Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 372 Enthronement Ceremony!Colorful smoke flying! 【Part 3】

"The Guards are here!"

Chen Bangyan was just thinking about how grand it would be when all the civil and military officials accompanied the first female emperor of Ming Dynasty to pray to heaven and earth, when he heard the people around him cheering.

There are currently two types of street closures by the military.

The full ban is to expel all idlers to a stone's throw away, while the half ban allows the people to stand on the sidelines and watch.

Therefore, at this time, many people were standing on the side of the street, and some even climbed to the roofs of the houses on the side of the street to look at it.

It was these people who were the first to shout "The Imperial Guards are coming".

It is only because ordinary people are most familiar with the imperial guards that they shout like this. In fact, they can't understand the difference between the imperial guards, the imperial forest army, and the frontier guards.

Chen Bangyan stood at a relatively high position. He looked towards the end of the street, and the first thing he saw was a long vertical military flag.

The background color of this flag is as blue as the sky, with the pattern of a red rosefinch soaring from the fire as the pattern, and the six yellow characters of "Suzaku Camp of the Imperial Forest Army" are written on it.

I saw the leader riding a white horse, wearing a bright silver red tasseled phoenix-winged helmet, and a fine fiery red cloth face armor. It looked like a female general.

I saw that this female general was not only tall, but also physically stronger than an ordinary man.

When the people around looked at the female general, she was staring straight ahead.

This is not only because of the requirements for military funds for this parade, but also because Huque is nervous.

Huque is the former chief Huniu of Suzaku Camp.

She made great contributions in raiding the Forbidden City and controlling Nanjing before, and now she has been promoted to the guerrilla general of the Suzaku Camp, and she was named Huque by Auntie Zhu herself!

For this military parade, Dong Qiongying had to lead most of the female soldiers of the Suzaku Battalion to guard, so Huque only let Huque lead a group of female soldiers to participate.

The female soldiers lined up in two rows. Although they didn't ride horses, they all carried bright-style flintlock guns, short guns on their waists, crossbow arrows on their backs, silver bright phoenix-winged helmets without peaks and red tassels, and fine firearms. Red cloth visor.

One by one, they strode forward with their heads held high and their chests held high.

They walked as if they were one person, although they were only fifty female soldiers, they made many people feel awe-inspiring.

Some scholars knew the duties of the "Suzaku Battalion", and they couldn't help admiring: "It's really worthy of being His Majesty's personal guards. Although they are all women, they are rare elite soldiers in the world."

Another person said: "Only a woman like His Majesty can bring out such an elite female soldier."

This statement immediately got the approval of many scholars nearby.

Confucian disciples have always been good at changing, and many people are still very flexible in their bottom line. Therefore, after discovering that Aimee Zhu is indeed what God wants, and becoming an empress is unstoppable, many scholars decisively changed their minds and supported Aimee Zhu.

Chen Bangyan curled his lips secretly when he heard this, thinking: you are flattering people here, do you still expect it to be heard by His Majesty?
Immediately, he looked at the next military flag.

I saw that this flag was also blue and blue, with the pattern of a galloping fiery red horse as the pattern, and "Yulin Army Xiaoqi Battalion" was written in big yellow characters beside it.

Under the banner of this army, the leader is a young general riding a black horse.

He and the cavalry under his command both wore bright silver flying saucer hats, fiery red fine cloth face armor, carried lances, waist sabers and short blunderbuss, and carried bows and arrows on their backs, equally majestic.

The young general is Li Bengao, a member of the Xiaoqi Battalion.

He looked around and met the awe-inspiring and fiery eyes of the common people. He recalled that at this time last year, he was still a cavalry general under the command of the Eight Great Kings, but now he is a general of the Xiao cavalry battalion of the Imperial Forest Army of the Empress of Ming Dynasty.

He understood that all these were brought by His Majesty, otherwise even if he did not become a corpse at this time, he would still be just a young general of the bandit army.

Thinking of this, he held his head high, looked ahead, and swore in his heart that he would follow His Majesty the Empress to make unworldly feats!

After the Xiaoqi Battalion, there are two hundred soldiers each in the Huben Battalion and the Shenji Battalion of the Royal Forest Army, each of them is also majestic.

