Teng Ziju felt that he had finally discovered Shen Ao's inferior side, which was that he was too arrogant. Because of this, he had no intention of taking action halfway. He was still hoping that Shen Ao could successfully catch up with the barbarians. The barbarian king went to deal with him.
Unexpectedly, when the result came, the one who looked like him was completely opposite. While he was shocked, he did not dare to underestimate Shen Ao. This time, he came here just to see if the young Lord Zhongguo who had experienced the baptism of war had anything. Variety.
The scene of hundreds of thousands of people kneeling down is still very spectacular. Although Emperor Qianwen in the dragon chariot has not yet got off the carriage, he saw this scene and couldn't help but look happy. He liked this feeling, this kind of being The feeling of being embraced by thousands of people.
The dragon chariot moved slowly, accompanied by constant shouts of long live, and finally stopped at its destination, which was the side entrance of the Tomb of the Heroes. Here, Emperor Qianwen got out of the dragon chariot, and his high-pitched voice also sounded. And rang out, "Sit down."
"Long live thanks." Another sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami sounded, followed by the movement of everyone standing up and standing up. Although it was not neat, it still looked very spectacular.
With the arrival of the emperor, all personnel were in place. With Gan Wenshi's approval, Zhongcheng Hou Shen Yunyi stood up and read aloud with a proclamation he had written long ago.
Speaking of proclamations, he not only refers to documents used for recruitment, denunciation, etc. in ancient times, but also for informing the world. What Shen Yunyi held in his hand was the article written by Shen Ao early in the morning.
"On the first day of the fifth lunar month in the seventeenth year of Hanchang, Duke Zhongguo, following the emperor's decree, sent troops from Daliang to the barbaric areas. He brought with him one thousand two hundred guards, three thousand rangers, fifty bullock carts, and some military supplies. They marched all the way to Guzhou. , passed through Suzhou and Xinzhou to Bakhna City, and joined forces with King Ayuda Yusu to launch an attack on the barbarians in Shana City... On the fourth day of June, they stole camp at night, defeated the enemy general Meng Ding, captured and killed the enemy. Thousands of enemies... Before closing the city, the flames were raging, and they defeated the barbarian army. They captured the enemy and killed nearly 20,000 of them... Returned to Daliang City with honor on the sixth day of September in the seventeenth year of Hanchang... On the battlefield, war drums Beating, fighting, soldiers sacrificing their lives to win and return. In this battle, some heroes of our generation also showed up, sacrificing their young lives for the safety of Daqian. With the holy will, a tomb of the heroes was specially built. , the names of the soldiers who died in battle will be engraved on it forever, and it will be passed down through the ages, enjoying the incense of future generations, and being remembered by future generations forever. On the tenth day of September in the seventeenth year of Hanchang."
After reading the slogan loudly, there was silence in the whole place. It seemed that from this slogan, everyone saw the scene of a heroic man fighting the enemy bravely and making contributions to the country on the tragic battlefield. Many young people heard this. The athletes were so excited that they wished they could rush onto the battlefield with their swords and show off their heroic deeds.
"Not bad." Emperor Qianwen glanced at everyone and nodded with satisfaction. He had already seen that the effect of the tomb of the heroes and the proclamation was already showing. If there was a war, conscription would no longer be a big problem. The problem is. In this way, today’s goal is achieved.
Following Zhongcheng Hou, Cheng Bolin, the Minister of the Ministry of War, also came out wearing a bright red official robe. On behalf of the Ministry of War, he would recognize the knights who died in this battle, confirm their identities, and show that everything they did was for the sake of If they sacrifice their lives for the country, their names will be remembered by future generations. At the same time, the Ministry of War will also provide certain pensions and care for the relatives of the deceased rangers.
Cheng Shangshu was still talking there. Feng Wanli was among the crowd, and Sun Fuhu and others all looked excited.
Shen Ao fulfilled his promise to them and returned the ashes of the fallen rangers so that they could return to their roots and return to Daliang City.
Not only that, these brothers who died in the battle will be treated with the greatest respect, even the emperor of the current dynasty came to express their respect. If people can really be known on earth after death, I am afraid that they can rest in peace for a while.
At this moment, all the rangers were more grateful to Shen Ao. If it weren't for the Duke, these rangers would have died. Dead people are like fallen leaves on a tree, no matter how poor they were before. It's dazzling and colorful, but who really cares if it turns into the earth after death?
Most of what Cheng Shangshu said was official, and it lasted for half an hour before he closed his mouth and returned to the list of officials with a look of satisfaction after being out of the limelight.
