June 1, 1833, London, Westminster Abbey.
The two grand coronations have reached their climax!
Yes, two coronations, not one.
One was the formal coronation of the Queen and King of the United Kingdom - Victoria had been crowned once before at Windsor Castle, but it was not a formal coronation, but a temporary coronation. Because according to British tradition, the coronation of the king and queen must be held solemnly in Westminster Abbey, London. However, before the official coronation, a temporary ceremony can be held to inherit the throne. Then choose an "auspicious day", and the Anglican Archbishop will solemnly crown the King of England in Westminster Abbey.
There can be a gap of several months or even longer between accession and coronation.
Moreover, according to the secret peace agreement reached between the Ming Dynasty and Queen Victoria's authorities, Ming Dynasty King Zhu Xi and Victoria had to attend the court together, one as the king and the other as the queen.
So today's coronation of the United Kingdom at Westminster Abbey is a coronation of the Queen and the King together - the order is Queen first, then King, to show that Victoria who became Queen according to the line of inheritance is superior to becoming King because of marriage. Juhi Uranium.
The other coronation was the coronation of the emperor and queen of the Indian Empire - this crown was also crowned by the archbishop of the Anglican Church, but the order was changed to the emperor in front and the queen in the back, and there were no two saints coming together. Say, Victoria is not the Queen of India, but the Empress of India.
The reason for this arrangement seems to be that Victoria suffered a loss, but in fact the Indian Empire was already a piece of flesh under the knife of the Ming Dynasty. If it really wanted to chop it into pieces, it would be a matter of hand and knife. So now that Victoria has given up the throne to Zhu Xiyan, she won't suffer any disadvantage as the queen herself. She has a "cold-blooded good girl" temperament anyway.
Oh, this cold blood belongs to the subjects of her rule, especially the Irish and Indians. Under her rule, hundreds of thousands of Irish people starved to death, and God knows how many more died of starvation in India? And her obedience and obedience are only for her handsome husband, and she is too lazy to manage the country. After getting married, she just happens to be a free-spirited king, and it makes no difference whether she is a queen or a queen.
Zhu Xi is still very concerned about the title of emperor - the emperor of India is also an emperor!
Although this India is not as big as the Ming Dynasty, it is not small at all. It has millions of square kilometers, and these lands are basically "effective lands", which are lands suitable for human growth and residence, with suitable climate and sufficient water resources. Although the Ming Dynasty was large, its "effective territory", before taking over the Southern Continent, the Oregon Colony, and Malaya, was only more than 6 million square kilometers, which was only more than 2 million square kilometers more than the effective territory of the Indian Empire.
In addition, India has a large population, more than 20 million!
Such a big India and so many Indians will all respect Zhu Xi'an from now on. Even if he is respected as "Emperor of India" instead of "Emperor of India", Zhu Xi'an is quite satisfied.
At this time, Archbishop William Howley of Canterbury, who was wearing a tiara, had already walked up to Zhu Xi'an, who was sitting side by side with Victoria, holding a newly made crown, and was about to put the crown on Zhu Xi'an's head. At this moment, Zhu Xiyan, who was dressed in the military uniform of a Western monarch, suddenly stood up. While Archbishop William Howley was in a daze, he reached out and picked up the heavy crown inlaid with many diamonds and precious stones stolen from India. He raised the crown high, then stared angrily at the distinguished guests from all over the world who came to watch the ceremony. He suddenly shouted and shouted in Chinese: "My Heavenly Father and the Emperor gave it to me, no one else dares to covet it!"
After saying this, he put the Indian crown on his head, and then took a queen's crown from an assistant of William Howley, Archbishop of Canterbury, and put it on his wife Victoria's head.
The first coronation ceremony of the Indian emperor and queen is almost complete here.
The reason why it was the first coronation was that the couple Zhu Xi and Victoria had to take the most honorable battleship of the Royal Navy to go to the capital of the Indian Empire for another coronation.
The coronation ceremony held in India was much more lively than the one held in the UK. The coronation ceremony held in the UK was only presided over by the Archbishop of the Anglican Church, while the coronation ceremony in India was attended by various sects and sects. You have to teach me all over again.
Just as Zhu Xi was crowning himself and crowning his wife Victoria, Zhuge Weijiu, who had come all the way to watch the ceremony, was cracking his fingers and introducing the upcoming coronation in India to Commander Zhuge Weidao of the Atlantic Fleet. What a lively ceremony!
"It will be lively by then. The Heavenly Father Emperor's family alone includes the Anglican Church, the Universal Church in Rome, the Rakshasa Oriental Orthodox Church, and the Ming Dynasty's God Worshiping Society. The Buddha's family, on the other hand, The Great Lama of Xueyu, the abbot of Nalanda Temple, the abbot of Shaolin Temple in Putian, and the master of Hongan Temple in Japan. The Taoist lineage is the real person of Quanzhen Sect and the heavenly master of Zhengyi Sect. Tianfang Sect is founded by the caliph of the Arab Empire. Send a big H, the Sikhs are their own guru. Of course, the coronation in India also involves the high priests of the big Hindu temples!"
Hearing so many font sizes, Zhuge Weidao felt a little dizzy and said with a smile: "Oh, there are more than a dozen of them, it's almost like a martial arts conference."
"What martial arts conference?" Zhuge Wei hadn't seen martial arts for a long time, but he didn't go into details. He just stroked his white beard and said with a smile, "These are the big sects I'm talking about, and there are many smaller sects I haven't seen yet. Let’s talk! If you include them all, there will be dozens of them.”
"So many? Is it necessary?"
"Of course!" Zhuge Weijiu said with a sly smile, "As much as possible, we should establish one country and one religion. Even if it is not possible, we should try our best to let these sects win some feudal states in India and become the state religion. Different religions, Why don’t we conspire against each other?”
"I see," Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "Great Military Advisor, it is right to give Indians more state religions, but religion alone may not be enough. We also have to work hard on language and culture. We cannot Let them use English as their common language.”
"Then what? Urdu?" Zhuge Weijiu asked.
"That's not good either," Zhuge Weidao thought for a while, "Urdu is a Persian dialect and there are many people who understand it. It's too easy to form a common language."
"Then what?" Zhuge Weijiu thought for a while, "In Chinese?"
Zhuge Weidao smiled and said: "How about trying to restore Sanskrit? It sounds quite annoying. It is not easy for ordinary people to learn it, so it will not be easy for the Indian Empire to form a unified language. I think those feudal states will definitely If they support it, they don’t want India to become a unified country in the future, right?”
As he spoke, Zhuge Weidao glanced at Zhu Xiyou, who had already put on the crown and was giving a speech. This guy looked better and was very excited, as if he was ready to mess around in India. look.
Thinking of this, he said to Zhuge Weijiu: "Great Military Advisor, I think this Indian Empire will not survive sooner or later. We must arrange a future for India to be divided into dozens of countries!"
"Will it not work?" Zhuge Weijiu frowned, "Why?"
Zhuge Weidao lowered his voice and said: "World War II"
