Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On April 21, the city of Beijing was filled with seven-star flags. Not only the city of Beijing, but also all places under Qin Ge's jurisdiction across the country were filled with seven-star flags.

    During the Ming Dynasty, in front of Chang'an Street, there were long corridors and verandahs on the left and right, which were called Qianbu Corridor. There was a stone road in the middle, called the Royal Road.  However, ordinary people are not allowed to enter this royal road.  Only the emperor's dragon chariot and phoenix chariot were allowed to pass through the royal road.  Usually when ministers are summoned by the emperor to enter the palace, they can only bypass the imperial road and enter the Chang'an Left Gate or Chang'an Right Gate, pass through Chang'an Street, go up to Jinshui Bridge, enter Chengtian Gate, and then enter the Meridian Gate to reach the imperial palace.  However, this rule was abolished during the Qing Dynasty. However, the one kilometer stretch of Chang'an Street close to the imperial palace has always been very deserted. Ordinary people generally do not dare to pass by here, in case they are labeled as having evil intentions.  That's really a cup of tea.

    But today, the section of street opposite the palace is extremely lively, because the founding emperor will give a speech here today and publicly call on people to come and visit.

    "Hey, I heard that the Great Emperor will declare war with Lao Maozi in the north today."

    "Humph, I was sure at that time. I had been wiping out the Manchu bandits before, so I never paid attention to Lao Maozi. I heard that Fengtian Province has assembled a million troops. As soon as the emperor gives the order, they will launch an attack on Maozi.  The time has come to not only drive Lao Maozi out of Heilongjiang, but also to bring back North Korea."

    "Don't talk about state affairs! Don't talk about state affairs! You guys dare to talk about state affairs in front of the palace gate. Aren't you afraid of beheading?" said an old scholar in long robes with white beard and hair.

    "Hahahahahaha, you old guy, you must be reluctant to go out and buy newspapers. Now that the emperor advocates freedom of speech, aren't the people in the teahouse commenting on state affairs that day?" One person laughed, and the people nearby also listened.  They all laughed.

    "What? Such a thing happened! So the emperor is really a wise king!"

    "This old man looks like a poor scholar at first glance, so don't care about him."

    When the old man heard others saying that he was a poor scholar, his face darkened and he thought to himself: "I am a learned man and cannot be as knowledgeable as these common people." Then he went elsewhere.

    After walking not far, I heard someone talking again.

    "Hey, I heard that the emperor is going back to Hong Kong with the British today!"

    ¡°There¡¯s also Macau!¡±

    "What? Does your Majesty want to go to war with this Englishman?"

    "Hey, there's nothing strange about this. Our Chinese Navy is not the Beiyang Navy that Li Zhongtang had at the time. It was a navy, not a navy!"

    "Speaking of my going to the navy, I saw it when I was in Tianjin. It was night, and I happened to take a boat near the Tianjin port. The sudden sound of huge cannons shocked everyone on the boat.  When I looked outside, I saw that the big warship's cannon fire almost lit up the night. The British captain of the ship I was on was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. So the emperor is not afraid at sea now.  British."

    "But in this case, wouldn't it mean that we would start a war with Russia, Britain and that other thing at the same time?"

    "Hmph! What are you afraid of! As long as the emperor gives the order, even if it is a big knife, I will still kill these red-haired devils without leaving a trace." A stout man said.

    "Hahaha, Pork Yuan, are you envious of the food of my imperial army? I heard that you haven't sold pork for a long time, and the food of the emperor's soldiers includes meat at least once a day. It seems like you  He has lost a lot of weight. Did he spend all his money on Yihongyuan?" People who knew him laughed.

    ¡­¡­

    People on Chang'an Street were talking endlessly in small groups. Suddenly, the sound of cannons sounded "bang bang bang" in the palace. At ten o'clock in the morning, the fireworks and salutes exploded on time.  People raised their heads and looked at the colorful pieces of paper flying in the sky. For a moment, they only thought it was beautiful, but they stopped talking one after another.

    Qin Ge, wearing a Tang suit embroidered with dragons, appeared on the city tower. This made Kang Youwei and Tan Sitong, who were in suits and leather shoes on the tower, slightly embarrassed. The knowledgeable people who were also wearing suits and leather shoes downstairs were also embarrassed: Hey  , if the emperor thinks that we worship foreign things, that would be terrible.

    After the salute, Qin Ge said into the microphone: "All compatriots of the Chinese nation! The decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty has been destroyed! Today, I announce to the world that the Chinese Empire has been officially established!" The voice was amplified through the loudspeaker.  It's far away, but there is some noise.

    "Long live the Emperor!"

    "Long live the Emperor!"

    ¡­¡­

    The common people shouted out involuntarily.

    At this time, several foreign ministers next to the Hubu Yamen slandered in their hearts: "You sister announced it to the world! After all, we are also ministers in Beijing. You didn't even invite us, but you dared to announce it to the world.  !¡± I definitely don¡¯t dare to say this.Yes, if the crazy Chinese people around him understood what he said, he wouldn't be beaten to death. Moreover, he asked to see Qin Ge many times but to no avail. Now he doesn't know what Qin Ge's attitude is.  !

    At Qin Ge's suggestion, the military band began to play the later "March of the Volunteers". When the national anthem was to be composed, Qin Ge immediately thought of the "March of the Volunteers" and found that the "March of the Volunteers" was quite suitable, but the title of the song was changed.  Qin Ge changed it to "Chinese National March", and the lyrics were also slightly modified.

    There was no National Day Square at this time, but Qin Ge still built a flag-raising platform at the location of the later National Day Square flag-raising platform and cut down all the nearby trees.  When the music sounded from the loudspeaker, the soldiers who had been waiting nearby with their seven-star flags held their heads high, walked up to the flag-raising platform with neat steps, and tied the buckle of the flag to the buckle of the rope of the flagpole.  When the flag was unfurled, fluttering in the wind, and rising slowly, Qin Ge immediately saluted the flag, his eyes rising as the flag continued to rise.  Everyone else on the tower also stood at attention and saluted the national flag. When people below the tower and on the street saw the emperor saluting the flag so solemnly, they all turned around and stood at attention, holding their heads high and saluting the slowly rising national flag.  At this moment, no matter whether you are a corrupt scholar or a knowledgeable person, whether you are a rich person or a poor street vendor, whether you are a man, a woman, or a child, there is no distracting thought in your heart at all, and you just watch the national flag rising quietly.  As the national flag is raised, something difficult to express rises in people's hearts, which is faith, self-confidence, and

    The foreigners nearby, including ministers from various countries, were shocked. How could these ignorant Chinese people know how to salute the national flag?  Oh my gosh, someone tell me this isn't true!  If only China's 400 million people could salute their national flag so solemnly!  oh!  Who else can compete with China?

    If there is no accident tomorrow, I will update twice.
