In the exercise artillery range, more than 600 soldiers from the Beijing Battalion were responsible for maintaining order in the venue, and there were 1,000 troops on each side who were in formation to assist in completing the inspection and training of military arts.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask my ministers to show their performance today. If a flag is raised on the battlefield, you must show some expression. I am waiting for you."
It is a rare opportunity for Zhang Heling to stand in front of Zhu Youtang was bragging in front of him, as if he was already a master in the military.
Zhu Youtang looked at him with a strange look, as if "Why are you so crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhang Yanling asked, "Brother, what does pulling out the flag mean?"
Zhang Heling said, "Isn't it just a fight between people on both sides? Whoever pulls out the other side's flag wins"
" Haha."
Zhu Houzhao laughed when he heard this, "Uncle, are you stupid to think that military training is like playing chess? Things on the capture-the-flag battlefield can be solved by flags, so everyone can seal them. Hou is the prime minister. Haha."
Zhu Houzhao is a typical example of killing people and never hiding his emotions.
Zhang Heling looked confused, as if his outlook on life had been subverted.
I was still waiting for a performance in Capture the Flag, but the result told me that it was my own fault.
"Here we go."
Wang Qiong started from Zhang Zhou As he walked over, he respectfully said to Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang said, "The 12 regiments of Yinghou and Bo are divided into two groups, the east and west. They will go into battle first with cavalry and archery. Heling, you and Yanling are also coming."
" Isn’t it just that riding and shooting is much easier than capturing the flag, Boss, I’ll show you.”
Zhang Yanling showed great confidence while mocking his brother.
In his own opinion, I have killed enemies on horseback, and I can lose face by riding a bow and horse.
Ideals are one thing. After I get on horseback, Reality can teach this group of honorable officials a lesson.
Someone still needs to be assisted when riding horses on the spot, but when they mount their horses and complete basic slashing and archery skills, there are many martial artists present who are unable to complete these most basic drills.
"Look, Father, someone fell off the horse." Zhu Houzhao pointed excitedly into the distance, feeling as if they were not as proud as me.
The inspection has just begun, and it is just basic movements, but already the distinguished minister has been embarrassed in front of others, and Zhu Youtang's face is not to mention how ugly it is.
I have long expected that you will make a fool of yourself, but it won’t be so ugly. You are the generals leading the capital camp. If the foreign barbarians come, I will count on you as a group of generals who will fall off their horses. Lead the troops to attack
Am I not blinded by lard?
"Swish, swish, swish"
The mounted archery began, and every minister arrived on horseback At a designated location, the prescribed action was to ride a horse and shoot with a bow, and then
the situation happened again.
This time, most of the ministers could only stop their horses and stop in various positions, and then complete the bow shooting. As a result, some arrows fell directly to the ground after pulling the bow, or some arrows were shot out. Just a few steps away
For such a big target, not to mention shooting at it, even if it hits the surrounding area and scrapes it, there are only a few.
The thirty or so first-class ministers completed the bow shooting, each shooting three arrows. Only six people successfully shot one target, and two people shot two arrows.
The screen appears.
Zhu Youtang couldn't bear to watch it. He expected it to be very bad, but it was still amazing.
"Second shift, come on"
It is the turn of the relatives to come on stage, and this time it is even more lively.
Many people can't even mount a horse, let alone ride and shoot. Although the Zhang brothers may seem useless, few of them can ride a horse and gallop. But when it's their turn to shoot, the Zhang brothers even He couldn't even draw the arrow out, let alone stop his horse to set the arrow.
Some horses collided with each other, while others led the horses to complete the archery. Because the target was about forty steps away from the stop line, and the bows and arrows were relatively hard, most people couldn't even pull the bows open due to their arm strength. .
Among this group of people, even Cui Yuan, who had previously wanted to express himself well, was struggling to support himself. He was rarely able to complete basic movements, but the reality was cruel. Three of his arrows connected with the target. I couldn't even touch the edges.
"Oh"
Even so, the soldiers from the Beijing camp were still acting as the atmosphere team to cheer up the group of people.
But the initial encouragement seemed to be a bit of a joke in the middle and later stages.
It sounded more like heckling.
"This is what I expected from a school inspector"
In front of Zhang Mao, Ma Wensheng, Xie Qian, Zhang Zhou and others, Zhu Youtang no longer needs Avoided.
It’s just that Zhu Houzhao was still there
“Father, these are the only people”
Zhu Houzhao was also puzzled.
I have always thought that the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers had such ambitions that they could not express their ambitions, and they all looked like grandma’s legs. I also expected them to help me conquer the world in the future
The person responsible for supervising the inspection Li Rong said, "Your Majesty, most of the generals have not yet appeared."
This means that even if the ministers are incompetent, at least there are ordinary generals.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Yes, the British princes haven't done it yet."
