Destroy the Sun Chapter 105 The Tomb of the Great
.If I hadn’t changed history, would this place encounter that historical disaster 8 years later? How terrifying the scene was when the quaint street in front of me became a hell on earth!
Looking at the late autumn scenery outside the car window that can be described as "unique", Chen Tian couldn't help but think so. At this moment, the luxurious convoy was driving on the road paved with square bricks. Towering towering trees could be seen everywhere on the roadside. Not far away, the stone tablets, stone sculptures, pavilions and temples of different ages were vaguely visible. The natural environment and unique historical sites were perfectly integrated here, which also made Chen Tian feel a sense of melancholy pride deep in his heart.
The source of melancholy comes from the Mercedes-Benz bulletproof sedan less than ten meters ahead. There is a controversial figure sitting there, a ruler who says "You must first calm the country when fighting foreign countries" and "It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go."
At this time, more than 500,000 Chinese troops were fighting bloody battles with the invaders, and a large area of rivers and mountains returned to their motherland. However, behind this wonderful scene was the cloud of civil war that could befall at any time. The last reorganized German armored division was transferred to central China, and a large number of infantry divisions equipped with standard German equipment were also gathering in that direction.
But as we all know, there are no foreign enemies there.
Chen Tian knew very well the role of these armies. Although the current situation had long deviated from history, the flames of revolution will come sooner or later, and perhaps even Germany is no exception.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Purple Mountain is in front of you! This Purple Mountain is also known as Zhongshan. Its mountain is steep and its vegetation is lush. There are many famous places and historical sites here. Our northeast is the tomb of the founding emperor and empress of the Ming Dynasty in China, called the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum; not far from the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is our first destination for this trip - Zhongshan Mausoleum. Their "father of the Nation" is buried here!"
The person in charge of explaining to Chen Tian and his wife was Oliver Rudel, the German Ambassador to China, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a thin figure. The first impression of this ambassador is that he has a scholarly temperament, but don’t be deceived by this weak scholar’s face. He is not only a full-time diplomat, but also a senior intelligence officer of the Royal Bat Legion. The former Bat Legion was upgraded to the Royal Bat Legion in 1915. While expanding personnel, it also successively merged a large number of intelligence resources left over from the era of William II.
Chen Tian didn't make a sound, but Juliana, who was beside him, suddenly interrupted:
"Sun Yat-sen? Oh, I've heard of this name! He should be the most famous figure in China!"
"Yes, His Highness, he is considered the greatest person in modern China. He has been working hard to build a democratic country with nation, civil rights and people's livelihood!"
The German who has lived in China for more than 7 years may not be able to say all the dynasties in China. But when it comes to Sun Yat-sen, his words are full of respect.
"Rudel!" Chen Tian called out.
"Yes, your Majesty!"
"Have you ever met Sun Yat-sen himself?"
Rudel replied without hesitation: "Yes, your Majesty, I met once 6 years ago!"
"You are very lucky!" Chen Tian said calmly.
"Uh... Your Majesty, yes! I think so!"
The two had a brief conversation and thoughtful heart-to-heart. Only Juliana, who was sitting aside, was a little confused. A former Dutch princess' attention to the East, especially China, would not be as profound as she thought about it.
After a while, the convoy stopped in front of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and the first thing that was presented to everyone was a tall granite archway.
"Fengai!" Chen Tian gently read out the two golden characters on the archway. Fengai is the essence of Sun Yat-sen's spirit and ideals.
Although he was surprised that his emperor could read these two words, Rudel lowered his head slightly.
Not far away, Lao Jiang, dressed in military uniform, got out of the car and walked to Chentian with a group of officials.
"The founding father of the country is buried here and the founder of the Party!"
Although China's itinerary was originally the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, but it was not placed first at the beginning, the German side then proposed to visit the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum first and then go to the bedside. In this way, Chiang Kai-shek knew that there was no need to introduce it. Then he stretched his left palm upwards towards the direction of the archway, indicating that Chen Tian would go first.
Chen Tian didn't give much humility, and nodded slightly. He held Juliana and walked towards the long and wide tomb behind the archway.
Lao Jiang did not "are willing to be the last one", but walked almost horizontally on the left side of Chentian.
In addition to briefly stopping at the stele gate and the pavilion, Chen Tian always remained silent, and Julianna also maintained a decent and solemn expression when she grew up in the royal family.
Starting from the archway to the sacrificial hall, there are 392 stone steps and 8 platforms. It is not easy to climb so many stone steps. After walking up in one breath, the lack of exercise behind Lao Jiang was already out of breath. However, after they walked through this long and steep stone steps, they probably wouldn't remember the will in the "Prime Minister's Will" that "Xin Ming has not succeeded yet, and comrades still need to work hard."
For Chen Tian and his wife who insisted on exercising every day, after walking these steps, their faces turned slightly red. While taking a break, Chen Tian raised his head and looked at the great man's sacrificial hall. There are three arches of the sacrificial hall, and the door notes say "ethnicity", "civil rights" and "people's livelihood". The lintel of the sacrificial hall is engraved with the four big words "Heaven and Earth Righteousness" written by Sun Yat-sen.
With great reverence, Chen Tian and his party walked into the sacrificial hall accompanied by the host. In the middle of the sacrificial hall was a vivid and vivid marble sitting statue, which is said to be the masterpiece of the world-famous sculptor Paul Landowsky. There are reliefs around the stone statue that reflects Mr. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary deeds. The marble on the east and west walls of the sacrificial hall was carved with Sun Yat-sen's handwritten works "Outline of the Founding of the Country" and the "Prime Minister's Will" written by Hu Hanmin and others.
