Looking at the tall horses riding one color, dressed in blue and gray and embroidered robes, with swords and helmets on their backs, and their heads wrapped in colorful washes and erected white feathers, they have since been divided into many long phalanxes, and the team has gone out of the city gate.

"Is this the parade of greeting relatives?"

On the wall of Jiangning City, a soft and soft voice said behind the specially laid curtain

At the forefront are a guard of honor on horseback and holding flags, and in the middle of the chariot decorated with colored silk, there are drummers and singers from Andong and Silla standing in the middle, and the wind and singing are very lively.

The wind and thunder flag where the pink paw print flag and the purple electric red flame meet, as well as the vermilion lacquer wooden plaque with various official positions, knighthoods and titles, are reflected in the air.

Finally, there was a long procession of chariots and horses full of gifts and tributes, accompanied by light gray soldiers in armor and spears on their backs, slowly walking through the long street in rows.

Riding on the same tall and sturdy horses, or in the process of marching in a uniform procession, there is a kind of iron-blooded and fearless wind that is insignificant between life and death, and the sea of corpses and blood is like a smooth road and just waiting for the command.

Their straight and straight figures were as tall as steel cast in iron, and they were almost unmoved under the scorching sun, only the rustle of hooves and footsteps marching in silence, and the synchronized vibrations were like rumbling war drums, beating one beat after another on the hearts of all kinds of people watching along the street.

In contrast, the guards who were staggering from the sun while maintaining order on the streets, or the accompanying guards who were hiding in the shade at the head of the city, were somewhat dwarfed.

The leader in the center rode a carmine-colored BMW with colorful curtains, a black light armor with goose wings and a deep red coat, a head hanging down and a purple waist, and a general who was draped with complete cheek protection and face covering, which immediately attracted the attention of the people on the left and the outside, as well as an uproar on the side of the street under the city wall.

"Could it be this husband?"

A soft, expectant female voice asked again.

"It's a pity that I can't see it more clearly in this mirror."

"Your Majesty, it's really hot here."

An older female voice arrived.

"Your dignity is delicate, please take care of it."

"Sure enough, it has the qualifications of the Beifu Army."

And on the other side of the city, there are also people who exclaim while commenting,

"Sassy and majestic, Wufu, worthy of being the first-class strong town in the North."

"But I don't know how many of them are. From the conquest of the Northern Regions of the country's children. ”

An indecipherable voice interjected.

"You're amazed at what you said."

"According to the system of the national dynasty, regardless of the inside and outside of the mountains, the south of the river and the north of the river,"

"Whether it is Kannai or Lianghe, they will all be the children of the subjects under the rule of our country."

"What's the difference between north and south?"

"But I took the liberty to talk to Meng Lang."

The person who said this immediately apologized and remedied.

"But then again."

Some people hurriedly changed the subject.

"Even if the Beifu Army is alive, it depends on whose hands it holds."

。。。。。。。。

Once again, I settled in Banmei Garden, but I felt that there were more changes, and it had become a part of the state guesthouse specially for receiving foreign envoys and important ministers of the country.

Therefore, the plum trees and rockeries, lake stones, pavilions and runoffs that can be seen everywhere in the original interior have been replaced by a large number of seasonal flowers and orchids from outside the mountains, and many Cantonese-style empty corridor and corner pavilions and towers have been added between the pavilions and water pavilions with strong Jiangnan charm.

Among them, there is even a new seven-fold pagoda with yellow pottery glazed eight-sided curly horns and bells,

Everywhere are repainted white walls, black tiles and lacquered arch cornices, giving off the smell of fresh wood mixed with raw ash and lacquer.

Although it is separated by the distance of most of the city, from here from a distance, you can still see the edge of the stone city head of the inner city, vaguely revealing the green ridge and black tiles and glazed roof of the temple.

Numerous carts were loaded and unloaded with cages, revealing other special cargoes pressed underneath, various weapons and ammunition in bundles and bags, and the vehicles themselves were specially designed with structures and compartments that could be connected and used as bunkers if necessary

In addition, although the imperial court was a rule, the number of personal servants who were allowed to enter Jiangning City was limited, but the other husbands and miscellaneous personnel who were responsible for helping to run the equipment and pulling the carriages and horses were obviously not limited to this limit, which was also a place that could be used.

