Chapter 2011 Military Parade
Li Shen didn't know what the people on the wall were thinking, he just saw him shouting again:
"Your Highness, the three thousand guards of the Ji Palace Guard Battalion are ready to go. Please review them, Your Highness."
Review? Li Chengqian was stunned, feeling helpless.
But still very cooperative and said:
"The heaven has its principles and the earth has its latitude and longitude. The Western Regions' invasion of the border is an act that goes against heaven and earth! You are following the emperor's order and leading the army to attack. This is for the sake of the country and the people of the world. If you win this battle, it will be the will of heaven. If you die, you will die for the way of heaven, and your soul will bless the future generations to enjoy peace.
I would rather be a ghost of the Tang family than an angry person of the Hu land."
"I'd rather be a ghost of the Tang family than an angry person of the Hu land."
"I'd rather be a ghost of the Tang family than an angry person of the Hu land."
As Li Chengqian finished his last sentence, three thousand guards, led by Li Shen, shouted together.
Li Shen was also a little surprised, thinking to himself, "Not bad, kid." This is a good statement, but I don't know if it was improvised or prepared in advance.
He speaks in a very logical way, and claims to be on the right track, and then goes to attack. It is obvious that we are the ones attacking others, but now it sounds like we are defending our country.
Once the word spreads among the people here, it won’t be long before they all know that the Tang Dynasty attacked the Western Regions because they violated its borders, and the Tang Dynasty did this for the sake of the people of the world and for peace in future generations.
Sure enough, the man who wants to be emperor is different.
Just as Li Shen thought, the people watching the fun below were also infected by the words of Crown Prince Li Chengqian.
"King Ji, let's begin."
Li Chengqian shouted at Li Shen. He was very satisfied with Li Shen's performance just now, which made everyone see the loyalty of Prince Ji's Mansion to Li Chengqian.
There is not only Li Shen's army here, but also the imperial guards standing on the city wall. These imperial guards were temporarily transferred here to prevent accidents.
Li Chengqian’s words just now also infected them.
When Li Shen heard Li Chengqian's words, he turned his horse and shouted to all the guards and the crowd watching the excitement:
"The mountains and rivers are torn apart, the Hu cavalry are rampant, and bones are scattered in the wild inside and outside the Great Wall. My ancestors and my father created a prosperous era, and my brother guarded this mountain and river. Recently, the bandits have trampled on my ancestral temples and humiliated my people.
If you don't cut off the enemy's head with the knife in your hand, how can you face your ancestors in the underworld? If you don't work for your country, how can you be called the descendants of the Tang Dynasty?
Anyone who offends the Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are. "
"Whoever offends the Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are."
As soon as Li Shen finished speaking, thousands of guards echoed him again, their voices shook the sky and infected one group of people after another.
What Li Shen said was not an impromptu speech, but a manuscript written by Wang Xuance for him in advance. Li Shen spent half a night memorizing it.
But now it seems that it was not in vain, the effect is still very significant.
Next, at Li Shen's command, the Imperial Guard Battalion began the military parade. The infantrymen marched in unison and with great force, especially when they were marching in step.
The sound of those neat footsteps makes people's hearts surge.
There is also a phalanx of cavalry behind him holding lances, looking very majestic.
"Prime Minister, the military of the Tang Dynasty is so powerful? I'm afraid we can't match it."
Two people in Tang suits were whispering in the crowd.
"The Tang army is indeed strong, but not all of them are like that. This army is the guard of Prince Ji, and it only has 3,000 people."
Another old man said softly that this person was the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, and the other person was an envoy of the delegation.
"But even though there are only 3,000 people, it looks like they can defeat 10,000 people." The young messenger couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, there were only 3,000 people. If all the Tang Dynasty’s troops were like this, then there would be no need to fight against Tubo and they could just surrender directly.
"Don't encourage others to be more ambitious and destroy your own prestige. Our Tibetan men are also brave and good at fighting. Even women can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. This is something that the Tang Dynasty cannot compare to."
Seeing that the person next to him was in low spirits, Lu Dongzan spoke to encourage him.
However, he was also shocked in his heart. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful country with a strong military force, and it had always been a major concern for them.
Now even the guards of a Tang prince are so elite, which makes Lu Dongzan feel somewhat powerless.
He knew that there would be a war between Tubo and Tang Dynasty eventually, and the alliance with Western Turks was also to prepare for this war. Since he couldn't win, he would find a helper.
"Prime Minister, it seems that we need to speed up our plan. Now that the Tang Dynasty is marching west, I wonder if they will attack the Western Turks."
The young messenger said.
"Shut up, this is not the time to discuss this. Let's go back and talk about it. Let's go, we've seen enough."
Lu Dongzan scolded, then turned and disappeared into the crowd.
Not only Lu Dongzan and his men were shocked, but also the other members of the delegation, especially those from some small countries. They felt that the 3,000 guards from Prince Ji's Mansion were enough to compete with their country.
They were shocked by the power of the Tang Dynasty and became more determined to follow it.
"Inuugami-kun, do you think King Ji will help us?" Two envoys from Japan were also discussing in the crowd.
They saw the power of the Tang Dynasty and the power of Prince Ji's Mansion.
"Soga-kun, what do you mean?" Inuugami Mitsuaki turned his head and looked at Soga Hinata.
"Nothing. The Emperor's reforms abolished the hereditary aristocracy's title of minister, which has always displeased the daimyo in various places.
Even after the new policy was implemented for so long, there was still chaos in various places and many nobles were unwilling to give up their power.
I think if we can get the help of Tang Dynasty, the Emperor's reform edict should be implemented quickly."
Soga Hinata explained.
Inuugami Mitsuaki looked deeply at Soga Hinata.
"Are you sure this is for the Emperor? Or is it for your Soga clan? After the Emperor ascended the throne, the Soga clan was wiped out, and since then, they no longer trust the Soga clan.
Are you trying to use the power of Prince Ji to restore the power of the Soga family?"
Inujo Mitatsugu directly questioned that his relationship with Soga Hinata was very ordinary because the Soga family was very powerful back then and Inujo Mitatsugu had been bullied.
"Inugami-kun, my Soga clan is loyal to the emperor. Don't forget that the one who killed Soga no Iruka was not only Nakayama no Oe, but also my elder brother Soga no Ishikawa Maro.
Do you think I will restore Soga Iruka's family?
The Soga family has always supported the emperor's new policies. "
Soga Hinata replied anxiously.
"I hope what Soga-kun said is true, but if we want Prince Ji to help our Japan, I'm afraid we're inviting a wolf into the house." Inujou Mitaki shook his head.
"Why is that? The Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. They think they are the Celestial Empire and have always taken good care of us. As long as we lower our attitude, they will be able to take advantage of us."
Soga Hinata asked curiously. Shouldn't it be easy to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty? As long as you lower your body and crawl on the ground, you can get anything.
When it comes to Prince Ji, Inugami Mitsuki has a psychological shadow.
"Take advantage? Prince Ji is different from the Tang ministers we have met. Asking him to help our country of Japan may be more than just inviting a wolf into the house."
"So scary?"
(I was inspired by the Russian ceremonial performance. I am posting this a little late today, sorry.)
