Chapter 615: Arrows! Beat!

The Ming Dynasty's Yellow Book of Enlistment compiles all household registrations in the world into three categories, civil, military, and craftsman, among which military households are divided into captains, wrestlers, archers, and auxiliaries. The category of this yellow book cannot be changed easily, and if it is entered into the military, according to the system, it is necessary to go to the military department to be removed from the army. However, the hereditary military position is different from the military household, but all the meritorious heroes at the beginning of the country and the meritorious heroes of Jingnan are mostly hereditary thousands of households and even commanders and envoys because of the merits of their fathers and ancestors. Originally, this hereditary assessment was very strict, but it has long been loosened over the years. There are often five or six commanders in a guard, more than a dozen commanders know and command affairs, and there are countless thousands of households, most of which are not actually granted, but just eat the money and food of the imperial court.

At this time, the person who took the lead in surrounding Zhang Chao was Mo Yong, the commander of Tongzhou Wei. Although he is only twenty-six, he inherited the military position of the dead Lao Tzu at the age of sixteen, and now he has been in Tongzhou Wei for ten years. Seeing Zhang Chao's eyes glaring at him with fire, he couldn't help but think of this guy's old fist, and then he became even more annoyed.

"Why are you staring at me, if you're not convinced, you might as well fight again! Don't think that you have the strength to fight, you only have one person, there are so many people up and down our Tongzhou Guard, and more than half of the hereditary military positions, see how long you can last? ”

He said while condescendingly glancing at Zhang Yue's group of people, and then folded the horsewhip in the palm of his hand: "You are the eldest son of Yang Wubo, who was originally supposed to be a knight, but now he has been thrown to Tongzhou Weilai, even if you have a title in the future, I am afraid that it will not be your turn, and you can speak for the third child of your family?" He has such a great reputation, and he often shows his face in front of the emperor, but what benefits has he given you? In order to help your third child, how much hardship have you suffered here? If you know each other, you should be smarter! ”

Zhang Yue was about to speak, but Zhang Chao pulled him behind him with a forceful pull. Looking at Zhang Chao's broad back in front of him, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and then he heard the big brother speak.

"That's my brother, I don't help him speak, should I help you speak?" He took a step forward as he spoke, and his broad body and back firmly blocked Zhang Yue behind him, "I can't even stand my fists, what else do you say about the Northern Expedition?" If you go into battle like this, nine out of ten will not be able to do anything, who dares to say that you are comparable to your father, brother and elders? Although I say that the military strategy is ordinary, I can at least stand tall and say that it is not ambiguous for Lao Tzu to go to the battlefield to kill people! ”

"You...... You kid is looking for death! ”

The officers, who were already agitated, were immediately furious. For a while, the shouting and scolding were mixed with the neighing of horses, and the scene was chaotic. Fortunately, Mo Yong still has a little brain, knowing that private fights are strictly prohibited in the army, especially such private fights in public. Stretching out his hand to stop a large number of colleagues, he said viciously: "Okay, since you are capable, then if you have the courage to follow us to the grove a mile away, there are six people here, and you have the ability to knock us all down!" ”

"Good!"

Seeing that Zhang Chao agreed without saying a word, Zhang Yue only felt that his head was big for a while. The military affairs regulations he had made before mentioned that military succession should be strictly scrutinized, but this was for the future, not the past. Those fait accompli are too widely implicated in clearing up, and the consequence of being too hasty will shake the foundation of the army. However, I didn't expect that this kind of messy rumors have been circulating in the army now, and even implicated Zhang Chao on his behalf.

Since Zhang Chao agreed, the dozen or so officers knew that he had always been the master of what he said, and they were not afraid that he would not come at the moment, so they immediately galloped forward with a shout. When this group of people left, Zhang Chao turned his head and said to Zhang Yue: "But it's all idle and itchy, so if you have nothing to do, you have nothing to do with you!" It's getting late, you hurry home and don't make the family wait. Don't worry, my second brother and I have never lost since we were kids......"

"But don't forget, when you were a child, you and your second brother liked to be stiff in everything, and you wanted me to hide it for you!"

Zhang Yue interrupted Zhang Chao's words, and saw that Peng Shisan was thoughtfully breaking his fingers one by one, and Niu Dang's four were also rubbing their wrists, he didn't know what these idle guys wanted to do. After a moment of silence, he said angrily: "Since I have seen it all, I can't let you suffer alone." Let's go, I'll go with you! ”

Although he is three years older than Zhang Yue, Zhang Chao has only been a fist since he was a child, and he never cares about ideas, so he knows that it is inappropriate at this time, but where can he argue with his younger brother, and finally has to get on the horse and lead the way. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the famous grove in Tongzhou Weizhong was not far away, he couldn't help but look back again.

"Third brother, you don't really plan to be with me, do you?"

