On April 13, the 17th year of Chongzhen, the sky was slightly bright, there were many people gathered on the edge of the big church field in the northeast of the town, as time went by, more and more people came over, and finally the crowd was crowded, the voices were boiling, and the small flag waving in each person's hand fluttered like a sea.

Because of the early propaganda, the people of Xuanfu Town knew that today was the date to send troops, so they got up early, gathered around the teaching ground, and crowded on both sides of the road. There are more and more of them, and every quarter of an hour, the number of people who increase is counted in tens of thousands. Men, women, old people, children, all with flags in their hands. Many people also wore swords. They spread from the road to the west of the Great Church Yard to the road to the east.

Xuanfu Town Dajiao Field is located in the northeast of the town, with two gates, and the soldiers who go out at the time of the expedition naturally enter from the west, go out from the east, and then walk from the road. Therefore, everyone crowded around the corresponding road, hoping to witness the majestic posture of the soldiers who went out to fight.

Many people even got up in the middle of the night to take their seats, and many people from outside the town arrived, hoping to witness the majestic posture of the soldiers who went out, so that they could wave their flags and shout for them to see them off. They also rushed to Xuanfu Town a few days in advance, filling up large and small inns, hotels, and inns inside.

Today's weather is fine, with occasional rains in April of the lunar calendar, but the dawn is early today, indicating a sunny day for this day, or for the next few days.

As time passed, more and more people came to wait, and the crowd soon reached an incomparable size. By the time it was time, there were already a sea of people around the big church, the sea of flags fluttering, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Zheng Tianmin didn't sleep well last night, and like him, he couldn't sleep well with most of the C-class soldiers in the team. Everyone only felt as if their chests were weighed down by heavy objects, and their hearts were pounding from time to time. It's going to be a military parade, it's going to go on a campaign, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Only the officers of the team, as well as the first and first division commanders who are also the deputy of the team, are all veterans who have been transferred from the first and second classes to serve as officers, and this kind of scene is commonplace. Still as calm as ever, as busy as usual, sleeping soundly and eating comfortably.

Zheng Tianmin even saw that he was still cold-faced, as if he owed him thousands of silver yuan. General Liu Lie, simple, always had an inexplicable trace of sadness in his eyes, and it seemed that this honest officer also had something unspeakably sad in his heart.

Zheng Tianmin's department belongs to the second department of the front battalion of the Suzaku Army, the thousand general Ju Yiwu, and the battalion general Li Zhengjing. There is also a thousand total Han Kaihui, three thousand general Chen Sheng, and four thousand general Mu Dachang.

After the second department arrived in Xuanfu Town, it was stationed in a place called Tugou, three miles away from the Great Church. At the very beginning of the hour they got up, ate, and put their equipment in order. Then the whole battalion gathered, and finally paraded, set off at about the hour, and then today they had to walk more than 100 miles, and arrived at Huailaiwei in the evening to rest.

After walking for two more days, I rushed to Juyong Pass.

The breakfast food is still so rich, if Zheng Tianmin and others have any nostalgia for joining the camp, then the food in the camp must be one of them.

In recent years, although life in the fort has been much better, it is not possible to eat meat as often as in the camp.

Two days ago, Zheng Tianmin and others all felt like they were eating, but today everyone was a little unpleasant, but it was because they were nervous.

After Zheng Tianmin had breakfast, the subordinates entered the final preparations, and the large belongings of each soldier were put into the baggage wagons of the general subordinates, such as their backpacks with blankets, etc., and then they sorted out their equipment and checked their armor and equipment.

There are four teams in the Jingbian Army, two pike teams and two fire gun teams, Zheng Tianmin's team belongs to the fire gun team, his armor is no different from the spear team, they are all eight-petal hat iron pointed helmets, stamping cuirass, and then he has a sword hanging on the right side of his belt.

On the right side of the leaning body is also a leather medicine bag, which contains 30 rounds of fixed cartridge ammunition, and there are soft cloth inside, maintenance oil for firearms, some spare flints, and so on. On the left side of the body, he carries a kettle diagonally on his back, which is usually used for drinking water.

Zheng Tianmin because of his good performance, belongs to the second class A chief, under the order of the Zhou team officer in the team, he carefully checked the self-generated fire gun in his hand, pulled the dragon head to the position to be fired, deducted the plate machine a few times, and saw that the fire rate was fine, so he did not change the flint.

