    On April 13, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, at dawn, many people gathered at the edge of the large church in the northeast of the town. As time went by, more and more people came, and finally the crowds were crowded and the voices were loud.  The crowd was boiling, and the small flags waving in everyone's hands fluttered like the sea.  Because of the early announcement, the people in Xuanfu Town knew that today was the day to send troops. They got up early and gathered around the teaching ground, crowding on both sides of the road.  There are more and more of them, and every quarter of an hour, the number of people increases by tens of thousands.  Men, women, old people, children, all holding flags in their hands.  Many of them also wore swords.  They spread from the road to the west of the cathedral to the road to the east.  The Great Teaching Field of Xuanfu Town is located in the northeast of the town. It has two gates. The soldiers who went out during the war naturally entered from the west, exited from the east, and then walked through the road.  So everyone crowded beside the corresponding road, hoping to witness the majestic appearance of the soldiers on the expedition.  Many people even got up in the middle of the night to take up positions. At the same time, many people from outside the town came, also hoping to witness the majestic appearance of the soldiers on the expedition, waving flags and shouting off for them.  They also arrived at Xuanfu Town a few days in advance and filled all the large and small hotels, hotels, and inns inside.  The weather is very good today. There will be rain from time to time in April of the lunar calendar, but the dawn showed very early today, indicating that the weather will be sunny on this day or in the next few days.  As time went by, more and more people came to wait, and the crowds of people soon reached an incomparable scale.  By the time Mao hour arrived, the area around the cathedral was already crowded with people, flags were flying, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.  Zheng Tianmin didn't sleep well last night. Like him, most of the C-class troops in the team also had trouble sleeping.  Everyone felt as if their chests were being pressed down by a heavy object and they were suffocating, and their hearts were beating wildly from time to time.  The military parade is about to go out, and everyone is looking forward to it but also feeling uneasy.  Only the team officers and the commander of the First A, who also served as the team deputy, acted as if nothing had happened. They were all veterans transferred from the A and B armies to serve as officers. This kind of scene was common.  Still as calm as usual, busy as usual, sleeping peacefully and eating comfortably.  Zheng Tianmin even saw that his boss, Ju Yiwu, still had a cold face, looking at everyone as if they owed him thousands of silver yuan and would not pay back.  Commander-in-chief Liu Lie was a naive man, with a hint of sadness in his eyes for no apparent reason. It seemed that this honest and honest officer also had some unspeakable sadness hidden in his heart.  Zheng Tianmin's unit belongs to the second unit of the Suzaku Army's front camp. The commander is Ju Yiwu, and the camp general is Li Zhengjing.  There are also Han Kaihui, the first Qianzong, Chen Sheng, the third Qianzong, and Mou Dachang, the fourth Qianzong.  After the Second Division arrived in Xuanfu Town, they were stationed in a place called Tugou, three miles away from the teaching field.  They got up at the beginning of the morning, ate, and organized their equipment.  Then the whole battalion gathered for the final military parade and set off at about 1 o'clock. Then we had to walk more than a hundred miles today and arrived at Huailaiwei to rest in the evening.  After walking for two more days, we arrived at Juyongguan again.  The breakfast food is still so rich. If Zheng Tianmin and others have any nostalgia for joining the camp, then the food in the camp must be one of them.  Although life in the fort has gotten much better in recent years, it is not possible to eat meat as often as in the camp. Now that the order to go out is given, meat is eaten at every meal.  Zheng Tianmin and others felt full in the past two days, but today everyone was a little bit reluctant to eat, but it was because they were nervous.  After Zheng Tianmin had breakfast, the army entered the final preparations. Each soldier's large belongings were put into the general's baggage carriage, such as each person's backpack with blankets, etc. Then they sorted out their equipment and checked their armor and equipment.  .  There are four teams in the first general of the Jingbian Army, two each for the Spear Team and the Fire Gun Team. Zheng Tianmin's team belongs to the Fire Gun Team. His armor is no different from that of the Spear Team. They are both iron-pointed helmets with eight petals and stamped breastplates. Then he  A blunderbuss sword hangs on the right side of the belt.  There is also a leather gun bag slung on the right side of the body, which contains thirty rounds of fixed paper cartridge ammunition, a soft cloth, maintenance oil for the gun, some spare flints, etc.  .  On the left side of the body, there is a water bottle slung across the body, which is usually used for drinking water.  