Chapter 18: North and South Battalions
The appearance of veterans pushed the atmosphere of the parade to the top, which made people excited and emotional.
After the parade, Xiang Chi personally met with this group of veterans on the parade platform, several of them even experienced the Taizong period and were over ninety years old.
For these veterans who have shed blood for Da Chu, Xiang Chi gave them all rewards, and the scene was naturally a burst of tears, no way, this is the era of the emperor, although Xiang Chi has not yet established any kind of martial arts, but his surname is Xiang, he is the emperor of Da Chu.
What is the emperor, the Son of Heaven, the gods of heaven descend to earth, the Lord and the people.
For ordinary people, the emperor is everything.
After letting people entertain this group of excited veterans, Xiang Chi took all the civil and military officers into the banquet that had already been prepared.
"Ministers, what do you feel about today's military parade?"
"Your Majesty, this military parade, let me wait for the blood to stir up, recall that year, Taizu has less than eighteen horsemen to determine the world, the creation of Huanghuang Chu, its great martial arts, famous in history, I and other descendants since the inheritance of the founding of the Great Chu, work hard, in times of peace and be prepared for danger" Zhang Youzhi, the first on the right, hugged his fists and said loudly.
"That's right, although Da Chu is strong, stable, and rich now, if because of this, he is greedy for pleasure and violates the ancestral teachings, then he will repeat the previous dynasty and the future," Xiang Chi said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, the army can't go without training for a day, and it won't go without learning for a day, but if there are disobedient people, they will move with three armies and fight bravely to kill the enemy," Ji Yun, who was in the first place on the left, then spoke.
Xiang Chi nodded, and after a little contemplation, he said: "In addition to what Aiqing said, I feel that the other key is the royal family, as the so-called incompetence of one general harms the three armies, and one master is incompetent and the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, this is not something that can be avoided by any system, the education of the descendants of the royal family is more serious than anything, I have decided, since my generation, the children and grandchildren of the next generation must be more strict, not only to learn literature, but also to learn martial arts, learning literature is to understand the general trend, open your eyes, know the past, and learn martial arts can forge your physique, strengthen your muscles and bones, and cast your sharpness." , it's nothing to suffer a little, it's better than losing the country"
If you talk about the system, the system of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life has been quite perfect, even if the emperor is not there, the entire court can continue to operate, but it is precisely because of this that the status of the literati has been unprecedentedly improved, since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, those so-called officials who have gained a reputation for offending the majesty of the Son of Heaven make him extremely disliked, and even make him feel ridiculous, if the emperor can't dominate the world, if a courtier, can be blamed casually, is it still the emperor?
At least he felt that it was not, the entire dynasty, all the rights must be in the hands of the descendants of their Xiang family, which could not be changed in the slightest, so he would rather let his descendants suffer more than follow the example of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the sentence of no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, and the Son of Heaven guarding the country, the death of the king is something that he appreciates very much, which highlights the backbone of a dynasty, and he would rather turn it upside down than be in a corner of peace.
The fall of the Ming Dynasty is not in the Qing Dynasty, but mainly in the struggle with the party and natural disasters, if there are no these two, what are the Eight Banners, what is Nurhachi, if it is in Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and even the so-called absurd Ming Wuzong period, you can also be beaten to extinction.
And when Wenwu heard Xiang Chi's words of self-consciousness to the royal family, he immediately admired: "Your Majesty Shengming"
Xiang Chi smiled lightly, picked up the Linglong cup on the desk, and said gently: "Today is a happy day, don't talk about this, come"
"Your Majesty, please"
After drinking a cup together, Xiang Chi suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said deliberately: "To say that today, in addition to the arrival of veterans, the Blood Tiger Army is still the first male army of my Great Chu, which makes me very pleased."
"Your Majesty, it's been awarded," Ji Yun said modestly.
"Cut, if you had touched the Holy Guard, you would have been beaten down a long time ago" Behind Xu Ping, the general who had been arrogant to the Blood Tiger Army when he was parading the army, heard this at this time, and immediately said with some disdain.
