This is a large camp that Zhu Jian assigned to Lu Xiangsheng specifically for the formation of the Dragon and Tiger Legion.
However, it is said that since the battle of the Beijing Division, although the Dragon and Tiger Legion has been somewhat damaged, but under the personal care of the emperor, the Dragon and Tiger Legion has now expanded to more than 10,000 people, and according to Zhu Jian's previous regulations, it is a team of four brigades. [Dragon and Tiger Legion Formation: Twenty people are a team, five teams are a company, five companies are a battalion, five battalions are a brigade, five brigades are a division, and five divisions are an army] and these sergeants supplied by the Dragon and Tiger Legion, in addition to the sergeants selected from the three battalions, Lu Xiangsheng is widely recruited in Shuntian Bafu, but anyone who is willing to fight for the Ming Empire and does not have any bad habits can enlist.
Of course, all this was naturally approved by Zhu Jian, and the daily training of the Dragon and Tiger Legion was also formulated by Zhu Jian according to the training of the German army in his previous life.
However, at this moment, Zhu Jian personally led the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to the military parade from the noon gate, but he was wearing a set of costumes similar to the costumes of the Dragon and Tiger Legion.
It's just that the color of the clothes has been changed to dark black, and the hat is a German-style large-brimmed hat decorated with a yellow ribbon, and the epaulettes of this suit are engraved with four small stars around the sun, which symbolizes imperial power, and the four small stars represent the four major classes of the imperial scholars, farmers, and business, closely surrounding the emperor, which is the highest military rank in the entire Ming Empire.
The President of the Imperial Army, Shuai!
Of course, in addition to Zhu Jian's dress, there were also Yang Sichang, Marquis of Wuling, Zhongyi Bo Hong Chengchou, Yang Weibo Shi Kefa, etc., but all the ministers who participated in the deliberations of that day were dressed in this way, but compared to Zhu Jian, although their clothes were tied with collar flowers, corsages, epaulettes, badges, and armbands, the epaulettes were surrounded by four stars.
This is not the standard military uniform of the Ming Imperial Army, but the dress of the Imperial Army!
Zhu Jian and everyone dressed up like this, firstly, not to let themselves stand in isolation, and secondly, it was a special honor with them, to put it bluntly, it means that Zhu Jian regarded them as people in his inner circle.
This kind of dress is the first time for Qian Longxi to wear, although Qian Longxi does not reject such new things, but he has been wearing a Daming robe for a long time, and he always feels a little uncomfortable wearing such a seemingly bearded clothes, but not very similar clothes.
Moreover, in the eyes of the courtiers, Qian Longxi, who was dressed in this dress, became the object of much discussion, just because Yang Sichang and others got closer to the emperor, and Qian Longxi fell behind, so he naturally became the object of everyone's discussion.
It's just that in the mouths of the courtiers, this praise is more than rejection, after all, the emperor is wearing such clothes, these courtiers are too late to envy this set of clothes, the most important thing is that once this set of clothes is put on, and then the belt is slimmed, this waist pole is straight, that person is indeed a lot of spirit.
"Brother Qian, today's dress is making me envious!"
"Yes, Brother Qian, can you also get some of these clothes with me?"
In the face of everyone's discussions, Qian Longxi's face was a little embarrassed, but when the courtiers asked where there was such a clothing business, Qian Longxi's face changed greatly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't do this thought, Your Majesty has a will, this thing is a reward from the empire, just like a bullfight and a flying fish, if someone is private, it should be killed."
Hearing Qian Longxi's words, everyone couldn't help but stretch their necks back, after all, Qian Longxi, as a cabinet minister, didn't need to lie to them.
In fact, Qian Longxi really didn't lie to them, military supplies are related to the safety of the empire, how can they be easily imitated, if not, wouldn't it be a mess of discipline!
And in the face of the gloomy sadness in the eyes of everyone, Qian Longxi spoke out.