Therefore, compared with the genus of the guards who emphasize the appearance and image on the surface, most of these companion miscellaneous servants are actually specially selected by the army, and the veterans who are inconspicuous in appearance or ordinary in appearance are filled; As long as you are armed with these additional ammunition equipment, you can immediately pull out a ready-made living force.

With a certain position of persecution paranoia and the motive of the worst-case scenario, I will take precautions to ensure that the balance of my escort forces in the city is not too far apart and I will fall into disadvantage.

Therefore, so many wagons and horses and loaded baggage were put to use, and became the best means of cover in name;

Once settled down and before the final good time comes, there are all kinds of entertainment that will be ushered in, such as those who have always been friendly and old-fashioned, all send people to the door to post congratulations or greetings, and then return gifts and exchanges one by one according to their respective statuses and relatives;

Even the highest-ranking military attache in the locality, Chief Ning, who had already paid homage to the privy councillor and had some need to avoid suspicion, sent his deputy head and envoy of Chengzuo Street, Ning Wuyi, to inquire about the arrangements for the honor guard and the official reasons for street affairs, expressing a certain attitude of importance and exchanging tones.

That night, it rained heavily, and the heat that made the fakes steaming on the day was suddenly extinguished a lot, and the entire Jiangning city was shrouded in a misty water curtain, but this could not affect those who sent their families and sent relatives to come to post gifts and say goodbye, and by the way, they mixed all kinds of familiar and famous figures and civil and military officials and subordinates who were stranded in Jiangning.

Among them, a considerable number of them are nominally assassins, taishou, master bookkeepers, governors, signatories, etc., who are attached to the name of Huaizhen and only enjoy the rank and treatment of the Lu officials; The other part is because they are afraid of the harsh and dangerous environment in the north, and they dare not or refuse to go to the local miscellaneous officials, many of which are so-called "losing officials" who are bought with money; But in any case, in terms of rank, it can be regarded as my "subordinate", so this time I have more or less gathered the elements to come over, just to be able to leave a xx name in the concierge.

And the purpose of their behavior and camp drill is more to ask for others, or hope for the new changes brought about after the wedding, and the benefits and opportunities brought to themselves; In a sense, most of these are the most sensitive to the situation and dynamics of the court, and the political creatures of the government and the opposition who are good at looking at the direction of the wind and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages are also the weather vane of the overall environment to a certain extent.

Finally, the local famous families, wealthy businessmen, and even the guild brains in the city came to congratulate me collectively under various names, and even communicated with our subordinates (after all, there were also old people from Jiangning-Runzhou), in order to obtain a name and reason to make friends.

However, when they came to pay their respects and ask for a meeting, they also revealed a certain tone and rumors: someone in the court used this proposal to leave Huaibei Province in the future, and then upgrade it to the governor of Huaibei Province, so as to separate a military and civilian affairs according to the old practice of the national dynasty.

After Xie Huiyan, the envoy who was originally stationed in the local area, went to Guangfu with the imperial court, the person in charge of the transfer and communication of official documents here on behalf of Huaizhen was replaced by Zhu Shengfei, a lower-level musician; This is also an old man and a student who was found by Kodansha back then, and his family is a shabby small businessman, but he is a shy and kind little fat young man.

This time, he also brought and introduced the ceremonial envoys and ceremonial officials sent by the shogunate, Wei Liao, the lieutenant envoy from the Imperial Palace, and Liang Zhixian, the chief secretary from Zongzheng Temple; Responsible for reporting and negotiating with my subordinates, the specific route, process, venue and guard arrangements for the marriage in a few days, and other steps and details.

As a result, I ended up idle, because this is a process of reciprocating and calculating section by section, article by clause, mainly in the dominance of each link and the proportion of each person;

The highlight of the special requirements of the dynasty is mainly to arrange the process of parading through the streets, so as to show the dignity and honor of the dynasty, as well as the corresponding majesty and grandeur; On the contrary, the specific ceremonies and sacrifices after arriving in Stone Town can be relatively brief, so as to understand the hard work and fatigue of specific people.

Most of the whole process is run by someone during the operation, and I don't need to worry too much, but only need to ride on a horse to play, and in the last link, I only need to sharpen my gun in battle, and practice a few rituals and actions to visit the shrine.
