Since ancient times, Chinese civilization has always led the development of the world. When the Chinese people wore silk and savored tea in gorgeous palaces, many Western countries were still jumping around outside with bare ass. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to think of China as a country in ancient times. Unfortunately, the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty entered the pass and began to be arrogant and closed their doors, killing the germination of capitalism and allowing China to experience a century of dark age.

After all, the strength of a country ultimately depends on military power. For example, the Song Dynasty emphasized culture and neglected military power, which eventually created the "Jingkang Shame". The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been occupied, and the display of military strength either made the enemy unable to resist through battlefield competition, or it was a military exercise, allowing the enemy to see its strength and dare not have the idea of ​​invasion.

In comparison, the military parade is the most effective method, and it does not consume a lot of national strength as it really does.

What Zhu Lang has to do now is the most shocking and effective military parade. Zhu Lang wants to surrender all the 27 national missions that came to the Ming Dynasty this time, and never dares to commit rashes from now on.

You should know that since 1368, 250,000 Ming troops launched a large-scale northern expedition, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others pointed directly at Dadu and were invincible.

Emperor Yuan Shun, the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, fled late at night and retreated to the Mongolian Plateau. It is known in history as the "Northern Yuan". The period of the Yuan Dynasty as a Central Plains Empire ended.

After the demise of the Yuan Dynasty, officials scattered like birds and beasts, and many officials ran away from the Western Regions and continued to fight against the Ming Dynasty. Since there were three of the four major Khanate left in Mongolia at that time, the pressure on Mongolian was still very high.

In 1370, Timur, a powerful minister of the Western Chagatai Khanate in Central Asia, usurped the throne and then established the Timur Empire. After the establishment of the Timur Empire, it began to expand everywhere. He claimed to be a descendant of the Mongols and had hatred for the Ming Dynasty, so Timur was always preparing to attack the Ming Dynasty.

In order to win over more accomplices, Timur held a "Mongols' Congress" in Samarkand in Central Asia, announcing a high-profile announcement that he would "rebellate against the Ming Dynasty and restore the reign." But the embarrassing thing was that the real Mongolian tribes Tatars and Oirat did not attend the meeting. They ran to Nanjing to tell Zhu Yuanzhang about the news of Timur's meeting.

In order to cover up, when the Timur Empire was first established, it took the initiative to submit to the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty did not relax its vigilance. Zhu Yuanzhang supported the Dongchagatai Khanate as a barrier to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time hoarded heavy troops in Hami.

Later, Timur was ready to launch a large-scale expedition, and Zhu Yuanzhang quickly reorganized his army to defend. Unexpectedly, Timur suddenly became seriously ill and died on the road. Not only did it lead to the failure of the expedition, but the empire was also broken.

After Timur's death, his successor Shaharu changed Qiu Ming's policies and actively communicated with the Ming Dynasty, and the vassal relationship was restored. However, although Timur's death avoided the Ming Ti war, it was not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that it has escaped a disaster, but in fact many people believe that the reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to be safe was entirely because of Timur's death. If Timur did not die, the Ming Dynasty might not be able to succeed. To put it bluntly, the Ming Dynasty relies on luck!

This is very embarrassing! Because without this battle, everyone does not know the strength of the Ming Dynasty, so it is naturally difficult to convince the public.

You should know that the so-called conquering people with virtue is entirely based on strong strength, and war is the best way to show strength!

At this time, the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt took the opportunity to rise when the Timur Empire was in decline, controlled the Red Sea Basin, and strictly prohibited the entry of the Eastern fleet.

At this time, the Eastern fleet was basically the same as the Ming Dynasty fleet. Therefore, we must find an opportunity to show off our muscles and make all countries truly convinced. It is difficult to find reasons for war and burn money, and military parades are a better choice.

This time, Zhu Lang planned, Zhu Biao, Zhu Li, Zhu Di, and Zhu Xu, and carried out this Hongwu military parade together. The army directly transferred about 100,000, including Yingtian's twelve guards: Three Thousand Battalions, Five Military Battalions, Shenji Battalions, Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan and other special forces: White pole soldiers, coyote soldiers, etc., among which high-tech troops: Shenwei Cannon (Tiger Cannon), Fire Dragon Spear, Yi Wan, Annantong, Fire Dragon Cart, etc.

Of course, the strongest one is the one hundred Flang machine cannons!

Among them, the elite of the Ming Dynasty was revealed, with three thousand battalions

The three thousand battalions were all cavalry, and because they had only three thousand people at the beginning, they were called the Three Thousand Battalions. They once shone brightly when they conquered the Tatars (Mongolia), and their weapons were mostly maces. The main reason was to perform the style of assault tactics to foreign friends.

Five military camps

The five military camps are: Danzhongying, Xiaoyiying, Twelve Camp, Weizizhezhanying, and Young Officials and Sheren Camp. They are a combination of elite infantry as the main ones. How elite are they? They are almost the same when changing the formation, the pace is consistent and the military appearance is neat. The main thing is to perform a quick change of formation.

Shenji Camp

Shenji Camp, the ace high-tech unit, carried cannons and muskets in unison. One of the projects they performed was the Three-Line Fire United Fighting Technique pioneered by Zhu Lang. This tactic was developed and used by Japan and Europe for more than 100 years.

