Chapter 563 Xianfeng Military Parade
After half an hour, Xianfeng, who was refreshed, appeared on the review stand in the company of Lan'er, wearing a handsome orange marshal uniform, yellow tassels falling obliquely on his chest, wearing a small brim round high-top hat with feathers, straight trousers, shiny black leather boots, and a sword hanging from his waist!
Xianfeng was obviously very satisfied with this outfit and smiled, but the braid hanging behind his head made the foreigners laugh.
"The emperor is mighty!" Led by Yixun, the ministers and magnates knelt on the ground and shouted.
"Flat!" Xianfeng confidently stretched out his hand, and after everyone thanked him, he asked again, "Can you start?" ”
"Please review it to the emperor!" Fu Chun hit a thousand, then turned around and shouted: "Sing the military song!" ”
"Hundreds of millions of years, the Great Empire of Yadong! The mountains are vertical and horizontal, the rivers are stretching the waves of civilization, the four hundred trillion people are gods, the land is large and the products are rich, raise the emblem of the Yellow Dragon Empire, and sing the song of my empire! In the music of the subdued and tonal file, the leader is a guard of honor holding high the Yellow Dragon Flag, followed by a team of soldiers of the Eight Banners who were paraded, carrying guns, stepping on leather shoes, and stomping on the sound of leather shoes.
"Okay, my Qing Dynasty's military songs are much more majestic than the short-haired bad tunes!" The waving arms, the neat steps, the eyes of a white-haired old prince were full of tears.
He was far more than the only one present with tears in his eyes, since Xianfeng ascended the throne, the world has not been peaceful, Hong Yang and his ilk gathered people to rebel in Jintian in the first year of Xianfeng, and then they were out of control, and turned to the south of the Yangtze River, all the way to capture Nanjing. Countless bannermen died unexpectedly, and immediately after. The even more formidable enemy of the Democratic Alliance Army appeared, and it actually went to the city of Beijing to make a fuss. In the way of exchanging prisoners before the battle, thousands of bandits who were about to be sentenced to death were exchanged!
Every banner person is deeply ashamed, and they also have a strong sense of crisis, the disaster of the extinction of the dead race is just around the corner, but they are helpless, they can only sit back and watch the development of the Democratic Alliance army step by step, and now, hope is coming. This modern army gives them hope, a kind of hope that will survive in a desperate situation!
Lan'er wiped the corners of her reddish eyes, choked up and turned her head and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the name of this song?" ”
"Ode to the Dragon Banner!" Xianfeng's heart was surging, and he said word by word.
"Good! Good song, majestic and majestic, making people's blood boil, if it weren't for her daughter's family, Lan'er would have wanted to pick up a gun and go to the battlefield! Lan'er praised from the bottom of her heart. Meimu threw downward.
The troops under review are getting closer and closer, and according to the pre-drawn procedures, Xianfeng is going to speak, when the troops under review pass directly below. On a whim, Xianfeng drew his sword and swung it forward, puffing up his voice and shouting: "The Qing Dynasty is mighty!" ”
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" All the soldiers on the parade clicked their guns. All look at Xianfeng Xing and pay attention!
"Ten thousand years of national glory!" Xianfeng's saber waved again!
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live the Qing Dynasty!" For the third time, Xianfeng swung his sword!
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" This time. In addition to the soldiers on review, the audience shouted long live in unison. There was a knee on the review stand!
"Your Majesty, the artillery is coming, the artillery is coming!" At this time, An Dehai, the little eunuch standing behind him, shouted in a sharp voice.
Behind the infantry parade phalanx, there were artillery pieces dragged by war horses, all of which were pure white, the guns were polished, and the wheels made deep marks on the ground.
"Good, good!" Xianfeng couldn't help himself and shouted a few times, and after waving his hand to signal everyone to get up, he asked: "Fuchun, if our army fights with Shorthair again, what are the chances of victory?" ”
Fu Chun said confidently: "Back to the emperor, since the Fengtai battalion of the slaves introduced advanced Western guns and artillery, and used Western-style military training methods to train soldiers for a year, the soldiers have been practicing hard day and night, taking revenge and suppressing the rebels as their own responsibility, and their combat quality is improving day by day, and their mental outlook is not comparable to the past, but the strength of the Democratic Alliance is obvious to all, so the slaves dare not say that if the same number of people fight, we should have a seventy percent chance of winning!" ”
"Seventy percent!" Xianfeng was obviously excited, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Now that the main force of short-haired hair is all in Lingnan, and the Jianghuai army is empty, it is a God-given opportunity for you to show your talents, I want you to lead the Fengtai battalion to Jinan to cooperate with the monk and the prince, recapture Jiaodong, and wait for the opportunity to attack Xuzhou, what do you think?" ”
"Huh?" The magnates led by Yixun immediately cast their scorching eyes on the past, and they urgently needed a big victory!
"This" Fu Chun suddenly felt a lot of pressure and hesitated.
Seventy percent of the odds of winning are just said to Xianfeng, really fighting with the Democratic Alliance Army, he doesn't have any confidence, after all, as a leading general, he is still very clear about the situation in his army, not to say that there is no combat effectiveness at all, after a year of training, he is also very devoted, more or less there are always some results, but there are still a lot of problems, the key is that the children of the Eight Banners are also the children of the powerful, and the comfortable life of the past two hundred years has gradually worn away the courage left by the ancestors. It's just that once you run into a stubborn enemy, it's hard to say, and the NLD is clearly a tenacious army.
"What? Seventy percent of the odds of winning still don't dare to fight? Xianfeng's face sank, and he showed displeasure.
"Please calm the emperor's anger!" Fu Chun hurriedly said: "Our army's artillery shells and ammunition can only last for half a month, if the short hair can not be broken within half a month, the consequences are unimaginable, and the short hair is not just around the corner, so the minions mean that when the next few batches of arms are shipped by foreigners, and after having enough savings to support half a year, it is safer to attack the short hair, the minions are not afraid of death, but are worried that if the ammunition runs out, the emperor's major event will be missed, please let the emperor know it." ”
"Mr. Bowling, how long will it take to arrive?" Fuchun kicked the ball to the foreigner, and Xianfeng also felt quite reasonable and looked at Baoling.
Bao Ling bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, due to the fall of Hong Kong, we Britain, France and the United States have lost a transit port, so it has been delayed for some time, but we are raising weapons and arms for your country through various channels, please rest assured, we will do our best to ensure the need, and we will never delay the war, but I suggest that it is best to wait for the troops of the Democratic League." ”
"Why wait?" Xianfeng said dissatisfied.
Bao Ling explained: "The Democratic Alliance Army is a public enemy of the world, and it is not your country's business to use troops against the Democratic Alliance Army, it is best for all parties to jointly use troops to defeat it with one blow!"
At present, although your country has obtained our weapons, it is still necessary to continue to run in, which will take time, and in the south of your country, Lord Zeng has incorporated the Taiping army of Jiangxi Lianghu, and Lord Li has also incorporated the Twist army of Huaibei, and they also need time to run in.
Not long ago, the Democratic Alliance forces forcibly occupied Hong Kong and Macao, which is a serious violation of the sovereignty of our British Empire and the Kingdom of Portugal, which has constituted a war provocation, our country and the Portuguese government will not sit idly by, our two countries will take the lead in organizing a coalition around the world to conquer the Democratic Alliance forces, this will also take time, so please Your Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom do not need to be in a hurry, when the time is ripe, all parties will join hands to fight against the Democratic Alliance army, and will never repeat the mistakes of the East India Company! ”
"Okay, then I'll wait a little longer!" Xianfeng nodded fiercely! (To be continued......)
