But at this moment, with the cover of those drums, the ministers who were just whispering unconsciously raised their voices.
The center of their discussion at the moment was Gao Zhang, who was already wearing a purple robe at a young age. Speaking of which, it was because of the rumors that had been widely circulated during this period.
It is said that this child prodigy had a good family background, inherited his father's mantle and was proficient in military strategy. He was even better than his predecessors, and he created an unprecedented method of military training.
In this spring review, the child prodigy champion came in and out of the Palace Commander's mansion to make plans, and he contributed a lot.
However, these rumors fell on the ears of those officials, and everyone did not agree with them.
I even think that this is most likely Gao Qiu, a lieutenant who rose to power by playing football, talking nonsense everywhere in order to praise his own son.
As for some military ministers who vowed that Gao Zhang did have several brushes, these gentle scholars all showed meaningful expressions when they heard this.
You guys are vulgar warriors, and you must not even be good at flattering. You saw the ball-playing lieutenant there touting his own son.
In addition to dancing with guns and clubs, you guys are just the generals of the Palace Commander's Palace who are very brave and fierce. Naturally, you can't tell the true face of Gao Qiu and his son in Lushan. Just join in the trend and make a fuss without thinking.
Liu Zhongwu, together with a group of military officials, stood up and looked at the phalanx that was heading this way.
Liu Zhongwu was quite nervous, if not for any other reason than because his own son Liu Qi was now in this phalanx of sword and shield hands, marching at the forefront as the squad leader.
It can be said that many young generals almost broke their heads for this eye-catching and coquettish position.
But in the end, his own son Liu Qi, who walked around the mansion of Captain Gao all the time, finally won the unanimous approval of a group of generals with his most standard and handsome walking and military posture.
Of course, Gao Zhang's contribution is indispensable here. Erlang Liu Qi told himself that he often went to Gao Taiwei's residence in order to get guidance from Gao Zhang, a young military training master.
After all, this kind of military posture, walking posture, and even movements such as wielding a knife, raising a gun, holding a flag, etc. were all made by Gao Zhang, and no one knows the secrets better than him.
This made Liu Zhongwu secretly happy that among the young nephews, Erlang seemed confident to the point of being a little unruly.
It was really the best thing to be able to have a close relationship with this wise nephew of Guizhang, who was favored by the official family, and even be able to humbly ask for advice from this young man who was several years younger than him.
And Gao Guizhang, at such a young age, not only speaks and acts without childishness, but even after you have an in-depth communication with him, you can completely forget his age and his childish voice.
He is indeed a child prodigy who was able to win the first prize at the age of eleven. It is no wonder that he is so loved by the officials. He has been given a purple goldfish bag less than a year after joining the officialdom.
#####
Naturally, Zhao Ji, an official, would not stand there and look around like that vulgar warrior.
Instead, he maintained the majesty of the Song Dynasty official family and continued to sit calmly, waiting for the arrival of the phalanx of sword and shield hands.
At that time, the team was less than a hundred steps away from the viewing platform where the official Zhao Ji and others were and the general standing platform.
Gao Qiu, who was still a little nervous at first, couldn't help but look back in the direction of his son.
Then he raised his arms and made a gesture.
The originally shocking drum sound suddenly fell silent.
This made everyone confused. What, the drums were all broken? Or maybe Taiwei Gao Qiu issued the wrong military order?
Official Zhao Ji couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at Gao Qiu who was on the general's stage diagonally in front of him.
I really don’t know what to say. Your Gaoqing family is the number one military minister in the Song Dynasty. How could you make such a mistake? For this reason alone, you are far inferior to your little Gao.
The official Zhao Ji, after all, took Gao Qiu's face as the host of this parade into consideration and did not say anything.
As a result, he saw Gao Qiu, wearing a helmet, raising his arm again.
"Hey, official, look, that team is not in chaos at all..."
Yang Jian's whispered reminder came to his ears. Official Zhao Ji turned his head slightly and saw the phalanx of hundreds of people, still moving forward, even though there was no sound of drums.
However, the rhythm of their steps still seemed so strong and vigorous, without any disorder.
At this moment, both the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty on the viewing platform, and the people in Tokyo who were isolated outside the school grounds, all shut up their whispers.
In this team, the twenty-five soldiers at the front all held a flag in their hands, and further ahead was a flag bearer holding a larger flag.
On his left and right, there was a sword and shield bearer on each side, and the squad leader Liu Qi was marching at the front.
The moment the drum beat stopped, Liu Qi blew the bamboo whistle in his mouth immediately.
As he approached less than sixty steps to the front of the viewing platform, Liu Qi shouted loudly. "Goose-step!"
Then more than 350 soldiers in the phalanx of swords, shields and swords behind him shouted "One! Two!" in unison as if they were one person.
Accompanied by the roar, the originally slow-moving phalanx suddenly changed. All the swords at the waist of sword and shield hands were unsheathed and pointed toward the sky, and then they stood in front of them, with low round shields protecting their sides.
And under their feet, they stepped out in uniform, exciting and heroic steps.
At this moment, the eyes of people inside and outside the school were all shocked by the momentum displayed by the sword and shield wielders, as well as their uniform formation, which could be compared with a ruler.
The uniform military posture shocked everyone present. Even the official Zhao Ji, who had only been sitting quietly, couldn't help but stand up.
Yes, in the past, the steps of the soldiers followed the beat of the drums, the ranks were lined up, and the flags were flying. That was it. At most, they only shouted a few more slogans.
But now, the group of soldiers in front of them have become the focus of the entire Spring Parade of the Song Dynasty just by virtue of their military appearance, their pace, and their formation.
"...There was not even the sound of drums, but they were able to walk so neatly, with high morale. This, this..."
"I have never seen or heard of such a vigorous military posture, such a neat formation..."
At this moment, the sword and shield hand phalanx had marched about twenty steps in front of the auditorium. With a sharp shout from the squad leader Liu Qi, he then looked towards the direction of the auditorium.
Everyone in the entire phalanx behind them looked towards the viewing platform...
When the entire phalanx team came to the front of the viewing platform, Qi Qi shouted loudly again,
The entire formation, all the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, shouted loudly and uniformly.
"Long live your Majesty, the Song Dynasty will be victorious, Long live your Majesty, the Song Dynasty will be victorious..."
The roar of hundreds of people, like one person, instantly spread throughout the school grounds, and after three shouts.
The voice suddenly subsided again, and the team continued to move forward and walked dozens of steps before returning to normal marching.
At this moment, the sound of war drums sounded again, and the phalanx waiting to be inspected in the distance began to march towards this side.
Standing behind the official, Yang Jian's mind was swaying as he watched, and he felt like he was trembling with excitement from the majestic and pure manly aura.
Seeing the official's face turning red, he turned his head and gave instructions quickly to him.
"Where's Xiao Gao? Let him come to me quickly. Go!"
At this moment, the second phalanx: the phalanx of archers, was about to reach the designated position and was about to goose-step forward.
Cai Jing stared blankly at the phalanx of sword and shield hands that had left the viewing platform and drifted away, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gao Zhang.
Tong Guan looked at the two beards he had just pulled off with great distress. He couldn't help but look at Gao Zhang, who was wearing a purple robe and squatting with his beloved son Tong Zhisheng and Cai Laoliu. passed...
Thank you all for your support and understanding. Thank you all for being busy outside these days...
