Chapter 127 On the military parade of the Great Dynasty Meeting

c_t; Zhang Jiashi did not think about implementing the national policy of recuperation and recuperation like he did in the early Han Dynasty. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info(

However, under the premise of recognizing the serious threat posed by the Xiongnu to the Great Qin Empire, Zhang Jiashi could only choose to continue to maintain a sufficient number of military personnel in this regard to counter the threat of war from the Xiongnu or even the direct outbreak of large-scale war.

Perhaps, in this regard, even if Zhang Jiashi was exhausted and could not fully recuperate in the Great Qin Empire, but maintained a large-scale military force that was a great drag on national strength, he would not be able to reverse the victory and defeat on the battlefield.

However, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that a reckless army might not be able to defeat the Huns, but the Great Qin Empire, which had weakened its military strength, would definitely not gain any benefits from fighting the Huns in this regard.

Therefore, as if to strengthen the basis of his military preparations to deal with the Huns, and also for the confidence of the military strength of the Great Qin Empire, Zhang Jiashi decided to hold a military parade that could be regarded as the first military parade of the Great Qin Empire after many things had been over.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Due to the constraints of preparation time and venue, Zhang Jiashi chose a mixed force of 1,000 people under the command of the Central Army as the protagonist of the parade.

This military parade is more of a whim of Zhang Jiashi. However, after Zhang Jiashi discussed with Chen Ping, Li Zuoche, Zhang Liang and others, he actually got the approval of these important ministers.

After all, within the scope of Xianyang Palace, it may be unheard of to carry out such a small-scale military parade, but in terms of the layout of Xianyang Palace, this kind of military parade ceremony can still be carried out according to the corresponding plan.

Of course, Chen Ping didn't quite understand what the military parade was all about at first, because before that, they also understood the corresponding record of Lu Huangong's military parade from "Zuo Chuan": In the sixth year of Huan Gong, "autumn, big parade, simple carriages and horses." ”,

There is also a corresponding description in "The Biography of Liang in the Spring and Autumn Valley": "What is the big reader? ”

The grand parade can be understood as a large-scale review of the army's soldiers and combat vehicles and other major combat equipment.

Therefore, Chen Ping, they also understand it more from this aspect.

After Zhang Jiashi recounted, Chen Ping and others knew more about what they wanted and what Zhang Jiashi expressed, and there were many places that could be regarded as big errors.

And Zhang Jiashi naturally did not say what he thought of the military parade, but more from the military parade that he understood in later generations and made improvements in line with the current situation.

(The earliest record of military parades in ancient China is mentioned in the corresponding description of the Tushan Huimeng in the Huainan Ziyuan Dao Xun:

Once upon a time, the leader of the Xia tribe, Kun, built a very high wall to defend himself, and everyone wanted to leave him, and the other tribes were eyeing Xia. Later, Yu became the leader, demolished the city walls, filled the moat, distributed the property to everyone, destroyed the weapons, and taught the people with morality. So everyone did their part, and other tribes were willing to come and join them. Yu invited the princes to meet in Tushan.

It is said that at the assembly, Yu's men held weapons decorated with feathers and sang and danced to music to express a grand welcome to the leaders of the southern tribes. The clan leaders who came to the alliance all brought valuables such as jade and silk to show their submission to Yu.

In the Tushan Alliance, although Yu did not send a single soldier, his display of force was enough to deter the princes, so as to "turn the war into a jade silk". Yu's behavior is actually the prototype of the "military parade".

Of course, the authenticity of this description can no longer be confirmed, and whether the Xia Dynasty had an army in the real sense at that time, or just the tribal armed personnel of Dayu's tribe, it is impossible to study the details at present. )

In later history, the military parade was referred to as a military parade, which was a ceremony to review the armed forces. It is usually held on major national festivals, welcoming and sending off state guests and the army, triumph, proofreading, flag awarding, awarding, and large-scale military exercises to celebrate, pay tribute, show the achievements of army building, and can be spectacular, boost the army's prestige, and boost morale.

Military parades in later generations included parades and parades. Sometimes only one is done. A military parade is a ceremony in which the parade passes in front of the queue of the troops being paraded and conducts a review. The parade is a ceremony in which the parade troops pass in front of the review stand and are inspected by the parade.

