Chapter 65: Military Parade (Part 2)

After the sound of cannons, the originally quiet Chang'an Street was filled with the sound of horse hooves.

From the direction of Camp Biao, more than ten riders galloped over, and the leader was Tie Xuan, the commander of this military parade.

More than ten people came to the Jinshui Bridge in front of Chengtian Gate and dismounted from their horses. They all knelt on the ground. Tie Xuan kowtowed and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Gengchen Military Parade.

Tie Xuan, long live the visit to our emperor, the troops to be reviewed have been assembled."

Because it was a grand ceremony, Tie Hyun here performed a kneeling ceremony instead of the new military salute.

Zhu Yunwen felt that his throat was a little tight, so he coughed lightly and said, "Let's get started."

Tie Xuan led the guards behind him to stand up, "Blow the trumpet!"

More than ten guardsmen picked up the horns they carried with them and stood scattered by the Jinshui River, puffing up their cheeks and blowing hard.

"Woo!!"

The sound of the horn, full of the smell of battlefield smoke, was thick and high-pitched, and instantly reached the phalanx several miles away. The blurry black shadow in Zhu Yunwen's eyes suddenly "jumped".

"My God, there are really troops stationed there."

Zhu Bai's eyes widened, looking at the gradually clear black shadows in the distance, and an imperceptible "thumping" sound began to ring in his ears.

How do tens of thousands of people stay in one place and there is no sound at all?

Zhu Bai looked at the countless frightened birds above the black shadows in the distance, and couldn't figure out what kind of army could stay in one place for an hour and still remain so quiet?

But, where did this thumping sound come from?

All the princes looked around, and no one was walking around randomly.

Just as he glanced randomly, the thumping sound in his ears became clearer and clearer. Looking for the sound, at this glance, Chengtianmen was stunned.

The so-called black figure at the end of the line of sight had already approached. What came into view were thousands of Ming army soldiers wearing half-body armor and holding new muskets in their arms. The thumping sound just heard was from these thousands of people.

The sound of the leather on your heels hitting the ground as you march.

Only when the legs are opened and dropped at the same time with each step, and only the span and height of each step are exactly the same, can the sound of the landing be short and thick without any noise.

Zhu Yunwen has watched military parades many times in later generations, but this time he was still so excited that his whole body trembled with excitement. His hands in the sleeves of his robes were clenched until they turned white, and his face turned red from suppressing it.

This phalanx is a phalanx of thousands of people with 40 horizontal and 25 vertical dimensions, rather than the more common 100-man phalanx in later generations. It is much more difficult to achieve complete synchronization, but again, it brings

The shock and visual impact are by no means comparable to the 100-man phalanx.

There are three leaders in front of each square, namely one Qianhu and two deputy Qianhu. Each of the three holds a flag high. In the center is the national flag designed by Zhu Yunwen for the Ming Dynasty: the flag is red and the embroidered pattern is the Japanese flag.

On the moon medal, there are gold, sun, silver, moon, dragon, phoenix and beasts. Two deputy Qianhu hold a military flag on one side, which is an earth-colored seat full of gunpowder smoke. There is a big clear character in the center, and the other deputy Qianhu holds a military flag.

, written above (the first guard of the third division of the National Defense Forces)

The organization of the new army is slightly different from that of the local army. There are no changes in the small scale. Ten people are still divided into small banners, fifty people are divided into general flags, one hundred people are divided into one hundred households, and one thousand people are divided into one thousand households. There are slight changes, namely three

A thousand-household camp is a camp, and three battalions are a guard. There are commanders in the guard. There is a command post for a thousand households, including staff officers, political commissars, guards, and scouts. One guard is ten thousand people.

There are divisions on the guard, including three guards and a command battalion, with a total of 33,000 people. Now the new army has seven divisions plus Tie Xuan's teaching guard, and the two reserve guards have a total of 261,000 people.

When the first phalanx marched to Chengtianmen, the leader Qianhu suddenly shouted, "The Ming army is mighty!"

