Section 370 Sealing the Great Feichuan
When the brothers were miserable, the camp of the Tang Dynasty soldiers was jubilant!
Feng Xiaobao, the general manager of Taohe Road, wanted to seal Dafeichuan as a table of the greatest exploits of the soldiers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the front, there was the Han Dynasty and the wolf Juxu, and then the Tang Dynasty sealed the Dafeichuan!
In preparation for this great ceremony, the Tang army prepared the best clothes... Get the spare clothes to put on, if there is not much, wash the Tubo girl who caught the old clothes, and for a time the river on the Dafei River is full of clothes to dry, which is a grand view.
Sacrificing heaven and earth has its own etiquette, first of all, you have to build an altar, the so-called heaven is round place, the temple of heaven is round, and the altar of earth is square.
September 28 (lunar calendar) is an auspicious day, the eight-meter-high Temple of Heaven has been completed, divided into three layers, all over the five flags, built on the white and yellow Yue, the soldier will be sealed, then make a sacrifice. (Nine is the extreme of single digits, dare not use nine meters)
In autumn, Dafeichuan has towering snow-capped mountains, clear blue skies, brilliant sunshine, fresh air and verdant grassy slopes.
Hordes of Tang troops are waiting in formation!
The densely packed troops, the banner hunting, were the meritorious troops who participated in the Battle of Dafeichuan, and now they are holding their heads high and waiting for their general's review.
The Tang Army's 250,000 troops and 100,000 people attacked, 120,000 dead and wounded, 60,000 people died, and the final result was that 80,000 were killed in battle, 20,000 were seriously disabled and had to be retired, and another 20,000 wounded could return to the team, and they are currently recuperating from their wounds.
In order to prepare for this ceremony, the military attack except for the 10,000 cavalry led by Heiya Changzhi to sweep the West Sea, the rest of the army and generals have returned to participate in this grand sacrifice.
A total of 120,000 troops participated in the ceremony, and those who did not participate would not be unhappy, because Feng Xiaobao announced that all soldiers who participated in the war would receive a bronze medal, and those who made meritorious contributions would receive another silver medal, and those who made great contributions would receive a gold medal... These are all paid by the imperial court, plus other rewards, so the head of the household department Guo Zhiju has enough headaches.
Before worshipping the heavens, Feng Xiaobao and all the officers fasted for one day (generally three days, but Feng Congjian did).
When saluting, it is required to be pious and purifying, not to be late or leave early, not to be cross-talked, not to walk around and make noise, etc., otherwise, once violated, the commemorative medal will be cancelled.
……
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the army was arrayed, each phalanx was in a formation of 500 people, and there were 240 phalanxes of 120,000 people, like a sea of steel soldiers, and the center of the circle was the Temple of Heaven.
Feng Xiaobao was wearing a freshly baked armor that had just been changed, this was a set of metal full-body armor, composed of Mingguang armor full of gold leaf, golden patterns, black trim, bringing out a bright red silk shawl with a sword, luxurious and comfortable, beautiful and generous, full of layers.
Facing the sun, that's the golden armor!
The horse under his crotch is not a movie royal horse, with a sword at his waist, galloping all the way to the Temple of Heaven, ready to "take place"
Originally, according to his wishes, the generals were selected to go to the Temple of Heaven. Because the war was not fought by him alone, everyone shared this glory together!
All the officers, in unison, refused!
It is said that such etiquette will be left to you, the chief manager.
In the final analysis, they are also afraid, only the Son of Heaven can sacrifice to the sky, Feng Xiaobao imitates the wolf Juxu, maybe he is fine, others and so on, it is difficult to guarantee that the imperial court will settle accounts after the autumn.
Feng Xiaobao rode a white horse and drove past in front of the army.
played the interaction that everyone in the heavens/dynasties is familiar with:
Feng Xiaobao shouted: "Hello soldiers! ”
The soldiers responded: "Good manager! ”
"The soldiers have worked hard!"
"Fight for Datang!"
This kind of interaction was taught to them by Feng Xiaobao, and everyone felt that it was quite fresh.
Feng Xiaobao spoke all the way, and the soldiers responded one after another, until he arrived at the Temple of Heaven, where the generals were waiting for him, all dressed in fresh armor and in good spirits.
The military flag flutters, and the soldiers are like a forest.
