As soon as the words fell, the whole square fell silent.

Almost everyone stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance.

Soon, a series of "dong dong" sounds were heard coming from Changle Gate in the distance in the east.

"I'm coming!"

"So many people! I saw them!"

"It seems to be... the Imperial Guards!"

"So many imperial guards!"

Amid the exclamations of countless people, the figures of the imperial guards slowly appeared.

Leading the way was a flag guard team of about ten people, who walked past the crowd with a flag of the Imperial Guards.

As early as half a year ago, Zheng Yi had asked many armies to create their own military flags, which were then submitted to the Ministry of War and the Cabinet for review, and he would ultimately make the final decision.

For example, the flag of the imperial guards who were now walking towards them was a flag that looked like a golden shield with a black background.

The Imperial Guards are the cornerstone of the imperial court.

It is the core force guarding the capital and the imperial palace. Most of the army members are children of meritorious service, royal family, officials in the capital, children of wealthy businessmen, etc.

Whether it is the treatment in the army or the overall strength, it is the best among all the armies.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

A series of neat and loud tapping sounds gradually came from the distance and became clearer.

Many people looked up and saw teams of soldiers in golden armor, holding spears, pointing them at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and walking quickly towards them.

Different from their previous walking style, the pace of the imperial guards at this time was... marching!
This was what Zheng Yi did on purpose, using his experience from his previous life to teach the soldiers of this life.

When marching in this pace, the whole body is tense and the steps are neat. Once there are more people, the team appears extremely neat and magnificent.

"tread!"

"Tap!"

They came step by step, like teams of robots, making the common people, officials, royal relatives and others in the distance feel their scalps tingling.

The entire team, ten people horizontally and ten people vertically, a total of one hundred people formed a square formation and walked slowly.

"What a well-organized army!"

"Such pace and such neatness can only be achieved by an army that has fought many battles!"

"Elite! Are these the elite of Dayu?"

"With these soldiers, we can sweep across Dayu. Where in the world can we not conquer?"

"Too terrifying! Is this Dayu's strength?"

"tread!"

"Tap!"

The team moved forward and finally arrived in front of the main gate of the palace.

On one side was the viewing platform for civil and military officials, as well as royal relatives, while on the other side was the viewing platform for Zheng Yi, the cabinet and other first and second rank officials above the imperial city.

Just then, a slogan suddenly came from the front of the team.

"Look to the right~!"

"Wow...!"

There was a hurried sound, and all the soldiers in the team that had been marching forward in an orderly manner suddenly turned their heads to the right, but their bodies still moved forward straight without any other extra movements.

"Serve Dayu with all your heart!"

"Serve Dayu with all your heart!"

“Serve the people!”

“Serve the people!”

"Death for His Majesty!"

"Death for His Majesty!"

Suddenly, shouts came from the square formation.

The voice is high and the eyes are sharp.

These shouts attracted all the civil and military officials, royal relatives, common people, and others on the viewing platform to shout out.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"What a magnificent military formation!"

"The Great Yu Imperial Army is truly amazing!"

Among the crowd, there was also a group of people with bad intentions, especially the envoys from Wu State, Yu State and other countries that had bad intentions towards Dayu. They were also shocked as they looked at the imperial guards who walked past the crowd.

"The Great Yu Imperial Army... Is this the Great Yu Imperial Army?"

"The troops are well-organized and obey orders. They are truly elite soldiers! If this group of people appeared on the battlefield..."

"Are these the only ones, or are all the troops of Dayu so elite?"

In addition to them, in the bustling crowd, there were also several cold eyes watching the passing Dayu army.

"The Great Yu Army? No matter how elite they are, they are nothing but a bunch of mortal ants..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, these soldiers, even if I encounter about a hundred of them, I still have to work hard to deal with them. If there are a thousand..."

"How are you observing? Do you want to act immediately, or... wait a little longer?"

"Wait a little longer!"

"it is good……!"

On the city wall, Zheng Yi smiled and waved as he watched the teams of imperial guards marching through the square below.

These soldiers are the elite in the army, but now they are all loyal to one person.

As long as they are willing, they will faithfully carry out any orders given.

The first and second rank court officials around were also looking at the army passing by downstairs in shock, their faces filled with horror.

They could never have imagined that His Majesty would hold such a military parade!

