Just when the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai was worried about the status of the Eight Banners in Cining Palace, Dorobelle Xuanye, accompanied by Ming Andali and Kadahun, inspected the 8,000 soldiers stationed in the Eight Banners who gathered here from all over Gyeonggi in Changping Prefecture!

Hongyi, who was dressed in a trumpet uniform, sat on the "Super Shadow BMW" given by Fu Lin, of course, as a child less than two years old, Hongyi still chose to let a guard control the BMW, and he was willing to be tightly wrapped between the guards' arms.

This royal "super shadow" is indeed worthy of its reputation as one of the "Eight Horses [1]", with blood red all over its body, erect ears, and majestic style, which can't help but remind Hongyi of the famous sentence in Du Fu's "Fang Bing Cao Huma": "Huma is famous, sharp and skinny." The bamboo batch has both ears, and the wind is light into the four hooves. Indeed, when Hongyi's horse galloped in front of the neatly lined up 8,000 strong troops, listening to the wind whistling in his ears and looking at the sword and sword shadow in front of him, he really realized what it was to "walk day by day" and what was "Jin Ge Iron Horse"!

In the procession, the generals of each battalion wore lacquered helmets and armor robes, sat upright on horses, and saluted with swords; [2] A group of soldiers, dressed in black lacquer leather, appeared solid and heavy. According to the different flags, wearing various colors of cotton armor, Hongyi has long understood that the yellow is the yellow flag, the red edge of the yellow ground is the yellow flag, the white is the white flag, the red side of the white ground is the white flag, the red is the red flag, the red ground and the white edge are the red flag, the blue is the blue flag, and the red edge of the blue ground is the blue flag, which is very good to distinguish. Regardless of the generals and soldiers, the armor is lined with cotton cloth, with silk as the surface, and the solid silk cotton in the middle, and is divided into different styles such as waist-length armor and armor, but the whole body is inlaid with copper bubble nails. Sure enough, although this review was not a "big parade" that could only be held by the emperor in person, the military department was obviously very attentive and took out most of the "big parade" armor that was usually stored in the Xihua Gate Tower, which shows the degree of attention.

At this time, in the Qing Dynasty, the "big parade" system was not standardized, and the number of years between years, military parade items, etc., were not yet clear. Hongyi immediately began to recall the magnificent momentum of "one big reading in ten years and one small reading in five years" on Tiananmen Square of the Republic, and secretly made up his mind to make a good suggestion to his "reborn imperial father".

From beginning to end, Hongyi has been sitting on horseback, every time he raises the so-called "Shang Fang Sword" in his hand, the sergeant next to him will hold the sword and gun, shouting loudly, the momentum is indeed terrifying, but running back and forth, Hongyi always feels that something is missing, and he thinks about it for a long time, and then he suddenly realizes!

"Go back to the point!" Hongyi commanded loudly.

"Huh!" The knight behind him immediately turned his horse's head, and the wind rushed back to the Dianjiangtai on the north side of the school field.

Ascending to the high point platform, Ming Andali and Kadahun on the left and right hurriedly greeted him.

"Lord Belle, can this army be considered majestic?" The military department Shangshu Kadahun half-bowed, cautiously and carefully asked this holy child prodigy who was "ordered to proofread".

"Lord Ka, the soldiers under your command are indeed my Eight Banners powerhouse!" Hongyi replied with a smile.

"Lord Schebel's praise!" Kadahun's mouth was grinning to his ears, but Ming Andali felt a little strange. After all, he had once comprehended the magic of this holy child, he was not so simple, was he? That's it?

"But, Lord Ka, can Benbel be ordered to proofread?" Ming Andali was relaxed for a while, and the little prince really had the following!

"That's nature! That's nature! The servant respectfully asks Dorobelle to declare the three armies on behalf of the emperor! Kadahun and Ming Andari immediately knelt down and obeyed the order.

Seeing this, the herald generals on the side showed the command flag in their hands, and the 8,000 soldiers in the audience also knelt down on one knee to welcome the hadith! Hongyi was also ambitious by the sound of the shaking of the armor and the dazzling reflection of the armor of the "bright and shaking", so he took two steps to the edge of the Dianjiang platform and stepped onto the two-foot-high "podium" that had been prepared for himself a long time ago! In fact, this is also the emergency strategy he himself ordered Haode a day in advance. After all, the audience is full of battle-hardened warriors of the Eight Banners, and they can't talk for a long time, and they haven't seen their own little point on the stage!

"Soldiers! You guys, for the Qing Dynasty, for the sake of China, hard work!! Hongyi said loudly with all his strength. On the silent school ground, Instant Mountain exclaimed: "Long live my emperor!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

When the echo of the slogan gradually subsided, Hongyi continued:

"The Great Qing Dynasty Longxing Guanwai, into the Central Plains, the unification of China, the surrender of the four seas, all the soldiers, the contribution is indispensable!"

