There are still two days before Zhengdan, and several main streets in the capital have begun to implement martial law. A large number of soldiers have begun to move towards the imperial city. This has never happened before. Under the curtains, I don’t know what is placed. Sergeants holding swords and guns Guarding.
The capital was decorated with lanterns and colorful banners, and the flag of the Ming Dynasty was hoisted. Originally, Zhu Houzhao wanted to make a national flag for the past life, but after being opposed by everyone, he had no choice but to give up. After all, now is not the previous life, and it is just a meeting rather than a memory.
The square in front of the Imperial City is the venue for the military parade. The 12th Regiment Battalion, as well as Zhang Zhong's Iron Eagle Guard, Wang Shouren's Datong garrison, Jinzhou Army, and Xuanfu Army will also participate this time. They are the army that won the victory. , select a part, refer to the middle square formation, the leader is naturally the Iron Eagle Guard, followed by the 12th Regiment Battalion, and the final highlight is the full thermal weapons drill square formation.
In AD 1506, the first year of Zhengde, there was a grand military parade on the first day of the first lunar month.
It was still dark, and the capital was already crowded with people. The people stood along the street and looked out of the city. Soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion and Wucheng Army and Horses Division were on duty along the way. The people did not make any commotion and stood in an orderly manner. Zhu Houzhao wanted to do something There is no curfew in the capital for ten days, and hot air balloons take turns pulling colorful silks in the sky to wish the Ming Dynasty an undefeated future and eternal prosperity.
Xishan Camp and Beishan Camp were ready to go early. Their respective generals were giving loud lectures and giving final mobilization encouragement: "Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. We are the elite of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty is wise and mighty. He said that we are the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty." , is a solid shield for the people, so don’t let down His Majesty’s high hopes and trust, don’t embarrass yourself, show your achievements to the emperor, show your achievements to the ministers in the imperial city, and show it to the people. , we are the Ming Dynasty and the Great Wall!"
"Let's go and accept the emperor's review." The general raised his hand excitedly.
"Set off!"
"Set off!"
Such sounds resounded in Xishan Camp and Beishan Camp. They walked towards the imperial city in an orderly and uniform manner. Their steps were on the ground, which was shocking. The soldiers' brand-new armors, sharp blades, stern faces, murderous intent Soaring and intimidating.
The people felt their heartbeats suddenly stopped, then their blood boiled and their breathing quickened. This is the army of the Ming Dynasty. Look at the glorious military appearance, like soldiers from heaven. It was they who defeated the Tatars who invaded the Ming Dynasty. The peaceful life of the Ming Dynasty, such soldiers are the image of soldiers in the hearts of the people.
This is the cutest person, mighty, mighty~!
The people spontaneously sang the military song. This military song composed by His Majesty himself made people's blood boil as soon as they heard it, and they wished they could defend the country generously.
Who said that a good man should not be a soldier, as long as he is well-educated, I will not be inferior to you.
Zhang Zhong's 5,000 Iron Eagle Guards led the way, walking in a uniform pace, five people in a row, all wearing black armor and Ming Dynasty black plug military boots, walking in a neat rhythm. At this time, the first ray of sunshine in the sky happened to be Appearing, the sun shines on the black armor of the Iron Eagle Guard, and the cold light shines in all directions, which is breathtaking.
Behind them are Wang Shouren's Datong garrison, followed by the Xuanfu and Jinzhou troops, followed by the 12th regiment camp. Under the Zhengyang Gate, hundreds of officials have been waiting early, and the civil and military generals are standing separately. On the city tower, there are large soldiers of third rank or above. He is a distinguished minister and an envoy of a vassal country.
The silent march of the army in the distance made everyone hold their breath. The sense of oppression was too strong. I had never noticed that these big soldiers had such a terrifying momentum in the past. I couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in my heart.
Liu Jin held the Golden Sword of Heaven in his hand and followed behind Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao walked up to the city tower with his hands behind his back, high-spirited and high-spirited. He chose Zhengyang Gate because he wanted everyone to feel the power of the Ming Dynasty army. It is powerful. If you choose other ones, it will be a little bit worse, and the meaning is good, Zhengyang, Zhengde, the meaning is very good.
Zhu Houzhao climbed up the tower. The ministers and more than a dozen phalanx reviewing troops below who had been waiting for a long time knelt down and shouted.
Long live our emperor~!
The sun just happened to shine on Zhu Houzhao's body, and the golden robe was even more majestic, adding a sense of sacred solemnity. Just listen to his words: "I, since I ascended the throne, upholding the will of my ancestors, Taizu expelled the Tatars and saved the world from dire straits. Chengzu personally conquered the desert grasslands several times, and his achievements were shining, and he never compromised with the barbarians. However, over the past hundred years, Tatar, Oara, Jiaozhi, southwest Yunnan and Guizhou, and the southeast coast have made Ming Dynasty restless on nine sides, and my heart is very sad."
Zhu Houzhao looked down. Everyone was looking at him. The people looked in admiration, the ministers were solemn and thoughtful, and the army looked in reverence, waiting for His Majesty's review.
"Some time ago, the Tatars came to invade the border again. They were unscrupulous and lustful. They killed and robbed our people in the Ming Dynasty. It was like entering a deserted land. I was very angry. Why were they so unscrupulous? Why could they not let the Ming Dynasty go? In my eyes, I ignored the advice of my ministers and opposed the personal expedition, and resolutely led the army to Datong. Fortunately, the soldiers sacrificed their lives and were able to destroy the Tatars in one battle. The Duoyan three-part coalition army numbered 130,000. Who said that my Ming army has fallen? , do you think you have fallen?" Zhu Houzhao asked loudly.