Just as the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion passed by the street in front of Chen Bangyan, there was a strange whistling sound in the sky, causing many people to look up to the sky.

Immediately, many people saw a scene they would never forget.

I saw ten micro-drones flying from a height of about 300 meters above the street in the direction where the Imperial Forest Army walked.

Its speed is as fast as a bird, passing by in a flash, but leaving behind streaks of colorful smoke!

The multicolored smoke did not disperse immediately, but condensed. As the ten drones continued to extend forward, they gradually widened, sank or floated up, just like the legendary fairy ribbons made of clouds and mist!

Such an unbelievable scene left many people stunned.

When they came back to their senses, many people shouted uncontrollably——

"It's a divine bird! The legendary divine bird that protects the princess!"

"Where is the sanctuary? These divine birds are said to be serving under the princess."

"You all said the wrong thing, the princess is taking the throne today, so she should call her Majesty instead!"

"Your Majesty has so many divine birds, no wonder he can defeat 10,000+ Qing captives."

"With this divine bird, I, Ming Dynasty, will definitely be able to expel the Qing captives and exterminate the bandits!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"···"

I don't know who started it, but in the end the whole street was full of the same shout - Long live my emperor!
Although Chen Bangyan was in his early forties, he couldn't help but be infected by such a warm atmosphere. He looked at the distant drone in the sky, and then repeatedly shouted "Long live my emperor"...

Just past time (nine o'clock in the morning), Zhu Wei has led all the civil and military officials to complete the first step of the enthronement ceremony. .

According to the original succession process of the Ming emperor, the next step is the second step: the emperor wears the crown and goes to the Fengtian Hall to accept the kneeling of civil and military officials.

But Aimee Zhu inserted the military parade here.

Therefore, after offering sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors, Auntie Zhu, civil and military officials and other personnel were given a half-hour "rest" time for the intermission.

Because the Grand Ceremony does not seem to be suspended on the surface, this rest is not really a rest.

Aimee Zhu led all the ministers, ministers, "Nine Qings" and Xungui, and moved to the gate tower of the Meridian Gate, preparing to watch the military parade—referring to the ancient military parade ceremony. It is only necessary for Aimee Zhu to lead the ministers to watch the troops marching in front of the Meridian Gate. Just show the army.

As for other officials, they were arranged in the square south of the Meridian Gate Gate Tower.

It takes a process from the move of the monarch and his subjects to the arrangement of the position.

This process will take up to half an hour, and some courtiers have time to rest. It is a more humane move and has been praised by many veterans.

At the second quarter of Si hour (09:30), Aimee Zhu had already sat in the centermost position on the third floor of the south corridor of the Meridian Gate Gate Tower, and there was no one else beside her except the guards of the Suzaku camp, maids serving in court, and eunuchs.

As for the ministers, servants, Jiuqing, and Xungui, it is the second floor below.

Because each army has a timing tool brought by Aunt Zhu from later generations, as soon as 09:30 arrived, the cultural relic officials who had already stood at their respective positions heard a strange whistling sound in the sky.

Looking up, I saw ten drones flying over from Chengtianmen and Duanmen in the south, pulling smoke like ribbons.

At the same time, the sound near the Meridian Gate also rang.

A woman's voice sounded——

"What is flying towards us now is the drone formation of the Daming Flying Eagles. They soar in the sky, just like my Great Ming's eagle..."

Liu Shuying was responsible for introducing the troops participating in the military parade, but Hao Guangming made the manuscript by referring to the military parade of later generations.

Because it was also the first time for Daming to hold a military parade at the enthronement ceremony, no one thought it was neither fish nor fowl.

As for the loud sound coming from the stereo, the ministers had already seen it before when they offered sacrifices to heaven, earth and the ancestral temple.

Therefore, at this time, most of the officials are just like the common people in Nanjing before, with their necks raised and their eyes wide open, looking for the drones in the sky. It's quite worrying.

The reason for this is that most of the officials participating in the ceremony saw drones for the first time.

Not to mention, at this time, ten drones are still pulling colorful smoke and performing various flying performances in the sky.

While the UAV was performing the colorful smoke flight display, other troops participating in the military parade also passed through Chengtianmen and Duanmen, and came to Meridian Gate...
