Chapter 391: The Founding Ceremony
The beginning of heaven and earth is said to be flood, and the replacement of hundreds of tribes is said to be famine. Since then, our clan has been stationed in Kyushu to open up civilization for thousands of years.
Since the three emperors ruled the world, the five emperors Dinglun and Zhou Gong Dingli, our clan inherited the virtue of good life in the sky, received the broad chest of the thick soil, said benevolence and virtue to govern the world, humble and like a valley to seek talents, and kept the heart of goodness like water, and the way of virtue, which has been 5,000 years endlessly.
Think of my ancestors, open up the wilderness with flesh and blood, and defend the country with the benefits of soldiers. Zhang Qian began to leave the Western Regions, and was detained by the Xiongnu for ten years and still "held the Han Festival without losing". Su Wu was imprisoned for 20 years, conniving at the reduction to shepherding sheep for a living and still standing upright. The hair on the Han envoy's festival fell off and blew down on the hinterland of the Xiongnu. But even though their hair is pale, their hearts are as solid as a rock, and their unbending spirit is still sung today. The cold north has always been a battlefield for conquest, but the enemy said that with the Yue family's army, we could not win the battle. It is a pity that the heroes were jealous, the slanderers were high, and a wisp of loyal soul finally dissipated by the side of the West Lake. However, in the bloody sunset, I vaguely saw someone inserting it into the soil, which was a general's used tassel gun that would rather not bend. The weak scholar named Shi Kefa decided to live and die with the city, lost his life, and protected his faith. Brutal killing, like mountains of bones, cannot bury the spirit of the nation, and some people believe that one day, it will still shine on the land of China.
Our Chinese people have never given up following in the footsteps of our ancestors, and today, 200 years later, China is rising again. The roar of the artillery is a salute played for our people, and the rain of bullets is a salute sprinkled for our people.
Mountains and rivers still exist, and hundreds of generations do not fall. The society still exists and will not be extinguished for a hundred years. It's a big country, why not prosper! From today. Our people take the Yellow Emperor as the year. In the year 4602 of the Yellow Emperor, our dynasty was established in the Qing Dynasty, and the country was named Hua, called "China". Wide-sleeved ties, cloud sideburns and gorgeous clothes, and rejuvenate my Hanbang etiquette.
The years are glorious, and the country is not old. God bless China, prosperous times -
As the green smoke rose repeatedly, the news of the establishment of the Qing Dynasty in China was played in the sky. The rising sun shines its warmth onto the earth. The golden light pierced the sky. The solemn faces of the people standing outside the Temple of Heaven were serious, even the fierce cold wind could not suppress the fiery hearts, and their faces were full of excitement and bright red.
200 years, 200 years! Two hundred years of humiliation, two hundred years of patience have finally come to fruition. Today, we can finally play the heavens, and our Han Dynasty will finally recover after 200 years of losing the country. Everyone is quietly waiting for the emperor to play the heavens, and then announce it to the world, so that my China can walk in the world with a clear and righteous word.
After a while, he wore a crown of twelve heavens. The emperor, dressed in a bright yellow five-clawed golden dragon robe, walked out of the prayer hall. The emperor stood with his fists clenched and bowed down: "The change of dynasty has been clear." From now on, I hope that the people of the world, all the ministers and the ministers and the ministers will work together with me to create a new Chinaββ"
"Oh-" The civil and military officials and the guards of the palace all bowed down.
"Bang-" The flash flashed. The moment when the king and the courtiers worship each other is recorded forever, and the moment when the monarch and the courtiers are of one heart and one mind are recorded.
In Irkutsk, Kuropatkin is holding a telescope and looking at the hectic Chinese army outside the city. I just finished breakfast. Kuropatkin was told by his attendants that there were frequent movements of Chinese troops outside the city. As a result, he held a telescope in the city and looked at it for almost an hour, but he did not see the possibility of an attack by the Chinese army. Maybe today is the New Year of the Chinese. They're doing some festivities. Kuropatkin, shivering in the cold wind, scolded the officer on duty, and then went back to the room with his neck bent to keep warm. As a result, before he could warm up, the officer on duty immediately informed him that the Chinese army was about to attack. Kuropatkin was furious, and after he went up to the city again in a rage, he was stunned by the Chinese's actions before he could beat the officer on duty. The entire barracks of the Chinese troops on the opposite side had completely quieted down, and all the muzzles of the guns were exposed.
"Are the Chinese going to celebrate the New Year for themselves with victory?" Kuropatkin, having ordered the officers on duty to prepare for all the defenses, ran to the anti-artillery holes and hid.
