The national anthem fell, but the aftertaste was lingering for a long time.
Zhu Xu looked at this national flag, his expression was indescribable, and his heart fluctuated.
The last dynasty of the Han people, which was full of disasters and difficulties, finally ushered in a new life!
Zhang Yun next to him couldn't quite understand Zhu Xu's emotions, after the national anthem, Yu Guang kept looking at Zhu Xu, watching quietly, and his eyes fluctuated slightly.
Bi Ziyan on the right side of Zhu Xu, Sun Chengzong and other five pavilion elders, although their expressions also had a lot of feelings, they quickly broke free, and they all looked at the front solemnly.
The six Shangshu, the squire, the governor, and the governor under the high platform, their performance was even worse, and they looked somewhat relieved.
However, some ordinary people outside were even more excited than Zhu Xu, looking at the fluttering national flag, extremely excited, their eyes were blazing, and their essence was shining.
In the upper left corner of the high platform, Shen Yongmao on the square platform looked at the national flag to the end, took a deep breath, looked at the sundial not far away, and said in a deep voice: "After the national anthem, the big martial arts, start!"
” There are no too many cumbersome procedures, simple and straightforward!
Zhu Xu withdrew his eyes, leaned on the wall with both hands, and looked to the left.
With a loud shout, the door that had been closed slowly opened.
Knock knock Immediately, the bells and drums rang in unison, and the heavy sound sounded in this place of performance.
This is 'military music', thick and powerful, killing and stirring, and shaking people's hearts.
Everyone's hearts sank, and their eyes looked at the open door, and a group of five hundred people armed with spears and dressed in black armor appeared, their faces facing forward, their spears clenched, their legs raised, their upper bodies motionless, the sound of stamping was dense, forceful, crisp, strode slowly and quickly from east to west.
Zhu Xu looked at this team and nodded secretly, this is already a rebirth compared to those guards seven years ago, and it has not been in vain his hard work and investment over the years.
Immediately after that, the second team was the shield soldiers, holding thick shields, and then appeared, their steps were more like stomping their feet, and each step made the ground, and even the high platform, tremble, neat, powerful, and not chaotic at all.
Although he had only walked more than 20 meters, Zhu Xu could already see the entire team, and he was very comforted.
The combat effectiveness of an army must first look at discipline, the stronger the discipline, the higher the combat effectiveness, Zhu Xu is very satisfied!
Zhu Xu was satisfied, and the expressions of several pavilion elders beside him did not move, but their eyes flashed slightly.
Although this kind of martial arts performance is a bit of 'child's play', but at a glance, you can see that the whole leopard, the army of the Ming Dynasty is indeed different, and their elders' hearts are all relaxed.
The army is the most powerful support for all reforms, and if there is a strong army, even if there is really any chaos, it can be quickly suppressed, and it will be safe to start all over again.
The six Shangshu and others under the high platform can also understand a little, and their faces are as usual, looking at them quietly.
As a governor, the governor, as a local dignitary, can see some doorways, silently and thoughtfully staring.
Under Zhu Xu's influence for many years, these Ming officials have seen that things have made subtle progress, and if it was in the past, I am afraid that they would have 'forcibly admonished' long ago.
However, the Ming court can see some doorways, and those envoys and lords are a little inexplicable, they don't understand.
Ming soldiers, just go on a trip?
Is this a martial arts?
Even if they have watched the Ming Dynasty perform martial arts twice, they were deeply shocked by the envoys and lords of North Korea, Horqin, Ryukyu and other countries, at this time, they were all puzzled, looked at the high platform, and then looked below, with a puzzled face.
They were puzzled, not to mention the envoys of Siam, Burma, Nanzhang and so on.
The Chahar envoy who was originally worried and under great pressure, Anda Shan breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
If the Ming army is just such a showcase, then they have nothing to fear!
The ordinary people not far away are even more inexplicable, the army is coming over one phalanx after another, is this a martial arts?
What's there to see?
They can too!
Too many people looked dazed, and their eyes had shifted from the army to the high platform.
They don't know, what the hell is the court doing, and what is the emperor's expression?
Zhu Xu didn't care, he kept staring at the phalanxes.
Behind the shields were javelins, archers, then muskets, arrows, cavalry, and so on, one phalanx after another, each of which was solemn and solemn, and there was no mistake at all.
The sound of stepping was very neat, like a voice, Zhu Xu was watching, with a smile on his face all the time.
Although these are the most elite armies of the Ming Dynasty, and the others may be incomparable, this is enough to show that the army of the Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes!
Even if the other armies are bad, they will not be ridiculously bad!
Zhang Yun stood beside Zhu Xu, she didn't understand either, she blinked, and quietly glanced at Zhu Xu, still dignified, quiet without a trace of mistakes.
