The Great Yuan Minister to the Great Song Dynasty, Haihua Xintian, was woken up by the concubine before dawn, and he was the new minister who took over the position of the former Great Yuan Minister Wuli Buhuachi at the beginning of the year. Minister Haihua Xin has a heavy sense of getting up on weekdays, but today he did not scold, let alone fight. With a feeling of great unhappiness, the Great Commission said, "Pull me up." ”

Wu Li Buhua was in the Great Song Dynasty for several years, not to mention touching the sister paper of the serious people of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the hands of the Great Song courtesans had no chance to touch. The atmosphere of the Wuli Buhua Chi Minister brought a concubine in the Dayuan Embassy, and the Minister Haihua Xin benefited from it, and finally had a woman to serve. Two of his concubines were blonde and blue-eyed women. The woman with the color eyes was tall, and first pulled the minister of Dayuan, who was less than 165, up, and then served the minister to bathe.

The whole person was soaked in the warm bath water, and Minister Haihua Xin felt a little nervous at first, but after a while, he couldn't help but sigh comfortably. Enjoying the feeling of bathing, Minister Haihua Xin couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Those who can come to be ministers are not ordinary people among the Mongolian nobles, and Minister Haihua Xin once satirized the former minister of Uri Buhua Chi at the time of the handover that he 'became the same as the southern barbarians'. After staying in Hangzhou for so many months, Minister Haihua Xin found that he had unconsciously become accustomed to the personal hygiene standards of the Southern Barbarians. A few months ago, this standard of hygiene was the reason he had mocked Minister Uri for not spending time.

Because he was a little embarrassed, Minister Haihua Xin let his body slide and let the whole person be soaked in water. After holding it for more than half a minute, he emerged from the water. After a few breaths, he felt the stench in his nostrils. Picking up a handful of water, Minister Haihua Xin buried his nose in it, slowly sucked the hot water into his nostrils, and sprayed it towards the outside of the wooden tub. After doing this two or three times, I felt that my breathing was free.

After soaking, the concubine gave a bath, washed her hair with soap, and then rinsed it with water. After drying your body, put on clean, soaped and ironed clothes. Standing still in front of the dressing mirror, Minister Haihua Xin saw a neat man with a clean beard and a beautiful and straight Mongolian costume.

After a simple breakfast, the Song Guoli Department had already sent a guide to arrive. Minister Haihua Xin and the personnel of the legation went out with the Song State personnel in a car and went straight to the parade square outside the imperial city. At this time, all the police, as well as five divisions of troops, were responsible for maintaining order. There are crowds of people everywhere, and it looks extremely spectacular.

May has not yet entered the rainy season, and the weather is sunny and windy. The Great Song Dynasty is a fire virtue, and the flag is red. The red flags were planted along the road, and according to the standard, there was a white circle in the center, and the black word 'Song' was inside, looking solemn.

At half past eight, Minister Haihua Xin entered the viewing platform under the guidance. This is a row of stepped viewing platforms, on which are all high-ranking officials, cadres and their relatives of the Great Song Dynasty. At this time, the troops under review had already entered the square, and Minister Haihua Xin just glanced at it, and his heart was shocked.

The group of people standing were as tall as if they had been slashed by knives. Each phalanx is 10*10, and there are more than a dozen phalanxes in one pull. Judging from the standing posture, none of these people are shelf. That restrained murderous aura should have been on the battlefield.

At 8:50 a.m., there was a stir on the viewing platform. Many people stood up one after another, and it didn't take long to see Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Guanjia appear on the rostrum.

'Chairman' is a very elegant old saying. In ancient China, there were no tables and chairs, and people sat on the ground. Sitting on the ground is also quite particular, the mat of the size of the room is called "feast", and the small cushion that everyone sits on is called "mat", which is similar to the modern chair cushion and futon.

In this etiquette, you take off your shoes when you enter the house, then walk through the feast and sit down on the table. Therefore, this is the origin of 'seating'. When seated, the guests have guest seats, and the elders of the host sit alone in the main seat or the main family seat as a sign of respect, and are called the chairman. In later generations, the "banquet", "banquet" and "wine feast" often referred to were named wine banquets from feasts and banquets of different sizes.

Therefore, the high platform where Zhao Guan's house is located is naturally the rostrum, and in the eyes of the literati and the common people of the Great Song Dynasty, the word rostrum is a completely native Chinese name, familiar and cordial.

At the viewing platform, everyone couldn't help but want to get close to the rostrum, and the person in charge of maintaining law and order immediately asked them to sit down. Looking at these people wearing flying fish suits, some people were not convinced. At a close look, the leader was Sima Kao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and some guard leaders. The gang reluctantly returned to their seats.

At 8:55, the commander of the parade arrived in front of the rostrum. 'Commander' is also a traditional Chinese noun, 'Si' means to be in charge, 'Ling' is to command an order, and 'Commander' refers to the official who is in charge of giving orders. This is an errand rather than a position, which is quite in line with the state of the parade at this time.

"Report to the official's family, the troops have been prepared, please ask the official's family to inspect." The commander said loudly from the audience.

