Chapter 589 National Destiny (first update, please subscribe)
"Long live Hebang!"

The cheers echoed on Zhuque Street in Yingtianfu. The news from Paraguay also triggered a celebration parade in Yingtian, and the crowd walked on the street.Flags of the Ming Dynasty were flying above the heads of the people, and people cheered happily with the banners celebrating the Mingba Hebang.

At this time, the policemen who usually maintained order were standing on the side of the road with smiles on their faces.

It's a good day.

is something to celebrate.

The turbulent sea of ​​people walked towards the direction of Huangzhong, and soon, they reached their destination.When people arrived at the palace, Emperor Zhu was standing on the balcony on the second floor.

"This is the heart of the people!"

Zhu Xianhai waved to the crowd proudly, and countless people there shouted long live.

Amidst the cheers of "Long live Your Majesty Shengde" and "Long live the Ming Dynasty", Zhu Xianhai left the balcony. As soon as he entered the room, Zuo Zongtang, Wang Jiuling, Qian Degong, Sun Hu and other civil and military officials bowed there. road.

"Long live my emperor!"

"Be flat!"

Zhu Xianhai waved his hand.

Zuo Zongtang took a step forward and saluted with a long bow.

"Your Majesty, at this time, Paraguay voluntarily merged into our Ming Dynasty. It is indeed a happy event that has never been seen in ancient times. This matter should be announced to the world, so that the subjects of the world can celebrate with the country!"

"Prelude!"

The following memorials are all typical procedural performances, and what Emperor Zhu needs is "accurate performances".

In the end, he set his sights on Salvador Jovillianos, the former President of Paraguay is definitely a hero, who knows current affairs is not a hero.

"Salvador Jovillianos stepped forward to accept the letter."

"Chen is here!"

Salvador Jovilianos hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Emperor Zhu.

"You have made great contributions to the union between Ming Dynasty and Paraguay. Although you have no military merits, you can offer soil, which is not inferior to military merits. I will make you the Earl of Montelindo."

The aristocratic titles of Ming Dynasty are Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. The earl is in the middle, neither high nor low, so that the reward will neither cause controversy nor cause dissatisfaction in the military. Of course, Salvador Jovelia North himself is a soldier—he is also the head of the 800rd Regiment of the Imperial Army of the Ming Dynasty. This regiment is the Paraguayan Army. Although there are only more than [-] people, since the country is incorporated, the army must of course be incorporated.

Emperor Zhu, holding a Chinese-style sword, tapped Salvador Jovelia's shoulder lightly with it.It is considered to have completed the canonization.

The ritualization of this canonization process is not the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, but borrowed from the European system. It is different from the canonization of a piece of "paper". This kind of canonization process is completed by the emperor himself, which has a sense of ceremony. You have to swear allegiance to the emperor—the emperor himself!

The Earl of Montelindo, who was kneeling on the ground, of course had to take an oath of allegiance, expressing "eternal support for the dignity of the royal family, and allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor from generation to generation."

In this way, the newly promoted Earl of Montelindo was born.Of course, he followed the Naturalization Act and asked His Majesty to give him a surname.

"Well, give Aiqing the surname of the country, and the name Xiantu, to show Aiqing's contribution to the land."

Is this name vulgar?
Intuit vulgar, but so what?

As long as my family is happy, besides, these foreigners... No, the naturalized Europeans are not very educated people, and the names given to them are too educated, so they can't understand them.

Just like my "unnamed uncle of the country", he gave himself a top uncle of the country-Zhu Guozhong.

I don't know how many times Zuo Zongtang and Wang Jiuling complained about this name.According to Chinese tradition, this name is unlucky!

Not only bad luck, but also a curse!
Guozhong?

You kid thinks you are Yang Guozhong... You only want to choose the top class in the uncle of the country when choosing a name, and you don't look at history at all!
These Europa savages are really uneducated!

Hey, returning the barbarians to the summer is a long way to go!

