My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 143 If we don’t come, who else will?

As the first person to walk, Jia Yu naturally received the most attention. He was fully armored, holding a long knife and pointing upwards. He walked at the front of the team without squinting. Both his posture, steps and demeanor were impeccable. .

No matter how disgusted he is, people can't help but admire him secretly in their hearts, what a majestic general.

Emperor Changping was sitting on the dragon chair, watching the neatly arranged phalanxes approaching. He felt that his heart was so excited that it was difficult to control himself. At this time, he had only one thought in his mind.

This powerful army belongs to me. It is an army that belongs entirely to me.

The Supreme Emperor sitting next to him looked at the phalanx passing by in the audience and was silent for a long time. After a long time, he said expressionlessly: "It's a bit interesting."

Some Yan Guan who originally had their eyes widened and wanted to find fault looked at the square array passing in front of them and fell into deep thought. Jia Yu, this kid, doesn't have martial ethics, how can you ask them to find fault with this thing?
Compared to the officials and the emperor, not to mention the White Queen, the concubines in the harem, and the noble family members around them, as female family members, they had never seen such a majestic and mighty scene.

The ruthless soldiers, the uniform formation, and the straight line whether viewed horizontally or vertically, gave these women who had grown up in the backyard of the boudoir a great shock.

The White Queen held the handkerchief in her hand tightly and felt a dampness in her palm. Looking at Jia Yu who was walking solemnly at the front, she suddenly felt that she had underestimated this young hero.

But Jia Mu, who was sitting behind her, was already in tears. In Jia Yu, she seemed to see the figure of her late husband Jia Daishan in the past and the hope of the Jia family to rise again.

Although Yuanchun's eyes were a little red on the side, she was more proud and proud. She even had the guts to stand up immediately and point to the figure walking in the front and tell everyone... look... that's mine. Husband.

All in all, facing the military parade that appeared in front of the world for the first time, everyone who came to watch the ceremony, whether it was the emperor, officials or ordinary people, was really shocked.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

At some point, the sound of drums and horns stopped, and there was only the sound of footsteps on Chang'an Avenue.

When the first phalanx reached the right side of the high platform, it stopped, followed by the second, third, and fourth phalanx...

After the phalanx of musketeers was completed, it was followed by a phalanx of spearmen, a phalanx of sword and shield soldiers, and finally several phalanxes of artillery.

The battlefield parade discussion even reached a climax when watching the war horses dragging twelve-pound and six-pound Napoleon cannons slowly towards them.

The Supreme Emperor even stood up a little rudely, looking at the artillery passing in front of him with some disbelief.

"This...is this an artillery piece? When did artillery become so portable?"

It's no wonder that the Supreme Emperor lost his composure. The artillery used in Daxia today is still the general cannon and Hongyi cannon used in the founding period.

These artillery can easily weigh several thousand kilograms or even thousands of kilograms. Not only are they very bulky, but the preparation work before each firing is also very trivial.

Because it is too bulky, the Hongyi cannon can only be used to defend cities most of the time, and is rarely used in field battles.

He even murmured: "I didn't expect that after more than ten years since I abdicated, today's artillery can actually be made so light.

If I had such a sharp weapon during the Liaodong War, how could I have been defeated by that thief chieftain? "

When the artillery phalanx passed, tens of thousands of soldiers had gathered on the street.

Looking down from the high platform, a square formation of famous soldiers was densely arranged in front of the high platform.

But what is surprising is that although the distance between the soldiers is very close, they are all in a straight line from any direction.

After all the soldiers were in line, Jia Yu trotted all the way to the high platform. He crossed his right hand across his chest and performed a military salute. In a voice that almost everyone could hear, he loudly said: "Qi Emperor, Qi Emperor, five All the soldiers and horses of the city's army and horse department have finished lining up collectively, please review by your majesties!" Looking at the soldiers and horses standing solemnly under the stage, Emperor Changping suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned his head and looked at the Supreme Emperor, "Father, please Come forward and give instructions!”

The Supreme Emperor's face moved and he waved his hand, "Since I have passed the throne to you, let you do this kind of thing. What I want is the result. Do you understand?"

Emperor Changping bowed and said: "My sons and ministers will obey my father's teachings."

After saying that, he stood up and strode forward. Dai Quan quickly followed behind, staring at Emperor Changping nervously.

Due to the hasty construction of this high platform, there is no guardrail in front. If you accidentally fall, you will be in trouble.

Emperor Changping walked to the edge of the stage and looked at the pairs of eyes below who were looking at him with solemn eyes. He felt a kind of pride welling up in his heart.

Just when he was about to speak, Dai Quan next to him handed him a large iron trumpet from a young eunuch, "Your Majesty, this is given to you by General Zhaoyong. He said it can amplify your voice."

Emperor Changping took the microphone, tried to put it to his mouth and said loudly: "Soldiers!"

Sure enough, Emperor Changping's voice was amplified by the loudspeaker, and the sound was instantly transmitted to every corner of the street.

"boom!"

The moment Emperor Changping spoke, all the soldiers stood at attention and made a roar.

“Soldiers of the Military and Horse Division, I won’t say anything more to you today.

I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Just yesterday, the Mongolian Tatars broke through Tongguan.

The [-]-strong army that went on an expedition a few days ago suffered heavy casualties, and now the Tatars are already heading towards Shenjing.

I have issued an order to mobilize troops from all walks of life in Daxia to serve the King in Beijing, but this will take time.

The Mongolian Tatars will not give us time, so I need an army to take the initiative and drag the Tatars halfway to buy time for reinforcements to arrive.

Otherwise, if the Tatars really surround the capital, millions of people in the capital will be trapped and starve to death.

Now, Daxia needs a team of brave men to carry out this most difficult task. Is anyone willing to go? "

There was silence in the audience, everyone looked at the audience, but all the soldiers stood solemnly, and no one said a word.

Looking at the silent soldiers in the audience, low murmurs slowly began to appear around them. The people also looked at the soldiers standing motionless with strange eyes. Even the officials showed ridicule in their eyes. eyes.

Just as Emperor Changping's fiery heart was slowly cooling down, a figure stood up and loudly said in a firm voice: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"

Looking at the figure standing out, Emperor Changping nodded slowly: "Jia Yu, are you sure you want to go? It should be noted that this battle is extremely dangerous. If you go there, you may not be able to come back. Don't think about it again. Already?"

Jia Yu smiled brightly: "Why did your Majesty say this? For those of us who are soldiers, our daily expenses for food and clothing are not the bread and butter of the common people. Now the Mongolian Tatars are attacking us at our doorstep."

If we can't serve as soldiers, who can we expect to become soldiers? "
