The Mid-Autumn Festival is not only in the Great Song Dynasty, but also in the Greater Song Dynasty, as the scope of maritime businessmen's activities is getting larger and larger, there will be many people in many cities around Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean who follow the habits of the Great Song Dynasty to celebrate this festival. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 In essence, this is also a cultural invasion, when the strong party brings the language, writing, and living habits, and the weak party unconsciously passively accepts it, the invasion process is basically completed.

However, the Jinhe Empire is an exception, although the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a legal holiday in the Jinhe Empire, but this custom was not brought by maritime merchants, but by the Han people, the second largest ethnic group in the empire. Whether it is the Han people in the north or the immigrants of the Great Song Dynasty, they still maintain their original customs and habits, plus the Tan family, which is no different from the Han people, if you don't look at the race, living in the Jinhe Empire, most of the customs and habits are actually no different from those in the coastal cities in the southern Song Dynasty.

But this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is different from previous years, because there is an additional event after the festival, the military parade!

On the morning of August 22, the square at the entrance of the library of Jinhe City was crowded with people dressed in festive costumes and dragging their families to see the lively residents of the empire. Half a month ago, the imperial government had already issued a notice saying that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the empire would hold a grand military parade. This is the first military parade held by the imperial government since its establishment, and no one has ever seen what the parade is like, so we must come and see the excitement. Not only the residents of Jinhe City are curious, but there are also many people who come by boat from Mayi Port and Brunei Port to see.

"Oh my mom! Da Liu, look, it's all your fellow countrymen! Originally, I thought you were black, but now it seems that you are still white. Look at them, this is really black! A barrage of cannon salutes sounded in the square, and the parade officially began. The first phalanx that came out of the barracks from the east made the eyes of the people watching the ceremony dark! That's right, it's either a typo, or it's black. The soldiers in this phalanx are all made up of blacks, and even though there are all kinds of people in the Golden River Empire, everyone has long been accustomed to different skin colors. But this is the first time I have seen so many and such neat black teams.

"This isn't my fellow countryman, their tribe should be further north of Cape Town." This is a black immigrant explaining to those close to him, and his statement on this issue is more authoritative.

"The first group to come from the east was the Zulu Regiment of the Imperial African Korps, all of them from the eastern part of Cape Town Harbour, and their flag was embroidered with a local seabird, and the color of their uniforms was the color of seabird feathers, cyan; Wearing colourful striped uniforms at the back are the Bushmen from the northern region of Cape Town Harbour, whose flags are embroidered with a local bird of prey. As the team got closer and closer, some of the cadets standing in front of the crowd raised their trumpets and began to introduce the situation of each team to the nearby people. When the procession walked in front of the rostrum, the soldiers raised their right hands in the air and saluted the rostrum, while also receiving cheers from the onlookers.

"Go and let your daughter shout quietly, don't shout badly." Sitting in the center of the rostrum was Emperor Hong Jinha, dressed in a military uniform, with officials of the Imperial Government and generals of the Imperial Army on his left and right, and members of the Imperial Diet behind him. At this time, he was waving to the team passing in front of the rostrum, and at the same time whispered to the Imperial Prime Minister Yi Yi discussing the little girl in front of him who was holding a loudspeaker and shouting hoarsely, which meant that this teenage girl was Yi Yi's daughter.

"If she had been willing to listen to me, she would not have given up the military academy and had to go with the troops. Let her toss, the empire will be theirs sooner or later, and it is only right to take their own things. Yi Yi's dead face was full of helplessness, Rao was the prime minister of the empire, ruling most of Asia and Africa, but he was not at the mercy of his own children.

"This seems to be said by my father, right?" Hong Jinhe is very sensitive, especially when it comes to Hong Tao.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said a lot of things back then, and I didn't feel much when I heard them at the time, but over the years I have gradually felt that some of them are very reasonable. There are some things that you can't experience under a certain age, no matter how smart you are, because you don't think of them with your brain, but with your body. Let's take the issue of educating children as an example, I think His Majesty's approach is very right, you can't spoil your children too much, and you have to let them go out to experience the wind and rain when they should go. When His Majesty strongly advocated the system of universal military service, he encountered considerable resistance, and your grandfather was reluctant to do so, and I did not support it much. But now it seems that it was a very wise decision. If even my daughter and your sister have gone to war to fight for their country, what reason do other people's children have to avoid military service? The Empire was able to recruit these troops from overseas territories smoothly, thanks to the universal military service system. This was not only a war, but also a test of the imperial government's ability to manage the country. "Yi Yi has been the prime minister of the empire for nearly ten years, and he has lost the enthusiasm and passion of his youth, and thinks more about the future of the empire, and is more and more like the thinking of Hong Tao when he was the prime minister.

