The Wuwei Army, together with the main force of the Huaiyang Army, was 200,000 or 300,000 people, and they were trained in the area from Hezhou to Yangzhou along the Yangtze River, and the momentum was extremely huge.

Lin Jianyue decided to go to Yangzhou first, and it was not in a hurry to go to Jianning to accept everyone's worship, and it was more important to arrange the preparations for the Northern Expedition of the Fifth Route Army.

On the Yangtze River, Qu Shangqun's special boat for Lin Jianyue quickly advanced in the direction of Yangzhou, accompanied by countless cavalry foot soldiers on both sides of the river.

Liu Bingyun, Li Ziyang, Liu Jiahao, Wu Yi, and other major military and political officials were all by Lin Jianyue's side, and they had important things to say to Lin Jianyue today.

"Your Highness, we have been using the banner of the Ning Dynasty before, and now we are going to cross the river, it seems that something is wrong, we have prepared a few styles, but the new banner needs to be decided by His Highness himself."

Liu Bingyun actually asked about the country name, which he had asked before, but Lin Jianyue never thought about it.

"What advice does Mr. Liu have?"

"The sun and moon are in the sky, symbolizing the heavens, and it is the official worship of all dynasties. After discussing for a long time, I feel that His Royal Highness adheres to the mandate of heaven and should be in conjunction with the sun and the moon, which can be called the Great Ming! ”

As soon as the words fell, the sky suddenly changed, and suddenly dark clouds covered under the clear sky, and the thunder seemed to roar above the nine heavens.

Liu Bingyun was a little frightened, could it be that this country name is not in line with the will of heaven? can only keep chattering, silent, strange and confused.

The wind on the Yangtze River suddenly rose, and the boat under his feet made a creaking sound, Lin Jianyue stood at the bow of the boat and didn't care, because his mind was also in chaos, since Liu Bingyun's words came out, there was an abnormality in his mind, and many dream scenes that he couldn't remember kept appearing one by one.

It turns out that the other life in my dream is so unproductive, and all I think about one day is how to pat the leader's ass, how to be lazy, how much to eat tomorrow, whether the money to pay off the mortgage is enough, and other trivial matters.

Fortunately, he also studied in college, and he still vaguely knew some history, Lin Jianyue was like a bystander to exclude those irrelevant scenes, and he didn't know anything about important things such as how to make guns and cement, or he didn't know why he knew it, and he couldn't even remember a few poems that had been passed down through the ages, he was really a useless person, but the historical impression of the Ming Dynasty was still useful.

More than 100 years later, the famous Ming Taizu also completed the great cause of expelling the Tartars and established a glorious dynasty that lasted for more than 200 years, and then fell into the hands of foreigners, which is really impressive.

Since Lin Jianyue knows, he will never choose the name of Ming again, and he is confident that he will not let the land of the Han people fall into the hands of foreigners from now on, and he will let the clansmen who always suffer from himself to stand on top of the world.

The downpour had arrived, Lin Jianyue was still standing on the bow of the boat, Liu Bingyun and the others looked at the gloomy and oppressive sky with some trepidation, and peeked at Lin Jianyue for a while.

Lin Jianyue didn't speak or move, and they wouldn't and didn't dare to move.

"Mr. Liu, it seems that the one on the country name you discussed is not very satisfied! Look at the stormy ones. But what does it matter? Don't be afraid to worry or anything, to this day, the fate of our Han people is in our own hands, we must have confidence in ourselves, no one can stop our will, whether it is Li Chongshan or the so-called heaven. ”

After a long while, Liu Bingyun felt a little unstable, and Lin Jianyue, who was in the wind and rain, turned his head and said with a smile to everyone.

"It doesn't matter what the flag is, what matters is how we think and do it. It's not easy to talk in the wind and rain, so the princes follow me into the cabin to change clothes and drink, but I also have some ideas, let's talk about it today. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Jianyue didn't mean to blame.

After quickly changing clothes, Lin Jianyue drank a bowl of ginger soup, and supervised everyone to drink it before saying: "All the princes are well-educated people, you should know when we Han people started calling ourselves Han people, right?" ”

Liu Bingyun immediately replied: "It should be after Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, established the Han Dynasty." ”

"And before that?"

"After the Shang Dynasty of the Zhou Dynasty, although the Ji Dynasty was the co-lord of the world at that time, but there were many princes who were dissatisfied or dissatisfied, in order to stabilize the rule of the new Zhou Dynasty, they put forward the theory of Huayi, all claiming to be of Chinese ethnicity, "Spring and Autumn", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Ji", "Shangshu" and so on are recorded, and Confucius Sage also wrote an article specifically for this, and most of the readers know it."

Lin Jianyue took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is right, this is also the source of the great unification of the empire that we have been following for thousands of years. I have read a lot of books during this period of time, and found that the distinction between Huayi in the pre-Qin period mainly lies in etiquette, for example, the state of Chu in the Warring States period called itself a barbarian, and after learning Chinese etiquette and the Central Plains alliance, he entered the circle of the Chinese nation. Dinggong Ten Years" said: "China has a great etiquette, so it is called Xia, there is the beauty of the uniform, so it is called Hua", but since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the core of our Central Plains has always been invaded by foreign races, and it is very important to distinguish Huayi by blood, and this division can be said to save our Han nation to a certain extent, so now they call themselves Han people. ”

Hua Yi's distinction will not be so simple, but the general direction is not wrong, and everyone nodded.

Talking about the origin of history is not what Lin Jianyue wants to say, and the next thing is the point.

"Our ancestors put forward the distinction of Huayi, the so-called non-my race, their hearts must be different, the purpose is to defend Huaxia, prevent barbarians, and maintain our unified pattern, but now, I don't think it's necessarily right, how big is our territory in the Xia Shang Zhou, how many people? Up to now, it has expanded more than ten times, and in this process, many non-Chinese foreigners have been integrated, and they also regard themselves as Chinese people, and our culture has played a vital role in this. ”

"In the future, I think Huayi should be distinguished by whether or not we agree with our culture, which naturally includes clothing, language, and writing. However, foreigners will not take the initiative to agree, so what should we do? Only by putting a knife and gun on their necks is forced, and then showing our superiority, if we agree, we will have a good life, and if we don't agree, then we will only disappear. ”

Everyone was silent, is this still the gentle and benevolent His Royal Highness King Yan? His arguments are somewhat contrary to the high moral model that has been developed for countless years.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Lin Jianyue said with a smile: "Our Han people are always constantly being invaded by foreign tribes, why? Because they don't agree with our culture and want to live like ours, then they can only fight and rob. Although I, Lin Jianyue, am only a bandit, my ambition cannot be smaller than that of my predecessors, that is, for our Chinese nation, our Han people to lay down a world without Huayi forever, everyone is a Chinese Han Chinese, no matter how to fight, it is just a change of dynasty, and there is no worry about dying in the world. ”

There was a strange brilliance in everyone's eyes, and no one said that Huayi was actually the most important thing to them, and the endless benefits were in the future they were looking forward to.

"Now it can be said that our Han land is the richest, the most superior, the most central place in the world, the most fundamental place in the world, the establishment of a new dynasty in the future, when the world, but also do not forget the roots, need to have Hua, can be called China, the Chinese Empire, I like this name!"

The dark clouds dispersed, the rain broke and the sun shone into the cabin and on Lin Jianyue's body, looking so tall, majestic and sacred, everyone involuntarily knelt down, long live the mountain.
