On February 1 of the first year of the Eastern Ming Dynasty, the "Eastern Ming Imperial Court" issued the official "Book of Abdication":

"The life span of the Ming Dynasty has ended, and the will of heaven cannot be violated, and those who violate it will be punished by heaven. Now the first emperor of the Eastern Ming Dynasty has been punished by heaven, so the subjects of the Eastern Ming Dynasty welcomed Li Hongsi, the true son of heaven, as the new emperor. At present, the Eastern Ming Empire has four capitals, 23 provinces, more than 4 billion subjects, and more than 20 million lands, all of which are loyal to His Majesty Li Hongsi, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. ”

As a result, that day was no longer "February 1 of the first year of the Eastern Ming Dynasty".

The "Tang Imperial Court" immediately announced the establishment of the Tang Empire, and the day became "February 1 of the first year of the Tang Dynasty".

At ten o'clock in the morning of February 1 of the first year of the Tang Dynasty, the enthronement ceremony officially began.

The enthronement ceremony was held in the West Chang'an Imperial Palace.

East Chang'an has been destroyed - but not too badly, except that the imperial palace has been destroyed, after all, there tanks shelled each other. Such a festive ceremony should not be held on the ruins, what is the matter with the emperor standing on the smoking Weiyang Palace and reading the "Founding Book"!

For the time being, West Chang'an does not have the momentum of the capital of the Ming Empire, but at least it is also spacious - plus the one-thousand-meter-high imperial palace, so it is even more spacious, and the founding ceremony is also very imposing.

The main venue of the ceremony is the Tang Hall on the tenth floor of the palace. At the beginning, the "Tang Palace" was just an ordinary layer similar to the side hall, but now that the Tang Empire is established, it will naturally become the main hall.

The ten-story glass walls became transparent, allowing millions of people in Chang'an to see more clearly – each with a telescope, so they could see more clearly. Millions of people cheered – you think of the scene, each with a telescope in their left hand in front of their eyes and their right hand waving up and down.

Emperor Li Hongsi walked up and sat on the dragon chair - accompanied by the cheers of millions of people.

The first empress, Pu Qinghong, walked up and sat on the dragon chair on the right side of the emperor.

The second empress, Dongfang Mingyue, walked up and sat on the dragon chair on the left side of the emperor.

The cheers seemed to be louder.

The one-thousand-meter-high palace surrounds two airships, one white and the other black, like a taiji diagram. Each one is two hundred meters long, one is called the "Eye of the Empire" and the other is called the "Eagle of the Empire" - legend has it that each dynasty had two airships of this name. They were all built last year by order of Qian Zhaoding, and many of the manufacturing parts are said to have appeared "out of thin air".

When the loudspeaker of the palace announced the establishment of the Tang Empire, the national anthem of the Tang Empire was heard inside:

"Thousands of miles away

Ten Thousand Years of Grace

The Tang Imperial Family

Eternal in the world

Wise and powerful

Billions of people rejoice

God bless my emperor

Longevity without borders"

- Well, that's not the Tang Dynasty Emperor Song - if I were asked to write it, I guess it would be perfunctory like this. The real Tang Dynasty Emperor Song was written by Li Hongsi himself, and the following is the Tang Dynasty Emperor Song:

"Justice and freedom,

This is our original intention,

There is justice in everyone's heart,

Everyone's body is free,

Datang is our pursuit.

-

-

equality and fraternity,

All men are brothers,

Datang is our home

Unite like brothers,

Everyone lives in peace and happiness.

-

-

Prosperity, prosperity,

It's our vow.

is our honor,

Datang is our parents,

It grows like a big tree.

-

-

piety, faith,

The world of divine creation,

God-endowed imperial power,

May the Emperor protect the world,

May the common people of the warriors be united,

Happiness and longevity

The people are in good health. ”

The anthem of the national anthem is over. People's mouths are open and closed, but I don't think many people can sing it, because yesterday Li Hongsi overrode public opinion and set this song that is not passionate as the national anthem of the Tang Dynasty. This song is very strange, people can understand it, because it is vernacular, but people can't understand it, because what are the things of "justice", "freedom", "equality", "fraternity", "prosperity", "prosperity", "piety" and "faith"?

After the anthem of the Tang Empire's national anthem, countless candies were thrown from the two hovering airships, some of which also included pure gold founding commemorative coins.