It is conceivable that after today, Dayu’s military might will spread throughout the world.

At that time, those evil spirits hiding in the dark would dare not show up.

"Serve Dayu with all your heart!"

“Serve the people!”

"Death for His Majesty!"

Teams of imperial guards passed under the city wall, and their powerful shouts rang out continuously.

After they reached Suzaku Gate, they all stopped.

Under the command of their respective commanders, they docked in the square without any change in their formation.

Next, different types of troops, including the Five Cities Military Department, local garrisons, and the Northern Border Army, continued to advance according to the marching route and formation of the Imperial Guards.

The flags of different branches of the military are not the same.

For example, the flag of the Five Cities Army is a black shield with white fish scales, which is intended to guard the capital and the White Star.

The flag of the border troops is a green dragon on a black background, towering forward, which is a metaphor for the guarding general.

Teams of soldiers marched past, and the sound of footsteps and discussions in the entire square never stopped.

"Hiss... This is already the 32nd square formation! Three thousand two hundred people!"

"They all march in the same pace, in the same formation, in such an orderly manner. More than 3,000 people are like one person... This, this is too terrifying!"

"An elite division, this is an elite division!"

Amidst the countless discussions, the faces of the several people hiding there were also extremely ugly.

"How on earth did Emperor Zheng Yong do this? He could actually train a mortal into this state!"

"Puppet! This is a real puppet!"

"Yes, in this case, only the word puppet can explain it..."

"Ta Ta Ta Ta..."

At this moment, another violent vibration was heard.

Everyone could even clearly feel that the ground began to shake.

"The ground is shaking! What's going on?"

"Earthquake? What's going on?!"

"It's not an earthquake! It's not an earthquake! It's..."

"cavalry!"

"Border Cavalry!!!"

Many people stood on tiptoe to look.

Sure enough, fully armed cavalrymen on white horses were waking up in the distance.

They were all wearing the latest fish scale armor, fully armed, with almost their entire bodies covered in iron armor.

Under the helmets, sharp faces were revealed.

Holding a spear, he pointed it diagonally up into the sky, his eyes extremely sharp.

Even the horses under their command were all covered in iron armor, like moving steel puppets.

At the forefront of the cavalry was Zhao Tieshan, who had left the capital for several years.

At this time, his figure became more and more burly, and the armor on his body was specially cast by the Ministry of Works according to his figure. Under his leadership, a group of cavalry suddenly launched a charge.

"rush!"

Teams of cavalry, like a torrent of steel, rushed down in the huge earthquake, causing the earth to shake and even the water in the moat began to vibrate.

"There's an earthquake!"

"Heavy cavalry! It's heavy cavalry!"

"This set of armor must cost at least a thousand taels of silver, and so many cavalrymen..."

"This is the elite of the border troops!"

"Rumble...!"

Huge roars continued to be heard, and when they were about thirty meters away from the main cities, the reins were suddenly pulled hard.

"Xilulu~!"

Hundreds of horses suddenly raised their front hooves and let out a series of neighing sounds.

Then the entire army formation miraculously stopped.

Uniform and neat, almost like a whole.

Then, under the command of Zhao Tieshan, they slowly moved forward.

"Serve Dayu with all your heart!"

“Serve the people!”

"Death for His Majesty!"

The shouts caused many White Stars to cheer at the top of their lungs.

"Long live!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Only if there are strong soldiers guarding the border can we, the common people, live and work in peace!"

"Not bad, not bad. What a pity, I only have one son, otherwise I would definitely send him to the army!"

"Hahaha, me too!"

Under the leadership of Zhao Tieshan, the border cavalry passed through the city gate and came to the square next to the Suzaku Gate again, where they lined up.

Just at this moment, he saw another phalanx behind him.

cavalry.

Also cavalry.

The difference is that the armor of the cavalry that came this time was actually blood red.

Even their military flag is a red flag with a black dragon.

Long Xiangjun, Xu Mujun!!

Of course, at this time Xu Mujun was watching the military parade on the city gate tower and was not in command of the Longxiang Army.

But it could not conceal Xu Mujun's powerful prestige at all.

As soon as the Longxiang Army cavalry appeared, they won cheers from countless people.

Looking at the slowly approaching Long Xiang Army, a hint of fiery color appeared in Zhao Tieshan's eyes.

