Chapter 308: Military Parade (Part I)
Seeing Zhu Youxiao's curious appearance, Yang Feng smiled slightly, stepped forward in front of the square table-sized thing, picked up the black plug and plugged it into the socket of a big box next to it, and then pressed a button, and then there was a scream in the hall, and Feng Guiren, the youngest of the concubines, pointed to the figure that suddenly appeared in the picture and the voice that made him, and he was speechless and immediately fainted, and for a while, there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the entire hall......
An hour later, Yang Feng finally got rid of Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Yan and a group of concubines, and fled back to the courtyard he had temporarily bought in the capital with several of his daughters-in-law.
After returning to the courtyard, Yang Feng was immediately surrounded by Hai Lanzhu, Zheng Tuoniang and other four women and three daughters, Zheng Tuoniang is better, after all, she also touched the monitor when she controlled the drone a few days ago, but the three daughters of Hai Lanzhu are completely different, the first time they saw the LCD TV, they almost fainted like that Feng Guiren, the shock brought to them by the LCD TV that appeared more than 300 years in advance is unprecedented, and those who can stay calm and not faint are already called strong psychological quality.
What is the best thing that future generations of fathers, daughters and otaku girls used to pass the time? Television and soap operas, of course.
Feeling the boredom and dullness of harem life, Yang Feng sent them a 100-inch large-screen LCD TV, and by the way, he also gave several long-form large-scale costume TV series on USB flash drives, such as the Legend of the New White Lady, Journey to the West, Dream of Red Mansions, Drunken Golden Branches, etc., which are dozens of episodes of hundreds of large-scale costume myths and ghosts and soap operas, which are used to pass the time of the concubines who are bored and depressed in their daily lives.
Of course, because electricity is a big problem in this era. Therefore, Yang Feng also explained to them in advance that the time to watch TV every day can only be two hours, and every month the palace will send the battery that has run out of power to the Daming Royal Commercial House in the capital to replace the battery, Yang Feng believes that with these soap operas to pass the time, Zhu Youxiao's harem will definitely live a lot of peace, and also avoid a lot of trouble.
It's just that Yang Feng didn't expect that Zhu Youxiao's harem was peaceful or not, but the grape trellis in his yard was a little unstable, and as soon as he returned to the yard, he was surrounded by his own four women.
Hai Lanzhu took the lead in attacking: "Xianggong, you tell us, why do you never show us our sisters such good things?" ”
"Right...... Our sisters followed you all the way to the Central Plains, and you even hid such good things, are you worthy of our sisters? Don't forget that your aunt is still pregnant, and she will be in a much better mood to pass the time with this thing! This sentence was said by Da Yu'er.
Zhezhe and Zheng Toniang didn't speak, but the resentful eyes they looked at Yang Feng could make Yang Feng head two.
Zheng Toniang is better, after all, she has often been in contact with drones during this time, and she is used to seeing the display, and now the LCD angel with a large screen at first glance does not seem so abrupt, and Zhezhe's temper has changed a little since he became pregnant, and he likes to stick to Yang Feng more and more recently, and today is the same, the resentful little eyes made Yang Feng cry out and couldn't stand it.
In desperation, Yang Feng could only raise his hand and surrender in the end: "Okay, okay, I know what you want, I'll let someone send you one later, but you have to remember that you must not look at this thing for more than two hours every day, especially Zhezhe, seeing too much is not good for the child in your belly, do you understand?" ”
As soon as Yang Feng's words fell, what he received was a cheer and a fragrant kiss......
In Yang Feng's opinion, this incident was just a small episode, after doing this, he ordered the family members who were guarding here to protect several ladies and soon rushed to the school field of Xuanwumen to train the troops, but what he didn't understand was that the time was not yet evening, and the news that Yang Feng was given a banquet by Zhu Youxiao soon spread to the ears of many well-intentioned people.
Some people gritted their teeth about this matter, and some people watched coldly, but more people were shocked, if anyone still didn't know Zhu You's importance and favor to Yang Feng, it would be an idiot.
