Chapter 548: The Tang Dynasty Festival

There are many ways for officials to publicize one thing.

Whether it is "Datang Daily", "Chang'an Evening News", or "Qujiang Daily", they have recently published a lot of articles with the theme of the founding day.

At the beginning, Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor and established the Tang Dynasty, and immediately arranged for Li Shimin, who was still the king of Qin at that time, to lead the army to fight.

Li Shimin also lived up to expectations, successively defeating Li Liang and Xue Ju father and son in Longxi.

Then he repelled Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang in the state with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and also captured Dou Jiande, the king of Xia in Hebei.

After that, he forced down Wang Shichong, who occupied Luoyang, and then continued to quell the peasant uprisings and local warlords in various places, and completed the great cause of unifying the whole country in a very short time.

These deeds, with the passage of time, in fact, many people have not remembered them so clearly.

However, under the bombardment of various newspapers and the propaganda of storytellers in various restaurants, it immediately became a familiar story to everyone.

That's the power of propaganda.

Later generations put the status of the propaganda department in a relatively high position because they were fully aware of the importance of propaganda.

I saw that Qin Qiong was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't understand why Tong Yunfei wanted to capture Li Guangdu alive. However, he still listened to Tong Yunfei's words, and saw that his right hand twisted hard, and the tile-faced gold armor in his hand immediately changed the route of the attack, and he was originally going to smash Li Guangdu's head, but now it was changed to his shoulder......"

"Master, this Tang Dynasty is really extraordinary, it seems that you are too right to shift your focus to the Tang Kingdom."

In the middle of the five-fold, Saraj had just listened to Guo Dezhi finish a paragraph of "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", and couldn't help but show an expression of admiration on his face.

This "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" was just put on the shelves of Xinhua Bookstore this month.

Unexpectedly, Guo Dezhi was still as good at discovering good materials for storytelling as always, and quickly adapted the book into the content of storytelling.

"We have been in Chang'an for more than ten days, and these days we can be regarded as turning Chang'an City around, this Tang Dynasty, even when we are the strongest in Persia, is not comparable."

Hamedi took a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, a relieved smile on his face.

When he was in Puluozhong, he deliberately approached Wei Chihuan and did not hesitate to sacrifice part of his profits in order to make the Tang people there recognize him.

After several years of hard work, it finally worked.

Now, he has taken Wei Chihuan's letter and is ready to settle in Chang'an City.

Of course, it is more important to do business in Chang'an.

If business in Chang'an doesn't go well, Hamedi may still choose to return to Guangzhou.

Because he found that there were the most Persian merchants in Guangzhou, and even a few of them were merchants he had known in China before.

"The stronger Datang is, the safer it will be for us to stay here. Yu Chi Langjun said that as long as the heart is towards the Tang Dynasty, we Persians are also popular in Chang'an City. He even said that the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty was the Turks, but many of the generals of the Tang Dynasty are now Turks. As long as we can make the Tang people feel goodwill, we may not be able to become NTD. ”

Saraj did not have a good life in Persia, or he would not have become a slave of Hamedi.

So his feelings for Persia are actually relatively light.

In addition, now Persia is crumbling under the attack of the Great Eclipse, and a large area of territory has been invaded, and there is no future at all.

Saraj hopes that his master can take root in the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, the food in front of him alone is enough for Saraj to stay in Chang'an City forever.

"Later, we will go to the West Market to see if we can set up a shop, and then try to do business first, and see if we can gain a firm foothold in Chang'an."

Although Hamedi is a wealthy merchant in Persia, he did not stir up the army when he came to Chang'an this time.

Most of his property and money are still in Puluozhong, and some of them are settled in Guangzhou.

It can be said that he is ready to leave Chang'an when the situation is not good.

There is no way, after all, it is the first time he has come to Chang'an, and he always has to be prepared in a foreign country.

This is one of the reasons why Hamedi has been able to live so well until now.

……

Cheng Chuliang felt that he had finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood became extremely refreshing.

At the beginning, he was forced into the Royal Military Academy in the lobby by his own Aya, and his face was full of reluctance.

I've already started a family, what school are I going to go to?

Besides, Aya doesn't know that he didn't like to read since he was a child.