He drew his sword and looked at it, took out the soft cloth, and swiped it a few more times, making the metallic light shine even brighter.

Then he inspected the condition of the sergeants in the first rank, and in the middle of the hour they began to assemble, and all of them were gathered on the threshing floor, in a row of five, and in a row of five, standing in a column of one group. This is the standard marching column of the Jingbian Army.

When we arrived at the Dajiao Stadium and displayed the military parade, it was a column of 50 people, and then a column of 10,000 people and 200 columns was completed.

People say that there are more than 10,000 people, boundless and boundless, but in fact, standing in a phalanx does not occupy much area, and the 10,000-person phalanx is only a hundred people horizontally and a hundred people vertically. If you really want to stand, one square kilometer can stand 16 million people.

Qian Zongju Yiwu, the four generals of the second department, as well as the thousand general headquarters, each general headquarters and officials were waiting on the threshing floor early, the bright red thousand general flag and the general flag hunted and flew in the morning breeze, and the Vermilion Bird pattern on it loomed in the whisking.

The general report and the number of people verified by the suppression were all there, Ju Yiwu still had a cold face, and he only said two words on it: "Sword!" ”

The Chinese army shouted: "Sword! ”

Then the officers of the various divisions, teams, and armor shouted together: "Get on the sword!" ”

A metal clang, all the soldiers took out their swords and put them on the trap, and after Zheng Tianmin drank it, he also took out his sword and put it on.

The cold light on the threshing floor shone brightly, and the sharp armor-piercing spears and sharp swords glittered in the morning light, indicating the sharpness of this army.

"Gun on the shoulder!"

The officers shouted again, and there was another neat metal rattle.

Ju Yiwu finally said: "Let's go." ”

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, the foot drum was beaten, and with the passionate drum music, the sergeants stepped on the drum and began to advance.

They were the first to have a thousand general flags, then the golden drums, silk and bamboo hands, each person in the department, and then the general flag of each general, followed by the sergeants in the general, all in a column of five, walking on the country road, their sergeants were about one hundred and sixty columns, and in the walking, a neat iron helmet swayed.

Then the four of them gathered, and the battalion of the fifth battalion opened the way, and the battalion flag was indeed much more magnificent than the thousand general flag.

Soon, they walked up the road from the town to the Great Church, where there was already a tide of people, and the sound of their drums was covered by the sound of boiling people, and the road was densely packed with people, and in the crowd, waving flags like a sea......

After Zheng Tianmin and the others entered the teaching field, the tension and apprehension in their hearts had long disappeared, and they entered their designated position, and merged one army after another, and merged into a team of fifty people. Then I turned around, and I saw that on the opposite side of the teaching field, there was also a sea of people, full of people watching the ceremony and seeing them off, they screamed with emotion, and the sea of fiery red flags fluctuated and fluttered from time to time.

Zheng Tianmin looked left and right, and there were countless sergeants wearing armor and hats like him, looking around, rolling like a tide, like a long stream of iron rivers.

Zheng Tianmin's Suzaku military array consisted of about 25,000 people, one first-class army, one second-class army, three third-class troops, and hussars and chasseurs. The first and second armies plus these cavalrymen all had horses, and at this time they all dismounted and waited for the horses to stand solemnly.

In a column of 50 people, these sergeants add up to more than 400 columns, and they are facing each other horizontally, and there are army and battalions gathered on the teaching ground. Looking left and right, the iron helmet fluttering red tassels seemed to spread endlessly.

In such a group, there is only blood boiling and breath full of strength.

Xuanfu Town is known as the "head of the nine towns" and is known as the "Nine Sides Chong to count Xuanfu". The Zhencheng Church is even more famous, Xu Weige said: "The Xuanfu Church is heard all over the world, and all the peaks and peaks are in the clouds. Don't use a bow and knife to line up tigers, and are born with swords and halberds to support generals. ”

What is commendable is that the town hall is very large, and there is no problem with a million people gathering inside, and as time goes by, more and more military horses gather, and the crowd is getting more and more crowded, and the iron armor on the soldiers is constantly reflecting the golden cold light in the rising morning light.

