Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 327

In the military parade of later generations, except for the infantry phalanx, the most dazzling and last appearance, of course, is the display of heavy weapons and equipment, after the [-] cavalry of the Anbei Army, the Left Guard Army and the Right Guard Army passed through the city gate , Another [-] light cavalry led by Xi Junmai, all wearing new equipment, passed in front of the city gate, and finally, the heavy armored chariot soldiers passed.

Plate armor made of thick steel plates weighs seventy or eighty kilograms a pair. A chariot pulled by two horses has tall, wide wheels and a wide wheelbase. Those who know cars will know that such a car is very difficult. Overturned.

And on a chariot like this, it is not equipped with sharp soldiers with bows, but an enlarged version of the crossbow. Only two people are required to operate these continuous crossbows. These continuous crossbows can continuously fire heavy arrows. There are at least four large boxes of heavy arrows on the carriage. When this thing is pushed onto the battlefield, it can not only move and shoot at high speed, but also can shoot quickly and continuously. Hundreds of heavy arrows can be shot at dense crowds, and eventually kill. It is likely to be more than a thousand people, because there are very few armors that cannot be penetrated by such heavy arrows.

As for such a large continuous ballista, the Anbei Army drove out as many as a thousand at once.

This fully reflects the benefits of Sun Xiangfu's production of military equipment on the assembly line. Once something is researched by his subordinates, it is easy to mass-produce it in Shanyang.

After the ballista, there is the ballista bed. It is different from the continuous shooting of the ballista. It is larger and can only shoot one arrow at a time. However, no one dares to underestimate its lethality on the battlefield.

Because his arrow branches are often thicker than his arms, and the range reaches a thousand steps. Once a thousand arrows are assembled like the Anbei Army, it is easy to imagine that when the enemy is still a thousand steps away, he will suffer a thousand arrows. What kind of picture is the shooting of the big arrow with thick arms.

After that, there is the largest catapult, which is a vehicle-mounted catapult. It is different from the tall and difficult-to-move catapults in the past. It only has a four- to five-meter-long throwing rod, which requires four people to operate. In the case of launching, no one can predict its range and lethality, but smart people should be able to think that since the Anbei Army put him at the end, it has been able to prove that this kind of catapult is very powerful in the Anbei Army. The configuration is the most lethal.

These chariots can quickly go up to the city wall through the wide slideway next to the city wall, and the width of the city wall of Shanyang can run this kind of car. This is when building the city wall and designing the chariots. Plan well Effect.Even when Li Shimin saw these things, he was imagining in his mind how many lives the enemy would have to spend if they wanted to break through Shanyang City.

Finally, the guards of Xue Yantuo Khanate passed in front of the city gate. What surprised all the people and Tang officials was that they were wearing the same clothes as the Anbei Army.

National integration, of course, must start from the little things.

This kind of thinking is naturally Sun Xiangfu's routine. When Li Shimin saw Xue Yantuo's guards appearing on the field, he praised Yi Nan's ability to run the army as sincerely as possible. Without much preparation, he randomly pulled out a It is very rare for a man to be as heroic as the main battle force of the Tang Dynasty. He is very relieved about the security of the Xue Yantuo Khanate in the future.

Afterwards, all the troops lined up under the city wall, and it was Li Shimin's turn to go down to inspect and speak.

A large open carriage stopped under the city gate. Li Shimin and Li Chengqian boarded the carriage. Sun Xiangfu and the generals of the Sixteen Guards got on their horses one after another and followed behind the carriage.

As soon as the carriage came out of the city gate, Li Shimin, who was standing on the carriage, waved his hand to the common people on the opposite stand with a smile.

His little action immediately aroused cheers from the people. Among them was an old man named Liu Dawang whose legs were trembling with excitement. Before that, he could only see a silhouette on the city wall. Now, he is just a few feet away from the road. Only then did he really see Li Shimin's face clearly.

It turned out that he was the emperor, and he drank scented tea made by himself and ate flower cakes made by the villagers in his own village.

He is not a dragon hovering in the sky, nor is he a god living in the world. He is a kinder person than most people. After eating a few cakes in the village, he actually gave the village a carload of sweet melons.

At this moment, Liu Dawang's mood was very chaotic, full of excitement and anxiety.

Those who also recognized Li Shimin, and the villagers who came to the city with Liu Dawang to watch the excitement, at this moment, they also seemed to be in the fog, and the thoughts in their minds were cut off. The people on the carriage smiled at them. He actually laughed too.

Sometimes, it is as simple as a leader gaining the support of the people, a simple smile is enough.

Compared with those generals in armor, Sun Xiangfu's horseback riding outfit is too conspicuous. The herdsmen and people in Anbei Dadufu are no strangers to him, watching him in the front row in front of the emperor's carriage Okay, I immediately felt that the status of our northern land in the Tang Dynasty is also very important. Didn't you see that our chief official was in the front row in the court?

Naturally, Li Shimin would not yell "comrades have worked hard" like the leaders of later generations. He just looked dignified and enjoyed the attention of all the soldiers and common people with a little kindness. When the carriage reached the end of the line, he turned the horse's head , When he returned to the center of all the phalanxes, he faced the soldiers and his back to the people, and began to speak his lines.

"I'm lucky to have you waiting, and the people of Tang Dynasty are lucky to have you waiting."

"Datang Wansheng, Datang Wansheng, Datang Wansheng..."

Li Shimin just said an opening remark, and all the soldiers were very excited. The shouts of mountains and tsunamis, just like the previous military parade in Chang'an, shook the sky.

