As the time approached, all the work of the military parade began to enter the final stage.
Both the army and the officials began to enter a period of high alert. The rehearsals made them highly nervous, and the emperor's occasional spot checks made them even more nervous.
For example, during the army's training, Xiao Ruxun would take some time out of the palace every few days to go to the barracks to check on them, which made them all very nervous.
Up until now, the 10,000 people participating in the military parade had been selected, all of them were elites, all of them were elites, Zhao Hu and the others' conspiracy did not succeed, Jiang Dahai's navy and marine corps had 1,500 people who had passed the examination and entered the military parade team, which made Zhao Hu and the others very unhappy.
But the emperor had made the decision, and they did not dare to disobey. The most important thing now was training, not fighting because of personal feelings.
They had never heard of such strict requirements. Even these brave soldiers, who were invincible on the battlefield, felt that it was extremely difficult, and cooperation with each other was a problem.
There was a line horizontally, a line vertically, and a line diagonally. Zhao Hu and the others were dizzy from all the twists and turns, and it took them a few days to sort out the order. The soldiers were required to walk at the same pace, and the distance between the front and the back was exactly the same. There was no more or less.
For this, they also introduced a reward and punishment system.
Those who walked well would be rewarded with more meat, and those who did not walk well would be chewing on steamed buns while others were eating meat, watching them eat meat. If they walked a little better, they would be rewarded with silver.
As the saying goes, when there is a reward, there will always be a brave man. A large number of soldiers continuously worked hard for such a reward. Finally, when Xiao Ruxun came to inspect, they walked quite well.
Although it was far from the square formation in Xiao Ruxun's memory, Xiao Ruxun would not compare them with those soldiers. There was no comparison between the two. In this era, the training and organization of the Qin Army was already unparalleled in the world.
Xiao Ruxun believed that such a pace and phalanx formation would shock not only the vassal states and the Europeans, but also her own people.
This momentum, this organization, this level of proficiency, was no different from the world's strongest armies in history?
How much effort would it take to master such a set of footwork and formation?
How much effort would it take to achieve such a scene?
What kind of combat power would be produced by the combination of such might and excellent weapons? Was this something that their army and elites could compete with?
They could only look up to it. There was no other way.
When they realized that their strength was not on the same order of magnitude as that of the Daqin, when they realized that there was no hope of catching up, even jealousy and fear disappeared. They could only look up to it.
They looked up to the Daqin in all aspects.
In terms of military, political, and economic systems, they looked up to it in all aspects. The elites of their countries would all lean towards the Daqin. There was no dispute.
There would soon be a large number of free "Qin braggers" and "Qin elites" in their country. Everything that the Daqin did was right. Whatever the Daqin said was reasonable. The decree of the Daqin Emperor could not be violated. Otherwise, they would die.
The political trend in their country changed rapidly. The original dissatisfaction and thoughts about the strong intervention of the Daqin would quickly disappear without a trace.
No force dared to show their teeth to the Daqin. No matter what happened in their country, when it involved the Daqin, they all agreed with it in all aspects. Otherwise, even if the Daqin did not take action, they would be scolded to death by their own people.
Just like in the early days of the reform and opening up, the intellectual class in China leaned towards the Europeans and Americans.
The backwardness in economy, technology, and military in all aspects, the feeling of despair with no end in sight, and the feeling of futility and helplessness destroyed all the confidence of the people. In less than ten years, the public opinion had completely turned against them, and their confidence had completely collapsed.
When the strength gap was too big, it was easy to make people humble and insignificant. They would unconsciously think that everything about them was wrong and that everything about the other party was right. Even the air of the other party was sweet, and the moon was a little rounder. Only by learning from the other party or even copying the other party could one succeed.
Although the bloody experience of the Republic of China and the painful past of some other countries told us that doing so was the road to death, people were forgetful, and the huge gap could always blind people's eyes.
Finding confidence could not be achieved by a few words of propaganda and a few slogans, but by the development of hard strength. What was lost should be taken back in the same way. Only when the hard strength was developed could the soft strength be developed.
Only when the strength gap was reduced could the confidence that belonged to oneself be gradually recovered. Finally, it could suppress the object that used to be looked up to, realize the real meaning of revival, recover complete confidence, and stand on the top of the world.
This was the principle that the military parade conveyed to the outside world.
Daqin was incomparably powerful, and it was not something that you could catch up with no matter how hard you tried. So, be humble, look up, kneel down and sing 'Conquer'!
In the face of Daqin's powerful strength, do you have the guts to face the anger of Daqin?
No, really no, not even a little bit. Unless you were forced to the brink of extinction, you really don't have the guts to.
In addition to the military parade, there was also a very important process, which was the polo match.
Xiao Ruxun had always had an idea, which was to improve the people's health through diet improvement and sports. The diet improvement plan that he vigorously promoted was in full swing.
The large-scale planting of peanuts and soybeans, the large supply of oil and tofu, and the constantly falling prices made him very happy. This was something that he strongly promoted and advocated. He wanted every family to be able to eat oil and water, so that every family could eat enough protein.
For thousands of years, whether it was prosperous or troubled times, the common people could only eat rough vegetables. They couldn't eat oil and water, and they might not even have enough salt. The difference between prosperous and troubled times for the common people was whether they could eat more and eat more vegetables, and whether they could live more conveniently.
Therefore, there was the sad saying that had been passed down through the ages: prosperity, the common people suffer; death, the common people suffer.
The relationship between prosperous and troubled times and the common people was very big, but it could also be said that it was not that big, because whether it was prosperous or troubled times, it was never the common people who could enjoy the benefits. Culture did not belong to them, entertainment did not belong to them, and spiritual life did not belong to them.
They could only face the yellow soil day after day, and work like cattle and horses for the aristocrats and landlords.
Xiao Ruxun did not dare to say that he could change their fate, but at least he was trying.
He worked hard to distribute land to the common people, reduce their taxes, lighten their burdens, provide them with agricultural guidance and a relatively fair production environment and legal environment, do his best to punish corrupt officials, and give them a little more care and care.
Therefore, the common people were willing to build a temple for Xiao Ruxun, saying that he was a saint, and worship him.