……

At the beginning of the Chen Dynasty, Wang Douhui and his generals came to Xuanfu Town, Ji Shiwei, the governor of Xuanda, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, and others, and the prince of the prison country together to worship Li Banghua, Zhu Zhifeng, Wei Jingyu, Cai Maode, Ma Guoxi and other martyred ministers in the Qunying Temple.

After the martyrdom of Li Banghua and others on the same day, Wang Douyan said: "Loyal ministers and righteous men should be remembered from generation to generation." ”

Originally, Xuanfu Town and various places had a discussion on whether to set up temples for the martyr ministers, and after Wang Dou spoke, he established the Qunying Temple on the original site, and there will be a grand worship ceremony every year in the future.

The major events of the country, in the worship and Rong, sacrifice is very important, this is China, this is one of the foundations of the Han nation for thousands of years.

In this expedition, in addition to worshiping the Qunying Temple in advance, after the army set off, Wang Dou and others will go to the Baozhong Temple and Yimin Temple in Shunxiangbao, Baoan Prefecture to worship. With a big sacrifice, with solemnity and grandeur, do not forget the meaning of the sages and martyrs.

After worshipping the Qunying Temple, Wang Dou and the prince rode their horses to the Great Church, they went out from the north gate of the town and entered the church from the west gate. When his flag appeared in the eyes of the people, it was a whistling sound like the sky was falling apart, countless people desperately crowded and shouted, and the flags of the sun, moon and waves flew like a sea.

All the way by, the sound of "Wansheng" resounded and stopped the clouds, countless swords and swords were drawn to greet Wang Douren and others, and the cold light of the swords and the wave of flags seemed to spread to the sky.

Wang Dou smiled and waved his hand, the sound like a tsunami made the prince's face flush, and he kept waving to the people like Wang Dou.

Chen Xinjia, Ji Shiwei and others are okay, those foreign officials who came to Xuanfu Town were all stunned when they saw this situation. Where have they seen this tide of power? Everyone was excited, frightened, excited, and overwhelmed.

However, watching Wang Dou wave his hand, many people also waved like Wang Dou.

Fortunately, although the crowd was excited, the people of Xuanfu Town were used to obeying the order, but they did not pounce on it, causing an inextricable chaos.

When Wang Dou and the others entered the teaching ground, the sea of military horse phalanx was overwhelming, representing the infinite mighty power. Wang Dou rode his horse through the military formation, with the soldiers under his command standing solemnly and reverently on one side, and the sea of flags fluttering on the other, countless people under his rule screaming excitedly.

His heart swelled with pride, ten years of life and hard work, and he finally had the capital to implement his ideals and ambitions.

This feeling of fate finally being in our hands is so happy and beautiful, so delicious.

It's hard to describe what it feels like in words.

Wang Dou and others went to the martial arts stage, and first hundreds of thousands of people in the teaching field sang the song of Xuanfu Town "Song of the Emperor of Heaven": "Mighty God, care for my Emperor Ming, the great life is set, and the glory is solid." Ji Ben Yi He, Yude Spring Palace, Ji Zhi Yi He, vassal state Yining. Qingyan Baishi, Ze was born in groups, long live the thousand autumns, and become a permanent view. ”

God, Haotian God, Haotian Jinque Supreme Supreme Nature Miao Mi Luo to the true Jade Emperor God, also known as the Jade Emperor. Lord of the gods, the beginning of all things, endless majesty, endless mystery. Every dynasty established must claim to inherit the will of heaven and obey the appointment of God Haotian, so as to represent the divine authority of the monarch and be appointed by heaven.

Everyone sang the song of the Emperor of Heaven in unison, the song resounded through the sky, flying in the wind, the prince and the officials felt the power of this shock, and they couldn't help singing along with it.

After singing, Wang Dou looked at the countless phalanx soldiers below, the iron flow was endless, and the ups and downs of the national fortune had surged in front of him, and his heart surged with agitated emotions, and he shouted to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers below: "Gentlemen, I am determined to send troops to destroy the thieves, are you willing to fight with me?" ”

"I am willing to kill the thief with the general!"

The majestic roar refracted along the echo wall of the teaching field, and the sound was passionate and long, as if it resounded through the sky. (To be continued.) )
