Chapter 250: Re-reading (Text)
Drums and trumpets are noisy, flags are displayed, this kind of familiar scene, I have seen it once after returning to Guangfu, which is the review of the Qinwang divisions after the Qingyuan military rebellion was pacified.
Only this time, I had become one of them, and I had to sit on horseback in a full-clothed suit, waiting to enter the street to be cheered and judged.
On my left and right, except for Xin Jiaxuan's class of officers who were born in martial arts, everyone else looked a little nervous, after all, it was the first time to participate in this kind of occasion, and standing in the stands to judge and stand in the street for people to comment on was another matter.
The soldiers blushed even more, and under the low reprimand and restraint of the non-commissioned officer, they tried to control their excitement and anxiety, knowing that many of them had lived in the Yuanzhou Outer Domain before, and they were not so familiar with and seen the Huahua world of Guangfu.
Therefore, I had to take the initiative to enliven the atmosphere, talking and laughing at the left and right as a demonstration of stress relief, in my words to comfort them, as if we were quietly in the class because of the temporary recall before, and we didn't catch up with the triumphant ceremony at the beginning.
After these words were passed through the battalion leaders and team officers to the soldiers, their commotion and tension finally decreased, but they began to look forward to it a little more.
Of course, with all kinds of news and chaotic news coming back from Anyuan Prefecture, the original triumphant ceremony seemed to be far away and could not be counted on.
Today is the small meeting exercise at the end of the year, and it is also the first appearance of the new army after it was founded half a year ago. So I gave a special amount of money for decoration and dressing, so that we could prepare the line for proofreading.
The soldiers wore wide-brimmed hats with greenish-brown markings and chain vests that hung down to the waist, while the white soldiers and spearmen wore the traditional round-brimmed helmets and one-piece chain mail, reinforced with strips of iron at the key points of the chest, abdomen, shoulders, and hem;
A small number of cavalrymen wore scale armor with a full cuirass and small round helmets, while the officers wore more elaborate mountain armor or simple Mingguang armor with simple flower ornaments; All of the caps and helmets were covered with shaded cloth with coloured ribbons wrapped around them according to class and class as ornaments, and non-commissioned officers and officers were decorated with tassels and feathers as identification marks.
The hunters and even the catchers marching in the queue have an extra cloak similar to grass green camouflage.
All the armor, tied with belts and hangers in tight-sleeved canvas suits, looked much wider than those of the robes, and were much sharper than the other troops that were agitated by the cloaks.
After the drum beat again, it was the cavalry team of the sixth series of soldiers and horses on the right side of the march, which began to appear.
They were dressed in all kinds of scale armor or dark red bright armor, and the generals and standard-bearers were all dressed in plain coats, and turned on their horses under the slogan of their respective officers, and according to the distance and batch, while stepping on some kind of drum beat and beat, they tried to pacify their mounts, and held the reins, and formed a long line of three or five, and slowly walked out of the school grounds, and it is said that the horses who came to the school parade were the most docile and least frightened types.
After the last few small drinks and the passphrase of mutual containment, we began to wait for the next drum beat. I also took another look at the proofreading staff under my command, although the team also looked quite neat and the momentum was good. However, compared with the strength of other parade troops or the peak of the lineup, there is not much advantage, so it is ranked at the end of the shift.
As a little experience of modern people participating in military training, a little bit of small means are used, such as trying to make people with similar heights stand in the same column, and sort them from the middle to the front and back according to the height advantage, so as to create a relatively neat visual effect.
Those with particularly outstanding height are placed in the front to pull a certain distance as the leader of the platoon and the leading standard-bearer.
This is also a major advantage of the firearms army, with the popularization of firearms, compared with the traditional army, the physical requirements for soldiers' height and physical fitness have also been relatively reduced. theoretically the threshold of militarization, further lowered,
After all, as long as you can operate skillfully, even a frail person can easily kill a tall and strong man, and the soldier's service period and efficiency are also relatively relaxed.
It's just that our luck today is a little bad, just out of the school gate, God gave us a dismount, after a short thunder rolling, the wind brought a moist and dense atmosphere.
"It's raining,"
I felt the wetness on my face as the tick on my helmet made it impossible to do the prepared belly cases such as stabbing and shooting demonstrations.
"Pass the order down and implement the plan for the number C......"
At the other end of the long street, in front of the Dingding Gate, the parade ground was already shrouded in thunder and heavy rain.
In the noisy rain curtain, the curtains that shaded the sun and rain had already been spread out on the stands, and the colorful umbrellas were also held up without shelter, but not many people avoided the rain, but continued to stay in place, because the big men on the stage did not move.
