Chapter 566 Military Parade on Shenlie Mountain
These are only part of the throne ceremony. At the time of Si, the new emperor will hold a grand military parade on the Shenlieshan Cathedral.
Although some military parades were participating in the throne ceremony in all dynasties, a large-scale military parade would never be held. However, who was Emperor Tianwu? How could he act in an ordinary way?
Since Zhu Cixuan formed the Eastern Palace Guard, he has been improving the social status of soldiers from all levels, correcting the environment in which Chinese society values culture over military affairs and relies on military affairs, which has led to these elite soldiers and generals today.
Zhu Cixuan focused on strengthening military discipline and ideological education for soldiers, improving the treatment of soldiers, and various guarantees after death, injury, and discharge from the army.
He hopes that in the future, he can establish the martial spirit of the whole society and the whole nation in the Ming Dynasty, and strive to cultivate the sense of honor and responsibility of the army, and transform it into the modern army.
Yang Tinglin and other new cabinet ministers also knew that Emperor Tianwu relied on the army, and the revival of the Ming Dynasty was also based on the powerful force of the Tianwu Army. It had a strong army and was also a guarantee of national stability. Only when the country was stable can civil servants let go of their hands to govern the country.
The cabinet has no meaning for this. In fact, even if some cabinet ministers have ideas in their minds, it is useless. In front of a strong emperor, cabinet ministers are secretaries. The emperor is weak, and cabinet ministers are powerful ministers.
The military parade site was chosen at the foot of Shenlie Mountain in Waiguo City, which was only a few miles away from the Forbidden City. It was vast and sparsely populated and could accommodate millions of people. A few years ago, Zhu Cilang began to develop the place, building universities, military research institutes, etc. around it.
At the beginning of the Si hour, the Chejia Office and the Jinyiwei will set up various ceremonial guards to display them in turn, and more than 10,000 people will go to the Shenlieshan Grand Seminary.
The emperor's Lu Bu ceremonies were as vast as the sea. There was a big flag at the front and a Beidou flag. There were twelve dragon flags on the left and right, and sixty-four flags on the left and right. The patterns of each flag were sun, moon, wind, clouds, thunder, rain, river, river, Huai, Tianma, Tianlu, Baize, Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Xuanwu and other flags.
There are also five-star flags of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, five-legged flags, bear flags, phoenix flags and twenty-eight constellations flags. They are very cool. Each flag uses five armored soldiers, one holding a flag, and four holding muskets to guard them.
In front and behind the dragon chariot where Zhu Cixuan is located, there are a large number of yellow caps, canopy, curved caps, purple square umbrellas, red square umbrellas, pheasant fans, red ball fans, feather-bao banners and other yellow caps.
There are also tigers and leopards at two ends, and the six-headed elephant training branch on both sides, and there are as many as 10,000 people (there are no fixed guards in history, and the emperor Jiajing had eight thousand people on tour). The show was very large, and it can be said to be the inspector of the Emperor of Heaven.
The roads along the way are filled with water-splashing streets and loess cushions to avoid dust and potholes. On both sides of Hongwu Street, people standing full of onlookers, and the roads are filled with incense tables. The bustling people bow down the incense tables and shout long live.
Zhu Cilang's governance in Jiangnan was very popular. Ordinary people had food and money to make money, children had books to study, and less exploited by corrupt officials, and less taxes were paid. Many people sincerely supported the new emperor ascended the throne.
The brigade of honor headed to Shenlie Mountain in the outer city, walked through Hongwu Gate and left Zhengyang Gate, and cried all over the streets.
The newly built Shenlieshan Temple, with flags like the sea, the sound of silk and bamboo and drums, accompanied by the intense drum music, countless soldiers wearing armor and hats entered the venue in the order of each army by stepping on the drum beats.
While walking, a neat iron helmet swayed, and the iron helmet with red tassels seemed to spread endlessly. Looking around, it rolled like a tide, like a long river of iron.
