Chapter 5 The Black Ox and the White Horse, the Alliance of the Outside of Cyprus
The military parade is a way to declare the strength of the country and enhance the cohesion of the nation, and it is also an important means to expand the influence of the country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the large-scale military parade is suspected of extravagance and waste, but weighing one or two, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, not to mention, there is a precedent for the military parade of the Ming Empire.
March of the 19th year of Yongle.
The military parade officially began in Huailai, north of Beijing, a total of 100,000 troops, at that time Ming Chengzu Zhu Di carefully selected five military battalions, three thousand battalions, and the elite of the Shenji battalion successively performed the Ming cavalry outflanking, infantry assault, infantry and cavalry combined attack and other items, and from Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan transferred from the local Tusi coyote soldiers, white pole soldiers practiced infantry crossbow salvo, spear infantry assassination training, etc., large-scale military parade lasted a whole month.
In history, its military appearance is neat, the pace is the same, the armor is bright, and the envoys of various countries are shocked.
Of course, Zhu Jian's presentation to Lin Dan Khan's envoys could not have the same momentum as back then, one economy did not allow it, and the other was not so necessary, after all, this was just a short foreplay.
Three days later, he will make an alliance with Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department, and at that time, Zhu Jianxiang will invite the Korean Mission, the Mongolian Mission, the Tokugawa Shogunate Envoy, the Ryukyu Mission, the Annam Kingdom, the Chenla Kingdom, the Siam Kingdom, the Champa Kingdom, and the Sumatra Kingdom......
As well as the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and even the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the British Stuart dynasty, and so on.
When the time comes, it will be the best time to gather together and show the majesty of the Ming Empire!
Of course, in addition to the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, whether those Western countries can come, but it is also unknown, although the Age of Discovery has come, but the European mainland is far away from the Ming Empire after all.
As for why Zhu Jian still sent messengers, his purpose was threefold, one was to show that the Eastern Empire was not so slaughtered, so as to curb the colonization of the surrounding Ming Empire by Western countries to a certain extent, and the second was that the European Renaissance had risen, and Zhu Jian figured it out that he wanted to introduce a west wind to blow the rotten atmosphere that was silent in the empire.
Third, and most importantly, the Ming Empire traded overseas, and the maritime trade flourished in recent years, which inevitably clashed with these colonial countries. Submitting his credentials, Zhu Jianyi was for the benefit of the subjects of the empire, and secondly, he communicated with each other to facilitate the further development of maritime trade.
However, despite the petty fight, Zhu Jian still used the Xuanfu cavalry and the Guanning iron cavalry to outflank the joint outflanking, the light cavalry charge of the Red Courage Regiment, the horse fire gun performance, the Dragon and Tiger Army infantry shooting drill, and so on.
But all this was enough to shock those who were used to seeing cold weapons fighting, so they waited until they said goodbye to Zhu Jian, and they rushed back to Lin Dan Khan's station overnight.
"Great Khan!"
When the tent was opened, he quickly bowed and saluted.
In the tent here, there was only Lin Dan Khan, and seeing that it was coming quickly, Lin Dan Khan hurriedly asked.
"Quick, have you seen the Ming Emperor here?"
In the face of Lin Dan Khan's question, Ye Su could also guess the reason, after all, Ye Su had been by Lin Dan Khan's side for a long time, but Ye Su knew that although Lin Dan Khan had been mixed on the grassland over the years, it was the wind and water, but after all, it was by signing an alliance with the Ming Empire that he could restore Khan City and become the overlord of the grassland again.
If it weren't for this, I was afraid that Lin Dan Khan would have died in a foreign land, how could he have today's glory, so to a certain extent, Lin Dan Khan still had some scruples about the strength of the Ming Empire, especially the Chongzhen Emperor, who was called the son of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty.
And it is precisely because of this understanding that he has already thought about it in his heart.
"The Great Khan, who did not disgrace his mission, met the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
"What is the appearance of the Ming Emperor?"
Although he had concluded an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, it was Shi Kefa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Empire, who signed it with the Mongolian Oktowumu on that day, so Lin Dan Khan had never met with Zhu Jian.
"The Great Khan, the genius of the Ming Emperor, has the air of a king, but compared to the Great Khan, he is a little more green and less steady."
The world understands that Emperor Chongzhen is much smaller than Lin Dan Khan, but Yesu's words are also biased.
Zhu Jian has experienced hundreds of years of vicissitudes from the future, how can he be younger than Lin Dan Khan, if you want to elaborate, it is also the unintimidating anger in the spring breeze.
But if Lin Dan Khan likes it, that's enough.
"The emperor who grew up in the palace of him, although he is a genius, but this is a wheel experience, how can he have such ability as Ben Khan, well, and quickly, the Ming Emperor has something to transfer you to Ben Khan!"
Regarding what Lin Dan Khan said, he shook his head.
"Before leaving, the Ming Emperor just asked his ministers to tell the Great Khan, saying that three days later, Mulan would be in the paddock, and he hoped that the Great Khan would go to the appointment on time!"
"Oh."
Hearing this, Lin Danhan frowned slightly.
If you want to say that the steppe people have the inferiority of the steppe people, you must know the ancestors of Lin Dan Khan, who have been crisscrossing the grassland for countless years, and for hundreds of years, they often went south to plunder, becoming the border trouble of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty also set up nine sides.
Therefore, the wealth of the Ming Dynasty had a strong attraction to the Mongols, and the tea and horse exchange with the Ming Dynasty can also be said to be a key point of contention among the Mongolian tribes.
The things in Lin Dan Khan's mouth here are also the real money, porcelain and silk from the Ming Dynasty.
Three years ago, Lin Dan Khan was forced to go away to the right wing by Huang Taiji, in such a depressed environment, the Ming Dynasty made an alliance with you, and gave two buckets of white marble walls, ten catties of gold, and countless porcelain.
Today, the Ming Dynasty has once again concluded an alliance with it to discuss the siege of Houjin outside the Shanhai Pass, and the Ming Emperor has not expressed the slightest expression.
However, although Lin Dan Khan was unhappy at this time, he did not have an immediate attack.
"Okay, let's go all the way, go down and rest first."
As for what his own Great Khan said, he did not say goodbye, and stood in place to speak.
"Oh, too, but still have doubts?"
"The Great Khan, there is a thing, but the minister has to hand it over to the Great Khan."
In Lin Danhan's doubts, he quickly took out a scroll from his sleeve robe and handed it forward.
"This is?!"
When the pawnshop opened, everything that caught his eye made Lin Danhan a little dumbfounded, but this thing was the scene on the parade ground that day, and the painter quickly drew the parade scene.
On the screen, the Ming army was full of energy, but between the eyebrows, there were magnificent weapons, especially the huge firearms displayed by the Ming Empire, which made Lin Dan Khan unconsciously break into a cold sweat.
The Ming army is so powerful!
At this moment, Lin Dan Khan was deeply shocked, and the elders passed it on orally, saying that hundreds of years ago, the Ming army also had a situation where four Yi came to the dynasty, and he never thought that he could get a glimpse of the leopard from this picture scroll today.
The Ming army is invincible!
"The Ming envoy has arrived!"
However, just when Lin Dan Khan was still in endless surprise, a report suddenly came from outside the tent, saying that the Ming Dynasty had sent envoys.
