Chapter 608 Raising the National Flag and Singing the National Anthem
As Li Qi expected, when Song Huizong read the conditions proposed by the Jin Kingdom, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and praised Wang Fu fiercely without even the slightest objection. This was just like those eunuchs who saw the imperial edict and only
Kowtow to express gratitude.
As for Yunzhou and other places, if Wang Fu hadn't taken the initiative to relay He Shiliebohe's words, Song Huizong would have forgotten about it. He was always so happy about success that he arranged the signing of the covenant on the first day of August. He wanted to do it in front of
In front of the people all over the world, he accomplished this feat, even if he came back begging with his last breath, he also chose to turn a blind eye.
The first day of August.
This is undoubtedly a day destined to go down in history.
Before dawn, the Donghua Gate was already crowded with people. Among the crowd were Song Dynasty officials, dignitaries, rich men, farmers, craftsmen, etc. But now they only have one identity, and that is the people of the Song Dynasty.
The city tower was also full of people. Song Huizong was wearing a dragon robe and sitting high on a dragon chair. Wang Fu and Prince Zhao Huan were standing on his left and right respectively. His relatives, Li Bangyan, Gao Qiu and other powerful ministers, as well as He Shiliebohe and others.
The envoys of the Kingdom of Jin stood in a line on the left and right.
In addition, there is a small group of special people who stand in every corner of the square with pens and paper in their hands. These people are Chen Dong, Ouyang Che and others. They may be the first reporters in history.
Li Qi ordered them to record everything that happened this morning and not miss any details.
Li Qi, who always likes to play tricks and strategize, can't help but look extremely nervous today. He is the busiest person today. He has been here since midnight to arrange every link. He is really meticulous. At this time, he is standing under the tower.
Looking at the east, he frowned and said, "Why hasn't the damn sun risen yet? It looks like the weather isn't cloudy today."
The Chaoyang Flag naturally has to be raised at sunrise.
Anxious, Li Qi called the Si Tianjian over again and asked, "Can you do it? Why hasn't the sun risen yet? Don't dazzle me?"
The Si Tianjian smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Sir, there will be no mistakes in the safekeeping."
"Of course I can't make mistakes. If I make a mistake, I'll be finished." After saying that, Li Qi added, "You can finish faster."
The Si Tianjian smiled mischievously, and big beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks.
Li Qi ignored him and waved vigorously towards Liang Xiong.
Liang Xiong hurried forward, cupped his fists and said, "What are your orders, sir?"
Li Qi frowned and asked, "How are the flag bearers and the band prepared?"
Liang Xiong said hurriedly: "Sir, please don't worry, the flag bearers and the band are already on standby at Ma Xing Street."
Since the square in front of Donghua Gate is very close to Ma Hang Street, Li Qi arranged for the flag bearer to enter the square directly from Ma Hang Street. He also wanted to leave the suspense to the last moment.
Li Qi said angrily: "How can I rest assured? Glory and humiliation are just on this line. If anything goes wrong, it will not be a shame for me personally, but a shame for our country, the Song Dynasty. If you don't
Go and have a look.”
"Ah? I just came from that way."
Li Qi snorted: "What do you mean? I just came here and can't go to see it again? Will my legs be broken if I walk one more time?"
"Won't."
"If you don't know, just go quickly. What I want is to be foolproof."
"yes."
"What the hell? Sincerity can't get along with me, right?" Li Qi looked at Liang Xiong's back and continued to curse, which showed how nervous he was.
After a while, Si Tianjian came over again and said, "Sir, the time is coming."
Li Qi turned his head and looked to the east, only to see that the east was gradually getting brighter.
At this time, Liang Xiong also walked over quickly and said: "Master Qi, the flag bearer and band are ready."
Li Qi hummed and walked quickly towards the tower.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
Song Huizong said with a smile on his face: "My dear, please excuse yourself. I was just trying to get someone to find you. How long do we have to wait for the flag-raising ceremony?"
Li Qi hurriedly said: "It will start soon."
After a moment, a golden light shot out from the east.
Li Qi waved the little red flag in his hand.
Woo!
The horns sounded in unison.
I saw a row of soldiers on the tower holding long horns and blowing.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps was faintly heard in the distance.
Li Qidao: "Your Majesty, the flag bearer is here."
Song Huizong stood up hurriedly, came to the city wall, and stared at the corner.
Heshi Liebohe and other Jin envoys were really not interested in these things. If Song Huizong hadn't personally invited them, they would still be sleeping in bed. Last night, they all went crazy in the casino and yawned.
, looking lazily ahead.
Dong Dong.
As the sound of footsteps became louder and louder, three soldiers wearing new sky-blue military uniforms, white gloves, and black boots suddenly appeared around the corner. They walked out first in goose-step. The middle one was seen carrying a yellow and white uniform.
The big flag.
The three of them turned around neatly at the same time and walked onto the red carpet that stretched from the street corner to the flagpole. But they suddenly stopped and did not continue walking forward, but stayed where they were.