Zhao Guanjia nodded, got off the rostrum, and turned over to get on the horse. Under the leadership of the commander of the parade, they passed in front of the phalanx. The square is on flat ground, the weather is sunny today, and the nearby hills, the roadside is full of people. There must be more than 100,000 people present who can see the invisible figure of Zhao Guan's family. In the eyes of so many people, they probably don't know much about Zhao Guan's family. Because he was wearing a military uniform. If it is at close range, the various symbols of the military uniform can clearly let everyone distinguish the status of the Zhao official family. From a distance, however, the details are indistinguishable. I don't know where their difference is. Now they can only judge who has the higher status based on the front and back of the horses.

Under so much attention, Zhao Jiaren acted as if nothing happened. He passed through phalanxes and echoed with the troops with slogans. The momentum of the army's equipment can be seen at a glance in the eyes of an old soldier like Zhao Jiaren. In the opinion of Zhao Guanjia, the condition of the Song army was stronger than that of the KMT army in the 20th century. There is no way to make a clear comparison with PLA.

Minister Haihua Xin couldn't hear the voice of Zhao Guanjia, but he could hear the uniform response of the Song army's array. The momentum of the sea flower Xin Xin was fluttering, and his liver was fluttering.

After the inspection of Zhao Guan's house was over, he returned to the rostrum. The marching band plays, and the march begins.

The first to pass was to rely on the soldiers. The first three flag bearers and flag guards are 190 tall, and the rear dependents are all 185 tall. Looking at the height of 165, Minister Haihua Xin, who is not short in the Mongolian army, secretly has low self-esteem.

The average height of men in the Great Song Dynasty is over 170, and the forbidden army requires a height of 172 or more. Those who came to participate in the parade had the first-class forbidden army standard of the Northern Song Dynasty, and all of them were soldiers with a height of 180. They are slender and well-dressed. Adopt the standard posture of raising a spear and salute, and the phalanx is as neat as a knife and axe. The solemn atmosphere of the army made everyone watching the ceremony subconsciously shut their mouths.

Most of the people on the stage have no experience in the military, and the army is a strange existence to them. The dense formation and high degree of discipline made the gang feel instinctively alert and even panicked.

Ambassador Haihuaxin is even more so. As a rare Mongol civil official, he did not participate in the Battle of the Yellow River. So he could only listen to others talk about the bravery of the Song army. At this time, those stories were told with their own eyes, and those stories were immediately brought to life. According to the generals who participated in the Battle of the Yellow River, the Song army was not impatient on the battlefield, and no matter how harassing and challenging the Mongol army was, they always acted in a neat queue on the battlefield. Even if a comrade-in-arms was shot in front of him by a stray arrow, they were not moved at all.

At this time, Ambassador Haihuaxin finally knew what that state was like. However, he was a little skeptical, such a queue looked very rigid, and could it really have such invincible power?

The infantry passed, and then the artillery. Ambassador Haihua Xin does not understand artillery, and only the artillery styles of the Great Song Dynasty can be determined. The artillery was larger in size than the Mongol army. Judging from the color, some of the artillery pieces of the Great Song Dynasty were cast in iron, and some of them were bronze cannons.

After these passed, the Great Song cavalry phalanx appeared. Ambassador Haihuaxin looked at the horses from a distance, and immediately felt that he could condescendingly evaluate what level the Great Song cavalry was. As the cavalry approached, Ambassador Haihuaxin felt that he had lost the desire to evaluate.

When he saw the tall horse of Zhao Guan's family, Ambassador Haihuaxin felt that Zhao Guan's horse naturally had to be a good horse in a million. Just as the horse of the Great Khan of Mongolia must be the best horse. The horses of the Song army's parade cavalry were also high-headed horses, and they did not feel low compared to the horses of the Zhao Guan's family.

The average height of the Mongol army is 165, and the Mongolian horses with a shoulder height of 120-135 are quite suitable for the Mongol army. The Great Song Horse with a shoulder height of 150 matches the Great Song Cavalry with a height of 180, which is also suitable.

As an ambassador of Haihuaxin, who was proficient in horsemanship, he did not see anything from the level of the Song army's horseback riding that was obviously inferior to the ability of the Mongol cavalry. The horses are very well trained and walk in a very steady and calm manner. As a Mongol, the only thing that can be criticized is that the horses carry dung pockets. So when I passed the rostrum, there was nothing left on the ground.

What a fool! Do you still care about these salty things on the battlefield? Ambassador Haihuaxin couldn't help but slander in his heart. However, he himself actually knew very well that when Song Jun really arrived on the battlefield, he would definitely not care about such a salty thing. His taunts were only uneasy.

Finally, there is a procession of various floats. In the ranks, there are representatives of civil servants, heroes and models, workers, and peasants. There are men and women in each float procession. It was quite lively to watch, and it also relieved the atmosphere of being killed by the army marching on the scene.

After the entire military parade, Ambassador Haihuaxin and others were invited to attend the state banquet. When he left the stands under the guidance of the staff, Ambassador Haihuaxin couldn't help but have questions. It was such a large-scale event, and there was no kneeling etiquette at the scene of the Great Song Dynasty.

In most of the capital, I am accustomed to seeing big gifts such as three bows and nine bows, and Ambassador Haihuaxin is very unaccustomed to this.
