In the Temple of Heaven in the south of the city, the morning sun is just right, and the September season is no longer hot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, what is more important is the purpose of this ceremony.

This is the grand ceremony of the Ming Empire to launch the eastern conquest of Liao.

Outstanding representatives from all walks of life in the empire gathered here, and solemnly watched Zhu Cihong walk onto the high platform in military uniform.

Zhu Cihong on the stage looked much better than in recent days, full of energy, and full of vitality.

He looked around left and right, his eyes swept away from the ranks of the ministers of the civil and military classes, and finally his gaze fell on the phalanx that stood proudly and solemnly.

It was the Jinwu Army of the Ming Empire and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard stationed in Beijing.

The Jinwu Army was stationed in the Santun Camp, the original garrison of Jizhen, and was responsible for the defense of the entire Beijing Division. The Praetorian Guard is the defender of the Beijing Division, the garrison of the Beijing Division.

Both divisions are first-class main forces, and they are the best in the army in terms of equipment and personnel.

However, it is precisely because both of them are the main forces stationed in the Jingshi area that they are more likely not to move. As a result, whether it was the recovery of Liaonan by the Red Lady of Liaodong, or the attack of the First Army and the Third Army under the command of Ni Yuanlu to solve the Mongolian problem, there was no matter of the Jinwu Army and the Praetorian Guard.

No matter how good the knife is, if it is not wiped often, it will rust.

No matter how brave a soldier is, if he is trapped in the Beijing military camp for a long time, and even some generals are infected by the red dust world of the Beijing Division, it will inevitably deteriorate and fade.

Therefore, whether it was the Jinwu Army or the Praetorian Guard, when they heard that His Majesty the Emperor was determined to conquer in person, they were so happy that they had to jump to the sky. Although the defenders of the Beijing Division are treated well, they are ultimately the bone erosion pools in the gentle township, and one day it will be difficult to get out of the rusty knife. This is a fire for the officers and men of the two armies who are eager to make meritorious contributions and make a name for themselves on the battlefield. If you don't guide it properly, you won't burn the enemy, but you will destroy yourself.

Fortunately, at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor decided to go on a personal expedition.

The officers and soldiers of the two armies were elated, and in this time of the Eastern Expedition ceremony, they selected the elite soldiers in the army, and after some strict training, and even the height was the same, they appeared on the Temple of Heaven.

The neat and uniform square array is square, the queue is like one, the order is like one, and thousands of people give an order, and act like one person. Their military uniforms are neat, solemn and vigorous.

If it is said that height and volume are just foreign objects, the inspection school in Beijing during the Chongzhen period also had a fairly strict exercise. Even His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but feel appreciative when he saw it, thinking that there was still a strong army in Beijing.

But the layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

To use one's life on the battlefield, it is not only necessary to see a strong physique, but also to be well-trained, and it is forbidden to do so. And these are even more rare, and they are the necessary qualities of elite teachers.

If you count the elite divisions, there will be something different from ordinary troops.

Some people say that it is called the soul of the army. To put it in layman's terms, it is the morale of the military.

If an army has formed its own unique style of morale, has its own history and the spirit of honor engraved in the bones of this army, it will unconsciously have a layer of aura on the spiritual level, which is beyond the ordinary army.

Obviously, whether it is the Praetorian Guard or the Jinwu Army, they are both strong armies with glorious traditions and history.

Their appearance caused cheers from the people of Beijing.

Everyone talked about their glory in the discussion, and the soldiers, listening to those discussions and appreciation, couldn't help but raise their heads even more, and greeted this ceremony with the greatest spirit.

Zhu Cihong looked at all this, and felt that his chest was full of a sense of accomplishment that he had never felt before.

All this, a new Ming, was created single-handedly in his hands.

"Jin Wu Army! Salute to His Majesty the Emperor and ask His Majesty the Emperor to review it! At this time, Hu Dawei, the chief general of the Jinwu Army, walked forward and led the honor guard of the Jinwu Army to walk through the Temple of Heaven.

Zhu Cihong looked at the queue of the Jin Wujun and slowly raised his hand to salute back: "Ming Wansheng!" ”

"Long live my emperor!" When the soldiers heard this, they shouted in unison.

Subsequently, Ning Wei, the chief general of the Praetorian Guard who followed Zhu Cihong almost all the time, changed his previous appearance at this moment, he took the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard out of the ranks, walked on the avenue under the Temple of Heaven, and led the honor guard of the Praetorian Guard to also walk in front of Zhu Cihong, and accepted the review salute: "Praetorian Guard!" Salute to His Majesty the Emperor and ask His Majesty the Emperor to review it! ”

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "The soldiers have worked hard. ”

"For the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty!"

With the shouting of the soldiers, outside, many people and guests watching the ceremony couldn't help but shout excitedly to recruit them. The atmosphere of the scene was eager to reach its peak for a while.

In the audience, many people saw the review of the imperial army for the first time.

For example, the merchants who come from all over the world.

For the first time, they were able to enter heaven to watch the ceremony with honor, Brother Tuesday and Song Qiye were very excited, and unexpectedly, there was Zheng Sen beside the two of them.

The three of them were close to each other, and when they talked, they all felt a little speculative.

Looking at the scene of the army, Song Qiye didn't know much, but he felt that the appearance of this army was very powerful, but he couldn't say why, he looked at Brother Tuesday and said, "Second brother, this army looks at this battle, it's really first-class and powerful." Although I am a few years older, I can't understand the things of marching and fighting. It's just that the swords, guns, and firearms in hand, the jacket and pants on his body, and the leather boots and leggings on his feet are all of the best quality. Although I can't touch it, looking at this color, it is almost the same. Second brother, you are a figure on the Cao Gang, tell me about it? ”

"Seventh Master, if you want to talk about vision, then you are right. This vision is powerful, but he sees these subtleties. Usually my Ming soldiers are the same, hey, I really know. Don't say what you wear on your body or what you have on hand, it's all things that can be improvised, it's enough to eat and choke, and talk about training and fighting. But if you want to talk about this Praetorian Guard and the Jinwu Army, it really deserves to be a strong army with a brand. This kind of main male division is on the field, hey, the money we spent, not wronged. Don't look at the money spent. That's the imperial court. Whether the army is powerful or not, it naturally depends on this spirit. The queue is as straight as the line drawn, it is all skin, and this is a brave and strong army in the bones, and that is the fundamental point. ”

After speaking, Brother Tuesday looked at Zheng Sen's body with a blank look: "Da Mu, look, isn't this the reason?" ”

"When students come out to study, they have never seen military affairs, so they dare not talk about it." Zheng Sen looked very humble.

Brother Tuesday laughed, but he saw the dodge in Zheng Sen's eyes, and that complicated feeling.

"Your Majesty is going to speak, everyone don't sit down yet, let's get ready to go." Zheng Sen quietly changed the subject. (To be continued.) )