"Alas...... I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with his exploits in my life, and even the person who wanted to break free from his shackles back then has begun to read it, and I don't know if he will laugh so much that he can't even find his eyes after hearing these words from you. By the way, I said to ask you to find him back, but did you find it? "Hong Jinhe still doesn't know whether to be dissatisfied with his father or to worship him. After so many years of emperor's career, he is not the young man who only thinks about his own feelings, but when it comes to his father, he still has mixed feelings in his heart.

"Can't find ...... Someone in the Ministry of Supervision doesn't want us to find him. Yiyi shook his head with a wry smile.

"Is it Minister Ci?" Hong Jinhe also narrowed his eyes, but his eyes were much bigger than his father's, no matter how hard he squinted, he couldn't reach the feeling of bad water in Hong Tao's stomach back then.

"Who else...... I've seen through it over the years, and the two of them are the eyes left by His Majesty in the empire, and I estimate that his old man knows everything we do. If he doesn't want people to find him, we won't find him for the rest of our lives. But this is fine, this shows that his old man is quite satisfied with the government led by you and me, Your Majesty, if one day his old man suddenly comes back, then we will wait for bad luck. "Don't look at Hong Jinhe as Hong Tao's son, but Yi Yi Hong Tao understands more deeply.

"Then I can't hope that my father will not come back for the rest of his life! Over the years, my mother's health has become worse and worse, and sometimes she often cries secretly alone, and she misses my father too. Why do you think he is so ruthless, leaving our mother and son away and not showing up for seven or eight years? Hong Jinhe was not too afraid of his father's sudden return, he felt that he had been a good emperor over the years, and soon the Great Song Dynasty would be included in the imperial territory, and no one could say that this was not a great achievement. As a son, what he wants most at such times is to show off with his equally great father, so that he can see that his son is not stupid.

"If my dad can leave me a huge empire, I think there must be a reason why he doesn't come back. You always think of him as a father, but you forget that he was also the emperor of the empire, and he was a founding emperor. I think he still has a lot of ambitions to achieve, but for the sake of the stability of the empire, he can't continue to fulfill his ideals in the empire. You know his temper, he's a very, very headstrong guy, and he'd be very depressed if he stayed in the Empire. As for the question of the Queen Mother, I suggest you talk to Minister Ci, he will definitely find a way to find the old majesty, or he can help you with a sentence. Yi Yi can understand Hong Tao's distress, but in the family affairs within the royal family, although he, the prime minister of the empire, has a good personal relationship with the emperor, he can't interfere too much.

"I don't like Minister Tzu very much, he is far less loyal to me than my father. Every time I talk to him about things, I always have the feeling that he is fooling a child, and even the way he looks at me is such an indescribable feeling. When it comes to Ciqi, Hong Jinhe is very dissatisfied, but the emperor does not have much right to meddle in the appointment of government officials.

"But in the position of the Ministry of Supervision, there is no one more suitable than Minister Ci. Emperor Taishang was right back then, the Ci brothers were the most loyal people to the empire, and they contributed everything to the empire. Don't think he's loyal to you enough, but if you get into big trouble, I'm assuming, maybe they're the ones who end up risking their lives to protect you and the royal family. Okay, let's not talk about that, let's take a look at our army, you definitely haven't seen this army! ”

Yi Yi once served as the Minister of Supervision, and he knew better than anyone else the importance and particularity of this department, and looking at the entire imperial government, whether it was the ruling party or the opposition party, no one dared to say that he could replace Ciqi as Minister of Supervision. Even if there were such a fool, the council would not have given him this position, because Ciqi was a man who had undergone a special test of life and death, and he proved with his life that he respected the laws of the Empire.

"Oh my God...... Camel cavalry! Hong Jinhe refocused his gaze on the square, and by this time the Afrika Korps had passed, followed by a very peculiar army. Their entire bodies were wrapped in a white cloth cloak, and they wore turbans on their heads, revealing only a pair of eyes. And their mounts are even more peculiar, not horses but camels.
