Chapter 136: "Reassurance" (Part 2)

Zhao Anyi's request was somewhat unexpected by Wang Kunjun and others, and everyone did not expect that a literati on the other side would be interested in the armed Liliang under the command of the Beiping Army. The brothers glanced at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Wang Kunjun, waiting to hear how he responded-after all, Zhao Anyi asked for the grace of the lord, and the others were inconvenient to answer at this time. Although Zhao Anyi's request was a bit sudden, considering that it would not hurt to let the other party see the might of the Beiping Army, and the other party also knew about the last time Xu Xinsheng visited the various departments of the Beiping Army, it didn't seem reasonable to let Zhao Anyi get close this time. Therefore, after only thinking about it for a while, and making quick eye contact with the brothers, Wang Kunjun waved his hand and said, "What's so difficult about this." Since Mr. Zhao has this elegance, there is no reason for this section to be inaccurate. According to the schedule, the Northern Expeditionary Army will arrive in Beiping City on September 28, that is, tomorrow, and will hold a medal and military parade ceremony at the military ground in the city the next day. At that time, Mr. Zhao and Commander Xu were able to go to the ceremony with our brothers. ”

"Thank you, Lord Envoy." Zhao Anyi got up and saluted when he heard this.

On the afternoon of September 28 of the lunar calendar of the eighth year of Xiande, the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army of more than 15,000 people arrived in Beiping City under the leadership of Zeng Zhilin and Mutel. Including Wang Kunjun and other four committee members, all the traversers in Beiping City went to Beicheng to meet them ten miles outside the Tongtian Gate of Beicheng. Due to the enlarged meeting of the committee to be held on the first day of the tenth lunar month after the military parade, many of the travelers who were originally serving outside rushed back, so the scale of the crossing crowd who came to greet Zeng and Mu was considerable, which also moved Zeng and Mu and felt that there was light on their faces.

After the welcoming team entered the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army, on the one hand, they rewarded the three armies, and on the other hand, they took Zeng and Mu and some of the representatives of the generals to the city to wash their dust - according to the military regulations of the crossing team, except for the soldiers and horses stationed in the city, all foreign troops were not allowed to enter the city unless they had the permission of the general army of the town, but could only camp outside the city. Among them, foreign soldiers and horses stationed in Beiping City require the approval of the committee and the military department before entering the city.

Since I had to participate in the military parade the next day, the banquet held in the Jiedu Mansion that night was not long, and the banquet ended before the end of the day, and everyone went to rest. So much so that Zhao Anyi, who was allowed to participate in the banquet, wanted to talk more with Zeng, Mu and other generals of the Beiping Army, learn more about the situation of the soldiers and horses of the Beiping Army, and find out more about when the Beiping Army would march north again, but he did not find a suitable opportunity.

The next day, on the morning of the 29th day of the ninth lunar month of the eighth year of Xiande, the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which had been approved by the committee and the Military Department, under the leadership of Zeng Zhilin and Muter, who had left the city again in the early morning, also entered Beiping City through Tongtianmen, and passed through the streets and alleys of Beiping City with a neat queue and a strict military appearance, and arrived at the military field of the Beiping City School, the site of the military parade.

The military field of Beiping City School is the polo field in the palace city of the original Khitan Nanjing Palace. After the establishment of the Beiping Army, the purpose of this former Khitan Emperor's palace also changed. Outside the palace and on the north side of the palace, the palace part of the palace was used as the internal park of the Beiping Army, for the crossing team members, relatives and local officials to play; Some of the houses and polo fields on the south side of Miyagi were converted into military garrisons and school grounds, which were the venue for this military parade.

The main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army entered the city from the Tongtian Gate, and went straight along the straight street to the Zibei Gate of the original palace. After entering the north gate, the army went around the outer city of Miyagi to the south side, entered the school military field from the south gate of Miyagi, and waited in line according to the predetermined position.

After the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army entered the military field of the school for about a pillar of incense, Wang Kunjun and other four committee members, all the other traversers in Beiping City, officials of the Beiping Military Jiedu Mansion and the Beiping Mansion, as well as Xu Xinsheng and Zhao Anyi, who participated in the parade as special guests, also walked out of the Wansheng Hall on the north side and climbed onto the parade platform on the south side of the main hall in turn.

Because it was to participate in the military parade, including Wang Kunjun, Xu Shaoan and others, all the crossing team members with military positions on the parade platform appeared in front of the army in military uniforms this time. Unlike Xu Xinsheng, who is a traverser and has visited the various departments of the Beiping Army when he visited the north last time, and has no special feeling for this kind of clothing similar to the military uniform of the previous life and the weapons and equipment in the hands of the Beiping Army, Zhao Anyi, who is the first time to get close to the combat troops of the Beiping Army and the first time to see Wang Kunjun and Xu Shaoan in military uniforms, is surprised by the style worn by the other party, but the cut is very fitting and makes the wearer look very spiritual. He was full of curiosity and questions about the various unheard of and unseen weapons and equipment placed in the hands and around the soldiers of the Beiping Army, and asked Xu Xinsheng around him again and again if there was any mystery in them - as a guest, Zhao Anyi felt that it was impolite and undesirable to ask the host about military matters, especially questions that might involve the secrets of the other party, so the object of his inquiry naturally fell on Xu Xinsheng, who had close contact with the combat units of the Beiping Army and was a military general during his last visit to the north.