There were also crowds of people around the teaching ground, crowded with people, crowded with people, and the sounds were buzzing. Some young people waved small military flags sold in their hands, while some girls waved their respective saury scarves. The atmosphere was extremely warm and fluttered like the sea.
The people had already seen the notice and knew that the new emperor would hold a grand military parade and a ceremony in the near future. They came here early to witness the majesty of the soldiers on the expedition and witness this historic scene.
Soon, all the soldiers of the three armies entered the field, and lined up in front of the towering generals, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Tianwu. Tens of thousands of cavalry of the Dragon Martial Army were dismounted, waiting for the horse to stand solemnly.
In the 300,000 army was arranged in the cathedral, the crowd was like water, muskets were like forests, flags were like seas, and endless. Although there were many people, the array was neat and quiet. Countless dense helmets and armors stood up, and the iron-blooded aura spread, and the momentum was still very amazing.
In the central military position, the Tianwu Army is particularly conspicuous. Their military name is the same as the New Emperor's reign, and naturally attracts the most attention.
Each soldier of the Tianwu Army was equipped with a helmet and three layers of heavy armor, holding a magic weapon and a tripod rifle. They stood firmly, each with a firm look, motionless in the cold wind, full of confidence in the battlefield of a hundred battles, and also showed the quality of veterans of a hundred battles.
In the howling cold wind, a whimpering horn sounded suddenly, and amid the sound of drums and music, the dense emperor's emperor arrived at the Shenlie Mountain Cathedral.
Under the yellow umbrella, Zhu Cilang walked out of the dragon chariot, held the Emperor's Sword, and turned over the horse, with a solemn expression.
At this time, he was wearing a set of imperial armor specially used to inspect the army. The armor was not heavy. The gilded armor was carved with several five-clawed golden dragon patterns, and behind him was a long cloak that was extremely strong. The entire cloak was covered with a dragon pattern, which looked very majestic.
When Zhu Cilang rode his horse in front of the generals, all the generals in the front row got off the horse and knelt on one knee, waiting for the emperor to pass by, they shouted: "Long live!"
Zhu Cixuan rode his horse in the cathedral and walked all the way, and all the soldiers in the array knelt down. They shouted long live the mountain, and finally formed a continuous shout: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The scene was immediately detonated, and the crowd around the cathedral followed the rhythm of the army and screamed excitedly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The sound of howling like the sky collapsed and the earth was cracked, and the drums and music among the generals were covered. The fiery red flag sea was waving desperately, especially some young people, who looked at the elegant figure with admiration and blushed with excitement.
In this situation, the Supreme Emperor Zhu Youjian, who came to watch the ceremony, was shocked. It was not until now that he could intuitively see that Zhu Cilang's strength was so powerful!
Faced with the sound of tsunami like mountains and tsunamis, on the viewing platform next to the station, the envoys from various countries, foreign caravans, gentry and landlords were all stunned.
Where have they seen such a vast military power? Everyone was excited and afraid, and felt powerless and a little at a loss.
The largest Yongle military parade in history, with as many as 27 countries visiting the ceremony. During that military parade, the military strength demonstrated by the Ming army shocked Asia and caused a huge response in various countries.
Later, the friendly relations between Central Asia and West Asian countries and the Ming Dynasty continued until the end of the Ming Dynasty. The Timur Empire, which threatened to destroy the Ming Dynasty, never dared to be arrogant since then. In the end, the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty more than 60 times.
Military parade is not only an important means to declare national strength, but also an important means to expand national influence!
The vast ocean of iron armor shines with bright cold light under the sunlight. The soldiers in the army are also excited, and their faces are shining with sacred excitement. As a member of such a strong army, everyone feels full of strength!
Zhu Cixuan rode his horse through the military formation, facing the soldiers who were standing and respected as he flew at the sea of flags, and the countless subjects of the Ming Dynasty who were excited and screaming, pride surged in his heart.
This is your own capital!
