The next day, the sun was shining in Leizhou, and the sun was already poking its head out early in the morning.
Outside the city, the camp of the Huanglong Forbidden Army, the camp of the Yuan Army, the camp of the Praetorian Guard and the Beggar's Army in front of the palace, as well as the camp of the guards and pro-army in the city, are all in full swing. Countless soldiers stood proudly on the school field wearing cloth armor, and the commanders of all armies above the commander of a thousand commanders sat on the high platform.
At this time, martial arts platforms have been built in each school field, and they can start martial arts just waiting for the holy decree to arrive.
In the past, there were few such grand events in the Southern Song Dynasty imperial army, and when they learned that they could enter the Flying Dragon Camp, all the soldiers were gearing up and ready to show their skills.
The emperor specially set up the Flying Dragon Battalion, all of which recruited family members, and its status was obviously higher than that of the forbidden army, who didn't want to go in?
Although he may not be able to soar, he will always be able to hold his head high and brag a few words in front of the old brothers in the future. After all, the tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in Haikang County in the entire Southern Song Dynasty only selected the most outstanding 800 of them.
Even the new recruits are eager to try.
In this era, there are not many people who have practiced martial arts since childhood. However, they naturally had to be teased by the old soldiers, and newborn calves were not afraid of tigers.
In a short time, the envoy with the holy decree galloped to the camps and stopped in front of the high platform.
The commander on the high platform and the soldiers below all fell to their knees.
The imperial envoy proclaimed: "The emperor has a decree, and the martial arts will officially begin." Each battalion selects the best 500 men, and chooses a day to go to the guard's camp for the final battle, and I will come to watch it in person. ”
Long live the crowd.
The supreme commanders of the armies stepped forward to receive the holy decree, and immediately drew their swords and shouted: "The martial arts begin!" This meeting is over! Don't harm anyone's life! ”
The envoys also sat down on the high platform.
The soldiers below, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed to the high platform.
For a time, all the soldiers were scrambling.
The Huanglong Praetorian Guard had the most soldiers, and Rao had dozens of martial arts platforms, which were also occupied by the soldiers in the blink of an eye.
Liu Hongyi held the holy decree in his hand and just looked at it with a smile.
There are no rules for martial arts in the army, and if you are beaten down, the monster is not good. Even if there are those who are particularly outstanding, but they are unlucky to meet more powerful people, they are thrown off the stage, and there are many commanders watching from the stage, and they will not miss the elite.
Moreover, in fact, which non-commissioned officers in the army are outstanding, these commanders actually know in their hearts.
If it weren't for the emperor's decree to be martial, they could have selected 500 people to send to the guards' military camp.
Therefore, all the commanders were just like Liu Hongyi, smiling and looking at the soldiers who rushed towards their opponents like wolf cubs on the stage. Occasionally, I saw people who didn't follow the rules, making tricks on the legs, grabbing nipples, etc., and laughed heartily.
The rest of the battalions of the forbidden army in front of the palace and the guards are also in this kind of scene.
Fortunately, Zhao Dongting didn't really come to the camps to watch, otherwise he would have to cry and laugh when he saw such a scene.
Where is this martial arts, it is clearly street gangsters fighting.
But I have to say that there are indeed outstanding martial arts in various armies, and they fight vigorously on the stage, and more than ten ordinary soldiers are not their opponents.
In the Huanglong Guard Camp, Liu Hongyi's eyes were attracted by the two of them after a short time.
These two people look very similar, their faces are like brass, they are born with wide heads and expanded faces, and they are extremely brave. The two brothers joined forces, and in a short period of time, they took down dozens of the remaining soldiers on the stage, so that the soldiers who remained on the stage were afraid and did not dare to get too close to the two of them.
If Zhao Dongting or Li Yuanxiu were here, they would definitely recognize that these brothers were Zhao Da and Zhao Hu.
After Zhao Dongting killed Wu Shunchang at the city gate that day, the brothers left the team, but they didn't expect that they were coming to join the army now.
Many commanders looked at the two of them, nodding frequently, their faces full of joy.
The martial arts of the two brothers, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu, were indeed extremely outstanding among the soldiers, and this was still a recruit they didn't know before.
Judging from the situation of the Yellow Dragon Forbidden Army alone, it should be a sure thing that these two people will be selected to enter the Flying Dragon Battalion.
There were two such good seedlings in the new army, and the commanders were naturally happy.
In less than two hours, the military meetings of all armies have ended one after another, and even the Yellow Dragon Forbidden Army, which has the largest number of soldiers, has already selected the top 500.
Some of these selected soldiers had blue noses and swollen faces, but they were all happy.
The imperial envoys congratulated the commander in charge of the army for a few words, and then left the barracks and rushed back to the governor's mansion to resume his life.
Zhao Dongting was studying artillery and firecrackers in the armory, and he was also surprised to learn that the martial arts would end so quickly.
The next morning, he announced in the council hall that he would hold a final meeting in the camp of the guards five days later.
In the past few days, nothing has happened.
The implementation of the field division system went smoothly, and there was no news from the pirates and the spies on the side of Xiulimburg. On the Guangxi side, Wen Tianxiang had a messenger coming, but it only said that Wen Junji was leading the army to entangle with the Yuan thieves, and the folk righteous people rose up one after another, and now the soldiers of the Xingguo Army have increased to 50,000 horses.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all overjoyed.
