Li Dingguo followed step by step, for fear of getting lost and missing the prince's reward.

I already have a horse, what else will he give me? Li Dingguo fell into sweet doubts, grinned and followed Zhu Yousong to the study.

Zhu Yousong walked to the bookcase and pulled out two thick books from it, and Li Dingguo suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"This is the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "The Actual Record of Military Training", both of which were written by Qi Jiguang, a famous general of my dynasty, and I will give them to you."

Li Dingguo was disappointed, and sure enough, he was blessed and hurriedly said: "Lord, I haven't recognized all the words." ”

"I know, just by your resentment of that big bell, Lao Tzu knows that you will definitely not recognize it all!"

Li Dingguo was submissive and did not dare to speak back.

"Li Dingguo, is that horse beautiful?" Zhu Yousong asked shyly like a bad uncle who seduced an ignorant girl.

Li Dingguo swallowed his saliva and said, "Beautiful." ”

"Want to either?"

"Didn't the prince reward me!" Li Dingguo was afraid that he would regret it, so he said loudly.

"Hmph, I'm going to say the ugly thing ahead today. I'll go to teach you in a few days, if you learn, the horse is yours, if you don't understand bullshit, let alone a horse, you won't even have food in the future, you go, I'm going to eat. ”

Li Dingguo held two books, walked out of the study dejectedly, rode back to Ying'en Temple, and buried himself in hard reading. Zhu Yousong looked at his departing back, and smiled dumbly, he actually became this person's teacher, it was really in vain in this life.

When he returned to the temple, he first met Sun Achou's jealous eyes, Li Dingguo saw that his eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were bigger than copper bells, his thin face was flushed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Augly, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare me, you're sick? ”

"You're sick! Xiao Nan, you're too boring! With such a good deed, you forgot all about your brother? ”

"What?"

"You still pretend to be with me, Uncle Hu, who takes care of the stables, told me that the prince has rewarded you with the "general". ”

The general is the one who gave the black horse a name, and the one that Sun Achou himself likes is called "Beauty".

Li Dingguo sighed and said, "Not necessarily. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The prince asked me to read through these two books, and he will come to test me in a few days, and if he doesn't learn it, he will take it back. You say I can't read all the words, isn't it difficult for a strong man? ”

Li Dingguo held two books, got into his pig's nest, and turned them page by page.

For a few days, Li Dingguo, who usually didn't like to read the most, went crazy, and he didn't leave the teacher in the temple, and asked if he didn't know the word.

At first, he was just for the horse, but then the more he read, the more fascinated he became, and his partner Sun Achou and the two of them, with their heads together, stayed up all night reading, thinking, and discussing. has really reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and some people are born to be generals!

Ten days passed, and Zhu Yousong came to Ying'en Temple to watch the newly established Shenji Battalion drills.

The bird guns snatched from the Shenji Camp in the capital, and even the turtledove fire guns, Zhu Yousong no longer paid attention to them. Although the newly established musket team, all long-barreled flintlock pistols, is currently only equipped with 200 people because the production speed of craftsmen is too slow, Ma Shiying has traveled all over Henan Mansion, abducted all craftsmen, and sent them to Ying'en Temple with threats and profits.

The production speed of flintlock pistols has slowly increased.

Zhu Yousong looked at the soldiers in front of him with satisfaction who were using the three-stage shooting method, this kind of powerful shooting was far better than the shoddy bows and arrows of the Ming army. The kind of bow and arrow that can't even shoot through paper, Zhu Yousong had already seen it once when he opened the seal, and he almost vomited blood in anger.

After watching the drill of the Shenji Battalion, Zhu Yousong walked to the wing room in the backyard of the temple and asked, "Which is Li Dingguo's residence?" ”

An old man with a rickety body in the wing room led him to Li Dingguo's room, Zhu Yousong pushed the door in, and was almost smoked out.

Li Dingguo's house is the residence of him and Sun Achou, two and a half teenagers, and they are not clean-loving masters.

Now the two of them were holding a military book in one person's hand, arguing about something with red faces, and saw Zhu Yousong hurriedly stand up.

"Meet the prince!"

"Li Dingguo, Sun Augly, how can you live in this pig nest?"

The two of them were ashamed for a while, confessed, and walked out with Zhu Yousong, but fortunately, they were already arguing and blushing, and they couldn't see it.

Zhu Yousong found a small stone pile, and immediately had a guard and put a mat with animal skin and fur.

"Li Dingguo, you don't study hard, what were you arguing about just now?"

"Back to the prince, the two of us read the "New Book of Ji Xiao", and we have different opinions on the field arrangement, and no one can persuade anyone."

Zhu Yousong was secretly happy in his heart, looked at the two people standing in front of him, and said, "Give me the book, and I will test you." ”

Flipping through these two books of the Art of War, Zhu Yousong found one at random and asked, "What is this repertoire about?" ”

Sun Achou replied first: "Hui Ji is a compilation of entries from the training of local soldiers, and in popular terms, it is a compilation of various rules and regulations in the army. ”

Li Dingguo was preempted by him, and continued unconvinced: "Six measures to rectify the army: first, the first is to correct the name, so that the command of thousands of banner armies is orderly, and the orders of the guard must be carried out up and down;

Second, it is said that Nazhi strips the army of corrupt officials, and uses Su Jiu's long-term hardship to make morale gradually richer;

Third, it is said that the officials of the Diao army and the officials of the guard will dare to do things;

Fourth, it is said that the forbidden place is moved beyond the preface, and there is no seal in white, so as to suppress the military and government;

Fifth, it is said that with loyalty and righteousness, compassion for the war dead, and the idea of persuading the relatives and the elders;

Sixth, it is said that the household registration is cleaned, and all of them are arranged to serve as messengers to support the power of Hogo. ”

Zhu Yousong gave it a try, and knew that the two of them had really worked hard, and their talents were quite high, and he said with satisfaction: "Yes, the horse is yours." ”

Sun Augly knelt down and said, "Lord Wang, I also want a horse!" ”

Zhu Yousong was wealthy, waved his hand and said, "Go to the stable and choose at will." ”

Before leaving Ying'en Temple, Zhu Yousong found Zhang Hao and said to him: "You have to take the matter of the Shenji Camp to heart, this is a big deal." ”

"Don't worry, Zhang Hao knows."

"The affairs of other soldiers and horses will be left to Zhao Hong alone for the time being, so you don't want to run to him twice in three days."

Zhang Hao was deeply impressed by Zhao Hong's ability to command the troops, so he went to him if he had nothing to do and learned to observe Zhao Hong's every move. At this time, he was exposed by Zhu Yousong, and said with a red face: "Commander Zhao's talent, the more troops the better, of course I know that he is enough for one person, I just want to learn it." ”

"Haha, there will be opportunities in the future. Don't forget, you are the head of Ying'en Temple, and this is your job. ”
