Chapter 289: Royal Dragoons
Zhou Huchen's recital is very long, as for the wording, there is no writing at all, and the writing is even more unsightly, except for the beginning and the end, this is not a regular recital at all. It can be seen that this is really from Zhou Huchen's own handwriting, and the music has not been deliberately polished by the staff, although the format and words make people shake their heads, but the key is the content, Zhou Huchen's meaning is expressed very clearly and clearly.
This is a unique piece of music, it has not been blocked, and it is the only one that can be presented to the emperor, but it is this vernacular note that does not meet the requirements of the format that makes the entire court immediately look at Zhou Huchen with admiration and praise.
Zhou Huchen's recital is famous; "Please Liming Royal Dragoon Regiment Shu".
In the recital, Zhou Huchen suggested that the imperial court establish a royal cavalry regiment, and the structure of this cavalry regiment was already in place, and Zhenjiang happened to have 6,000 cavalry trained haode, which could be used as the basis for the royal cavalry regiment. In Zuihou, Zhou Huchen proposed that this northern expedition should lead this newly built cavalry regiment to test the combat effectiveness of these cavalry, and after the war, the subordination of the cavalry regiment will have nothing to do with Zhou Huchen in the future, it will be directly under the Ming Emperor.
All the equipment of the cavalry regiment will be equipped with new standards, and Emperor Bixia will be asked to personally present the flag to this royal cavalry regiment. At the same time as the song was presented, there was a sample of the flag sent by Zhou Huchen, and on the flag was a coiled dragon, a five-clawed coiled dragon with a golden light and an extremely fierce face. The five-clawed dragon is a royal patent, and using such a banner is tantamount to violating the system and tantamount to rebellion. But for the Royal Cavalry Regiment it is justified. The implication of Zhou Huchen is obvious, this cavalry regiment will belong to the royal family, and he will give his cavalry to the royal family.
Then there is the battle helmet, which is a very ordinary iron helmet, but this iron helmet sample is also unique, because the middle of the forehead of the war helmet is also inlaid with a coiled dragon like the flag. In addition to the flag and helmet, the uniforms of the soldiers and officers of the Royal Cavalry Regiment are also prominently emblem, and the left arm of the uniform is also embroidered with a mighty coiled dragon.
There is no need to question Zhou Huchen anymore, Zhou Huchen gave the powerful cavalry corps to the royal family. This cavalry regiment has the most haode war horses and the most haode equipment. The whole army had 6,000 cavalrymen. Together with two auxiliaries for each cavalry, plus various other logisticians, it has exceeded 20,000 men. Everyone knows how powerful the soldiers trained by Zhou Huchen are, and the establishment of the Ming Royal Dragoon Regiment means that Zhou Huchen is stripping his military liliang. Automatically differentiate their liliang. Especially the two words Da Ming in front of the Royal Dragoon Regiment. It's so dazzling.
Although this brand-new cavalry unit is temporarily under the command of Zhou Huchen, after the war, this powerful army will completely belong to the royal family, and Zhou Huchen will not have any right to dispatch. No one has to suspect that Zhou Huchen has any dissenting intentions. People with different intentions will not do this, they will not hand over their military liliang, and they will not let this cavalry regiment hang the banner of the Ming Dynasty.
It's better to be your own son-in-law! gave himself a powerful cavalry corps directly under him, which made Zhu Youxiang full of emotion.
The establishment of this royal cavalry regiment will undoubtedly greatly boost the morale of the whole army, and at the same time, Zhou Huchen's division of Liliang is a good thing that the court officials are happy to see.
It's easy to pass, and the most attractive is the word "dragoon". As for what a dragoon is, no matter how Zhu Youxiang and the courtiers hinted, except for saying that the dragoons are extremely powerful and are the nemesis of all cavalry, Zhou Huchen just refused to say the detailed details. made this dragoon a suspense, very appetizing.
Everyone knows that Zhou Huchen is not a person who talks empty, since he is very strong, he will definitely be very strong. Zhou Huchen has always done things simply, and this team that was about to be awarded the Ming Royal Cavalry Regiment came quickly, obviously prepared in advance. Everything is ready, and the moment to unravel this suspense is coming.
On the morning of 16 October, the day of the presentation of the flag to the Royal Dragoon Regiment, the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiang led the crown prince Zhu Lianbi and a group of high-ranking civil and military officials to visit the Dajiaochang in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing.
