Late Tang

Yang Xingmi and Qian Liu both arrived in Yanjing years ago. Although they each occupy a town now, in fact, although they are both vassal towns that rule one side, their wings are gradually growing. But in name, they are all disciples of Qin Wang Li Jing, and their territory is also the two provinces of Jiangbei and Jiangnan under the jurisdiction of Qin Fan.In the past few years, the Qin Fan was unable to go south, and mainly defended on the front line of the Huaihe River. In order to control the situation in the southeast, they mainly supported Yang Xingmi and Qian Liu.

With the support of Qin Fan, plus Gao Pian from Huainan and Zhou Bao from Zhenhai, these two famous generals in the late Tang Dynasty were already old and weak, old and fatuous, and they were severely injured and suppressed by Li Jing, so they have a good momentum of development.It can be said that the situation in Huainan and western Zhejiang is much better than in the past.With Li Jing supporting them, and Li Jing severely wounding Gao Pian, they got up without any trouble in this area.

In the southeast area, there are Gao Pian, Zhou Bao, Dong Chang, etc. on their heads, but in fact, these old men have long been emptied out. In the southeast area today, the real controllers are Li Jing's two disciples.Like Qian Liu, Yang Xingmi gradually had the idea of ​​breaking away from Qin Fan's control as his wings grew.But they hid this idea very well and never revealed it.They have been waiting for an opportunity, but it is a pity that the opportunity has been difficult to present.

There were two times when Yang Xingmi almost thought that the opportunity had come.The first time was the time when 20 Hu people went south. At that time, he thought that even if Li Jing could win, his vitality would be seriously injured, and it would be difficult for him to go south in a short time, so he wanted to break away from Li Jing's control.But at the last moment, he still found that he underestimated Li Jing.In the end, he had to lead the troops northward in person and show his surrender attitude to Li Jing with practical actions.The next time, it was Li Jing who went to fight in the Northeast Bohai Sea. Qin Fan and the tribal army faced off with millions of people outside the customs. He felt that the opportunity had come, but this time he was more cautious and did not act lightly. waiting.As a result, just when he thought the opportunity was really ripe, news came that Li Jing had defeated the coalition forces.This news made him very depressed for a while, and finally he had to send a large number of newly harvested grains to Yanjing.

Not long ago, after the spies sent back the news that Li Jing and Yang Deguang had reached a peace agreement, Yang Xingmi finally couldn't sit still.Li Jing conquered the tribes outside the pass, and in a blink of an eye forced the Chang'an court to make peace.Yang Xingmi was very worried, although according to the analysis of counselor Yuan Xi, Li Jing and the court of Chang'an negotiated a peace, the biggest possibility is to point the sword at the second town of Hebei.But who knows if Li Jing will simply send troops south and swallow Huaixi Town after he wiped out the Second Hebei Town.This is a lesson learned from the past. It turns out that the three towns of Tianping, Yicheng, and Xuanwu in Henan were not directly annexed by Li Jing in the end? If Li Jing issues an order at that time, transfer him to Beijing, and then take his Huaixi Town, turned into a real Jiangbei province, what is he going to do?

The more I think about Yang Xingmi, the more he can't sit still. Now Yang Xingmi finally occupied several states in Huaixi, annexed Xuanshe, and is preparing to march to Eyue and Jiangxi. go out.After much deliberation, there was no good solution, and finally decided to go to Yanjing in person to send some tributes to Li Jing.Second, meet the girl and ask her to help blow some pillow wind.Of course, going to Yanjing in person is also to imagine Li Jing showing his docile attitude, so as to dispel Li Jing's desire to annex.

When he stood in the VIP seat of Chengtianmen Square and watched the grand scene, he was really shocked.Huaixi is a land of fish and rice, and there have been no major wars in the past few years, so it can be considered rich.But compared with Qin Fan, it is nothing.In the past, although I often received various news about the strength of Qin Fan, it was a completely different feeling from actually seeing it with my own eyes.He couldn't even figure it out. The Qin Fan fought almost every year and maintained an army of millions. Although the territory was huge, half of it was outside the pass. It was a bitterly cold place.How did Qin Fan do all this?

Especially at this time, he sincerely felt the strength of Qin Fan.

In the viewing area of ​​the VIP seat, all the envoys from other feudal states and other towns of the Tang Dynasty were sitting. These people in various clothes sat together and witnessed the grand event together. military parade.In the VIP area, Qin Fan specially arranged several explanations to explain to the VIPs.

