On the playground of the lecture hall, flags were displayed all around, and nearly 2,000 people lined up.Above the rostrum, Li Shimin was dressed in a military uniform, and he sat in the middle of the front row with a golden sword.On the left and right sides of Li Shimin are Li Jing and Li Daozong.In addition to those who were on duty in the yamen, all the military attachés of the fourth rank and above in the DPRK and the central government also came to lecture on the martial arts hall today, and many civil officials above the third rank also came.In addition, the captains of the Guannei Province, the commanders of the military camps in Chang'an, and the fifty seats on the rostrum were full.The commander-in-chief of today's parade is Zhao Yunze.Originally, it was decided that Ma Zhou would be the commander-in-chief.But after Zhao Yunze came back, Ma Zhou said that he would give up the position of commander-in-chief to Zhao Yunze.Ma Zhou's reasons are also very sufficient, Zhao Yunze is the founder of the new queue drill, and he is also the proposer and specific executor of the establishment of the lecture hall.Li Jing and Li Daozong also agreed with Ma Zhou's opinion, so Zhao Yunze served as the commander-in-chief of the parade.In fact, the commander-in-chief of the parade did not have much to do, just to give a few orders.Zhao Yunze stood in the middle of the playground, and after giving the command of the whole team, he ran to the rostrum and reported to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the graduation ceremony of the second batch of students in the lecture hall, everything is ready, whether to start the parade, please instruct" "Start" Li Shimin said."
Yes" After Zhao Yunze saluted again, he ran to the side of the rostrum and gave the order again: "The parade begins, the pacesetters are in place" A team of ten pacesetters, dressed in military attache uniforms, carrying a spear with a triangular red flag tied under the red tassel on their shoulders, kicked into the playground, and after arriving at their predetermined positions, they stood and turned and changed their shoulder guns to a gun-holding posture.The role of the pacesetter is to instruct the teams participating in the parade to change their formation, direction of march, and change their footwork and attitude.When the team in question reaches the position of a pacesetter, it is necessary to change accordingly.After the pacesetters were in place, the military bands on both sides of the rostrum played the music of the prince's breaking formation.Drums beat and bamboos chirped in unison.Accompanied by Li Jing and Li Daozong, Li Shimin stepped down from the rostrum.The three soldiers of the garrison were already waiting under the rostrum with three horses.Li Shimin, Li Jing, and Li Daozong got on their horses, and the three soldiers of the garrison led the horses to the square team participating in the parade.Li Shimin was in front, and Li Jing and Li Daozong followed left and right.Whenever Li Shimin walked in front of the right side of a square team, the leader of the square team would give the command to "salute".The members of the team tilted their heads at the same time and saluted Li Shimin.At the same time, the team members shouted "Long live Your Majesty" or "Long live Datang" in unison.These two slogans are also shouted crosswise.The first team shouted "Long live Your Majesty", and the next team shouted "Long live the Tang Dynasty".Li Shimin sat on his horse, and the high-spirited North Korean team waved frequently.After Li Shimin passed a square team, the team leader gave the command of "finish the salute".The team members straightened their heads at the same time.On the rostrum, all the civil and military officers nodded their heads and praised when they saw the neat and uniform movements of the officers and soldiers under review and their high-spirited outlook.Those students of the third phase who acted as spectators were also envious.They can't wait for themselves to graduate immediately and be reviewed by the Tang Emperor.After reviewing the various teams, Li Shimin, Li Jing, and Li Daozong returned to the rostrum and sat down."
At the beginning of the column, the teams of all parties will adjust their formations" Zhao Yunze gave the order again.The flag bearer of the flag guard team changes from the flag-holding posture to the shoulder flag posture; The gun-wielding team in the arm-wielding team has a gun-holding posture changed to a shoulder gun position; The sword and shield hand team will change the knife and shield in their hands from the posture of hanging knife and shield to the posture of holding knife and end shield; The archers also changed their longbow from a vertical bow position to an end bow position.These movements are all changed at the same time, and the rhythm of the changes is clear, sonorous and powerful, and extremely ornamental."
