1219. Start the military parade
Later, Yue Peng and others returned to the barracks stationed by their respective troops, and they all sent messages to the military region.
Zhao Dongting never mentioned the fact that he brought the old soldiers to the top of the city again.
Dozens of old soldiers were killed at the city gate, and he no longer had the face to ask the old soldiers to go to the city gate alone.
Two more days have passed.
Although Liu Qiu's king, Emperor Axing and Lord Ma Yi did not come to Linda Song again, the envoys they sent also arrived in Lin'an Prefecture.
Only the Boni Kingdom, far away from overseas, was sent to the south of Ma Yi, and also sent envoys to arrive.
I have only been acquainted with the Song Dynasty, and when I heard about the military parade of the Song Dynasty, I even planned to visit the empress in person. This time I had no news.
It was impossible for her to come to Lin'an Mansion again.
Zhao Dongting sent the State Councilor Lu Xiufu as the leader, and received envoys from all countries with a very solemn etiquette.
Although Ma Yi, Liu Qiu now respected Zhao Dongting as the Emperor of Heaven, but was actually a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. He bowed down to the Song Dynasty and paid tribute to the Song Dynasty. However, Zhao Dongting would naturally give them the courtesy he deserved.
The military parade is scheduled to be held in two days.
There are many more defenders on the city than before.
There are lights and decorations everywhere in Lin'an Prefecture.
The street in front of the palace is even more dazzling.
A golden tent was built on the palace walls.
Zhao Dongting and others will inspect the soldiers of the Song Dynasty here.
The towering city walls are divided into several areas, including the official district in the court, the jianghu people district, the foreign envoy district, and representative districts from all walks of life.
Countless people in Lin'an Prefecture look forward to this.
Under the supervision of Lin'an Prefecture and the defenders, there was no more turmoil in the city.
Two days passed quickly.
The day of the military parade is finally here.
Zhao Dongting got up early as usual. After practicing swordsmanship and internal skills, he took Le Chan, Le Wu, Ying Er, Li Xiushu, Xie Daoqing and others to the palace hall.
The only concubine in the court, Tolando, was left in the Changsha Palace.
When they arrived at the hall, all the civil and military officials in the court were waiting in the hall. Ma Yi, Liu Qiu and Bo Ni envoys were also among them.
As soon as Zhao Dongting and others appeared, the ministers saluted them. Zhao Dongting glanced at everyone and finally fell on the face of the Boni envoy, smiling and nodding at him.
The Boni envoy faced Zhao Dongting with Boni etiquette, and opened his mouth and spoke fluent Chinese, "The Boni envoy, Ma Nasi Ghana, met the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."
Boni and Zhongyuan have been in good terms since a long time ago, and trade between the two dynasties has never been cut off.
Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "No gifts are not allowed. I am here to welcome the arrival of Lord Manasi Ghana on behalf of the people of the Song Dynasty."
Then, before he walked to the dragon throne, he said to the ministers at the door of the palace: "Everyone, follow me to the top of the city to parade!"
After saying that, he turned his head and walked out of the palace with everyone.
All the ministers followed one after another.
Boni envoy Manasi Ghana first followed the crowd, but then approached Zhao Dongting intentionally or unintentionally.
This was noticed by Zhao Dongting, who already had the Zhenwu realm cultivation level. He looked back and asked Ma Nasi Garner with a smile: "Does Ma Nasi Garner have something to say to me?"
Manasi Ghana was slightly stunned and said, "Manasi Ghana came on behalf of the king of our country. The king and people of Boni are willing to respect you as the Emperor of Heaven."
Zhao Dongting raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mr. Ma Nasi Ghana's words are serious?"
Although Manasi Ghana and Zhongyuan had always had close contacts, he never thought that Bo Ni would suddenly respect him as the Emperor of Heaven.
After all, the territory of the Song Dynasty and Boni are far away from the vast sea. Even if the Song Dynasty is strong, it will not be possible to pose any threat to Boni in a short period of time.
Manasi Ghana saluted again and said, "Manasi Ghana naturally dared not speak nonsense. I just hope that after our resignation, the emperor can help our Boni Kingdom resolve the crisis."
Zhao Dongting walked along with a thoughtful look on his face, "Are you talking about Manraga?"
The situation in the South China Sea Islands is complicated, so Zhao Dongting also knows a little about this.
Although the power of the Song Dynasty has expanded far to the South China Sea Islands, the merchants who come and go can always bring back a lot of news.
