Chapter 458: The Eastern Expedition Parade

On the fifth day of November in the 49th year of Kangxi, Hongqing went to this chapter of the "Regulations on the Administration of the Central Bank", and the emperor Yuezhi, however, did not succeed, but handed it over to a group of scholars to review the charter, and after fierce debate and several revisions, the old man issued a clear edict on March 11, 50th year of Kangxi.

On March 12, the 50th year of Kangxi, the third master went to the book, sponsored Li Guangdi, a scholar of Zhishi University, to take charge of the preparations for the central bank, and sponsored the prince of Yong, Hongli, and Shen He, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, as his deputy, at the same time, the eighth, tenth, and fourteenth three elder brothers jointly recommended many ministers to unanimously recommend the ninth master to take charge of related matters, and the old man did not leave a position on the candidate for the central bank.

On the first day of April in the fiftieth year of Kangxi, the third master went to the book again, the old things were brought up again, and the people who echoed it, the fifth master and the seventh master followed up, on the other hand, the eighth master side was silent, and the general trend of public opinion was established, so the old man no longer remained silent, and issued an edict to approve the request of the third master, so that Li Guangdi, Hongli, Shen He and others immediately began to prepare for the central bank.

On the ninth day of the fifth month of the 50th year of Kangxi, the "Eight Banners Firm" fleet in the South Seas returned smoothly, and 38 cargo ships loaded with many commodities docked at the Guangzhou wharf, which was approved by the customs, and the total profit of this line was 7,973,500 taels of silver, and the board of directors of the "Eight Banners Firm" resolved that the profits would no longer be deducted from the development fund, and all of them would be used as military expenses for the Eastern Crusade, and the old man was gladly approved.

On May 18, the 50th year of Kangxi, the last of the 30 large and medium-sized warships built by the Macao Shipyard, the "Weiwu", was also launched for sea trials, and the Eastern Expeditionary Fleet was established on the first day of June in the 50th year of Kangxi, and gathered to form an army, led by Sun Mingxu, the commander of the Guangdong Naval Division, and began to move to Jiaoao (now Qingdao) in preparation for the Eastern Expedition this autumn.

On the ninth day of June in the 50th year of Kangxi, Hongqing was ordered to rush to Beigukou to meet with the old thirteen who had been training for nearly a year, and on June 15 of the 50th year of Kangxi, he signed this chapter with the old thirteen, asking the old man to allow the army to go out.

On the first day of the seventh month of the 50th year of Kangxi, at four o'clock, the sun had not yet risen, and only a line of fish belly white was exposed in the sky, but the surrounding area of Tiananmen Square, which was sparsely populated in the past, was already crowded with people, and even some came to occupy a place in the middle of the night, not for anything else, just because today is the day of the military parade of the newly formed New Army of the Eastern Expedition.

"The emperor has arrived!"

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the tower of Tiananmen Gate in the early morning, with the sound of broken cheers, the old man in neat court clothes walked slowly up to the Tiananmen Tower surrounded by many powerful people.

"The ministers (grass people, etc.) knock to see Your Majesty!"

Seeing the old man ascend the city gate tower, many subjects who were looking up outside the square did not dare to be careless, and knelt on the ground one after another, and bowed in unison.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"

The old man slowly walked to the big seat in the middle of the city gate tower, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, scanned the subjects kneeling in the distance with a smile, raised his hand in vain, and called warmly.

"The ministers (grass people, etc.) thank the lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Since the old man has already called, the crowd is waiting for the three shouts of long live is the proper meaning of the question, but there is nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, please make it clear to Your Majesty."

After the three shouts were over, an official of the Ministry of Rites flashed out from the side, and made a big gift to the old man, and said loudly.

"Well, well, let's get started!"

The old man is the emperor immediately, and there are a lot of military parades, but it is the first time to review the new army, and he is really curious about the majesty of the new army that Hongqing said in the previous book.

"Obey the order!"

Seeing that the old man's Chrysostom had been opened, the official of the Ministry of Rites who came to pay tribute did not dare to delay a little, answered the promise loudly, hurriedly got up, walked to the vicinity of the city dish in three steps and two steps, waved his hand, and shouted in a loud voice: "Fire!" ”

"Knock, knock, knock......"

With the shout of the official of the Ministry of Rites, the nine salutes lined up under the city gate tower immediately rang out in turn.

"All of them are here, listen to my commands, beat the drums, walk forward!"

