Chapter 861: Abdul Crying Coffin

Facts have proved that Wilhelm II is indeed a person who likes to rejoice in great achievements and pays attention to pomp and circumstance, as Zhu Fugui knows.

He was extremely attentive in his reception of foreign missions.

The hotel in Berlin is full of wine and meat, and the well-dressed musicians play the piano music of Beethoven, Schubert and Bach 24 hours a day.

In short, it looks like a big empire is thriving.

But in Abdul's view, this is nothing more than a lack of exquisiteness in the midst of the extravagance.

The so-called wine and meat are just pretending, and if you really want to drink well, you have to carry wine from the cellar of a cruise ship or an embassy.

The Duguo, who had been detained and searched, could not provide enough fermented barley juice, let alone the superior fermented juice of Eugénie.

The rooms where the Ming mission lived were the highest-end.

Wilhelm II did not make a mistake in this, or he did not participate at all.

After moving in, Bismarck came several times, and it was needless to say that Wilhelm II did not show up for several days.

On July 14, 1877, the number 13, which is taboo in Christianity, was avoided, and the state funeral of William I officially began.

The ceremony is divided into two parts, a church ceremony during the day and a burial at night.

Amid solemn music, the coffin containing the remains of Wilhelm I was transported by a Mercedes Benz car and slowly drove towards the Royal Chapel of Hohenzolen.

Carl Friedrich Benz is not yet thirty years old.

However, thanks to the vigorous development of the Daming automobile industry, he successfully crossed the river with Mingsan cars two years ago and produced his own cars.

In order to show the advanced craftsmanship of the country to the world and break the stereotype of counterfeit and shoddy products, Wilhelm II deliberately used Mercedes-Benz cars in this funeral.

It's just that the little youth is the little youth in the end.

If old Churchill and Victoria had done this, they would have skillfully adopted "Made in UK", but except for the body, the car from Daming was intact.

However, Wilhelm II, a young man who was not deeply involved in the world, honestly used the Mercedes-Benz cars completely produced by the Mercedes-Benz factory, and pursued 100% independent production.

Of course, many of these key components are actually from Daming, but in any case, this Mercedes-Benz four-stroke engine car can indeed be called a unique country.

Along the way, the engine roared and the exhaust pipe emitted choking smoke, making it impossible to help but sweat for the coffin of Wilhelm I.

No matter how you look at it, under the smoke and fire, His Majesty the Emperor is not peaceful.

The convoy transporting the coffin was very slow, and the Daming condolence mission, together with the delegations of various countries, slowly followed behind the convoy, and the Red Flag 5 series sedan somewhat stole the limelight of the funeral car.

This can't be blamed on the Ming side, In fact, Abdul originally wanted to drive Brother William in person, so he also took a driver's license in Fengdu.

But William's nephew didn't appreciate it.

He rejected Abdul's offer on the grounds that pagans could not attend the funeral of a Protestant Lutheran.

Had it not been for the persuasion of Bismarck and others, Wilhelm I would not have even agreed to the presence of the Greens in the Royal Chapel of Hohenzolen.

Naturally, Abdul was very angry about this.

But after all, it's the funeral of the old brother, and he can't worry about a junior.

I can only sullenly drink in the spacious Chiqi 5 Series sedan.

Abdul felt that the only benefit of the independence funeral was that alcohol was allowed.

It is an ancient custom of the Rhine region that has been handed down since the Middle Ages.

It is believed that the holy wine awakens the spirits of the deceased, dispels the spirits that surround the deceased, and brings peace to the deceased.

Abdul thought it was a good doctrine, but unfortunately he was no longer a Great Caliph, otherwise he would not have had to carry out a religious reform.

The convoy arrived at the Royal Chapel of Hoenzolun without any danger.

This is the predecessor of Berlin Cathedral, a baroque cathedral that has been around for more than 400 years.

Wilhelm II was not satisfied with the dilapidated church and wanted it to be rebuilt in the Renaissance style and greatly expanded.

This is because, since the Russian "reconquest" of Constantinople, the Aya Sophia Mosque was restored as the Hagia Sophia.

In this way, the Catholic Church owns St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and the Orthodox Church owns Hagia Sophia in Constantinople.

And the remaining Protestants of the three Christian brothers did not have a cathedral that could be handled.

Wilhelm II wanted Berlin to become the center of Protestantism, with its own iconic cathedral.

It's a pity that with the current state of the treasury, Wilhelm II's thoughts can only be thoughts.