And Gao Panlong and others impeached Yang Feng did not decrease because of Zhu Youxiao's banquet to Yang Feng, on the contrary, the impeachment of Yang Feng was more, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Six Sections, and the Inspectorate Department united hundreds of officials such as the Imperial History and the Speech Officials to hand over the impeachment of Yang Feng almost at a swarming speed, and for all this, as the number one person in the eunuch party, Wei Zhongxian just looked at it coldly, and what he did every day as the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi was just to send baskets of impeachment of Yang Feng to Zhu Youxiao's desk.
For these impeachments, Zhu Youxiao has only one countermeasure, that is, to stay in the middle and not to issue them. He didn't even look at these twists and turns, so he directly asked the eunuch to carry them to the treasury and place them, during which he just sent his henchman eunuch to say a word to Yang Feng, "Train with peace of mind, everything is fine!" ”
The first day of the fourth month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse was sunny
The cold wind that had raged for a winter suddenly stopped today, and the snow on the streets had melted in the past few days, and the originally dirty streets had been temporarily cleaned by the government for two days, and they looked much cleaner.
Zhengyang Gate, commonly known as the front door, the front door building, or the big front door. It was built in 1419 in the seventeenth year of Yongle of Chengzu in the Ming Dynasty and is one of the "Nine Gates of Beijing" in Beijing. It integrates the Zhengyangmen Tower, the Arrow Tower and the Urn City, and is a complete ancient defensive building system.
During the Ming Dynasty, the street of Zhengyangmen was also one of the largest streets in Beijing, and the place of more than 30 meters and more than 2 miles long made it the best place for military parades.
Today, before dawn, both sides of the street in front of Zhengyang Gate are crowded with people who came to see the excitement overnight, for the people of this year, the emperor reviewed the army that is a very new thing, not to mention that the review is still the Jiangning army that has just returned from the victory in Liaodong, you must know that the name of the Jiangning army has already spread all over the north and south of the river these days, not to mention the people in the capital.
According to the statistics of some good deeds, there are no less than 200,000 people who come to Zhengyang Gate to watch the excitement today. Of course, these numbers do not seem to be too much compared to the city of Beijing in later generations, but considering that this is the Ming Dynasty, it is different, you must know that the population of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty today is only more than one million, and just near this street there is a fifth of the population of the entire Beijing city, which is scary enough to think about.
At midnight, Zhu Youxiao, who was wearing a bright yellow crown dress, and Zhang Yan, the queen who was wearing a phoenix crown, climbed the city gate tower in full costume, Wei Zhongxian and several eunuchs were standing not far away, followed by Gu Bingqian, Huang immediately and several other cabinet elders, and then followed by six Shangshu and a number of nobles and hundreds of civil and military officials in Beijing. It can be said that if someone kills the people in the city gate tower today, it is estimated that the entire Ming Dynasty will be paralyzed.
When Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan appeared, hundreds of thousands of people outside the city gate were all boiling, for them to be able to see the emperor and the queen's face that can be boasted of for a lifetime, no one takes the lead, more than 200,000 people all knelt down and bowed down, and praised in their mouths: "The grass people and others meet my emperor, may my emperor live long live long live, long live my mother, long live thousands of years old!" ”
Seeing such a huge scene, Zhu Youxiao's heart was surging, and he raised his hand and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, my fathers and fellow villagers...... Flat! ”
Zhu Youxiao's voice was transmitted by the four loud eunuchs standing around at the same time, and after a long while, the people on the entire Zhengyangmen Street stood up again, and the soldiers in charge of maintaining it took a lot of effort to maintain order again.
The civil and military officials who followed Zhu Youxiao saw that after this scene, many of them looked a little strange, and many of them looked at an area not far from Zhu Youxiao for the families of the nobles and ministers.
There stood four women with luxurious clothes and unusual appearances, especially one of the women in a white long skirt was a beautiful and indescribable temperament, which was unforgettable at first sight, and some people who were interested inquired only to understand that these four women were actually Yang Feng's family members, and the woman standing in front was the daughter of the leader of the Horqin tribe, that is, the "culprit" who caused Yang Feng to be impeached.
In fact, the beauty of Hai Lanzhu and her party not only attracted the attention of men, but even many women in those family areas were secretly looking at them. Needless to say, Hai Lanzhu's fairy who seems to have come out of a painting, Da Yu'er's elf eccentricity and pride, Zhezhe's gentleness and calmness, and Zheng Tuoniang's unconcealable bookish atmosphere are also unforgettable.
