Episode 198 Great benefactor, great savior

After getting off the train at Fourteen Grids, a girl's smiling face appeared at the door of the carriage——.

The officials on the platform complained bitterly in their hearts, and they leaned down again, shouting "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Chitose Chitose, Chitose, Chitose". Then they all stared at the car door, and said that there must be more than one princess coming.

Sure enough, after the second sister Zhu Youmei came out, the third sister Zhu Youli and the fourth sister Zhu Younan also came out one after another.

The four sisters of the Zhu family are all here.

Immediately afterward, the door of a train of cars behind also opened. Zheng Yujiao and Zheng Yuxuan walked out one after another.

Zheng Gongyin, the king of Yanping, did not come. He was supposed to come, but he was almost fifty years old here, and with his wide body and fat body, Fugui's illness was getting worse and worse every year. A few days ago, I suffered a slight cerebral hemorrhage and was admitted to the hospital. Although there were no major consequences, the doctor said that you should not be tired for a long time and that you should rest well, otherwise you may have an accident.

The Central Plains of Beiding, which took three hundred years to wait, entered the old capital to worship the ancestral tomb, and Zheng Gongyin didn't want to miss this opportunity. But Zhu Yourong and Zheng Yuxuan didn't let him come, for fear that something would happen to him on the road. Therefore, it was only to let the prince come to Beijing with the holy car on behalf of the king of Yanping.

followed Zheng Yuxuan out of the following three younger sisters. The three little girls are also the same as Zhu Yourong's three younger sisters, usually obediently study in the boudoir, and now they have this opportunity to travel long distances, and they are very excited to enjoy the beautiful rivers and mountains of their homeland all the way. When I got off the train, I relied on the repeated efforts of my facial muscles, so that I was not so happy and smiling, and I barely managed to keep the reserve of the royal princess and the county lord.

Then, in the back carriages, the main royal relatives of Zhu and Zheng's two families, the seven aunts and eight aunts, also came out. These dragon sons and grandsons of Zhu Chongba will finally be able to return to Beijing after three hundred years. Although most of these people are adults, it is obvious that the excitement of those young people is no less than that of those young people.

……

That night, the vast Summer Palace was brightly lit. On the shore of Kunming Lake, in the mercury lamps and neon lights, the lake waves reflect the pavilions, strange rocks and weeping willows. Next to the table of imperial banquets, important figures from all walks of life in the military and political circles of the Ming Dynasty talked and laughed. Reporters from the southern part of the Ming Dynasty and reporters from all over the world shuttled around the country with their charter certificates and long guns and short cannons. When you encounter a place with good lighting, and you encounter a big person worth shooting, you will flash a magnesium light with a "bang......

There are very few paparazzi, and not a single tabloid reporter who writes irresponsible articles is put in, only the reporters of the big newspapers. There are also a few influential leisure and lifestyle magazines, and their "entertainment" has come a lot. The entertainment reporters are most interested in the princesses, county lords, clan ladies, and ladies and ladies at the royal banquet. Even in Nanjing, it is rare to have the opportunity for so many royal ladies and ladies to get together. Whenever there is such an occasion, under the spotlight of the paparazzi, their clothing, jewelry, bags, shoes, hats, shawls, and hairstyles will guide the popular trend of the Ming Dynasty and even the upper class society in East Asia in the next six months to a year.

In addition to the big people from the Ming Dynasty, there are more big people in the Summer Palace who are the big people of the former Qing Dynasty. Either important nobles, such as the prince of the county and Beizi Baylor, or the Qing generals who had previously defected to the Ming army. Of course, there are also some former Qing officials. The Manchu "big men" who can enter the Summer Palace and give a banquet together have one condition, that is, there is basically no big problem. Those who have committed great crimes and are in great blood debts, although the Ming Court still can't take care of them now, but tonight's imperial banquet is undoubtedly a signal for them. The big stone in the heart of the invited fell to the ground, and the indulgence was staggered, and those who were not invited were all nervous and panicked.

As soon as the Ming army occupied the north, the Ming royal family had a banquet in the same garden with the former Qing royal family, which undoubtedly sent a signal to the whole country and the world. Countless Eight Banners disciples who were ready to flee with their family wealth also re-untied the fineness of the bag and felt at ease.

……

The next day, March 18.

Today is Zhu Yourong's birthday, and it is also the traditional "Little National Day" of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a day off. This is also the characteristic of the monarchies of the East: there is no national holiday like in the West, but the birthday of the monarch of the current dynasty is regarded as the national holiday. Therefore, when each monarch is in power, the "National Day" is different.

After the modern Ming Restoration, the National Day of the West was also introduced. That is, January 23 is designated as National Day. On January 23, 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang invaded Beijing, overthrew the rule of the Mongol Yuan, and established the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, after modern times, January 23 is also known as the "Great National Day". Although there is a "big" word, it actually continues the previous tradition, the birthday of the Son of Heaven is celebrated very lively, and the "Great National Day" is not very moving.

Now, in addition to being a "small National Day", March 18 is about to be given a new identity - Liberation Day. In the future, even if Zhu Yourong is no longer in office, March 18 will always be celebrated.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the Ming army's entry into the city began.

The door of Anding slowly opened, and the military band played a loud music and walked in the front. This was followed by the Taihang Mountain Column phalanx. These Hebei and Shanxi men wore brand-new and straight Ming army uniforms, and their war-torn faces were almost distorted with excitement. Many tears came down directly. Although none of them had received much formal military training, and none of them stepped on the drum closest to the military band, they held their heads high at the moment, and the front standard-bearer held high the military flag of the Taihang Mountain Column, proud like the triumphant ancient Roman legions.

