Chapter 1121: The Empire is founded
On the night of December 14, 1905. In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Liu Jun, who was sitting on the dragon chair, kept turning the pen in his hand, he wanted to go out and have a look now, but in the face of the resolute eyes of Li Hongzhang, Yang Shixiang and others in front of him, Liu Jun could only reluctantly retreat his thoughts.
These old things. He said that he would not let himself go out, and that he would not be able to appear on the castle tower in the emperor's clothes until tomorrow morning, and then give a speech. For this kind of request, Liu Jun couldn't help but agree, after all, he had not experienced these things, but Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong and others had experienced it, and when Guangxu ascended the throne, these two guys participated.
"You don't sleep, do you?" Putting the pen on the table, Liu Jun asked Li Hongzhang, the director of the advisory office who was sitting in front of him with his eyes closed.
Where did Li Hongzhang feel sleepy, to be precise, he hadn't slept since yesterday afternoon, when he saw that he was already preparing outside. There is no other reason, excitement, it is an excitement.
"Don't sleep, I'm going to stay here tonight and wait for tomorrow's ceremony." Li Hongzhang opened his eyes and said word by word.
There was no chance, Liu Jun, who heard this, helplessly lay on the table and looked at the wall clock on the wall with difficulty.
Time passed little by little, and at five o'clock, Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang, who was in charge of welcoming and arranging foreign guests, walked in outside.
"Your Majesty. Britain, France, Austria-Hungary, Tsarist Russia, the United States, Portugal, the Siberian Empire, etc., have arrived in Beijing and entered the viewing platform, in addition, the living Buddha of Outer Mongolia. Tibet, the Living Buddha, the former imperial court Prince Zaifeng and others have all entered the viewing platform. ”
"Head, the front flagpole was corrected yesterday." Zhong Lin on the side also spoke.
**The flagpole in front of it was set up according to Liu Jun's intentions, and it rose and fell on time at seven o'clock in the morning and seven o'clock in the evening every day, no matter how rainy and windy it was, it could not be stopped.
Okay, hearing this report, Liu Jun nodded slightly.
"Marshal, the 15,000 people participating in the parade have arrived and are lined up." Feng Guozhang, commander of the Southwest Theater who was the commander of the parade, also reported at the same time.
"In addition, more than 500,000 people near Beijing and Tianjin have been gathered outside."
One by one, the news flew to Liu Jun's ears like snowflakes, and everything was ready.
"Let's change your clothes." Now that everything was ready, Liu Jun stretched his waist, then slowly stood up and walked into the room.
A few minutes later,
Liu Jun, who was wearing a yellow dragon robe and a crown, accompanied by Zheng Yiqian, Li Hongzhang and others, left the Yangxin Palace, went to the nearest palace to rest, and prepared to go up to the city tower at eight o'clock, and then where to meet the congratulations of foreign guests and the congratulations of the people.
At eight o'clock on December 15, 1905. The one hundred and ninety-eight salutes lined up outside began to fire a salute.
One hundred and ninety-eight salutes, each of which had to fire thirty-five shells.
Hearing the sound of a cannon salute outside, Liu Jun, who was almost asleep, suddenly stood up, and slowly entered the ** city wall, accompanied by a group of generals and officials of the empire.
"Hooray, hooray, hooray." As soon as he entered the city wall and stood still, he shouted like a mountain below. Hearing this, Liu Junqiang, who could break his ears, held back the excitement in his heart, and then waved to the people below.
This founding ceremony was presided over by Li Hongzhang, of course, this long thing, or let Li Hongzhang go, this old man is also very good, nearly an hour of speech, he didn't bring a manuscript, he simply opened his mouth to come, so that Liu Jun, who was standing on the side, admired it at the same time, but also made up his mind in his heart that he must study hard in the next life.
"The founding ceremony. From now on, raise the Imperial Golden Dragon Axe Banner. Finally, Li Hongzhang finally got to the point.
Rumble....... Rumble...... Rumble........ As soon as Li Hongzhang's words were finished, the salute below began to fire again.
Bang Bang Bang ........ Bang Bang Bang ....... At this time, there was a sudden sound of neat footsteps in **, and when I heard this sound, the ministers and military attaches of various countries on the viewing platform stretched their necks and stared at the bottom.
Bang Bang Bang ...... The voices were getting closer and closer, and at last, they saw a group of soldiers walking towards the flagpole in the distance.
These people are easy to count, 108, and they all follow the three people in front of them in a neat line.
Oh my God. Liu Jun heard it, and on the foreign viewing platform, the French minister was actually surprised.
Sample, if Lao Tzu doesn't deter you today, how will you mix in the southwest in the future. Seeing the French minister franc let out an exclamation, liu jun, who put his hand in his sleeve, shook his feet and thought of it.
Bang Bang Bang ....... After leaving the Jinshui Bridge, the more than 100 people did not go to watch the screams of the people around them, but paused, turned into a step in unison, and sent the national flag down the flagpole, and then raised the flag.
"It's your turn, shake what." Seeing that the flag was already fluttering on the flagpole, Li Hongzhang poked Liu Jun, who was still shaking.
Oh, when Liu Jun heard this, he immediately reacted, picked up the manuscript in his hand and walked over, this manuscript was written by Zhang Zhidong, and he didn't understand it himself, but he just read it out according to the words on it.
"Hooray, hooray, hooray.".net
Nima, don't want the manuscript, being shouted by so many people, Liu Jun immediately threw away the manuscript and picked up the microphone directly: "Long live the people, long live the people." ”
God, what kind of style is this. Li Hongzhang, who was on the side, heard these words, and immediately wanted to jump off the city tower immediately. Today is the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, how did Liu Junlai come out, anyway, just when Li Hongzhang was about to jump off the building, Liu Jun's next sentence made him stop this impulse immediately.
"I declare. The Holy Chinese Empire was officially established today. ”
Originally, according to the arrangement, Liu Jun was going to announce the news of the establishment of the country after reading the manuscript, but suddenly, Liu Jun made such a fuss, and Li Hongzhang, who knew Liu Jun too well, was afraid that something abnormal would happen, but fortunately, in the end, Liu Jun still smoothed this matter over.
After Liu Jun said this, he immediately retreated, and then, the speech that followed closely was Wang Shizhen, Minister of National Defense, who announced today the appointment of various ministries of the military region, and after that, it was the matter of Yuan Shikai, Zhang Zhidong, and others in the Government Council.
After this spending, it was already half past eleven o'clock at noon, and after twelve o'clock, the military parade ceremony was held.
