Chapter 1282: Mourning

Gao Jianguo thought for a while and said: "Since Lao Wang made this suggestion, and everyone is here today, then let's study it." I agree with Lao Wang's opinion www.biquge.info although the Far East has ended the rule of the Ming regime in the Central Plains, we still have this bearing to mourn Chongzhen, the king of the dead country. ”

Li Ming also smiled and said: "As for Chongzhen, "the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies", which is also worthy of our respect, and I also agree with Lao Wang's opinion. ”

Everyone saw that Li Ming and Gao Jianguo both expressed their support, and the other Standing Committee members did not have any opposing opinions. Anyway, there is no harm in making such a gesture at the top of the Far East, at least it will leave a deep impression in the hearts of the people everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Wei, who had never expressed his opinion, thought for a while and said: "Let's simply have a collective mourning for the Standing Committee of the Far East Board of Directors and express the attitude of our Far East Company to the people of Daming, which should help us work at the grassroots level." ”

Gao Jianguo glanced at everyone, and saw that no one had raised their opinions for a long time, so he smiled and said, "Then it's decided, let's just go now." ”

When Li Ming heard this, he hurriedly nodded to Lin Hua, the chief of staff next to him, and the other party turned around and arranged for it. Glancing at Lin Hua's back, Li Ming turned around and smiled at everyone and said, "I've already arranged lunch, let's eat first." ”

"That's okay, I've been so tired these past few days that I haven't even eaten a hot meal."

After listening to Gao Jianguo's words, everyone laughed with deep sympathy. In the past few days, they have been following the Southern Corps, and they are so tired that everyone has made up for sleep on the airship just now, and now they are all hungry.

After lunch, Li Ming led Gao Jianguo and others all the way to the outside of the Forbidden City, at this time Lin Hua had already arranged several battalions of troops to participate in the battle, ready to accept several standing committee members of the company's board of directors to review the troops.

Gao Jianguo, Wang He and others saw the troops in front of them, and they all turned over and dismounted. Then he came to the front of the parade with a solemn face. Lin Hua, chief of staff of the Central Plains Campaign Command, personally reported to Gao Jianguo and others. With the sound of passionate music, Gao Jianguo, Wang He and others reviewed the participating troops of the Central Plains Campaign in Donghuamen Square.

After reviewing the participating troops, everyone walked to the location of the Chongzhen Mourning Hall in Donghua Gate. At this time, it was still deserted, except for Jiang Dejing, the first assistant of the Ming Cabinet, and more than 20 officials, the rest were a large number of eunuchs and palace maids in the Forbidden City.

Li Ming introduced the situation in the past few days, including the army entering the city, meeting with Ming officials, Chongzhen committing suicide and other things. and for Chongzhen, there were more than 20 officials in the city.

Gao Jianguo listened to Li Ming's introduction, frowned and said: "Those bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty who have read the books of sages and sages all their lives are not as good as a bunch of eunuchs, how can they still have the slightest style of scholars. Daming has come to this point, and they have to bear a lot of responsibility. But now that the Ming Dynasty has fallen, and as soon as the Far Eastern Army enters Beijing, they can't wait to pounce one by one. Which of these people is not the emperor's grace, at least they should come to kowtow to the former emperor. ”

Wang He shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Although Confucianism has always regarded "benefiting the people", "enriching the people" and "reassuring the people" as the goal of management, taking the society of "good governance", "benevolent government", "royal road" and "great harmony" as its political ideals, and trying to build a peaceful, coordinated, equal, and just society as the direction of its efforts.

Hehe...... But the wish is beautiful, but the truth is cruel. In order to use Confucianism as a tool of the ruling class, the feudal rulers of successive generations have distorted the essence of Confucianism beyond recognition. Although those scholars and doctors who read the books of the sages are full of sage statements, most of them are sanctimonious hypocrites. ”

In front of Chongzhen's mourning hall, Jiang Dejing, the first assistant of the former Ming cabinet, and others saw that the mourning hall of the first emperor was so deserted, so they did not leave, and kept kneeling in front of Chongzhen's coffin to guard the spirit of the first emperor.

Those fierce cavalrymen of the Far Eastern Army did not do anything to them, and they did not know where they had gone for a long time. This also made Jiang Dejing and the others breathe a long sigh of relief, and the heart that had been slipping away was finally let go.

To tell the truth, although they are all mourning the emperor with a mortal heart today, but when they faced more than 100 Far Eastern Iron Cavalry just now, their legs were scared and weak, if there was no Jiang Dejing, the first assistant of the cabinet standing in front, it is estimated that most of them would be dispersed immediately.

Just as they were secretly rejoicing, hundreds of cavalry of the Far Eastern Army roared from afar, instantly surrounding the Chongzhen Spiritual Hall. The officers and soldiers of the Far East, who had been guarding here, were also nervous.

Moreover, more and more fierce Far Eastern officers and soldiers came here and surrounded the Chongzhen Lingtang. Donghuamen Square is also three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post.

This time, even Jiang Dejing, the first assistant of the cabinet, was so frightened that his face was pale, and in an instant, his back was soaked with cold sweat. The other officials of the Ming Dynasty were even more unbearable, a few of them were timid, and their urine was scared out, and the rest of them were also paralyzed on the ground.

The eunuchs and palace maids of the Forbidden City, who had been kneeling in the Chongzhen Mourning Hall, were also frightened by this formation, and they buried their heads on the ground tremblingly, not even daring to raise their heads.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

At this time, several behemoths of nearly 100 zhang also slowly flew over, and they fell to a place more than 100 meters above the ground. It made the Ming officials, eunuchs, and palace maids next to Chongzhen Lingtang even more afraid, and their faces were full of horror and fear.

Moreover, the atmosphere of the entire Donghuamen Square was very tense, and countless officers and soldiers of the Far East stood in a neat formation in the Donghuamen Square, without a trace of noise, and the silent square was filled with a cold and solemn atmosphere, which made people breathless.

The officers and men of the Far East who came to Donghuamen Square were very excited. Can you not be excited, what an honor it must be to stand guard for several standing committee members of the company's board of directors. That is the chief marshal and deputy marshal of the Far Eastern Army, and several top leaders of the Far East, such as the first assistant and the second assistant of the company, and they may not encounter such a task a few times in their lives.

After receiving the order, all the troops rushed to Donghua Gate as quickly as possible. Then it quickly unfolded, and several tight warning circles were formed in Donghuamen Square, and even flies could not fly in.

"Standing ......"

"Boom ......"

With a loud command from the officer on duty, the officers and men of the Far Eastern Army units participating in the vigilance mission in the entire Donghuamen Square stood up almost at the same time, and the sound of nearly 1,000 people moving at the same time let out a huge roar. All the officers and soldiers stood in the square in a standard military posture, waiting for the arrival of the head of the company. (To be continued.) )
