Chapter 119 Before the military parade
After getting Su Muqian done, Yang Yichuan could also focus on the new factory, that is, the metal aluminum smelting factory. Raw materials are impossible but raw materials. Even if Xihecheng does not have them, they can be brought from other places. Basically, no one cares about this kind of mine. I don’t know what it is for, so why do I mine it?
It is not difficult to find a stable source of aluminum ore. It is available in Xihezhou. You only need to organize people to mine. However, few people are just a big problem. It’s not a day or two for a few people. Yang Yichuan had to find another way. The most important thing now is the so-called "military parade".
Only 1,000 people sent by the Xihe Army, and 100 people from the Xiao family army. This way, we could only gather 11 square formations, and it would not end in an instant.
"Military Parade" is important, but the people who inspect soldiers are more important. Yang Yichuan's actions are nothing more than to stabilize the people's hearts. If the people cannot come, then what else can they still inspect?
Therefore, these days, the city guards and officials are working hard to promote the military parade. The matters of the current Xihe Army and the city guards can ensure everyone's safety.
"Hey, have you heard of it? What kind of military parade Prince Chuan wants to hold is known to everyone in the city."
"How can I not know about this? I'm talking about this everywhere, and I'll talk about it when the city guards patrol."
"What exactly does Prince Chuan want to do? How is it so popular?"
"Hey, I guess I'm having fun? After all, I'm still young, what's the point of this military parade?"
"That's right, what's the point? Can you beat Beiyuan people by the way? By the way, the autumn harvest season is about to enter. Do you think Beiyuan people will come to cause trouble again this year?"
"Bah, Crow's mouth. It's better for the people of Kitahara to come over, go to other places, and never come to Xihecheng."
"That's right, last year, the fire was burning like the daytime, and it took several days to burn, and the Xicheng District was almost gone. It was so miserable."
"yes."
...
"Will you go to this military parade?"
"Go, I'm fine anyway, I'm just going to see what kind of fortune this Prince Sichuan can make."
"That's right, let's go and have a look together. Anyway, I've been quite idle these days."
...
Many people talk about the military parade on various occasions. Some just chat after dinner, while others are playing mahjong while chatting.
Yang Yichuan attaches great importance to this military parade. He pays attention to it and directly lets his subordinates rest for a long time to watch the military parade. Of course, the wages are paid as long as possible. What are the workshops, factories, department stores, Baiwei Building, schools, and construction teams in Xihecheng, all stops temporarily and go to see the military parade.
Of course, there are also officials of all sizes in Xihe City, as well as some constables in the palace, who will definitely be there at that time.
In the Dongchengmen area, we have been preparing for a long time, using the constable to draw a cordon. Under the city wall, there is also the place outside the cordon to watch the parade. These places have the most guidance and warnings from the Xiao family army to avoid any accidents. On the city wall are Yang Yichuan and officials of all sizes, all over the city.
In a blink of an eye, three days had passed, and finally the day of the military parade was coming. Yang Yichuan was wearing extremely formal clothes that he had rarely worn, and he spread out all the clothes that he originally represented his prince's identity. Xiaoxiang and Liuli followed behind him and headed towards the East City Gate.
The gate of the East City was actually very lively, because the Xihejun and the 100 Xiao family troops who were going to participate in the inspection were actively preparing. Although they had been training for a long time, when facing these many people and officials, it was a great pressure.
Yang Yichuan did not go directly to the city wall, but came to the group of Xihe Army and Xiao Family Army who were ready to go. In fact, he had trained in the school many times, and Yang Yichuan had also seen it several times, so he was still very relieved about these Xihe Army.
Yang Yichuan came to the front of these people and planned to encourage them.
"Today, it is the people who are being tested, not our officials or others. All you have to do is to show your usual training status and walk past the gate of the East City. All the people can see it and let them hear your determination. You can protect them and defend Xihe City."
"Do you have confidence?"
"have."
"Okay, I'm on the wall, waiting to see your performance. I believe you won't let me down, will you let all the people who come here be disappointed.
"yes."
The shouts from the Xihe Army and the Xiao Family Army made many people look at each other and look at them. But most of them still spoke coldly and ridiculed these people, and they also acted like this.
"I shouted quite loudly, but when Kitahara people came, they all hid and ran away without a trace?"
"That's right, can you scare the Kitayuan people away by shouting so loudly? If so, then our Xihecheng will be safe in the future."
"This prince is probably a very good person to be a great man, and he is engaged in this useless military parade."
"Stop talking. If someone hears it and tells Prince Chuan, maybe you will lose your head."
"Fortunately no one heard it, but it's okay."
...
Yang Yichuan naturally knew that only a very small number of people were optimistic about the Xihe Army and the Chenggu Army. Most of them put the failure of the Beiyuan people on the Chenggu Army. Is the Chenggu Army wrong? Yes, they failed to fight to the death.
However, even if we fight to the death, can we really stop the Beiyuan people? Yang Yichuan felt that it was impossible. Although these city guards were fully equipped, many of them were old. They lacked training, did not have qualified commanders, and did not work together with the military and civilians. These are the reasons for the failure of the city guards to defend the city.
Now Yang Yichuan is actively reversing this situation and actively training the city guards and the Xihe Army; changing the soldiers' armor and artillery now appear. As for the appropriate commander, Lin Tu is the one. The most difficult thing for the military and civilians to be united, but they must also be done. If this can be done, they can exert stronger combat power. Landmine warfare and guerrilla warfare often need to rely on the people.
"Today, let everyone see a brand new Xihe Army. Next, we need to defeat the invading Beiyuan people and rebuild the trust of the people in Xihe Army. This is the most important thing."
As for artillery, Yang Yichuan was not in a hurry to take it out. Who knew if the artillery would leak out? There are now 12 artillery pieces, and there are quite a few shells. Yang Yichuan even ordered the people from the Firearms Bureau to hurry up and make the muskets, so the muskets can be temporarily retreated. After all, the structure of the muskets is relatively complicated, so it takes some time to make and research them.
Therefore, Yang Yichuan's current idea is to make all his might, and then use the cannon to blast out a bright world. Not only is it needed on the city wall, but it may also be used when fighting against the Beiyuan people outside.
Muskets are not available for the time being, and even if they are made, they cannot be mass-produced. They can be mass-produced, and the soldiers have not undergone combat formation training. Therefore, artillery is the most direct. Yang Yichuan's idea must be that the more the better, and he will win from a distance. He will be more than half of his casualties and will be frightened.
"Now, let the people see your determination. When facing the Kitahara people in the future, let them see your true strength."
