Following that concise yet thought-provoking edict of war, the magnificent Daqin Palace once again issued an imperial decree, ordering a grand military parade to be held that very day.
Now, the 90,000-mile sea and land borders of the Qin Dynasty were filled with war. The Mongolians in the north of the desert, the Oirat in the west of the desert, the Qinghai-Tibet Khoshut, the Netherlands, Portugal, Britain, the Dongwu Kingdom, Sulu, Boni, and the Zheng family of Jiaozhi all led their troops to invade the Qin Dynasty, and even the chieftains in the southwest were causing chaos.
These internal and external troubles plunged the newly established Qin Dynasty into a precarious situation surrounded by enemies on all sides.
At this moment, the emperor in the palace of the Qin Dynasty not only let out a dragon roar that shook the nine heavens, but also held a grand military parade at this moment. The heroic spirit of a country taking on the whole world with its own strength was fully demonstrated.
According to Qin Mu's original intention, he wanted to summon all the surrounding foreign countries to watch this grand military parade, but now, only the envoys from Korea, Japan and Ryukyu have arrived.
A minister suggested postponing the military parade, but the emperor rejected the suggestion.
A tall reviewing platform was quickly built on the vast plain of Mufu Mountain in the north of the city. Dozens of giant military drums were lined up on both sides of the platform, and black flags fluttered like clouds.
Qin Mu displayed the full imperial ceremonial guard, led the civil and military officials, princes and nobles, and Chinese and foreign envoys, passed through the Daqin Gate, and went to Mufu Mountain for a military review.
Along the way, palace maids and eunuchs held pheasant feather palace fans and yellow umbrellas, and the Taichang Temple played music, with ups and downs. The imperial guards in the palace all wore black armor and rode black horses, guarding both sides.
In the city of Nanjing, the streets were deserted and men, women, old and young rushed to the foot of Shogun Mountain.
The young men rode their horses and carried their swords, calling their friends and looking very excited. Even the ladies of the inner chambers and the daughters of officials came down from their dressing rooms and took carriages to the destination.
Of the 200,000 troops stationed in the capital, 80,000 were lined up at the foot of Shogun Mountain, forming neat square formations.
The tight formation, in a line horizontally and vertically, was as slow as a forest and as still as a mountain.
The golden swords and iron horses exude a fierce and fierce aura that makes people feel afraid to approach. From a distance, one can feel their might reaching the sky and their aura blowing up the moon.
The people outside looked at it, pointed and commented. The field was filled with people like the sea, and the sound of voices was buzzing.
At this time, dozens of huge military drums were beating at the same time. The heavy drumbeats made the blood boil in people's chests, rushing straight to Baihui, and their scalps tingled.
A solemn atmosphere made the hundreds of thousands of onlookers outside silent and eagerly waited.
But all the civil and military officials were standing in a line at the foot of the Gebingtai. The emperor of the Qin Dynasty, wearing golden armor and with a sword hanging from his waist, rode out on horseback with twenty guards. Niu Wanshan was holding a black flag with a golden dragon embroidered on it, following behind the emperor.
The dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and on the flag a golden dragon appeared, ready to fly against the wind, with its fangs bared and its claws dancing, looking very imposing.
The emperor's golden armor reflected the sunlight, shining brightly, and was particularly conspicuous among the black armor.
He rode his horse in front of the mighty army and shouted, "Soldiers, looking back on the past, I, and you. And you, and every one of you! In just a few years, we swept the whole world, swept away all the filth, and restored the world to a bright and clear place. There is no doubt that this unprecedented achievement belongs to me and to every one of you. Facts have proved that as long as we are united and work together, there is no miracle that cannot be created."
"Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long, long live our emperor!"
In an instant, the shouts of the three armies were like a tsunami that swept across the sky, stopping the moving clouds and echoing throughout the heaven and earth for a long time.
This overwhelming momentum made the young men watching from afar so excited that their faces turned red, and they started shouting hysterically. From the way they jumped up and down, it was obvious that they wished they could become a soldier standing before the emperor.
Qin Mu rode his horse in front of the three armies, galloping back and forth, his golden armor gleaming as if covered in light. He continued to shout, "Some people say that now that the world is pacified, should I put my weapons into storage and my horses into the mountains? Should I not be able to ride a horse or draw a bow, and should I rot in the deep palace
No! They are wrong. I stand before you today to tell you that I am not here just to watch your military exercise, I am here to lead the army myself!"
