Chapter 720 Prisoner Presentation Ceremony (4) The Military Parade Begins

Chapter 83 Prisoners Presentation Ceremony (4) The military parade begins

Seeing Li Jing as the shopkeeper, everything fell on her head, but she couldn't avoid it. In desperation, Li Zhen had no choice but to take over the job and began to seriously prepare for the military parade.

In terms of real talent and learning, although Li Zhen is not as good as Li Jing, he has commanded several battles anyway, and he has won every game. He can be regarded as a victorious general, and it is no problem to command tens of thousands of troops.

Besides, although those old foxes are a bit cloudy, their concerns are also right. After all, military parades have never happened before in history. Hey, if we work out a specific process, I'm afraid it won't work in three to five months—the day lily will be cold in these three to five months.

Li Zhen was different. He came from later generations after all. Although he didn't quite understand the specific process of the military parade, he had never eaten pork, hadn't he seen a pig running?

When he was in the later generations, he often watched military parades on TV. He remembered some specific items very clearly, and it was not difficult to deduce them in reverse. Unimaginable, after all, creation is always more difficult than copying.

Li Zhen has this kind of memory, and it is impossible for Li Jing to compare with it.

Li Jing was also indifferent to this, but kept boasting that Li Zhen had a delicate mind and was good at grasping people's hearts.

For Li Jing's compliment, Li Zhen smiled on the face, but couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart——Old fox, just pray, and don't fall into Bengong's hands in the future.

Although Li Zhen is full of confidence in commanding the military parade, there are still many problems to be solved urgently.

For example, the specific number of people in the military parade. For this military parade, the Tang Dynasty prepared a full 10 elites to join (it seemed to be a small number before, correct it here, 30 people, except for a few thousand people from the Boys Army, the rest All of them were drawn from the meritorious army), this is what Li Zhen meant.Originally, the imperial court planned to transfer 30 people, but Li Zhen thought that 30 people would be too much work, and based on the process of the military parade, the last project, the army was to walk around Chang'an City, but let the [-] troops surround Chang'an and turn around. It will be dark all day long, so how should the ceremony proceed?

What's more, the military parade only needs to show the power of the Tang army, and it doesn't matter how many people there are. Therefore, Li Zhen directly cut off 20 people, and only 10 people are left. That's all, after Li Zhen's compromise As a result, Li Zhen originally meant that 5 people is more than enough, and 10 people is still a bit too much. After all, the more people there are, the more troublesome it is to train. Compared with the difficulty of training 5 people and 10 people It's not as simple as multiplying by two.

But the imperial court disagreed, and in the end Li Zhen had no choice but to give up. At the same time, he sent out the youth army in his hands as an instructor for 10 people to help them do some basic training.

Of course, ancient military parades are definitely different from modern military parades. Modern military parades mainly showcase technology, guns, aircraft, tanks, and nuclear weapons. As for the neat military appearance, which country can’t do it?As long as they go through rigorous training, even recruits who have never been on the battlefield can put up an excellent lineup, there is no doubt about it.

It is different in ancient times, ancient science and technology are backward, although the armor and sharp weapons of Tang Dynasty are better than those of other ethnic groups, but these alone are not enough to cause shock, because cold weapons are not the key to victory or defeat, in ancient times, equipment was not the most important , what is more important is the strategy and morale, the important thing is the people, the strength of the soldiers, but these two points, unless they are facing each other on the battlefield, otherwise it is difficult to show others through any kind of operation-as for the artillery, This is still a secret of the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible to show it in the military parade. Even if it is shown, it is impossible to fire the cannon during the military parade. Even if it is pulled out, what is the use?

Fortunately, after all, Li Zhen came from the era of the information explosion, nothing else, but his knowledge is far beyond that of the ancients. In other words, he has a lot of ghost ideas.

Finally, let him find a way - we can't use technology to frighten the world, so let's crush you from the momentum.

Closer to home.

Except for the area where the treasure was still guarded, the rest of the square was still quiet again.

A quarter of an hour later, the military parade destined to be recorded in history kicked off.

On this day, 15 strong troops of the Tang Dynasty will enter the city from Mingdemen, the south gate of Chang'an, along Zhuque Street, to the Zhuquemen of the imperial city, to accept the inspection of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and then leave Chang'an from Jinguangmen to the west. Around Chang'an, in addition to deterring the envoys of various countries, the people of the Tang Dynasty should also be able to see the grandeur of our Tang army, far surpassing any dynasty in prehistoric times.

Xianbao was just an appetizer, and it was over from the beginning of Mao in the morning to the end of Chen. When the military parade started, it was only the beginning of Si at this time. The sun had just risen, which was the best time of the day.

This Suzaku gate is located in the center of the entire imperial city (it is the imperial city, not the palace city), and it is also the south gate of the Tang imperial city. It is named because the Suzaku in the four images represents the south, and it is in a straight line with the Xuanwu gate, the north gate of the palace city.Under the Suzaku Gate is Suzaku Street, the central axis of Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty.During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the emperor often held celebrations here.

In the third year of Zhenguan (629), after Xuanzang came back in order to obtain the scriptures, the welcoming ceremony was held at the main gate of the Tang Imperial City, Suzaku Gate.

Zhuque Gate has five gates in total, which is the highest level of gates in the ancient capital city. Together with Danfeng Gate and Mingde Gate, which also have five gates, it constitutes the imperial city of Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the palace city of Daming Palace, and the main gate of Chang'an City.