In Chameng and south of Zhenla, there are more than ten countries such as Manraga, Sanfoqi, and Boni on the coastal land and sea islands.
Some of these countries have good friendships and some are hostile. The complex relationships between them are more complex than the situation in the Central Plains.
In the past, Funan was the most prosperous in the South China Sea. However, in recent years, Funan's reputation has been declining.
This is entirely due to the rise of the country of Malacca.
The Manraga State was actually supported by the strong support of land countries such as Cham City and Zhenla, and it flourished so much. It can even be said that it is a puppet of Cham City, Zhenla and other countries.
Now, the country of Malacca is expanding everywhere, and it means to rule the countries in the South China Sea.
“That’s right.”
Manasi Ghana was surprised at Zhao Dongting and said, "Even Emperor Song, do you know the wolf ambitions of Manraga?"
Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "I heard from the people in the merchant fleet that the country of Manraga has stirred up the sky among your countries in recent years."
There was a hint of hatred in Manasi Ghana's eyes and said again: "On behalf of our king, Manasi Ghana, once again begged Emperor Song, you to help our Boni country and expel Manraga."
Zhao Dongting sighed softly when he heard this, "The Boni Kingdom has always been in good terms with our Song Dynasty, so of course I don't want to stand by and watch. You should know that my Song Dynasty navy has just been formed, so I am afraid that I can't sail to Boni to help. Our soldiers are still unable to adapt to such naval battles."
He looked back at Manasi Ghana, "I hope the Lord and the King will understand it."
"this……"
Manasi Garner looked bitter, but he also knew that Zhao Dongting was talking about the truth.
In the past, the Song Dynasty was weak and was beaten to the verge of destruction by the Yuan Dynasty. The navy in the court was even more dead. The current Song Dynasty navy has really begun to be formed again.
Such new recruits cannot adapt to life at sea in a short time.
Furthermore, the generals in the army will definitely not be very familiar with the maritime environment.
That is a completely different situation from land combat.
After pondering slightly, Manasi Garna suddenly thought of something and said, "Emperor of Heaven, why don't I ask the king after I go back and ask him to send the most famous navigators and naval generals in the country to help the Song Dynasty train the navy?"
Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, moved, and said happily: "It is the best way to do this."
He made a promise to Manasi Ghana, "If our Song Dynasty navy can form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, I will send troops to help your country."
Manasi Garner saluted again, "So, thank you, His Majesty the Emperor."
The civil officials and military generals around Zhao Dongting also smiled.
There is indeed a lack of generals familiar with naval warfare in the Song Dynasty. If the Boni Kingdom is willing to send sailors and generals to teach, it will naturally be a good thing.
Deep in the Bonini, he is undoubtedly quite proficient in naval battles.
Go to the palace gate.
Hundreds of people stood.
These hundreds of people are representatives from all walks of life, including the masters of the twenty-four sects of Wuding who were personally enthroned by Zhao Dongting, and the Zijing Villa added.
The owner of the manor Qi Wulie is also among them.
When Zhao Dongting arrived, everyone saluted.
Here, the Zhenwu realm masters of the Wuding Sect are not below ten.
Besides the many true martial arts masters in Wuding Hall, they can be said to be masters.
After Zhao Dongting asked everyone to waving their gifts, he waved his hand to take everyone to the top of the city.
On the street in front of the palace were energetic soldiers of the Lin'an Prefecture garrison.
They put the front street completely martial law.
The spacious front street is empty.
Only behind the soldiers, the people were bustling with people.
The grand scene of the vast streets appeared in Lin'an Prefecture.
Countless people gathered outside this front street, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was crowded with people.
"Long live the emperor!"
Zhao Dongting's figure had just appeared on the top of the city, and there were mountains beneath the city. The shouts almost resounded throughout the Lin'an Mansion.
Hundreds of pawns stood under the golden tent, and tears filled their eyes at this moment.
I think even when the Song Dynasty was at its peak, such a grand occasion had never happened before.
Zhao Dongting waved to the people below, and after a while, he took the ministers and masters to sit down.
The walls of the imperial city were filled with people.
Although there are many people, they are not messy.
After Zhao Dongting and others sat down, Zhao Dongting just pressed his hands and became quiet around him.
"Well!"
The military aircraft wearing a red cloak ordered Wen Tianxiang to gallop from north to south from the end of the street in front, and then suddenly stopped in front of the palace gate.
He raised his head, looked at Zhao Dongting who was sitting directly above the gate, and shouted: "Report to the emperor! The army is ready, please review it!"
Chapter completed!
