514 The Flag Comes
As soon as he finished speaking, the war drums on both sides of the platform sounded "dong dong dong dong".
The samurai drum was powerful and resounding throughout the sky, and the sound was heard from afar, reaching the location of the Dongjiang Cavalry.
Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, was already wearing military uniforms. When he heard the sound of war drums, he was a little excited. Even the grand occasion of entering the capital yesterday was not as excited as it was at this moment.
He turned his head and looked at the eight hundred cavalry subordinates behind him. He saw his subordinates holding the war horse with a red face, either standing straight with the reins, or constantly reaching out to touch the war horse's neck, and obviously he was a little excited.
It is no wonder that they were a little late after they received the decree last night, so they conveyed the decree to them early this morning. They told them that today the emperor would bring senior civil and military officials to come with them, and boast about the great martial arts of the Dongjiang Cavalry in front of the Jingying and the New Army. This is a great honor and the greatest honor of being a Ming soldier!
This military reading ceremony was not practiced in advance. What if something goes wrong in front of so many Ming soldiers, in front of so many senior civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, and in front of the Ming Emperor? It must be embarrassing, right?
The soldiers of the Dongjiang Cavalry were thinking so, fearing that they would not do a good job, which would implicate the Dongjiang Cavalry and Lord Zhongcheng!
Lu Xiangsheng was actually a little worried, but he should have said it in advance, and he had already said it just now. The drums were already ringing, and it was time to go on stage. He immediately pressed his distracting thoughts, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Get on the horse and set off!"
After saying that, Lu Xiangsheng jumped onto the horse, gently clamped his legs and began to slowly walk out of the base. What he didn't see was that with his order, the soldiers of Dongjiang also got on the horse one after another, but many people were like novices. The first time they didn't ride on the horse, and their faces were almost as red as monkey's butt!
The drum sounds slowed down and the sound became lighter. The sound of horse hooves "showing" came to the school ground, becoming the only point of attention on the entire school ground.
When Cao Bianjiao heard the sound, he first saw a big flag fluttering in the wind, with a large "Lu" embroidered on it. Under the guidance of this big flag, a cavalry and a row of five cavalry were slowly appearing on the school ground.
He could see at a glance that although this cavalry was trying hard to maintain the neat formation and try to advance together as much as possible, he didn't know whether it was nervous or something, but the formation could not be neat. With the neatness of the procession, even the new cavalry could not catch up with the new cavalry.
However, at this time, Cao Bianjiao had no intention of contempt at all. His eyes were focused on the hands of each row of cavalrymen, the flags they held, the pallets they held, etc. He understood that these were the spoils of this cavalry, and the most favorable evidence to prove the achievements of this cavalry. Which army in the Ming Dynasty today can have as many spoils as they seized?
Most of the soldiers on the school field were also in the same mind as Cao Bianjiao. Looking at this not-so-neat cavalry, they were filled with admiration. Those spoils were seized from Jianlu in Liaodong!
The Dongjiang Cavalry slowly arrived in front of the General Stage. The governor of Denglai, Lu Xiangsheng, stopped his horse, turned to the General Stage, loudly introduced to the emperor, to the civil servants and generals above, to all the Ming soldiers: "This is the guard seal letter from the Liaoyang garrison Jianlu general Aisin Gioro Babuhai!"
The knight holding the plate behind him stretched out his hands and handed the tray to a great general, and then a group of five cavalry continued to move forward. Then the next row of knights stopped, and the knight in the middle extended the flag in his hand to a waiting general, and Lu Xiangsheng's introduction rang out from the side: "This is the handsome flag of Aisin Gioro Babutai, the guardian of Anshan Post Castle!"
After introducing one, the next one was introduced, while the Han generals took the seal, flag, and other spoils and turned it on the dot platform for the emperor to view.
Not much time has passed, there have been a lot of spoils in front of the emperor on the stage and the civil servants and generals. These spoils are very heavy. If they had not annihilated Jianlu, these spoils would not have been seized at all.
Until all the spoils were presented to the station, Lu Xiang rose over and dismounted, and then, under the guidance of an eunuch, strode to the station. Just in front of the pile of spoils, he bowed and said, "I have not let go of the sage, and traveled thousands of miles from Liaodong to capture Liaoyang and Anshan Post Fort..."
After Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen said loudly: "Did you all see it, have you heard it?"
After saying that, he stood up, strode towards Lu Xiangsheng, reached out and patted Lu Xiangsheng on the shoulder, and then said loudly with a smile: "The mountains in Liaodong are high and the roads are far and deep, and the cavalry in Dongjiang are running. Who dares to attack the enemy immediately? Only I, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, will be the governor of Denglai!"
Hearing this, all the civil servants and generals couldn't help but stare at Lu Xiangsheng, and they were envious. Although the emperor's poem did not seem to be particularly contradictory, it was heart-wrenching. From the poem, we can see the position of Governor Denglai in the emperor's mind.
Cao Bianjiao below also heard it, and he couldn't help but feel excited. He secretly swears in his heart that when our new army is completed, he will go to the Liaodong battlefield. What Jianlu is invincible in field battles, and what Jianlu is invincible. The new army will definitely fight Jianlu's fear of being changed when he hears the news and will not let Lu Zhongcheng be beautiful!
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was moved when he heard that the emperor actually wrote a poem to praise him on the spot. If it weren't for the emperor's kindness, if the emperor had not provided so much support behind his back and mobilized the assistance of Guanning's friendly troops, how could he have achieved this? How could he be worthy of the emperor's praise!
Just as he was about to say something, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Cao Huachun and said, "Come on the flag!"
Cao Huachun was actually ready, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately came over with a piece of brocade cloth covering it.
All those who saw this scene couldn't help but be a little curious, not knowing what flag was on the tray? And those who didn't hear Emperor Chongzhen talk in the distance began to guess, but they understood that it could not be something as rustic as silver anyway.
Emperor Chongzhen himself took off the brocade cloth, then smiled and said to Lu Xiangsheng, "Expand it!"
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he immediately followed the order, held a corner of the flag from the tray, and unfolded it on the platform at the dot.
Lu Xiangsheng was very tall and had long arms, so the flag was unfolded in his hands and could be seen clearly. The flag was embroidered with the three words "Chief Camp" embroidered on it.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen loudly introduced: "The Dongjiang Cavalry has achieved the power of the Ming army. I specially asked the queen to embroider this flag overnight and specially granted it to the Dongjiang Cavalry. From then on, the Dongjiang Cavalry will be the Cavalry Camp!"
