Chapter 307 The cannon is here!

As the eyes of thousands of people were staring, the four soldiers walked to the top of the platform in neat steps, standing around the flagpole in front, back, left and right. One of them tied the flag to the rope, and the other soldier held the other end of the military flag in his hand. All preparations were ready.

"Rise the military flag and sing the military song!"

Zhang Zhun's voice continued to come brightly.

The soldier holding the military flag swung it hard and opened it all.

Another soldier slowly pulled the rope and let the bright military flag rise slowly against the rising sun and morning breeze.

At the same time, a loud singing voice came:

Go forward and forward!

Our team is facing the sun,

Stepping on the earth of the motherland,

Carrying the hope of the nation,

We are an invincible force.

We are the children of workers and peasants.

We are the armed people,

From fearless,

Never surrender,

Fight bravely,

Until all enemies are wiped out,

The flag of the Hu Ben Army flutters high.

listen!

The wind is howling the war horn sounds,

listen!

How loud the revolutionary songs are!

The soldiers rushed to the battlefield of liberation in a neat manner.

The soldiers rushed to the frontiers of the motherland in an orderly manner.

forward

forward!

Our team is facing the sun,

Towards the final victory,

Liberation to the whole country!

...

Obviously, this was another plagiarism result of Zhang Zhun. After he changed some of the words in it, it became "The Song of the Tiger Army". Although there was no musical accompaniment and not many people sang, the melody of this song was quite exciting and easily led to the atmosphere of the audience.

Amid the majestic singing, the six-star red flag slowly rose to the top of the flagpole. At this time, a more bitter cold wind happened to blow, and the red flag was rustling and stretched quite straight, which made everyone present feel a solemn.

"After raising the flag!"

"The military parade begins!"

The flag-raising ceremony ended, and Zhang Zhun announced the beginning of the military parade.

The military flag and military songs were not shocking enough, and he wanted to have another more majestic military parade.

"Models come out!"

Yang Zixuan stood beside Zhang Zhun and issued a command loudly.

This time, Yang Zixuan was responsible for presiding over the military parade.

Compared with the military parade held in Fushan City last time, this military parade is even larger, more majestic and solemn. All the soldiers of the Hu Ben Gun wore brand new winter clothes, which were obviously more majestic and straighter than summer clothes. When the model soldiers appeared, it immediately caused a small sensation in the crowd around them.

"This is a model."

"Do you know what a model is?"

"The model is just a special model..."

"Nonsense, model soldiers are used to mark boundaries!"

...

Among the crowd, there were some people whispering and finally even argued. Last time Zhang Zhun held a military parade in Fushan City, some people came to watch the ceremony. These people appeared again today. As old seniors, of course they had to show off their knowledge in the crowd. Well, everyone wanted to find an opportunity to show off. The last military parade was also very novel. Of course, those who watched it were very impressed. Now, when you see the military parade again, of course you have to show off in front of others.

However, for others, the way of model soldiers departing is indeed very novel. The main reason is that their movements are very novel. In addition to the people who watched the last military parade, many people have never seen the model soldiers of the Hu Ben Army. Their queues, their walking movements when they entered the sentry, their guns, and their movements when they exchange guns are unprecedented.

In fact, fundamentally speaking, all the personnel of Aoshan Guard and Lingshan Guard belong to the Ming army. Since they are all soldiers, even if they have not been trained for decades, they will still be exposed to some military things. The Ming army also has sentries, which are somewhat similar to the models in front of them. However, the sentries of the Ming army are really a bit shabby compared to the models of the Hu Ben Army! Look at how uniform the movements of these models of the Hu Ben Army are, they are simply forged from the same mold.

In fact, the model soldiers of the Hu Ben Army every military parade are carefully selected soldiers. They are the best in terms of quality, physique, movements, and expressions, and they best represent the image of the Hu Ben Army. They have received rigorous training, and of course they are much more majestic than the sentinels of the Ming Army. They represent the image of the Hu Ben Army, and what the people see is also the image displayed by these model soldiers.