"Prepare-" The commander of the 1st Artillery Division stared at the watch on his left hand and began to count the seconds: "3, 2, 1-" The raised right hand fell down sharply: "Put-"
"Put-" The commander of the 3rd Artillery Regiment outside Chita City gave the order for the shelling.
To the north outside the city of Novosibirsk and to the south to the front line of Lake Gelbash, all Chinese artillery commanders gave the order to shell Russia at the same moment. Whistling shells flew into the Russian garrison amid the rumbling shelling, and the front-line army applauded the establishment of China with explosions in enemy camps.
At the same time, the ships of the Navy sounded their whistles at the same time, but their enemies were still far away in Africa, so they only fired salutes. Trains, cars, ships...... As long as all the voices could be heard, all the people in the streets and alleys gathered together to listen to the gentlemen reading out loud the announcement of the imperial court.
"My dynasty was established in the Qing Dynasty, and the country was named Hua, and the name was 'China'." At ten o'clock, Li Ming solemnly announced to the world from the tower of Tiananmen Square. Then, a low horn sounded under the city tower, and the paraded troops passed through the Jianguo Gate in a neat formation. All of them were the first troops to break through the borders, and they advanced to the enemy's borders for the whole army. Now that he has been fighting for half a year, he was transferred back to participate in the parade when he changed guards.
Nine, is the number of poles of the yang number, homonym "long". Therefore, the emperor called himself "the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan", the state set up "Jiuding", the emperor should set up "Jiuqing", the imperial court should set up three provinces and six departments, etc., and major ceremonial celebrations such as sacrifices should also be based on nine. Therefore, the military formation that walked in the first place of the army under review was 81 people lined up in a 99 array, and under the command of the three officers, they marched along the ten-mile Chang'an Avenue in a neat pace towards the Kai'anmen Tower. This is the first team in China, but it is not a full-time team. They consisted of officers who had returned from a change of guard, and the youngest was also a major. This time, they will be the first to be read in the first military parade of the founding of China under the witness of hundreds of people on both sides of Chang'an Avenue.
In Tiananmen Square, musical instruments such as qin, zheng, flute, flute, silk and bamboo, and drums were played in unison, forming a grand music. Three thousand palace ladies danced to the music, long sleeves flowing, ribbons flying. This is the culmination of the song and dance of the Tang Dynasty - "The Song of Ni Clothes and Feathers".
This moment. The dance music representing the softness and the army representing the steel complement each other.
As the footsteps of the team got closer and closer, a Gong E in the huge dance formation stepped on the dance steps. Waving a three-zhang long ribbon, he slowly walked out of the dance array. That's when everyone noticed that she was dressed differently from the others. It's a mountain ghost costume.
The mountain ghost who had jumped to the center of the arena stopped and stood upright, facing east. There, an army is coming.
"Stand-" The team stopped at the place where they had just entered the square. The mountain ghost shook his long sleeves and walked towards the team, singing as he walked: "I will get out of my car, and I will be in the pasture." Since the Son of Heaven, it is said that I have come. Summoning his servant is called a load. The king's affairs are difficult, and the maintenance is thorny. β
The team leader opened his mouth and responded: "I'll get out of my car, in the suburbs." That's it. Build the other. Pi Mingsi, Hu Bu Ming. The worries are quiet, and the servant is in a bad condition. β
The other two deputy leaders then sang: "The king ordered Nanzhong to go to the city." Get out of the car Peng Peng, and get out of the Yangyang. The Son of Heaven ordered me to be the other side of the city. He Nanzhong, Xuan Yu Xiang. β
Then the entire honor guard responded in unison: "In the past, I went back, and I was Fanghua." Now I think about it, rain and snow. How difficult it is for the king. Not to mention the residence. Won't you be nostalgic? I'm afraid of this short book. β
The mountain ghost looked around in the sergeant pile with a look of looking for people but couldn't find them, and finally knelt on the ground sadly and sang mournfully: "Grass insects, worms." I didn't see a gentleman, and I was worried. See the gentleman. My heart is down. Hehe Nanzhong, Bovar Xijon. β
All the soldiers beat their chests and shouted loudly: "Spring is late, and the trees are blooming. Cang Geng. Pick Su Qi Qi. The execution was ugly, and Bo Yan returned. Hehe Nanzhong. It's a shame. β
Just as the honor guard under the city was singing "Out of the Car" and asking and answering, the ministers of various countries on the city tower inquired about what was said below.