Step by step" The team leaders of all parties gave the order.All the officers and men under review adjusted their formations on the spot.From facing the rostrum, to facing the rostrum.The flag-guarding team was the first to march in unison, followed by the rest of the teams.After making two turns in the playground, the flag guards began to pass the rostrum.When they walked to ten meters away from the rostrum, the team leader gave the command to "walk forward".At the same time, the flag guards changed the shoulder flag to a two-handed flag, and the team leader and all the flag guards pulled out the horizontal knife at their waist and stood in front of their chests.In the sonorous and powerful footsteps, the flag guard team passed the rostrum.As soon as Li Shimin heard the command to "walk forward", he stood up.Everyone on the rostrum also stood up and saluted the officers and soldiers under review.After the flag team, the faculty team also changed their footwork.Different from the flag protection team, the leader of the reading team in the back gives the command to "look to the right".When the members of the square team changed from marching in unison to stepping positively, they turned their heads to the right at the same time to salute His Majesty the Emperor and civil and military officials on the rostrum.When the armed team passed by the rostrum, the weapons in the hands of the team members also changed their holding postures.This posture change is more ornamental than the freehand square.Let those officials who watch this new type of parade parade for the first time be fascinated by it.In the past, when the Arsenal Special Administration was established, Zhao Yunze also organized a military parade.However, the number of people in that military parade was too small, and the training time was too short, so it was far less spectacular than this military parade.Even those officials who had seen the military parade of the Arsenal Special Administration, and today they watched the military parade in the Arsenal Hall, and they were also shocked.Finally, there were two cavalry formations.One cavalry squad was armed with a saber, the other with a lance.When passing in front of the rostrum, the members of the two teams raised their weapons in the sky.After each team passed the rostrum, they changed from a positive step to a unilateral step, and detoured back to the original position of the line.After the parade, Li Shimin delivered a speech and encouraged the trainees.After that, it was announced that the list of awards for this year's lecture hall was announced.The work was done by Li Jing.There are not only individuals but also units who receive awards; There are not only cadets, but also faculty and staff; There are not only the second batch of students, but also the third batch of students.The lecture hall rewards these advanced units and advanced individuals mainly based on spiritual rewards.All are pennants issued.In fact, last year, this kind of annual reward was implemented once, and the idea of the pennant was naturally from Zhao Yunze.This time, for the best among the awardees, in addition to the pennants issued by the lecture hall, Li Shimin also gave some small objects as rewards.After the award is completed, it is announced that the will of the second cohort of students is noted, and it is a will and not an order.This decree was read out by Li Daozong.All the students and faculty members knelt down and listened to the will.There are 800 students who have graduated, and it is impossible to read out the details of the conferment of titles one by one.In the will, only the titles and conferments of five typical students were read out, among which was Cheng Chumo.For the rest of the people, the decree only states that the students who enter the school with a loose rank will be promoted to one level with a loose rank, and the students who enter the school as an official and as a white ding will all be awarded the rank of military attache from the ninth rank or from the ninth rank.The specific circumstances of the award of titles and the arrangements for ministry shall be promulgated separately by the Ministry of War.At this point, the morning ceremony was completed.At this time, it was already noon, so it was a gluttonous feast.This is also the last meal that the second batch of students ate in the lecture hall.After lunch, most of the ministers left the lecture hall.Li Shimin and the officials of the Ministry of War, as well as the officials who were going to accept the graduates to serve in their places, remained.The third batch of trainees returned to their respective camps and began to pack their bags.In the afternoon, they were about to leave the lecture hall.Li Shimin took the officials who stayed behind, accompanied by the high-ranking officials of the lecture hall, and went deep into the camp tents of the graduating students and visited them.And had a cordial meeting with them.Don't want to move a group of students.At four o'clock in the afternoon, the graduating students gathered on the playground again with their bags.The officers of the military department read out the orders and assignments of each cadet.Then, the trainees whose names were called immediately went to the officials of the receiving unit to assemble.Their personal files have long been distributed to the officials of the receiving units.In fact, the students have long heard about their titles and assignments.Today, it's just a formal fulfillment procedure.For most of the afternoon, this work was carried out.The officers who read out the order from the military headquarters shouted with dry mouths, and several people were changed in the middle.Li Shimin really did what he said, and he personally sent the students out of school.Whenever the trainees of a unit arrived, the officials of the unit would take those trainees to the rostrum and bid farewell to Li Shimin and the other officials of the Jiangwutang.Li Shimin and others also always had to encourage the trainees.Whether others are tired or not, Zhao Yunze doesn't know, anyway, he feels quite tired.Talking can be so tiring, Zhao Yunze is the first time to experience it.But he looked at Li Shimin again, and greeted each student with a smile and earnestly entrusted, as if he was not bored from beginning to end, and he was always in good spirits.Alas, it's not easy to be an emperor, even if it's a play, it's quite physically and mentally exhausting.For most of the afternoon, there was a lot of commotion on the playground.Although it was not noisy, the scene was a little chaotic.The students always have a few words to say goodbye to each other.The whole playground has always been filled with a very complicated atmosphere.There is the joy of graduating and going to a new combat post, and there is also the feeling of regretting goodbye.If you want to say that the most tired, it is the people of the special combat team, because they have been standing guard on the playground from beginning to end, except for lunch.After most of the day, my legs were numb.Fortunately, it's a member of the special combat team, and if it were someone else, he really wouldn't be able to hold on.Because of this, Li Shimin also praised the special combat team's style and discipline and super physique.It wasn't until the sun went down that the trainees of the last unit left the playground.The last to go were those assigned to the firearms battalion.They were close, so they were the last to leave.Looking at the empty playground, Zhao Yunze was stunned.Those who should go are gone, and in the future, they will have to shed blood and sacrifice for Datang.In a year, three years, five years, ten years, twenty years, I don't know how many of these 800 people will have their names on the tombstones.are all hot-blooded boys:
