Chapter 317: Is This What It's Like to Be a Great Ming? (Thanks to book friends for the 2017 reward)
"I solemnly swear: I voluntarily take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, and my descendants will always be loyal to the Ming royal family, and to the Holy Son of Heaven Zhu Shan (turtle) and his descendants.
I will abide by the laws of the country, be virtuous, never leave the king, do not disobey the edict, and dedicate my life to the revival of Zhuxia.
The Mandate of Heaven is clear, the Ming Dynasty is Yongchang, this deed and this oath, there will be no change in eternity! โ
In front of the banner of the Sun Moon Jindi Banner, 84 lucky people who have passed the naturalization examination and political review are solemnly swearing an oath.
Horse Miyazaki is also one of them.
His pronunciation is very poor, and many times the syllables, especially the tongue sound such as the R sound, are extremely non-standard.
But he still struggled to read aloud, one might even shout hard.
As if to solemnly declare to this heaven and earth that he is the true Chinese people and the most loyal converts of the Ming Dynasty.
Miyazaki's eyes blurred with tears.
The Ming flag in front of me is so beautiful and solemn, how hard-won it is, and it is worth caring for with your life.
"Very good, very energetic!"
The naturalization officer nodded to everyone, and then, a dozen naturalizers hung spiritual infusion sticks around their waists and placed basins of water in front of the oath-taker.
"Enter China in this life, wash away the hulu qi!"
Mabi Miyazaki respectfully took the towel, soaked it in a basin, and then carefully wiped his face.
"The blazing holy fire, scorching filth, entering my Ming Dynasty, cutting off the past!"
As instructed, Miyazaki used a small torch to light the three incense sticks in front of the case, and the refreshing aroma lingered on the tip of his nose.
"Injected into the soul of China, he is already a Ming person!"
Ma Miyazaki respectfully stretched out his palm again and let the naturalizer slap his palm three times with the spirit injection stick.
โฆโฆ
At the beginning, Zhu Fugui suspected that they were doing this process according to the custom of marrying relatives and marrying the groom.
However, it seems that there is nothing wrong with adding a little sense of ritual.
It's all good things, and Zhu Fugui didn't care about it.
Today, the naturalization process is getting fuller.
Horse Miyazaki is destined to remember this colorful and unforgettable day.
Although his palms were still painful, he was now a noble citizen of the Ming Dynasty.
When he walked out of the Naturalization Division, Miyazaki Ma found that the sky was so blue, the grass was so green, and the world was so beautiful.
When passing by the Nirvana Department Store, he couldn't help but glance at the floor-to-ceiling glass again, only to see that the young man in the reflection of the glass was still thin and weak, and his clothes were still shabby, but his posture was much taller for some reason.
This...... Is it what it feels like to be a Ming person?
Walking briskly to the guest house, Keiko had already looked at the railing, and when she saw her son returning, she rushed out on clogs.
"Mother, I did it, I did it!"
"Mom knows, Mom knows you can succeed......"
Keiko hugged her son, and her eyes were red.
To be honest, as a woman in her thirties, it is impossible to cross the ocean with her son to a strange country, and say that she is not afraid.
If it weren't for the fact that his son told him that he was valued by the imperial army and that he might become a Ming man, and that face when he went to Fengdu to study that couldn't hide his longing no matter what, Keiko would definitely not agree to such a crazy idea.
And now, he's finally done it!
"Mommy is proud of you, kid!"
Keiko brushed her son's hair and asked, "So what should we do next?" Although Zhao Sang still has a lot of aid, it ......"
Zhao Sang is Zhao Xizhu, the head of the Third Division and the Eighth Regiment, and he is also the guide of Keiko's mother and son.
Zhao Xizhu is still staying in Japan to exterminate the stubborn bandits who dare to disobey the Ming Dynasty, and before Keiko's mother and son left, he handed Keiko 50 yuan Daming treasure money as living expenses.
If he knew that 50 Ming treasure banknotes were equivalent to more than 30 taels of silver (about more than 12,000 yuan), Keiko would never dare to accept this aid.
Thinking of the enthusiastic and cheerful, but cold-blooded and fierce Ming officer who was a foreigner and villain, Keiko somehow felt a little hot on his face.
"Mother, don't worry, I have a letter of recommendation from the Royal Army, and I can be admitted to the Preparatory Department of the National Prison without examination, and as long as I have excellent academic performance, I can get a scholarship that is enough to support my life."
Miyazaki Ma didn't notice his mother's abnormality, and said excitedly, "I heard from Head Zhao that he will open Enke again in June this year, and if I'm lucky, maybe I can be admitted to university early......"
The Preparatory Department of Guozijian is the middle school attached to Guozijian, which is a mixture of middle and high schools.
Although the future of students who become the students of the preparatory department of Guozijian is bright, many young people nowadays are more inclined to go to vocational high school.
In this era, students graduating from vocational high schools are also talents welcomed by major factories and troops.
Especially for example, the marine repair vocational school, which is nicknamed the Sailor Middle School, where as soon as the students graduate, the sailor will rush to choose people.
And the treatment of the sailor is notoriously lucrative.
Generally speaking, after the Ming and French Wars, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably attract many progressive pseudo-Qing students to smuggle in to serve.
However, Daming is still extremely short of talents.
As long as you are literate, you can basically skip primary education.
The number of hours in middle school is also compressed, and as long as you can pass the assessment, you can enter the university.
For a ten-year-old like Mama Miyazaki, if he has a good foundation, it is not impossible to go crazy and skip a grade to enter university.
In later generations, this practice is tantamount to pulling out seedlings and promoting growth, and it is not admirable.
But in this fiery era of imperial expansion, it is the right choice to exchange the burning of one or two generations for the rapid growth of nations and states in a period of historical opportunity.
Looking at her high-spirited son, Keiko smiled and nodded.
No, she already had other plans.
Compared with his son's illusory scholarship, it is safer to go to work in a factory to subsidize the family.
They have been living in the army guest house now, and the rent in Fengdu is not cheap......
The aunt who cleans the corridor here is also a Japanese woman, and Keiko once secretly inquired about the market from her.
Although the communication was not very pleasant, Keiko still got a lot of useful information.
Keiko actually married to Hiroshima in Kanto, and the Japanese women of the Ming Dynasty are basically the most authentic Kansai people such as Shimonoseki and Yamaguchi.
Keiko's Kanto accent was ostracized.
For this reason, Keiko decided to wait for her son to go to school, and she signed up for training at the Naturalization Division.
On the one hand, it is to facilitate the search for a job in the future, and on the other hand, it is to learn the Ming Zhengyin well.
Although because of the naturalization of her only son, Keiko can choose to apply for refuge and settle down.
However, she can still apply for free imperial education from the Naturalization Department.
She made up her mind that she must learn Da Ming Zhengyin well, and when the time comes, she will see which Obasang dares to look down on her.
It's like mainland tourists who go to Hangkang, and if they don't speak Cantonese well, they will be excluded, but if you can teach them a lesson in an authentic London accent, they will run away with their tails between their legs.
The times are different, but the human heart is still the same.
There is an authentic and authentic Ming Zhengyin, which is the most advanced status symbol in the group of female sisters.
