Chapter 206: Military Exercises

South three institutes, this area has the Duanjing Palace, the Duanben Palace, is the residence of the prince after leaving the pavilion, and the original hall is called "Zhufang Palace". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Listening to Wang Chengen's deeds about Li Xiuwen, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but have a good impression of him.

In fact, Li Xiuwen has not really done a few earth-shattering and weeping ghosts. If it is said to be legendary, it can be used as a story to tell, and it is necessary to count the incident of rebelling against the eight hundred guards of the palace when Kaifeng was opened.

Wang Chengen himself has not been to see it on the spot, he has heard a lot of things, and he has a good impression of Li Xiuwen, so he naturally said it a little more divinely.

When Wang Chengen was talking excitedly, a crisp voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Hmph, Wang Chengen is deceiving people again, you can fool the royal brother hard!" ”

Zhu Cihong looked up and saw a little girl flashing out of the door, it was his sister, Princess Zhu Yujiao of Kunxing.

He smiled and said, "Imperial sister, why are you here?" ”

Wang Chengen also saw the little princess, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The slave maid has seen Her Royal Highness the princess. ”

Princess Kunxing's maiden name is Zhu Yujiao, and Zhu Cihong is a sibling, one year younger than Zhu Cihong. If Li Xiuwen sees him and hears this title again, he will definitely think of the famous Princess Changping, the heroine of a certain TV series.

Princess Changping was a title that was changed in the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Yujiao walked in, she had been eavesdropping outside just now, and felt that Wang Chengen was a little exaggerated. With some disdain in his heart, he pouted at this time and said, "I don't believe that...... Li Xiuwen, can rely on a mouthful of money to say that the eight hundred guards of the palace will surrender obediently! If he is really so powerful, why don't he fight the Tartars, and tell the Tartars to surrender obediently, won't his father be at ease? ”

"That's true, I really didn't think of this if you don't say it."

Zhu Cihong nodded thoughtfully. Although he is a year older than his sister, after all, he is young, and he always listens to what others say, and rarely has his own opinions. Speaking of which, it's not as clever as this young sister.

The two little masters said so, and Wang Chengen naturally couldn't refute it, so he had to echo it curtly.

Seeing that both of them agreed with her point of view, Zhu Yujiao was suddenly a little complacent. Her dark eyes rolled and she proposed, "Brother Huang, let's go out and have fun." ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, Mr. will come over to talk about it later." ”

Zhu Yujiao frowned, stepped forward and pulled his sleeve and walked out, and said, "What is there to read in this book, the imperial brother should go out with me." ”

Zhu Cihong hurriedly shook it off and said, "It's really not good!" Father Fang also said that I will be tested in two days, and I won't be able to answer at that time, but it's all thanks to you! ”

When Zhu Yujiao heard the words "father", she didn't dare to pull her brother to mess around anymore, turned around and walked out, muttering: "You still use your father to press me, hum, it's boring!" ”

Three days later, the Shenji Battalion performed martial arts in the mountains, and Zhu Youzhen came in person, accompanied by a large number of guards, and the pomp and circumstance were huge.

It's no wonder that the emperor rarely goes out of the palace, and he finally comes out once, and the safety side must be paid attention to.

To Li Xiuwen's surprise, Zhu Youzhen came to watch the military exercise this time, and actually brought a pair of children here, which shows that he is very fond of this prince and princess.

Many of Li Xiuwen's ideas for purging the Shenji Camp came from the insights of later generations. He had never personally led troops, and his familiarity in this area was far inferior to that of the two lieutenant generals.

As for the understanding of military affairs, there is nothing else except for carefully reading the military book presented by the master. To put it bluntly, he has not experienced actual combat now, and is just talking on paper. If you let him personally lead the army to conduct military exercises, I am afraid that it will make a joke.

At this time, on a higher soil slope, Zhu Youzhen was sitting in a special pergola, and there were guards standing with knives on the left and right. The prince and princess beside him seemed very quiet, and they didn't even make a gesture to whisper.

Li Xiuwen, dressed in a python robe, stood aside and quietly watched the military exercises under the hillside. A little further forward, is where the two lieutenants, Zhang Luoyan and He Kuan, are standing.