Although he had watched a mighty military parade on TV no more than once in his previous life, and although he was a senior officer of the "Shenji Army" in this life, he could see the strict phalanxes composed of the main force of the Beiping Army's Northern Expedition in front of him, looking at the majestic appearance of the soldiers of the Beiping Army, feeling the murderous aura exuded by these soldiers who had been in battle and seen blood, and the dazzling light reflected by the golden stars on the epaulettes of the senior generals of the Beiping Army around him, Xu Xinsheng was still shocked. I was infected, I was attracted. Therefore, when Zhao Anyi whispered to him about the new military uniforms of the Beiping Army, as well as the various strange weapons that he had never heard of or seen, Xu Xinsheng explained to him with a sense of admiration and yearning, and chose to explain to him - although he has not yet officially become a member of the crossing team, Xu Xinsheng, who has long been yearning for this organization, is still very measured in his heart, and knows what to say to Zhao Anyi and what not to tell him.

However, since he admires and yearns for it, Xu Xinsheng will inevitably add some personal feelings and exaggerate and interpret some aspects when explaining -- for example, the range and lethality of Beiping weapons. Especially when it comes to the back, when comparing the Beiping Army with the "Shenji Army", Xu Xinsheng even used the comment that "the quality of individual soldiers and the 'Shenji Army' are inferior, and the weapons and equipment are worlds apart". As the saying goes, "the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional", Xu Xinsheng just subconsciously praised the strength of the Beiping Army, but not only convinced Zhao Anyi, but also made the other party secretly rejoice, glad that with his own efforts, he preserved the bilateral relationship of peaceful coexistence between the Zhao Group and the Beiping Army, and was glad that with his own efforts, the Beiping Army did not ask for a sky-high price in terms of the prerequisites for not sending troops to the south, and was glad that he was able to become one of the members of the northbound visit, and made great contributions with his ability to communicate with people. So as to win a place for himself in the Zhao Group.

Just when Zhao Anyi was looking forward to his "bright" future there, the military parade on the school military field had officially begun. First of all, Zeng Zhilin, commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army of the Northern Expedition, and Mutelce, deputy commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition, stepped forward to report the general course and detailed results of the Northern Expedition to Wang Kunjun and other committee members (Jiedu Mansion) on the parade platform. Subsequently, Wang Kunjun congratulated all the officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army on behalf of the committee (Jiedu Mansion), and read out the list of meritorious service recipients drawn up by the Military Department and approved by the committee. Immediately afterwards, Wang Kunjun and Xu Shaoan, members of the committee and the top and deputy commanders of the "Flying Dragon Army" and "Security Army," and Qian Yuanshan and Zeng Zhilin, the chief and deputy directors of the Military Department, respectively presented awards and awards to those meritorious personnel who had made great contributions and won higher medals on behalf of the Committee (Jiedu Prefecture) and the Military Department (the "Flying Dragon Army" were both in command of the embassy). After the award ceremony and medal ceremony, it was time for the highlight of the military parade, the parade and the parade -- Wang Kunjun, accompanied by Qian Yuanshan and Zeng Zhilin, inspected the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and together with others, watched the majestic and sonorous parade on the parade platform.

If before watching the entire parade ceremony, Zhao Anyi was only amazed by the quality of individual soldiers and weapons and equipment of the Beiping Army because of Xu Xinsheng's introduction, then as the parade ceremony progressed, he felt more and more shocked and excited. Zhao Anyi was deeply shocked by the achievements of the Northern Expedition of the Beiping Army in this Northern Expedition, the mighty formation during the parade, and the kind of murderous atmosphere given to people when they passed through the parade platform in a separate manner. And Wang Kunjun said when reading out the congratulatory message, "This northern expedition is only the first step in the crusade against the Khitan, after some serious preparations, the Beiping army will soon carry out the second and even third northern expedition, until the recovery of all the Han and Tang Dynasty homeland, the restoration of our Chinese mountains and rivers" The content made Zhao Anyi even more excited in shock. This is because compared with the vague hints and slightly ambiguous expressions used by Wang Kunjun in his talks with him, this sentence from the congratulatory speech is more straightforward and direct, and it can also better express the true thoughts of Wang Kunjun and others -- telling lies on such a large occasion and in front of tens of thousands of officers and men under his command will make Wang Kunjun and other leaders of the Beiping Army lose their trust in the officers and men of the Beiping Expeditionary Army, the officers and men of the Beiping Army, the officers and officials of Beiping, the people of the Beiping Army, and finally the people of the Beiping Army, and finally lose their trust in the world, which they will never do.

If before watching the entire military parade, Zhao Anyi still had doubts about Wang Kunjun and the promise that the Beiping Army would continue the northern expedition and would not interfere in the south, then after listening to Wang Kunjun's congratulatory speech and reading the determination and expectation expressed to his commander when those meritorious service recipients came to the stage to receive the award, these doubts were swept away, and they were replaced by full confidence and ardent expectations. In other words, it was only at this time that the stone in Zhao Anyi's heart really fell to the ground, and the "reassuring pill" that Wang Kunjun hoped he would eat could be regarded as completing its first journey and successfully reaching Zhao Anyi's stomach. Subsequently, this "reassuring pill" will be brought back to Kaifeng through Zhao Anyi and handed over to Zhao Kuangyin. Although whether Zhao Kuangyin will eat this "reassuring pill" is still between the two, Wang Kunjun and others believe that after watching a play performed by themselves, Zhao Anyi, who is already convinced of the commitment of the Beiping Army, will definitely try his best to let his leader Zhao Dianzhen eat this "reassuring pill" in order to show his ability and establish his own merits.
