Zhou Shixiang is scheduled to perform a military parade tomorrow at the Yuexiu Camp. The King of Tang is invited to watch the ceremony together with officials of the imperial court and the people of Guangzhou. One is to improve morale and the other is to deter Xiaoxiao.

Most of the Northern Expedition troops are concentrated in Lianzhou, Yangshan, Qingyuan and other places. Currently, only the third and fifteenth towns are stationed in Guangzhou, and the other is a brigade of cavalry from Wang Fuchen Xinyi Town. Zhou Shixiang arranged for the deployment, and ordered the third town and the fifteenth town to draw a brigade tomorrow, together with the cavalry brigade from the new town, plus his own iron guards to form eight phalanxes for the exercise. Dong Changqing, an officer of the Ministry of War, suggested that another 500 cadets could be transferred from the armament workshop and 500 juvenile soldiers from the juvenile battalion to participate in the exercise, and the artillery of the third and fifteenth towns could be combined into one artillery phalanx. There are many people, and there are many weapons, which can be powerful.

Zhou Shixiang accepted Dong Changqing's suggestion and ordered the generals and the military to prepare. Dong Changqing also organized staff to go to Yuexiu Camp overnight to build a high platform for the military parade. Before going to the palace, Song Xianggong worried and said to Zhou Shixiang that he hurriedly performed a military parade and did not have time for training. The team looked at whether it would be scattered, do not lose momentum, and make the officials laugh. Is it to delay the Northern Expedition for a few days and wait for the soldiers After the training is completed, the military parade will be performed.

Zhou Shixiang laughed, so Duke Xiang of Song didn't need to worry. At present, the towns are very tight on the training of the military train. The new recruits and the soldiers who surrendered to the Qing army are all beaten out by big sticks. Even if they do not have training, they are allowed to go according to their usual training. teacher.

Song Xianggong basically didn't ask about the affairs of the army. Seeing Zhou Shixiang's confidence, he also felt relieved. He entered the palace with Yuan Kuoyu to inform the Tang King about the Taiping Army's martial arts performance in the Yuexiu Camp tomorrow and vowed to go to the northern expedition, and asked the Tang King to watch the ceremony. , to see off the soldiers of the three armies.

During the last State Supervision Ceremony, Zhou Shixiang invited the King of Tang to parade at the East Gate. At that time, Cifu Lianchengbi and others suggested that this move was inconsistent with the system. Afterwards, there were discussions that His Royal Highness Supervision of the State placed more emphasis on military men than scholars, which made King Tang extremely unhappy. In addition, the pro-militaries around him were all from the Taiping Army, and Zhou Shixiang used the pro-militaries to suppress the people's gentry officials, so he was quite dissatisfied with the Taiping Army. However, after Song Xianggong explained his intentions, Tang Wang agreed to the request without hesitation, and was willing to go to the camp to watch the soldiers to see off the soldiers on the northern expedition. The matter of the Northern Expedition is related to the restoration of Zhu Ming's Jiangshan community and the survival of the ancestors' foundation. No matter how dissatisfied Zhou Shixiang is with Tang Wang, he will never chill Zhou Shixiang's heart at this moment. Whether Zhou Shixiang is the second Sun Kewang or not, at this time, he is the day of the Ming Dynasty, the only person Tang Wang can trust and have high hopes for.

After Song Xianggong and others retired, Tang Wang even asked the princess to rush to make a robe overnight, and wait for it tomorrow to put it on Zhou Shixiang with her own hands to show her prestige. The princess was also excited, and she said that she might as well let all the ladies in the palace come to embroider the uniforms, so that the generals can have one in their hands tomorrow, so that it can also show the sincerity and sincerity of His Royal Highness for the soldiers. Tang Wang agreed with a smile, but he felt that it was not right. He called Pan Yinglong, the eunuch, and asked him what he should prepare.

