The canon is divided into three phases.

On the first day of Halloween, there was a military parade in the arena and a reward for meritorious service.

Before dawn, the Praetorian Guards and the Beijing camp were distributed in three layers of warning circles.

The innermost circle is the martial arts area. Here, there are really guns, knives, guns, bows and arrows, so no one can enter except for the generals.

In the middle circle, only the east, west, and north sides are set up to observe the ceremony. Among them, the north side is where the Son of Heaven, vassals, and envoys are located, and a platform is also set up in addition to the palace. to the east, it was left to scholars, village sages, and officials; To the west, there are merchants who have subscribed to government bonds.

The most marginal cordon is that idlers are not allowed to enter and act as a boundary.

As soon as the sky was bright, next to the Ten Kings' Mansion outside Dong'an Gate, and next to the north hall of the Huitong Pavilion, it was lively.

The bus and carriage have been prepared here, and the envoys of the North Pavilion are mainly the envoys of the Joseon, Jianzhou, Duoyan Sanbu, Duogan, Wusizang, Waidian and other departments.

They got the news from Daming earlier, and they left earlier, and they were basically land feudal states, so they were all arranged here.

As for the Nanyang countries, Ryukyu, Luzon, etc., they live in the South Pavilion.

Now it's not just Jin Qi and Li, there is a courtyard on the side of the Ten Kings' Mansion, and there are still people who are preparing.

"An Le Gong, there is no need to go to the hall to dance today, please leave quickly."

The dwelling here is Gunberik.

It has been a few months since the north brought back to the capital, and he has obtained a false title, which is not a real duke, but he lives in the old "Ten Kings' Mansion".

When the news reached the grassland, it was naturally the great tomorrow that the son of the emperor was very "gentle" to the chieftains and the Mongolian people, and gave courtesy.

But Gunbiric knew the truth.

Staying here, afraid to go out. Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty have been grudges for many years, and after they surrendered, the emperor did not immediately crown him as a prince of a foreign vassal and allow him to go back to restrain the people, which has conveyed his attitude.

At least Gunbilik knew very well that if he, the former nobles of Ordos, went to the street and had a conflict with others, the Ming monarchs and ministers would never be partial.

Just as Yan Chunsheng said to him like a devil that day: Tang Shunzhi wanted to find an excuse to kill more.

And when it was just arranged in this compound, it had been uncared for for a long time, and it was very deserted.

They need to pay for daily necessities, food and clothing.

For this reason, there is no other way but to send a message back to Hetao according to what the director of the Ministry of Rites and Rites said, under the pretext that he wants to make the people feel better by the Ming Dynasty, and let them sell more cattle and sheep to gather some goods and send them to the capital.

It must have been ordered by him himself, and the message must have been sent under this pretext.

The naked killing intent of the Great Tomorrow is always there.

Gunberik, though he pondered why he still wanted to spare his life, must have had something to do with it.

But he didn't dare to gamble, his life was his own.

Perhaps only complete obedience can bring about a turnaround.

Now hearing the urging of the head of the Ministry of Rites, he immediately replied with a smile: "I have already prepared, please guide the way." ”

After that, he repeatedly told the "bigwigs" of the Ordos Department who were detained in the capital with him: "Today is an important ceremony, you must behave well!" ”

The head of the Ministry of Ceremonies had a meaningful smile on his face.

He knew that Gunbiric was reminding them to suppress their displeasure, and that was right.

Surrendered and attached, these Mongol nobles did not receive real courtesy, so what?

Today is an occasion for military parades and boasting of martial arts. The Khan's court has been driven away, is it true that the Ming Dynasty still has to give them glory and wealth and hope that they can restrain the people?

Dare to be dissatisfied, dare to make trouble again, the Ming generals are worried that it will be more and more difficult to achieve military achievements in the future.

The Gunbiric people dressed in the old robes that had been given back to them after the Ming had captured them, and set out in a decent manner.

And in the Ruiwang Mansion not far from the next door, Zhu Zaiyan was also dressed.

He was to go to the palace to meet with the other vassal kings present, and then go with him.

Xia had a stage of indifference and unwillingness, but as time passed, she became more and more silent.

She could feel that this son, who had passed under her name, would gradually speak for the emperor tactfully, and he was also diligent in his studies.

Now she just helped her son tidy up his clothes a little more, stood by the door and watched him walk away and slowly paced and sat down in the chair.

The morning sun gradually rose in the courtyard, and she only sat lonely in the quiet hall, her eyes full of confusion.

