…………………………………………………………………………
Xiao Rong is collected, and Wu Zhen Liang is reeled. The wandering ring is driven by the coercion, and the yin is continuous. Wen Yin Chang hub, drive me Qi Bao. Words and thoughts are gentlemen, and they are as warm as jade. In its board house, disturb my heart.
Four peony holes, six bridle in hand. Qi is the middle, and the horse is the horse. The combination of the dragon and the shield is a bolt. Words and thoughts of the gentleman, warm in the city. What is the duration? Hu Ran, I read it!
Gang Qun, Spear Bolt. Mengfa has a garden, and the tiger is carved. Two bows are crossed, and the bamboo is closed. Words and thoughts of the gentleman, carry the bed. Disgusted with loved ones, rank rank and virtue.
"National Style? Qin Feng? Xiao Rong is a pre-Qin poem that describes the wife's nostalgia for her husband. When the Qin division goes on an expedition, his family members will see him off, and the wife of the person who goes on the expedition should be among them. Afterwards, the wife recalled the spectacular scene when her husband went out on the expedition, and then thought of the scene after her husband left home, recalled the beautiful image left by her husband, and hoped that he would make meritorious achievements, win a good reputation, and return triumphantly.
The scene of tens of thousands of people chanting the Book of Poetry together is so spectacular that it is impossible to describe it in words, and the heavens and the earth are full of quaint poems, which seem to have a strong historical atmosphere.
When greeting the teacher of Ban Sheng, we should use the "Xiaoya? Out of the car", it's a pity that Lu Zhe is not a prince, so he can't use that kind of etiquette, and the people below can only use the "Book of Songs?" "Xiao Rong" in "National Style" to replace.
At this moment, the meaning of "Xiao Rong" is that the fathers and villagers of Nanjun are looking forward to it, waiting for the soldiers to return from the spoils of war.
In the distance, two armies heard the chanting, and after the officers explained aloud the meaning of the poems chanted in front, the two armies shouted three times at the same time "Hey! Hey! Hey! The rhythm of the steps suddenly accelerated.
Sure enough, it is still an immature army. Otherwise, we shouldn't speed up the pace now, but we should choose a song "Morning Wind" in the "Book of Songs" to echo.
But then again, the army of Nanjun was not long in existence, and the officer class was also a group of people who had not undergone "general education", and Lu Zhe had prepared for more than ten days for this scene to welcome Ban Sheng's division, but the generals who went out to prepare were also powerless, and they did not have learned people to teach.
In the Warring States Period, the regular army of each country would undergo several kinds of education, and in addition to drills and formations, learning the poems in the Book of Poetry was also one of them.
The soldiers of the army do not study poetry for the sake of literary literacy, and the Chinese nation is a nation of "poetry". Poetry is a kind of sentiment, even if people who can't read big characters will have inexplicable joy when they hear others chanting poetry. In many cases, the army is practicing military songs when learning the Book of Songs, and in the rich history of nearly 1,000 years, every poem in the Book of Songs has its meaning.
The Qin army sang "No Clothes" for more than 300 years, singing this war song to step through the green mountains and green waters, enter Guanzhong from the northwest frontier, step into Bashu from Guanzhong, and attack the south from Bashu. Until the unification of China.
Many vassal states, including Qin, have their own war songs with a relatively long history, such as Zhao, Wei, and Korea in the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and these three vassal states do not have their own poems. After all, they were split from the Jin Kingdom, so that when the Zhao, Wei, and Han kingdoms marched or fought against each other, they always had to choose from the 7 chapters of "Wei Feng" and the 12 chapters of "Tang Feng" in the "Book of Songs", and it was very common for two warring armies to chant the same Book of Songs.
Oh, the so-called "Wei Feng" is not the Wei State during the Warring States Period. It was a vassal state with a much longer history, probably one of the more than 3,000 vassal states during the feudal period, and was later annexed by the Jin state.
There is no Confucianism in Nanjun. There's a lot to be criticized about the whole rough welcome ceremony, but who cares, all they need is a bit of fun.
Confucianism is not a Confucian student, but refers to a scholar with the inheritance of the Lu State. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Lu was the "State of Historians" of the Zhou royal family responsible for recording history, and was later destroyed by the State of Qi. After the unification, the Great Confucianism is still a role such as a historian, but most of the people who are responsible for the memorial ceremonies such as worshipping the sky, worshipping, sacrificing the army, and the labor army, etc., in short, it has become a little different.
The absence of a corresponding etiquette is a flaw, and the whole welcome scene is a little out of line with the ancient style.
The 40,000 soldiers in the formation sang "National Style? Qin Feng? Xiao Rong was quiet, and Lu Zhe, who was standing on the stage, once again signaled the trumpeter and drummer to prepare, if someone who could understand it was present, it would be clearly a "War Drum" with the sound of a big drum. (PS: Explore the soundtrack "War Drums" by Seeing the Dragon's Unarmoring, Kugou music and potatoes are available.) In addition, it is recommended to listen to the song "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor Original Music: Fengming Mountain" for honor, this is music, and the current pop music is noise)
When the rhythmic sound of the war drums was played, everyone who heard this music for the first time was stunned for a moment, and as the war drums and horns became vast and rapid in unison, they couldn't help but stare at the Jiangtai, where fifty drummers twisted their sweaty arms to beat the war drums, and nearly a hundred trumpeters lined up in a straight row carrying the horns with their hands.