As soon as the gates were opened and the military band appeared, the people at the gates began to cheer. Soon, cheers spread throughout the city, and everywhere they could see and see, they began to cheer. These people have been suppressed for too long, and it has not been a long time since they have cheered so sincerely.

The Taihang Mountain Column was the phalanx with the largest number of people, and it took a while to finish.

Then there were several phalanxes of the Ming Army. They are the meritorious troops of the Battle of Nanjing-the Capital Garrison Formation, the People's Guard Infantry Phalanx, and the Army Phalanx that participated in the Defense Battle and the Pukou Counterattack.

Then, there were the troops of the fortress division of the Yangtze River defense line. Although they are pure defense troops and have not been in the limelight, as the "Great Wall" of the Ming Empire, they have played an irreplaceable role for many years.

Next, the eyes of the people of Beijing widened: this ...... This is actually a group of female soldiers!

Phalanx of submarine forces of the Yangtze River fleet. Since the Ming Dynasty formed a submarine force in the early 20th century, these female soldiers have become the only purely female combat unit in the Ming army. In particular, the submarine units of the Yangtze River Fleet are doing the most dangerous errands. Over the years, more people have been sunk by the Qing army and killed by mines than the entire navy. In addition, the story of the "Grasshopper" spread all over the country, and the submarine force of the Yangtze River Fleet became synonymous with "women heroes".

Next, there are the four major fleets of the Navy, the army phalanx, and the navy phalanx...... When the army and navy phalanx entered the city, the fleet of planes over Beijing also roared past and was reviewed. Fighter ace pilots play stunts, like old fritters, attracting people's eyes from the ground to the sky.

After the infantry phalanx basically entered the city, it was a phalanx of mechanized troops. At the head of the list are the phalanx of tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery of the armored division of the People's Guard. Then, there is the phalanx of military trucks, off-road vehicles, and motorcycles of the army's motorized infantry division.

As soon as these rumbling big guys entered the city, the emotions of the people of Beijing became excited, and the cheers shook the sky.

The commanders were exposed on top of the turret, their hands pressed on the sides of the turret, their heads held high, like the ancient heavily armored knights. The soldiers on the armored personnel carriers and military cards were much more casual, and they also cheered and bowed excitedly to both sides of the street, as if the champion had returned home on a tall horse. Cigarettes, fruits, dates, peanuts and the like rained down on the car.

……

The entrance to the city has reached the highest - the tide. Court brass bands appeared on both sides of the city gates. After a burst of solemn music passed through the gate, twelve sidecar motorcycles drove neatly into the city gate, followed by five Yuhua luxury cars. In the middle, the largest and most beautiful car sits Zhu Yourong.

As soon as Zhu Yourong appeared, the entire city of Beijing boiled.

The people on both sides almost knelt down one after another, crying silently. Cries such as "Long live", "Great Benefactor", and "Great Savior" constantly erupted.

Xiang Xiaoqiang was on the city tower, looking at the people who were kneeling down with a handful of snot and tears, and heard the earth-shattering shouts all over the city, and listened carefully for a long time before he could tell what it was.

He shook his head and said to Zhao Cunnian beside him:

"Alas...... Hear it, they've never stood up mentally. Now for them, it's just a change of master. It's just a good master. The dictator is gone, but the soil remains. The new liberator can become the new dictator at the slightest thought. And it's easy without a bit of resistance. In the eyes of these kneeling people, the officials of the Qing Dynasty are bad because they are all bad people, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty are good because they are all good people, it's as simple as that. Are our officials born good? Bullshit, it's not all two legs and one thing. Our official favor is because he doesn't have a chance. If you have a chance, you will definitely be more ruthless than the officials of the Northern Qing Dynasty. How am I? It can only be that good, right? During this time in Beijing, the eldest and my second are the eldest of the day, and my mother is about to learn badly...... If I were left in Beijing and left unattended, I would be the second in Guangwu in less than two years. ”

Zhao Cunnian pushed his glasses and sighed:

"Yes! Now we are going to engage in dictatorship in the north, a matter of words. The common people still support it. All you have to do is tell them you're going to be a good emperor. Then kill a group of corrupt officials and appoint a group of new officials, and the common people will be grateful to you and risk their lives to support you. Next, you can ride on their heads however you want. After two generations, they will find that this new court is just as bad, if not worse, than the old one...... But by then it was too late. And they won't understand why yet. …… Alas, on the contrary, it is much more difficult to engage in constitutional government. What checks and balances, what decentralization...... It's so complicated, they don't understand it, they don't like it. They don't recognize the system, but they recognize the people. It seems that it is a system that determines that it is a good person who saves them, rather than a system that prevents that good person from becoming a bad person. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded, thinking so. He sneered:

"Ordinary people...... I just like to be clean and neat. With an iron and bloody hand, they will be happy when they come to power and kill a group of corrupt officials. As long as they think that you are a big savior, they can't wait to tell you the door key, the second door key, the passbook account number, the cash box password, which room the big wife and little wife sleep in, and what day the menstrual cycle is. ”

Zhao Cunnian couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile:

"And then I will count on you to be like a saint and not touch his property and wife."

"That's it!"

Xiang Xiaoqiang laughed. The two of them burst out laughing together.

"Alas!" Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed, "It's also fortunate that our Majesty is such a person." Otherwise, the people of the north, hum, where is it early! ”
