Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 449
Children who are a few months old don't know the meaning of parting at all. They only know that the bed is very lively tonight, and someone will play with them until they are too tired to play, and then they will be coaxed to sleep.

In summer, there is no need to cover any quilts at all. Two little guys, wearing small clothes, are lying on the soft bed. On both sides of the spacious big bed, Sun Xiangfu and Yu Xiuer occupy one side to prevent them from rolling over and getting out of bed. go.

"Tomorrow I will get up early, won't my husband go to accompany Hongmei and Chuntao?"

"I've gone to see it, maybe because I'm afraid I'm worried, they went to bed early, I can see that they are pretending to be asleep."

"It's hard to find such caring people. My husband will treat them better in the future."

"That's natural. You are the most precious thing for my husband. No amount of love is too little. After my husband goes to Shanyang, this family will be entrusted to you."

"Husband, please rest assured, everything is up to me..."

In fact, the two of them had been busy all day, and they fell asleep naturally after speaking their own words.

In the early morning, the streets of Chang'an City were crowded with people. Before the sun rose, many people spontaneously cleaned the streets, especially the straight Suzaku Avenue leading to the entrance of the Imperial City near the Imperial City section. Residents along both sides of the street not only cleaned the street, but also hung up colorful silks along both sides of the street. Many people who had been prepared for a long time even went out of the city early in the morning to collect a lot of flowers, just waiting for the army to pass by, waving these Send them off with bright flowers.

These are the soldiers and civilians of Datang. They lived an unprecedented good life, and also burst out an unprecedented love for this era.

Today, Sun Xiangfu is wearing the uniform of the governor of Anbei, which is the highest position on his body. As for the title of Nong Guogong, it is a title. In the court class, it is only counted by position, so he is still ranked first. The third position in the sequence of civil servants is Li Jing, the right servant of the Shangshu in front, Wen Yanbo, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Yu Shinan, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Du Ruhui, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, who has just been reinstated.

However, what is destined to be the most dazzling today is the sequence of generals. All the generals of the sixteen guards put on new military uniforms, large gold badges, and golden wheat ear epaulets.

The only one who can walk in the middle of the team is the emperor Li Shimin. His outfit today is not a dragon robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves, but a garment factory specially designed for him, and after repeated revisions, the final finalized emperor's military uniform is a bit similar to that of the Republic of China period. The military uniform style of the warlord commander, long leather boots, high hat, golden wheat braid, and the chest covered with golden badges, epaulettes and collar patches are also very fancy, but they have a full sense of majesty, especially It is worn on a big man like Li Shimin.

After he stood domineeringly at the gate in the middle of the imperial city, all civil and military officials immediately stood on both sides of him, looking towards the Zhuque Street directly in front of him. .

In the morning, the rising sun gradually showed its light and heat, the drums sounded, the gate of the imperial city opened, and groups of musicians dressed in military uniforms similar to those of the female soldiers of later generations came out of the imperial city neatly.

The people in Chang'an City are not unfamiliar with the sound of these musical instruments. This is the second military parade held in Chang'an during the Zhenguan Dynasty, and before that, they have more or less heard the sound of some musical instruments during rehearsals.

"The water of Wanquan River is clear and clear.

I made a bamboo hat and sent it to Tang Jun.

The army loves the people, and the people support the army.

Military and civilian unity, one family, one family
······"

The singing of the art troupe resounded under the imperial city. The short four-sentence song was repeated continuously. Soon, the common people could learn this rhythm and began to sing along with it.

Above the imperial city, when all the ministers and generals heard the singing from below the city like a tsunami, their faces were filled with gratified and happy expressions.

Of course, there are still some people who are in a state of shock. When have they seen such a scene of millions of people singing in unison, especially those who understand the meaning of the lyrics.

For example, Shelong, such as Zhang Leqiujin, they now have a slightly more specific understanding of the power of Datang, not only because of its rich products and large population.

For example, Bamu, he is now leading the active and powerful Feng An, why does he obey the orders of the Li Tang Dynasty, and is committed to integrating all ethnic groups in Lingnan Baiyue into the Han nationality.

There are also some other people who have thoughts about the Li and Tang Dynasty. At this moment, they have completely given up. The power of the human heart is infinite and it is not so easy to overthrow it. As long as they are not stupid, they all understand this truth.

There are more than a thousand musicians from the four major art troupes, dressed in neat ceremonial attire, singing songs, and marching in neat steps to line up on both sides of the imperial city. The main instruments are snare drums, trombones, and flutes.

After seeing clearly the looks of most of the musicians in green short skirts, the people standing closer felt that their eyes were blinded. In this world, how could there be such beautiful clothes and heroic looks? This word is not enough to describe the image of these female musicians!

After Tai Le ordered Yu Xiu'er, who was also dressed in ceremonial attire, to board the podium, the military parade ceremony began.

The red tassel, which was used as a conductor, was swung by Yu Xiuer. Seeing her solemn and powerful posture, no one dared to despise this female official. What people feel is sacred and inviolable, and this is the function of music.

