In the military parade of later generations, in addition to the infantry phalanx, the most dazzling, but also the last to appear, of course, is the display of heavy weapons and equipment, after the Anbei Army, the left and right escort 20,000 cavalry through the city gate, there are 8,000 light cavalry led by Xi Junmai all wearing new equipment from the city gate, and finally, only to the heavy armored charioteers to pass.

The plate armor made of thick steel plates, a pair of seventy or eighty pounds, pulled by two horses, the wheels are tall, wide, and the wheelbase is wide, and those who know the car will know that it is difficult for such a car to overturn.

And on a chariot like this, it is not a soldier with a bow that is equipped with a sharp arm, but an enlarged version of the repeater, which only needs to be operated by two people, and these repeaters can continuously fire heavy arrows, and each carriage is equipped with at least four large boxes of heavy arrows, which are pushed to the battlefield, not only can move and shoot at high speed, but also can shoot quickly and continuously, hundreds of heavy arrows, shoot at the dense crowd, and finally kill, it is likely to be more than a thousand people, because very few armor can not be penetrated by this kind of large crossbow heavy arrows.

And such a large crossbow car, the Anbei Army drove out as many as a thousand at once.

This fully reflects the benefits of Sun Xiangfu's production of military equipment on the assembly line, once a thing is researched by his subordinates, it is easy to mass-produce in Shanyang.

After the Ballista, the Ballista was bed, which was different from the Ballista's continuous fire, it was larger in size and could only shoot one arrow at a time, however, no one dared to underestimate his lethality on the battlefield.

Because, his arrows are often thicker than his arm, and the range reaches 1,000 steps, once a thousand planes are assembled like the Anbei Army, it is easy to imagine what kind of picture it is to be shot by a thousand arm-thick arrows when the enemy is still a thousand steps away.

After that, it is the largest catapult, this is a vehicle-mounted catapult, unlike the previous tall and difficult to move catapult, it only has a four or five meters long catapult, which requires four people to operate, in the case of it not being launched, no one can predict its range and lethality, but smart people should be able to think that since the Anbei Army put him in the last appearance, it has been proved that this catapult is the most lethal in the configuration of the Anbei Army.

These chariots can quickly pass through the wide slide next to the city wall to the city wall, and the width of the city wall of Shanyang can run this kind of car, which is the effect of planning when building the city wall and designing the chariot. Even when Li Shimin saw these things, he was imagining in his mind how many lives the enemy would have to use to fill Shanyang City if he wanted to break through Shanyang City.

The last thing that passed in front of the city gate was the guard army of the Xue Yantuo Khanate, and to the surprise of all the people and the officials of the Tang Dynasty, they were wearing the same clothes as the Anbei army.

National integration, of course, must start from bit by bit.

Such an idea is naturally Sun Xiangfu's routine, when Li Shimin saw Xue Yantuo's escort appear, he praised Yi Nan for his good governance of the army in the most sincere tone possible, he didn't have much preparation, he casually pulled out a group of people, and he had a heroic posture that could be compared to the main battle force of the Tang Dynasty, which was already rare, and he was very relieved about the security of Xue Yantuo's Khanate in the future.

After that, all the troops were marched under the city wall, and it was Li Shimin's turn to go down to inspect and speak.

An open-top carriage was parked under the city gate, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian boarded the carriage, and Sun Xiangfu and the generals of the Sixteen Guards mounted their horses and followed behind the carriage.

The car just came out of the hole in the city gate, and Li Shimin, who was standing in the carriage, waved his hand with a smile to the people in the stands opposite.

His small action immediately caused a burst of cheers from the people, among which there was an old man named Liu Dawang whose legs trembled with excitement, and he was far away on the city wall before, and he saw an outline, and now, on the road a few feet away, he really saw Li Shimin's face clearly.

It turned out that he was the emperor, and he had drunk the flower tea he brewed in his village and eaten the flower cakes made by the people in the village.

He is not a dragon hovering in the sky, nor is he a god living in the world, he is a kinder person than most people, who ate a few cakes in the village and actually gave the village a cart of sweet melons.

At this moment, Liu Dawang's mood was very chaotic, excited and worried.

also recognized Li Shimin, as well as the villagers who came to the city with Liu Dawang to watch the excitement, at this moment, they also seemed to be in the clouds and fog, and the thoughts in their minds were cut off, and the people in the carriage smiled at them, and they actually laughed along.

Sometimes, it is as simple as a leader to gain the support of the people, and a simple smile is enough.

Compared with those generals in armor, Sun Xiangfu's riding costume is too conspicuous, and the herdsmen and people of the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei are no strangers to him, watching him in the front row guarding the emperor's carriage, and suddenly feel that our northern land, in the Tang Dynasty, is also very important, don't you see our chief official in the front row of the court.

Li Shimin naturally did not shout anything like the leaders of later generations, 'Comrades have worked hard', but his face was dignified, and he enjoyed the attention of all the soldiers and the people with a little kindness, and when the carriage reached the end of the line, turned the horse's head, and returned to the center of all the phalanxes, he faced the soldiers, turned his back to the people, and began to speak his lines.

"I am very fortunate to have you waiting, and the people of the Tang Dynasty have to wait for you, very lucky."

"Datang Wansheng, Datang Wansheng, Datang Wansheng······"

Li Shimin just said an opening sentence, and all the soldiers were excited, and the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis shook the sky like the military parade in Chang'an before.

