Chapter 223 The Real Foundation

"For your triumph, I will personally preside over the proofreading!"

This is a promise, the promise of the emperor of the soldiers to the soldiers, and the promise that needs to be fulfilled. "In order to celebrate the defeat of Japan, should we hold a victory parade in Nanjing and invite the heroes who have made the most contributions - soldiers, non-commissioned officers, officers and generals to participate in this military parade?"

Although individuals have always had a dispensable attitude towards the military parade, almost immediately after the signing of the Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty and the Sino-Japanese Security Treaty, Chen Moran put forward this proposal to the ministers. Naturally, the ministers have no objection to your majesty's request, and it seems that It is also the time to publicize the power of [***].

On August 19, 1906, on this day, just a month ago, Xiao Yuren, who was promoted to marshal, got up earlier than usual. I immediately looked out of the window. Yesterday, Nanjing was still a gloomy sky. In the afternoon, it was even drizzling. If the weather was still like this today, it would not be a good weather, but this was the first military parade of the empire on the Avenue of Restoration.

The moment he opened the window, Xiao Yan's face squeezed out a smile. Although the sun was rising, there were almost no clouds in the blue sky. It was definitely a good day.

A month ago, he received a telegram from His Majesty, ordering the meritorious officers and soldiers from the Japanese dispatched army to participate in the military parade in Nanjing, and he himself was also appointed as the commander-in-chief of the military parade. Subsequently, he spent a week to transfer the meritorious officers and soldiers from various units, and then immediately left for the country.

And the navy sent a high-speed training fleet to help the army transport the participating officers and soldiers back to China, and even did not hesitate to send warships to buy enough time. Then, after the troops arrived in Nanjing, they held a military parade training in the barracks of the First Division of the Royal Guards Army. Just two days ago, at midnight, they joined the army. After the police imposed a ban on Guangfu Avenue, the army held a general rehearsal on Guangfu Avenue. In a short period of time, all the mixed groups have trained very well, and today... "It's the mule or the horse that is going to pull out!"

While sighing in his heart, Xiao Yuren looked at the sky again without worry. I hope... In a clear dynasty, the citizens of Nanjing and especially those students are showing a happy face with high emotions, holding a large number of slogans and placards, singing patriotic songs or war songs, and taking the road of restoration to the two All the sidewalks on the side are crowded. The wave of joy and the "Long live" cheers of Zhu Jie echoed in the air.

At this time, the spirit of unity unfolded by this cheer makes people feel that this new country has an invincible force.

At nine o'clock sharp, in the camp of the first division of the Guards at the foot of the shogunate mountain, Xiao Yiren rode on the black Don hippo. Compared with the white horse, he preferred the black horse. At this time, 15,000 officers and soldiers from the garrison and various troops stationed in the northeast had lined up in a phalanx on the barracks training ground.

In Xiao Yi's training, I only heard a clear command.

"Recommory troops, stand upright!"

With the sound of a shot, 15,000 officers and soldiers were upright.

At this time, the clock of the Nanjing Bell Tower is ringing at nine o'clock.

Naturally, Xiao Yu, who was riding on the horse's back, was nervous and excited... Riding a war horse to the troops, presented in front of him were the military flags of various troops. They had inspired the troops to completely defeat the enemy. They were the faces of the soldiers who had been tempered by the war, and the eyes that showed joy. The new military uniforms worn by the soldiers are shining on the military uniform.

All of this constitutes a touching and unforgettable scene. When reviewing the troops and greeting the troops, Xiao Qianren saw the sun shining on the brim of the soldier's hat, and under the military hat were resolute and happy faces. Looking at these young and resolute faces, Xiao Yu's heart a little regret. In the past two years, more than 300,000 Guangfu troops and guards have sacrificed in the battle to restore the nation and defend the interests of the motherland. They failed to live this happy day and live to celebrate victory.

"Start and go!"

As Xiao Yijin raised his whip and rode out of the barracks and walked towards Guangfu Avenue. In front of him, the military band had played the solemn and majestic music of the "Imperial Guards March". Every emperor [***] will feel extremely cordial when he hears this song.

At the moment when the troops left the barracks, the crowded citizens immediately shouted loudly on both sides of the sidewalk outside the gate of the barracks.

"The Guard!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Guardians"

In the cheers of all the people, the military parade infantry march towards the Avenue of Guangfu under the guidance of the military band. Whenever they appear in the sight of the citizens, there will always be a wave of cheers.

Under the bright summer sun in Nanjing. Chen Moran, standing on the inspection platform in front of the palace, stood there in an army uniform, waiting to review his army. This was the first time that the Royal Guards had been inspected by the "Soldier Emperor" in the capital.

Under the high temperature of up to 36 degrees, members of the Cabinet of the Royal Guards Department, the Army and Navy Staff Department and the Political Axe, the advisory members of the Consultative House, members of Nanjing academics and other commercial and industrial social organizations, vassal envoys, foreign ambassadors to China, consuls, all stood on the viewing platform on both sides of the inspection platform, etc. Waiting to watch the first military parade of the Chinese Empire.

