Chapter 299: Column
Guo Xing'a convened the staff group, and everyone got together to guess for half a night, and they didn't understand why Xianfeng suddenly wanted to parade. When he first arrived in Chengde, Guo Xing'a thought about inviting Xianfeng to come to the parade, first, to let Xianfeng see his hundred battles of the lion to make a good impression, and secondly, he also wanted to get the authority to expand the army from Xianfeng, but there was no suitable opportunity to speak several times, and the matter was put down. Now Xianfeng took the initiative to ask to come to the parade, of course, it is a good thing, but Guo Xing'a always feels a little weird. Xianfeng's health is not very good now, and he still drinks and sleeps with women when he has time, how can he think of coming to see the soldiers. But no matter what, the emperor asked to see it, that is, you have to see it if you understand, and you have to see it if you don't understand it, and Guo Xinga can only hurry up and prepare for the military parade.
Da Limen Xianfeng also made a decision this time, and issued 10,000 tasseled hats and more than 6,000 sets of military uniforms to the Gu'an Army at one time. They were all brand new blue cloth robes, as well as moon-white horse coats and official boots with cowhide soles. Of course, the rules are the same as those of the household department, and Guo Xing'a must also pay a benefit fee to receive the reward.
The clothes were brought back, and the trouble came, the clothes were not enough, and the distribution plan that Guo Xing'a casually said caused internal contradictions. According to Guo Xing'a's meaning, the people of Bi Yuntao, Bo Ritu, and Ji Ying wore the clothes rewarded by the emperor, and the people of the directly subordinate troops and Tan Shaoguang wore tweed military uniforms. But as soon as the order was given, Bi Yuntao and the others quit. Although the new clothes are given by the emperor, and it is quite handsome to tie an armed belt, but the Gu'an army is different from other Qing troops, everyone thinks that the tweed military uniform is better, and Guoxing's plan obviously has the meaning of being close and thin. If only the directly subordinate troops wear tweed uniforms, and all companies are the same, it is easy to say, but how can Tan Shaoguang enjoy the treatment of the directly subordinate troops.
For various reasons, Guo Xing'a has always been more partial to Tan Shaoguang, and Bi Yuntao and others don't say it, but they all keep it in their hearts. Every time there is something good, Tan Shaoguang will be the one immediately after the direct troops are divided, and everyone else has to be ranked behind. When Tan Shaoguang was fighting every time, he was the main attacker, and heavy weapons such as the artillery battalion were repeatedly transferred to Tan Shaoguang's command, and Bi Yuntao and others were already red-eyed. This time the clothes were divided, and the three regiment commanders were united and resolutely did not let Tan Shaoguang engage in specialization.
Bo Ritu and Ji Ying took credit for the scars, and Bi Yuntao fought for his qualifications, and even repeatedly mentioned how much effort he made when he captured Tan Shaoguang, which made Guo Xinga cry and laugh. There is really no choice but to engage in a compromise plan. The tweed military uniforms of the directly subordinate troops remained unchanged, and the other departments chose a main battalion to wear the tweed military uniforms, and the others wore the clothes given by the emperor. Goxinga forgot one thing, the main battalion in the column is at the forefront of the departments.
In the early morning of the third day, Xianfeng came to meet the not very warm sunshine, and the small north wind blew Xianfeng coughed again and again, but His Majesty the Emperor still held on. Xianfeng originally wanted to go to the grassroots level, go around the camp, and then go to see the wounded soldiers. As a result, as soon as they entered the camp, they found that the Gu'an army had assembled and set up a position in the school field.
"Yun Xian! Why bother to let the soldiers greet me outside on a cold day, I came to see them, there is no need to engage in these pomp and circumstance! ”
The military parade in Xianfeng's impression is not the same thing as the military parade designed by Guo Xing'a, most of the military parades of the ancient emperors are also a ceremony, but they are mainly based on battalion drills, which is closer to watching exercises. Although Xianfeng also wants to watch the drill, he mainly walks around the barracks, then watches an elite performance, and finally rewards something, and listens to the three shouts Long Live is over, there is no complicated scene such as columns.
"Master, the slave has learned some foreign things, and now he is showing off in front of the master!" Of course, Guo Xing'a knew that Xianfeng had never seen the column.
"Hehe, when you enter your barracks, it's all up to you, you can arrange it!" Xianfeng looked like a brother-in-law, and of course he was a little curious.
The sappers had already set up the viewing platform, and after Guo Xinga invited Xianfeng and a group of ministers to take the stage, he arranged for Xishou to kneel beside Xianfeng to explain, and then he got off the stage and changed his military uniform, ready to start the military parade. After changing his clothes, Guo Xing'a solemnly rode his war horse, jumped to the viewing platform with a saber, and greeted Xianfeng on the horse.
