"Knock knock" three horns sounded one after another, and the review officially began. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The first is the queue review, that is, the troops participating in the review walk in front of the review stand.

The first unit to appear was Zhang Wenxuan's Liu Gongdao Protector, then Ye Zhichao's Lutai Defense Army, including Nie Shicheng's Wuyi Army, Zhengding Training Army, and Gubeikou Army, followed by the Beitang Defense Army of General Wu Yuren, Dai Zongqian's Sui Army stationed in Weihai, Liu Chaopei's Gong Army stationed in Qingdao, Xu Bangdao, the general soldier of Zhengding Town stationed in Liangcheng, Liu Shengxiu's Ming Army stationed in Jinzhou, the Qinqing Army of Huang Shilin, the Songwu Army stationed in Yantai, and Ding Ruchang's Beiyang Naval Division, Luo Rongguang, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin Town, stationed at Dagukou Fort.

Then there was the student army of the Wubei Academy, and finally the salt regiment of Qinchuan.

In addition to the Yan Regiment, the other Huai Army troops have a characteristic, except for more than ten slightly shorter soldiers in the team, they are all tall northern men with a water body, and from the point of view of their stature, these teams are also very neat. It's just that because of the wide and wide five-cloud coats on their bodies, they look sluggish no matter how they walk.

Qin Chuan also found a problem, that is, the rifle models of these troops are inconsistent, the military academy students, the Lutai Defense Army, the Liugongdao Protector, and the Sheng Army and Nie Shicheng's Wu Yi Army are all German-made Mauser, and the rifles of other departments are more mixed, including the British Spencer thirteen-round and seven-shot rifles, Winchester rifles, French Mini rifles, Austrian Manlixia, American Remington rifles, and even the Russian-made water Lianzhu rifle that only appeared last year, which is commonly known as the Mosin Nagant rifle, etc., what surprised Qin Chuan the most was that Song Qing's troops turned out to be armed with three models of rifles.

There was another thing that made Qin Chuan very puzzled, all the reference troops, including the student army of the Martial Arts Academy, did not have bayonets on their rifles.

Qin Chuan's feeling was that even the student army of the Martial Arts Academy, like all Qing troops in this era, did not pay attention to bayonet hand-to-hand combat training, and even thought that with the far-reaching advantage of rifles, hand-to-hand combat was meaningless. For this pedantic understanding of the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, Qin Chuan could only feel speechless.

The form of the queue review is that each department lines up to the side of the school field, and then the head of each department is commanded to walk about 30 steps in front of the school review platform, and it is better to have a neat queue and full of spirit.

The review of the Huai Army, unlike the military music accompaniment in later generations, has nothing in the review of the Huai Army, not even the sound of drums.

Because the queue review was very simple, it was carried out very quickly, and in less than half an hour, only the students of the Martial Arts Academy and the salt regiment of Qinchuan were left.

The student army in a German-style military uniform marched in a queue to accept the review of the team is very neat, and the spirit is also very sufficient, the only defect is that the team is led by a Qing army from the military academy in the costume of a four-grade military general.

When the student army walked in front of the school stage, it attracted a lot of applause, especially the German minister Klinder got up and applauded loudly and exaggeratedly, and at the same time kept talking to the British and French ministers around him with a proud expression.

Obviously, this student army, which bears the imprint of the German army, makes this German who has always been a little arrogant feel very excited.

The student army did not carry a rifle on its back like other Huai army units, but put the rifle horizontally on its chest, and walked neatly past the viewing platform with its head held high. It can be seen that Li Hongzhang's smile is heartfelt, and that smile is like a loving father looking at his beloved son.

It wasn't until the student army of the Martial Arts Academy returned to its original position and stood up that Shi Youxiang, the director of the Armed Forces Academy, who was in charge of directing the review, loudly reported the name of the salt group, and Qin Chuan knew that it was his turn to appear.

Qin Chuan turned his head and silently glanced at his group of subordinates, seeing that these young men were not only in a neat formation, but all of them had straight waists, and the rifles with bayonets were firmly broken in front of their chests, and the copper buttons and copper cockades that these young people had wiped many times last night were shining, and their hearts couldn't help but relax, and they took a deep breath and slowly turned around.