"Bang" only heard the sound of the pat, and a burly warrior behind Ji Yun stood up angrily, pointed at the man and said, "What do you mean, I will put up with you for a long time"
He was sitting next to him, others couldn't hear it, he heard it clearly, he was angry at the beginning, but Xiang Chi was there, he couldn't help it, but now the other party actually slandered again, he really couldn't help it.
"Korean Ban"
"Zhang Chong"
Looking at the two of them who were glaring, Ji Yun and Xu Ping looked anxious at the same time, usually forget it, but now His Majesty is here!
Wen Chen on the other side was a little confused at this time, what was the situation, why did he suddenly quarrel.
A smile flashed in Xiang Chi's eyes, but the whole person froze, "That's how you two lead the troops."
Ji Yun and Xu Ping were shocked, and hurriedly clenched their fists and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is ashamed."
Xiang Chi slowly stood up, crossed the two, and looked at Han Ban and Zhang Chong, and in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, he saw that above the two golden clouds, two third-grade cheetahs were roaring.
Looking at Xiang Chi's expressionless face, the two of them were suddenly a little scared, and their hearts instantly cooled.
"You!" Xiang Chi pointed at Zhang Chong, who was ringed with a leopard's head, and said coldly: "Why do you say that the Blood Tiger Army is not good, give me a reason, otherwise I will let you go and fight the Blood Tiger Army alone."
Zhang Chong was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The last general will know his mistake"
|“ Your Majesty" Xu Ping hurriedly prepared to say something.
"You shut up for me" After Xiang Chi snorted, Tie Qing said with a blushing face: "Why, when you became a Zuo Du Governor, you forgot all the rules of the East Palace"
"The minister is guilty," Xu Ping said with his head down.
"Your Majesty, General Zhang Chong is just impulsive, he has no intention of insulting the northern suburbs" At this time, the elegant man with eight eyebrows replied.
Xiang Chi glanced at it, and suddenly a first-class male master appeared, with a hint of surprise on his face.
|“ What's your name?"
"Your Majesty, the last general Yu Guang" the man replied immediately.
"Oh! You are Yu Guang, then tell me, why did Zhang Chong say that the Blood Tiger Army is no longer good, is there anything more powerful than the Blood Tiger Army in the southern suburbs?" Xiang Chi asked.
Yu Guang was stunned for a moment, hesitated slightly, and then hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the Blood Tiger Army is indeed invincible in the world, like a city and a wall, crisscrossing the battlefield, but... ”
"Say" Xiang Chi asked, the reason why he deliberately praised the Blood Tiger was because he heard the word Shengwei, and in his impression, it seemed that Da Chu did not have this army.
"But the speed of the Blood Tiger is too slow, and the Governor has obtained a thing, and if it is a hundred feet away, the Holy Guard built by the Governor to protect His Majesty may be defeated," Yu Guang replied.
"Impossible, no army, in the case of fighting alone, can resist the Blood Tiger, even if it is a crossbow arrow, it is difficult to pose a threat to the Chongkai of the Blood Tiger Army" Shen Cong, the secretary of the military department, immediately questioned.
The corners of Xiang Chi's mouth raised, and he said to Xu Ping: "You guy, it seems that you still have a back hand."
Hearing this, Xu Ping knew that Xiang Chi's anger had disappeared, and he immediately said modestly: "Your Majesty forgives me, the minister just wanted to take it out when His Majesty inspected the southern suburbs, but I didn't expect Zhang Chong to be a bastard and offend Tianwei."
"Haha, the military general is a little arrogant, I don't care, but this so-called holy guard, if you don't have this ability, then I will smoke you" Xiang Chi laughed.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the two armies compete and see how it goes" Hearing this, Shen Cong suggested.
"No" I saw Xu Ping suddenly anxious, and said: "Your Majesty, this thing is very powerful, surpassing the sword, although the Blood Tiger Army is powerful, but it is infantry, once it is fought, there will be casualties"
"Oh!" Xiang Chi was surprised, he knew that Xu Ping was not a joker, he must have a reason for saying this, "I'm really looking forward to it"