At this time, for most of the spectators, they are full of excitement. Two years ago, this nation was enslaved by aliens, and the country was also enslaved by aliens and powers.

However, in just two years, everything changed. First, the nation won liberation, followed by nearly a million troops in the battle in the northeast, expelled the two countries of Japan and Russia fighting in the northeast, and recovered all the rights and interests of the northeast, and even once occupied half of North Korea, more than 100,000 military corpses on the battlefield, and finally under the request for peace. Despite the withdrawal from North Korea, Taiwan was recovered.

Subsequently, in the case of irrepresentation, the inferior navy annippled the joint fleet in the South China Sea, and then landed on the mainland! In this process, China's international status has risen rapidly, and the European power Germany and China have become equal allies, which is a reflection of the rise of international status.

It seems that after the 260 years of national fall, China has sounded the drum of rejuvenation, and the whole world will witness the strength of this country in the future!

On Guangfu Avenue, with the shouts and cheers in the distance, the anxious people stood on tiptoe and pricked up their ears. They didn't care about the scorching sun on their heads or wipe the sweat on their foreheads. They listened anxiously to the cheers and shouts from Guangfu Avenue all the way.

Even in the air, the deafening sound of boots can be faintly heard in the air when the guards' boots stepped on the ground, as if it came from the air and echoed in everyone's chest.

But on such a jubilant occasion, there are still some people's faces look gloomy and even a little gloomy. For some constitutionalists in China, this military parade is more about your majesty himself, demonstrating to the consultative house and to the constitution. What does this military parade show?

"Your Majesty's military power!"

Standing on the auditorium, Yang Du thought about five words in his heart. Now almost all the newspapers of the country can see these five big words. The Chinese people themselves have a strong nostalgic complex, from the "Great Qin Empire" that created the earth, to the "Great Han Empire" that created the name of the nation, to the "Four Come to the Courts from the Four Sides in the Tang Dynasty" in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and then to the "Returning Heart of All Seas" in the Ming Dynasty. This page of history is glorious and brilliant, and the Chinese people can't be full of the glorious past. Read.

Two hundred and sixty-two years ago, China's land sinking and Chinese orthodoxy were enslaved by aliens. The Chinese people became slaves of barbarians and were stained with barbarians. Sixty-four years ago, the gate of the country was opened for the Westerners. The Western powers and the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty joined hands to enslave the people of the imperial dynasty, after 260 years of suffering and humiliation.

The "Han complex" and "Heavenly dynasty complex" seem to have revived the desire for rejuvenation of this country and nation. For thousands of years, the "Holy King's complex" that has been lingering in the hearts of the Chinese people has finally been the most fully released at this time. In the eyes of everyone, the heroic and wise majesty is undoubtedly the return of China. The only reason to be a powerful country.

"Your Majesty has given us hope that China will become a powerful country again!"

Standing there and looking at the excited people, Song Jiaoren's mind came up with a sentence he had read in the newspaper. He knew that for many people, His Majesty is holy and will never make mistakes. It is His Majesty who has achieved everything today. It is His Majesty who has led this country to become strong. This country can have nothing else, but it cannot be without His Majesty.

"Coming! Here we go!"

At this moment, there was a huge scratch in the crowd, followed by bursts of cheers.

"Guardians! The Guards!"

"Long live the Royal Guards!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

With this earth-shaking cheer, an army suddenly entered Nanjing City from Zhonghua Gate along Guangfu Avenue, and a dark green army was reflected in people's sight! Everyone's eyes turned in that direction, and all the cheers were sent there.

In the buildings on both sides of the street, there are national flags hanging everywhere. The huge national flags are hanging from the roof. The smaller national flag is stretched out by the flagpole and inserted in the window. In this cheers, the young girls crowded on both sides of the roadside sidewalk are constantly throwing flowers at the soldiers who are walking neatly.

Under the guidance of the military band, the first one is Xiao Yiren, who is riding a black war horse. Among the Imperial Royal Guards, perhaps he is the only one who is famous. He once commanded the troops to win the Northeast Neutral Campaign, and this time he commanded the troops to land in the four countries, in less than one In the middle of the month, he occupied the whole territory of the four countries and successfully forced Japan to seek peace.

Xiao Qian, who was riding on the horse, looked solemn and rode the war horse. With the number of steps in the rear, there were ten rows of general officers behind him. At this time, these officers who had made great achievements in the two battles were wearing the most dazzling military uniforms, and they wore medals and battle medals on their chests. Compared with any army, the Royal Guard is undoubtedly young, and this youth is more reflected in the age of the officers of these armies. Few of these general officers see middle-aged people over 35 years old, and more young people between the age of 23 and 34 and 30 years old. They are all at the most energetic age. At this time, he They are full of the spirit of killing.

