On November 20, 20th, the day of the reading, the heavy wolf cannons on the city defense at Yongding Gate kept firing.

The flags were waving, and the Han general who was sending police officers to the scene were wearing golden armor and golden helmets, and red tassels were inserted in his hand and golden gourds, making the sun shine brightly on the southern wall of the capital.

Far from afar, surrounded by the Han generals, Chen Mu could see the officials in the court standing on the top of the city walls, civil servants and eunuchs, but no serious military officer, even Qi Jiguang, the Prime Minister of Ji and Liao, was not qualified to parade on the same stage with the emperor.

The only one who is related to military affairs and participates in the Grand Reading is Tan Lun, the Minister of War. He is responsible for explaining the quality of this Grand Reading to the ministers next to Emperor Longqing. This is probably the last thing Tan Lun did as the Minister of War this year.

He also asked the emperor for leave due to illness to return home, after Altan's affairs were handled.

Feng Bao convinced many people, especially Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun. Feng Bao believed that the opportunity to negotiate peace with Altan was in this big review.

This is not without precedent. On November 20, the 18th year of Yongle, Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, met with envoys from various countries in Beijing, and all envoys from all countries knelt down. Only the envoys of the Timur Empire insisted on bowing on the grounds that "there is no custom in our country." Zhu Di was not angry.

The leader of the Timur mission was Prime Minister Aldusa, and the deputy envoy was Gassuddin, a famous general who had followed Timur. They were not allowed to kneel down even in their own country.

After the delegation visited Jiangsu, Nanjing and other places, Emperor Chengzu hunted in the suburbs of Beijing in March of the following year and invited envoys from various countries to watch the ceremony.

The grand 'hunting' mobilized 100,000 troops in Huailai, northern Beijing, and elite troops performed the Ming cavalry encirclement, infantry assault, infantry and cavalry joint attacks; the "coyote soldiers", white pole soldiers practiced the infantry crossbow volley, and spear infantry assassination training.

It lasted for a whole month, and it was 1421. Cannons, muskets, guns, rockets, turbulence, and these weapons bloomed under the eyes of envoys from various countries.

This time, the envoy of the Timur Kingdom took the lead in kneeling down and kowtowed, "kowing to touch the ground", completely ignoring "there is no custom in our country". Since then, the Timur Empire has sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty more than 60 times throughout its lifetime.

In his memoir, Timur's deputy envoy, Gassuddin later admitted: "I have to admit that it was a lucky thing for the Emperor to die on the Eastern Expedition, which saved him his reputation for life."

One hundred and forty-nine years later, Emperor Longqing chose to accept the courtesy of various countries on the same day as his ancestors and invited them to attend the military parade and watch the ceremony.

However, Emperor Longqing was much more frugal than his ancestors. He only summoned more than thirty generals and more than 18,000 troops, which looked extremely shabby.

Not far from the left and right sides of the city gate tower, far away from the emperor and the ministers, there were also many people separated by the Han generals. They were all wearing strange clothes. On the left were many envoys of the tribute countries living in Beijing, including Korea, Lumi, Mughal, etc., and on the right were Altan, Ji Neng's envoys and the envoys invited from Oirat and other places. In fact, their identities at this time were more like envoys of the enemy country.

Among these people, only Altan Khan's grandson led more than ten people from Nantou Ming Dynasty, Hannaji, as the commander of the Ming Dynasty, stood not far away from Emperor Longqing, and attended the ceremony on the same stage.

When Emperor Longqing sat on the dragon throne that had been set up a little higher on the top of the city, the flags waved together, and the low trumpets spread outside the city because they rang out at the top of the city. People could see the eyes that were blocked by the streets and alleys farther away, and the wind and sand were rolling up dust and flying into the sky. There were soldiers and horses to shout long live, and they could still reach the city through the vast forest.

In order to cover up the pale face under the unhealthy sunlight, Emperor Longqing's face was covered with a little powder and waved his hand slightly. Chen Hong, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, reluctantly handed the edict to Feng Bao, who was standing on the city. Although he was smiling on his face, he looked like a poisonous snake in his eyes.

Feng Bao was really happy. He stood at the top of the city and read the edict loudly in a strange but not unpleasant voice. Then the flags were waving under the city. At the end of the long street, an army of five hundred people stood quietly until a scream that was inaudible to the top of the city sounded there.