Pan Yinglong stayed in the inner court of the Chongzhen Dynasty in his early years, and he knew a lot about the etiquette system. For the king of Tang, he might as well give Zhou Shixiang gold armor, Shang Fangjian, silver armor for leading generals, clothing for officers and soldiers, and finally wine and food.

Giving golden armor and silver armor can make it difficult for King Tang. He has just been in custody of the country, and the palace should be all set up. Where can I find gold armor and silver armor. It was also Pan Yinglong's idea that he ordered people to go to Zhou Shixiang's mansion to find dozens of armors, and then one was painted with gold paint, and the rest were painted with silver paint to show the armor of gold and silver. In terms of clothing for soldiers and soldiers, it is symbolic to ask Zhou Shixiang for hundreds of new military uniforms. Shang Fangjian is a sword that Shang can happily use. In the end, the food and drink should be given to beef. However, the slaughter of cattle is prohibited in Guangdong. So he ordered Guangzhou to kill dozens of fat pigs overnight, and prepared a hundred jars of liquor as a reward for tomorrow.

King Tang kept sending people over to ask for this and that. Zhou Shixiang also found it funny. He felt a little bit like making his own pockets to make King Tang a man, but he had no objection and ordered people to prepare one by one. In addition, at the suggestion of Hong Yuao, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, the King of Tang issued an decree to re-establish the post of Grand Governor, which was abolished during the Hongwu years, to be awarded Zhou Shixiang, and at the same time, Zhou Shixiang was added as the prince Taibao, and he was awarded the seal of the general.

Zhou Shixiang was quite surprised by this incident. It must be known that the chief governor during the Hongwu period was Xu Da, who was posthumously named Zhongshan King. Later, due to the excessive power of the chief governor, Emperor Taizu changed the chief governor while abolishing the prime minister system. For the five military governor's mansion, he ordered the descendants of future generations not to restore it. Why is the Tang king now restoring the great governor and conferring it on himself?

Zhou Shixiang was puzzled.

Gui Yongzhi guessed that King Tang wanted Zhou Shixiang to learn from Xu Da and become Xu Da. As for the restoration of the Grand Governor's Mansion, this is an optional matter. The military and government are all from Zhou Shixiang's military commander's mansion. Whether there is a Grand Governor is the same thing. The government has one more title of the Grand Governor's Palace. Zhou Shixiang thought about it carefully, and felt that Gui Yongzhi guessed it well. King Tang wanted to be Xu Da himself.

That night, in addition to the people who didn't know about it, all the yamen in Guangzhou city were very lively, and the Yuexiu camp outside the city was also very busy.

.........

The next day, King Tang brought his cabinet and six important ministers to Yuexiu Camp to observe the ceremony. After the palace assault case, there were almost no officials above the court who dared to oppose Zhou Shixiang, and those who dared to oppose are now locked up in prison, waiting for the trial to be convicted. Looking at the court, there is only one Cifu Liancheng wall still stubbornly insisting on "fighting alone", but obviously the arrest of Zhang Xiaoqi and others made Lord Cifu realize that he can't confront Zhou Shixiang head-on, so he was very smart and did not come to King Tang in person. The barracks audience raised objections, and did not say anything strange.

As before, Cifu's face was not good-looking, he followed the Tang King gloomily, and Song Xianggong and Ding Zhixiang who were beside him didn't say a word, Guo Zhiqi ignored him, but he could talk to Hong Yuao. sentence.

On the viewing platform hurriedly built overnight in the Yuexiu Camp, King Tang stood at the front, and Zhou Shixiang and Guo Zhiqi were on both sides. Members of the cabinet and six officials, officials and family members of the small and medium-sized Jiuqing Yamen, and the Taiping Army military members were placed on one side. The camp was open to the common people, people who came to watch the lively people were blocked from the safe area, and a road about 200 paces wide was left in the middle for the soldiers of the parade to enter the place.

At that time, Wang Fuchen with a white robe and a yellow horse rode his horse under the viewing platform on behalf of the Taiping Army, and raised his voice to plead, "Please, His Royal Highness the Superintendent of the State for a military parade!"

