Chapter 103 Military Prestige

The next day, Yuan Weiting went back to the camp with a spring breeze on his face, and said to Zhao Guanhou: "Jin Ying can't take her back here yet. ◎ She was as kind as a mountain to me back then, so she couldn't take her back in a hurry. She must do a big feast. But now... the time is not right, and Jin Ying also understands the benefits and interests of this. Only after watching the feast can she marry her. During this period, Jin Ying will still live here. I will leave the safety matters to you, and everyone in the family doesn't have to avoid so many. If Jin Ying has any needs, you can help her. If there is insufficient money, go to the grain station."

"Don't worry, sir, I will protect my wife thoroughly and not let her suffer any grievances."

"I have said it all, call me brother-in-law. You were paid for the night of stay last night. Don't be busy going back to the camp today, just have a good night's sleep."

"Brother-in-law...I'll escort you back to the camp."

Yuan Weiting laughed and said, "Escort? The small station is our territory. On this land, who can do anything to us? Don't worry, there will be no obstacles. You have a good rest and arrive in the camp early tomorrow."

While Zhao Guanhou was in charge of his horse-squadron in the military camp, he also had to protect Shen Jinying's safety. He even saw Su Hanzhi much less. Until the autumn became stronger, the electricity finally arrived. The Queen Mother was about to arrive at the small station to watch the new army meeting in person.

This time, only the empress dowager and some ministers left the capital, while Emperor Tianyou and the military aircraft stayed in the capital to supervise the country. This is also a signal. Unlike the past when he withdraws the curtain and does not delegate power, he really let go this time. After watching the food, the empress dowager, who was in high spirits and lacks energy, will soon let go completely and let the emperor perform his fists.

When the Empress Dowager watched Cao, the New Army entourage was responsible, and as well as the case of the attempted attempt of the Empress Dowager, he did not dare to be careless. Yuan Weiting led his subordinates to prepare for alert and reception, while Zhao Guanhou did not close his eyes for several days, and led his subordinates to sort out the surroundings over and over again to guard against possible assassins.

Fortunately, after the first two incidents, the vigilance near the station was very tight, and outsiders wanted to sneak in and out of the sky, but there were no suspicious people. A few days later, the leader of Empress Dowager Cixi's team finally arrived at Xinnong. He was regarded as a fucking by Yuan Weiting and Zhao Guanhou, and finally began.

Among the officials of the Jin Dynasty, many people have watched the army's charity, and from the Hunan Army to the Huai Army, they have seen all the tricks. Especially when the Empress Dowager watches the food, she is not allowed to fire firecrackers except for a routine shooting exercise. This kind of charity is just a formality and has no meaning. Many people have a foolish attitude in their hearts, only Han Rong, who is about to take over Wang Wenzhao, pay attention to the appearance of the army and evaluate what team he will take over in the future.

He had already received the care of King Qing and knew that Yuan Weiting was the King Qing's way, and King Qing was quite close to him, so he shouldn't have made things difficult for him. What's more, Li Lianying also came to help Yuan Weiting talk. He didn't know how Yuan Weiting got this line, but he had to give face to the chief manager.

Since he has the care, he will not be too harsh on him, but if the soldiers are too unusable, he will also take some action and eliminate them. In the future, the Wuwei Army will have tens of thousands of people, and will always have a survival of the fittest and cannot be appointed. Yuan Weiting is a dragon or an insect, so he only sees this incident.

The sound of drums was not the commonly used snare drums in the Great Jin army, but the Western small drums and brass bands. Then, a phalanx of breastplate cavalry appeared on the school ground. Yishui was a tall horse imported from Taixi. The horse was a cavalry armor with a bright armor and a battle knife on its waist. In the sun, the steel breastplate purchased from Taixi flashed with cold light.

Four horses are in a row, and the horse's hooves are not bad at all, and they rise and fall together. Slow steps, fast steps, run, backward, transition, half stop, push forward, a series of complex formation changes, people and horses merge into one, performing graceful dance postures on the playground.

