Xie Zhi's prediction was quite accurate, and Emperor Hongzhi did not object to going to the high platform in the end.

With Hongzhi Emperor An taking the lead, even if the other ministers were unwilling in their hearts, they had nothing to do.

When Emperor Hongzhi walked to the high platform, Xie Zhi shouted: "Zhang Zhuo, you take someone to greet Your Majesty, and you must ensure the safety of all your adults." ”

Regardless of whether the exercise is held successfully or not, the safety of Emperor Hongji and every minister here must be ensured.

Zhang Zhuo is honest and honest, and he lacks He Liang's cleverness, but his own ability is not bad, and he can also draw inferences from everything Xie Zhi commands.

After settling these things, Zhang Zhuo accompanied Emperor Hongzhi to the high platform.

After a moment's effort, there was a starting order flag on the high platform.

Xie Zhi then said to Zhang Mao and Ma Wensheng beside him: "Your Majesty has decreed that the exercise has begun, and you will start issuing orders to keep track of the time!" ”

There is no clear time for Yun Zhongwei to capture the high ground, but the purpose of the exercise is to give both sides a chance to improve themselves, and the results of the natural process must be recorded in detail and detail.

Zhang Mao nodded, casually announced the herald, and ordered: "Shoot the arrow." ”

Xie Zhi also filled some gunpowder on top of this kind of arrow, similar to fireworks, with the high-speed movement of the arrow, not only can make the gap at the arrow make a sound with the flow of air, but also the gunpowder inside can also shine with the sliding with the air.

The purpose of the arrow is to convey the message, and the purpose of the arrow with gunpowder is even stronger.

After Zhang Mao gave the order, the whistle-like arrows exploded in the distance with a beautiful fiery red light.

Emperor Hongzhi, who was sitting on the high platform, was quite surprised, and asked Xiao Jing on the side, "That sound just now was the sound of an arrow, right?" What's that red thing? ”

Xiao Jing wanted to answer, but unfortunately he didn't know anything.

His Dongchang can take the food, drink and Lazar of the world into his eyes, but he doesn't dare to snoop too much on Xie Zhi's affairs.

The reason why he didn't dare to snoop was not because Dongchang was afraid of Xie Zhi, but that Xie Zhi was handling some confidential matters of the imperial court, and if the factory guards investigated deeply, it would be difficult to ensure that there would be no leakage during the period.

Once the secret is leaked, the firearms that the Ming Dynasty originally gathered advantages no longer exist.

Xiao Jing couldn't explain Emperor Hongzhi's question, waved his hand and called Zhang Zhuo, who was standing like a pine tree on the side, and asked, "Zhang Qinwei, what is that fiery red thing?" ”

Zhang Zhuo on the side was not deaf again, he had already listened to the conversation between Emperor Hongzhi and Xiao Jing in his ears, but he wouldn't interject if he didn't ask him questions.

Now that Xiao Jing took the initiative to ask, Zhang Zhuo was able to open his mouth and replied: "This is a special gunpowder that Yun Zhonghou himself installed at the end of the arrow, so that the arrow can emit light when it is launched, and as for what kind of light to emit, it depends on the gunpowder installed." ”

Without waiting for Emperor Hongzhi to ask, Xiao Jing said: "In this way, in addition to red, other lights can be emitted?" ”

Zhang Zhuo's honest face brought a bit of show-off, and replied: "Naturally, Yun Zhonghou said, the gunpowder at the end of the arrow is actually similar to fireworks. ”

After Zhang Zhuo answered, Emperor Hongzhi said: "The fireworks with fonts sold by those fireworks shops in Beijing were made by Xie Zhi, right?" ”

This was all a few years ago, Xie Zhi was surprised when he first came up with those things, but how many years have passed, and people are used to it, who has used such fireworks when they have happy events, and they have long forgotten who made this kind of fireworks in the first place.

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi say this, everyone finally remembered.

No wonder Xie Zhi was able to use firearms to the extreme, and he also came up with a new type of firearm to directly eliminate the Japanese pirates on the sea, it turns out that there is a reason for this.

While everyone was whispering, Emperor Hongzhi smiled at Xie Qian, who was not far away, and asked, "Does Xie Qing know what Xie Zhi got this thing?" ”

Emperor Hongji's remarks were not superfluous, but were intended to ease the atmosphere of boredom before the Great War.

Since Emperor Hongzhi asked about it, Xie Qianzi had to answer.

