Mi Han

Chapter 365 The Omen of Great Change in Nanzheng Yaowu
The first thing Mi Yang has to do is a military parade.

A military parade is a ceremony in which the country reviews its armed forces.

The military parade has a long history for the Chinese nation.

"Zuo Zhuan" has a saying: "The major events of the country are sacrifices and military affairs." "

It is said that as early as the Xia Dynasty in China, there have been ceremonies similar to military parades.

But at that time it had a more specific name:
"Watching soldiers to prestige princes".

The most famous military parade in China's pre-Qin period was the "Mengjin Pledge" of King Wu of Zhou.

In addition to the "Mengjin Pledge", there are also many military parade ceremonies, such as "The Alliance of Practicing the Land", "Huangchi Yaowu" and so on.

Although the organizers of those military parades were of different scales.

But there is no doubt that those military parades brought great prestige to the organizers and established their great cause.

However, although the military parade ceremony appeared very early, the prevalence of the military parade ceremony was in the Han Dynasty.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, because the Huns in the north often made troubles, the rulers of all dynasties attached great importance to military affairs.

Under such circumstances, military parades that can promote military might and boost morale are often held.

After the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, although Liu Xiu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, did not want the local armed forces to be too strong, he did not abolish this ceremony hastily.

Up to the present period, due to the turbulent times of constant military affairs, the activities of the military parade are even more valued by the rulers of the three families.

Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, the three current overlords, all personally commanded the military parade.

There are no more than three reasons for the military parade: swearing in, domination, and demonstrations.

Taking Liangzhou's specific situation as an example, Mi Yang's sudden desire to hold a military parade must be for the last purpose—demonstration.

Liangzhou is the northern border of the Han Dynasty, and Mi Yang thought that the demonstration must be for the Cao Wei generals in Guanzhong to see.

Just because he guessed Mi Yang's intention, when Mi Yang revealed this idea in a parliament half a month ago, his idea received strong support from all the state officials.

No matter what they think of Mi Yang secretly, they are all ministers of Liangzhou now.

For them, through a grand military parade, they can demonstrate the majestic military might of their own country and deter the powerful enemies in the north.

Such an exciting thing, they would have no reason to refuse.

With the strong support of all the ministers, the preliminary preparations for the military parade went smoothly.

On the [-]th day of August in the second year of Zhang Wu, it was the day when the Liangzhou military parade was held.

And this day is not only the day when the military parade is held, but also the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the four traditional festivals of the Chinese nation.

There are different opinions about the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but what is certain is that the Mid-Autumn Festival has become one of the important traditional festivals of the Han people in the Han Dynasty.

It's just that in the Han Dynasty, the date of the Mid-Autumn Festival had not been uniformly determined, and each place had its own Mid-Autumn Festival at different times.

Of course, Mi Yang, who came from later generations, ordered to determine the specific time of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Liangzhou shortly after he became the shepherd of Liangzhou.

Regardless of whether it is August [-] or August [-] in other places, in Liangzhou, August [-] will be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

And because the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival is closely related to the season of agricultural harvest, when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, people's mood will also become very good.

Early this morning, Mi Yang got up to freshen up under Guan Yan's service.

Since today is a very important day for Mi Yang, under the service of Guan Yan, Mi Yang changed into a dress and hat that would only be worn at grand ceremonies.

Dresses and hats in ancient times were very cumbersome to wear, but today Mi Yang is rarely patient enough to let Guan Yan play with her.

Mi Yang didn't know how long Guan Yan had been playing with it, but he only knew that his legs were almost numb.

Finally, just as the sky was completely bright, Guan Yan finally got everything dressed for Mi Yang.

After putting on the gorgeous dress and hat, Mi Yang looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

It has to be said that even though the current dresses and hats are very troublesome to wear, there are naturally reasons for their existence to be loved by nobles.

Mi Yang was already tall and tall, but when he put on a gorgeous dress and hat, he looked even more dignified and awe-inspiring, without being angry or majestic.

After putting on the dress and hat, Guan Yan finally hung a beautifully decorated long sword on Mi Yang's waist.

After completing this action, Guan Yan raised her head to look at Mi Yang in front of her, and said in a worried tone:
"Can today's matter be accomplished?"

After hearing Guan Yan's worry, Mi Yang, the protagonist who is going to do big things, doesn't seem worried at all.

