Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Zhao Bingjun asked gloomyly: "The time is coming, who has anything to say?"

Wang Zhixin and the others had no blood on their faces, and looked like dead people with their heads down. Only Wang Ke cried, "Father! My son doesn't want to die."

Three trumpets sounded, the knife flashed, and 56 heads rolled to the ground.

After the incident, the imperial court conveyed the whole process of Wang Zhixin's case to the provincial officials in the form of an internal report. This incident caused a huge shock in the court and the public. Those officials who were originally unclean hands and feet were naturally terrified when they heard the news. They even killed the mayor of Beijing and a group of princes and ministers, let alone others. From this incident, it is enough to see that The emperor's determination to severely punish corruption, who would dare to easily hit the gun!

On the morning of September 9, Guan Xuqing took a group of senior imperial officials and flew to Hong Kong on Air Force 30 to participate in the Hong Kong handover ceremony held that day.

The event was mainly organized by the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Wu Tingfang led the crowd and arrived in Hong Kong three days in advance to arrange the preparations.For this event, the heads of state and dignitaries of more than [-] countries, including the Kaiser, the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, the President of the United States, the President of Italy, and the Prime Minister of France, were invited, as well as the famous Siemens, Krupp, and Hamburg shipyards in the world. Armstrong Shipyard, representatives of General Electric and other industrial and commercial enterprises, as well as the world's most famous scientific giants such as Wright Brothers, Edison, Curies, Maxim, Karl Benz, John Nolan, as well as the royal families of Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and other countries member representatives.This event is unprecedented in the world.The invited guests all came for one name, that is the Chinese Empire.

Hong Kong will soon recover from the trauma of the previous period of war, and the citizens of Hong Kong are looking forward to this day.

There are huge Chinese ships docked on Victoria Harbour, which seems to show people that today's China is no longer comparable to the past.

At this time, the representatives of China and Britain have arrived in Hong Kong, but an unpleasant incident happened at the specific handover ceremony before.

The biggest difference between the two sides is: the British side proposed that the national anthem of the United Kingdom should be played until 10:1:[-] on October [-], while Wu Tingfang strongly demanded that the national anthem of the Chinese Empire should be played on time at [-]:[-]:[-].Music thus has the potential to overlap.That would be the biggest joke in the world.

Wu Tingfang, who has experienced countless ups and downs on diplomatic occasions, of course knows that in the most symbolic sovereignty handover ceremony, any small detail is full of special political connotations, and any omission of a smile may make this much-anticipated event The handover ceremony left irreparable shortcomings.The national anthem of the Empire is played at [-]:[-]:[-]:[-], which symbolizes that the Empire will take back Hong Kong's sovereignty on time.Therefore, there must be no concessions on issues related to the state system.

During the negotiation process, Pope, the music director of the British side, pointedly pointed out: "When the British flag is lowered and the British national anthem is played, the British national anthem will be played until 10:1:[-] on October [-]st."

Wang Xinkui, a Chinese music officer, said: "We have been engaged in music for many years. After you command the tempo, it takes at least two to three seconds for the band to make a sound. The imperial foreign ministry's order to me is to Make sure to play the first note of the national anthem of the Chinese Empire at [-]:[-]:[-]. Then at least you have to give me two seconds to ensure that we play the national anthem at [-]:[-]:[-]. "

But Pope was still unwilling to give in, and said: "I will give you two seconds, and you will give me two seconds. Can you play it again at [-]:[-]:[-]?"

Wang Xinkui lowered his face and said, "This is not what we want to talk about. It's not a technical issue. If we played it earlier, it means that we will no longer stand on the side of the people of the empire in diplomacy. If we are a second late , our shame will be one second longer."

The handover ceremony is the top priority of Hong Kong's return, and the national anthem of the Chinese Empire will be played on time at 10:1:[-] on October [-], and the five-clawed golden dragon flag will be raised, marking the official return of Hong Kong's sovereignty.During the handover ceremony, the task of the band is extremely important.Many agendas are completely controlled by the band. For this reason, we have also made full preparations while the Chinese and British sides have repeatedly negotiated.