"Long Xiangjun, this is what a real man should do!"

"I, Zhao Tieshan, will also build a powerful army that can rival the Longxiang Army in the future!"

"tread!"

"Tap tap tap...!"

The Longxiang Army advanced step by step. The earth shook, the wind howled, and the flags rang out.

Their armor is somewhat similar to that of the border cavalry, but it is blood red overall and the edges are also different.

The biggest difference lies in the head.

The cavalrymen of the Longxiang Army had an additional black visor to protect their faces.

If they were to march at night, these cavalrymen wearing masks would be mistaken for evil spirits crawling out of hell.

"Serve Dayu with all your heart!"

“Serve the people!”

"Death for His Majesty!"

Shouts arose again, and Zheng Yi smiled and waved at the Longxiang Army, saying, "Xu Qing, the Longxiang Army has done a good job under your leadership. I am very pleased."

Xu Mujun said respectfully: "Everything is entirely due to your majesty's grace."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Zheng Yi nodded and said, "By the way, who is the commander of the Longxiang Army now?"

"Xu Qilin, the old minister's nephew."

"Well... now that the south has been initially stabilized, it is not advisable to let the Longxiang Army go far away, so let them continue to be stationed in the south."

"Nanyue County is a good place, and it must be completely suppressed."

"Old minister, I obey the order!"

Xu Mujun said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I resign from the position of commander of the Longxiang Army."

"Huh? Why is that?"

The Longxiang Army is said to be the army of Dayu, but in the early days it was actually formed by Xu Mu's army. Among them were a large number of Xu's descendants, and they could almost be regarded as Xu Mu's private soldiers.

Now Xu Mujun actually wants to give up the position of commander of Longxiang Army. This is a good thing for Zheng Yi and the entire Dayu.

"I am old now, and no longer fit to lead the Long Xiang Army. I hope Your Majesty will grant me the favor."

Looking at the aged Xu Mujun, Zheng Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I agree to this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Wow……!!!"

At this moment, waves of calls suddenly came, like a tsunami.

The many first and second rank officials beside Zheng Yi also stood on tiptoe and looked outside.

Another group of people appeared from the direction of Suzaku Gate.

New Army.

Or rather...the Musketeers!

Soldiers holding long guns and wearing simple military uniforms marched in an orderly manner.

As a musket that has been in existence for nearly ten years, today's muskets have already been developed to the latest models.

In the entire Dayu, there are already more than 500,000 new troops equipped with new muskets.

Even other branches of the military are being gradually eliminated and transformed into new types of troops.

Looking at the musketeers approaching step by step, Zheng Yi had a strange look in his eyes.

"The musket is already the most advanced firearm of this era. Let's stop here for its technological technology..."

He already had a plan in mind. After the military parade, he would issue an imperial decree to stop the research and development of firearms.

Today's firearms technology of Dayu will remain at the level of flintlock rifles, grenades, and ordinary black powder, and cannot advance any further.

after all.

He is a monk.

However, firearms are one of the weapons that allow mortals to threaten monks.

Just like the existence of crossbows, it allows an ordinary person to assassinate a warrior in an instant.

Therefore, the level of scientific research on firearms needs to be restricted or even stopped.

Firearms are absolutely not allowed in the civilian population.

"Serve Dayu with all your heart!"

“Serve the people!”

"Death for His Majesty!"

Teams of new soldiers passed by one after another, and Zheng Yi waved to them.

What followed next was a team of red cannons pulled by horse-drawn carriages, the artillery corps.

After so many years of development, these red cannons have gradually developed into mortars.

The barrel has become thinner, the shells have become more powerful, and the overall weight has also decreased a lot.

The appearance of artillery triggered cheers and discussions from countless people.

"Red Cannon! That's the Red Cannon!"

"I heard that one shot can blow down a city wall!"

“This is so scary…!”

"Red Cannon..."

There were also several figures in the crowd who were looking at these artillerymen, their eyes full of fear.

"The power of the Red Cannon...I have seen it in Xuzhou before."

"The power of one shot is comparable to the power of a blow from my flying sword."

“If thousands of red cannons were fired at once, even a foundation-building cultivator would perish!”

"Is this the greatest reliance of Emperor Zhengyong of Dayu in establishing the Dayu Immortal Dynasty?" (End of this chapter)
