Dominate the Country

February 1, the eleventh year of Chengtian.

In the auditorium of the Grand Commandery, a group of people stood in military posture, waiting for the arrival of a rare highlight in their life journey.

These were a group of officers and colonels who returned to Nanjing from various battlefields, and the meritorious officials in Beijing - mainly officers from the logistics department.

Some of them were still lieutenants, some were generals, some were admiral generals, and some were great generals.

But after today, their military careers have reached a new level and have a brand new beginning.

They will become generals, admiral generals, great generals, and even marshals.

The lowest rank of this batch of officers will be generals, and those with lower ranks will not be qualified to enter. And another group of people, including soldiers, non-commissioned officers and middle and low-level officers, will indeed have to wait until the end of the awarding ceremony before the officers and soldiers who have made meritorious contributions will go on stage to be awarded medals.

Yes, there is one more marshal in the National Defense Army.

The third marshal after Chen Ming and Chen Erbao. The person who was awarded the rank was not the commander-in-chief of the North American Expeditionary Force, who had made outstanding contributions, but Chen Quan, the head of the Logistics Department who had been staying in Nanjing.

Many people subconsciously wanted to object. However, after thinking carefully, everyone could not find any reason to refute.

The North American Expeditionary Force had made great contributions, but the logistics department was responsible for the preparation of military supplies for multiple battlefields. Was his contribution small?

In this era when logistics supply is becoming more and more important, what's wrong with the head of logistics being awarded the rank of marshal?

Liu Laosan, two thousand years ago, knew that Xiao He was the first among his meritorious officials.

In addition, this was a carnival feast for military academies who had just left the battlefield.

In the evening newspaper of that day, the names and titles of a series of people who were awarded the medals were published on the front page. These people not only received promotions in military positions and ranks, but also medals.

It was the first time that Chen Ming awarded so many gold medals in one go.

From officers to soldiers, a total of 39 people won gold medals in the wars in North America, Southeast Asia and Burma. Chen Ming personally awarded them medals one by one, without any complaints or trouble.

The status of the gold medal in the National Defense Army is very high. The reason for this "high status" is not only the meaning of the gold medal itself, but also a rule that has been circulated in the National Defense Army until now - the awarding of the gold medal must be granted by the emperor himself.

This medal, which is already shining with golden light, has once again been coated with a layer of dazzling light.

February 2nd is the eleventh anniversary of the establishment of Chen Han, and it is also the day of the grand military parade.

The weather was fine on this day, the spring sunshine was shining, and the breeze was gentle.

The sound of golden drums, accompanied by the majestic military music, one by one, neat and majestic square formations passed by the eyes of thousands of people.

For ordinary people, the military parade has always been an exciting day. When the majestic square formation marched past them in front of them, a surge of blood rushed, and that kind of excitement and excitement could not be given by work and money.

In the city of Nanjing on February 2nd, the market was depressed.

Because a full 200,000 people rushed to Chaoyang Gate, and there were nearly 10,000 working and guarding personnel alone. At 1 o'clock in the morning, the spectators began to enter the venue one after another. Everyone had to be searched, and they had to go through more than one extraction.

When the red sun had risen from the east, the warm sunlight shone on everyone, making people feel comfortable. A full 200,000 spectators had all arrived. This was the largest number of spectators in Chen Han's several military parades so far.

The willows on the banks of Crescent Lake in the distance were swaying, the breeze suddenly rose, the waves jumped, and the lake was full of broken gold.

The guests of the ceremony from various vassal states and diplomatic countries were divided into two parts and boarded the viewing platform. The military parade ceremony officially began at nine o'clock.

As the order was issued, 72 soldiers lined up in four rows, wearing neat uniforms of the navy and the army, holding rifles with bayonets, and walked into the parade ground step by step accompanied by military music. Every time the soldiers advanced a distance, two privates were separated and stood straight on both sides of the road like street lights. By the time the team reached the last 100 meters, only half of the 72-man team had been left.

The first person carried a red flag on his shoulder, and there were two guards on the left and right, wearing the uniforms of the army and the navy respectively. Three steps behind, holding ceremonial swords, and then eight teams and four rows of soldiers.

Except for the slightly different dress and the number of people at the beginning, Chen Ming completely copied the Rabbit's national flag guard team in terms of etiquette and system.

Because he built a white marble flagpole base outside Chaoyang Gate, the model was completely copied from Rabbit's.

It's just that in this era, artificial music is still required, and he also organized a military band, which is now in place.