Wang Xinkui and others made the worst plan: If the British side deliberately delays the time, we will play the national anthem of the People's Republic of China at zero hours and zero seconds, even if the two musics are superimposed.The principles involving the sovereignty and dignity of the motherland were uncompromising, but the imperial protocol staff showed flexibility on side issues.For example, the progress of handover ceremonies in the West mostly depends on music to make a transition, while the Chinese habit is to rely on the master of ceremonies to announce.Therefore, the two parties agreed to preside over the ceremony by combining master of ceremonies and music.Therefore, many transitional words that the master of ceremonies had to say were deleted; of course, there was a sentence that Wu Tingfang advocated to stick to, that is, "the flag-raising ceremony begins now", and it was retained in the end.

Later, Wu Tingfang and others made further research on the time course of the entire ceremony.The result was a surprise.According to the scheduled schedule, at 9:30:23 on September 42, the handover ceremony of Hong Kong's sovereignty began.The guard of honor saluted each other, and the Chinese side played a tribute song.This was followed by a speech by the British representative, Crown Prince Edward.However, after several actual tests, the ceremony before the speech will exceed the scheduled time by more than 20 seconds, and the speech speed of Crown Prince Edward is relatively slow, and it will also be delayed than the scheduled time. If it is not remedied in time, there will be no guarantee On time at zero minutes and zero seconds on October 30, the national anthem of the Chinese Empire was played and the five-clawed golden dragon flag was raised.The scheduled time is fixed and cannot be changed.For this reason, the Chinese master of ceremonies must not only speed up the hosting speed, but also take urgent measures.It is necessary to speed up the entry process of the flag bearers on both sides, catch up with the time, and order the British music director to play the British national anthem and lower the flag.

1900年9月30日午夜至10月1日凌晨，维多利亚港湾沿岸灯火辉煌，举世瞩目的中英两国香港政权交接仪式在原先的总督府大楼五楼大厅隆重举行。

After the Chinese and British honor guards entered the arena, trumpeters from both sides blew their trumpets. At 23:46, Emperor Guan Xuqing of the Chinese Empire, surrounded by Prime Minister Liang Qichao, Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang, Supreme Commander Feng Xianghua, and Hong Kong’s first Chief Executive Tan Sitong, walked into the venue and boarded the rostrum.On the British side, Crown Prince Edward, Prime Minister Balfour, Foreign Secretary Lord Smeagley, and the outgoing Governor of Hong Kong, Bryce, entered the venue at the same time and boarded the rostrum.After the representatives from both sides sat down on the rostrum, the Hong Kong handover ceremony entered the most critical moment.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 427 The Return of Hong Kong

After the guard of honor held a gun salute, Crown Prince Edward walked to the center of the rostrum with a melancholy expression, glanced at the dignitaries and guests from various countries attending the event, and then said in a low tone: "This important and special ceremony marks the After 59 years of British rule, Hong Kong was handed back to the Chinese Empire. On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen and the British Empire Government, I pay tribute to those diplomats who have worked tirelessly to properly resolve the Hong Kong issue, and pay tribute to those who have worked tirelessly for the negotiation of the "China-UK Relation to the Hong Kong Question". Kudos to those who worked hard on the details of the implementation of the Convention. Hong Kong showed the world that dynamism and stability can be the defining characteristics of a successful society. Effective October 1900, 10, Hong Kong will henceforth be handed back to China, as described in The Hong Kong Question Under the framework of the Convention, Hong Kong will continue to have its own characteristics as a civilized society and continue to be an important international partner of many countries in the world. The UK will also spare no efforts for the development of Hong Kong."

Edward paused for a moment, only to realize that he had finished his speech. He took a last look at the guests in the audience, and then left the rostrum resentfully.

Everyone could see that every word of Edward's short speech on behalf of the British government was so difficult and painful. Even Edward himself was in a state of dissociation when he was speaking, and he looked at the audience at the end It reveals a feeling of complete despair.

At 23:56, the Chinese and British flag guards entered the arena, marking the beginning of the flag-lowering and flag-raising ceremony, which symbolized the handover of the Hong Kong regime between the two governments.All the dignitaries and guests from various countries present at the ceremony stood up, and all eyes were on the flagpoles erected on the east and west sides of the rostrum.