"What they're saying is: the country is troubled and difficult. The war is urgent. The Son of Heaven summoned them to fight in distant places, and they willingly went to battle, no matter how difficult it was, they were fearless. Li Ming stood on the city tower and explained to them: "They left a good time when they were still in the willows, but now they are returning in the rain and snow, and their families and mountain ghosts can't find the familiar faces of the past, they don't regret it, and now they have won a big victory, which is a good time to celebrate." The more Li Ming spoke, the more excited he became, and the audience just finished the Q&A. Li Ming took a step forward and shouted, "Summons, unload-a-"
The dancing in the square stopped, as did the ceremonial music that represented peace. "Knock, knock, knockβ" The heavy drum sounded, and it became more and more urgent, and the 756 palace ladies in the dance formation ran towards the queue waving ribbons, and they saluted the sergeants in a row of nine, and then gently untied the armor of the sergeants, folded them and held them in their hands.
The soldiers stood there quietly when their armor was removed, and the palace ladies were allowed to unload their armor, which was the honor that the expedition soldiers deserved, and now they took it. The armor was removed, and the dance of the mountain ghosts also stopped, and after bowing deeply to the soldiers, the mountain ghosts retreated along with the palace eaves. And in front of them, a red carpet stretched from afar, stopping right at their feet. At this time, the emperor had already descended from the city tower, sat on the white horse, and reviewed the army.
"The emperor is mighty, and China is mighty. Salute-" The leader shouted, and walked onto the carpet.
Infantry, cavalry, artillery, navy, air force, armed police, and the parade army passed in front of Tiananmen Square. Perhaps because the training time was still short, their steps were not very neat, and the formation was a little crooked, and Li Ming could even hear the earnest chuckles of the foreign envoys and representatives watching the ceremony on the city tower.
Although Li Ming had never been to the scene to watch the parade in his previous life, he had seen it on TV. The neat and uniform movements, the pace of 10,000 people, and the formation of a balanced vertical and oblique line are indeed beautiful and mighty. But it's just beautiful, it's just that it looks mighty. And the problem, it's in their faces.
Li Ming preferred to look at this group of crooked military formations. What if the pace is not neat and the formation is not strict? They are armies, not armies. Each of their faces showed a desire for war, their faces were distorted and hideous, their eyes were fierce, they were murderous, this is the army, this is the army! Soldiers are meant to kill, and armies are created to kill! What kind of soldier is a soldier who is not murderous, that's just a thug! What kind of army is an army that doesn't kill **, it's just a reliance team! From the very first day of its establishment, the army must always be ready to kill and slaughter. Li Ming was fortunate to have personally created this army. and led them to fight for their country.
Looking at the armies passing by, looking at the flags waving one after another. The wanton catharsis of the military formation made this winter seem even colder. At this moment, Li Ming's heart was as hot as fire, but it made the envoys and representatives of various countries watching the ceremony on the city tower close their beaks.
Don't they don't believe in the so-called "qi" in Eastern theory? Doesn't he believe in such an ethereal thing as "qi"? Now I feel this rumbling murderous aura on the city tower. Let them shudder from the bottom of their hearts.
A cold wind blew, and the British Minister Dou Nale shuddered, and said in a low voice to the American Minister Tian Bei beside him: "This is a group of devils. If they are no longer restricted, one day they will trample the whole world under their feet. β
Tian Bei said indifferently: "No, the Chinese are peace-loving." It's just that we should face up to this country. β
Tian Bei's indifferent attitude is justified. The United States is far away from the Eurasian continent and has two oceans as a barrier. The United States is the richest country in the world, and it also has the strongest industrial capacity and the most abundant natural resources in the world. Even if the United States suffers setbacks abroad, at most it will retreat to the Americas. There is no enemy in the whole of America that can match the United States, and Americans can live the same life.
The British, on the other hand, have a global interest in the small islands of Britain that cannot meet their own survival needs. Now Europe is crowded, the United States and Africa have been carved up, but Britain still has huge interests in Asia. India is the most important one, while China is the fastest growing one. Once China does rise, the selfish character of the Chinese emperor will never let the British take advantage of China. China, which was not yet strong, frequently fought foreign wars when it was weak, but once China became strong. This is not only the world's most populous country, but also the world's largest race! There are countless Chinese people all over the world...... Dou Nale looked at the troops passing under the city tower one by one, worried.
