Chapter 63: Military Parade
When Kangxi's car continued to move forward, two people came on the road ahead. At this time, if someone really shouts an unjust complaint on the street, this can be called a serious accident. The accompanying Jing officials glanced at Qi Shi one after another, and when they heard the two speak, they knew that they were dreaming.
It turned out that the two representatives of the banner man and the Han dynasty "elected" by the banner men of Chahar and the peasant households specially offered this year's bumper grain to the emperor in order to thank the emperor for his benevolence.
The eunuch who accompanied the holy chariot had already handed over two baskets of grain, one basket was potatoes, peanuts, sweet potatoes and the like, neatly and beautifully, and one basket was full of squeezed baskets, and the other basket was filled with one-foot square white cloth bags, each bag was filled with grain grains such as wheat and millet from Chahar. Although there are not many things, it is enough to give the nobles a taste. Kangxi was very happy, satisfied, and satisfied, and he ordered someone to call the two representatives to come and talk.
The representative of the flag man actually knew Kangxi, who was originally a well-known gentleman in Beijing, who only liked to cause trouble and did not learn well, so he was driven to Chahar by his family early to endure hardships. Now whether he has learned well or others don't know, but seeing that he is strong and strong, his eyes are bright, and he is polite in his words and deeds, Kangxi feels that he is out of luck, and he heard that he is also diligent in practicing riding and archery in Chahar, he is very happy and greatly rewards him.
As for the old Han peasant, he had thick calluses on his hands, and his clothes were all made of coarse cloth, unpatched, but not new, and his elbows were white. He is quite old, and his speech is still clear and powerful, his words and sentences are very simple, and there are no taboos, and he has a strong country accent, but it can be understood. When Kangxi saw it, he knew that this was really an old farmer who had accumulated years, and it was by no means a childcare deliberately arranged by Qi Shi, and he didn't whitewash it, so he thought: "Qi Shi is very honest and capable." He chatted cordially with the old farmer, and instructed the officials of Chahar to take more care of the old man, and the officials of Qi Shi and Chahar respectfully agreed.
The avenue leading from the city gate to the palace stopped and stopped, and it took more than an hour to finish, and the people's 'three shouts and long live' came and went one after another. After the holy driver arrived at the palace, except for the main officials of Chahar, who were to accompany him, the rest of the officials had to return to their yamen or offices to continue their duties.
Kangxi just ate a little bit in the palace, and then mentioned the military camp to have a look. This is not a problem, Qi Shi believes in his daily training of soldiers. When Kangxi arrived at the barracks, he saw the soldiers shouting the slogan "The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road" during the collective rush drill, the infantry battalion is quite well-trained, the cavalry battalion formation changes neatly and quickly, and the firearms battalion can basically operate proficiently...... Kangxi was very happy to watch, in such a team with strict military and team culture, it was really impossible not to make this quite manly emperor feel excited. Seeing that everyone was going to have fun together, he breathed a sigh of relief, and Kangxi was about to commend Qi Shi by the way, and the entourage minister with eyes said a few words regardless of whether he was willing or not, but at this time, a man in the entourage wearing a three-grade civil official peacock supplement suit stood up, "Minister Li Guangdi has a book." ”
"Aiqing, please speak." Kangxi Road.
"The commanders are well-trained, the military discipline is strict, and the ministers are deeply admired. Wei Chen thought that the army's suzhì had been fully reflected in the daily training, and since the goal had been achieved, could the military parade arranged tomorrow be canceled, so as not to lose the army's money. Li Guang said.
Kangxi thought for a while and said, "What Jin Qing said makes some sense," and asked Qi Shi beside him, "What do you see according to Aiqing?" ”
Qi Shi was unhurried and smiled and said, "According to the slave, what Master Li said has his truth, but it is not entirely right. Tomorrow's ceremony does make the soldiers tired but not so strict as hurting money, and besides, the soldiers are only trained for one battle, and the ceremony itself is a kind of actual combat training for the troops, and the basic training on weekdays is not the same. The slaves thought that Master Li was engaged in civil service, and it was inevitable that he would ignore it. ”
Kangxi smiled and said, "Just according to Qi Shi Aiqing, the military parade will be held tomorrow as usual." ”
"The slave represents the soldiers of the whole army, thank the lord Longen." Qi Shidao.
The next day, after the concerted efforts of all parties, the parade began in the midst of a burst of military drums, and the first to enter the parade ground were the infantry, who kicked and saluted when they passed the guò command platform, shouting the slogan "Defend the Qing Dynasty, be loyal to the emperor".
Kangxi stood on the temporary command platform, looking at the soldiers who kept chanting various slogans of loyalty from front of him, and a kind of pride emerged from the bottom of his heart, this military parade was really good, it completely aroused the blood of the soldiers, and the most important thing was to let these soldiers know who they should really be loyal to. When the horse team appeared, the atmosphere of the scene reached its peak, and when the soldiers on horseback raised their swords to pay allegiance to Emperor Kangxi, Kangxi waved excitedly to the horse team soldiers. The accompanying officials around him had never seen such an excited emperor, and the gaze that looked at Qi Shi was full of envy, admiration, or jealousy. After the soldiers who had completed the review arrived at the designated place, Kangxi looked at Qi Shi with great interest and asked, "Qi Shi, what are the arrangements next?" ”
All eyes around were focused on Qi Shi, and they all wanted to see what Qi Shi would say. Qi Shi said in his characteristic calm voice as usual: "If you go back to the emperor, the next step is a battle show and drill. ”
After Qi Shi finished speaking, he gestured to the people around him, and the person who gave the order waved the order flag. The soldiers scattered in all directions in unison, and the roar that shook the sky came, making this parade ground full of murderous atmosphere.
After the boxing exercise, the soldiers who participated in the parade transformed into a phalanx of Chahar map graphics under the guidance of the order flag. The people around applauded, and what surprised Kangxi even more was that these soldiers bravely knelt down on one knee in front of the command platform, and sang in unison an improved version of Jingzhong to serve the country.
Then the snare drums sounded again, and the army exercises began. Kangxi raised his clairvoyance and kept looking at the army exercises in the wide area in front of him, which was divided into two camps, and there were constantly messengers reporting on the situation on both sides. This is an exercise that concentrates Qi Shi's painstaking research on tactics and tactics, and it is also a very fresh form of expression. Kangxi stared at the battlefield closely, and sometimes looked carefully at the military map in front of him, when the two sides were inseparable, a battalion quickly climbed up from the high cliff, took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to copy, snatched the opponent's horses from behind to cooperate with the pincer, and directly copied the opponent's command general, and the parade finally ended with a day.
Kangxi stared at the entire army in front of him for a long time, and didn't say anything, only stretched out his hand and patted Qi Shi's shoulder twice, but he didn't say anything.