"Hooray! ……”

"The Eight Banners are brave, the three armies are alive, the warriors are mighty, the swords and guns are sharp, the small state of Yuer, the tyranny of the heavens, the offense of my Qing Dynasty, although far away, will be punished!" Hongyi suddenly thought of a classic line in the TV series "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", and blurted out that he was also full of blood and blood, so heroic!

"Hooray! ……”

Hongyi was a little deflated, no matter how he shouted, there was one word below, that is, "Long live"! Although it is neat and loud, it is a little lacking in momentum! And behind this word, it actually means that all the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were just stupid and loyal to the emperor, rather than fighting bloodily for the righteousness of the country and the interests of the nation. If you fight for one person, you must be rewarded, and if you fight for your family and country, you can be born after death!

A strong team that is waiting for the end must have one or two loud slogans that set off the military might, unite the military heart, and even deepen the friendship between the robe and the people! The most famous military slogan in Chinese history was the "wind, strong wind" of the army during the Qin period. Gale is an auspicious saying, which is a metaphor for the wind and good for archery, and describes the Qin army as mighty as a gale. In fact, there were almost no slogans in the army in ancient China, and the main reason was that most of the people in the army were just temporary conscripts and had received very little military training, so it didn't matter whether there were slogans or not, sometimes slogans were bad. In the later Battle of Weishui, the former Qin was defeated by a slogan (it is okay to say rumors) that Zhu Xu raised his arms and shouted. In the Song and Ming dynasties, professional soldiers appeared in China, and their service was lifelong, so if you use slogans to command battles, it is more convenient to use gongs and drums to command banners. The "action passwords" such as "walking in unison" and "standing upright" only appeared in the late Qing Dynasty during the training period of Yuan Shikai's small station. The most famous slogan of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is "Hello comrades!" - Hello Chief! "Comrades, hard work! - Serve the people! Such a question-and-answer slogan, as well as the popular phrase "don't abandon and don't give up"! And this kind of history seems to need to change from the 12th year of Shunzhi today!

Hongyi's brain was running rapidly, and after being seen to think about it for a while, he roared even harder:

"Soldiers, my Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are the elite of the world. What is Elite? Invincible and invincible is the elite division! He can be a brave man after the national war, and after death! The Manchurian warriors and Chinese warriors must have the will to pull out the mountains and cover the world, and they must have the will to put them to death and live after they have advanced without retreating! Hongyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and without waiting for the next to continue shouting long live, he shouted hoarsely, "Long live my emperor!" Long live the Qing Dynasty! ——Qing Dynasty warriors, the will of the battle! Chinese Ruishi, there is no advance or retreat! ——Qing Dynasty warriors, the will of the battle! Chinese Ruishi, there is no advance or retreat! ”

Hongyi repeated both sides like this, and Ming Andali and Kadahun on the side were the first to understand, and immediately stepped forward, standing behind Hongyi, and also raised their arms and shouted: "Qing warriors, the will to fall into battle!" Chinese Ruishi, there is no advance or retreat! ”

Finally, the 8,000 soldiers began to shout in unison: "Qing warriors, the will to fall into battle!" Chinese Ruishi, there is no advance or retreat! "Qing Dynasty warriors, the will to fall into battle! Chinese Ruishi, there is no advance or retreat! ”…… Shouting and shouting, all the generals and soldiers gradually became enthusiastic, this kind of "ambition to fall into battle, advance without retreating" heroism is far from blindly singing praises to the emperor The kind of "long live the mountain" can be compared!

You must know that the Eight Banners of the early Qing Dynasty can not be said to be brave and good at fighting, and the fearless and courageous temperament brought by the "white mountain, black water, blood and red" outside the plug, but it is turbulent and violent, and the glory of "Qing Dynasty warriors and Chinese warriors" makes everyone present add to their pride!

At the end of the review, at the insistence of Hongyi, Bekotov's Rakshasa team also practiced firearms attack and defense for the 8,000 Eight Banners. At this time, the "gossip" that had been boiling in the Eight Banners of Gyeonggi for a long time became "heard and witnessed", and the prestige of the Qing Dynasty Dorobelle and the second son of the emperor who was good at mobilizing everyone's emotions just now also came to a halt among these 8,000 people......

In the afternoon of the same day, when Hongyi returned to Beijing from Changping South, he was still outside the imperial city, and in accordance with the order of Desheng Gate, Anding Gate and Dongzhi Gate, he "ordered to proofread" the soldiers of the "Three Banners" of Zhenghuang, Huang, and Zhengbai stationed in the three places, which can be regarded as proofreading the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade. Naturally, at the time of the school review, "Qing Dynasty warriors, the will to fall into battle!" Chinese Ruishi, there is no advance or retreat! The slogan resounded all over the world, attracting the morale of the generals!

