Chapter 27: Civil and military wrestling
The Ming Dynasty's review was originally just a military parade designed by Zhu Yuanzhang to show his military might.
In the Chengzu period, there were more projects such as inquiry, archery, and martial arts.
Inquire Tao, as the name suggests, is to inquire about Tao's strategy, and compare the generals' encampment, ranking and arrangement, training points, and coordination of troops.
As for mounted archery and martial arts tests, there is no need to elaborate.
But 70 years ago, there were two more, one was strategy theory, and the other was campaign deduction.
It is a small temple version.
So, for each item, there will be a champion.
Among them, the first place in the riding archery and martial arts test can also get the royal gold belt.
After the assessment of strategy, riding archery, strategy, martial arts test, and deduction is completed in turn, a champion will be selected according to the total score.
Therefore, there are actually only three awards that many generals want to compete for.
Strategy, Riding Archery, Martial Arts Test!
Because, the strategy is assessed by the eight-strand text.
The matter of deduction is completely presided over by the Ministry of War.
This time, Xue Han wants to win not only riding archery, nor just martial arts tests, but the championship.
Therefore, when Zhu Houzhao found Xue Han and Zhang Poyu.
Zhang Poyu grinned and laughed: "Your Highness will make a move, and I promise to fight everyone to find the north!" β
Xue Han also told Zhu Houzhao a piece of news.
This review was unprecedented.
Not only the three major battalions of the Beijing Army, such as the 3,000 Battalion, the Fifth Army Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion; Together with the twenty-six guards, such as Huben, Yulin, Yongqing, Tengji, Wugong and other guards; There are also military attaches in Shanhaiguan, Yanmen Pass, Xuanfu, Yansui and other places.
and important members of the military department.
Participate in this review collectively!
Zhang Poyu, who was no longer participating, was also ordered to participate!
Even the kid's most hateful strategy has to be tormented.
Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded, and quickly reacted: "No wonder my father wants the palace to participate, it turns out that he wants to find a few trusts to test the martial arts of the palace!" β
Yes, he guessed not bad!
Last year, he went out in distress.
Met the Ringing Horse Thief!
Is it true that Emperor Hongzhi doesn't know?
The Emperor is the most well-informed person in the world!
Emperor Hongzhi not only has Jinyiwei, but also East Factory, West Factory, and the trump card of Shadow Guard!
In the afternoon of the same day, the news was passed into the palace.
But Emperor Hongzhi remained silent and secretly scoffed, thinking that someone below was bragging!
In the emperor's mind, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, a person who can win such a little doll, can he still be called a bandit?
But Zhang Poyu made Emperor Hongzhi suspicious!
He's a real gold belt fighter!
Zhang Poyu went everywhere to boast of his invincible sword skills, learned from the palace secret treasure book, and was taught by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned!
Where did the martial arts cheats come from in the palace, why don't I know!
Coincidentally, Zhu Houzhao shouted and shouted that he was going to do a sparring for Xue Han!
As soon as Emperor Hongzhi's mind moved, he sent a few shadow guards to find out the news!
The news that the shadow guard came back to report was that His Highness was very powerful!
Hearing this news, Emperor Hongzhi was once again stunned!
If you want to shoot the prince's ass, you don't have to shoot it so badly!
All right!
Now that the prince is here for this review, too!
Then, try the prince's condition!
Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes, and guessed the process perfectly!
With peerless magical skills, he didn't think about covering it up!
But!
So ......
Zhu Houzhao immediately remembered another thing: "So...... Isn't this palace free to play? I can't say anything, I can help you clean up a few opponents! β
Xue Han and Zhang Poyu had an expression that Your Highness finally understood!
"Phew!"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes were leisurely, and he thought about it endlessly.
ββββ subparagraphββββ
Emperor Hongzhi issued a generous reward this time, Xue Han also wanted to win the proofreading championship, and Zhang Poyu also had to participate again, along with some senior generals.
In fact, the last time he and Zhang Mao joined Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, and Chen Kuan, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, to read and test the cavalry and archery strategies of the battalions in Jizhou Town.
There is a deep relationship!
Di Bao wrote: In the test, often the bow cannot be fired, and there are even those who fall to the ground; and inquired about Tao Strategy, but could not answer. Ma Wen was promoted, and he should be severely punished, or fined and deprived of his salary, or deposed and removed from office. He also requested the publication of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" and awarded it to the ministers of military rank in Beijing and the generals of all sides to enhance their knowledge.
Shame on you!
The children of martial artists who are officials can't shoot arrows, and their strength is weak and they can't even hold a bow!
Shame on you, of course!
It's a big deal!
This is one of the nine important towns of the Ming Dynasty!
Even where the least wars are fought, it shouldn't be!
What's more, it involves civil and military wrestling!
Then the literati have something to say, let's help compile a book of "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", if you don't know where to learn it, just learn the Martial Classics!
Martial arts can help you increase your intelligence and expand your knowledge!
"Zier Wisdom!"
What a naked mockery!
Originally, it was not shameful for a warrior to learn the scriptures compiled by literati!
But this letter came out.
If any martial artist went to learn the martial arts scriptures compiled by literati, everyone would simply wipe their necks!
On the contrary, this is the martial artist himself who is not angry!
Zhang Mao's face turned the color of pig liver, and it didn't help!
Of course, he knew that these unimportant places were the gilded places of some noble children.
These guys only need to take a spin and have a few more highlights on their resumes.
He also knew that these guys were really on the battlefield, and there was nothing else to contribute except to add a victory to the Tatars.
But what can he do?
There is a lot of corruption in the civil service system, but there is not in the military service?
Therefore, the storm in the DPRK has pushed this review to a climax!
This is also the real reason why Xue Han lacked interest in previous years and had to come forward this year.
Because, the big school review is not only a test of riding and archery, nor is it just a test of martial arts, and it is not just a test of Tao strategy.
It's about strategy, archery, martial arts, strategy, and deduction together!
Who takes advantage of this thing in strategy and deduction?
Who's awesome?
To tell the truth, it's a group of literati in the military department!
The civilian system doesn't matter at all, buddies can have a place in the school parade, and they will be able to dictate military affairs in the future.
That's enough!
And what about the warriors?
Since it is a foregone conclusion that we are going to test Lao Shizi's strategy, then don't be crooked!
Take out the simple and neat way of doing things for the warriors!
Find a literary genius from among the nobles!
As long as he can write the eight-strand text decently and can say the meaning, it won't be a loss of points!
And, if you are better at riding and archery, it is the martial artist who wins the championship.
That's handsome!
That's it!
Martial arts, even if it is glory!
We will continue to have the right to speak!
So!
The bigwigs of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies searched all over the capital, and finally found such a treasure as Xue Han!
Together with Zhang Poyu, as well as several generals with outstanding military strength, they were also secretly ordered!
This is what the imperial court really thinks with many old guys such as the British Duke Zhang Mao, the Duke of Chengguo Zhu Fu, and the Duke of Dingguo Xu Yongning!
That's it, Xue Han went to Zhu Houzhao to build weapons.