The military parade for the founding of China reviewed not only the local army, but also the army of the vassal state. Lanfang (of course, it is still called the Nanyang Chinese Autonomous Army), Luzon, Ryukyu, and Korea. Even the Republic of Anui, which has only one infantry regiment in the country, sent a company of troops to participate in the parade. What is even more surprising is that the Gurkhas, next to the high mountains in southwest China, also sent a company to participate in the reading. The Gurkha people were brave and fierce by nature, in 1813 and 1816. The British army fought two skirmishes with the Gurkhas, although the British eventually won. But the fighting power of the Gurkha made a great impression on the British. In 1815, the British Royal Army had its first fighting battalion of Gurkhas. Year 1851. The British, in order to strengthen their rule over India, began to form the first Gurkha battalion. The Gurkha mercenaries in the British army served the British loyally, but since the Chinese government strengthened Sino-Gurkha relations, the British encroachment on Tibet has become more difficult, and with China's repeated victories, the Royal Chinese Military Academy and the University Hall renamed the Chinese Royal Academy began to accept students from various vassal states, and more and more Gurkha responded to the call of the Gurkha government to leave the British army. When the Chinese government began to form the first regular army for the Gurkhas, the loyalty of the Gurkha soldiers in the British army began to plummet, much to the annoyance of the British and Indian commanders.
The vassal army came by order, and it was a way for the vassal state to show loyalty to the suzerain. In addition, the Chinese government has also extended invitations to Britain, the United States, France, and Germany, inviting their militaries to participate in the military parade. But they feel that their country's army is being inspected by a foreign head of state in a foreign country, as if their country is submitting to China, and they have reached the point where they need the Chinese emperor to review it like those vassal states? Therefore, all countries politely declined. The Chinese government is sorry because they are planning to do this kind of euphemistic propaganda.
Siam is now the only sovereign and independent country in the whole of Asia except China, and they have long since severed their suzerain-vassal relationship with China, but this time the Siamese army sent troops at the invitation of the Siamese army. When the Siamese army appeared at the parade, the European and American envoys were not too surprised, after all, Siam was also a vassal state of China, and as China grew stronger and more powerful in the South Seas, it was normal for Siam to make some obedience. But the last foreign troops to leave the field surprised the envoys, and the Kingdom of Hawaii, far away on the other side of the Pacific, sent both land and sea troops to participate in the parade. What is this trying to do in Hawaii? Is this what Hawaii means to be a vassal of China?
Hawaii is just a small country in the Pacific Ocean, sparsely populated, has no natural resources, and is really far from China. So for Britain, France and Germany, there was really nothing else there except sugar, except for one appearance in the Battle of Lushun in the Qing Dynasty, and the usual low-key could not be more low-key, so that they all forgot that there was such a country in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. But for the United States, this is a bad sign.
The United States has no room for existing capital, but it has suffered setbacks on the road to expansion. The attempt to subvert Hawaii failed, but he tried to rob Luzon but was too late, and fought against Cuba for two years, during which time New York was abolished by the Spaniards. Finally obtained the right to dig the Manama Canal from Colombia, intending to connect the east and west banks of the United States, but China delayed the matter under the pretext of digging the Nicaragua Canal. After numerous difficult negotiations, the right to dig the Nicaragua Canal was bought from China at a fivefold cost, and all means were used to encourage Panama to become independent, so that the Panama Canal could be successfully started. But the matter is not over, the Panama Canal is normal construction, not to mention that there is not enough manpower, and Cuba over there has begun to make trouble again. The endless attacks and the abundance of guerrillas have exhausted the American army to deal with. All American farms and factories were destroyed, and more and more people left American industry, so much so that large swaths of farms were abandoned and factories closed, but it was the Chinese industry that became more and more popular, because there was never a guerrilla attack. The process of exporting American capital has become extremely difficult. In a series of incidents, the top level of the United States found that there are Chinese all the time, and they are full of vigilance against China. Fortunately, the two countries are far away from each other and there will be no direct conflict. They see cooperation as more beneficial than hostile, and the Chinese government shows more goodwill. If Hawaii were an independent country, it could at least serve as a buffer zone between China and the United States, but today the Hawaiian army was invited to China to be inspected by the Chinese emperor, which is a bit unusual. If this is a signal from Hawaii to China's vassals, it means that the Chinese navy can advance its forward positions to Hawaii, thus posing a direct threat to the U.S. mainland, and at the same time, the U.S.-controlled Midway Island will also be encircled by China. Looking at the murderous army in front of him, Tian Bei couldn't help but fight a cold war.
Li Ming likes to be murderous, the more murderous an army that can defend the country and expand the territory, the more his own people like it, and as for making foreigners afraid, it is also an important point for the people to like it. If an army can only make its own people afraid but foreigners are not afraid, this is called the family thug triad. Both sides of Chang'an Avenue were full of people, men and women were all tightly together, and children were also put around their necks to watch. They also shouted the same slogan along with the army: "The emperor is mighty, China is mighty." β
When the last army passed through the Tiananmen Tower, Li Ming rode back to the city with satisfaction as he listened to the shouts that still kept coming and going. The prosperous dynasty cultivated both civil and military, and after showing material resources, it was time to show the prosperity of cultural governance. (To be continued......)
