On the tenth day of the 12th year of the Apocalypse, the Apocalypse City on this day was sunny and cleared thousands of miles away.

In the Hall of Political Affairs, the tables and chairs used for political affairs have been cleared out. Civil and military officials were dressed in new style court uniforms, standing neatly and solemnly on both sides, standing opposite each other.

At exactly 8 o'clock in the morning, with three thick bells coming from the bell tower, Liu Ji stood in front of the hall and shouted: "The auspicious time has come, I respectfully invite the monarch!"

"Please respectfully!" The ministers bent down to the top of the main hall and shouted in unison.

As soon as the ministers finished speaking, Yang Song was wearing a black background, red edge, gold-patterned dress, and a flat top twelve bead curtain crown. He slowly walked out from behind the wall, stood in the middle of the stage, facing the ministers, raised his hands and said seriously: "You are not a gift!"

The ministers shouted again: "Thank you, Master!" The queen stood up and stood up and waited for Yang Song's instructions.

"I inherited the will of heaven and opened up a city to protect the people. I worked diligently and did not dare to slack off. From now on, there are tens of millions of people, and the grain is full of grain... I hope all the officials and I will encourage each other to continue to create a prosperous era!"

"I obey the order! The lord is wise!"

After Yang Song finished speaking, Liu Ji shouted loudly in front of the hall: "The ministers are giving me advice!"

"Report to the lord! I have advice!" Xun Yu followed the procedure and walked to the middle of the hall first and bowed to Yang Song.

"Accurate!" Yang Song raised his right hand lightly.

Xun Yu said, "The merits of the king are visible to the people of the world. I ask the king to ascend the throne to the throne and be the example of the world!"

"I'm going to discuss it!" As soon as Xun Yu's voice fell, the ministers turned around and bent down to salute Yang Song.

After refusing twice, Yang Song said: "Since this is the intention of the subjects of the world, I will ascend the throne!"

This scene is all procedure. It was agreed at the court meeting on September 10th. After a month of preparation, today is Yang Song's ascension ceremony!

"The monarch ascends the throne! The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven begins!" Liu Ji loyally said to a singer: "The monarch rises to the Temple of Heaven~!"

Following Liu Ji's voice, Yang Song walked out of the Political Affairs Hall first, and the ministers behind him followed one by one.

There was no figure in front of the Political Affairs Hall, north and south main streets, and there were only gorgeously dressed Jinyiwei guards on both sides of the street.

Yang Song climbed his exclusive imperial carriage in front of the hall, pulled by eight pure white war horses. With Wang Wei's "Driving", the carriage slowly headed towards the altar outside the southern city. Many ministers followed behind him on foot, and then there was a large group of Jinyiwei, holding flags.

Outside the wall of people composed of Jinyiwei, all kinds of people were also wearing gorgeous new clothes, solemnly watching the ceremony, witnessing the entire process of Yang Song becoming king.

At 8:50 in the morning, Yang Song moved outside the Temple of Heaven and stood in front of the altar stairs. At this time, the altar had been renovated and surrounded by a wall and a large open space, and a supporting building was built in the corner.

At about nine o'clock, a sound came from the city, and Liu Ji shouted: "The auspicious time is coming, and the ceremony of ascension to the throne will begin!"

Yang Song then climbed to the altar and held a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven with him. After reading the congratulations to sacrifice to heaven written by Zhu Xi, Yang Song stood on the altar and faced the many subjects under the altar, raised his hands and shouted: "I ascended the throne, and I will announce it to the world!"

The subjects worshiped in unison: "I will meet the king!"

After that, there were endless cheers, fireworks and firecrackers bloomed, and the sound of salutes continued...

Yang Song took the imperial carriage again and returned to the Anzheng Hall on the same road. Wherever he passed along the way, the people cheered together, and flowers and ribbons flew in the air, showing a celebratory look of the whole sky.

When Yang Song stood in front of the gate of the Political Affairs Hall again, he looked at the subjects below and whispered: "I will ascend the throne today, and everyone will celebrate together."

