ideal era

326 founding ceremony

Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is wrapped in silver. Outside the west, the remnants of the sun are like blood.

All the representatives of all provinces and civil and military officials gathered at Nanjing Xiaguan Station to welcome them.

"Look, it's coming! The president's float is coming!"

With a cry in the crowd, everyone raised their heads.

In Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, every family is full of lanterns and joy, which is really more lively than the Spring Festival. Early in the morning, the people shared the news of Sun Yat-sen's coming to Ning. The whole city was either on the street or ran to Xiaguan Railway Station to welcome Sun Yat-sen's arrival.

Sun Yat-sen was elected president, and the Republic of China was established today. Everyone felt that his waist was a little harder than usual. Didn't the revolutionaries say "exorcise the abhort of the people and restore China"? As long as the Manting is overthrown and the Republic of China is established, the big guy's waist can stand up.

At the end of the rail line, people cheered when they saw a string of long steam spewing from the white train. In a blink of an eye, the sound of cheers became a piece, which made more people look there. Even the soldiers who patrolled the guard at the station turned their eyes. The cheers are getting louder and louder.

The float pulled out a long siren to respond to the crazy crowd, and the cheers were grounded. People surged like a tide. The workers' felt hats, the people' melon skin hats, and the soldiers' big-brimmed hats were all thrown up and downs between the world under the bloody sunset in the evening.

The crowd rushed to the side of the station platform regardless. The guards tried their best to maintain the alert line, and then people stopped and shouted madly at the train.

When the special float pulled the whistle and smoothly drove into Nanjing Xiaguan Station, it was five o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the Chinese and foreign warships moored on the Yangtze River not far from Xiaguan fired 21 salutees, and the rumble of the gun signaled a republic

The birth of the country.

"H Long live the Republic of China!"

"H Long live the President!"

"..."

Xiaguan Station is a thunderous salute and military music. People are welcome to shout and shake the earth, as if the land of China can be lifted.

Outside the station, and even the whole city of Nanjing, there are lights everywhere. The Chinese people are celebrating

The arrival of a new century.

"Sir, Nanjing has arrived."

Sun Yat-sen heard Miss Song's charming and excited voice, and he smiled faintly, not knowing what he was thinking. He straightened his crown hat and looked out of the car window.

Although he is still smiling with a reserved smile. But there are ups and downs in the heart.

A large group of people crowded there with people's expectations, and everyone's faces looked like eagerly. If the revolutionary army hadn't been in the front, the order would have been chaotic.

When he saw his car coming, there was a buzz in the crowd, which was a little crazy.

Sun Yat-sen looked at the scene like a surge of anger below, looked at the head of the people who could not press the edge, and listened to the roar of the waves. Somehow, his eyes suddenly warmed up. He forced himself to suppress his emotions and looked back at the father and daughter of the Song family, as well as the entourage. They were at a loss than him. .

Crackling, tens of thousands of firecrackers sounded, and the two lions also shook their heads and tails in the sound of gongs and drums. The two lions had already twisted their tails and separated. One lion picked the green and jumped happily, waiting for President Sun Yat-sen to get out of the car.

In anticipation, I saw Sun Yat-sen walking down with a smile. Standing on the chariot, he smiled and bowed. Then he didn't want Song Jiashu to help him. Sun Yat-sen walked off the float.

He stood firmly. The green lion had run over and offered the green, and then spit out a mud and gold vertical frame from the lion's mouth. The four big words above: "H Long live the President!"

The sound of firecrackers is getting louder and faster, and the surrounding mountains are shouting like a tsunami.

Many alliance elites who have returned from overseas, as well as the elites of the Constitutional Council who have been in China. The Chinese people they know have always been silent and numb, and the officials are arrogant and arrogant. Everything seems to have stagnated hundreds of years ago and has not changed. Several docks have been opened, buying foreign guns, military ships and machines. But the concept of the country and the modern nation does not seem to have caused any waves in this pool of stagnant water.

When will these silent people cheer like this for a person?

Foreign consuls in Nanjing of various skin colors also came to the station to greet them. The Chinese people who were numb and silent in the past were crazy at this time, which also made these foreign adults who came to the foreign consulates in Nanjing feel a little strange.

Sun Yat-sen met the welcoming masses led by Huang Xing, and then waved to the consuls of various countries in Nanjing who came to welcome him.

The welcome scene here has reached **. When Song Yiling followed Sun Yat-sen out of the car, he only heard the thunder of the salute, and more than a dozen military bands scrambled to play.

"Hold the Republic!"

"H Long live the Republic of China!"

"H Long live the President!"

"..."

The slogan is to curb the cloud.

The streets are full of people, and the shops and houses along the street are decorated with lights.