From today onwards, there will be a high-standard flag-raising ceremony outside Chaoyang Gate at 7 o'clock every day.

This well-trained national flag guard team has been carefully prepared by the Grand Governor's Office for two years. The young men in it are not only handsome, but also 1.8 meters tall.

Standing together and marching in step, it's so handsome.

Seeing the unique opening scene of the military parade, not only the domestic guests were shocked. The ambassadors from Britain, France, Sweden and Russia, who were familiar with the military parade ceremony, also had to praise it.

The Chinese once again played a new trick in the military parade.

When the "Red Turban Army Battle Song", which was defined as the national anthem of the Chen Han Dynasty, was played, the entire Chaoyang Gate became quiet in an instant.

The lyrics of "Red Turban Army Battle Song" are very vulgar and indecent. When this song was first set as the national anthem, many people opposed it. Even some senior generals in the army thought it was not good.

Compared with this song, they supported "Nine Songs·National Martyrdom", "Manjianghong", "Ming·Victory Song", etc., and even the "Han Army Song" without a beginning or an end was more popular than "Red Turban Army Battle Song".

But Chen Ming still decided on this "Red Turban Army Battle Song".

What's wrong with this song?

Vulgar? Who could still go elegantly when they rebelled with their heads on the line?

The meaning is unclear and it damages the national system?

That is to let everyone in the country remember the shame in Chinese history. This shame must be engraved in the hearts of all Chinese people forever, and never forget the hatred of the country's destruction and the shame of the world's destruction.

When all the preludes ended, there were thunderous shouts and bursts of music in front of Chaoyang Gate. The student phalanx in the crowd occasionally raised flowers and flags to form auspicious words such as "Long live His Majesty", "Mighty Han Army", "Peace and Prosperity for the Country and the People".

Robert and others on the wall were all stunned.

Countless guests, regardless of whether they were from the East or the West, all had the same six words in their hearts at this time: I learned another trick!

It was really ahead of its time to play such a trick at the military parade in the late 18th century.

"Great worries bring forth sages, great adversities bring forth nations. Remembering the past is a lesson for the future."

"History tells us that a strong country must have a strong army, and a strong army can ensure the safety of the country. A strong army and a solid national defense have always been a reliable barrier for national peace and the happiness of the people."

"The tragic experience of the Han people at the end of the Song Dynasty and the end of the Ming Dynasty is recorded in history. Historical books eloquently prove that without a strong army, we would not have everything we have now as a country and a nation."

"Over the past 20 years of hard work and progress, the army has established immortal merits for the rejuvenation of China, the independence of our nation, and the prosperity of our country. It has made important contributions to safeguarding national sovereignty, rights, security and development, and maintaining international and regional stability."

"At present, our national defense has developed into a powerful army with multiple arms combined on land and sea. Defending the country and protecting the stability and interests of the people are the common aspirations of all the soldiers and the earnest trust of the government and the people."

"Each generation of soldiers has its own generation of soldiers The responsibility of a person is different from that of a soldier. "

"Now our army is no longer the Chen family army that was hiding in the mountains more than 20 years ago. They have knowledge, soul, ability, blood, and morality. They are a stronger army than before."

"I hope our army can continue to go along this road, and go on firmly. One generation of army is stronger than the previous one..."

"Finally, I am here to represent the whole army and the millions of mighty troops to announce to the world: crimes cannot be covered up, and history cannot be slandered.

Our army will definitely settle accounts and understand the blood debts owed by the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, and will make them pay them back.

The Chinese people have a mind broader than the ocean and the sky, but we will never tolerate sand in our eyes. ..."

Chen Ming's speech certainly could not be spread throughout the Chaoyang Gate, but it didn't matter. How the emperor used to pass on the message to the outside, he passed it on now.

As Chen Ming spoke, hundreds of people were passing it on under the city wall.

When the voice fell, the whole Chaoyang Gate was boiling.

"Dong-dong-dong-dong"

This is the sound of the National Defense Army's footsteps. They marched in front of Chaoyang Gate with majestic steps along the wide avenue.

"Dong-dong-dong-dong"

How powerful and resonant the footsteps are!

The majestic military music sounded like rushing water flowing out of a sluice gate, like a rolling tide, and like a horse galloping on the wilderness.

Every step was even, every step was strong and powerful, all the movements were consistent, even the heartbeat and breathing were connected together.

The actions of millions of people were like one person, with horizontal and vertical lines, and each line was straight, just like a knife cutting, and each one had a solemn face, high spirits, and high morale.

...

The excitement of Chaoyang Gate continued at night, because there were large-scale cultural performances at Chaoyang Gate at night.

