On the tenth day of the first month of March, early in the morning, the whole capital moved.

In order to make the people see more intuitively, Ye Xun ordered people to build a stepped wooden board under the city wall, and standing on it can see the entire parade scene.

What made the people of the capital boil was the news of the imminent invasion of the Mongol iron cavalry.

This kind of thing could not be concealed at all, and the cabinet had already conveyed the emperor's decree to the nine sides, all localities were on strict alert, soldiers and officers canceled their vacations, and all kinds of military supplies began to be shipped to the border gates.

Although the veteran general Wang Xiangqian could not go to the battlefield in person, he was still invited by Yuan Yingtai to the military department to help plan and dispatch troops.

There is news that after the review of the army, it will go directly to the battlefield, and this news is what the people are most concerned about.

The Ming Morning Post also made full efforts to publicize that the soldiers defending the country were a great thing to honor the ancestors, not only glorious, but also enjoy the highest treatment after returning.

The purpose of this is to increase the soldiers' sense of honor and mission, let them know that joining the army is a supreme honor, and their families will be treated with the best treatment.

In fact, this battle will also be dominated by the Liaodong Army, and although the recent training results of the officers and men of the Beijing Battalion have been good, there is still a long way to go before they are real soldiers.

Under the city, there are five city soldiers and horses and Jinyi guards to maintain order, and at the head of the city are officials and envoys who have been invited to observe, and the center of the city is the position reserved for the emperor.

Despite the presence of sergeants to maintain order, the city was soon overcrowded, and the stepped planks were crowded with people watching the excitement, and there was almost no one to pile up.

In the melodious sound of ancient music, the emperor's guard of honor finally appeared at the head of the city, and the officials on the city wall knelt down and kowtowed three times and shouted long live.

The people in the city were so crowded that they couldn't bend down, let alone kneel and kowtow, but fortunately, no one pursued them.

Zhu Youxiao was like a zongzi, wrapped tightly, and was still carried to the dragon chair by the eunuchs on the jade bowl.

The officials in the city couldn't help but shake their heads secretly when they saw this, the emperor is still like this, how can he manage the government?

Ye Xun didn't know what to say in the emperor's ear, and then saw Zhu Youxiao nodding his head.

Ye Xun immediately made a gesture to receive the order, then turned around and came to the city wall, and made a gesture to the guards next to him.

Everything was rehearsed, and I saw the guards leaning over and lighting the fireworks under their feet.

"Tom!"

"Whew"

After the sound of the cannon, the desolate trumpet sound in the distance also sounded, and soon, in a rush of horses' hooves, a general in armor rode up.

After arriving at the city, he shouted in the direction of the emperor in the city: "Long live the play, the army has been assembled, whether it will start, please let Your Majesty make it clear!" ”

I don't know where Ye Xun got this loud voice, and the shouting was not disturbed by the noisy sounds around him at all, and it still came clearly to the city.

Ye Xun came to Zhu Youxiao's side again, whispered something as if asking for instructions, and then nodded back again.

"Let's go!"

Ye Xun's pretentiousness is to let everyone know that everything he does is acting in accordance with the emperor's will, so that although he can't fool those in the know, at least he can let the people know that Ye Gonggong is absolutely loyal to the emperor.

Hearing Ye Xun's order, the general clasped his fists and saluted, then turned his horse's head and left.

Soon, the large army, which had been staying in the distance, moved, and at the forefront was the infantry phalanx.

But seeing that the swords and guns were like a forest, the armor was dazzling, and the army had not yet arrived, the irrepressible murderous aura had risen to the sky.

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded over the people.

"The first to come is the Yongzi Battalion of Weizhen Liaodong, this army was in Tieling, under the leadership of Ye Gonggong, bravely and tenaciously resisted the Jurchen army, and made great contributions to the defense of my Ming land."

The people looked at the sound in amazement, but they saw that there were many cylinders hanging on the city wall at some point, and the sound came from there.

Of course, this is Ye Xun's initiative, he borrowed from the military parade method of later generations, and sent someone to tell the origin of each army with a loudspeaker, which not only allows the people to understand the origin of the army, but also can inspire the soldiers' sense of honor.

Sure enough, when the first phalanx of infantry approached, the people could not help but burst into applause.

When the phalanx of infantry reached the position of the emperor under the city, they suddenly stopped at the order of the generals, and then saluted the city in unison, shouting at the same time: "Long live, long live, long live"

The sound shook the universe, and immediately covered the voices of the people.

"The next weapon in the hands of this army is the Ye Gonggong named after Ye Gonggong, with a range of up to 500 paces, which is more than three times the firearm used in the original army, which greatly improves the lethality of our army's firearms."

With the narration of the commentary, An Fei Guyang and Li Shi and others on the city wall couldn't help but be shocked, no wonder the Liaodong Army was so powerful, but it turned out that firearms had developed so powerfully.

You must know that the original range of the Ming army's guns was 80 to 200 steps, and after a round of shooting, it had to be turned into a burning stick, because the cavalry rushed too fast, and it would not give you a chance to reload at all, and the range became 500 steps, which was different, at this distance, the firearms could even fire two or three rounds.

As the review army passed under the city one by one, the mood of the people became more and more high, the imperial court has such an elite army, so what are you afraid of Mongolian iron cavalry?

"Coming below is our army's newly formed heavy artillery battalion, these heavy artillery can be described as our army's big killers, in the previous battle of Shenyang, only one round of salvo fire, defeated the Jurchen 100,000 army, thus recovering Liaodong and destroying Jianzhou, laying a solid foundation"

The explanation continued, and the people were shouting hoarsely, but still no one was willing to leave, and Ye Xun's name was also called non-stop.

After seeing the various branches of the Ming Dynasty, An Fei Guyang was even more worried, and he even had a premonition that with Ye Xun here, they would not want to kill back to Jianzhou in this life.

Watanabe was also surprised, although he was humiliated by Ye Xun, but the task was not completed, how could he leave easily? And after seeing the military appearance of the Ming army, this guy was even thinking, no wonder Ye Xun is so tough, it turns out that the army of the Ming Dynasty is so powerful, when he went to see Ye Xun the day before yesterday, was there anything rude?

To say that the most touching person is, of course, Li Shi, he is already thinking about whether it is time to suggest that Li Liang cut off Jin Zidian's head to make amends to Ye Xun, it is really unwise to offend such a strong neighbor for the sake of Jin Zidian.

The shock of these outsiders is still like this, those who were originally dissatisfied with Ye Xun among the officials, after seeing the army and listening to the exclusive explanation, they can no longer afford to go against Ye Xun, no one is stupid, they can see that these troops who are being reviewed are only loyal to Ye Xun alone, I am afraid that the emperor may not be effective.

Thinking of the emperor, many officials subconsciously looked at the place where the emperor was, but saw that the dragon chair was empty, but it turned out that the emperor had left at some point.

Reviewing his own army, the emperor actually only stayed for a while and left, what kind of situation is this!
