Wu Tianshuang made the cold light, and the golden drum was noisy.

Thousands of soldiers under the tent listened to the order, and the generals in the army were solemn and majestic.

In the middle of September of the third year of the Ming Dynasty, the armies from all walks of life who participated in the military parade gathered in the capital, and the Beijing army, the border army, and the southern army, with more than 200,000 horses, crowded the Fengtai camp to the brim, and the barracks were also full of military tents. The large and small camps, connected from end to end, extend to the foot of the capital. The people of the capital. I haven't seen such a big scene for many years, and these rì are just like the New Year.

But in the countless barracks, there was a tense atmosphere, and all the governors and soldiers lived in the camps, watching their subordinates tidy up their flags, scrub their horses, oil their armor, and polish their blades; On the one hand, he urged them to seize the last time to train, and they must not drop the chain on the day of the parade. In addition to the strict requirements, the governors also became extremely talkative, and the departments under their command only approved whatever equipment they wanted to add, and tried their best to improve the food for the soldiers, just hoping that there would be a full jīng god face to show in front of the emperor at that time.

The common people waited for a long time, but the officers and men felt that time was flying, and in a blink of an eye, it was 21 September. The rìzi of the big parade!

Early in the morning, the people of the capital, whether they are large families who respond to each other, or ordinary citizens who help the old and the young, are all dressed up. With dry food and wine, I came to Zhangyimen Street with friends. Walk outside Guang'an Gate. There are so many people today, just opened the city gate, and the street of Zhangyimen is full of people, who doesn't want to see the scenery and pomp of the army? Who doesn't want to see what the emperor looks like? The people under the roots of the imperial city are always unfamiliar and alienated from the father and son emperor from Chu. First, Jiajing and Longqing belong to the otaku family, and they don't go out of the palace all year round, so they naturally lack a sense of existence in the hearts of the people.

Second, it is the unique sense of superiority of the people in the capital. In the words of an old man walking birds: "What's wrong with the emperor? I don't live in Běijīng City for three generations" is the same as a foreigner. , but no matter how mixed the feelings are, it does not affect the people's enthusiasm to watch the excitement. They went out so early for only one purpose. It is necessary to get a vantage point on the gentle slope to the east of the main school field.

Before midnight, the slope that was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people was already densely packed with people, making it impossible to plug in the later ones. It could only spread along the hillside to both sides of the school field, but fortunately, the military department had expected it and set up a special viewing area, so that the people did not fence off the school field and did not send a military parade.

At the right moment, in the Fengtai camp. Three earth-shattering cannons sounded, and the crowd suddenly fell silent, only to see a group of soldiers from the Beijing camp, holding their spears vigorously, and walked out of the camp neatly. A defensive line was set up on the perimeter of the large school field. I saw that every twenty zhang away, it is a color building, on both sides of the color building, three steps and a post, "five steps and a sentry." The officer standing under the color building. One by one, they were wearing mighty armor, their hands were on the hilt of their swords, standing still, and the sergeants were all wearing new uniforms, which made them even more majestic.

At this time, three cannons rang out at the Gongchen Terrace in the city, and the same new forbidden officers and soldiers also walked out of the military camp in the city, and all the official roads from the Forbidden City to the Daxiaochang were put under martial law, waiting for the emperor's royal drive.

一一"一一、一"一,一"一,壹"一,壹"

The Ming Dynasty was after Emperor Zhengde. There are few such exciting scenes, and many of the actions of the Zhengde Emperor, who liked military parades, were carried out under the opposition of his ministers. Therefore, it was regarded as nonsense by those civil servants who had mastered public opinion and pen sticks, and was severely reprimanded in the history books.

But today's Longqing Emperor Zhu Zaili is different, he is supported by the ministers "to carry out this military parade, the public expects, the sea is looking forward to!" Even the longqing emperor, who has always been mediocre and slack. I can't help but feel a little more confident and majestic!

On this morning, Longqing got up early in the morning for a rare time, "After a simple breakfast, he put on his sacrificial clothes, first went to the Taimiao Temple to worship his ancestors, and then under the service of the palace people, he took off his sacrificial clothes and put on a golden dragon armor!"

Facing the dressing mirror on the floor, Long Qing saw that the eunuchs first dressed themselves in colorful clouds with dragon stars, gold armor plates on their sleeves and shoulders, and a drag with red silk. Then put on the white gold fish scale armor, square neck placket, and gold armor with dragon playing beads, and then hang the royal ancestral seven-star sword on the waist, and finally wear a platinum helmet decorated with swan feathers and small flags. Longqing's first reaction was in a trance. Is this really yourself? Why is it so heroic?

