In the first year of Tianshun, at the beginning of October, outside the Desheng Gate.

Early in the morning, the armies of Emperor Tianshun had been assembled one after another, and the flags and drums shook the sky in the wilderness outside the Desheng Gate.

Among them, there were more than 40,000 soldiers and horses from various Gyeonggi garrisons, and more than 30,000 soldiers and horses from Shi Heng's department also participated, and Liu Juntao also led 12,000 soldiers of the Tiance Army to stand by.

In this military parade, Emperor Tianshun mobilized nearly 100,000 troops to participate, and the entire capital was a sensation, and the government and the opposition were also shocked.

Near noon, the army of the various departments was assembled, Emperor Tianshun also took the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to climb the Desheng Gate Tower, the courtiers surrounded Emperor Tianshun and looked at the wilderness, only to see nearly 100,000 Ming soldiers divided into more than a dozen huge phalanxes, the fiery red battle clothes were like stormy waves, constantly impacting everyone's hearts!

Emperor Tianshun was also excited at this time, but when Emperor Tianshun looked at the army array of Shi Heng's department in the west, his original elated mood suddenly broke, and his face immediately became gloomy.

"Let's get started!"

Cao Jixiang on the side hurriedly sang loudly: "The parade begins!" The armies of the various ministries are inspected in turn! ”

As soon as the words fell, the drummers on the city tower began to play, and the passionate war music sounded, and Emperor Tianshun's mood became excited, and the feeling of regaining control of the world made Emperor Tianshun happy.

The first to pass outside the Deseungmun Gate was the various units of the Gyeonggi garrison, and I saw that the soldiers of each department were in good spirits and passed by the battalion one by one.

However, the Gyeonggi garrisons of the various ministries are only well-equipped, even if Emperor Tianshun is not very proficient in military affairs, it can be seen that the soldiers of the Gyeonggi troops can only be called good at war, not elite!

After several reorganizations, the various departments of the Gyeonggi garrison still could not be compared with the king's division like the Tiance Army, and Emperor Tianshun was still a little disappointed in this.

However, Emperor Tianshun thought about it, after all, the Tiance army had gone through countless wars, and the Gyeonggi garrison had been crippled when it defended Beijing, and the soldiers and horses that were reorganized after that were all drawn from all over the world.

After more than half an hour, all the soldiers of the Gyeonggi garrison passed outside the Deseung Gate.

After that, it was Shi Heng's soldiers and horses who came over.

More than 30,000 soldiers passed through the formation, led by Shi Biao himself, and the entire army was divided into several phalanxes, the formation was strict and imposing, and from a distance, it was already much stronger than the various units of the Gyeonggi garrison.

What's more important is that Shi Heng's army of more than 30,000 people has all been trained in various places on the nine sides, and the army walked slowly, and a murderous aura came to his face, and Emperor Tianshun immediately frowned, and his face was also very ugly.

At this time, Emperor Tianshun looked at the ministers around him, and saw that everyone was also afraid, but there were still many people with happy faces, and Emperor Tianshun knew in his heart that these people were probably Shi Heng's henchmen.

Emperor Tianshun glanced at Shi Heng in the distance again, and saw Shi Heng standing proudly on the side, looking at the army outside the city, his face full of pride.

"Humph!"

Emperor Tianshun snorted softly and coldly, and then looked out of the city again.

When Shi Heng's army all passed, everyone in the city suddenly heard a loud noise, which was the sound of a cannon, Shi Heng suddenly panicked, looked around, and thought that Emperor Tianshun was preparing to kill himself here in Deshengmen.

When Shi Heng saw from a distance that the Tiance Army was approaching in formation, and the cannon just now was just a signal for the army to advance, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wearing iron armor and carrying a long knife. The battle with the son is long. Fight with the enemy, die and live together. Fight with your son, and your heart will not be slack. Step on the swallow and chase the beard. Fight with the son, and sing fearlessly. ”

As 12,000 soldiers of the Tiance Army came in formation, the majestic war song sounded, the guerrilla general Bai Yuxing led the army forward, and the whole army was as one, and the army array was slowly advancing like a huge wall, which was daunting.

Seeing this, Emperor Tianshun's face suddenly swelled with a hint of flush, this is an excited look!

Tiance Army! It is worthy of being the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty!

