Pang Yue received the holy decree and immediately began to arrange the expedition. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

All units of the army in Huguang Town, except for the first garrison battalion left behind in Yuezhou, the second garrison battalion and the teaching battalion stayed in Chenzhou, and the sailor Yangwei battalion stayed in Dongting, the rest of the battalions were all dispatched. Including the Yuezhou and Yongding battalions, the total strength of land and water reached more than 40,000.

Since Huguang Town had entered a state of combat readiness in an all-round way more than two months ago, everything that should have been prepared was almost ready, so the actions of the whole army at this time could be called vigorous and resolute. From receiving the order to the departure of the whole army, it took only two days.

After starting from Chenzhou, 40,000 troops marched by land and water, all the way mighty, the flag covered the sky, often de, through Dongting, arrived in Yuezhou, and then turned to the south, through Changsha towards the direction of Hengzhou.

The reason why he went to Hengzhou was because Emperor Longwu had another will, and he would personally inspect the three armies of Huguang Town in Xingdu to prepare for the expedition. At that time, the Manchu courtiers and workers in Xingdu will also go to watch together.

Emperor Longwu's intention of such an arrangement, Pang Yue could also guess a thing or two. First, it may indeed be for the sake of the soldiers of the three armies. Second, it is estimated that it is also to consolidate his authority and deter those who hide in the shadows.

But no matter what his true intentions were, Pang Yue complied with the order. The emperor's mental tricks and the disputes between the court and China, he didn't want to think about it for the time being, and all he thought about was how to fight the battle in front of him.

When the army arrived in Hengzhou, the whole line was a sensation.

Whether it is the officials of the DPRK and China, the garrison in the city, or the common people, they all have to marvel at the neatness of the military appearance and the advantages of the armor in Huguang Town.

In the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Longwu inspected the officers and soldiers of the three armies of Huguang Town in the south of the city, and ordered the officials above the fourth grade in the city to watch the parade together.

At that time, the sky was clear and the sky was cloudless. On the school grounds, the military flag hunts. The soldiers of Huguang Town, who were ready to be reviewed, lined up in a neat phalanx, solemn and majestic, and the military was majestic.

Most of the ministers of the DPRK and China present were shocked and surprised when they saw this. Although most of them had seen the military appearance of Huguang Town before, Huguang Town at this time was not the same as it was at the beginning.

When the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army who accompanied the escort of the holy car saw it, they couldn't help but feel ashamed. Originally, as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven personally selected and formed by Emperor Longwu, the generals were not not strong, and their armor and weapons were not excellent. Unexpectedly, today in front of the soldiers of Huguang Town...... Not to mention the armor and weapons, they fell behind in momentum alone. Looking at the neat phalanxes on the opposite side, the murderous aura that vaguely shrouded the air above the phalanx, they realized how far they were from the real Tiger Ben Division.

"Pang Aiqing is like a god in using soldiers, and governing the army is also a must, if I can have a few more elite soldiers like this, why worry about the great cause of Zhongxing?" Emperor Longwu was obviously very satisfied, and said with a smile.

Pang Yue didn't dare to do it, and he was very modest.

Emperor Longwu smiled and motioned to Pang Yue to order the soldiers on the school field to start the drill.

But Pang Yue stood still and did not give the order immediately.

"Pang Aiqing, what's the matter? Why not give the order? Emperor Longwu felt a little strange.

The surrounding ministers were even more surprised.

Facing a series of surprised and surprised eyes, Pang Yue solemnly saluted, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty." Huguang Town is the army of the Ming Dynasty and the army of the Son of Heaven. When the expedition is out, of course, it can be ordered by Weichen. But in front of His Majesty, how dare Weichen trespass. ”

After speaking, he raised his hands above his head and bowed down to hand over the order flag.

Hearing this, the reaction of the crowd was mixed.

Huang Daozhou, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Fu Guan, the second assistant, were expressionless and calm. Lu Zhenfei, the secretary of the ministry, was thoughtful. Zhu Dadian, the secretary of the military department, was holding a white beard, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

There were also some ministers that Pang Yue didn't know, or their faces were gloomy, their brows were shrunken, or their faces were faintly disdainful and smiling. It is estimated that he scolded "riddler" and "flattery is almost shameless" in his heart.

"Hahaha...... That's fine! Emperor Longwu took over the Lingqi happily.

Pang Yue could see that Emperor Longwu was happy from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps in his eyes, whether he was pretentious or true feelings, the statement just now was what he always wanted. Otherwise, he would not have deliberately inspected the three armies in Xingdu before the army set out to conquer Jiangxi, and also ordered all the ministers of the court and China to come and watch the parade together.

Subsequently, Emperor Longwu personally ordered. The soldiers of Huguang Town on the scene began to exercise.

Since it was the Son of Heaven who personally inspected it, the safety of the holy driver was more dangerous than the sky. Therefore, the bows and the like in the army were no longer carried, and the firearms, rocket cars, and artillery trucks were also strictly inspected by the Imperial Forest Army and the Jinyi Guard, and they were absolutely not loaded with gunpowder and live ammunition.

And, taking into account the limited space. Of course, it was impossible for all the tens of thousands of troops in Huguang Town to come, but a part of them was drawn from each battalion and the battalion flag was raised as a representative, and the total number was only two or three thousand.

But even so, the momentum and military prestige have not diminished in the slightest.

A phalanx walked in front of the reviewing stand. The Flying Tiger Battalion is bright and energetic; The trapped camp is like a forest of armor and spears, like a moving steel castle; The steel front battalion is clearly armored, and the army is strictly organized......

The most surprising thing is the new rocket vehicles equipped by the Flame Battalion, each with only a long, pointed cylindrical object. At that time, Pang Yue ordered the manufacture of a new type of rocket developed by the General Administration according to the principle of the later Congreve rocket. At present, the technology still needs to be improved, and the lethality cannot be compared with the real Congreve rocket. But there is no problem in using it to deter and disrupt enemy formations.

Of course, laymen don't know the principle, they just think that this big guy is daunting, and the lethality is definitely not small.

In addition, there were nine- and twelve-pound heavy field artillery wagons, each pulled by multiple horses as they walked past the reviewing stand. The huge cannon body and the black hole of the cannon caused a burst of exclamations.

When reviewing the three armies, Pang Yue stood next to Emperor Longwu, and every time he walked a battalion of soldiers and horses, he introduced them one by one. Emperor Longwu was very satisfied with what he saw and heard, and he couldn't stop nodding.

After the parade ended, that night, Pang Yue received an edict from Emperor Longwu from the eunuch in the palace, asking him to enter the palace to face the saint.

Pang Yue did not delay, let the eunuch lead the way, and went directly to the palace.

After entering the palace, I met Emperor Longwu in a warm pavilion next to the main hall.

"Wechen knocks to see Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

"Pang Aiqing is flat, don't be polite, sit down."

After Pang Yue got up, he found that there was a chair next to Emperor Longwu, and a small child was sitting.

I saw that the child was about two or three years old, chubby, with a strand of fetal hair hanging down his forehead, but he also wore a golden crown on his head, a python robe, a jade belt around his waist, and two small hands on his knees, sitting straight. A pair of big black eyes were looking curiously. (To be continued.) )
