Chapter 596: Sultry
ο»Ώ
The long line of the Qin army was still moving forward, its eyes full of metal flashes and red flags. () In particular, the red flags, unfurled in the air, connected together, like a group of dancing flames, after seeing it for a long time, people can't help but rise a ball of pride in people's hearts.
After the big drums, after the ironclad foot soldiers, it was the cavalry.
Although the people were still cheering as if the heavens were shaking, the sound of horses' hooves knocking neatly on the stone floor still drowned out all the noise.
These cavalry were divided into numerous small formations in groups of twenty horsemen. However, the war horses in each small formation are the same color, first a team of white horses, then a jujube red horse, then a green horse team, and then a flower horse team.
The horsemen on the horses were all dressed in freshly painted leather armor, and all of them had new red tassels on their helmets, which were very red and pretty
γ
Not only that, everyone is wearing a red brocade cloak, which is really handsome and promoted, mighty and gorgeous.
In the sound of "Long live" from the mountains and tsunamis, all the cavalry raised their hands at the same time and raised their hands into the air.
But I saw that countless petals rose above the heads of the army, colorful and fragrant.
This is simply the scene in the later Hollywood movie "Cleopatra", and even more than that.
Since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he has come out every day to review the excerpts, and the country has never had such a grand celebration. I don't know much about the army I have at hand. In the early years of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan led his troops into the Weijing Division...... Don't mention it...... Especially in recent years, after the troops fought in a mess, they held their breath when they saw the military attachΓ©.
Seeing the momentum of the Qin army today, my heart suddenly sank.
couldn't help but show joy on his face, and said to Yang Sichang beside him: "I didn't think that my army was so strong, and Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou were well-trained, no wonder the situation in Shaanxi is getting better and better." β
Yang Sichang was overjoyed when he heard the emperor's praise of the Qin army, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, since the minister was in charge of the military aircraft in the cabinet, the armies in the world are clear. In Yichen's opinion, whether it is combat effectiveness or equipment, the Qin army can be ranked first in the Ming army, and it is actually the first-class elite of our dynasty. Such a strong army, stationed in Jixian and Shanhaiguan, used to defend Gyeonggi, is the most appropriate. β
Allowing Hong Hengjiu to serve as the governor of Jiliao is a measure that Yang Sichang has been promoting below. Hong Laoheng admitted his feelings, and he will be restrained in the future. To control Hong Chengchou is to restrain Guan Ning's group of arrogant generals. Now, Yang Sichang has controlled the Xuan Mansion, and now if he exerts his influence into Guanning, his position in the cabinet will finally be completely stable.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was stunned: "Since the Qin army is so elite, why did it still suffer defeat in Baoqiu?" β
This is which pot is not opened, Yang Sichang said eloquently: "Where is there a war that does not suffer a loss, Zhuge Kongming came out of the mountain to pray for seven times, and in the end, the stars fell into the five battles." No one can guarantee such a thing as a war. A battle lasts several months, during which there are many large and small battles, I don't know how many, victory or defeat is a common thing, as long as the final victory is achieved and the strategic goal is achieved, it doesn't matter how many battles are lost. β
Chongzhen: "It seems that the Kening Township Army has never been defeated, right?" β
Yang Sichang still said calmly: "Your Majesty is probably still entangled in the defeat of the Qin army in the battle of Baoqiushui, right?" There is a saying in the art of war, which roughly means that the three are surrounded by one, and the poor are not chased
γ It is said that when the enemy is defeated and flees, he must not push him too hard, and he must guard against the enemy fighting to the death. In the battle of Baoqiushui, although Jiannu was defeated before, he was about to flee home, homesick, it can be said that everyone is desperate, in this case, even if it is replaced by the Ningxiang army, it is afraid that it will be defeated. In Yichen's opinion, the elite and strong of the Qin army are only afraid that they are stronger than the Ningxiang army. If the siege of Jinan is relieved that day and replaced by the Qin army, I am afraid that the results will be greater. It's a pity that the Qin army at that time had just marched to the river. β
"The Qin army is stronger than the Ningxiang army?" Chongzhen was puzzled.
Yang Sichang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, only strong and not weak, how is the military prestige of the Qin army, the Son of Heaven has seen it with his own eyes, the so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, no need to say more, right?" The Qin army and the Ningxiang army are both His Majesty's troops, which is a good thing for the country. In fact, many of the credits that the Ningxiang Army was able to get were due to luck. β
He pointed to the Qin army below: "The merits of the Ningxiang army on the battlefield and every battle fought have been seen in the excerpts. This Sun Yuan is actually really a lucky general! β
Chongzhen looked thoughtful, as the monarch of a country, the more troops he could fight, the better. Moreover, Yang Sichang also understands his mind very well, and every word seems to be in his heart.
He smiled: "Indeed, Sun Yuan is my lucky general. Qin Jun is also good, very good. The Qin army suffered a defeat, but this did not damage their prestige, and in this way, it was not fair to the Qin generals who fought bloodily. I know that the border troops of other towns, when they saw Jiannu, usually didn't fight, and they dispersed. However, Hong Hengjiu's soldiers dared to fight the enemy face to face. I can't blame them too much. Yang Qing's words are right, such a tiger ben naturally wants to stay, defend the important land of Gyeonggi, and serve the country. β
It is about today's Qin army that is too brilliant and impresses Emperor Chongzhen.
This sentence is a promise to let Hong Chengchou be the governor of Jiliao, and a big stone in Yang Sichang's heart has finally landed. With Qin Jun's outstanding performance today, he can naturally suppress Sun Yuan. As long as the emperor can not meet Sun Yuan, there is naturally no need to mention the matter of collecting Lu Xiangsheng's body. came down, and he had a way to send Sun Yuan out of the capital.
