After several days of research by the Ministry of War, it was decided that the entire military parade would start at Qingming Gate, the main gate of the East City Gate, pass by Bacheng Gate, then Fu'an Gate, and finally arrive at Xi'an Gate, which is where the military parade is held. All the officials were arranged on the top of the Xi'an Gate.
The location has been selected, but the mobilization of troops and horses is still a big problem.
The Military Governor's Office is in charge of the country's military forces, so the Military Governor's Office has to come forward in this matter. Due to the situation in Bingzhou, the governor Ma Chao and the governor Wei Yan both led their troops outside. Only the Taiwei Zhang Liao and the governor Gan Ning were stationed in Chang'an with all the soldiers and horses from all over the world.
When Yan Xiang came to the Military Governor's Mansion, Zhang Liao went to Lantian.
When Gan Ning saw Yan Xiang coming in, he immediately stood up to greet him: "Yan Shangshu! You just happened to be here. I was planning to go find you."
Yan Xiang hurriedly returned the greeting: "Is it for the military parade?"
Gan Ning asked Yan Xiang to sit down, ordered someone to look at the tea and said, "This is exactly what happened. Before Zhang Taiwei left, he asked me to discuss this matter with the Ministry of War. If you need help from our Military Governor's Office, just ask."
Although the Ministry of War is called the Ministry of War, the army is not managed by the Ministry of War, but is directly ordered by the Military Governor's Office. The Ministry of War only manages the arsenal of the army and the affairs of the national city defense army.
The nationwide military parade, of course, involves the military, and it can only be organized by people from the Military Governor's Office.
Now that all the troops in Bingzhou have withdrawn and returned to garrison in various places, the Military Governor's Mansion has been very busy for the past two days because of this matter. It is also even more busy because it has to coordinate with the Ministry of War to hold a grand military parade. Fortunately, many talents have emerged from the Military Knowledge Academy in the past few years, so that the Military Governor's Mansion can operate smoothly.
Yan Xiang said: "Our Ministry of War discussed the entire process of the military parade, wrote a memorial and submitted it to Shangcheng Pavilion. The three Prime Ministers read it, signed it and sent it to the Holy One in a hurry, so we here must make preparations in advance. Since It is a grand military parade, so naturally the number of people cannot be too small, so our total number of people in this military parade is 30,000."
"Thirty thousand people?"
Gan Ning touched his chin and thought for a while and said, "Thirty thousand people are not too many, but the Qingming Gate is so big. I'm afraid 30,000 people can't open it."
Yan Xiang said: "It is naturally impossible to place them all at East Qingming Gate. The first troops were placed at Qingming Gate, and the other troops were placed at Xuanping Gate and Luocheng Gate. When the military parade began, the troops began to move from Xi'an Gate in sequence. Go over and let the Holy One inspect you."
"In what order?"
"The cavalry will start, followed by heavy armored infantry, infantry, Modao battalion, strong crossbow battalion, chariot battalion, speed battalion, secret troops, and finally the navy."
"Where do the navy go from?"
"We will first arrange to wait at Jieshuipei. When it is the navy's turn, we will then go down the nullah and go to Zhangcheng Gate to be inspected by the Holy Majesty."
Gan Ning nodded, "Okay, what you said is satisfactory. The cavalry from Bingzhou will come from Bingzhou soon and select the best from them to participate in the military parade. As for the navy and infantry, I will give it to Nanyang Commander Chen Wu and Yizhou Commander Lu Xun issued an order, telling them to arrive before the Holy One returns to the capital."
Yan Xiang thanked: "Thank you very much Governor Gan for your support."
Gan Ning smiled and waved his hand, the two exchanged a few words and then went about their business.
…
News about the Dajing military parade was flying all over the place, and the Dajingdi newspaper also reported on it one day at a time. Finally, it was reported that advanced secret weapons appeared during the military parade.
This news once again ignited the city of Chang'an.
The hidden guards hidden in Chang'an City and Liu Chu's spies passed on the secrets of Dajing's residence. After all, Dajing's secret weapons would refresh their knowledge every time, so they had to be on guard.
