Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

The Handu Palace is located on the top of the mountain, which is the largest mountain in the surrounding area.

If you stand tall, you can naturally see far.

The huge Han capital was almost entirely in the eyes of the officials.

Just like a fire dragon, the light gradually extinguished in the criss-crossing streets extending into the distance.

Obviously, this is a street light on the street, which is being extinguished by the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.

Everyone suddenly realized that the soldiers on the street were there to extinguish the street lights!

but……

The uninformed officials had another doubt in their minds - the street lights that used to have to wait until dawn before going out...

Why is it extinguished today when it is still dark?

Your Majesty, what is this for?

……

The roof of the Meridian Gate Gate Tower.

Hao Yaoqi stood cautiously on the ridge.

The mountain wind blew his beard under his chin.

Hao Yaoqi came back to attend the New Year's Day ceremony. With his status, he naturally knew the inside story.

Because of this, he, who had already been granted the title of Marquis, was sent by the emperor to stand guard at the Meridian Gate.

Hao Yaoqi was very grateful to His Majesty the Emperor.

After His Majesty knew that he was a peasant army general, he still trusted him.

Even last year's New Year's Day awards for meritorious service included him.

Although Hao Yaoqi has been transferred to the Navy and served as Zheng Sen's deputy.

However, as long as Hao Yaoqi returns to Handu, no matter how tired he is, he will ask to guard the palace gate.

This was all he could do to repay the emperor for his kindness.

I saw the bright Handu gradually turning into darkness...

Hao Yaoqi was also shocked.

As General Su Wei who had personally protected the emperor for nearly a year, Hao Yaoqi naturally knew how big Handu was.

Today, the width of Handu from east to west has exceeded 30 miles, and the length from north to south is close to 50 miles!

However, in the past, when walking on the streets, I could only see a small part of it, and could not intuitively appreciate the hugeness of Handu.

Even at night, when the lights are bright, you still can't tell how big Handu is because of the difference in the far and near lights.

At this time, with the Handu Palace as the center, the lights gradually extinguished in the distance.

In this dark night, there is no better mark than a light.

Hao Yaoqi finally had an intuitive impression of the size of the Han capital city.

The street illuminated by street lights in the distance is like a glowing worm, spreading towards the distance.

From time to time, bright stars like stars appeared in the street lights that were originally extinguished.

However, soon after these bright spots appear, they will go out again.

Obviously, the extinguished street lights on the street attracted the attention of the people, who lit their own lights and wanted to check the situation.

Then the soldiers ordered it to be extinguished...

Hao Yaoqi, who was familiar with everything, could naturally guess the real situation.

Hao Yaoqi stood on the ridge of the roof, and the lights in the distance were already weak and invisible.

However, vaguely, it is still extending towards the distance!

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, everything between heaven and earth was completely dark.

Only in the distance, there are lights flashing on the bank of the Han River, which is the industrial area on the riverside.

Handu Pier is right there.

The Daming Navy Training Base is a little further north.

Unfortunately, you can't see that side from the palace.

A faintly visible group of fireworks exploded in the west.

Hao Yaoqi knew that this was set on fire by the guards guarding the Wangjiang Tower in Xicheng near the Han River.

This firework represents the signal that the street lights in Xicheng have been completely extinguished.

He looked north.

The imperial palace was not in the geographical center of the Han capital city.

Instead, it's slightly towards the southwest.

This is because in this mountainous area, only the top of the mountain has a spring that is enough for tens of thousands of people to drink.

The palace can only be built here.

Hao Yaoqi waited for a while, and the fireworks from the north also took off.

Still can't hear the explosion of fireworks.

You can see the fireworks exploding twenty miles away because the hilltop where the palace is located is high enough.

How could the sound be transmitted over such a long distance?

Immediately afterwards, signals came from the east and south.

Hao Yaoqi clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and shouted:

"His Majesty says:

The Ming Empire’s ‘Operation Bright’ has officially begun! "

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Five fireworks exploded in the sky!

Big red characters appear in the sky:

"The sun and the moon have a new look!"

……

"The sun and the moon have a new look?"

The ministers murmured.

The sun and the moon are the Ming Dynasty.

What does this new look mean?

The ministers were shocked.

……

Zhu Youjian stood tall above the Dan Majesty in the Chengtian Hall.

Beside him, Fang Zhenghua, who quietly rushed back at the end of the year, was standing with a knife.

Wang Chengen was holding Fuchen and standing on the other side.

The Ming Dynasty finally applied electricity - such a big thing, Zhu Youjian naturally wanted to share it with his most loyal servant.

Wang Cheng'en was able to accompany Chongzhen to death, and Fang Zhenghua was able to fight for Chongzhen's order and shed blood to protect the city...

Such two loyal servants, how could such a great happy event be without them!

Therefore, he issued a secret order for Fang Zhenghua to return to Handu quietly.

"Wang Lian!"

With a smile on his lips, Zhu Youjian called to Wang Lian whose face could not be seen clearly in the darkness:

"Push the switch and send power!"

"I obey the order."

Wang Lian responded and quickly ran to the power distribution room on the side of Chengtian Hall.

The little eunuch had already raised the lantern and illuminated everything in the power distribution room.

Wang Lian held the ceramic handle with one hand and exerted force suddenly.

"Crack!"

A blue arc flashed, and the switch was pushed up.

"Clap clap clap!"

Although it was silent, it sounded like thunder.

In an instant, the entire palace was brightly lit!

A string of light bulbs completely dispels the darkness and fills the world with light!

Fang Zheng Hua Rao had already seen it, but when the darkness suddenly became bright like daylight, he was still shocked.

"Your Majesty, this, this, this..."

Wang Chengen did not speak, but his face was full of shock.

"Two companions."

Zhu Youjian turned around and put his hands on the shoulders of the two slaves:

"My Ming Dynasty, with this thing, the country will last forever!"

"Pfft!"

The two most considerate eunuchs knelt down with tears streaming down their faces...

Isn't this their long-cherished wish?

……

Standing on the roof of the Meridian Gate building, Hao Yaoqi saw the three main halls of the palace brightly lit.

Shocked and at the same time, he yelled:

"Push the switch!"

"Kakkaka!"

Just after the "sun and moon took on a new look" in the sky dissipated, the entire Meridian Gate Square lit up in an instant.

"Om!

This is……"

Tens of thousands of officials crowded outside the Meridian Gate exclaimed in unison.

Everyone's eyes widened and they looked at the small glass bubble hanging on the street lamp in disbelief...

Just such a small thing, so bright and dazzling?

The lights on the palace seemed to be contagious, and began to extend into the distance along the three imperial roads in the east, south, and west facing the Meridian Gate.
