When he led his army to war at the beginning of the year, in order to ensure the majesty of the emperor, he could not wear the short robes and short robes commonly used by green forest people like Fang Dongquan and others. However, in order to march or simply escape during the war, he could not wear Liu Ba.
The so-called emperor's attire made by Gou cannot even be worn by Li Xuan's ordinary clothes. Why, because Li Xuan is different from the past. He wears Confucian clothes, which are wide-sleeved robes and waved.
The kind that can take away the entire sky with a wave of your hand.
It's good to wear this kind of clothes to look polite and pick up girls, but if you want to wear it to escape, you have to worry!
Therefore, Li Xuante was depressed at that time. He was a dignified Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't even have to wear clothes. He couldn't bear this, so halfway through, he had someone simply sew a military uniform that would be used by later generations.
After I made it, I put it on and took a photo of it facing the ditch on the roadside. I thought it was okay and I became a lot more handsome. My appearance, which was only a five-point score at first, jumped to at least a six-point score, which is much better than most passers-by.
Before this expedition, he had several sets of special military uniforms specially sewn, so that he would not be torn between losing face and losing his life like the previous times.
However, the military uniforms made by Li Xuan made Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan quite dissatisfied.
The reason Liu Bagou had an objection was that this military uniform looked nondescript. Even though it made Li Xuan look more handsome, it did not conform to etiquette. Liu Bagou insisted that Li Xuan wear a wide-sleeved dragon robe to fight.
.
As for Fang Dongquan and the others, regardless of whether it looked good or not, and whether it was in compliance with etiquette or not, they and other generals hoped that Li Xuan could wear armor to prevent injuries on the battlefield.
However, whether it was Liu Bagou or Fang Dongquan, their objections were useless. Liu Bagou's objection was a matter of etiquette. Li Xuan said to him on the spot: On the day I ascend to the throne, will what I wear be appropriate?
It’s no need to ask, it’s definitely unreasonable. On the day of the enthronement ceremony, if it was an orthodox dynasty, the emperor would definitely have to wear a crown, but they were in the ravine at that time. It would be difficult to find the crown gown for Li Xuan.
I wore a yellow robe, the kind that was washed white, with a snake-like dragon embroidered on it, and it became the enthronement robe.
But is this what Liu Bagou can say?
Absolutely not!
The establishment of the Tang Dynasty and Li Xuan's ascension to the throne must comply with all etiquette requirements. Even if you tell lies with your eyes open, you must say so. Whoever said that what Li Xuan wore that day did not conform to etiquette is the emperor who denies Li Xuan.
position and the legitimacy of the Tang Dynasty.
This is basically equivalent to denying all Liu Bagou's efforts and dreams.
And this is something Liu Bagou will never tolerate!
Liu Bagou, who was defeated by Li Xuan and defeated his entire army, obediently shut his mouth and never mentioned again whether Li Xuan's military uniform was in line with the etiquette.
As for Fang Dongquan and the others, they wanted Li Xuan to wear armor and stomach when he went on an expedition, but before Li Xuan could object, he was scolded by Empress Dowager Bai.
What's the matter, you are all dead and you actually want my precious son to go into battle and fight in person!
Of course, Li Xuan knew that his mother, Queen Mother Bai, had a more important reason that she didn't say. You asked my precious son to wear such a heavy armor. How could you let my son escape if the war went against him?
When the issue of clothing rose to a political level, Liu Bagou shut up, Fang Dongquan also shut up, and then Li Xuan swaggered into a military uniform full of warlord flavor in the early Republic of China and became his Huangzhushan warlord
chief.
Not only did he put on this kind of military uniform that was nondescript in the eyes of outsiders, he also thought about getting a full set of formal military uniforms for the soldiers to wear in the future, so that the soldiers and generals would not have to wear messy short robes.
It doesn't matter if it looks good, the key is that others will know it's a group of bandits at a glance.
This is too embarrassing for the Tang Dynasty. After all, the Tang Dynasty is a serious dynasty. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. How can it be treated as a bandit all the time? How can it be done without military uniforms!
However, Li Xuan himself couldn't decide when to issue the standard military uniforms, because making the same military uniforms for hundreds of people would require a lot of fabrics, and the impoverished Tang Dynasty did not have such a lot of fabrics in its warehouses, so what?
The time to configure military uniforms depends on when you can grab a large amount of fabric.
This matter is just like overthrowing the Ming Dynasty. You can't rush, you have to take your time!
As for whether the army that relies on robbing cloth to make military expenditures is a bandit, it doesn't matter.
As a human being, don’t be too serious about many things. Life is tiring when taking everything seriously!
After Li Xuan, who had washed and dressed, came out of the tent, he saw that the soldiers were all ready. Before Li Xuan got up, Fang Dongquan and the others got up early and asked the cooks to light a fire for cooking. At this time, the soldiers began to eat.
.
Thanks to the robbery of Fengjiazhuang the day before yesterday, there is no shortage of food in the army, and there is also a small amount of vegetables and even meat. Therefore, the food for the soldiers in the past two days is quite good. Not to mention the white rice, each person can eat so much.
A slice of pork cut as thin as a cicada.
Many soldiers feel that if they eat a few more meals like this, even if they die in battle tomorrow, it will be worth it. They can eat enough white rice every day and eat meat every day. Where can they find it these days, even the ones in their hometown?
Landlords can't live like this either.
This is indeed true. In the past, the Li family was considered a typical rural landowner, but they were not able to eat rice every day and eat meat every day.
In fact, the small landowners in ancient times had a very hard life, especially in terms of food. Any random loser in later generations would have better food than the small landowners in ancient times.
When the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain were having breakfast, the Ming army not far away was also having breakfast in a tacit understanding. As for what they were eating, Li Xuan was not able to know.
After breakfast, the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain began to take action. It seemed that they were setting off to continue back to the mountain. However, this was only on the surface. In fact, when they set off, two teams of musketeers were quietly lurking on the side of the road.
After the spearmen made a big fanfare and made it look like the whole army had fled, Wang Shanxu led two teams of musketeers to ambush on the roadside, waiting for the Ming army to chase them, and then fired several rounds of volleys to hit him.
of.
Because of the distance, and also because of the confusion deliberately created by the Huangzhushan bandits when they set out, Ying Tianhu behind them didn't even notice that the Huangzhushan bandits had not finished their march at all.
When the Huangzhushan bandits set out, he immediately set off with more than a hundred people under his command to chase them. Last night, he received an order from Diao Leixun to keep an eye on these pseudo-Tang bandits.
, waiting for the main force of the Ming army composed of Tong'an Qianhu Station, Fairy Shi Qianhu Station and Fucheng soldiers to catch up and annihilate the main force of these thieves.
However, he had just walked two miles with his people when he felt something was wrong. The number of puppet Tang rebels who escaped in front seemed wrong.
However, before he could react, he suddenly heard a snapping sound. This sound was quite familiar to him. It was the sound of a fire gun being fired, and it was also the sound of a long fire gun used by the puppet Tang bandit army.
When he heard the gunshot, his face instantly turned extremely pale: Oh no, we were ambushed!