First, the appearance of stirrups caused the Huns to flee, the appearance of trebuchets almost killed Cao Cao, the appearance of Modao allowed Dajing to defend the strong enemy at Xiaofengkou, and the flower-pierced armor-piercing crossbow cost Xu Gongming his life. At Gu Pass, Liu Bei's fast chariot defeated Jianmen Pass.
I don’t know what advanced weapons Dajing secretly developed next.
This news has raised everyone's expectations.
Whether it was Liu Chu, Cao Wei or Sun Wu, they all used the guise of celebrating the military parade to investigate the existence of secret weapons and make countermeasures as soon as possible.
So, the three countries all sent celebration delegations to Chang'an.
Qin Mi, the Minister of Rites, had a big head. His Majesty's dragon driver would arrive in Chang'an in three days. Unexpectedly, Liu Chu's envoy was like a wolf being chased from behind. It took five days from Luoyang to Chang'an and three days from Xiangyang to Chang'an. The sky is here.
"How afraid are Liu Bei's people of missing the military parade?"
Qin Mi couldn't help but complain, but had to prepare for it.
Originally, Qin Mi wanted to ask his friend Yi Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, to help him. Unexpectedly, Yi Ji was even busier than him. After the nationwide implementation of land-dividing taxation, the busy people in Yi Ji lost weight and their eyes were filled with tears. It sank. Seeing Yi Ji's appearance, Qin Mi couldn't find the words to ask for help.
Fortunately, there are many talented people in the Sixth Department.
Five days later.
Long Jia has not yet appeared, but Jingqian's army has already appeared outside Chang'an City. Countless people learned that the Holy Jia was back and went to Xi'an Gate to welcome the Holy Jia. On November 20th, the weather was already turning into ice. There was still snow outside, and it was completely white.
Zhang Xiu wore a maroon silk Pegasus leather robe and a black fox-leg satin crown on his head. He got into the dragon carriage with a glowing face and a glowing face. Since Sun Shangxiang is an unmarried queen, she cannot show up and can only be carried in the dragon carriage.
Standing in the middle of the door, Shang Chengge Sanxiang saw Zhang Xiu and took the lead in kneeling down to worship the mountain and call him long live the mountain.
Then all the civil and military officials knelt down and worshiped Shan Hu.
The people of Chang'an City, who were surrounded by Jingqian's army, could not see Zhang Xiu's face clearly, but they saw that the officials inside were all kneeling down and praying, "Long Live the Mountain".
The group's voice was deafening.
Inside the dragon carriage, Sun Shangxiang was shocked when she heard the cry from the mountain. She quickly opened the thick curtain of the carriage and looked out, only to see that the ground was covered with black heads of people kneeling down, submerging the white snow on the ground.
I was shocked. I didn't expect that Zhang Xiu's status in the hearts of the people was so high.
Zhang Xiu's face was filled with a smile. The purpose of this trip to Songshan was achieved, and he also got a queen with extraordinary beauty and a hidden guard. With a bright light in his black and ferocious eyes, he stood in front of the dragon driver and raised his hand: "Everyone loves you for your peace! Everyone loves your people for peace!"
In order to let the people outside hear his voice, Zhang Xiu used his inner strength.
The thick voice spread like a wave in the cold winter air. The people outside were surprised that they could hear the emperor's voice, and mistakenly thought that they were experiencing phantom voices. When they asked the people next to them if they heard it, it turned out that it was What he heard was the emperor's voice.
Suddenly, all the people were excited and excited.
Before Jia Xu and others had finished thanking their Lord for his kindness, the people outside had already shouted their thanks in unison, so Jia Xu and others could only shout after them.
Seeing that the people's support was high, Zhang Xiu simply did not return to the dragon chariot. He stood on the dragon chariot and accepted the warm welcome of the people. From entering the city through Xi'an Gate to the entrance of the palace, the people crowded around Zhang Xiu's dragon chariot until Disappeared at the entrance of the palace.
Jia Xu and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
