Chapter 216 National Flag and National Anthem
After introducing these, Hu Guang suddenly straightened his face, and said seriously: "I want to embroider this pattern on the flag and designate it as the national flag of our Ming Empire!"

When Wen Tiren and Bi Ziyan heard this, they couldn't help being taken aback, the national flag?What is this, I have never heard of it.

On the contrary, Xu Guangqi had more dealings with Xiyi, so he had an idea after hearing it.However, he didn't understand it very well, so he expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, I know that all the western barbarians have national flags, but how can this flag be used?"

When Wen Tiren and Bi Ziyan heard this, they turned to look at him. This kind of national flag has never existed since the past dynasties. Xiyi has it, and our Ming Dynasty does not necessarily have it!But Xu Guangqi is right, what is the use of this national flag?If it's just because we have Xiyi, we don't seem to need it!

Upon hearing this, Hu Guang replied seriously: "The national flag is the symbol of the Ming Empire. As long as it is on the territory of our Ming Empire, there can only be our Ming Empire's flag and no other country's flag. I want all Everyone knows which place belongs to Daming! The people of Daming always remember that they are a part of Daming!"

Speaking of this, he raised his voice and said: "I said before that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country! The small county of Changli has done a good job in Jianlu's invasion of Gyeonggi this time. They can do it spontaneously. , everyone mobilized to fight against Jianlu together. But Yongping only relies on the government, the government can’t do it, and everyone in the city will suffer if the city breaks down!”

In this day and age, there is no concept of nation at all. At most, the world is considered to belong to the royal family, and if the dynasty changes, it will change. If it does not affect them, most people will not care much.This point can be proved by subsequent history.

That's why Hu Guang came up with the idea to formulate the national flag and national anthem, publicize the concept of the country, and publicize the benefits of the Ming Empire, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty can remember from childhood that the concept of the Ming Empire is like the concept of home, and become the pride of the people of the Ming Dynasty. The object of protection.

When he gave the example of Jianlu's invasion of Gyeonggi, Wen Tiren and others began to look at the national flag seriously.They had to admit that in the Battle of Changli, the reason why such a small county was able to defend was indeed the result of the mobilization of the entire city.

At this time, they heard the emperor continue to say: "This national flag will be hung in all government offices, and the flag will be raised every morning, as well as the guards, frontier garrisons, etc. Tell them clearly that this is Daming's The government is the army of the Ming Dynasty! From now on, the flag of the Ming army must have the national flag, and the banner of the general’s surname must be gradually banned. I want the army of the Ming Dynasty to subtly recognize itself as the army of the Ming Dynasty, not someone An army of generals!"

When it comes to military power, this is serious.What the emperor said at this time, as long as they are civil officials, they all support it.Even for them, as long as this national flag has this function, it is enough.

However, Hu Guang continued to introduce: "There are also schools, and the national flag must also be hoisted. Every morning, a flag-raising ceremony must be held. All students must participate and influence them subtly!"

"During wars with foreign nations, there must also be a Ming flag. This is a war between countries, not a war between localities and other tribes, so as to enhance the height and seriousness of the war! It can also let the soldiers know that their every effort This battle is all for Daming, not for a certain general!"

"..."

Hu Guang talked about the use of the national flag one after another, and the concept of the country he mentioned began to affect others for the first time.

After finishing speaking, Chief Assistant Wen Tiren first nodded in agreement and said, "I think this national flag is really good, and I agree!"

There are so many actions that affect people's hearts with one banner, and he has no reason to refuse.The other two also agreed after hearing so many reasons Hu Guang said.

Seeing their support, Hu Guang smiled, then pointed to the banknotes in their hands and said: "That song is my national anthem, which is used in conjunction with the national flag. It is my expectation for the people of Ming Dynasty, and it is also my wish for Ming Dynasty. expect!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Tiren and the other three couldn't help but get serious, and went to read the poem again.

If one party is in trouble, all parties will support it!
When all people are united, their benefits can break gold!
Flooding in the south and drought in the north, what is the point!

Corrupt officials, sooner or later they have to pay back!

Defend the family and defend the country, vowing to kill the enemy!

Each performs his duties, each performs his duties!

The country is rich and the people are strong, live and work in peace and contentment!

Vega at home, congratulations from all over the world!

After re-reading it again, the first feeling of the three people is that this word is easy to understand!However, they already have the concept of the national flag, and if the word is used to match it, many functions will be self-evident.

This is to clearly ask the people of Ming Dynasty what to do. It is to tell the people of Ming Dynasty to learn from the battle of Changli and unite as one. If this is the case, even natural disasters will not be terrible.

In this word, there are also requirements for officials and soldiers, a warning to corrupt officials, and the expectations of the people and the country for the future!

This time, it was Xu Guangqi who spoke first: "I also heard that many countries in Xiyi also have national anthems. This word is designated as the national anthem of Ming Dynasty. I think it is wonderful!"

The national flag agreed, and the national anthem should match the national flag. Now it is printed on banknotes, and the emperor did not notify in advance. Obviously, the decision was made long ago.Therefore, Wen Tiren and Bi Ziyan did not object.

It's just that Wen Tiren hesitated for a while before asking: "Your Majesty, what about this Ci card?"

"I got the inspiration for this lyrics after I saw the military song written by Qi Jiguang." Hu Guang introduced you, and then said in an unquestionable tone, "Then use the lyrics of that military song as The song of my Great Ming Empire! The national anthem must not be limp, it must have momentum!"

Speaking of this, he introduced: "This national anthem, as long as I am a member of Ming Dynasty, I must be able to sing it! This national anthem must be sung at the flag-raising ceremony. Some important occasions also have the music of this national anthem. "

Speaking of this, he looked at the three courtiers below, and emphasized again: "The reason why I printed it on the banknotes is to take this opportunity to promote it. Let the people, officials, and soldiers of Ming Dynasty always remember it."

At this time, Daming already had too many problems.It's like being indifferent to other things, what about you in the north, what does it matter to me in the south?Or how about the southerners, can I be in charge of the northerners?
In fact, this matter was not limited to the Ming Dynasty, even the Southern Song Dynasty. The most fundamental reason why the Northern Expedition failed was that the southerners did not support it.

Nowadays, natural disasters in Daming are serious, and only by coordinating the whole country can the harm caused by the southern flood and the northern drought be mitigated.This is true now, and it will be true in the future.Let them understand that all Daming people are a whole.

There is also corruption, which is also very common. The national anthem warns them that they will have to pay back sooner or later, which can somewhat deter them!
……

Wen Tiren and the others all understood the meaning of the note, and they couldn't help admiring secretly: It seems that the emperor has put a lot of thought into it! Many of them are unheard of before, I really don't know how the emperor thought of it!

　Originally, I wanted to adapt the national anthem. Unity is strength, but it still didn’t work. In the end, I worked hard and searched a lot of information. It’s just a novel. Please bear with me if you are not satisfied!