When the emperor shouted the words "I will lead the army in person", the important ministers who had known about it for a long time were not surprised, but those ministers who knew nothing about it were all shocked. But at this moment, the emperor had already shouted it in front of the soldiers of the three armies, and it was too late to stop it.
When Qin Mu mentioned the glorious battle record, the eyes of the 80,000 soldiers looking at him had already become extremely hot. Thinking back to the past, the emperor was invincible wherever he led his troops. Myths were created in the hands of the emperor, and countless soldiers who followed the emperor were able to achieve great things.
The soldiers' admiration for Qin Mu had never diminished, and when they suddenly heard that he was going to lead the army in person, their blood boiled and they all shouted "Long live Qin Mu" in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
After the excited soldiers calmed down, Qin Mu continued to roar: "I want to use the sword in my hand to tell the invading Mongols, Dutch, British, and all ghosts and monsters that my blood is still there, and the black iron stream behind me that sweeps the world is still there. We have the ability to crush all the invading enemies into pieces!
Soldiers, the people of the world are watching us. They work hard day and night, donating their hard-earned money in exchange for the weapons in our hands, the battle robes on our bodies, and the food in our mouths. They support me and you, but for what
They don't ask for much. They just hope that we can defend our country and bring peace to the world, so that they will no longer be killed by the enemy and suffer the pain of being separated from their wives and children and their families being destroyed.
If a person has no backbone, he cannot stand and walk; if a country loses its backbone, it can only succumb to others and crawl. Soldiers, now, use your actions to tell the people of the world!
Tell them that you are the backbone of this country and will not let them wander around any longer. You can provide them with a peaceful sky, block all wars from entering the Qin territory, and allow them to farm and live in peace!"
"Long live Long live Long live!"
"Long live Long live Long live!"
"Long live Long live Long live!"
Amid the roars of a hundred thousand soldiers like raging sea waves, Qin Mu rode his horse back to the reviewing stand and went up to the reviewing stand with civil and military ministers, as well as Chinese and foreign envoys.
Liu Meng, the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, and Di Zhongxing, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, rode to the stage, dismounted, and bowed to Qin Mu with the clanging of their armor. They said, "Your Majesty, I, Liu Meng and Di Zhongxing, are here to report to you. The soldiers of the navy and the army are ready and waiting for your inspection!"
At this time, some people noticed that this military parade was not just about the army. In addition to the soldiers wearing naval uniforms in the array, looking north from Mufu Mountain, one could see clouds of sails and gun muzzles on the Yangtze River.
Among them, an astonishingly huge ship was particularly eye-catching, "Treasure Ship! That's the treasure ship!" someone exclaimed.
That’s right, it took Longjiang Shipyard several years to replicate Zheng He’s treasure ship. Not only did they replicate it, but they also made many improvements to make it faster, with a more reasonable layout and more usable space.
The entire treasure ship is 45 meters long, 16 meters wide, with four decks and twelve masts. The anchor weighs 4,800 kilograms. All the sails and anchors need to be retracted and released by winches. Its huge figure is like a mobile water fortress, and it requires three hundred people to operate it.
Its appearance caused countless cheers. It was the most glorious page in the history of Chinese shipbuilding. It disappeared for more than two hundred years and had long become a legend. But now, it has appeared again, and it will inevitably push China's maritime hegemony to the peak again.
Behind the treasure ship, there was a slender warship that was particularly eye-catching because it used Western-style soft sails and had a particularly tall mast that could be said to be towering into the clouds.
It is the first clipper-type sailboat of the Qin Dynasty. Its speed is two or three times that of other warships. There is no doubt that if it were to enter the battlefield, its speed alone would stunned the enemy.
Its slender hull is not only very graceful, but also can accommodate more guns, with the number of guns on a single side reaching thirty-six.
Today, the emperor is reviewing the navy and the army. This is an exciting moment. After the emperor's review, the navy and the army will go straight to the bloody battlefield! Use the victory reports to tell the people of the world that the black iron flow of the Qin army can support the strongest voice launched by the emperor: Those who offend the Qin army will be punished no matter how far away they are!