However, the arms can't twist the thighs.

Cheng Chuliang still entered the military academy and studied in the cavalry department.

If you only learn the tactics and art of cavalry combat, although it is boring, Cheng Chuliang feels that he can accept it.

But who knew that after entering the academy, it was not like this at all.

Under the leadership of Xue Rengui, a group of guards from the Chu Palace's mansion became everyone's instructors, and they led everyone to stand in a military posture on the school field every day.

Standing motionless for an hour is considered qualified.

This almost cost Cheng Chuliang's life.

After that, various queue training and various housekeeping arrangements made Cheng Chuliang very dissatisfied.

Especially the emergency gathering in the middle of the night, it was simply a toss-up.

Cheng Chuliang really wanted to fight with Xue Rengui with real swords and guns.

However, the instructors have methods to teach disobedient thorns.

Cheng Chuliang learned to be obedient after suffering a few losses.

Wait until three months have passed, and then you can get rid of this boring training.

However, when the training ended and the results were displayed, Cheng Chuliang found that these trainings were not useless.

Now, he wants to let the elites of the Twelve Guards re-feel their original mental journey.

"Stand still! Don't you have a waist? It's about to be the founding day, when millions of people in Chang'an City watch our military parade, do you want to embarrass us for the Tang Royal Military Academy? Are you going to disgrace the Twelve Guards? ”

Cheng Chuliang held a horsewhip, and to see who did not meet the requirements, he directly presented a horsewhip.

If you want to condense the training content of your original three months into one month, these soldiers of the Twelve Guards naturally did not commit any crimes.

However, because they were taught by the Ideology Department every night, the cooperation of these soldiers was actually very high.

This made Cheng Chuliang a little disappointed.

Of course, it's more gratifying.

These self-trained soldiers will show their faces on Suzaku Street in a few days.

I heard that when the time comes, all the officials of the DPRK and China, including His Majesty, will participate.

It's a rare occasion like this.

……

In the early morning of the first day of May, before dawn, the 10,000 sergeants who had received the parade had already assembled outside the Mingde Gate.

Although the location of the parade is in front of the Suzaku Gate, in order to let more people see the majestic military might of the Tang Dynasty, the parade team will walk all the way from the Mingde Gate to the Suzaku Gate.

As the editor-in-chief of "Datang Daily", Luo Bingwang naturally will not miss such an important moment.

In order to be able to write the closest manuscript to the facts at that time, he stayed directly at the Datang Royal Military Academy last night.

Then he followed the parade troops from the academy to the Mingde Gate to wait.

Although the sky is not yet bright, the team wearing uniform clothes and all of them is magnificent, which still makes Luo Bingwang feel a shock.

At first, he didn't really understand why the troops under review had to be trained for so long to stand in a military posture.

Now when I wait at Mingdemen, I can see the different effect completely.

If it were to be replaced by an ordinary army, even if it was the elite of the twelve guards, it was estimated that they would rest there scatteredly at this time.

But now the army of more than 10,000 people is standing upright, and no one is talking nonsense.

Such a large team, but silent, this impact is actually very large.

The defenders of the city walls were the most aware of this feeling.

If it weren't for the fact that these people were all troops who were going to participate in the parade for a while, they were all ready to ask for help.

"When! When ......"

The Big Ben on the door of Mingde rang with seven crisp sounds.

"Squeak!"

The ancient city gate was slowly pushed open, and a wide avenue appeared in front of the parade troops.

Today, the Mingde Gate is not open to ordinary people, so after the gate was opened, it was not as noisy as usual.

Qin Qiong rode on a white horse, and seeing that the time to enter the city had come, he gave an order, and the 10,000 troops under review began to slowly enter the city.

From Mingde Gate to Suzaku Gate, it normally takes two hours, in order to avoid the situation that a group of people want to go to the thatched house halfway, everyone just ate a little dry food when they set off.

However, at this moment, no one feels hungry.

The two sides of Suzaku Street have gathered many people.

Many people learned about today's parade from the newspapers, and they took up a good position early and guarded there.

There were even some people who were ready to follow the parade troops from the Myeongtokumen Gate all the way to the Suzaku Gate.

Qin Qiong took the lead and was the most aware of the changes around her.

