267 Killing the Captives
"Boom boom boom" there were three more cannons, and they were heard from afar. Seeing the emperor leading civil and military officials to stand towards the Ministry of War, the people knew that the loyal and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty were coming. Suddenly, they all turned around and stood there, looking at the other side with curiosity.
The people standing on the Ministry of War's Office first saw the gate of the Ministry of War's Office open, and then slowly walked out of the rows of soldiers from the Beijing camp.
They were in a row of ten people, which seemed to be about the same height. They were all wearing brand new military uniforms and looked solemn. Each of them held a spirit card in their hands, which seemed to be heavy, and seemed to be extremely expensive, which made them walk very carefully and step by step.
Whenever they walked a few steps forward, the soldiers and soldiers of the five cities who were martially sternly saluted and saluted for loyalty and martyrdom, while the people saluted solemnly with a look on their faces.
Some of these loyal and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty were soldiers killed in the battle of defense of the capital. Therefore, some of the people who were loyal and martyrs were relatives of those loyal and martyrs, and their eyes were still filled with tears and their expressions were a little excited.
The soldiers holding the spirit card slowly came to the square, and stood in front of the Zhonglie Hall of the Ming Dynasty on the open space on one side of the civil and military officials, standing in front of the emperor with a vertical pole.
By the time they were all in their seats, more than an hour had passed. During this process, Emperor Chongzhen had basically never moved, let alone drinking water, tea and sit down. However, some people in the team of civil and military officials could not stand.
There are always some people in the capital who are watching the emperor and the civil and military officials. After seeing the comparison, they have gained a new understanding of the emperor's importance to this matter and are secretly surprised and their favorability has increased again.
Seeing that everyone was standing, the chief minister bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and then shouted: "Prepare to raise the national flag!"
When I heard this, let alone those people watching the courtesy, even many people were surprised by the civil and military officials. The previous decree said that the yamen had to raise the national flag and sing the national anthem, starting with the Zhonglie Hall of the Ming Dynasty? This matter is really new, but what's the use?
Under the curiosity of most people, a row of people came out of the Zhonglie Hall of the Ming Dynasty. The leader was a Jinyiwei Qianhu, holding a stacked cloth in both hands and walking with a solemn expression. There were three Jinyiwei and three Dongchang soldiers, all holding knife handles in their hands, protecting the Jinyiwei Qianhu with majestic support.
Liu Laosan has a better position, right in front of the passage, behind the guards of Jinyi's personal army, looking at the cloth a little bit rare, guessing in his heart that it was the national flag? The national flag of the Ming Empire?
Although the imperial court had announced it before and there were seals in paper money, most people had never seen it. One was ordinary people, and the other was only a small number of soldiers. I have only heard of the national flag and the national anthem.
Seeing the Jinyiwei Qianhu walking to the platform where the emperor was and standing under the vertical pole for a while, everyone suddenly realized that this was a flagpole, which was used to hang the national flag.
A Jinyiwei School Captain and a Dongchang Fanfu took a step forward and helped the Jinyiwei Qianhu to start tying the flags. After everything was ready, Emperor Chongzhen gave an order: "Rise the national flag and sing the national anthem!"
Under the leadership of the emperor, those who were close to the emperor sang together with the emperor, and then the nearby people sang together with the tune. In the end, all the civil and military officials started singing, and some soldiers and the people could sing, and they also sang along.
"If you have trouble in one side, support from all directions!"
"The whole people are united, and their strength will be cut off!"
"What's the point of being flooded in the south and drought in the north!"
“…”
Amid the gradually brightening national anthem, a flag of the bright sun and moon shining gradually rises.
At this moment, Liu Laosan stood up straight unconsciously, staring at the national flag, opening his mouth to speak, but he couldn't sing it. He felt a sense of anger in his chest, and he had never felt that he could not sing!
You must learn to sing this song quickly, otherwise, it is so embarrassing!
When the national anthem was sung, the flag of the Great Ming Moon Glory had also risen to the top of the flagpole, fluttering stubbornly in the cold wind, showing that day, that moon, and the radiance of light!
Emperor Chongzhen withdrew his gaze, turned around, faced the civil and military officials and the people who were watching the courtesy, slowly glanced at them, and then said loudly: "The national flag represents me and represents the Ming Empire! The national flag is the territory of my Ming Dynasty! The national anthem is my voice, my request to the Ming people, and my request to the Ming Empire! As long as the Ming people are, you must remember the national anthem of the Ming Dynasty and remember the meaning of the lyrics! As long as the Ming Dynasty is not destroyed, the national flag of the Ming Dynasty will always fly, and the national anthem of the Ming Dynasty will be sung forever!"
When Liu Laosan listened, he suddenly felt that he was extremely impressed by the lyrics of the national anthem and felt that the national anthem was too good! He didn't understand the great truth, but he knew that only by the same brothers and the profit of the gold could the family flourish. From this, he knew that if the unity was raised to the height of the entire Ming Dynasty, everyone could be united. There would be no one like the Shanxi merchants who should work together, and they would be afraid of the enemy and natural disasters? That would be a joke!
He was thinking, but Emperor Chongzhen was speaking again: "The Ming Dynasty devoted their precious lives to the Ming Dynasty. I remember that the Ming Dynasty also remembers that as long as the Ming Dynasty exists for one day, the Ming Dynasty will receive incense forever!"
The soldiers and the people of the Ming Dynasty had heard this and knew that the loyal and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty would live with the country. But at this time the emperor said it himself, this was absolutely extraordinary and solemn, and the weight was definitely greater than the legend. Suddenly, they were all excited. After hearing this, the families of the loyal and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty could not help but wipe away the tears that kept coming out, and talked to their lost relatives in their hearts.
Some things are the same as others say, but it is another to say them in public on grand occasions. Just like watching a movie at home and watching a movie theater, it is a completely different feeling. As a person who has passed through the souls of later generations, Emperor Chongzhen knew this very well, so he must talk about it personally on such occasions.
After saying this, he also saw that the effect was good and was satisfied. He said loudly again: "Come on, kill the enemy and sacrifice the flag, and send the Ming Dynasty's loyal and wise men into the palace!"
This order went one after another, and there were three more cannons.
Not long after, they saw each of the two soldiers of the Baigang Army dragging a Jianlu with his hands tied back and a rat-tailed Jin. Whether these Jianlu were fierce, afraid, or other expressions, they were treated the same. They were taken under the flying Ming Dynasty flag. On the edge of the Zhonglie Spirit Card, two Baigang Army soldiers served one Jianlu and knelt on the ground.
