Unexpectedly, and almost unexpectedly, the victory seemed to come a little suddenly, and even this sudden news did not come from Dalian, but from Shanghai. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Northeast Navy Lemaire victory!"

The sudden news, the sudden victory, like a Mid-Autumn Festival thunder, spread from Europe all the way to China through the radio waves, to the capital, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuchang and other cities, after a moment of surprise, this ancient oriental power boiled overnight.

No one believes it's true!

But the news was true, and the reason why it became known to foreigners in the first place was very simple - a Russian destroyer fleeing the battlefield encountered an American merchant ship on the way, and they immediately informed the Americans of the outcome of the naval battle that took place in the Le Maire Strait.

The American merchant ship was equipped with a telegraph, and it immediately sent a telegram, and the news spread from South America to the United States and from the United States to Europe in just over a dozen minutes, and the whole of Europe was shocked.

Once, when the Second Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire sailed all the way from the Baltic Sea all the way out of Europe, the whole of Europe was shocked by this huge fleet, even the Royal Navy, which had never assembled such a huge fleet, they thought that this fleet could easily win the battlefield.

But the end result stunned everyone - the Second Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire was defeated!

The defeat was so miserable that it can be said that the imposing fleet sank into the sea in just a few hours -- of course, the vast majority of their warships raised the white flag rather than sinking themselves.

But one thing is for sure, the Russians were defeated! This was a fiasco, but also a brilliant victory, and the largest war between ironclad ships and ironclads in the history of mankind would end in such a dramatic way.

At this moment, the whole of China is boiling, and almost everyone, even if he has never cared about politics or current affairs, will shed tears of excitement, which is an unprecedented victory.

In Shanghai, in order to cheer this victory, tens of thousands of Shanghainese jumped and jumped and cheered there. People gathered in the streets as a dragon, shouting over and over again for this victory, and the people had been silent for so long that people could not believe that it was their voice.

Although, as Shanghainese, they did not shed their blood in this war, although as Hubeiese, they did not join this war, and although, to a large extent, it was only a local war, and had nothing to do with anyone outside the three eastern provinces, they were now willing to cheer for the victory in the Northeast, which, in the eyes of each and every one of them, belonged to the Northeast as well as to China.

Right!

It's a victory for China!

As for what the Manchus, let them die aside!

It was in this kind of cheering, in the frenzy of the unprecedented victory, that the "Sun and Moon Flag" fluttered for the first time on the streets of many cities, and in Shanghai County, that is, on this frenzied night, a group of young students from Nanyang College rushed to the city wall and threw down the yellow dragon flag, and in the cheers of the people, a red background of the Sun and Moon Flag was raised.

This victory, more precisely this war, has stimulated the awakening of national consciousness throughout the country, and almost every day, every Chinese newspaper will report on the front line one after another, people see how those heroic soldiers tear apart the enemy in the ice and snow, people see how those soldiers fight for the future of the nation with their lives, people see blood, see sacrifice, and also see glory! Saw the honor!

It was also at this time that a term that did not sound so new spread in Kannai, especially among the young people—the people!

National!

Once upon a time, it was just a noun for the people of Kannai, but now through this war, people understand the term, and the idea that the state is the private property of the monarch has changed, and the state has become the state of the people. It is the country of all Chinese!

In short, after the outbreak of this war, when the Northeast was united and fought for the future of the country and the nation, a strong wind of war also blew in Kannai, and the breath of war enveloped the country. Let this weak and ignorant country take the initiative to change.

In the face of Russia, the largest country in the world, which can be called the strongest in the world, the three eastern provinces, which are regarded as weak, have taken the initiative to challenge with their own strength. In the eyes of the Chinese people, this adventure is no chance of winning anyway, and they even saw the fall of the three eastern provinces and the scene of Tang Dashuai retreating into the pass.

But to their surprise, the three eastern provinces rushed over desperately and fought desperately, and actually won many battles, not only won, but also won beautifully, and all of a sudden, everyone, that is, those people in the Guannai who had once accused the three eastern provinces, would become a little carried away because of this successive victories.

For the first time, the people of Japan also experienced an unprecedented national exuberance.

How could this not be.

China has never had the experience of being a "national" before, and there is no concept of a country in life. They are just residents of a village or a prefecture or a province at most, and they will go to the same clan and pull the villagers, but they will never mention the country, for them, for the Han people, they may have braids and horse coats, but in their subconscious, the Qing country has never been their country.

In the past 10 years, the authorities of the three eastern provinces have taken great pains to inculcate the people of Northeast China with the concept of the state and the people, and they have even tried to train Chinese nationals through training.

And now, the Chinese people in the Northeast have won!

This is a national victory!

Similarly, for the people of Kannai, they were shocked to discover the fact that Tohoku and Kannai seemed to be two very different countries. In the Northeast, there are 36 million people who are united and forging ahead together, but in Kannai are 40,000 minions who do not know what unity is, what the country is, and what the nation is!

Minions of the Manchus!

No, as Han Chinese, they don't even have the qualifications to be slaves!

At this moment, in the midst of the victory in the Northeast, when the national consciousness was awakened because of the victory in this sea battle, I don't know who was the first to shout a word.

"I am Chinese, I am not a slave of the Manchu Qing!"

A thunderous word, a deafening shout, in this autumn, on the land of China, because of victory, swept a storm, this is a national storm.

Jiangning!

In the midst of this frenzy, hundreds of students of Liangjiang University Hall and thousands of students from Nanjing Higher High School and Junior High School walked in the forefront of the people, and they kept shouting slogans, and in the center of the procession, several sun and moon flags with red backgrounds were particularly eye-catching.

"I'm Chinese!"

