Chapter 169: Military Exercise Deterrence

In addition to the elite soldiers trained in Beijing, there were also soldiers and people who were transferred from Shandong, Gyeonggi and other places.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms were a little stunned, this momentum was too much, I just don't know if it was an embroidered pillow, you know, the war is not won by roaring.

Although these 100,000 soldiers are new troops, they have been trained all summer, and the army is neat and full of momentum.

Cavalry outflanking, infantry phalanx, cavalry and foot melee, hot and cold weapons coordination...... Various tactics were staged one by one.

Bang bang bang......

Boom Boom Boom ......

The gunfire on the school field was incessant, and the sound of artillery was earth-shattering.

Gabriel and the others were shocked to open their mouths when they saw the attack of the Great Ming Suisiliers.

It's not just the speed of the soldiers' firing and the way they are arranged, but also the three-stage firing of the first team and the second team's reloading, which makes the lead bullets rush towards the target like a storm, and the flying wood chips are shocking.

I was even more amazed at the number of their equipment, which was a cavalry team of 10,000 people, and each person actually had a flintlock pistol.

What amazed them even more was a new type of musket that they had never seen or heard of.

You don't need to reload bullets, you can hit three times in a row, and the firing distance is far beyond that of a flintlock pistol.

"With this kind of musket, Da Ming can be called the strongest in the mainland!" Gabriel muttered.

Immediately, the tiger squat cannon and the red-clothed cannon came on the field one by one, and the roaring loud noise and the shattering target made the envoys of the Three Kingdoms suddenly change color.

They could all see that these firearms had been improved, and their great lethality and range were far beyond their understanding.

Gabriel imagined in his mind that the Ming warship had already turned sideways and bombarded their warship, while his own warship was still galloping, because they had not yet entered the attack range......

"This is terrifying, Da Ming, it's so powerful!"

Subsequently, the infantry went into battle, the spear was based on the enemy, the mace was slashed, and the marching array was staged in turn, 20 Chongzhen crossbows were quickly installed, 2000 crossbow arrows were fired in one salvo, hitting the imaginary enemy 500 steps away, and then, 100 Ming sergeants held small Chongzhen five-arrow crossbows, and completed three rounds of salvos in a row in a few breaths, and shot out 1500 short crossbow arrows, and the scarecrow 200 steps away has become a hedgehog.

If they attack the rushing steppe cavalry, they will definitely be able to shoot ten times the enemy!

After the salvo of crossbow arrows, mortars and grenades began to come into play, and the school yard roared again.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms were curious about these two new types of firearms, but unfortunately they were too far away, and they could only see their power, but they could not see the specific appearance of the weapons.

"How could such a small weapon burst out with such a powerful force, how did Da Ming do it." Gabriel couldn't help but stand up slightly, hoping that he could see the details of those weapons, he wanted to copy them too much.

Giorges couldn't stop swallowing his spit, and said in his heart: "The Ming army is fully armored, the firearms are sharp, the military appearance is neat, and the majesty is overwhelming, we Portugal must not be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, at least on land." ”

Gabriel was also shocked, even if their Spanish peerless war horses charged intensively, it would be difficult to resist such powerful firearms and crossbow arrows! We will never be able to attack the land of Daming, they are definitely the land overlords!

"This is only the army of the two northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, what if the whole country?" The Dutch envoy said to himself, "At least I heard that I still have white pole soldiers and coyote soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, if they are all so powerful, it is terrible, fortunately it is difficult for them to reach Europe by land, otherwise, Europe will usher in the second Yellow Peril!" ”

Gabriel's eyes were sharp, and he found that the military uniforms of the Ming soldiers were all new, and even the firearms were brand new, "There are so many wars in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty at the same time, can there still be enough national strength to build armaments equipped with 100,000 people at any time!" ”

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms were in their hearts, this former behemoth, until now, is still the overlord of the East, they can only do business honestly, and they can't have any other thoughts.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not prepare for the expedition, otherwise, the entire South Seas, and even India, would have been occupied by the Ming Kingdom.

In the end, 5,000 Shandong militiamen shouted the slogan of shaking the sky, and they wore peasant costumes and carried wooden sticks, and danced in the school yard.

The sound of 5,000 sticks hitting the ground and colliding with each other was shocking.

"Are the farmers of Daming also so strong? This is really not what the Ming soldiers pretended? ”

Gabriel had met the Chinese in Nanyang, most of whom were poor and skinny.

But the Shandong Han in front of him is completely comparable to the top soldiers in Europe, and he fully believes that if this Ming army is pulled to Europe, it will definitely become one of the strongest armies!

Chongzhen sometimes watched the military exercises, and sometimes looked at the expressions of the envoys of the Three Kingdoms.

Chongzhen is very satisfied with the performance of Westerners, and believes that for a long time, they dare not have any wrong thoughts. In the future, trade negotiations will also be smoother.

Chongzhen had long instructed the cabinet that if the Westerners were unwilling to sell warships to the Ming Dynasty, they would threaten them and sell these artillery guns to their enemies, and the Ming Dynasty didn't care who was doing business with him, only whether he could get what he wanted.

The military exercise lasted for two hours, and came to an end under the shocked expressions of the civil and military officials and the respectful attitude of the envoys of the three countries.

The next day, outside the palace gate at noon, an altar stood tall and flags of various colors fluttered in the wind.

Under the leadership of the cabinet, the civil and military officials stood neatly under the altar, and Chongzhen stood on the altar with the crown prince, King Ding and King Yong.

"It's auspicious!"

With the high-pitched voice of the inner supervisor, the ceremony of worshipping the heavens began.

Although Chongzhen does not like this kind of cumbersome ceremony, but this era is bound to go through these scenes, this grand sense of ceremony, is part of the war, officials and people will believe that Wang Shi has been blessed by God, and it is also very effective in improving the morale of the army.

The inner supervisor read out the conquest document, and at the same time announced that the crown prince would supervise the country, and the king would go out with the army. After Baiguan Mountain shouted long live, the cannon roared at the scene of the ceremony, the ritual music surrounded the beams, Emperor Chongzhen personally sacrificed to the sky, the three princes and the civil and military officials followed to kneel and worship, praying for the protection of the heavens, and turning evil into good fortune.

After a series of procedures, the thumping salute sounded again, and the sound spread throughout Gyeonggi, and everyone chanted Long live the Ming Dynasty and my emperor.

Chongzhen walked down the altar, rode on the royal horse, and came to the front of the Liao army under the support of the Jinyi guard.

The crown prince led the hundred officials to bow down and congratulate the emperor on his victory and triumph as soon as possible.

Under the leadership of Emperor Daming, the 30,000 army left the noon gate, passed through the Fengtian Gate and the Zhengyang Gate, marched neatly and solemnly, and went out of the Yongding Gate, which was considered to have completed all the expedition ceremonies.

The people could only watch from afar, although they couldn't see the appearance of the Liao army clearly, but they knew that the Ming army would definitely be able to sweep away Liaodong and annihilate those robbers who entered the pass and plundered.
