Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Sun Never Sets on the Empire
The army entered the city in triumph, and Wu Wanying, Ding Gaotian and Mantou all walked proudly in the army, waving to the people in the city. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Wanying held her head high, looking calm, and Ding Gaotian, who was almost crazy with surprise, laughed a few times: "Old Ding, what's the matter, you have been a soldier for so many years, and you still look like a raw melon and egg?" â
"Wan Ying! Don't laugh at me, if you're like me, you haven't been looked at by others for decades, and now everyone says we're heroes, how can you not jump with joy? Listen, just now Long Live Lord opened his mouth, let's return triumphantly, return triumphantly, what a glory this is, now, it falls on us! Ding Gaotian sang and danced, and he couldn't help himself with joy.
Wu Wanying is much calmer, as a child of an official family, he doesn't know how many people have seen in the big scene, and he has a little resistance to this.
What's more, Wu Wanying is no better than Ding Gaotian, a lonely man. There was a person next to him who was close to him, looking a little timid in the face of such a big scene.
This person is naturally a steamed bun.
Although the steamed bun knew that this was a good thing, he still cowered a little when he saw such a big battle, shrank behind Wu Wanying, grabbed Wu Wanying's sleeves involuntarily with both hands, and whispered something, but made Wu Wanying straighten his chest, and while persuading, he raised his head and made a calm and unhurried appearance.
Seeing this, the steamed bun was a little relaxed.
Soon, though, she was about to jump again.
Because, Ding Gaotian suddenly said to Wu Wanying in surprise: "Wanying! Wan Ying! Look there, that's it, so many beautiful girls are staring at us! Look over there, on the northwest side of the corner of the city gate, there is a railing, and there are girls on the earthen platform. They're all staring at us! Hey, you said that I called you to pick up and pick up today, but you still don't listen, steamed buns, take a look, give Wan Ying a beating, you can't let the girl in Jingshi look down on you! Here, maybe there's ......."
"Old Ding ......" Wu Wanying looked at the expression of the steamed bun that sank suddenly, and was anxious, glaring at Ding Gaotian.
Mantou said in a sullen voice: "What's there?" You mean......"
"Yes...... There is a ......" Ding Gaotian saw that something was wrong, and he couldn't wait to give himself an ear scraper, swallowed the words desperately, and said: "Aren't I anxious about Wan Ying's lifelong event, those girls are all Wan Ying's favorite appearance, not my dish, so I naturally have to stick to Wan Ying." We are all licking blood from the knife edge, this little thing, do it first. When the time comes, it will really be a life on the battlefield, leave a seed, go to the Huangquan Prefecture, and see the ancestors and not be empty-hearted, isn't it ......"
"I see you're full, and you're in a panic!" Wu Wanying was anxious and scolded with a smile. He followed Ding Gaotian's line of sight, planning to comfort the steamed buns These are not his own dishes, but at a glance, Wu Wanying was stunned.
The steamed bun looked at Wu Wanying in a daze, the expression of his eyes was about to be revealed, and his heart suddenly became sour, and his eyes were moist and moist.
When Ding Gaotian saw it, he was also anxious, he was ruthless, gave himself an ear scraper, and said in a low voice: "Oh, it's all me...... Shall we change this stubble? After entering the Beijing Division, I will buy delicious steamed buns for you and take you to see the fun. Then, give your brother Wan Ying another lesson, Wan Ying, what are you doing in a daze! â
"Sister!" Wu Wanying didn't listen to Ding Gaotian's muttering a lot, and desperately beckoned to the small earthen platform in the crowd: "Sister, I'm back triumphantly, I'm back triumphantly!" â
"Sister, you wait for me! As soon as I take my leave, I'll go to the school to find you! Wu Wanying waved her hand desperately and beckoned to Wu Qiao'er in the stands.
At this moment, the brigade has entered the city.
After Wu Wanying's team also entered the city, they watched Wu Qiaoer's figure behind them get farther and farther away, until they were out of sight, and then they retracted their thoughts at Wu Qiaoer's beckoning.
The steamed bun looked at it in a daze and understood.
Ding Gaotian touched his head, feeling very embarrassed for this big oolong he had made.
âŚâŚ
In the crowd, Wu Qiaoer waved her hand, and when she saw that Wu Wanying was far away, she put down her hand.
"That's your brother?" Li Xiangjun praised: "Like you, it looks like a talent." â
"It's my brother." Wu Qiao'er was overjoyed when she heard Li Xiangjun's appreciation, but instead, she became a little worried.