These general officers in black horse boots kicked forward with the majestic military music when they approached the "positive step line" with the moment when the military band played the Imperial March. The neat military boots knocked on the cement pavement of the square, and for a moment, the sound of the boots and the majestic march echoed over Nanjing!

"Our China will be strong again, from Anxi to the Whale Sea, from the North Sea to the South Sea, China, China! Our sacred motherland! Our China will be strong again, and all nations have to face this fact, China! China! Will create glory again..."

At this time, a sudden song came from the sidewalk in the distance. Listening to the majestic song, Chen Moran couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound. There stood a group of young people in black student clothes, their students from various universities in Nanjing. Their songs were... The lyrics were very strange. But the tune is very familiar.

"Yes..."

While there was doubt in his heart, Chen Moran looked at Ji Li, who was standing beside him.

"The tune of the imperial march?"

Ji Li was also stunned. She was very familiar with the "Emperial March" without lyrics, and even the score was handwritten by her. Of course, it was after Chen Moran hummed that tune, and this "Emperial March" has been played on the day of the throne. Known for his hot blood, I don't know how many people have wanted to write lyrics for this song.

But there has never been a suitable word, but today, the lyrics sung by those young students are... "China wants to let the four parties congratulate..."

This word... Listening to the lyrics, Chen Moran couldn't help but feel a little proud. From Anxi to the Whale Sea, from the North Sea to the Southern Ocean, this word... Well, I like it!

"We China will be strong again, and all nations have to face this fact, China! China! It will create glory again, and China wants to let the four parties congratulate..."

Accompanied by the majestic "Imperial March" and the lyrics sung by those students, the cheers of the people have reached the peak. The receiving troops finally appeared in front of them. Behind the official army, there is the Guards Army composed of the Northeast Army of the Royal Guards Army and the troops stationed in Japan. The first mixed group.

The soldiers wore brand-new military uniforms, flat-hanging rifles, all with knives. The nickel-plated bayonets reflected dazzling light in the midsummer sun, which made everyone almost unable to open their eyes. And in the phalanx, young faces are full of pride and pride. Their expression is tight, walking in front of the people and in front of their majesty.

"Salute to Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yu, who was riding on horseback, suddenly shouted when he approached the auditorium. At the same time, he turned to the direction of His Majesty's standing and made a military salute. The subsequent officers trembled with excitement when they saluted. They looked at your majesty, who was the majesty of the soldiers and also their majesty.

Their majesty has never owed them, just like the promise he has made, "All the generals and soldiers give it with loyalty, and I also return it with loyalty! The generals and soldiers will not live up to me, and I will not live up to the generals and soldiers."

"Salute to the Royal Guards!"

After responding with a solemn expression, Chen Moran saluted the officers and soldiers.

"Salute to Your Majesty!"

At this time, dozens of planes in the air were lined up in groups of three planes and nine teams were lined up at low altitude. The ambassadors of various countries on the auditorium, especially those military officers, became serious when they saw these planes. When the nearly 60 planes flew above their heads, they seemed to be Remind him that it is no accident that this country and this army can win. They rely on a modern army.

They have the most machine guns, the most cannons, and 80% of the world's aircraft. When the planes of various countries are just "the toys of the rich", the Chinese have already used planes on the battlefield.

"At least they are our allies, not our enemies! With this ally, we can win the war in the future!"

The German military officer in China whispered in his heart. At this time, he was even grateful for Germany's wisdom. When Germany faced the crisis of fighting on two fronts, Germany wisely chose an eastern partner, and this seemingly backward ally had an army that could not be despised by any country.

"China and Germany..."

Compared with Germans, British and Americans are witnessing this military parade, thinking about where the country will go and what impact their alliance with Germany will have on the future, especially on Britain.

"China..."

Looking silently at the [***] team passing by with the sound of boots in front of him, Zhu Erdian could vaguely guess that the purpose of the emperor's military parade was not only to send a signal to other countries, but also to the country. The emperor's power came from the army and was also rooted in the army. Team, as long as the army is loyal to the soldier's emperor, then no one can regret his power.

"This...this is the army of the heavenly dynasty!"

Li Xi, standing on the auditorium, the king of China's only vassal state, looked at the army in front of him with his eyes wide open and blinked several times to confirm that it was not a dream. When the sound of boots stirred in his heart, he couldn't help but be grateful for his shrewdness. Otherwise... For the ideas of others caused by this military parade, he acted at the officers and soldiers. Chen Moran, who is in military salute, is not clear. At this time, looking at the army he created by himself, Chen Moran's heart is more proud. This is his real foundation. As long as he has them, he can have power. It is their sacrifice that pushes his reputation to the peak!

I won this battle again. As long as this army loyal to itself is there, China will become stronger step by step, and its own power will become more and more stable with the victory of this army!
