Episode 14 War Opening Speech

Liaoyang Princess Mansion.

More than twenty "maids" packed their luggage silently and gathered in the front hall. Fourteen Gege stood aside apologetically, looking at them friendly.

"Your Highness, take care."

The maids bowed deeply to her neatly.

Fourteen Gege also returned the gift solemnly:

"You guys should also take care... We are fighting now, so be sure to pay attention to safety when you go outside."

Watching all the maids disappear into the flower path in the front yard, an extreme excitement surged through Shirteen Gege's body.

An empty front hall, an empty nave, an empty back yard.

She yelled, spinning around in the empty hall, stretching her wide sleeves and dancing, shouting:

"Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu! Come out quickly, we are free! We are free!!"

Xiao Wu rushed out from behind, and Shi Shi Ge Ge hugged her. The two held hands and spun around wildly. Shi Shi Ge Ge laughed loudly, and Xiao Wu couldn't stop laughing. She hadn't seen Her Royal Highness the Princess so happy for a long time.

"Plop", both of them fell to the floor, Fourteen Gege was still laughing.

"Okay, from now on," Fourteen Gege sat up and the arrogant smile returned to his face, "I am still Fourteen Gege!"

Xiaowu got up, raised his face and asked excitedly:

"Then your highness the princess doesn't need to wear Hanfu anymore, right?"

"Hey, why don't you wear it? It looks pretty."

"Then can we wear kimonos?"

"Xiaowu, Xiaowu," Shi Shigege tapped her head and said with a smile, "Identity does not depend on what you are wearing, but what is in your head. Do you understand?"

Xiao Wu smiled and nodded.

"Go," Shi Shigege patted her butt, "bring me champagne! Let's drink it!"

"Hai!"

Xiaowu happily got up and ran to the back.

No one is watching anymore, it feels so good! Fourteen Gege lay on the floor like a child, resting his elbows on the brocade cushion and supporting his chin.

Her plan actually succeeded! The luckiest thing is that it was successful on the first try! Originally, she wanted to do it a few more times in a subtle way. It seems that Zhu Yourong is really a kind girl. She just pities those who were wrongly accused.

I am a female agent from Dongchang. I wonder if my future will be affected after I return.

He successfully drove Dongchang out of his home. Although he was replaced by people from the People's Guard, they were only bodyguards and the maids were ordinary. Moreover, when the People's Guard was first established, it was not as difficult to deal with as Dongchang. Of course,

There is another point, which may not be so important: Xiang Xiaoqiang is not as annoying as those female agents from Dongchang. Although this guy is very smart, he is a kind guy and a compassionate guy. Well, that is to say,

That guy is really not that annoying.

There was a coughing sound from behind.

Fourteen Gege turned around and saw Xiang Xiaoqiang, dressed in military uniform, standing at the entrance of the living room, taking off his coat, hat and gloves.

"Why, your Royal Highness, won't you invite me to sit down?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled, with the same sense of accomplishment as hers.

Fourteen Gege jumped up, stepped forward with a smile, took his coat with her own hands, and hung it on the hanger.

"Oh, how can this happen," Xiang Xiaoqiang was flattered, "Her Royal Highness the Princess personally... This is really embarrassing for me..."

Fourteen giggled and said:

"Haha, Mr. Xiang, please don't do this with me. I really want to thank you... Oh, you said that His Majesty had to replace all the maids, and it wouldn't be a big deal... Haha, now except for the little one,

Five, I don’t even have anyone on hand to order..."

Xiang Xiaoqiang walked slowly to the tea table with her, sat down and said with a smile:

"The new maids will probably be dispatched tomorrow, so today I have no choice but to grievance Your Highness. As for protecting the princess's palace, I dispatched two mobile platoons, more than fifty people, who are already outside and are settling in the servants' dormitories. They

Not only are they responsible for security work, but His Highness can also give them orders for any rough work in the future. My People's Guard soldiers, Your Highness, can rest assured that they will be loyal and disciplined. I have also told you that Your Highness's identity cannot be leaked. Save

Those paparazzi are looking for trouble... Besides, now that the war has begun, His Highness's identity may attract a lot of hatred..."

Shi Shi Ge Ge made a gesture, lowered his head and said:

"No need to say it, don't talk about this, let's not talk about this... I believe that Sir Xiang's guards can protect me."

After drinking a few glasses of champagne at the princess's residence, Xiang Xiaoqiang watched his guards settle down in the dormitory. After giving a lecture, he went into the house and said goodbye to Shi Shigege before leaving.

When he went out, Shi Shigege helped him put on his coat and handed him his hat and gloves. Xiang Xiaoqiang naturally put on his coat and hat and gloves. He woke up only when he went out and got in the car.

...Damn, what the hell is going on! Why does it feel so natural?

Anyway, the Fourteenth Princess is now under her control. The guards sent to the Princess Mansion must catch them frequently, and they cannot be allowed to turn into Fourteenth Princess over time. She is fully capable of this. It could have been

A rotation system is adopted, but now the number of people with knowledge must be controlled, and it can only be this group of people. It seems that it is safer to let several of his confidants take turns to come here to be the captain of the guard. And the "maid" of Dongchang

The difference is that these guards can only monitor the outside of the house and generally cannot enter the room. Alas, just leave the indoor space to her.

…

There were no large-scale attacks by the Qing army on this day. There were only sporadic air battles over the Yangtze River and over Nanjing. Both sides were testing each other's technology and wanted to find out the other's overall level.