"Foreign...foreign people?" The first thought that arose in Han Rong's heart was these two words:foreign people. Looking at it in a blink of an eye, although no one among his colleagues dared to speak in front of the empress dowager, the stunned expression on his face proved that they were the same as their own. This kind of team was clearly only available when the foreign soldiers came out. When did the Jin soldiers have such great skills?

Dajin has been doing Westernization in recent years and has had many contacts with foreigners. Han Rong has also watched foreigners perform on the show with the Six Kings. In my impression, even ordinary foreign soldiers are not so neat. It is probably because of the birth of the Albion female emperor, the royal guards, who had such clever means.

He was a man who knew the military, so he could naturally see that even the horse team outside the pass or the bandit that had a great headache for gold at the time would be embarrassed to face such a horse army. Even if he could only train such a horse team, Yuan Weiting was worthy of being a top player.

But before his thoughts were completed, the second team had already walked in after the horse team. The Yellow Dragon Flag stretched in the wind and the drums were melodious. The soldiers were both tall, fat and thin, and even their faces were somewhat similar. They all held rifles in their arms, swung their arms and legs, and rose and fell in line. The sound of military boots landing on the ground was sonorous and powerful, neat and uniform.

While walking, the soldiers sang a marching song in the accompaniment of military music, "For the son, be filial, be loyal to the ministers. The court borrows foreign debts for profit and pays heavy salaries to support the soldiers. One soldier eats and wears a hundred taels of taels, and the sixth-rank official salary is the same. If he does not contribute to the country, the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth will not tolerate it..."

Yuan Weiting shook the flag on the stage. Under the guidance of the flag, infantry phalanxes walked neatly towards the viewing platform where the empress dowager was. Whenever an army walked to the viewing platform, the soldiers stopped singing and shook their heads to look at the viewing platform. In unison, they shouted, "The Queen Mother's Holy An!"

On the viewing platform, Empress Dowager Cixi, who was nearly seventy years old, sat in the middle of the viewing platform, wearing a bright yellow cheongsam, covered with black satin vests, two pairs of heads combed on her head, and bright yellow ears on the bottom. On the head of the flag, there was an extremely dazzling double-headed agate hairpin. The axe of time did not give preferential treatment to this old woman who had held the power of the Jin Kingdom for decades. There was no trace of the spring time when she was favored by the heaven and earth family that year.

Although she put on makeup and used a lot of supplements every day, her aging still couldn't be concealed. However, those old eyes were still bright, proving that the owner of the body was vigorous and vibrant. She was much better than countless elderly people of the same age.

Whether it is the princely and royal family who are living with the country or the ranks of tyrants who hold great power, they must be cautious in front of her and dare not be careless at all. Even if she is old enough, she is still like a tiger that has not lost the advantage of her minions, and can tear the enemy into pieces at any time.

When she entered the palace, the state of Jin was declining, and she had experienced countless displaced life. However, whether it was the domineering military ministers or the border ministers who held military power, they were eventually merciless in her hands and surrendered one by one.

Although she doesn't understand military affairs, she has seen countless powerful troops. Whether it is Zeng Wenzheng, Zuo Jigao, or Zhang Tong, who is still walking on military aircraft, she has trained a powerful soldier known as the Iron Army. She has also seen many of the so-called know-how to Cao, Qiu Cao, and this time she came, she was just going through the motions and let the outside world see that she is still healthy, so don't have any thoughts that shouldn't have because she is about to return to power. She lacks interest in observing Cao, and just wants to fool for a while.

But since the horse team appeared, her eyes suddenly opened, and Gu Jing Wubo's heart was shaken. In the past, there was never any army that could shock her so much, and a ridiculous thought arose in her heart: Is this really the army of the Great Jin Kingdom?

No matter how rich her life experience is, she cannot resist the gap between the times. The military parade plan designed by Zhao Guanhou is a reference to the military parade ceremony of the world's first-class power in the era in which he was in his previous life. Even if it is limited to time and material conditions, the majesty shown is only one of the tenths, which is enough to impress the people of the times. Even though this empress dowager has been experiencing storms for a long time and claims that she is not in chaos, she can no longer help but open her eyes wide at this time.

