In the historical classics, in fact, you can find a lot of military parade records of the Central Plains Dynasty, but their parades do not let the soldiers form a phalanx to step on the right steps, and are generally carried out in the form of hunting.
Cui Zong shouted "parade", not "military parade", so the military parade in Miyagi Square was not a military parade at all, but a necessary "go through the motions".
This kind of "going through the motions" is definitely not Liu Yan's originality, let alone starting in today's Han Kingdom.
There are records that there was a similar scene as early as the Shang Dynasty, when the sacrifice was carried out, a large army would be placed, that is, after a certain war was won, the Shang Dynasty made a meritorious army appear during the sacrifice ceremony.
The Zhou Dynasty replaced the Shang Dynasty, and some of the traditions of the Shang Dynasty were continued, and when the princes entered the "court" to participate in certain activities, the Zhou royal family would also arrange a "parade" to show their strength.
In the middle and late Zhou Dynasty, especially in the Warring States Period, both the "parade" and the "military parade" were stopped for a time, that is, the Zhou royal family had no strong troops at all, and it was still embarrassing not to put it out.
In addition, the wars are fought almost every year by various wars, and there is no need to use the form of military parades to deter them, but to directly pull out troops to fight with other countries.
"Of course," Ran Min grinned, "A soldier is not a servant, and the meaning of the army's existence is for war." ” The troops who were conducting the "parade" were still a little far away, and the people watching the ceremony could chat casually, and they would inevitably talk about the affairs of the previous dynasties.
"Parade army" Xu Zheng thought about it for a while, and said with great certainty: "The elite naturally needs to be reviewed from time to time. ” It is a kind of supervision and training for the execution of orders and prohibitions, and it also shows that the army has always relied on the degree of obedience to orders, not just to see whether individuals can fight.
In fact, since the Zhou Dynasty, "military parades" and "parades" have not happened for a long time.
Similar things reappeared in the Western Han Dynasty, that is, even if the Han Empire had constant conflicts with the northern nomads, but in general it still maintained a relatively low intensity of local conflicts, and then the central government had the need to deter the local princes and kings, and from time to time it was necessary to pull out elite troops to demonstrate, so as to tell the princes and kings: Lao Tzu has such an army that is forbidden by order, you don't have any bad intentions.
"The Great Han is not the first Han, the Great Han has always been at war."
Ran Min said a little openly: "There is no Empress Dowager Dou in the king again." ” The colleagues around looked at Ran Min strangely, most of them didn't understand how such a person could still live well, and they seemed to be living quite nourishingly "Indeed."
Xie An said with great certainty: "Emperor Xiaowu of Han should be the one who has conducted the most military parades. ” Except for Xie An, no one wanted to talk to Ran Min.
There is no such thing as being convicted for words in the Han Kingdom, but it is really not good to die like that.
The person who likes military parades the most in history is Liu Che, that was during the suppression of the Empress Dowager Dou, and he couldn't really pull out the troops to fight with those who wanted to fight.
There are relevant records that during the suppression of the Empress Dowager Dou, he had to conduct military exercises in Shanglin Yuan almost every three days, at first shouting some slogans and the like, and then gradually turning to hunting, which really allowed him to train a strong army in this way.
The backbone of the troops in the bloody battle between the Han army and the Xiongnu was basically the group of warriors he trained in Shanglinyuan.
After Liu Che began to wage war with the Xiongnu, the "parade" and "military parade" basically disappeared in the Central Plains, not only did Liu Che not do it again during his reign, but also did the emperors of the Han Empire in the future, because Confucianism strongly opposed doing similar things.
In fact, the real reason is that the Han army has been too strong and really strong since Liu Che, so that literati, including Confucianism, can't raise their heads, and whether to do similar things is no longer a matter of whether they can't do it, it can be regarded as a kind of class struggle between literati and martial artists.
Since the early Han Dynasty, except for the large-scale military parades that occurred many times during the founding period of each change of dynasty, the second generation of heirs basically did not appear again after they ascended the throne.
In the Two Song Dynasty, the parade simply became an acrobatic performance, and the so-called 800,000 forbidden troops, there were not many who could go to the battlefield to open the film.
Later, during the Yongle period, there was a super-large military parade, which was in response to the king of a powerful Central Asian country saying that he would once again complete Kublai Khan's great cause, but the king fell ill and died in the middle of the march.
