I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen went to Yulinwei and asked Li Zhiming to recruit 2000 people, who were required to be about the same height. He followed Li Shen to the academy.

Li Shen invited Xue Rengui, Li Jing, and Li Zhiming, and the four of them began to discuss martial arts. This military lecture was different from previous ones. The plan proposed by Li Shen was novel and could show off the elegance of a soldier.

So the four people coincided with each other, and then Li Shen started to talk about how to parade.

Li Shen brought out the military parade ceremony from his previous life. As a patriotic young man in his previous life, Li Shen saw two major military parades, the 15th anniversary of anti-fascism in 19, and the large-scale military parade ceremony for the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in [-]. Li Shen watched it from beginning to end, and often saw videos of my country’s military parade in short videos.

Based on the current situation of the division of arms, he needed to display all the arms of the Tang Dynasty.

The infantry chooses spearmen and sword soldiers, the cavalry chooses heavy cavalry, and the equipment soldiers include crossbows, siege vehicles, and finally archers and so on. There were also students’ official formations that belonged to the generals, and they were studied until night.

The next day began to prepare equipment, including weapons and equipment for the Beiya Imperial Army. There was only half a month, so Li Shen couldn't ask for perfection.

But at least there must be uniformity, so these 2000 people have suffered. The first batch of Habayashi Guards students are responsible for training. Li Zhiming personally supervises, and if he doesn't do it right, he will be whipped.

Li Shen prepared cavalry, swordsmen, spearmen, archers, and baggage phalanx. It includes siege engines, ladders, bed crossbows, trebuchets, etc., all of which have wheels underneath. These are all found in the Beiya Forbidden Army.

There is also armor Li Shen asked the Ministry of Industry to re-build, including the weapons, which must be unified. For example, siege vehicles, ladders, and trebuchets all need horses to pull, so the horses must be tall horses of the same color. The cavalry Li Shen plans to use the palace's [-] cavalry. It saves you the trouble of not having to go out of your way to equip the equipment.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Engineering has some inventory, otherwise it would be really difficult to complete it.

Newspapers have reported that half a month later, on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, a martial arts ceremony will be held in front of the Zhuque Gate in the imperial city to show the people the style of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

In this era, this kind of political activity is like a festival. Many people want to witness it, so many outsiders rush to Chang'an.

Li Shen's Dongshan military camp was filled with curses, whippings, and horses' braying every day. The sound of the wheels of equipment sounded like there was a war going on inside. And the half-moon period is getting closer and closer.

The days passed by, and it was August [-]th in a blink of an eye. Zhuque Street was particularly lively today. Zhuque Street was the street in front of Zhuque Gate.

Li Shen looks like a small square with very wide streets. Early in the morning, the Forbidden Army divided the viewing area according to Li Shen's request. The entire street was enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. There are armed guards at regular intervals on both sides of the road.

In the early morning, the team participating in the martial arts lecture was already waiting at Chunming Gate in the east. Today's auspicious time reported by the Taishi Bureau is the fifth quarter of the morning, which is 8:15 in the morning.

According to Li Shen's plan, the team would enter through the Chunming Gate, the east gate of Chang'an, and could directly pass through the Zhuque Gate. All plans Li Shen followed were in accordance with the military parade procedures of later generations.

When 3000 people were divided into several square formations and passed through Chunming Gate, many people stood on both sides of the street and watched. The leader was Li Chengqian, wearing a silver helmet and armor, a long sword at his waist, and a group of white high-headed horses at his crotch.

This horse is also a Dawan horse from the Western Regions and is Li Chengqian's favorite. At this time, Li Chengqian looked very majestic and majestic.

Next is the phalanx of students, all in stiff military uniforms, designed by Li Shen himself. Behind them are the cavalry and then the troops with swords, guns and baggage.

Everyone is ready and waiting for Li Shimin's review. Li Shen has handed over the military lecture plan to Li Shimin one day in advance.

On the tower of Zhuque Gate is where Li Shimin and his ministers sit, and there is a seat next to it specially for foreign envoys.

Li Shimin and his ministers sat here just after Chenshi. The Taishi Bureau informed them that the auspicious hour had arrived. Li Shimin said to Li Shen next to him: "Let's get started."

Li Shen nodded after hearing this. A guard next to him waved the command flag, and the big drum next to the tower began to sound three times.

Li Shimin got up and followed Li Shen down the tower. Li Shimin needed to ride a horse to inspect the waiting soldiers. Li Shen was worried and asked his guards to guard the outside, and Li An's hundred cavalry were inside.

And Li Shen followed him as a hostage in disguise, because everything was arranged by Li Shen. If there was a rebellion, Li Shen would be the first to die. It's just that this is an unspoken rule, tacitly understood by everyone, and it is also a way for Li Shen to show his loyalty.

Some people may think that so many armed men are not safe for the emperor, but in fact there is no need to worry at all. The selection of personnel in this era was much simpler and rougher than in later generations.

If you find anything suspicious, you will be caught. No one is allowed at any high point within 300 meters. The Forbidden Army has already occupied various positions. Moreover, Li Shimin had to assess the risks before doing anything, so there were very few emperors who were assassinated to death in history. (Few, not none, OK?)

Li Shimin was also dressed in military uniform today, wearing a purple gold crown with jewels on his head, gold chainmail, gold boots with dragon-patterned bearskin, and a sword on his waist. BMW, with a shiny black mane and a white circle on its four hooves, seems to be stepping on the clouds.

This horse was originally given to Li Shimin by Li Shen. He obtained it through coercion and inducement from businessmen in the Western Regions. Li Shen spent a lot of money on this horse. It is a purebred horse from the Western Regions and is commonly known as a sweat-blooded horse. When he bought it, he was still a foal. Li Shimin loved it so much that he spent a lot of money to raise it every year.

In Li Shen's words, this horse's popularity is second only to Li Tai's, and its weight is higher than that of Li Chengqian. Li Shimin only appeared on this occasion today.

Li Shimin rode majestically in front of Li Chengqian. Looking at his son in silver armor, he seemed to be very happy to see his younger self.

At this moment, Li Chengqian's face was resolute, without the childishness and frivolity of the past, and he no longer shrank back when he faced Li Shimin.

"Not bad," Li Shimin whispered as he passed by Li Chengqian, and then continued to move forward. Come to the student square.

"Hello, officers and soldiers," Li Shimin waved his hands according to Li Shen's teachings.

The shouts of "Long live your Majesty" that had been practiced countless times were uniform and deafening.

"Soldiers have worked hard"

"Fighting for the Tang Dynasty"

At this moment, Li Shimin felt as if he had returned to the era of fighting in all directions. He turned back into the young man who was about to go on a battle.

(Originally, the story was written to serve the Tang Dynasty, but later I felt that this feudal society was not suitable. So I changed it to fight for the Tang Dynasty. If anyone has any good suggestions, let us all take reference.)
