Chapter 59: The Farce of the Opening Ceremony
Chu Yun left quietly, and when Chu Yun returned to his house, Chu Yun immediately fell into thought. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tongzhi in history was a notoriously unlucky ghost, he ascended the throne as emperor at the age of six, reigned for thirteen years, and died at the age of 19. During his reign, there were many peasant uprisings such as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Twist Army, the Miao Min, and the Hui People. has his own mother, the Empress Dowager Cixi, who holds great power, and his own emperor is simply an ornament.
Could it be that Tongzhi wants to learn from his ancestor Kangxi to capture and kill Aobai, and also launch a coup d'état to get rid of his biological mother, the Empress Dowager Cixi?
If this is the case, Tongzhi has undoubtedly failed in history, so if he died at a young age, could it be that he died at the hands of his own mother? You must know that Wu Zetian killed several of his sons for the sake of power, and the Empress Dowager Cixi, who is as famous as her, may also be a member of the six relatives who do not recognize her.
This Prince Duan should be the unlucky devil six in history, no wonder he died depressed in the future, and he used to do this.
And Dong Haichuan, who worked so hard for the flag people just to gain freedom? This is too subversive for Chu Yun.
Chu Yun originally wanted to touch the palace of Prince Duan, but the third day was the day when the world's first martial arts competition was officially held, Chu Yun was notified to go to the Ministry of Rites to collect his clothes and shoes, and then set off for Tianjin together in the afternoon, and would not return to the capital until the top ten.
Chu Yun reluctantly put on the martial arts uniform with "Qing" printed on the back, and then said goodbye to his master Ryazan, his uncle Chen Tiezhi and Chen Zhongming, and sat on the carriage specially prepared for them by the imperial court with Huang Feihong and Chen Gengyun.
When all the warriors left the city under the protection of the army, the streets of the capital were crowded with people, cheering for these warriors, and many warriors were also standing on the carriages, responding to the enthusiastic people, and the scene became more and more lively.
Chu Yun sat in the car and didn't come out, the convoy left the capital in a mighty way, followed by a large number of people preparing to go to Jinmen to see the excitement.
Chu Yun sat in the carriage with the flow, the carriage walked for a few hours and came to a military camp, everyone lived in it, there was an even bigger military camp not far away, Chu Yun felt that it must be the competition venue.
Sure enough, the next day, everyone was taken to the camp not far away, where ten giant rings with a height of 2 meters stood in the field, each of which was more than 20 meters wide. Ten rings occupy an area of several miles, and all sides are full of seats, just like the ancient Roman arena.
Chu Yun and the others were led to a ring in the middle, which was full of seats, but there was no one.
Chu Yun and a hundred other people all stood quietly under the ring and waited, about half an hour later, there was a noise in the distance, everyone looked up, and saw a foreigner walking in with a big sign, quite a bit of a modern Olympic Games, followed by more than a dozen people, each of them was a strong man with muscles exploding, there were whites, blacks and a few natives.
Chu Yun glanced at the sign and saw that it read "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
These people walked not far from Chu Yun's team and stopped, several people in the team kept gesturing towards the Qing Dynasty's team, and raised their arms to intimidate everyone, and soon some people in the Qing Dynasty couldn't stand it, and wanted to teach these foreign devils a lesson, but they were stopped by the sergeants behind.
Slowly, more and more foreign devils gathered, and the French, Spanish, German, Dutch and other European countries that Chu Yun was familiar with appeared, and even the team of Dongying people appeared.
After another half an hour, some Manchu officials in zombie costumes stepped into the ring, and the first one was Prince Duan. After a while, some foreigners dressed in Western aristocratic costumes also walked up to the stage. The auditorium began to fill up slowly.
"Friends from afar, I am Aixinjue Luo Yixin, Prince Duan of the Qing Dynasty, and I am very happy to be able to preside over the world's first martial arts conference on behalf of the emperor today. "Two foreign devils walked out behind Prince Duan.
"Wait, aren't we in the Russian Empire qualified to participate in your tailoring?" a burly, bearded man walked out.
"That is, why haven't we, the Kingdom of Italy, been invited?"
"We, the Austro-Khalinarians, did not agree either. ”
More and more representatives of foreigners expressed their dissatisfaction, and Prince Duan was in a cold sweat on the stage, he didn't know the strength of these countries at all, but asked people to ask the representatives of Britain and France, after all, the Second Opium War was fought with them. Prince Duan asked the British and French representatives for help, but they didn't seem to see it at all, and they didn't say a word, knowing that although the two countries were strong, they couldn't suppress so many countries at all.
