Chapter 103: Review II
Regaining their mood, Shen Jia and the You Shi Power team entered the school field. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info temporary stands have been erected in the northernmost part of the school field, and there are many pergolas on both sides, which must have been booked by Xungui a long time ago. The Shenshu camp searched carefully around the stands, and Shen Jia originally wanted to go over to explore the terrain, but he was also blocked. Everyone had to stay in a designated area, and soon Zeng Shi and He Chun ran over, intending to ask about the admission process.
"This school field is very large, wait to jog into the field first, and then the queue forward, about ten zhang away from the stands, start to do formation changes, the first three rows are spearmen, the back is the sword and shield soldiers, Zeng Shi you to command, when about a zhang from the stands, start to move forward, the whole process, the slogan should be loud, be sure to ask for neatness, understand?"
"Understood, guaranteed to complete the task!"
Zeng Shi and He Chun saluted, and Shen Jia also solemnly returned the salute, which provoked the ruffians in the nearby Beijing camp to laugh.
The head captured in the battle of Shen Fu has already been sent to the capital, and today it was deliberately moved to the gate of the school field to form a Beijing view, so that pedestrians can appreciate the great military might of the Ming Dynasty. The weather was hot, and the skull had long since rotted, and although it had been soaked in quicklime, there was still a faint smell of corpses in the air, which could be smelled from a distance through the gate.
Shen Jia and You Shigong took the team as far away as possible, and he didn't want to turn himself over before entering the field. Half an hour later, hundreds of civil and military officials arrived one after another. Through the gate, dozens of sedan chairs and swaying human heads were seen from afar. The number of people in the stands and pergolas gradually increased, and the Ming army of the Beijing camp stood in a circle on both sides inside and outside the school field, responsible for vigilance and duty.
At the entrance of the school field, an old man with a clear face and strong spirits was helped down from the sedan chair. The people on the side bowed their hands and took the initiative to get out of the way.
"Lord Wang, what wind blew you here? Greetings to the king! ”
"Yuan Liqing, how do you feel about being a Shaoqing in Shangbaosi? With your Yuan Liqing's great talent, staying in Shangbaosi is really burying talents, why don't you come to the military department? ”
Shang Baosi Shaoqing is Yuan Keli, the anti-gold figure in the late Ming Dynasty was still focused on civil affairs at this time. And the old man next to him is the veteran of the Four Dynasties, and now the king of the military department is Xiangqian. In the early years, the governor Ji Liao, the master of the line, the experience of the famous book of nine sides made today's Wang Xiangqian famous all over the world, and his merits are very many, and he was the Wanli Emperor Jin Jue Prince Taibao, is the only one left in the court, and the middle of the highly respected.
Yuan Keli smiled slightly and said, "Lord Wang, let's go first, this is not a place to talk." ”
"Yo Wang, it's rare to come to my Jingying, and you didn't even say hello to me, you look down on the Jingying brothers, aren't you Yuan Liqing?"
Wang Xiangqian coughed twice and said: "British duke, don't laugh at the old man, everyone dislikes my old bones, how dare I bother you, many people want me to give way, and the British duke makes fun of the old man." ”
British public Zhang Weixian is in his fifties, and his smile can't hide his sparse wrinkles. Although his face was dry and flabby, Zhang Weixian's eyes were sharp. Hearing Wang Xiangqian's complaints, Zhang Weixian turned his head and glanced at the officials around him, and said loudly: "The one who doesn't open his eyes embarrass Lord Wang, that's really blind, if you let the old man know, you must make him look good." ”
Zhang Weixian's voice was loud, and the Donglin officials on the side frowned when they heard it. Liu Yixiu, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zou Yuanbiao, the left attendant of the ministry, happened to come together, and heard the roar of the British duke from a distance. Liu Yixiao shouted from afar: "The British prince is not less majestic back then, the sound is like a bell, and the twenty-year-old boy can't catch up with you. ”
Zhang Weixian turned his head, saw that it was the first assistant of the cabinet, and greeted him and said: "Lord Shoufu, today is a grand event, you are not in a hurry, Lao Tzu has not slept peacefully in the past few days, and his mind is spent on this review." ”
Liu Yixiao smiled awkwardly and said: "The British prince is hard, I have some Longjing brought back from Hangzhou here, which is the Ming Dynasty tea just picked before the Qingming Festival, the taste is sweet and fragrant, I will let people bring you some later, Lord Wang, Lord Yuan also have it." ”
"Liu Jihui, you are powerful, the old man is not as good as you, but the elder of the four dynasties is Lord Wang." After that, Zhang Weixian stopped talking and glanced at Liu Yixian thoughtfully.
