Chapter 808: Long Live Shanhu Soldiers Enter the City
When the flag bearers and infantry of the Huwei Army entered the city, several people who had seen the army were laughing at them, saying that those who were arranged in such a military parade would show the majesty of their own soldiers to everyone. It was like the people who bought fruits and vegetables on the street would place the most seasonal and glamorous fruits outside for people to see.
Among the army, the most brave and well-equipped were the chief general and his personal soldiers. Not only were these men well equipped, but most of them were riding horses.
Therefore, in such occasions that show military power, the commander led the cavalry to the forefront, and the infantry queue is often at the end, and it is as streamlined as possible to select the most decent people in the team. The rest are not allowed to participate. Moreover, the flag bearer often rides on the horse with a big flag, which looks tall and majestic.
The Huwei Army broke this routine as soon as it appeared. The flag bearer was walking, and the first one appeared was the infantry. Everyone was surprised and prepared to watch jokes.
Everyone has seen what the infantry of the officers and soldiers look like. The battle jackets they wear are all ragged, and it is already neat to be able to apply a patch on them. Most people have a good face, and it seems that they are never full. This is the worst character on the street.
Not to mention soldiers from other places, there are only imperial guards in the capital. Many of the soldiers in the Beijing camp are like this, so what can they look good about?
While waiting to see the joke, everyone was a little disappointed. They got up early to take up their seats. They thought that the imperial guards, Jizhen army, and Datong army would work together to destroy the Altan army on the grassland. Most of the Tartars must be cavalry. If they want such a great victory, they must rely on cavalry.
It is also a beautiful thing to look at the scene of people and horses like dragons. Who would have thought that it would be a infantryman when it appeared? This made people really breathe a sigh of relief.
However, when everyone saw the spear and infantry covered in armor, they were full of energy. They only saw such armor on the generals who rode horses on horseback, but they didn't expect that they could see it on the infantry, which was interesting.
Some people even wondered if the infantrymen who were walking in the front row of the imperial guards had all got armored. Perhaps these armored soldiers were some personal soldiers, but they would not be able to do so afterwards.
The streets became quieter and quieter, and only the rhythm of the treading drums and the sound of stepping on the ground were heard. Rows of infantry wearing plate armor walked into the city.
Although the street is spacious, the standard horizontal and column formations of the Tiger Wei army's spearmen cannot be expanded, so the queue becomes very long. The first row is armored and strong. Each soldier is full of energy and strong body, looking forward with a firm expression and moving forward neatly.
The first row is like this, the second row is like this, and the third row is also so noisy and discussion is suppressed little by little, and finally becomes silent. Everyone is watching the marching tiger army with all their attention. Everyone is sighing, everyone is talking about how there are such soldiers in the world.
Many people squinted their eyes and closed them from time to time, because the blackened armor was fine, but the spears flashed from time to time. The soldiers were not showing their military power. They were full of confidence. They had proved their achievements. They didn't need to do anything specifically. They were just marching now.
After the spearmen were finished, the next one was the musket soldiers. The musket soldiers resisted the muskets on their shoulders. They were covered with leather armor inlaid with armor leaves, and gunpowder bags and lead ball bags hung on their bodies. Although they were not as powerful as the spearmen in front, the musket soldiers were all selected by elite veterans in the Tiger Power Army, and the calmness and integrity showed their differences.
When the musket soldiers walked by, they were three cannons dragged by horses. There were three soldiers sitting on the cannon carriage, and cavalry were also driven by the horses dragged by the cannons. Each of them was extremely serious. The cannon itself was a kind of shock, which made people feel even more amazing.
The spearmen, muskets, and artillery passed by one after another, but this was the sequence of the first regiment, and the second regiment was next, which re-expressed the scene just now.
Next is the cavalry. After seeing the infantry in front, the cavalry was not so shocked at this time. They only saw the cavalry wearing armor and the horses were covered with leather armor, moving neatly, as if they were monsters. The people watching the fun on the street and the wealthy families watching the fun on the high platform upstairs couldn't help but hold their breath.
After the Huwei Army was finished, then the 6,000 soldiers from Jizhen soldiers entered the city. These soldiers and horses were naturally selected according to the previous rules, mainly cavalry, and infantry were decent and strong.
Jizhen is different from other places. Generally, infantry training is enough. If such soldiers walk on the streets, if they were in the past, the knowledgeable people in the capital would give a thumbs up and praise them. However, the Huwei Army was ahead, and the mighty aura that had never been seen before has shocked everyone. Even if the one behind is outstanding, it is nothing.
As the Jizhen soldiers passed by, the roadside gradually became noisy again. When the cavalry from Datong entered the city, everyone thought it was normal, but that was it.