"The whole people are united, and the mountains are shaking..."

It was still Kaige, and it was still this army with both men and horses and chariots and riders. The only difference was - Chen Mu rode a horse far away and looked at it with a telescope. He felt that the person who led the Qi family army this time must be Qi Jiguang's confidant, and he should look back and think about sending something over.

That knew that he frowned as he looked at him, raised his hand and handed the telescope to Deng Zilong, who was a little excited and anxious, raised his hand and pointed: "Wuqiao, look, does that young general who leads the troops look familiar!"

Then there were hundreds of eunuchs at the south gate of the capital who proclaimed in unison: "The formation of Ji Town General Qi Shuai, Qingshankou Vehicle Camp, led the army!"

Chen Mu's hands were stuck on his face. How could he not look familiar? That was his son.

"First out of the straight line!"

Hachiro also became an adult, and he rode his horse in the battle formation and had a little general's demeanor in his every move. As he ordered, the sergeant changed into a formation with a sound of a cannon.

Four rows of cold weapons, infantry, cavalry, and long snake formations in front, back, left and right, the middle army's bird gun team advanced steadily. Behind a whole northern Qi family army formation, there was a smaller car camp, with horses carrying box vans, and soldiers wearing armored armored walk with them.

In the middle of the staircase formation, there are sixteen central military flag-and-blowing drummers, which are divided into instruments such as trumpets, suona, guilds, jingles, cannon horns, etc., but they are not used to perform, and are only used as signals in the changing array.

"Attack the battle!"

As the process of walking towards the city gate, the army changed its formation twice. The gunmen with the square formation in the middle dispersed into horizontal formations and shot into a row under the palace gate. The chariot camp was in front of the suona, and then the car camp opened and shot at the earth-building wooden walls that had been prepared to be shot in the south. There were also regular Ming army charges and assassinations during military parades, and other events, which won many applauses in the city.

Chen Mu was interested in the assassination of close forces and the transformation of the enemy into formations. His flag army did not have these, let alone for military parades, and even for ordinary training, there were no such events.

After leading the Qi family army, Li Chengliang's heavy armored cavalry, Ma Fang's Mongolian surrendered to his personal soldiers, Shenji Camp's instigation, and Zhenbao Town's infantry and cavalry attack were all very exciting. On the contrary, the deputy generals and generals of each town were nothing special, among which Deng Zilong's troops were the most boring.

He was full of new recruits who had not been trained for three months, and he did not dare to use the Barbarian Army as Chen Mu's wishes for the time being, so he could only bite the bullet and lose his person under the city, and his performance was dull.

Just as Deng Zilong's troops passed the south gate, Ji Neng on the city and the envoys of the Oirat tribes also walked not far from the Holy Lord, saying loudly what they wanted to ask for Han Naji for Altan, saying that these troops were not good-looking.

"There are only five hundred people, what can I see!"

Emperor Longqing did not answer, looked at Gao Gong with a bad expression, and Gao Gong did not speak. He turned his head and looked at Feng Bao with a bad face. Feng Bao did not answer, grinned and pointed at Chen Ju, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison.

In the crowd, Chen Ju lowered his head and stepped forward, bowed to Emperor Longqing first, and then pointed to the large open space outside the south gate that was cleared for this reading.

"Your Majesty wants to watch the Battle of Jumahe. I will build a building of earth and wood outside the city to serve as soldiers. Please see."

It was originally covered with red cloth. At this time, the soldiers of the Beijing camp opened the city from 200 to 1,500 steps away, revealing dense wooden men and earthworks. Chen Ju smiled and said, "Every wooden man is the soldiers of Ji Neng's troops on the Juma River. They rushed forward. This is how this battle was fought."

As he said that, drums sounded from the Yujie Road in the distance, and a square formation composed entirely of infantry came neatly. For some reason, there was only one sound when their feet were stepping on the ground, and it was the sound of metal and stone.

Ji Neng's messenger was not good-looking, while Oirat messenger was full of jokes. They all knew about the battle, but they had not experienced it personally. People said that they were like a devil because there was no living person across the bridge.

"Chen Shuai, the assistant of Wanquandusi, personally lead the flag army!"