Da Xiangguo looked expressionlessly at the figure running around in the rainstorm, busy looking for shelter,
He was sixty-nine years old, and he had been thirty or forty years since he had taken over and mastered this vast country from his father, a long period of time that had worn out most of his life, and in the end he was left with a deep burnout.
Although he is still healthy, compared to the courtiers of the same age, there are not most old people who apply common diseases, only some small problems of backache and weak legs, but he feels that his spirit is getting worse and worse, and he is tired of facing political affairs, if it were not for the series of changes brought about by the change in Qingyuan, he should have been recuperating in the hot spring palace of Hainan Guoling for a long time.
Instead of sitting back here and watching the factional strife between the old courtiers and the prison state, continue to maintain sufficient control over the country. Today is a rare mood to come out and show up at the school parade, showing the goodwill and admiration of the two generations of the shogunate in disguise, so as to maintain the stability of the government and the opposition.
It's just that he is in a rare good mood, and now there is no more, the dynasty has poured a lot of money, invested manpower and material resources without calculation, gathered the seeds of elite soldiers and good generals from all parties, and created a model new army, which was washed by this heavy rain, and dressed up as birds and beasts scattered, what kind of model army is this, the sense of honor and the dynasty have been washed away by the rain "Is this the surprise you gave me......"
Thinking of this, he glanced at the middle-aged contemporary prison of a country, and he was always able to speak well, but he was also a little speechless.
In the empty square, most of the research had dispersed, and there were a few left, and there were some helpless generals who remained in place, and then they seemed to realize that the situation was not good, so they successively dragged them from under those temporary shelters, and the chief officer and his own soldiers dragged them hard, and rushed back some more, and reformed a queue that had shrunk a lot.
It was only at this time that someone on the stage noticed that in the vague rain curtain, there was still a man in the same place, maintaining a basic formation, instead of scattering to hide from the rain like others.
This result made Da Xiangguo's face not so ugly.
"Which part of the New Army is this......"
The contemporary prison state asked first.
"It is under the command of Liu Yanqing, the left general of the New Army......"
The ministers with slightly better faces looked left and right before someone replied
"This Liu Feng general is, the son of Liu Shaoneng, the rebel army of the south the day before yesterday"
"They are all cutting-edge divisions that have just finished winning the battle, no wonder they can have this kind of spirit and appearance......"
"This is what Jiangmen Huzi should mean......"
These high-powered bigwigs spoke out one after another.
"It can be rewarded for its loyalty and bravery......
A privy envoy is even more established, but the voice has not fallen, and it seems that there has been a new change.
The sound of neat singing in the rain curtain and the noise of the distant stands immediately attracted their attention and eyes.
"Are there any more centaurs......"
A military minister said with some doubts.
"There are also soldiers and horses under the command of the left wing, who have not yet entered the field......"
A guard attache replied in a low voice
"What,"
Seeing that Da Xiangguo's brows were locked heavily, Jian Guo couldn't help but open his voice
"How is this arrange......d?"
"Such a clear omission ......"
On the stands set up along the street, there was already a roar, because these officials and people had already vaguely seen the comers.
What kind of man it was, almost all of them were drenched in a queue like chickens, their weapons, armor and hats were twisted and twisted by the rain, and everyone was sparkling with water, dripping down like a curtain.
Although there were good drainage facilities on the avenue of the school review, the shower was so great that every part of their march was stepping on puddles of water that were too large and small to disperse, and they were stumbling like wolves.
Not to mention their drum and bugle military music, which has become an unplayable ornament, and it is becoming more and more unbearable. But when I walked in, it was a different story.
In the rain, the basic marching queue was maintained, although occasionally someone slipped and fell, or stumbled and fell into the water, but was quickly helped up by the front and back, left and right, even if the injured nose and face were swollen, it was limping and continuing to move forward, but it was not like this, so the formation was disrupted.
The military flags that were wet and wrapped up in a ball by the rain still stood straight in the air, as if these soaked, covered with dots and stains, and dripping water, continued to straighten their waists, looking ahead without squinting,
Still splashed by the rain on his face, poured into his eyes, ears and nose, and unwaveringly maintained his pace and neatness, even if the sword mountain and fire in front of him, he was not afraid of the momentum.
Then
On the makeshift stands along the street, all kinds of laughter and discussions gradually disappeared, and finally became a death-like silence, as if it was solidified and infected by this rare scene outside the body and their persistent and tenacious solemnity.
They were in high spirits and sang majestic songs, and slowly walked towards the stands, as if they were not immersed in the storm, but walking on the sunny and warm spring breeze on the smooth road.
