In the afternoon of the next day, when Feng Yunshan took the imperial ship "Hong Kong", the first official battleship of the Chinese Empire, across the sea off the mouth of the Pearl River, and arrived at the Admiralty Wharf in the north of Hong Kong, Feng Yunshan knew that this was the most famous Central area in later generations. Thinking about life, it is really strange, I didn't have the opportunity to go to Hong Kong in the later life, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to come in ancient times.

When the "Hong Kong" approached the pier, Feng Yunshan stood on the deck, deliberately looking at the scene of Hong Kong Island in this era. In front of you, there is a steep mountain, and there are many rocks and slopes on the mountainside, and there are not many trees, which looks a little bare. At the foot of the mountain, many three- and four-storey buildings are stacked on top of each other, densely packed together, and there are several outlines of small fishing villages leaking out of the side, presumably because the place is narrow and the land is reclaimed to build houses.

It's really modern!

No sea breeze, no seabirds, a tranquil bay.

From today onwards, this bay no longer needs to be called Victoria Harbour, and this Hong Kong is no longer the Oriental Pearl in Queen Victoria's crown. Feng Yunshan came to his senses amid cheers, and the ship had already docked.

The guards around him became nervous, and the merchant ships at the dock had already been cleared aside, and around the dock on the shore, the soldiers of the capture army who had arrived in advance had stopped them to prevent idle people from entering and leaving, but even so, on the steps of the square outside the dock, and even on the roofs of the buildings, and from the trees in the distance, there were people watching this side. The crowd was densely packed, just like a fan scene of a star coming to a certain place to pick up the airport in later generations.

Feng Yunshan stood on the deck and beckoned to the soldiers and onlookers in the distance, and suddenly the crowd became excited, and a tsunami-like voice came: "Long live, long live!" ”

It's really nice to have a look at the small feeling of all beings! However, Feng Yunshan's heart at the moment was more of a bizarre thought: I don't know how many years later, one day in the 21st century, will there be a monument to the dock he stepped on, and the emperor will go to the island! The mountains in the distance, this wharf, and even the houses behind them will remain under the erosion of time, even if they change their appearance, and themselves, the people around them, and this cheer, will eventually be annihilated and dissipated by time.

After getting off the boat, Wu Chongyao, the governor of Guangdong, Lei Xuehai, the prefect of Guangzhou, Hong Renji, the magistrate of Nanhai County, and some officers of the captive army, were already shouting long live on the wharf mountain, and behind them were dozens of Chinese businessmen on Hong Kong Island, all of whom deliberately showed their short hair to show the Chinese empire.

Tan Tiyuan, deputy commander of the Nanyang Fleet, and Zeng Guoquan, commander of the 38th Division, led hundreds of soldiers of the capture army to open the way in front, and Feng Yunshan was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army and Liu Shengbang and others, and rushed to the governor's palace not far from the side by taking the bullet-proof Tianzi Luanyu, which had been sent long ago.

Along the way, passing through the Admiralty area, the barracks, hospitals, churches, warehouses, and houses built by the British were presented one by one, but Feng Yunshan was no longer interested in it at the moment.

In front of the Governor's Palace, the British Governor in Hong Kong, William Kin, the Deputy Governor-General, the Chief of Police, Charles May, the Assistant Secretary, and a number of public officials of the Governor's Palace, as well as dozens of British officers, were lined up in two rows to greet the Emperor of the Chinese Empire.

Looking at the somewhat depressed foreigner in front of him, Feng Yunshan felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

In the entire hall on the first floor of the Governor's Palace, hundreds of people were present but silent, and the audience stood solemnly, several pairs of white eyes stared at the red background and yellow star flag in Tan Tiyuan's hand, and the soldiers of the begging army saluted even more. This was a moment when the Chinese Empire raised its eyebrows, and it was also a moment that will go down in history for future generations.

Without speaking, Bao Ling, the governor of Hong Kong, who had been prepared for a long time on the opposite side, seemed to be a few years older at this moment, and walked to the middle of the main hall with some staggering steps to stand still, grabbed the rope on a wooden pole in the middle of the main hall in his hand, and pulled down the British rice flag on the top of the wooden pole quite heavily. With the rapid lowering of the rice-shaped flag, Tan Tiyuan stepped forward to take the rope in Bao Ling's hand, tied the flag of the Chinese Empire in his hand to the rope, and slowly raised the yellow star flag on a red background, symbolizing the end of the flag-lowering and flag-raising ceremony of the handover of the two countries' rule over Hong Kong.