As for "I Daqing" and the like, it is actually still very interesting, but it is basically a pure performance nature.
In peacetime, military exercises and military parades are actually quite necessary, and they are a direct and effective way to boost the morale of the military, and they can also increase the sense of national pride.
If some countries have a war from time to time, the battlefield is the best parade ground, resulting in countries that are really at war more inclined to entertainment during the parade, and it becomes a kind of relaxed parade.
The reason why military generals attach importance to military drills and parades is that they see similar behaviors as a way to train troops, especially to remind troops to maintain discipline at all times.
"Each standing army can be regarded as a meritorious army."
"Nature."
"I just can't walk like the Praetorian Guard." “” That's something I can't say at all.,The Praetorian Guard is a "mass-produced" force.,In addition to the random appearance of the troops.,The height of a class is fixed.,They can walk in formation completely neatly.,If people now know what a robot is.,Definitely shout like that.。
The thirteen standing armies of the Han State were established in a precedent manner.
The standing army ranked in the top five is basically the army that followed Liu Yan from Qingzhou and went through the entire battle of revenge against the Qian.
The troops outside the top five, the sixth to the tenth were formed in the later stages of the war against the Qian, and the tenth to thirteenth were simply the troops formed in the battle of the steppe and the battle against Yan.
The thirteen standing armies were indeed meritorious troops, and they had successively held their own ceremonies to present prisoners, but in recent years, the ceremonies of sacrificing prisoners to the king have been held rarely.
Today there will be a ceremony of sacrifice of prisoners, which is a tribute to the king of the Gupta Dynasty prisoners of war captured in the war.
"The navy is independent of the thirteen standing armies."
"Isn't it?"
"Ah San's prisoners of war are considered the results of the 7th and 9th Standing Army and the Navy together."
The Han State had thirteen standing armies, the Tiger Army was a mounted heavy cavalry, the Yulin Army was a comprehensive cavalry, and there were the first, second, and fourth cavalry armies, and the remaining third, fifth, and eleventh were infantry armies.
In addition to the thirteen standing armies, Liu Yan also established a unit operating firearms in the seventh year of Yuanshuo, and each standing army was deployed separately, with the Yulin Army having the largest number of auxiliary firearms troops.
The firearms of the Han State were used most in the battle against Yan, and they were basically not used on a large scale later, but the experiment never stopped.
In the seventh year of Yuan Shuo, Liu Yan ordered the development of a warship that could carry a bronze cannon, which is currently in the experimental stage and has not yet been completed.
Even so, when the neat and uniform soldiers marched to the predetermined position of the square, including the members of the foreign envoys and those non-governmental people, in addition to being stunned, they were shocked.
"It's pompous, it's pompous" Aulus Saxus Cicero used two exclamations in succession: "We have similar activities in Rome, but it's too casual to walk." ” Kianus Arta Ardashir simply had nothing to say, whether it was the Parthian Empire or the Sassanid Empire, the Persians basically did not engage in military exercises and other activities, and they were very lacking in this aspect.
Compared with the Persians, the Romans were very fond of similar activities, and every time they won a foreign war, they would go to the city of Rome to hold a triumphal ceremony, but there were many elements of the spoils of war, and then the soldiers were allowed to accept the flowers and cheers of the Roman citizens, and there would be a queue to enter the city, but as Aulus Sextus Cicero said, it was just a parade in the streets, and it was really not a military parade.

Just when people who had never seen a similar scene were amazed, the phalanx that had already arrived at the position suddenly sounded singing.
A total of 6,000 soldiers sang Shang Song Liezu, which was originally a poem used to sing praises to Chengtang, but it was also suitable for sacrificial purposes, and there was no conflict with the worship of ancestors in the Zhuxia civilization, and the conflict was that the Zhou Dynasty would not do that.
When the soldiers of the Han army sang the praises of Shang Liezu, the momentum was incomparably grand, and the first sentence was "Sigh Liezu has rank Sihu."
It is full of the characteristics of respecting the ancestors of the Zhuxia civilization, which translates to "praise the great fortune of my ancestors."
The whole poem is actually the process of singing the praises of the ancestors, and then praying to the ancestors for blessings.
