After setting up the establishment of the Imperial Battalion's land and water divisions, Zhu Youhua issued an order that he would go to the Beijing Camp for training five days later, covering an area of several hundred acres, to observe the exercises. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the day of watching the exercise, Zhu Youhua deliberately changed into a martial arts uniform. At three o'clock in the morning, starting from the palace, a group of chamberlains walked in front of them with yellow umbrellas and more than a dozen kinds of honor guards, and hundreds of personal guards followed by horses in front and behind, holding bows and swords.

Out of the palace, to the west, to the school field dismounted, the imperial camp civil and military are at the gate of the camp to greet.

Zhu Youhua entered the school field in the barracks surrounded by everyone, sat on the throne on the high platform, with an umbrella fan behind his back, and the chief teacher Liu Zhaoji stood beside him, waiting for Zhu Youhua to rest for a while, and after taking a sip of fragrant tea, he knelt down and said: "Qi Shengshang, do you want to watch the drill now?" ”

Zhu Youhua nodded slightly, and then looked under the high platform, and saw 10,000 royal soldiers wearing brand-new bright red mandarin duck battle jackets and iron nets and iron combat boots lined up in the middle of the school field.

Liu Zhaoji ran to the front of the battle at the right time, waved the command flag, and immediately the drums sounded, and at the same time, the pro-army knelt down to the emperor from a distance under the command of temporary officers at all levels, and shouted in unison: "See my emperor, long live!" Banzai! Hooray! The sudden sound of drums and mountain cries startled the birds in the woods outside the barracks.

After the mountain call, Liu Zhaoji waved the order flag again, the royal camp pro-army held the soldiers in the drum, such as the forest advance, with the golden drum flag, the drum marched, the low flag tended, the gold was retreated, the military order flag waved to the left, the whole army marched to the left, waved to the right, marched to the right, the golden drum struck together, then the spear stopped.

The pro-army of the imperial camp quickly changed their formation several times according to the order flag, the queue, the steps were very neat, the fierce and sharp spirit was fully displayed, and the military appearance was magnificent, so that Zhao Zhilong, Liu Kongzhao and other nobles who came to watch the exercise with the emperor looked sideways, and they were embarrassed.

Compared with the 10,000 imperial camps in front of them, the "60,000 Beijing Battalions" under their command are simply a group of rabble, fortunately, the emperor is just watching the imperial camp drills, if you watch the Beijing camp drills, those old soldiers are afraid that even the array is not neatly arranged, and the orders are ordered together. Thinking of this, the faces of all the nobles couldn't help but burn a little red.

After a while, the gong sounded, and the pro-soldiers retreated to their original positions and regrouped as before. Liu Zhaoji waved the command flag again, and three hundred knights rode out of the crowd on war horses, and began to perform horsemanship, they hid in the swoop, and suddenly disappeared, and suddenly leaned forward and backward, or flew on the horse from the left and right, or jumped from the horse to change horses, and in the blink of an eye, the rabbit fell and fell, which was dazzling.

After the horsemanship performance, another 300 musketeers came out of the ranks, and they used all kinds of light and heavy muskets to fire at targets dozens of paces away, and after a while, hundreds of targets were smashed by bullets.

After the performance of the musket team, dozens more gunners performed.

In the open space in the eastern part of the military formation, there were thirteen glowing Hongyi cannons and Frankie cannons lined up, and there were several gunners of the new army of the imperial camp standing on the side of each cannon, and the muzzles of the cannons were facing the blue sky, like the bloody mouth of a monster, terrifying.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ......" The thunderous roar of the cowhide war drums sounded, which was the signal given by the chief instructor to send out the cannon.

The gunners were instructed to skillfully and accurately begin to clear their chambers, fill the charges, arrange the fire ropes, etc., until they were finished loading, and with the command of the flag officer, the flag waved: "Let go!" ”

The gunners immediately lit the arquebus fuse with torches, and then covered their ears and squatted beside them, waiting for the fuse to burn out, when suddenly the ground shook violently, and the cannon muzzle spit out an orange-red flame accompanied by a violent sound, and then the gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the shells flew to Xu Li away, many hit the target, and several jumped, leaving a series of craters.

