thirteen adult children, the youngest Princess Amelia is now 23 years old, and the oldest George, the Prince of Wales, is 43 years old.

However, among the thirteen children, only the eldest prince, the second prince, and the eldest princess are married normally.

Although the others are not single, they all have mistresses or lovers, and even married in private.

But in the British royal family law, they are all unmarried, that is, their marriage and love affair cannot be accepted by George III, and they do not meet the requirements of George III.

Even for the first three children who were normally married, their respective married lives are completely abnormal. Currently, they are all separated in two places and fooling around with their lovers and mistresses.

The Prince of Wales also leaves behind a legitimate daughter, and the others have none.

In Daming, there is an old man with a house full of children, but they are all fooling around indifferently. There is only one grandchild who can enter the family tree, and this mental state is unlikely to be good.

When George III watched the children come in, he was obviously agitated, and seemed to have a tendency to lose control.

The Prince of Wales immediately looked at his little sister.

Princess Amelia, who was frail and sickly, was the favorite of King George III, but she fell in love with a nobleman who was 23 years older than herself...

In history, it was the news of Princess Amelia's death that George III went completely crazy and never recovered.

Amelia also has a good relationship with the king's only granddaughter, her own little niece Charlotte.

Amelia immediately understood what her elder brother meant, and immediately pulled her little niece Charlotte past everyone to say hello to her father:

"Dad, are you okay?"

Nine-year-old Charlotte leaned directly on her grandpa and reported loudly with great joy:

"Grandpa, grandpa, Charlotte is queen now!"

When George III saw his youngest daughter and only granddaughter, his confused expression eased significantly.

Listening to Charlotte's words, the old king seemed to realize something, and said two quite complete sentences:
"Charlotte is queen? Is your father George dead?"

This George refers to his eldest son, the Prince of Wales.

The other brothers and sisters immediately looked at their eldest brother with a suppressed smile.

Dad is mentally abnormal, thinking about whether you are dead...

Charlotte has already explained to her grandfather:
"Daddy is not dead, Charlotte is not Queen of England, Charlotte is Queen of America."

George III was stunned again, and at the same time subconsciously asked:

"Queen of America? Kingdom of America? Have we established a new kingdom in America?"

Princess Charlotte nodded as a matter of course:
"Yeah, grandpa, I'm going to be the queen of America in the future. I heard that the sunshine in America is very good, it's not as dark as London. Aunt Amelia can also go there to recuperate..."

George III looked up at the others:
"Whose idea was it to establish the Kingdom of America?"

The surrounding queens, princes, and princesses were completely stunned when they looked at George III.

Everyone found that George III's speech became smoother, and he could express his thoughts normally.

Queen Charlotte was the first to react, and immediately went to her old man's side, asking in surprise:
"Honey, are you awake? Can you understand me now?"

George III nodded slowly:
"I... should be awake. I feel like I'm suddenly much better. Maybe it's because little Charlotte and Amelia are here, and this American kingdom..."

The queen hugged her husband very excitedly.

George III patted his wife on the back and looked at the children in front of him.

Looking at their faces, seeing them standing here alone, I immediately feel panicked again.

He quickly shook his head and didn't think about those troublesome things. After all, he had a granddaughter.

His granddaughter became the queen of America.

So George III asked again about the details of the American kingdom.

The Prince of Wales was stunned for a long time before he fully accepted the fact that his father was awake again.

The Prince of Wales has a character of vacillating left and right. In the face of his father's inquiries, he just talked about the things these days intermittently.

There is basically nothing to hide, and there is nothing to add embellishment, but I try my best to shirk responsibility.

After listening, George III nodded solemnly and said:

"Pete did a good job, the United Kingdom cannot afford to lose the United States, but the concessions are still too great.

"Let them establish a parliament, let them have their own kingdom, and arrange an independent king.

"And even if it is the king, it should be you, not the child Charlotte."

The Prince of Wales is under a lot of stress these days, and immediately complained when he heard what his father said:

"Because you're not here, I can't control those ministers, they don't listen to me at all."

George III directly hated the sky and said:
"If you can make up your mind, there is always a way to make them obey you.

"You can't decide by yourself, Pete can only compromise with Fox.

"Call the imperial meeting tomorrow... no, call it immediately..."

The Prince of Wales said with some anxiety:
"What are you going to do? Repeal the Regency Act?"

George III made a decision after a very short pause:
"You continue to be Regent of the United Kingdom, and I don't know how long you can stay sober.

"I'm just helping you make some decisions, but I can't help you for too long..."
