Chapter 544: The Power of the Great Ming
When the time for the military parade came, Zhu Di changed into a military uniform, a golden armor and yellow robe, and rode a yellow horse, like a majestic little golden man.
The Ming Dynasty is from the south to the north, and the south belongs to the fire, so the Ming Dynasty advocates red, from the red robe of the civil and military officials, to the mandarin duck jacket of ordinary soldiers, all of which are red.
For soldiers, wearing red is actually beneficial, with the heavy use of firearms, the battlefield is usually filled with gunsmoke, so wearing a striking red can better identify comrades, so as not to lose command.
It is useful in wartime, and wearing a red robe in peacetime is more majestic. From a distance, the soldiers of the three armies were red, like a sea of flames.
Thousands of troops, up and down, only Zhu Di's golden armor and yellow robe perfectly set off the majesty of imperial power.
Liu Chun also had many clans and civil and military families, and was ordered to observe the ceremony at the Chengtian Gate. Next to Liu Chun, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui were all there, and the little Zhu Zhanji actually came.
It's just that this little thing has too short legs, and he's small, so he's in a hurry and can't see anything.
Liu Chun looked funny, reached out and hugged him, and then suddenly put the little thing on Zhu Gaoxu's neck.
"Carry your nephew, be careful with me!"
Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes angrily, he didn't want to bully people like this.
Whose son is in charge, even if he wants to give it, he will give it to a big ball of meat, what is it for me? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu threw this little rabbit cub from the city?
Zhu Gaoxu was unhappy, but the master said that he really didn't dare to do anything, so he could only stretch out his hands and firmly press the little guy on his neck.
Zhu Zhanji, who has a high-end car, has an unobstructed line of sight, and the little guy is stunned.
It's so imposing!
I saw the emperor's grandfather riding a high-headed horse, surrounded by a group of brocade guards, everywhere he went, the soldiers knelt down together, and the mountain shouted long live!
The little guy only felt that the blood was boiling, and he couldn't help but stretch out his little hand and shout.
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to say anything, what he hated most these years was this kind of bear child who didn't understand hair. The big meat ball hates it, and his son hates it too, and if he doesn't take care of his son well, it's even more annoying.
Poor Zhu Gaoxu can only complain, today's scene is too big.
First of all, the clan vassal kings led by Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, all arrived, followed by the generals and nobles led by Lan Yu. It is especially worth mentioning that even Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song Guogong, who has always been sick, dragged his sick body to come, as the only two remaining princes of the Hongwu Dynasty, the arrival of Lan Yu and Feng Sheng is of great significance.
These two people have a lot to do with Liu Chun, they are also big roots in the army, like Lan Yong, Ping'an, these people used to be their subordinates, and Xiping Marquis Muchun is also the son-in-law of the Feng family, these few together are enough to compete with the heroes of Jingnan.
In other words, nominally, upstarts such as Zhang Yu and Qiu Fu are indescribably expensive, but in fact there is a group of people who can replace them at any time.
After the clan and the nobles, there are ministers in the DPRK and the central government, and the six ministries and nine secretaries, all of whom are high and powerful.
In addition to them, there are representatives of the vassal states.
Like Goryeo, Annam, Ryukyu, Wako, etc., there are also a lot of them, and they are also standing on the Chengtian Gate, looking at the magnificent and majestic military might, the faces of these people are very ugly, in fear, with jealousy, jealousy, but also envy...... All in all, they are tangled and contradictory to the extreme.
A few years ago, the longevity celebration frightened many people. Later, I heard that Daming was in civil strife, and my uncle and nephew fought. This is a good thing, they think that Daming will definitely decline, maybe they will become easy to bully, they can take the opportunity to fight the autumn wind and get some benefits.
But looking at the current posture, not only has the Ming Dynasty not become weaker, on the contrary, the prestige is better than before, who can tell us, what is going on?
If you want to say that these vassals are nervous, then there is a group of people who are shocked and worried. They are the messengers of Haret!
It is said that many people are unfamiliar with the country of Haret, and there is another name, which is the Timurid Empire.
It was a formidable empire born on the fragments of the Mongol Empire.
Genghis Khan and his descendants spent decades building an empire that was unprecedentedly vast. It's just that this empire was short-lived, and it split into several pieces.
In the East, the Great Yuan Dynasty was overthrown by Zhu Yuanzhang. And in the Western Regions, there is also a very strong Mongol power. Timur declared himself a descendant of Genghis Khan and wanted to reunite the Mongol Empire.
He fought in the north and south, and had a huge land and a strong army.
Soon, he pointed the finger at the Ming Dynasty, and in the past ten years, Timur has continuously sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty in the name of Tonggong, to understand the situation, and prepare to wait for an opportunity to attack.
The outbreak of the Battle of Jingyan before made the envoys of the Harlie Kingdom in the Ming Dynasty very excited, thinking that the opportunity had come.
It's just that they didn't expect that it took less than three years for the war to subside, and there was no time to deploy troops...... And what makes them even worse is that the Ming Dynasty, who has experienced the war, seems to be even stronger.
