Chapter 268

"Boom boom boom" came three more cannon shots, which spread far away.Seeing the emperor standing facing the Ministry of War with all the civil and military officials, the people watching the ceremony knew that those Ming loyalists were about to be sent over.Immediately, they all turned around and stood facing that side, looking at that side with curiosity.

The common people standing on the side of the Ministry of Military Affairs first saw the gate of the Ministry of Military Affairs open, and then rows of soldiers from the Beijing camp slowly walked out from inside.

There are ten people in a row, they seem to be about the same height, all of them are wearing brand-new military uniforms, with solemn expressions.Everyone was holding a spirit card in their hands, which seemed to be extremely heavy, and it seemed to be so precious that they were extra cautious and walked side by side.

Every time they walked a few steps forward, the soldiers of the five cities under martial law, the Ma Sijun, saluted for their loyalty, and the common people saluted with solemn faces.

Some of these loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty were soldiers of the Beijing camp who died in the battle to defend the capital. Therefore, among the people watching the ceremony, some of them were relatives of those loyal martyrs, with tears in their eyes, and their expressions were a little excited.

The soldiers holding the spirit tablets slowly came to the square, and stood in front of the Daming Loyalty Hall, on the side of the civil and military officials, facing the emperor standing on the vertical pole.

By the time everything was in place, more than an hour had passed.During this process, Emperor Chongzhen basically did not move, let alone drink water, drink tea and sit for a while.On the contrary, some people in the ranks of civil and military officials are unable to stand up.

With so many people in the capital, there are always some people who are watching the emperor and those civil and military officials.After seeing the comparison, they gained a new understanding of the emperor's importance and solemnity to this matter. While secretly surprised, their favorability increased again.

Seeing that everyone was standing up, the chief assistant bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said loudly, "Get ready to raise the national flag!"

Upon hearing this, not to mention the common people watching the ceremony, even among the civil and military officials, many people were surprised by it.The previous decree said that the national flag must be raised and the national anthem must be sung in all government offices, starting from the Daming Loyalty Hall?This thing is really new, but what's the use?
Under the curiosity of most people, a row of people came out from the Daming Loyalty Hall.The leader was Qianhu, a Jinyi guard, holding a folded cloth in both hands, walking solemnly.There are also three Jinyiwei and three Dongchang Fanservants, all holding knives, majesticly guarding behind Jinyiwei Qianhu.

Liu Laosan's position is relatively good, just in front of the passage, behind the guard Jinyi's army, looking at the piece of cloth with a little curiosity, guessing in his heart that this is the national flag?The flag of the Ming Empire?

Although the imperial court had announced it before and it was printed in the banknotes.But most of the people have never seen it. One is that they are ordinary people, and the other is that only a small number of soldiers have banknotes.As for the national flag and national anthem, I have only heard of it.

Seeing that Jinyiwei Qianhu walked to the platform where the emperor was, and stood under the vertical pole for a while, everyone suddenly realized that this was the flagpole and the place where the national flag was hung.

A Jinyiwei school lieutenant and a Dongchang fan took a step forward to assist Jinyiwei Qianhu to start tying the flag. After everything was ready, Emperor Chongzhen gave an order: "Raise the national flag and sing the national anthem!"

Under the leadership of the emperor, those people who were close to the emperor sang along with the emperor, and then the people nearby also sang along with the tune. Finally, all civil and military officials sang, some soldiers and common people could sing, And sang along.

"If one side is in trouble, all sides will support it!"

"All people are united, and their benefits can break gold!"

"Flooding in the south and drought in the north, what's the point!"

"..."

Amid the gradually louder national anthem, a bright flag of bright sun and moon was gradually raised.

At this moment, Liu Laosan stood upright unconsciously, his eyes fixed on the national flag, he opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't sing, he felt a suffocation in his chest, which he had never experienced before. I hate myself for not being able to sing!
You must learn to sing this song quickly, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing!
When the national anthem was over, the Bright Sun and Moon Flag had also risen to the top of the flagpole, fluttering stubbornly against the wind in the cold wind, showing that day, that month, and that radiant light!

Emperor Chongzhen withdrew his gaze, turned around, faced the civil and military officials and the people watching the ceremony, glanced at them slowly, and then said loudly: "The national flag represents the Ming Empire! Where the national flag is, it is our Ming Dynasty. The territory of the Ming Dynasty! The national anthem is my heartfelt voice, my request to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and my request to the Ming Empire! As long as you are a member of the Ming Dynasty, you must remember the national anthem of the Ming Dynasty and the meaning in the lyrics! The national flag will fly forever, and the national anthem of Ming Dynasty will always be sung!"

Liu Laosan listened, and suddenly felt that he was unexpectedly impressed by the lyrics of the national anthem, and felt that the national anthem was so well said!He doesn't understand the truth, but he knows that only when brothers are of the same heart can the family prosper if their profits cut through gold.From this, we know that if the matter of unity is raised to the level of the entire Ming Dynasty, everyone can also be united. There will be no people like the damn Shanxi merchants who work hard together, so why worry about Jianlu and natural disasters?What a joke!

He was thinking, but Emperor Chongzhen was speaking again: "Da Ming loyalists sacrificed their precious lives for Daming. I remember, and Daming also remembers. As long as Da Ming exists, Daming loyalists will be enshrined forever!"

Those soldiers and the common people of Ming Dynasty have heard this and know that the loyal soldiers of Ming Dynasty will survive with the country.But when the emperor said it himself, the meaning was absolutely extraordinary and solemn, and the weight was definitely greater than what was said in the legend.Immediately, they were all excited.The loyal family members of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help but secretly wiped away the tears that kept pouring out, talking to their lost relatives in their hearts.

Some things, it is one thing to listen to others, and it is another thing to say it in public on a grand occasion.Just like the same movie, watching it at home and watching it in a movie theater are completely different feelings.Emperor Chongzhen, as a person who passed through the soul of later generations, knew this very well, and therefore, he decided to say it again in person on such an occasion.

After finishing speaking at this time, he also saw that the effect was good, and he was satisfied in his heart, so he said loudly: "Come on, kill the captives and sacrifice the flag, and send Daming Zhonglie into the palace!"

As soon as this decree was made, there were three more "boom boom boom" cannons.

Not long after, I saw two soldiers of the White Army Army dragging a prisoner with his hands behind his back and a tail of money rats coming.Whether these Jianlu were fierce, scared, or in other expressions, they were all treated the same. They were escorted under the fluttering Ming flag, beside the loyalty plaque, two white-armed soldiers served a Jianlu, and knelt on the ground. .

Another group of white pole soldiers came, one of them stretched out his hand to grab the tail of Jianlu's head, and the other held a machete.

 Thanks to the blue-black fighter L for the reward!
