Chapter 142: Praise the Parade

On August 24, Tianjin Acropolis paraded through the streets to praise the soldiers who had won Fanjiazhuang's victory.

Fanjiazhuang is only forty miles away from the Acropolis and is connected to it. Once Fanjiazhuang is captured, Zhenghuang Banner can march to Tianjin City in one day. Therefore, the people of Tianjin City all know that the victory of Fanjiazhuang means that Tianjin City can be saved.

Safety. The people of Tianjin were very happy to defend their troops, so He Shishou arranged this parade to praise them.

Parading the streets were Fanjiazhuang Huben Division and other troops from Tianjin. The leader was of course the Huben Division, which had "made the greatest contribution". Li Zhi led a thousand soldiers from the Selected Front Regiment to represent the Huben Division and walked at the front. The Selected Front Regiment

A thousand veterans lined up in a square formation of twenty fifty men, entered the city from Anxi Gate, walked through the Governor's Yamen from Xicheng Heng Street, then walked to Dongcheng Heng Street, paraded in front of the people to praise their achievements, and finally walked out from the east gate of the town.

Acropolis.

People who flocked to Hengda Street to watch the warriors parade crowded the road. Both sides of Hengdae Street and the streets and alleys bordering Hengdae Street were full of people. The common people crowded here and there, just wanting to take a closer look at the warrior who defeated the Tatars.

What does a warrior look like? I heard that Fanjiazhuang's soldiers can fight Tatars as if they were two. I wonder how tough these soldiers are?

Under the gaze of the villagers and elders on both sides of the road, the soldiers of the Selective Group were extremely proud. They did not carry guns at this time, but each wore a short knife. They straightened their chests one by one, and put their right hands empty on the

On the scabbards, a straight line of people stood and marched forward.

The neat pace and formation attracted waves of admiration from the people nearby!

"Fanjiazhuang's soldiers are so mighty!"

"What a neat queue, fifty people walking as if they were one person!"

"No wonder they can defeat the Tatars. They are all heroes who are one in a hundred!"

Many people brought out their own home-brewed rice wine and poured glass after glass for the soldiers of the Selection Corps to drink. As the soldiers of the Selection Corps walked in the queue, they gulped down the rice wine handed to them on both sides. After drinking, they put the wine bowls away.

As soon as the people nearby stopped, the people helped the soldiers pass the wine bowls back. Some wealthy households thanked the officers and soldiers for defeating the Tatars and for helping them save their heads and property, and they all took out exquisite pastries and gave them to the electors.

The soldiers of the Front Regiment, the soldiers ate as they walked, eating all the way.

Behind the vanguard selection group, there were scattered soldiers and horses from other roads in Tianjin. These soldiers and horses were just here to make up the numbers. They walked sparsely and unorganized, which made the people watching muttering in their hearts - these weak soldiers can also defeat the Tartars.

Son? They are probably all responsible for waving flags and shouting on the battlefield, right?

Although these officers and soldiers did not fare well, they were actually the "heroes" of this battle - these soldiers all shared the merits of this battle, and when publicizing to the outside world, they said that they were heroes who had fought in battle. These soldiers were afraid of others saying

If they get something for nothing, they will definitely not tell the truth that they did not go into battle.

The common people murmured in their hearts, and were not so enthusiastic about the scattered soldiers and horses. They just stood there and watched the soldiers walk by. Occasionally, one or two common people would hand over drinks, which would make these soldiers smile with joy.

Li Zhi was wearing the flying fish suit and jade belt given by the emperor, riding a Wusun BMW, and walked proudly at the front of the entire team - yesterday, the flying fish suit and jade belt given by the emperor were quickly delivered to Fanjiazhuang. The emperor passed down the imperial edict.

, praised Li Zhi for his great contribution in killing Yangu Li, and called Li Zhi a hero.

It is a great honor to be praised by the emperor and given a flying fish suit and a jade belt.

The flying fish suit is embroidered with a "flying fish" with teeth and claws. Most of the body of the flying fish resembles a big python, with horns, but the tail is a fish tail. This flying fish suit, which resembles a python suit and is paired with a jade belt, is very majestic in shape.

Let Li Zhi become the focus of the audience.

Where Li Zhi rode, the people cheered loudly, all happy to have such a majestic military attache in Tianjin.