In the palace, Zhu Houxi woke up from Kunning Palace this morning.

By the time he was ready, in the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, the crown prince Zhu Zaiqi, the king of Yue, Zhu Zaiqi, and the vassal king were already waiting.

When they came out of the noon gate, the civil and military ministers were also waiting here.

Behind the chariot, there were two rows of ministers holding the decree.

As you all know, that's the reward that will be read today.

Daming is going to have another Guogong again.

Wang Shouren, who lives in the capital, is sixty-two years old, and he is here today.

"Bo'an, come and talk to me."

To everyone's surprise, at this moment, the emperor was in a good mood and asked Wang Shouren to accompany him on the chariot.

Wang Shouren thanked him without any hindrance, and with the support of Huang Jin, he climbed on the big wheel and sat on the soft bench on the side.

Zhang Fujing was okay, Xia Yan and Yan Song saw this scene in their eyes and lowered their heads thoughtfully.

"Start—drive—"

Driving the book, Zhu Houxi looked at Wang Shouren and nodded reassuringly: "After returning to Beijing, my complexion is getting better and better." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Shouren owes himself, "Now that everyone is in the court, the fierce generals are like clouds, and the ministers are only dedicated to studying, and everything is worry-free, and it seems that they can live for a few more years." ”

In fact, after passing the dangerous threshold of the year, Wang Shouren has now seen it.

Even if he was re-established last year and drove the Northern Expedition, he seemed extremely relaxed.

Zhu Houxi said with emotion: "If it weren't for Bo'an's strategy in the past and besieging Bodi in one fell swoop, the situation on the grassland would have changed greatly since then, and it would be difficult for the northern plague to have a stage result so quickly." Without the foundation of the past, there would be no work today. ”

"The minister didn't dare to say anything." Wang Shouren looked at him, and the appearance of the young son of heaven in the past appeared in his mind, with a happy smile on his face, "Your Majesty, the Ming Emperor through the ages, the ministers have used their lives, and there is today's weather." ”

"It's been so many years......"

The Son of Heaven's guard of honor marched through his loyal capital, and the monarchs chatted on a slow and steady chatter.

Someone who cares looks over and sees the emperor's gratitude to the important ministers who laid the foundation.

The martial arts to boast about today and the people to be rewarded are not directly related to the past, but after all, they are one link after another.

The new monarch has been on the throne for more than ten years, and at this moment, the emperor has conveyed some information with a casual honor.

Yu Yunzhong, a descendant of Yu Qian, who served as a pacesetter and general of Yan Song, has now been transferred to Jinyiwei. He didn't have much talent, but he could still do the little thing of managing the emperor's honor guard.

Thinking of the first encounter with Wang Shouren in the post house on the outskirts of Beijing when he was ordered to enter Beijing in the sixteenth year of Zhengde to participate in Yu Qian's memorial ceremony, Yu Yunzhong couldn't help but sigh.

Several people who were ordered to enter Beijing that year, Yang Yiqing later became an official to the General Staff, and after his death, the prince Fu Ling and shared the Taimiao, Fei Hong became the first prime minister and minister of state, and Wang Shouren was awarded the title of marquis, and at this moment he was on the throne to narrate.

Next to the mountain bag designated as the "target mountain" to the south of the arena, behind a few flags, there were several soldiers full of murderous energy.

One side of the flag said that the town was safe, and then two hundred people sat on the horses and looked relaxed.

One general said Funing Zhu, followed by 500 people, the people and horses were united and silent.

One general is called Hanhai Yu, followed by 300 people, with bright armor and different weapons.

One general said Wuding Guo, followed by 1,000 people, each regiment, with horses and carts, and artillery as the mainstay.

One general flag is called Xiangcheng Li, followed by eight hundred, everyone holds a bird gun.

At the moment, although the soldiers participating in the exercise were waiting quietly, their commanders were chatting in front.

Tang Shunzhi and Yu Dayou are here.

Although there are many things to do in the border area, it is not bad for two or three months of back and forth.

Tang Shunzhi, who has been going on for a few years, has to appear here.

His merits should be proclaimed, and his abilities, matched by his youth, would be a great deterrent to foreign vassal states.

"Although it's a fake trick, Tang Dutai, you still have to command it properly." Guo Xun's ridiculous laughter is also mostly about making friends.

