Text_Chapter 400 Military parade
"Today, there is Gaoping Mo's family, the culture of the Central Plains, and I am willing to be a territorial, and I will give the post of commander of the capital, rule the land of Gaoping, and give the great seal of the commander of Gaoping. [No pop-ups. 】”
"Today, there is the lord of the city of Zhancheng, his heart is to the Heavenly Empire, bathing in the king, and he is willing to be a territorial envoy, and he will be given the post of commander of the capital, and he will be given the title of commander of the city, and he will be given the great seal of the commander of the city."
Several holy decrees in succession, it can be said that some people are happy and some are worried, Zhancheng and Gaoping are naturally happy, this time there is a Ming father cover, and finally there is no need to worry about the death of the country, and Annan and Guangnan are quite bad, in order to obtain the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, they gave up a lot, and now they see that they have to give up a piece of land, so that these clowns can jump in front of them every day.
It's just that the situation is stronger than people, and the decisions made by the Ming Dynasty cannot be changed by these small countries, as for Siam and Zhenla, they still expect to get the help of the Ming Dynasty when they face danger in the future, and they will naturally not oppose things that have nothing to do with them at this time.
After reading the holy decree, Liu Ruoyu took out another document.
"The Law of the Order of the Subject State Decreed by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
This is the specific name of the document, and its content is mainly the agreement and commitment to the rights and responsibilities of the subject country and the subject country, of course, there are some other detailed provisions, such as the relationship between the subject country and the subject country, the subject country and the subject territory, the subject country and the dependent territory, and some other economic exchanges and trade regulations.
For example, wars and contradictions between subject countries, as long as no one asks for help, the Ming Dynasty will not intervene. The territory is protected by the Ming Dynasty in all aspects, and foreign countries, and even subject countries, are not allowed to launch aggression against the territory, correspondingly, the territory has no diplomatic rights, the military must also be controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and internal affairs will also be affected by the Ming Dynasty.
"Envoys from all countries are invited to sign the instrument." Liu Ruoyu said with a smile, and then the six little eunuchs held the documents and put them in front of several envoys.
Sign it, what else is there to hesitate about, it has come to this point, and no one will regret it.
"Licheng!"
After a few people signed it, the ceremonial officer shouted loudly, and then, a few documents were collected, be careful about the collection, these things are the source of the legal system, and they must be carefully collected, and all the actions of the Ming Dynasty against the six countries in the future must be based on this document.
"Get on the map."
After hiding the documents, Liu Ruoyu shouted again, and then, a huge map was carried up by eight eunuchs. When several envoys saw this, they looked at each other, not knowing what they were doing.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile, "Between you, the boundaries are staggered, because of the relationship between the territories, there are often frictions and disputes, and there are many people who sacrifice losses, which is a pity, so I have an idea, for your land to be presided over by the Ming Dynasty, re-survey the boundaries, set up boundary monuments, and then take this as the standard, completely solve the boundary problem, reduce disputes, what do the envoys think?" ”
"This ........." The envoys were at first dazed, and then frightened.
This is a killer, this is a big killer. The first time the Ming Dynasty exercised suzerainty, it was so sharp that it was impossible to guard against and unstoppable.
"Okay, there's no need to discuss, the host of the Ming Dynasty is the Duke of Qianguo in Yunnan, and you will go back and report the results to the respective lords, and wait for the Ming envoys to come." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and set the tone by himself.
The envoys of Chenla and Siam glanced at each other, and tacitly agreed that the border between their two countries was fixed, and there were not many disputes. Besides, the two countries are relatively large, with 100,000 people in armor, I believe that the Ming Dynasty will not be too arrogant, this time it is just to confirm the lower border, so as not to have disputes in the future.
The real trouble, on the contrary, is Gaoping, Annam, Quang Nam, Champa four countries, their territory is staggered, only to defend with military strength, and there is no fixed boundary, this time the Ming Dynasty surveyed the boundary, it is his most troublesome.
The two big countries didn't speak, and the four smaller ones couldn't take their turns, and the final result was determined by Zhu Youxiao so lightly, waiting for the Duke of Qianguo to summon them over and survey the boundary.
At this point, after Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, the first formal tributary was over, in the history books of later generations, the status of this tribute was very high, and it was regarded as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's intervention in international affairs.
The set of order laws formulated by him has been used until later, and is regarded as a norm for handling relations between the Ming Dynasty and close countries, and is another set of international systems that is different from the international law of Western countries.
"Hundreds of officials are shifted, watch the parade!" The officer shouted again.
That's right, it's a military parade, this is a new content added by Zhu Youxiao, as for the object of the review, it is the elite drawn out of each army, and its purpose is naturally to boost morale and show strength, especially in front of the subject country, if there is no strength, how can the other party believe that you can protect him.
Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, the hundred officials were in an orderly manner except for the Huangji Palace, and then walked out, after that, there were six envoys of the subject countries, and after that, it was Zhu Youxiao, and their destination was the ** of the later generations, the Chengtianmen at this time.
