Chapter 804: The Founding Ceremony
In front of the rostrum, there are relatively few people who can stand, compared to the viewing platforms on both sides, there are many less, if all of them are full, at best there are sixty or seventy people, in fact, at this time on the rostrum, there are only 28 people, including 8 guards.
In addition to the guards, there are 20 people, and these 20 people, so to speak, are the entire Dingjun, which should not be called China after the rank ceremony, and the highest position is 20 people.
Among them, there are 7 military representatives, 8 government representatives, and Zhao Xin, as well as 4 attendants belonging to the inner government, except for Zhao Xin, they are all in the center of power, even if they are those attendants, they are already in charge of part of the government affairs independently, even if it is from Zhao Xin's rights, the trivial rights that are separated are also important and important.
Zhao Xin did not use the traditional method of being crowned by a respected minister, or the queen mother, the former did not exist in the Dinghai, and the latter, even if it was in the Dinghai, and was not far away, but there was no way to stand in front of the public.
Then, he put on the yellow robe and crown by himself, just to go through the process, and even this is just one of the processes of this ceremony, and there are many follow-up processes.
Because there are a lot of processes to go through, and there are even speeches and some future guidelines, which requires a host, and the host of this ceremony is Sun Ji.
Seeing Sun Ji walking to the side of the rostrum, in front of the pile of microphones, Han Qi almost suddenly asked, "What is Sun Ji doing here?" ”
"He's the host!" Sun Yuexi explained in a low voice.
"Host?"
Sun Yuexi briefly explained to the two the role of the host, such a profession was also available in the Northern Song Dynasty, but there was no special list, for example, at the court meeting, the host was the prime minister, and if the prime minister was not there, there would be some high-status and powerful officials to replace it.
Although it is said that the right to preside over the navy is not as great as that of the prime minister, it also represents an honor, and this presiding officer is Sun Ji, and it also represents that Sun Ji's status has reached a considerable level.
In fact, those who can stand on the rostrum are the top people in the Dinghai Navy, whether it is government affairs or military affairs, among them, Sun Ji is the most peak person.
I have to say that the circumstances are different, in Han Qi's eyes, Sun Ji was nothing a few years ago.
Even if he is expensive to bring imperial equipment, at that time in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were only 8 people with imperial equipment, they were the idols of soldiers, the idols of low-level officers, and the identity of this low-level officer has reached the peak, but he is just a soldier who can fight, not a general.
Even to a certain extent, as the imperial front, there is dignity, but how high the status is, it really can't be called, at best, it is a military attache of five or six grades.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the civil and military affairs were low, even if it was a civil official of the fourth or fifth grade, he could despise the military attachés of the first or second grades, the civil officials of the fourth and fifth grades, and the military attachés of the first and second grades, not to mention that Fu Bi and Han Qi were already close to participating in political affairs at that time. It can be said that except for the dozen or so civilian officials in charge, the rest are not in their eyes, let alone one with imperial equipment, at best he is a janitor or bodyguard, not even as good as ordinary military attachés and generals.
But in just five or six years, Sun Ji followed the right person, and in the future, he will become the first Minister of Defense of the Dinghai Navy, that is, the position of the first person in the military.
There is no Wen who is higher than martial arts, and even because of the opening of the territory, the martial arts rank is a little higher.
There is no army, no war, and where to open up the territory, in the battle to destroy Liao, the army played a very important role, at that time rewarded a lot of people, among them, Sun Ji only got the leadership award, but combined with the previous achievements, as well as the merits made when the navy was established, he became the first person in the military.
If, Sun Ji, can stay in the Northern Song Dynasty, what is his development like, in a few years, from a low-level officer, if he is released to the army, at most he will be the head of an army.
This army commander is not the army commander of later generations, the high-ranking official who is a high-ranking official, this army refers to the first army of the forbidden army, according to a battalion of 500 people, and an army of 5 battalions, such a military commander only has 2,500 people.
Such an officer, among the 800,000 forbidden troops, at least a thousand people, if the opportunity is good, and his own strength is enough, Sun Ji is still likely to get a greater promotion, for example, from the head of the army, to the commander.
