Volume VIII 1089 Sleepless Nights

Next chapter

An era is over, what era did Xiao Lotian end, and what kind of new era did he create, in the hearts of the people at that time, the concept was completely vague.

On that day, hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Naha Castle all felt the strangeness of this New Year's banquet, and at first people thought that this was a celebration banquet held by the prime minister, but as time passed, they suddenly felt that the prime minister's mansion had become a mysterious area, and it was constantly exuding a strange aura outward.

At five o'clock in the morning, the houses near the Prime Minister's Mansion had been emptied, and a large number of snipers lurked on the upper floors of the houses, and the soldiers patrolling the intersection did not have a moment to rest.

In the farther blocks, tens of thousands of red armbands poured out of their nests, combing through the chaotic Naha neighborhood over and over again, all the gambling houses, green buildings, and underground smoke houses were all temporarily closed, and even restaurants and tea shops were sent by red armbands to permanent staff.

Looking at the port again, those cargo ships that did not have time to enter the port yesterday can only be helplessly anchored in the open sea, and the merchant ships in the port are forbidden to set sail even if the time is urgent.

Flying in the sky is a falcon provided by the Oroqen people, and it is absolutely forbidden to release pigeons in these days, and in the major telegraph rooms, the police are on hold 24 hours a day, and no one is allowed to send a telegram without a warrant from the Prime Minister's Office.

Looking at the sea, those battleships of the Ryukyus poured out of their nests and patrolled back and forth around the island, and insiders knew that these warships had already brought enough ammunition base to double the usual day, and they were prepared for actual combat.

The people of the Ryukyus have definitely seen the world, and they knew that there was definitely a big drama in the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as they saw it, and everyone said mysteriously when they met, "Brothers, drink less today, maybe there will be new news in the middle of the night, and I will definitely not rub sand in my eyes......"

"That's it, there are children playing with firecrackers on the side of Nancheng Iron Street, and they have been warned by the red armbands, not to mention that the New Year is coming soon, there is definitely a big event!"

The whole city fell into an inexplicable sense of anxiety, although taverns, tea shops, and opera gardens are still open, and the main commercial streets are still selling New Year's goods, but people can't tell the mess in their hearts, and this year is not at all steady.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the guests of the Prime Minister's Mansion had already arrived, but after that, the gate was closed and no news was transmitted, and no celebratory music was heard from the Prime Minister's Mansion until noon, afternoon, and evening.

Originally, the fireworks show every year, the people did not wait, the men sat around the tavern, playing half a catty of rice wine and eating side dishes to pass the time, and after chatting a few words, they set their eyes in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In every house, the children waiting for the fireworks show were crying urgently, and they asked their mothers why the prime minister didn't order the fireworks, and the annoyed mother gave two slaps on the buttocks, forcing the children to wash and sleep.

Until eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, people did not wait for the ugly man to come out, and the drunken men returned home and fell asleep, and the whole city gradually fell into tranquility.

Only the soldier standing guard like a sculpture in the street proves that the entire city is still under high martial law.

In a private house closest to the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is a small three-story building, which was originally the show building of a silk merchant's lady, but because of the very important location, it was temporarily requisitioned by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the sniper Ma Hui hid behind the window with a full set of equipment, and the scope monitored the block he was in charge of.

It was late at night, and his deputy, the observer, brought him a freshly made supper, a tinplate lunch box wrapped in cotton, braised fluffy potatoes and roast beef, and a solid squeezed Siamese fragrant rice underneath.

opened the lunch box and the fragrant rice went straight to his nose, Ma Hui dug a big mouthful with a spoon and swallowed it beautifully, and the fragrance almost swallowed his tongue.

"The craftsmanship of the three fat people, you kid just have a heart, it's really hard for you to run so far away!"

The deputy observer smiled and said, "It's okay, master, didn't you say it, the fat man of Sanlianma is a Muslim like you, and the meat he bought was bought through special channels, and it was all recited by the imam, and you can eat this meat comfortably......"

Ma Hui knew that the deputy was kind, and the brothers were not polite to each other, and the iron spoon dug into the beef and rice in three or two bites and swallowed it in his stomach.

"Brother Ma, what do you say is going on in the Prime Minister's Mansion? It's twelve o'clock, why haven't you watched the door yet? There's no movement at all, and it doesn't look like a celebration banquet!"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask! We are soldiers, and it is our duty to obey orders! Don't tell others this in the future, and be careful to let the gendarmes target you......"

The deputy stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak, picked up the telescope and continued his mission, when the horse looked back at his pocket watch and found that the hour hand had pointed to one o'clock in the morning.

At this moment, the deputy suddenly whispered: "Sir, look! the door is open! The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion is open...... It's the Prime Minister's Guard!And Chief Ye Qiu......"

Ma Hui snatched the binoculars and took a closer look, but it was Ye Qiu who rushed out with the Prime Minister's Guards, and at the same time a group of attendants from the Prime Minister's Mansion rushed out, and they began to hang brand new red lanterns on the outer wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Originally, the lanterns on the street outside the Prime Minister's Mansion were very dense, but I didn't expect that at this moment, the Prime Minister's Mansion took out a double number of red lanterns and hung them out, and this time the festive atmosphere suddenly became stronger.

"Sure enough, the door is open, there is something good! The Prime Minister's Mansion has something good to announce...... Look, the Prime Minister's Guard has begun to put up notices on the bulletin boards at all intersections!"

At one o'clock in the morning of the 29th day of the lunar month, the Chinese code was finally promulgated in the Ryukyus, and the whole city woke up from its slumber almost instantly.

The first to know the news were the policemen and the red armbands who had changed their guards in three shifts, and they looked at the prime minister's guards in dresses one by one, holding thick paper rolls and carrying large paste buckets at every street entrance.

A brush dipped in paste was applied to the board, and a huge announcement was pasted on it.

"Folks, hurry up and take a look! Then notify the neighbors to go! The prime minister has issued a Chinese code, and from now on we will all be Chinese......

"What, what's a Chinese?" the people asked, puzzled.

But the soldier of the Prime Minister's Guard had time to explain, "I don't have time to say it, it's all vernacular, you can understand it at a glance, I have to go to the next street corner......"

The busy guards rushed forward, leaving only the citizens next to the torches and lanterns staring at the bulletin board in amazement.

"Founding of the Chinese ...... Six lords and eighteen ...... Abolish the Emperor's honorific title...... Abolish the division of the four peoples of Shinong, industry and commerce, and implement the three-people's system...... Oh my God, this, this, what is this......"

"No, I have to tell my family!" mobile phone users asked wènhttp://mnet