"Let's go, let's not compare, wait until we get back to the country and report to the king, so that he can find justice for us. A Dutch representative said forcefully, Chu Yun was a little funny, Holland was no longer the sea coachman at that time, even if he killed you, your king would not be able to do anything.
But Prince Duan didn't know, his head was sweating profusely, but there was no way, and the other officials were also trembling and didn't pay attention. More and more representatives of foreigners are making threats of war. Prince Duan is about to faint, and there is still a little bit of the prince's shelf.
The warriors in the audience also became chaotic, saying that foreigners were bullying people too much, and there was no way to do it. It's really that at this time, there is too little understanding of the world in China.
Although it was very refreshing to watch the Manchu officials eat deflated, Chu Yun didn't want to let the competition have an accident. Chu Yun pushed everyone away and walked over, and Chu Yun jumped up in the ring more than 2 meters high with a slight jump.
"Presumptuous, what are you doing here?" Although a Manchu official had no problem with foreigners, he had the courage to reprimand his own domestic warriors.
"Prince Duan, can I handle it?" Chu Yun didn't pay attention to this person, but just said to Prince Duan.
"Okay, you are the Guangdong hero Chu Yun, you have solved the problem for this king, and this king will give you a heavy reward. Prince Duan seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and immediately nodded and said, if Prince Duan, as the minister of the competition, handled this matter badly, then no matter who came to power, he would have to stand aside.
"Dear foreign friends, you have come to Daqing after all the hardships and dangers at sea, if you go back like this, I think it will be difficult for you to make a difference, so let me make a suggestion?" Chu Yunyun shouted at these foreign representatives with all his strength, although the voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of dozens of foreign representatives, and Chu Yun spoke in English, so everyone understood what Chu Yun meant.
"Well, if your attention can't solve our dispute, I'll go back to China immediately. The representative of the Netherlands said like a-stirring stick, and the representatives of other countries also looked at this rare Qing man who could speak foreign with curiosity.
"Actually, this ribbon-cutting is an activity for us in the Qing Dynasty, just like the Christmas children go out to ask for candy. We, Prince Duan, don't mean to despise all countries, we just want all countries to have a win. There are ten rings here, this one is the representative of Britain and France, but the other few need you Russia, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, the United States, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Denmark and other countries, and our dynasty has no other meaning. After Chu Yun finished speaking, most of the countries stopped talking.
"Then why don't you cut the ribbon of our Russian Empire first?" the bearded Russian representative did not hesitate.
"That's right, the Russian Empire is located in our north, and it is our northern neighbor of the Qing Dynasty, so according to the direction, that one is the symbol of the north. In the north of the Qing Dynasty, it belongs to the Xuanwu Town, which is the divine beast of our Qing Dynasty, on behalf of my Qing Dynasty, I hope that the Russian Empire will be as strong and extraordinary as Xuanwu, and we believe that the north can bring good luck to the Russian Empire, which is also a little respect for the Russian Empire in our Qing Dynasty. If you are not satisfied, then you can replace it. Chu Yun looked at the Russian representative with a smile, and the Russian representative nodded and retreated.
"And where are we in Holland?" the first-stirring stick stood up again.
"Your Netherlands is located in the northwest of Europe, that is the ring that needs your Dutch tailoring, to tell you the truth, I heard that your country has just been defeated by Britain and France, if you provoke Britain and France now, when you return to China, you think about your fate. Chu Yun happened to remember that the Netherlands had fought with Britain and France successively, and the Netherlands was defeated by Britain at sea (Anglo-Dutch War), and on land the Netherlands was defeated by France (Franco-Dutch War), thus declining. Chu Yun's words made the Dutch representative hate and push away, he just wanted to make Britain and France unhappy.
"Do you have any questions?" Chu Yun looked around, and all the delegates did not speak.
"Then I'll report to our prince. Chu Yun said with a smile.
Chu Yun walked to Duan Wangye's side and reported what had just happened to Duan Wangye, Duan Wangye was overjoyed and immediately started to make arrangements. Under the repeated thanks of Duan Wangye, Chu Yun walked back from the ring with a flat expression, just in time to see Jin Feihu with an unkind face.