Xie Qian arched his hand and said: "The minister doesn't know, that kid has any fresh objects, any of his own thoughts will not say a word to the minister, every day when he goes home is all about eating and drinking, that kid doesn't say, and the minister won't ask." ”

Xie Zhi and Xie Qian are in charge of different yamen, and even if they want to talk about it, it seems that they can't talk about any common topics.

And the most critical Xie Zhi traverser's identity makes him too advanced in many issues, and Xie Qian can't keep up even if he is in a carriage.

But no matter what, Xie Qian is also open-minded enough, although he can't accept some questions, but Xie Zhi will not block it when he wants to do it.

After Xie Qian answered, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "Xie Zhi's kid's ideas are wild, it's really difficult to keep up with that kid's thoughts, but the kid is also a person with great talents, and his talent is rare in the world." ”

In front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Emperor Hongzhi's words seemed to be chatting with Xie Qian, but they were also an affirmation of Xie Zhi.

The more Emperor Hongzhi affirmed Xie Zhi, the happier Xie Zhi would be.

Soon, a group of soldiers with yellow ribbons on their arms set up banners belonging to the Shenji Battalion.

The leader under the banner, looking from a distance, can clearly see that it is Zhu Houzhao.

Under the banner, Zhu Houzhao did not know what exactly he said to the soldiers below, but he could also feel the heroic spirit from that team from a distance.

After talking to the soldiers, Zhu Houzhao began to distribute the soldiers.

From that high platform, you can see the situation on that high ground clearly, and although you can't hear what is being said, you can still see the specific strategy of deploying troops.

Troops were sent to the cols in all four directions, and the cols here in the north were quite flat, and it was most convenient to attack from here, so Zhu Houzhao gathered a large number of troops here.

In addition, a part of the men and horses were specially set aside as a mobile galloping force, and no matter which way there was a danger of being breached, troops would be dispatched to make up for it.

As a stick, such a platoon is foolproof, and there are no flaws.

After Zhu Houzhao's layout here was completed, Yun Zhongwei rushed from Jundu Mountain to Xishan.

Whether it is the main general or the soldiers below, there is no such thing as a Jingshi clan.

In other words, if Yun Zhongwei wants to capture this high ground in Xishan, it is really infinitely close to actual combat.

After arriving near the high and low, he did not see Qi Jingtong attacking indiscriminately, but first sent scouts to have a new estimate of the problem in Xishan.

Whether it is from the deployment of the opponent's troops, or on the basis of some details of the map, it is necessary to re-determine.

Xie Zhi, Zhang Mao, and Ma Wensheng waited for the situation in the exercise command camp above the high ground.

When the arrow was launched to announce the start of the exercise, the soldiers in charge of supervision had already been sent into the Shenji Battalion and Yunzhongwei.

Whether they are still effective when they are hit, and whether they can continue to fight, all need to be judged by them.

Naturally, as the emperor's minions, the factory guards will definitely have spies from the East Factory and Jinyiwei in this exercise.

These people will not clearly stand there to supervise, and as for which party they are playing, Xie Zhi doesn't know.

Liu Aliang, as the scout who was sent to lead the reconnaissance, arrived at the high ground after going out with his men.

Zhu Houzhao had also seen Qi Jingtong's method of leading troops, understood Qi Jingtong's tactics, and knew that Qi Jingtong would definitely send scouts to investigate first, so he left an ambush early.

However, Liu Aliang is also very slippery, and every time he goes to investigate, he will record the situation, and then store several people separately, and once he is discovered, he will desperately protect one person out.

When he was about to reach the high ground, Zhu Houzhao sent a man to catch turtles in the urn and jumped out.

Liu Aliang found out that there was an abnormality, and without saying a word, he took out the fire gun, and after hitting several of Zhu Houzhao's people, he immediately took out the sword.

Seeing that Liu Aliang seemed to be dying with them, no one expected that in the melee, one of Liu Aliang's side would directly rush out.

When the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion reacted, the soldiers had already run away.

Just as the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion took out their firearms and prepared to shoot, Liu Aliang went straight to a few people.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were already slightly inferior to the guards in the clouds in terms of strength, so it would be difficult to leave people to deal with the fleeing soldiers in such a one-on-one desperate manner.

After the soldiers escaped from the distance, Liu Aliang and a few people were invited and were willing to be prisoners of the Shenji Battalion.

It is not terrible to be a prisoner for the time being, but it is only great if you can go deep into the enemy camp and listen to the news of the enemy.
