Chapter 141: Governors of the Five Provinces (6)
Zhao Kang was so troubled by Qin Liangyu that he was in no mood at all, and announced the dissolution of the banquet, and went back to his own camp and found his own mother.
In addition, after the reorganization, the army will still have to undergo modern training and brainwashing, and it will learn to use the new equipment that Zhao Kang brought from modern society or produced by the Yulin Iron and Steel Plant, plus the training of officers at all levels, and by the time the army of more than 200,000 troops is completely reorganized, it is almost the end of the year.
However, this half year has not been in vain, plus the recruitment during this period, Zhao Kang has Daniel Zhang, Zhao Liangdong, Wang Fuchen, Wang Pingfan, Zhou Yuji, Gan Quan, Wang Yongsheng, Ma Yi, Zheng Jiadong, Niu Chenghu, Zhao Guangyuan, Hu Dawei, Yang Dezheng, Fang Guoan, Jiang Jiu, Chen Yongfu plus Qin Liangyu a total of 17 town chief officers, plus a town guard battalion and two towns under Temur and Abunai Mongolian Tu Eighth Road, the entire Eighth Route Army has more than 220,000 troops, This does not include local armed police forces and militias under the direct jurisdiction of the governors of the provinces. However, except for Daniel Zhang, Zhao Liangdong, Wang Fuchen, Wang Pingfan, Zhou Yuji, Gan Quan, Wang Yongsheng, and the eight units of his own guard battalion, which are fully mechanized and modernized, the other troops are all cold weapons armed with modern stab-proof suits. Of course, each warrior was also equipped with a Mongol war horse. Zhao Kang didn't require everyone to be cavalry, but it was also good to use these horses as mobile transports for infantry.
Despite this, in the eyes of the generals, these cold weapon troops under Zhao Kang can be regarded as armed from the top of their heads to the hearts of their feet.
At this time, Zhao Kang's vanguard officer Qin Liangyu had already led his white pole soldiers into Henan, of course, that little force failed to recover Luoyang, not far out of Tongguan Qin Liangyu encountered Li Zicheng's general Liu Fangliang's troops, Qin Liangyu's troops were well-equipped, but Liu Fangliang's men were numerous, and there were several fierce battles, each with casualties. At this time, Li Zicheng's army was sweeping through the east and south of Henan, and he had not yet freed up his hands to clean up the troops coming from Shaanxi. Although Qin Liangyu knew that he was in danger, he was afraid that he would be attacked by Zhao Kang when he returned to Shaanxi, so he could only confront Liu Fangliang on the front line of Michi.
Of course, Zhao Kang would not sit idly by and watch Qin Liangyu be surrounded and annihilated, but he decided on a whim to follow the example of the country's leaders and hold a grand military parade. First, show off your martial arts to the people under your rule, and make the people believe that they are strong enough to protect them. Second, to raise their prestige, to the ill-intentioned Xiaoxiao and the rogue who are rampant in the Central Plains, let them know that the Great Governor Zhao is ready to quell the civil strife by force, and they are just grasshoppers after the autumn, and they will not be able to jump for long.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, it is the day when the people drink Laba porridge. But today's Xi'an City is different, the whole city is under martial law, and all horses and livestock are not allowed to enter the city. The people who lived in the city and the people who came from other places were all gathered in the square in front of the bell and drum tower and the surrounding streets by fierce officers and soldiers, ready to watch this grand military parade.
All the buildings in Xi'an City have been painted with big-character posters: "Cherish life, stay away from thieves", "Thinking about Lord Zhao, all for Lord Zhao!" "Born as Zhao Da's life, death as Zhao's death", "The sea sails by the helmsman, and the rehabilitation of thieves depends on Zhao's thoughts", "Loyal to Zhao, Zhao is our father, if anyone dares to say that Zhao is not good, immediately call him to see Hades", "Zhao, Zhao!" The soldiers of the five provinces miss you! "All anti-thieves are paper tigers, which look scary, but in fact, they can be broken when they are stabbed! "I'd rather have a grass from Lord Zhao than a seedling from the two thieves of Zhang and Li!" "Down with Li Zicheng, down with Zhang Xianzhong, down with all reactionaries!" "The east wind blows, the war drums beat, who is afraid of whom in this world? It's not that the people are afraid of the thief, but that the thief is afraid of the people. "Long live Lord Zhao, long live, long live, long live!" ”...... Even the air is filled with a strong smell of cultural big XX......
Zhao Kang felt that he was very wronged, in fact, these big-character posters, slogans, and slogans were not written by himself, but were all spontaneously created by those crazy fans. However, after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Kang still felt quite relieved, after all, this kind of behavior still shows that he is deeply loved by the people under his rule.
From before dawn, the unique music of tweeters sounded over Xi'an City: "We are soldiers", "The sun is the reddest and the most dear to Zhao", "Dongfang Hong", "I love Xi'an Bell and Drum Tower (I love Beijing Tiananmen)...... The brainwashing divine comedy was played in turn, resounding throughout Xi'an City.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the Divine Comedy, which made people want to vomit, finally stopped playing, and the neatly arranged troops stood on the street to the left of the Bell and Drum Tower Square, and a temporary fence was placed behind the army, and outside the fence was full of people who had come to see the excitement.
As the music stopped, everyone's eyes were focused on one place: the gate of the Overseer's Mansion! In front of everyone's eyes, I saw Zhao Kang slowly driving out of the governor's yamen in a convertible Range Rover Evoque under the strict protection of the guards. Zhao Kang, dressed in a crimson official robe and wearing a black gauze hat on his head, stood on the car, holding the handrail specially welded to the car with his left hand, and doing a famous Nazi salute of Hitler with his right hand. Although this official uniform is slightly awkward with this gesture, it does not affect the enthusiasm of the onlookers. Almost everyone present invariably learned from Zhao Kang to make this gesture. In the originally quiet crowd, I don't know who shouted: "Long live Lord Zhao!" ”
The entire parade ground immediately became a sensation! The fanatical crowd shouted in unison, "Long live Lord Zhao!" Long live Lord Zhao! ”...... Zhentian's slogan does not seem to extinguish the enthusiasm of the people who eat melons, the crowd is a little out of control in the direction of Zhao Kang, Zhao Kang almost broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately the armed police who maintain the law and order at the scene stopped the madness of the people in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Of course, what Zhao Kang didn't know was that in these fanatical crowds, a pair of eyes full of hatred were staring at him tightly......
The car did not stop, and continued to move forward slowly and at a constant speed, until it reached the beginning of the review of the army. At this time, another open-top Land Rover off-road vehicle also slowly drove in the direction of Zhao Kang. The person standing in the car was none other than You Wanxiong, one of Zhao Kang's henchmen.
I saw You Wanxiong's car drive to a distance of about ten meters in front of Zhao Kang and stopped, stood on the car and gave a military salute to Zhao Kang, and said loudly: "All the troops have been assembled, please review the Inspector!" ”
