Li Qi spent a lot of money on this military parade. He bought fifty trebuchets of all models. When these fifty trebuchets passed through the square with the cooperation of 800 people,
Everyone held their breath and stared blankly at the stone-removing trucks.
This may be called the first armored division in history.
This is undoubtedly a military feast, this is undoubtedly a sword show of the Song Dynasty, and this moment will undoubtedly be recorded in the annals of history.
But this is just the surface. In fact, it is full of bitterness and helplessness. Just like the origin of these weapons, they were all forced out.
The most important reason why the weapons of the Song Dynasty were so developed was because of the lack of horses. The most terrible thing is that all the opponents of the Song Dynasty had enough horses, so the Song Dynasty usually used infantry to fight against the cavalry.
Make a judgment.
It is precisely because of this that the rulers of the Song Dynasty urgently needed advanced weapons to shorten this gap, and long-range strikes were the best weapons to destroy the opponent's charge, so there were such things as divine arm bows, bed crossbows, etc.
Waiting for long-range strike weapons.
But then again, if the Song Dynasty had enough horses, who would do this thing?
Is this why Li Qi arranged this military parade?
Show your sword! This sounds so domineering, but does a real master need to show his sword? As Ma Qiao said, I can defeat others with my bare hands, so why do I need a sword?
Even if you have to use your sword, you should use it on the battlefield, when you are killing the enemy.
Li Qi didn't want to do this, but the reality was that on the real battlefield, he was beaten by the enemy and ran away without even showing his sword.
But precisely because of this, this military parade is even more important.
To put it bluntly, this is a show directed by Li Qi. One of his purposes is to make Song Huizong happy and satisfy his vanity. There is no distinction between loyalty and treachery. This is just what a courtier should do. Li Qi
Since Qi has chosen this road of no return, there is only one way to go to the dark side and keep climbing up. Otherwise, I am afraid he will be severely trampled under his feet. To make the emperor happy, he will naturally get
More; secondly, it is for the people to see. Let them regain their confidence in the Song Dynasty army. If even the people lose confidence, then the country will be in trouble; thirdly, it is for those Jin people to see.
Yes, the right way is to know yourself and the enemy, and win every battle. Today's Jin people have seen the weakness and incompetence of the Song Dynasty. Li Qi wants to change the Jin people's impression of the Song Dynasty army, at least not to mention the Song Dynasty army. He immediately thinks of it.
Ladies, although this is true, it is so shabby.
After a while, the artillery regiment walked across the square.
This was so exciting. The people's throats were hoarse.
Song Huizong was also very happy to see it, and asked: "Li Qi, what's next?"
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to review your soldiers."
Song Huizong was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "Didn't they just review it?"
Sweat! When will you review? Li Qi said sarcastically: "Just now the soldiers asked the emperor to review, but you haven't reviewed yet, Your Majesty."
"Then what should I do?"
"Well, let's go downstairs first, the time is coming."
When Song Huizong heard this, he quickly got up and walked downstairs, followed by a group of civil and military ministers.
At this time, Heshi Liebohe suddenly ran to Li Qi's side and whispered: "Doctor Li, is that soldier just now your elite from the Southern Dynasty?"
Hey. It seems that my military parade worked. Li Qi shook his head and said: "No, it can only be regarded as the middle or upper level."
Are these not the most elite soldiers? He Shiliebohe couldn't help but turned pale in shock and asked hurriedly: "Then who are the most elite soldiers in your country?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course it's the Northwest Army."
"Northwestern Army?" Heshi Liebohe frowned and said, "I've heard about this too. Is the Northwest Army stationed in Xixia?"
"yes."
"Then what kind of troops did your country send to attack Liao this time?"
Li Qi sighed and said: "To be honest, I have already said this before. Your country was pressing hard at the beginning, but we were too careless, thinking that the Liao Kingdom was just a lost dog, so we sent some soldiers there.
, do you know who the soldiers are?"
Heshi Liebohe shook his head.
"Actually, the soldiers are made up of refugees."
"That's it." Heshi Liebohe nodded slightly.
Li Qi glanced at him secretly, saw his thoughtful expression, and smiled to himself, let's see if I don't fool you to death.
During the conversation, a group of people came downstairs and saw a luxury cart pulled by eight vigorous white horses covered with gorgeous decorations, followed by several cars pulled by two horses.
carriage.
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, please get in the car quickly."
Where everyone had any opinions, they did whatever Li Qi said and got on the carriage one after another according to their positions.
Li Qi rode a maroon horse. He was originally going to ride a white horse, but since Zhao Kai was already riding a white horse, he felt that he could not beat Zhao Kai, so he changed to a maroon horse. He could ride on a white horse.
Even though he is so busy, he still cares about this, which shows that he is also a big slut.