After saying that, he ordered Liu Ji, "Let's start!"

"Yes, king!" Liu Ji said after receiving the order, he loudly proclaimed: "The king has an order, and the military parade begins!"

"I accept the order!" Li Jing stood up and bowed to Yang Song, then turned around and walked aside, picked up the flag and pointed at the sky, and ordered: "The king has an order, start the military parade!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong~" the sound of war drums rang out, and the scene became quiet again at some point.

The army, which had been lined up to the east of East and West Avenue for a long time, began to move. They walked over with neat steps and powerful force.

The first square formation was the flag guarding square formation, which was composed of Jinyiwei equipped with swords. There was only one brigade of three hundred people, and it was arranged into the twelve rows.

In front of the flag guarding phalanx, there were two Jinyi Guards guarding a flag bearer in the middle. The flag in the flag bearer's hand was the national flag of Xia Kingdom - the red-bottom golden dragon auspicious cloud flag!

When the Jinyiwei walked to the front of the hall, after Li Jing shouted a "salute", he drew his sword and unsheathed it, stood in front of him, and looked at the position of Yang Song on the steps.

The moment when the sword was neatly unsheathed, a "choke" sound was heard, and the shining sword lights flashed, making the people present staring at them unable to help but squint their eyes.

The sharp blade filled the cold light, which made Yang Song nod slightly. He carried his left hand behind and stretched out his right hand to gently wave the square formation below.

Next was the square formation of the Shenji Camp, its shiny breastplate, its tightly held musket, and walked over in a straight stance with Xiangtong. When passing by the hall, the gun was erected and a "wow" sound was full of power.

There was no commentary, only Li Jing stood on the platform holding the flag and making loud orders. Only the military formation was accompanied by the neat steps of the war drums, and the rhythm seemed to be stepping on people's heartbeats, which made people fascinated.

The second sequence of Shenji Camp was arranged because muskets represent the future development direction, and when the last expedition was launched, Shenji Camp was also the first army to set foot on the enemy's land.

After the Shenji Camp, there was the square formation of the Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards had a total of seven square formations, each with three hundred people.

First, the heavy phalanx is composed of heavy infantry and heavy shield soldiers, with heavy infantry in front and heavy shield soldiers behind. Then there is the melee phalanx, composed of sword and shield soldiers and spearmen, with sword and shield soldiers in front and spearmen behind.

Next is the far-off attack phalanx, composed of strong crossbow soldiers, company crossbow soldiers, and archers; heavy cavalry phalanx, light cavalry phalanx, field artillery phalanx, and siege artillery phalanx.

The Imperial Guards' arms represent the mainstream of the Xia army. The phalanx took turns to the stage, making the people watching excitedly, one after another, making people dizzy.

The regular brigade was on the back, and there were seven square formations, and the appearance sequence was no different from that of the Imperial Guards.

However, when it was the turn of the Cavalry Brigade to come on the field, there were only five square formations. After all, the Cavalry Brigade only had two types of troops: light cavalry and heavy cavalry, so it was necessary to send a square formation for each battalion of the Cavalry Brigade to mix it with two types of cavalry.

When the five cavalry phalanxes of the Cavalry Brigade roared past, there was a militia phalanx, a conscript brigade that did not go out to fight and a city guard in charge of guarding. Each of these two armies symbolically sent a phalanx.

The last one to appear were three square arrays sent by the Navy, one was a square array of sailors equipped with muskets and two square arrays of naval guns.

There are a total of forty-one square arrays. After passing by one by one, the time is approaching noon.

Finally, when all the square arrays were finished and re-arranged, Liu Ji picked up a scroll and spread it out, and read aloud beside Yang Song.

From the first 300 soldiers to the current 40,000 troops; from resisting the southern barbarians to the past crusade (plunder) wars, we have carefully counted the development history and war history of the Xia army.

In addition to reflecting the development history of the Xia Kingdom for the officials and the people, this also puts a complete end to the plunder war that just passed.
Chapter completed!