Tang Wang nodded excitedly, Zhou Shixiang waved his big hand, and the sound of war drums sounded in unison. Accompanied by the sound of desolate horns, the sound of neat and dull steps sounded. , shouting to kill Zhentian. At the end of the 800 Iron Man Guards, the vibrating sound of the ground sounded even more exciting to see the king of Tang. He only hoped that this strong army would be able to conquer the north, recover the southern capital, recover the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and recover the capital...

At the end of the military parade, the Minister of Rites Hong Shiming stepped onto the high platform lightly and familiarly, and read out the Northern Expedition in a loud voice.

"On the ninth day of the seventh lunar month in the thirteenth year of the Yongli calendar in the Ming Dynasty, the king of Tang, who was supervising the country, recited in Guangzhou, saying: "What is called Manchuria today belongs to the barbarians. It was raised by my emperor and lived on the left side of Liao. Xiqia breeding, two hundred years of calendar, grace. It can be said that it is not good! However, the barbarian dogs and sheep have repeatedly turned against the side; they do not think of retribution, but they are enmity. When I was in a lot of trouble, I dared to recommend food. It was between the mountains and the sea, and the capital was captured; when I flew across the river, the three emperors were dusty. When Hu Qifu arrived, he was slaughtered. Complete. In the past, all the places where things were beautiful were reduced to the realm of ghosts; the land of Xiange was completely turned into ruins. They also destroyed my clothes and my hair. Therefore, the descendants of Yan and Huang Miao were all left-handed; Holy see it, don't you cry in Jiuyuan?!

Fortunately, the ancestors left behind, Daming has an unfinished Zuo; since people's hearts are in the Han, China has a principle that must be extended. Last year's victory in Chaozhou, the pseudo-king gave the head; this spring, in the battle of Liuzhou, a group of thieves were slaughtered. Within two years, the three provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang and Guangxi had been restored; Today, the power of the captives has declined, and they are sitting in the corner of Yanyu, and all the ugly people are panicking. This is really a good opportunity to clear the sea and sweep away the dust.

Today, I order the Duke of Yue, the great general Zhou, to carry 300,000 soldiers from land and water, to obey the heavens, and to swear to the northern expedition. In a few days, the three Chus will be restored, and the southern capital will be taken directly; the feces will be removed from the smell of mutton and the filial piety will be worshipped. Shang comforts the spirit of the emperor in the sky; Xia An’s hope of recovery for the elders. Afterwards, he sent troops to the north and slaughtered the gangsters. He went straight to Huanglong and destroyed the Huns. Wouldn't it be nice to welcome the Son of Heaven back to Shenjing, and to share peace with the people of Fuli? !

The military generals and officials in Beiwen, who belonged to the Ming Dynasty, were poor at times, and they were entrusted to the court. If the goodness of heaven still exists, loyalty and filial piety still exist, the time is right to return to the righteous and avoid the evil. Those who come from the whole province will not hesitate to split the soil; those who come from the prefectures and towns will definitely be honored with the land. Lead the troops to cast, discuss the number of them and give them the post; come clean and measure their talents. Xun Tong founded the country, and his achievements are more than Guo Li, and his name is in the history. Don't miss the opportunity! If you are still an ugly minion, you will stubbornly resist the king; when the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will become ashes! If you kill your clan, you will leave a stink forever. Shut down, make announcements far and wide, and let the salty envoys hear about it! "

After the Northern Expedition was read out, the ten thousand officers and soldiers on the school ground shouted long live. The Tang king was startled, but he couldn't quit, but he was very happy and ordered to reward the three armies with food and wine.

After a while, three cannons swept past.

The horn player raised the long horn high, "woo woo" a sad cry, echoing from the empty Yuexiu Mountain. Under the piercing sunlight, two red flags fluttered in the breeze. One side was embroidered with eight characters: "The Emperor's Military Commander Zhou"; the other side was embroidered with three characters of "Taiping Army".