But seeing a thousand people all turning to look at Zhu Yunwen, their walking steps suddenly stopped, and then they kicked out powerfully, and landed heavily on the ground, "Boom!"

The musket held tightly by the soldiers and held diagonally in their arms made a snap sound, and suddenly moved forward, touching the neck of the comrade in front of him less than three inches behind!

"The Ming army is mighty!"

Thousands of people looked at Zhu Yunwen and shouted loudly. Every time he stepped down, there was a neat and deafening "dong" sound, like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the people watching the ceremony at Chengtian Gate.

superior.

Zhu Yunwen's raised hand was trembling slightly, and he shouted solemnly, "Da Ming, mighty!"

Thousands of troops shouted again, "Long live my emperor!"

At this moment, the spirit is soaring to the sky, and the energy is flowing through the rainbow!

The important officials of the imperial court who were standing behind Zhu Yunwen looked pale, and some of them even sank into the neat queue in front of him. They were so frightened by the sudden drink that they sat down on the ground.

At this time, no one dared to stand up and accuse these big-headed soldiers of being so audacious and daring to stare at the emperor so straightly. It was difficult for them to stand firm now. Some of the elderly did not even dare to look any further for fear of being angry.

Blood surged and he died suddenly on the spot.

After all, even Zhu Yunwen was so shocked that his face was as heavy as a jujube, not to mention this group of ancients who were watching the column for the first time?

"This is the strongest army in the world!"

Although he had watched the rehearsal several times, Zhu Di's face could not help but twitch. He could unite thousands of troops as one man. This kind of discipline would be unparalleled combat power when put on the battlefield in the future. But in this phalanx,

One of them made a wrong move and either stabbed his comrades or was stabbed by them!

Tie Xuan in front of the Jinshui Bridge was also excited and nervous with sweat on his face, because he added the bayonet link himself. Before more than a month of rehearsals, Tie Xuan ordered 20,000 wooden bayonets from Yu Hengsi. The purpose was

I don’t know how many people got bruises on their backs during this hard practice, but they finally got through it.

For this day, Chengtian Grand Reading!

The bright pure steel bayonet glowed brightly in the sun, reflecting the hundreds of frightened and shocked faces on Chengtianmen.

The phalanxes passed through the Chengtian Gate one after another, but the shock effect they brought was getting bigger and bigger, because no one knew how much this disciplined elite force the emperor held in his hands. It was only the 20,000 that were read.

people, or is this the case for all the more than 200,000 people in the New Army?

Zhu Ming didn't dare to look directly after seeing it halfway. He shrank secretly to the end, leaned against the wall and gasped for air. His whole body was almost soaked with sweat.

I was busy thinking silently in my heart, I am the emperor's loyal minister and filial son, this army is not against me, don't be afraid.

Both Zhu Xi and Zhu Bai could not stand still for a long time. Seeing Zhu Xi like this, they both staggered over quickly.

"Can't watch it anymore."

Zhu Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I almost peed."

Speaking of this, Zhu Bai suddenly frowned, "Why are you so angry?"

The two of them looked at Zhu Xi together, their eyes widening in shock.

Zhu Tong's old face turned red, "I was too nervous just now. I relaxed now and couldn't control it. I dripped a little. Don't panic, I'm under control now."

After the three people, more and more important officials in the DPRK began to avoid looking at them. If the new army in the Beijing camp had not been on the battlefield and lost three points of murderous intent, today's military parade would have frightened a few people at Chengtianmen to death.

It's unethical.

As for those who could persist until the end of the military parade, apart from Zhu Yunwen, the only spectators were Zhu Di and several battlefield veterans from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Cowards like Li Jinglong, even Yang Shiqi, could not compare to him. They collapsed on the ground in the third round.

.

Shuangxi lay at Zhu Yunwen's feet and gasped for air. He turned his head and glanced at the important ministers and princes of the vassal state who were sitting upside down behind him, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