The commander and the commander-in-chief, these are two completely different people, the commander, at most, is the commander of the troops, but the commander-in-chief is to look at the overall situation, not only need to train soldiers, but also need to command operations, and even protect the territory and the people, which is also the meaning of the commander.
Sun Ji's qualifications, the general manager who can be promoted, is already very unexpected, in Gao, it is not something that can be achieved in a short time, even if it reaches the peak of the army, in the eyes of the civilian government, it is not a very important role, this is the difference between cultural relics.
Sun Ji is considered to be the right person, when he arrived at the Ding Navy, with the support of Zhao Xin, he has achieved this position, even if it is a parallel position, he is on an equal footing with Han Qi, after all, he is the first person in the military, if you count the Ding Navy is higher than the Northern Song Dynasty, they also need to look up.
Looking up, this is what Han Qi thought in his heart, this is the comparison of the strength of the two sides, Dinghai started from scratch, and it took only a few years for it to really become, the object of their admiration, not to mention the leader of a military general like Sun Ji, even if it is Sun Yuexi, he is also a powerful figure, the two of them competed with him for a long time, and it was also by relying on Concubine Miao's behind-the-scenes strategy that they finally signed the contract.
What did Sun Ji say, in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was still an official with status, even if it was just a military attaché, but what is Sun Yuexi, before the establishment of the Dinghai Navy, he was just a little bit of a private school, and he couldn't even be called a scholar, such a person, after the training and study of the Dinghai Navy, became the vice minister of foreign affairs, if you talk about the level, that is, the deputy of the six departments, but between them,-for-tat, similar people, there are many, many more people in the Dinghai Navy, and the specialty is something that Han Qi has never been able to understand. Why, what kind of magic does the navy have?
Sun Ji cleared his throat next to the microphone, and then said softly: "All of them, the founding ceremony of China is about to begin!" ”
The microphone in front of Sun Ji, Han Qi and Fu Bi knew each other, and when they saw it for the first time, they were taken aback, and even in the embassy, it was smaller, and he was very curious about what it was at the time, but after using it, he felt that it was very useful.
The embassy has a conference room with 500 people, such a conference room is not available in the Northern Song Dynasty, even if it is a great court meeting, the total number of participants is not 500 people, the reason is very simple, when there are many people, it is impossible to guarantee that everyone can hear.
In fact, the focus of the court meeting is at the front, and those who are in power and participate in political affairs, and those who are in the back of the queue can hardly hear what is happening at the court meeting, and only those who shoulder the task and need to report will go forward to report in accordance with the procedure.
But the microphone and the speaker solve everything, as long as you speak softly, you can magnify it countless times and be heard by everyone in the room, which greatly reduces the speaker's energy.
You must know that at the court meeting, Zai Fu and the emperor, if they want to make their voices heard, let those who need to hear them, they need to deliberately raise their voices, and even some important decrees of the emperor, they often need some eunuchs with loud enough voices to read them out on the main hall, so that more people can hear them as much as possible.
Obviously, this should be an enlarged version of Dinghai's speaker, because looking at the number of microphones, it is quite a lot, and in terms of sound, they are not too close, but they can hear it quite clearly, and the 400,000 people below, it seems, most of them have heard it, and some of the people who are standing a little relaxed have also straightened their waists, and the founding ceremony is about to begin.
This kind of microphone and horn is just a simple application of electricity, Zhao Xin is not a physicist, and he doesn't know what kind of thing the speaker is, but the simple role is still known, through the sound into electromagnetism, and then the electromagnetic through amplification, vibration is released, this is the principle of the megaphone and the speaker.
After electricity became the key to research in the laboratory, the research on this horn soon became a real thing, after all, this is not difficult, it is just an electrical and magnetic conversion process.
This has also become the basis of the entire outdoor ceremony, otherwise, without this amplification device, even if Zhao Xin's physical function far exceeds that of ordinary people, can the power of a simple voice be heard by everyone?
