Liu Haojia did not regard this border patrol as a joke. On the contrary, he took it very seriously. He actively prepared the baggage and prepared for several large-scale exercises on the march. So after receiving the news, he started preparations.
After counting the soldiers, he also prepared a large number of carriages and horses, especially the 30 all-steel artillery pieces that had just been made, and 50 bronze artillery pieces. He also brought a lot of artillery carts that could hold cosmetics.
, as for other baggage, it doesn’t count!
So by the time the imperial decree arrived in Tianjin, his preparations were nearly completed. He easily made all the preparations within the specified time.
On the day of departure, almost half of the people in Tianjin came out to watch the Wu'an Army set off. After all, most of the soldiers of the Wu'an Army were descendants of Tianjin. Even if they found out that there was no danger in this border patrol, they wanted to come and see them off.
.
Only three cannon shots were heard, and then the camp door opened. The first to rush out were more than two hundred cavalry, but these cavalry had a lot of debris on their horses, and they were all one man and two horses! Some knowledgeable people shouted loudly
: "They don't collect at night!"
The crowd made a small noise when they heard Ye Bu Sui's name. Because everyone knew that Ye Bu Sui was the essence of the entire army and the eyes and ears of the army, so naturally they were highly praised! And the cheers of the common people on these horse Ye Bu Sui were even more intense.
So proud that he actually showed off!
After the horse was running wildly, someone suddenly hid in the pedal, slid off the left side of the horse, and climbed up again from the right side! There were also people who grabbed the saddle with both hands and jumped off the horse, with their feet touching the ground on the left side.
He flew up, jumped over the horse and then fell to the right. After touching the ground with his feet, he jumped to the left, and so on! Some people even let go of the horse's reins with both hands, stood up and jumped from one horse to another.
Then step firmly on the horse!
When the people saw these Ye Bu Ting acting like this, they cheered loudly, thinking that since these people had such superb equestrian skills, they would naturally not make mistakes when serving as sentinels for the army! Moreover, these young Ye Bu Ting became more and more active after hearing the cheers.
The hair was delivered smoothly and skillfully, using all the skills of the whole body!
Although Liu Haojia, who was standing on the general stage, could not see the specific situation, he would naturally send someone to inquire after hearing the cheers of the common people. After receiving the news, he said with a smile: "These instructors taught me that I will not accept these things at night."
Very good! This time I go out to see their performance. If they perform well, I will reward those instructors with more money!"
Liu Ren nodded and said: "It is true that we should give more rewards so that they can teach more people. The number of people who are not accepted at night is still a bit small compared to the army!"
As he was talking, a large group of cavalry poured out of the camp gate. There were about five or six hundred cavalry. Liu Haojia had spent all his efforts to organize these cavalry! Although the horses chosen by these cavalry were not as strong as the horses that never stop at night.
, but they were also carefully selected! His only requirement for doing business with northern merchants was to provide war horses. That’s how he got these cavalry!
Seeing these cavalry going out, the people's cheers paused for a moment and then became louder again. Because although these cavalry did not show off their equestrian skills, their appearance was not bad at all!
The shiny breastplate is placed on the chest, and the sabers are all unsheathed and standing on the right side of the body. There is also a long lance standing beside the leg. The handles of four short muskets can be clearly seen in the front saddle bag. In addition,
The relatively neat team immediately aroused great interest among the people of Tianjin!
After everyone passed, the infantry came out! The first thing they heard was their footsteps! Even before they appeared at the camp gate, the footsteps had already been heard!
The Tianjin people who heard the sound knew that the main force of the Wu'an Army was about to appear, and as soon as these soldiers appeared, they once again aroused cheers from the people! Because their appearance definitely conformed to the Tianjin people's imagination of a strong army!
Each soldier wore tight-fitting clothes and looked tall and tall. He wore short boots that were higher than the ankles, a belt tied around his waist, and a musket with a bayonet on his shoulder. The luggage behind his back was all tied into a square shape.
, with water bottles, ration bags and other supplies placed on it.
It is not unusual to look at one soldier alone. At most, one can say that his equipment is neat. If you look at all the soldiers together, you will be surprised to find that whether it is a belt, a bullet box, a gun or a bag, they have exactly the same appearance and position.
They are completely consistent, even the amplitude of their swings when walking is exactly the same. This is a truly powerful army!
After several columns walked out, there were artillery and baggage troops. Seeing the appearance of these soldiers, the interest of the Tianjin people dropped a lot! Not only was the cheering much quieter, some people even cleared their throats and turned around to leave!
This made the artillerymen and baggage soldiers feel very suffocated! But they had no way to argue with the people about their extremely high status in the army, so they could only walk with their heads lowered and following the cars.
After all the soldiers of the Wu'an Army finished their journey and headed north along the official road, the camp gate was closed again. The soldiers guarding the wall watched their companions go away with envy. What they had to face was boring practice.
33??qxs??.????m
The large army was moving forward on the official road at a very slow speed, and Ye Bushou in front had been sending various messages back in accordance with regulations. Although the messages sent back were all "safe" or "no abnormality", this
At least it was done according to the rules.
The cavalrymen responsible for clearing the road in front drove the people on the road to make way for the army. The army following behind them rolled forward like a long dragon, unstoppable!
Because they had obtained permission from Emperor Wanli, the army could pass by the capital when it arrived. Emperor Wanli would watch the military power from the tower. After Liu Haojia announced the news that night when he approached the capital, the whole army cheered and everyone wanted to
I wanted to show it off in front of the emperor, so I got up early in the morning to straighten my uniforms, clean my boots, and place weapons.
When the army set off, they indeed circled the city under the capital city tower as scheduled. What frustrated the soldiers was that the city gates were closed just in case. However, there were dragon flags and umbrellas erected on top of the city tower.
There was a man in yellow robe standing on the tower looking at them.
The soldiers knew that this must be Emperor Wanli's visit in person, so they worked even harder! Those who stayed in the night even showed off their skills in pressing the bottom of the box, and saw bursts of cheers from the people on the city wall and the people below the city!
Emperor Wanli was very surprised when he saw that the Wu'an Army's cavalry and infantry formations were walking like a moving forest! When he thought that these were his soldiers and horses, he was even more excited and nodded repeatedly!
