Chapter 5: The Great Shun Imperial Forest Army
The people of the capital division soon saw the cavalry battalion that had gone out as a vanguard.
The tall horses and mighty knights symbolize terrifying power. And what is even more puzzling and strange admiration is the army behind him with the flag of the Flying Bear Battalion. They were dressed in neat military uniforms, the same color and the same pace, the steps were neat, thousands of people walked in unison like one person, holding steel guns, and the shiny fire guns reflected bursts of reflection in the sun, and the cold light made people tremble. Seeing this scene, even people who don't understand military strategy can feel his great power.
It was this army that defeated the Tartars, captured the capital of Jiannu, and shamed the Ming Dynasty.
Now, they followed their emperor and set out on a journey again.
A neat queue walked out of the Zhengyang Gate and appeared in front of everyone's sight.
Afterwards, detachments of troops drove out.
The metropolis is full of people, boundless and boundless. After the Royal Guards Regiment was assembled in Beijing, there were originally a total of ten battalions, each with 2,000 soldiers and horses, not counting the recruits who stayed in Beijing for training, a total of 20,000 people. The 20,000 soldiers walked out of the capital together, connecting back and forth, as if they were boundless.
With so many soldiers, and all of them being so strong, when the Jingshi saw it, a feeling of our army's invincibility surged in their chests.
Hong Xiu, who was standing on the side of the road, suddenly felt the crowd around him get excited, and everyone shouted in a big voice: "This is the emperor's new army, the emperor's royal guard legion!" ”
"Is this the new Jingying? "Wei Jiexu saw the true face of the Royal Guards for ......the first time, even though he heard many people around him say that the Royal Guards are too powerful to match. But hearing is false, seeing is believing, and as soon as you hear the officials and soldiers, you can sound those uncles in the Beijing camp and those local soldiers and bandits. Being a soldier has become a last resort, and it has become a common saying that it has become a common saying that it is not necessary to choose a good man if he is not a soldier, and he does not fight nails.
But when Wei Jiexu really saw the official army appear in such a new attitude, he admitted that he was shocked from the bottom of his heart: "It is such a scene, it is such a strong army." Command freely and act as one. The armor is bright and the spirit is high. How can there be such a soldier......"
"I, Da Ming, even have such soldiers!" Captain Wang Ding muttered to himself.
Father Yang was a little shorter, he kept tiptoeing, his body was like being in the tide, and he was constantly squeezed back and forth by the crowd of people in front and back, which made him anxious: "Don't squeeze me, I want to see my strong army!" Don't squeeze me, I haven't seen it all yet! ”
At this moment, a rapid whistle sounded. Ahead, there was a sound of footsteps, and one by one the police officers dressed in black skins and some fire armor wearing gray robes and patrol armbands shouted urgently: "All departments listen to orders, control order, and don't cause a stampede!" ”
"Set up a road closure alert, maintain it!"
"Whoa!"
……
In the crowd, Father Yang listened to this short and powerful order, and said loudly: "Is it Zhao Wazi?" Hurry up and put order in here, it's crowded. Holy, I haven't been able to take a closer look! ”
Seeing this, Zhao Ying walked over laughing, and gave a few shouts, finally bringing the slightly chaotic order on the side of the road back to calm.
Father Yang took this opportunity to rush in and arrived in front of Zhao Yingxian.
Before he could say hello, Father Yang suddenly stared at him, pointed to the gate of Zhengyangmen, and exclaimed, "That...... Look, look! Is that the emperor? Is it my Ming Emperor? The long-lived lord who won the battle against the Tartars and cured the plague? ”
As soon as Zhao Ying thought of this, he immediately pressed Father Yang's fingers down, turned around, and saw a person walking out of a big carriage and a four-wheeled carriage.
This man in silver helmet and gold armor walked out of the carriage of the carriage, with a royal bearing, like the daylight in the dark night, which was distinguishable from everyone at a glance. It is the current Ming Emperor Zhu Cihong. He is of moderate stature, and his face looks exceptionally young, mixed with the maturity and frost that are rare at this age. At this moment, he stood up and waved to the people on the side of the road.
In the face of Zhu Cihong's actions, the people on both sides of the road boiled in vain.
Hundreds of people desperately followed and waved.
Father Yang felt a little relaxed just now, and suddenly felt that there were people surging forward in all directions.
"Look, Your Majesty is waving at me!"
"It's beckoning to us! Oh my God, God, this is really my Ming Emperor's expedition! ”
"With such a powerful army, what enemy can stop us from victory?"
