Chapter 217: The Tang National Anthem
Li Shimin looked at the prince in front of him, his expression was a little stunned, and he was more surprised. It's been a whole month since the prince went to the craftsman village. At the beginning, Li Feng said in his letter that the period of January is the appointed time.
"How did the fourth brother do it, in just one month, can he really make a person change so much?"
Li Chengqian is much darker and thinner than before he went. However, this is not the point. The most important thing is that his temperament is very different from before he went. makes Li Shimin a little hard to believe, this is his crown prince.
In the past, every time Li Chengqian saw him, he lowered his head, hunched his waist, and looked decadent. And now, standing there, his waist straightened, and his head was not lowered, but he began to look directly at himself. On the obviously dark and thin face, there was a resolute look. It is full of a tenacious temperament.
"Enlighten the father, and the sons will come back to give their father an errand."
"Okay, good, this time, it didn't go in vain, and it didn't disappoint my father. I've been there for a month, and I've suffered a lot."
Just looking at Li Chengqian's change, Li Shimin didn't need to ask at all, he knew that there would definitely be no problems with this errand. Seeing Li Chengqian's much darker and thinner face, Li Shimin asked for the first time.
"Thank you, father, for your concern, Erchen is at the fourth uncle's place, and he is doing well. When the son comes back this time, in addition to being like his father, he also has one more thing to report to his father."
Hearing Li Shimin ask about the situation in Jianghu Village, Li Chengqian's expression did not change much. Nor did he complain, though in one month he had suffered more than he had done before. However, he didn't feel bitter at all, but felt that day. Very comfortable and down-to-earth.
When he left this morning, looking at the school, and those thatched houses, everything, he actually felt reluctant. Moreover, almost all of them feel the same way as him.
There is no bitterness in the heart, but bitterness in the body. It's just a matter of lying on the bed.
"Oh, the prince still has something, let's talk about it"
Seeing that Li Chengqian looked pampered and not surprised, Li Shimin was even more surprised in his heart, and of course he was even happier. Merely. But he was even more curious, what did Li Feng do to make the prince have such a big change. However, when he heard that Li Chengqian had something to report, he suppressed the curiosity in his heart and asked him to speak first.
Subsequently, Li Chengqian put the things he had said with Li Ke and Qin Huaiyu before. He spoke to Li Shimin in detail. I have to say that Li Chengqian is still very kind-hearted, and he is completely truthful, and he does not hide their credit because Li Ke and the others did not come.
In order to let Li Shimin understand more clearly. He even explained in detail many important things from the beginning of military training to the end.
Li Shimin listened all the way and finally understood. Why did the prince change so much, people just don't take the prince seriously. After such a period of hard training. This person's words and deeds naturally form a habit. No wonder this prince has changed so much.
However, after hearing Li Chengqian's account, he could also clearly understand the hardships that Li Chengqian had endured. This made him even more surprised, it was incredible that this prince could hold on to such a day. Thinking of this, his gaze at Li Chengqian softened a lot.
"Oh, those students, and soldiers, I think you should also bring them with you, let's go, I want to see with my own eyes, what kind of magical effect this so-called military training has."
After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin already understood a little bit of the truth in this. It's just that if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe it after all. And even if Li Chengqian said so, he must have been ready for a long time. Therefore, Li Shimin immediately proposed to go and inspect it in person.
"Yes, Father, those students, and those soldiers are already in the school field outside, and I ask Father to move and go to inspect."
Hearing that Li Shimin was going to inspect it, although Li Chengqian had expected this to happen, he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart. He believed that as long as Li Shimin finished reading them, especially after listening to their military songs, he would definitely agree to this matter.
"See the Emperor"
Seeing that the crown prince really invited the emperor, those people immediately saluted one by one. Although I was excited in my heart, I didn't show it on my face.
"No need to be polite, I just heard the prince mention the military training you learned in the craftsman village, so I came here to watch it. Prince, let's get started, I can't wait. ”
Li Shimin was quite easy-going, and he didn't say much, and went straight to the topic. He really had some expectations for what magical effect Li Feng's so-called military training would have. For this fourth brother, who is becoming more and more extraordinary, he is becoming more and more incomprehensible.
"The retainers take the order."
"All of them are there, stand upright....... take a break, look to the right, and report the number ......"
