Chapter 621: A Loud Shock
For the court of the Tang Dynasty, there have been several ups and downs in the past few days, and the officials did not even have a chance to take a breath. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The king of Jianning accused the king of Nanyang and the queen of Zhang, and then the envoys of Hui admitted their mistakes and relented, and now they have begun to watch the army on an unprecedented scale.
When it comes to Daguan soldiers, many officials have seen them once a few years ago, when Qin Jin was just a county lieutenant, and all he led was thousands of Xin'an United Soldiers. These united soldiers went through thousands of lives and deaths, and fought thousands of miles from Xin'an to reach Chang'an safely.
At that time, the spiritual outlook and uniform queue of these united soldiers gave the Manchu monarchs and ministers a great shock. Especially at that time, Li Longji, the son of heaven, promoted Qin Jin to the rank of general of the Shenwu Army. At that time, Qin Jin was appointed as the lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a pit dug by Yang Guozhong for him, just waiting to jump in it, and he would not die.
However, who would have thought that after Qin Jin jumped into the pit without hesitation, he should have turned the fire pit into a cornucopia. Those unlearned and unskilled gentlemen are like a different person, from idleness to now they have become independent generals.
If they knew that the Shenwu Army was in such a situation, they would also send their sons and nephews to the army, and they would at least be a Zhonglang general until now. This is also secondly, to be able to establish meritorious deeds in this chaotic era of restoration and counterinsurgency, to be able to seal a wife and son, and to leave a good future for future generations is what people dream of.
Woo!
The sound of bull horns echoed, followed by the rumbling of war drums. The martial arts uniforms of the hundreds of officials appeared one after another on the campus of the North Forbidden Garden.
Looking around, but seeing the banner waving, there is a trend that there is no end in sight.
In the middle of the school field, I don't know when two mounds of earth were piled up, which were compacted like two hills. Some people looked strange and talked a little, wondering what the purpose of making two solid mounds of earth on the school yard was for.
Under the guidance of the soldiers on duty, the hundreds of officials arrived at the corresponding regional locations according to their respective ranks. People are looking forward to today's protagonist, Li Heng, the son of heaven.
No matter when and where, the Son of Heaven will always be the most central role, without the presence of the Son of Heaven, even if the Shenwu Army plays the Daguan Soldiers, it will not make this Beiyuan campus appear such an unprecedented and vast scene.
And on the periphery of the North Forbidden Garden, it has long been surrounded by people who are crowded with people. Although it has just experienced a catastrophe, it has not extinguished people's natural desire to watch the excitement. There are also many vendors who smell the strong business opportunities, and they are selling carts on the road that the North Forbidden Garden must pass.
When Qin Jin walked out of Tonghua Gate and rushed to the North Forbidden Garden, he saw the bustling crowd on the road, and suddenly had an illusion, as if there had never been a war in the land of Chang'an, and the prosperous era was still that prosperous era. However, Cui Guangyuan, who was following him, burst into tears, crying like a child.
All the relatives and officials around Qin Jin were silent, and Cui Guangyuan's tears pierced the hidden pain in everyone's hearts.
How could a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty collapse with a bang?
Hundreds of thousands of innocent people have become the food for the rebels' evil spirits, and on this road to the North Forbidden Garden, countless unjust spirits are watching them from heaven, waiting for them to quell the rebellion and restore peace.
It stands to reason that Qin Jin should have waited in the North Forbidden Garden early, just waiting for the ceremony to begin, and then accompanied the Son of Heaven to watch the troops. However, he had just received a war report from Hedong, Taiyuan had fallen, 50,000 Tang troops in Hedong had been wiped out, and Zhang Fuchen, the superintendent of the army, had died heroically.
Therefore, the situation in Hedong was already precarious, and Shi Siming's main force could also withdraw from Taiyuan and pounce on the Jiangzhou defense line, so that the Shenwu army led by Lu Qi would face a double attack from Hebei and northeast Hedong at the same time.
It was precisely because of this that he and Guo Ziyi were delayed in the army for nearly an hour, in order to discuss the impact of the fall of Taiyuan on the war situation in Hedong.
Qin Jin's idea was very simple, once Jiangzhou could not be defended, he would withdraw the main force of Lu Qi and the Shenwu army from Pujinkou to Fengyi County, and then he would only need to rely on the Yellow River to resist the rebels. As long as Guanzhong is not lost, there will be a time for the war to resume.
Guo Ziyi disagreed with Qin Jin's opinion, believing that Hedong must not be completely lost, otherwise the morale of the army that had just been gathered because of the Battle of Chang'an would be discharged again.
After discussing for a while, there was no unanimous result, and seeing that the Great View of the Army was about to begin, the group had to hurry to the North Forbidden Garden.
As soon as the hour came, the war drums beat three ways, and the Shenwu army lined up in a neat phalanx, and the moving iron plates gradually entered the sight of the hundred officials. The sound of footsteps landing on the ground is like a thousand people's legs, echoing repeatedly over the school field.
Li Heng, who was sitting on the Hu bed, turned red, obviously excited by the atmosphere at the scene.
"Qin Qing is a good soldier! This is my Tang elite soldier!"
