Chapter 27 Military Parade

At the beginning of the third watch, Defu came in to report that the envoys and representatives of my vassal states of the Qing Dynasty, as well as the princes of the allied countries in Beijing, were already waiting outside the front door for the order, waiting to be received!

Guangxu opened his pocket watch and looked at it, less than a quarter past four, Guangxu closed his eyes for less than half an hour, and he was so tired recently!

Guangxu said: "Announce it! ”

Guangxu did not sit this time, but stood in front of the table, these envoys from Nanzhang (today's Laos), Miluo (today's Thailand), Burma, Korea, Nepal, the vast khanate, Jemengxiong (today's Sikkim), Bhutan, the Khaza Khanate, the Burut Khanate, the Bukhara Khanate, Aiwuhan (today's Afghanistan), the Badak Mountains and other countries, and the Mongolian princes and representatives of the Tusi Yamen of the southwestern countries all came, almost sixty or seventy people, standing on the main hall of the Wenyuan Palace, after the salute, They all stood solemnly on both sides and waited for Guangxu to speak!

Guangxu said; "Listed as a minister! Today is the beginning of my Chinese lineage, after today, I will lead you on a bright road, we will be admired by the world, we will determine the historical pattern of the next five hundred years, everyone here today, in the near future! You will all be proud to be able to participate in today's military parade. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In order to commend you for following China all the time, sharing honor and disgrace, life and death. In the future, we will lay a new world, move forward hand in hand, and share the glory of saving trouble!

Blessed, come! Receive a golden ribbon for all adults!

At this time, Defu took a group of little eunuchs, these envoys and princes put on yellow ribbons, Guangxu himself also put on yellow ribbons, and there is too late to make medals, and there is no creativity, but fortunately, the foundation of the court is thick enough, there are a lot of armor tapestry in the treasury, which is a shoulder pad draped on the shoulders, and some are made into lions, dragon heads and other images, with him, it is invisibly adding a breath of blood to men! Before you know it, you have to straighten your waist!

Therefore, Guangxu gave all the Mongolian princes and toasts this majestic and golden shoulder pad, and hung a green jade plaque on the left chest of the envoys of various countries!

After a while, a group of majestic relatives and nobles were dressed neatly, okay, let's take a group photo first! Line up and don't get blocked!

Jin Shizi, you leaned in the middle, said twice that this son of the world did not squeeze into the image, then Guangxu saw him, at this time a middle-aged man about thirty years old, he was the prince of the Ryukyus, when the Ryukyus were occupied by Japan, the then Ryukyu prince came to China for help, the Qing government at that time was too busy to take care of itself, and did not have the strength to manage this poor vassal state, but the Qing Dynasty was still reasonable, although your country is gone, but still respect you as a prince, you will live in Beijing, the Qing Dynasty still treats you as a prince, This prince is the son of that prince back then.

Guangxu saw this person, he really couldn't bear it, he said that this person Guangxu would still be of great use in the future, Ryukyu was the later Okinawa archipelago, with this prince in hand, Ryukyu was the Qing Dynasty sooner or later, Guangxu didn't want to suffer from the idleness of breaking through the first island chain.

So Guangxu beckoned to Jin Shizi and said, "Jin Mengcheng Shizi, you come to my side!" “

Jin Mengcheng saw that it was the emperor who called him, and hurriedly ran to Guangxude's side, Guangxu sat in the middle, and the other relatives and ministers stood on both sides, and the photographer adjusted the following order again, and this very historical photo was taken, and many experts and scholars in later generations believe that the Qing Dynasty Zhongxing started from this photo!

With the flashing of the spotlight, the multi-ethnic unified country of the Qing Dynasty has been officially laid!

After the photo was completed, Guangxu came to Chongde Gate, at this time the sky was already bright, in the gate and the Chongwen Gate next to the entrance and exit of these relatives of the Aixin Jueluo family, according to the plan these relatives and nobles entered the palace to Cixi where to gather, after greeting Cixi, according to the plan, the division of personnel to participate in the military parade, like Prince Gong, the old hero who created the Yamen of China's foreign affairs Prime Minister must be coming out to appear! So he must be in the first camp.

The people of the Prime Minister's Yamen were also already at work, and Li Hongzhang arranged the order of the envoys of various countries outside the gate, and Wu Zhongxian followed the on-site command.

Guangxu is inside the door, and the Qing Gege next to him, Princess Rongshou Gulun, the eldest daughter of Prince Gong, is also in place, as well as a large group of eunuchs and palace maids led by Liang Dunyan, who is standing opposite Guangxu.

At this time, the doorman shouted with all his might, the envoy of the United Kingdom of Britain has arrived!