Zhu Houzhao didn't like to watch the performances of ordinary generals, he just wanted to watch the fun, and in his opinion , people whose abilities are not up to par should get out early and make room for those behind.
"Old Man"
Zhang Mao's face was dark, and he knew that his end would not be good.
"Young Master, you don't have to be so humble now. Go ahead."
Zhu Youtang also made sarcastic remarks.
No one else can do it. You, Old Man Zhang, are still trying to hide. When you were young, Xiyuan hit three of three shots. Now it's time for you to boost your military morale.
"The old minister takes the edict."
Zhang Mao was also one of those who bit the bullet. Along with him, Zhu Hui, the protector of the country, was also put on the shelf.
Both brothers were brave in the past, but now they are Lianpo old, even if they have old men, they can't stand it.Heart, but the years have been wasted, and time has worn away the physical fitness and fighting spirit of the two brothers.
"Drive"
Zhang Mao rode his horse and took the lead. He just looked awesome. He bent his bow and set an arrow. It was impossible to show off deliberately, but he could shoot from 70 or 80 paces away. When he went out, only one of the three arrows hit, but the other two arrows were about the same.
Forget about hitting the bullseye directly.
Zhu Hui's situation is similar, he is also one of three, but Zhu Hui's riding posture can be more exciting.
"Father, I have been hit, it is quite powerful. Those young ones are not as good as the old ones."
Zhu Houzhao's words made the people around him feel ashamed, but fortunately Zhu Hui He and Zhang Mao also hit an arrow each. If they missed, then these two guys could resign on the spot and apologize.
"Generals from all the capital camps will come here in turn. If you have any skills, come on."
Zhu Youtang looked impatient.
It seems that everything will have to wait until Zhang Zhou finally comes to cover up his ugliness.
The martial arts performance was still going on, and Zhu Youtang was a little too lazy to watch.
The situation of ordinary soldiers is not much better. They usually neglect training. This is not something that the soldiers in the Beijing camp can decide. Zhu Youtang has nothing to do and allows the Beijing camp to occupy the army. He will also bear a heavy responsibility. responsibility.
So Zhu Youtang also seemed very upset.
"Those who don't come say they are sick. If their bodies can't bear it, then they won't receive their salary in the future. I don't want to see them again."
Zhu Youtang was in a bad mood. , the tone is naturally very serious.
Both Zhang Mao and Zhu Hui have just returned to the viewing platform. When they heard this, they felt a little embarrassed, especially Zhang Mao who always liked to excuse himself from official duties by being sick
Moreover, Zhang Mao is also known as a mean sergeant, and his bad deeds are etched in the annals of history, and everyone knows about it.
"Father, another group has arrived, they seem to be the elite cavalry of Yanwu Hall."
Zhu Houzhao became excited, and the leaders looked familiar to him. When he went south to Nanjing I have basically seen him, and he can be said to be the elite of Zhang Zhou’s bodyguards.
Two hundred cavalry came on horseback. The team did not look very neat, but it had great momentum.
When the two hundred cavalry arrived at the predetermined location, they reined in the horses and stopped them in a very uniform manner.
After stopping, they formed two rows. The first row fired a volley of "bang bang bang", and the hundreds of straw men in front of them were hit with dry grass everywhere. Then they were still in the first row, directly In the second round of shooting, this time their target was the straw man 200 steps away. Most of the straw men were directly scattered.
The second row came up, and it was the same. They could still complete two rounds of shooting at the straw man nearly 300 steps away.
After this scene, the entire audience was stunned.
That’s not all.
The two hundred cavalrymen continued galloping towards the next shooting point. They took only a hundred steps along the way and arrived in a blink of an eye, but the soldiers had already completed the replacement of projectiles.
Two rows of riders and four rounds of shooting allowed the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty to experience what it means to be crushed by the torrent of the times..
As the two hundred fine knights left the stage, no one could speak casually.
Even Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian, who were critical of Zhang Zhou in the past, seem to want to re-examine Zhang Zhou.
Zhu Youtang originally planned to rely on rifled cannons to hide his ugliness, but it seems that he no longer needs to do so.
These two hundred cavalrymen have taught everyone a lesson in front of almost all the military generals in the Ming Dynasty.
"Father, you are so awesome. In comparison, cavalry and archery are too weak."
Zhu Houzhao rediscovered the meaning of martial arts and praised Zhang Zhou, this naughty boy All considered restrained.
Even Zhang Mao and others felt that the little prince had hit the point.
It’s not that we are incompetent, it’s that cavalry and archery have fallen behind. Such a big change cannot be transferred based on one’s ability in cavalry and archery. Even if Lu Bu is pulled out of the grave, he will still be at a disadvantage.
Zhu Youtang said with a smile on his face, "Bingkuan, tell me how long it took you to train them."
