Chapter 1080: Shock
As Shang Ji's voice fell, two relatives and guards next to him immediately joined hands to hold a folded military flag and walked towards Shang Ji, stood still in front of Shang Ji, and bowed down to give the military flag to Shang Ji.
Shang Ji took the battle flag, pinned his hands on it, stepped forward, and shouted: "Praetorian Guard, take the flag!" ”
"Praetorian Legion takes the flag!"
Dian Wei shouted, stood up, and took the flag from Shang Ji's hand.
Then several Praetorian Guard generals who had been waiting for a long time joined forces to unfurl the general flag, revealing the flying dragon with teeth and claws inside.
Immediately after that, the flag was hung on the flagpole with hands and feet, and the flag was waved in the wind, and the hunt sounded.
"Praetorian Legion, Wan Sheng!"
Dian Wei held up the flagpole with one arm, used all his strength, and roared loudly.
"Praetorian Legion Victory!!"
The soldiers of the 30,000 Praetorian Guard Corps rang out, and the cheers that shook the sky spread throughout Xiangping City.
After the victory of Shanhu, Shang Ji stepped forward and said loudly: "I hope you can live up to the expectations of the general, fight bravely to kill the enemy under the guidance of the Battle Dragon King Banner, and be worthy of today's oath!" ”
"Obey the Lord's teachings!"
The history of the military flag has a long history, and in the real ancient world, the main role of the military flag was to command and identify identity. And there are many types of military flags, and their functions are not the same.
For example, the big tooth banner that represents the identity of the main general, where the big tooth flag is where the main general is, and the soldiers of their own side rely on the big tooth flag to command the battle in the chaotic battlefield, once the big tooth flag falls, then it can basically be declared defeated.
And the large number of flags in the ancient army is not for the sake of beauty, each flag represents an army, and the soldiers who belong to it need to follow the banner to fight.
In short, in history, the military flag is a very complex science, involving a lot of things, and it is by no means as simple as looking good.
In modern society, new means of communication and command emerge one after another, and the communication and command function of the military flag has gradually disappeared, mainly playing a spiritual and inspiring role, and the function of the flag in the beacon is more similar to that of the modern military flag, and the main thing is to unite people's hearts.
Of course, as a world that does not emphasize science, the military flag has many other functions.
Take the Battle Dragon King Banner granted to the Praetorian Legion as an example, this banner looks simple, but it is a real artifact, with many functions and powerful effects!
When fighting against the enemy, the Dragon King Banner can deter the enemy army and reduce the morale and morale of the enemy; It can help legionnaires immunity to psychic attacks to a certain extent; It can increase the speed of marching and the effect of training; It can improve morale, improve loyalty, and speed up the recovery of physical and internal strength; There are also several very practical active skills such as [Blood Battle], [Defense], [Retreat], [Furious Attack], and [Trimming].
It can be said that this banner has directly increased the combat effectiveness of the Praetorian Guard Legion by a large margin!
Of course, such a strong prop is not just what it says, with the strength of the Shang Ji army, it is not yet able to make a god-level military flag. This Battle Dragon King Flag is the only god-level military flag in today's flag, and the rest are heaven-level military flags.
This precious god-level military flag is also a trophy captured by Shang Ji from Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Guard, originally called the Flying Bear Battle Flag, and when it was captured, it had been damaged in a large area, and it was a broken artifact.
After Shang Ji returned to Xiangping, he immediately gathered a large number of high-ranking talents, spent a lot of resources, and finally succeeded in repairing it, and changed it to the Battle Dragon King Banner, which was awarded to the Praetorian Guard Legion.
Other legions also awarded different battle flags according to the situation of the legion, such as the first battle legion under Liu Yi's name awarded the night owl battle flag, the second battle legion under Zhao Yun's name awarded the flying dragon battle flag, and the third battle legion under Liu Meng's name awarded the wolf battle flag.
Therefore, according to the unwritten rules, the first, second, and third battle legions can be called the Night Stalker Legion, the Silver Flying Legion, and the Wolf Legion respectively.
More than 30 military flags cost more than 50 million gold, and the price far exceeded the ordinary heaven-level equipment, so the business was rich and rich, and the poor had money left, and the other princes would never dare to be so extravagant.
It took two hours for Shang Ji to complete the process of awarding flags to more than 30 legions.
For the residents of Xiangping and the vast majority of the delegates who attended the ceremony, the flag-awarding ceremony made people's blood boil, and the pride in their hearts was overflowing.
But for a small group of people, the flag presentation ceremony is a real torture!
This part includes but is not limited to the leaders of the grassland tribes who have ghosts in their hearts, the remnants of Chenzhou who are unwilling to die in the country, and the spy chess pieces planted by other forces.
Among them, the most obvious senses are the Guiyi Captain - Yi Sunsin!
As the top historical military general in Chenzhou, after Shang Ji conquered Lee's Joseon, Yi Sunsin was sent to Xiangping for retirement. During this period, he behaved very decadently, borrowing alcohol all day to kill his sorrows, nostalgic for fireworks places, and striding in the direction of waste.
However, alcohol and beauty can't paralyze the pain of losing the country, and he doesn't want to return to the country all the time!
However, as Shang Ji's rule over Chenzhou became more and more stable, Li Sunsin's hope of recovering the country became more and more dim, until today, after witnessing the flag awarding ceremony of the Shang Ji army, his dream of recovering the country was completely shattered!
As a top historical general, Yi Sunsin's eyesight is far beyond the comparison of ordinary citizens who watch the excitement, and it is precisely because of this that Yi Sunsin will be even more desperate.
Except for the eight county military supervision areas, the remaining more than 20 flag-awarding units, with a total of more than 600,000 troops, have not a single combat strength lower than the seventh-order, and it can even be said that among the soldiers and soldiers who participated in the flag-awarding, the seventh-order soldiers have all become a minority, and the highest proportion is actually the eighth-order army.
This made Yi Sunsin tremble and even despair from the bottom of his heart, and there was no need for anyone else, and the more than 600,000 troops who participated in the flag presentation alone could sweep through the Lee dynasty at its peak.
There are many similar thoughts to Yi Sunsin, such as the eyeliner of other princes lurking in Xiangping.
Of course, there are exceptions to this, such as the high-collared man of Guiyi Hou.
The high-necked man was the royal family of Goguryeo at the beginning, and he was also the last king of Goguryeo, and his predecessor three kings were all killed in a short period of time.
Shang Ji saw that the high-collared man was so knowledgeable, so he went to the imperial court, canonized the high-collared man as the Marquis of Guiyi, gave him land and houses, and a large number of gold and silver rewards.
Later, Gao Lingnan used his special influence to actively participate in the large-scale development of Goguryeo in Pingzhou, especially in the two major industries of minerals and medicinal materials in the three counties of Goguryeo, and did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money.
Because of his unique vision, coupled with the rapid development of Pingzhou, there are now six large-scale mines, 17 large-scale medicinal herb picking teams, four large-scale medicinal herb processing workshops, and businesses all over the three counties of Goguryeo.
Now if there is a Goguryeo shouting the slogan of recovering Goguryeo to do things, there is no need for Shang Ji to do it, and the high-collared man will chop him as soon as possible!
Seeing the strong military might of the Shang army, the high-collared man only had pride and pride in his heart, and he had long forgotten what Goguryeo was.