At 23:59, the British flag and the Hong Kong flag were slowly lowered to the sound of the British national anthem.With the lowering of the "Mi Ziqi", Britain's 59-year colonial rule in Hong Kong came to an end.

At this time, it was only a few seconds away from zero, and the audience was solemn.

But Wang Xinkui, the music official of the Chinese party, was already suffocating nervously, quietly reading the time, 56, 57, 58, 59...

At zero o'clock on October 10st, the most exciting and sacred moment came: under Wang Xinkui's gesture, the Chinese band played the national anthem of the Chinese Empire, and the five-clawed golden dragon flag and the new Hong Kong government regional flag were slowly raised together.

The audience was boiling, and many people's eyes were full of excited tears, and the thunderous applause lasted for a long time.The lenses of cameras and video cameras kept flashing to record this solemn historical moment!

Then, under the applause and gaze of thousands of guests, Guan Xuqing walked steadily to the podium inlaid with the national flag of the Chinese Empire to deliver a speech.Tonight, he put on a brand-new golden dress, his eyes were shining like cold stars, and he said in an unusually full voice: "Heads of state and dignitaries from all countries, guests from all countries, welcome to come to witness this solemn and sacred moment , From now on, the Hong Kong government of the Chinese Empire is officially established. This is a grand event for the empire, and it is also a victory for the cause of world peace and justice. October 1900, 10, will be recorded in history as a day worth remembering forever!"

Among the people present, it was hard to be excited at this moment, and once again gave warm applause for this wise Chinese emperor, for the increasingly powerful Chinese Empire, and for the new Hong Kong government.

After the voice gradually subsided, Guan Xuqing continued: "History will remember this solemn and great moment. Here, I am telling all the people who love peace and justice in the world that Hong Kong was, is, and will always be part of the Chinese Empire." Territory, the sovereignty of Hong Kong will always belong to the Chinese Empire. As we all know, in the unbearable past years, Hong Kong fell into the hands of others due to the weakness and backwardness of the government at that time. Over the years, the empire has never forgotten Hong Kong, and the empire has never I have never given up on various efforts to take back Hong Kong. Fortunately, through a series of diplomatic negotiations, the Hong Kong issue was successfully resolved and the return of Hong Kong was finally realized. Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all those who have contributed to the settlement of the Hong Kong issue in China and the UK I would like to express my gratitude to all the people in the world who care about and support Hong Kong's return, and express my greetings and best wishes to all Hong Kong compatriots who have returned to the embrace of the motherland."

Guan Xuqing paused, and then said: "After the return of Hong Kong, Hong Kong will be managed as a provincial region of the empire. The imperial government will also be fully responsible for the management of Hong Kong's foreign affairs, administrative affairs and defense. After the return of Hong Kong, it will continue to Maintain the status of a free port, continue to play the role of an international financial, trade, and shipping center, and continue to develop economic and trade relations with countries, regions, and relevant international organizations. The legitimate economic interests of all countries and regions, including the British government, in Hong Kong will be protected by the Empire The protection of laws and regulations. I also hope that all countries and regions in the world that have investment and trade interests in Hong Kong will continue to provide support for the development of Hong Kong."

Finally, Guan Xuqing said: "In the final analysis, Hong Kong's prosperity today is created by Hong Kong compatriots, and it is also inseparable from the strength and support of the empire. I believe that with the strong backing of the people of the empire, the Hong Kong government and Hong Kong compatriots will be able to manage and build Good Hong Kong, maintain Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability, and create a bright future for Hong Kong!"

The audience erupted into applause like a wave, and the Chinese present could no longer restrain their inner excitement, stood up and shouted: "Long live the Chinese Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

Guan Xuqing waved to everyone frequently, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words.

At the same time, the Chinese warships docked in Victoria Harbor fired salutes together, and all the officers and soldiers on board stood on the deck, solemnly saluting in the direction of the handover ceremony!

Imperial airship formations and aircraft formations formed an air formation, roaring across the sky over Hong Kong.

All the cannons of the Imperial Army Corps stationed at the boundary opened their gun covers and fired salutes together.