Special forces in Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places showed the combat effectiveness of our Chinese ethnic minorities to international friends.

White pole soldier

The white pole soldier belongs to the mountain combat army. The weapons are long spears with inverted hooks and iron rings. Since the gun body is mostly made of white wax tree materials, it is called the white pole soldier. The hooks can be cut and pulled, and the rings can be used as hammer weapons. Another feature is that dozens of spears are hooks and loops connected, and they can cross mountains and climb walls. It is worth mentioning that this army also fought many beautiful battles in the later Ming Empire.

Coyote Soldier

The coyote soldiers are mostly composed of the Zhuangtu tribes of Guangxi, and are proficient in swords, guns, swords and crossbows. They often appear in the war against Japanese devils and are very brave, also known as the Guangxi wolf soldiers.

Next is an introduction to the high-tech link. Since there are many, I can just choose two to talk about it.

Folang Machine Cannon

The Florian cannon was the most advanced cannon at that time. It was powerful and could collapse the city walls effortlessly. At that time, many countries had never seen such powerful weapons, so some envoys were deeply shocked!

Fire Dragon Car

When you see the name of Fire Dragon Car, you may be a little puzzled. Is it a fire-breathing car in a single-stop shape? In fact, it is not. Fire Dragon refers to weapons such as Fire Ordinance (gun), and the car is a chariot. The front of the chariot is mostly wooden stakes with sharp heads, which is "rejecting horses".

It is very effective to resist the impact of cavalry. The tactics are simple but violent enough. It is just a few shots when you are almost in front of you. Even if you don’t die, you will be refused to kill the horse!

Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the high platform, looked proudly at the envoys around him, and waved his hand and the military parade began:

There were a total of twenty-two square formations, and these twenty-two square formations were the strongest sea dragon army in the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the Ming Dynasty sea dragon army had already had 50,000 troops, and this time, twenty-two square formations were formed.

Among them are pikes, swords and shields, axes, archers, musketeers, cavalry and other types of troops. When these neat and intelligent military formations with tofu blocks walked past the platform, when these square formations came to the platform and shouted in unison: "Use me in the first battle, and I will win..."

This voice directly shocked a shocking point in the hearts of all the envoys, especially the Yunnan envoy Zuo De. At this time, he felt unprecedented pressure.

"Hello warrior...!"

"Hello, Your Majesty...!"

"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!"

"I wish to die for Your Majesty...!"

The waves of conversation between the soldiers and the emperor made the envoys get goosebumps all over the floor. After the twenty-two square arrays ended, it was time to display the firearms.

After all the "Tiger Power Cannon", "Fire Dragon Gun", Annan Gun, "Flock of Bees", "Fire Dragon Car", etc. were displayed one by one, followed by the performance of the hundred Folang Machine cannons.

"Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!"

Fifty Floral cannons fired in a round of volleys, and a ten-meter-thick city wall in front was blown away. What shocked the sacrificial situation was that in less than a cup of tea, the second round of fifty Floral cannons fired in a row!

"Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!"

Many envoys were buzzing because they didn't have time to prepare to block their ears.

Just after all the military parades were over, Zhu Lang rode a horse and held an imperial edict in his hand and recited to all the envoys: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has an imperial edict: From now on, all the emperors and princes of our Ming Dynasty need to remember that the Ming Empire will never marry, do not pay compensation, do not cede land, and do not pay tribute... The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies in the country...!"

"Long live, long live, long live...!" Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Qi... all knelt down, followed the envoys and shouted long live.

Zhu Lang looked at Yunnan envoy Zuo Dedao at this time: "Is it clear that the fake Liang King in Yunnan not familiar with it? He helped the evildoer. The Ming Dynasty has officially declared war on Yunnan's fake Liang King, and this battle will be won...!"

"Use me in the first battle, and I will win!"

"Use me in the first battle, and I will win!"

"Use me in the first battle, and I will win!"

...................................................................

"Ah...!" Zuo De's body tilted to the ground.

Our country has experienced the rise, prosperity and decline of many dynasties over thousands of years of history. In these dynasties, even if it is as powerful as the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, its kings will inevitably make marriage moves in order to consolidate their rule over the country, not to mention the Song Dynasty's indemnity and tributes and the Qing Dynasty's treaties that have lost power and humiliated the country.

However, there are always exceptions in everything. In the past few thousand years, there is indeed a dynasty that is determined to not be in harmony, not to pay compensation, not to cede land, and not to pay tribute - the Ming Dynasty that never admits defeat and bows down!

I believe many people have heard a saying about the Ming Dynasty: "The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies in the country!" As the most backbone dynasty in our history, the Ming Dynasty finally realized ahead of schedule!

Zhu Di later decided that the national policy of "there are no relatives from the Han Dynasty, no alliances from the Tang Dynasty, no Song Dynasty's annual penny, and no brothers' etiquette to fight against the country" was realized in advance by Zhu Lang.

Mu Ying took this opportunity to launch an attack, eventually defeating the defenders and occupying Qujing.

It took less than ten days from the start of the attack to the capture of Qujing. The envoys who were still in Yingtian were shocked to the point of being too shocked.
