The next day, before dawn, the people in the southern suburbs were already busy.

Li Tai also led his troops to a pre-designated position according to the formation map issued by the ceremonial officer, and the 4,000 soldiers were divided into two phalanxes on the left and right, and the armor and staff and other ordnance were stored in the military tent in the rear first, and they would not be put on until the ceremony officially began.

The remaining 1,000 soldiers rode war horses and followed Li Tai to the south of the city to wait for the arrival of the chariot. In addition to his team, several other generals such as Da Xiwu and Dou Luning also led the armor soldiers to line up here.

Today's government soldiers do not have the ability to stay in the guard, and their dispatch power still belongs to the Chinese and foreign governments. Therefore, although Li Tai and other generals of the government were in a very high position, they still did not have the duty to lead the troops to guard the entry and exit of the guards, so they could only stay outside the city and wait.

The government soldiers really have the function of guards, but also in the Northern Zhou Dynasty Emperor Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong period, change the sergeant to the officer, recruit the people, not only expand the function of the government soldiers, but also expand the scope of conscription, so there is a grand occasion that the Hou Xia people are half soldiers, and the military advantage of the Xianbei people in the Northern Dynasty was completely reversed in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, the government soldiers had already broken away from the system of the original Six Pillars and the Twelve Generals, and the nature of private music was gone, or it could simply be said that they had become the emperor's soldiers.

Therefore, the power of the Northern Zhou emperor in this period was unprecedentedly strengthened, and its ability to centralize power was not possessed by other emperors in the same period. In the second year of Jiande, Emperor Wu of Zhou changed the sergeant to an attendant, and in the third year of Jiande, he issued an edict to begin to destroy the Buddha, and there are some causal relationships between them.

Soon after Li Tai and his entourage arrived outside the city gate, the sound of propaganda on behalf of the arrival of the public opinion driver sounded in the city, and the soldiers of the forbidden army who were guiding the street in front had already arrived at the city gate first.

It didn't take long for the driver to slowly drive out. There was no one in the first car, only the enthronement edict of the emperor announcing the ministers yesterday, and the car was followed by Taichang, Zongzheng and other officials. Behind this car, it is convenient for as many as hundreds of people to come out of the city with the honor guard of Yubao preaching and waving flags.

After an interval of more than a mile, the emperor's car drove out, and there were hundreds of people guiding and escorting the followers.

Followed by the rear, that is, the civil and military ministers under the Taishi Yu Wentai, according to their different statuses, either by car, or by horse, plus their respective honor guards, there are thousands of people, because the front and back have to be separated from each other, and it took more than an hour to go out of the city alone.

Li Tai naturally didn't need to stay here and wait, and after the emperor's car drove out of the city, he led the team to follow, escorting the emperor's car all the way to the Daci Imperial Fortress that had been built near the mound.

At this time, the new monarch Yuankuo had already changed into an imperial crown, although his body was a little thin, but he was also quite solemn. The public driver drove directly into the front of the big time, and then the emperor changed the chariot with the support of the attendants, and entered the big tent.

Li Tai also dismounted in front of the big time, and after seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh, no wonder many people want to be emperors, even if they are just a puppet, they can enjoy such a star-studded treatment, it is really easy for people to be intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

After that, all kinds of complicated etiquette were not repeated, and when the time came, when the ministers slowly ascended the mound from the emperor, the soldiers of the army were also clearly dressed and arranged around the mound.

Among them, the men and horses from Jingzhou are the most eye-catching, not only because their formation is closest to the mound, but also because the soldiers are neatly arrayed, and their bodies are filled with a high-spirited morale, especially the excellent armor and armor, which far exceeds those friendly troops around them.

The Chinese and foreign governments attach great importance to this ceremony, and all the people attending the meeting also strive to do their best. But a lot of things don't work well with passion, especially when there is a clear gap in ability.

Since the Battle of Bishan, Yuwen Tai Bafu has been committed to the construction of armed forces, and today's government soldier system has indeed become considerable, but some things have not had time to be improved, such as the problem of military equipment of government soldiers.

The Bafu has a considerable number of armor workshops, and every year it produces a large number of armor equipment to arm the army. But the problem is that most of the government soldiers belong

The various departments and township parties in the Kansai region were strong, so it was impossible for the Chinese and foreign governments to carry out large-scale redressing of the whole army, especially the relatively high-end armor and crossbows and other valuable ordnance, and even the troops directly under the Chinese and foreign governments would not be issued until wartime.

In this way, there will be no unified standard for the government and armed forces. When on the real battlefield, this is not a problem, it doesn't matter what kind of armament, it is good to be able to use it and kill the enemy.

But in such a purely ceremonial occasion today, the various armor and equipment seem unsightly, untidy and unsightly.

As early as when he left northern Shaanxi, Li Tai had been working hard to build his own armed supply system, but due to the limitations of technology, personnel and resources, the development has not been very good.

