King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 264
When Zhu Jinghong introduced in detail, the process of the Ming army's appearance and formation shocked everyone on the scene.

No one can imagine that the army can be trained to such a level that everyone's movements are uniform, and each square has hundreds of people as if it were one person.

Even as a layman's civil servant, he was shocked to see this moment, thinking that this army is extremely extraordinary.

As experts, the senior officials of the Fifth Army Mansion, as well as the generals of the Beijing Camp and the Guards, had visited the school grounds one after another, and they were obviously less shocked.

Looking horizontally, vertically, and obliquely, it is a line. This is also a manifestation of a high degree of organization and discipline, and it is also the ultimate pursuit of an excellent general.

At this moment, the senior officials of the Five Armed Forces are also thinking about how valuable such a phalanx is according to the firearms war described by Zhu Jinghong.

Of course, the largest number of people on the scene were the envoys from various countries. Many of the generals who led the army knew that this army was powerful just by looking at it.

"So how to parade the military parade?"

Some envoys muttered in a low voice, expressing the doubts in everyone's hearts, which was different from what Da Ming had seen in the past.

While everyone was puzzled, they saw three horsemen from thousands of households approaching the emperor. After dismounting, they kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, the troops to be paraded are ready, please Your Majesty to review!"

"let's start!"

"According to the order!"

Following the emperor's decree, the rhythm of the drums on the school grounds has changed, and it is relatively brisk, and the army will march according to this rhythm in a while.

As the drumbeat continued, the light infantry phalanx on the westernmost side moved, and then turned around and marched from west to east.

Behind them, the phalanxes of crossbowmen, heavy infantry, and firecrackers all began to adjust their formation, advancing along the trajectory of the light infantry.

All the troops moved in a highly orderly manner, and even the cavalry kept a distance from the front, back, left, and right, which really shocked the envoys present.

They never imagined that the army could be trained to this level, no matter how powerful it was, at least it looked mighty.

"Look right...look!"

In front of the light infantry phalanx, Qianhu, the leader of the team, shouted, and the three hundred soldiers drew their knives out of their sheaths neatly, and hung their sabers in front of the front door.

"His Majesty the Emperor...long live!"

Hundreds of bright knife lights, orderly and heavy footsteps, combined with the hoarse shouts of the soldiers, everyone on the scene was shocked.

Murderous aura is mysterious, but it was clearly felt by everyone present, and no one dared to despise it as "fairy".

"Da Ming... the country will last forever!"

As the light infantry changed back from the forward step to the whole body, Qianhu, who was leading the crossbowmen behind him, also issued the command "look to the right".

Still uniform movements, still murderous eyes, still sonorous and forceful footsteps, everyone on the scene was once again shocked.

Although it was the second time to watch the military parade, Zhu Xianming was still shocked by the more orderly and imposing team than before.

It wasn't just him, it was the same with a group of generals at the moment. After all, they had only seen daily training before, and many of them saw joint training for the first time.

"It's so uniform, like waving your arms...it's really extraordinary!"

"When I saw him practice before, I already felt like a magic soldier. Looking at it today...but I was so shallow before!"

"According to the Thirteenth Master, he still has the method of actual combat training, but he doesn't know what it looks like!"

"You said, I've seen it before. The last time I came here, the Thirteenth Master was practicing. It was the three-stage shooting. It was really extraordinary..."

"In the words of the Thirteenth Master, soldiers only need to... programmatically make movements, that is, to train the army into killing...killing machines!"

All the governors were still in the mood to discuss, but the envoys from various countries present were completely shocked.

The formation just now shocked them extremely, and the marching team now shocked them even more.

Among the envoys, Junggar envoy Na Risong said solemnly: "Da Ming's army is indeed extremely elite. If we fight against them, the future is uncertain!"

But his nephew Bateer said: "Hmph... We Junggar warriors are skilled in archery and archery, and we bought guns from the Raksha Kingdom. We are not afraid of the Ming army at all!"

His face was swollen from the beating before, and the swelling has subsided in the past few days, but his voice is a bit wrong, obviously he has not fully recovered.

