Chapter 185: Military parade, banquet for the elderly
"Columnar!"
"Let's go!"
Zhang Zhun shouted in a deep voice.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
The first team is the first detachment of the Third Association, the first team to be equipped with the Tiger Ben.
Under the leadership of Zhang Lingyun, the new team leader, the 50 soldiers of the squad, plus officers at all levels (1 team leader, 1 team deputy, 5 gang commanders, and 5 captains), a total of 62 people, just arranged in a 12 by 5 solid phalanx. There are also two standard-bearers, who are responsible for holding the military flag of the escort team and the flag of Shengxia Sect at the forefront.
There is no doubt that when they first started the action, they endured too much attention. In particular, the two standard-bearers are even more eye-catching. The bright red flag, under the reflection of the sun, is particularly eye-catching. There was just a gust of breeze blowing, and the general's flag and the sect's flag were blown up, and the six-pointed star and torches on it were clearly reflected in the audience's eyes. All the audience couldn't help but have an illusion, as if they felt that the people behind the red flag were invincible. No one is their opponent, no one can beat them. It's a mighty force, a mighty and indestructible force. This is a very mysterious feeling, which can only be understood and cannot be expressed, but everyone present has deeply felt it.
Shen Lingfei's face was also a little stiff, and she felt that she was deeply shocked. Over the years, she has been to a lot of places. The more I have seen, the stronger my feelings are. As the saying goes, if you don't see the blame, the blame is self-defeating. Basically, it can be said that ordinary things are impossible to attract her attention, let alone arouse her inner touch. But today, here, she was really touched. She suddenly found that when she came to Fushan, even if she couldn't do business, it would not be in vain. Here, she discovers a group of beings who are completely different from the others. The leader of this group of people is none other than Zhang Zhun.
"Zhengbu!"
"Let's go!"
When the first white line was reached, Zhang Lingyun ordered loudly.
"Smack!"
Hearing this, the fighters immediately took the tiger gun off their shoulders and changed it to a side gun. The tiger is diagonally upward, horizontal on the left side of the body. Sharp bayonets, less than ten centimeters away from the fighters in front. At the same time, their pace has also changed to a positive step. The footboard is raised high, and every time the footboard falls, it makes a snapping sound.
"Bang Bang!"
The crowd of onlookers couldn't help but applaud.
There are no words to describe how they feel at this moment.
Excited, shocked, shocked...... Such words, at this time, all seem pale and weak.
Countless people believe that this is the most shocking scene they have ever seen in their lives, the flashing knife light, the neat pace, so shocking that they will remember even in the last moments of their death. Their gaze involuntarily followed the movement of the square team step by step, until they reached the second white line and the positive steps returned to normal steps.
"Ready!"
"Let's go!"
The first team led by Zhang Lingyun had just passed, and the second team led by Fang He had just passed.
The sailor detachment was the highlight of the parade. The reason is very simple. They are the youngest team, young enough to be formed in less than ten days. Originally, Zhang Zhun was not going to let the sailors detachment participate in the parade, and they did not have enough time to train to walk in the right step. However, the young men of the water army were very competitive, and in two or three days, they took a good step. After reading it, Zhang Zhun agreed to their request and ranked them in second and third place as a sign of encouragement.
After Fang He's team, it was Liu Dong's team. At this military parade, the infantry army is the big brother, and the second and third teams are all water troops, and the water army can be regarded as completely showing its face. From the fourth onwards, it was again an all-in-one infantry military team. Peng Bo, Zhang Youcai, Liu Chenzi, Xu Ziwen, Zhang Yatie, Wu Xinshui, Zou Mingjia, Wu Qingliang and other teams led their teams one after another, and walked the distance of 30 zhang in the eyes of thousands of people.
"Bang Bang!"
The majestic sound of Zhengbu makes everyone have an endless aftertaste.
Both the onlookers and the soldiers themselves felt a strong force in this parade. I believe that for a long time to come, this military parade will be a conversation after dinner. Moreover, every detail of this military parade will spread to farther areas with the departure of those who have a heart. I believe that it will not be long before the powerful power displayed in the military parade will reach the ears of some well-intentioned people.
In the surrounding audience, the military households of Fushan are only part of it. There are also a considerable number of merchants who travel between Fushan City and other regions. Others, purely other forces, are spies stationed in Fushan City. It is said that the eyes of businessmen are the most vicious, and I believe that after watching this military parade, they will definitely have a more accurate position on the strength of Fushan City. They will make new and wiser choices based on this new positioning. As for those spies, I believe they will also cautiously advise their masters not to come to Fushan City lightly.
Zhang Zhun held this military parade to show his armed forces. He wants to let people with a heart see that the escort team of Fushan is an indestructible armed force. Whoever wants to make trouble will have to pay a heavy price. Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become king, this sentence is true. However, blindly keeping a low profile can sometimes lead to more trouble. Show your strength properly, so that you won't have the idea of a stupid Xiaoxiao who wants to fight Fushan City.
Sisi said in a low voice: "Miss, I finally understand why they are so active in joining the army. They really ...... That's great! If they were in Jiangnan, they would definitely be praised to the sky by the Donglin scholars, but unfortunately, they were anti-thieves. ”
Shen Lingfei nodded inadvertently, and her eyes fell on Zhang Zhun on the high platform.
This Zhang Zhun really has some skills!
Although she is a woman and basically knows nothing about military knowledge, due to her family relationship, she still knows something about the Ming army. Jiangnan's Weisuo Army, to what extent [***] has reached, Shen Lingfei is still very clear. Count on those guards to have such a mental outlook, and dream about it. The Qi family army back then was said to be quite good in combat effectiveness, and successfully eliminated the Japanese invaders, but it didn't seem to have such excellent queue training!