In the middle of Zhuque Gate and Zhuque Street, there is a huge square, that is, Zhuque Square. This square was built in the tenth year of Zhenguan, and it was built by Li Shimin himself. , but under the timely response of the court, it was effectively controlled.As the Tang Dynasty became stronger and stronger, Li Shimin also liked to have fun with the people, so he built a square here, enough for 10,000+ people to revel at the same time (in addition, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was also a Chengtian Gate dedicated to There is also a square in front of Chengtianmen for the celebration, but Chengtianmen is defined as a place where envoys are welcomed and important ceremonies are held. Chengtianmen is between the imperial city and the palace city, and ordinary people can't get in at all. This is why Chengtianmen was not chosen for the prisoner offering ceremony. No common people saw the prisoner offering ceremony. loses half of its meaning).

Chapter 721 The Prisoner Presentation Ceremony (5) is the head start

Chapter 84 Prisoner Presentation Ceremony (5) is the head start

The entire Suzaku Square is built with cement and paved with exquisite marble. The overall appearance is magnificent, neat and symmetrical, integrated and majestic.

Li Shimin stood on the tower, looking at the Zhuque Square in front of him, his eyes were full of pride - this is his Tang Dynasty, this is his country, this is his people, this is his world.

Li Shimin was in high spirits, except for the concubines and courtiers standing around him, the rest were all foreign envoys from various countries. Facing this situation, they all had other ideas.

They have already seen the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is only rumored. Although in the propaganda of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty wiped out dozens of countries, their respective countries have also confirmed this matter. But people have this kind of mentality, that is, seeing is believing, and if they have not witnessed things with their own eyes, no matter how true others say, they will not believe it.

But now the opportunity has come, Datang is going to prepare for a big military parade, this happens to be an opportunity to observe Datang's strength - as an envoy, as a representative of a country, can be sent by his own monarch to spy on Datang's secrets, these Naturally, people are not easy people, and they all understand the purpose of this grand military parade.

But faced with this situation, they were all quite surprised. The silence was like the calm before the storm, which made them quite uneasy.

The reason is simple, they didn't get any news in advance-you must know that in general, such a large-scale demonstration must go through a long period of preparation, at least a large-scale troop transfer is a big move, not to mention these The army was still mobilized from the frontier, and the movement was even more shocking. With their means, it was impossible not to notice it.

But Datang did not, and Datang actually managed to hide from their prying eyes by means of ignorance. Except for the young army who had been stationed in Chang'an City, these troops brought back from the frontier seemed to come from the sky. The ones who fell down suddenly appeared outside Chang'an City, not to mention them, even those forces that infiltrated the Tang Dynasty were in a state of confusion-this can't help but make people feel uneasy, because This shows that Datang is a kind of self-confidence. No one has noticed such a large-scale military mobilization. If this time it is not a military parade, but Datang is planning to attack somewhere... Tsk tsk, I am terrified when I think about it.

This is an army of [-]. If Datang uses this method to fight against others, it is estimated that Datang's army has reached the border, and the countries that were attacked have not reacted yet-how can this battle be fought?

If the target is some small countries, it is estimated that by the time they react, the Tang Dynasty may have already arrived at their capital.

If they understand Han culture, then they should understand that this tactic is called "secret storage of Chen Cang". Not only in history, even Datang did use this tactic.

Just this year when Li Shimin conquered Goguryeo, he used the method of secretly hiding Chen Cang, and moved most of his troops to the front line of Yingzhou in secret. It is really necessary to hit Pyongyang before Goguryeo can react.

Even so, after Goguryeo reacted, Datang had already taken down several border cities such as Anshicheng in Goguryeo.

Faced with Datang's almost heaven-defying ability, the alien envoys from all over the world became terrified, and their vigilance against Datang was raised to the highest level.

At the same time, he also secretly made up his mind that he must warn his king not to provoke Datang lightly after returning home.

Otherwise, if Datang is really angered, then everything will be over.

Li Shimin attached great importance to this military parade.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he asked Li Jing beside him, "Pharmacist, it's almost time, I don't know when the soldiers will arrive?"

Li Jing was also like Li Shimin, with a serious face, looked up at the sky, estimated the time, and said in a deep voice: "It should be soon."

It didn't take long for him to speak...

just hear...

"Dong dong dong..."

Similar to the sound of drumming, from far to near, once and for all, it is shocking, and it has the momentum of changing the color of the situation.

At first, everyone thought it was the sound of drums, but when the sound got closer, everyone turned pale in shock—this is definitely not the sound of drums, the sound of drums is not so crisp.

This is the sound of footsteps, and only the sound of footsteps is so crisp.

The uniform footsteps condensed by a hundred thousand elites are like drumming... no, it is even more shocking than drumming.

Before the soldiers and horses arrived, Li Zhen gave everyone a disarm with just the sound of footsteps, which was breathtaking.

Li Jing said in a low voice: "This is called taking the lead!"

Li Shimin exclaimed in a low voice: "What a head start."

His expression was extremely satisfied, Nian Xu smiled and said: "But what did Zhen Er come up with?"

Li Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I didn't interfere too much with the training of the military parade, and I don't know, but only His Highness can gather this kind of formation... and only His Highness can think of such a situation." Trick."
