Chapter 83 Prisoner Sacrifice Ceremony (4) The military parade begins Seeing that Li Jing was the shopkeeper, everything fell on his head, but he couldn't dodge it, and in desperation, Li Zhen had no choice but to take over the job and began to prepare for the military parade seriously.
In terms of true talent and practical learning, although Li Zhen is not as good as Li Jing, he has also commanded several major battles, and he has won big victories, and he can be regarded as a victorious general, and it is no problem to command tens of thousands of troops.
Besides, although those old foxes are a little overcast, their concerns are also right, after all, the military parade has not appeared in previous history, although everyone understands the benefits of the big military parade, but if they want to say a specific sub-ugly Yinmao, make up a specific process, I'm afraid it can't be done in three or five months - there are these three or five months, and the daylilies are cold.
Li Zhen is different, after all, he is from the next generation, although he doesn't understand the specific process of the big military parade very well, but he has never eaten pork, and he has not seen a pig run?
In his later life, he watched the military parade on TV, and he remembered some specific projects very clearly, and it was not difficult to reason backwards - even with Li Jing's amazing talent, it was absolutely unimaginable, after all, creation is always a little bit more difficult than a cottage.
Li Zhen has this kind of memory, and it is helpless that Li Jing is not as good as him.
Li Jing was also careless about this, but kept boasting that Li Zhen was delicate and good at grasping people's hearts.
Regarding Li Jing's compliment, Li Zhen smiled on her face, but she couldn't stop rolling her eyes in her heart - old fox, you pray, don't fall into the hands of this palace in the future.
Although Li Zhen is full of confidence in commanding the military parade, there are still many problems that need to be solved urgently.
For example, the specific number of people in the big parade, this big parade, the Tang Dynasty prepared a full 100,000 elites to join (it seemed to be less before, here to correct it, 100,000 people, except for a few thousand people in the youth army, the rest are drawn from the meritorious army), which is also what Li Zhen meant.
Originally, the imperial court was ready to transfer 300,000 people, but Li Zhen thought that 300,000 was too much to mobilize the people, and with the process of the military parade, the last project, the army was going to walk around Chang'an City, but let the 300,000 army surround Chang'an for a whole day, and the sky is estimated to be dark, so how should the next ceremony be carried out?
What's more, the big parade is enough just to show the might of the Tang army, and it doesn't matter how many people there are, so Li Zhen directly cut off 200,000, leaving only 100,000 people is enough - just this, or the result of Li Zhen's compromise, originally Li Zhen's meaning, 50,000 people is more than enough, 100,000 people is still a bit too much, after all, the more people, the more troublesome it is to train, compared with the difficulty of training 50,000 people and 100,000 people, it is not as simple as multiplying two.
However, the imperial court did not agree, and in the end, Li Zhen could only give up, and at the same time sent the young army in his hands to serve as instructors for 100,000 people to help them do some basic training.
Of course, the ancient military parade and the modern military parade are definitely different, the modern military parade mainly shows off science and technology, guns, aircraft, tanks, nuclear weapons, as for the military appearance, which country can't do it?
As long as they go through rigorous training, even recruits who have not been on the battlefield can put on an excellent lineup, there is no doubt about it.
And ancient times are different, ancient science and technology are backward, although the Tang Dynasty's armor and sharp weapons are much better than those of all ethnic groups, but these alone are not enough to cause shock, because cold weapons are not the key to determining the victory, in ancient times, equipment is not the most important, more important is strategy and morale, the important thing is people, lies in the strength of the soldiers, but these two points, unless they are against each other on the battlefield, it is difficult to show others through what kind of operation - as for artillery, this is still a secret of Datang, it is impossible to show it on the parade, even if it is displayed, it is impossible to fire artillery at the parade, and even if it is pulled out, what is the use?
Fortunately, Li Zhen is a person who came from the era of the information explosion after all, and has nothing else, but his knowledge is far beyond that of the ancients, in other words, he has a lot of ghost ideas.
In the end, he finally found a way - we can't use technology to intimidate the world, so let's crush you in terms of momentum.
Straight to the point.
Except for the treasure area, which was still guarded, the rest of the square was still silent.
A quarter of an hour later, the great military parade destined to go down in history began.
On this day, 150,000 Tang Dynasty troops will enter the city from the south gate of Chang'an Mingde Gate on this day, along the Zhuque Street, to the imperial city of Zhuque Gate, to accept the review of the Tang Emperor, and then go out of Chang'an from the west of Jinguang Gate, around Chang'an, in addition to deterring the envoys of various countries, but also let the people of the Tang Dynasty can see the grandeur of our Tang army, far better than any dynasty in prehistory.
Offering treasure is just an appetizer, from the beginning of the morning to the end of the hour, and so the big military parade begins, this is only the beginning of the day, the sun has just risen three poles, it is the best time of the day.
This Suzaku Gate is located in the center of the entire imperial city (it is the imperial city not the palace city), and it is also the south gate of the Tang Imperial City.
Under the Suzaku Gate is the central axis of Tang Chang'an City, Suzaku Street.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the emperor often held celebrations here.
In the third year of Zhenguan (629), after Xuanzang returned in order to obtain the true scriptures, the welcoming ceremony was held at the main gate of the Tang Imperial City, the Suzaku Gate.
There are five doorways in total, which is the highest level of the ancient capital gate, and together with the Danfeng Gate and Mingde Gate of the same five doorways, it constitutes the imperial city of Chang'an City, the palace city of Daming Palace, and the main gate of Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
In the middle of the Suzaku Gate and the Vermilion Bird Street, there is a huge square, that is, the Vermilion Bird Square, this square was built in the tenth year of Zhenguan, was ordered by Li Shimin himself, the specific reason is because of the smooth development of the Tang Dynasty in these years, even if there are natural and man-made disasters, but in the timely response of the imperial court, so as to be effectively controlled.
With the development of the Tang Dynasty becoming stronger and stronger, Li Shimin also liked to have fun with the people, so a square was built here, enough for more than 100,000 people to carnival at the same time (in addition, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was also a Chengtianmen special place for celebration, and there was also a square before Chengtianmen, but the definition of Chengtianmen was to welcome the messenger and hold a major ceremony, such as the queen's canonization ceremony and the prince's canonization ceremony a few days later, all of which were to be held in Chengtianmen.
It's just that Chengtianmen is between the imperial city and the palace city, and ordinary people can't enter it at all, which is why the prisoner sacrifice ceremony was not held at Chengtianmen.