According to the formal sacrificial etiquette, there should be Gang copper, Bingshun, flags, buildings, palace fans, umbrella covers and other ritual utensils, but Feng Xiaobao does not use any sacrificial rites, only about flags and weapons.
Drum music is indispensable, and Feng Xiaobao's troops have a first-class military band, which comes in handy.
The honor of ceremonial officer was given to the chief of staff, Jing Dongling, who was responsible for organizing the process of worshipping the heavens.
"The Grand Steward, please!"
In an instant, military music played in unison, and 10,000 people sang "Loyal to the Country"!
Everyone who heard it was enthusiastic, and Feng Xiaobao held his sword and held his head high on the altar!
Passing by the first floor, the people who were established were the officers and soldiers who had made great contributions to the army, such as Shi Wanchao, Shi Duo of Feng Xiaobao's team, Chu Jiulang, Mi Wulang, etc.
On the second level, there were his generals, Li Jinxing, Liu Xianli, Yang Chengxian, Wang Xiaojie, Cheng Boxi, Qi Mingming, etc., Feng Xiaobao stopped for a moment and greeted them.
Winning this battle has a far-reaching impact, and with these victorious generals as the foundation, the three generations of generals of the Tang Army are about to rise, and the nightmare of people of all ethnic groups is coming.
On the third floor, there are three imperial treasures: the holy decree and the sword of the gold medal monk who came to me in person.
He eventually made it to the top.
The four fields are unobstructed, the sky is blue, the ground is boundless, and the following legions are densely organized, and everyone is watching!
At that moment, I was quite heroic in "the earth is under my feet, the army is in my hands, and I surrender to the strong chieftain Tubo"!
There are incense tables and incense burners on the stage, but there is no god main card.
A sturdy yak was pulled out from the audience, a Tubo man from the Dafei River and a tall snow-white Dawan horse... Capture the war horse of Qinling!
There is nothing cooler than killing Qinling's war horse to give a gift.
Killing horses and slaughtering cows, Shi Wanchao was honored to get this honor.
He took out a large knife, raised it in his hand, and cut off the horse's head.
Then he used another big knife and slaughtered the cow too!
It's neat and neat, and everyone shouts hello.
Shi Wanchao secretly screamed ashamed, for these two knives, he went to the logistics slaughterhouse to practice every day, responsible for slaughtering live cattle and horses, so that he could be as smooth as he was today.
Then put on the incense, Feng Xiaobao put on the nine-pillar incense, and inserted it into the incense burner after sincerely praying.
And the slain oxen and horses were sacrificed to the altar, and then wine was offered.
After that, it was time to recite the sacrificial text, and Feng Xiaobao personally recited the sacrificial text, which was to the effect: "...... The Tang Dynasty and Tubo were originally the country of nephews and uncles, and they should have lived in harmony, but Tubo was tyrannical, infringed on the Tang Dynasty, and brought disaster to the country and the people! Today, according to the decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, with the help of the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, there is Feng Xiaobao, who is the general manager of Taohe Road, and leads Liu Xianli, Li Jinxing, Yang Chengxian, Tang Tian, Wang Xiaojie, Qi Biming, Wei Zhi, Cheng Boxi, Wei Zhi, Wang Gao, Cao Huaishun, Heizhi Changzhi, Fan Wuxian, Jing Dongling, Lou Shide and other generals (this section is the longest), and Tubo fought in Dafeichuan, achieved great causes, and beheaded 350,000 Tubo people! Build immortal honors, establish immortal causes......"
After reading the memorial text, it is a military parade.
The mighty divisions and meritorious men who participated in the war of the Tang Dynasty passed through the Temple of Heaven in turn, please review the heavens!
A team of people and horses, passing by the Temple of Heaven, they either sang "Loyal to the Country" or chanted Datang Wansheng, the atmosphere was warm, wave after wave.
The real ritual of sacrificing to the heavens is cumbersome, there are "welcoming the emperor god, laying jade silk, entering the ceremony, offering the first gift, offering the sub-ceremony, offering the end of the line, withdrawing the food, sending the emperor god, looking at the fire", etc., the time is quite long.
And Feng Xiaobao's ceremony of worshiping the heavens is greatly simplified, mainly to avoid suspicion, and its purpose is only to report to the sky the achievements of the Tang army!
He had to do this, otherwise after the class master returned to the dynasty, the bullets of the imperial historians would drown him!
After the sacrifice, the army held a big food party, eating and drinking, to celebrate. (To be continued.) )
