Chapter 252 Enthroned as Emperor
On November 5, 1784, a grand worship ceremony was being held in Xiaoling Mausoleum, Nanjing City, Yingtian Prefecture.
In the morning, Zhu Haitao asked the elite cavalry of the Royal Guard Division to escort him around the city of Nanjing, so that the people in Nanjing could see how powerful and majestic the Ming army, which defeated the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, which was in their hearts, was the heavenly soldiers and generals.
He personally rode a tall horse and walked in front of the team. Although Li Degong was worried about his safety, Zhu Haitao always liked to act in person, so he arranged many elite cavalry protections from the Guard Division around him. In addition, there were a large number of Jinyiwei soldiers hidden in it on the street, and secretly observing whether there were any spies sent by the Qing Dynasty.
Fortunately, there were no problems along the way. It seemed that the Qing Dynasty retreated too embarrassingly, and they did not have the ability to assassinate Zhu Haitao here.
The people of Nanjing had just experienced a war and wanted to see what Emperor Zhu, who defeated the Qing Dynasty, looked like, so they were all empty.
Zhu Haitao wandered around Nanjing City for a long time, and finally left the city and came to Xiaoling Mausoleum.
The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum was first built in the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1381). The following year, Empress Ma passed away and was buried in this tomb in September. It was named "Xiaoling". The name of Xiaoling Mausoleum is based on the word Xiaoling in the posthumous name, which means "governing the world with filial piety". In one word, Empress Ma's posthumous name "Xiaoci", hence the name.
In the 31st year of Hongwu (1398), Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness and opened the underground palace and empress Ma to bury it together. By the 11th year of Yongle (1413), the "Ming Dynasty's Divine Achievement and Holy Demon Monument" was built. The entire Xiaoling Mausoleum was built for more than 30 years. It was large in scale, majestic in the building, and the shape was gained by reference to the tombs of the Tang and Song dynasties. When it was completed, the halls and pavilions were majestic. Half of the 70 temples in the Southern Dynasties were enclosed in the forbidden garden.
At that time, the imperial wall built from Chaoyang Gate (now Zhongshan Gate) to Xiaolingwei to the northwest of the tomb was 45 miles long, and there were more than 5,000 troops guarding the tomb. At that time, the pavilions and pavilions in the cemetery were connected, and the hall was filled with smoke, pine waves, forests, and thousands of deer heads were raised. The deer sings were extraordinary.
Introduction to the tour guide of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. In the 16th year of Hongwu (1383), the main projects of the tomb, such as the Enjoy Hall, were completed, and 100,000 yuan were successively called for military industry. It was completed in the third year of Yongle (1405), and it took 25 years. The overall layout was divided into two parts: one was the shrine that guided the building, and the other was the main building of the tomb.
In the 31st year of Hongwu (1398), Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been emperor for 31 years, died and buried Xiaolingling. The underground palace where Zhu Yuanzhang and the queen were buried together was commonly known as "Baocheng". It is a large circular mound with a diameter of about 400 meters. It is surrounded by stone walls made of stone.
This place is an extremely sacred place for the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Haitao. Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was buried here. He is a hero of the Yanxia nation and the founder of the Ming Dynasty. Here he witnessed the rise and demise of the Ming Dynasty and its current revival.
Zhu Haitao performed a three-kneeling and nine-kow ceremony to Xiaoling, and then personally posed nine incense sticks on Zhu Yuanzhang, read the oath, and made an announcement: move the capital to Nanjing and re-establish the Ming Dynasty!
At the same time, Zhu Haitao also formally decided to proclaim himself emperor and established the year name as the liberation of the Western calendar. The year 1785 of the Western calendar will become the first year of the liberation of the revival.
After reading the book, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet took the lead and said, "I congratulate you, long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
The people below knelt down one after another, shouting long live the mountain, and the voices even reached the opposite bank of the Yangtze River.
Zhu Haitao was full of passion. He had been traveling here for four years. He did what he did for the arrival of this day. But he didn't expect that he had been working hard and completed this extraordinary cause in just four years.
Now the Ming Dynasty has occupied the south of the Yangtze River, and except for Siam and Myanmar, it unified the entire South Ocean. The fleet has landed in northern Australia, so it is ready to march south along the coastline and capture the entire Australia.
After the Qing Dynasty in the north lost the entire south of the Yangtze River, it was the dead bones in the tomb. The Ming Dynasty was carrying out its first industrial revolution vigorously, and its national strength was rapidly increasing. It was only a matter of time before it could be destroyed.
The biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty now is the United States, which has the same rapid development of national strength on Europe and North America. To deal with them, we must start preparing now.
The first thing to deal with is the British who stationed troops in India and the Qing Dynasty were eyeing the Russian Empire in the north.
Zhu Haitao secretly swore in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's card: "Grandpa Taizu, bless me. I not only want to expel the Tartars and restore China, but also let the entire foreign lands be proud of China and the prestige of China in all directions, so that the entire earth can be dominated by the Ming Dynasty's banner."
Perhaps I heard Zhu Haitao’s promise that the originally gloomy weather actually dissipated at this time, and turned into a clear sky.
After the throne ceremony, Zhu Haitao immediately held a meeting in front of the imperial court.
The meeting was located in the yamen of Jiangning Mansion. Now the Ming Dynasty’s imperial palace is being built on the original ruins. It has just opened one head.
"Now the counterattack of the Qing Dynasty was crushed by our army, and the losses were extremely heavy. I guess they will send envoys to negotiate with us soon. The key point is, what will the Russians in the north of the Qing Dynasty and the British in India do to us?" Zhu Haitao raised this question.
"Your Majesty, I think with the Russian nature, they will definitely send troops. This country has unimaginable ambitions for annexing land. If you have any advantage, you will gain a little advantage. Otherwise, it would not have developed from a small country under the rule of the Mongols to such a vast area now? Their current Tsar ******* is an ambitious woman. She has launched several wars to the outside world, so she will definitely not give up the current opportunity." said Prime Minister Wu Hai. When he was in Europe, he studied Russia and discovered the evil and greedy nature of the Russians.
"Just a woman, what are we afraid of?" Li Jifa said.
"No, we can't underestimate women. Have you underestimated your boss?" Zhu Haitao asked.
"This... I'm wrong." Li Jifa said.
"This woman is very capable, we must be careful." Zhu Haitao said.
"yes!"
"In order to prepare for Russia, we must first have a military port in the north. I see that the Vladivostok in the north of North Korea is in a good location. Xue Dingyue, you will send two marine brigades to occupy that place for me. Then Li Jifa, you will send an engineer column to build it into a strong fortress. In this way, you can well stop the Russian Navy from moving south." Zhu Haitao pointed to a bay in the northeast of the Qing Dynasty and said.
