73 Second Military Parade

Inviting his father's gang to participate in this military parade is naturally the next operation, which requires important support from the Sharks, who made the Sharks Gang's current territory in the Luzon Islands.

As a landlord, whether it is out of morality or rules, it is necessary for Hongmen to greet the Shark Gang and obtain their consent before passing south to Mindanao through their power in the next operation.

Moreover, the fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and Hongmen itself has a large amount of undeveloped land on Dayuan Island for development, and in the short period of time in the future, in addition to sending a certain amount of armed forces to suppress the Spaniards, it is impossible to send too many people to mine gold and obtain too many benefits.

Then, the Shark Gang, as the head snake of the land, can just make up for Hongmen's problems in this regard, and let them share the benefits lost by Hongmen and take them into their arms.

Anyway, in the future, when Li De is old, the Killing Gang will also have a place for him Li Tianyang, and then these interests will not go around again and return to the hands of Hongmen?

On August 20, the representatives of the Ming Dynasty had just finished the Mid-Autumn Festival in Keelung Town, and early in the morning, under the guidance of Hongmen members, they came to the newly opened large wharf five miles outside Keelung Town, where a viewing platform with a height of dozens of zhang had already been erected.

Keelung Town's commercial trade is booming, and the previous wharf has become a little too compact in the face of more and more sea ships entering and leaving the port, so Li Tianyang has expanded the wharf and port again on the basis of the original wharf after consulting Wanliang and other professionals.

Now Keelung Town, in the natural haven in the shape of a bell mouth, is enough to accommodate more than 300 ships of about 1,000 materials to enter and exit at the same time, and at the same time, it is also equipped with Hongmen's self-made heavy loading and unloading equipment to unload or load the cargo of a 2,000-material sea ship, which is more than twice as fast as in other ports such as Yuegang, and it requires less manpower.

At noon, when a red cloud suddenly exploded at a high altitude over Keelung Town, the Hongmen departments had already been ready to go, and the long-awaited Hongmen departments took action one after another.

The neat military music sounded, the war drums were strong, the military horns were continuous, and the music played was not the elegant music of this era, but a very profound song "Loyal to the Country" from the memory of Li Tianyang in later generations.

Li Tianyang doesn't know very well what the lyrics of "Jing Zhong Serve the Country" are, but it is easy to hum the tone of the original song, and the sonorous and melodic "Jing Zhong Serve the Country" may not meet the appreciation of the literati of this era for Ge Yue, but it is enough to impress the vast majority of the members from the bottom of the Hongmen.

Because of that time, Li Tianyang used this song "Serving the Country with Loyalty" as a military music, and when he played it in front of more than 50 representatives of all parties at this time, the momentum displayed suddenly made them feel as if they were in a solemn and solemn battlefield.

"Step! Trample! Trample! Trample! ……”

The soldiers carefully selected from the more than 10,000 Hongtang soldiers were divided into more than 10 phalanxes, representing whales, sharks, leopards, medical soldiers, musketeers, special forces and other arms.

Compared with the last military parade, this time the parade ceremony is more fully prepared, military uniforms, weapons, etc. are more unified, and the inland army system of the Ming Dynasty is completely different, more full of vigor and fighting spirit, as well as killing machine, so that the heads of all parties who are familiar with the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty are bright, and they have deepened the attitude of importance to Hongmen.

After the phalanx team, there was a cavalry team that Hongmen had never shown in front of everyone, and even the field artillery team established by Hongmen with war horses was also pulled by Li Tianyang, a total of two 32-pound guns, and Titi stepped on the ground under the traction of war horses and entered the public's field of vision.

Artillery has now been paid more and more attention by teams from all sides, and even the Jurchen Houjin people who are far away outside the Liaodong Pass are said to have begun to trial produce and cast red-coated cannons outside the Qi Pass, and I heard that the progress is still very smooth.

And Hongmen, which is good at using artillery to civilize the Ming Haijiang, will naturally have regular artillery troops.

It was only in the military sense, but these invited businessmen were not as sensitive as their commercial touch, at this time, they saw the thousand-pound weight cannon that was more than a foot long, exuding a dark metallic color, and went all the way north under the brisk footsteps of the two war horses, they had no other perception except to admire the excellent workmanship of these two artillery points.

On the contrary, it was the phalanx of forty-nine people of the Hongmen cavalry team, which made the eyes of this group of merchant representatives shine again and again, pointing fingers and discussing from time to time.

Hongmen raises war horses and livestock, and from time to time secrets, the pasture in Da'an Town that is about to reach the scale of 10,000 livestock, even if Li Tianyang is an immortal, it is impossible to hide it, but what these merchant representatives did not expect is that Hongmen is so ambitious, living on an isolated island, but they are planning to build their own cavalry in advance.

Of course, at this moment, the cavalry phalanx in front of us is revealed, although the high-headed Hetao horse selected by the war horse is uniformly selected, but it can still feel the unfamiliar cooperation between the knight on the war horse and the war horse under the seat, for the representatives of the various businesses here, they are no strangers to horsemanship, so it is not difficult to see that the Hongmen cavalry is just a showcase, which seems to be the same, but in fact it is vulnerable.

No, most of the Hetao horses obtained by Hongmen are used for breeding, since Mao Wenlong was beheaded by Yuan Chonghuan, Hongmen finally established the northern war horse acquisition base, and therefore turned into ashes, and it is difficult to purchase horses in large quantities from the north.

Even the former Dongjiang Town had fallen into the hands of the Houjin people at this time, and Li Tianyang could only rely on the only war horses in their hands to breed horses, and the progress of the cavalry was naturally slow.

When the ten "Yang Fan" stood out, sailed into the dock of Keelung Town in a uniform manner, and demonstrated Hongmen's skillful boating skills in the offshore of the wharf, the entire wharf was on the viewing platform, and from time to time burst into applause.

Compared with the previous knowledge of military formations such as queues, the representatives present here have been working hard at sea for a long time and have had a lot of exchanges with seafarers, so they can naturally see how outstanding the strength of the Hongmen Navy Fleet is at sea.

And when the 400 abandoned stations were dragged to a sea area three miles away, and then 10 "Yang Fan" warships were ostentatiously bombed into pieces of broken wood in the sea with the high-powered artillery carried on the "Yang Fan" warships, the entire military parade entered the climax.