"The third item of the conference is to send the ashes and clothes of the fallen heroes to the tomb." Marquis Zhongcheng's voice rose again.
As the words fell, a neat and majestic team walked up the safe passage that Emperor Qianwen had walked before.
From a distance, a black wave surged forward, looking extremely solemn. There were six people in a row, fifty rows in total, walking in uniform steps at the front of the team.
These three hundred people all wore black chainmail, helmets with only their nostrils and eyes exposed, wore black combat boots made of cowhide, and held steel guns nearly three meters long. From a distance, they looked like It hit him like a torrent of steel.
The three hundred people were all warriors who had followed Shen Ao to the barbaric land and returned. They had received strict queue training. In the past few days, they had not been spared for entrance queue training. Fortunately, the number of people was not large, and each row There were only six people, so it was much easier to keep the team organized.
Yesterday afternoon, Shen Ao went to see one of their rehearsals and finally nodded in approval, making his first appearance in front of the world.
The movements are neat and uniform, the distance between people is equal, and the uniform clothing and weapons make it so that people can't help but feel bright at first glance.
"Oh? Is this the army of the Ministry of War?" Emperor Qianwen asked with his eyes widened when he saw the majestic so-called guard of honor coming from afar.
Yan Fu on the side didn't know that there was such a program and that such an army would jump out. But he had a feeling that this army was not trained by the Ministry of War. Otherwise, Cheng Bolin would have gone to His Majesty long ago. Come here to take credit.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I'm going to ask you a question right now." Yan Fu said as he strode towards Cheng Bolin.
At this time, Cheng Bailin's situation was not much better. His eyes were already wide open, looking like he was in disbelief.
As the Minister of the Ministry of War, he is naturally a person who knows the military. He knows that the appearance of an army often represents the spirit of an army, and most likely the combat effectiveness of such an army will not be too bad. So on the first day of the new year, he saw this When an honor guard of 300 people came from far away, he knew that this was an army capable of fighting, an army with considerable strength.
"Where did this come from?" When a voice sounded in Cheng Bolin's heart, a real voice also appeared in his ears, "Cheng Shangshu, are these troops from the Ministry of War?"
"No." Cheng Bolin answered instinctively. After answering, he noticed that it was the eunuch chief Yan Fu who asked, and then explained: "I don't know where this comes from. Maybe I should ask." Marquis Zhongcheng."
Until this moment, Cheng Bolin had not thought about the matter to Shen Ao. He knew that Marquis Zhongcheng was one of the most influential people among the generals. Perhaps these people should be those who trained the generals with their own soldiers. and composed, otherwise why would it be so capable and give people a shocking feeling?
As for whether it was done by Lord Zhongguo Shen Ao?
Come on, he is still a young man. He is so lucky to be able to defeat the barbarians. If he wants to train such an elite teacher, it is simply impossible.
The victory of the battle may be due to many factors. But when it comes to military training, it is not the slightest trick. What matters is the true strength.
After Yan Fu got the answer, he walked towards the place where Shen Yunyi was. But at this moment, our Marquis Zhongcheng's situation was not much better. He stood there with an excited expression, a little excited, a little excited, and a little confused. Feeling at a loss as to what to do.
Although his nephew Shen Ao had told him before that there would be a small military parade to demonstrate the power of the Daqian army, to make the people more confident in the Daqian army, and to let the people see the majesty of the army. The majestic side, if possible, will also be of great help to future recruitment.
But when he heard this, Shen Yunyi didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, this was just a situation. As for the military parade ceremony, in the eyes of a veteran like him, it would just be like playing house. It's just a child's trick. Do you really expect that a recruit who has just experienced a war will become a warrior who can fight in a hundred battles and show the grace of an elite army?
Yes, when Shen Ao invited his uncle to visit the military camp and put forward his opinions, Shen Yunyi declined. It wasn't that he was lazy and didn't want to go, he just didn't want to discourage his nephew.
But now, when he saw this majestic three hundred honor guard marching neatly and in unison for the first time, he realized that he was wrong.
Big mistake!
If the spirit of this army is not considered an elite division, then which army can be called an elite division?
Shen Yunyi was so shocked that he didn't even notice when Yan Fu came over to talk to him. It wasn't until the other party shouted several times that he woke up, "Oh, it's Manager Yan, what did you just say?" ?”
Looking at Shen Yunyi's lost look, Yan Fu shook his head and asked with a defeated look, "Zhongcheng Hou, is this an army composed of generals' own soldiers? It looks very mighty."
"No... no, this is the first time I have seen them. They should have been created by Duke Zhongguo." Although he could hear Yan Fu's praise, Shen Yunyi still answered with a blush on his face. .
