Chapter 35 Inspecting the Flying Tigers
The next day, Zhu Cihong took Xia Nuan and rushed to the Zhuangzi outside the palace early, it seems that Zhu Cihong planned to draw people from the Flying Tigers to take over the business of Jin Shang.
When Qi Long and Fu Bo heard that Zhu Cihong had come to Zhuangzi, they hurriedly rushed out, knelt down and saluted: "See His Royal Highness the Prince, we can't meet him in time, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me!" ”
Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "It's okay, the two of you please get up quickly." Hongu also suddenly thought of the recent situation of the Flying Tigers, so he temporarily came to Zhuangzi to check. ”
When Qi Long heard that he had come to check on the recent situation of the Flying Tigers, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, although the Flying Tigers have only been training for half a month, their strength has long been different. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please, his subordinates will take you to see the results of the Flying Tigers' special training. ”
After listening to this, Zhu Cihong nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, please ask Qi Long to lead the way." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please." After speaking, Qi Long led the way in front and led Zhu Cihong to the martial arts arena to check the special training of the Flying Tigers.
"By the way, what about the Wang Yong who went to Shanxi last time to recruit him? How's it going? ”
"Returning to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Wang Yong is now the vice captain of the Flying Tigers, and is responsible for the daily training of the Flying Tigers together with his humble position."
"How is Wang Yong's skills? Which of you is better than each other. Just answer truthfully, you know the fate of deceiving this palace! After speaking, a chill flashed in the corners of Zhu Cihong's eyes.
Qi Long hurriedly said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Wang Yong's skills are not under the humble position, the last time Wang Yong was in Shanxi because of a cold and fever, so he couldn't use all his strength, so he was pressed by the humble position." This time back in the village, the humble post and Wang Yong had a serious competition, and the humble post was lucky to win Wang Yong's half move. What the minister said is true, and he will never dare to deceive His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
Zhu Cihong said in surprise after hearing this: "It seems that this palace really doesn't see the wrong person, Wang Yong is indeed a plastic talent." ”
Qi Long hurriedly said: "Not only that, Wang Yong is also familiar with military books, proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and even more involved in the fire gun and red-clothed cannons. This point has to be bowed to in the future. Thanks to His Highness's discernment, he was able to find a talent like Wang Yong in the crowd, and his admiration for His Highness was like a surging river..."
Zhu Cihong couldn't help but roll his eyes, hurriedly interrupted Qi Long's words, and said angrily: "Stop, put away your set, this palace said that the set of sycophants is useless to the palace, this palace looks at strength, no matter how good your sycophants are and how bad your strength is, this palace can't look down on it." If you have the strength to win the battle, even if you don't make sycophants, this palace will respect you. ”
Qi Long smiled after hearing this and said, "Isn't this a habit?" I also ask Your Highness to forgive your sins, and I will not dare to do it next time. ”
After hearing this, Zhu Cihong said angrily: "You have said this a few times, forget it, this time the palace will not care, and it will not be an example." ”
Qi Long hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I don't dare to be humble anymore." ”
After a while, the martial arts arena arrived, and the three hundred soldiers, each wearing camouflage uniforms, carrying a back basket with a stone in the basket, were running around the martial arts arena. Take a closer look at everyone's clothes, which have long been soaked with sweat, and the sweat on their faces is dripping to the ground. There were several thin men in the team, their faces were pale, and it was obvious at a glance that they were physically exhausted, but they still persisted with perseverance.
After Zhu Cihong saw it, he couldn't help but be moved. Seeing them, Zhu Cihong seemed to have returned to the past, and he used to see on TV shows that as long as the Chinese soldiers still have a breath, they will not give up. This is the soldiers of Huaxia, who shed blood and tears and did not fall behind.
"How long have they been running?"
"Back to Your Highness, they have now run 1,200 zhang, and there are still 300 zhang."
"Didn't the plan that this palace made for them at the beginning was to run 1,200 zhang? You're making it harder for them again? ”
"Returning to Your Highness, these are all added by their own volition. These 300 soldiers basically fled from the north, their homes were looted by the Jin, and their parents, brothers and sisters were all killed by the Jin, so they trained hard, hoping that one day they could kill back to the north and avenge their relatives. ”
After listening to Qi Long's explanation, Zhu Cihong was silent. What are these people guilty of? Is it because the place where you live is close to the Jin people? The good life was shattered by a sudden war, and all the parents, brothers and sisters died at the hands of the gold people. My people of the Ming Dynasty have suffered from war, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in the court only care about intrigue, who cares about these suffering people?
Zhu Cihong looked at these people silently, when they finished running 1,500 zhang. Wang Yong said "assemble", and the three hundred people instantly stood in three rows in an orderly manner.
Wang Yong shouted: "All of them, rest for a quarter of an hour, and conduct cross-country training after a quarter of an hour." Disband. ”
As soon as the words fell, the three hundred people collapsed to the ground tiredly, and Zhu Cihong hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this.