Li Xiangjun asked with concern: "It seems that Brother Qiao'er returned triumphantly this time, and there is no obstacle on his body, and he has made great contributions." This should be rejoicing. â
"It is joy to think of yourself. Can...... But I'm afraid that he joined the army, and I don't know if he was led crooked by some messy person, so he learned ...... I learned about those unhealthy practices. Sister Xiangjun, you didn't see that there was a person behind my younger brother, leaning closely on Wan Ying. And Wan Ying, still coaxing all the way, looking at his look, is also very wrong! Saying that, Wu Qiao'er became even more worried.
Their Wu family is just this one man.
If he really has the habit of being good at Longyang, he will have no face when he sees his ancestors after he dies.
"I guess it's a problem, but I didn't think about it, but it's such a problem...... That's it, in the future, when you see a real person, you will understand. Li Xiangjun recognized what the clothes on the steamed bun behind Wu Wanying represented. That's a nurse's uniform. In the same days, the nurses are all women.
However, she was not in a hurry to explain......
âŚâŚ
The triumphal ceremony was soon completed at the Temple of Heaven.
Zhu Cihong came as usual to stir people's hearts and attract three long live speeches.
After finishing, Zhu Cihong hurried back to the palace.
There, a high-level meeting had been prepared, and cabinet ministers such as Li Banghua, Fu Shuxun, Huang Daozhou, Gao Mingheng, and Wang Duo were listed one after another.
Fortunately, the triumphal ceremony was held smoothly, and on the way, Zhu Cihong bumped into Li Banghua, who entered the palace together, and the two entered the palace all the way, gossiping all the way.
"A few days ago, what did Li Aiqing think of the newspapers that Jinyiwei brought back?" Zhu Cihong chatted idly.
Li Banghua said with a smile: "Impressions, naturally, are thousands." However, the Western calendar is also interesting. A lot of the time, it's a little dizzy. But what the saint said in the hall of Jingshi University, the minister really understood a little at this time. This world is indeed very different. â
The calendar Li Banghua is talking about, of course, is the Western era used by Europeans at this moment. And the Ming Dynasty used the 277th year of the Ming Dynasty.
The new era of the 277th year of the Ming Dynasty was the new era adopted by Zhu Cihong after he ascended the throne, and he did not use the traditional era name, let alone worship the foreign and flattering, and used the year of birth of a Western religious figure as the era.
Naturally, it is logical that according to the time of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the era has become the most common sense thing.
277 means that the Ming Dynasty has been in charge of the country for 277 years.
The long history has brought many glorious traditions, honorable pasts, and immortal splendid civilizations to the Ming Dynasty. But in the same way, in the course of two hundred and seventy-seven years, it also means that some small problems have become big problems. The pride of some Celestial Empires will turn into arrogance.
But fortunately, although the last days are disasters, changes are also opportunities.
The Ming Dynasty in this era is very different from the Qing Dynasty that ruled in later generations.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, exchanges between China and the West were even more open.
The scholars in Jiangnan did not refuse the missionaries who came from the sea, and the imperial court not only learned the art of artillery shooting from the mercenaries of the West in Dengzhou, but also the Chongzhen Emperor in order to repay Tang Ruowang for his assistance in casting artillery, personally inscribed the four characters of "Qin Bao Tianxue", and made plaques and distributed them to the Catholic churches in various places to hang. Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, Li Tianjing, and Tang Ruowang presided over the compilation of the "Chongzhen Almanac" is a sign of the eastward spread of Western learning.
All in all, this is a time of hidden crisis.
It is also an era of imminent change.
The report from Jin Yiwei is a brief summary of some of the world's intelligence that Jin Yiwei has tried to gather overseas. Zhu Cihong can know about this year's British Civil War, in addition to the convenience of travelers, naturally the majestic brocade guard is indispensable. This previous secret service agency is more like the military intelligence bureau of the Ming Dynasty.
The year 277 is the year of the Rooster, and 1645 in AD. After the LĂŞ Dynasty of Vietnam, the three years of Futai, and the Mo Dynasty of Shunde for eight years; Japan is guaranteed for two years.
Twenty-five years ago, the British Mayflower arrived in New England, what would become the United States. A year earlier, it was the beginning of the Dutch occupation of Java and their gradual encroachment on East Asia. Three years later, in 1622, the Dutch occupied Penghu, and in 1624, they occupied the city of Chichicheng, Taiwan.