"Long live my emperor!"
"Daming Wansheng!"
……
On both sides of the road, hundreds of people shouted, accompanied by the mighty military horn and the neat pace of the army, the atmosphere of the people of Beijing was ignited to the highest.
In the corner, Hong Xiucai looked at Zhu Cihong's back for a long time, muttering, his eyes full of shock: "I, Daming, how can I ever have such a mighty atmosphere?" This emperor is really ...... Times have changed. ”
……
Just when Hong Xiucai muttered to himself, he suddenly felt that someone around him was violently bumped, his chest was sweet for a while, and then his head was dizzy. The crowd suddenly became chaotic.
He leaned far, and with a good background, he chose a location on the second floor of a restaurant. But at this moment, the entire restaurant is full of people, and when it gets messy, there are people everywhere. Bumping into each other, pushing and shoving, Hong Xiucai was in this whirlpool, and his eyes suddenly turned white.
"Don't move!"
"Come forward, and those who dare to move will be defeated!"
"Shoulder to shoulder, press together!"
……
Boom......
A dull voice sounded, Hong Xiucai couldn't stop rubbing his chest, rolled his eyes violently before he eased up, turned his head, and found that the entire restaurant suddenly returned to calm.
Many men in energetic suits with capable actions lined up, and apparently began to pull up their hands in an orderly manner.
"The police station is handling the case, don't panic! He is a spy of the Tartars, and he wants to assassinate His Majesty. If there is a suspicion, it is hard to cooperate with the investigation, and it is not recommended to resist. There is no suspicion, and in a quarter of an hour it will be back to normal. Old and young masters, take care of yourself. A low, loud baritro voice sounded.
Hong Xiucai looked at the person and recognized it, this is the director of the Dongcheng Police Station, Lin Peng. Under his command, several men with capable actions are embroidered with spring knives on their waists, but they are all dressed in civilian clothes, without the flying fish clothes with the characteristics of Jinyiwei.
At this moment, these brocade-clothed guards desperately pressed a man on the ground, pressing his limbs tightly, and even stuffed a stinky sock that he couldn't find anywhere.
The people in the restaurant were empty a lot, and order was restored, Hong Xiucai looked back at the street and found that the military parade was still going on at the moment. What happened just now is even more exciting than what he has encountered in the past ten years, but when it comes to time, it has only been a few tens of breaths.
……
At present, the parade of the marching army has gradually come to an end.
When the last main battalion came out, there were already many baggage battalions and military hospitals.
The baggage battalion was originally known as the auxiliary barracks, and it was Xu Hong who was a thousand households. The officer, who commanded the largest number of non-combatants in the army, walked down Zhengyangmen Street and proudly watched the entire Zhengyangmen Street full of vehicles in front of him.
There are thousands of vehicles of all kinds. There are artillery carts drawn by four horses, heavy transport vehicles adapted from four-wheeled carriages, and countless flatbed carts loaded with military supplies.
The wheels ran over the bluestone slabs on the road, with the sound of rolling and rattling.
Countless people followed their eyes and fell on the big trucks that were full of loads, and they breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. They understood that the court was not the same as it used to be. The logistical problems that had plagued Emperor Chongzhen for countless days and months had apparently been resolved.
This is a strong army with no worries about logistics.
In addition, there are also the doctors of the army hospital who have made countless people in Beijing grateful to Dade. They followed the old medical worker to carry the first-aid kit on their backs, and set off with the baggage camp in white coats embroidered with a red licorice armband.
20,000 Royal Guards surrounded Zhu Cihong, walked out of the Beijing Division, and drove to kill Li Zicheng!
……
Taiyuan.
The name Li Zicheng seemed to have the meaning of the terminator for the Ming Dynasty. The king of Chuang, who has not surrendered all over the world, has now become the emperor of the Great Shun Kingdom, ascended the throne, led his soldiers and horses to claim 500,000, captured Taiyuan, and tried to sweep the world.
In the original history, after Taiyuan, there was no place for Gyeonggi to stand in the way.
The border army has been eroded, and the Beijing camp is even more dilapidated.
But in this plane, everything has quietly changed.
Not many people know about such changes, and even fewer can feel or believe them.
Li Zicheng is obviously not a person in this range. He is full of ambition, looking at Beijing, full of pride and fierce ambition.
Shun Guo Xing.
Li Zicheng stood in the former Jin Palace, and walked up to a city tower. This is a temporary building, and in the east, it is the garden of the Jin Wangfu that has been eradicated.
The garden has an unobstructed view and the floor is level, making it a great school grounds.
