After conceiving his own flag of Western Chu, Zuo Zongtang was very satisfied.

But soon, he found that he still had too much to learn from Li Hongzhang.

The ceremony held by Li Hongzhang is much more magnificent than the ceremony of the Western Chu Army swearing in Weishui and Zuo Zongtang carrying the coffin to the west.

From the shamans in the Northeast to the face-changing stunts in Sichuan, from the juggling class of the lion dance in Guangdong to the Huangmei Theater Troupe in Anhui, the performances of Tiannanhai have all become a grand performance of traditional Chinese culture.

It can be said that in the 21st century Chinese intangible cultural heritage catalog, more than half of it is here.

All kinds of dazzling performances made the Ming Liangzong couple addicted and amazed.

Li Hongzhang smiled and patted the stunned Zuo Zongtang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Ji, when it comes to fighting, I can't do it, and when it comes to show, you can't."

Brother Yu went south this time, the mountains are long, the water is heavy, and it is difficult to see his homeland, but he and Brother Ji Gao, you are separated by a Xingdu...... Hindu ......"

"You mean, Hindu Kush?"

The map of the Pamir region, Zuo Zongtang is about to rot, so he naturally knows where Li Hongzhang is talking about.

Li Hongzhang nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's that mountain, Sanskrit and Persian are hard to remember, anyway, Chinese means 'killing Indians' mountain range, our two families are separated from it, and we have to move around more in the future, after all, the two of us hunted hand in hand back then...... Hunting a Taiping soldier, but there is a very tacit understanding, and now hunting those people, you need more cooperation to ......"

·

As the saying goes, happy times are always short-lived.

The five-hour swearing-in meeting soon came to an end.

Because the show was so interesting, Zhu Fugui even forgot to eat the Snickers he prepared.

In the end, Zhu Fugui, as the son of heaven in the mother country of Shangbang, raised a warm Shaoxing rice wine and poured it into the Huangpu River, for all the warriors who were willing or forced to give up.

At the same time, the majestic "March of the Sun and Moon Empire" was also played by the Ming Royal Military Band.

On the high mast of Lujiazui Wharf, the sun and moon flags of the Ming Dynasty slowly rose, and finally hunted in the wet and cold river breeze.

This is not the end, because after the flag of the Ming Empire is raised, the flag of the Principality of the Southern Tang Dynasty will also be raised on the second-class small flagpole.

At this time, a Hui opera troupe from Li Hongzhang's hometown in Hefei babbled and played the national anthem of the Southern Tang Dynasty "Li Guogong Music". (The specific melody is from Baidu "Li Zhongtang Music")

"The golden palace is heavy in the purple pavilion, and the jade hibiscus on the cactus.

The saint Son of Heaven faces the sky and drives six dragons for the emperor. ”

The lyrics are simple, and Hyogo is also very straightforward.

According to the level of Zhu Fugui's high school Chinese reading comprehension, this should be the meaning of Grandpa Li's straightforward expression of his heart and hope to be the forerunner of the Ming Empire.

But Zhu Fugui felt that he was thinking a little too much.

If the minions of the Ming Dynasty are pasteurs like him, then the Ming Dynasty will definitely become a paper dragon.

But after all, it is a big day for people to become teachers, and Zhu Fugui is not easy to discourage people's interest, so he showed the signature hearty smile of a certain northern neighbor, the third generation, and applauded slightly with both hands to show encouragement.

In the end, with Zhu Fugui's order, the nine hundred Han generals shouted like a bell: "The Xihe Niuzhou Pioneer Group of the Southern Tang Principality of the Ming Empire will immediately set sail - set sail - set sail -"

Immediately, the whistles of hundreds of sea ships sounded together, and even Chongming Island, which was dozens of kilometers away, was startled by countless birds......

The first fleet of the Ming Dynasty to go to the South Asian subcontinent has officially set off!

·

Just when Zhu Fugui said goodbye to the wanderer with tears and Li Hongzhang was in high spirits and was ready to set up a few cannons on the coast of the Indian Ocean to make the Indians succumb, on the distant snowy plateau, a long line shaped like beggars was marching.

If the so-called Pamir knot and the roof of the world are nothing more than a distant, hazy geographical term in Li Hongzhang's mind, then for Zhao Xingzhen, she has already felt their power.

As the saying goes, the law of the ancestors is immutable, but we can change the ancestors.

Yehenara Xingzhen has completely changed her name to Zhao Xingzhen.

In fact, this was not a temporary idea after Soltna's arrival in Beijing.

The wonderful idea of changing ancestors was vaguely formed in her mind several years ago.

