Chapter 226: The Spring Festival Gala and the Chinese Character of the Year
On the last night of the second year of Dewu, on the temporary stage built in Fengdu Square, a party belonging to the citizens of the Ming Dynasty began.
The opening song and dance is the dance song "May My Emperor Be Forever Well" selected by the Royal Song and Dance Troupe of the Ministry of Rites.
Then, the acrobatics selected by the Royal Special Forces - "Flying Motorcycle for Twelve", "Empty Hands to the White Blade", "Flying Knife and Apple".
Naturally, the traditional preservation project of the Ministry of Industry is indispensable - then select a lucky audience to experience the new invention of the Ministry of Works, "The Treadmill".
According to the statistics after the party, this program was praised by 99.9% of the audience.
This Spring Festival Gala also emerged a large number of language programs that reflect real life.
"A Letter of Persuasion to My Father", "The Policy of the Ming Dynasty", "The Story of the Auto Parts Workshop", "His Majesty the Emperor's Flat Dan", "It's Wonderful to Be the Daughter-in-law of the Ming Dynasty" and other works are closely related to public life;
"I Build a Railway for Your Majesty", "California Bandits", "Cut the Braids in My Heart" and other works pay equal attention to emotional concentration and depth of thought, not only touching with emotion, but also full of life philosophy, and strive to resonate with the audience's heartstrings at the same frequency;
Works such as "Yang Bailao and Little Cabbage", "Huang Shilang and Zhang Mazi", and "Cixi's New Clothes" lashed out at the cannibalistic Manchu society, the evil old-style landlords, and the oppression of bureaucrats, making the audience praise the righteous style and discipline in laughter.
Finally, in the collective chorus "Planting the Sun and Moon Flag in the White House", the party came to an end.
At the same time, 12 bells rang leisurely.
This time, the bell did not come from Nirvana Department Store, which specially turned off the big clock on the roof.
This time the bell comes from the Martyrs' Shrine, which is solemn and full of ancient meaning.
As the bell rings, hundreds of fireworks burst into the sky, bursting into the night sky.
The third year of the Great Ming Dewu, the 1865 year of the Western calendar, and the year of Yichou have finally arrived (as explained above, in order to avoid complicated conversion, the lunisolar calendar is not distinguished).
Looking at the people singing and dancing, Zhu Fugui and Yin Susu snuggled together, smiling like flowers.
"The ice and snow melted
Look at the plum blossoms
The long night passed
I heard a rooster crow
Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations
……”
In the past year, the Ming Dynasty once again survived and grew between the Anglo-Saxon bandits and the Manchu reactionaries.
And the three years of German military force is the moment when the Ming Dynasty blows the clarion call for strategic counteroffensive.
The three-year period has passed, and the true dragon shows its minions.
According to the original history, this year, the civil war of the bandits will end.
On April 3, 1865, the Union Army captured Richmond.
On 9 April, General Robert Lee, commander-in-chief of the Confederate forces, surrendered to the Union Army with the remnants of 28,000 men.
The American Civil War ended with the victory of the North, and the United States was reunited.
But just five days later, on April 14, U.S. President Abraham Abraham Brown Brown Lincoln, assassinated at Ford's Theatre in Washington.
Democrat Johnson succeeded Millican as vice president, he pardoned almost all the top officials in the Southern government, and Confederate President Jefferson Davis was able to get out of prison after only two years in Lincoln's grave.
None of the other high-ranking officials in the southern part of the country has a maximum sentence of more than five months.
In the end, with a single bullet, the southern forces stole the final victory in a sense.
However, in this plane, Stonewall Jackson, the strongest general in the South, is still alive and well.
Although the Southern Army, which had lost the support of military rations, had gradually fallen into disadvantage, it was far from the point of exhaustion.
The end of the war seems far away.
……
January 1 of the third year of Dewu.
Like last year, Zhu Fugui came to the Martyrs' Shrine to offer incense to the national heroes.
Last year, Zhu Fugui was attacked by Hiroshi Ii and was forced to write a "one".
This year, Zhu Fugui came prepared, and spent 200 yuan on Taobao early in the morning to ask someone to write a word.
It's a word for "breaking"!
As soon as the curtain was lifted, when they saw this word, all of them, including Ikai and the others, gasped.
You must know that it was Li Chuang who forced Chongzhen to hang Meishan!
But Yi Jing is a senior licking dog, how can he be disrupted by these Xu shocks?
Mung Bean's eyes rolled slightly, and he was about to speak.