When Emperor Zhu sighed in his heart, he couldn't help but glanced at Zhu Guozhong, and naturally thought of Elizabeth again.

That woman is now focused on raising the children and running the company. She would rather be the emperor's lover than a concubine, but really, on such a happy day like today, I have to go and celebrate with her.

It seems that the French teacher she found for her son is also quite good, a typical European beauty with blond hair and blue eyes, why not invite her to have fun with the people today?

Standing in the front row among the ministers, Zhu Guozhong, the great uncle of the Ming Dynasty, was looked at by the emperor several times, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Could it be that His Majesty found out?

What did you find?

Of course, Uncle Guo found a new Chinese teacher for himself——Sakiko Yamakawa, yes, she is a Japanese girl. Although she is only 12 years old, she is good at teaching foreign languages!

Well, she is not an ordinary Japanese girl, but an international student sent by Japan to Ming Dynasty—there are 50 international students in the Japanese mission, including five female students. It must be said that Japan’s defeat of the Qing Dynasty is definitely not accidental of.

However, although Sakiko Yamakawa changed her fate and failed to study in the United States, but came to Ming Dynasty, the level of medical care in Ming Dynasty must be far superior to that in the United States.

Besides, Sakiko Yamakawa also undertakes a mission to befriend Zhu Guozhong, the foreign minister. After all, this is the minister in charge of foreign affairs!If he said a few good words for Japan and Daming provided some help to Japan, then Japan would be like a heifer flying on a plane—it would be awesome.

So Sakiko Yamakawa became the private foreign language teacher of His Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs while studying. As for how to learn, only Uncle Zhu Daguo knew.

In fact, the news that Paraguay voluntarily merged into Ming Dynasty.The impact on the Japanese mission that was visiting Daming was unimaginable to the outside world.While dumbfounded, Iwakura was stunned for a long time before speaking.

"Did you really not fire a single shot?"

"It's true that no shots were fired! People voted to join directly!"

Ito Hirobumi said while holding the newspaper.

"Your Excellency, according to the news written in the newspaper, 98.5% of Paraguayans agree with the union and the incorporation into the Ming Dynasty. This is subduing the enemy without fighting!"

Looking at the newspaper, Okubo Toshimichi said.

"Oh, this Ming Dynasty is different from what we imagined. It's a bit unimaginable to win a country without fighting. We must be careful about this Ming Dynasty, and don't accidentally break their way, otherwise, I'm afraid that the time will come. It will be tomorrow's Hebang."

"Speak the truth,"

Ito Hirobumi said carelessly beside him.

"We can't compare to them in politics and fists. If Ming Dynasty really wants to annex Japan, we have no way to resist it. Therefore, the most important thing right now is to give the people the means to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Learn, and then let Japan as soon as possible. Only in this way can the Japanese voluntarily merge into the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"idiot!"

Kido Takayoshi said excitedly.

"No matter at any time, it is impossible for the Japanese to take the initiative to incorporate Japan into the Ming Dynasty. How can you say that, Ito Hirobumi?"

"Oh, how could it not be?"

Ito Hirobumi sneered.

"When the Paraguayans fought desperately to defend Paraguay, they didn't expect that one day Paraguay would be incorporated into other countries, and they asked for it themselves. However, if you read the newspapers, you know that this is the best choice for them."

Looking at Kido Takayoshi, Ito Hirobumi said.

"In this world of tigers and wolves where all Westerners are tigers and wolves, if Japan cannot become stronger as soon as possible, then one day we will be annexed by other Western countries like Uruguay. At that time, the common people will really live like death , Do you want Japan to be occupied by barbarians like China? Do you want Japan to be a colony of Western countries? At that time, it is better to let Ming rule us, at least..."

Without waiting for Ito Hirobumi to finish speaking.Iwakura Tomomi interrupted him and said.

"Okay, if that's the case, let's investigate together! After all, this investigation is related to Japan's national destiny!"