He stretched out his hand and pinched Guan Yan's Qiong's nose, and said with a smile: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you shouldn't be troubled."

Seeing that Mi Yang didn't directly answer her question, Guan Yan was a little unhappy.

She was caring about him, but he was playing sloppy with her.

It's just that even though she was a little unhappy, Guan Yan still wished: "I hope my husband will come back victorious."

If others heard Guan Yan's words, they would think that Mi Yang was going to fight today.

But in the world, how can there be a general who wears a grand uniform to fight?

Unless Mi Yang wants to fight a war without gunpowder.

Mi Yang smiled even more after hearing Guan Yan's wish.

"Wait until I come back victorious."

Mi Yang's words were full of confidence.

After saying these words, Mi Yang came to the main hall outside with one hand on the long sword at his waist.

When Mi Yang arrived in the main hall, he found that Liangzhou officials, regardless of whether they were in the state capital or not, had already gathered in the main hall.

It looked like there were at least a hundred people.

Mi Yang knew that there were still many officials who were not qualified to enter the hall to congratulate him, so he could only wait outside the hall.

There are undoubtedly many officials gathered inside and outside the hall today, because today is both the Mid-Autumn Festival and the day when Mi Yang holds a grand military parade.

Such a day of double happiness and special significance, not to mention in Liangzhou, is rare in the whole Han Dynasty.

It's no wonder that all the officials value it so much.

Even the Wu brothers, who had been staying behind closed doors before, came to the hall today.

Of course, there are so many Liangzhou officials gathered inside and outside the main hall today, and it is also because Mi Yang ordered to invite all the officials in Liangzhou to come to Nanzheng to enjoy the event in the past half a month.

Although Liangzhou is not big, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. When all the officials of the whole state are called, there are still hundreds of officials.

When Mi Yang with a luxurious temperament appeared in the hall, hundreds of officials in the hall all looked at him.

When Mi Yang walked to his main seat step by step, all civil and military officials in the hall, led by Fa Miao and Wu Yi respectively, bowed to Mi Yang in unison:

"Mid-Autumn Festival, I will congratulate Uncle Mu!"

Hundreds of uniform congratulatory voices resounded through the entire hall in an instant, crowding the empty hall to the brim.

Coupled with the special structure in the hall, the sound of congratulations echoed continuously in the hall.

Not only that, when the sound of congratulations came out of the main hall, hundreds of officials outside the main hall also began to congratulate Liang Zhoumu outside the hall under the auspices of the ceremony officer.

When the hundreds of celebrations in the hall collided with the hundreds of celebrations outside the hall, it seemed that a symphony was played that would make any man extremely intoxicated.

Because this symphony represents that Mi Yang has supreme power in Liangzhou.

It's just that when Mi Yang heard the symphony, his expression was very calm.

Although this represented his supreme power in Liangzhou, in comparison, he still preferred to hear the congratulations from tens of thousands of troops.

Because those tens of thousands of congratulatory voices were definitely more exciting and sincere than the hundreds he had heard so far.

After the waves of congratulations finally stopped, Mi Yang looked at the hundreds of officials standing in front of him, and said word by word:

"All of you should follow me to the outside of the city to see the power of our army!"

After saying this, Mi Yang walked towards the outside of the hall first.

When Mi Yang walked towards the outside of the hall, the wall of hundreds of people standing a few steps in front of him immediately parted automatically, revealing a passage for Mi Yang to pass through.

And when Mi Yang passed through that passage, the civil and military officials of Liangzhou behind him turned into two streams under the leadership of Fa Miao and Wu Yi, and followed the source of Mi Yang towards the main hall. go outside.

When Mi Yang stepped out of the State Shepherd's Mansion and got into the car, the two streams of people that were originally like streams gradually grew stronger after each gathered hundreds of officials.

There was a sound of the rider's horse riding, and Mi Yang's guard of honor immediately moved out of the city.

In front of the team, there are more than a hundred fine riders clearing the way.

On both sides of the team, there are many soldiers guarding from the side.

As for the end of the line, hundreds of officials followed.

When the mighty state pastor guard of honor of thousands of people was driving on the wide street, it immediately aroused the exclamation of the people in the houses on both sides of the street.

Is this the trip of Fang Mubo?
Even when Zhang Shijun was in power back then, his travels were nothing more than that.

