The first phase of the Houjin campaign has been completed, sweeping most of the areas around the Daming Jingshi, and the next step is to completely encircle the Daming Jingshi. Yang Tingjian was reluctant to take the initiative to fight with Jiannu because of the poor armor of the troops.

It's not that Yang Tingjian is afraid of Jiannu, but that Yang Tingjian's subordinates are all firearms troops, and if there is no plate armor to fight with Jiannu, Jiannu's bows and arrows will cause heavy casualties to the Tiger Army. Let Yang Tingjian and Jiannu go for a life, Yang Tingjian doesn't plan to do this, at least Yang Tingjian doesn't have such capital now.

Besides, Yang Tingjian still has to go to the military parade, and the time is also relatively urgent, so the conflict between the Tiger Ben Army and Jiannu during this period has also ended here for the time being, and the Tiger Ben Army will launch a counterattack against Jiannu, about half a month later.

……

On the 18th of April, the dark clouds that hung over the heads of the people were swept away, and all the people of the Ming Jingshi poured into the streets, watching the soldiers and horses of the city patrol pulling more than 200 carts of Jiannu corpses around the streets, each carriage carrying about ten corpses.

This look at the corpse of Jiannu is more visually impactful than looking at the head, the people of Beijing have loud cheers, there are also those who throw garbage, and there are more people who cry bitterly, among the people who fled into Beijing, there are many people's relatives who have been killed or looted by the Tartars, don't these people hate Jiannu? That's impossible.

Regardless of whether these people are cheering or crying, at least they see the hope of Daming, who is no longer a coward to be slaughtered. This time, Jiannu's body was dragged through the streets, which played an immeasurable role in the uplifting of the people's hearts.

Chongzhen also issued a very special order, asking the patrol soldiers and horses to pull Jiannu's body to the three major battalions to visit, and then peel off the cotton armor on Jiannu's corpse, and then distribute it to the three major battalions of the Beijing Division.

Of course, Chongzhen knew that the three major battalions of the Beijing Division were eroded, but this display of corpses at least made these rotten soldiers not so afraid of the Jiannu soldiers in their hearts, and the most important thing was to let them know that "the Manchurian people are less than 10,000." The phrase "invincible" is bragging.

In ancient times, people were superstitious, and they were most likely to have fear, which had the greatest impact on morale. At least the three battalions of the Beijing Division can be defended on the city wall!

Yang Tingjian also has this extravagant hope, if the Tiger Ben Army is used to guard the city wall of the Beijing Division, then the Ming Dynasty will have no soldiers to fight, except for the Tiger Ben Army, there is no army that can fight with the Jiannu field troops. If Chongzhen defended the Beijing division of Lin Huben's army, it would be equivalent to the Ming Dynasty completely abandoning the strategy of taking the initiative to counterattack, and passive defense has always been the way to fail, defending everywhere and weak troops everywhere. Instead, they were broken by Jiannu one by one.

Yang Tingjian has not had an easy time these days, while supervising the production of plate armor, he has to train the parade queue. No matter how much overtime is overworked, there are still more than 10,000 soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who do not have plate armor, and those who do not have plate armor can only wear flying fish suits.

Yang Tingjian began training on the first day of the Huben Army's enlistment, which was an important step in training the obedience of the soldiers. All the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army have gone through more than four months of training, and there is absolutely no problem in kicking the right step, but the difficulty is that the whole team looks at a line. Look at a line vertically.

Yang Tingjian has also seen the queue that the tiger army walked, and it can only be regarded as basically neat. But it definitely did not reach the rabbit parade which looks at a line horizontally, a line vertically, and a line in all directions.

What to do? Yang Tingjian thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a way, Yang Tingjian went back to modern times to buy a sack of highly transparent fishing line, and then tied the fishing line to the weapons of the vanguard. The vanguard of both ends of the vertical and vertical ends must be tied. In this way, within a phalanx of 100 people, a grid was formed, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army kicked 500 meters in such a grid when they were praising their merits and parades. It is absolutely possible to ensure that the team is uniform.

In the remaining two days, Yang Tingjian used this method to train the Tiger Ben army under his hands, and after practice, this method was very good, including the Mongolian cavalry, which could be mastered very well. But there is a shortcoming, that is, the whole team can not kick the right step for a long distance, after the effect of practice, Yang Tingjian limited the distance of the kick to the right step within 500 meters, just through the section of Chengtianmen. (Chengtianmen is now Tiananmen.) ）

On April 19 of the third year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty held the first military parade in history, Wen Tiren, the secretary of the Ming Rite Department, had already arranged a qiē in accordance with the steps of the military parade given to him by Yang Tingjian, and the hundreds of civil and military officials of the Beijing division who participated in the military parade were all in the front line of Chengtianmen, these people had seats, and those gentry who were selected according to each square did not have seats, and ordinary people could only watch on both sides of the street where the tiger army passed guò.

The first item of the military parade is to offer prisoners to Chongzhen at the noon gate, this noon gate sacrifice has been done once last time, everyone is familiar with the road, this time the prisoners are Houjin and Shuobeile Mang Gurtai, Mang Gurtai is the fifth son of the old turtle. (Later Jin did not have the title of prince at this time, and only began to be crowned prince in 1636.) ）

Yang Tingjian took Mang Gurtai to the noon gate to offer prisoners, while Lu Jianxing took the tiger army into the city from Chaoyang Gate, and then went around the imperial city to stand in front of Chengtian Gate, waiting for Chongzhen to come to review in a four-wheeled carriage.

The day before the noon gate sacrifice ceremony, the temple and the shrine were sacrificed first, that is, the temple and the shrine. On the sacrifice of prisoners, the throne is set up in the middle of the main building of the noon gate, the yellow cover is opened under the eaves, and the halogen book is set up under the tower of the noon gate city, and the two sides are arranged until the end gate.

In front of the noon gate, the princes and ministers, civil and military officials, solemn and strict, stood in shifts. The emperor wore a dragon robe and a gown, and rode out of the inner palace. When driving, the bell rings at noon; When you arrive at Taihe Gate, you will play golden drums and cymbals. The emperor arrived at noon in front of the gate, along the horse road, the royal tower ascended. At the bottom of the noon gate, the officers of the military department led the generals and led the prisoners of war to kneel.

The military department still reported: "Prisoners! ”

The drums were played, the salute was roaring, the officials stood solemnly, celebrating the victory, and the ceremony official said: "Salute!" ”

Yang Tingjian followed the steps of the previous noon gate to offer prisoners, and led Mang Gurtai to the noon gate with a white rope, Mang Gurtai's hands were cut behind his back, and his neck was also strangled by a rope, Mang Gurtai's temper was short-tempered, very unconvinced, and he struggled hard while walking, but he was Yang Tingjian's opponent, not to mention that he still had a rope tied around his neck, and the more he struggled, the more he couldn't breathe.

When Yang Tingjian came to the noon gate, Yang Tingjian scolded Mang Gurtai:

"Get on your knees."

Mang Gurtai raised his head, pretending not to hear Yang Tingjian's scolding, at this time, he couldn't help the slave chief of Mang Gurtai, Yang Tingjian's feet kicked out like lightning, "snap" twice, Yang Tingjian's feet kicked in the back of his knees, Mang Gurtai pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, and knelt straight down.

The ground in front of the gate at noon is made of fine white marble stones, and now it hurts Mang Gurtai to grin, even if the slave chief of Mang Gurtai hurts so much, he just doesn't snort, and he is very hard.
