Chapter 151: Preparation before the martial arts

Li Shen went to Yulinwei, asked Li Zhiming to transfer 2,000 people, asked for someone of similar height, and followed Li Shen to the academy.

Li Shen recruited Xue Rengui and Li Jing again, plus Li Zhiming, and the four of them began to discuss martial arts. This lecture on martial arts is different from the past, and the plan proposed by Li Shen is novel and can show the demeanor of a soldier.

So the four of them coincided, and then Li Shen began to tell how to parade.

Li Shen moved out the military parade ceremony in his previous life, in his previous life, Li Shen, as a patriotic youth, had seen two big military parades, the 70th anniversary of the anti-fascism in 15 years, and the large-scale military parade in the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 19 years.

According to the current situation and the division of troops, he needs to show all the arms of Datang.

The infantry chose pikemen and sword men, the cavalry chose heavy cavalry, and the equipment soldiers included bed crossbows, siege engines, and finally archers. There are also students who belong to the official formation, which has been studied until the evening.

The next day, they began to prepare equipment, including weapons and equipment, and the Northern Ya Forbidden Army had them. It's only half a month, so Li Shen can't ask for so perfection.

But at least uniformity is still necessary, so these two thousand people have suffered, and the first batch of students of Yu Linwei are responsible for training. Li Zhiming personally supervised, and what he couldn't do was a whip.

Li Shen prepared cavalry, sword soldiers, spearmen, archers, and baggage phalanxes. It includes siege engines, ladders, bed crossbows, trebuchets, etc., all of which have wheels underneath, which are all found in the Northern Ya Forbidden Army.

There is also armor Li Shen asked the Ministry of Industry to rebuild, including the weapons to be unified. Like siege vehicles, ladders, trebuchets, and trebuchets all need horses, so the horses must be tall horses of one color, and the cavalry Li Shen is ready to use the five hundred cavalry of the palace. Save the hassle and don't need to go out of your way to equip yourself.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Engineering has some inventory, otherwise it would be enough to complete.

The newspaper has reported that half a month later, that is, the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, a martial arts ceremony was held in front of the Imperial City Suzaku Gate to show the demeanor of the Tang Dynasty soldiers to the people.

In this era, this kind of political activity is like a festival, and many people want to witness it, so many outsiders rush to Chang'an.

In Li Shen's Dongshan military camp, there were daily sounds of invective, whipping, and the barking of horses. The sound of the wheels of the machine, as if there was a war going on inside. And the half-moon period is getting closer and closer.

The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was August 14, and today Suzaku Street is particularly lively, and Suzaku Street is the street in front of Suzaku Gate.

Li Shen looks like a small square, and the streets are very wide. Early in the morning, the forbidden army was divided into viewing areas according to Li Shen's requirements, and the entire street was enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. On both sides of the road there was a guard at intervals.

Early in the morning, the team participating in the martial arts lecture was already waiting at the Chunming Gate in the east. Today's auspicious time reported by the Taishi Bureau is five minutes in the morning, that is, at 8:15 in the morning.

According to Li Shen's plan, the team had to enter from the Chunming Gate, the east gate of Chang'an, and they could directly pass through the Suzaku Gate. All the plans Li Shen followed the military parade process in later generations.

When the 3,000 people passed through the Chunming Gate in several squares, many people stood on both sides of the street and watched. The leader was Li Chengqian, dressed in silver helmet and silver armor, with a long sword at his waist, and a batch of white high-headed horses under his crotch.

This horse is also a Dawan horse from the Western Regions, and it is Li Chengqian's heart. At this time, Li Chengqian makes people look how majestic and majestic he is.

Next is the phalanx of cadets, which are also straight military uniforms, designed by Li Shen himself. Behind came the cavalry, and then the swords, guns, and baggage troops.

Everyone was ready to wait for Li Shimin's review, and Li Shen had already handed over the martial arts plan to Li Shimin a day in advance.

On the tower of the Suzaku Gate is where Li Shimin and the minister sit, and there is a seat for foreign envoys next to it.

Li Shimin sat here with the minister just after the time, and the Taishi Bureau informed him that the auspicious time had arrived. Li Shimin said to Li Shen next to him: "Let's start"

After hearing this, Li Shen nodded, and a guard beside him waved the order flag, and the big drum on the side of the city tower began to sound three times.

Li Shimin got up and followed Li Shen down the city tower, Li Shimin needed to ride a horse to inspect the waiting soldiers, Li Shen was not at ease and deliberately let his guards protect the periphery, and inside was Li An's hundred horsemen.

And Li Shen's follow-up is also a hostage in disguise, because everything is arranged by Li Shen, and if there is a rebellion, Li Shen will be the first to die. It's just that this is an unspoken rule, and everyone knows it, and it is also a way for Li Shen to show his loyalty.

Some people may think that so many people with weapons are not safe for the emperor, but in fact, there is no need to worry about it at all. This era is much simpler and more crude than later generations.

If there is a suspicion, you will be arrested, and no one is allowed at all the high points within three hundred meters, and the forbidden army has long occupied all positions. Moreover, Li Shimin has to assess the risk before doing anything, so there are very few emperors in history who were assassinated and died. (Rarely, not nothing, OK?) )

Li Shimin is also dressed in military uniform today, wearing a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair, wearing gold chain mail, golden boots with dragon pattern bear skin, a sword around his waist, a bright yellow cloak without wind and automatic, a BMW on his crotch, a shiny black mane, and a circle of white on his four hooves as if stepping on the clouds.

This horse was given to Li Shimin by Li Shen, and he was lured by coercion from the merchants of the Western Regions. When he bought it, he was still a foal, and Li Shimin loved it very much, and it cost a lot of money to raise it every year.

In Li Shen's words, this horse is second only to Li Tai in terms of popularity, and its weight is higher than that of Li Chengqian. Li Shimin only appeared on this occasion today.

Li Shimin rode on a horse and came majestically in front of Li Chengqian. Looking at his son in silver armor, he seemed to be very relieved to see himself when he was young.

At this moment, Li Chengqian's face was resolute, without the immaturity and frivolity of the past, and he did not cower in the face of Li Shimin.

"Not bad," Li Shimin whispered as he passed by Li Chengqian, and then continued to walk forward. Come to the cadet phalanx.

"Hello soldiers," Li Shimin, who was taught by Li Shen, waved his hand and said.

"Long live Your Majesty" I don't know how many times I have practiced the shouts in unison, which is deafening.

"The soldiers have worked hard"

"Fight for the Tang Dynasty"

At this moment, Li Shimin felt as if he had returned to the era of conquest in all directions. Turned back into the boy who was about to go on the expedition.

(Originally, the thing I wrote was to serve the Tang Dynasty, but later I felt that this feudal society didn't seem to be suitable.) So it was changed to Datang and fought. Whoever has any good suggestions can put forward, everyone will refer to them together. )
