Chapter 362 The first goose-stepping parade in history (Second update)
But at this moment, with the cover of those drums, the ministers who were just whispering unconsciously raised their voices.
The center of their discussion at the moment was Gao Zhang, who was already wearing a purple robe at a young age. Speaking of which, it was because of the rumors that had been widely circulated during this period.
It is said that this child prodigy had a good family background, inherited his father's legacy, and was proficient in military strategy. He was even better than his predecessors, and he created an unprecedented method of military training.
In this spring review, the child prodigy champion came in and out of the Palace Commander's mansion to make plans, and he contributed a lot.
However, these rumors fell on the ears of those officials, and everyone did not accept them.
I even thought that this was most likely Gao Qiu, a lieutenant who rose to power by playing football, and was talking nonsense everywhere in order to praise his own son.
As for some military officials who swore that Gao Zhang did have several brushes, they, gentle scholars, all showed meaningful expressions when they heard this.
You guys are vulgar warriors, and you must not even be good at flattering. You saw the ball-playing lieutenant there touting his own son.
In addition to dancing with guns and sticks, you guys are just the generals of the Palace Commander's Palace who are very brave and fierce. Naturally, you can't tell the true face of Gao Qiu and his son in Lushan. So you just join in the same trend and make a fool of yourself.
Liu Zhongwu and a group of military officials stood up at this moment, and they all looked towards the phalanx that was heading this way.
Liu Zhongwu was quite nervous, not for anything else but because his own son Liu Qi was now in this phalanx of sword and shield hands, marching at the forefront as the squad leader.
It can be said that many young generals almost broke their heads for this eye-catching and coquettish position.
But in the end, his own son Liu Qi, who walked around the mansion of Captain Gao all the time, finally won the unanimous approval of a group of generals with his most standard and handsome walking and military posture.
Of course, Gao Zhang's contribution is indispensable here. Erlang Liu Qi had told himself that he frequently went to Gao Taiwei's residence in order to get guidance from Gao Zhang, a young military training master.
After all, this kind of military posture, walking posture, and even actions such as wielding a knife, raising a gun, holding a flag, etc. were all made by Gao Zhang, and no one knew the secrets better than him.
This made Liu Zhongwu secretly glad that this Erlang, who used to be a bit confident and a bit unruly among the young nephews.
To be able to have a close relationship with this wise nephew of Guizhang, who is favored by the official family, and even to be able to humbly ask for advice from this young man who is several years younger than him, this is really the best thing.
And Gao Guizhang, at such a young age, not only speaks and acts without childishness, but even after you have an in-depth communication with him, you can completely forget his age and his childish voice.
He is indeed a child prodigy who was able to win the first prize at the age of eleven. It is no wonder that he is so favored by the officials. He has been given a purple goldfish bag less than a year after joining the officialdom.

Naturally, Zhao Ji, an official, would not stand there and look around like that vulgar warrior.
Instead, he maintained the majesty of the Song Dynasty official family and continued to sit calmly, waiting for the arrival of the phalanx of sword and shield hands.
At that time, that team was less than a hundred steps away from the viewing platform where the official Zhao Ji and others were, as well as the general-pointing platform.
Gao Qiu, who was still a little nervous at first, couldn't help but look back in the direction of his son.
Then he raised his arms and made a gesture.
The drum sound that was originally quite shocking suddenly fell silent.
This made everyone confused. Why, the drums were all broken? Or maybe Captain Gao Qiu gave the wrong military order?
Official Zhao Ji couldn't help but frown slightly and looked diagonally ahead at Gao Qiu, who was on the general's stage.
I really don’t know what to say. Your Gaoqing family is the number one military official in the Song Dynasty. How could you make such a mistake? For this reason alone, you are far inferior to that little Gao from your family.
The official Zhao Ji, after all, took Gao Qiu's face as the host of this parade into consideration and did not say anything.
As a result, he saw Gao Qiu wearing a helmet and raised his arm again.
"Hey, official, look, that team is not in chaos at all..."
Yang Jian's whispered reminder came to his ears. Official Zhao Ji turned his head slightly and saw the phalanx of hundreds of people, still moving forward, even though there was no sound of drums anymore.
However, the rhythm of their steps still seemed so vigorous and vigorous, without any disorder.
At this time, both the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty on the viewing platform and the common people in Tokyo who were isolated outside the school grounds all shut up their whispers.
In this team, the twenty-five soldiers at the front all held a flag, and further ahead, there was a flag bearer holding a larger flag.
On his left and right, there was a sword and shield bearer on each side, and the squad leader Liu Qi was marching at the front.
The moment the drum beat stopped, Liu Qi blew the bamboo whistle in his mouth immediately.
As he approached the viewing platform, which was less than sixty steps away, Liu Qi shouted loudly, "Go forward!"
Then more than 350 soldiers in the phalanx of swords, shields and swords behind him shouted "One! Two!" in unison as if they were one person.
Accompanied by the roar, the originally slow-moving phalanx suddenly changed. All the swords at the waist of sword and shield hands were unsheathed and pointed toward the sky, and then they stood in front of them, with low round shields protecting their sides.
And under their feet, they stepped out in uniform, passionate and heroic steps.
At this moment, the eyes of the people inside and outside the school were all shocked by the momentum displayed by the sword and shield wielders, as well as their uniform formation, which could be compared with a ruler.
That neat and uniform military posture shocked everyone present. Even the official Zhao Ji, who had only been sitting quietly, couldn't help but stand up.
Yes, in the past, the steps of the soldiers followed the drumbeats, the troops were lined up, and the flags were flying. That was it. At most, they only shouted a few more slogans.
But now, the group of soldiers in front of them have become the focus of the entire Spring Parade of the Song Dynasty just by virtue of their military appearance, their pace, and their formation.
"...There was not even the sound of drums, but they were able to walk so neatly and with high morale. This, this..."
"I have never seen or heard of such a vigorous military posture, such a neat formation..."
At this moment, the sword and shield hand phalanx had marched about 20 steps in front of the auditorium. With a sharp shout from the squad leader Liu Qi, he then looked towards the direction of the auditorium.
Everyone in the entire phalanx behind them looked towards the viewing platform...
When the entire phalanx team came to the front of the viewing platform, Qi Qi shouted loudly again,
The entire formation, all the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, shouted loudly and uniformly.
"Long live your Majesty, the Song Dynasty will be victorious, Long live your Majesty, the Song Dynasty will be victorious..."
The roar of hundreds of people, like one person, instantly spread throughout the school grounds. After three shouts.
The voice suddenly subsided again, and the team continued to move forward and walked dozens of steps before returning to normal marching.
At this moment, the sound of war drums sounded again, and the phalanx waiting to be inspected in the distance began to march towards this side.
Standing behind the official, Yang Jian looked at Yang Jian, whose mind was swaying, and he felt that he was trembling with excitement from the majestic and pure manly aura.
Seeing the official's face turning red, he turned his head and gave instructions to him quickly and quickly.
"Where's Xiao Gao? Let him come to me quickly. Go quickly!"
At this moment, the second phalanx, the Archer's phalanx, was about to reach its designated position and was about to march forward.
Cai Jing stared blankly at the phalanx of sword and shield hands that had left the viewing platform and was getting further and further away. He couldn't help but turn his head and look towards Gao Zhang.
Tong Guan looked at the two beards he had just pulled off with great distress. He couldn't help but look at Gao Zhang, who was wearing a purple robe and squatting with his beloved son Tong Zhisheng and Cai Laoliu.
passed...
