got windy!
At the foot of Shogunate Mountain, black armors were formed into a battle array, flags were like clouds, war horses were neighing, and golden swords were like a forest.
Looking down from the sky, one could see the dense military formations like black cubes made of steel, neatly arranged and spread out at the foot of Shogun Mountain. The thick and murderous aura penetrated the clouds and dimmed the sunlight.
The emperor, dressed in golden armor, stood in front of the reviewing stand with his hand on the hilt of his sword. At his command, the military review officially began and the cowhide drums on both sides of the reviewing stand were beaten in unison.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...
The heavy drumbeats made people's blood boil and their hair stand on end with anger.
Historically, military parades have existed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. But at that time, military parades were mostly in the form of hunting, showing the army's powerful lineup and combat effectiveness.
This was the first time that the Qin army had held such a military parade. The emperor stood on the reviewing stand, and generals such as Liu Meng stood below the reviewing stand. Tens of thousands of Qin troops were arranged in square formations, neatly arranged and orderly, with great momentum. They marched from west to east towards the reviewing stand.
In front of each phalanx, the standard-bearer held the battle flag high, the chief and deputy commanders held sabers and walked in front wearing shiny black combat boots. Behind them was the military formation that seemed to be made of steel, moving as if it were one person, without any disorder.
This alone had already attracted the attention of the ministers and foreign envoys on the reviewing stand. When the first phalanx arrived in front of the reviewing stand, the general in front suddenly shouted: "March in step!"
Suddenly, all the soldiers in the square formation tightened their legs, raised their arms, and stepped forward! Step! Step... Their bodies were as straight as pine trees. Their majestic steps shook people's hearts and moved their souls.
The black uniforms and spears were like a forest, as if they were cast from steel. The entire formation moved in a uniform, majestic and powerful pace. Hundreds of people were like one whole, and the incomparable momentum was like a mountain pressing down on them. It was almost impossible to breathe.
Trample! Trample! Trample... When the black iron stream reached the middle of the reviewing stand, the general in front shouted again: "Salute!"
All of the soldiers in the square formation turned their heads and faced the reviewing stand. They shouted in unison to the emperor on the stand: "Long live our emperor. Long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!"
Clang! With a clang, the emperor drew out his sword to return the gift. The golden armor shone like the blazing sun, making people dare not look up.
One square formation passed by, and another square formation came, tramp! tramp! tramp... ... ... ... This mighty and majestic infantry square formation made people feel the iron will of the Chinese nation. The orderly movements showed that those who did not abide by the discipline would be ruthlessly crushed. The strong spirit filled the sky and excited the whole field.
The civil servants and several foreign envoys who saw this kind of square array for the first time were all speechless and had difficulty breathing. The two or three hundred thousand people watching from the outside were silent, their hearts were shaken, and they were dazzled.
Under the entire Shogunate Mountain, only the flags fluttering like clouds were heard, and only the soul-stirring footsteps echoed, tap! tap! tap... ... ..
"Long live our emperor! Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!"
"Long live our emperor! Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!"
"Long live our emperor! Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!"
This is an army made of steel, a black iron stream that once swept across the world. They came all the way from southern Jiangxi, fought in Yuanzhou, captured Changsha, swept across Huguang, fought a bloody battle in Hanyang, poured out south of the Yangtze River, and swept across the Central Plains.
No matter how fierce the enemy was, they were submerged by this black iron stream, and the smell of mutton on the ground was swept away. They had a brilliant record and an arrogance that looked down on the world.
And the emperor in golden armor on the reviewing stand is their soul.
Today, after receiving the emperor's inspection, they will immediately march to the battlefield and ruthlessly crush all enemies with their iron will.
And the emperor would not only come to inspect them, he would also lead them to the battlefield in person and tell the enemy with actions: Whoever offends the Great Qin will be punished, no matter how far away they are!
When all the square formations were about to pass in front of the reviewing stand, the sea of people watching outside began to cheer like waves, one higher than the other, rising like clouds.
Such a military parade is so shocking. It is not about the display of weapons or the galloping of war horses, but the majestic momentum like cast steel and cast iron. The sound of "trample! tramp! tramp..." represents invincibility and unstoppability.