However, apart from the necessary instructions, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and the other generals around him would not talk to him at this time.

On the contrary, the people on both sides were happily talking there.

"Master, they all say that the Tang army is invincible in the world, just looking at the momentum of this march, it is extraordinary."

Sarai and Hamedi naturally won't miss such an important opportunity to observe the military strength of the Tang Dynasty.

As Hu merchants who were not well-known in Chang'an City, they did not have the opportunity to stand on the viewing platform in front of the Suzaku Gate to watch the official military parade, so they could only find a position along the Suzaku Street to enjoy it.

"I went to the Great Eclipse once, and I thought that the Persian army would not be able to defeat them, because their army was very disciplined and fought very bravely. In the years since, I have never seen a more powerful army than the Great Cannibal, and I didn't expect that now there would finally be an eye-catching army. To put it mildly, this military appearance alone is absolutely the first in the world, and no one can compare. ”

At this moment, Hamedi made up his mind to stay in Datang in the future.

These days, he has also seen a lot of Hu people in Chang'an City.

Although the people of Chang'an City obviously looked down on them, there was no bullying for no reason.

And those Turks who are in high positions are said to have lived very comfortably in Chang'an City.

Hamedi is now in a relationship with the Wei Chi family, and he believes that he can also gain a firm foothold in Chang'an City and become a Tang man recognized by everyone.

"I heard that there are more than 100,000 such troops in Chang'an City alone, and Datang still has a lot of Zhichong mansions in various state capitals, and there are at least hundreds of thousands of troops in them. Looking around, no country has the strength to defeat Datang at all. Master, I think it's time to visit the head of the Wei Chi family. ”

"Well, I'll go and deliver the prayer post tomorrow!"

The crowds on both sides of Suzaku Street changed with the advance of the troops under review.

An army of 10,000 people may not sound like a lot, but it is actually not a small number.

With 200 people as a phalanx, it is enough to form 50 phalanxes.

There are cavalry and infantry inside, and walking on Suzaku Street gives people a sense of majesty and majesty.

"Niu Zhu, how's it going? With such an excellent army to defend the country, are you still worried about the safety of Shuozhou and Liangzhou? ”

Lao Hansan and Niu Zhu also watched the parade on Suzaku Street.

As the largest transport team in Chang'an City, the development of the Lao Niu Transport Team in Chang'an has entered a bottleneck stage.

Lao Hansan wants to expand the business of the Lao Niu Transport Team to Liangzhou and Shuozhou, and in his opinion, the markets in these two places are the most promising.

On the one hand, because of their location on the border, these two states do not already have large-scale local transport fleets like Luoyang.

The entry of the cattle convoy into these two areas will not produce much of a rebound.

On the other hand, Datang is now vigorously developing cotton planting in the northern part of Hedong Road, and Shuozhou, as a core transit point in the cotton planting area, will inevitably usher in a wave of development peaks.

As for Liangzhou, as an important town on the Silk Road, its status in Datang has always been very high, and its development speed is also very fast.

"Hansan, Liangzhou, let's go to Liangzhou first. It is the fief of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and we will set up a semicolon there first, and then go to Shuozhou when the development is almost complete, so as to avoid the situation of fighting on two fronts. ”

Niu Zhu couldn't find a reason to continue to let the Lao Niu transport team stay in Chang'an City, but he still didn't want to take too many steps.

"Okay, Liangzhou is Liangzhou. In a few days, I will personally take a group of old fellows to set off, and we must make our labor cattle transport team the largest transport team in Liangzhou. ”

A wave of pride rose in Lao Hansan's heart.

As long as the Datang army can ensure the security of the frontier, even if it allows him to expand the business of the Lao Niu Transport Team to further places, he is very confident.

With the continuous march of the troops under review to the Suzaku Gate, it brought endless shock to more and more people in Chang'an City.

Chang'an City has not been at war for more than ten years, and many people can no longer feel the atmosphere of the beacon fire.

This time, 10,000 troops under review marched from Mingde Gate to Suzaku Gate in a uniform manner, which brought far more impact to everyone than imagined.

Luo Bingwang saw all this in his eyes, and his mind had already begun to think about how to write his manuscript.