The righteous scholars in the crowd were rushing forward at first. After seeing the spear formation of the Huwei Army's spears into the city, their faces began to pale and their movements began to become stiff.
The soldiers of the Huwei Army who entered the city did not look around, but just looked ahead, but these scholars who wanted to make trouble couldn't help but retreat, no one dared to speak or go forward.
Not only them, but the people watching on both sides held their breath and focused. Some people came out to watch the fun. The children liked the fun. They were happy when the army passed by, and the atmosphere suddenly came quietly. The children were the most ignorant but also the most sensitive. The solemn aura filled with them, and they were immediately scared to tears.
However, as soon as he cried, his mouth was immediately covered by his elders, for fear of disturbing the army. The scholars who had already been trying to stop him couldn't help but tremble and stood there and didn't dare to move.
After the Huwei Army's formation passed, it was replaced by the soldiers from Jizhen. The atmosphere was a little relaxed. He shouted loudly, and said loudly:
"Kill the Tartars, good"
Some people started like this and the atmosphere was suddenly incited. Just now, the quiet was too depressing. Everyone shouted at the top of their voices that only such soldiers and horses could defeat the Tartars, and only such soldiers could destroy the Altan tribe, which had been harmed for nearly a hundred years. With such soldiers and horses, the Ming Dynasty was peaceful.
Originally, the streets where the Hu Wei army had walked were extremely quiet. Someone shouted here, and everyone suddenly realized that they were cheering. The quietness on the street was swept away at the beginning, and everyone was cheering. Even the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard who maintained order were cheering loudly with their weapons in their hands.
Such cheers and applause also show that the people are willing to go back and forth. A group of scholars in the crowd looked around with pale faces and murmured:
"Silent people, foolish people"
But they didn't dare to say loudly that their complaints and hatred were soon drowned in the shouts of the crowd.
"Your Majesty will have great victory only after you protect it." "All victory will come to Your Majesty"
While the crowd was roaring, some people in the marching Huwei Army blew a few bronze whistles, and the soldiers immediately began to shout in unison.
Compared to the people's shouts, the Huwei Army's union shouts were more regular and more energetic, and they suppressed the people's shouts. As soon as the people were quiet, they heard someone in front of the Huwei Army's formation squeezing:
"Why should we fight the Tartars?"
"For Your Majesty, For The Ming Dynasty"
One person asked, and everyone answered in unison. The people on both sides of the street were quiet for a moment, and even more enthusiastic cheers and cheers sounded. At this time, someone shouted:
"Long live my emperor"
The soldiers of the Huwei Army, Jizhen Army, and Datong Army shouted in unison. The people were suppressed by the union of shouts one after another, and then they shouted "Long live the emperor." The shouts began to be lively, but later they were sincere, and it was indeed worthy of shouting like this.
Thinking about destroying the Tartars and clearing out a major harm to the border areas, the Jinyiwei of the capital set up a police station to allow the people to live a safe life, and more and more money can make money, more and more materials are pouring in from all over the country, and prices are flat. Isn’t this because there is a wise monarch? Such an emperor of Wanli is worth living.
The voice of "Long live my emperor, long live my life" echoed in the capital, as if there were waves, the soldiers were shouting, and the people were shouting.
At the imperial guards' school grounds, the imperial prison had already set up a site and a high platform. Emperor Wanli sat in his seat in his body-bound military uniform, Wang Tong and the imperial guards' generals stood on the right, while the civil servants sat on the left.
To be fair, the atmosphere on this platform was not very good. Although Wang Tong didn't do anything next, Yan Qing was defeated in the court that day and punished the censors who spread rumors and slander. It was difficult for the civil officials to have any good impression of Wang Tong. Originally, today's victory was very joyful, but the civil officials looked at each other coldly, making the atmosphere very stiff.
Emperor Wanli felt quite awkward when he sat in his seat, but it was hard to say anything. He was parading at the imperial guards' academy. Some ministers said that it was against the ancestral system and spent money. Besides, they were entangled more, and they were just waiting there quietly. From time to time, fast horses reported the scene of the army entering the city to this side.
"Your Majesty, the streets are silent, and the people are all shocked by the military power."
Emperor Wanli smiled and nodded, turned to Wang Tong and said:
"The good soldiers you have trained are indeed tigers and wolves."
"Your Majesty, the people along the street are cheering and applauding."
Someone reported that, on the side of the civil officials, no one knew who whispered "I'm afraid it's not a blessing for the country." Emperor Wanli's face froze, but ignored it. At this time, he heard the sound of mountains and thunders coming from the south of the city. Everyone was shocked and didn't know what had been born, but then they understood and no one needed to report the details.