In this unsatisfactory church, the priest performed the final rites for William I.

As his grandson, Wilhelm II personally lit the baptismal candle, the communion candle, and the holy light candle, and lit a large red candle and placed it next to his grandfather.

It is said that the candlelight will bless the spirits of the dead and illuminate the way to heaven for them.

After that, the venerable old priest began to wash the body of William I with holy water.

Fumigated by the exhaust fumigation of Mercedes-Benz cars all the way, the old emperor has changed from the European emperor to a non-chieftain, and he has to wash it well.

To be honest, Central Europe is already a bit hot in July.

Wilhelm I was shot dead in Vienna and transported back to Berlin, where it has been delayed for various reasons, and even if the ice is kept fresh, it still stinks a little.

However, the old priest was very dedicated, and wiped the body of William I without frowning.

This so-called holy water is believed to purify the body, mind and soul, and also to ward off evil spirits.

When a man comes into the world to be baptized, he leaves the world to wash his body and wash away all the sins of the world.

Of course, the Sole Will did not consider the great Wilhelm the Great guilty of any sin.

His life was splendid and splendid, and there was no stain on him except for his misfortune with two pagans.

The choir children began to sing hymns and hymns, and the band played mournful music.

The old priest led the group in prayer and read the exploits of His Majesty the Great Emperor.

At the same time, relatives and friends stepped forward in turn to see the deceased for the last time.

Abdul was already a little drunk by this time, but not so drunk.

He wore linen and filial piety, took the gift prepared by Zhu Fugui, and lined up with other guests to come to the old brother's coffin.

Looking at the voice and smile of the old brother in the coffin, Abdul remembered that eight years ago, the three emperors stood side by side, plotting the world and dividing the world, how heroic and beautiful it was......

He couldn't help but feel sad and cried out.

When the guests heard this, they said, "Good guy, who is this bearded man?" Why do you cry louder than the little emperor of the independent country?

Wilhelm II also collapsed.

Although there is no such thing as crying at the funeral in the independent country, just as the funeral customs such as wearing black in the West in later generations have profoundly influenced China, Japan and South Korea, this time and space, with the cultural invasion of Europe by the Ming Dynasty, many Ming customs have also affected Europe.

Otherwise, everyone was dressed in a black suit, and Abdul, as the representative of the Ming Kingdom, was wearing a plain white linen clothes, and he would have been blasted out a long time ago.

In addition to this, there are many details that are slowly changing.

For example, at a funeral, wearing a Sima face and pretending to be deep is Western-style hypocrisy.

Howling and crying, with the aunt's clapping - the art of stomping and reincarnation is constantly circulating, this is the real true temperament.

Now that Abdul is crying like this, Wilhelm II is quite embarrassed.

He had no choice but to hold on to his grandfather's coffin and howl desperately.

Wilhelm II swore that his parents had never cried so loudly when they returned to heaven on the same day.

He had done everything he could, and his vocal cords seemed to be torn, but his voice was still crushed by Abdul mercilessly.

Wilhelm II even doubted that this fat bearded boy, if castrated, would definitely become a world-class tenor.

Abdul wept as he took out the offering.

First of all, a beautiful posthumous portrait.

The remains restored in 4K HD, combined with the coloring of the underworld, suddenly suppressed this group of European turtles who had never seen the world.

In these years, there are no color photos, so naturally there is no such thing as black and white portraits.

Of course, Zhu Fugui did not prepare a red and green posthumous photo for Brother William, but added a little color, similar to the restoration photos of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

To put it simply, Brother William's face is somewhat zombie green.

But it doesn't matter.

This is the first time that color photography technology has appeared in front of the world, and although the color is distorted, it is still amazing.

Even Wilhelm II, who was crying, couldn't help but peek at his grandfather's portrait through the cracks in his sleeves.

Excellent......

I want to ......

I'm going to have a whole one when I die!

Abdul hasn't stopped yet.

As if by magic, he took out a few cans of food from his bosom, a jug of good wine.

When you open canned pork knuckles, canned abalone with children's urine, the fragrance wafts through the church.

Abdul pulled out a piece of paper and stumbled over:

"Huh William, unfortunately died! Wouldn't people hurt if they were shortened? My heart hurts, and I drink a lot; You have a spirit, enjoy my ......"

Abdul wept and read as he poured wine into his throat.

Finally, before he could put the spout of the jug into the mouth of Brother William's mouth, he was dragged away by the guards.
