Chapter 1080 Shocking
As soon as Shang Ji's voice fell, there were two guards next to him holding a folded military flag and walking towards Shang Ji, standing still in front of Shang Ji, and bowing the general flag to Shang Ji.
Shang Ji took the battle flag, put his hands flat, took a step forward, and shouted: "The imperial guards, take the flag!"
"The Praetorian Guards receive the flag!"
Dian Wei shouted, stood up, and took the flag from Shang Ji.
Then several generals of the Imperial Guard who had been waiting for a long time teamed up to unfold the general flag, revealing the flying dragon with its teeth and claws inside.
Immediately afterwards, the flag was hung on the flagpole with quick hands and feet, and the flag fluttered in the wind, making a sound of hunting.
"The imperial guards, all victorious!"
Dian Wei held up the flagpole with one arm, exerted enough strength, and roared loudly.
"The imperial guards are victorious!!!"
Thirty thousand soldiers of the imperial guard corps responded, and the cheers that shook the sky spread throughout Xiangping City.
After Shan Huan was victorious, Shang Ji took a step forward and said loudly: "I hope you can live up to the expectations of the general and fight the enemy bravely under the guidance of the Dragon King Banner. You are worthy of today's oath!"
"Follow the lord's instruction!"
Military flags have a long history. In the real ancient world, the main function of military flags is to command and identify identities. There are many types of military flags, and their functions are not the same.
For example, the big tooth flag represents the identity of the general. The big tooth flag will be there wherever the general is. The soldiers of one's own side rely on the big tooth flag to command the battle on the chaotic battlefield. Once the big tooth flag falls, it can basically declare defeat.
And the large number of flags in the ancient army is not for the sake of looks. Each flag represents an army, and the soldiers need to follow the flag to fight.
In short, military flags are a very complicated subject in history, involving many things, and it is by no means as simple as looking good.
In modern society, new means of communication and command emerge in an endless stream. The communication command function of military flags gradually disappears, mainly playing the role of spiritual inspiration, and the function of flags in beacon fires is more similar to modern military flags, mainly to unite people's hearts.
Of course, as a non-scientific world, the beacon fire has many other functions.
Take the Dragon King Banner awarded to the Imperial Guard Corps as an example. This flag looks simple, but it is a genuine artifact with many functions and powerful effects!
When fighting the enemy, the Battle Dragon King Banner can deter the enemy and reduce the morale and morale of the enemy; it can help the soldiers of the legion to be immune to mental attacks to a certain extent; it can increase the marching speed and training effect; it can improve morale, loyalty, and physical strength Internal strength recovery; there are also several very practical active skills such as [Blood Battle], [Defense], [Retreat], [Frenzied Attack], and [Trimming].
It can be said that this flag has directly increased the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guard Legion by a large margin!
Of course, such a powerful prop is not something that can be said for nothing. With the strength of the Shangji army, it is still unable to make a god-level military flag. This Zhanlongwang flag is the only god-level military flag among the flags presented today, and the rest are heaven-level military flags.
This precious god-level military flag was also a spoil that Shang Ji captured from Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Guards. It was originally called the Flying Bear Battle Flag. When it was captured, it had been damaged in a large area, and it was considered a broken artifact.
After Shang Ji returned to Xiangping, he immediately summoned many high-level talents and spent a lot of resources. Finally, he successfully repaired it, changed it to the Dragon King Banner, and awarded it to the Imperial Guard Corps.
Other legions also awarded different battle flags according to the situation of the legions. For example, the first battle legion under the name of Liu Yi awarded the night owl battle flag, the second battle legion under the name of Zhao Yun awarded the flying dragon battle flag, and the third battle legion under the name of Liu Meng The Battle Legion awarded the Benlang Battle Banner.
Therefore, according to unwritten rules, the first, second, and third combat legions can be called the Night Owl Legion, the Silver Flying Legion, and the Running Wolf Legion respectively.
More than 30 military flags cost a total of more than 50 million gold, which is far more expensive than ordinary heaven-level equipment. It is only a merchant with a lot of money and money, so poor that there is only money left. Other princes would never dare to be so extravagant.
It took two hours for Shang Ji to complete the process of presenting the flag to more than 30 legions.
For the residents of Xiangping and most of the delegates watching the ceremony, the flag-giving ceremony was full of excitement and pride in their hearts.
But for another small group of people, the flag-giving ceremony is a real torture!
This part includes but is not limited to the leaders of grassland tribes who have ghosts in their hearts, the adherents of Chenzhou who are unwilling to subjugate the country, and the spy chess pieces placed by other forces.
Among them, the one with the most obvious senses is Lieutenant Gui Yi - Li Shunchen!
As the top historical military general in Chenzhou, Li Sunchen was sent to Xiangping for retirement after Shang Ji conquered the Joseon Dynasty of the Lee family. During this period, he was very decadent, drinking away his worries all day long, nostalgic for the fireworks place, and striding forward towards the waste.
However, alcohol and sex can't numb the pain of subjugation, he thinks about restoring the country all the time!
However, as Shang Ji's rule over Chenzhou became more stable, Li Sunchen's hope of restoring the country became more and more bleak. Until today, after witnessing the flag-giving ceremony of Shang Ji's army, his dream of restoring the country was completely shattered!
As a top historical military general, Li Sunshin's eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary citizens who watched the excitement, and it was precisely because of this that Li Sunshin became even more desperate.
Except for the eight county military monitoring areas, there are more than 20 flag-handling units with a total of more than 600,000 troops, and none of them has a combat effectiveness lower than the seventh rank. It can even be said that among the soldiers participating in the flag-handling, the seventh-rank soldiers have all become In addition to the minority faction, the eighth-rank army turned out to have the highest proportion.
This made Yi sun-shin tremble and even despair from the bottom of his heart. Without other people, the more than 600,000 troops who participated in the flag-giving alone could sweep the Lee family at its peak.
There are many people who have similar ideas with Yi Sun-shin, such as the eyeliner of other princes lurking in Xiangping.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as Guiyi Hou Gaolingnan.
Gao Lingnan was the royal family of Goguryeo at the time, and he was also the last king of Goguryeo. All three of his predecessors were killed in a short period of time. Gao Lingnan was very knowledgeable about current affairs and took the initiative to donate soil, and used his special status to stabilize the old Goguryeo in Pingzhou. Great achievements have been made in the process of soil.
Shang Ji saw that the high-collared man was so knowledgeable, so he went to the court and canonized the high-collared man as the Marquis of Guiyi, gave him land and a house, and rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver.
Later, Gao Lingnan took advantage of his special influence to actively participate in the large-scale development of Goguryeo in Pingzhou, especially in the two major industries of minerals and medicinal materials in the three counties of Goguryeo, and he did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money.
Because of his unique vision, coupled with the rapid development of Pingzhou, Gao Lingnan now owns six large mines, seventeen large herbal picking teams, four large herbal processing workshops, and businesses all over the three counties of Goguryeo. Hundreds of thousands of people live directly under him, and their family assets are tens of millions. They are among the most wealthy businessmen under Shang Ji's rule. They live a happy life.
Now if there is a Goguryeo shouting the slogan of restoring Goguryeo to make troubles, there is no need for Shang Ji to do anything, the high-collar man will chop him up immediately!
Seeing the mighty military might of the Shangji army, Gao Lingnan only had pride and arrogance in his heart, and he had long forgotten what Goguryeo was.
