Outside the Zhengyang Gate.
Temple of Heaven.
Emperor Yang, who was wearing a twelve-chapter robe and a twelve-crowned crown, knelt in front of the Haotian God Tablet in the sound of drums, holding incense in both hands and solemnly inserting it into the incense burner, and then retreated to the worship seat to perform three kneels and nine bows.
Well, this is a sacrifice to the heavens.
According to the procedure, he also had to incense his ancestors at the same time, but he didn't have his ancestors, and in his words, he was picked up by his master in the pile of dead, so he didn't know who his ancestors were, although his master definitely knew, but his master never said it, and probably didn't want him to know, so this was simply waived.
Originally, Huang Baijia also wanted to make up a bunch of them directly for him, anyway, those founding monarchs like to do this, it is best to make it up until the ancestor of his old Yang family is at its most glorious, for example, it is noble enough to make it up to a certain son of Emperor Wen of Sui, but the problem is that it is wrong to call Da Ming in this way, so it is simply exempt, anyway, he is an immortal descending to earth, the emperor designated by the manifestation of the gods, this itself is already noble enough, there is no need to climb another ancestor.
As for his master......
That's an immortal, and all the gods themselves have god positions here, and of course his master is also in it.
After the incense and then lay the jade silk, enter the figurine, kneel in front of the god of Haotian God to offer the knight, the musician plays music, each round of worship is different, this round has to dance and do the qi, and then Si Zhu kneels to read the blessing, and after reading Yang Feng again three kneels and nine bows. This is a worship to the god of Haotian, and then there is a sub-offering, that is, a sacrifice to other gods, including his master, and at the same time, he has to dance the feather and make the final offering. After the Guanglu Temple into the blessing, Yang Feng knelt and received the blessing of the three kneeling nine bows, and finally withdrew the food, played music, Yang Feng then performed three kneels and nine bows, the sacrifice was sent to the furnace to be burned, Yang Feng watched the burnt position, the ceremony of burning the sacrifice was officially over, and the big car returned to the palace.
In the hundreds of thousands of people kneeling in the road, Yang Feng's car drove with a full set of imperial honor guards along the newly built asphalt road, into Zhengyangmen, which is the original modern Guanghua Gate in history, and then into Daming Gate, originally called Hongwu Gate is now changed to Daming Gate, from here began to enter the imperial city, along the long royal street across the outer Wulong Bridge into Chengtianmen, which is equivalent to Beijing's Tiananmen, and then into the end of the gate, into the noon gate through the inner Wulong Bridge into Fengtianmen.
This is the official entry into the palace.
At this time, on the Dan Majesty Dan in front of the Fengtian Palace, various ceremonial guards have already been placed, and there are even various animals, which are indispensable.
Then Yang Feng turned to the back of the Huagai Hall to wait, all the civil and military ministers waited on the Fengtian Hall Dan Ma Danqi, all kinds of deacons led by Hongluqing to arrive at the Huagai Palace, saluted Yang Feng and invited the emperor to ascend to the palace, Yang Feng went out of the middle door of the Huagai Hall to the Fengtian Palace throne to sit down, the outside brocade guard suddenly threw up the net whip, the general rolled the blinds, Hongluqing shouted salute, and the civil and military officials saluted His Majesty the Emperor.
"All flat!"
Emperor Yang said with great satisfaction.
The ministers stood up.
"Xuan the tribute envoys of the vassal states to meet you!"
Immediately after that, Hongluqing shouted.
The envoys of the various vassal states of the Ming Dynasty began to visit, first of all, it was naturally the first domain of the Ming Dynasty, the envoy of the Kingdom of Goryeo, Li Zhuo simply sent his son Li Yun, in fact, there was no need to send it, Li Yun went to school at Yingtian University, so the first person to meet was the prince of Goryeo. After him is the tribute envoy of the Kingdom of Annam, Nguyen Phuc Thu also sent his son Nguyen Phuc Shu, His Royal Highness King Annam is now waiting for a decisive battle with Zheng Rebellion in the north, and he can't be slack off on the big boss behind him. After Nguyen Phuc Shu, he was a tribute envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the Shang family had no desires or desires, and they had nothing there and basically belonged to the world. Then there is the Nanyang garrison, these envoys have long been shocked by the strength of the Ming Dynasty during their visit during this time, and they are very groveling at this time.
After the envoys from nearly thirty countries in total were interviewed one by one, Emperor Yang happily chattered for five yuan, after all, it was also a special day for him to ascend the throne, and then immediately entered the next link.
"Swing the gate of heaven!"
Yang Feng waved his hand and said.
Immediately afterwards, he led the minister of civil and military affairs and a group of envoys from the subject countries, and together they went straight to Chengtianmen.
Well, his next link is a military parade.
After ascending the Chengtianmen Tower, hundreds of thousands of people waiting outside immediately bowed down to His Majesty the Emperor, Yang Feng waved to his subjects like a great man, and the specially installed loudspeaker made his voice resound throughout the square, and the latest camera, which was also specially erected, recorded his image of this moment permanently.