A strong king, replacing the cowardly son of heaven.
His Majesty the Emperor is in the prime of life, like the rising sun, in comparison, how can Timur, who has already senile, be compared with Zhu Di?
Just when these Harlie envoys were secretly amazed, Zhu Di had already re-ascended the Chengtian Gate.
The parade has officially begun!
The first to rush was the cavalry, each of whom had a banner, and underneath the banner were young soldiers in bright armor and red robes.
They were the vanguard of the entire military parade, like a whirlwind, passing over the Chengtian Gate.
These horsemen looked at the Son of Heaven on the city gate, and shouted together as they passed.
"Long live my emperor!"
At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Zhu Di's face.
The knights passed, followed by a phalanx of infantry.
And the arrangement of these infantry guidelines is very interesting, the first to come is a group of gray-haired veterans, some of whom have hunched over, but their arms are still strong, and their steps are still strong!
"My Ming Taizu raised a three-foot sword, swept away the reverse Yuan, and restored China, relying on such a group of loyal and brave people, who fought in the south and the north, captured the capital, and defeated the Northern Yuan in a row. It is these veterans that have today's Daming! ”
"Yongle Son of Heaven, rejuvenate the army, restore the law of Taizu, merit in the world, all veterans, pay tribute to the Son of Heaven!"
"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! ”
Zhu Di was emotionally charged at the moment, and he also waved his arms.
"I am grateful for the merits of the veterans, and the court will not forget you!"
At this moment, many old soldiers secretly wept.
When the old pawn walked over, the next phalanx was a little younger, but it also looked like it was in its thirties.
"I am a strong soldier of the Ming Dynasty, go straight to the fishing sea, destroy the Northern Yuan, welcome back the jade seal, and cleanse the shame of a hundred years...... This soldier is the warrior who braved the wind and snow, marched thousands of miles in the desert, and captured the Northern Yuan Emperor! Some of them suffered from frostbite, toes, fingers, ears, noses...... All have varying degrees of damage. They serve the country without regrets, they are the backbone of the Ming Dynasty! ”
When the men passed, there was a group of eighty people, but they were a little strange, because most of them were holding wooden signs with their names written in black letters.
"Rebel against the party and usurp power, the Ming Dynasty is in danger like a tired egg, eighty soldiers, follow His Majesty, raise the banner of rebellion and righteousness, Fengtian Jingjing, in the past three years, born and died, fierce battles. Eighty soldiers, as for thirty-two people, you are the brothers and sisters of the Son of Heaven and the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty! ”
Zhu Di couldn't help but lean over and wave to these living people, greeting those who had died.
More than half of the original brothers have died.
I can stand here and review the three armies, all because they paid for it with their lives.
Zhu Di is a very emotional person, and his nose is sour. It's all to blame on the damn Liu Chun, on the big day, why do you have to arrange such a scene?
Didn't you make me cry?
In the eyes of everyone, these soldiers also walked over.
Then came the main event, showing off the classes one by one, pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, musketeers, archers, ...... Every team is neatly aligned, like a sea of mountains, rushing to the face.
The faces of the envoys of the vassal kingdom all changed suddenly, and they were panicked.
Not to mention other people, just the power shown by the military parade is not something they can contend with, is this the essence of the kingdom?
The gang was so frightened that their hands and feet were cold, and their foreheads were sweating. But Harlie's envoy can still be stabilized, we are also a big country, no worse than the Ming Dynasty!
But at this moment, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves on the ground, but instead of cavalry, artillery appeared!
First, a tiger squat cannon that can be dragged by a horse, then the cannon is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more pack horses, and the last cannon that appears actually requires sixteen pack horses to drag, the black barrel, with a strong murderous aura, and a high-spirited cannon mouth, like a giant beast of the wilderness, roared.
At this time, the official of the Ministry of War just explained: "I attach great importance to technology, and weapons are changing with each passing day, and their power is unmatched. These new artillery, with the roar of the Ming Dynasty, are enough to blast all the enemies who covet the Ming to pieces! Daming will win! ”
"Da Ming will win!"
"Da Ming will win!"
"Da Ming will win!"
……
Everyone couldn't help but roar angrily, including Zhu Zhanji on Zhu Gaoxu's neck, who also hurriedly shouted. The sound was overwhelming, and the momentum soared into the sky.
At this moment, an even more jaw-dropping scene appeared, from all directions, many behemoths suddenly rose, round spheres, flying into the sky.
When these spheres reach a certain height, long slogans are thrown from above, and for a time, the slogan of victory of the Ming Dynasty blooms everywhere in the sky.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Di finally nodded with satisfaction, and he waved his hand at the sky, "Daming will win!" Daming will win! ”
Those Harry's envoys, their faces have turned the color of pig liver, it's not that they haven't seen cannons, but in comparison, Daming's artillery is far superior to Harry, especially the hot air balloons in the sky, what are these monsters for? Where did the Ming Dynasty get so many strange things?