At the same time, Shen Lingfei was also quite surprised by Zhang Zhun's armed strength. Combined with the concept of Datong society expounded by Zhang Zhun before, Shen Lingfei could judge with his heels that Zhang Zhun was definitely ambitious. Even, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as ambitious. There is a strong armed force, and there is an attractive program...... Zhang Zhun, do you really want to covet the Ninety-Five Honor and look down on the world? In the world, there is already Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng, is it necessary to add a Zhang Zhun?
"What an eventful season!"
Shen Lingfei sighed slightly in her heart.
The rebel army in Shaanxi has already turned the world upside down in Henan, and the officers and men are exhausted and cannot effectively contain it. If Zhang Zhun started an incident in Shandong again, the officers and men would be even more exhausted. The imperial court has the great trouble of Liaodong. I'm afraid it's really time for a change of dynasty. I only hope that the riot will not spread to the Jiangnan region, otherwise, the Shen family will be hit again. However, if the riots really spread to Jiangnan, then where should the Shen family go?
It's a pity that Shen Lingfei's thoughts, Zhang Zhun on the rostrum, can't feel it at all. After the parade ended, Zhang Zhun was not very satisfied. In Zhang Zhun's view, such a queue is far from meeting the requirements of the military parade in later generations. Most of the square teams, when they are walking forward, the ranks are uneven, and they look quite awkward from the rostrum. Of course, in this era, it is already quite good to have such a queue and such a mental outlook.
The mental outlook of an army often determines its combat effectiveness. A listless unit, even if it is equipped with advanced weapons, its combat effectiveness is still worrying. For example, during the First Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Naval Division was equipped with warships that were much more advanced than those of Yue himself, but the final result was the annihilation of the entire army. Such a lesson cannot but be heartbreaking. The weapons of the Ming army, compared with the Tartars in Liaodong, are much more advanced, but they always suffer defeat under the hands of the Tartars, the key reason is also because the Ming army has completely lost its self-motivation, as if it is a shroud, can only barely struggle a few times, but there is no way to stand up again.
After the parade, there were still many people who were reluctant to disperse, especially the elderly. They also gathered together in twos and threes, reminiscing about the sonorous and powerful steps and the shining bayonets just now. Especially those old people who have been to Liaodong and fought with Tartars, they are even more emotional. If such an elite appears in Liaodong, where will the Tartars have a chance to protrude? It's a pity that such an elite only appears in Fushansu, which is really a bit of a waste!
Chen Guoxi, Mao Sanye and other old people, when they talked about excitement, they even followed suit. Although their movements are quite non-standard, they are tired of it, as if they have regained the feeling of being a soldier in the past. Their biggest regret is that they were born decades early. If they were ten years old, they would definitely be part of the convoy! Fighting with the escort is energetic! It is ten million times more comfortable than being beaten in Liaodong! Fighting with the convoy, even if it is not heroic, it is willing!
It was almost noon that the old people reluctantly left the training ground. Because, at noon, Zhang Zhun wanted to invite them, and they had to go to the Qianhu official hall to attend the banquet. Compared with the military parade, the banquet at noon is also the highlight of Zhang Zhun!
In the courtyard of the Qianhu official hall, more than 60 tables of meals were prepared, as well as a large number of moon cakes. Before the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Zhun asked Yang Kaide to come forward and send invitations to all the old people in Fushan City. Wang Mingyu, Liu Hang, Hou Shanping, Yang Liren, Liu Baoyu and others accompanied. According to Zhang Zhun's meaning, all the old people in Fushan City who are over fifty years old, as long as they can still walk, have been invited. Despite this, the number of old people who arrived was not very many, only about thirty tables. At that time, people generally did not live long, and fifty years old was already considered a long life.
In addition, according to Zhang Zhun's meaning, every old man should be accompanied by a junior to avoid accidents, so there are about sixty tables in total. The descendants of these old people are basically the backbone of various industries in Fushan City. That's for sure, ordinary people who don't have any potential, do they have the courage to appear here in the Thousand Households Official Hall? If I talk to you, I'm afraid my tongue will roll!
Zhang Zhun has always had a wish, that is, to celebrate his father's 60-year-old birthday. It's a pity that he didn't wait for this day, and he had already left the original world with a full of grievances. And his father, even before him, left that world. Now, holding this banquet can be regarded as making up for the regrets of the previous life. During the Qing Dynasty, there were also emperors, and thousands of banquets were also held, which was completely a show of meaning. However, at this moment, Zhang Zhun and the word Xian are not close to each other at all.
Of course, it is not right to say that Zhang Zhun has no selfishness at all. He also has a political purpose in doing this, that is, he hopes to strive for these old people to become his core backbone team. Well, in the most popular language, the most loyal fans. No matter what they want to do, these old people will spare no effort to support themselves.
After all, the Chinese are very filial piety, and the old people have a relatively high status in their respective families. There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. The opinions of the elderly, the juniors of the family, will generally accept it. Zhang Zhun's policies must be thoroughly implemented and implemented, and they cannot do without the support of these old people. If we can get the understanding, support and cooperation of these old people, then any resistance will not be a problem.
At the banquet, Zhang Zhun talked to every old man as much as possible to show his concern for them. His action obviously won the favor of the old people. No matter what you say, Zhang Zhun is also a real thousand, and it is really rare to be so approachable. How could the former thousand households take them seriously? I wish they had crossed their legs sooner! The old people are very emotional, they have never encountered such a thing in their lives. Zhang Yulin, this young man, you want it! With his leadership, the future will be good, and it will still grow.
"Yulin, no matter what you do, we old bones will spare no effort to support you!"
Mao Sanye replaced the old people and said what was in their hearts.
