Early in the morning on the third day of March, the sky was still dark, and the dull sound of war drums broke the tranquility of Liangshan Town.
In the military camp, the soldiers have gathered. They are all wearing fine iron armor and holding gleaming weapons. There are black necklaces hanging from the iron helmets. They are carrying various weapons on their backs, including bows and arrows, hand crossbows, shields, and weapons. Short spears, arrow pots, daggers, daggers, and daggers hanging on their waists, all of them were armed to the teeth.
"Get out of camp!"
Li Zhu gave the order.
The 13th Battalion of the Horse Army, Lin Chong, Du Bo, Sun An, Wang Jin, Yang Zhi, Tang Bin, Hua Rong, Pang Wanchun, Yu Sheng, Yuan Lang, Zhang Qing, Qin Ming, and Yue Fei each led their two thousand soldiers and horses from the military camp. out.
The tenth infantry battalion, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Xu Ning, Li Kui, Li Yan, Feng Tai, Ma Tie, Teng Kan, Shi Jin, and Shi Xiu each led their troops and horses and walked out from the other side of the barracks.
"We are all leaders, how come you, a young general, got in here?"
Li Kui, who was wearing heavy black armor, looked at Li Yao next to him and said proudly, his tone was one part proud and one part sarcastic.
"You Iron Bull, my brother has agreed to let me lead the army, but it's your turn to take charge!"
Li Yan glared at Li Kui and said, it was the first time in Liangshan that he was promoted to a young general.
"Tieniu, why are you talking so much? Today is a big day. If you dare to act arrogant, I will sink you into the water!"
Wu Song glared at Li Kui. This guy would get into trouble if he didn't beat him. Today is too important to cause trouble.
"I am telling the truth!"
Li Kui muttered a few words in a low voice, but his voice was barely audible.
"Tieniu, stop talking!"
Bao Xu on the side also reminded Li Kui. Of course he knew that Li Kui was deliberately showing off. Everyone else had a battalion of two thousand men, but they were the only ones trapped in a camp of four thousand men.
"hey-hey!"
Li Kui smiled proudly.
The army left the barracks and headed south of Liangshanbo under the lights, lining up in the open space outside the town.
The sound of war drums awakened the people in Liangshan Town. Looking at the army arrayed outside the town, they were a little confused. Today is the founding ceremony of Liangshan. Why are the army still marching outside the town?
A touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, the dull sound of horns sounded on the Liangshan mooring, and giant ships were arrayed on the water.
"Look, bridge! It's a bridge!"
As the sky gradually grew brighter, the people of Liangshan Town suddenly discovered that a pontoon bridge had appeared on the water bank, connecting all the way from the golden beach to the south bank of the water bank, and Liangshan's warships were on both sides of the pontoon bridge.
"Such a long bridge was built overnight!"
The people in Liangshan Town kept rubbing their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Liangshan Lake has a radius of 800 miles. The widest part of the water park is tens of miles away from the shore, and the closest point to the shore is to the south. The Golden Beach is only more than ten miles away from the south shore.
The pontoon bridge is about three feet wide. It is made of flat wooden boats covered with planks and tied together with iron chains. There are black flags on both sides of the pontoon bridge with seal script characters embroidered on them. The two rows of flags rustle in the wind.
Halfway up the mountain behind the golden beach, the main hall is already splendid. The sun shines down, and the golden roof and glazed tiles reflect the rays of light. Dots of morning glow float in the sky, like golden flowers surrounding it. The entire Liangshan Mountain is like a paradise in heaven.
The sun has fully risen, and the drums and trumpets are sounding on Liangshan Mountain.
Outside Liangshan Town, the army also responded with drums and trumpets.
"Entering the mountain, congratulations to my brother! Congratulations to your majesty!!"
Li Zhu yelled, rode his horse and led the army away towards the pontoon bridge.
The army went straight to Liangshan Town, and the people who were watching the ceremony in the town got out of the way and made way.
First, the 13th Battalion of the Horse Army entered Liangshan Town in sequence, followed by the 10th Battalion of the Infantry Army.
The soldiers and horses did not move very fast, and the common people were secretly surprised by the equipment that was so sophisticated that it could be used by several people. With this kind of equipment, even an ordinary person would have some confidence on the battlefield.
The Liangshan army slowly passed through Liangshan Town, walked onto the floating bridge, and headed towards the golden beach.
"Everyone, today is the day when our country of Qi was founded, and it is also the day of His Majesty's enthronement. I specially invite you all to watch the ceremony on the mountain. Those who are interested can go up the mountain from the pontoon bridge!"
Zhu Fu smiled and said to the people in Liangshan Town that since so many people were invited to watch the ceremony, they should naturally go up the mountain.
"Long live Long live Long live!"
There was a burst of cheers. Those who dared to come to Liangshan to watch the ceremony naturally wanted to witness all this, and who would want to miss such a good thing if they could go to Liangshan to see it.
Xie Zhen and Xie Bao have already led their soldiers to wait in formation at the head of the pontoon bridge on the south bank. After the army returns, family members will have priority to pass through.
"Military advisor, why bother building a bridge? Isn't it faster to use a boat?"
Looking at the people walking on the pontoon, Sun Lei touched his chin and said. At this time, Sun Lei was wearing a black and gold dragon robe and a crown on his head.
Ten miles is not a short distance, but for people in this era, it is just walking and having fun. An old man in his sixties can easily finish it in half an hour, and young people can even finish it in half an hour.
"Brother, the boat is naturally simple, but the road to the sky cannot be so easy. These people must go up the mountain step by step and with awe!"
Xiao Jiasui smiled and said, although Liangshan does not bully the people, it still needs its own majesty. It is a great honor to go up the mountain to watch the ceremony. Those who watch the ceremony must walk the more than ten miles of road.
"whatever!"
Sun Lei shrugged. Although he didn't like this, he had to say that what Xiao Jiasui said was reasonable. If it made sense, then he had to listen.
"Brother, what about the confession and the memorial?"
Wen Huanzhang looked at Sun Lei and asked.
"I didn't even remember a single thing!"
Sun Lei rolled his eyes at Wen Huanzhang. He had difficulty reading and reading the obscure words on more than a dozen pieces of paper. How could he memorize them overnight? Just kidding?
"Brother, this..."
Wen Huanzhang didn't expect that Sun Lei didn't write down any of it.
"Military advisor, I'm not telling you to write it more simply. That imperial edict someday will be good, simple and easy to understand. I can't understand what you are saying, so how can I memorize it!"
Sun Lei took out the letters from his arms and said helplessly.
"Brother, forget it if you didn't write it down, it's the same thing if you read it!"
Xiao Jiasui said, "Most of the people here in Liangshan are grassy and they won't care about this. The people watching the ceremony don't understand even more. If there are too many people, they probably won't even look at the situation on the altar."
Wen Huanzhang had no choice but to give up. In his mind, Sun Lei should memorize the expressions by heart, recite them eloquently on the stage, and then take out the expressions and burn them.
"That's right, don't worry about these details. We are bandits and bandits who have ascended the throne. There is no need to follow the orthodox routine. Just finish it in a lively manner."
Sun Lei said, if you really follow Zhou Li's way, then you will be wrong. You have to have your own style of doing things.
On Liangshan Mountain, the sound of drums continued. The army went up the mountain at sunrise, and the people followed closely. For two hours, the ceremony will be held at noon.
On the golden beach, the horse army arrayed on the left and the infantry arrayed on the right. A large open space in the middle was left for the people watching the ceremony. (End of chapter)