Since the Jiashen national disaster, the Tartars poisoned China, so that the bones of hundreds of millions of Li people are like mountains, and the blood flows into rivers, and destroy the clothes of my Han family, destroy the etiquette of my Han family, so that Suotou Hufu actually defiled the temple, the scholars compete with the foreign race to be proud of the slaves, the gods of heaven are afraid of the long past, passed down from generation to generation, the people have forgotten China and do not know their ancestors, so I ordered the lower realm to save the people, in order to continue China, look up to the gods to bless, and rely on the lives of the people, so that the mountains and rivers can reappear the light of the sun and the moon, and the living beings will revisit the grace of the gods. The disaster of Jiashen can be repeated at any time, so the heavens take me as the lord of the lower realm, and protect China from generation to generation, and I swear to the heavens that China will never be humiliated by foreign enemies, and the people will never suffer from famine, and the world will be the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the whole world will be bathed in the light of the sun and the moon!
Yang Feng shouted excitedly like a mustache.
"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"
Immediately there was a sound of prostration.
"Your Majesty, do you want to start!"
Chen Lie, chief of the general staff of the Ming army, stepped forward and saluted and asked.
"Let's get started!"
Yang Feng said.
Immediately after the three signal rockets were lifted into the air, the thirty-six salutes erected on the tower of Chengtianmen City immediately rang out, and at the same time, nine huge war drums were also beaten, accompanied by neat orders and military music in the thunderous drums, and the dragoons in full armor riding tall horses first lined up in a phalanx and marched through the square in a neat rhythm. These dragoons were deliberately added with feathers similar to hussars, long feathered headdresses were also added to the helmets on their heads, and even the war horses were put on horse armors, which looked extremely gorgeous like a river of steel, and of course, the horses in their hands were also eye-catching.
And after the dragoons, there is a whole brigade of cavalry, the same Arab horses, but there is no vest, these cavalry only have cuirasses, and they are also wearing scarlet cloaks, holding Zhangba spears in their hands, and the latest breech guns, revolvers and sabers are hung on the saddle.
Behind the cavalry brigade was an infantry brigade.
Also all wearing cuirasses, wearing helmets on their heads, carrying rear-loading rifles on their backs, the Ming army is currently fully reloading this new rifle, after the construction of two new arsenals, the monthly production capacity has reached 20,000, basically to the next round of offensive before the start of all the Ming infantry cavalry brigades will complete the redress, the same officers will also completely bid farewell to the old single-shot musket with the latest revolver, as for the eliminated front-loading guns, will be handed over to the reserve forces, the Ming reserve and reserve system has been formally established.
The Ming Standing Army will be maintained at the scale of 32 infantry brigades, 7 cavalry brigades, and 7 heavy artillery brigades, and the total strength will be 7 corps, plus various civilian personnel and some small establishments, such as local garrison armies, the total strength of the army standing army will reach 350,000. But there must be two reserve brigades in each province, and all adult men must undergo ten days of military training every year, whatever they do, and these people will be registered as reserves, so that Yang Feng can quickly recruit a million-strong army when needed.
At this time, China's population was actually not very large, and the total number of people was not even one by one, and Yang Feng's ruling area was only 50 or 60 million, 350,000 army, plus about 100,000 navy, which was already more than 400,000 standing army, and this proportion was not low.
The soldiers of an infantry brigade marched through the square in a solemn manner with orderly steps and shouting slogans.
And behind them, a heavy artillery brigade.
Heavy rocket artillery battalion, multiple rocket launcher battalion, large-caliber mortar battalion, fifteen-pound long artillery battalion, one-door scary caliber heavy rocket launcher, water tank-like mortar artillery, peculiarly shaped multiple rocket launchers, and the Ming army's iconic fifteen-pound rifled gun, which was led by the war horse in a team through the square, and the envoys of those subject countries were terrified.
And behind the heavy artillery brigade, there was another infantry brigade, and at the same time in the sky, Yang Feng's special airship flew overhead with ten small manpower airships.
"Don't be afraid, it's just my reconnaissance force."
Yang Feng looked at the frightened envoys of the subject country and said indifferently.
Except for Li Yun, none of these people have ever seen this thing, especially Yang Feng's special airship, a behemoth more than ten zhang long, and a golden dragon with teeth and claws painted on both sides, looking vivid from below, as if it could pounce from the sky at any time. The vast majority of these people are semi-civilized races who don't understand any scientific knowledge, and when they see this behemoth flying in the sky, why do they think it's a monster, one of them doesn't know what the Sultan's tribute envoy is, when the airship descends to a height and covers their heads like a cloud, they even faint in fright, making Yang Feng speechless for a while.
Of course, that's what he wants.
These guys have to be frightened so hard that they tremble when they see the Ming army, and only in this way can they honestly accept the rule.
"Your Majesty, Asahin is sick and dead!"
Just as Yang Feng was admiring his military parade, Fang Heng suddenly squeezed beside him and whispered.
"Sick and dead? I'm afraid he died of illness with a knife! He is dead and his son is gone, and if his son succeeds him, let his son's son apologize! ”
Yang Feng said with a sneer.
"Well, Your Majesty, his son Kyungin is only four years old and has no son."
Fang Heng said embarrassedly.
"Then his son will come by himself!"
Yang Feng said. (To be continued.) )
