Chapter 228: The National Flag Flies 2

Zhao Xu took his queen mother, wives and children, under the guidance of the official of the Ministry of Rites, slowly ascended to the tower of the Imperial City Vermilion Gate, and in the loud cheers of the people, Zhao Xu waved his hand very stylishly, and kept greeting them. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info looked at the people downstairs in the city, Zhao Xu heard it, and the cheers of the people were from the heart

After Zhao Xu and the Empress Dowager, the Empress, the Imperial Concubine and others stood on the city gate tower, Zheng Junyan, the chief celebrant of the National Day Ceremony and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took two steps forward, walked to the front of three special bronze loudspeakers, and said loudly: "I announce that the National Day Ceremony of the Great Song Empire, and the 143rd Celebration of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, are now open-"

The huge copper loudspeaker kept Zheng Junyan's voice forward, so that almost everyone in the square could hear it clearly. After a loud cheer from the people, Zheng Junyan continued to say loudly: "The first item of the ceremony, sound the arrow, and go out of the country. ”

And at the same time that Zheng Junyan began to speak, the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial City also slowly opened with his voice, and a team of soldiers wearing imperial ceremonial uniforms, straight as javelins, appeared in the city gate, only to see that they were wearing leather painted gold phoenix wing crowns, the white crown tassels were lengthened to the shoulders, and a large piece of snow-white crown tassels danced in the wind, which was very good-looking, and then looked, the upper body was wearing a short leather leather armor without armor on the shoulders, which was also depicted with gold thread with a coiled dragon sitting python, lined with a black brocade lining, Coupled with a pair of thin leather gloves that were longer than the wrists, if I had to describe them in a few words, they were handsome, they were wearing a pair of slim leather trousers on the lower half of their bodies, and a pair of leather riding boots with iron palms on their feet, coupled with the tall posture and heroic faces of the soldiers, these combinations were enough to make these imperial soldiers become the dream lovers of those young girls with spring, and their appearance caused almost all the women to scream. The whole national flag guard is divided into nine rows and ten columns, and each line of soldiers holds a long weapon, a spear, a halberd, a stick, a hammer, a fork, a boring, a hook, a lance, a ring, and an axe. The marching band, which followed the convoy, was also divided into nine rows and ten columns, all of which were hung with drums of different sizes

After Zheng Junyan finished speaking, he could only hear the continuous sound of arrows flying at the Imperial Heroes Monument, and the arrowless arrows that had been specially processed by the Ministry of Industry were continuously shot into the air with the movements of the imperial soldiers wearing imperial uniforms, and the sound of arrows resounded in the sky

At the same time, the commander standing between the flag guards and the escort team, with the first sound of the arrow, instantly pulled out a special command knife from his waist and sang loudly: "All of them, step, go." ”

With the sound of continuous arrows, one hundred and sixty-six pairs of riding boots nailed with iron palms kept trampling neatly, and the sound of metal collision with the ground continued to sound, and the scene of the entire ceremony, except for the sound of the phoenix chirping of the arrows and the crisp sound of the horse boots of the salute soldiers of the national flag guards, seemed to fall into silence, and all the people, just quietly watched these handsome imperial soldiers in front of them step by step out of the Suzaku Gate, boasted over the moat, and kept walking in the direction of the flag platform.

"Walk together, go."

With the change of command order, the original sonorous and powerful crashing sound suddenly disappeared, and the pace of the salute soldiers of the national flag guard team instantly turned into a kind of flowing action, slowly moving forward

When they arrived at the flag stand, the flag bearers and flag guards climbed the flag stand and hooked the national flag, while the salute soldiers of the national flag guard marched in a neat step, separated from the middle of the ten columns, and walked around the flag stand to the rear to stand still, while the military band also separated the procession, and the nine rows and ten columns changed into five rows and eighteen columns

When all this was done, Zheng Junyan stepped forward again, walked to the front of the loudspeaker, and shouted: "The second item of the ceremony, everyone stands, raises the national flag, and sings the national anthemβ€”"

The reason why the national anthem is sung is because the Ministry of Rites has ordered the Great Music Administration to teach the national anthem "Jing Zhong Serving the Country" to all the ministers of the DPRK and China for the National Day ceremony, but according to the report of the Great Music Administration, the learning situation of this song is not very ideal, because except for the military generals, almost all the ministers are not very interested in this national anthem, and Zhao Xu is nothing after listening to it. Aren't civil officials a good face, when it comes to the National Day ceremony, these civil officials look at the military generals they have always despised singing loudly one by one, and they themselves can only hum there quietly because they don't know the lyrics and tunes, they don't need Zhao Xu to force them to learn this song, they themselves will naturally learn it

Sure enough, when Zheng Junyan finished saying the words "sing the national anthem" loudly, Zhao Xu swept his eyes, and the faces of many officials became not so bright

With the beating of the marching band's drums, the music with a strong iron and blood intention suddenly sounded

"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, and the dragon rolls. The horse is neighing, the sword is like frost, the heart is like the Yellow River, the water is vast, who can resist in 20 years......"

All the soldiers and ministers present began to sing the song, and as for the civil officials who could not sing, some looked left and right, and then whispered a few words in embarrassment, and some seemed to be singing along with the high voice that could be sung, but in fact they did not speak at all, and some were just singing blindly, and as for what they were singing, I am afraid only they themselves know

All the people of the Great Song and Han Dynasty who were observing were also enthusiastic by the singing of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and they continued to cooperate with the rhythm of the drums. And the envoys of various countries in the stands, some are happy and some are worried. Rejoice that the Great Song Empire is strong, they can get a lot of help, and worry about the strength of the Great Song Empire, they will have to face a dragon-like enemy

Naturally, the rejoicing was the Uighur state of Gaochang and the Eastern Khanate, because when they received the letter of state from the Great Song Dynasty inviting them to see the National Day ceremony, they also received a clear reply from the Great Song Dynasty that they would sell weapons to them, so when the envoys of these two countries saw that their eldest brother had such a powerful power, the sense of security from the heart spontaneously arose, and even the excitement could not be concealed on their faces.

As for the sorrowful ones, it is Goryeo, Jiaozhi, and the Tibetan tribes, they are completely bordered by the Great Song Dynasty, and now the Great Song Dynasty has completely leveled its north, so this dragon is pretending to sleep, and his next target is most likely one of their three countries (to be continued). )