People frantically scrambled and scattered the imperial army, government army, and ministry army that were responsible for maintaining the continuity.

The celebration begins!

The first is the floats of the provinces. Gyeonggi Province, Sichuan Province, Tubo Province, Western Regions Province, Liangzhou Province, Mongolia Province, Shanxi Province, Liaoning West Province, Hebei Province, Liaodong Province, Korea Province, Central Plains Province, Shandong Province, Qianzhou Province, Yunnan Province, Jiangnan Province, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, Jiangdong Province, Lingnan Province, Far North Province, West Desert Province, Far South Province, Donghai Province passed in turn, each province planted its own provincial flag, provincial flowers, provincial birds, especially the float of Gyeonggi Province, which actually led a five-meter-high "pure red phoenix" to wander behind. Fortunately, Datang's national treasure "Qilin" was not brought in, otherwise it would not have eaten all the people!

The four major Orthodox churches followed. The four major imposter sect leaders followed behind in a fart - in fact, it can't be a fake, the court says that you are real, you are real, and the fake is also true.

Jianghu followed. All of them were sick, and I guess they were played by someone from the beggars or eunuchs.

In addition, many gangs and sects that were previously forbidden also came, after all, the emperor said that except for the Death Church, all are legal. They have the most private gangs. They were legal in the second half of their reign - although Zhu Zhaoding wanted to kill them as soon as the situation stabilized, but unfortunately he himself died first.

Legally, there is no "cult" in Datang. In the previous "Explanation of the Terms of the Ministry of Law", it was explained what a cult is: a cult is a kind of ideological crime, which is different from the ideology of the imperial court, that is, a cult. The characteristic of a cult is not necessarily rebellion. You think, Liaodong, Lingnan, and Jinling rebelled all day long, and the imperial court didn't say that they were cults. The current "Consultation Document" makes it very clear that you can think whatever you like, but if you want to rebel, you will be dealt with as a "crime of rebellion."

And those "cults" have no reason to be cults anymore - the reason why they are cults is because the imperial court wants to kill them; Now the court doesn't kill them, they still do fart cults.

Of course, among so many cults, there are also people who continue to be cults and continue to rebel. For example, the "Death Cult", they were quickly suppressed, because their purpose was to be suppressed. They were so disappointed that they were all looking for death. They thought that the Ten Great Holy Sects had gathered in Mongolia, and that a Divine Son would descend from the sky, holding the Heavenly Divine Sword, to open the apocalypse and destroy the world. However, this did not happen, and they could not accept this fact, and they all practiced the teachings of the Death Church more devoutly: death—that is, the completion of the teachings of the Death Church led to the demise of the Death Religion, and the demise of the Death Religion led to the completion of the Death Religion. What a strange paradox.

Most cults are no longer cults, and they quietly "eat vegetables and serve demons" instead of committing suicide under the banner of a cult.

In the end, of course, the major armies pressed the field.

First of all, the government troops of the major noble clans all carried large swords and spears. There is nothing strange about these, only two government armies are more powerful: the Liaodong Army and the Lingnan Army are all carrying rifles. In particular, the 300,000 troops in Lingnan, who appeared in Chang'an for the first time, are particularly noteworthy.

Then there are the ministries of the ministries. Most of the armies were in ruins, with the exception of one army, the Household Army. You see, the cricket army in front of the Hubu army and the grasshopper army in the back are all big swords, spears and sticks, even if the Shang Department smuggles a large number of rifles from Liaodong and Lingnan, it is just a rifle - and the Hubu army turned out to be tanks and armored vehicles and artillery! Damn, it's even more arrogant than the rest of the Imperial Army and the Forbidden Army!

The rest are the Imperial Army and the Forbidden Army.

The imperial army had just recovered from a sudden civil war, and the troops loyal to Zhang Qiangsheng, with the help of the "rebels", wiped out the troops loyal to the Eastern Ming court. They were about two million, mostly rifles.

The forbidden army was the Dongming forbidden army of Zhu Zhaoding before, and there were less than 500,000 left. These 500,000 all surrendered, and those who did not surrender were killed long ago. In fact, they were also going to die, except for Li Hongsi, everyone demanded that they all be executed. But Li Hongsi is the emperor, since he insists, others can only count it like this, so these forbidden soldiers have survived.