Li Heng can also be regarded as having seen the border armies in various places, but when it comes to the appearance of the army and this ironclad phalanx, no one can stand on the right side of the Shenwu army.
He said "well-trained soldiers" several times before he noticed that Qin Jin did not appear on the school ground.
"Where is Qin Qing?"
Li Fuguo, the eunuch who had been standing beside Li Heng, hurriedly said:
"Doctor Yu Shi is coming in the city, maybe there is something in the camp, and it is delayed!"
Li Fuguo asked himself to be tied to Qin Jin on a rope, so he covered up for Qin Jin. In fact, he was completely redundant, Li Heng said to himself:
"Doctor Yu Shi has always behaved in a proper manner, and if he is late today, there may be a major matter in the army that he must deal with!
Although the Daguan Soldiers were led by the Shenwu Army, Qin Jin was almost not involved in any of them, and Yang Xingben and Wuhu Huaizhong were mainly in charge.
Li Fuguo looked at it and praised it at the same time:
"The Imperial Doctor trains the army, it is unique, this piece of phalanx, it is not easy to want people to go!"
In this regard, Li Heng also felt deeply, although he had never practiced soldiers, he had seen music and dance rehearsals in the palace. Often, when hundreds of dancers need to be discharged in a uniform form, they always fail a hundred times when they practice a hundred times.
The same is true for military training, especially the strong men in the army are all men killed on the battlefield, and it is really amazing to be able to take the thousands of people in this army as one.
As for Li Heng, he was also curious, what method Qin Jin used to be able to train these fighting soldiers to be as obedient as Mianyang.
He planned to ask Qin Jin what was going on after watching the soldiers, but when he turned his head and glanced at it, he happened to see Qin Jin and Guo Ziyi who came in a hurry.
Li Fuguo was very eye-catching, and immediately greeted him and led Qin Jin to Li Heng's side.
"Suddenly there is an urgent military business, the minister is late, please forgive your majesty!"
Li Heng couldn't help but didn't ask what kind of military affairs it was, and also stopped Qin Jin's intention to reciprocate, and only said:
"Watch the troops first, and wait until it's over!"
At this time, Li Heng had already realized that the military affairs in Qin Jin's mouth must not be a good thing, and it was better not to talk about this matter in front of everyone.
Qin Jin stood by Li Heng's side in understanding, looking at the military formation in the distance. Then he swept to several areas where officials gathered, and it took him a long time to find Uncle and Muryan Siluo, who were crowded together. In his opinion, these two are the protagonists today.
The show is about to begin. Qin Jin reminded Li Heng beside him:
"Your Majesty cover your ears, there will be a loud noise in a while!"
Li Heng didn't know why, but he took into account the demeanor of the Son of Heaven and didn't cover his ears as he said. Just as Qin Jin's voice fell for a while, the entire school suddenly shook, and at the same time, a huge explosion sounded continuously.
This sudden change almost made Li Heng jump up from the Hu bed in shock.
"The Earth Moves ......"
Faintly, someone was already shouting and moving.
However, immediately there was a Shenwu army that maintained order and preached loudly:
"This is a military exercise, don't be impatient!"
Li Heng was shocked, and saw Qin Jin guiding him in the direction of the school field for him to see. The eyes were cast in the middle of the school field, and I couldn't help but be shocked.
The rammed earth mound, which was originally the size of two hills, was leveled in an instant, and the sight was shocking, and there were thick clouds of white smoke on them.
Li Heng asked in a lost voice:
"This is the power of firearms?"
Qin Jin nodded.
"Your Majesty is right, these two mounds were indeed flattened after the thunderbolt exploded!"
Li Heng was shocked and said:
"With such a sharp weapon, there is no strong city in the world!"
This thunderbolt was able to flatten a hill-like mound of rammed earth to the ground, and naturally, the rammed earth walls of the world could not stop the power of this firearm.
In fact, Li Heng didn't know that in order to achieve amazing results, a large number of thunderbolt cannons were buried under the rammed earth piles like these two hills. If you attack the city, it may be possible to deal with the city wall of a small county town, and the city wall of a big city like Luoyang, Chang'an, although it is also built of rammed earth, is by no means so easy to blow up.
Qin Jin did not say the inside story explicitly, but acquiesced to Li Heng's evaluation.
This is what he wants, to display it in the world with powerful firearms, which can boost the morale of the Tang Dynasty and deter those small countries with ill intentions.
For example, the envoys of Hui Hui, and the two uncles and nephews of Moyan Siluo.
Yao Ge Bijia was so shocked that he almost sat on the ground, shaking the mountains so much, after hearing the shouts of the Shenwu Army to watch the military exercises, he thought that he was using demon methods.
On the contrary, Moyan Siluo was horrified, and he never thought that this was a demon method, he had heard from the rebel captives that the Shenwu Army had a kind of thing called a firearm, which could be used in battle to erode a piece and cut off the limbs and arms of the wounded. At first, he thought it was the nonsense of the rebels, but now he realizes that it is a real thing!
However, Mo Yan Luo was still skeptical about this, thinking that it was possible that Qin Jin used an unknown trick in it.
He didn't believe that no matter how powerful a weapon was, it couldn't flatten two hills of rammed earth to the ground!