See you soon.

And when the exclamation of the people on both sides of the street reached the ears of the hundreds of officials, most of the officials' faces were filled with the joy of celebrating the event.

Only Mi Yang's confidant ministers had some different emotions in their hearts.

Especially Deng Ai among them.

As one of the three nobles in Liangzhou, Deng Ai has a very high position among hundreds of officials.

So many people didn't notice that now there was a hint of tension on Deng Ai's face.

He reached into his arms and held a document tightly.

When he thought that he would publish the contents of the document in front of tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of officials, he would inevitably feel nervous in his heart.

Just thinking of Mi Yang's regard for him all the time, Deng Ai's heart became firm.

Mi Yang not only trusts him very much, but also relies on him as his heart.

When he recommended Shi Bao to Mi Yang before, Mi Yang also thanked himself with a smile and surprise for recommending a great talent for him.

In fact, Deng Ai knew in his heart that Shi Bao hadn't revealed any obvious deeds to the world, so how could he deserve the title of Mi Yang's great talent?

The reason why Mi Yang commented on Shi Bao in this way was simply because of his love for him.

For such a lord, why does Deng Ai have any hesitation?

A scholar dies for a confidant.

After figuring this out, Deng Ai looked forward with a firm face.

What Deng Ai didn't know was that just as he was thinking about things, Wu Yi who was not far in front of him was also fighting with heaven and man in his heart.

Last night, Mi Yang specially summoned him to the State Shepherd's Mansion.

When he met Mi Yang, Wu Yi originally thought that Mi Yang was trying to test his intention of staying behind closed doors during this period of time.

But what he didn't expect was that Mi Yang didn't pay attention to this after meeting him.

Mi Yang just asked him: "The sage said that you can't have both fish and bear's paws. What is more precious than fish and bear's paws is the righteousness of scholars.

Has Wu Jun ever forgotten what is the righteousness of a scholar? "

When Mi Yang suddenly asked him this question last night, Wu Yi was momentarily stunned and unable to answer.

Seeing that Wu Yi couldn't answer, Mi Yang didn't blame him, he just asked Wu Yi to go back and think about this issue.

But since Wu Yi came back last night, he still didn't understand the deep meaning of Mi Yang's question.

However, from Mi Yang's inquiry, Wu Yi was keenly aware that today's military parade was definitely not easy.

Just what could it be?

Now that Mi Yang is in power, he can rest easy in Liangzhou in the future. What is there for him to be dissatisfied with? What else can he do?

This question has been confusing Wu Yi since last night.

Because of the confusion in his heart, Wu Yi had already followed the large army to the outside of the city before he knew it.

The place where the military parade was held was just one mile outside Nanzheng City.

After all, there were hundreds of officials who participated in the ceremony with Mi Yang today, and so many people couldn't let them walk all the way to the camp several miles away.

When they arrived at the place where the military parade was held, a high platform several feet above the ground that could accommodate hundreds of people appeared in everyone's eyes.

This high platform was built by Cao Cao to review troops after he captured Hanzhong.

Later, after Hanzhong fell into the hands of Liu Bei, he did not order anyone to dismantle the high platform.

Perhaps in Liu Bei's heart, continuing to keep this high platform is the best sign of his victory over Cao Cao.

Now with the change of time, the owner of this high platform has become Mu Miyang of Liangzhou.

Before Mi Yang's team of thousands of people arrived, the [-] Hanzhong army, led by generals and schools at all levels, was waiting quietly in the vast open space below the high platform.

There were nearly [-] soldiers in Liangzhou in total.

However, with Mi Yang weeding out the old and the weak, only [-] of the nearly [-] troops remained.

Liangzhou's army was originally a veteran soldier, and now after a large-scale elimination, the remaining [-] sergeants are a rare and powerful army in this world.

Of course, the most important thing is that after nearly half a year of continuous efforts, most of the mid-level and low-level generals of the [-] army are now Mi Yang's direct descendants.

This is what Mi Yang wants most.

It was after this was done that Mi Yang decided to hold a military parade.

It is precisely because of this that when Mi Yang's chariot appeared in front of the [-] troops, the eyes of the [-] Han troops, led by their respective generals, all looked at Mi Yang's chariot.

Under the scorching sun, [-] firm eyes were filled with admiration and fanaticism.
