Chapter 293 Military Parade Preparations
During the following period, while Zheng Yi was always paying attention to Zhang Shaoyang's actions in Canglan Realm, he and Tuoba Qingying continued to practice together.
After learning that Zheng Yi had mastered the secret technique of dual cultivation and could enhance his cultivation through dual cultivation, Tuoba Qingying learned the taste by eating the marrow.
I have to come at least four or five times a day.
Zheng Yi was also happy.
With the continuous efforts of the two, Zheng Yi's water attribute spiritual roots grew rapidly, and soon broke through to the top level.
Tuoba Qingying's magic power also became stronger and stronger, and her cultivation quickly stabilized.
Dual cultivation is beneficial to both of them. Zheng Yi did not deceive Tuoba Qingying.
It's just more beneficial to yourself.
In the past, she practiced in a place where spiritual energy was scarce, relying on the qualifications of the Tianling Root to move forward with difficulty.
But even so, her cultivation progress rate is ten times or even dozens of times that of ordinary monks.
But now Tuoba Qingying is in the palace, a place with the strongest aura, so her cultivation speed is of course faster.
As a result, their cultivation base increased rapidly.
In addition to these two things, Xu Mujun also kept coming to see Zheng Yi and asked about the military parade.
Zheng Yi made suggestions for him based on his experience in his previous life, while Xu Mujun also made some changes based on the current real situation in Dayu.
After receiving Zheng Yi's support, an imperial edict and military order were jointly issued by the Cabinet, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War. They were quickly sent to the thirteen states of Dayu and many generals and defenders.
Black Mountain Pass.
Zhao Tieshan and Chen Hongxiu came to the military tent together. Chen Wannian and Prince Xian had been waiting for a long time.
"The last general Zhao Tieshan/Chen Hongxiu met the general and met the prince!"
"Get flat."
Prince Xian took the lead and said: "Two generals, I have called you here today because we have important matters to discuss."
Zhao Tieshan was the first to speak: "Your Majesty! Are those bastards from the Wu Kingdom coming to attack the autumn wind again? Why don't we let the general lead his troops out of the pass and teach these bastards a lesson!"
After ten years of stationing at Heishanguan, Zhao Tieshan and others have already regarded this place as their second home.
Especially Zhao Tieshan, who is even married in Heishan Pass and has children.
As for Chen Hongxiu, for some reason she never got married.
No matter whether it was Chen Wannian or Prince Xian who came to talk to matchmakers, she had already obeyed her father's orders and shied away.
For ten years, 100,000 troops have been stationed at Heishanguan, resisting hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops from the Wu Kingdom, making it difficult for them to move southward.
The initial battle situation was very difficult. Wu Guo and Dayu dropped at least one million corpses outside Heishan Pass.
But even so, Heishanguan was still in Dayu's hands.
As time went by, the female emperor of the Wu Kingdom gradually secured her throne, and the offensive against Heishanguan was also reduced a lot.
From the siege of a million troops ten years ago, the number of people participating in the siege has gradually decreased, and the number of people participating in the siege has also slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Especially after Prince Xian led some warriors from the Shangwu Division to come to support, the offensive slowed down even more.
The number of attacks in the past two years has been even smaller. It only takes a month or two to encounter a siege, and it is still a small scale.
As for Heishanguan, it gradually regained its vitality because of the war.
The number of civilians, merchants, and craftsmen is also gradually increasing.
Prince Xian casually threw a military order to Zhao Tieshan and said: "Take a look, this is a military order issued by General Xu from the Ministry of War."
"At the same time, an imperial edict has arrived."
Zhao Tieshan unfolded it and quickly finished reading ten lines at a glance. He handed it to Chen Hongxiu who was standing aside.
"Military parade, what the hell?"
Prince Xian said: "According to my understanding and the memorial, some soldiers from various armies in Dayu were sent to the capital for unified training, and then participated in this ceremony."
"Our Black Mountain City army is an elite army in the North, so we should lead our army there."
"Military parade?"
Chen Hongxiu also finished reading it quickly and said: "Your Majesty is presiding over this military parade, and General Xu is assisting."
"In ten years, many rebellions in Dayu were finally completely suppressed."
"This military parade can be considered a celebration." "I wonder who the general and the prince are going to send to participate in this military parade?"
The two looked at each other, and it was Chen Wannian who spoke: "My dear niece, after discussing with Prince Xian, I have decided that you will lead two thousand Montenegrin troops to the capital to participate in the military parade. How about it?"
"Me?"
"Not bad."
Chen Wannian continued: "Now that Wu State has not launched large-scale operations, the military situation at Heishanguan seems tense, but it is not dangerous."
"We can also take this opportunity to recuperate."
"And this military parade is the best opportunity to show our military might."
"As a soldier and a woman, you are valued by His Majesty and you are the best candidate!"
Prince Xian also smiled and said: "The Kingdom of Wu has a female emperor, and we in Dayu also have female generals guarding the border."
"If you go, you can also show the people of Wu State how powerful our Yu army is."
Chen Hongxiu hesitated for a moment, and finally said respectfully: "I will obey your orders!"
"Hahaha, okay!"
"General Red Sleeves, please select your soldiers in the next few days. It is best if their height and weight are within the same limit."
Prince Xian said: "In three days, I will see you off!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yunmengze.
Beiyang Navy.
Meng Guang frowned slightly as he looked at the memorial in his hand and remained speechless.
Tan Yunlong came over and said, "Brother, are you upset about something important?"
Meng Guang handed the military order to Tan Yunlong and said: "Second brother, you see, the Ministry of War asked us to send people to the capital to participate in training to prepare for the 'Military Parade'."
"Military parade?"
Tan Yunlong finished reading it quickly and said hesitantly: "This is a wonderful plan!"
"Not only can it demonstrate military power and enhance people's cohesion, it can also deter rebellion and other countries."
"As expected of His Majesty and General Xu... I just don't know, who are you going to send?"
Meng Guang asked: "What do you think, second brother?"
"The third brother Shen Tukui died in the last battle in Xuzhou, and the fourth brother Sun Hui is now stationed on Yunmeng Island and cannot be separated."
"It's better..."
Tan Yunlong thought for a while and then said: "How about sending Bailongying?"
Bailongying is one of Meng Guang's personal troops.
He has a navy of 150,000 people under his command, most of which are composed of new troops from the imperial court and county soldiers.
But the elite among them are composed of many water thieves they have conquered before.
There are approximately 20,000 people in total, consisting of the White Dragon Camp, the Black Dragon Camp and the Giant Turtle Camp.
Meng Guang, Tan Yunlong, and Sun Hui were commanders respectively to suppress the Beiyang Navy.
There was originally a Feiyu battalion led by Shen Tukui, but unfortunately the entire army was wiped out in the Xuzhou battlefield, with only a few dozen people escaping back.
Tan Yunlong continued: "As for the commander-in-chief, how about your nephew, the general?"
The commander he was talking about was Meng Guang's nephew, Meng Zhen.
He is good at wielding two swords and possesses the courage that no man can match.
"Meng Zhen..."
Meng Guang murmured, looking at the military order in his hand and suddenly said: "I haven't returned to Beijing to report on my duties for a long time... Why don't I go?"
"Huh?"