This kind of scene is very powerful. Why did Sun Xiangfu let as many people as possible come to watch the military parade?I just want them to feel this atmosphere, this feeling of unity.

Sure enough, within a few moments, the Han people among the common people also joined in the shouting of the soldiers, and then, the grassland herdsmen who had only been under the rule of the Tang Dynasty for more than a year also shouted.

There are many people who follow blindly at any time. Some of them will go to the pit, and some will walk on the road of Kangzhuang. These herdsmen and people are the ones who have set foot on the road of Kangzhuang.

For such a scene, Li Shimin enjoyed it very much, but on the city wall, Li Tai, Li Ke, and many other princes, who watched Li Shimin and Li Chengqian driving in the car and were cheered by all the people, were very envious and jealous.

There are also leaders of the surrounding tribes such as Qu Zhisheng, Mohefu, Asulang, Anqi Dagor, Manggur, etc., who are also five people who are mixed in their hearts. Although they are backward, they are not stupid. Seeing the gap between their own tribe and the Tang Dynasty, as the leaders of one side, their days may not have lived in Shanyang City, and some ordinary rich people lived comfortably. At this moment, they began to think in their hearts. It's time to change the living conditions of your tribe.

After a few rounds of hooting, Li Shimin finally stopped at Li Shimin's outstretched hand, and then Li Shimin began to speak again.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have pacified the Quartet internally, captured Tuli externally, defeated Jieli, and returned all the northern lands to Tang.

Everyone loves to hear compliments. Li Shimin is the person who is the best at using the lowest cost to gain the greatest support and love from everyone. Therefore, although he did not bring the manuscript, this long story made many soldiers feel that the emperor is Like my confidant, the emperor knows what he has done for the country and remembers it in his heart. If they don't work for such an emperor, what kind of emperor will they work for?
Then, Li Shimin began to give out benefits crazily.

First of all, the people in the Northland will be exempted from head tax this year. This is something that has been discussed with him since his ex-grandson Xiangfu. In places like Anbei Daduhufu, it is better not to have too many miscellaneous taxes. How much money will be confiscated? On the contrary, it will make the people feel that they are being exploited. Moreover, Shanyang's main tax business is not short of this head tax in terms of business.

The second thing is that the emperor came to the north to visit everyone this time, and he brought gifts for everyone. In the entire territory of Anbei Daduhufu, as long as the people who have registered household registration, including newborn milk babies, the emperor will send two pieces of summer clothes. It was a personal gift from the emperor.

This move not only moved the soldiers of the Anbei Army, but also made the people in the stands cheer for joy when they learned that they were about to receive gifts from the emperor. The head tax was exempted, and each household first saved dozens of coins, and then gave each The emperor is simply too kind to distribute two pieces of clothes worth a few pennies.

Many people who didn't understand the Chinese words repeated by the messenger soldiers immediately joined in the cheers after hearing the explanations from the people around them. The emperor didn't collect taxes and distributed things to the people. .

Then, not only under the rule of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, but also Xue Yantuo, the vassal state, the emperor will not only give millions of pieces of clothing to the people of Xue Yantuo, but also go to Mobei to distribute them to the people in person, and bring people to help them choose clothes. In a good location, build Khan City and build warm sheds for the people's cattle and sheep to spend the winter.

As soon as this news was announced, the cheers of Xue Yantuo's guards also rang out. Li Shimin wanted to reward Xue Yantuo. Before that, only Yi Nan knew about it. Now, Sun Xiangfu put a layer of peace on his soldiers. They were given the same military uniform as the Protectorate of Peking University, and they were given the same rewards as the people of the Northland.

This move aroused their cheers, and at the same time, they were also seen by Mo Hefu, Asulang and others who came to watch the ceremony. They were envious, jealous!Most of the people in their tribe are naked!

At this moment, these leaders seem to have found a way to change the tribe, that is to surrender to Datang, because after surrendering to Datang, they will also have these things that Xue Yantuo has.

Sun Xiangfu and Li Shimin naturally expected that they would have such a psychological change, so the next part of the military parade was to defeat the last bit of hesitation in their hearts.

Li Shimin announced that in the afternoon, all the armies will perform martial arts in the open grassland outside the city. Although the venue has been cordoned off, the common people are not prohibited from watching outside the cordon.

Soon, Li Shimin's carriage returned to the city, and the soldiers who visited each other, led by their respective commanders, came to a pre-set circled field. Here, people under Su Dingfang had prepared it long ago. For meals, they can eat and drink openly. After all, two or three hours have passed since they were busy in the morning, and everyone is already hungry. There is still some physical work in the afternoon!

Li Shimin originally thought that Sun Xiangfu would arrange for himself and his courtiers to go to the Wangjianglou branch to have a big meal today, but he was disappointed. A group of courtiers and guests were invited to the Anbei Army camp in the city. Here, a sergeant has already prepared a meal, although it is considered rich, it is impossible to have the high-grade dishes of the Wangjianglou branch.

"Zhengming, you are too stingy."

Unable to bear the heat, Li Shimin, who took off his vest, complained.

"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with pettyness. I am making room for the people gathered in Shanyang City! I estimate that all the restaurants and small restaurants in the city are full, and there are even many private households. , and also set up a large table to entertain the folks from the surrounding villages who came to watch the excitement."

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard the words, thinking of the hundreds of thousands of people who had gathered outside the city just now to watch the excitement, he snorted coldly, "Hmph, don't tell me what business opportunities you saw again."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu laughed and said, "Hehe, your majesty is also a confidant, really."
