Chapter 142: Governors of the Five Provinces (7)
Zhao Kang also returned a military salute to You Wanxiong, and then loudly announced: "The Xi'an military parade has officially started now!" ”
You Wanxiong replied loudly: "Do as your lord commands!" After speaking, he drove the car to the back of Zhao Kang's car and followed Zhao Kang to review the troops.
Zhao Fugui, 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 Hao, Chen Yongfu, Tebul, and Abnai were already neatly lined up on the street waiting for Zhao Kang's review.
Every time the open-top Land Rover off-road vehicle under Zhao Kang's seat walked through a phalanx, Zhao Kang greeted the soldiers loudly through the megaphone: "The soldiers have worked hard!" ”
The soldiers below who had already rehearsed also straightened their waists and replied in unison: "Serve Lord Zhao!" ”
Seeing Zhao Kang's majestic appearance, even Zhao Kang's group of wives who were watching the military parade on the upper floor of the Governor's Mansion were all silent: What are the regrets about marrying such a person as a wife and concubine? What's the grudge of death?
Even the youngest Zhang Youcheng and Meng Guqing couldn't help but sigh: "Our husband is really handsome!" ”
This is not a long distance, but the Land Rover off-road vehicle under Zhao Kang's seat drove for nearly an hour, and this time Zhao Kang finally showed his face in front of the people of Limin. After the troops completed the review, Zhao Kang drove the car back under the bell tower.
After getting out of the car, Zhao Kang walked up to the bell tower with Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, Lin Rirui, the governor of Gansu, Wang Han, the governor of Henan, Cai Maode, the governor of Shanxi, Chen Ruimo, the governor of Huguang, Chen Erdian, the acting governor of Mongolia, and Li Laoguan, the acting governor of Shaanxi. Of course, it is different from usual, this military parade Zhao Kang specially invited a respected guest to participate in the military parade, he is Zhu Changhao, the Rui King of Hanzhong, Jianfu!
The reputation of the fifth son of Emperor Mingshenzong can be described as a big "rotten"! It is said that this Zhu Changhao is twenty-five years old, and he is still not yet married. The ministers all asked the emperor to complete the prince's marriage, but Mingshenzong ignored it, and Zhu Changhao asked the household department for the cost of marriage almost every day, and took 180,000 taels of silver to hide in the palace, and said that this money was not enough to buy a crown and clothes. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627) to the fiefdom of Hanzhong, Zhu Changhao was a good Buddha and was not close to women, but he loved money, in addition to the taxes paid to the imperial court, he also added taxes in various names such as salt taxes, which increased the burden on the people. The local people in Hanzhong can be said to hate him to death. The situation did not improve until Zhao Kang took charge of Shaanxi.
But for Zhao Kang, it doesn't matter how bad he is, the important thing is that his surname is "Zhu", and he also has Zhu Yuanzhang's blood, which is enough.
Ruiwang Zhu Changhao was also overjoyed when he first received Zhao Kang's invitation, he was not a fool, of course he could understand Zhao Kang's intentions. In this chaotic world, with the support of an absolutely powerful warlord like Zhao Kang, maybe one day he will be able to rise to prominence! After all, compared with the two positions of the prince and the emperor, even a fool's pen can understand which one is better.
Therefore, although the Ming Law explicitly forbade local officials to collude with the emperor's relatives, Zhu Changhao still rushed to Xi'an without hesitation. This ban is a piece of waste paper in this era. Seeing that the Fu King was in trouble, he still lived in Ma Shiying's house...... Who dares to fart? Not to mention a place like Shaanxi, where the emperor is far away.
When Zhao Kang first saw Zhu Changhao, a bad old man with an obscene and evil face, his heart was full of a sense of superiority: Nima, I finally found someone uglier than labor and management. Although the corner of the old man's eyes always glanced at the chest and buttocks of the courtesans and maikos in the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Kang didn't care at all, he liked this kind of person. After all, this kind of carnivore that never looks at women and never looks at their faces is generally not overwhelmed and is easy to control.
In order to show his respect for Zhu Changhao, the prince, Zhao Kang made a special trip today to invite him to climb the bell tower with him to participate in the military parade.
The next hour and a half was the speech time of Zhao Kang, the absolute leader of the five central and western provinces of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the speech time of the governors of the provinces and Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui. Zhao Kang's feces were swollen, his urine was swollen, his farts were swollen, and his mouth was dry, and the officers and soldiers upstairs and downstairs were drowsy, and Zhao Kang announced the official start of the military parade.
The loudspeaker installed on the drum tower finally came the sweet voice that everyone dreamed of: "The parade has officially begun, and now the national flag is raised and the military song is played!" Then a pleasant sound of music sounded from the loudspeaker: What is the difference between us soldiers and soldiers......
Thirty-two mighty soldiers dressed in SS uniforms walked neatly and carried the sun and moon flag on a blue background to a 15-meter-high flagpole standing next to the bell tower, and slowly raised the national flag with the sound of music. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Kang's personal guard battalion led by Zhao Fugui appeared.
I only heard the sweet female voice on the radio introduce:
"Now the troops coming towards you are our most beloved Governor of the Five Provinces, the Governor of the Auxiliary Division, and the personal guard battalion of Lord Zhao of Yulinbo, the leader of this force is General Zhao Fugui, Lord Zhao's most trusted, he is mainly responsible for protecting Lord Zhao's safety, and all of them are the best, strongest and most loyal soldiers selected from various towns. Their equipment and clothing are also different from other troops, they are wearing gray special uniforms for the guard battalion (refer to SS clothing), and the weapons in their hands are the most advanced Type 56 submachine guns (domestic version of AK47) in the world, and the battalion has more than 100 Type 59 tanks, more than 500 armored combat vehicles, more than 100 130mm caliber cannons, more than 500 Dongfeng Tianlong transport vehicles, and more than 200 Dongfeng pickup off-road combat vehicles......"
......
The next to enter everyone's attention is the officers and soldiers of the First Town of the Eighth Route Army under Daniel Zhang and General Soldier, this unit once followed Lord Zhao to fight in the south and north, swept through Mongolia, and achieved brilliant results, this army with loaders, transport vehicles, Dongfeng leather step off-road combat vehicles, Dongfeng Tianlong transport vehicles and 130mm caliber cannons as the main battle weapons, is the first sharp knife under Lord Zhao. The chief military officer, Daniel Zhang Lord Zhang, once said that he and the first town of the Eighth Route Army are the eagle dogs at the feet of Lord Zhao, and where Lord Zhao's hand is pointing, General Zhang will pounce on it with the officers and soldiers of the first town of the Eighth Route Army......
......
Now what appears in front of everyone is the officers and soldiers of the Second Town of the Eighth Route Army under the command of Gan Quangan, this unit is the starting force of our beloved Lord Zhao, and it is a strong force that Lord Zhao personally formed and reused when he was in Fugu County. It is the second sharp knife under the command of Lord Zhao. General Chen Erdian, the former commander-in-chief, has now been promoted to the acting governor of Mongolia, but everyone believes that this army, which has the deepest feelings with Lord Zhao, will create another glory under the leadership of General Gan!