"I just want to see how many of you are going to do a dozen!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chao suddenly remembered the cold eyes and plots he had suffered these days. His martial arts were personally appreciated by the emperor in the past, and he was even more top-notch after being transferred to Tongzhou Wei, but his fists were hard to beat with four hands, and those officers all sprinkled their anger on his head, and they fought privately almost every day, and the people he knocked over were about the same as the injuries on his body. Seeing that the grove was close in sight, he sighed lowly.

"I don't have as good a brain as you, that is, I just want to fight, and no one dares to make a fuss!"

Peng Shisan, who had been quietly following behind, suddenly rode forward at this time, quietly pulled out his waist knife, and then said lightly: "Most of the time, private fights in the army really don't dare to cause trouble, besides, the eldest young master, you are still the eldest son of Yang Wubo, but you can't stand someone who is angry and forgets the interests for a while." The eldest young master, protect the third young master and retreat! ”

At this moment, Niu Kang and the four of them also surrounded the front, and they all drew their knives out of their sheaths and put them on strict guard. It was too late, and just when Zhang Chao was in doubt, he suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking the air, followed by the clanging sound of the sword slashing something and a loud shout. After all, he was a person who had experienced the battlefield of life and death, Zhang Chao suddenly came to his senses, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

That's a bow and arrow!

Even if there is a private fight in the army, it is either fists and feet or swords, and few people will use such weapons. Although those people are impulsive guys, how dare they ignore military regulations like this, they will lose their heads!

Peng Shisan's eyesight and ear power were trained by Lao Tzu since he was a child, and they came in handy during the crossing, and now they have not degenerated, so he has just noticed the reflection of the arrows in the forest through the afterglow of the setting sun. Finding that the sky was getting darker and darker at this time, he turned his head to Zhang Chao and said, "Even if the officers of Tongzhou Wei want to give you some colors because they are dissatisfied with the third young master, this is already too much." The eldest young master took the two people and the third young master and slowly retreated, and I took Niu Dare to Zhang Bu into it to take a look! ”

With such a sudden discordant episode, Zhang Yue naturally wouldn't be able to use a hard pestle here, but he still repeatedly told Peng Shisan to be careful. When he had retreated a few dozen paces, he saw the three figures disappear into the edge of the forest. Taking advantage of this time, he asked Zhang Chao when this gossip began, but Zhang Chao shook his head.

"Originally, I was quite popular in the army, but it was wrong since a few days ago. Rumors are only spreading among our officers, saying that the imperial court is going to eliminate redundant officers, and the hereditary military positions will not be easily awarded in the future, and there will be a tight card when inheriting. As for the incumbent officers, who are smaller every year than they are in three years, and if they are not qualified, they will be immediately dismissed, and if they are engaged in favoritism and irregularities, they will be dismissed from their military posts and then exiled. There is also news that it is because the Ministry of War wants to use your rules and regulations, so you will leave Beijing and go to Warat in a while, so as to avoid the limelight. ”

"To take shelter from the limelight in Warat? Fuck it! ”

Although he has always been calm and calm, hearing Zhang Chao's words, Zhang Yue finally became angry. He wrote his own article, and he remembered every entry clearly, and there was absolutely nothing Zhang Chao said. You must know that the emperor also had a plan in mind, in order to avoid too much backlash, it was clearly the cabinet and the five governments and seven secretaries of the court, and he did not get the court meeting where hundreds of officials gathered, when did it become a well-known business? The funniest thing is to go to Warat to avoid the limelight, where is the place to take shelter?

"That's why you haven't been home?"

Although Zhang Chao said that he grew up with Zhang Yue since he was a child, and his brotherly relationship has always been good, Zhang Yue has a different temperament from him after all, so he almost never heard this third brother use such scolding words, so he almost didn't bare out his eyes just now. When he heard Zhang Yue ask, he couldn't help but sneer: "I have to deal with these provocations every day, and there are always some messy traces on my body." Your sister-in-law is a fine person, and after seeing it, she will inevitably ask, why should she be so idle for no reason? I might as well just stay in the barracks. Besides, I don't want you to know about these troubles......"

Although he was very grateful to Zhang Chao for this thought, Zhang Yue still sighed helplessly: "Big brother, I have to know about this kind of thing sooner or later, why do you bother?" Besides, seeing that you are bruised and purple, do I feel good in my heart? Moreover, it is not easy for you to be in the army, for me to make trouble for this part, how to lead the troops in the future, how to fight? ”

"Third brother, you have too many things to worry about, you are indispensable at home, what I have is brute force, and I can help some ......"

Since the death of their grandmother Gu, the brothers have not spoken so alone for a long time. Although the situation was not suitable at this time, neither of them cared about this. After a long time, those exclamations in the forest continued to be heard, and the silence was broken. Seeing Zhang Chao's face full of surprise, Zhang Yue smiled slightly.

"Needless to say, Lao Peng's skills may be inferior to Niu Dare and Zhang Bu in fighting, but they were able to escape on the grassland for a few months, but their ability to sneak up on them is one of the best. If there are no assassins in it, then all these people are waiting to be beaten! ”
