Chapter 611 Military Parade(2/2)
He was very excited in his heart, lifted up his red cloak, suddenly drew his sword and pointed it to the sky, and shouted to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers below:
"The Ming Dynasty is victorious and the Ming army is mighty!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Hundreds of thousands of generals immediately shouted in unison for victory.
Zhu Cixiang nodded with satisfaction, suddenly waved his hand, and immediately three fierce cannon blasts sounded, and the military parade officially began!
The first to be inspected were the Imperial Guards, the elite of the original East Palace Guards.
They were not many in number, only 500 people. Jin Yiwei also knew that Yue Yang was the commander of the imperial guards.
When Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, he changed the name of the East Palace Guards to the Imperial Guards.
These five hundred people are well-equipped and are mainly responsible for the security of Emperor Shenwu. Under normal circumstances, they will not go into battle easily.
Their main equipment is the AK47, as well as the newly installed Huangming rifle.
There were also mortars and grenades, and each man also had two seven-shooter handguns hanging on his body.
A huge flag two feet high appeared in front of everyone, pulled by a four-wheeled chariot. This was the dragon flag of the Imperial Guard.
It is also the tallest and largest flag in the entire army. The flag is one foot long and is bordered by gold damask. The bright red flag is embroidered with dragon patterns, which are flying in the wind.
Yue Yang stood upright under the Great Banner with his head held high and his chest held high. Beside him stood two rows of Imperial Guards armed with AK47s.
After the four-wheeled carriage carrying the banner, there were two rows of twenty-five four-wheeled carriages, with two rows of Imperial Guards standing upright on each carriage.
The first two four-wheeled carriages were equipped with uniform AK47s of the Guardsmen, and the rear carriages were uniformly equipped with new Huangming rifles. More than twenty four-wheeled carriages marched in unison, slowly walking towards the viewing platform.
As the four-wheeled carriage approached the viewing platform, Yue Yang suddenly shouted:
"salute!"
More than 20 Royal Guardsmen entered the carriage. They immediately clenched their right fists and raised their arms, placing them on their left chests, shouting two words:
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
…
It wasn't until the last four-wheeled carriage passed the viewing platform that the guards shouted long live in unison.
The Emperor Chongzhen, who stood silently behind Zhu Cixiang, had long been stunned. He had never imagined the scene before him, let alone experienced it personally. It was so shocking...
The second person to enter was the Shenwu Army led by Zhou Yuji. They wore helmets of the same color and armor of the same color. They were completely in a world of armor and a sea of red. They stepped on the ground and made a neat roar.
The infantry phalanx of the Shenwu Army marched forward and stepped on the ground in order. Everyone placed their rifles close to their left shoulders and swung their right arms vigorously with strong arms.
When passing by the general platform, Zhou Yuji, who was walking alone at the front, immediately faced Emperor Shenwu and shouted:
"Long live my emperor, salute..."
The faces of the Shenwu soldiers were red with excitement, and the whole army shouted three times:
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
After three cheers, they immediately stopped shouting, raised their hands in salute, and walked across the viewing platform in unison:
"Kakaka..."
The entire martial arts arena could only hear the sound of their leather shoes tapping the ground...
After the Shenwu Army, the Tiger Army led by Huang Deqiang and the Longteng Army led by Sun Yingyuan walked past the viewing platform in sequence.
The majestic phalanx marches, and the muffled sound of military boots on the ground strikes everyone's heart. That kind of power makes people feel shocked, and this kind of power makes people feel excited!
After the infantry phalanx, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of the National Protectorate Army, composed entirely of cavalry, entered the scene. The leader was Cao Bianjiao, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
When the cavalry was neatly organized, fully armed, holding Ma Shuo and wearing black masks, the tiger and leopard rode out, the scene became even more intense.
The iron armor was like a tide, the iron cavalry was like a flow, and the momentum of tens of thousands of tiger and leopard cavalry made everyone present feel excited.
When the infantry phalanx passed by the viewing platform, Emperor Chongzhen and his ministers were stunned.
When Cao Bianjiao's cavalry brigade passed by the viewing platform, their jaws were almost dropped.
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that cavalry and horses could actually achieve uniformity.
The last one to appear was the Ming Dynasty Royal Artillery Battalion, with cannons, thunder chariots, and a series of firearms appearing one after another.
These important weapons of the country were either carried by people, or loaded on vehicles and dragged by war horses, and passed in front of the stage from point to point in turn.
There were many firearms that everyone present did not know at all, let alone seen, but they all felt that these weapons were super awesome!
I don’t know other firearms, but Emperor Chongzhen knows artillery!
He paid special attention to the artillery of the National Defense Army. Not only were the artillery carriages new and unprecedented, but the artillery was even different from anything he had seen before, being significantly smaller in size.
How did Emperor Chongzhen know that the gunpowder of the National Defense Army had undergone historic changes?
And developed the mercury fulminate primer for the flash cap. He saw that many artillery guns fired real explosive shells!
Before Emperor Chongzhen could react, rows of rocket cars appeared again.
Emperor Chongzhen could no longer control his curiosity and hurriedly pointed at the conical objects on the rocket car and asked Zhu Cixiang:
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
Zhu Cixi smiled:
Chapter completed!
