Chapter 820 Fanning the flames of the first place (first update, please subscribe)
Twelve hours later, the airship, which traveled almost 1200 kilometers, finally landed slowly on the grass in the park in the new urban area of ​​Asunción.

The rope dropped from the airship was fixed under the tow of the car. When the airship was firmly maintained at a position three meters above the ground,

Emperor Zhu did not get off the plane in a hurry, but waited for a while, and then walked to the cabin door with the accompanying ministers.

A crew member had been standing there waiting for a long time. Seeing the emperor approaching, he immediately opened the hatch and stood at attention to salute.Emperor Zhu gave him a slight nod of approval, then straightened his military uniform and stepped out of the hatch.

A vehicle-mounted ladder spanned the hatch, and a long red carpet was spread from the ladder to the ground.On both sides of the carpet are two rows of heavily armed army soldiers.A row of military police stood far behind the soldiers.These gendarmes formed a cordon to block the enthusiastic citizens of Asunción. The crowd could see waving small Sun and Moon flags of Ming Dynasty everywhere, and countless national flags and welcome banners were flying around in the parks and streets.

His Majesty is coming!

For the citizens of Asunción, this is undoubtedly a festival.

How could they be unhappy when the emperor visited the city for the first time after it was incorporated into the Ming Empire?

When Emperor Zhu first appeared at the cabin door, the citizens who came to welcome him burst into cheers as a whole, and at the same time, the sound of enthusiastic marching music rang out, and the soldiers in the queue immediately stood at attention and looked at the emperor. present.

"Long live, long live..."

Amidst waves of shouts from the mountains, Emperor Zhu collected himself, then got off the plane with his chest upright, walked to the red carpet, and solemnly inspected the soldiers in front of him.

At the far end of the carpet stood a group of government officials and military officers, large and small.Order officials all wore their open-necked dresses, and officers also wore straight collared dresses with various medals and medals, and their leather boots were well polished.

He walked up to the group of people and stood still.Immediately, a short middle-aged official in the middle came up and said to him with a smile on his face:
"I am Marna, the mayor of Asuncion City. With deep respect, on behalf of all the citizens of Asuncion City, I warmly welcome His Majesty the Emperor to Asuncion City, and express my sincere thanks to His Majesty for his love and help to Paraguay. "

There is no need for a Marna representative. Listening to the shouts from the surrounding mountains, Emperor Zhu can feel the enthusiasm of the people. This is a welcome from the heart.

Paraguay, unlike any other place, Ming came here not as a conqueror, but as a liberator. Although among Chile, Argentina and Paraguay, Paraguay was the latest to merge with Ming, but it was the best fusion The place.

Thanks for the war.

Made almost all Paraguayan women widows.

Of course, Emperor Zhu would not say that. At this moment, two children came over with flowers in their hands. When receiving the flowers presented by the children, Emperor Zhu bent down and embraced them in his arms middle.

"Thank you for the flowers."

Standing up and looking back at the townspeople, they cheered even more enthusiastically when they saw the Emperor looking at them.Looking at those enthusiastic citizens and the flying national flag, Emperor Zhu suddenly thought of something.

"Something should be said to them!"

Emperor Zhu gave an order to the attendants beside him.

"Bring the loudspeaker here."

In order to cooperate with the dissemination of movies around the world, the loudspeaker was "invented" by the central laboratory last year. It can be used in movie theaters, and of course it can also be used for speeches.

After a while, an electric horn, that is, a loudspeaker, was set up.Standing in front of the loudspeaker, Emperor Zhu glanced at the flowers in his hands, then at the two excited children, he said.

"Citizens of Asunción!"

The sound amplified by the electric speaker spread far away, and the excited people suddenly fell silent.

Is this His Majesty addressing them?
"I am very grateful to you for welcoming me. Although I have never been here, I have heard of it a long time ago. As early as when I was in Nanhua, I heard how the people of Paraguay bravely defended the Paraguay, in that brutal war, every Paraguayan became a warrior, fighting until the end..."

When Emperor Zhu mentioned the war that almost took away all Paraguayan men, people's expressions changed. Although the women stood beside their husbands, they still thought of their relatives who died in the war—their father. , husband, lover, brother and children.

That war claimed too many lives.

"Wars that join the army, but adults fight, hurt far more than adults. In the battle of Caraguate, thousands of children fought like adults. They were brave and resolute. I remember vividly. During that war, how cruel the Brazilian soldiers were. I remember how the grassland was dyed red and how it was ignited by the Brazilian rockets. I remember how the mother held the dead child in her arms. The name of the child was crying in the fire, I remember... I remember the voice of the children calling for their mother, and the voice of a mother calling for their child..."

The sad voice echoed through the loudspeaker in the park and clearly reached the ears of many people. I don't know how many people could no longer control their tears. For a while, the park was full of crying.The previously excited expressions were replaced by sadness. The women wept on the chests of their husbands, and the men comforted their wives. Although most of them were from Daming, they could feel the women's sadness.

As for the local officials, they thought of their sons, brothers, and friends who died in the war, and there was a hint of hatred in their sad expressions.The hate is of course directed at the Brazilians!

"A reporter once asked me why I sent troops to Paraguay to destroy the Argentine army? No,"

Emperor Zhu raised his head and said to the loudspeaker:
"It's because of the crying of the children in the Caragua Terra fire, it's because of the suffering of the Paraguayans, that's why we're here, we're here to stop the atrocities committed by the Brazilians, to bring peace here."

There was a burst of warm applause below.

"Today, when I come here and see you, I know that we are successful and we have successfully protected everyone. When I took the flowers from the children and looked at their innocent eyes, My mood is excited, but my mind still echoes the voice of the children calling for mother that day..."

Emperor Zhu's voice seemed a little low, and the emotions of the people who came to greet him became extremely sad. When the sad atmosphere reached its peak, Emperor Zhu said.

"My heart prevents me from forgetting all this, and I also cannot forget that day-August 8th, this day will become our Children's Day. To commemorate the children who died in the Battle of Caraguate, we will I will always remember those fresh and immature faces.”

There is no applause, no cheers, everyone is immersed in sadness, everyone is remembering and remembering this moment, of course, everyone is also angry, the anger suppressed in people's hearts cannot be concealed, It is also indelible.

Feeling the anger suppressed deep in the hearts of the people, it seems that the city is going to be set on fire.

Emperor Zhu, who seemed to have a dignified expression, felt bursts of complacency in his heart.

Why did you come to this city?

Why do you say these words?

Is it just to leave a festival for the children of Daming?of course not!
This is a mental mobilization!
It is not just a spiritual mobilization for the people here, but also a spiritual mobilization for the entire Ming Dynasty...
