emperor!
empire!
These few seemingly simple words are actually as important as a thousand stones. If it weren't for thinking too much, maybe it wouldn't be a big deal.
After I die, even if there is a flood!
This is the true nature of an emperor.
But it’s actually that simple!
That night, Zhu Xianhai suffered from insomnia. Throughout the second half of the night, he stood by the balcony and stared out the window at the wilderness.
This was Buenos Aires, and once again, he seemed to feel like he was back ten years ago.
The day he first came to this era was September 1860. At that time, he never thought that one day he would achieve the great achievements he has today.
What were you thinking about at that time?
At most, they can live a dull life, and at most, they can just covet the beauty of Sister Monica.
Then what?
Step by step we have come to the present, now in April of 1870!
Nine years and seven months!
From the initial existential crisis to the current empire.
"I created all of this. In this case, your will is everything!"
That’s right!
Zhu Xianhai pressed the cigarette butt hard on the stone balcony handrail, then walked out of the room. As soon as he went out, he gave instructions to the attendants outside the door.
"Prepare the car and go to the Martyrs' Shrine."
Before the weather cleared, three "Maxima" cars, escorted by two Liberation Vehicles, drove out of the manor. These cars were gifts to Zhu Xianhai from the automobile company, which also brought his camp into the automobile age.
Although the road was a bit bumpy, the car arrived at the Martyrs' Shrine in the early morning.
Martyrs' Shrine.
After entering Buenos Aires and learning that 5,867 officers and soldiers were killed, Zhu Xianhai ordered the construction of a Martyrs' Shrine outside the city to worship and bury the fallen soldiers.
At the beginning, the Martyrs' Shrine was just an ordinary cemetery with a Chinese-style ancestral hall. In fact, Nanhua had built the Martyrs' Shrine a long time ago - during the expedition to Araucania, the Martyrs' Shrine was built at that time.
The temple is used to bury fallen soldiers. When entering Chile, many martyrs' temples were also built in Chile.
Since ancient times, China has had the habit of setting up temples to worship loyal ministers and martyrs in the capital and local areas, such as various Zhongmarty Temples, Zhaozhong Temples, Zhongmarty Temples, Baozhong Temples, etc. And Nanhua has also inherited this tradition.
Although the scale of the Martyrs' Shrine in Putrajaya is much larger than that in Linhai, it is equivalent to the size of the main hall of a large temple. Its main hall and the large archway at the entrance have only just begun to build the foundation. According to the plan, the entire Martyrs' Shrine will be
It will be completed within the year. But even so, in the lush grass, you can still see white lines, which are tombstones, and the fallen soldiers have been buried here.
Like those in Nanhua Cemetery, these tombstones are all facing the direction of China, which is a reflection of not forgetting their homeland. Including the Martyrs' Shrine, they are also facing China. Chinese people always miss their hometown, and they may not be able to return to their hometown.
But after death, their tombstones faced China. Even after death, they still looked at their homeland and Tangshan.
In the early morning, Zhu Xianhai walked silently through the cemetery. He occasionally cast his eyes on the tombstones.
The name and place of birth of the deceased are engraved on the white tombstone.
"Martyr Erhai, the late grandson of Hangzhou, 1845-1870..."
"Martyr Zhao Fengshou from Huai'an 1840-1870"
Although there are only a few simple words, it means that young people in their prime died on the battlefield. Why did they sacrifice?
For Nan Hua.
Just for military pay?
No, it is for China's promised land on this continent.
In order to allow millions of Chinese people to survive on this land, in order to survive on this land and make this the promised land of China, I don’t know how many people will die.
Indeed, it is indeed time to establish a country. Why should we establish a country when facing foreign invasion in the simulator? In fact, it is to unite everyone. To call on everyone to resist the invaders in the name of the country.
nation!
It seems to be just two words, but in fact, it is true that what can unite people's hearts the most is the country. They are the heroes who sacrificed for the country and the nation. They are the heroes who will be remembered by the world!
They are the heroes who pay tribute in the name of the country.
"It's for this country!"
Zhu Xianhai murmured to himself.
"After I die, even if the floods surge into the sky, how can I be worthy of you?"
With his right hand on the tombstone, Zhu Xianhai frowned. At this moment, he seemed to have the answer in his heart. His right hand gently stroked the smooth tombstone. Finally, he nodded heavily and said to himself
Said to himself.
"Okay, rest in peace, don't worry, this empire will last for generations to come!"
After talking to himself like this, he stood in the cemetery for a while and thought about it. He looked around the cemetery and the main hall of Chung Martyr's Shrine in the distance, which was very ordinary in size, and then said to himself.
"Perhaps, a Martyrs' Shrine for national sacrifices should be built here."
What is a national festival? It is the highest-level place for worshiping national remembrance. A Martyrs' Shrine of this scale is definitely not possible. The scale of the Martyrs' Shrine must be grand enough. Otherwise, how can it be worthy of such a level?
With this thought in his mind, Zhu Xianhai's brows wrinkled again.
He discovered another problem - the capital!
Where should the capital of Nanhua be?
It is easy to ascend the throne, but the question is where should the capital be located?
From an emotional point of view, Nanhua City is of course the best choice. That city was created by Zhu Xianhai and is where his foundation lies. But from a geographical point of view, it is not quite a capital city, not because it is close to the sea, but because it is close to the sea.
This is because of its southern location.
What about Buenos Aires?
This city is known as the "Little Paris of South America". As soon as the idea came to mind, Zhu Xianhai immediately rejected it. Not only because this is a hostile city!
The most fundamental reason is the geographical location.
Just considering the huge territory of Nanhua, the capital should be established in the central hinterland of the north - this is for the development of the inland. Both Nanhua and Buenos Aires are too close to the ocean, and Nanhua also has
The vast inland areas need development.
"It's a bit difficult to handle!"
Even after returning to the manor, Zhu Xianhai was still troubled by this problem, because he was about to ascend the throne but did not have a suitable capital.
"Where is the right place?"
Standing in front of the map, Zhu Xianhai stared at the map and searched there. Finally, his eyes fell on a city. After hesitating for a while, he said to himself.
"After all, this is not the land of Nanhua, right?"
Zhu Xianhai frowned as he stared at Asuncion on the map. Asuncion is the capital of Paraguay and was the capital of the Viceroyalty of La Plata in South America as early as 1580.
The capital of the Viceroyalty of La Plata... From a geographical point of view, it is really good! Not only is it located in the hinterland, it is conducive to the development of the inland, but sea ships can be traced directly from Buenos Aires to Asunción.
.
However, after all, this city was founded by the Spanish. Is it appropriate to be the capital of Nanhua?
However, the locals have a good impression of the South Chinese people!
Apart from South China, there are not many cities like Asunción that are as fond of South Chinese people.
But the biggest problem is that the capital of Paraguay is a foreign country...