Na Risong could see that Battelle was also shocked, and he was just being stubborn right now.

Ignoring his nephew, Na Risong looked at Xuri Gan who was at the side, and asked, "Xuri Gan, what do you think?"

As the number one warrior of Junggar, Xurigan is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has first-class intellectual knowledge.

"Da Ming is very strong, our army is hard to defeat!" Xuri Gan gave an objective judgment.

Battelle immediately retorted: "That's not necessarily true. The Ming army in the northwest is mostly soldiers of the guards, and there are some troops from the Beijing camp among them, but none of them can compare to the army in front of us!"

"This... is true!" Na Risong changed his mind.

Just now he was frightened by the strong soldiers in front of him, and felt that Da Ming was invincible, but now he was awakened by Battelle.

Before he could speak, Battelle looked at Xurigan and said solemnly: "Brother Xurigan, the polo competition in a few days... will depend on you!"

"Don't worry, third prince, we will definitely take the first place!"

Battelle nodded, his eyes were full of hatred: "We sent our best girl into the Ming Palace to be a slave, and they didn't like it and returned it, which made us Junggar lose face..."

"We must avenge this revenge!"

"En!" Xuri Qian nodded solemnly.

It was his first time to come to Ming Dynasty, so he naturally wanted to do his best to express himself and add luster to his family and tribe.

Besides, on the side of the civil servants, the senior officials of the six ministries and nine ministers were discussing, while the three cabinet ministers were in a separate circle, and they talked amicably and closely.

Just from the appearance, these three are not political opponents, but old friends who are confidantes of each other.

"It's really extraordinary, if all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are like this, the world will be safe and the world will be peaceful!" Chen Jinyun, the second assistant, said with emotion.

Being able to achieve the position of cabinet minister is naturally the best insight and vision in the world, so it is easy to see the value of the army in front of you.

I only heard Chief Assistant Xie Changen say: "The army is extraordinary, and the people who train them are even more extraordinary!"

All three present knew that Zhu Jinghong presided over the training in Shanglinyuan.

Prince Rui was staring at the Eastern Palace, and now that Zhu Jinghong was showing his head again, this situation made Xie Changen even more worried, so he felt this emotion.

Just this year, Xie Changen planned to sue his elders. Once he left, the contradictions in the cabinet would inevitably intensify, and the turmoil in the court would also become inevitable.

But now that he is old, he is already unable to handle affairs, and it is even difficult to reconcile the conflicts between the two deputies.

In other words, even if he is willing to suffer, the practical significance is not much.

Seeing that Zhao Yushan remained silent, Xie Changen couldn't help asking: "Yushan, what are you thinking?"

"Mr. Ge, last month Zhejiang reported the details of the embankment repair expenses, which exceeded the budget at the beginning of the year by 80 taels!"

"Jiangnan's third batch of silver to Jingku, 50 taels less than expected at the beginning of the year..."

Before Zhao Yushan finished speaking, he heard Chen Jinyun explain: "Mr. Zhao Ge, the cost of embankment repairs varies according to the actual situation, so it is difficult to budget...it is normal to overspend!"

"And the Kuyin you mentioned was the first batch to arrive in Beijing from the land of two lakes, and the rest will be sent later. As long as the final number is right, it doesn't matter!"

With a smile on his face, Chen Jinyun picked up the teacup and said, "You say yes!"

Zhao Yushan also showed a smile, and said calmly: "Brother Jinyun is right... I'm just afraid that the people below will make troubles. It's fine for them to seek death, and it's not good to hurt other people!"

While the cabinet ministers were talking sweetly, Zhu Jingyuan, Prince Rui, had a solemn expression. He found that he still underestimated his younger brother.

"Fortunately, this kid is an idiot, and he was reprimanded by the old man just now, otherwise he is really a threat!"

"Anyway, I still have to win over the old thirteen. He wears the armor I gave him on such an occasion today. Obviously, the previous win over has been effective!"

When Zhu Jingyuan muttered in a low voice, the prince Zhu Jingyuan on the other side didn't think as much as he did.

"The thirteenth brother is really capable, we still have to win over him, and we can't let him be spoiled by the sixth brother!"