This time, however, there was a young man with a longer tongue who got ahead of him.
That is Zhu Fugui's conference secretary - Ito Hirobumi.
"Your Majesty wrote the word 'Chuang', which made the ministers drink ice like July, and they were dripping with joy!
The minister can't help but congratulate His Majesty and congratulate Daming!
In today's land of five continents, white people are rampant, black slaves are rampant, and my Xia Miao descendants exist in the gaps.
However, since the three ancestors of Yan, Huang, and Chiyou, my descendants of Zhuxia have dominated the world, how can the eldest husband be depressed and live under the people for a long time? !
The ancient women defeated the ghosts and Weishui, and protected the foundation of the summer for three thousand years.
The ghost is another species from the east of the Aryans.
The Aryans, the white savages of Quincy.
Its division is divided into three shares, or into Tianzhu, or attacking Europa, all win.
Only I am in China, and there are countless heads of white ghosts, building a view of Beijing, and threatening the Quartet.
Today, Yangyi wants to make me panic that Zhuxia has fallen into a cheap species, and there are Jiannu who are cruel inside and outside, and martial arts are declining, cutting Hong Kong today, cutting Kowloon tomorrow, Yangyi's arrogance is winning day by day, and the hearts of the Chinese people are losing day by day.
In the past, there were thieves, who regarded themselves as party items, and gave up Huaxia to Yidi, and laughed in vain, but the thieves were evil, but 'Chuang' was not evil.
Now my emperor inherits the mandate of heaven, under the An Li people, leads the Xia, Zhanyangyi, the three emperors of Derby, and the five emperors of Zhigai.
Ladies and gentlemen, today, Your Majesty wants to fight, wants to break a life for Zhuxia, do we dare to do it? ”
As he spoke, Ito Hirobumi was the first to kneel down, grab the ground with his head, and shouted: "Your Majesty wants to die!" Da Ming - Wan Sheng -"
The other ministers scolded this little Japanese for being cunning and cunning, and hurriedly shouted: "Ming Wansheng!" ”
……
The relationship between the monarch and the minister of the Ming Dynasty is so simple and sincere.
After finishing the sacrifice of the Martyrs' Shrine, Zhu Fugui and Concubine Ai spent a few days without shame, and then set off again for the railway company in the Xinyimeng Mountains.
What greeted Zhu Fugui was naturally Julie's fiery red lips and hot body.
If it weren't for Zhu Fugui's extraordinary talent, he really couldn't cope with this heat.
Of course, Zhu Fugui came here after a few days of rest, not because he was obsessed with women, but because of national affairs.
The Fengdu-Omaha railway is too important for the Ming Dynasty.
Although the Spring Festival Gala has added a lot of cultural value to Zhu Fugui, in the absence of TV broadcasting technology, even the spacious Fengdu Square can accommodate a limited number of people.
Otherwise, there would be no need for a ticketing system.
The number of viewers is limited, resulting in the number of cultural values gathered in the Spring Festival Gala is also limited.
Opening up the Southwest Railway and dumping cultural products into the Western world naturally became a top priority.
And, as food shortages in the Atlantic worsened, the British had finally abandoned their Southern governments.
Lincoln pinched his nose and used Ulysses Simpson Granger, a veteran who had voted for the Democratic candidate in his own presidential election.
This is because of the helpless choice that his henchman has taken after Robert King Jr. seems to be caught in an endless war of annihilation of the Black Paladin.
But it was this choice that caused the pressure on the Southern Army to increase sharply.
After Grant became commander-in-chief of the Union Army, he adopted the strategic principle of "divide and annihilate" the Confederate Army, namely:
(1) cut off the lines of communication of the Yugoslav Army so that they could not communicate with each other;
(2) the three-light policy, which destroys all the enemy's resources;
(3) Quickly strike at the enemy's grain-producing areas with superior forces and further crush the enemy's logistics;
In addition, he also adjusted the command system of the combat troops, removed some incompetent people, and reused some wise and brave generals, such as Sherman, Halek, and so on.
As a result of Grant's strategy, the Southern states of the Midwest became loosely connected to the Richmond government.
The Southern powerhouse – Lone Star – Texas is currently showing strong separatist tendencies, intending to secede not only from Citigroup, but also from the Confederate government.
This made Richmond's supplies even more strained.
All in all, whether the Ming Dynasty can open up the lifeline to support the Red Neck in time is the key point for how long the Civil War can last.
Strategically speaking, instead of exchanging soybeans and corn for future generations, it is far more cost-effective to ask the rednecks directly for gold or women.
