Soon, heavy cavalry, hussars, and lancers also passed through the field in turn.

They were the least changed class in recent times, except for the fact that the lancers were issued cuirass and a reed wheel for self-defense, and because of the large number of captured horses, their mounts were a little more robust than before.

After the cavalry, two more infantry "phalanxes" followed. As soon as these people appeared in the field of vision, Li Dingguo frowned.

I saw that although the two teams were wearing standard dark green dragon guard uniforms, the weapons they were holding were in a mess, including firearms, bows, and crossbows. What's even worse is that in addition to the leading officers who are full of spirit, the non-commissioned officers are all crooked and vain, the front team can barely gather together, and the back team is crooked, like a group of ants that have been flooded, and even a few times because of each other's feet, the team almost collapsed.

Li Dingguo couldn't help but whisper to Deng Shan again, "My lord, is this ...... It's a recruit, right? ”

Deng Shan glanced at him, "If the recruits of the Broken Battalion dare to be this virtue, they have already been driven home a hundred and ten times, not to mention the Dragon Guard." He lowered his voice and shook his head, "These are North Korean soldiers." Your Majesty didn't know why he had to take them with him...... Although the Ming officer was changed to command, it was still muddy and could not support the wall. ”

After all the paradeers had passed in front of the viewing platform, they came to the west side of the camp to line up.

Yu Xin ran a few steps and saluted in front of Zhu Linmiao: "Your Majesty, the whole battalion has been completed." ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded and got off the viewing platform, mounted his horse, and headed west surrounded by the main generals of the field army. After taking a few steps, he turned his head and instructed Zhang Jiayu: "When the parade is over, all the generals of the General Staff Department will be summoned to discuss the matter in the Shuai camp." ”

"Yes!"

When Zhu Linmiao came to the west of the barracks, he restrained his horse and began to solemnly walk slowly in front of the phalanx composed of Ming army soldiers and soldiers.

Every time he came to a phalanx, he would smile sideways, wave his hand, and say, "Hello soldiers!" ”

The officers and soldiers in front of him immediately responded in unison, "Long live my emperor!" ”

"The soldiers have worked hard!"

"Be loyal to the Ming Dynasty!"

This set of greeting ceremonies commonly used in military parades seemed nothing new to later generations, but it was the first time for the soldiers of the Ming army. The Son of Heaven walked in front of him, and greeted him so closely, this is simply an honor that can be blown for a lifetime! All the soldiers immediately paid full attention, were excited, and their morale soared into the sky.

After the review was completed, Zhu Linmiao circled his horse and returned to the front of the queue, solemnly glanced at all the soldiers present, raised his breath vigorously, and said loudly: "Soldiers, we are about to usher in the most important moment for Daming!" ”

The entire camp was silent, and his aftermath echoed in the air, drifting into the distance.

He turned around and looked north, and continued: "Duoduo's army is in Yangzhou, and then to the north, it is Beijing!" In the past two years, we have never been closer to recovering the entire Ming Dynasty than we are today!

"We will wave our army to the north, recapture Yangzhou, Shandong, and Beijing, until we kill Liaodong, and let these thieves who trample on my Ming land, kill my Chinese people, and rob my people of money and food, and pay the price of blood for their crimes!

"In this Northern Expedition, I will drive the expedition in person, and together with all the soldiers, I will leave the fear and trembling to the Tartars with the swords and guns in my hands, so that they will remember from generation to generation, and those who offend my Ming will not be forgiven!"

All the Ming officers and soldiers present were all working hard, and they let out an earth-shattering roar together, "Kill!" ”

After the pre-war mobilization, Zhu Linmiao immediately went to the Chinese army's big tent. The main officers of the Long Wei Army and the Broken Battalion were all summoned by Zhang Jiayu, and they also quickly gathered towards the Shuai Battalion.

Zhu Linmiao had just entered the military tent, and when he saw two unfamiliar faces among the officers standing in the front row on the left, he turned to Zhang Jiayu and asked, "Who are these two?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, the commanders of the swift battalion, who just arrived in Jiangning yesterday."

The two of them hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Long live my emperor." ”

Zhu Linmiao looked carefully, and saw that the two of them had changed into brand-new black military uniforms with breasts, and they looked very powerful and upright, so they smiled and raised their hands to return the salute, "You are doing well in Huguang, and this Northern Expedition will strive to make another miraculous achievement." ”

"Yes! It will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations! ”

After a while, all the dozens of officers arrived, Zhu Linmiao came to the top, waited for the generals to salute together, nodded and said: "This time I urgently invited everyone to come to discuss the matter, but the situation of the Jiangbei army has changed." ”

He looked at everyone and said in a serious tone: "According to the secret report of Beizhen, Dolgon transferred several Qing troops such as Jin, Shaanxi, Lu, and Beizhili to gather in Yangzhou. At present, the number of soldiers and horses in Duoduo's hands is no longer more than 60,000 as previously estimated, but has increased sharply to 150,000! ”