There were people in front of Li Zhi, who were servants from the governor's office. Every time Li Zhi walked a certain distance, a servant from the governor's office would take out firecrackers and set them off. The crackling sound of firecrackers made the atmosphere of the entire parade even more lively.

The further we walked, the more people were watching. People were standing on both sides of the road with rice wine and well water, and the road was blocked. There were also people climbing on the roofs on both sides of the road to watch, and they didn’t know if it was possible.

The tiled roofs of the houses were trampled and broken. Seeing that there was no way ahead, the governor's Yamen people took strings of firecrackers and threw them forward to scare away the people blocking the road, and then they found the way forward.

Walking to the gate of the governor's yamen, He Shishou led a dozen civil servants from the Tianjin Guard to stand at the yamen gate in person. Li Zhi glanced over and saw Lu Hualin, a colleague of the Qing Military Department, also standing there. His precious brother Lu Huarong stood behind the officials.

He leaned over and looked in Li Zhi's direction.

Seeing the flying fish suit on Li Zhi, Lu Huarong's face turned pale and seemed to be very afraid - this flying fish suit represented the emperor's appreciation. How far will Li Zhi go in his career? Will he bear his own grudge?

Even Zhi Lu Hualin also had some regrets - he shouldn't have favored his younger brother at that time, he should have beaten Lu Huarong dozens of times to relieve Li Zhi's anger. Now Li Zhi is on the rise and has been promoted to six levels in a row. I really don't know when he will be promoted.

It’s just a head! I don’t know if he still remembers Lu Huarong’s breath.

When He Shishou saw Li Zhi, he stroked his beard, looked at Li Zhi, and nodded. He poured a glass of Jinhua wine for Li Zhi who was riding on the horse and handed it to Li Zhi. Li Zhi quickly jumped off the horse.

, holding the wine and drinking it down in one gulp, shouting "Good wine."

He Shishou looked at the well-organized selection team behind Li Zhi, nodded and said: "As expected, they are all good men of my Ming Dynasty! No wonder they can defeat Dongnu."

He Shishou poured another glass of wine for Li Zhi and a glass of wine for himself, then passed the wine jar to the back and asked a dozen civil servants to fill the wine glasses. Then he raised the wine glass and said: "I lead Tianjin

Civil servants have a toast!”

Li Zhi drank all the sweet wine and said, "I would like to thank the governor! Thank you all!"

He Shishou led the civil servants to drink the shochu in one gulp.

After drinking two glasses of soju, Li Zhi continued to ride forward. Other parading generals also arrived at the governor's office one after another. He Shishou stopped pouring wine for these meritorious generals. Servants came up to pour the wine.

He Shishou dipped his mouth into the wine glass as a toast.

Li Zhi went all the way east and led a thousand soldiers of the Selected Frontier Regiment to ride to the vicinity of Jingbianfang in the east of the city. He saw that the original neighbors had already lined up on both sides of the road, leaving only a small road for the Selected Frontier Regiment to pass through.

.

"Li Zhi is here! Look! Look! Li Zhi is here!"

"Brother Zhi has returned in triumph. It is said that he killed more than 1,500 enemies!"

"Ah! Why is Brother Zhi wearing a dragon robe? Only the emperor can wear a dragon robe?"

"You idiot, look clearly, that's a python robe, for officials to wear!"

"No, that's not a python robe, that's the flying fish suit given by the emperor. Although it looks like a python, it's not a python!"

Li Zhi was riding on his horse, walking through the intersection of Jingbianfang, and heard the neighbors calling him affectionately.

"Brother Zhi! Brother Zhi! Do you still remember me? I am Zhao San, who sold you oil!"

"Brother Zhi! I'm Chen Deyu! I'm even taking you to buy alkaline noodles!"

"Li Zhi! Li Zhi! I am Mrs. Lin! You have grown so fast now! Do you still remember me, Mrs. Lin?"

Li Zhi could not answer the calls of the neighbors one by one. He only rode on his horse and bowed to the neighbors in vain, and said loudly: "If Li Zhi can be promoted this time, he will go back to Jingbianfang to set up a flowing banquet someday, and invite all the neighbors to gather together."

Get together."

Upon hearing these words, the crowd in Jingbianfang suddenly burst into applause.