Due to his good performance, Zheng Tianmin was assigned as the commander of the second-a class. Under the command of Captain Zhou, he carefully checked the self-generated fire gun in his hand, turned the faucet to the firing position, and pulled the trigger a few times to see if it fired.  If the rate is no problem, don¡¯t change the flint.  He took out his gun sword and looked at it, then took out a soft wiping cloth and wiped it a few times to make the metal shine even brighter.  Then he checked the status of the sergeants in the armor. At about midnight, they all began to gather on the threshing floor, five people in a row, five people in a row, standing in a row.  This is the standard marching column of the Jingbian Army.  When we arrived at the cathedral, there was a military parade, with a line of fifty people in one line, and then two hundred people in a line of ten thousand people.  People say that if there are more than 10,000 people, there will be no borders. In fact, standing in a square formation does not occupy any space.Young Master, a phalanx of ten thousand people can only hold a hundred people horizontally or a hundred people vertically.  If we really wanted to stand, 16 million people could stand in one square kilometer.  Commander-in-Chief Qian Ju Yiwu, the four Commander-in-Chiefs of the Second Division, and the Commander-in-Chief of Qian, and the officers of each Commander-in-Chief were waiting on the threshing floor. The bright red flags of Commander-in-Chief Qian and Commander-in-Chief Banners were flying in the morning wind.  The red bird pattern on it is looming in the breeze.  Each general reported and the town governor verified that everyone was present. Ju Yiwu still had a cold face. He only said two words: "gun sword!" The Chinese army shouted: "gun sword!"  A's officers all shouted: "Get your blunderbuss!" There was a clanging sound of metal. Each gunner pulled out his blunderbuss and put it on the holster. After Zheng Tianmin shouted, he also pulled out his blunderbuss and holstered it.  A cold light shone on the threshing floor. The sharp armor-piercing spears and sharp blunderbuss swords gleamed in the morning light, showing the sharpness of this army.  "Gun to the shoulder!" The officers shouted again, and there was another neat sound of metal clanging.  Ju Yiwu finally said: "Let's go." The sound of strings and bamboos sounded, the drums beat, and along with the exciting drum music, the sergeants started to advance on the drums.  Their Qianzong banner took the lead, followed by the golden drum, silk and bamboo hand, each person in the department, and then the general flag of each general, followed by the sergeants of the general, all walking in a row of five on the country road, their sergeants were about  One hundred and sixty columns, while walking, a neat array of iron helmets swayed.  Then all four of them gathered together, and the five-foot-long battalion general's flag opened the way, with a tassel on its head and a bead on its tail. The battalion's flag was indeed much more imposing than Qian's flag.  Soon, they walked onto the main road from the town to the cathedral. There was already a huge flow of people here, and the sound of people covered up the sound of their drums. Both sides of the road were densely packed with people, and the crowds were waving.  Flags like the sea After Zheng Tianmin and the others entered the teaching field, the tension and anxiety in their hearts had long since disappeared. They entered their designated positions, merged one by one, and formed a team of fifty people.  Then he turned around and saw that on the opposite side of the teaching field, there was also a sea of ??people, full of people watching the ceremony and sending off. They were screaming with emotion, and the sea of ??flaming red flags wavered and fluttered from time to time.  Zheng Tianmin looked to the left and right, and saw countless sergeants wearing armor and hats like him. Looking around, they saw rolling tides, like the long flow of an iron river.  The Suzaku Army formation where Zheng Tianmin is located has about 25,000 people, one A-class corps, one B-class corps, three C-class corps, as well as hussars and hunting cavalry.  Troops A and B, plus the cavalry, all had horses. At this time, they all dismounted and stood quietly beside the horses.  If there are fifty people in a row, these sergeants add up to more than 400 rows. They face each other horizontally like this, and there are corps and battalions gathering on the teaching field.  Looking from both sides, the iron helmets with fluttering red tassels seemed to spread endlessly.  Being in such a group, one¡¯s blood is boiling and one¡¯s body is filled with breath of power.  Xuanfu Town is known as the ¡°head of the nine towns¡± and is known as ¡°Xuanfu is the most important town on all nine sides¡±.  The Zhencheng Teaching Ground is even more famous. Xu Weige said: "The Xuanfu Teaching Ground is famous all over the world, and the peaks and mountains reach into the clouds. There is no need for bows and knives to line up the tigers, but the natural swords and halberds support the generals." What is commendable is the Zhencheng Teaching Ground.  