Li Qi led a hundred powerful officials to clear the way, followed by Song Huizong and the prince, and the rest of the ministers and Jin envoys were at the end.
A group of people started from Donghua Gate and headed south along Maxing Street.
When they passed the first square formation, which was the honor guard in sky-blue military uniforms, they saw the soldiers raising their right hands and shouting in unison: "Long live the Emperor, long live the Song Dynasty."
Song Huizong was in high spirits, but he didn't know what to say. He could only say: "My warriors have worked hard."
When Li Qi heard these words, he almost fell off his horse. He was really self-taught. In fact, he didn't teach Song Huizong what to say, because there was no microphone now. If Song Huizong shouted all the way,
, he had to shout until he was speechless.
I saw phalanxes standing on both sides of the street, and tall and strong figures appeared in everyone's field of vision. The shouts of "Long live the emperor, long live the Song Dynasty" can't help but make people feel bored, but instead bring tears to their eyes.
At this moment, the generals and soldiers were finally proud and proud, overpowering the seemingly weak literati. Whether it was Song Huizong, civil and military officials, or ordinary people, they were infected by the stern faces.
Li Qi was riding in the front, and he was so coquettish. Suddenly, he saw a carriage parked behind the crowd. It was Qiniang's carriage. He felt happy and waved his hand in that direction.
With this wave of his hand, everyone turned to look. Li Qi suddenly came to his senses, quickly restrained himself, and put on a majestic look.
After the review, Song Huizong and others returned to the city tower from the east corner tower, and the square formations also lined up back to the square in an orderly manner, forming neat rows.
Due to the continuous revelations in the Song Dynasty Times Magazine, all the people knew what was going to happen next, that is, they signed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom, and the Song Dynasty was going to regain the six states of Yanyun. Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes gathered on the tower.
.
Today, Song Huizong was ready to go all out. His voice was almost smoking when he shouted. As soon as he arrived at the city tower, the considerate Liang Shicheng brought a cup of tea. Song Huizong drank it all in one gulp, smashed it a few times, and suddenly turned toward the Jin envoy.
They asked: "What do you think of our soldiers of the Song Dynasty?"
The envoys of the Kingdom of Jin were all stunned and couldn't help but look at each other.
Heshi Liebohe clicked his tongue and praised: "Your Majesty's warriors are all good men worth ten, and we admire them endlessly."
When Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty heard this, Long Yan was overjoyed and burst into laughter.
Boss, you have to laugh at me. You have to fight for some energy in the future. Don’t just accept the merits and run away if you make mistakes. If you keep playing like this, even if I want to help you, I can’t. Li Qi listened to Song.
Huizong's laughter brought mixed emotions to his heart.
After everyone took a short rest, they began to prepare for the handover ceremony. Song Huizong sat high on the dragon chair, looking down at all living beings, making him look very majestic, while the envoys of the Song and Jin Dynasties were seated on the left and right of the dragon chair.
After the eunuch screamed, Wang Fu and He Shiliebohe took a step forward at the same time. They stood on the left and right of Song Huizong, each holding their respective credentials, and exchanged them in front of Song Huizong.
The moment Wang Fu got the certificate of credence, there was a roar of firecrackers and gongs and drums.
Everyone knelt down on the ground and shouted, "Long live the Emperor, long live the Song Dynasty."
Song Huizong enjoyed this moment too much.
After a while, he suddenly nodded and said, "Read the imperial edict."
I saw Li Bangyan holding the imperial edict in front of the city tower and reading it aloud. The first part mainly praised Huizong of the Song Dynasty for his literary and martial arts skills, which were comparable to those of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. Then he talked about the feat of recovering Yanyun. Anyway, it was a long speech, and he was going to die.
Blowing, Li Qi was drowsy standing on the tower.
But not to mention, so far, Song Huizong has passed away, but he is really lucky, especially in terms of territory, he has been in the stage of expansion. In the middle of his reign, he once sent generals
Wang Hou eliminated the Qingtang Qiang regime and recovered the Qingtang area that had been in the hands of the Tubos for more than 300 years since the mid-Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Daguan, he sent Tong Guan to expedition to the remnants of the Qingtang Dynasty, and has been on an expedition to the vicinity of Qiemo County in Xinjiang.
, once controlled the southeastern region of the Western Region, now whether it is begging or luck, in general he has recovered the six states of Yanyun, this cannot be denied.
Moreover, even the final demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was, to be precise, at the hands of his son Zhao Huan and had nothing to do with him. Li Qi could only lament that Song Huizong was too shrewd, but the eyes of the masses were sharp.
, he is still ranked first or second on the list of foolish kings.
At the end of the edict, Li Bangyan suddenly shouted the words "Amnesty to the whole world".
This was a big deal, and it directly pushed the atmosphere to the climax. The whole people was excited, and the "Long Live" shook the heaven and the earth. (To be continued...)
