    Chapter 509: The Founding Ceremony (First Update)

    It was the fifth day of September in the year 1851. On this morning, the whole of Taipei was crowded with people.  In the Central Square of Taiwan, more than 100,000 people who had made great contributions to the Chinese Empire gathered from all over the Chinese Empire. They were all eagerly awaiting the start of the founding ceremony.  []

    Representatives from various countries were also arranged to the temporary viewing platform early.  Their expressions were different, and those small countries were amazed by the magnificence of the scene.  Taipei Central Square, which covers an area of ??36 hectares, is crowded with people at this time.

    To the north of the central square stands the Imperial Palace of China, which was expanded from the original Governor's Palace. Although its area cannot be compared with the Imperial Palace in Beijing or even with the Imperial Palace in Nanjing, it is dominated by the elegance of the East and softens the majesty and solemnity of the West.  The Imperial Palace of China in Taipei is in no way inferior to any palace in Beijing in terms of architectural level.

    Next to the palace is the huge military government office building complex. Although it is not as tall and luxurious as the Taipei Imperial Palace of the Chinese Empire, its huge area of ??nearly ten hectares makes it the largest in Taipei.  building.

    These two supreme political and military centers of the Chinese Empire, which govern more than 12.5 million square kilometers of territory and have a population of nearly 40 million, determine the political and military direction of the entire world in a certain sense.  Even if the sound coming from here is tens of thousands of miles away, Europe cannot but pay enough attention to it.

    Although Shi Kefa laughed at the size of the imperial palace in Taipei, he was actually very unhappy in his heart.

    An emperor who is not even willing to waste money and people to build a palace is good news for any country, but for the Ming Dynasty of the Chinese Empire, this is extremely bad news.

    At eight o'clock in the morning, Xiao Mingqian led all the senior officials of the military government and the United Guards and slowly walked from South Street of the central square to the center of the square.  On the high central platform, Xiao Mingqian officially raised the national flag that represents the Chinese Empire in this time and space, and the five-star red flag slowly rose.  The establishment of the Chinese Empire was officially declared.

    Looking at the five-star red flag flying high, Xiao Mingqian was filled with excitement.  It was precisely because of a fetter in his heart that he took the five-star red flag, which he had looked up to for more than 20 years in his previous life and had deep feelings for, as the national flag of the country he founded.

    In his heart, no matter where he is, Xiao Ming is an ordinary Chinese and should love his motherland with his own passion.

    After watching the flag representing the Chinese Empire being raised, the people in the square became excited with understanding. Artistic groups selected from various places sang and danced to celebrate the founding of the Chinese Empire.

    After the flag-raising ceremony was completed, Xiao Mingqian and all the officials came to the protruding high platform of the military government building, waiting for the next step of the founding ceremony, the military parade!

    At 8:30 in the morning, the military parade officially began. The first to appear were 20,000 infantry troops. They walked in front of the military government building with neat steps and shouted slogans like a landslide and tsunami.

    These infantrymen are elites selected from various field divisions and elite garrison divisions. They are all warriors who have fought on the battlefield. Therefore, when they walked through the square, everyone in the square felt a murderous aura.  Coming at you.

    ?Those people from other countries who understand military affairs can see that these 20,000 people are definitely the most powerful army in the world. They all estimate in their hearts how many troops their country will need to defeat these 20,000 people.

    But the final result made them very depressed. The Chinese Empire's battles in all directions made them know how powerful the rifles in the hands of those soldiers were.  With only 20,000 people, for those small countries, even if they use the strength of the whole country, they are no match.

    Among them, the one who felt the deepest was the representative of the Ming Dynasty. Although Shi Kefa was a literati, he had a very deep understanding of the combat power of the Chinese Empire's army.  It was this kind of army that forcibly captured the Ming army with 80,000 people, which was four times their size.

    After the infantry came the cavalry phalanx. Six thousand cavalry were arranged in a row of ten, slowly walking past the military government.  Their mounts were all white horses, coupled with their black military uniforms and shining sabers, they looked like a torrent of black and white, making people shudder in their hearts.

    These cavalrymen had never appeared before the Chinese Empire entered Liaodong, but they made great contributions on the battlefields of Liaodong and Korea.  The rapid raids, the pursuit and interception, killed or drove away hundreds of thousands of Mongolian, Houjin, Korean, and even Ming armies, and made great contributions to quickly ending the war in Liaodong and Korean battlefields.

    After the cavalry phalanx?The biggest contributor to the Chinese Empire's development from a small island to the current Chinese Empire is the navy.  So far, they are still Taiwan's most powerful military deterrent.  Their strength is recognized by the entire world.

    So far, the entire world has admitted that no country's naval power can compete with the navy of the Chinese Empire alone, not even the most powerful Spanish Armada in Europe.

    Although the strategic center of the Chinese Empire has temporarily shifted from the ocean to the mainland, their power is always expanding in other parts of the world.

    Nanyang is their inner lake, and Australia is under their absolute control.  Guarding Malacca, it completely blocked the military power of other countries in the world from Nanyang.  At the same time, they are also actively expanding towards the Indian Ocean, and have now initially established supply points in Arab countries and East African countries.

    Once the matter on land is resolved, these supply points will inevitably become the support points for the expansion of the Chinese Imperial Navy to the world.

    Within an hour, the three major military branches of the Chinese Empire completed their display and showed their heroic appearance to the world.  The many envoys from other countries on the temporary viewing platform were extremely shocked, and some of them felt trembling.

    Because the majesty of the Chinese Empire¡¯s army made them completely lose confidence in their country¡¯s armies, which were no different from farmers.  Even Shi Kefa felt that after returning, he must persuade Emperor Chongzhen to reorganize the Ming army.

    Fortunately, there are not so many branches of the military in this era, so the military parade passed quickly.  After the military parade, Xiao Mingqian led many high-level officials in Taiwan to leave the military government building and headed to the palace.  There the emperor's coronation ceremony will be held at ten o'clock sharp.