By some time, Bao Ling and some other British men and soldiers were gone, and only the lieutenant governor, William Kyan, remained in place.

Then, under the escort of 88 soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, Feng Yunshan came to a hall that had been prepared for a long time, and the cheers in the hall came one after another, and the shouts of "Long live, long live" resounded throughout the hall.

The audience was boiling. Zeng Guoquan's eyes were flushed, and this feeling of raising his eyebrows was the first time since he grew up. He finally understood the intention of his eldest brother Zeng Guofan to let his people submit to Feng Yunshan before he died, this is the lord of Daixiong, for the Han people, and for the whole of China, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is completely incomparable.

Feng Yunshan cleared his throat, feeling a sense of sacred and glorious mission enveloping him, and his nose was a little sour. Yes, this time he specially explained that he wanted to hold a handover ceremony in Hong Kong, although it was not very high-profile, but it was enough to make the majority of businessmen on Hong Kong Island understand that they were always part of the Chinese Empire. However, this is not the real reason why he came to Hong Kong to carry out this ceremony, the real reason is actually that he himself can't say clearly.

Perhaps, it was to make up for the fact that in 1997, when he was still a student, he could not come to Hong Kong to participate in the historic moment when the Chinese nation was proud of himself. After all, this is the first land to be ceded in recent history, and it is enough to be proud to be able to recover it in your own hands.

Perhaps, it is to stimulate himself and the officials around him, the glory of the Chinese empire and the cohesion of the Chinese nation. After all, in this era, the concept of the Chinese nation is far from being widely publicized, and it is just right that we can take this opportunity to unite the people of the country and publicize it in a big way.

Perhaps, it's to chase the feeling of time being out of order. After all, the return of Hong Kong can make him feel like he is back to the good times of his student days in 97 and "Meet 98".

"Spread my will, in this island that has been lost for 16 years, set up a county system, as a special free trade county in Hong Kong, continue to maintain the momentum of today's trade, Hong Kong County is not under the jurisdiction of the governor of Guangdong, directly under the jurisdiction of Nanyang Company, responsible for me." Feng Yunshan was a little excited, the voice that should have been talking eloquently and speaking loudly trembled slightly at the moment, he simply didn't say anything about it, but announced the establishment of Hong Kong County.

This has been thought about for a long time, don't end Hong Kong Island by the British rule in advance, resulting in Hong Kong Island like other islands can no longer develop, therefore, he listed Hong Kong Island as a special county, become the world, by the Nanyang Company unified management of the company, in this way, it will purely become a base for trade transit, play its due role.

When he calmed down a little, Feng Yunshan opened his mouth again, and just wanted to talk eloquently like those speakers in later generations, but he heard everyone present shouting long live, and had to interrupt a few times, and finally had to stretch out his hands and press down to quiet down the enthusiastic people: "My brothers and sisters, the people of the Chinese Empire, today is a beautiful and meaningful day, the "Treaty of Nanjing", which was humiliated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty 16 years ago, has finally been practically and completely abolished starting today. It's not that foreigners give us back kindness, and it's not something that I can do by just making a decree, it's relying on what, relying on my people, it's all of you. Without the soldiers of the captive army fighting to kill the enemy on the front line, they would not have allowed the foreigners to give in, let alone defend the territory of the Chinese Empire, so I would like to thank the soldiers for sacrificing their lives. At the same time, I would like to thank all the people of the Chinese Empire, my people! Without peasants to farm, everyone would go hungry; Without the workers in the factories making steel and making weapons, everyone would not have won the war; Without the economic dealings of the merchants, I would have no money in my pocket, and I would not be able to pay my salaries and salaries...... Therefore, I would like to thank you for all of you who are useful and helping me to govern this country. As long as you persist in working hard, the Chinese Empire will become stronger and stronger, and you will not be afraid of being bullied by foreigners, and I believe that I can make you live a better life, and everyone in the entire Chinese Empire will have food, clothing, and a place to live......"

What was said later was not heard clearly by the people present, except for the sound of a mountain shouting long live, which covered everything and resounded through the roof of the Governor's Palace, over the quiet of Hong Kong in the afternoon. Hong Kong Island, because of the appearance of Feng Yunshan, returned to the embrace of the motherland 140 years earlier than the history of later generations.