It is mentioned in the Book of Rites and Music in the Later Han Dynasty, "Its short flute, cymbal song, and military music are also."

Compared with the simple military instruments such as short flutes and cymbals at that time, the military music of the Tang Dynasty is much richer, and the arrangement has already surpassed the millennium, because it was Sun Xiangfu who directed the music played by Yu Xiuer. Relying on memory, the rhythm hummed out was arranged, and its melody is exactly the "Welcome March" of later generations.

This is the music played when the soldiers enter the arena. Later, there will be the "March of Formation", "March of Review", and finally "Farewell March".

Among the four songs, this "Welcome March" has the most opening momentum. Once it comes out, it can make everyone who hears this song excited.

Amidst the sound of majestic music, the sergeants lined up on Suzaku Street moved. This time, they were no longer wearing heavy armor as before, showing everyone the equipment of the Tang Dynasty, because the purpose of this military parade is the same as that of the previous military parade. This time is different, the last time was to brighten the muscles and have a deterrent effect, but this time, it was to fight for real, and the theme was oath.

Among the onlookers now, there may be spies from Goguryeo among them. Naturally, they will not be allowed to find out in advance what level the new equipment of the Tang Dynasty has reached.

Therefore, except for the display of chariots, all the other soldiers were only wearing straight green military uniforms and armed belts that looked very energetic. Most of the soldiers were only wearing a pair of white gloves and holding a standard They don't have waist knives, long spears, or even heavy shields. They just line up neatly to show the world the body and military appearance of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

This kind of formation of tens of thousands of people is like one person. Everyone is dazzled. They have no idea how Tang Jun did it. As of the end of May, Tang Jun has carried out training for more than eight months. Nearly a month was spent helping the common people plow and harvest, but seven months of high-intensity training had already formed some of their habits naturally.

This kind of head-high, confident aura is even more charming than their wearing heavy armor and equipment armed to the teeth.

Many young girls who were watching in the crowd had an impulse to marry Brother Bing if they wanted to marry at this moment.

The team entered the Huangcheng Street in front of the Imperial City Gate, and the military music evolved into the "Separate Marching Area".

Above the imperial city, Li Shimin stepped forward towards each team passing through the gate of the imperial city, and waved to the soldiers who raised their hands as a military salute. After the hundred thousand troops lined up on the imperial city street, Li Shimin left the imperial city. , stood on a five-wheeled rickshaw pedaled by three imperial chariot captains, Prince Li Chengqian was not in Beijing, and Li Shimin did not let other princes board the car, but Li Tai, who was full of expectations, was depressed to death.

After Li Shimin boarded the car, the music of the cultural troupe changed to "March for Review". As the rickshaw began to drive slowly in the middle of the street, Li Shimin also began to speak his lines.

"The soldiers have worked hard..."

"Fight for my emperor..."

This slogan was added at the suggestion of Sun Xiangfu, and the most direct effect it had was that many old soldiers who came to watch the military parade, or those who were not included in the expedition, wished to make their own decisions and accompany the emperor. Expedition.

When Li Shimin was inspecting his army under the spotlight of all eyes, Zhang Cheng, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face and a lot of gauze all over his body, entered into deep reflection among the crowd.

He hated the black man who wanted to trick his sister yesterday, but he liked the atmosphere of Datang and Chang'an very much. The people are proud of their country and their emperor, even if this military parade During the ceremony, the powerful armed forces were not shown to everyone, but the people also felt that they were invincible.

Of course, this is not the only thing he likes. His younger sister Zhang Ruyan told her a lot about things in Chang'an yesterday. The government controls all kinds of industries very strictly. Second-class citizen household registration, and with this household registration, she is a hired worker in the Wang family, even if she is an employer, she cannot be forced to do skin and meat business.

Therefore, even though she was working on the boat, she only sang songs, danced, poured wine and played fans for the guests, but she did not lose her dignity. This was also a compromise she had to make in order to earn some food and survive. .

And under the policy of the imperial court, many sisters born in poverty like her avoided the tragic fate of being completely degraded, and she was just one of them.

In addition, Zhang Ruyan also told him her thoughts. She wanted to apply for the art troupe. She was confident that she could become a female official with her own ability, so that her children and grandchildren would no longer be bullied. Did not agree to follow him to the remote and remote Yunnan.

Thinking of Wang Hao's plan, Zhang Cheng was in a dilemma. He didn't want to betray Wang Hao, but he couldn't bear to destroy the harmony and beauty in front of him, and he didn't want to let his only relative be hurt. Therefore, he didn't care about physical injuries at all. The torment in life made him unable to lie quietly in the guest room to recuperate. Enduring the pain, he decided to come out and have a look. In a corner far away from him, his sister Zhang Ruyan was adoring her with envy. Looking at Yu Xiuer, who is heroic and heroic, holds her red tassels high, and directs more than a thousand people to play music. This is a woman who is envied and admired by all Tang women, especially women like Zhang Ruyan who are engaged in folk art.
