In fact, almost everyone, including Yang Sichang, guessed wrong.

Yang Chengying didn't even tell Zhang Cunren the truth.

That's right, he's going to fight an offensive battle.

But it was not an offensive in the general sense, but an active decisive battle.

The purpose is to shake the cornerstone of the founding of the Later Jin Dynasty - the Eight Banners before Huang Taiji has not completely managed the mess left by Amin.

For this reason, Yang Chengying used the military reading as a pretext to transfer the He Kegang Department of the Guanning Army and the First Division that had just finished the Dengzhou Rebellion to Gaizhou and other places.

Disperse camps and solve the problem of material supply on the spot.

Yang Chengying also met with Meng Qiaofang and other generals in the General Military Mansion to celebrate their victory.

"Dashuai, we are looking forward to appearing at the Games more than you receiving us."

Meng Qiaofang quipped: "In front of so many people, reading out our heroic deeds is exciting to think about." ”

"When I heard that I was going to accept the military parade, those soldiers who had made meritorious contributions were very excited and looked forward to the sports meeting."

Ma Guangyuan took over the conversation.

Yang Chengying smiled: "I am also very happy that you can think like this." This time, you took the lead, and the standard battalion that participated in the defense of Haizhou followed up. ”

After the review, the arrangements for the entry of the various armies had already been sent to them for information.

But Yang Chengying believes that it is necessary to say it again to play an encouraging role.

"Don't worry, we will definitely come out of the style and make your face shine." Meng Qiaofang patted her chest and promised.

It made the others in the room laugh.

"Yang Shuai, what does it mean that you asked us to transfer the troops to Yaozhou after the Games?" Huo Weihua asked with a smile.

"Well, there are too many people coming, I have to relieve the pressure of materials."

Yang Chengying made it up casually.

Huo Weihua listened and smiled without saying a word.

Meng Qiaofang and Ma Guangyuan glanced at each other, both thoughtful.

It's not time yet, and Yang Chengying can't have a showdown.

The time came to the second day of August in the second year of Chongzhen, and the opening ceremony of the second sports meeting was held in the morning of the same day.

In terms of design, the venue adopts a straight line. In the middle is the point of the platform.

There are VIP seats on both sides of the platform, where VIPs, including Xu Guangqi, are sitting.

Wu Yunqian and other foreign envoys of the Li Dynasty all sat in the VIP seats on the other side.

Use a fence to separate the VIP seats from the public viewing seats to facilitate security.

The people sat or stood on either side of the VIP seats.

Opposite the Dianjiang platform is a temporary military band, which is responsible for the military music performance of the whole audience.

On one side of the military band, the military and local teams are preparing for the parade.

The princess, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, appeared on the stage.

However, she did not show up, but sat behind a curtain made of pearls.

Everyone at the scene got up and watched the princess sit down, and then they sat down one after another.

At the venue, Qi Shaobao's "Triumphant Song" sounded again.

This song has been circulating for several years, not only the soldiers of Liaodong, but also many people in Liaodong can sing it.

They sang along:

All of them are united, and the mountains can be shaken. Only loyal and righteous, angry bullfighting......

After the singing, Fan Wencheng stood up:

"Please ask the marshal to review the military and civilians of Liaodong."

In ancient times, there were no microphones, and it was impossible to hear sounds from long distances.

There is also a way to do this.

There will be a announcer at every distance.

They took the manuscript they had prepared in advance and told the people in the neighborhood what had happened in an explanatory tone.

When Yang Chengying appeared in military uniform and riding a white horse, the entire venue resounded with cheers.

Yang Chengying held the reins in one hand and controlled the speed of the horse. Wave your hand gently and greet the cheering people.

When he arrived in front of the army, he drew his sword and held it in front of his eyes: "Soldiers work hard! ”

"Loyalty!" The soldiers responded in unison.

Pass in front of each team up to the tail.

Yang Chengying put the sword back into its sheath, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and galloped back to Dianjiangtai.

"The military parade begins, and the pacesetters are in place!"

The soldiers carrying small flags marched in a neat manner and led the way into the field. Stand separately on the pre-prepared markers, and at intervals stand a soldier.

And planted the flag on the ground.

"Please all stand and let us mourn with a heavy heart the memory of those brave men who sacrificed their precious lives for the sake of peace!"

"Cavalry out!"

A group of cavalry slowly appeared, each holding a large flag, the bottom of which was pressed against the stirrup, and as the horses moved, the large flag fluttered high.

The names of fallen soldiers were embroidered with needlework and thread on each side of the horse, as well as ordinary people or officials who had shown up heroically for the benefit of others.

The military band sang "National Mourning" to echo these heroic souls.

In the audience, some family members heard that their relatives would appear, so they made a special trip.

They stared at the names on the flag, and when they saw the names of their loved ones, they burst into tears of sadness.

"Please sit down, and the military parade officially begins."

With Fan Wencheng's voice, Meng Qiaofang led the first division to appear.

Hundreds of soldiers who have made meritorious deeds have stepped on the dusty land.

Next is the standard camp that is still gratifying......

After the end of the infantry, it was the cavalry phalanx.

Kong Youde's cavalry division is undoubtedly the most eye-catching existence.

And then there was artillery.

A variety of cannons passed in front of everyone's eyes under the traction of the carriage.

From time to time, cheers rang out from the audience.

Finally, there is the phalanx that participates in the games.

Compared to the neat pace of the army, the phalanx of civilians is very loose.

Many people were still embarrassed and walked while covering their faces.

The face was visibly red.

The whole opening ceremony lasted until noon, and then ended.

It left a deep impression on the attendees.

Especially Xu Guangqi, Sun Chengzong and Yang Sichang.

They were all blown away.

"Yang Yuma's position in Liaodong is unshakable, which is happy or bad for Daming."

As soon as he returned to the pavilion, Yang Sichang said worriedly.

He is now the governor of Shanyong, and Liaodong Town is only separated from Shanhaiguan, and he really feels the pressure.

"Can you ask the imperial court, make Fan Wencheng and others officials, and then transfer them from Liaodong. Send another group of officials to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle. ”

Yang Sichang suggested.

"If this method is feasible, Cui Chengxiu will not stay in the position of governor of Liaodong all the time."

Sun Chengzong shook his head and said, "What's more, most of them are people who took the initiative to take refuge and haven't even taken the imperial examination." They entered the court in large numbers, what do you think about those who have participated in the imperial examination. ”

"That's right! And I found that the Mongol chiefs also attended the meeting, which shows that the situation around Liaoxi is not as bad as we thought. ”

Xu Guangqi said: "No wonder there are no Mongols on the periphery of Jizhen, and they all graze and settle near Liaoxi. ”

"Two adults, what should we do next? You can't go back empty-handed and be reprimanded by Your Majesty. ”

Yang Sichang spread his hands out, his face full of sadness.

"If you don't go back like this, what can you do?"

Xu Guangqi sighed: "Your Majesty asks for guilt, and I will bear it alone, and I will never affect the two of you." ”

Sun Chengzong also sighed.

Yang Sichang doesn't see it that way, in his opinion, Xu Guangqi, an old man, can worship the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and even has the possibility of entering the cabinet. It was not that Xu Guangqi was capable, but that the emperor used him to appease the Liaodong Army.

If the emperor really wants to blame, he will not blame Xu Guangqi, but will take him or Sun Chengzong.

Alas! I'm having a hard time. Yang Sichang thought depressedly.