"How dare you, didn't General Staff Xia arrange it a long time ago? I'll just wait for the performance. ”

"You're fine, it's hard for me to act." Yan Chunsheng shook his head, "Master Guo, I will definitely let the brothers be on point later, if it hurts us, it will be ugly." ”

Guo Xun grinned and said: "The special operations battalion has come and gone without a trace, how can it not have this ability?" ”

Then it's just a small talk, and by the way, I also talk about what will happen to the future Beiyu, and what is the useful opportunity to completely defeat them.

At this moment, most of the guests who watched the ceremony were already in place, but the royal car had not yet arrived.

In their sight, there were a lot of wooden dummies standing on the north side of the mountain bag of Yanwu, which looked strange.

And on top of the mountain bag, there are some fake camps and enemy horses. Gunbiric could see clearly that it was his captured treasure.

There were two or three thousand people in the distance, and they didn't know how they would perform martial arts later.

After the sun rose in mid-air, finally the loud voice of the Ministry of Rites began to chant: "The Son of Heaven has arrived!" Kneel! ”

Among the squirming voices, the voices of those participating generals were the most neat and loudest: "Welcome to His Majesty the Emperor, long live Your Majesty!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

In the eyes of the envoys of the feudal kingdoms such as Jin Qi and Li, the Great Son of Heaven finally appeared in their sight.

Today's Zhu Houxi is not wearing a gown, but armor.

Although today is a military parade, it is quite reasonable.

But in front of so many foreign envoys, the emperor's armor is distinct, which is also a sign of palpitations after all.

And the emperor, in the midst of kneeling in all directions, ascended the hall and sat down in front of the throne, and when the person in charge of the ceremony ordered them to sit down, he simply stood up again.

Lu Bing handed him the bow and arrows, and Zhu Houxi took a few steps forward to the edge of the railing in front of the hall, and stretched his bow and arrows.

It's a chirp.

Others don't know how strong that bow is, but the emperor is full anyway. The arrow was thrown high and let out a sharp whistling before falling into the clearing in front of it.

"Let's get started."

Zhu Houxi said softly, so the martial arts show began very simply.

"All the soldiers listen to the order, and the martial arts begins!"

Tang Shunzhi was already in place, waved a small flag on a small platform in front of the hall, and the drummers on both sides began to beat the drums.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The elite soldiers who had just returned from the Hetao and Xuanning battlefields suddenly activated and began to assemble.

The direction in which they gathered was the area where the arrows fired by the Emperor were.

Needless to say, what kind of symbol it was, turning from the east side of the mountain bag to there, there was no chaos in the process, only the sound of neat steps and the shaking of the armor on the body.

"Pass my military orders! The Hanhai Bo Mandarin Duck Formation is in front, the Xiangcheng Hou Bird Battalion is behind, the Wuding Hou Artillery Battalion is arrayed, the Funing Hou cavalry flank is harassing, and the Zhen'an Bote Battle Battalion is deep into the enemy camp to disrupt its hub! ”

"Jingbian Bo has an order......"

This voice conveyed their identities to the foreign envoys and guests, and the people on the three sides of the viewing platform were a little excited.

In his twenties, he supervised the literary champion of the party, the leader of the system, Yan Chunsheng, who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and Yu Dayou, the martial champion......

These are the names of people who have been talking about it for a long time in the capital this year.

Now that they are all here, this martial arts exercise can be said to be the strongest lineup of Da Ming in the face of the strongest enemy now.

Gramtai glanced at Gunbiric, but couldn't see anything on his face.

But I guess it's not a taste in my heart.

Other foreign envoys who had not yet seen the military strength of the Ming Dynasty saw the flag waving and shouting constantly.

"The Mandarin Duck Camp listens to orders! Formation, two hundred steps forward! ”

Circle after circle of mandarin duck soldiers rolled forward, and Gunbiric was finally attacked by the painful memory, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but tremble.

"The bird battalion obeyed the order, dispersed in line, and loaded the ammunition!"

"Artillery battalion, set up guns, calibrate!"

What frightened the foreign envoys the most were the four Shenwei cannons, as well as the six second-class cannons, which were pulled by the horses, and only after they had reached a certain position did they remove their bridles and begin to assemble other objects.

Not only these four, but the artillery battalion with the largest number of people, all of the wooden barrels or boxes that they carried when they came over just now turned out to be cannons or projectiles.

In the midst of the busyness, the artillery battalion of 1,000 people actually formed hundreds of guns, large and small, in the rear of the outermost part.