The Ming army aircraft were in the south, and they could fight from south to north. They could always get out of the dazzling sunlight, which was cheaper. With this move, several Qing army aircraft were shot down. However, in the afternoon, the sun was westward,

Some pilots of the Qing Army also learned this trick, and some Ming Army aircraft were shot down. Generally speaking, the Ming Army aircraft had a slight advantage. In addition, the air battle was mainly conducted over Nanjing, and most of the Ming Army pilots who were shot down could

After receiving treatment, they would be able to fly again soon, but the Qing pilots who were shot down would never return.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and the People's Guard headquarters was still brightly lit and busy. However, all the windows were tightly blocked with thick curtains.

Today is the first day of the war, and the headquarters is extremely busy. In the commander's office, Xiang Xiaoqiang and Qiu Qiu did not go to the restaurant to eat. Instead, they asked someone to bring food to them.

Answer the phone and sign orders.

"Oh, that's right," Xiang Xiaoqiang slapped his forehead and looked at the wall clock, "It's already eight o'clock. Come on, turn on the radio. His Majesty is addressing the nation!"

Qiu Qiu became energetic, ran to the wall, turned on the desktop radio, and asked:

"Is this the manuscript you wrote for His Majesty?"

"Haha, be strict with your mouth and don't talk about it everywhere."

…

In the Fengtian Hall of the Forbidden City, the broadcast microphone has been connected. The microphone is placed on the dragon table, a circular metal ring with a microphone in the middle.

The director of the radio station next to him had already debugged the line and tested the effect. Seeing that the pointer had reached eight o'clock, he put down the head of the record player next to him. After a burst of grand and elegant music, the director lifted the head.

The announcer stepped forward and said solemnly:

"Listeners, below is our beloved Majesty, speaking for us."

Then he bowed deeply to Zhu Yourong and stepped aside. Zhu Yourong smiled at him, stood in front of the microphone, glanced at the manuscript on the table, and said slowly:

"All the people of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the army and navy, today, on January 5, 1936 AD, the Qing captives attacked us..."

…

On the streets of Nanjing, pedestrians stopped one after another to listen to the voice coming from the loudspeaker high up.

In Xinjiekou Square, in front of the Memorial Monument for the Fall of Jiangbei, a large number of people and flowers gathered. People raised their heads and listened to the sounds coming from the loudspeakers around them.

The homes of Nanjing citizens and the dormitories of various universities were crowded with people in front of the radios, listening in silence.

In the reinforced concrete fortifications along the Yangtze River defense line, the artillerymen wearing helmets also listened to the sound of the loudspeakers above their heads. In the traffic tunnels connecting the various fortifications, the guards guarding the tunnels also listened to the sounds echoing in the tunnels.

…

"...But as you have seen, the so-called 'offensive' started with an hour-long intensive shelling of urban civilians, targeting unarmed people. In this hour, the northern part of Nanjing became...

... turned into a hell. All the buildings fell down, and all the buildings were engulfed in fire. Qinglu specially chose to bombard those innocent citizens in the early morning, when people were sleeping most soundly.

When they woke up, their home, their parents, wives and children were all buried in the burning ruins...

"Today, a steady stream of dead and wounded civilians have been carried out. Now in the east and south of Nanjing, the streets have been stretched out with tents, filled with the wounded who narrowly escaped with their lives under the bombardment. I arrived this afternoon

Visiting these tents, my heart still hurts even now. Those broken arms and limbs, the blurred flesh and blood... Some are already dying, and some are still screaming. But I know that their bodies are hurting,

My heart hurts even more! Even if they managed to escape from the ruins, they already have no home and no relatives... I have just received preliminary statistics that early this morning, an hour of brutal shelling by the Qing captives caused the death toll in northern Nanjing.

More than 10,000 houses collapsed in western China, and more than 5,000 innocent civilians died. Now more than 2,000 seriously injured civilians have been sent in...

"...Now in the twentieth century, in this era of global civilization, any kind person in any corner of the world, hearing of such inhumane atrocities, will ask: Why? Why does this kind of tragedy happen? What do they want to do? What else do they want to do?

Is there any humanity?... Kind-hearted people, they don’t know what kind of beast lurks on the other side of the Ming Dynasty... But we know! Because we have been fighting with this beast for three hundred years and know its temper.

"Since 1616, when the slave chief Nurhachi rebelled and massacred the Han people in Liaodong, until the slave chief Fulin entered the pass in a bloody manner, and on the 10th day of his arrival in Yangzhou, there were three massacres in Jiading, the massacre in Suzhou, the massacre in Nanchang, the massacre in Ganzhou, and the massacre in Jiangyin.

, the massacre in Kunshan, the massacre in Jiaxing, the massacre in Haining, the massacre in Jinan, the massacre in Jinhua, the massacre in Xiamen, the massacre in Chaozhou, the massacre in Yuanjiang, the massacre in Zhoushan, the massacre in Xiangtan, the massacre in Sichuan, the massacre in Nanxiong,

The Massacre of Jingxian County, the Massacre of Datong, the Massacre of Fenzhou, the Massacre of Taigu, the Massacre of Mizhou, and the Massacre of Zezhou. In the Ming Dynasty, which originally had a population of 51.65 million, only 10.63 million people were massacred by them...

We know that in their view, massacre is just the most common thing, just like eating and sleeping. The only difference is that they used knives before and now they use cannons.