Heshi Liebohe's face tightened, and he thought to himself, the footsteps could not have come from these three people.
In less than a moment, a phalanx consisting of one hundred and eight forbidden soldiers walked in. The leader was seen holding a ceremonial knife erected in front of his chest. This man was Yue Fei's younger brother, Yue Fan. And behind him
All the people were carrying sharp spears, with the spearheads pointed toward the back and upwards.
After a brief pause, the three people walking at the front began to walk forward in goose steps.
At first, everyone didn't notice it, but when Fang Zheng approached, the deafening footsteps shocked everyone.
Children, women, and men all had their eyes fixed on the square, and the whole place could only hear the neat, thunderous footsteps.
It was like a square formation drawn with a ruler, with uniform steps and the same range of hand movements. The powerful steps and the sound of boots hitting the ground seemed to make the dust on the towers vibrate, even those soldiers
Their heights are almost the same, and at first glance, they look like a group of clones walking below.
There was no trace of sleepiness on the faces of those Jin envoys. They rubbed their eyes so hard that their eyelids were almost broken, but they still couldn't believe the facts in front of them.
Song Huizong stared blankly at the sky-blue square formation on the red carpet under the city tower. He murmured: "Is this my forbidden army?"
Li Qi was the only one in the audience who had not entered the state. All he had in his heart was nervousness, because once he started, his mission would be completed. In other words, it would be out of his control. Now he really
I can only pray for God's blessing.
Before anyone could react, Fang Zheng had already arrived under the flagpole.
This step by step can be said to have entered the depths of everyone's heart.
"stand at attention."
Following Yue Fan's cry, there were only two sounds of "pop" and "bang", and more than a hundred people moved their legs together at the same time. The heels of their shoes collided with the ground, making a crisp sound, and one hundred and eight spears suddenly stood on the ground.
On the ground.
Yue Fan suddenly put down his sword and shouted: "Salute."
Swish swish swish.
When the people on the tower saw the blue square, it instantly turned into white.
I saw everyone raising their right hands, and the white gloves immediately blocked the blue military uniform, just like white clouds covering the sky, just like a magic trick.
Fuck! What are you doing? Salute quickly! Seeing that Song Huizong was still standing there stupidly, Li Qi quickly stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, just raise your right hand."
Song Huizong was slightly startled and said hurriedly: "Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot."
After saying this, he straightened up and waved his right hand. Gao Qiu and others also raised their right hands at the same time.
When Li Qi saw this scene, he almost laughed out loud, and thought to himself, if there is a time and space police in the future, they will definitely take me back to target shooting. This posture is so evil, I am so fucking talented. Wow haha.
Swish swish swish.
The soldiers retracted their hands at the same time, almost in an instant.
Nowadays, not to mention those envoys of the Jin Kingdom, even the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty were very shocked. How on earth did this happen.
Bang bang bang.
The footsteps sounded again, and the square formation began to move to both sides with Yue Fan as the center line, and lined up on both sides of the red carpet.
After Yue Fan was in place, the three flag bearers began to walk towards the flagpole.
At this time, the fiery red sun has revealed a small part of its face, just like the rising sun on the rising sun flag.
"Wind, wind, wind, get louder, get louder."
Li Qi clenched his fists, lowered his head and muttered.
The most taboo thing about raising the national flag these days is the lack of wind.
Fortunately, God is kind and the wind is pretty good today.
After the flag bearer took his place under the flagpole, Yue Fan shouted again: "Raise the flag and play the national anthem!"
"It's coming, it's coming." Song Huizong's lips began to tremble with excitement.
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, there was a sound of drumming on the left.
Everyone turned around and saw a tall man in a new military uniform standing on a high platform, holding a drum and pestle and beating the huge war drum in front of him. Under the high platform, dozens of musicians were already in place.
.
Since there are no speakers these days, we can only rely on the number of people.
Before the sound of the drums fell, the zither, harp, pipa and other musical instruments sounded in unison. Almost at the same time, the flag-bearer waved the rising sun flag vigorously to the right.
In fact, before the Qing Dynasty, Chinese music was not so noisy that people could not sleep. On the contrary, the music played by the musicians in the Song Dynasty was very beautiful, otherwise it would be said that it would last three days.
This shows how much damage the invasion of Mongolia and Hou Jin caused to Chinese civilization.
Although the instruments have changed, the sound of the music played has not diminished but increased. Li Qi also admires the musicians of the Song Dynasty very much. They are really awesome.
Accompanied by the passionate melody, soldiers on both sides of the red carpet sang the Song National Anthem in unison.
Look north as the wolf smoke rises across the country!
The dragon curls up, the horse neighs, and the sword energy is like frost!
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River!
For more than a hundred years, who can resist?
The hatred is crazy, and the long sword is directed at it, and the loyal souls of many brothers and feet are buried in a foreign country.
Why should I die hundreds of times to serve my country?
The horse's hooves go south, and people look north.
Looking north, the grass is green and yellow, and dust is flying.
I am willing to defend my land and reopen my borders, and a dignified China will bring congratulations from all over the world! (To be continued...)