The phalanx of 12,000 people took more than half an hour to complete, and in the end, even some auxiliary ministers of the cabinet felt that it was a bit 'cumbersome', unnecessary, boring, unable to distinguish the meaning inside, and frowned.
Shen Yongmao stood on the square platform, watched the phalanx finish, waved the flag in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Artillery, prepare!"
” As soon as the word 'artillery' came out, the cabinet ministers, the six ministers, the squires, the governors and governors of various places, and the foreign envoys, all of them were shaken and looked up at the artillery position not far away.

A lot of people are here for this!
It was a high ground with nearly a thousand guns erected on it, facing the gravel area to the south.
Many people have already seen the artillery of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Fu.
The construction of that sea exercise, those who have seen it are still unforgettable!
Chahar's Anda Mountain looked extremely serious, before he came, his brother Lin Dan Khan specially explained, asking him to find out what the power of the Ming Dynasty's artillery was, and what kind of threat it would have to them.
The envoys of Nanzhang, Burma and other countries also opened their eyes wide, their relationship with the Ming Dynasty was or is not good now, if the Ming force is too strong, they need to deal with it as soon as possible!
Horqin, North Korea, Ryukyu and other threatened countries are even more eager to see, they need the protection of the Ming Dynasty, and the strong Ming Dynasty is beneficial and harmless to them!
The ordinary people outside the fence are even more looking forward to it, they all know that now Da Ming is determined to develop 'strange skills and tricks', among which artillery has invested the most, and it will be as high as millions of taels of silver next year!
This is also one of the 'handles' of today's imperial court, I don't know how many people have been scolded by me, how many people have written to impeach, and admonished.
Cao Wenzhao stood at the easternmost end of the artillery array, holding a flag in his hand, looking at the artillery that was gradually raising the muzzle of the gun, waiting for orders.
"Let's go!"
Shen Yongmao drank and waved the flag violently.
"Fire!"
Cao Wenzhao waved the flag at the same time and shouted loudly.
Bang bang bang One cannon after another was ignited, and shells flew out, filling the sky in an instant.
Eight hundred cannons were fired one after another, the shells rained down, the cannons roared like thunder, and no other sound could be heard in this huge martial arts arena!
Boom, boom, boom Before everyone could react, a thousand feet away, I couldn't count how far away, and the shells exploded intensively, the smoke and dust billowed out, the rocks flew, and the sky trembled.
The two-mile-long belt of rubble, with almost nothing else in sight, was all shells exploding, rolling up smoke and dust like waves.
"Thunder bomb ready!"
Cao Wenzhao waved the flag and shouted again.
One by one, the artillerymen reloaded, and the gunners immediately ignited.
Bang bang bang The muzzle of the cannon surrounded by green smoke once again shot out different kinds of shells, flying all over the sky, like black rain, falling towards the smoky and dusty belt of rubble.
This time the explosion was not as intense as the previous one, thick and dull, but gave people a feeling of 'exhilaration'.
Immediately after, wisps of fire appeared in the dusty place, and it didn't take long for these fires to spread rapidly, and the two-mile-long gravel belt seemed to suddenly ignite a fire, and the fire was blazing, like a fire python, churning endlessly, enough to swallow half a zhang high!
The artillery continued, and in the rumbling sound, shells flew out, like a blazing fire cooking oil, and the fire of the gravel belt rose into the sky, as if to drown everything!
Even after a few miles, the people watching from a distance felt the blazing heat, their faces were hot, and almost all of them had a great change in expression and horror.
On the high platform, Zhu Xu squinted, his expression flashed solemnly, he let out a long breath in his heart, and his face showed a smile.
He knew that the Ordnance Bureau had been developing an 'incendiary bomb', and this must be it.
Although the lethality of this incendiary bomb is not large, the deterrent effect is absolutely amazing, whether it is infantry or cavalry, even if it is a battle at sea, it can also play a big role, after all, the current warships are still mainly wooden!
Zhang Yun's pretty face was a little pale, and from her point of view, the fire was churning there, surging everywhere, like a demon with fangs and claws, able to devour everything, too scary!
She bit her lip lightly, and when everyone didn't pay attention to her, she whispered to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty......"
Zhu Xu didn't move, quietly pulled her little hand, and shook it hard.
Zhang Yun's mind suddenly settled down, pursed his lips, and finally recovered his manners, standing quietly beside Zhu Xu.
The five pavilion elders on Zhu Xu's right had different expressions, but they were all extremely shaken.
Except for Sun Chengzong, the expressions of the others changed one after another, and their eyes were surprised.
The six books, most of them were still seeing each other for the first time, and they were deeply shocked, and countless thoughts were surging in their hearts, and they all changed to a stiff look at this moment.
The governors and governors of various places are even more incredible, and it is the first time they know that Daming has such a firearm!