The music that I had never heard before was so powerful that it made the muscles of the body tense involuntarily, and the blood boiled with the heavy war drums and long horns.
Lu Zhe tossed for several days for today's music to get the score out, and then asked the musician to teach the drummer and trumpeter, and the "band" that had been rehearsing for nearly a month finally lived up to expectations today and played the melody of "War Drums" in front of nearly 300,000 people.
When the two armies that were speeding up the march approached the three-mile road, the melody of "War Drums" was at the most urgent moment, and the 40,000 soldiers waiting in a queue could not help but beat their weapons to meet the melody, and the onlookers were also inspired by the music to shout unwillingly.
"I love it." Lu Zhe looked at the soldiers and civilians who had fallen into a frenzy and turned his head and said to the winged flail whose face was flushed with excitement.
"Yes, Lord Shire!" The Winged Flail had reason to be excited, and he could imagine how playing such music in the middle of a large-scale battle would boost the morale of his side.
Yan Bi under the general's stage, he was pondering: "How can you do it without poetry?" The Doctor should be called in to write a poem, so that this magnificent music can become part of the war song. ”
"The Drums of War" has reached the middle section, which is a very smooth and rhythmic sound of war drums, and the music of this section is perfect as a marching song. It will make people can't help but move their steps to the rhythm of the war drums.
Under the influence of the music, the two armies close to Sanli really turned into a rhythmic stride, and the sound of the 40,000 soldiers in this formation beating their weapons also remained consistent with the rhythm of the music.
What does music stand for in this day and age? The Spring and Autumn period is a pleasure for princes, a character that can only be enjoyed by the monarch who "waits for the country". In the Qin Kingdom, music is the voice of the nobility, and it is a pleasure that can only be heard by nobles. Ordinary people may even hear the syllables of music in their lifetimes, but today Lu Zhe gave them a big surprise.
The leaders of Nanjun felt that their lives were worth it, and they unexpectedly enjoyed a treatment that only nobles could enjoy. It was the first time in their generation that they heard music, and in an instant they felt that their souls were sublimating, and many of them were fascinated by it and burst into tears.
Lu Zhe on the stage was too far away to see Qianshou's performance, but in fact, music was an ordinary thing in life for him. I don't understand the sublimation and emotion of people in the moment when they hear music. He saw the rhythm of the march guided by the gentle sound of war drums, and there was a strange sudden realization on his face.
"Wasn't the 'platoon and row shooting' in the arquebus era all about using drums to keep the queue going?" Lu Zhe habitually touched his chin: "I have always gone into a misunderstanding, thinking that training the army is a difficult problem to control without two or three years." Of course, the training of soldiers can also use the sound of drums to control the neat steps of the soldiers, and use the rhythm to maintain the integrity of the entire military formation? ”
And it seems that this is really effective? Rhythmic music is very suggestive to people, and as long as the rhythm is appropriate, it is not difficult to control the steps of the soldiers.
"This can be slowed down, anyway, the combat environment in a short period of time is mostly mountainous and jungle......" Lu Zhe secretly planned in his heart: "The next stage is to continue to send soldiers into Qianzhong County, so that they can accumulate experience in the fight with the Baiyue tribe." ”
Yes, the battle of Hengshan County gave Lu Zhe a strong worry, and the soldiers of Nanjun were armed and those rabble could fight like that. What if you encounter an enemy army that is armed to the teeth? He began to realize that his soldiers should be put through fighting, not captivity-style drills.
There are still many Baiyue tribes in Qianzhong County, and the Baiyue tribes in the plains have been wiped out, but there are still many Shanyue tribes in the mountains that are not easy to exterminate. This is exactly the right target for military training.
When the pondering Lu Zhe was awakened by a cheer that shook the heavens and the earth, the two armies were already passing through the Jinghua Gate, and the soldiers stayed in the reserved field to form a group after passing through, while the generals dismounted and walked towards the general's platform.
The generals above the captain are qualified to personally accept Lu Zhezhong's praise. And the number of people is only three.
Ji Bu, Gongwei, and Yoshikan, who came to the bottom of the general's platform, had just stopped and stood up, and someone next to them reminded them that they should step up to the second station, and then announce their results to the leaders of Qian.
Ji Bu, who represented the troops sent from Qianzhong, encountered such a scene for the first time. He didn't know what to do at all, and at first he didn't have the confidence to introduce the results of the battle so much, but when it came to the number of captures, the leaders broke out into earth-shattering cheers. Qianshou's response made him stunned for a moment, and his voice finally became louder, and with a smug face, he introduced how many barbarian heads he had captured.
With what happened to Ji Bu, when it was Yi Kan's turn, he naturally knew what to do, and he first told the huge amount of money he had captured to cause the cheers of the Qianshou, and then he said how much loot he had captured.
The cheers of the leaders were enthusiastic, they had been smashed by the "war dividend" some time ago, and they all wondered: "Will the county lord reward the people under his rule again because the two victorious divisions brought back a huge amount of capture?" (To be continued......)
