The Mid-Autumn Festival festival is not only present in the Song Dynasty, but also as the activities of maritime merchants become larger and larger, many people in many cities around Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean will also celebrate this festival with the habits of the Song Dynasty. In essence, this is also a cultural invasion. When the strong side brings language, writing, and living habits, the weak side unconsciously and passively accepts it, the invasion process is basically completed.

But the Jinhe Empire is an exception. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is also considered a legal festival in the Jinhe Empire, this custom was not brought by the maritime merchants, but by the Han people, the second largest ethnic group of the empire. Whether it is the Han people in the northern region or the immigrants of the Song Dynasty, they still maintain their original customs and habits. In addition, the Dan family, who were originally no different from the Han people, if they do not look at the race, living in the local Jinhe Empire, more than half of the customs and habits are actually no different from those in the coastal cities in the southern Song Dynasty.

But this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is different from previous years, because there is an extra event after the festival, a military parade!

On the morning of August 22, the square at the entrance of Jinhecheng Library was crowded with people, wearing festive clothes, and bringing their families to watch the lively Imperial residents. Half a month ago, the Imperial Government issued a notice saying that the Empire would hold a grand military parade after the Mid-Autumn Festival. This was the first time the Imperial Government has held a military parade since its establishment. No one has seen what the military parade looks like, so we must come and see the excitement. Not only the residents of Jinhecheng were curious, but many people also took a boat to watch from Mayi Port and Brunei Port.

"Oh my mother! Da Liu, look, they are all your fellow villagers! I originally thought you were black, but now it seems that you are still fair. Look at them, this is really black!" A series of cannons sounded in the square, and the military parade officially began. The first square formation that walked out of the temporary military camp in the east made the people watching the ceremony dark! That's right, either a typo or a black look. The soldiers in this square formation are all composed of black people. Even in the Jinhe Empire, everyone has accustomed to different skin colors. But it is the first time that there are so many, such a neat black team.

"This is not my fellow villager. Their tribe should be further north of Cape Town." This is a black immigrant explaining to the people around him. On this issue, his speech was more authoritative.

"The first team that came to the east was the Zulu regiment of the Imperial African Legion. They all came from the eastern part of the Cape Town Port. The flag was embroidered with a local seabird, and their military uniforms were also the color of the seabird feathers, cyan; the color of the colorful striped military uniforms was the Bushman regiment from the northern part of the Cape Town Port Port. The flag was embroidered with a local raptor." As the team got closer, some military academy students standing in front of the crowd raised their trumpets and began to introduce the situation of each team to the nearby people. When the team walked to the front of the rostrum, the soldiers would raise their right hands high and salute to the rostrum, and would also be cheered by the onlookers.

"Go and ask your daughter to shout, don't scream badly." The one sitting on the rostrum was the imperial emperor Hong Jinhe, wearing a military dress. On both sides of him were officials of the imperial government and generals of the imperial army, and behind him were members of the Imperial Parliament. At this time, he was waving to the team passing by in front of the rostrum, while whispering to discuss with the Imperial Prime Minister Yi Yi in a low voice. The girl in her teens was the daughter of Yi Yi.

"If she was willing to listen to me, she would not give up on the military academy and insisted on going to war with the troops. Let her make trouble. Sooner or later, the empire will be theirs. It is natural to get their own things." Yi Yi's dead face was full of helplessness. Even though he, the prime minister of the empire, commanded most of Asia and Africa, he was unable to control his children.

"It seems that my father said this?" Hong Jinhe was very sensitive, especially when it came to Hong Tao.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty said a lot back then. I didn't feel anything at that time, but over the years I gradually felt that some of them made sense. Some things, no matter how smart they are, are not understood, because they are not thought out with the brain, but with the body. Take the issue of educating children as an example. I think your Majesty's approach is right. You can't spoil your children too much. You have to let them go out and go through the storm. When your Majesty strongly advocated the military service system of the whole militia, the resistance encountered was quite large. You were not very willing from your grandfather, and I didn't support it.