After holding the shelf for a while, he felt that the helmet on his head was too heavy, so he reached out and took it off, and handed it to the chamberlain, but then he thought that there were only a handful of opportunities to wear a military uniform in this life. It's better to be caught in the crook of your arm.

When I came outside, I saw that a minister of civil and military affairs outside had been waiting there for a long time, maybe it had not been such a big scene for too long, everyone's expressions were very excited, Long Qing looked at everyone, his throat trembled, and he waved his hand vigorously and said: "Let's go!" ”

With his voice, the bell and drum tower took the lead in ringing the bell and drum, and the temple characters also responded together, singing and harmonizing with each other. Emperor Longqing boarded the splendid huge grid car, and all the ministers and officials, regardless of civil and military, got on their horses and followed the emperor to the outside of the city.

Hearing the loud bells and drums in the city, the people outside the city knew that the emperor was coming, and they all stared intently at the direction of the city gate in the distance. After a while, I saw the honor guard of the army come out. At the front were 500 dragon flags, led by 500 forbidden soldiers, followed by 54 dragon dragon songs. Behind the canopy is still a flag, and then two hundred Han generals wearing gold armor holding golden locks, lying melons, standing melons, lock axes, big knives, red stirrups, and yellow stirrups have opened, and finally there are two hundred eunuchs wearing python clothes, holding canopies, holding fans, buildings, flags, and silks, after the honor guard of more than 1,000 people, the huge golden sège car in Longqing slowly appeared in front of everyone under the strict protection of the brocade guard.

Long Qing was dressed in military uniform, holding a sword in his right hand, and his left hand was on the railing of the checkered car, riding in front of and behind him, hugging him and guarding him; The people of Haiti were looking up to him, fragrant and wine, looking at the dust and dancing. Everywhere the car went, people looked like a lodging wheat field. The five bodies fell to the ground, not daring to look up. This scenery, this pomp, this extraordinary glory "is the pinnacle of his life to experience the enthronement ceremony of the year" because in the context of the new funeral of the first emperor. Everything is simple and mainly mourning, of course, Longqing has not enjoyed such treatment today. He looked around, but saw the dragon flag covering him: look around to the left and right. The eyes are full of Jin Ge splendor. His face tensed. Trying his best to suppress his excitement, he stared ahead with his head held high, only to see the large school field full of tamped loess. It's already close to the eye.

Entrance to the school grounds. On the right side of the official road, several squires of the military department, the three governors of the nine sides, the civil officials who led the reading, and the military attachés above the staff general, were already waiting there. Seeing the light car approaching from a distance, they all turned over and knelt down, from the squire, the governor to the general, and the black crow knelt down in a large area, and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live............

Long Qing looked at this intoxicating scene motionlessly. After a long time, he said: "Flatten down......."

So the horns on the school field sounded in unison, and in the sound of military music, Emperor Longqing came to the high platform on the north side of the school field.

The hundred officials also followed the guidance and went to the viewing platforms on both sides of the high platform, and those officers who came to greet them returned to the camp one after another to prepare for the start of the parade.

I waited for a moment until Longqing's pocket watch showed that the hour had come. The two Han generals each carried a whip more than a zhang long, walked to the high platform, shook their hands, and the two long whips lay straight on the ground of the earthy yellow sè.

With the order of the officials of Honglu Temple, "The two Han generals will whip them up." Two long whips slashed in the air in two circles, followed by a crisp sound. , and immediately suppressed the noise completely. Silence returned to the field and off the field.

The long whip picked up two more circles, and there was a crisp sound; And then finally pick up two circles" is another crisp sound.

After three whips, the head of the cabinet arched high and used his thick voice to "announce the start of the parade!"

As a result, military music masterpieces, not only traditional drums and horns, but also tubas and flutes imported from the West, under the command of the chief court musician Xavier, played the passionate "Battlefield Point Soldier Song".

The neat steps stepped on the sonorous rhythm, and the first unit to be paraded appeared on the east side of the school field.

This is a phalanx composed of five hundred armored cavalry, "Qing Yi sè tall horses, saddle sheath reins are decorated with satin, soldiers wearing bright silver sè full body armor, holding a bright painted halberd, followed by the first officer in hand, dragon soil, the banner, neatly arranged into the school field.