A very tall and beautiful woman, wearing a full suit, spoke fluent and full of charm in Mandarin.

"The king of Qin has finished his horse review, the military parade is over, and the next thing is the military parade. The military parade will also be the most grand part." The young woman explained with a smile, and said to Li Jing's horse The shocked Taixi envoy explained: "It is a blood-sweat horse presented to the King of Qin by the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire. The BMW of a tiger is seven feet high at the head, six feet high at the shoulders, and weighs [-] jin. A horse once singled out a pack of wolves, kicked two wolves to death with its giant hoof, and killed one, scaring off the pack. Not only can he travel thousands of miles a day, but he is also a real land tiger."

At this time, Li Jing had already finished reviewing the 36 equipment convoys, 72 cavalry teams and [-] foot formations. Riding a huge Land Rover, he began to walk among the [-] young and brave officers who had won the knighthood. He returned to Chengtian Gate the same way under his escort.

"The military parade has officially started!" The woman's crisp voice sounded again.

"Now the parade has officially started. The first to be inspected is the foot formation. There are 72 foot formations, including the Army Field Army, Frontier Defense Army, City Defense Army, Route Guard Army, Township Army, and Unity Army. The militia force, as well as the navy force, the marine corps, and the nine military branches each sent foot formations. In addition, the gendarmerie formation, armed police formation, Suzaku Legion women's formation, women's militia formation, special warfare formation formation and air force foot formation The troops are all new troops in the Qin Army, participating in the military parade for the first time."

"The guard of honor of the Sixth Army of the Imperial Guard was the first to pass through Chengtianmen Square. They guarded the black flying eagle flag of the Qin Fan. The Sixth Army of the Imperial Guard is the most elite guard force of the Qin Fan. The Sixth Army of the Imperial Guard also represents the All the style and style of the Qin army, they are served by the most brave meritorious officers of Qin Fan, each of whom has the title of warrior or knight, and is the wearer of the sword and sword. The guard of honor of the Sixth Army of the Imperial Guard has a total of 80 people , there are also excellent women who don't like red makeup and love armed forces. They also experienced thousands of guns and arrows, swaying their blood on the battlefield, and they are also winners of military medals and wearers of honored swords. In the Imperial Guard Guard of honor, they are like a beautiful landscape, military uniform is their most beautiful makeup."

The young woman explained, her voice was full of sincere admiration for those heroic female soldiers.

"Next came the army cadet team composed of students from the Dengzhou Longshan Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. The construction of the Non-commissioned Officer Academy has enabled Qin Fan to receive a large number of outstanding young non-commissioned officers every year. The bones of the army, this large number of new soldiers who have been educated by professional non-commissioned officers have become the backbone of the Qin army."

"Following the army non-commissioned officer academy square team came the infantry square team composed of the silver guns of the Imperial Army Corps. Up to now, the army of the Qin Dynasty has developed from infantry, cavalry, artillery, airmen, grenadiers, etc. A new type of army composed of soldiers, engineers and other arms, with mobile operations, three-dimensional attack and defense, multi-arms coordinated operations, and rapid assault strike capabilities. The flag of the black flying eagle is the point of the King Qin's sword, and the will of the Qin army lies."

The infantry phalanx of the Silver Spear Allegiance Day came in a neat phalanx, all wearing silver half-length armor. They are all more than six feet tall, majestic and powerful.Wearing silver helmets and holding silver guns, they walked in neat steps, kicking the goose steps known as military parade steps.This kind of goose step invented by Li Jing by Prussian soldiers is unique in this era.When well-trained, wearing brand-new military uniforms made by the sponsors, holding a spear, and walking by with a goose step, the uniform scene made all the envoys of other feudal towns watching, especially those in the feudal town The generals who have been in the army all feel a kind of iron and blood.

Yang Xingmi just watched the troops pass by in silence. At first glance, the new military uniforms worn by the Qin army made him feel a little uncomfortable.Tailored bodysuits with distinct tops and trousers, narrow sleeves and narrow trouser legs, no robes, and the trousers are not as bulky as those under the armor.

Slim, very slim.

Wearing such military uniforms on the body, especially the soldiers, made the soldiers look more capable.Especially with the addition of that armor, it made these soldiers even stronger.Coupled with the crackling military parade steps, it also reflects the kind of well-trained.It is conceivable that on the battlefield, with such an army, who can break through their phalanx?