Now the perfect layout of the speaker network, spread all over the Wumen Square under nearly 100 speakers, so that on average, every 2 hectares of space, there is at least one speaker, can clearly transmit every word, every word, to everyone's ears.
Sun Ji did not stay in front of the microphone, how long to stay, a brief opening remarks, and sorted out the discipline, and then began to introduce, mainly for the founding ceremony, briefly told the process of the founding ceremony, and introduced the history of the development of the Dinghai Navy.
This process is very fast, only ten minutes, Han Qi and Fu Bi, it is the first time to hear the entire process of the founding ceremony, the two of them are very young officials, and they have not experienced the change of the throne, Renzong has been in power for more than 20 years, 20 years ago, Han Qi and Fu Bi let alone entered the court, even if they have not passed the imperial examination.
As the governor and the governor, they still read the record of the enthronement, and said unceremoniously that it is much more complicated than that of the Dinghai, and Renzong was only a 12-year-old child back then, but he was fiddled with for a long time in this enthronement ceremony.
On the atmosphere, the founding ceremony of the Dinghai Navy, compared to the Northern Song Dynasty, I don't know where it will be higher, not to mention anything else, without this microphone, it is almost impossible for every one of these 400,000 people to hear it.
In fact, after seeing this speaker, Han Qi also proposed that he wanted to introduce this, but unfortunately he was rejected in the end, and the reason was electricity.
Electricity, this very strange thing, I heard, and the lightning in the sky, is of the same nature, this kind of thing, can not be stored, must be used quickly, and without the power network and generator set, there is no way to reproduce in the Northern Song Dynasty, so everything related to electricity, can not get the Northern Song Dynasty.
For this explanation, Han Qi has no choice, electricity is a very strange thing, not to mention that the Northern Song Dynasty has not seen it, and has never heard of it, although in his heart, he feels that this may be the intention of the Dinghai Navy, but they don't understand, and there is no way, perhaps, in the future, let these envoys pay more attention to this, it should be better.
After Sun Ji's introduction, Zhao Xin stepped into the position of the microphone, and as soon as he stood up, thunderous applause rang out below, the volume was amazing, almost suppressing the sound of the horn.
Han Qi and Fu Bi were slightly surprised, if it were someone else, they might engage in this kind of formalism, but in Zhao Xin, there was no need to do it like this.
In the middle of this, Fu Bi has more feelings than Han Qi, and has more right to speak, he has been in Shenyang for a longer time, in a few months, he has traveled almost all over the entire Dinghai Navy, visited a lot of factories, and personally contacted a lot of workers, it is this front-line information that makes him understand that Zhao Xin's prestige in the current Dinghai Navy can be said to be a Buddha of ten thousand families.
This is not a flattering statement, but the real fact, for the first batch of people who came to Dinghai, Zhao Xin almost changed their fate, what kind of people did they come from, that is the victims of the disaster in Lianghuai, these victims can't survive, only came to Dinghai, according to the previous experience of escaping famine, maybe this time a few families, it is good to be able to leave one-third.
But in the Dinghai Navy, except for a few who are really weak and seriously ill and cannot be treated, most of them survived, this is the grace of life, and the others are also at the bottom of all places, Zhao Xin gave them the opportunity to live, gave them the opportunity to change, let them become workers, and be able to control their own destiny, because of the appearance of Zhao Xin, they have their own houses, real estate and all kinds of wealth, some are married, have children, drink water and think of the source, Zhao Xin is the only object of their gratitude.
It can be said unceremoniously that Zhao Xin not only became the pinnacle of the emperor at this moment, but also the highest peak among all the founding emperors, all the founding emperors before Zhao Xin, the prestige may not be much worse, but in En, it is 108,000 miles away, among all the kings, only Zhao Xin, so caring about the people, from the beginning to the present, has not changed.
Zhao Xin had already stopped it repeatedly, but the applause and cheers lasted for more than ten minutes, and then slowly stopped, and when the surroundings calmed down, Zhao Xin began to recite the declaration of the founding ceremony.