Kill, kill, kill~!
Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, their voices filling the sky with murderous intent, using their attitudes to prove that they had not fallen.
The ministers on the tower are not very satisfied with your Majesty's words. Could it be that these warriors are the only ones in your eyes?
Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with their attitude. He took the Emperor's Golden Sword from Liu Jin and pulled it out. Under the sunlight, he looked heroic. He raised the sword forward and said word by word: "Da, Ming, Wan, Sheng."
Won, Won, Won! ! !
Zhang Zhong stood up at the right time and commanded: "Iron Eagle Guards, the first square formation, accept your Majesty's review and come out."
Zhu Houzhao asked them to review the army exactly as they did in their previous lives, with military salutes, spear splitting, and goose-stepping. Although the time was short, the Iron Eagle Guard was the best of all military formations and met the emperor's expectations.
The other teams are inferior in their ability. In this era, when such a novel square team appears, the strong visual shock can be imagined. The uniform steps, all black armor, consistent movements, and consistent heights. When they passed the Zhengyangmen Gate Tower, they fired guns and saluted, and everyone felt their eyes light up and their hearts agitated.
Everyone praised in their hearts, what a mighty army.
Zhang Zhong shouted at the top of his lungs: "The second formation, the Datong Army, is ready to be inspected by His Majesty and march out."
Wang Shouren has a strong execution ability. In less than a month, he has learned the training methods of the Iron Eagle Guards. The Datong garrison has become a model. They are a cold weapon phalanx, holding their swords vertically and performing military salutes. When passing the tower, he saluted Zhu Houzhao.
The soldiers all had firm eyes and adoring eyes, looking towards the wise and mighty Emperor in their hearts.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, causing the ministers to frown again. They had never seen such a majesty before. The three ministers Liu, Li and Xie didn't feel anything at all. They were no longer surprised by Zhu Houzhao's behavior.
As the people of the Ming Dynasty, they also puffed up their chests because the Ming Dynasty had such an army and such an emperor. Being born in the Ming Dynasty was their greatest pride.
The envoys from various countries, especially the envoys from the Japanese and Oara Jiaozhi, were even more frightened. The Ming army had been silent for a hundred years. It was unexpected that there could be such a powerful military. It was really a sign of a great country.
The envoy of the King of Korea was the most excited. The stronger the Ming Dynasty, the stronger they are. Now the giant Ming Dynasty is once again dominating the world, no longer silent, just like the Yongle Emperor a hundred years ago. Let's see who else can bully them. .
The Japanese were unwilling to fail and invaded Goryeo from time to time. The master of the Ming Dynasty only issued orders every time, which made the Japanese more unscrupulous. In addition, the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty was invaded by Japanese pirates and had no time to take care of it. There were also Tatar border troubles in the north. They It can only be endured passively.
The Koryo envoy was beaming, cheering and shouting as if it was a military parade of his own country, and looking provocatively at the Japanese envoy from time to time.
The Japanese envoy ignored him and just stared at the military formation below with worry and fear in his eyes. He was comparing the strength of his own army with that of the Ming Dynasty, and found that there was no comparison at all, whether it was equipment or the quality of the army. There was no comparison. This discovery frightened him and he completely failed to notice the provocation of the Goryeo envoy.
Every time they walked past a square formation, there were loud cheers from below the city tower. The people only saw the strength of the Ming Dynasty soldiers, and they were happy.
The general officers from various military stations who came to participate were thoughtful. After witnessing this unique review, they all felt that their trip was worthwhile. They wondered whether they would do the same thing when they returned, but unfortunately they could not. I don’t know how to get the essentials. It seems that His Majesty has a deep intention in asking them to come.
About an hour later, more than a dozen phalanxes completed the journey. The main event was coming. The live-fire drill was the purpose of Zhu Houzhao asking them to come to the capital. Thermal weapons must be developed. Now we don't let all these big guys see it. Next, wouldn’t it be troublesome to promote it in the future?
Zhang Mao and Zhang Zhong, one a military boss and the other a temporary commander, stood in front of the city tower and bowed down. Zhang Zhong said, "All ground troops have been reviewed. Please give your Majesty's instructions."
When people heard that all the ground troops had been reviewed, could there be an army in the sky? Although envoys from various countries knew that the Ming Dynasty had objects that could fly and carry people, they only heard about it, and few of them had actually seen it, and there was only one. .
In their opinion, it would be great if they could build such a magical thing, but couldn't it be mass-produced?
But the truth is shocking, it is really more than just an airship.
Zhu Houzhao nodded and gestured to Liu Jin.
Liu Jin led the edict down to the tower. He was Zhu Houzhao's imperial "pilot". Without him, how could the airship fly? The training of pilots is very troublesome. Not everyone dares to go up. Although everyone rushes to go up, they are killed when they get up. Scared to pee even more.
When the huge fire-breathing device roared, it flew from the sky to the city gate and stayed in mid-air.
In the flying formation, someone actually counted eleven airships, and there were three people on one. They were all carefully selected by Liu Jin as "pilots." They saluted Zhu Houzhao, and then slowly flew towards the drill. The venue, staying in the sky above more than a dozen phalanxes, can actually stay in the air. This is too scary. I am not afraid of scaring people out.
There is news that when Emperor Ming was in Datong, he brought an airship and defeated the Tatars. Although I don’t know how to do it, manned flight is indeed an incredible thing, but Zhu Houzhao soon This will let them understand what role these airships can play.
Some people may be familiar with it, such as Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing, Zhang Mao, and all the troops below who participated in the battle with the Tatars. Everyone looked at the sky with awe and expectation in their heads, including Zhu Houzhao. He tightened his hands.
This is his masterpiece and this is his expectation.