It is very large, and there is no problem in gathering a million people inside. As time goes by, more and more troops and horses gather, and the crowd becomes larger and larger. The iron armor on the soldiers continues to reflect the golden light in the rising morning light.   At the beginning of the Chen Dynasty, Wang Douhui and his officers and generals came to Xuanfu Town. The officers and generals of Xuanfu Town, Ji Shiwei, the Governor of Xuan Dynasty, Chen Xinjia, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and others, together with the Prince of the Supervisory State, paid homage to Li Banghua and Zhu Zhifeng in the Qunying Temple.  , Wei Jingyuan, Cai Maode, Ma Guoxi and other famous officials who died in the festival.  After Li Banghua and others were martyred that day, Wang Dou said: "Loyal ministers and righteous men should be remembered from generation to generation." It turned out that Xuanfu Town and other places had discussed whether to build a temple for the martyred ministers. After Wang Dou spoke, he even built a temple on the original site.  After establishing the Qunying Temple, there will be a grand worship ceremony every year.  The major affairs of the country include sacrifice and military affairs. Sacrifice is very important. This is China. This is one of the foundations for the Han nation to stand for thousands of years.  During this expedition, in addition to worshiping at the Qunying Temple beforehand, after the army set off, Wang Dou and the prince and others would also go to Baozhong Temple and Yimin Temple in Shunxiang Fort, Baoan Prefecture.  Sacrifice them with great ceremony, with solemnity and grandeur, without forgetting the meaning of the forefathers and martyrs.  After worshiping at the Qunying Temple, Wang Dou, the prince and others rode their horses to the church. They left the north gate of the town and entered the church from the west gate.  When his flag appeared in the eyes of the people, there was a roar like the earth was shattering. Countless people crowded and shouted desperately, and the flag of the Sun, Moon and Waves flag flew like the sea. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The sound of "Wan Sheng" echoed in the clouds, and countless swords and swordsAs he came out to greet Wang Douren and others, the cold light of the sword and the wave of flags seemed to spread to the sky.  Wang Dou smiled and waved. The sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami made the prince's face turn red. He imitated Wang Dou and kept waving to the people.  Chen Xinjia, Ji Shiwei and others were lucky. The foreign officials who came to Xuanfu Town were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene.  Where have they seen this kind of power trend?  Everyone was excited, fearful, excited, and at a loss.  But when I saw Wang Dou waving, many people also imitated Wang Dou and waved.  Fortunately, although the crowd was excited, the people of Xuanfu Town were accustomed to observing order and did not rush forward and cause chaos.  Wang Dou and others entered the training ground, and the ocean of military and horse formations was overwhelming, representing the infinite mighty power.  Wang Dou rode his horse and walked through the military formation. On one side were the soldiers under his command who stood in awe and respect, and on the other side were the sea of ??flags flying and countless excited and screaming people under his command.  Pride welled up in his heart. After ten years of gathering and ten years of hard work, he finally had the capital to implement his ideals and ambitions.  This feeling of finally having your destiny in your hands is so joyful and delicious.  That feeling is really difficult to describe in words.  Wang Dou and others went to the martial arts stage and first taught the hundreds of thousands of people in the venue to sing the Xuanfu town anthem "The Song of Heaven's Favor of the Emperor Ming": "The illustrious God has favored me, the Emperor Ming. The great destiny is gathered, and the foundation is solid."  Glory. The origin of Yihe, the virtuous spring palace, the support of Yihe, the vassal state is peaceful.  The Supreme Natural Wonderful One, Milo, the True Jade Emperor God, is also known as the Jade Emperor.  Lord of the gods, the beginning of all things, endless majesty, endless mystery.  Every dynasty established must claim to inherit the will of heaven and obey the appointment of God Haotian, thus representing the divine right of kings and receiving orders from heaven.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The song resounds through the sky and flies in the wind. The prince and officials felt the shocking power and couldn't help but sing along.  After singing, Wang Dou looked at the countless phalanx warriors below. The iron flow was endless. The ups and downs of the nation's destiny had already surged in front of him. Agitated emotions surged in his heart. He shouted to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers below: "Everyone, I  Determined to send troops to destroy the thieves, are you willing to fight with me?" "I am willing to follow the general to kill the thieves!" The majestic roar refracted along the echo wall of the teaching field, and the sound was so passionate and long that it seemed to resound through the sky.  (To be continued.)