Knock knock knock......
The dull drum sounded, Li Zicheng put his hands behind his back, dressed in a dragon robe, and looked far away, and saw a thin black line coming out of the north.
Li Zicheng founded the country in Xi'an, followed the old things of the Qin State, respected water, and still practiced ink. So Li Yan built the Dashun Imperial Forest Army, and he wore black military uniforms.
This Imperial Forest Army was gathered and now the elites of various departments under Li Zicheng's command were raised, and in exchange, many recruits under Li Yan's command were also assigned to the hands of the rest of the generals.
Now, after nearly two months of training, this Dashun Imperial Forest Army, which was originally dominated by veterans, replaced the former forward battalion and was led by Li Yan, walked onto the street, and slowly marched towards the garden of the Jin Palace.
Ever since Li Zicheng had a base area, he has devoted himself to the training of soldiers, and after he has recovered stolen goods and provided assistance, the military salaries of the Shun army have also been basically supplied. The court's saying that once a month is diligent is to practice hard has long been unworkable when it comes to Shunjun. Shun the army up and down, three days not much drill, Li Zicheng will personally investigate.
is Liu Zongmin, who is busy tracking every day, and he will also let his subordinates practice hard.
When such a soldier is selected from the best of Li Yan's hands, as long as he has a little training, he will be enough to become a strong army.
The number of this force is about tens of thousands, and they have formed phalanxes one by one following Zhu Cihong's actions. It's just that the phalanx pikemen of the Shun army are in the heart of the four corners, and the musketeers are in the front row. The intention of such a formation was obviously to allow the pikemen in the four corners to rush out at any time to form a formation.
Tens of thousands of Dashun Imperial Forest Army is divided into five phalanxes, all of them are dressed in standard armor, the basic color is black, from a distance, except that the face is not black, a mass looks like ink, black pressed over, like a thick cloud.
"Black clouds overwhelm the city and want to destroy ......" On the city tower, Niu Jinxing said loudly: "It's only been more than a month of training, and there are more than 10,000 elite imperial forest troops under the command of General Li Yan. ”
"The ministers are also congratulating ......" Song Xiance followed.
The rest of the civil and military generals praised one after another: "Congratulations to the ministers......"
When Li Zicheng heard this, he laughed: "Hahaha." Whether the Royal Forest Army can fight or not depends on the test on the battlefield first. ”
Knock knock knock......
The sound of footsteps began to slowly and quickly approach, and tens of thousands of people and horses, when they passed by Li Zicheng's review, were like torrents, spreading across the boundless shore.
Getting closer, Li Zicheng can also see the details of this force clearly.
The Imperial Guards of Dashun were all dressed in armor, the musketeers wore cotton armor, the pikemen wore ordinary iron armor, and the archers wore various types of leather armor made from the skins obtained from the steppe trade.
Fully armored and well-trained. In the middle of the pace, it gradually formed a queue, and it took nearly half an hour to walk before the whole army needed to complete the team once. For Li Zicheng, such a scene can indeed be regarded as an elite soldier.
Li Yan was followed by Liu Zongmin, the Marquis of Ru, the general of Zhongyingquan, who led the main force with more troops. Especially after Li Yan took the elite route, many recruits joined the middle battalion. As a result, compared with Li Yan, who had more than 10,000 elite soldiers, the army under the command of Liu Zongmin, Marquis of Ru, was even more terrifying. walked all the way, and walked for an hour and a half without finishing, which provoked Song Xiance to have to remind him, which made the marching speed of the army faster.
"With this army, where is the world uneven?" Li Zicheng looked at the army under his command, and there were countless prides in his chest. To have quantity and quantity, quality and quality, thinking of the Ming army that surrendered to the wind along the way, Li Zicheng was full of confidence.
……
"The main force went out of the east gate, to the east, sent troops to Shouyang, pacified Dingzhou, and attacked Guguan, that is, Zhending to attack Gyeonggi through Jingcheng Pass. Here, his frontal enemy is the Supervisor Li Jiantai. ”
"At the same time, Li Zi organized his troops to the north, and Ren Jirong, the general of the system, led his troops and horses to the north to attack the border troops of Datong and Xuanfu Erzhen."
"The Israeli general Ma Chongxi stayed in Taiyuan, transferred military supplies, and maintained the ...... of the front"
In Taiyuan City, in a courtyard sheltered by the shadow of trees, countless information about the Shun army was gradually gathered, and a young man slowly read out: "And we...... It's time to go out, too. (To be continued.) )
