Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 181 Let the whole world surrender under the dragon flag of Ming Dynasty!

Gu Cheng originally "Dongning Daily". No, it has been changed to "Emperor Ming Daily"!

He was originally the editor-in-chief of "Huangming Daily". Because of his excellent writing style and personality praised by everyone, after Zhu Kezang ascended the throne, he was promoted to an official of the Ministry of Officials!
And Chen Xin is the captain of the imperial training team of the Daming Imperial Military Academy. He was originally a small worker in a cement factory. Education career!
Really give him the better!

It happened that the Ministry of Rites was suitable for him, so he was allowed to come here.

Chen Xin and Gu Cheng, both of them have not passed the imperial examination, but who cares?

As long as there is Zhu Kezang's optimism, he will not be able to run every step of the way.

At the court meeting, after a heated discussion, a keynote was first set, that is: the imperial lineage of the Ming Empire will never be easy, and it will be respected forever!
The second point is that the Ming emperor is sacred and inviolable.

You may be familiar with this place. This is the notorious "Imperial Constitution of the Qing Empire" copied by Zhu Kezang.

After that, Zhu Kezang and the ministers pondered the issue of the cabinet system.

He plans to expand the cabinet!
Simply copy the British House of Lords system. First of all, the secondary and shufu will be abolished, and the shoufu will be renamed the prime minister.

Then, the original Ming cabinet had at most six bachelors, namely Zhongjidian University, Jianjidian University, Wenhuadian University, Wuyingdian University, Wenyuan Pavilion and Dongge University.

Now, Zheng Kezang is about to change. The bachelors are collectively referred to as cabinet ministers, with the same rank, all of which are the fifth rank, and the number of seats has been increased, consisting of civil servants, Ming royal family, and military officials.

Of course, once a military attache becomes a cabinet minister, he will be relieved of his military duties and concentrate on politics.

The prime minister is elected by the cabinet!

But if you want to be the prime minister, there is a hard condition, that is, you must have more than five years of grassroots work experience, so as to ensure that the prime minister is down-to-earth.

In addition, the Ming royal family cannot run for prime minister.

Secondly, after the prime minister was elected, the emperor of Ming Dynasty had a veto power and had the right to propose the removal of the prime minister.

In this case, the power of the cabinet is compressed, and its current role is only to elect the prime minister and decide national affairs.

Other affairs are basically decided through the court meeting.

In fact, the cabinet is a bit like a parliament.

Seeing this, don't think that the Prime Minister is great.

Zhu Kezang stipulated in the "Ming Constitution" that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is the head of state and has legislative, administrative, and diplomatic powers.

At the same time, the Emperor Ming was the Grand Marshal of the Navy and Army, and civil servants had no right to intervene in all military affairs, including the Prime Minister.

Although the prime minister is elected by the cabinet, the prime minister is finally appointed by the emperor and is only responsible to the emperor.

In this part, Zhu Kezang again pirated the constitution of the German Empire.

The civil servants present were not stupid either. They saw that Zhu Kezang’s new system had both advantages and disadvantages for them. No matter whether they thought it was good or not, they had no choice but to admit it.

Because Chen Yonghua is the current chief minister, he did not need to be elected, and became the first prime minister of the new Ming Dynasty. He felt that the constitution was very good, and the powers of the emperor and his ministers were clearly stated.

At least it wasn't so detailed before, and it's okay for the emperor to mess around, but now at least the emperor can't go too far.

The matter of the constitution cannot be settled in a short while. The specific content needs to be held several times before all the court meetings can be settled. Zhu Kezang is not in a hurry.

He soon proposed a new thing at the court, and that was the national flag.

The current Ming Dynasty, or the Central Plains Dynasty, does not have the concept of a national flag. Many flags are mainly triangular flags, called banners."Flags" are commonly used on the battlefield, and the surnames of the generals of the army are usually painted on the flags.

It is important to mention the Sun and Moon Flag. In fact, the Sun and Moon Flag is not the official national flag.

It was after the switch of the Longqing Dynasty that the ships of the Ming Dynasty were hung up in order to distinguish them from ships of other countries.

A trade flag, so to speak.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty did not have a national flag. Although the folks used the sun and moon flag to represent the Ming Dynasty, it was never defined as the national flag of the Ming Dynasty.

That is Zhu Kezang loves to use the sun and moon flag, and even the guards use it together.

As a result, the Sun and Moon Banner is now equivalent to the military flag in New Daming.

As a new country created by Zhu Kezang, it cannot live without a national flag!

This stumped the ministers who were not artistically capable.

It may be okay to let them write calligraphy, but designing is somewhat beyond the scope of business.

However, some people were so excited that they started to paint on the spot.

Soon someone painted a picture for Zhu Kezang.

This person is Gu Cheng, a new official from the Ministry of Officials.

What he designed is: Tenglong flag!
I saw that there is a five-clawed green dragon walking in the sky in the painting, soaring through the clouds and fog, chasing the sun and the moon!
However, Zhu Kezang didn't seem to like it very much. He looked left and right, and the more he looked, the more he looked like the national flag of the later Qing Dynasty, which was bad luck.

Zhu Kezang just frowned slightly, not speaking out, he didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of his courtiers.

Moreover, many people think that Gu Cheng's national flag design is not bad, very domineering.

If it weren't for the Qing Dynasty later, Zhu Kezang reckoned that he would like this too.

"This flag can be used as the military flag of the Ming Empire!" Zhu Kezang said while rubbing his chin.

Upon hearing these words, the military officer below burst into joy.

After all, that is the dragon flag, how mighty it is.

However, some civil servants objected: "Your Majesty, the dragon flag is more suitable for royal use!"

Zhu Kezang shook his head and said: "The army of the new Ming Dynasty belongs to the royal family. The army will be collectively called the Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty, and then subdivided into the Guards and Yongwei Town. etc."

"Why can't the royal army use the dragon flag? The dragon flag can better represent the bravery and victorious momentum of the Ming army, but the background color is changed to red, because the Ming army is passionate!"

Zhu Kezang waved his fist and said impassionedly.

With these words, the civil servants below have nothing to say. The theory is too legitimate. The previous Ming Constitution also stated that everything in the army is under the control of the emperor. Now it is directly called the word royal, convinced!

The military officers below were overjoyed and took off!
For this reason, they knelt down in the hall to thank each other.

Wang Yang, who was named the earl, was the first to stand up and flatter: "I am willing to be His Majesty's pawn and swear allegiance to His Majesty to the death!"

Other military officers followed suit one after another: "Willing to be His Majesty's pawn, and swear to be loyal to His Majesty!"

Zhu Kezang looked at the familiar faces below. They were all soldiers who accompanied him through life and death. What's wrong with using a dragon flag?
With eager eyes, he continued to wave his fist and said: "I hope that in my lifetime, I can see that the dragon flag of Ming Dynasty is planted in every corner of the world, so that the whole world will surrender under the dragon flag of Daming!"