Five years before the 277th year of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the English Kingdom mentioned in Zhu Cihong's speech at the Beijing Normal University, a civil war was taking place at this moment.
This event, which later generations called the bourgeois revolution, was of epoch-making significance. The trend of the times in which the bourgeoisie opposes feudal autocracy has quietly begun. Relying on this institutional advantage as a starting point, no one would have expected that England, an isolated country on an overseas island, would become the hegemon for the next nearly 300 years.
At the same time, at the same time, the heart of the whole world: Europe, is undergoing great changes.
The Thirty Years' War, which began in 1618, swept through the countries of Europe, and the long war suffered heavy casualties. Under the rolling wheels of history, by the end of this year, this war has been going on for 27 years. Zhu Cihong knew very well that in three years, the Thirty Years' War would end.
The war, which ended with the defeat of the Habsburgs, was also of great importance.
As a result, the formation of the nation-state in Europe accelerated, and the modern history of Europe began.
The international order that Svetphalia has built will have a profound impact on the world.
As for East Asia...... In East Asia, where the barbarians destroyed civilization. The Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty, which was not only the death of the country, but also the death of the world. The Qing Dynasty, which was sunk in the flames of war, had to spread the war for decades, and it was not until the Kangxi period that there was a little whitewash of the so-called prosperous atmosphere of Kangqian. But as a foreign race ruling a huge empire, the Qing people were destined to maintain stability, go to closure, and dream of the heavenly kingdom, until they were bombarded and opened the country, only to wake up and find that they were already a hundred years behind.
Fortunately, what makes Zhu Cihong feel happy and proud.
A new era will set sail in his hands.
The future international order ...... There will be no absence of the sons and daughters of China.

Located in the newly built No. 1 Hall of the State Council in the partial hall of the Qianqing Palace, the ministers entered separately. Thanks to the new conference halls such as the State Council, everyone has a table and chair, which can not only sit comfortably, but also put a lot of papers. The officials of the Ming Dynasty finally did not have to carry a long wat board.
This wat board is an existence similar to a notepad, allowing officials to prepare for the questioning of the peak.
Therefore, as soon as they entered, everyone sorted out their documents.
Subsequently, several young scholars appeared in the conference hall. Although these Chinese scholars are famous, they are actually the work of secretaries. They were handing out documents one by one.
Obviously, this is the material for this meeting.
Everyone hurriedly took the documents one by one and flipped through them.
The whole hall was both quiet and noisy.
The silence was that no one spoke, and the noisy sound of the whole venue was constantly turning the pages of documents. It's like a meal, and everyone is doing as fast as they can. It's just that the object of their food is replaced by the documents in their hands, and the goal is to save the massive amount of information in those documents.
After a moment of silence, suddenly, the whole venue didn't know who took the lead, and the sound of turning the pages of documents suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, the person who was still turning the page sensed that something was wrong, and looked down the abnormal place, and found that the room had stopped turning the page at some point.
When everyone stopped, everyone looked at each other and felt a little overwhelmed.
"Why is there a woman?" Huang Daozhou, who was still the oldest among the officials present, asked.
"Hello Huang Ge, I am the head of the pathology laboratory of the Army Hospital, Kong Luoling. This time, the Army Hospital, by divine order, studied a special project. As the project leader, I came to report on the project. Kong Luoling was slightly nervous, and got up to salute, but as soon as the words were spoken, they were like water spilled out, and they couldn't be taken back. Gradually, Kong Luoling was calm and nervous.
"Oh......" Huang Daozhou bowed his head slowly, didn't say much, just said: "Since it is a holy order, then please sit down, I have no problem with the old man." â
Everyone in the room looked at each other, and then returned to the sound of the paper turning the pages.
After a long time, when everyone was due, and Zhu Cihong, who arrived at the end, also stepped onto the rostrum, the sound of turning the pages of the document stopped suddenly.
The door to the conference room was closed, and there was no noise in the room.
Zhu Cihong coughed lightly and said, "You must have read the confidential documents distributed by the Zhongshu Sheren. As for the confidentiality regulations, I will not emphasize nonsense. The preparation for this meeting may be a bit hasty, but the next series of policy decrees will be at the national policy level. In other words, the writing, promulgation, and implementation of these policies will have a profound impact on the empire, and even determine whether we can lead the way for another millennium. Become the empire on which the sun never sets! (To be continued.) )