When Wang Yong saw Zhu Cihong coming, he hurriedly clenched his fists respectfully and said: "Subordinate Wang Yong, see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
When the three hundred soldiers saw Wang Yong saluting, they hurriedly got up one by one. Zhu Cihong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "All the sergeants sit down, rest and rest, you have just finished training, rest and rest, and only when you have enough rest will you have the strength to carry out the next stage of training." Then he turned his head and praised: "Wang Yong, you are very good, and the palace that trained this group of people is very satisfied." ”
Wang Yong respectfully hugged his fists and said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates don't dare to be greedy for credit, everything is the credit of Captain Qi, and his subordinates have only taken over for a few days." ”
Zhu Cihong hurriedly said: "Okay, you don't have to be humble, you and Qi Long are very satisfied with the palace that handled this matter." Hongu came today to see how the Flying Tigers are training. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, when we have finished training, can we really kill back to the north and drive the Jin people out of our homeland?" Someone asked
As soon as Qi Long heard this, he knew that something bad was wrong, and glared fiercely at the person who asked him.
Zhu Cihong saw it, glared at Qi Long, and then said with a firm look in his eyes: "Yes, it will be." Your homes have been destroyed by the Jin, and your relatives have also been poisoned by the Jin, and this palace knows that you hate the Jin. But at the moment, we're no match for the King, so that's why we're training hard. When you are successful, this palace will personally lead you to drive the Jin people out of our homeland. Not only do we want to drive the Jin people out of our homeland, but we also want to beat them to the point that they will never be able to offend our Ming border again. ”
After speaking, there was a round of warm applause from the crowd. "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, when will we be able to train successfully?"
"I'm afraid it will take a while for this time, and this palace doesn't dare to say the exact time. But there is one thing that this palace can guarantee, within ten years, this palace will lead you back to the north, and when the time comes, not only to drive the Jin people out of our homeland, but also to make those Jin people pay for their blood debts. ”
Hearing ten years, everyone couldn't help but sigh, ten years is so far away!
"Everyone here, your feelings can be understood by this palace, if you say that regardless of the cost, this palace can lead you back to the north within three years. However, in that case, there is a risk that all the 300 people present here will not be able to return. You only have one life to sacrifice to the Ming Dynasty, and you must not let it down at will. The palace has already given the drawings of the new weapon to the Ordnance Bureau, and when the Ordnance Bureau develops the weapon, it will be time for us to return home. Until then, we ask for your patience. ”
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we believe in you."
"Yes, Your Highness the Prince, we believe in you." The crowd gradually chimed in. Gradually, everyone began to say, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we believe in you"
After hearing this, the corners of Zhu Cihong's eyes turned red, he held back his tears, raised his left hand and said: "I, Zhu Cihong, swear to the three hundred brothers today that within ten years, I, Zhu Cihong, will lead the three hundred brothers here to kill back to the north and drive out the Tartars to restore China." If this oath is violated, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. ”
Hearing Zhu Cihong's oath, the eyes of everyone present turned red, a prince who was the crown prince of the dynasty, and the prince who was above 10,000 people under one person, made a poisonous oath in front of 300 people, and he would definitely kill back to the north within ten years and drive the Jin people out of our homeland. At this moment, Zhu Cihong is no longer a three-year-old child, nor is he the prince of a country, but the faith of these people.
"Swear to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"
"Swear to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"
"Swear to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"
Suddenly there was an explosion in the crowd, and the soldiers shouted one by one. Qi Long and Wang Yong on the side were enthusiastic, and they couldn't wait to find Jin Ren to fight to the death now.
Zhu Cihong waved his hand to signal quiet, and after a while, the crowd quieted down. "Ahem, ahem," Zhu Cihong cleared his throat. A little embarrassed, he said: "At present, the Ordnance Bureau is still improving the firecracker, and when the firearm is improved, when the cavalry of the Jin people comes, you only need to aim, and you can use the fire guns to attack the Jin people head-on." But before that, you need to train your physical fitness, and of course you can't just rely on firecrackers, after all, firecrackers without bullets are not as good as firesticks. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in laughter.
"I am very satisfied with your current results, you have to work harder to kill the enemy, the war is very close to us, when the people need you, when the country needs you, you can stand up bravely, pick up the weapons in your hands, beat the invaders, and protect our homeland."
After speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause. The sergeants scrambled to say that they would definitely live up to the expectations of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and if there was really a foreign invasion, there was no need for others to say that the Flying Tigers would be the first to stand up.
Zhu Cihong saw that the fire was almost over, and hurriedly said: "Okay, the time is almost up, brothers should go to training, practice hard to fight for the back to go to the battlefield, and kill a few more Tartars to avenge our family." ”
Wang Yong saw that Zhu Cihong finished speaking, and shouted: "All of them, assemble." The team members who were still sitting under the order stood up one by one and lined up in three columns in an orderly manner.
"All of them, the second weight-bearing cross-country 1,000 feet starts!" As soon as the words fell, the three hundred sergeants walked to the center of the martial arts arena in an orderly manner, picked up a piece of wood and began training.
Seeing this, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but praise Qi Long for leading troops. In just a few days, I brought these people like this, and I really didn't see the wrong person.