When passing by the review stand, the soldiers in the entire phalanx "held high their halberds at the same time and shouted in unison in the direction of the emperor, "Long live!" Then he held up the halberd and shouted long live again, after three times. Thoroughly mobilize the atmosphere on the field. Those ministers who were originally sitting in the civil and military affairs all stood up involuntarily, Emperor Longqing on the high platform. actually produced bursts of continuous pleasure similar to **...... The grand and majestic scene in front of him couldn't help but make the emperor's blood boil in the deep palace and in the gentle countryside every day, and he finally understood why his uncle was intoxicated with such a scene. He would like to leave behind those wordy civil officials and go to battle with the Mongol army with tens of thousands of troops himself, a feeling that an emperor living in the deep palace would never experience. However, understanding is understanding, Long Qing does not have the rebellion and blood of Zhengde, but this does not prevent him from experiencing the pleasure of thousands of troops in the palm of his hand here and now.

is still under the reminder of the slander behind him. Long Qing remembered to draw his sword and pointed diagonally at the phalanx in greeting, so he exchanged for a more enthusiastic shout of long live.

The first phalanx walked over, followed by a group of five hundred black-armored cavalry, whose leading banner was embroidered with the words "Xuanfeng Jiazi Battalion", although the equipment of this cavalry was not as dazzling as the Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven in front. However, its 500 rides are like a neat step point of riding, and the full and lofty jīng god style is still eye-catching...... This is exactly the report on the results of Qi Jiguang's two-year military training!

After the selection of the Fengjia battalion, it was a 500 light armored cavalry under the banner of "Datong Town Pacesetter Battalion." Although this team has worked hard to show the neat side of the army, it is still dwarfed by the previous two teams. But their appearance. However, it attracted the most enthusiastic response from the audience, and those reserved ministers and ministers, and celebrities in the government and the opposition, all applauded and cheered desperately, as if this was not enough, not enough to express their appreciation for this team.

Even the military music has changed, and the triumphant song of heroes has been played! The fresh huā of Fengtai's specialty is shè out with bamboo cannons, such as the heavenly maiden scattering huā, falling into the ying, and giving this team a huā petal. Those onlookers who didn't know the truth couldn't help but ask, where did this army come from, and how did they receive such preferential treatment?

"I don't know...... The people on the side will first glance at the question with disdain, and then introduce them with a tolerant face: "This is Ma Jiajun!" ”。

, "I see......". The masses suddenly realized that this is the heroic army that killed me to the ground, and it really deserves it! So in the eyes of all. is a little casual, it becomes uninhibited, slightly restrained, and also becomes a master low-key......

After Ma Jiajun passed, it was the personal soldier unit of "Qi Jiguang's personal soldier unit" in Jizhen Pacesetter Battalion, Tang Kekuan's pro-soldier unit in Changping Town Pacesetter Battalion, and Yang Siwei's personal soldier unit in Zhenbao Town Pacesetter Battalion; And then there's the Xuanfu Town Pacesetter Barracks,. Zhao Ke's pro-soldier unit "Taiyuan Town Pacesetter Battalion" Yin Feng's pro-soldier troops: , Liaodong Town Pacesetter Battalion, Lu Keng's pro-soldier troops: , Yulin Town Pacesetter Battalion "Liu Xian's pro-soldier troops: , Ningxia Town Pacesetter Battalion,. Li Xi's pro-soldier troops; , Gansu Town Pacesetter Battalion "Jiang Yingxiong's pacesetter troops:, Guyuan Town Pacesetter Battalion" Guo Hu's pacesetter troops...... The troops of the eleven chief officers of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty were all present!

The last to press the formation were the "Xuanfeng T-shaped battalion" and the "Xuanfeng Xinzi battalion", two cavalry departments that also came from the forbidden army......

A total of 8,000 cavalry drove in front of the audience, with a majestic momentum. Crushed all the unconfidence that plagued the Chinese people, everyone was in their blood, and shouted loudly: "Expelle the Tartars, finish my golden ou!" ……

People haven't had time to calm down yet. The neat sound of war drums sounded around the school grounds, and the deep and low drums continued to gather and spread among the crowd. The drum beats range from mild to intense. Always keep the pulse of the people watching the ceremony, shake everyone's heartstrings, and make people can't help but have their blood surging, and they can't help but be ...... with the sound of war drums! ~！
