Chapter 104: Hunting

Rumbling drums sounded.

When the sun has just risen, there is still a hint of coolness between heaven and earth.

A large group of cavalry appeared in the South Garden.

Zhu Qizhen rode on his horse, his gaze sweeping. He sent out one or two thousand people for this hunting, and the Beijing camp handlers on the periphery, as well as the cavalry, drove a large number of wild beasts to the front.

On both sides of him were a large number of generals lined up on the left and right, waiting for Zhu Qizhen to give an order.

Zhu Qizhen bent his bow and set up arrows, the board in his hand pulled the arrow strings, and his arms were forceful, and the bow was pulled away violently.

This is a stiff bow, although it cannot be compared with the bow used by some fierce generals in the army, but it is not used by children. After years of training, coupled with the growth of the body. Zhu Qizhen's physical strength is no less than that of ordinary soldiers.

Zhu Qizhen's hand loosened, and the long arrow whistled away, with a sharp whistle.

This is the Ming Dysprosium.

The whistle sounded like a command.

Countless hunters rushed away.

Zhu Qizhen also rushed over with his personal guards.

Zhu Qizhen controlled the horse with both feet, bent bows and arrows in his hands, and surrounded by guards.

He occupies the best hunting ground, and the guards all know their position, as if they all bend their bows and arrows, but they never let go of the arrows, they are just waiting for Zhu Qizhen to shoot.

They just want to be on the lookout for some beasts to burst out.

However, there are no beasts in this South Garden.

Zhu Qizhen only felt that the wind was blowing past his ears, and the whole person and the war horse under his crotch were one, and there was a feeling of flying close to the ground.

Although he also shot water birds and other things in the palace, how can these things compare with today's large-scale hunting. ，

Zhu Qizhen only felt that in front of him, there were countless animals flying around, the most of them were rabbits, as for deer, sheep, and even wolves, there were all kinds of animals.

The animals of the entire South Garden were driven together.

That's why this herbivore is mixed with carnivores.

Zhu Qizhen let go of his hand and shot the first arrow.

He aimed at a rabbit, but he was still inexperienced, and suddenly shot missed.

It was just something he shot in the air, and an arrow flew out of his side, and immediately nailed the rabbit to the ground, and immediately separated a guard to pick up the prey.

This is not a prey competition with Zhu Qizhen.

Anyway, these prey will be recorded in Zhu Qizhen's name in the end. Participating in hunting with guards is a tacit thing for everyone.

Zhu Qizhen has a very good foundation, and there is Li Dachuan by his side, such a high-finger point. Slowly groping for the mystery. Five or six long arrows out of ten arrows can be shot.

However, the shots were all rabbits.

Don't look at the low head, after all, this is riding on a horse and shooting, with Zhu Qizhen's ability, and now when he goes into battle to kill the enemy, he can also be a qualified soldier.

As for why it's all rabbits, it's because there are too many rabbits. Zhu Qizhen also had to admit that many arrows were blindfolded, although there were a lot of various prey here.

But most of them are rabbits.

The ability of rabbits to reproduce, that goes without saying.

And Nanyuan is not an old forest in the mountains after all. There are not many large prey. Zhu Qizhen ejaculated for more than an hour, and he sweated all over his body, but he felt that it was enjoyable.

It seems that in this era, the only form of entertainment that can be compared with later computer games is hunting. can make the desire for conquest at the bottom of every man's heart completely inflated.

Zhu Qizhen was also a little nostalgic for a while.

However, Li Dachuan stopped Zhu Qizhen and said, "Your Majesty, if you continue, I'm afraid the Holy Body will be damaged." ”

Zhu Qizhen said; "I see."

Zhu Qizhen knows very well that although he looks like an adult, in fact, his body has not yet completed his growth, and if he is too old and tired, it will not be good for his health.

Zhu Qizhen took his horse back to the camp and went to count the prey.

There were more than 80 rabbits, and there was a deer, but as for wild boars, tigers, leopards, and other beasts of prey, not a single one was found.

As for how many of them were shot by Zhu Qizhen, and how many were shot by the guards around him, there is no need to go into details.

After Zhu Qizhen returned, he found that most of the people had not returned.

The reason is very simple, Zhu Qizhen will hunt this time, but he has set up a lottery, and they will not come back in the afternoon.