As Li Chengqian's orders were given one by one, the people below began to move in small steps, and all of a sudden, they formed a neat and tidy square. Then, a quick and loud number announcement sounded.
"Report, all 120 members, all are available, there is no absence, please instruct"
In Jianghu Village, in the later stage of military training, Li Feng handed over all these tasks to Li Chengqian. First, he was the crown prince, and the people below listened to him, but his legs were sick, and he couldn't exercise too much. Of course, the most important thing is that in this way, Li Feng can be lazy.
As soon as the team was assembled, Li Chengqian reflexively asked for instructions on what to do next. However, this request was immediately dumbfounded, and then I remembered that this was his father, not his fourth uncle, and the request was a fart. The emperor is just a spectator. However, the words are spoken, and there is no way to take them back.
"Oh...... There is no need to ask for instructions, everything is up to the crown prince"
Li Shimin was also stunned, but after seeing Li Chengqian's expression, he understood a little, and then he said directly.
After that, under Li Chengqian's command, the team began to demonstrate, walking in unison, walking in steps, etc. Especially when he was walking, there were bursts of neat and loud footsteps, accompanied by a neat square team, which made Li Shimin's eyes light up when he saw it. Looking at the team again, the serious and solemn expressions on everyone's faces shocked him even more.
"It's so imposing, it's really imposing. Such a neat team, such a neat and loud footsteps. This is only a hundred and ten people, if you replace thousands of infantry, this solemn atmosphere alone, like a rainbow-like momentum, can make the enemy three points weaker. I didn't expect that such a simple thing could have such an effect, not simple, not simple. ”
Li Shimin is an expert in leading troops to fight, and when fighting, momentum is very important. A strong momentum can often make the other side weaker by three points. If you are afraid, how can you not be weak.
"The wolf smoke rises and the mountains look north, the dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword qi is like frost........."
Just when Li Shimin sighed at the extraordinary momentum of this phalanx, a loud singing voice rang out. Suddenly, the already strong momentum became even more fanatical. Listening to it, it suddenly made Li Shimin feel a burst of blood boiling. He couldn't help but recall the situation when he fought in the Quartet.
Subsequently, the entire palace was filled with this blood-boiling song. Let everyone start to listen carefully, and then, one by one, they are also full of enthusiasm.
The Tang Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty in Chinese history, but it was also the dynasty with the most wars in Chinese history. The Tang Dynasty's war for internal unification, let's not talk about it. Just looking at his foreign wars, it is jaw-dropping. It can be said that war is the most important theme song throughout the history of the Tang Dynasty.
Especially during the period of Zhenguan in the early Tang Dynasty, the war almost never stopped. There have been wars with all the surrounding countries, and some of them have fought again and again.
In this era full of war, people's blood is originally hot, and when listening to a song of loyalty to the country, how can it be that people's blood is boiling.
"Good, good, really good, really like a rainbow. Such a neat and unified queue, coupled with such a song that swallows mountains and rivers. I believe that in the future, the mere hearing of this song will scare the enemies on the battlefield. Prince, tell me quickly, who composed this song, and what is its name?"
After the singing stopped and the drill was over, Li Shimin came back to his senses for a long time. Then, I was so excited that I shouted a few times. It can be seen how excited he was at this time, and then immediately asked Li Chengqian about the situation of this song.
"Father, this song is called Loyal to the Country. It is the military song we sang when we were training, and this is also what the instructor taught us, well, the instructor is also the fourth uncle."
Li Shimin's excited expression also surprised Li Chengqian for a while. He knew very well that his father was moody. However, after hearing Li Shimin's question, he also answered truthfully, but the fourth uncle in the back was very quiet.
"Oh....... Jing is loyal to the country, what a name. The song is good, and the name is even better. The military song, the song of the army, is also appropriate, but, in my opinion. This song is not only suitable for the army, everyone who is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty should be able to sing this song. Therefore, this song can be called the national anthem of my Datang Dynasty, which is more appropriate. ”
When Li Shimin heard it, this was actually made by Li Feng, but after thinking about it carefully, it was right, wasn't that white fox written by him. It's just that Li Shimin felt that the military song was too narrow, so he directly upgraded this loyal service to the country to the national anthem.