Yang Xingmi gradually fell into contemplation. The strength of the Qin army was displayed all the time.Compared with them, Wu Jun in Huaixi Town was like a mob.

"Tiger, tiger, tiger!"

As they walked through the Chengtianmen tower, the soldiers of the Silver Spears Xiaojie Army saluted Li Jing and others on the city gate tower at the same time, and shouted the battle cry of the Silver Guns Xiaojie Army.Today, each army has its own flag and even its own battle cry.Most of the military flags are animals, most of which are beasts.The flag of the Silver Spear Efficiency Festival Army is a tiger with wings, which can also be called Biao.And their battle cry is the tiger.When they launch a charge or accept a review, they will shout the word tiger.As soon as you hear the word "tiger", you can know that it is a silver gun serving the Jiejun.The Lu Shi Fang team that just passed by has not yet become a real army, so they don't have their own flag and battle cry.

The military flag and battle horn are both signs and the pride of each army.Even when many veterans meet after retiring from the army, they will first gesture their own military flag patterns, and then call a battle cry.If they can match up, they are like brothers.

"Then came the special forces phalanx, which also appeared in the military parade for the first time. Army special operations forces were originally subordinate units among the armies. Recently, special operations forces are gradually shifting from traditional reconnaissance forces to new types of special forces. The historical transformation of the army. The Yingyang Army is just such a new type of special operations force. The soldiers of the Yingyang Army are an old army established at the beginning of the Qin Army and have countless glorious records. Today, they After rigorous training and comprehensive improvement of combat effectiveness, it is a force of fists and sharp knives that can stand any test!"

The military uniforms worn by the Yingyang Army phalanx are camouflage uniforms, with camouflage on their heads, and camouflage oil paint on their faces. Their equipment is even more unique.This is a special force capable of capturing the moon from nine heavens and catching turtles across the oceans. When it comes to small-scale special operations, they can stop ten with one and no one can stop them.

"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

Under the eagle flag fluttering its wings, the special soldiers of the Yingyang Army passed by shouting their battle cry 'wind'.The wind is his battle cry, and it is also their way of fighting. They are like the wind, extremely fast and pervasive.

"The team of naval trainees from Qingnipu Naval Academy, who have participated in several inspections, has come here now. After ten years of construction, the navy has developed into an elite combat force from inland rivers, inland lakes, inland seas, and outlying seas. It is also a comprehensive military service composed of surface ships, airmen, coastal defense, and marine corps. It has the capabilities of coastal defense, ocean defense, inland river and inland lake attack, strategic deterrence, and ocean mobile operations. The infantry formation formed by the Naval Academy is also the youngest inspection formation, with an average age of only 16."

Listening to the beautiful woman's explanation, Yang Xingmi's heart became more and more bitter.

As the king of Wu, his territory spans the banks of the Yangtze River, not far from the mouth of the Yangtze River.The territory is criss-crossed by water, and Wu Jun should be the strongest in water warfare.But in fact, Qin Jun's navy is better than Wu Jun's ten streets, and it is even claimed to be the strongest in the world.Not only do they have undeniable deterrence in inland rivers, they even have the ability to attack and defend along the coast, and they can also fight across seas and oceans.The Qin army even had a navy that formed a fleet five years ago to escort several large caravans along the coast to the west to the distant Arabia and Rome, and then returned to Dengzhou last year.It is really unimaginable that Qin Fan's navy actually possessed such abilities.

Facing such a powerful navy of Qin Fan, Huaixi Town's territory has no security at all.Li Jing's fleet can go up the river from the sea at any time, and cut his territory in half along the river.Even his center, Luzhou, is firmly adjacent to the Yangtze River, and may be approached and blocked by the Qin Army Navy at any time, and the Navy and Marine Corps can even break into the city at any time.

Why!Yang Xingmi couldn't help heaving a long sigh.The more he compared, the cleaner his self-confidence disappeared.

There are one after another phalanx passing by behind, not only the infantry phalanx, but also the cavalry phalanx, and those chariot phalanxes and so on.But Yang Xingmi didn't have much interest in watching. He glanced at both sides and found that the expressions of the other guests in the VIP area were similar to his own.

The power Qin Jun showed this time was too powerful, so great that it shocked everyone. Everyone couldn't help thinking at this time, who in the world can stop such power? (To be continued.)