Then the Prime Minister's Yamen led Richard Gold to appear in front of Guangxu, but it was the other end of the red carpet, this time the old man came with a very bewitching woman, these two people walked slowly towards Guangxu, walked to the front, the old man bowed to Guangxu three times, and then Guangxu stretched out his hand to shake hands with the old man, Qing Gege also stretched out his hand and shook hands with the enchanting Baroness Minsdock, the four of them looked at the front neatly, the magnesium lights flashed, and they took a photo together!

(The photos are washed and will be sent to you!) )

Then Liang Dunyan spoke proficient English to lead the two away, and then the eunuch and the palace maid took them to see the Empress Dowager Cixi to salute, and then took them away, and there was another princess in the reception of the female guests, Princess Rongshou Guolun (that is, where is the only daughter of Emperor Xianfeng to entertain, this princess and Qing Gege are friends, they are also no strangers to foreigners, and they can play together, and it turns out that she and Qing Gege entertained these female guests very happily, as for how to entertain Emperor Guangxu, I don't know.

The male guests will be taken to the palace presided over by Prince Gong Yixin and Prince Li, these two are the former and current heads of the Prime Minister's Yamen, and they are naturally very familiar with the envoys of various countries, so they get along very harmoniously!

Soon after the envoys of the thirteen countries in the capital were finished, Guangxu came to the palace where Cixi was, and at this time Cixi also finished meeting the envoys of various countries, and Guangxu asked Cixi for peace! Then he asked Cixi to move to the tower, and by this time all the messengers and princes and ministers, as well as the ministers of the various ministries, had already come to the top of the tower.

And Guangxu came to the city and rode a horse, waiting majestically under the city tower, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers!

At this time, Rong Shangqian rode towards Guangxu and shouted loudly; "Your Majesty! The commander of the First Army of the Pro-Guard Army, the commander-in-chief of the parade unit, reports to you that the parade troops have been prepared, please review it! ”

Guangxu shouted; "Let's go!"

Then Guangxu rode a horse, in front, Rong Shangqian in the back, did not walk a square, a cannon rang out, and then Guangxu shouted; "Our army is mighty!"

The phalanx soldiers replied, "Our army will win!" ”

Guangxu said again: "Our army will win!" ”

The phalanx soldiers replied, "Our army is mighty!" ”

With a force of 20,000 people, a total of eighteen phalanxes were formed, and after walking through all the phalanxes, Guangxu walked through all the guidelines, quickly beat the horse back, and then went up to the city tower to prepare to start the parade, and the soldiers below also began to regroup, lined up and prepared to walk under the city!

Guangxu soon appeared beside Cixi on the city tower, looking at Guangxu who was sweating, Cixi asked him to lower his head and wipe it, this move made everyone look at it, and everyone understood that Cixi loved this son very much, and the rumors about the mother and son not being very harmonious were all false!

At this time, the first phalanx had already come over, and when the city tower was lowered, he turned his head in the direction of the city tower and shouted, "Our army is mighty, our army will win!" slogan!

With the drums and drums of war one after another, with the neat pace of the soldiers, with one slogan after another, every phalanx that walked through gave people a shock, look at the unified uniform, the armor is bright, each square is a unified color, yellow, red, white, blue, people feel that this is a mighty division! This is a victorious division!

In particular, this army is equipped with firearms, which is a completely different army from the Chinese army that I saw before with big swords and spears, and I heard it very clearly just now, the name of this army is the Pro-Guard Army, and I don't seem to have heard of such an army before!

This is a big deal, and the ambassadors of various countries are thinking about the most basic duty of a diplomat at this time! Be sure to inquire clearly!

The last to walk was the cavalry, they were also uniforms, also equipped with firearms, knives, etc., neat military appearance, coupled with the slogans shouted in unison, all left a deep impression on the viewers at the scene!

The happiest were the Mongols, who pointed to these horses and said that these horses were all tribute from our Mongols!

When the last cavalry phalanx passed, today's parade came to an end!

At this time, Li Hongzhang appeared, and first of all, thank you for coming, the first military parade of the empire, please go to Wenjin Pavilion to rest, and then the welcome banquet prepared for everyone, please participate!

After that, Cixi went back to rest first, and since someone took these foreign guests to the Wenjin Hall to prepare for the banquet, these ambassadors had a lot of ideas after watching this military parade, especially Japan, Russia, Britain, and France, who felt a lot of pressure. They all have great interests in Huaxia, tell everything that happens here quickly, and then make decisions, because they know that China is no longer the China it used to be, and they can no longer treat him like before!

Guangxu and Cixi went back to prepare for rest, and then the role of Li Hongzhang as the host was revealed, and he fully demonstrated the charm of an old diplomat and an old politician. With his new and old partners, Prince Gong and Prince Alcohol, he danced up and down, taking care of every envoy, and there was no feeling that one party was left out!

But there is one exception, and that is Japan!