Three days later, the military department was sparse and asked the emperor to decree "Long live my emperor!" And "Qing Dynasty warriors, the will to fall into battle!" Chinese Ruishi, there is no advance or retreat! The two sentences are "the declaration of the eight banners of the Great Qing Dynasty", the former is the "declaration of praise" when the emperor personally reads it, and the latter is the "declaration of death" when the enemy is in front. Blessing and Dayue, one quasi-play, the edict to garrison the eight banners throughout the country immediately obeyed.

And with the spread of a military document throughout the country to defend the Eight Banners Army, there is also the second son of the emperor, the "meritorious seal" Dorobelle Xuanye's magical, heroic, knowing soldiers, good at fighting, and those originally ordinary Western bird guns, which are used in the hands of this prince as powerful as divine help......

[1] "Eight horses", the eight horses used by King Mu of Zhou in the legend, are said to be able to travel thousands of miles in a day (one says 30,000 miles). The specific names of the eight horses are different, mainly including: 1. Named after the horse's coat color: Chiji, Thief, Baiyi, Yulun, Shanzi, Quhuang, Hualiu, and Green Ear. (See "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" Volume 1) (small note):

Chiji: A fiery red horse;

Thief: Solid black horse;

Baiyi: pure white horse;

Cyru: blue-purple horse;

Shanzi: gray-white horse;

Qu Huang: goose-yellow horse;

Hua Liu: A red horse with a black mane and a black tail;

Green-eared: blue-yellow horses. 2. Named after speed: "The Horse of the Eight Dragons: A Jedi, not trampling the soil; two feathered and crossed the birds; Three of them ran for the night and traveled thousands of miles at night; Four supershadows, day by day; Five are more than bright, and their coats are shining; Six superlights, one shape and ten shadows; Seven people soared through the fog and ran through the clouds; Eight wings, with fleshy wings. (See Memoirs. King Mu of Zhou). Ming Hu Yinglin believes that Wang Jia's content is all privately deceitful, which is not enough evidence, see "Shao Room Mountain House Pen Collection" volume 34.

Later, it was also used to refer to horses in general, and also to refer to the emperor's chariot.

[2] Helmets in the Qing Dynasty, whether made of iron or leather, were painted on the surface. There is a beam on the front and back of the helmet, and a piece of covering the eyebrows protrudes in the middle of the forehead, on which are dancers and bowls, and on the bowl is a helmet plate shaped like a wine cup, and in the middle of the helmet is an iron or copper pipe for inserting a tassel spear, carving feathers, or otter tails. Silk collars of stone blue and other colors on the back, neck and ear guards, embroidered with patterns, and decorated with copper or iron bubble nails. The armor is divided into armor and robes. The armor is equipped with shoulder pads on the shoulders and armpit guards under the shoulder pads; In addition, wear a metal heart guard on the chest and back, and wear a trapezoidal belly guard at the seam of the placket under the mirror, called "front shield". The left side of the waist wears a "left block", and the right side is not a block, which is reserved for wearing a bow and quiver. The bib is divided into two panels, one on the left and one on the right, and is worn with a strap around the waist. In the middle between the two scarves, the knees are covered with tiger heads of the same material. During the Qing Dynasty, the armor that was widely used was cotton armor, which was a bell armor inlaid with iron sheets on a thick cotton or silk cloth and fixed with copper nails. It looks like a cotton coat. Cotton armor has a certain cold-proof property, suitable for the use of northern Chinese infantry cavalry, thick cloth densely embedded with iron armor leaves, cold weapons and firearms have a certain protection ability.

[3] "Great parade", that is, a large-scale review of the army. "The Sixth Year of Huan Gong": "Autumn, big reading, simple carriages and horses." ”

Han Zhangheng's "Tokyo Fu": "The year is only in midwinter, and the West Garden is read." Tang Yuanzhi's "Gift to Taibao Yan Gongxing": "Taste the great reading in the east of the city, plant the meeting, the banner is full of fields, and the cycle is endless for seventy miles. "Qing Historical Manuscript Lizhi IX":"

In the seventh year of Tiancong, Taizong led Baylor and other superintendents to strengthen the army and practice the march, which was the beginning of the Great Reading. In the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, he was set to be three years old, and he was ordered. "Advocating martial arts, is the tradition of the early Qing Dynasty, when the establishment of the big parade, the line of the encirclement system, as a measure to advocate the wind of riding and archery, the emperor Taiji began to set the big review system, Shunzhi determined to hold a big review ceremony every three years, by the emperor to comprehensively review the military equipment of the dynasty and the martial arts skills of the army, the eight banners of the army according to the flag, wear armor, in turn in front of the emperor to perform artillery, shotguns, cavalry shooting, arrays, ladders and other skills. This is where the "big military parade" of later generations came.
