After introducing these, Hu Guang suddenly straightened his face and said seriously: "I want to embroider this pattern on the flag and make it the national flag of my Ming Empire!"

When Wen Tiren and Bi Ziyan heard this, they couldn't help but be startled, national flag? What is this? I have never heard of it.

However, 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 Yi people have national flags, but what is the use of this national flag?"

When Wen Tiren and Bi Ziyan heard this, they turned to look at him. This kind of flag has never been seen in all dynasties. The Western Yi people have it, and we in the Ming Dynasty don't necessarily have it! But Xu Guangqi is right. What is the use of this flag? If we want it just because Xiyi has it, there seems to be no need!

Upon hearing this, Hu Guang replied solemnly: "The national flag is the symbol of the Ming Empire. As long as it is in the territory of our Ming Empire, there can only be the national flag of our Ming Empire, not the flags of other countries. I want all Everyone knows where the Ming Dynasty belongs! The people of the Ming Dynasty always remember that they are a part of the Ming Dynasty!"

At this point, he raised his voice and said: "I have said before that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country! This time when Jianlu invaded the capital, the small county of Changli did a good job. They were able to do this spontaneously. , everyone mobilized to fight against the Jianlu. However, Yongping County only relied on the government, and if the government failed, it would be everyone in the city who would suffer if the city was broken!"

In today's era, there is no concept of a country or nation at all. At most, they think that the world belongs to the royal family. If dynasties change, dynasties will change. If it does not affect them, most people will not care much. This can be proven by subsequent history.

Therefore, Hu Guangcai had this idea to formulate a national flag and anthem to promote the concept of the country and the benefits of the Ming Empire, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty would remember the concept of the Ming Empire from an early age, just like the concept of home, and become the people of the Ming Dynasty to be proud of and be proud of. The object of protection.

When he gave the example of Jianlu invading the capital, Wen Tiren and others began to take this flag seriously. They had to admit that the reason why such a small county town was able to hold on during the Battle of Changli 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 in various guard posts, border army stations, etc. Tell them clearly that this flag belongs to the Ming Dynasty. The government is the army of the Ming Dynasty! From now on, our Ming army must have flags and national flags, and flags with the generals’ surnames will be gradually banned. I want the Ming army to subtly identify themselves as the army of the Ming Dynasty, not as someone. A general’s army!”

When it comes to military power, this is serious. What the emperor said at this time was supported by all civil servants. Even for them, as long as this flag serves this purpose, it is enough.

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

"In wars against foreigners, there must also be the national flag of the Ming Dynasty. This is a war between countries, not a war between localities and other peoples. This will enhance the height and seriousness of the war! It will also let the soldiers know that every one of them This war is fought for the Ming Dynasty, not for a certain general!"

"..."

Hu Guang talked about the uses of the national flag one after another. For the first time, the national concept he mentioned began to affect others.

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

A flag has so many moves that can influence people's hearts, and he has no reason to refuse. The other two people also agreed after listening to Hu Guang's many truths.

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

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

If one side is in trouble, support from all sides will come!

When all people are united, their power can cut through gold!

There is waterlogging in the south and drought in the north. What’s the point?

Corrupt officials will have to pay back sooner or later!

Protect your home and country, and swear to destroy the enemy!

Everyone performs his duties, everyone does his job!

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

Weijia comes from all over the world, and congratulations come from all directions!

After reading it again, the first impression of the three of them was that this word is quite easy to understand! However, they already have the concept of a national flag, and if they need to match it with the word, many functions will become self-evident.

This is a clear request for what the people of the Ming Dynasty should do. This is telling the people of the 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 the Western Barbarians also have national anthems. This word is designated as the national anthem of the Ming Dynasty. I think it is wonderful!"

The national flag all agreed. The national anthem should be matched with the national flag. Now it is printed on banknotes. The emperor did not notify in advance. It was obviously a decision that had been made long ago. Therefore, Wen Tiren and Bi Ziyan did not object.

But after Wen Tiren hesitated for a while, he still asked: "Your Majesty, what about this word card?"

"This poem was inspired by me after I saw the military song written by Qi Jiguang." Hu Guang introduced the reason, and then said in an unquestionable tone, "Then use the lyrics of that military song as a The song of my Ming Empire! The national anthem must not be soft, it must be powerful!"

At this point, he introduced: "From now on, all Ming people must be able to sing this national anthem! This national anthem must be sung at the flag-raising ceremony. On some important occasions, the music of this national anthem must also be included." "

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

At this time, Ming Dynasty actually had too many problems. It's like being indifferent to other people's affairs. How about you in the north? What does it matter to us in the south? Or what about the people from the south, can I, the people from the north, care about it?

In fact, this was not just the case in the Ming Dynasty. Even in the Southern Song Dynasty, the most fundamental reason why the Northern Expedition failed was that the southerners did not support it.

Nowadays, the natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty are serious. Only by coordinating the whole country can the harm caused by floods in the south and drought in the north be reduced. This is true now and it will be true in the future. We must let them understand that all Ming people are a whole.

There is also corruption, which is also very common. Warning them in the national anthem that they will have to pay back sooner or later will have a little deterrent effect!

…

After the three of them, Wen Tiren and others, understood the meaning of the banknotes, they couldn't help but admire secretly: It seems that the emperor has put a lot of thought into this! Many of them are unheard of. I really don't know how the emperor came up with it!

I originally wanted to adapt the national anthem "Unity is Strength", but it never worked. In the end, I worked hard and searched a lot of information to come up with it. It is just a novel. If you are not satisfied, please forgive me!