"Don't be like this, this thing is like flying fish and bullfighting, and if it is beneficial to the country, Your Majesty will not be stingy if it wants to."
Hearing this again, the ministers who were a little disappointed just now had a bright light in their eyes.
However, he said that Zhu Jian led the ministers all the way, but after a short time, he had already arrived at the Dragon and Tiger Army station.
At this moment, Yixingbo and Zhaoyong General Lu Xiangsheng had already led the officers of the Dragon and Tiger Army to wait outside the gate.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Seeing the arrival of the emperor, Lu Xiangsheng led everyone to bow down.
At this moment, Zhu Jian stepped forward and helped him up.
"Jiandou, how many times have I told you, just do that military salute in the army, don't do this bow salute again, you say, how many times have I told you."
Although it is criticism, but in the ears of the ministers, it is clear that it is extremely loving.
"Jiandou, how are you preparing?"
"Back to Your Majesty, everything is ready to stop, the high platform has been built, just wait for Your Majesty to start reviewing!"
"Oh, lead the way!"
However, it was said that Lu Xiangsheng brought Zhu Jian and his entourage into the school field, and along the way, the momentum of the soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army who lined up in front of them made the courtiers praise them one by one.
"Let's go!"
Ascending the high platform, with Zhu Jian's affairs, Lu Xiangsheng on the side waved the handsome flag, followed by a burst of magnificent horns, and then the Dragon and Tiger Military Band troops who had been preparing for a long time began to sing the Dragon and Tiger Legion Song "Dragon and Tiger Xing"!
The Dragon and Tiger Legion had a military band but Zhu Jian proposed it, to talk about the history of the military band, in fact, the Ottoman Turkish Empire existed as early as the beginning of the thirteenth century, although the ancient Chinese army had the tradition of beating drums and cheering for the war, but such a systematic military band was the first time for the empire.
The wind and clouds are rising, the mountains and rivers are moving, the dragon and tiger army is strong, and the strong men of the Ming Dynasty are loyal.
Jin Ge Iron Horse, a hundred battles on the battlefield, and a pioneer inside and outside.
Crisscrossing the battlefield, reviving China, invincible, and making great contributions.
The flag is shining, the golden drum is sounding, the dragon and tiger are majestic, and the loyal and lean army is honored.
Treat each other with all sincerity, unite and strive for self-improvement, destroy the enemy, repay the emperor's kindness, and defend the country!
......
Accompanied by bursts of majestic and impassioned Dragon and Tiger Legion songs, some ministers who have been stumbling for years are actually flooding with waves in their hearts.
When did they have the ambition to save the country and the people!
And with the end of the Legion Band's singing, the parade officially began. More than 3,000 people participated in the parade, but it included the three major arms of the Dragon and Tiger Regiment.
Infantry, cavalry, artillery.
Of course, in addition to the three main battle arms, there are also chariots, shields, mine-laying and other arms.
And the head of the attack was Zhang Tongchang, the commander of the cavalry brigade of the Dragon and Tiger Legion, and there were more than 10,000 people in the Dragon and Tiger Legion, but it was a cavalry unit of about one brigade.
"Raise your sword, salute!"
At this time, with Zhang Tongchang's order, all the cavalry pulled out the cavalry knives at their waists, erected them on their chests, and performed the cavalry salute.
Facing the rows of neat and powerful cavalry troops, some ministers were even more surprised, after all, such a mighty army had not been seen for many years, even the Qi family army and the Li family army could not put on such a formation! What's more, these are still iron-blooded armies that have proven their extraordinary combat power to the world with actual combat!
"Zhang Tongchang, commander of the Dragon and Tiger Legion Cavalry Brigade, leads the cavalry troops of the Dragon and Tiger Legion, please review it Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Zhu Jian said.
"Soldiers of the Empire, you have worked hard, I am proud of you, the Empire is proud of you!"
"We are willing to swear allegiance to Your Majesty!"
What followed was a tsunami-like frenzy, that is, even Zhu Jian was a little infected.
