I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 373 Chinese Goose Step
The soldiers in the first phalanx were carefully selected, and they were the best in both manners and physique.

They were dressed in mighty uniforms, marched in neat steps, and marched in the front, showing the spirit of the Guards.

They gradually approached from a distance, each of their steps was steady, powerful, and in unison, as if there was a unified drumbeat under their feet.
Their uniforms are neat and strict, and every medal of honor they wear shines with glory.
The huge red-bottomed Three Stars flag fluttered in the air, demonstrating their indomitable fighting spirit.
"The whole team moved forward fifty steps without any disorder! What a sign of a strong army!" Duke Chengguo murmured.

Duke Dingguo Xu Guangzuo heard what Duke Chengguo said. He remained silent and stared at the red square.
The nobles on the city wall all stood up involuntarily. As nobles, they had all led troops to some extent and had some understanding of military affairs. They had never seen a square formation that marched fifty steps in such an orderly manner without any disorder.

In this era, even the most elite troops would stop and reorganize after marching 20 or 30 steps before continuing forward.
The performance of this parade formation is unheard of for them.
Just as the nobles on the tower were in a trance, the flag guard formation finally arrived in front of the parade line.
The parade line is a very eye-catching white line on the ground, reminding the troops that they have entered the parade area.
"March in step!" Shi Wanshan ordered loudly.

Luo Erhu in the square formation, after hearing the order, his brain had not yet reacted, but his body had already responded, he switched to the pace of the goose step very smoothly.
He straightened his upper body, stretched his legs, swung his arms high, kicked his left foot forward, pressed his toes down, and kept the sole of his foot parallel to the ground.
Five hundred people did the same thing as him.
Five hundred brightly polished boots slammed hard on the concrete floor, making a sound like thunder.
If the footsteps of the marching in step just now were still the muffled sound of thunder, then the footsteps of the goose-stepping were the loud sound of thunder.
Goose-stepping refers to a way of marching in a troop, intended to show military power. It is mainly used by soldiers marching in military parades and other ceremonial occasions. The movements are vigorous and powerful, majestic, and thus have a strong shocking and show-off effect.

The goose-stepping technique was the first to appear in this world, and the imperial guards used the Chinese goose-stepping technique that Zhu Houxuan later thought was the best looking.
Each of their steps struck a majestic rhythm on the ground, and this rhythm, like a towering mountain, struck everyone's heart.
Luo Erhu was walking hard in the team. He was extremely excited. He was immersed in this majestic rhythm. He didn't feel tired at all. He felt that he had merged with the team of 500 people. He felt extremely powerful. He wanted to keep walking like this.
The one-month-long parade training is not only about training the formation, but also about brainwashing every soldier, instilling the idea that they are the most powerful army in the world, so every step they take is very confident and proud.
Their team was still well-organized. Although there were only 500 of them, they had the momentum of a mighty army, like a solid wall of steel.
Moreover, most of these soldiers have been to the battlefield, experienced fierce battles, and seen blood, so they carry a murderous aura.
The fifteen thousand people on the viewing platform were completely stunned by the pace of the five hundred people. Their legs marched forward in unison like waves, and their steps were extremely sonorous and powerful.
Zhu Houzhao was also in a state of great shock. He did not understand how the Guards could take such a step.
"How did you do that?" Zhu Houzhao murmured.

Zhu Houxuan did not answer Zhu Houzhao. He knew what was going on. This was the effect of the Chinese-style marching. Because he seldom intervened in the training of the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards had practiced the formations but never the marching. Zhu Houxuan only remembered this thing when he started preparing for the military parade.
As for the more sonorous and shocking footsteps, it is even simpler, because the boots of each soldier on parade are specially made, and a small steel plate is embedded in the sole of the boot, so the footsteps have such an effect.
In fact, this was not Zhu Houxuan's own idea. This was actually left over from the three military guards of honor in later generations of China.
The nobles were completely silent. The marching of the guards had shocked them greatly, and the goose-stepping had shocked them even more.
They looked at this army that was beyond their imagination with different expressions. They knew what this army's performance meant.
In later generations, many people sneered at China's military parades, saying that in this era, no matter how well and neatly the troops marched, they were just a show, and only looked good on the surface. In fact, they had no combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
Maybe this statement may make some sense in later generations, but in this era, it is completely untenable, because in this era, neat queues mean combat effectiveness!
In this era, if you want to train an army into neat formations, firstly, it requires a lot of training, and secondly, these soldiers must have strong obedience.

An army that can achieve these two points will never be a weak army.
In the final analysis, these two points still cannot be separated from the word "money".
Bu Chi also gave up struggling at this time. He stared blankly at the advancing square formation, and no one knew what he was thinking. The Mongolian nobles around him also showed the same behavior.
"What are you doing? Those Mongolian war flags have not been put away yet, and there are still four black banners inside," Duke Dingguo Xu Guangzuo suddenly said.

He saw that the square formation did not slow down or stop, but marched straight forward with big strides. He suddenly understood something.
The audience in the viewing platform also understood what was going to happen.
"Crack!" Luo Erhu kicked heavily on the flagpole of the Mongolian army flag, and the flagpole broke immediately. However, this small obstacle did not hinder his progress at all.
The red square quickly "swallowed" the street that had become "mottled" because of the Mongolian flags. After the square passed, only a darker piece of flag fragments was left.
"What a group of arrogant and brave soldiers!" Duke Chengguo Zhu Fu expressed everyone's thoughts
The guards stomped the flags on the ground with great confidence. The audience was stunned at first, but then a strange feeling began to grow in everyone's heart.
Today, I didn’t get up in the morning, worked overtime during the day, and didn’t get home until after 996pm. I started writing right away, so I posted at this time. I will try to adjust the update time back tomorrow. But there is also good news. My 996 working hours are finally coming to an end. This is killing me. I feel very sleep-deprived every day. Now I finally see the end.