Countless forbidden troops and Han generals opened the way in front of their heads, and for the first time, Emperor Zhu Youxiang was dressed in military uniform and riding a horse.
Needless to say, the lively scene along the way, before coming to the school field, the road was opened by the Han general in front, and Zhu Youxiang, who was dressed in military uniform, dismounted, and his umbrella cover followed closely behind. Zhou Huchen's father and son and the crown prince Zhu Lianbi followed behind the emperor, and they were surrounded by Gao Hongtu, the first assistant with a serious face, which was equivalent to the highest second group of the Ming Dynasty. The other ministers were a little behind, and the other officials and nobles in Nanjing City could only be further behind.
"Bixia, slow down, I still have to tell you the details of this flag ceremony."
In front of the public, Zhou Huchen took a few steps forward without being humble, and he actually ran to the side of Emperor Zhu Youxiang. Gao Hongtu squinted his eyes and didn't say anything, after all, Zhou Huchen was the emperor's son-in-law, and it was this appetizing ceremony organized by Zhou Huchen, so he shouldn't have seen this faux pas.
Zhu Youxiang slowed down, the great eunuch Lu Jiude waved his hand majestically, except for the person with the umbrella, the surrounding eunuchs and Jinyi guards hurriedly avoided it.
Zhou Huchen approached: "As soon as your guard of honor arrives, the soldiers will salute to welcome, the number of times this cannon is twenty-one, and twenty-one is the highest standard.
Only the emperor is entitled to fire a twenty-one salute. In addition, after Bixia went to the platform, the soldiers will not bow down because they are cavalry, so please bear with me. ”
"I don't know much, so I just listen to Xiaohu, but the number of salutes is still so exquisite! What am I going to do with that flag presentation ceremony in a moment? Zhu Youxiang's interest was already very high, and the ceremony arranged by Zhou Huchen was so fresh, he hurriedly asked.
"This ceremony has been arranged, bixia, you just need to sit on the main seat and wait, you can do it according to Wechen's instructions for a while, when Wechen hands you the flag, you can praise the might of my Ming cavalry, and then you said; This cavalry will give the title of the Daming Royal Dragoon Regiment. As for the decree and seal for the establishment of the Royal Cavalry Regiment, you can then fill it up! ”
Zhu Youxiang nodded a little ignorantly, Zhou Huchen's arrangement seemed to be very unruly, and it was very simple, but it was very fresh, full of mystery and temptation for him, which made Zhu Youxiang look forward to it.
At this time, a group of people entered the gate of the school under the guidance of General Dahan.
At this time, the first salute was fired, and there was no way to describe the sound except the deafening. Although he was prepared, he still frightened Zhu Youxiang and the official Xungui behind him.
This salute is so loud!
Zhu Youxiang, who was buzzing in his ears, couldn't help but look at the place where the salute sounded.
On the far right side of the school yard was a row of huge guns with gun mounts, the muzzles of these guns facing outward, and the soldiers who fired the guns were also standing with their backs. What surprised Zhu Youxiang was that these cannons were huge, in addition to the high long barrels, the iron gun mounts of these guns were also shocking Zhu Youxiang understood, this is the kind of legendary steel monsters, Zhou Huchen actually brought these steel beasts used in war as salutes, it was too extravagant!
The second salute sounded, which was still a bit deafening, and Zhu Youxiang and all the officials and nobles got used to it. Resisting the idea of going to see those legendary steel giants, Zhu Youxiang continued to move forward with a steady step and a serious face, at this moment Zhu Youxiang must show the majesty of an emperor, because the point of this school is the point of the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who once personally ordered the general.
The salute was controlled very accurately, and with the twenty-first sound of the salute, Zhu Youxiang happened to be on the stage.
There was no one in front of the general's platform, and the officials and nobles who followed one after another were a little puzzled, and they began to look around, could it be that the review of the military generals would make the emperor wait? It's so unruly that these people can't help but start slandering.
Everyone went to the Dianjiangtai, and Emperor Zhu Youxiang sat on the only chair in the Dianjiangtai.
At this moment, a faint drum beat was heard, and soon after there was a rhythmic tremor on the ground, and the whole ground and the Dianjiangtai began to tremble.
Emperor Zhu Youxiang and all the courtiers were a little panicked, and Zhou Yuji nodded calmly, he was enjoying this neat rhythm. Because he knew best that this was the tremor caused by the cavalry corps' group march, and Zhou Huchen was still smiling, because what he needed was this kind of shocking effect.