At this time, two cavalry teams, one more and one less, had been activated.

The one with more was slower at the beginning, and it had not yet entered the last hundred or so steps of the charge.

The one with the less, but the one that is being stared at by more people.

Because the solemn general flag of the town in front of him was fluttering there, it was under the command of Yan Chunsheng, the general of the divine arrow, the most mysterious and strongest special combat battalion in the Ming Dynasty.

They were at full speed from the start, and now all of them are riding.

From the perspective of one of the sides, it seems that there are only two hundred horses galloping, and there is no one sitting on the horse.

The people of Ordos and Duoyan Sanbu all looked solemn.

After a while, I saw a sharper stab on the side of the leading horse as it approached the mountain bag. Where Ming Di went, it was not clear from a distance. But a moment later, the big curtain on top of the mountain bag slowly fell.

The chirping continued, and more flags were shot down on the mountain bags. Yan Chunsheng was obviously not the only one who shot the arrow.

"Good!"

Obviously, it wasn't really a vicious battle, and there was actually no one on the hill, but everyone only applauded for seeing Yan Chunsheng's archery skills.

It's not just him, I'm afraid everyone in the special operations camp is a marksman.

Then, the horses of the special operations battalion made a slight turn in their sight and reduced their speed, and many of the two hundred figures jumped to the ground before the horses could completely stop.

A few people left with the horses, and the figures dismounted were all apes, even if they ran uphill without stagnation.

At this time, the Mandarin Duck Formation to the north of Shanbao was also advancing.

They didn't push far, and it was just a demonstration.

But first of all, the cavalry on the flanks threw arrows in unison when they rushed over, and some of them were rockets.

Then there is the rotation of the Mandarin Duck Array, Mo Knife and Long Spear, and Short Hammer, and those with vision can see the power of this Mandarin Duck Array from their skillful cooperation.

In the end, they rhythmically opened the distance according to the order, one by one. Whenever they showed a gap, it was a succession of blows from the birds.

After the intensive attack of the bird battalion, it was reloaded, and at this time, the mandarin duck array was densely packed again to protect them.

The artillery battalion remained unmoved until the downed flags on the mountain were tied up again.

The so-called "chaotic center" of the special operations battalion is expressed in this way.

In short, time has not passed long, although the mountain bag is not big, but in such a little time, the special operations battalion has already touched it, and every flag has been moved.

At this moment, the cavalry finally began a second charge after a turn, this time through the formation of the wooden dummies.

This was fine, but the moment they chiseled out, the Mandarin Duck Array once again exposed a gap for the bird camp behind them. And this time, not only the birds, but also the small cannons in the artillery battalion began to roar.

There were 90 guns, and the sound of cannons really made the faces of foreign envoys colorless, and the subjects of the Ming Dynasty were in a state of agitation.

Come on for real!

Not far from the walls of the Daming capital, such a dense cannon sound sounded. The smoke and the dust scattered in the wooden dummy proved that it was a real cannonball.

"Put it again!"

The Tiger Squat Cannon has a sub-barrel design, and the interval between shelling can be very short.

At this time, someone with a heart saw that the figure on the mountain bag was rapidly retreating down the mountain.

And about ten breaths after the second cannon sounded, "Boom! Several earth-shattering loud noises shocked the subjects of the Ming Dynasty.

The Shenwei cannon roared, and the smoke and dust that were blasted out of the mountain bag made people stunned.

"Zhen Amber, are they down?"

"They're all good hands, they should ...... Come down......"

In the north, Lee who likes hipponies can see that he is famous.

It was only after the flag on the hill was raised again that the cavalry began to chisel through.

After the cavalry chiseled through, two rounds of small artillery bombarded the mountain.

There is time to leave, but this time ...... It's not too long, either.

Although the mountain bag is not big, they run up so quickly, and they have to leave in such a short time after doing some things, their skills, the accuracy of the Ming giant cannon, and the cooperation between each other are all necessary.

He couldn't help but look at the calm big tomorrow over there.

How to match the battle formations of different types of troops, aren't you afraid that these feudal countries will learn it?

The benefits of weapons and the novelty of tactics do you think that the feudal kingdom is okay if you learn it, and it is useless to learn it?

The answer to the question in his heart was the catharsis of the artillery battalion's general artillery fire.

Amid the incessant roar, Gunberic bowed his head deeply.

After Mingjin withdrew his troops, the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and there were almost two or three zhang missing from the small mountain bag, and the rocks and soil were scattered in all directions.