Usually, the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army are basically in the military camps except for wars, and they are rarely seen. The military camps are prohibited from entering. Only today can it be considered officially opened to the public. It is absolutely impossible to say that the people do not find it novel. For the explanations of other people and those who hear them nodded frequently.

"District, start!"

After all the models were in their seats, Yang Zixuan's voice came again.

"Here you come!"

"Here you come!"

"Here you come!"

Countless low voices suddenly came from the crowd.

Needless to say, it was the people who had watched the ceremony and the military parade that "friendly" reminding the people around me that this was my second time watching the ceremony. Of course, their reminders were beneficial. Everyone's eyes looked in the direction they pointed out, and they would not miss the wonderful scene.

Liu Rushi also followed everyone's gaze and saw that there was a gray spot on the other side. Standing on the viewing platform, he couldn't see the faces of each soldier clearly, and could only see them arranged in neat squares. She counted carefully and found that each square was about sixty people. There were nine squares in total. At the front, there were also flag bearers in the middle, holding bright military flags.

The information in Zhang Zhun’s study did not mention much about the existence of the Hu Ben Army. After all, many things of the Hu Ben Army must be displayed in person before they can be seen. There is only one rough information in the text. Today’s military parade was the first time that Liu Rushi saw Zhang Zhun’s large army with his own eyes. They looked quite unique.

When he was in Jiangnan, Liu Rushi also met some Ming army officers and soldiers. To be honest, their qualities were indeed not satisfactory. Due to the abolition of the ward system, most of the Ming army's households were just real farmers. They had never practiced seriously. During the Jiajing period, dozens of Japanese pirates were able to attack the city of Nanjing without restraint. Now, decades have passed, and the Ming army in Jiangnan has no worst, only worse.

"It shouldn't be easy to forge an army yourself."

"Can this Zhang Zhun be a person like Qi Jiguang?"

A strong doubt emerged in Liu Rushi's heart.

In the minds of the people of Ming Dynasty, in addition to the heroes who founded the country, the most popular one was Qi Jiguang, the founder of the Qi family army. Especially in the Jiangnan area, the reputation of the Qi family army and the deeds of Qi Jiguang have not dispersed for a long time and have been passed down for a long time. In fact, many people even offer statues of Qi Jiguang in their families, praying to use Qi Jiguang's reputation to eliminate disasters and solve problems.

Liu Rushi unconsciously placed Zhang Zhun on an equal position with the Qi family army, which shows that she had begun to accept the miracles created by Zhang Zhun. When the Japanese pirates were the most rampant, Qi Jiguang emerged and created one miracle after another. Perhaps, when the Tartars were the most rampant, Zhang Zhun emerged and created one miracle after another.

"preparation!"

"Go ahead!"

Suddenly, an excited voice came, pulling Liu Rushi's thoughts back to reality.

Liu Rushi's eyes fell in front of the viewing platform. The marching team had changed their pace and had changed their guns. They were walking in a straight stance, holding guns from the side. Standing at Liu Rushi's angle, it felt very strong. The neat steps and dense bayonets were like a wall, an invincible wall, pressing over overwhelmingly.

The first one to go out was the fifth team of the Fifth Association. The team was called Zhou Yanyu, and it was Zhou Zhengyu's cousin. They were the youngest team in the Hu Ben Army, and it has been less than a month and a half since its establishment. However, don't underestimate this team. Since it is a new army, according to Zhang Zhun's concept of formation, the new army should receive special attention. There are actually many veterans in this new army. Among the fifty soldiers, at least thirty are veterans.

Of course, they were able to grab the position of the first team by relying on their own strength. In order to win the honor of playing first, Zhou Yanyu and his soldiers put in a lot of effort in the queue. Sure enough, as soon as they appeared, they attracted everyone's attention. The rigorous team, neat steps, flashing bayonets, and unique stances all made the audience around them feel a burst of passion.