It was not until he succeeded in stealing from the Eastern Wei Dynasty during the Battle of Jade Bi that Li Tai obtained a large number of skilled craftsmen in the Jinyang Palace, so that there was no need to invest in huge and difficult explorations in this matter.

Later, these personnel were successively transferred by him to the north of the country, and the Nanyang Basin was a very important iron-smelting center as early as the Han Dynasty, and all kinds of resources in the region were very abundant, plus investment and production expansion everywhere.

Up to now, his ordnance workshop in Chubei has risen in scale, not to mention being unique in the world, but except for the few places in Jinyang where even famous ministers and generals go to work hard from time to time, and even work here, there are not many ordnance centers that can compare to the scale of Chubei.

Since Li Tai plans to return to the country to show off his might, he will not discount it in this regard. He returned home with a large number of armor, each sergeant had a basic set, and some special branches of the army also carried a strengthened model. Now all of them are on display, and it is a wonderful scenery made of steel!

On this day, the new monarch sacrificed to the sky, and the emperor who had just ascended the throne and Yuwentai, who had successfully completed the abolition, should have been the absolute central figures in the field, but almost everyone's attention was seized by the majestic atmosphere displayed by the people and horses of Jingzhou.

People who understand military affairs can naturally see more details, but even those who don't know anything about military affairs can't help but feel majestic when they see the metallic luster in the sun!

Because the appearance of Jingzhou people and horses was too amazing, in the end, everyone didn't care much about the progress of the ritual of sacrificing to the sky, including the emperor standing on the mound, in addition to carrying out the necessary prayers to the sky, most of his eyes fell on the mighty Jingzhou army phalanx.

A ceremony lasted for several hours, and when the emperor stepped down the mound and returned to Daci, the ministers did not feel anything, but when the people around the mound evacuated and returned to the camp, many people present looked at the departing Jingzhou army and let out a sigh of regret.

Ordinary people still stop at admiring the majesty of the army, but some generals who lead the army are more active, and some people are already thinking about the cost-effectiveness and necessity of such a large-scale armed army.

Taishi Yu Wentai was also emotional, and as soon as he stepped down the mound, he couldn't hold it back, raised his hand and beckoned Li Tai to ask: "The armor of the Guanbo Mountain army is very heroic, and thousands of apprentices have one armor, all of which are made by Jingzhou? How much to make? Is there a job manager?"

This series of questions made Li Tai not know where to answer. It's no wonder that Yu Wentai is so excited, his understanding of Jingzhou is limited to descriptions from other people's mouths, he only knows that the situation in Jingzhou under Li Tai's governance is very good, but to what extent it is good, he has not yet had an accurate understanding.

Besides, this kind of army armament can be regarded as a military secret, even on the actual battlefield, unless there are special tactical requirements, it will not be covered with the entire army and the armor. After all, everyone is here to fight, not to carry big bags. In the face of ordinary troops, naturally there is no need to be so troublesome. In the face of a strong army, mobility and combat rhythm are more important than pile defense.

So except for this kind of special pretending occasion, such scenes are really uncommon under normal circumstances. But once you see it, it can be impressive and unforgettable.

"Jingzhou's weapons manufacturing and supply is not something that can be clearly explained in a short statement. The minister didn't play a special performance before, which was really an oversight. Later, I will play all the things with a big eye, so that I can read them for the Lord to read!"

Since Li Tai has put it out, he is not afraid of being known, so he also asked Yuwentai about it

There is no evasion, when even the expression said.

"Okay, okay, as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, Yu Wentai also nodded again and again, and then turned his head to the crowd around him and said with a smile: "Boshan can always surprise people, although I knew this situation for a long time, I still can't help but sigh! Providence is benevolent, and this gentleman is created to benefit the world!"

This evaluation is really a bit exaggerated, but everyone didn't feel abrupt after hearing it, and the first few people nodded again and again, praising what the master said was true.

As he spoke, everyone returned to the tent to change into their dresses, and then returned to the palace together.

After Li Tai retired to Yuwentai, he came to Dajiwai again, and was summoned into the account by the eunuch to convey the emperor's dictation not long after he was established.

In the imperial tent, the emperor had already changed the solemn crown, and when he saw Li Tai entering, he stood up and looked at him, and said, "After the sacrifice to heaven is over, the ceremony has finally come to an end. A few days before and after, there was Lao Taiyuan Gong Gong from the shelter, I thank you here."

"It is the duty of the ministers to obey the holy car, how dare you have Your Majesty Lao so courteous to the ministers!"

When Li Tai heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said.

After hearing this, a hint of brilliance flashed in Yuan Kuo's eyes, and after a little silence, he suddenly looked at Li Tai and whispered, "How is the quality of this supreme being, how can the Duke of Taiyuan not know? is still willing to pay homage to me, which shows that the inner truth is pure. I don't know the will of heaven and will delay a few times to abandon me, but I hope that I can be in harmony with Taiyuan Gongyi at the moment. It's not that I hope to break with the power of Taiyuan Gong and the world, but I just hope that when God abandons me, Taiyuan Gong can feel the reason and shelter me for a place!"