Liu Yixian was slightly embarrassed, but returned to normal in an instant, and took the opportunity to greet Yuan Keli and the British public guests. And Wang Xiangqian used the excuse that his body was not good and he was a little tired, so he had already entered the field.
Officials arrived one after another, and some officials who traveled together on the road came to the gate of the school and consciously divided into two groups of people, which were clearly distinguished. The two groups of people entered calmly from one side, without making noise, without attacking, and without looking at each other angrily, everything seemed to be normal until the arrival of Yang Lian and Xiong Tingbi.
Yang Lian and Xiong Tingbi's mansion were not far apart, and they happened to meet when they went out. After the meeting, Yang Lian even joked that I am a Donglin party, and I will walk hand in hand with you, the Chu Party, will the scene be very embarrassing. Xiong Tingbi disdained this, exuding an aura that was admired by tens of millions of people, and Yang Lian was full of admiration, so he walked together.
encountered a lot of such situations on the road, and Yang Xiong and the two suddenly felt at ease. It's just that when he entered the door, Xiong Tingbi didn't notice the group, and he followed Yang Lian and walked in with a smile. Turning the door, there was already a lot of people behind him, the Donglin Party, and the three parties condemned Xiong Tingbi at the same time, and between the words, Xiong Manzi's black history was sorted out at the gate again.
However, Yang Xiong and the others didn't know about these things, they had already entered the school field and were walking towards the stands.
Half an hour later, a eunuch walked to the door in advance and shouted that the emperor had arrived. Soon everyone saw a tall incense chariot slowly coming. The incense step is decorated with carved wood colorful clouds around it, and there are 12 pieces of gold dragon plates, and the rosette is covered with muddy gold. There are four huge vermilion lacquer woods, which look majestic and solemn from a distance.
At the door, the officials had already moved out of the way and stood on both sides. Under the leadership of the eunuchs, the crowd shouted long live to welcome the emperor. Xiang Bu ran straight into the gate, and a group of officials hurriedly entered, and then the gate slowly closed.
The stands were already filled with bustling crowds, and the tea sheds on both sides were also full of people, many people craned their necks and pointed at the assault vehicles in the distance.
"British male, I heard that there is a flying chicken in an overseas master, and it will lay eggs, this assault vehicle is said to be the egg laid by the flying chicken, why didn't I see the flying chicken come today?"
Zhang Weixian turned his head to look, but found that it was Xue Lian, the tyrant in the capital, who was respectfully asking him for advice.
"Boy, I heard that you have caused trouble again in the past few days, what happened to the Qinglou woman in Rouge Lane? You almost smashed Qiuyue Tower, and the officials of the DPRK and China often go there to listen to small songs, don't get angry, it's good for me to help you once, don't rely on Lao Tzu for the rest of your life just because you were in Beijing. ”
Xue Lian hurriedly replied: "Grandpa Guo, we are honorable and noble, everyone is counting on you, you see that the army over there is arrogant and abnormal, but they have no power, the poor are about to become called Huazi, we were born in the Beijing camp, how could we have such a situation, Grandpa Guo, don't leave everyone behind." ”
"You kid, hurry up and get out of here, and finish the matter of Qiuyue Tower as soon as possible, so as not to make a noise."
"Grandpa Guo, don't worry, these days there has been a lot of noise in the court over trivial things, I just demolished Qiuyue Tower, and they won't pay attention to me, Grandpa Guo, let's continue to watch and ask Hanako for food."
Zhang Weixian suddenly heard Hanako ask for food, and almost fell down when he laughed, but fortunately he was supported by the person next to him. Isn't it, coming all the way from Fushun just to ask for some rewards? Hey, this court is so chaotic, how long will it take?
In the inconspicuous corner on the far right of the stands stood a young missionary named John Adam, who was not as famous as he was in history. John Adam was staring at the four-wheeled assault vehicle in the distance with mixed feelings. Four-wheeled vehicles are relatively rare in China, but more common in Europe.
At first sight of the car, John Adam even thought he was back in Cologne, Holy Roman Empire. However, many years of experience in Andreo's monastery and strict monastic training forged him a serious and cautious mind, and he slowly determined that the four-wheeled vehicle was beyond his knowledge.
John Adam sighed helplessly, even if he knew, what could he do. Five years ago, in the Nanjing case, Shen Guan, a priest who did not like Christianity, expelled missionaries from the country, some of whom were even killed, and some were sent to prison. Eventually, the missionaries who came to China retreated to Macao, and the believers who remained were hiding in their homes, not daring to preach the gospel anymore.