But at this time, the emperor suddenly said: "That's right, Jiannu is really hateful. Both the Qin army and the Ningxiang army had to stay in Gyeonggi, and Sun Yuan had made great contributions, and I couldn't help but reward them. A few days ago, Liu Yuliang, a university scholar, recommended Sun Yuan to be the chief soldier of Xuanfu
γ Xuanfu is the gateway to western Beijing, and it really needs a tiger general to guard it, and I plan to do it. β
As soon as he said this, Yang Sichang was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he almost jumped up: Just kidding, Xuanfu is the first important town on the nine sides, and he is directly responsible for the defense of the capital. If Sun Yuan is the chief soldier of Xuanfu, he is not the same as staying in the capital. This proud man of Lu Xiangsheng stayed in Gyeonggi, held military power, and connected with Liu Yuliang, a cabinet scholar, so it was strange not to make a big fuss.
At that moment, I couldn't help but scream: "It's not appropriate." β
"What's wrong?" Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Yang Sichang strangely.
This sentence stopped him, and Yang Sichang couldn't speak.
The Qin army below was still walking forward slowly, with several other town troops behind them, crowding a Chang'an Avenue to the brim.
There was still no wind, no sun, and it was very hot.
Standing on the city tower, everyone was covered with sweat, but in front of the emperor, no one dared to pull out a fan to fan the wind. A smell of sweat like seafood permeated the city tower, and the red official robes on everyone's bodies had already been soaked with sweat.
Even Emperor Chongzhen was so hot that his body was drenched, his body was not good, his skin was soaked in sweat, and he suddenly felt pain and itching, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and scratch it under his crotch at the moment.
Yang Sichang stayed with Emperor Chongzhen every day, and he knew best what the emperor's dragon body was. At that moment, his heart moved: "Your Majesty, what kind of army the Qin army is, the Son of Heaven must have already known." Come to think of it, the Ningxiang Army is nothing more than that. It's too hot here, and Your Majesty is concerned about the safety of the world, so it's important to keep it safe. Why don't you go down to Chengtianmen first and go to Taimiao? β
"The rest of the army won't look at it?" Chongzhen asked unconsciously.
Yang Sichang was waiting for the emperor's words, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the border army of the Six Towns has suffered heavy losses in this battle for seven months, and many troops can't even make up a battalion of soldiers. The battle was too hard......" Then, he sighed again and said, "It is really the supreme honor of the front-line soldiers to be inspected by the Son of Heaven. However, the saint's dragon body matters. Don't let the cabinet and the six ministries inspect on their behalf, and His Majesty will go to the Taimiao Temple to rest first. On the side of the Taimiao, there are still many affairs that need to be presided over by His Majesty, and there is no delay. It was too hot and humid this day. β
The meaning in his words was nothing more than that it was enough to look at the Qin army, and the other troops were really nothing to look at, and they were not as strong as Cao Bianjiao's troops anyway. Anyway, this military parade is just a ceremony of the imperial court, and the meaning is enough
γ
After the military parade, you have to go to the Taimiao Temple to comfort the ancestral spirits, and you have to have a lot of complicated ceremonies, and you may have to spend a whole day of work.
Chongzhen's nature is urgent, but I am afraid that he is impatient in his heart now.
Moreover, Yang Sichang's sharp eyes had already seen that Chongzhen's skin disease had attacked, and the itching was unbearable, so he was afraid that he wished that the matter here would end as soon as possible, so he suggested that the emperor simply go down to Chengtianmen first and go straight to Taimiao.
His sentence "This day is too sultry" made Chongzhen even more unbearable. I only felt that the scratched place on my body was itchy and impatient, and I just wanted to find a place where no one was there as soon as possible and grab it for a while.
However, Yang Sichang still thought wrongly, Chongzhen is known for his strong will in history. According to historical records, when Li Zicheng went to Beijing, someone suggested that he simply flee to Nanjing. As a result, Chongzhen came to the sentence "The Son of Heaven is dead", but he just didn't leave. Of course, there are doubts about this matter, and some people in later generations said that Emperor Chongzhen actually wanted to leave, but he stayed because of the strong opposition of civil officials. In addition, it is said that after Zhou Kui sent Chen Yuanyuan to the palace, although Chongzhen was amazed by her beauty, he asked someone to send it out without touching it, and also said that the king of Shengming could not get close to women, and I couldn't see the excerpts every day, where was there time to enjoy.
From these two things, it can be seen that Emperor Chongzhen's self-discipline and strong will.
"No, I'm not leaving." Suddenly, Chongzhen shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "It's hot this day, aren't the soldiers hot?" The sergeants of the towns fought bloody battles on the front line, and they were not even afraid of death, but I was still afraid of the heat. I stood at the head of the city until the end of the parade. β
Yang Sichang was helpless: Your Majesty refused to leave, if the team of the Ningxiang Army came over and was brilliant again, the emperor summoned Sun Yuan on a whim, wouldn't my arrangements be in vain...... I heard that the Ningxiang Army is very strong, especially the battle formation queue, as soon as it walks, it is simply a tofu block...... Could it be that they are really so strong that they can still compare Cao Bianjiao's Qin army...... Impossible, right...... It's a sweltering day!
In a hurry, the sweat on his body gushed out like spring water.
At this time, suddenly, he saw the silk silk hanging from the yellow canopy on Emperor Chongzhen's head suddenly raised.
A cool breeze hit, and there was an indescribable coldness.
It's refreshing.