When the students shouted these five words, everyone was shocked, and the students' eyes were full of tears, which were tears of excitement that had not been seen for a long time.

For the first time in many years, this is the first time that they can honestly call themselves Chinese!

Yes!

For the first time, they were able to say this sentence in a dignified manner, because before that, they were Qing people, and they were Qing people with braids.

On the side of the road, people looked at these young people, at the Sun and Moon Banner, an elderly man in a long robe, he looked at the flag, and his lips repeated a sentence.

"May the sun and the moon shine on my land, and don't forget the blood of the martyrs all over the ground......"

He muttered this sentence, and then he thought of Baichuan Bridge, and thought of the beggar in the Beitian courtyard in the history books.

"For three hundred years, how can you flee from the Warrior Dynasty? Tsunade often stays in Beitianyuan, and the beggar is ashamed to save his life......"

As he read this poem, tears flowed from the old man's eyes, and at this time, the smooth forehead and the braid behind the head looked so dazzling in his eyes, and at last, he began to cry out loud.

"With such a money rat tail, my generation is completely willing! The Han family is unclothed, and there is no face to see the ancestors! ”

As he spoke, the excited old man rushed into the shop on the side, grabbed the scissors, and cut off his braids, and the old man's actions immediately caused a resonance around him.

"Cut your braids!"

Suddenly, I don't know who shouted first, and the braids, which symbolized slavery and shame, were cut off!

At this time, there is no need to force it, all that is needed is a cognition, a recognition of one's own identity, and some people are even ashamed of the horse coat on their bodies, which was brought by the Manchus, which they imposed with butcher knives!

At this moment, the braid is cut off!

It is not only the braids hanging down the back of people's heads that have been cut off, but the braids in the hearts of more people have also been cut off, people do not know what happened in China on this day, but everyone can feel that this country has undergone earth-shaking changes on this day, when this unprecedented victory came.

The procession with the sun and moon flag finally came to the Liangjiang Governor's Palace, since the "Nine Governors Discuss the Government", for Liangjiang, this Governor's Mansion is the highest seat of Liangjiang, here is the place where the civil officials get off the sedan chair and the military attaches get off the horse, but now, tens of thousands of people come here, but they are staring at the guards outside the gate.

These soldiers of the Jiangsu Army, wearing new military uniforms, also looked at these people with surprised and somewhat frightened eyes, they, what do they want to do?

"Change the flag!"

The student with the big flag shouted, he went straight to the side of the gate, he didn't even look at the guards, and he turned a blind eye to the bayonets of the guards' guns, and he took down the yellow dragon flag planted in front of the mansion, and the flag was thrown to the ground and trampled by the people, and then the sun and moon flag was planted in front of the governor's palace!

When the flag was planted, the soldiers all looked at each other in a daze, and they couldn't even understand whether this flag was really that important.

Yes, this flag is very important, it represents a country, and it is also a nation!

"We want to see the Governor!"

Just when the guards thought it was all about to end, another shout erupted from the young man's throat, and no one knew who had started first, but in fact, it was an action that came from the heart.

"We want to see Lord Liu!"

"Please come and see us...... Lord Liu"

A burst of shouts from outside the gate, all the way to the backyard of the governor's palace, has been transmitted to the ears of Liu Shenyi, the governor of Liangjiang, a veteran of the Hunan army, at this time, he has been sick for more than a month, is lying on the bed, his face is gray, full of sickness, as early as a few days ago, the famous doctor invited from all over the country has quietly made an order to the eldest prince Liu Nengji to "arrange the aftermath", and his has been holding on, originally, he has been close to running out of oil, but because of the victory of the "Battle of Lemaire", so that the pale face showed a trace of blood.

In the past half an hour, Liu Kunyi has always kept saying that he has not a deep friendship with Tang Haoran, and he has commanded and told his son over and over again, and at the same time he is sighing at the changes in the current situation, ten years ago, who knew Tang Haoran in the world, and today, how many people in the world don't know Tang Dashuai?

At this moment, the noise outside reached Liu Kunyi's ears.

"Ahem...... Who is it, who is going to see me! ”

Although Liu Nengji didn't want his father to worry, he finally told the truth.

"It's the students of Liangjiang University, the students of Sanjiang Normal School, and the students of various schools in Jiangning, they, they are celebrating Le Maire's great victory......"

Halfway through the words, looking at his father with a sick face, Liu Nengji said again.

"Father, these people are so rude, my son sent someone to blow them all away......"

"Boom ......"

Liu Kunyi first said, and then sighed.

"What are you guys doing! It took people's hearts away, but it's all gone, you know? This, this is the human heart, he Tang Ziran has been waiting for ten years, and this is the human heart that he is waiting for...... The old man wants to take a look and see how he Tang Ziran took away this person's heart! ”

Regardless of the dissuasion of everyone, Liu Kunyi came to the Yuanmen with the support of his son, the first thing he saw was the sun and moon flag hanging outside the Yuanmen, the red was so dazzling, although his Liangjiang Army had fought fiercely with the people's army again and again, although he had seen the sun and moon flag many times, but he did not resist, after he walked out of the Yuanmen, he looked at the students in front of him wearing school uniforms, these people were all students in the school he had painstakingly founded, could it be that their hearts were also taken away by Tang Ziran?

"You want to see the old man, and now the old man is here, you, tell me, what do you want to talk about when you want to see the old man!"

Staring at the young people in front of him, Liu Kunyi thought that these young people would retreat under his gaze, and at first, it was true, but then those students raised their heads as if they had suddenly figured out something, and met Liu Kunyi's gaze, and one of the leading students said fearlessly.

"Students, please electrify the whole country, the two rivers are independent, and my Chinese people will never be slaves of the Manchu Qing Dynasty again!" (To be continued.) )