Due to Qin Chuan and his salt regiment's slow action, the troops participating in the school parade, including Li Hongzhang on the school review platform, the generals and foreign ministers from all walks of life, were a little confused, so they all turned their surprised eyes, and the already quiet school field suddenly became silent.

Qin Chuan wanted this effect, and at the moment when everyone was surprised, Qin Chuan took out the saber on his waist and raised it high, and the snow-bright saber flickered in the sun.

At the moment when Qin Chuan's saber was raised, the black and shiny military boots on the feet of more than 100 people in the Yan Regiment "banged" together, and the sound of more than 100 people's military boots colliding was just a sound. At the same time, Shi Feng raised the red silk banner in his hand with both hands, the red flag was blown by the slightly salty south wind, like a flame hula and jumped on the head of the salt group, and the fiery red battle flag glowed with a red glow in the bright sunlight, enveloping Qin Chuan and his soldiers in red light and shadow, making them seem to be bathed in red glow.

Chu Yunfei, Xu Tong, and Zhou Dajing, who were guarding the flag, also pulled out their sabers and held them upright in front of their chests while the battle flag was flying.

The bright and crisp blue-gray military uniform, the high-raised large-brimmed hat, the black military boots, the snow-white gloves, the shiny rifle and the snow-bright bayonet made this team appear in the limelight for the first time, and it was awe-inspiring.

In the shocked eyes of everyone, Qin Chuan's saber held high above his head was erected in front of his chest, and at the moment when Qin Chuan's saber fell, the soldiers in the salt regiment parade team made a "whoosh" sound, pointing the rifle with the bayonet in their hands forward, and the light and shadow of the bayonet seemed to flash countless dazzling lightning in the ranks of the salt regiment.

"Walking."

At the moment when Qin Chuan's long command fell, more than 100 pairs of shiny military boots stretched out together, and "clicked" the first trial heavy pier on the ground, with the sound of neat military boots stepping on the ground, under the leadership of Qin Chuan, the Yantuan square team began to march towards the viewing platform in a horizontal and vertical manner.

The sound of the neat and powerful stomping on the ground, like a war drum, shook the hearts of everyone inside and outside the shooting range, making people involuntarily have a heartfelt awe of this little-known salt ball.

"Good!" A loud wave of noise came from outside the venue, and it was the cheers of thousands of people who were onlookers.

This method is now used in Europe only by the German army, where it was born, in the parade, and until this time in European countries did not have this form of parade. It has been used in the German army since the Prussian era, but for some reason, the German instructors of the Armament Academy did not implement it in teaching. It is the first time that the people of Tianjin have seen this kind of majestic way of marching, how can they not applaud.

Under the guidance of Qin Chuan, who was holding a saber in his hand, the reading team of the salt regiment walked neatly to the viewing platform. Qin Chuan's gaze swept over the viewing platform, and he saw that except for Li Hongzhang, who had a serious gaze on the stage, the rest of the officials, big and small, and the foreign ministers, all of them opened their mouths in surprise and stared at the Yantuan team in a daze.

"Salute!"

As soon as he stepped into the area in front of the viewing platform, Qin Chuan gave a loud order.

As soon as the command passed, Qin Chuan's cheeks brushed the ground and turned halfway, his eyes were fixed on Li Hongzhang, and at the same time, the saber in his hand also brushed the ground diagonally and pointed at the ground on his side.

Following Qin Chuan, all the people in the salt group behind him, all of them turned their cheeks to the viewing platform in unison. The sabers of Chu Yuntao and the others were also pointed to the ground in Qin Chuan's password.

Although Li Hongzhang and the big and small officials on the stage had never seen any attention salutes, nor had they had the opportunity to enjoy such an honor, Qin Chuan's password made them all understand that this was Qin Chuan commanding his subordinates to pay tribute to them.

Qin Chuan, who was staring at Li Hongzhang closely, clearly felt a trace of appreciation flashing in Li Hongzhang's fierce eyes.
