After Shirige Gege got off the train, another girl's smiling face appeared at the door of the carriage - Zhu Youmei came out.
The officials on the platform groaned inwardly and leaned down again, shouting "Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years." Then they all stared at the car door, thinking that there must be more than one princess coming.
Sure enough, after the second sister Zhu Youmei came out, the third sister Zhu Youli and the fourth sister Zhu Younan also came out one after another.
All four sisters of the Zhu family are here.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the carriage behind also opened. Zheng Yutang and Zheng Yucong walked out one after another.
King Zheng Gongyin of Yanping did not come. He was supposed to come, but he is here at almost fifty years old. Coupled with his wide body and fat body, the disease of wealth is getting worse year by year. He had a slight cerebral hemorrhage a few days ago and was admitted to the hospital. Although it was nothing.
It will have serious consequences, but the doctor said that you should not be tired for a long time and take a good rest, otherwise something may happen again.
It took three hundred years for him to go to Beijing to pay homage to his ancestors in the Central Plains. Zheng Gongyin originally did not want to miss this opportunity. However, Zhu Yourong and Zheng Yucong did not allow him to come, fearing that something would happen to him on the way. Therefore, he only asked the prince to represent Yanping.
Wang Sui Sheng came to Beijing.
Following Zheng Yucong came out the following three younger sisters. The three little girls, like Zhu Yourong's three younger sisters, usually study and study in the boudoir. Now they have this opportunity to travel long distances and enjoy the sights of their homeland thousands of miles away.
The whole country was extremely excited. When I got off the train, I relied on the repeated efforts of my facial muscles to not smile so much, and barely maintained the restraint of the royal princess and princess.
Then, in the next few carriages, the main royal relatives of the Zhu and Zheng families, the seven aunts and eight aunts also came out. These Zhu Chongba's grandsons and grandsons will finally be able to return to Beijing after three hundred years.
. Although most of these people were adults, it was obvious that they were as excited as those young people.
…
That night, the vast Summer Palace was brightly lit. On the bank of Kunming Lake, in the mercury lamps and neon lights, the lake waves reflected pavilions, pavilions, strange rocks and weeping willows. Next to tables of royal banquets, important figures from all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty were chatting and laughing.
Reporters from the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, as well as reporters from all over the world, carried special certificates and carried long guns and short cannons. When they encountered a place with good lighting or a big shot worthy of being photographed, they would flash out with a "bang"
Magnesium...
There are very few paparazzi, and none of the tabloid reporters who write irresponsible articles are allowed in, only reporters from major newspapers. There are also several influential leisure and lifestyle magazines, and their "entertainment reporters" are here.
Young. What the entertainment reporters are most interested in is the princesses, princesses, royal ladies, and ladies at the royal banquet.
Even in Nanjing, it is rare for so many royal ladies to gather together. Whenever there is such an occasion, under the spotlight of the paparazzi, their clothing, jewelry, bags, shoes, and hats
, shawls, and hairstyles will all guide the fashion trends of the Ming Dynasty and even the upper class of East Asia in the next six months to one year.
In addition to the big shots from the Ming Dynasty, there are more big shots from the former Qing Dynasty in the Summer Palace. They are either important nobles, such as princes and princes, Beizi Beile, or Qing generals who previously surrendered to the Ming army. Of course, there are also some former Qing dynasties.
Officials. There is a condition for the Manchu "big shots" who can enter the Summer Palace and give banquets together.
, there is basically no big problem. Although the Ming Dynasty does not care about punishing those who have committed heinous crimes and accumulated blood debts, tonight's imperial banquet will undoubtedly send a signal to them. The people who were invited felt a big stone in their hearts.
They drank wine and drank wine to their heart's content. Those who were not invited were uneasy and anxious all day long.
As soon as the Ming army occupied the north, the Ming royal family had a banquet with the former Qing royal family in the same garden. This undoubtedly sent a signal to the whole country and the world. Countless Eight Banners disciples who were preparing to flee with their family property also packed their bags.
Xinruan untied it again and felt relieved.
…
The next day, March 18th.
Today is Zhu Yourong’s birthday, and it is also the traditional “Small National Day” of the Ming Dynasty. It requires a day off. This is also a characteristic of Eastern monarchy countries: there is no National Day like the West, but the birthday of the current monarch is regarded as a National Day. Therefore, every
When each monarch is in power, the "National Day" is different.
After the modern reform of the Ming Dynasty, it also introduced the Western National Day. That is, January 23 was designated as the National Day. On January 23, 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang invaded Beijing, overthrew the Mongolian and Yuan rule, and established the Ming Dynasty. So
After modern times, January 23rd was also called the "Great National Day". Although there was a word "大" in it, the tradition still continued. The emperor's birthday was celebrated lively, but the "Great National Day" was quiet.
.
Now, in addition to being a "Small National Day", March 18 will be given a new identity - Liberation Day. From now on, even if Zhu Yourong is no longer in office, March 18, the Liberation Day, will continue to be celebrated.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the Ming army's entry into the city began.
The Anding Gate slowly opened, and the military band played loud music and walked in the front. Immediately behind was the Taihang Mountain column formation. These men from Hebei and Shanxi wore brand-new and straight Ming army uniforms, and their war-torn faces were almost distorted with excitement.
Many people burst into tears
They came down underground. Although none of them had received much formal military training, and no one stepped on the drums closest to the military band, they held their heads high at the moment, and the flag bearer at the front held high the military flag of the Taihang Mountain Column, proudly
Like a victorious ancient Roman legion.
