On the tenth day of the fifth month, it was indeed a very important day for the Xingtian Army, Xiao Tianjian specially allowed all departments to rest for a day on this day, and ordered to improve the food for the personnel of each department and add a meal of meat to eat.

At the same time, Xiao Tianjian also ordered all departments to send out 100 elite soldiers from each sentry and horse to assemble in Lotus Village one day in advance, and ordered the local security chiefs to inform the villagers under their jurisdiction that the Xingtian Army would hold a military parade outside the Lotus Village on the 10th day of the first month of May to show the local people the military appearance of the Xingtian Army, which not only included the sentinel infantry army, but also included the men and horses of the cavalry team and the artillery team, and even the baggage team and the juvenile battalion participated in the parade.

Even those wealthy families who surrendered to the Xingtian Army also received the news, so that they sent people to the Lotus Village to watch the ceremony, and even Fan Xi was invited from Yangcheng County to watch the anniversary parade of the Xingtian Army, and naturally the Fan family inevitably sent a generous gift to the Xingtian Army to celebrate.

So early in the eleventh morning of the first month of May, the people who received the news rushed to the outside of the Lotus Village early, gathered in the open space outside the Lotus Village, stretched their necks and scrambled to see the excitement, and those invited rich households, for fear of offending the Xingtianjun, did not dare not come, they rushed to the outside of the Lotus Village in advance, and prepared a generous gift, sent to the Lotus Village, handed over to the Xingtianjun, and Xiao Tianjian also unceremoniously accepted their congratulatory gifts.

Under the personal command of Xiao Tianjian, the soldiers and horses of the various sentinels of the Xingtian Army were lined up in the open space outside the Lotus Village one by one, for this parade ceremony, although Xiao Tianjian was not able to distribute new clothes to the soldiers for the time being, but still pulled out a part of the cloth from the limited materials, and everyone was issued with new leggings, and a new cloak was also distributed to everyone.

In this way, although the preparation for this parade was very hasty, but fortunately, the personnel of all departments have never relaxed their training, after changing into cloak leggings, the military appearance of the Xingtian Army suddenly became more tidy, and all the generals who were paraded changed their costumes, lined up outside the lotus village, and spent an hour to do the queue review and march review.

Don't look at the number of soldiers in the Xingtian Army, but the generals in the reference left a very deep impression on the local people, and the queue march that the Xingtian Army is good at makes everyone feel the kind of murderous aura exuded by the generals of the Xingtian Army, and everyone can't help but applaud the Xingtian Army.

The most eye-opening thing is the hundred-man cavalry team led by Wang Chengping of the Xingtian Army, and the square team of the artillery team, although there are not many hundred-man cavalry, but these cavalry trained by Wang Chengping are all superb in riding, and when they appeared, everyone wore a cloak, how powerful and powerful, and each cavalry hung a long saber on his waist, and had a horse pistol in his hand, and was dressed in iron armor. A total of ten columns, actually walked neatly, can't help but amaze, especially when they passed by the parade platform, but also did a collective short-distance charge action, a hundred horses accelerated at the same time, the cavalry on the horse even together with a spear on the horseback to do a straight stabbing action, even so, the horse team did not appear chaotic, it made people have a feeling of thousands of horses, one after another gasped, such a performance is even more amazing, I can't figure out how the Xingtian Army has such a powerful cavalry team.

And the artillery team is not ambiguous, Huang Shengqiang is now seriously injured, is being treated in the medical camp, can not participate in the parade, the artillery team is under the command of one of his deputies named Zhang Qing, a total of sixteen horses pulled out of eight cannons (one of which is a three-pounder gun made by the Xingtian Army, and the remaining seven are Furlong machine guns), showing everyone the heavy firepower of the Xingtian Army, but also made these people who have never seen the world exclaim, feel that the Xingtian Army is too powerful.

And Xiao Tianjian also wore a helmet and armor on this day, wearing a red cloak, standing on the school review platform, it seemed that he was extremely strong and tall, everyone who saw him applauded him loudly, and some people like Fu Deming and other people who did not participate in the parade changed their clothes, and stood energetically behind Xiao Tianjian to accompany him in the parade, all of them had a solemn face.

Don't look at it as a simple parade that can't be simpler, but after letting the local people see it, they all have the bottom in their hearts, and after seeing the Xingtian Army with such a clean appearance, they are also much more confident in the Xingtian Army, just like giving them a shot in the arm, no longer as panicked as before, for fear that the Xingtian Army will be destroyed by the government one day, and the land they just got will be taken away by the government again.

And some of the wealthy families who ostensibly submitted to the Xingtian Army, after seeing the military appearance of the Xingtian Army, they were even more afraid of the Xingtian Army in their hearts, even a few people who wanted to make some trouble for the Xingtian Army in the future, after seeing the military appearance of the Xingtian Army, they were also frightened, which effectively deterred these people with different intentions.

It can be said that this military parade on the first anniversary of the formation of the Xingtian Army, although it did not show all the strength of the Xingtian Army, but it still played an effective and inspiring role in the local area, in addition to making the soldiers and generals have a strong sense of pride, but also united the hearts of the local people and achieved Xiao Tianjian's goal.

And Xiao Tianjian said that day in the new barracks at the parade, once again loudly to the people present, undoubtedly greatly strengthened the people's support for the Xingtian Army, at the same time he also announced the decision to punish those deserters in this new barracks, and told these people that if they did such a thing for the first time, they would no longer overdo their responsibilities, but just confiscate their fields, and never hire them again, if such people appear in the future, usually, For them and their families, they will be expelled from the locality, confiscated all the family's property, and will not be allowed to re-enter the local area to earn a living.

As soon as this matter was announced, it immediately caused an uproar among the people, and many people scolded those deserters on the spot, and some people who had children who served as soldiers in the Xingtian Army were all taken aback, and without waiting to go home, they hurriedly found someone to send a letter to their sons and nephews, telling them to do a good job in the Xingtian Army, and not to do the thing of being a deserter, because their whole family in the province will not be able to make a living here in the future, and they will not be able to raise their heads with them for the rest of their lives.

After the military parade, after many villagers who had watched the military parade of the Xingtian Army returned to their villages, the security chiefs immediately struck while the iron was hot and organized the township soldiers in the local villages and villages to start training, which immediately set off a training boom in the locality, and Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered a large number of freshly captured swords, guns, and weapons to be distributed to the township soldiers in various places, replacing the sticks and hoes they held in their hands when they were just formed, which immediately raised the quality of the equipment of the township soldiers to a higher level.

And these security chiefs are all veterans of the Xingtian Army, all of them have received systematic training from the Xingtian Army, although they may not be able to reach the level of instructors in the new barracks, but the use of agricultural slack to train the township soldiers is still more than enough for them, so there is no need for Xiao Tianjian to supervise, and the combat effectiveness of the township soldiers will soon be qualitatively improved, and these local township soldiers will sooner or later be the reserve force of the Xingtian Army.