As the generals of the army, the two of them do not need to go into battle in person. On this high slope, you can most intuitively see the situation below and make countermeasures. When you need to give orders, you can just send the scouts down to give orders.

Zhang Luoyan and He Kuan were originally from generals, although they had never really fought in actual combat, but they both thought that they should charge forward and boost morale.

was suddenly promoted to the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, and when he first started training, he was still in the same habit. Li Xiuwen told them about this, and the two of them realized that the generals who commanded the army did not need to personally go into battle to kill the enemy, and their most important task should be to sit in the Chinese army and command and dispatch.

At the foot of the hillside, scarecrows are being targeted by the infantrymen.

The three-stage strikes that Li Xiuwen asked them to practice, as well as the three-column shooting method, were really effective. The three platoons of soldiers took turns firing, and the speed of the guns was really much faster, and the shooting in turn hardly stopped.

Now the accuracy of their shooting is not high, but Li Xiuwen is already very satisfied with their cooperative shooting. In terms of accuracy, it requires long-term training. It's only been a few months since I've been training and it's great to have results like this.

Li Xiuwen was already imagining that if these 10,000 people faced the 10,000 cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future, they should be able to occupy a great advantage.

After all, the infantry of the Shenji Battalion and the cavalry cooperated, with such a range and the speed of the gun, by the time the opponent's cavalry rushed in front of them, they had already suffered heavy losses.

Of course, when the real war with the Manchus began, it was impossible to bring only more than 10,000 people. These 10,000 people are used as elites.

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Zhu Youzhen actually doesn't understand military affairs. He has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he has never even seen a real battlefield. It is precisely because of this that those so-called elite teachers in Jingying can deceive him.

The military appearance of the Beijing camp is strict and orderly, the military discipline is strict, and it looks mighty. But in fact, they have never been on the battlefield, and if they really want to fight, they are far inferior to the border army. In terms of combat power, at most it is stronger than the soldiers of the local guards.

No matter how poor the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp are, they will often conduct some posture training on weekdays. As for the local health center, they usually farm when they don't fight, and when they fight, they can at most transfer some people to fight together. The experience of actually going to the battlefield is really pitiful.

To put it mildly, except for a small number of soldiers who are often transferred out to fight, the rest of them have no training in peacetime, and they are basically the same as peasants.

After several months of rigorous and serious training, the Shenji Battalion still looks very bluffing. As soon as Zhu Youzhen saw the appearance and momentum of this army, he felt very good.

Seeing their continuous shooting methods again, it is even more eye-catching. This kind of firearm fighting, even if he is a layman, can also see that it is stronger than bow and arrow shooting.

For this reason, Zhu Youzhen's occasional glance at Li Xiuwen even had a bit of approval.

Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao have a childlike temperament, and they have been in the palace for a long time, so they are naturally extremely bored. At this time, seeing this kind of simulated battle scene, my heart was naturally very excited. It's just that in front of the strict father, they can only honestly play the role of good children, and dare not make some actions that insult the dignity of the royal family.

After the infantry drill, it was the turn of the cavalry to play.

At present, there are more than 2,000 cavalrymen in the Shenji Battalion, which are divided into several teams to conduct cavalry and archery exercises, and each team is led by a commander-in-chief.

The people in front of them also have good riding and archery skills, but the shooting accuracy is much worse than that of the infantry, many soldiers can only hit the corners of the scarecrow, and even some people can't hit the target.

Li Xiuwen blushed when he saw this, he was only looking for an excuse to enter the palace at that time, and this military exercise was still a little too hasty. After all, it is a horse to shoot a gun, and under the same time of training, it is naturally inferior to the infantry.

Looking at her father's slightly frowning brows, Zhu Yujiao snickered, and she also found that some cavalry did not hit the target. At this time, I thought to myself: "I just said that although you have some ability, you are not that powerful, right?" Hmph, I'll see how my father teaches you later! ”

After the two teams of cavalry, it was Li Dong's turn to lead the troops.

"Tap, tap, tapβ€”"

More than 300 horsemen entered the battlefield, and there was a neat sound of horses' hooves in his ears, and Li Xiuwen wondered if there was a problem with his ears?

It's horrible!

More than 300 cavalrymen, even the sound of war horses stepping on the ground is so neat, what kind of army does it take to do this? (To be continued.) )