And the special operations battalion that came back to line up is still so many people, and the expression is still relaxed.

Guo Xun and Li Quanli called it lucky in their hearts, fortunately, all the guns used this time had been inspected and maintained in advance, and there was no scandal on the spot.

The Bird Battalion is okay, and the intensity of the artillery battalion is not low. This probably shows that the test data of the War Bureau on the rate of fire and the bearing strength of the barrel of this batch of guns are reliable.

Your Majesty's military parade cannot afford to be missed!

Zhu Houxi nodded with satisfaction: "Move to the big arena, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition, be read separately, and be rewarded for meritorious service!" ”

Outside the field is combat power, and inside the field is military appearance.

After the cannonfire stopped, more elite soldiers of the Beijing camp and the border army who returned to the capital with Guo Xun and Li Quanli began to appear in the south.

The foreign envoys looked back before entering through the south gate of the arena, and saw flags fluttering, and an endless array of troops numbering more than 10,000 shouted approaching.

It was so close that the Northern Expeditionary Army was about to celebrate the day of the announcement of their reward policy today, and the shouts reached the southeast corner of the city.

And the "Ming Wansheng" they shouted continued to spread to the west and north through the people of the capital who also echoed it with honor.

"Daming Wansheng!"

"Daming Wansheng!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

In the arena, it was the Ming monarchs and soldiers who had seen the parade, but the foreign envoys had never seen it.

"The soldiers have worked hard!"

"Fight for Daming!"

One by one, the generals led the soldiers behind them, and passed in front of the Son of Heaven with as neat steps as possible, and the Son of Heaven in battle armor of the Ming Dynasty would ask loudly.

All this is only to convey one point: this is the loyal and brave army of the Great Son of Heaven, and these armies can charge forward when he blows.

Today is only for Xuanwei.

This prestige, let the vassal state know that it should be respectful, and let those townsmen and wealthy businessmen know that the ten-year treasury bonds of the Ming Dynasty can be bought. Whether it is a stable interior, or the outside of the feudal state that is about to be established through the border city and the city division system, it can ensure that the Ming Dynasty will create a prosperous era that will go down in history again.

After the separate review, it is the preparation of the edict for the resumption and recovery of Xuanning and the expulsion of the Khan court.

The first thing was that Gunbilik submitted again, was awarded the title of Duke of Anle, and was given the residence of the Outer Prince's Mansion in Beijing's Ten Princes' Mansions.

Seeing the lords of the right wing of the Khan's court in the past prostrate in front of the Great Son of Heaven to thank him, what did the foreign envoys think in their hearts, it was their business.

The reward for the meritorious heroes made their hearts palpitate even more.

"Zhen Anbo has repeatedly made miraculous achievements, sealed the Duke of Xingguo, and added the prince Taibao ......"

"The Marquis of Funing took the lead in the brave battle, sealed the title of the Duke of the Kingdom, and added the prince to protect the ......"

"Hanhaibo is trapped, the troops are well trained, and the marquis of Hanhai is ......"

"The Marquis of Wuding was loyal and brave, chased away the Khan Court, sealed the wings of the country, and added the prince and young master ......"

"The Marquis of Xiangcheng supervised the Beijing camp, thirsted for merit and fought bravely, was crowned the Duke of Xiangguo, and added the prince and young master ......"

"Jingbian Bo strategized, plotted to recover the Hetao, sealed the Jingbian Marquis, led the army with the title of Shangshu, added the prince and the young master, and the governor of the Hetao border area......"

One after another the will of reward was recited, and one individual received the will of thanksgiving.

Those who don't know can't imagine that after this war, the Ming Dynasty will newly seal the four major dukes, two marquises, and other earls, county lords, and township lords......

This is also Xuanwei: If there are still people inside and outside the Ming Dynasty who dare to have any thoughts, do you know how red-eyed military exploits are?

Guo Xun, Zhu Qi, and Li Quanli all burst into tears.

Tang Shunzhi is a civil official, and Yu Dayou and he are still very young, only Yan Chunsheng, who is also young, is too dazzling this time.

They know they're done, but that's enough.

Loyalty to the emperor, regained the courage to reach the real battlefield again and again, and finally exchanged for these after risking his life.

Even if their merits are not very worthy, in the old ministers, they are the same as Gu Shilong before, and Zhang Wei and others who lost their heads are counterexamples.

Merit will be rewarded, and guilt will be punished.

This is Mingjun!