The power of the cannon is as powerful as it is mighty! Many nobles and military officials have subconsciously covered their ears, with a look of horror and fear on their faces! It was despised by many imperial generals.

The collective military exercise was followed by the individual military exercise of the officers.

In ancient wars, the courage of an army, the bravery of the generals often played a great role in the victory or defeat of the war, and the bravery of the generals was conducive to boosting the morale of the army. The so-called army can have a fierce general, and the overall combat effectiveness of the army can often soar by one level.

The first to show his martial arts skills was the general Han Cheng.

After receiving the military order, Han Cheng stepped down from the altar and ordered to set down the arrow target, and then put two fingers into his mouth in a circle, making a loud whistle. Before the whistle fell, a jet-black war horse galloped into the school yard and stopped beside Han Cheng.

Han Cheng affectionately caressed the neck of the war horse, then turned over and jumped up, took the bow and arrow handed over by his own soldiers, released the reins, and galloped by the horse. After running around the schoolyard, the horse drew his bow and arrows when he was about a hundred paces away from the target, and in the blink of an eye he had shot three arrows, and the three arrows were nailed to the center of the target as if they were connected head and tail.

The cheers of tens of thousands of people burst out at the same time, and the sun hurriedly hid in the clouds.

"General Han is really a divine shooter!"

On the stage, many noble ministers nodded their heads and praised, completely forgetting their identity at this time.

The second to perform martial arts is Liu Zhaoji's nephew and old subordinate, Liu Chengjun.

Liu Chengjun was originally Liu Zhaoji's personal soldier, and with Liu Zhaoji's dismissal, he also returned to his hometown, good at boxing and fighting, and more than a dozen ordinary people could not enter.

Today, Liu Zhaoji used his status as the chief instructor to deliberately give him an opportunity to show his martial arts in front of the imperial camp, in order to get the eyes of the saint and promote him for reuse.

Liu Chengjun had to stand in the middle of the field, he was in his early thirties, his face was dark, his stature was short, he was not as tall and strong as everyone imagined, but he could give people a feeling of being as stable as a rock and unshakable.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. The cheers of the royal camp this time were far less loud than the cheers made after watching the archery just now, which showed that most people were not optimistic about Liu Chengjun's kung fu. Liu Chengjun naturally knew the reason, he smiled and said:

"Who's interested in having fun with me so that everyone can have a good laugh?"

The generals of the imperial battalion looked at each other, and although many people were eager to try, they did not dare to come out due to military regulations.

Liu Zhaoji turned his head and ordered the herald to pick eight brave sergeants to fight Liu Chengjun, and if he could capture Liu Chengjun or knock him to the ground, he would be rewarded. As soon as the words were announced, more than fifty sergeants immediately stood up, wanting to defeat Liu Chengjun and get a reward. The herald ordered eight able-bodied sergeants and promised again that he would be rewarded if he defeated Yoo Seung-jun.

The eight people selected were all powerful men, tall and big, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. Compared with any of them, Liu Chengjun's figure seems too thin, and it is a pair of eight, and it seems that the victory or defeat has been decided.

Eight people surrounded Liu Chengjun, staring at him, and the muscles of his whole body collapsed tightly, just waiting for the order to capture or knock down Liu Chengjun and receive the reward.

But Liu Chengjun in the circle is still calm, as if everything in front of him has nothing to do with him. But just after Liu Zhaoji's order, he suddenly became another person, his skills were as fast as lightning as an angry dragon rising into the air, swimming freely in the cracks of people, and at the tentacles, someone immediately shouted, like an electric shock, and fell to the ground with a bang. The changes in the field are too fast, making people feel dazzled, it is incredible that in just a few minutes, seven people have fallen to the ground one after another, and the remaining one person is obviously quite strong, so he can support until the end, but when he saw that there was no hope of winning, he hurriedly withdrew and retreated, surrendered and admitted, and even persuaded and served!

Liu Chengjun bowed to everyone and made a circle salute: "It's ugly." ”

After a moment of silence, everyone awoke from their astonishment, and the cheers rang out, as loud as the previous ones.
