C1768 Ryukyu governance 2

All industries were closed. Workers in the factories and workshops took to the streets, the sailors at the docks rushed up the mountain road. Even the women and children, who rarely went out of the city, joined the procession.

Today, the strong sea breeze was level 6 or 7, and from the Pacific Ocean came a biting cold wind that caused flags to flutter. People's clothes and hair flew all over the place, and they couldn't even open their eyes.

The white clouds that filled the sky moved quickly in front of people's eyes. Time seemed to have accelerated, and the changes in the world happened in just a split-second. "Huu."

Within the Tyrant City, the council buildings built with heavy money were currently in the process of being refurbished. Logically speaking, such an important ceremony in an unfinished guild hall was somewhat disrespectful.

But there was no time, the Zhiyuan Warship had already finished their maintenance, and now that the Far Eastern Chinese had received the news of their victory, British Navy's cold face from the day before immediately changed. All the Prussian cargo ships that were seized at the docks were released, the Ryukyu finally found some more ammunition parts.

Zhiyuan Warship entered the dry dock to scrape the bottom of the boat, paint it, replace the damaged parts, and even inspected every rivet on the dragon bone.

ammunition depot had also been replenished, and even the random troop carrier and supply ships had been prepared.

The trip to Europe was about to start. Xiao Letian did not have time to waste, even if the parliament building was not completed, the political offering ceremony would still be held.

"Coming …" Your Majesty is here! " Both sides of the street were filled with people of the Ryukyu kneeling, and at this moment, regardless of whether they were from the different races, all of them were part of the Chinese race, and even the emigrants of Fu Sang were kneeling on the two sides of the road, waiting for the arrival of the imperial carriage s.

The so called imperial carriage was a golden sedan chair without a roof. Dressed in a dragon robe, sat upright and with the Ryukyu's national treasure in her arms, she carried the household map, the Golden Seal and the six seals in her hands.

The stern Shang Tai sat on top of the imperial carriage like a statue, the eight robust men walked steadily, the mountain path was as smooth as flat land, the surrounding commoners knelt together and cried out for ten thousand years, countless people even shed tears.

"Your Majesty! Is the Ryukyu still around... Do you want the Ryukyu to completely disappear? "Your Majesty …" There were some elderly and nostalgic elders in the crowd who rushed out of the military police cordon and directly kneeled in front of the imperial carriage.

Shang Tai looked at the white-haired old man and calmly said, "Wrong! Old sir, you're wrong … Ryukyu will not die. If you want Ryukyu to live for another five hundred years, you can only choose this one option today … "

"If I take this step back, I will be able to trade with a Ryukyu that has existed for five hundred years … It's already worth it! "

The imperial carriage passed by the crying old man, and on the mountain road in front of them was the grand completed building, the Chinese Grand Council, also known as Lower House.

This was the place where the Lower House's offices gathered. It was a closed meeting place that could accommodate twenty thousand people, but other than that, it could also be converted into a opera house to provide entertainment for the citizens at any time.

Only the Parliament of the nobility was a little special. They separated a region from the Shouli City, and with the addition of the expansion of the palace outside the city, it became the location of the Parliament of the nobility.

Although the Parliament of the nobility was the main institution that set the national policy, the Chinese implemented the concept of elite governance. The Parliament of the nobility had the power to propose legislation, had the power to allocate funds, and had the power to appoint and remove officials and nobles.

As the Parliament of the nobility followed the orders of the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister also relied on the Parliament of the nobility to participate in political negotiations.

On the other hand, the largest group of council members formed by the citizens' council, upper house, Citizens' Assembly, etc., was commonly known as the Lower House.

Although there was a difference in names, but in terms of law, the Lower House represented the tens of thousands of Chinese citizens. His political position was higher than the upper house, so had to be here for the first stop.

In front of them was the biggest meeting hall in the Lower House. It was a pillar arcade with a European ancient Greece style design carved into it, each pillar was three stories high, and all sorts of sculptures could be seen on the porch. Some of the windows had already been decorated with gold.

In order to welcome the arrival of Shang Tai, a scaffolding at the main entrance was temporarily removed from the assembly hall. The rest of the areas were still covered by the brown rope net, making it hard for people to see what was going on inside.

But the mere appearance of the corner of the front door was enough to amaze people about the grandeur of the building.

At the moment, none of the Grand Council had chosen an official chairman, all of the person in charge was Xiao Letian, and all of the people in charge was himself.

The temporary chairman of the Science Society was the number one doctor of the Chinese family, Evil Doctor Huang, and the temporary chairman of the military council was Xiao Hexin. Of course, since he was not here today, Sima Yun would replace him.

, the old subject of the original Ryukyu, was the member of the Public Council. On the other hand,'s former subordinate, Jin Changsen was also the Speaker of the.

"It's here!" His Majesty had already arrived at the main entrance of the auditorium! All the representatives quickly welcome him! "

Following the soldier's roar, old shopkeeper, Sima Yun and the rest walked up quickly to the edge of the plaza and looked down the stairs. The imperial carriage s that were surrounded by a sea of people had already slowly stopped walking.

"His Majesty wants to use the imperial carriage? But that's not right, there's no such thing as' this stage 'in the previous rehearsal, so the imperial carriage should have directly gone up to meet them! " Everyone was shocked.

As expected, Shang Tai stepped on the pedal and ordered the soldiers to let him down. The servants by his side were puzzled and wanted to ask about it, but was stopped by Shang Tai.

"I'll go up these hundred steps myself!"

An attendant at the side had served Shang Tai for the rest of his life, so when she heard him, her tears flowed profusely, "Your majesty, you can't do it! You've already given up your country and power, how can you still go up there … imperial carriage s went straight to the palace and accepted the kowtows of all the officials. This is the glory that you deserve! "

"Shut up! What do you know! What time was this? "This is a moment recorded in history. I did not say a single word here, and if I do not take a step, it will be recorded in history, becoming a memory in the hearts of future generations!"

"I have already pledged my allegiance to the government. If I don't get the sympathy of the people in the end, I won't have a chance in the future! In the future, if the Shang Clan wanted to live on, if they wanted to live on in prosperity for a long period of time, there was no other way other than to be cherished by the people! "

"Get off the imperial carriage, I'm going up!"