The last army was gone, and all that remained was the "spontaneous" march of the onlookers. Millions of people marched through the front lines of the palace in turn, cheering and shouting hooray. Because the people spontaneously shouted long live, the emperor was highly embraced; Because the emperor was so popular, all the people spontaneously cheered long live. - This is unquestionable logic and truth.

When all was over, millions of troops stood on the left side of the palace, millions of subjects on the right side of the palace, and everyone looked at the ten floors of the palace.

On the tenth floor of the palace, Emperor Li Hongsi stood next to the Holy Maiden, of course, an impostor. The holy maiden took the holy water handed over by the maid of the Holy Land, dipped her hands in it, and gently sprinkled it on the emperor's chest; The holy woman took the divine crown handed over by the maid of the holy place next to her and put it on the emperor's head; The holy woman took the jade seal handed over by the maid of the Holy Land and tied it around the emperor's waist; The holy woman took the Heavenly Sword handed over by the maid of the Holy Land and solemnly placed it in the emperor's hand.

The Emperor drew his sword and raised it high. Because the emperor drew the holy sword, he must be the Son of Heaven; Because he is the Son of Heaven, he will definitely be able to draw the holy sword. - This is unquestionable logic and truth.

Ten million people cheering!

Just as the crowd cheered, a loud, low sound came from the west. The sound grew louder and sharper.

Two black cylinders flew by from the east, and the speed was as fast as death! The next second is still in the sky, and this second has arrived. I took a look, damn it, this speed, at least seven or eight times the speed of sound, and the flames spewing out from the back of the cylindrical butt are more than ten times longer than the cylindrical body!

Two black pillars flew to the West Chang'an City Gate, stopped for a second, and then turned ninety degrees, one flew counterclockwise, one flew clockwise, probably just wrapped East Chang'an and West Chang'an, the midpoint of Shuangcheng Avenue is the dot of the circular trajectory, and the east gate of East Chang'an and the west gate of West Chang'an are their meeting points. I stretched out my watch and counted the seconds—they met about once a minute. Shuangcheng Avenue is sixty kilometers, counting East and West Chang'an, that big circle is about a few hundred kilometers - that is to say, the speed of the cylinder is three or four kilometers per second, ten times the speed of sound!

Suddenly, a pillar of light emitted from the top of the black pillar's head, a cone-shaped pillar of light. One has a blue pillar of light on its head and the other a red pillar of light. It's 11 o'clock in the morning, the sun is strong, and it was too much daylight for any light bulb to be so bright! And these pillars of light are very bright, like paint!

The ends of the two pillars of light coincided precisely, and a large, black speck appeared on the ground, as deep as the universe. The huge black spot started from the White Tiger Gate, the east gate of West Chang'an, and first moved from south to north, and then from north to south, and so on and so on, never repeatedly, and kept scanning from west to east.

My description seems simple, but you have to understand that two black pillars are flying at ten times the speed of sound on a circular trajectory of several hundred kilometers, and the conical beams of light they shoot out actually coincide in a circle, and they scan like this!

10 million people in Chang'an cheered - this is the real miracle! For animals, human tools are miracles; For the countryman, the car of the city man is a miracle; When people have seen the cars, for the people in the city, the tanks of the Chang'an people are a miracle; When people have seen the tank, for the people of Chang'an, the plane of the royal family is a miracle. Now, an even more miraculous miracle is just around the corner, and people are cheering.

Emperor Li Hongsi was very happy, clapping his hands and laughing. He turned to Zhao Yuyang and Zhang Qiangsheng and said, "Yes, you are well prepared!" ”

Zhao Yuyang's face turned pale, and his whole body was trembling.

Zhang Qiangsheng looked puzzled and looked at the "plane" in the sky.

The Emperor's expression became serious.

The officials of the Tang Hall all became serious.

Ten million people watched the expressions of the palace people through their binoculars.

It was all quiet.

An idiom suddenly appeared in my head: "Ye Gong is a good dragon".

That black spot swept across the city of West Chang'an.

I looked at the black spot from the tenth floor of the palace.

The diameter of the black spot is about a few hundred meters, sweeping through the sacrificial area, Taimiao area, school area, Fubu area, and Shizu area in the east of Chang'an, and heading straight for the Huangcheng District.

More than 10 million people did not hesitate and ran westward, retreating like a retreat.

The Black Spot was rushing towards the palace at great speed.