As they sang more and more fluently, they rose to the sky, as if piercing the rain curtain and dispersing the thunder, and the clear humming in the ears of every crowd of people near and far who were watching, with a kind of will and determination that even the storms and storms could not be taken lightly, poured into the mixed feelings of everyone who had not yet left.
"Model New Army, Model New Army, I have said a lot, and this is what I have a basic appearance......
Da Xiangguo opened his mouth, and there was a wave of praise on the left and right.
"Is this the finale scheduled for the end......
"I know what the origin of this film is and the ...... to invest in"
"It is said that the predecessor is the left ...... of the Longzhou regiment"
"Longzhou regiment left? ……”
The big shots present had a short cold scene with difficulty, and they seemed to be thundered by this huge psychological contrast.
"The fierceness of the Longzhou soldiers is also famous in our dynasty......
Until a voice deliberately broke this embarrassment and coldness
"This Longzhou Tuanzuo is just a name, mainly from West Borneo Road......"
An uninteresting voice added cautiously afterward. However, the next sentence is a bit heart-wrenching.
"It is said that most of them are from the children of the Luo clan in Fuyuan Prefecture......"
"Is that the Luo Fan of the descendants of the eight leaves......"
Da Xiangguo rarely took the initiative to ask
"But it's not surprising......"
After receiving an affirmative answer, he straightened his face
"The ancestors of your generation, that one is not overcoming thorns and thorns in the wilderness, cleaving waves on the other side of the ocean, trekking through the vicious wind and hot sea,"
"In the hands of Siyi and Jiubian, we seized the place of existence little by little, and only then did we open up our current prosperous situation and great mountains and rivers......"
"The past does not forget the teacher of the future, and these people are too comfortable to be happy......"
"How can the army that was dispersed by a heavy rain be expected to defend their home and the country, and the courage to go into battle to kill the enemy and drive the country......"
"In my opinion, the rectification of this army is not enough......"
"Actually let these kinds of goods mix in with the new army...... The blame is inevitably ......"
"Relevant people, etc., shall not be spared ......"
"What the king said is very ......"
The people in charge of the prison country got up one after another and hurriedly made a gesture of ear to face.
And with the exit of Da Xiangguo, a dispute also broke out around the person who was around the prison country, and some people wanted to plead and make more efforts, but they were scolded by Cai Hou, the leader
"That's enough, Daxiangguo at least retained some affection, and didn't withdraw it, but let us correct it ourselves......"
"At least there is still a possibility of redemption, but the relevant people and others are afraid that they will not be able to escape the culpability, and they will not be able to be shaded......"
"At least you have to come up with a sufficient amount of explanation to satisfy the king......"
"And the person who was talking about Luo Fan just now, also dispose of it for me......"
"If you want to cover it, it's too late to say that it's a villain like him......"
"There are not enough things to achieve and more than to fail, and they really can't keep him......"
meanwhile
"What about the pre-pilot, where is the pre-pilot? ,”
A high-ranking military officer in full military uniform at the front desk suddenly stood up and shouted
"Why do they ...... Didn't show up in front of the team"
"I'm afraid I'm going to take shelter from the rain......"
A voice on the left and right replied
"Damn, then they approached the king without guidance and were armed, it was like rebellion......"
"Who stopped them for me......"
"Enough, Zheng Yangnian......"
A stern voice interrupted
"Even if you are a commander of the watch, you can't and can't wantonly blame others to get away with it......"
"The other party is a ...... army"
The word seemed to hit him in the dead hole.
He was just used to enjoying this decent and wealthy position, not really incompetent, but before he was put down with a dead face, he looked at his brother Cai Hou for help, but the other party had an indifferent and deaf expression.
Coming down from the stands, I still have a feeling of disbelief, and I actually saw Da Xiangguo so lightly, although it was only temporary, and I said a few words in the cut-scene Q&A.
But it was the prisoner next to me, who was full of thoughts, that made a slight impression on me again, because he gave me a fur suit. Then I knew more or less about the cause and effect of this military parade in the rain
There are really some coincidences before and after, if you want to say that other people, there may not be experienced veterans, and they may not care about the rain, but it is estimated that the image will not be too good.
Therefore, their commander-in-chief patronized the selection of handsome, tall and mighty soldiers to fill the lineup, but ignored their own experience and experience, and as a result, when they encountered emergencies, we made our crane tail troops a big limelight.
After all, most of my subordinates are from areas that are warm and rainy all year round, and compared with these uncles in Guangfu, who have been soaked in the blood of a comfortable life, they have already had the experience and adaptability to march in the rain.
E: The inspection team and the typhoon have gone to other counties and cities, and I can finally return to normal daily changes.
