Domineering Daming

Although Cao Huachun didn't understand, it didn't prevent him from following orders and arranging people to guard him.

Chapter 379

In the camp in the west of Beijing, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were lined up, with heads like forests, and the spirit was majestic. Soldiers were ordered on the battlefield.

On the high platform made of cement, Zhu Xu was dressed in a dragon robe, with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were solemn and majestic.

Behind him, stood Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu, Ping Wang, Jing Wang, Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang, Zhang Weixian and a group of important officials of the Ming Dynasty clan, each of whom was dressed in court uniform, with a cold and solemn expression.

In front of them, Zhang Zhiji was in armor, and he was in front of the infantry, and Zhao Lediao was in front of the cavalry, sitting on a tall horse.

On another high platform, Jin Guoqi held two flags and looked down at the two armies.

There were tens of thousands of people in the martial arts arena, and a gust of wind swept up the sky with light dust, covering the entire martial arts arena, making it even more terrifying.

"Wanjun Piyi, long live my emperor! Great drill, start!"

On the other side, a soldier shouted from a trumpet.Immediately, drums and drums rang together, resounding through the sky.

"Long live my emperor, kill! Kill! Kill!"

Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, soldiers armor danced, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Jin Guoqi waved the flag and shouted: "Practice, start!"

Zhao Ratejiao and Zhang Zhiji looked at each other from a distance, each mobilized their troops and horses, and moved like a tide like a mountain.

The stone platform where Zhu Xu and the others were standing rose slowly, and they stood on the edge, overlooking the grand rehearsal.

Like iron hooves, the cavalry taught by Zhao led the wind and sand, and they shuttled quickly like a torrent.

Zhang Zhiji's Jingxi camp also had 1 horses moving slowly, following the cavalry, and divided into three square formations, forming horns with each other, guarding each other, closely following the cavalry.

Zhu Xu watched from above and nodded secretly, finally looking a little better.

Standing beside Zhu Xu, Shen Yongmao also looked at the cavalry led by Zhao, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the cavalry of Zongbing Zhao should be worthy of a battle."

Here to say who is the most qualified to comment, it is Sun Chengzong, who knows the cavalry of Houjin very well.

Sun Chengzong didn't move his face and didn't speak.

Even if he didn't speak, everyone understood that the seemingly decent cavalry was far from Jiannu's opponent.

Sun Chuanting supported the railing with both hands, and explained knowingly: "It's not surprising. The slave builders grew up on horseback since they were young, and they can fight as soon as they get on the horse. If I want to compete with them, Daming, I need more training."

Sun Chengzong looked at the soldiers and horses below and refused to comment.

Zhu Xu listened all the time, and agreed in his heart, no matter how hard he practiced, it would still be just talk on paper.

A few of them said that the mobilization of the cavalry and infantry had been completed. The cavalry was in front, ready to charge, while the infantry, shield soldiers and archers were behind, with heavy and powerful steps, and the evil spirit rose.

After the infantry, the cannons were pushed out one after another, along the cement road, and the gates were arranged behind the military headquarters. The artillerymen were busy adjusting the height, filling the shells, and igniting the fire. Everything was in order, as if they were extremely proficient.

"Woooooooo..."

The loud horn sounded, and suddenly the cannons boomed, and the shells flew out one after another, heading straight for two kilometers away!

Boom boom boom!

The ground shook for a while, everything visible to the naked eye was blasted, and the dust billowed, drowning everything.

Zhu Xu held the binoculars in his hand, looked at the bombed place, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

This is obviously an improved cannon with a longer range and greater power.

Bi Maokang looked complacent, and took the opportunity to say to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, this cannon is powerful, has a long range, and is stable. With this cannon, there is no problem in defending the city. As long as you don't face cavalry, field battles are also a weapon against the enemy. "

Zhu Xu put down the binoculars and said, "Well, yes, we need to increase production. This kind of gun will be very useful."

What Zhu Xu is looking forward to now is not Liaodong, but the sea. This kind of cannon should be stronger than Europe now. With muskets, it is enough to fight the Dutch!

Sun Chengzong and others also had eager eyes. The army of the Ming Dynasty was not good at cavalry, so they could only make up for it with the benefit of weapons. This kind of cannon is definitely a sharp weapon!

The sound of the guns was rumbling, and the bombs rained, which completely changed the area, filled with gunpowder smoke and billowing dust.

At the same time, the cavalry led by Zhao also moved. At the front, about a thousand cavalry covered in iron armor moved around like a stream of iron, rushing forward.

Sun Chengzong took a look and said to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, this is the Iron Armored Army. It can completely destroy the enemy's first charge. After the cavalry catches up, it is enough to counterattack. Although it may not necessarily win, it will not be defeated."

This Iron Armored Army was actually left by Man Gui, and Zhu Xu had also read the Ministry of War's memorabilia, and knew its advantages and disadvantages.

It can't last long, it can't run for a long distance, its power is powerful but short-lived, it can only fight head-to-head in a short distance, and then it needs enough strength to support, otherwise it will be life and death.

On the martial arts arena, the Iron Armored Army rushed forward, sending out a stream of smoke, followed by other cavalry, followed by numerous infantry, majestic and murderous, looking from a distance, like an indestructible sharp arrow, piercing all obstacles!

As the drill continued, the army was released, and the scale became larger and larger. Even though it was not a real battlefield, there was still a ferocious air surging, the killing intent surging, and the fighting spirit boiling.

King Ping looked at it for a while, and said to Zhu Xu with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is much better than those previous guards."

As soon as his words fell, Zhang Weixian, the Englishman not far behind, twitched his face.

Shen Yongmao hugged his stomach and said with a smile: "What the prince said is that in the past, the guards had loose military discipline and were old and decayed. Now they have been reorganized and eliminated. They are all elites."

Sun Chengzong, King Lu and others all laughed and said nothing.

The first important thing for the new emperor to do when he ascended the throne was to clean up the military affairs. The camp in the west of Beijing was so close, so it was naturally the top priority.

Zhu Xu was also very satisfied. With this army, even if Houjin bypassed Shanhaiguan and entered the Great Wall, there would be no danger.

The people behind Zhu Xu were also very cheered up, and their hearts were filled with excitement.With such a strong army, why worry about building slaves!

It took more than an hour for the exercise to be over. Twenty thousand soldiers and horses turned around and came back, standing together under the high platform, with more and more evil spirits, and the strong wind was stirring.

"The drill is over, long live my emperor!"

Zhang Zhiji, who was at the front, waved a huge flag and shouted loudly.

"Long live my emperor, long live Daming!"

Twenty thousand soldiers and horses shouted loudly, and the sound of roaring sounded in the training field, echoed in the sky, and resounded through the sky.

Sun Chengzong also had great ambitions rising in his chest. Suddenly, he also knelt down on one knee and shouted to Zhu Xu: "Long live my emperor! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as Sun Chengzong knelt, Fu Changzong also came to his senses, knelt down hurriedly, and then shouted loudly.

Immediately after Ping Wang and others, and then Zhang Weixian, Xu Guangqi and others.

Standing there, Zhu Xu seemed as if the world was under his feet, and he really felt like he was on top of the world!