Hai Lanzhu and the others naturally felt the gaze of the people around them either secretly looking at each other, and the ordinary ladies or ladies who were all beautiful had already lowered their heads in shame or hid behind the crowd. But Hai Lanzhu and the girls still looked ahead as if no one was around.
Among them, Hai Lanzhu is by nature, and it is only the air for the eyes of others, Zhezhe and Da Yu'er have also been Fujin before Yang Feng, and the children of the grassland are naturally more cheerful, so they are naturally not afraid of the eyes. Not to mention Zheng Tuoniang, before marrying Yang Feng, she was begging for a living on the Qinhuai River, and today's sneaky gaze can only be regarded as a pediatric at best.
Just when everyone was secretly looking at the four women and even someone was whispering, a crisp and rapid sound of horses' hooves came, and soon a Yang Feng on a war horse appeared in front of everyone, today's Yang Feng was not wearing iron armor as usual. He wore only a crisp green military uniform, a pair of shiny riding boots on his feet, a large-brimmed hat on his head that no one had ever seen, and a saber hanging from his waist.
It stands to reason that such a costume will make those who are used to seeing people wearing iron armor feel indecent, but wearing such a costume on Yang Feng is a surprise that many people feel unusually heroic, and many women in the family area have turned crimson after seeing Yang Feng's appearance, and some bold women are talking about something in a low voice, covering their mouths from time to time and laughing.
Yang Feng rode his horse to the Zhengyang Gate and stopped, he jumped off the horse and loudly saluted Zhu Youxiao, who was wearing a dragon robe on the city wall, and saluted a military salute that most people had never seen before, and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the troops under review are ready, please review." The commander-in-chief of the parade, the commander of the Nanjing army Jiang Ningwei, made Yang Feng! ”
Zhu Youxiao, who had been reminded, nodded solemnly in the city gate tower, and just said succinctly: "Start!" ”
"Yes!"
Yang Feng got back on his horse and shouted loudly facing the north: "Your Majesty has an order, the parade begins, and the pacesetters are in place!" ”
With Yang Feng's voice, sixty pacesetters began to appear in front of everyone. These carefully selected sergeants, all of whom were of almost the same height and holding their guns in the same posture, appeared first with "brown bass" flintlock pistols with bayonets in their hands.
In particular, these pacesetters did not wear armor, but wore 97-style dresses that Yang Feng got from modern times, wearing oily riding boots on their feet, armed belts around their waists, and large-brimmed hats on their heads, which attracted countless eyes as soon as they appeared.
Compared with the modern submachine guns of later generations, these modern flintlock pistols are longer in both the body and the bayonet, and the position of the bayonet has reached the human chin after the bayonet is mounted, which makes people feel that these pacesetters are more powerful, more slender and upright.
The pacesetters approached from a distance with their muskets in hand, their steps a little slow, but their steps unusually firm. Every one of their movements looks extraordinarily new.
The pacesetters entered the training ground in a straight stride. Zhengbu, almost all the spectators present, did not see it. These standard movements, which came from more than 300 years later, aroused great interest among the people. After a long while, the first sergeant came to the place where there was a white spot, stopped, stood upright, turned around, and raised his gun. Although it is a very simple action, it can be done by any normal person. However, their movements are full of masculinity, toughness,
Looking at the movements of the pacesetters, not only the people on both sides of the street looked extremely surprised, but even the civil and military officials standing on the tower of the city gate also grew their mouths in surprise, Zhu Youxiao's breathing became a little short, he held Zhang Yan's hand tightly, and felt that his heartbeat was a little faster.
In fact, many people can't understand why these pacesetters are doing every move very slowly. In particular, the act of walking looks very special.
It's just that they don't understand it, but now the hundreds of thousands of people present and the people on the tower of the city gate all feel an indescribable serious atmosphere coming to them.
Soon after, all sixty pacesetters were in place, forming a straight line with each other.
The pacesetters stood still, and stood there motionless as if they were sculptures. It feels like a tall green pine, like an indestructible rock. The bayonet in his hand that emitted a cold light reflected the morning sun, which was so intimidating.
At this time, no one dared to speak loudly at the scene, and the sixty pacesetters just stood there, and a wordless coercion shrouded everyone's heads.