On the day of the final martial arts, as soon as the morning court was over, Zhao Dongting led a group of generals to the camp of the guards.
The camp of the guards' pro-military camp is on the side of the governor's mansion, covering a huge area, and the people are forbidden to approach it at ordinary times.
When Zhao Dongting's dragon chariot passed by on the street, the streets were full of kneeling people on both sides. However, the mountain cry seemed to be much higher than when he first came to Leizhou.
Nowadays, many people have been given land, and they no longer farm for those nobles all day long, and they are grateful to the Southern Song court.
If there is land to plant, there will be grain to eat, and the imperial court has also reduced a lot of taxes, and a good day is coming. In the past, they didn't even dare to think about it, in Leizhou, it was rare for the army and the people to be of the same heart, and no one wanted the thief to come here.
Zhao Dongting rode the dragon chariot to the camp of the guards, and the five hundred soldiers selected by each army had already gathered on the school ground.
As soon as he arrived, the sound of hooray resounded earth-shatteringly.
Zhao Dongting walked down the dragon chariot and walked in the front, Li Yuanxiu obliquely held the fish intestine sword to protect him, and walked to the high platform with a group of generals.
In front of the high platform, there are dozens of makeshift martial arts platforms.
In the middle of the school field, a large flag inlaid with a golden dragon fluttered in the wind on the flagpole.
Zhao Dongting was sitting in the middle of the high platform, and the girl who was dancing had to come over to see the excitement, so she stood next to him at this time. The rest of the commanders of the armies such as Su Liuyi, Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Liu Hongyi, and Wan Yanzhang sat down in turn. More than 10,000 disciples of the beggar gang have entered the army, and now they are handed over by Su Quandang to the former deputy director of the palace in charge of Dongheli, and only when the beggar army camp is built in the future, they can leave the forbidden army camp in front of the palace and move to the new camp.
There are also Lian Jiazi among them, who are real disciples of the beggar gang, and they are majestic in military uniforms at this time, but they can no longer see the appearance of beggars.
Zhao Dongting's eyes swept over the soldiers below, and when he saw that they were all full of energy, he was naturally happy in his heart.
Think about the time when I first crossed over to the Southern Song Dynasty, the 20,000 forbidden troops on Qizhou Island were like lost dogs, how could there be such a military appearance?
In just half a year, the military has developed like this, and Zhao Dongting is still a little proud in his heart.
Moreover, as long as the armory workshop smelted new steel blades on a large scale, the combat effectiveness of the Southern Song Dynasty army was bound to increase greatly.
Such an army is like an army that can compete with the Yuan army......
Nodding contentedly, Zhao Dongting bowed his head and said to Su Liuyi, the deputy military commander next to him: "Lord Su, let's start!" ”
Su Liuyi received the order, stood up, and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers, today's big competition is only compared to fists and feet, not to the blade, as long as you have confidence in your fists and feet, you can go to the ring to challenge one-on-one." The Holy Lord and I will select the best 800 people to join the Flying Dragon Camp. Saying that, he pointed to Li Yuanxiu, who was not far away, "Trained by Gonggong Li personally, you may not know that Gonggong Li is the most exquisite martial artist in my Great Song Dynasty, and it must be a blessing for you to be taught by him." ”
"Yes!"
The sergeants below shouted in unison, and looked at Li Yuanxiu with burning eyes.
Some of them had seen Li Yuanxiu make a move on the wall of the Xinggong Palace on Qizhou Island, and they admired Li Yuanxiu's kung fu from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing that the crowd was in high spirits, Su Liu Yi nodded with a smile, "Okay, the order will be announced now, and the martial arts exercise will officially begin." ”
As soon as his words fell, a soldier walked towards the martial arts stage.
At this time, Le Wu said to Zhao Dongting with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, can I also go up and try it?" ”
Zhao Dongting said happily: "Your girl's family, what are you going to do?" ”
Le Wu pouted and said, "But people haven't competed with others for a long time!" When I used to be at home, my sister used to practice against me. ”
The relationship between her and Zhao Dongting was already extremely close, and the ministers only smiled when they saw her coquettish in front of Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting heard her talk about Le Chan, and his heart suddenly softened, and said: "Then if you want to go, go and make a fuss." ”
Le Wu immediately giggled, jumped off the stage and ran to one of the martial arts stages.
Those soldiers who were originally going to take the stage saw her on the stage, standing in the middle with their waists crossed, full of cute appearances, and they were all stunned.
Then, they actually ran towards other martial arts platforms.
Seeing this, Le Wu stomped his feet and said, "What are you running?" Come up and fight with this girl! ”
Zhao Dongting: They watched it straight on stage.
Where did those soldiers know how to play music and dance, and pretended to ignore her shouts.
This made Le Wu even more pouting and stomping her feet, but she had no choice but to run back to Zhao Dongting in a huff, "None of them fight with me." ”
Zhao Dongting said with a smile: "If you want to fight, when I return to the palace, I will accompany you to practice." ”
Le Wuxi said: "Really? ”
Zhao Dongting said: "You have no jokes. ”
He didn't expect that because of this hasty decision, he, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, could not escape the "abuse" of Le Wu for a long time in the future. (To see the extra part of this book, please pay attention to the WeChat public account of the base camp of the two egg book lovers)