Those high-spirited young people, even though their voices had become hoarse from shouting, were still waving their arms vigorously. Hundreds of thousands of people were filled with emotion, and the Chinese nation's indomitable spirit of self-improvement and being able to stand up again no matter how many hardships they have endured was fully revealed at this moment.
Amid waves of cheers, the naval fleet on the Yangtze River hoisted sails and fired cannons, adding an earth-shaking roar to this grand parade.
Today, with such a resolute emperor, such a powerful army, and such tenacious people, a few enemies are of no use; they are destined to be drowned under the black iron stream of the Qin Dynasty and crushed to pieces.
This grand military parade united the people of Daqin, boosted the morale of the army, and made the entire country united. People began to firmly believe that Daqin would win!
After passing the reviewing stand, the phalanxes of the navy and the army went directly out of Guanyin Gate and headed for Yanziji.
The army was led by Su Jin, Li Jiu, Gao Yigong, Hao Yaoqi, Hui Dengxiang, Liu Fangliang, Zhao Jian and others, each leading an army to cross the river and fight northward.
The navy was commanded by Grand Admiral Di Zhongxing, who had generals such as Gan Hui, Hong Xu, Liu Zhongqin, Yang Yibao, Yang Qihuang, Shi Fu, Hong Xishan, and Ke Chenshu. They quickly boarded the warships waiting at Yanziji, hoisted the sails, and headed eastward along the river in a mighty manner.
Di Zhongxing, who is nearly fifty years old, stood on his flagship with tears in his eyes and a surging heart.
He was a general from the Dengzhou Navy of the Ming Dynasty. The largest ships in the Dengzhou Navy in the late Ming Dynasty were the Cangshan ships, which had been in disrepair for many years and were in tatters.
As a naval commander, he had dreamed countless times of Zheng He's invincible fleet and the treasure ships that were like fortresses on the sea.
Today, when he really stood on this huge treasure ship that was 45 meters long, 16 meters wide, and had four floors and twelve masts, even though he was in his forties or fifties, he actually had the urge to burst into tears.
Although there is only one ship now, Di Zhongxing believes that in the near future, there will be ten or even a hundred ships, and they will be more advanced than Zheng He's treasure ships.
The bow of the current treasure ship is narrowed and drifts forward obliquely. A bulbous nose is installed below the waterline, so that the crests and troughs of the waves formed by the hull and the bulbous nose meet and offset each other, which is very useful for reducing eddy resistance and improving ship propulsion efficiency. In this way, water resistance is reduced and the ship's speed is increased.
This was an unprecedented initiative, all from the creative idea of the gifted Emperor of Qin. In many people's minds, the Emperor of Qin was now regarded as a god. There was nothing in the world that he didn't know, and many people had longevity tablets of the Emperor enshrined in their homes.
With such a godlike emperor who has a stronger sense of the ocean than anyone else, the navy's future must be limitless.
In addition to this giant treasure ship, there is also a clipper ship whose speed is astonishing. Now various shipyards are vigorously copying it.
In addition, this fleet also included 15 captured Spanish warships, 6 newly launched thousand-ton warships, and 68 small and medium-sized bluff ships, eagle ships, and sand ships.
A total of 91 large and small fleets were moving down the river in a mighty manner. The merchant ships and fishing boats passing by on the river saw them from afar and exclaimed in surprise.
Especially the treasure ship that moved like an island, appeared even larger in the Yangtze River waterway, as huge as a mountain. People on the passing ships all ran onto the deck, waving excitedly and cheering.
When the navy officers and men saw these scenes, they were once again infected by the enthusiasm of the people before they had even calmed down from the excitement of the military parade;
Everyone was filled with excitement, wishing they could charge into the battlefield immediately and crush the invading enemy to pieces with cannons and huge ships.
The wind blows, the flags flutter, the mighty Yangtze River flows eastward into the sea. This surging river carries the navy's warships, the loud military songs, the expectations of the Emperor of Qin, the hopes of the people of the country, the passion and glory of the Imperial Navy of Qin, all the way to the vast sea, to the battlefield... ...
