Chapter 838: Autumn Soldiers on the Battlefield (Part 1)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Wu Tianshuang is cold and cold, and the golden drums are loud and loud.

Ten thousand soldiers under the tent followed the orders, and the generals in the army were proud of their dignity.

In mid-September of the third year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty, various armies participating in the military parade gathered in the capital city, the Beijing army, the border army, the southern army, and more than 200,000 troops, filling the Fengtai camp. The barracks were also full of military tents, with large and small camps connected from beginning to end, extending to the foot of the capital city. The people in the capital have not seen such a big scene for many years, and have been as excited as the New Year these few days.

But in the countless military camps, there was a tense atmosphere. All the governors and generals lived in the camp. While staring at their subordinates, they adjusted their flags, washed their horses, oiled their armor, and polished their weapons. While urging them to hurry up and train for the last time, and they must not lose their chains on the day of the parade. In addition to the strict requirements, the governors became particularly easy to speak. The subordinates wanted to add any equipment to their subordinates, and they only approved their opinions and tried their best to improve their food for the soldiers, hoping that they would have a full look of spirit and show them to the emperor.

The people were waiting for the rest of their lives, but the officers and soldiers felt that time was fast, and in a blink of an eye it was September 21, the day of the military parade!

Early in the morning, the people in the capital, whether they were rich families who responded to the front and back, or ordinary citizens who helped the elderly and young, dressed up, brought dry food, wine and friends to Zhangyi Street and walked out of Guang'an. There are so many people today. Just now, the city was opened, and the streets of Zhangyi were crowded with people. Who wouldn't want to see the glory of the army? Who wouldn't want to see what the emperor looked like? The people under the imperial city always felt strange and alienated to the father and son emperor from Chu. First, Jiajing and Longqing belonged to the otaku, and they did not leave the palace all year round, and naturally lacked their presence in the hearts of the people. Second, it was the unique sense of superiority of the people in the capital. In the words of an old man walking the bird, he said: "What's wrong with the emperor? He didn't live in Beijing for three generations, he was also from other places."

However, no matter how mixed feelings are in my heart, it will not affect the people's enthusiasm for watching the fun. They only have one purpose of leaving so early, and they must occupy a favorable viewing position on the gentle slope east of the university ground.

Before the hour of Mao, the slope that could accommodate tens of thousands of people was already densely packed with people, making it impossible for those who later to spread along the hillside to both sides of the schoolyard... Fortunately, the Ministry of War had expected that it had drawn up a special viewing area, so the people did not fence the schoolyard and did not send a military parade.

At the right time, three earth-shaking cannons sounded in Fengtai Camp. The crowd suddenly became quiet. Teams of soldiers in Beijing, holding spears in high spirits, walked out of the camp neatly, and set up defense lines on the outside of the university ground. Every twenty feet away, there was a Cai Building, on both sides of the Cai Building, three steps and five steps. The officers standing down the Cai Building were wearing mighty armor, pressing the hilt of the sword, standing still. The soldiers were all wearing new cloaks, which looked even more majestic and strict.

At this time, three cannons also sounded from Gongchentai in the city. The new imperial guards and soldiers also walked out of the military camp in the city and put all the official roads from the Forbidden City to the large campus, waiting for the emperor's imperial guards.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Emperor Zhengde, the Ming Dynasty rarely had such exciting scenes. However, the Zhengde Emperor who liked military parades, many of his actions were taken under the opposition of his ministers, so they were regarded as nonsense by those civil officials who had mastered public opinion and pens, and were severely denounced in historical books.

But today's Emperor Longqing is different. He came to carry out this military parade with the support of his ministers, and everyone hopes for it. Even Emperor Longqing, who has always been mediocre and slack, could not help but have a little more confident and majesty!

That morning, Longqing got up very early. After a simple breakfast, he put on his sacrificial robes and went to Taimiao to worship his ancestors. Then, under the service of the palace servants, he took off his sacrificial robes and changed into a golden dragon-patterned armor!