Because of the particularity of Shang Song Liezu, the Han army who sang in unison sang the sentence "Come to the fake feast, and the blessing is boundless" as the end, just because the final ending "Gu Yuhao tastes, Tang Sun's general" is the exclusive word of Cheng Tang's descendants.
"What are they singing?"
said Aulus Sykestus Cicero with an anxious face on his face, who had already made up his mind that Rome could learn from the Han state, and that was how he was eager.
The translator is full of confusion, he just understands ordinary Chinese, and he really doesn't understand too profound There are three kinds of songs in the Book of Songs, namely Shang Song, Zhou Song and Lu Song.
Shang Song and Zhou Song are both singing praises to the founding monarch's martial arts, Lu itself is a vassal state, really not qualified to compose any "ode", the question is that the princes of Lu are the historians of the Zhou royal family, or "respect the long country", and then Confucius and his old man "go to the "innocent" when he "went to the poems", leaving only what he thinks is appropriate, so that the future generations see the Book of Poetry is actually incomplete.
Confucius, who was a native of Lu, of course, would leave Lu Song, and then Lu Song, in addition to the relatively shameless praise of Duke Xu's martial arts, expressed a strong desire for Lu to restore his position as an elder at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty.
When it is necessary to chant the verses about the song, basically no ruler of any dynasty will bother with Lu Song, but the Ludi people will sing Lu Song from time to time behind closed doors, especially the Confucian disciples of Yilu are the longest, that is they really eager to get something.
"It's all ironclad" Goodhouse's eyes widened, and he looked like he was going to stay with saliva: "I thought Rome would be rich enough, but I didn't expect Seris to be stronger" One of the armies that marched to Miyagi Square was indeed a delicate metal armor, the difference was that the Praetorian Guards were based on the fish scale armor system, and the rest were based on the plate armor system.
It's hard to say whether the Romans were rich or not, but their armies were mostly leather-armoured, and only a handful of legions were equipped with metal armour.
Roman leather armor is a hard-pressed style, it is really not a layer of leather to finish the matter, it is usually formulated according to the figure of the owner used, and it has to be said that the protection is really not much weaker than metal armor.
In terms of metal armor, the metal armor of Rome is a plate-like laminated style that looks like a leather shrimp.
The current Germanic people are undoubtedly barbarians, the vast majority of Germanic tribes are still using stone tools, and only a few Germanic tribes have metal weapons, that is because they have not mastered the smelting technology at all, and the desire for metal weapons is infinitely high.
It's not really hard to feel like listening to the chant on the spot, but if you are in it, you can fully experience the atmosphere, especially if you feel it in your heart.
Many of you here have not heard the poems in the Book of Songs for too long, especially on such a solemn occasion, so that many of them are tearful and extremely excited.
"It's worth it, it's totally worth it" "I thought there would be no such scene in this life, but it was really worth it" Zhang Kang and Sun Fang are the second people with tears in their eyes, they were both officials of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty before, and they could hear the poems in the Book of Poetry in private occasions, but the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is no longer shameless and will not make a big scene to celebrate anything, and it has to be from Hu Lu to recover the Central Plains to have that face to do.
As long as you are a descendant of Zhuxia, you will inevitably have a resonance with the poem, that is, you don't know a big word, and listen to people read poetry, even if you can't understand the artistic conception, you will have an inexplicable feeling, which is an emotion that belongs to the descendants of Zhuxia.
Liu Yan belongs to people who can't understand the meaning of poetry, but it doesn't prevent him from having the emotions that arise from being a descendant of Zhuxia.
People like his generation, the general environment of growth is dominated by white-skinned culture, occasionally I hear pop songs adapted from ancient poems, as long as it is not difficult to hear and torture the ears, just listening to music full of Zhuxia characteristics will feel comfortable, and will feel that the lyrics are simply too beautiful.
"Shen'er."
Liu Yan asked Liu Shen seriously: "Do you know what a root is?"
Liu Shen began to learn to read and write at the age of four, but he did not have time to learn too advanced knowledge, and was obviously unable to answer his father's questions.
"The root is to accept the beneficial culture of the foreign while not forgetting the part that belongs to Zhuxia."
Liu Yan looked at the ignorant Liu Shen and emphasized word by word: "Once the culture of Zhuxia disappears, Zhuxia will be gone."
Be sure to keep this in mind":