The king of Tang gave the golden armor to Zhou Shixiang, and the silver armor to Ge Yi, Wang Fuchen, Qi Hao and other generals. Zhou Shixiang and the generals immediately put on their armor. When Zhou Shixiang finished wearing the armor, the Tang king put on Zhou Shixiang's embroidered robes with his own hands, and the rest of the generals also came forward to wear the robes.

"When you go to the northern expedition, you will definitely be able to wipe out the Tartars and restore both my capitals!" Tang Wang was too excited, and his words faintly trembled.

Zhou Shixiang was wearing armor, and it was inconvenient to kneel, so he gave a military salute and said loudly: "Your Highness, rest assured, this minister will live up to his expectations!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Shixiang walked off the high platform, rode on the big blue horse, and rode around the school field, which attracted tens of thousands of soldiers and the surrounding people to cheer.

Looking at the soldiers' stern appearance, high morale, and listening to the deafening cheers, Zhou Shixiang's heart was full of pride and confidence, and he raised his hand to greet the soldiers. The cheers stopped immediately, and tens of thousands of people were silent.

Zhou Shixiang didn't say anything, but started to sing. He sang the Taiping army song, the song of killing Hu.

Everyone didn't expect Zhou Shixiang to sing, and they were all stunned for a moment. King Tang was also at a loss. In his mind, there had never been a story of the leader of the army singing before the army.

Guo Zhiqi and the others were also stunned, each with a strange expression, and thoughtfully explained the strange behavior of the Yue Guogong: after all, he is only a talented student, with little knowledge, and he is proud of his youth, so it is inevitable to be disrespectful.

Those who are not considerate regard Zhou Shixiang's actions as an indecent act and an indecent act. No one knows what other people think, but Zifulian City Wall must have thought so. This time, Master Zifu's face was terribly distorted. If it weren't for the people around him, he would have been unable to resist coming forward and scolding him.

Zhou Shixiang's voice is not good, but he sings very loudly.

"......

With ninety-nine steel knives in hand, he killed Hu Erfang and stopped;

I am a dignified man, how can I be a barbarian as a horse and an ox;

The strong man drank the wine in his bowl, and traveled thousands of miles without turning back;

The golden drums roared in unison, and everyone roared, never breaking the Huanglong oath! "

Zhou Shixiang remembered this song of the Red Turban army back then and the current Taiping army song very well. He sang it word by word, ignoring the strange eyes of the crowd around him. He only cared about the eyes of thousands of soldiers in front of him.

The big handsome sang, the big handsome sang the army song!

The parade officers and soldiers were boiling, and they sang loudly together.

"The cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, fame, wealth, wealth, dust and soil; looking at Shenzhou, the people are suffering, and thousands of miles of fertile soil are barren; looking at the world, all the barbarians, and the incompleteness of the heavens is made up by the husband..."

The golden drums are roaring in unison~www.NovelMTL.com~ I will never break the Huanglong vow!

The heroic military song rises with the wind, floats with the wind, and disperses with the wind.

No matter how absurd what Zhou Shixiang did, tens of thousands of men singing in unison gave the strongest impact. Officials and commoners were also boiling, those who could sing roar along, and those who could not sing burst into tears.

Three hundred years ago, countless men from the Han family sang this military song and marched into the city of Beijing, annihilating the storm!

Three hundred years later, this military song will once again witness the fall of the Manchus and the unyielding of the Han family!

Tang Wang was also excited, ignoring Junyi, and shouted: "Serve the wine!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the wine!"

Zhou Shixiang took the wine bowl presented by the palace maid and drank it, then threw it to the ground, facing the north, and shouted: "The Taiping soldiers will follow me on the expedition, kill all the Tartars and then triumph!"

On the ninth day of the seventh lunar month in the thirteenth year of the Yongli calendar, the Duke of Yue in Ming Dynasty, and Zhou Shixiang, the chief governor, led the army to expedition to the north, and the forward approached Shaozhou.
