Chapter 195: Praise Parade (Medium)
Yang Tingjian reported loudly to Chongzhen, who was sitting upright at the noon gate:
"Weichen Yang Tingjian was ordered to resist Jiannu, and after the prisoners, Jin and Shuobeile Mang Gurtai, I would like to offer your majesty, please order."
At this time, the emperor issued a decree that the prisoners of war should be handed over to the criminal department, or the prisoners of war would be released with amnesty. Handing it over to the criminal department means immediately beheading, and handing it over to other departments means not killing.
At this moment, Wen Tiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked out of the civil official queue on the left side of the noon gate quickly, and said loudly to Chongzhen, who was sitting upright on the noon gate:
"Let's go to Honglu Temple to ask for guilt, please order."
The emperor himself said: "Take it!" "In front of the noon gate, the space is large, there are many people, and the officials under the city tower can't hear what the emperor says, what should I do? There is a very interesting and effective method, that is, the two ministers on the left and right of the emperor repeatedly shout: "Take it!" Then the four people on the left and right shouted: "Take it!" In this way, one increased to two, two to four, four to eight, eight to sixteen, and finally the three hundred and sixty people, including the general of the Great Han, shouted in unison: "Take it!" "The sound was as loud as thunder.
Yang Tingjian heard that Wen Tiren "went to Honglu Temple to ask for guilt and ask for advice." After the start, I couldn't help but "Ah!" This doesn't seem right! This reckless Gurtai's hands were stained with the blood of the Han people, why didn't he hand it over to the Criminal Department? And to what Honglu Temple, it is an institution that manages foreign affairs and minority affairs.
This Honglu Temple will not kill people, but this time Yang Tingjian was so angry that he was angry, and he worked hard to arrest a Heshuo Belle in Houjin to boost the hearts of the army and the people, but without his knowledge, he actually didn't kill him, and no one could accept it, but Yang Tingjian couldn't have a seizure at this time, and the military parade was about to start, so he couldn't because of this. Make the military parade a joke.
"Lao Tzu endured." Yang Tingjian gritted his teeth and thought secretly, as soon as the noon gate prisoners were completed, it was the second stage of the military parade, Chongzhen took a four-wheeled carriage to inspect the Tiger Army, and Chongzhen's question Yang Tingjian had already designed it for him:
Yang Tingjian continued:
"Please review the Tiger Army, please order."
Chongzhen, who was sitting at the noon gate, immediately said:
"That's right."
The people around Chongzhen repeated Chongzhen's words again. Hundreds of people shouted at the same time, and the sound was really thunderous, and the momentum of this military parade came out.
A little, a roofless four-wheeled carriage carrying Chongzhen, "clicking" out of the noon gate, this special four-wheeled carriage is specially prepared for Chongzhen, with handrails and thrones placed on it, whether to stand or to stand, and Chongzhen himself decides. Obviously, Chongzhen, the Son of Heaven, is standing.
The civil and military officials in front of the noon gate first knelt down to worship Chongzhen, and then the cabinet and the six Shangshu rode horses behind Chongzhen's four-wheeled carriage. The horses ridden by civil officials were all extremely docile horses, and they basically followed them on their own without leading them. Don't worry that these civil officials don't know how to ride horses, the ancient scholars, the six arts of the gentleman is horseback riding.
Yang Tingjian, as the commander who led the military parade, of course, would also ride a horse and follow behind Chongzhen's four-wheeled carriage. The group started from the noon gate, and after the Guò Jinshui Bridge, they began to turn left into East Chang'an Street. At this time, the Tiger Ben Army had all formed their ranks on East Chang'an Street.
The standard-bearer at the front, he held high the military flag of the Tiger Army. Behind him was an infantry phalanx, each with a hundred people, who were clearly dressed and armoured, and spears were like a forest. Especially the plate armor on their bodies, which is in the Ming scorpion - the only one, this is still not the main thing. The main thing is that the morale of these soldiers is high.
Chongzhen looked at these majestic soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"Yang Tingjian, this kid is really a pillar of the country, and it is really not easy to train such a tiger and wolf division in such a short period of time."
Everywhere Chongzhen's four-wheeled carriage went. All the soldiers immediately saluted at Chongzhen, one phalanx after another, all like this, naturally Chongzhen's heart was involuntarily aroused, and shouted in the four-wheeled carriage:
"Hello soldiers."
As soon as Chongzhen's words fell, the phalanx within five hundred meters of Chongzhen immediately shouted in unison:
"Long live Your Majesty."
These thousands of people shouted at the same time, what kind of situation is that, it is far from enough to use thunder, this neat shout, so that Chongzhen's dragon robe was vibrated by the sound wave of the shout, and the glazed tiles on the Forbidden City trembled slightly, and the court bigwigs who followed the four-wheeled carriage were almost frightened and fell off the horse, if it weren't for the war horses under their crotch to plug their ears with cotton in advance, I am afraid that they would have been frightened and scurryed around.
All the court bigwigs sighed in their hearts, this military appearance is really shocking, these soldiers are too elite, how did Yang Tingjian do it in just a few months! And I haven't asked for a tael of silver from the imperial court, which is simply incredible.
After the long infantry halberd phalanx, there was a musket phalanx wearing plate armor, and this musket was also different from those burning sticks of the Ming Dynasty, with a fifty-centimeter bayonet stuck in the black and shiny barrel, and the length of the whole musket reached five feet, (one meter six five. That's about the height of a grown man! Even if this musket runs out of ammunition, it can be used as a red tassel gun.
If it weren't for the review now, Chongzhen really wanted to get out of the carriage and see the muskets in the hands of these Tiger Ben soldiers in person, the style of this musket completely subverted Chongzhen's perception of muskets.
The morale of the Tiger Army, the plate armor on their bodies, and the muskets in their hands, made Chongzhen and a group of court bigwigs deeply shocked, this Tiger Ben Army is simply so strong that it is beyond measure, no wonder Yang Tingjian can easily annihilate 8,000 Mongolian cavalry at Huyukou, and 2,000 Zhenglanqi Zhenjianu can be annihilated outside Tongzhou City, I am afraid that this is the reason.
Chongzhen: That's excited! I can't imagine that I still have such a powerful army in my hands, if the emperor has no soldiers to fight in his hands, even if the emperor has the ability to reach the sky, it is empty, and the army is the pillar of the country.
"The soldiers have worked hard."
"Your Majesty has worked hard."
Another thunderous cry, this shout made the heaven and the earth change color, and the heaven and the earth were moved, which was the earth-shaking cry issued by the Han nation.
Behind the musket phalanx is the artillery phalanx, this cannon also thundered Chongzhen, two horses hold cannons with wheels, and the caliber of the cannon is also very large, but the wall of this cannon is too thin, can such a cannon be used? Chongzhen's heart was full of questions, and the court bigwigs behind couldn't help but shake their heads after looking at Yang Tingjian's cannon, they thought:
"This Tiger Ben Army is good at everything, but the fort is indiscriminately filled, most of these cannons are made of wood, which is used to cope with this military parade, can such a thin barrel be fired? It is worse than the artillery produced in the official workshop of the Ming Dynasty. ”