Zhang Zhou looked around everyone present and then said, " This is not the result of Chen's training, but the training of Yanwutang's instructors. After mastering things such as dexterity, Chenwutang's instructors can design reasonable tactics based on the advantages of Shenjiying's firearms. It's just a question."
"Yes, yes." Zhu Youtang seemed to agree with this, "Wang Bo'an was promoted by you. He can be said to be flexible on the battlefield."
Li Rong smiled and said, "Thanks to Cai Guogong for solving the problem. Without it, none of this would be possible."
"Yes."
Zhu You Faced with such almost naked flattery, Zang didn't respond too much because he also considered helping Zhang Zhou build up his character.
Zhu Youtang asked, "Well Bingkuan, what should I take the exam next? Can you give me an answer?"
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty, today I am meeting with Ma Shangshu and Xie Ge. As always, we are all here to watch the ceremony, how can we overstep it?"
Li Rong said, "Your Majesty, do you think this is possible? Since the power of the Shenji Camp has been seen by all the princes, princes, generals, etc. present, it is not as good as Change today's strategy and military examination to the Shenji Battalion's tactics."
"It makes sense. In the future, I will rely on traditional tactics to deal with foreign barbarians such as Tatars. The power is not mine. We should use our strengths to avoid weaknesses. I agreed."
Zhu Youtang was very happy.
Finally I found something that makes me look good. I still have to rely on Bingkuan for this kind of thing.
Zhu Houzhao said, "Father, I also have a lot of ideas about this, and I also want to participate in the school entrance examination."
This time Zhu Youtang was not used to this boy's problems and was cold. Leng said, "Don't be ridiculous. Inform them of the test questions, prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones for them, and let them write military policies on the spot."
"Follow the order." As a supervisor, Li Rong participated in the exam and happily accepted the order. .
Zhu Houzhao felt that he had missed a chance to show his face, and seemed very unwilling to do so. He pointed at Zhang Mao and said, "What about the two of them?"
For Zhu Youtang, nowIt's enough to have Zhang Zhou earn his face, there is no need to take risks with Zhu Houzhao, and a strict father will not worry about his son's feelings every time.
He said coldly, "Today's exams are for the Jingying martial arts generals and other students, and there are also students from the Yanwu Hall. You are not among them, so you are not qualified to take the exam. As for the British Duke and the Baoguo Duke, they As the examiner, I am no different from ordinary candidates."
Zhang Mao had already cursed in his heart, who did I offend by asking me to take the exam with a group of subordinates?
It is too disrespectful to let me, an old guy who has spent half his life in the military, hold a pen.
The military policy exam has begun.
An examination booth was temporarily set up outside the performance artillery range. Everyone, regardless of whether they have been to the Yanwu Hall or not, must take part in this assessment.
Many people have not picked up a pen for many years and do not know what to write. They are still subject to this kind of proposition assessment.
It is impossible to hand in a blank paper. Just write a few sentences to express your loyalty to the emperor and your willingness to push the artillery to the front line and die in repayment for His Majesty's kindness
Be a part of it A variety of military strategies were presented to the emperor in person. After reading them, Zhu Youtang almost wanted to find a cannon to kill these people.
"With such sincere words, it seems that I have hindered their desire to serve the country."
Li Rong said, "Your Majesty, there are still people who have written very well. This formation is very detailed. "
"Yeah"
Zhu Youtang took one of the recommendations recommended by Li Rong and read it, and couldn't help frowning.
Zhu Houzhao on the side took a look and said with a smile, "It's not stupid to deploy hundreds of cannons to fight the Tatars. I think they will be like straw men, using them as wooden stakes to be slaughtered by others."
Zhu Youtang looked sideways at Li Rong and didn't say anything, but the meaning was obvious. Even the prince could find faults. Presumably this kind of strategy that does not talk about the actual situation but only talks about taking the initiative to form a large formation is just talk on paper. I don't need to say clearly. Okay
There were too many test papers, and Zhu Youtang himself didn’t know much about them. In the end, they were mostly reviewed by Zhang Zhou and Wang Qiong.
Zhu Youtang himself continued to watch the Beijing camp drills.
"Who is that?"
When it was the turn of the two sides to set up a battle, there was suddenly an army below. Under the guidance of a certain general, the lineup was neat and suitable for both offense and defense.
Li Rong took a look, but he was too far away to recognize it.
Then Zhu Hui said, "It seems to be the consort of Princess Yongkang."
"Cui Yuan is good."
Zhu Youtang did not expect that what he admired was actually He is a brother-in-law, not a battle-hardened general.
"Where is his military policy?"
Zhu Youtang asked.
Wang Qiong approached and said, "The answer given by Princess Yongkang's consort's military policy is excellent."
Then he presented Cui Yuan's examination paper.
For Wang Qiong, this is equivalent to "loving disciple". Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