If these firearms are fully utilized, there is still a fear of civil unrest, Chahar, and Burma, which will be enough to sweep away!
Everyone in the Ming court was excited, their eyes were blazing, they were surprised by this kind of cannon, their eyes could not be retracted, and their minds were a little chaotic.
Even if the ironclad cavalry crossed the sea of fire and blasted an impassable place of smoke and dust again with arrows and cannons, they didn't care much anymore, just stared at the sea of fire, and couldn't return to their senses for a long time.
Seeing this, Shen Yongmao simply stopped the following procedures and continued to fire directly.
One cannon after another fired, one after another cannonballs flew out, without stopping, dense and terrible, the gravel field has been unrecognizable, surging fire like a sea, constantly expanding, in a short period of time formed a flame zone as long as four miles long and about one mile wide!
Even in broad daylight, the blazing flames swayed into the sky, illuminating half the sky!
The head of the country under the high platform made the ministers stunned and couldn't close their mouths in shock!
How do you cross such a sea of fire?

If the two armies encounter such a sea of fire, the formation will inevitably be disordered instantly, and the momentum will be completely lost, and they can only be slaughtered!
Whether it is a foot soldier or a cavalry, in the face of such a sea of fire, there is no ability to continue to attack!
These envoys are not ordinary people, they have some knowledge, their hearts are shocked, and they can't help but look up at the Ming officials in front of them, and then they all turn their heads to look at His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who has been standing still on the high platform!
I don't know if it's an illusion, at this moment, His Majesty the Ming Emperor in their eyes is as if he is in the scorching sun, surrounded by golden light, majestic and tall, and cannot be looked at directly!
The people of Daming not far away, even if they had never joined the army and watched the battle, this fire that was almost devouring the sky and the earth still shocked them.
Such a flame burns out as soon as a person enters, right?
How many miles away can you kill an enemy army?
What else is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty!
I don't know how long it took, the cannons had stopped, but everyone hadn't come back to their senses, the deafening cannon sound seemed to be still ringing, and the blazing flames were still surging, so that they couldn't come back to their senses!
The phalanx infantry who had just practiced martial arts trotted in front of the high platform, the artillery quickly assembled, and the heavy cavalry and other neat formations were not far in front of the high platform, directly in front of Zhu Xu.
"Long live our emperor!
Long live the Ming Dynasty!
” Cao Wenzhao stood at the front, suddenly knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.
As soon as he knelt, the infantry behind him quickly followed, knelt on one knee, and shouted, "Long live my emperor!"
Long live the Ming Dynasty!
” Like a tide, the artillery, cavalry, etc. behind quickly knelt on the ground, followed by a shout, and the sound shook the sky and lingered.
Shen Yongmao, the commander of the Great Yanwu, got off the Sifang Stage, and the six Shangshu, the squire, and the governors came out of the ranks, and they raised their hands to Zhu Xu neatly.
"Long live our emperor!
Long live the Ming Dynasty!
” The voice is Lang Lang, straight into the sky!
Immediately, on the high platform, the five auxiliary ministers bowed sideways to Zhu Xu and said, "Long live my emperor!"
Long live the Ming Dynasty!
” Zhang Yun turned sideways, bowed, and said crisply: "Long live my emperor!"
Long live the Ming Dynasty!
” The shouting and saluting happened almost instantly, and before the envoys and the lord of the country could react, hundreds of people not far away suddenly knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"
Long live the Ming Dynasty!
” These voices soon converged into a line, resounding in the martial arts arena, high and loud, reverberating like thunder, endlessly!
Before you know it, almost everyone is chanting, 'Long live my emperor!'
Long live the Ming Dynasty', deafening, resounding all over the world!
Only those lords and envoys, they have not yet reacted.
But soon, the Ryukyu Prime Minister, Shang Lian, and his daughter Shang Jing turned to the high platform and raised their hands to worship: "Long live my emperor!"
Long live the Ming Dynasty!
” Then there were the two lords of North Korea, who were almost wearing the same costumes, and bowed down to the high platform!
Then there is the Horqin Great Khan Bada Ceremony, he uses the Ming etiquette, bows with a long body, and his voice is heavy and forceful.
Whether they wanted to or not, Nanzhang, Siam and other envoys also stood up and bowed to Zhu Xu, as for what was exhaled, it was impossible to distinguish in the surging voice.
Immediately in Burma, the envoys of Chahar also came out and paid homage to Zhu Xu.
In this huge martial arts arena, everyone is worshipping Zhu Xu, even if they are bowing their heads even to the grass and gravel!
Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, wearing a dragon robe, and watched all this quietly.
His face was expressionless, his expression was majestic, and he was on a high platform, as if he was on top of the world, overlooking the whole world!