Listening to the new army's voices of the saints in unison, there was a slight smile on her face. Even if she returned to politics, the hearts of the people are still here. Emperor, the way you need to go is still a long way.

She began to become interested in military cattle, and did not want to miss any details, and compared them in her heart. They had seen Wushengxin team in the capital and Shenji Camp that year, but they had never seen anyone, with this appearance. Even if this team was so neat, it would be difficult for the troops in the capital to do it.

The armor on those horse teams was bought from Taisie, and they really got what you pay for. In the sun, they shine brightly and are more pleasing to the outfit on the stage. In this way, they look like soldiers.

The cavalry and infantry team followed by the artillery team. One cannon has a dark barrel and looks particularly majestic in the sunlight. The light and heavy cannons of large and large caliber stretched out a long dragon, with hundreds of books. Looking at the cannons, Cixi's face sank again, and she turned around and shouted, "Liang Ying, are there so many cannons in Yuan Weiting's army?"

Behind her, two trusted eunuchs standing on her arms, Li Lianying, and Cui Yugui, the second general manager. Both of them were wearing python robes, but Cui Yugui was wearing blue feathers on Cui Yugui's head, while Li Lianying's head was wearing a peach feather, which was enough to prove that in the heart of the empress dowager, the eldest general manager was more important than the second general manager.

Hearing the hello, Li Lianying hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Old Buddha, these are all the same as those of our Changyin Pavilion and the wells in Yile Hall. They are all fake tricks for finding people to make. They are good-looking and useless. Yuan Weiting was scared to death. He didn't dare to pull out the real cannons today. Besides, he didn't have so many real guys on his hands. This is for the sake of good-looking. The real things are not so neat, nor so pleasing to the eye, and there are even fewer pitiful ones. I heard that there are only three or five cannons in total. If you show them to Lao Buddha, he would be embarrassed, and we Dajin would not show our face."

"I just said, he doesn't have the courage. Rongshou, look, how about this team?"

She asked a middle-aged woman next to her, who was the eldest daughter of Prince Gong. She was later named Princess Gulun by the Empress Dowager. She was then granted the successor of Wenzong and was given to her in a yellow sedan chair. Her relationship with the Empress Dowager was better than that of her own flesh and blood. However, the princess princess in the Jin Dynasty at this time was very unhappy, and Princess Rongshou was not spared.

When choosing a son-in-law, the empress dowager made the decision and promised her to a prince-consort who looked good but was not in good health. With a few years of Rongshou, the empress dowager became even more generous to her, so even Guan Cao brought her out. The civil and military officials who accompanied her were all a little far away, and the only one who could be with the empress dowager was the only one.

This princess is not a arrogant person who is arrogant and unscrupulous. On the contrary, she has always been modest and cautious, and is related to military and national affairs, so she dare not say a word. When she heard the queen mother ask, she hurriedly said:

"My mother, my daughter doesn't know military affairs, but she dares not talk nonsense."

Cixi and lovingly rebuked, "This child, our mothers talk, but they can't spread it outside, so just talk casually. What's the terrible thing? I don't know military either, but since I'm in this position, even if I don't understand, I have to pretend to understand. If you say you don't understand, the people below will dare to fool you and bully you. The emperor is about to take charge. When you see him again, test him to see if he learns the ability to pretend. This is not enough, but he can't control such a big world."

"My mother is very good at teaching. My daughter thinks that this soldier is really good. When I was shooting the target just now, the gun hole on the target was not much worse than that of Wu Sheng's new team."

"It's not that it's not that bad, it's much stronger." Empress Dowager Cixi had no expression on her face. Only those around her could hear a hint of compliment from her tone.

"This little bit of scrupulousness is not in front of me. They were determined to give in to Wu Shengxin's new team. They shot the target like a honeycomb in front, but deliberately threw a few shots outside. This is a skill that only a good gunman has. Cheng Yi's subordinate, only a rice bucket like him, does not have such talent? Yuan Weiting is very skilled in leading troops, like a storm and standing like a straight tree. He is really a strong army style. Look, even the "noodle" is so majestic."

