"This is how you prepare for the parade!"
In the ritual department, Merton looked at a group of ritual officials with an incredible face. These people turned a shocking military parade into a bloated and long sacrificial activity. No wonder those people in the military department didn't want to.
An official of the Ministry of rites said unconvinced, "we read history books and learned from the allusions of the three armed forces since the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Most of them are just like this."
Merton said unhappily, "the emperors of the three armed forces of all dynasties have ordered troops to show off their strength. This time, our purpose is not only to show the strength of the Tang dynasty like ordinary people, but also to frighten the envoys of other countries, which is very different."
"The military also disagreed many times. They wanted to follow their own plan. The two sides had different opinions, so they asked Mo sacrifice to come to help." Linghu Deyu said roundly.
Merton looked at the military plan, threw it out and said, "the military is also not good. If you follow the military plan, it's no different from pulling up the army to walk around Chang'an city."
The etiquette officials felt a little better and looked at Merton.
Merton thought for a moment and said, "the most objects displayed this time are ordinary people, so the set of sacrifice can't be used, but you can start with the founding history of the Tang Dynasty. What do you think?"
"The history of the founding of the Tang Dynasty?" Linghu Deyu thought deeply.
"Yes, let's start from Jinyang!" Merton said.
"Jinyang start!" Linghu dehu suddenly brightened his eyes, and the supreme emperor was still there. If he started from Jinyang, he could please the two emperors at once, which was of great historical significance, and it was also in line with the style of the Ministry of rites.
"But the Tang Dynasty has reorganized the army several times in a row, and the original army has long dispersed. Where can we find these troops!" an official of the etiquette Department frowned.
Merton waved his big hand and said, "although the army is scattered, I believe we can still find some veterans. Find these veterans and form a square team. Unfortunately, my one armed Uncle Wang of Mojia village is a veteran who started in Taiyuan."
Gathering sages does not avoid their relatives. Merton recommends one armed Uncle Wang without any psychological burden.
Linghu Deyu naturally wouldn't reject Merton's face because of this small matter. He nodded and said, "in this way, it's also feasible."
Anyway, it's not a marching war. Just let these veterans go to the square. These veterans are all members of the army. With a little training, they will be able to complete it successfully.
"By the way, in addition to looking for these veterans, it's best to find the armor weapons at that time. If you don't have them, let the weapon supervisor hurry up to make a batch," Merton reminded.
Linghu Deyu couldn't help but thumbs up and said, "ink sacrifice is a good idea."
Seeing that he had been having a headache, Merton soon had a clue when he came here. He couldn't help sighing. With a big hand, an official of the Ministry of etiquette immediately went down to take charge of the matter.
"In addition to the troops in Jinyang, there were many rebel troops at that time..." Linghu drew inferences from one instance.
Merton nodded and soon finalized the process of the former army with Linghu Deyu.
"The former army is to recall the glory of the past for your majesty and the supreme emperor, while the middle army is to show the power of the Tang Dynasty to the people. Look, this can pull out all kinds of powerful and advanced weapons in the army and open the eyes of the people. The effect must be extraordinary."
"Pull out the powerful weapons in the army! It's simple!" Linghu nodded.
Merton shook his head and said, "no, it's not so simple. Although our Datang weapons are powerful, many of them can show their power in wartime. How can the people understand in a hurry? In this way, how can they have a shocking effect."
Linghu de Yu frowned and said, "what can we do? Can we let these weapons practice on the spot?"
"Of course it's impossible. For one thing, the time is limited, and for the other, the venue is limited. Naturally, we don't have time to drill, but we can find someone to tell the people how powerful and powerful the weapons passed in front of them." Merton said proudly.
"That's ok?" a etiquette official was stunned.
"Yes, why not?" Linghu Deyu said excitedly, "we should not only explain to the people that weapons are powerful, but also to leaders, envoys of all countries, even civil and military officials and his majesty."
"But where can I find so many people?" the etiquette official frowned.
"There are some literate people in the army. These officers and men also know more about these weapons and explain them more clearly. In front of your majesty and envoys of all nations, you need the Ministry of rites," Morton said.
Linghu Deyu said with satisfaction: "just according to the meaning of ink sacrifice, there are still some people in front of your majesty and envoys of all countries in our ritual department."
"That's not over!" Merton said again.
"And?" the whole etiquette Department looked at Merton strangely, making them talk freely in front of Merton, solve them easily, and one by one.
"The power of all weapons can also be published in the whole process of Mohist and Confucian journals. When the next issue is published, the whole Tang Dynasty can cheer for our army." Merton said positively. This time, he completely stood on a fair position and directly let Mo magazine and Confucian magazine enter at the same time to compete fairly.
This time, the whole etiquette department was convinced, and the worries in Linghu's heart had long disappeared. If Merton's method was followed, they were all excited, not to mention that the army practiced in person at the military parade, the mood of the people would be even higher.
"As for the rear army, it is a square column of the most elite soldiers sent by all the armies of the Tang Dynasty to show the grandeur of our officers and soldiers." Merton relaxed his breath. In Merton's view, the rear army can be said to be the simplest.
However, Linghu Dehui said with a bitter smile: "the ink sacrifice wine doesn't know. This is exactly the most difficult place. Almost every army wants to participate. Even after the news came, the garrisons all over the country have asked to participate, and the military department is still in a tight fight."
Merton was stunned. If he read all the troops of Datang, he might not finish it in a day.
"Then select the most representative troops or the troops with the most difficult conditions. In this way, it can also arouse the people's feelings. As for the number, it is set in the 100 person team. If other troops are dissatisfied, they can also arrange some tasks to maintain order at the military parade, which is an explanation." Merton said.
Linghu de nodded. In this way, those who were elected were justified and those who lost were settled. In this way, the interests of the military were balanced to the greatest extent.
"In addition, in the whole parade ceremony, we should also know how to mobilize our emotions, be quiet when it's time to be quiet, cheer when it's time to cheer,..."
In Merton's dry mouth explanation, the whole process of the parade was finally settled.
