Chapter 566: Parade on Shenlie Mountain
These are just some of the enthronement ceremonies, and when the time comes, the new emperor will hold a grand military parade on the Shenlie Mountain Sect Field.
In all dynasties, although some troops participated in the enthronement ceremony, they would never hold a large-scale military parade, but who was Emperor Tianwu? How can you do things in the ordinary way?
Since Zhu Cihong established the Donggong Guard, he has been improving the social status of soldiers at all levels, correcting the environment in Chinese society since the Song Dynasty, which emphasizes literature over military force, and admires and suppresses military force, which is why these elite soldiers and capable generals are today.
Zhu Cihong paid attention to strengthening military discipline and the ideological education of soldiers, improving the treatment of soldiers, and providing various guarantees after the dead, wounded, and discharged from the army.
He hoped that in the future, he would be able to establish the martial spirit of the whole society and the whole nation in Daming, strive to cultivate a sense of honor and responsibility in the army, and transform it into a modern army.
Yang Tinglin and other new cabinet ministers also know that the Tianwu Emperor relied on the army, and the Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty was also built on the basis of the strong force of the Tianwu Army, and having a strong army is the guarantee of national stability.
The cabinet has no meaning in this, in fact, even if some cabinet ministers have ideas in their hearts, it is useless, in front of a strong emperor, the cabinet minister is the secretary, the emperor is weak, and the cabinet minister is the minister.
The parade site was chosen at the foot of Shenlie Mountain in Waiguo City, only a few miles away from the Forbidden City, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and can accommodate millions of people.
At the beginning of the hour, the car driving division will be with the brocade guard, set up a variety of halogen books and honor guards, display them in turn, and more than 10,000 people will go to the Shenlie Mountain Church.
The emperor's honor guard is as vast as the sea, there is a big silk in the front, there is a Beidou flag, there are twelve dragon flags on the left and right, sixty-four cloth flags, each flag pattern is the sun, the moon, the wind, the clouds, the thunder, the rain, the river, the river, the Huai, the heavenly horse, the Tianlu, the white ze, the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, the Xuanwu and other flags.
There are also gold, wood, water, fire and earth five-star flag, Wuyue flag, bear flag, Luan flag and twenty-eight Suzhou flag, very cool, each flag with five people, one person holds the flag, four people hold the fire gun guard.
Before and after the dragon chariot where Zhu Cihong is located, there are a large number of yellow covers, canopies, curved covers, purple umbrellas, red umbrellas, pheasant fans, Zhu Tuan fans, feather bao buildings and other cloth yellow battles.
There are two tigers and leopards, two elephants on both sides, and the entourage is as high as 10,000 people (in history, the Son of Heaven has no fixed number of guards, and the Jiajing Emperor is 8,000 people).
On the road along the way, all are clean water splashing streets, loess cushion road, avoid dust, potholes, on both sides of Hongwu Street, stand full of onlookers, along the road are full of incense cases, the bustling people are bowing down in front of the incense case, shouting long live.
Zhu Cihong's governance in Jiangnan won the hearts of the people, ordinary people had food to eat, money to earn, children to read, less corrupt officials to exploit, less taxes, and many people sincerely supported the new emperor's accession to the throne.
The honor guard team went to the Shenlie Mountain in Waiguo City, walked through the Hongwu Gate, and exited the Zhengyang Gate, before the shouts of the streets stopped.
The newly built Shenlie Mountain Grand Teaching Field, with flags like a sea, silk bamboo and foot drums beating, accompanied by passionate drum music, countless sergeants wearing armor and hats and helmets entered the march according to the order of each army.
While walking, a neat iron helmet swayed, and the fluttering red tasseled iron helmet seemed to be endlessly spreading, looking around, rolling like a tide, like a long stream of iron rivers.
Around the teaching field, there is also a sea of people, densely packed with people, crowded, crowded, crowded, some young people are waving small military flags sold in cloth shops, and some girls are waving their own champa silk scarves, the atmosphere is extremely warm, a fluttering like a sea.
The people had already seen the notice, and they all knew that the new emperor would hold a grand military parade and expedition ceremony in the near future, and they came to gather here early to witness the majestic posture of the soldiers and witness this historic scene.
Soon, all the soldiers of the three armies entered, lined up solemnly in front of the towering point general's platform, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Tianwu, and tens of thousands of cavalry of the Longwu Army also dismounted, waiting for the horses to stand solemnly.
In the formation of 300,000 troops in the Great Sect Field, the crowd of people is like water, the muskets are like a forest, the flags are like the sea, as far as the eye can see, although the number of people is large, the formation is neat and quiet, countless dense helmets and armor are towering, Ling Ran's iron-blooded qi spreads, and the momentum exuded is still very amazing.
In the position of the Chinese army, the Tianwu Army is particularly conspicuous, and their military names are the same as the new emperor's year name, which is naturally the most eye-catching.
Each soldier of the Tianwu Army is equipped with a helmet and three layers of heavy armor, holding an artifact and a rifle, they stand solemnly, all of them have resolute eyes, motionless in the cold wind, full of self-confidence in the battlefield of a hundred battles, and also show the quality of a veteran of a hundred battles.
In the howling cold wind, suddenly a whining horn sounded, and in the noisy drum music, the dense Son of Heaven arrived at the Shenlie Mountain Great Sect.
Under the yellow umbrella, Zhu Cihong walked out of the dragon chariot, held the sword of the Son of Heaven, turned over and got on the horse, with a solemn expression.
At this time, he was wearing a set of royal armor specially used to inspect the army, the armor was not heavy, the gilt armor was carved with several five-clawed golden dragon patterns, and behind him was a long and polar cloak, and the entire cloak was decorated with a coiled dragon, which looked very powerful.
When Zhu Cihong rode his horse and appeared in front of the general's platform, all the generals in the front row dismounted and knelt down on one knee, waiting for the emperor to pass by, and they shouted: "Long live!" ”
Zhu Cihong rode his horse in the big teaching field, all the way over, all the soldiers in the formation knelt, they shouted long live, and finally converged into a continuous shout: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
The scene was immediately detonated, and the crowd around the Great Sect Field screamed excitedly following the rhythm of the army: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
There was a whistling sound like the sky was cracking, the drums in the boiling human voices were all muffled, and the fiery sea of flags waved desperately, especially some young people, who looked at the elegant figure with adoring eyes, and blushed with excitement.
In this situation, Comrade Zhu Youzhen, the emperor who came to watch the ceremony, was shocked, and it was only now that he intuitively saw that Zhu Cihong's strength was so strong!
In the face of this kind of tsunami-like sound, on the viewing platform next to the Dianjiang platform, the envoys of various countries, foreign caravans, gentry and landlords were all dumbfounded.
Where have they ever seen such a vast military might? Everyone was excited and frightened, and a sense of powerlessness emerged, and they were a little overwhelmed.
The largest military parade in history, the envoys from 27 countries who came to watch the ceremony, the military strength displayed by the Ming army shocked Asia and caused huge repercussions in various countries.
After that, the friendly relations between Central Asian and West Asian countries and the Ming Dynasty continued until the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Timurid Empire, which threatened to destroy the Ming Dynasty, never dared to be presumptuous since then, and the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty more than 60 times.
The military parade is not only a declaration of national strength, but also an important means to expand the country's influence!
The vast sea of iron armor flashed bright cold light under the sunlight, and the soldiers in the military formation were also enthusiastic, and their faces flashed with sacred excitement, as a member of such a strong army, everyone felt full of strength!
Zhu Cihong rode his horse through the military formation, facing the soldiers who stood solemnly and reverently in the sea of flags, as well as the countless Ming subjects who screamed excitedly, his heart swelled with pride.
This is your own capital!
In this military parade, Zhu Cihong wants to show everyone the mighty power of the Ming army, change the impression that the Ming army is loose and incompetent in the eyes of the world, and let everyone know that the army here is the real elite of the Ming Dynasty, which can sweep everything in the world!