This kind of scene is extremely powerful, why did Sun Xiangfu let as many people as possible come to watch the parade? I just want them to feel this atmosphere, this feeling of being one in one.

Sure enough, within a few moments, the Han people among the people also joined the shouts of the soldiers, and then the grassland herdsmen who had only been under the rule of the Tang Dynasty for more than a year also shouted.

There are many blind followers at any time, some of them will go to the pit, and some of them have embarked on the broad road, and these herdsmen are the people who have embarked on the broad road.

Li Shimin enjoyed such a scene very much, and on the city wall, Li Tai, Li Ke and many other princes who watched Li Shimin and Li Chengqian driving in the car and were cheered by all the people, were very envious and jealous.

There are also leaders of surrounding tribes such as Koji Zhisheng, Mohover, Asu Lang, Angel Dagor, Manggul, etc., and there are also five miscellaneous people in their hearts, although they are backward, but they are not stupid, they can see the gap between their tribe and the Tang Dynasty, as the leader of a force, their days, I am afraid that they have not lived in Shanyang City, some ordinary rich people live comfortably, at this moment, in their hearts, they all began to want to change the living state of their tribe.

After a few rounds of shouting, Li Shimin finally stopped at the signal of his hand, and then Li Shimin began to speak again.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been leveling the Quartet internally, conquering and defeating externally, and returning all the northern lands to the Tang Dynasty, all of which depend on the lives ······of the soldiers and the dedication of the people."

Li Shimin is the best at using the lowest cost to gain everyone's greatest support and love, so although he didn't bring a manuscript, this long story made many soldiers feel that the emperor is like their confidant, what they have done for the country, the emperor actually knows it, and they all keep it in mind, they don't work hard for such an emperor, what kind of emperor do they work for?

Then, Li Shimin began to give out benefits like crazy.

First of all, the people of the north are exempt from poll tax this year, which is discussed with him since the former Sun Xiangfu, a place like the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei, it is better not to have too many miscellaneous taxes, how much money is confiscated, but it will make the people feel that they are being exploited, and the main tax business of Shanyang, in terms of business, is not bad for this poll tax.

The second is that the emperor came to the north to visit everyone this time, he brought gifts to everyone, and in the entire Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, as long as the people are registered in the household, including the newborn baby, the emperor will send two summer clothes, which are given by the emperor personally.

This move not only moved the soldiers of the Anbei Army, but also made the people in the stands who knew that they were about to receive gifts from the emperor also cheered, exempted from poll tax, each household first saved dozens of yuan, and then distributed two pieces of clothing worth a few cents to each person, this emperor is simply wonderful.

Many people who did not understand the Chinese words repeated by the messengers, after hearing the explanations of the people around them, immediately joined in the cheers, the emperor did not collect taxes, but also distributed things to the people, which was unprecedented in ancient times.

Then, not only under the rule of the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei, but also the vassal state Xue Yantuo, the emperor not only wanted to send millions of pieces of clothing to the people of Xue Yantuo, but also personally went to Mobei to distribute them to the people, and led people to help them establish a sweat city in a selected location, and build a greenhouse that could allow the people's cattle and sheep to survive the winter.

As soon as this news was announced, the cheers of Xue Yantuo's guards also rang out, Li Shimin wanted to reward Xue Yantuo for his affairs, but only Yi Nan knew before, but now, Sun Xiangfu put on a layer of military uniforms for his subordinate soldiers with the same military uniforms as the Protectorate of Anbei Metropolis, and then gave them the same reward as the people of the North.

While this action caused them to cheer, it was also seen by Mohefer, Asuro and others who came to watch the ceremony, envious and jealous! Most of the people in their tribe are still unclothed!

At this moment, these leaders seem to have found a way to change the tribe, that is, to declare themselves to the Tang Dynasty, because after they surrender to the Tang Dynasty, they will also have these things that Xue Yantuo has.

Sun Xiangfu and Li Shimin naturally expected that they would have such a psychological change early on, so the next link in the military parade was a means to break the last hesitation in their hearts.

Li Shimin announced that in the afternoon, all the armies would conduct military exercises on the open grassland outside the city, and although the venue had been fenced off by a police cordon, it was not forbidden for the people to watch outside the cordon.

Soon, Li Shimin's carriage returned to the city, and the generals of each reference also came to a preset circle of the field under the leadership of their respective commanders, here, there are Su Dingfang's subordinates to find the prepared meal, they can eat and drink openly, after all, from the busy work in the morning to now, two or three hours have passed, everyone is already hungry, and there is still a physical work in the afternoon!

Li Shimin originally thought that Sun Xiangfu would arrange for himself and the courtiers to go to the Wangjianglou branch to eat and drink a meal today, but he was very disappointed, and a group of courtiers and guests were invited to the Anbei Army camp in the city.

"Zhengming, you're a little stingy."

Li Shimin, who couldn't bear the heat and took off his shoulders, complained.

"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with being petty, the minister is making room for the people gathered in Shanyang City! The minister estimated that all the large and small restaurants and small food shops in the city are full, and even many households have a large table full of people to entertain the villagers who come to see the lively villagers. ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, thinking of the hundreds of thousands of people who had gathered outside the city to watch the excitement just now, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, don't tell me, what business opportunities do you see again." ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "Hehe, the minister, Your Majesty is also, it's true." ”
