After the sound of war drums, an army appeared in the distance, marching towards them in neat formation.
Accompanied by the chant of one, two, one, the Liberation Army raised their legs in unison up and down, and then landed on the ground.
The leather boots hit the ground with a loud thud!
Boom! Boom!
Then there were bursts of neat shouts.
"Drive out the Tartars, restore China, rebuild the Ming Dynasty, and revive China!"
"Drive out the Tartars, restore China, rebuild the Ming Dynasty, and revive China!"
"..."
The uniform shouts drowned out the sound of war drums and footsteps.
As they got closer to the high platform, the Liberation Army began to change from walking in unison to marching in goose.
Everyone followed the call and raised their legs neatly to the ground. Their leather boots hit the ground heavily with a loud voice.
The kicks are like lightning, the kicks are like cannonballs!
Everyone raises and lowers their legs in the same movement, even down to how high they lift their legs, how far they take each step, and the distance and time.
With a swish sound, the muskets in the hands of the troops being reviewed changed from leaning on their shoulders to pointing diagonally forward.
With a snap, everyone moved in unison, and the bayonet of the musket pointed at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
The sharp bayonet was only a few inches away from the neck of the person in the front row!
risk!
Extremely dangerous!
But at this moment, the review team of a thousand people seemed to be carved out of the same mold!
No matter if you look at it horizontally, vertically or diagonally, it’s all a line!
The armor and uniforms of the troops being reviewed reflected the dazzling sunlight, which highlighted the soldiers as if they were soldiers from heaven and generals descending from heaven.
This scene made everyone near the high platform fall into a daze. Have they ever seen such a scene before?!
It’s so neat, it’s so neat!
There is only one sentence left in everyone's mind!
Except for Zhu Hongyu, everyone gasped and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
"How magnificent!"
"How magnificent are the officers and soldiers of our Liberation Army!"
Liu Tongwen's body was trembling, but his eyes were staring unblinkingly in the direction of the troops being reviewed.
If the Ming Dynasty had such an elite soldier, how could the Tatars take over the world?!
Although the queue is moving well, it does not mean that the combat effectiveness is necessarily strong.
But it represents the orders and prohibitions of this army!
Not all strong soldiers may follow orders and prohibitions, but those who can do so will definitely be strong soldiers!
After the troops were paraded under the high platform, they shouted the slogan again.
The voice of driving out the Tartars and restoring China resounded from high to high!
Parade behind these infantry was the artillery unit of the Liberation Army.
Soldiers dragged large and small artillery pieces into the field. The cannons were dark and reflected the luster of metal, which was also very shocking.
The artillery ranges from large to small, including artillery made by the Liberation Army itself and artillery captured from the Spanish.
The largest one was a thirty-six-pound muzzle-loading smoothbore cannon!
Made of copper, with a thick black barrel, it was captured from the Fort of St. Jones!
The Liberation Army's weapons workshop has been conquered, and the technology of casting twenty-four-pound cannons with iron films is still being explored, but the thirty-six-pound cannon is still being explored.
Behind the artillery is a group of grenadiers from the Liberation Army!
Grenadiers are all composed of soldiers with strong bodies and amazing arm strength.
They wear breastplates and each carry a certain amount of grenades. During wartime, they are often on the front line facing the enemy.
Braving the enemy's gunfire and throwing grenades at the enemy's array cannot be done unless you are a veteran with a firm will to fight and extraordinary courage.
The grenadiers walked under the high platform with their heads held high!
The arrogance unique to elite soldiers is very obvious. Only when they look at the figure on the high platform, the pride in their eyes will disappear and turn into pure reverence.
…
With the end of the military parade, the opening ceremony of the Liberation Army military government has also come to an end.
But right after, it was Zhu Hongyu’s wedding!
Zhu Hongyu changed out of his military uniform and put on a brand new groom's official attire.
The bright red dress diluted some of Zhu Hongyu's murderous spirit!
It turned out that Zhu Hongyu was still thinking about holding the wedding in military uniform, but after thinking about it later, he felt it was inappropriate.
Weddings inevitably involve worshiping heaven, earth and the high hall. It was inappropriate for him to kneel down while wearing a military uniform, even if the person was an elder.
During the wedding ceremony, Zhu Hongyu took Li Lingxiu and Kaya to salute the Li family's aunt who was sitting high up.
Zhu Hongyu's father died at sea two years ago, and his other elders all died tragically while fleeing south. If you want to worship Gaotang, you can only worship the bride's elders.
Besides, in Zhu Hongyu's memory, Aunt Li had taken good care of him since he was a child, and she was not much different from his mother.
It's just right for her to be the Gao Tang!
After paying homage to Aunt Li, Zhu Hongyu served tea to Sanchez as a junior.
In this wedding, the protagonists are Zhu Hongyu and Li Lingxiu, and Li Lingxiu is Zhu Hongyu's main wife.
The reason for this, apart from the feelings between Zhu Hongyu and Li Lingxiu, is more for political considerations.
Zhu Hongyu will imitate Zhu Yuanzhang in the future to drive out the Tartars, restore China, and recreate the Ming Dynasty.
His wife must be a pure Han Chinese!
He can marry a foreign woman as a concubine, but she can never marry him.
Otherwise, because of the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines, the succession to the throne will be a big trouble in the future!
But in order to take care of the emotions of the crocodile tribe and other mountain people, Zhu Hongyu did not really treat Kaya as a concubine.
Marry her with the courtesy of an equal wife!
He also served tea to Sanchez in public as a junior. Although Zhu Hongyu did not worship Sanchez, his attitude was in place.
The wedding ceremony is over, and then comes the banquet.
The military government has set up running water mats throughout Lingayen. As long as they are under the military government, whether they are Chinese or mountain people, they can eat the mats as long as they say a few auspicious words.
Even the Liberation Army was ordered to reward, and a large amount of wine, meat, food, and gold and silver were transported into the military camp.
Except for those on duty and on guard, everyone else was free to eat and drink.
There were even opera troupes singing for the soldiers in the military camp!
In the government office of the military government, after Zhu Hongyu sent the two brides into the bridal chamber, he walked among the guests holding a wine glass, toasting and drinking with everyone.
However, even though he drank a lot of wine, Zhu Hongyu didn’t look drunk on his face!
It's not that he never gets drunk after a thousand cups, but because what he drinks is not wine at all, but water.
The white water was poured into the white porcelain cup, and it looked no different from the wine. Besides, who would be serious about this kind of thing with Zhu Hongyu?
Li Guangyuan was already a little drunk, so he held Zhu Hongyu's hand, showing his drunken state, and said nonchalantly.
"When I was a child, I saw that Brother Yu and Lingxiu could get together!"
"At that time, we were all still young, and we would have arguments from time to time. Instead of helping my brother, Lingxiu, she helped brother Yu..."
Li Guangyuan burped and kept talking about his childhood.
Zhu Hongyu just smiled, and Li Guangyuan continued.
"Now that Brother Yu and Lingxiu are married, I'm happy, I'm very happy!"
"I want to help Brother Yu build a huge empire, and let my nephew be the emperor in the future!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhu Hongyu still had a smile on his face and said.