At 12:100 in the morning, the handover ceremony of the Hong Kong regime ended.More than 2000 reporters from more than [-] news media around the world covered this historic scene.

The well-known Malaysian local media "Chinese Morning Post" published a comment titled "History Returns Justice to the Chinese": "The return of Hong Kong is history's return of justice to the Chinese. The shame and vicissitudes of the former colonies have already returned to Hong Kong on October 10. China is washed away, which is a great joyous event for all descendants of the Yellow Emperor to celebrate. Hong Kong’s return will not only not lead to political disorder, social turmoil, and economic regression as claimed by some Western media. On the contrary, it will be under the management of the Chinese Empire. , Hong Kong will develop rapidly and will become the economic hub of Southeast Asia and even Asia as a whole. Many entrepreneurs said that no matter in the past, present or future, Hong Kong is an important cooperation partner in Southeast Asia in many fields."

The Washington Post of the United States commented: "The U.S. ruling and opposition parties are generally optimistic about the development of Hong Kong after its return to the motherland. Hong Kong has the right time, favorable location, and harmonious people, and its role as a regional economic hub will become more and more obvious."

Spain's "Madrid Morning Post" also declared: "After Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the strong support of the Chinese government and the strong backing of China's industrial economy will undoubtedly become an important factor for Hong Kong's development to survive.

The French "Political Herald" commented: "The Chinese have created history. This history proves that the powerful empire on which the sun never sets in the past will be replaced by the newly rising Chinese Empire. China will also follow Spain and the United Kingdom. It is a strong impetus for the reconstruction of the European economy. The return of Hong Kong is a good thing for the whole of Europe!"

In the few days after the completion of the handover ceremony, Guan Xuqing accepted exclusive interviews from various countries’ media in Hong Kong, as well as continuous visits from political leaders from various countries. On the other hand, he also had to inspect the development of the Hong Kong region.

In the palace on Lantau Island specially built for the emperor, Guan Xuqing happily received his old friend Kaiser Wilhelm II. Since the Beijing Peace Conference, the Kaiser has returned to Germany. Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and now the old man reunites Naturally, it is a close relationship.In the past three years, Guan Xuqing found that William II seemed to be much older. William II, who had passed his forties, had a few gray hairs on his sideburns, and his smile seemed a little stiff and stiff. If there are two people.But the Kaiser's voice was still so thick and powerful, and Guan Xuqing's hand was so full of male masculinity.

"My friend, dear brother-in-law, we finally meet again, haha..." William still smiled brightly.

"William, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this ceremony." Guan Xuqing also said happily.

"We are friends like steel, of course I want to come... What is it called in Beijing dialect, yes, join me. Haha..."

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are still so strong and powerful."

William's smile froze suddenly, and then he pointed to a general in military uniform behind him and said, "Yes, let me introduce you, this is General Hindenburg of the Imperial Military Command."

Guan Xuqing smiled and saw General Hindenburg standing behind William. He was tall, burly and strong, with two upturned black beards on his lips. style.Of course Guan Xuqing knew about this person. During the World War that year, Hindenburg once served as the commander-in-chief of the German army on the front of the Marne River. He cooperated tacitly with Zhang Zuolin's imperial cavalry and finally defeated the British and French allied forces in one fell swoop.Unexpectedly, in three years, this Hindenburg became the supreme commander of the German military.

Hindenburg naturally did not dare to be negligent in front of the Chinese emperor, he hurried over with both feet together, and saluted a standard German military salute, "The German High Command Hindenburg pays homage to His Majesty the Great Emperor!"

Guan Xuqing waved his hand: "Excuse me." Then he looked the other party up and down, and said to William: "William, you have a good eye, this General Hindenburg is a rare general at first glance. Your German tank will surely go forward with his command. Hehe..."

William's face turned red, and he took a peek at Hindenburg. Hindenburg stood proudly, with an incomparably domineering look on his face!

ps: Today and tomorrow are the third shift, don't miss it.

Wilhelm II forced a smile and said, "Yes, yes, since General Hindenburg took command of the German military power, he has worked closely with General Ludendorff, the quartermaster director, to make the German tanks indestructible. It is really a very capable subordinate of mine... ...go-getter."