John Adam looked helpless, hearing that the court had won a great victory in the confrontation with the barbarians, and he used his identity as a military expert to accompany the cannon this time, not knowing what the result would be. John Adam prayed in a low voice for God to bless.
"Elder Liu Ge, where did the Westerners over there come from? Why haven't you seen it on weekdays? ”
"Lord Wang, this is a Taixi person from Macao, this time I sent a batch of cannons over, and I am about to test fire them in the capital, I have already told the emperor, and the emperor will personally order the military department to evaluate it in a few days. Today's event is rare, so I invited him to come and watch it together. ”
"The emperor has arrived!"
Soon, a group of eunuchs surrounded Zhu Youxiao and walked up to the stands and sat down in the center. The crowds around were surging, the mountains shouted long live, and the atmosphere of the school field suddenly became hot. Zhu Youxiao sat upright with the queen, at this time the sun was rising, and the heat wave of June was coming. The eunuchs hurriedly arranged the temporary pergola, and at the same time arranged for the palace maids to shake their fans to enjoy the coolness.
After the arrangements were made, the official of the Ministry of Rites said that the auspicious time had arrived, and asked the emperor to announce the beginning of the ceremony. Zhu Youxiao nodded and motioned to the eunuch beside him to start. Then a male duck shouted: "The review begins, and the meritorious officers are invited to enter!" ”
The drums sounded, and the cavalry of three hundred people, under the leadership of You Shigong, lined up and entered the middle of the school field. Although the cavalry was in rags, their slogans were neat and unanimous, majestic and mighty. Under the scorching sun, the sweat of the cavalry kept sliding down their faces, but they insisted on looking straight ahead, and the army walked towards the stands in order.
"One! Two! Three! Four, one, two, three, four! ”
As You Shigong's slogan sounded, three hundred people shouted in unison: "One, two, three, four!" The majestic slogan shook the dirt chips in the stands, and Wang Xiangqian stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction. Zhu Youxiao, who was in the middle of the stands, was even more happy, and explained to the queen while asking the ministers about the generals who led the troops. Queen Zhang Yan first entered the palace, the first to leave the palace today, her face is like Guanyin, her manners are decent, her speech is pleasant, she is gentle and polite, and the courtiers have nodded in approval, admiring the emperor's keen vision.
You Shigong's strange slogan surprised the officials on the opening stage, and Shen Jia, who was at the end of the line, looked disdainful. In the future, you have to stay away from You Shigong, this slogan has to be grabbed, and I don't know what to grab in the future.
This was followed by infantry squares. The first three rows of the infantry were spearmen, and behind them were swords and shields, marching in orderly steps to the beat of drums. The entire infantry formation formation training is the most durable, and it can be said that it is one of the best disciplined and platoon training units in the Fushun garrison. This group of peasants from the border pass came to the capital for the first time, felt the blazing eyes of the emperor and hundreds of officials, and all of them were full of energy and marched forward with high spirits.
"Wow, this group of Hanako is so neatly and uniformly, everyone, look, Hanako can be lined up!" There was a strange cry in the pergola, needless to say that this was Hou Ye Xue Lian, and some civil and military officials turned their backs and turned a blind eye to Xue Fool's tricks.
"Xue Lian, close your beak for me, and be verbose, believe it or not, I threw you in front of the emperor?" It was the British public Zhang Weixian who spoke, this is the uncle of the nobles, Xue Lian hurriedly said that he would not mess around again.
The infantry squad approached the main stand, and with Zeng Shi's order, the squad turned to march on foot. The sound of uniform footsteps and majestic slogans sounded, and everyone in the stands heard the familiar one, two, three, and four slogans, and after people shouted a few times along with the team, they suddenly shouted a strange slogan.
"Hello comrades!"
"Hello Chief!"
"Comrades have worked hard!"
"Serve the people!"
The civil and military officials in the stands looked at each other, they didn't understand what the infantry phalanx was shouting. However, the infantry team was kicking well, and the uppers of their shoes were fiercely smashed to the ground, neat and mighty, and the dust was flying. From a distance, it seems to be a team of ragged warriors returning from a bloody battle. The team was imposing, and even the sand and dust were rolling.
The sandstorm, mixed with a heat wave, quickly caught people's attention. Even Zhao Nanxing, who had been closing his eyes in the stands, couldn't help but open his eyes, quite curious.