Emperor Tianshun and the surrounding courtiers only felt a rush of iron and blood, although there were only 12,000 soldiers in the Tiance army, but the sense of oppression in the face was far stronger than the previous Gyeonggi garrison and the tens of thousands of troops under Shi Heng's department combined!

On the entire parade ground, even one footstep could be heard, the sound of thousands of people stepping in unison, the soldiers of the Tiance Army walked all the way, and they didn't even need to stop the whole team slightly, so they drove all the way over, which surprised Emperor Tianshun and the ministers.

Looking at Shi Heng at this time, his face was already pale, and he had already lost the arrogance just now, Emperor Tianshun looked secretly, and he could even see a lot of beads of sweat on Shi Heng's face, and he couldn't help but cry out in his heart!

On the other side of Emperor Tianshun, I saw that Liu Juntao's expression was normal, without any look of surprise or joy, as if the performance of the soldiers of the Tiance Army in front of him was a matter of course, and it was not worth making a fuss at all, which was what really shocked Emperor Tianshun.

The big military parade on this day is destined to become a hot topic inside and outside the capital, when the whole military parade is over, Emperor Tianshun led the courtiers to walk down the Desheng Gate tower, the people of the capital who watched at the head of the city and outside the city have spread the heroic posture of the Tiance army.

That night, in restaurants and teahouses all over the capital, there were already storytellers talking about "the heavenly soldiers descended to strengthen the country's prestige, and the fierce generals supervised the army to destroy the Tartars", and the impression of the invincibility of the Tiance army was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with this military parade.

At least in the hearts of the people of the capital, I am afraid that there are no soldiers and horses in this world who can compete with the soldiers of the Tiance Army!

Of course, this also includes Shi Heng's army! After the military parade, Emperor Tianshun returned to the Taiji Hall with all the courtiers for a court ceremony, and Liu Juntao and Shi Heng also accompanied him.

On the way to the Taiji Palace, Liu Juntao and Shi Heng walked side by side, and neither of them spoke along the way.

When he was about to enter the Taiji Palace, Shi Heng said in a low voice: "General Liu, you are here this time, do you have any other ambitions?" ”

Liu Juntao glanced at Shi Heng coldly, and did not speak, but his eyes were full of murderous aura, and then he walked straight into the main hall.

Shi Heng was glared at by Liu Juntao, and immediately sweated.

Shi Heng is also a veteran of the battlefield, he thinks he is also a fierce general on weekdays, and he is used to seeing mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, but just now he was so shocked by the murderous aura in Liu Juntao's eyes that he didn't dare to move, as if he was a little careless, he would die tragically in the hands of Liu Juntao, which made people shudder!

"Damn!"

Shi Heng stabilized his mind and walked into the main hall.

However, during the entire ceremony that followed, Shi Heng had no mind to listen to anything anymore, and he kept thinking about Liu Juntao's eyes just now, could it be that Liu Juntao had received the secret decree of Emperor Tianshun and was ready to do it to himself?

Thinking of this, Shi Heng was already upset, and only hoped that this ceremony would end as soon as possible, and only when he returned to the mansion and was protected by the dead soldiers he raised could Shi Heng feel at ease.

However, when the ceremony was finally over, Cao Jixiang's voice sounded: "Your Majesty has a decree: to set up a banquet in the Qianqing Palace, and the ministers are ready to go to the banquet!" ”

Shi Heng looked up in some surprise, and happened to meet Cao Jixiang's eyes, Shi Heng actually saw helplessness, panic, and even fear in Cao Jixiang's eyes!

Suddenly, Shi Heng only felt that his chest was stuffy, shook it, and almost fell to the ground.

"Could it be that Your Majesty is ready to do it in the palace!"

This thought has been raging in Shi Heng's mind, making Shi Heng extremely painful.

After arriving at the Qianqing Palace, Shi Heng sat down under the guidance of the little eunuch, only to see that the civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty had already taken their seats, Emperor Tianshun was also sitting firmly on the dragon chair, and Cao Jixiang was busy in the center of the hall.

However, Shi Heng suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Suddenly, Shi Heng looked around in horror and searched everywhere among the courtiers.

Liu Juntao!

In the main hall, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, but Liu Juntao is missing!

"Where did he go?"

Shi Heng looked at Cao Jixiang again, only to see that the smile on Cao Jixiang's face was very reluctant, and it looked like he was crying from a distance.