Due to the influence of cultural differences between countries in later generations, the form of military parades varies from country to country. Roughly speaking, it can be divided into four types: Soviet-style military parade, British military parade, French military parade and American-style military parade, and the following are some countries that adopt different forms of military parades:

Soviet-style military parades are mainly seen in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other CIS and former Warsaw Pact member countries, as well as the People's Republic of China, North Korea, Cuba, Libya, Iraq, Vietnam, Mongolia, etc.

Its characteristic is that the scene and momentum are the most grand and grand among the four military parade modes, and the walking phalanx adopts the German-style positive step (commonly known as the "goose step", similar to the Irish tap dance steps) when being paraded, which is particularly neat and uniform; it focuses on displaying the most advanced weapons and equipment of the country, and among the four modes, it can best reflect the original meaning of the military parade to deter hostile countries or hostile forces, so it is often the most able to attract the attention of international public opinion.

The British military parade is mainly popular in the United Kingdom, India, Pakistan, Singapore, Egypt and other Commonwealth member states, which is characterized by the parade of troops and the march of the parade basically inherited the tradition of the Victorian era, focusing on the memory of the glorious history of the ** team, there will be a lot of long eliminated arms and military equipment at the parade, and some of the phalanx officers and soldiers will wear old-fashioned military uniforms to be read.

The European-style military parade is mainly popular in France, Spain, Italy, Sweden and other continental European countries, and its characteristics are that the stride of the soldiers when they walk is smaller than that of the British military parade, and the arrangement of the vehicle phalanx has a strong artistic atmosphere.

American-style military parades are mainly popular in the United States, South Korea, the Philippines and other countries that have a very direct relationship with the US military, and their main characteristics are that entertainment, performance and commerciality are the strongest among the four modes, just like a wonderful and lively armed parade or carnival ceremony;

......

In later countries, the details of military parades often vary greatly:

The parade in France is the most international: foreign soldiers are invited to take the lead.

The French National Day Parade is the oldest and largest regular military parade in the world, and has been held almost every year on July 14 since 1880. According to ordinary people's understanding, military parades are all for the soldiers of the three armed services of the country to be inspected by the leaders, and at most foreign envoys and dignitaries are invited to observe at the scene. However, in recent years, France has specially invited foreign troops to participate in the National Day parade.

Russia is the most spectacular: it is a cut above the scale and quality.

Every year in Russia, a grand military parade is held on Red Square in Moscow on May 9. Compared with Western countries, the military parade on Red Square is superior in both scale and quality.

A large number of soldiers of the three armed forces walked through the square in a neat and majestic manner according to the well-designed and well-organized phalanx. The parade was also attended by a large number of tanks, armoured vehicles, aircraft and a large number of state-of-the-art missiles. When the dense soldiers shouted deafening slogans, when the torrent of ironclad slowly drove through the square, when the most advanced fighter planes roared over the sky with a force that covered the sky and the sun, the majestic and majestic formation was simply breathless

It is also worth mentioning that every year veterans of the Great Patriotic War are invited to join the parade or observe the procession. These heroes who fought bloodily on the battlefield are now in their twilight years, with gray hair and wrinkled faces, and they can no longer kick the standard step like when they were young, but they can still make the most standard military salute. Many Muscovite citizens paid tribute to these veterans with tears in their eyes. It can be said that the annual military parade on Red Square is an important way for Russians to receive the baptism of patriotism.

The U.S. military parade is the most relaxed: it rejects mass military parades.

Since the 70s of the last century, the United States has rarely held large-scale military parades on National Day, not only because the US military has sent a large number of troops overseas and has no time to organize large-scale military parades, but also because it is related to national characteristics. Small-scale parades with local characteristics are held across the United States on July 4, the first day, with ordinary people with their families, carrying picnic baskets and waving national flags, waiting for the parade to pass by. And the participating soldiers did not need to kick the right step, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Japan's military parade is the most fragmented: the land, sea and air are "fighting on their own."

Perhaps because of the disgraceful status of the aggressor country in World War II, and in order to avoid giving the outside world the impression of exaggerating force, Japan has not held a large-scale military parade in which the navy, army, and air force participate at the same time, and each Self-Defense Force has a separate military parade every three years.

Military parades in India are the most diverse: there are both stunts and weapons.