Sun Yat-sen met and shook hands with consuls of various countries with great interest, thanked them, and asked them to convey his respect for heads of state and government.

The narcissus was entangled. She got out of the crowd and eagerly went straight to Li Xiang's place. Although it was really noisy, she still lowered her voice and said, "Lv Zhongqiu just received information. Zhang Xuzhou sent a small group of armed Qing troops from the Qinhuai River into Nanjing City, and other places also found the thin and thick gunshots of bandits... As soon as Mr. Sun Yat-sen's train entered Nanjing, the bandits who sneaked into Nanjing began to shoot and make trouble. However, because so many people in Nanjing set off firecrackers, they hid the sound of gunfire from afar.

Li Xiang was shocked and said anxiously, "Don't speak out, so as not to cause panic and affect the founding ceremony. I'll solve this matter!"

Li Xiang looked at Sun Yat-sen and saw the bright Miss Song Ling. Suddenly, his heart moved and ran to her ear and secretly said, "A Qing army has sneaked into the city in disguise, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Mr. Sun Yat-sen."

Miss Song frowned slightly and said in surprise, "According to the scheduled plan, you are going to change to the carriage to the presidential palace. At that time, a few kilometers from the station to the presidential palace was crowded with people, even on the roof and trees. How to ensure the safety of the president on this road?

Seeing Sun Yat-sen wave to the crowd and walk towards the carriage, the two were very anxious. Li Xiang said in a hurry, "I can't help it. I'll tell my husband!"

"I have a way!" Miss Song grabbed Li Xiang, and she quickly wrote a note: "If you find the enemy, the president can't take the predetermined route!" He turned around and handed it to Huang Xing, who was walking on the right back of Sun Yat-sen.

Huang Xing looked at the note and took a look at Miss Song. He saw Li Xiang standing next to her. Li Xiang nodded to him eagerly. Whether the situation is true or not, changes must be made! Huang Xing nodded in response to what they knew. He stuffed the note into his pocket and decided to take the second route to the city.

At this time, Sun Yat-sen approached the carriage and was about to step up. Miss Song thought that Huang Xing did not accept her opinion, and sweat suddenly came out, so she was ready to jump to the front and report directly to Sun Yat-sen.

Huang Xing took a few steps, stepped in front of Sun Yat-sen, stretched out his hand forward, and motioned Sun Yat-sen to continue moving forward.

Sun Yat-sen looked at Huang Xing doubtfully. Huang Xing immediately reported lightly on Sun Yat-sen: "The situation has changed. Implement the second plan. Continue to take a special bus into the city's railway tracks and drive directly to the presidential palace."

At this time, Li Xiang and Miss Song's hanging hearts were relieved. They looked at each other and made eye contact. Seeing that each other's nervous emotions were relaxed, they couldn't help looking at each other and laughing.

In Nanjing, there are lights everywhere, people fill the streets and alleys, cheering and thundering, and warmly welcoming Sun Yat-sen's visit. The small stations along the way are stopped so that citizens can admire the demeanor. It's really an empty alley with thousands of people cheers.

"Why are there foreign soldiers?" Sun Yat-sen asked in surprise.

At this time, when the car arrived at the Sanpailou Station, he suddenly saw a queue of soldiers with fair skin and neat military uniforms holding guns to pay tribute. Sun Yat-sen was very surprised.

Li wanted to come to the window and looked curiously. Mr. Sun Yat-sen's eyes were really bullshit. These "foreign soldiers" lined up because all the team members are young female students, fair skin, as charming as flowers, and neat military uniforms. Inadvertently, they are really like foreign soldiers.

Li Xiang couldn't help laughing and said, "It's the women's Northern Expedition team led by Comrade Lin Zongxue. The thin skin and tender meat is a little similar.

A group of people in the car smiled at each other.

The car arrived at Zhongzheng Street and stayed with the welcoming staff to rest in Baohua. Speaking of this Baohuazhen, it is a famous place. It is a hotel where the governor of the two rivers of the Qing Dynasty entertained foreign guests, that is, the Nanjing government office of the Qing Dynasty, and later became the staff headquarters of the West Arrow Road.

According to Huang Xing's arrangement, as long as you have a simple meal, you can hold a ceremony. However, Li Xiang reported that Zhang Xun sent a small group of armed Qing troops from the Qinhuai River from Nanjing City to make trouble everywhere.

After hearing this, Hu Hanmin hurriedly advised Sun Yat-sen, "Will the inauguration ceremony be postponed to tomorrow morning?"

"It's all here. There's no need to delay." Li Xiang said indifferently on the side. When he got here, he and Miss Song were at ease. I'm telling you, I just want you to send some people to the street to maintain it.