After all, there are a few people who attended the ceremony last time. Most of them have never seen it. As the team came one by one, the audience who had originally whispered was completely quiet. There is no doubt that such a military parade is absolutely special. Everyone who sees this scene hopes to remember everything in front of them firmly in their minds as the most precious gift, and will tell them to their descendants in the future.

The same is true for Liu Rushi.

She also hopes to remember everything in front of her, as her most precious memory, and to tell her descendants in the future. Although she doesn't know much about military affairs and has never formally contacted a warrior, she can clearly feel the amazing power from it. Yes, this is a powerful force. In the face of this force, all obstacles will be destroyed.

The current situation of the Ming Dynasty is quite clear for Liu Rushi, who likes to talk about the past and present, guide the country, and inspire words. It can be described as eight words: internal and external troubles and storms. If the situation does not improve fundamentally, the future of the Ming Dynasty will be very dim.

To the north, the Tartars were raging. The Ming army had no ability to resist head-on, so they could only be beaten passively and had no power to fight back. In the past, relying on the strong defense on the front line of Shanhaiguan, the Tartars could be blocked outside the pass. However, with the alliance between the Tartars and Mongolia, they could bypass Shanhaiguan and invade from Datong, Xuanfu and other places, Shanhaiguan had lost most of their role. The two invasions of the Tartars were caused by Shanxi, Beizhili and other places, and the Tartars suffered great losses. What's more, the Tartars had invaded twice, so who knows if they would have a third time?

In the Central Plains, there were mobs in Shaanxi wandering, and the Ming army could only follow their butts, surround them, but could not completely annihilate them. On the contrary, every time the mobs arrived, they brought a large number of mobs. The number not only did not decrease, but was increasing. As the mobs continued to flow, the areas affected by the war were getting bigger and bigger. Even Nanzhili had to deploy heavy troops in Fengyang Prefecture and other places to prevent mobs from entering Jiangnan.

The scholars in Jiangnan always talk about national affairs, and they are always catchy and colorful. They can really be said to guide the country and inspire words. It seems that as long as they take action, they can destroy this one today and that one tomorrow. All they lack is opportunity. As long as the court gives them a chance, they can immediately change the current dilemma. Some people even shout, directly entering the Shenyang and attacking the Huanglong.

However, they gave Liu Rushi the feeling that they were all Zhao Kuo. They could say it was so magnificent and well-informed, but when they really did, they didn’t know where to start. Even some of the backbones of Fushe, the same was true. Although Fushe advocated Wang Yangming’s unity of knowledge and action, and advocated doing what they said. However, the distance between speaking and doing is too great. Most people cannot do it at all.

Let’s not talk about the Tartars in Liaodong for now, just talk about the civil unrest in Shaanxi. The civil unrest in Shaanxi broke out in the first year of Chongzhen, and it has been six or seven years since then. The court did not know how much manpower, material and financial resources it has been, but it has never worked. The situation circulating in Jiangnan is that the civil unrest in Shaanxi can no longer be curbed. The officials of the court kept falling down. First, Yang He was arrested and imprisoned, and now Chen Qiyu was also imprisoned. Who knows which official will be the next one?

However, Zhang Zhun in front of him formed an army quietly. With this army, Zhang Zhun also achieved considerable results. Even the Tartars on Tianheng Island are not Zhang Zhun's opponents. Zhang Zhun is obviously a hard-working figure, just doing nothing, or saying more or saying less. What the court lacks now is such talents! Unfortunately, the court is not very competent to Zhang Zhun now. It has only been two months since the reunion, and there are signs of turning against each other.

"Wow!"

"cannon!"

"The cannon is out!"

Suddenly, a commotion in the crowd interrupted Liu Rushi's thoughts again.
Chapter completed!