Of course, Chen Ming would not appear there. After the review, a state banquet was inevitable, and when people were happy, they would drink without restraint. Chen Ming doesn't drink much white wine on weekdays, he just drinks rice wine and fruit wine. So he drank a little too much at the banquet.

He was sent back to the palace, and he slept until the evening.

After waking up, Chen Ming didn't get up. Except for drinking some water to moisten his throat, he lay on the bed and looked up at the curtain.

The effect of today's review was very good.

For example, the leaders or envoys of countries such as Tokugawa Ieharu, Ryukyu, Phnom Penh, and Vientiane all bowed down at his feet without any doubt.

This made Chen Ming very proud. Lying on the bed, Chen Ming unconsciously recalled his experience since he traveled through time.

Although the word "travel" was already familiar to him when he traveled through time, he was still a little flustered when he really traveled through time. Fortunately, he didn't travel to a poor peasant's home. The Chen family's property at that time was over 10,000, which was a pie in the sky compared to the grassroots Chen Ming in his previous life.

Of course, he thought about rebelling against the Qing Dynasty at the beginning, but he didn't expect that he would be forced to rebel by a greedy Eight Banners child so soon.

Originally, according to Chen Ming's idea, he would wait for ten or eight years, and make a lot of money from the iron and coal mines in the mountains, earning 1.8 million taels of silver, consolidating his own foundation, and then wait for an opportunity to act.

But a newcomer to the Eight Banners disrupted everything.

At first, Chen Ming hated Chang Rui to death. This suicidal guy was greedy and ignorant. If you want to take action, you should also find out the details of the target before you take action, right? In just a few moves, the Chen family was forced into a desperate situation.

When the Tumenji tragedy broke out, Chen Ming wanted to chop Chang Rui and feed him to the dogs.

But now, imagining it again, I understand Chang Rui's "unwiseness" at the time. He is an Eight Banners uncle, a nation, a Manchu bannerman, born to be a superior person, and a master who can treat Han people like pigs and dogs.

Just like a person, if he wants to kill a dog or a pig, will he think twice?

And the Qing Dynasty at that time, who would believe and dare to rebel if he told others?

It was this dog thing that broke Chen Ming's original plan. He had no time to develop in a low-key manner and accumulate strength; no time to learn more about society and build a wider network of people.

Chen Ming had just traveled through time for a year, and he had to raise the flag to rebel.

Even if Chen Ming was self-righteous about his "identity" - a traveler, facing such a behemoth as the Qing Dynasty, he also placed his hopes elsewhere, such as the sect, such as the refugees in Yunyang.

Although he always looked confident when facing the outside world.

But the life of a traveler is a bug road, and he did things that were completely impossible. Chen Han built up from scratch, step by step, and became stronger step by step. The most important thing is that he has a good father and a good mother.

As for the internal problems of the Chen family, only Chen Gang created a little trouble for him, and he solved it smoothly with the support of the elders.

Chen Ming had none of the troubles that Li Shimin encountered back then.

Moreover, his father was not greedy for power, so Chen Ming took control of the Chen family without any struggle.

His path was really smooth.

When the Qing Dynasty was wiped out, the broken Korea was easily swallowed up, and Annan, which was originally divided into two parts, was divided into four parts, no, five parts, and there was also Ha Tien Town.

Russia was beaten, Kazakhstan got a share, Myanmar was also taken down smoothly, the little Japan was bullied again and again, Ryukyu bowed its head, and Nanyang was in hand. Australia is all China, and North America has also intervened fiercely.

Chen Ming was really smooth.

This body is only 35 years old, but his achievements have surpassed those of wise rulers in history.

Except for the fact that Tongluan of Siam made him suffer a little loss, Chen Ming felt that he was simply the son of the plane and the son of luck. It is true that when the time comes, the heaven and the earth will work together.

Just like Napoleon before invading Spain, no, he was much smoother than Napoleon.

Li Er also had the defeat of Qianshuiyuan, but Chen Ming didn't even have a big defeat along the way.

He was so awesome.

Now Chen Ming couldn't believe what kind of final verdict he would get.

If it weren't for the fact that most founding emperors were posthumously named Gaozu and Taizu, Chen Ming felt that his achievements were more inclined to martial arts.

His grand wish was not over yet.

Even if he had to wait for Europe to become chaotic and wait for the French Revolution, Chen Ming was not prepared to live a peaceful life guarding his territory.

Annan was going to be harvested, India was also a big piece of fat meat, and there was also Russia...
