462 Soul of the Army

Just under the watchful eye, the newly armed non-commissioned officers appeared on the scene. There was not a hint of commotion, nor the chaos that some people expected, all with serious expressions, the throttling of the pawns, the crash of armor and the sound of footsteps in unison. It's as if these new sergeants beat themselves and the earth as a drum, and the sound of beating even drowns out the real drums, which is shocking!

This was not the end, the cavalry officers of the new army appeared in a row of five horses, in unison, marching in unison, entering at a medium speed. The rumbling of horses' hooves, as soon as it joins the mixed sound over the school field, adds to the shock!

Before the three drums were finished, more than 5,000 members of the new army had already completed their formation on the school ground, divided into three phalanxes, and were in order.

Those civil and military officials who wanted to see the joke were already speechless in a daze. Although they haven't had a drill and competition yet, the momentum of this appearance has already shocked them.

Although this is a new army, the non-commissioned officers who make up the new army are all elite veterans of the armies on all sides, and basically they have seen blood. Just standing there, the killing aura of more than 5,000 people gathered can make ordinary weak scholars frightened.

With such an army and such momentum, who would dare to laugh at this is a silver spear candle head?

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with the general's platform, and he didn't speak, but just ordered Xi Mao Yuanyi, the chief instructor of the new army, to order the start.

So, on the school ground, only Mao Yuanyi's loud order was heard, and the three phalanxes below began to practice along with the military order. All kinds of tactical actions are basically neat and consistent, and the orders and prohibitions, especially the drills of the military formation, make many knowledgeable generals can't help but nod.

Zu Dashou, who was standing on the stage, knew more than others. He believed that if he told his colleagues that the generals of this army were captains and above, they were all familiar with military theories and that they were all good in the martial arts assessment, they would definitely be surprised.

Not to mention, the emperor also arranged for the prison army to teach all the soldiers of the new army. It can be said that the soldiers in this army who do not know how to read no longer exist. The difference is just how much you know. Such an army, which is estimated to have never been seen in all dynasties, is simply extremely luxurious. Well, it is also the hope that the military attache can turn over! I hope you don't live up to the emperor's expectations!

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, when watching the drill of the new soldiers, also glanced at the civil and military officials, and saw that they all showed surprise on their faces, and he couldn't help but be very happy. I threw myself into the new army, and now I finally have a little gain.

This is just a military formation and tactical drill, and the skills of these elite soldiers have not yet been reflected. Otherwise, I am afraid that these civil and military officials will be surprised.

Not to mention that the spearmen's spears are longer than ordinary spears, and they can take advantage of them on the battlefield; Just those archers, when they were first selected, they all had to be the standard of sharpshooters, with strong bows and accurate shooting, even if they were white-armored soldiers who were built, they would probably be unlucky when they encountered them.

In addition, there is an artillery battalion, which has not yet been practiced, and when the training is completed, let the people of this era see what it is like to fire a group of artillery!

Half an hour later, the drill ended. The three phalanxes reunited in front of the point. Cao Bianjiao, Zhao Jie, and Sun Lei each stood at the front of the phalanx, waiting for the announcement of the results of the drill.

Mao Yuanyi turned around and strode to the front of the palace, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, the new army has completed the drill, please appoint the generals!" ”

When the civil and military officials heard this, most of them couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Emperor Chongzhen. In their eyes, the drills of these three phalanxes are very good, and the soldiers are also very elite, and they can all do the order and prohibition. In this case, how will the emperor choose?

However, some of them had real talents and learned military attachés, and they turned their attention to Cao Bianjiao. From the eyes of their insiders, it can be seen that there is still a difference in the performance of the three phalanxes. If the emperor also knows how to do it, judging from the drill just now, it is estimated that he will definitely choose this.

There is no accident, Cao Bianjiao's hard work has finally paid off. Emperor Chongzhen's hand-picking was to appoint him as the general of the new army.

"Cao Bianjiao, the general of the first division of the Ming Imperial Army, and Feng Dehua, the division supervisor, came to the stage to thank him." The shrill voice of the eunuch on duty suddenly made many civil and military officials wonder again. Then forget about Cao Bianjiao, who is this division supervisor Feng Dehua?

A few people knew that Zu Dashou was also involved in the affairs of the New Army, so they asked for advice in a low voice. Zu Dashou pointed his finger at the eunuch who came to the stage with Cao Bianjiao and said: "It's him, he is the supervisor of Cao Bianjiao's department, because Cao Bianjiao was promoted to a division general, he also became a division-level supervisor, a division supervisor, from the fourth grade!" ”

As soon as they heard this, they hurriedly looked over and found that the overseer from the fourth grade was very young! There are a lot of new things in this new army, and I can't help but inquire about each other again.

However, the noise suddenly attracted the reprimand of the supervising etiquette imperial history. I had to hold back, ready to wait for this matter to be over, and inquire about it.

Of course, those bigwigs who have a heart in the DPRK and China have already inquired about it, and it is not difficult to learn about the establishment of the new army. For them, it is naturally not unusual.

On the platform, Emperor Chongzhen saw Cao Bianjiao and Feng Dehua two young men thanking the emperor, so he smiled and asked them to calm down, and then said a little more seriously: "Today is the time when the new army is really formed, and the military flag of the new army has already been prepared." ”

After finishing speaking, he nodded to Cao Huachun, the eunuch who was standing beside him. I saw Cao Huachun take the tray from a palace maid in the back, personally deliver it to Cao Bianjiao and Feng Dehua, and handed it to the two of them while whispering a word.

So, Cao Bianjiao and Feng Dehua teamed up to unfurl the military flag and display it for everyone to see.

I saw that the bottom of this military flag was red, and the word "Ming" was simply embroidered in the middle. Underneath the word "Ming", there are two firearms embroidered crosswise, which are a bit similar to bird guns, but not exactly. On the vertical strip on the inside of the flag, the words "The First Division of the Ming Imperial Army" are embroidered.

Emperor Chongzhen said with a serious face: "This is the flag of the new army, which represents your new army. You are brave and invincible, and the enemy will be terrified when they see this banner. On the contrary, this military flag represents shame! This flag represents what all of you have done. The future glory of this flag depends on each and every one of you. It can be said that this military flag is the soul of your army. ”

At this time, his eyes were blazing, he crossed the military flag, looked at all the new soldiers in the audience, and continued to say loudly: "I hope to see that this military flag can raise the prestige of my Ming army and make the enemies of the Ming Dynasty fearful. Retain the fine style of the army, condense the soul of the new army, pass it on from generation to generation, and make this military flag immortal forever! Answer: Can you do it? ”