"Your Majesty, the first-class Jingqi Nihafan, the Imperial Blessing Yong, the Jingzhong Baturu, the rank of Squire of the Military Department, and the Blue Flag of Manchuria are all in Guoxing, please review the three armies!" Guo Xing's own military parade was of course extremely serious, and his voice was split.
"Long live Lord, the military gate will leap on a horse to inspect all departments and boost morale. Because it is like before the battle, it is impossible to give full salute to the Lord of Long Life! ”
Guo Xing'a didn't get off the horse and saluted, Xianfeng's brows furrowed, and Xishou, who was kneeling on the side, hurriedly explained to Xianfeng. The weather was quite cold, but the first time I saw the emperor's happy life, I was sweating profusely. A small specialist from Gu'an, he never thought that he would be able to see the emperor one day, and he was already nervous to death.
"Oh, quasi-play!" Xianfeng's brows only opened up before hearing this, but he was still a little uncomfortable.
"Quasi-play!" The viewing platform was more than three meters high, and the surrounding area was empty, and Xianfeng's words could only be shouted by the eunuch again to let Guo Xing'a hear.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Goxinga's throat slashed again.
With twelve guards including Fuquan, Guo Xing'a and his group of thirteen war horses, with a dressage pace, began to slowly run towards the various departments that were preparing to be read. Although the war horse is very handsome, Guo Xing'a is not comfortable, he is eager to quickly develop science and technology to change the society, and he also wants to stand in the convertible car for a military parade.
"Hello brethren!" Entering the range of the reconnaissance battalion standing at the front, Guo Xing'a roared hoarsely.
"Dashuai, good!" Because Guoxing's training is based on the military training of students, this set of Dongxi Gu'an Army has been practicing since the deserted village in the south of the Yangtze River, of course, it is extremely proficient, and Guoxing's voice has been responded to by a landslide as soon as his voice fell. Guoxing's war horse was hit by the sound and walked a little chaotically, and Xianfeng on the viewing platform almost didn't fall off his chair, he had never seen this before. Su Shun and the other ministers were also taken aback, and a few of the weaker ones were already a little pale.
"Brothers have worked hard!" If Guoxinga wants to learn, of course, he must learn a full set.
"Loyal to my emperor!" The thunderous sound came to mind again, and this time Xianfeng was much more comfortable. Of course, Xianfeng didn't know that this sentence was changed later, and it turned out that what he shouted every day was loyal to the handsome.
All departments have to compare, this wave is naturally stronger than the wave, and when Guo Xing'a ran back after a round, he felt that he had some tinnitus. Although Xianfeng's ears were much less damaged, his soul was greatly impacted! Regardless of the combat record, but the appearance of the army, Guoxinga is the champion in the country.
"The slave Guo Xing'a has finished the parade, please invite the emperor to start the parade!" Goxinga was still holding the sword on his horse.
"What do you mean!" Of course, Xianfeng didn't know what the column was, and Xishou was a little distracted by the great happiness of Mianjun, so Xianfeng could only ask himself.
"Back to Long Live Lord, the parade is a ceremony in which the various troops under your review pass in front of this viewing platform in front of the viewing platform and accept your review. All departments show their style, the military appearance is majestic, and it is the most beautiful! Xishou hurriedly replied.
"Oh, quasi-play!" Xianfeng felt that Guo Xing'a was still very attentive to himself, at least the ceremony arranged was very grand.
"Quasi-play!" The eunuch's voice was a little sharp, but it was really good.
"Minion Command! The parade begins! After Guo Xing'a greeted Xianfeng again, he gave the order to start the military parade, and then he took a back seat.
"Salute!" The red-faced and loud-voiced Saishana began to direct the parade.
Thirty-six salutes resounded all over the world, but this time Xianfeng and the others were not surprised, after all, they always put the salute.
"Stand upright, the pacesetter is in place!" Sezanne was also very tired, although he also had ten heralds under him to shout with him, but after all, the place was too big.
The whole army stood upright, and the pacesetters ran in a column to the specified position with their guns in their hands, and faced the troops in a gun-holding posture. At this time, Xianfeng and the ministers were shocked again, Lizheng's movements were not big, but they heard a neat "swish", and there was no noise at all. On the shoulder of the gun, there were only three neat "pops".
"It's still human! It's all marionettes, and they can't be so neat! Several ministers whispered.
"Let's go!" Seshana can finally take a break.
"Let's go!"
Changlu was the leader, and the three company commanders were the flag bearers, holding the big flag of the reconnaissance battalion, and the whole battalion of the reconnaissance battalion began to walk towards the viewing platform with neat steps.
"A hundred people are one!" The ministers were shocked again, they couldn't see people clearly, it seemed to be a sea of red and blue in front of them, and everyone's movements were exactly the same, even the amplitude of the swing of the arms was almost indistinguishable.
"Look to the right!" Guoxinga is playing the way of military training for college students, and the slogan should be to look to the right.