Facing the floor-standing dressing mirror, Longqing saw the eunuchs first putting colorful cloud patterns on themselves, with golden armor on their sleeves and shoulders, and scattering them with red silk. Then he put platinum fish scale armor on his face, and the golden armor for the dragon playing with pearls on his waist. Then he hung the ancestral seven-star sword from the royal family, and finally put on a platinum helmet decorated with swan feathers and chā small flags. Longqing's first reaction was to be dazed. Is this really himself? Why is he so heroic?

After holding the airs for a while, he felt that the helmet on his head was too heavy, so he reached out to take it off and handed it to the eunuch. But then he thought that there were only a few opportunities to wear military uniforms in this life, so he would just put it in his arms.

When I came outside, I saw that a group of civil and military officials outside had been waiting there for a long time. Maybe it hadn't been such a big scene for too long. Everyone's expression was very excited. Long Qing looked at everyone, his throat trembled, and he waved his hand hard and said, "Get off!"

With his voice, the bell and drums were the first to ring on the bell and drum tower, and the words of the temples responded together, singing together from afar. Emperor Longqing boarded the magnificent huge chariot. The officials, officials, regardless of civil and military affairs, all boarded the horses and followed the emperor to the outside of the city.

When the people outside the city knew that the emperor was about to arrive, they stared at the distant direction of the city. Not long after, the army of ceremonial guards came out. In the front were five hundred dragon flags, led by five hundred imperial guards, followed by fifty-four nine-dragon curved covers. Behind the canopy was still a flag, and then two hundred great Han generals in golden armor held golden locks, lying melons, standing melons, locking axes, big swords, red stirrups, and yellow stirrups. Finally, two hundred eunuchs in python clothes held canopy, holding fans, banners, banners, and flags. After the ceremonial guards of more than a thousand people, Longqing's huge golden sè car slowly appeared in front of everyone under the strict protection of the Jinyiwei.

Longqing was dressed in military uniform, holding a sword in his right hand, and holding a left hand on the railing of the carriage. Thousands of riders were riding in front of him and surrounded him and guarding him; the people were looking up at him in a crowd of people, fragrant flowers, wine, and dancing in the dust. No matter where the carriage went, people were all like lodging wheat fields, and they were not afraid to look up. This scenery, this pomp, this extraordinary glory was his peak experience in this life... At the throne ceremony that year, because in the background of the new demise of the late emperor, everything was simple and mourning was the main focus. Longqing certainly had never enjoyed the treatment he had today. He looked around and saw the dragon flag covering the sun; looking around, his eyes were full of golden swords. He had a tight face, tried his best to suppress his excitement, staring at the front with his head raised and his chest, and he saw the large campus with a solid loess on the ground was already in front of him.

At the entrance of the school grounds, on the right side of the official road, several ministers of the Ministry of War, three governors from the nine sides, led the civil servants who were being watched, as well as military officers and above the generals, who had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing the chariot approaching from afar, they all turned over and knelt down, kneeling in black crows, and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor..."

Long Qing looked at the intoxicating scene motionlessly, and after a long time he spoke, "Let's flat..."

So the corners of the school ground were roaring, and as the military music sounded, Emperor Longqing came to the high platform north of the school ground.

All the officials followed and guided to the viewing platform on both sides of the high platform. The officers who came to greeted each other drove back to the camp to prepare for the big review to begin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After waiting for a while, until Longqing's pocket watch showed that Chen Shi had arrived. Two great generals each walked to the platform with a whip that was more than ten feet long. With his hands trembling, the two long whips lay straight on the yellow ground.

With the order of the officials of the Honglu Temple, two Han generals suddenly swung the whip, and the two long whips swung into two circles in the air, followed by a crisp sound. It immediately suppressed the noise completely, and the quiet on and off the field was restored to silence.

The long whip swung two circles again, with a crisp sound; and finally the two circles finally swung two circles again, with a crisp sound.

After three whips, Gao Gong, the chief minister of the cabinet, announced the beginning of the military parade with his thick voice!

Therefore, military masterpieces, including not only traditional drums and horns, but also imported Western horns, flutes, etc., played the passionate "Step on the Battlefield" under the command of the chief court musician Xavier.

The neat steps and clanging rhythms, the first troops to be paraded appeared on the east side of the schoolyard.

This is a square formation composed of five hundred armored cavalry. A tall horse with a saddle and bridle reins are decorated with colorful satin. The soldiers wore bright silver armor and bright painted halberds. They followed an officer holding the "Dragon Horse" banner and walked into the schoolyard neatly.

