Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Air Squadron
There are still two days before Zhengdan, several main streets in the capital have begun martial law, there are a large number of soldiers, began to enter in the direction of the imperial city, never before, under a piece of curtain, I don't know what to put it, sergeants with knives and guns guarding.
Originally, Zhu Houzhao wanted to make a national flag from the previous world, but after being opposed by everyone, he had no choice but to give up.
The square in front of the imperial city is the venue for the military parade, the 12th regiment battalion, as well as Zhang Zhong's Iron Eagle Guard, Wang Shouren's Datong Defenders, Jinzhou Army, Xuanfu Army, will also participate this time, they are the army of great victory, select a part, the middle phalanx is referenced, the leader is naturally the Iron Eagle Guard, followed by the 12th regiment battalion, and the final finale is the all-heat weapon drill phalanx.
A.D. 1506, the first year of Zhengde, the first day of the first month, the big military parade.
The sky is not clear, the capital has been crowded with people, the people are standing along the street, looking out of the city, along the way by the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division on duty, the people have no commotion, they are all standing in an orderly manner, Zhu Houzhao in order to engage in the grand atmosphere, the capital is not curfew for ten days, there are hot air balloons in the air to take turns pulling the colored silk, I wish the Ming Dynasty a thousand years of undefeated, eternal prosperity.
The Xishan Battalion and the Beishan Battalion were ready to go early, and their respective generals were loudly admonishing and making the final mobilization encouragement: "Raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while, we are the elite of the Ming elite, Your Majesty is wise and martial, saying that we are the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty and a solid shield for the people, so you should not live up to Your Majesty's high hopes and trust, don't embarrass yourself, show the emperor your achievements, show the ministers of the imperial city your achievements, show the people, we are the Ming Dynasty, the long city!" ”
"Set off and be reviewed by the emperor." The general raised his hand excitedly.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
Such a voice sounded in the Xishan camp and the Beishan camp, orderly, uniform, walking towards the imperial city, stepping on the ground, shocking, the soldiers' brand-new armor, snow-bright blades, cold faces, murderous, intimidating.
The people felt their heartbeat, followed by a sudden stop, and then the blood boiled, breathing accelerated, this is the army of the Ming Dynasty, you see, the Huanghuang army, like a heavenly soldier, is they defeated the Tatars who invaded the Ming Dynasty, it was they who gave the Ming a peaceful life, such a soldier is the image of the soldier in the hearts of the people.
This is the cutest person, mighty, mighty~!
The people spontaneously sang the military song, which was composed by His Majesty himself, which made people's blood boil when they heard it, and they hated to be able to defend the country generously.
Who said that a good man is not a soldier, only if you are well-educated, Lao Tzu is not inferior to you.
Zhang Zhong's five thousand Iron Eagle Guards took the lead, with a uniform pace, five people in a row, all of them in black armor, Daming standard Hesse military boots, and walked in a neat rhythm, at this time the first ray of sunlight in the sky just appeared, and the sun shone on the black armor of the Iron Eagle Guard, the cold light was shining, and it was breathtaking.
Behind is Wang Shouren's Datong garrison, followed by Xuanfu, Jinzhou army, followed by the twelve regiments and battalions, under the Zhengyang Gate, hundreds of officials have been waiting early, civil and military generals, stand separately, on the city tower, is more than three grades of the great honorable ministers, vassal envoys.
The army that came silently in the distance made everyone hold their breath, the sense of oppression was too strong, and they didn't find this big-headed soldier in the past, with such a terrifying momentum, and they couldn't help but have some expectations in their hearts.
Liu Jin held the heavenly sword and golden sword in his hand, followed behind Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao walked with both hands behind his back, high-spirited, and climbed towards the city tower, so he chose Zhengyang Gate, because he wanted everyone to feel the strength of the Ming army, if he chose other doors, it would be a little worse, and the implication was good, Zhengyang, Zhengde, the implication was very good.
Zhu Houzhao ascended the city tower, and the ministers and more than a dozen phalanxes that had been waiting for a long time inspected the army below, and all knelt on the ground and shouted.
Long live my emperor~!
The sun just shone on Zhu Houzhao's body, and the golden robe was even more majestic, adding a sense of sacredness and solemnity, just listen to him; "I, since I inherited the throne, uphold the will of my ancestors, Taizu expelled the Tartars to save the world from dire straits, and Chengzu personally conquered the desert steppe several times, which is also brilliant, and has never compromised the barbarians, but for a hundred years, Tatar, Warat, Jiaozhi, southwest Yungui, southeast coast, Ming Nine Sides are restless, and my heart is very painful."
Zhu Hou looked down, everyone was looking at him, the people looked at him in awe, the ministers were solemn and thoughtful, and the army looked in reverence, waiting for His Majesty to review.
"Some time ago, the Tatars came to the border again, the thief's heart is not dead, the desire is difficult to fill, killing and robbing my Ming people, such as entering the realm of no one, I am very angry, why are they so unscrupulous, why can they be so unscrupulous, why can they be so unscrupulous, I disregard the minister's advice to oppose the pro-conquest, resolutely led the army in Datong, fortunately the soldiers used their lives, the first battle was able to destroy the Tatars, Duoyan three coalition army of 130,000 people, who said that my Ming army has fallen, you say, have you fallen?" Zhu Houzhao asked loudly.
Kill, kill, kill~!
Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, the sound shook the sky, and the murderous spirit was soaring, using their attitude to prove that they had not fallen.
The ministers on the city tower are not very satisfied with Your Majesty's words, is it that Your Majesty only has these martial artists in your eyes.
Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with their attitude, took the golden sword of the Son of Heaven from Liu Jin's hand, pulled it out, and under the sun, he was heroic and extraordinary, raised his sword forward, and said word by word; "Big, bright, ten thousand, win."
Wansheng Wansheng!!
Zhang Zhong stood up at the right time and commanded; "Iron Eagle Guard, the first phalanx, accept His Majesty's review, and come out of the ranks."
Zhu Houzhao asked them to completely follow the way of reviewing the army in their previous lives, soldiers, marching salutes, splitting guns, and walking, although the time was short, but the Iron Eagle Guard was the best of all the army teams, which met the emperor's expectations.
The other teams are worse than the heat, in this era, such a novel phalanx team appeared, the strong visual shock is conceivable, the uniform pace, all the black armor, the same movement, the same height, when they walked through the Zhengyang Gate Tower, split the gun, the military salute, everyone felt that their eyes were bright, and their hearts were agitated.
I praise it in my heart, what a mighty army.
Zhang Zhong shouted hoarsely; "The second team, the Datong Army, will be reviewed by His Majesty and will be out of the ranks."
Wang Shouren's execution ability is very strong, in less than a month, the training method of the Iron Eagle Guard, he learned, the Datong defenders already have a look, they are cold weapon phalanx, long knife erection, marching salute, when walking through the city tower, salute to Zhu Houzhao.
The soldiers all looked at the Emperor with firm eyes and adoration, and cast their eyes on His Majesty the Emperor, who was wise and martial in their hearts.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and once again provoked the ministers to frown, he had never seen such a majesty, Liu Li Xie and the three pavilion elders did not feel anything, and they were no longer surprised by Zhu Houzhao's behavior.
As the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has such an army and such an emperor, and they also puff up their chests, and being born in the Ming Dynasty is their greatest pride.
The envoys of various countries, especially the envoys of the Wa Kingdom and the Wara Jiaozhi, were even more frightened, the army of the Ming Dynasty was silent for a hundred years, and it was impossible to imagine that there could be such a strong military appearance, which was really a great country.
The envoy of the king of Goryeo was the most excited, the stronger the Ming, the stronger they were, and now the giant-like Ming is once again majestic in the world, no longer silent, just like the Yongle Emperor a hundred years ago, to see who else can bully them.
The Japanese state has always been unwilling to fail, from time to time to harass Goryeo, and the master of the Ming Dynasty only issued an order every time, so that the Japanese state became more and more unscrupulous, plus the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, and was disturbed by the Japanese invaders to take care of themselves, and there were Tatar border troubles in the north, they could only passively bear it.
The Goryeo envoys smiled as if it were a military parade in their own country, cheering and shouting, and from time to time they looked towards the side of the envoys of the Japanese kingdom, their eyes defiant.
The envoy of the Japanese state ignored him, his eyes were just staring at the military formation below, his eyes were worried and frightened, he was comparing the strength of his own side and the army of the Ming Dynasty, and found that there was no comparison at all, whether it was equipment or the quality of the army, there was no comparison, this discovery made him frightened, and he did not notice the provocation of the Goryeo envoy at all.
Every time they walked through a phalanx, there were earth-shattering cheers under the city tower, and the people were happy when they only saw the strength of the Ming soldiers.
The chief officers of the guards from all over the country who came to participate in it were thoughtful, and after seeing this unique review, they all felt that the trip was worthwhile, and they thought about whether they would do the same after they went back, but unfortunately they did not know the essentials, and they did not know how to start, and it seemed that His Majesty had a deep meaning for them to come.
About an hour later, more than a dozen phalanxes have completed the journey, the main event is coming, the live-fire drill is the purpose of Zhu Houzhao asking them to come to the capital, hot weapons must be developed, now do not let these bigwigs see it, it will not be troublesome to promote it in the future.
Zhang Mao and Zhang Zhong, one is a military boss and the other is a temporary commander, standing in front of the city tower, bowing down, Zhang Zhong said; "The ground army has been fully read, please instruct Your Majesty."
When people heard that the ground army had all been read, could there still be a sky army, although the envoys of various countries knew that the Ming Dynasty had things that could fly and carry people, but it was only hearsay, and there were few people who had really seen it, and there was only one.
In their opinion, it would be good to be able to build such a magical thing, but could it still be mass-produced?
But the truth is shocking, it's really not just an airship.
Zhu Houzhao nodded and gestured to Liu Jin.
Liu Jin led the order to the city tower, he is Zhu Houzhao's royal "pilot", without him, how can the airship fly, the training of flight personnel is very troublesome, not everyone dares to go up, although everyone rushes to go, but when they go up, they are scared to pee more.
When the huge flamethrower roared, it flew from above and stayed in the air in front of the city gate.
The flying team, there were eleven airships, and there were three people on one plane, all of whom were carefully selected by Liu Jin, and the "pilots" who were selected by Liu Jin saluted Zhu Houzhao, and then slowly flew to the exercise site, staying in the sky above more than a dozen phalanxes, and they could stay in the air, which was also terrible, and they were not afraid of scaring people out of the air.
There is news that when the Ming Emperor was in Datong, he brought an airship, and then defeated the Tatars, although I don't know how to do it, but manned flight is indeed an incredible thing, but soon Zhu Houzhao can let them understand what role these airships can play.
Some people may be more familiar, such as Wang Shouren, such as Yang Yiqing, such as Zhang Mao, such as all the troops below who participated in the battle with the Tatars, everyone's heads were filled with awe and expectation, looking at the sky, including Zhu Houzhao, and they all clenched their hands.
It's his masterpiece, and that's what he's looking forward to.
