Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 370
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Following the command, the car body shook, and the car began to move forward slowly.

Li Shimin sat up straight nervously, squinting his eyes sideways, with a calm smile on his face.

"Woo...!" There was a long and loud sound, using steam to pass through the copper pipe, and a thin piece in the front section made a huge and long whistle.

Li Shimin was taken aback, and stood up abruptly, holding onto the handrail with both hands.

"Father, don't be nervous. This is just a reminder to let the people in front get out of the way." Feng Daiwen hurried forward, helped him and explained loudly.

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked around and saw nothing unusual, except that the car was speeding up slowly, and there were guards riding horses on both sides, so he breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and said indifferently: "I just got up to take a look, don't worry about it. nervous!"

Feng Daiwen glanced at Li Shimin's fingers grabbing the handrail, his veins were already protruding due to excessive force, he couldn't help turning his head away, and said to himself: "I'm not nervous, there are other people who are nervous."

The eldest grandson who hadn't gotten into the car was also startled by the loud sound, sitting on the luan frame and watching nervously. Seeing Li Shimin standing on the huge steel monster running faster and faster, he couldn't help feeling worried, and quickly stood up and stared at Li Shimin. It was like Houyi watching Chang'e about to ascend.

The car moved forward for a certain distance, and the speed finally picked up. Li Shimin got used to it for a while, and he was no longer nervous. He stood up excitedly and looked at the houses and trees that were constantly receding on both sides, and the cold wind from both sides seemed not so cold.

Feng Daiwen asked him to put on a thick cotton hat, a scarf, and sunglasses, and he was also dressed in the same way. The two of them stretched their heads out flirtatiously.

Feng Daiwen hadn't seen a car for many years, let alone rode it, so he would relive his old dreams and feel inexplicably excited.

Although Li Shimin once rode a horse and galloped wildly, he couldn't reach the speed of a car, let alone a huge steel monster, which could gallop without an animal. Although the speed was lower than that of a fast horse, it was not slow.

"Guanyin servant, come up quickly, I will take you for a swim." The car circled around and stopped near the eldest grandson, and Li Shimin extended an invitation to the eldest grandson excitedly.

It seems that driving a luxury car to seduce girls is self-taught, of course it is such a good thing, if no one shares it, it will be too uncomfortable to hold back.

The eldest grandson watched the car run for a week, and although he wanted to try it in his heart, he still gently pulled Li Shimin into the car implicitly.

After the eldest grandson put on the equipment, Li Shimin couldn't wait to order it to start, and kicked Feng Daiwen to make him roll down without blocking his sight.

Feng Daiwen hated this kind of behavior of crossing the river and withdrawing the bridge, but he was powerless to resist, so he could only resign himself to his fate, led a guard's war horse, and rode to follow.

As for the guards without horses, he healed his grievances and walked aside, enviously watching his comrades watch the fetish up close.

After running wildly for half an hour, Li Shimin and his wife felt that it was a bit cold and uncomfortable, so they ordered to stop, got out of the car for a while, and then walked into the conservatory with unsatisfied intentions, and looked from the window from time to time, watching the craftsmen overhaul, and were afraid of giving him broken.

After resting, Li Shimin unceremoniously ordered people to nominate the car as the Shenlong, and then returned to the palace with high spirits and ambitions.

On the 200th day of the first lunar month, Li Shimin decided to hold another military parade to awe the more than [-] tribes and small countries who had come, taking advantage of the power of the great victory. It was also to strengthen the confidence of the people and strengthen the sense of belonging of the newly joined tribes of the Tang Dynasty.

It happened that there were more than 20 troops returning to the division this time. After half a month of emergency preparations, 8 people were selected to participate in the military parade.

This military parade was also announced a few days ago, and it was held outside the Mingde Gate in Chang'an City.

Early in the morning, guards circled the viewing point, and there were guards a few miles outside the city to maintain safety, leaving enough routes for the parade troops.

Soldiers for the military parade will come out of the military camp near Qujiang Pond in Furong Garden, advance along the outside of the city wall, pass through the Mingde Gate where Li Shimin stands, and then line up outside the Mingde Gate to accept the review.

The weather is beautiful today, the weather is clear and cloudless, and there is not even a little cold wind. The sun comes out and warms the earth.

After the meal, many people left the city through Anhua Gate and Qixia Gate one after another, and entered the viewing area.

As time went by, as time approached (nine o'clock), more guards began to appear on the city wall and began to inspect.

At that hour, the sun had just risen obliquely above, dispelling the cold.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!" With the sound of a huge horn, Li Shimin led many ministers up the city wall, and dense crowds spread far away on both sides. Mingde Gate was directly opposite the nobles, the family members of the officials, and Fan Bang On the left side of the family members, separated by guards.

This is a good location specially arranged by Li Shimin, just to allow them to watch from a close distance and feel the might of the Tang Dynasty.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Dozens of huge war drums sounded neatly.

"Step! Step! Step!" At the beginning of the scene, three thousand heavy armored infantry came across with heavy steps. They were neatly formed, uniformly equipped, and all held long-handled sabers in their hands. People will doubt his fighting power.

When the heavy cavalry stepped across the Mingde Gate silently and raised their swords to salute, the mountain-like demeanor made the watching people cheer, and the Fanbang envoys gasped. They couldn't think of any fighters in their own family who could compete with them.

As the heavy armored soldiers stepped into the waiting area to line up, the Fanbang envoy felt the pressure like a mountain at close range, and the solemn smell of blood rushed to his face. Obviously, these armors and weapons were all killed and stained with blood.

Fortunately, seeing that there were only 3000 people, they were relieved, automatically ignoring that there might be more such soldiers in Datang.

Just when their mood recovered, three thousand Turkic light cavalry archers, three thousand Huihe semi-armored cavalry, three thousand pikemen, and three thousand jumping soldiers filed in.

The same orderly formation and pace showed that they were strictly trained elites. Passing through Mingde Gate, they would raise their weapons and salute Li Shimin above, shouting "Wansheng, Tang Dynasty!"

And Li Shimin would also raise his hand in return, and his eldest grandson would also wave his hand. As for Li Yuan, he would take a group of wives and children to the south for the winter when winter came these few years. I just returned to Chang'an to enjoy and escape the heat.

For Li Shimin and his wife's gesture, many soldiers were extremely excited, feeling as if their hearts were about to jump out of their chests, their faces were flushed with excitement, and they even shouted at the top of their voices when they yelled, as if otherwise, they could not vent their excitement.

Regarding these regular arms, although Fanbang envoys lamented their elites, they were not too surprised. It was estimated that they were selected from the brigade, and they thought that they could also select a lot of them.

But what they don't know is that selection is selection, but it is to select people of similar height, so that the queue will look good.
