Chapter 211: Young Officers
"Isn't it a review? What is this? Zhu Xianming looked curious.
"Daddy...... You'll find out in a moment! β
Although it was not a formal review, seeing that the adjusted positions could be kept neat, Zhu Xianming's evaluation of them was a few points higher.
Soon the team stopped on the east side of the school field, and the entire school field was quiet again, and the army was waiting for Zhu Jinghong's order.
I saw Zhu Jinghong order again: "The review begins!" β
At the same time as the order is delivered, war drums are beaten on the school grounds, and the rhythm of the drums will determine how fast or slow the army will march.
As the drums sounded, the phalanx of light infantry, which was in the first line, moved in a neat pace, and the ranks behind them also began to advance.
"Dad, this is a phalanx of light infantry!"
"Hmm!" Zhu Xianming remained calm.
He was fascinated by it, in addition to the unity of pace and swinging arms, this square team was in a line both horizontally and vertically, which made him even more frightened.
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong opened his mouth and explained: "The entire phalanx ...... Thirty people in a horizontal row and ten people in a vertical row, a total of 300 people, forward and backward like one person! β
Looking at the team that was getting closer and closer, Zhu Xianming nodded unconsciously.
However, in the next moment, I only heard the two thousand households of the team leader shouting: "To the right...... See! β
The next moment, three hundred soldiers unsheathed their swords and hung their swords in front of the front door.
At the same time, they turned their heads to look at the reviewing stand, and then shouted, "Your Majesty the Emperor...... Banzai! β
The bright sword light, coupled with the neat and heavy footsteps, once again shocked Zhu Xianming.
Walking forward twenty meters on the "positive step", I only heard the leader Qianhu shouting: "Forward...... See! β
I heard the entire phalanx shouting: "Da Ming...... The country is forever! β
Then they lowered their swords and changed from a straight step to a marching in unison.
At this moment, Zhu Xianming couldn't sit still, so he got up and walked to the front of the review stand, just to see more clearly.
The second phalanx was the crossbowmen, who carried quivers behind them and a repeating crossbow machine in front of them.
"Look to the right ......"
As the leader of the team shouted, the crossbowmen in the phalanx raised the crossbow machine and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty the Emperor...... Banzai! β
Listening to the heavy and neat footsteps, as well as the hoarse sound of chanting, Zhu Xianming couldn't mention how happy he was.
The military parade can still be played like this, this old thirteen really thinks.
The crossbowmen were followed by hoplites, who looked like a wall of shields in one hand and spears in the other.
I only heard Zhu Xianming say: "They all say that they don't move like mountains, I see them moving, and they also have the tendency to overwhelm the mountains and seas!" β
finally had a comment, although he didn't praise it directly, but he could hear that the emperor was very satisfied, which made Zhu Jinghong feel a lot more at ease.
"Your Majesty the Emperor...... Banzai! β
When the shouts rang out again, the spears pointed forward, as if the tips were moving in a plane.
"Good...... Very good! β
At this time, Zhu Xianming was finally "broken", and naturally shouted this sentence.
After the pikemen passed, the fourth one came over was the phalanx of firearms.
The soldiers held the butt of the rifle in their right hand, put the body of the gun against their shoulder, and the muzzle position of the gun was also installed by Zhu Jinghong with a bayonet.
Of course, these bayonets were added temporarily, just to play a "decorative" role, and it was naturally unrealistic to use them in actual combat.
"The action of splitting the gun, you can't go wrong!" Zhu Jinghong thought silently in his heart.
The team was far closer, and after the leader Qianhu shouted to look to the right, they slashed forward with their sonorous and powerful and uniform end guns, and the soaring murderous aura simply rushed to the face.
"Your Majesty the Emperor...... Banzai! β
The mountain cry was still heard, and the reverence on the faces of the soldiers made the emperor on the high platform in full view.
"Very good...... Very good! Zhu Xianming gave the highest evaluation.
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved, it seems that this errand is going smoothly so far.
"Da Ming...... The country is forever! β
As the musket phalanx went away, the light cavalry came next, allowing dozens of horses to maintain the queue, and this hand alone impressed Zhu Xianming.
It's still the same slogan, it's still a neat and uniform pump, Zhu Xianming is no longer holding it at the moment, and he shows a satisfied smile.
The light cavalry passed and then the heavy cavalry, and then the phalanx that pulled the artillery, and everything was so neatly coordinated.
All the phalanxes passed, and they re-marched in front of the parade and the review platform, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's inspection.
"Old Thirteen, you did a good job on this errand!"
Zhu Jinghong hurriedly came to the throne and said, "Dad, this is nothing, if you practice for more than ten days, you will definitely be more imposing!" β
"Call those team leaders, I have something to say!"
"Yes!"
After a while, more than a dozen deputy Qianhu and Baihu rushed over, and they were leading the team in front of the team just now.
Of the fourteen people in total, nine of them were released from the Dragon Guard, and they could be called the emperor's own people.
Among the remaining five people, some were promoted by ability, and some were awarded official positions through martial arts.
No matter what the way you come from, it is extremely rare to meet the emperor at this moment, and it is a matter of supreme glory.
Normally, it is impossible for them, middle- and lower-ranking officers, to be summoned by the emperor.
"Wait and greet Your Majesty!" All the people were in armor, and they still bowed their heads.
"Hmm...... Get up! β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After everyone stood up, seeing that they were still in line and standing in place with their heads held high, Zhu Xianming was even happier in his heart.
"This review is magnificent, the military appearance is neat, and it is very ......"
"But what makes me even happier is such a feat...... It was set up by you young people, which is equivalent to saying that there are successors in my Ming army! β
"You are all still young, and you must make persistent efforts in the future, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future!"
encouraged everyone, Zhu Xianming's words aroused everyone's excitement, and they were more motivated for a while.
After these people retreated, under Zhu Jinghong's reminder, the guards in charge of training were also summoned.
For these younger reserve military attachΓ©s, Zhu Xianming did not hesitate to praise them, which also made the guards equally enthusiastic.
summoned these young people and felt their youthful atmosphere, Zhu Xianming also felt that he was much younger.
It could be seen that the old man was in a good mood, and Zhu Jinghong said in a timely manner: "Dad...... The sergeants have trained hard, and since you are satisfied today, you can see ......"
"Reward...... There must be a reward! β
"Message...... Each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, two stones of rice, and a pot of wine! β
When converted, these things cost about twelve taels of silver, which is about one-third of the annual income of these sergeants, which is already an extremely rich reward.
There are more than 1,500 people, almost 20,000 taels, and the emperor is generous this time.
Soon the will was conveyed, and the sound of gratitude sounded at the scene like thunder, expressing the soldiers' reverence for the emperor.
And Zhu Jinghong, as the "middleman", will also benefit from this incident.
The impression that it is beneficial to follow him will gradually become the consensus in the military.
"Okay, continue to practice hard, in half a month you will be the face of the Ming Dynasty, and you will let the envoys of the countries ...... I feel the strength of my Ming! β
Zhu Xianming thought that Zhu Jinghong would make an impassioned statement, after all, this occasion is indeed quite appropriate at the moment.
Who knew that Zhu Jinghong said: "Dad...... You can rest assured! β
This simple sentence did not disappoint Zhu Xianming, after all, the person in front of him was the thirteenth old!
"Boy, you...... Well done! β
Originally, Zhu Xianming wanted to praise Zhu Jinghong, but in the end he held back, he didn't want this little son to float.