After Zhu Qizhen returned to the camp, Wang Ying immediately greeted him and said, "Your Majesty, is this hunting now?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile; "Luckily, didn't Mr. stretch out his hand?"

Don't think that the scholars in the early Ming Dynasty were powerless, in fact, the chaos in the early Ming Dynasty was decided, and the force value of many scholars was not low.

You must know that when Emperor Taizong went on the Northern Expedition, there were many civil officials accompanying him, and when he was fighting, Emperor Taizong did not have preferential treatment, and he shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Not to mention these civil officials.

But most of the people like Yang Shiqi have such experiences.

You can do it on horseback and with a bow.

Although Wang Ying is not as good as their predecessors, they are still good at hunting, but they are not as good as when they were young, and said: "The ministers are old, they dare not follow Your Majesty to dabble, but today, the ministers also have gains, and Your Majesty is not willing to hear it?" ”

Zhu Qizhen turned over and dismounted, and someone immediately put down the two Maza. Zhu Qizhen sat down on one and said, "Mr. Wang, please take a seat, I don't know what Mr. has gained?" ”

Wang Ying was also accustomed to Zhu Qizhen's courtesy to him.

Zhu Qizhen has been playing such a role in the past few years. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that although the emperor was small, he was approachable and never angered others. The minister of courtesy also brought a lot of supporters to Zhu Qizhen.

Wang Ying said: "The minister heard a story, Your Majesty a month ago, Wen Adai Khan's head was sent from Mobei, and decided to hunt today, Nanhaizi here, there are many eunuchs to recruit the people, hunt, and even go into the West Mountain to hunt tigers, and it must be alive, in order to hunt tigers I don't know how many hunters have died. That's it, after catching the tiger. Don't let the tiger starve to death. ”

"But the beasts of prey eat meat, and the people rarely have meat for a year, and now they pay it all to the mouths of beasts."

Zhu Qizhen was taken aback and said, "There is such a thing? ”

Wang Ying said: "The minister doesn't dare to lie. ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at Wang Zhen and said, "Wang Daban, this matter is handed over to you, don't keep any of the people who hurt my reputation like this." ”

Wang Zhen said: "The slave understands. ”

Wang Ying said: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "He is wise, but he can't even manage the house slaves. ”

The more time passed, the more Zhu Qizhen understood one thing, and it was probably impossible to expect the eunuch to do something big. The court of Guy is a very twisted being.

And this eunuch is mixed up in the Forbidden City, once he goes out to do errands, he will definitely use the holy decree to accumulate a lot of money, and he will never give up until he earns enough.

Eunuchs are all people who have no bottom line.

They even cut the bottom for the sake of wealth, expecting them to have any moral bottom line, but they don't even think about it.

Although the power of life and death is in the hands of the emperor, it can be killed in a word, but the side effects of doing things are too great.

It's not that all civil officials are good, at least at this time, under the rectification of Sanyang, politics is probably clear.

It cannot be said that there are no corrupt officials, but there are not many of them.

But among the eunuchs, it is not without incorruptibility, it is simply rare.

In the past few years, Zhu Qizhen has watched the government coldly, but he has also carefully investigated the eunuchs in various places. But he came to a conclusion that it is okay to use eunuchs to fight for power. But to use eunuchs to govern the world, you can't say no. But the side effects are too great.

Wang Ying said: "Your Majesty, in fact, it's no wonder that they are at this time, Your Majesty wants to hunt, where you are, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, although there is a lot of open land, but how can there be so many fierce beasts." Today, His Majesty hunted and mobilized tens of thousands of troops to make the king happy, and all he spent was the people's fat and people's anointment. ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

As soon as Zhu Qizhen heard it, he knew that Wang Ying was ready to advise. Zhu Qizhen has always had a gentle attitude towards Wenchen. This brought him a lot of good reputation, and at the same time, it also made the minister frequently admonish.

With such a posture, Zhu Qizhen has seen too much.

Zhu Qizhen immediately said: "What Mr. said is extremely true. It's just that I can hunt today, and I'm not here for the prey. Just for the sake of the whole army, although there is a good news in the northwest, but now the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are not as good as the Taizong Dynasty. ”

"I am the Son of Heaven, how can I not pay attention to it."

The fact that the Mongols know how to hunt is itself very closely related to the military, and even the methods of the Mongols to fight wars come from hunting.