Sun Yat-sen was angry at the improper wording of the two documents, and he also categorically denied: "The ceremony cannot be postponed until tomorrow. Today is New Year's Day in 1992, and everything will be renewed. It is also the New Year's Day of the first year of the Republic of China. Today, it is of special significance to announce the establishment of the Republic of China to the world. He pointed to the Letter to the National Compatriots and the Inaugural Declaration of the Interim President: "These two documents need to be corrected as soon as possible."

Li Xiang couldn't help curling his lips. What should be modified should be the "Temporary President's Oath"!

Song Jiashu knew that this was a historic message and hurriedly said, "Let me take a look for you." Then he walked to a quiet hut with Sun Yat-sen and quickly and carefully elaborated.

After everything was in good condition, Sun Yat-sen put on a stand-up dress in front of the big dressing mirror inlaid in red sandalwood.

He stared at himself in the mirror. For a long time, he gently asked Miss Song standing behind him and said, "I... like a general manager

Is it all?

Miss Song came forward gently and virtuously tidy up his collar and smiled happily, "Like!"

Hu Hanmin came with a document in his hand: "Provincial representatives and representatives of the army and navy are here! Will the swearing-in ceremony begin?

Sun Yat-sen nodded.

Mr. Sun Yat-sen and Xu Shaojia, the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing garrison, took a two-headed carriage to the presidential palace.

The temporary presidential palace is located in the old governor's office of the two rivers in Nanjing, which is the former site of the Heavenly Palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Now it has been repaired and painted, waiting for the arrival of its new owner. Two colored doors were set up outside the gate of the temporary presidential palace. Pine branches and cypresses and various paper flowers set off a solemn and warm atmosphere. Nine golden red palace lamps hung on the colorful doors.

At 11:00 p.m., the inauguration ceremony officially began. When Hu Hanmin accompanied Sun Yat-sen into the auditorium, the auditorium, which had been warmly barbecued by fireplaces on all sides, suddenly burned like thunderous applause.

The auditorium of the presidential palace was brightly lit, with representatives from various provinces, revolutionary officers, relevant people at home and abroad, journalists, etc. In the middle of the rostrum, there are thirteen shiny characters of "Inauguration Ceremony of the Provisional President of the Republic of China".

The inauguration ceremony of the president was solemn and simple, with Xu Shaozhen as the master of ceremonies.

When Sun Yat-sen came to the venue, the slogan "Hugeot of the Republic" suddenly sounded. Sun Yat-sen boarded the platform, raised his hands high, and applauded. After the majestic military music and the 21st salute, Jing Yaoyue delivered a eulogy on behalf of the public.

Song Jiashu, Gui Zhen and Miss Song stood in the front row, quietly watching the upright Sun Yat-sen walk on the temporary platform and accept everyone's congratulations and cheers in front of the two bright five-color flags. He was so quiet, as if all these victories did not require him to pay sacrifices and costs. However, then, when Sun Yat-sen faced the five-color national flag on the wall, solemnly raised his right hand and read the "Provisional President's Oath" to the people of the whole country, tears suddenly surged up in his eyes. He did not wipe it, and let the tears flow quietly. Sun Yat-sen stood in front of the stage, unswervingly raised his right hand, solemnly swore, and his voice was slow, solemn and clear:

"To overthrow the autocratic government of Manchuria, consolidate the Republic of China, and seek the happiness of the people's livelihood. The public will of this people is to be faithful to the country and serve the people..."

Li Xiang and Miss Song thought together, that's enough, that's enough! Just read this. It's frustrating to talk about dismissal as soon as you take office. After the two of them finished thinking, Sun Yat-sen's voice roared in the whole auditorium:

"... When the autocratic government fell, there was no change in the country. The Republic of China stood out in the world and was recognized by the countries. I would like to swear to the people. Republic of China, the first year, New Year's Day, Sun Wen.

"H Long live the Republic!" The sound of cheers and firecrackers was deafening.

Jing Yaoyue, a representative of each province, walked to Sun Yat-sen on the scarlet carpet and opened the printing box: "Please ask the president to use the seal." In Jing Yaoyue's hand-held printing box was the "Seal of the Provisional President of the Republic of China" wrapped in red silk, which was awarded to Sun Yat-sen. Sun Yat-sen looked solemn, took the big seal with both hands, and immediately solemnly stamped the first bright red and sacred seal on the Provisional President's Manifesto...

More than 2,000 years of imperialism has finally come to an end, and China has become the first republic in Asia from now on.

In any case, Miss Song still applauded warmly under the stage, looking at the man she had secretly admired for more than ten years with emotion.