As soon as he kicked up, Xianfeng couldn't sit still, and almost stood up to look. The sound of footsteps is enough to shake the earth, and the sound of uniform footsteps is like an inhuman, indestructible war machine, which makes people's will be greatly shocked, and produces the feeling that their own mantis arms are unable to stop the advance of the army. Xianfeng asked himself, if he encountered such an enemy, he would probably run away. And because the situation of the gun is okay, Goxinga also added the action of splitting the gun in the phalanx. With the command of "look to the right", all the soldiers turned to the right step in unison, and with the rhythm of the positive step, the rifle with the bayonet was changed from shoulder-carrying to hand-held, and then it was slashed forward with force, turning into a posture of advancing with a spear. During the whole movement, only three extremely neat "clicks" can be heard. The first sound, under the shoulder of the rifle, catches the handguard with the left hand; The second sound is to turn the body of the gun forward forcefully, from the state of leaning on the body to the state of vertical forward; The third blow was a sharp forward slash of the gun, and the bayonet turned from facing the sky to pointing diagonally upward, and slammed into the hip. These three actions, all in the three "clicks", the phalanx immediately changed from a peaceful posture of carrying a gun to a spear forward, indomitable, and murderous.
"Long live Lord, this is the reconnaissance battalion of our Eight Banners in Gu'an, known as the first strong army under the leadership of Gu'anzuo, and the leader of the team is the battalion commander Changlu, who is from a specialized background. The reconnaissance battalion has made meritorious achievements since the marshal formed an army in a deserted village in the south of the Yangtze River, breaking Huang Daping and attacking small Nanjing...... "Xishou became a commentator, these words were made up for him by Guo Xing'a, so that Xianfeng could understand the war history of each department while watching the right steps.
"It is worthy of being called the first under Yun Xian, and it is really majestic!" Xianfeng nodded again and again, splitting the gun and stepping forward, shocking him miserably.
The medical team and artillery battalion that followed were a bit mediocre, because the medical team was small in number, and the artillery could not push the artillery up. With the Jewel of the Reconnaissance Battalion's honor guard in front, these two teams could only be overshadowed by the light of their comrades, just like their exploits.
"Long live the lord, this is our Gu'an Eight Banners's baggage battalion, the slave is the battalion commander of this baggage battalion, since the marshal Gu'an became an army, our department has followed the marshal no less than a hundred battles, and has not taken a step back!"
The artillery battalion was followed by the baggage battalion, and of course Xishou wanted to blow his troops to death, and Guo Xing'a didn't make up the words, and he made up for them himself.
"You've worked hard too!" Xianfeng casually encouraged Xishou with two sentences.
"Be loyal to the Long Live Lord, the minions dare not say that it is hard!" The big snot bubbles of Xishou are almost beautiful.
"Good!"
Before Xishou was proud enough, the heavy cavalry battalion came up, and the ministers praised it one after another. This is also something that can't be helped, the equipment of the heavy cavalry battalion is extremely complicated, not to mention marching in formation, even if the horses are frightened and running around, it is also very good-looking. Moreover, the heavy cavalry battalion is all sword-wielding, and the snow-bright German-style sabers, coupled with the high-headed horses, are naturally extremely handsome.
"Long live the lord, this is the heavy cavalry battalion directly under the direct jurisdiction of the marshal, developed from my iron cavalry, the battalion commander Mu Shun is not only strong in martial arts, but also high-spirited, known as the hero. Since the commander of the army, the heavy cavalry has followed the commander to perform many miraculous feats, breaking Huang Daping, attacking Chizhou, capturing Zhong Wanshou, Tan Shaoguang ...... "Xishou said excitedly, and said more about the merits that Guoxing'a deliberately hidden, and captured Zhong Wanshou and Tan Shaoguang's battle. Hearing Tan Shaoguang's name, Xianfeng's brows furrowed again, but he quickly stretched out again.
As soon as the heavy cavalry passed, the infantry regiment-level unit led by Bi Yuntao drove up, and Xianfeng and the ministers were even more excited, after all, no matter how beautiful the previous one was, it was only a few hundred people, and the big scene of thousands of people was of course even more shocking. The sound of more than 2,000 people is moving, but it really has the effect of shaking the world, Xianfeng feels that his heartbeat is taken away by the rhythm of the positive step, and his thin body also has a feeling of blood boiling.
"Long live Lord, this is the infantry regiment under Zuoling, which has developed all the way from the original infantry company of Zuoling. The regiment commander Bi Yuntao was originally the commander of the Jiangnan battalion, and since the time of the infantry battalion, he has taken over the infantry, and he has been the ......backbone of all major battles.
"That's Tan Shaoguang?" When the riding group began to be read, Xianfeng suddenly asked.
"Back to Long Live Lord, Commander Tan is not here, he is sick today and cannot preside over military affairs, so the marshal let him stay in bed to recuperate!" Xishou was also wondering, how could Tan Shaoguang, who had always been in good health, say that he was sick.
"He's not convinced!" Xianfeng muttered meaningfully.
