Outside the Forbidden City!
Catherine's motorcade took two hours to cross half of the Urban area and arrived outside the Forbidden City at four in the afternoon.
This was Catherine's first time planting flowers, and she had been yelling by the window the entire time. She was like a curious baby, very curious about everything she saw.
Qin Jun acted as a tour guide and answered Catherine's questions in detail.
At this moment, how could Qin Jun not be excited?
Returning to Beijing in 1748 was like a dream.
He had been to Yanjing before he transmigrated, visited the Forbidden City, and climbed the Badaling Great Wall.
However, in the 21st century, Yanjing was a modern city filled with tall buildings and heavy traffic. The Forbidden City did not have the charm of a royal palace. It felt like something was lacking.
What about Beijing in 1748?
The ancient city walls were still there, and there were no high-rise buildings. The Urban area was filled with ancient buildings with the characteristics of the times. Although the streets were paved with internationally popular asphalt roads, it did not affect the traces of history.
"Wow, what a beautiful palace! Aren't Jurchen nomads? They can actually build such a beautiful palace…"
Hearing this, Qin Jun looked at the Forbidden City that was getting closer and closer.
" This is not the palace built by the Jurchen, but the palace built by the flower gardeners. It was built in 1406 and was based on the Ming Palace in Jinling. It was completed in 1420. It covers an area of 720,000 square meters and has a building area of 150,000 square meters. There are more than 70 palaces of various sizes and more than 9,000 houses. It is the imperial palace of the Ming Empire, formerly known as the Forbidden City. It is located in the center of the central axis of Yanjing.”
"The Forbidden City is 961 meters long from north to south and 753 meters wide from east to west. It is surrounded by 10-meter-high city walls and a 52-meter-wide moat outside the city. There are four gates. The Meridian Gate is to the south, the Shenwu Gate is to the north, the Donghua Gate is to the east, and the Xihua Gate is to the west.”
"The internal buildings are divided into two parts, the Outer Court and the Inner Court. The center of the Outer Court is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony, and the Hall of Peace.”
"The left and right wings of the three main halls are complemented by the Hall of Wenhua and the Hall of Martial Valor. The center of the inner court is the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Hall of Jiaotai, and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.”
"The Ming Empire was destroyed. After the Qing court entered the pass, they occupied the magpie's nest. This world's largest imperial palace was also humiliated and trampled on.”
"Rather than letting a fool steal it, it would be better to burn it down in 1644! Let it disappear along with the Ming Empire in the long river of history.”
What?
"So this palace has a history of more than 300 years!" Catherine said in surprise. I thought it was built by the Jurchen.”
A look of disdain appeared on Qin Jun's face.
"They don't know how to create. Their specialty should be destruction.”
Seeing that Qin Jun's mood was not right, Catherine immediately changed the topic.
"Is it a little inappropriate for me to wear a military uniform?”
Catherine touched the grand marshal's military uniform and twisted her shoulders, feeling uncomfortable.
It was Qin Jun's request to wear the marshal's uniform.
As for why he was wearing the grand marshal's uniform and not the empress's, Qin Jun did not explain.
"It's suitable! How is it inappropriate?"
Mr. Qin tidied Catherine's slightly messy shirt.
After the civil strife, the Russian army was reduced from 1.8 million to 1.2 million, of which 800,000 were land forces, 240,000 were air forces, and 160,000 were navies.
In order to completely get rid of the old system, Catherine decided to purchase new military uniforms from the Qin Group.
The new military uniforms of the Russian army, navy, and air force were designed by Qin Jun himself. They were even more handsome than the Germanic military uniforms.
The most handsome was the officer's uniform, a combination of the German military uniform and the 07 military uniform. It was practical and beautiful.
The military uniform of the ordinary soldiers was not bad either. Their combat uniform was a general camouflage (similar to the camouflage of the Yingjiang soldiers), matched with a high-strength alloy helmet that was exactly the same as the game's Level Two Helmet, and they wore medium-sized leather combat boots.
The backpack and tactical vest were also very advanced, and could accommodate any weapon or equipment.
A series of new equipment was distributed and received unanimous praise from the soldiers of the Russian army, greatly boosting their morale.
Compared to the old-fashioned military uniforms that were old-fashioned and inconvenient to wear, the new military uniforms had almost no shortcomings.
Qin Jun smiled. This was the camouflage military uniform that humans had been experimenting with for a long time and constantly modifying before it was universally used. Of course, it was comfortable to wear.
"You are the Empress of Russia, the Grand Marshal of Russia's army, navy, and air force.”
"Wearing a military uniform often not only boosts morale, but it also increases the sense of honor of the soldiers and makes the Russian people proud to join the army and serve the country.”
He understood!
Catherine was very smart and immediately understood what Mr. Qin meant.
The army was the foundation for building a strong country. Therefore, raising the status of soldiers and their sense of honor was the most important thing.
Squeak ~
As the two of them chatted, the convoy stopped in front of Tian 'an Gate.
"Your Majesty, we're here!"
The vice-captain of the Queen's Guards, Alvarez, who was driving, was also tortured along the way. He was even a little flustered!
Because he saw the Empress leaning into Count Qin Jun's arms from time to time and even kissing him occasionally.
？？？
I don't want to see it! Is this something I can see?
Therefore, Alvarez panicked, afraid that the Empress would kill him to silence him.
However, to be honest! He felt that the Empress and the Minister of Industry and Commerce, Count Qin Jun, were very compatible…
Swoosh!
While Alvares was thinking about it, a check from Qin's Investment Bank fell on his lap. The series of numbers on the check made him dizzy. It was 200,000 rubles.
The Queen's cold voice was heard.
"Watch your mouth!"
"Yes, sir! Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Alvarez was not a fool. He hurriedly put away the check.
He also knew that this was not hush money.
Seal? Silencing him without anyone knowing was the best way to keep his mouth shut.
This was a reward from the Empress!
As long as he kept the secret and was loyal to the Empress, was promotion still a dream?
Qin Jun felt that Catherine's actions were a little unnecessary.
Who would leak the secret?
It's not a big deal for the Empress to have a lover!
Moreover, Russia's economy was heavily dependent on the Qin's Group. Millions of Russians were eagerly waiting for the Qin's Group to pay their salaries.
Now that it was announced that Her Majesty's lover was Qin Jun, 70% of the Russians would be happy to see it happen and would not object.
The Queen's guards got off the car and gathered.
What was interesting was that Qin Jun's guards were lined up in front of the Empress's guards.
If it was in the past, the Empress's guards formed by the Russians would definitely not agree!
However, after the civil strife in Russia, the Empress's guards had undergone a major change of personnel. The nobles were removed and replaced with people placed by the Qin Emperor.
After the assembly, under the guidance of the groom, the group passed through Tianamen Gate, Duimen Gate, Meridian Gate…
After entering the majestic and magnificent Forbidden City, Catherine, the accompanying officials, the guards of the Empress, and even Qin Xiong, who had never been to the Imperial Palace before, were all extremely curious.
Only Qin Jun remained calm. His sharp and profound gaze passed through the Meridian Gate and looked at Taihe Palace…