As soon as the salute sounded, Hongqing, who was standing at the far end of the street, immediately lifted his spirit, pulled out the ceremonial knife at his waist, slashed forward with force, and gave the order with enough energy.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

As soon as Hongqing gave the order, the first phalanx, which was lined up in 20 by 40, immediately moved when he heard the order, but saw that the drummers in the first row beat the small drums hanging in front of them in unison, and in the sound of the neat drums, all the officers and soldiers put their guns on their shoulders, looked straight ahead, took positive steps, and marched along the long street to the Tiananmen Gate Tower in a uniform manner.

"The second phalanx listens to the order, all of them are here, and they are walking!"

After the first phalanx led by Hongqing walked out of twenty zhang away, the deputy general Akiyama who led the second phalanx did not dare to delay a little, but he also broke off and conveyed the order, and even saw that the main force of the Chinese army also began to move forward, followed by the first phalanx, followed by the cavalry team led by the old thirteen, and finally two infantry phalanxes and an artillery phalanx, the whole team was a long distance away, but the pace was amazingly consistent, and the neat pace was tapping on the long street, There was a majestic sound that sounded like a burst, and the scene was really shocking.

The eldest husband is alive, and he should be like this!

Riding forward, although Hongqing's face was tense, a faction of slaughter, but a pride was unstoppable from the bottom of his heart surging up, no side, just because this new army is Hongqing's vision of dominating the world, although it is still just taking shape, there is still some gap from the armies of the Western powers, but after all, this is a good start, with such a foundation, Hongqing self-confidence will not be long, the iron hooves of the Qing Dynasty strong army will inevitably make the Western world tremble, of course, This is just one factor of Hongqing's agitation, as for the other factor, it lies in the old thirteen's gratitude - originally according to the rules, the command of the first phalanx should be the glory of the old thirteen, the main general, but the old thirteen insisted on giving this honor to Hongqing, which led Hongqing to lead the vanguard team to be tested.

"Miss, Miss, look, here, here, ah, it's my aunt who is at the forefront, wow, my uncle is so heroic!"

Hongqing's square is not far from Tiananmen Square, that is, a mile away, although the marching army is not fast, but it is a little more than a stick of incense has come to the entrance of the square, at this time, the onlookers were all shocked by the solemn atmosphere of the phalanx, the original sound of chaos suddenly stopped, only the sound of neat footsteps echoed on the long street, in such a solemn atmosphere, but heard a shrill exclamation suddenly, many onlookers were suddenly alarmed, Following the prestige of the past, I immediately saw a master, a servant and two girls standing side by side on the street, all of them beautiful, as if there were two lotus flowers.

"Xiaomei, don't shout."

The one who is called Miss is Hongqing's fiancée Hai Lanzhu, at this time, when I saw the eyes of all the people, all the eyes were focused, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn red, and she lowered her head shyly, and her feet moved, as if she was going to flee, but at the end she still didn't move, looking at Hongqing's eyes full of admiration, but there was a little bit of melancholy and resentment, no side, the two were engaged to be engaged, but except for the New Year's Festival, Hongqing didn't go to the door of the Wen family at all, even if it was closed in the New Year, It's basically to deal with errands and leave, and it's rare to even meet with Hai Lanzhu, as for the moon before the flower, it's even more of a shadowless thing.

"Salute!"

Hongqing, who had already led his troops to the front of the Tiananmen Tower, could not notice the movement of Hailanzhu's master and servant, at this time, his mind was already highly focused on the military parade ceremony, and when he was about to pass through the Tiananmen Tower, he saw Hongqing flick his wrist and danced a knife flower in a chic manner.

"Brush, brush, brush!"

The military parade of the new army was compiled by Hongqing himself, and the reference was naturally the shoulder salute of the US army, but after listening to his order, 800 soldiers almost simultaneously lowered their shoulders, neatly swinging left and right in their hands, and then put on their shoulders again, the movements were clean and neat, and the steps under their feet were not chaotic at all, and the masculinity and blood courage of the generals were vividly displayed.

"Well, okay, this is the new army I want, Qing'er, this kid really has the courage of a general, not bad, not bad!"

It is difficult to say how effective the new army is, but the current spirit is enough to show that this army has a military soul, and the old man is a figure who is accustomed to leading soldiers.

"This is all caused by Emperor Ama Shengming, if you can get such a strong army, why worry about the Japanese slaves not being broken."

"Your Majesty Shengming, congratulations to Your Majesty for having a strong army again!"

"Your Majesty, this is a sign of my great Qing Dynasty's prosperity, and the ministers dare not congratulate it."

……

Seeing that the old man was happy, everyone around the old man was happy to put the icing on the cake, and the compliments immediately sounded, which made the old man laugh......