When passing the reviewing stand, the soldiers in the entire square raised the painting halberd high and shouted "Long Live" in the direction of the emperor! Then they raised the painting halberd high and shouted "Long Live" together. After three times, the atmosphere on the field was completely mobilized. The officials, civil and military officials who were originally sitting stood up and Emperor Longqing on the platform actually produced waves of continuous pleasure similar to Gaocháo... The grand and majestic scene in front of him made him live in the deep palace and live in warmth every day.

The emperor in the soft town was filled with blood. He finally understood why his uncle was obsessed with such a scene. He liked to leave those long-lasting civil servants and take tens of thousands of troops to fight the Mongolian army in person. This was a feeling that an emperor living in the deep palace would never experience. However, no matter how understanding it is, Longqing did not have the rebelliousness and bloodiness of Zhengde, but this did not prevent him from experiencing the pleasure of a handful of troops at this time and here.

It was still at the reminder of Tan Lun behind him that Long Qing remembered that he used a sword to send out his sword and gave him a slanted finger at the square formation, so he received a more enthusiastic long live shout.

The first square formation was followed by a team of 500 black armored cavalry, whose vanguard flag was embroidered with the word "Selected Front Armor" Although the equipment of this cavalry was not as eye-catching as the emperor's imperial guards in front, the 500 cavalry was like a cavalry and the full and high spirit of the jingling spirit was still eye-catching... This is the report on the results of Qi Jiguang's two years of training!

After selecting the marshals, there were five hundred light armored cavalry under the banner of the "Datong Town Model Battalion". Although this team has worked hard to show its neat military appearance, it is still pale in comparison with the two teams in front. However, their appearance attracted the warmest response in the audience. The reserved ministers and celebrities in the court and the court and the people all applauded and cheered desperately, as if not, and it was not enough to express their appreciation for this team.

Even the military music changed, playing the heroic song! The flowers of Fengtai specialty were shèed out with bamboo cannons, like the sky scattered flowers, and the fallen flowers were colorful, covering the team with petals. Those onlookers who didn't know the truth couldn't help but inquire about where the troops came from and how could they receive such preferential treatment?

"I don't know this." The person next to him would first glance at him with contempt, and then introduce him to Yourong Yan: "This is the Ma family army!"

"So that's it..." The masses suddenly realized that this was a heroic army that killed Altan so hard that it was really affordable! So in the eyes of everyone, it became a little casual, and it became a tough and unruly, a little restrained, and a master low-key...

After the Ma family army passed, it was Qi Jiguang's personal army of the 'Ji Town Model Battalion'; Tang Kekuan's personal army of the 'Zhenbao Town Model Battalion'" Yang Siwei's personal army; then it was Zhao Ke's personal army of the 'Xuanfu Town Model Battalion'" Zhao Ke's personal army of the 'Taiyuan Town Model Battalion'" Yin Feng's personal army; Lu Tong's personal army of the 'Liu Xian's personal army of the 'Yulin Town Model Battalion'" Liu Xian's personal army; Li Xi's personal army of the 'Ningxia Town Model Battalion'; Jiang Yingxiong's model Battalion'; Guo Hu's model Battalion'... All the troops of eleven generals on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty were present!

The last ones to be in charge were the two cavalry units that also came from the Imperial Army, "Selected Front and Xin Fang" and the "Selected Front and Xin Fang"...

A total of 8,000 cavalrymen drove past the audience, with a magnificent momentum, crushing all the disconfidence that plagued the Chinese people. Everyone was thriving and shouting loudly: "Expel the Tartars, I will finish my golden cup!"

Before people could calm down, the neat sound of war drums rang around the school grounds, and the thick and low sounds of drums continued to gather and spread among the crowd. The drum beats went from ease to dense, always following the pulse of the people watching the ceremony, shaking everyone's heartstrings, making people unable to help but feel excited, and they wished they could melt into one with the sound of war drums...

The last paragraph pays tribute to Cohen Keda. Because for some reason, when I think of the military parade, what I see in my mind is not the National Day in 2009, but the great Cohen Keda, long live Sbiya!