India holds a National Day military parade on King Avenue in New Delhi on January 26 every year, and ordinary people can buy tickets to watch the parade. India's National Day Parade is more like an outdoor show and weapons exhibition. The parade is marked by a difficult motorcycle stunt show, and soldiers dressed in national costumes ride in a procession of camels painted with colorful oil paint. The parade is also known for displaying high-tech weapons, such as the "Earth" and "Agni" series of missiles and the "BrahMos" supersonic cruise missile, which have been frequent guests at the parade for three consecutive years, and new models will appear every year, reflecting the rapidly expanding military strength.

(Another thing to spit out is that India's self-produced Arjun series tanks are said to be more officially used in their military parades, while the Arjun series tanks are installed in very small quantities in the Indian military, and India's armored tanks can be regarded as more products of the Wanguo brand.) )

There is no record of an official military parade in Germany after the "reunification of Germany": reflecting on the war does not parade.

On October 3, 1990, East and West Germany were reunified, and this day also became Germany's national day. It is rare to have a large-scale military parade on the National Day, because it was Hitler's brazen initiation of World War II that led to the division of Germany for nearly half a century, and the Germans, who are introverted and full of speculative spirit, are unwilling to highlight the strength of the army through military parades, and it will make them feel embarrassed to exaggerate force. The parades held on this day were largely anti-war and confessional, and most of them were unofficial in nature.

Before the reunification of Germany, there were many military parades in East and West Germany by NATO and the Warsaw Pact. This is more of a mutual demonstration between the two systems of military alliances.

Military parades in Britain are the most traditional: the continuation of ancient customs.

Perhaps a nostalgic nostalgic reference to the "empire on which the sun never sets", the arrangement of the British military parade basically continues the ornate tradition of the Victorian era. At the forefront were often marching bands beating flaming drums, followed by royal guards in crimson double-row uniforms, tall bearskin black hats, and spears on their shoulders, followed by cavalry on tall horses and shiny chest armor.

Contrary to other countries' military parades, which like to display the most advanced weapons, the most worrying thing for the British is the heroic fighters of World War II. Harriers, Hurricanes, Spitfires, and other "classic planes" that made great achievements in the resistance to the Nazis have been renovated and are back in the blue skies of London.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Thinking about the influence of some aspects, Zhang Jiashi did not intend to use some new weapons based on new cavalry equipment as a demonstration while mobilizing the troops directly under his command to conduct a military parade ceremony.

Perhaps, the appearance of these equipment can certainly make Zhang Jiashi's subordinate Wenwu realize that the cutting-edge equipment of the Great Qin Empire and the corresponding elite troops can compete with the Huns, and even show corresponding advantages.

And many officers of the Great Qin Empire knew about the existence of these equipment, such as generals such as Yingbu who directly commanded these troops, or senior officers such as Li Xin, the general of the Great Qin Empire, and senior civilian officials such as Chen Ping, they themselves knew that these new equipment had been installed on a large scale in the troops under their command, and even had formed a corresponding training and tactical system.

Therefore, it is not a strange thing if these equipment were detected by the Huns.

However, due to the factor of secrecy, Zhang Jiashi still chose to temporarily reduce the risk factor of exposure to the cutting-edge equipment, and chose to use the corresponding weapons that have been installed on a large scale in the Great Qin Empire as the basis for the demonstration.

Although these weapons are much more advanced than the current Huns, but more, these equipment can also be regarded as appearing in the war, especially in the previous months to support the Donghu people and resist the Huns' encroachment of the Donghu war, which laid the foundation for this war;

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi did not mind being carefully made by the spies of the Huns to know about the existence of these weapons.

As for whether these Huns' meticulous spies can enter Xianyang Palace, the answer is naturally no. However, the troops of these parades were not the garrison guards of Xianyang Palace, but a thousand-person team drawn from the Lantian camp, so it was not strange that this army was discovered by the Huns on the road to Xianyang.

And after Zhang Jiashi thought that the time had come in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, he said a sentence to the civil and military officials of the Great Qin Empire that he was facing: "This time the Great Dynasty Meeting, I arranged a military parade for you, hoping that you can realize the military strength of the Great Qin Empire." ”

After saying this, Zhang Jiashi turned around and walked in front of Ying Xun, then stretched out his hand, took Ying Xun's little hand, and walked towards the palace gate on a road in the center of the ministers.