The infantry phalanx that was lifted down at the moment, the general walking in front was a veteran with white hair and beard. He was dressed in neat official uniforms and had solid and powerful steps, just like an older hero like Lian Po and Huang Zhong.

Princess Rongshou was so funny that she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so she had to forcibly endure, "Mom, are you talking about this veteran Jiang Guiqu? Unexpectedly, you even know his joke."

This veteran led the team was Jiang Guitu, the left wing commander of the new army infantry and the commander of the first battalion. Although he looked majestic, he was actually from a bandit. He was not familiar with his writing and writing, and he couldn't even recognize his name. Walking on the street, he saw signs hanging on the street, thinking that someone was joking about his official taboos, making jokes from the boss, and it was heard in the palace.

However, this square formation has solid steps and strict rules, and there is no robbery at all. Even Jiang Guite has a general's majesty. If it weren't for someone familiar with the inside story, he would never have thought that such a mighty general was actually a thief.

Empress Dowager Cixi turned around and greeted Li Lianying, "Liang Ying, do you think this team looks familiar?"

"Master Buddha, I have a clumsy eye, but I don't see it..."

"Don't think about it... Think about it, such neat people are like cutting knives and chopping axes, like foreigners from Baliqiao back then..."

Li Lianying nodded with a sudden realization, "Yes! If these soldiers wear foreign uniforms, they will be the same as those foreign soldiers. Even the gongs and drums they beat are foreign music..."

"That's not called Gongs and Drums, that's called military music. Back then, our soldiers would have weak legs whenever they heard this music. Now, we finally have such soldiers. The ancestors have spirits and the heavens have eyes. Even if I die, I will have the face to meet the ancestors of Dajin."

Cixi said, taking a handkerchief and wiping her eyes, as if she remembered the fire and her husband who left the world. Once upon a time, when the Jin Kingdom was not in power, the Taixi countries were destined to be stronger than the Jin Kingdom, but finally, today, the Dajin Jin also had such a strong army. If there were such soldiers in the past, how could the garden with a hundred years of hard work be burned?

Rong Shou hurriedly comforted him, "My mom, take care of your health. It is a happy thing for you to be strong and strong. You shouldn't be sad. Look at how strong this team is. The horse team and armor just now almost dazzled their daughter's eyes. The horse hooves are all in one go, but I have never seen such good methods. With such strong soldiers, it is the blessing of our ancestors, and it is the elderly who are good at using people. In the future, the people of great gold will all remember your benefits."

"There is no need to think about my benefits. They don't expect me to die sooner, so I will be content. But no matter what they think, with such a strong soldier, I finally leave some family background for the emperor, so that he can't do good things in the future. I blame me, a mother, for not leaving anything for him."

Cixi turned to Li Lianying and ordered: "Tell them that they stopped practicing and lined up for rewards. I want to appreciate them well, and I also want to see them in person. I have to take a closer look at what our future strong soldiers in Dajin look like."

"Master Buddha... You have to take care of yourself." Rong Shou hurriedly pulled Cixi's arm, but Cixi pushed it away. "It's okay, my body is strong. Don't look at you younger than me, if you really want to deal with your body, you are not as good as me. Lian Ying and Yugui helped me down and take a look."

As soon as she moved, no one dared to stay on the viewing platform. They all ran down and led the horse in front of them. The officers of the newly established army knelt in two rows on the road, shouting in their mouths to welcome the Queen Mother.

Although Zhao Guanhou is only a seventh rank, he is qualified to welcome the car because of Yuan Weiting's arrangement and can kneel in the first row, which is even higher than many fifth and sixth rank officials kneeling.

The empress dowager passed by, but was not allowed to look up, so she could only look down at her feet. After seeing countless pairs of official boots, the two pairs of official boots mixed with a pair of flower pots, she knew that the empress dowager passed by. Zhao Guanhou knew that he could not make friends with this old woman who was in power. What he thought about was whether to take a leave tonight and go back to see Hanzhi.