To be precise, it was when the Ottoman Turkish minister accepted Aguba's bribe that the Ottoman State submitted the "Letter of State from the Sick Man at Sunset to the Sick Man at Sunrise" to the Qing Dynasty and declared war.

Looking at the hawk-nosed wolf-eyed, ghost-like Ottomans, who actually claimed to be Ashina Turkic nobles, and even descendants of the Huns and Xianbei, Xingzhen couldn't hold back on the spot.

The world recognizes the thickness of his father's skills, and his skin is unsurpassed.

In addition to being disgusted, Xingzhen slapped her thigh, and secretly said that since these guys are even of different races, they can also recognize their ancestors indiscriminately.

Why can't you yourself?

He looks very similar to the Zhao Song royal family.

And there is also the article "Pig Totem" as evidence, Yehenara and Aixin Jueluo are mortal enemies, and Yehe naturally has the bloodline of Zhao Daguan.

Don't ask too much.

Asking is unwarranted.

Why is there no need?

It's ancestral!

Xingzhen's theory has reached a logical closed loop in a sense.

It's a pity that although he recognized Zhao Song as his father, when he reported to the Son of Heaven for approval, Zhu Fugui still mercilessly added a "Tartar" in front of the word "Song".

"Great Song" became "Tatar Song", which can be regarded as well-deserved.

Historically, the young emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was driven by the Mongols to wander around on the sea.

This small court of the Tatar Song Dynasty was not driven out by the Mongols.

Instead, together with the Mongols, they were in a dilemma of life and death in the mountains of the snowy plateau.

Zhao Xingzhen had heard from the minions who had gone to Ningguta that the conditions over there were difficult.

I have also heard the minions who went to Ili say that the land of Saibei is bitter cold.

But now, she just wants to say that there is no more bitter cold place in the world than this snowy plateau.

Along the way, the eunuchs led by Li Lianying and Wang Chengde took turns carrying soft sedan chairs and serving the nobles.

But even if they don't have to walk, the oxygen-deficient environment of the plateau still makes Xingzhen and the others buzz in their brains, and they have no strength in their bodies.

And on this day, the snail forward team had to stop completely.

The decadent Eight Banners Army of the late Qing Dynasty was no longer the thousand-mile marching army of Fukangan.

Stop and go, pretend to be dead, until the whip of the high-ranking Tongliao official with the Ming Zhuka falls, these lazy dogs will continue to move.

Theoretically, the Mongols should have adapted to the plateau more than the old and young remnants of the Manchu and Han dynasties.

After all, the Mongolian plateau is also a plateau.

But the question is, what is the identity of Prince Suo?

As the Khan of Tongliao, he naturally does not live in the harsh conditions of the Gobi Plateau.

Tongliao is not a plateau, and the altitude of the Horqin steppe is not high.

However, these Tongliao people who won the Zhuka are all players of the Tongliao football team who won the World Cup that year, and their physical fitness is very good, although they are also very uncomfortable on the plateau, but for the sake of their wives and children who are far away in Xinhu, they still grit their teeth and insist, and use bayonets and leather whips to urge the old and young to move forward.

Along the way, there are many old and young people who died on both sides of the road.

The carcasses were left unburied and left to be eaten by wild dogs and foxes.

Just like the Southern Song Dynasty in Yashan and the Southern Ming Dynasty in Myanmar, this way, everyone wears filial piety, and every family is mourned.

However, compared with the ending of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty, they must be grateful, whoever is not grateful, who will go down to Xianfeng Tongzhi to be grateful!

Of course, they didn't know that if there was no anomaly like Zhu Fugui, they would have had a much more decent ending, and even a good ending could not be described.

Even after 150 years, their descendants are still proud of their lineage and of what their ancestors are flags on.

But now, none of that exists.

They were driven away from the roots of the Imperial City on which they depended for their survival, and fought against the Grim Reaper on the snowy plateau.

And today, the Grim Reaper seems to want to learn some science.

The legendary founder of the Ming Dynasty's basic discipline construction, the sworn brother of Emperor Zhu Youcai of the Ming Dynasty, and the "assassin" who has been lurking in the deep palace of the Qing court for many years, Dr. Xing Jiuliu, has completed his legendary life today.

He has been using opium for many years and abusing drugs to help him, and he has already emptied his body.

His lungs, in particular, were fragile and weak.

In the extreme climate of the snowy plateau, it simply does not work.

In the end, because of hypoxia and multiple organ failure, Xing Jiuliu shouted "I want to drink honey water" in extreme pain, and then tilted his head, and he was so out of breath that he didn't even close his eyes.

But he's also happy.

At least he died in Xingzhen's arms.