As soon as the city gate opened and the military band appeared, the people at the city gate cheered. Soon, the cheers spread to the inside of the city, and people everywhere cheered. These people were suppressed.
It's been a long time, I haven't cheered so sincerely for a long time.
The Taihang Mountain column was the square formation with the largest number of people, and it took a while to finish.
Then there are several phalanxes of the Ming Dynasty Army. They are the meritorious troops in the Nanjing Defense War - the Capital Garrison Army Formation, the People's Guard Infantry Phalanx, and the Army Phalanx that participated in the Defense War and Pukou Counterattack.
Then, there are the Yangtze River Defense Line Fortress Division troops. Although they are purely defensive troops and have not made any big splash, they have played an irreplaceable role as the "Great Wall" of the Ming Empire for many years.
Next, the people in Beijing stared wide-eyed: This...this is actually a group of female soldiers!
Yangtze River Fleet submarine force phalanx. Since the Ming Dynasty established its submarine force in the early 20th century, these female soldiers have become the only all-female combat force in the Ming army. Especially the Yangtze River Fleet submarine force, they are doing the most dangerous jobs.
Over the years, more people have been sunk by the Qing army and killed in mines than the entire navy. In addition, the story of the "Grasshopper" has spread throughout the country, and the submarine force of the Yangtze River Fleet has become synonymous with "heroines"
.
Next, there are the navy's four fleet phalanxes, the army's phalanx, and the navy's phalanx... When the army's and navy's phalanx entered the city, the fleet of aircraft over Beijing also roared past for inspection. The ace fighter pilots performed stunts,
Like an old fried dough stick, it attracts people's attention from the ground to the sky.
After the infantry phalanx has basically entered the city, it is followed by the mechanized troop phalanx. The first is the tank phalanx of the People's Guard Armored Division, the armored vehicle phalanx, and the self-propelled artillery phalanx. Then, there are the military trucks and off-road vehicles of the Army Motorized Infantry Division.
Motorcycle phalanx.
As soon as these rumbling giants entered the city, the people in Beijing became excited and cheered loudly.
The commanders were exposed on the turret, with their hands on both sides of the turret, heads held high, like ancient heavily armored knights. The soldiers on the armored personnel carriers and military trucks were much more casual, and they cheered excitedly to both sides of the street and held their hands, as if
It was as if the No. 1 Scholar was returning to his hometown in fine clothes on a tall horse. Cigarettes, fruits, red dates, peanuts and other things fell into the car like raindrops.
…
The entry into the city reached its climax. A palace brass band appeared on both sides of the city gate. After a burst of grand music, twelve sidecar motorcycles neatly drove into the city gate, followed by five Yuhuacong luxury cars.
.In the middle car, the largest and most beautiful one, sat Zhu Yourong.
As soon as Zhu Yourong appeared, the whole city of Beijing was boiling.
The people on both sides almost knelt down and burst into tears. Shouts such as "Long live", "Great benefactor" and "Great savior" kept erupting.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was on the city tower, watching the people kneeling down with snot and tears. He heard the loud shouts all over the city. He listened carefully for a long time before he could figure out what they were about.
He shook his head and said to Zhao Cunnian beside him:
"Sigh... You heard it, they have never stood up mentally. Now for them, it is nothing more than a new master. It is just a good master. The dictator is gone, but the soil remains the same.
With just one thought, the new liberator can immediately become the new dictator. And it is easy and will not encounter any resistance. In the eyes of these kneeling people, the reason why the officials in the Qing Dynasty are bad is because they are all bad people.
The reason why Ming Dynasty’s officials are so good is because
They are all good people, it's as simple as that. Is our officer born good? That's bullshit, he's not always good with one leg between his legs. Our officer is good because he has no chance. If you have a chance, give it a try, absolutely
More ruthless than the officials in Beiqing. Damn it, how am I? I can only be so good, right? During this time in Beijing, the boss is the boss and I am the second boss, and I’m going to be bad at it... If you put me in this position again
No one is in charge of Beijing, and within two years I will be the second in Guangwu."
Zhao Cunnian pushed up his glasses and sighed:
"Yes! Now we are going to establish dictatorship in the north. It's just a matter of words. The people still support it. You just need to tell them that you will be a good emperor. Then kill a group of corrupt officials and appoint a group of new officials.
The people will be grateful to you and risk their lives to support you. Then you can ride on their heads as much as you want. After two generations, they will discover this new court.
It's as bad as the old court, or even worse... But by then it's too late. And they still don't understand why... Alas, it's much more difficult to implement constitutional government. What are checks and balances, what is decentralization... They are so complicated
On the contrary, they don’t understand and don’t like it. They don’t recognize the system, but recognize the people. They seem to believe that the person who saved them is a good person, rather than the system that prevents the good person from becoming a bad person.”
Nodding to Xiaoqiang, he thought so. He sneered:
"Ordinary people... just like neat and tidy people. If you go to power and kill a bunch of corrupt officials, they will be happy. As long as they think you are the great savior, they will be eager to give you the key to their own home."
Door keys, passbook account numbers, cash box passwords, which room the eldest wife and the younger wife sleep in, and the day of her menstrual cycle, I'll tell you everything."
Zhao Cunnian held back his laughter and said with a smile:
"And then he will expect you to be like a saint and not touch his property and his wife."
"That's right!"
Xiang Xiaoqiang laughed. The two of them laughed together.
"Alas!" Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed, "It's fortunate that our Majesty is such a person. Otherwise, the people in the north would be so early!"