Chengtianmen is the main gate of the Forbidden City, behind him is the noon gate, in front of him is the Daming Gate, and between the Daming Gate, it is surrounded by a T-shaped square, close to the Chengtianmen here, it is the largest place, on both sides of here, there are two city gates, the right gate of Chang'an and the left gate of Chang'an, which happens to be used as the entrance and exit passage of the army.
The area of the Chengtianmen tower is limited, so it is naturally impossible for all officials to go up, and those who eventually go up are all second-grade officials, in addition, there are also emperors, empresses, some relatives on both sides, envoys of subject countries, and several reporters from the Imperial Daily.
As for the hundred officials, they sat quietly on the opposite side of the Chengtian Gate and watched the ceremony.
"Lile up!" The ceremonial officer shouted hoarsely, the venue was much more empty, and others could not hear it if they didn't shout like this.
"Knock, knock!"
The large ceremonial bell is struck, making a sound like a morning bell and a dusk drum, followed by the performance of various large musical instruments, the music is simple and solemn, revealing an ancient and inherited flavor from the bones, which is the ancient military music of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Woo~Woo~Woo~
After the military music was played, there were bursts of low horn sounds, which seemed to be a sign of the beginning, and with the continuous sound of the horns, the curtain of the military parade was opened.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Heavy footsteps, step by step, followed by the continuous sonorous sound of metal collision, from a distance, a piece of silver and white slowly walking towards this side, a little starlight, in the sun, extremely dazzling.
When the footsteps gradually approached, everyone saw the army coming at this moment.
Neat footsteps, neat movements, neat equipment, neat queues. In short, whether it is height, or posture, or walking stride speed, it is all neat.
Neatille, that's the only impression of all.
The Iron Division, this is the real Iron Division.
Compared with the Ming ministers' concerns, such as the strict military formation and cruel discipline of the Qi family's army, these small countries were dazzled by the gorgeous equipment of the soldiers.
The difference between steel and iron is naturally clear to them, so they know more about the power of this set of steel armor and chain mail on these soldiers, which is really invulnerable to knives and guns, and they are not afraid of arrows.
What frightened them even more was the number of these soldiers, just by lining up the military formations here, there were at least a thousand people, and the entire Ming Dynasty had such an army of this level, I don't know how many. Even if it's just these 1,000 people, with the quality and equipment they show.
The envoys dared to assure that with these thousand people as the vanguard, with the same strength, their country's army would be defeated without any surprise.
Daming is too rich, such an army can be armed.
This was the thought that came to the hearts of almost all the envoys at the same time.
Da Ming is so terrible that they must not be enemies with it, this is their second thought.
"Salute!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched shout sounded, attracting everyone's attention, only to see a neat queue suddenly a footstep movement, unison steps into positive steps, sonorous steps, rumbling rhythmic trampling, almost stepping on their hearts, making the whole person tremble and excited.
It's really grandiose, it's spectacular. A common thing in modern military parades, the foreign envoys who are on board are shocked by this group of dirt buns.
"Pledge allegiance to Your Majesty, allegiance to the Empire, defend your homeland, and swear not to surrender."
A huge wave of sound sounded, and the words were lifted to the sky. Let all the officials who watched listen to the blood boiling, and they can't wait to participate in this military parade now.
Behind the sonorous soldiers covered in iron were neat musketeers, they held guns in their left hands, waved their right hands, straight black military uniforms, bright red cloaks, and snow-white gloves, looking so elegant and chic.
"Salute!"
When the queue also passed in front of the Chengtian Gate, the same high-pitched shout sounded, but the difference was the action of this salute.
In the front, it was a hand salute, but this time it was a gun salute and a gaze salute at the same time.
Their left hand holding the gun opened to the chest, clicked, and then raised it up at the same time, the neat movements, the neat sound, and the sudden unison of the steel jungle all made the people watching grow their mouths, and they didn't dare to go into detail, so many thousands of people could be made by everyone exactly whatsoever.
"Pledge allegiance to Your Majesty, allegiance to the Empire, defend your homeland, and swear not to surrender."
The same slogan sounded again, bringing the same shock.
The musketeers were followed by the artillerymen, and the mules pulled the gun carriages and carried the cannons, forming a neat formation, slowly passing in front of the Chengtian Gate. Unlike just now, this time the artillery camp did not make the slightest movement, nor did it shout slogans, but silently, quietly, quietly, quietly, passing in front of the Chengtian Gate.
However, the rows of cannons of different calibers made all the envoys feel terrified.
At first, the cannons were still small-caliber, and these envoys didn't care, but when they were more than halfway through the queue, they suddenly found that the caliber cannons that appeared at this time were already large and almost scared to death.
The muzzle of the black hole, like death, terrified them. In my heart, I once again strengthened a belief that I must not be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. Even Zhenla and Siam, which have never cared much about it, are the same, these cannons, just hold out some of them, and they will be invincible in Indochina.
: I'm going to work again, and I'm on the night shift, and more importantly, I can't bring my mobile phone, so I'm going first.