Now it seems that this is a very wise decision. If even my daughter and your sister go to the battlefield to fight for the country, what reason do other people's children have to avoid military service? The Empire was able to recruit these military sources from overseas territories, all thanks to the military service system of the whole people. This is not only a war, but also an examination of the ability of the imperial government to manage the country." Yi Yi has been the prime minister of the empire for nearly ten years, and has lost his passion and passion when he was young. He is more concerned about the future of the empire, and he is more like the thinking of Hong Tao when he was prime minister. He does not focus on everything, but rather thinks further than others.

"Oh... I'm afraid I can't catch up with his achievements in my life. Even those who were determined to escape from his restraints began to recite. I don't know if he would laugh so hard that he couldn't even find his eyes after hearing your words. By the way, I said I'll ask you to find him back, and whether he found it?" Hong Jinhe didn't know whether he should be dissatisfied with his father, or worship him. After so many years of emperorship, he was not the young man who only considered his own feelings, but when he talked about his father, he was still mixed in his heart.

"Can't find it... Someone in the Supervision Department doesn't want us to find him." Yi Yi shook his head with a wry smile.

"Is it Minister Ci?" Hong Jinhe also narrowed his eyes, but his eyes were much bigger than his father. No matter how hard he narrowed his slit, he could not reach the feeling of Hong Tao's sucking bad water back then.

"Who else... I have seen through these years. The two brothers are the spies left by His Majesty in the empire. I guess he knows everything we do. If he doesn't want people to find him, we will never find him in our lifetime. But that's fine, it means that he is quite satisfied with His Majesty, you and the government I led. If one day he suddenly comes back, then we'll be in trouble." Although Hong Jinhe is Hong Tao's son, Yi Yi and Hong Tao have a deeper understanding.

"Then I can't wait for my father to never come back in my life! My mother's health has become worse and worse over the years. Sometimes she often cried alone alone, and she missed my father. Why do you think he is so cruel and left us, mother and son and never show up for seven or eight years?" Hong Jinhe was not afraid of his own father coming back suddenly. He felt that he had been a good emperor over the years, and the Song Dynasty was about to be included in the empire territory. No one could say that this was not a great achievement. As a son, what he most hoped for at this time was to show off with his equally great father, so that his son was not a fool.

"If my father could also leave me a huge empire, I think there must be a reason for him not to come back. You always regard him as your father, but forget that he was once the emperor of the empire and a founding emperor. I think he still has many ambitions that have not been fulfilled, but for the sake of the stability of the empire, he cannot continue to fulfill his ideals in the empire. You also know that his temper is a very, very willful person. If he stays in the empire, he will be very depressed. As for the issue of the empress dowager, I suggest you go to Minister Ci to talk to him. He will definitely have a way to find His Majesty, or he can help you with words." Yi Yi can understand Hong Tao's difficulties, but in the family affairs within the royal family, although he, as the Prime Minister of the empire, has a good personal relationship with the emperor, and cannot interfere too much.

"I don't like Minister Ci very much. He is far less loyal to me than to my father. Every time I talk about things with him, I always feel that he is fooling children, and even the look he looks at me is such an indescribable feeling." When talking about Ci Qi, Hong Jinhe was very dissatisfied, but the imperial emperor did not have much right to intervene in the issue of government officials' appointments.

"But no one is more suitable for the position of the Supervision Department than Minister Ci. The Supreme Emperor said it was right back then. The Ci brothers were the most loyal to the empire. They contributed all their own to the empire. Although you think he is not loyal to you, if you encounter big trouble, I assume that you may eventually sacrifice your life to protect you and the royal family. Okay, let's not talk about this, let's look at our army. You must have never seen this army!"

Yi Yi was the Minister of Supervision Department, and he knew the importance and particularity of this department better than anyone else. Looking at the entire imperial government, no one dared to say that he could replace Ciqi as the Minister of Supervision Department. Even if there were people who spoke like this, the parliament would not hand over this position to him, because Ciqi was a person who had experienced the special test of life and death. He used his life to prove his respect for the laws of the empire.

"My God... Camel Cavalry!" Hong Jinhe focused his eyes on the square again. At this time, the African Legion had passed, followed by a very strange army. Their whole body was wrapped under a white cloth cloak, with a headscarf on his head, only a pair of eyes exposed. Their mount was even more strange, not a horse but a camel.
