Yuanfu.

In the front hall of the main house in the backyard, the barking of dogs outside has just subsided, and the candles have just been lit.

"Second brother, this midnight third watch, you told me that you came to ask for a horse... Ahh ”

The heating in the house was very hot, Yuan Ji only put on a coat, but his eyes were still squinting, rubbing his eyes and yawning, and the sleepiness was still not gone, "The horse is breeding in the Zhuangzi outside, give birth to a few foals and then return you, what's the hurry." ”

"I'm not here to ask for a horse."

Under the service of Qiqige, Fuquan took off the end mask he was wearing, stomped on the snow on his feet, thanked Qiqige first, and then sat on the lacquered stool on the right side of the pear blossom wooden table, leaning slightly towards Yuanji, and said in a low voice, "The emperor asked me to accompany you and take a look at the big killer you said." ”

"Huh?"

Yuan Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "The emperor doesn't take a look at it himself?" ”

After a pause, he nodded again, "You see, too." ”

"Second brother, eat dates and snacks."

Qiqige helped Fuquan hang up his clothes, and brought a plate of dim sum with partitions, and there were five small snacks inside, "Hot milk tea, big name green tea, cold white open, which one to drink?" ”

said, and said enthusiastically, "Why don't I ask Mother Zhang to give you a bowl of hot hand?" ”

Copying hands is wontons, called wontons in the south, and Jingshi will also be called wontons in the future, but now it is called copying hands.

"Sister-in-law Nine, don't be busy."

Fuquan said politely, and said unceremoniously, "Let the kitchen serve a plate of steamed buns to the second brother, and wait outside the palace in the evening, I'm afraid that I'm going to Gong, and there is really nothing in my stomach." ”

Manchurians see guests, and their wives and daughters do not avoid guests, let alone their own families, but fathers and sons cannot share the same table, but daughters can have the same table.

Because Manchurian women do not bind their feet, they are now known as "big-footed women", which is different from the boldness of the small jasper. Not to mention the Mongolian woman, she shouted the second brother with Yuanji with a big grin.

When I called my name directly, it was Kangxi: "Xuanye, Yuanji thinks I'm short, I said that Yuanji is not as tall as my horse, Yuanji said that it has to be compared with whom, and said that the emperor grew up and grew less than one meter six." ”

Kangxi is very tolerant of the little girl who just came from Mongolia, and he is not angry with tongue twisters, but he is sensitive to the word "can't grow": "How tall is one meter six?" ”

"So high, so high."

After the wedding, he entered the palace with the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor invited Qiqige, who was only eleven years old, was not tall in his own right, and he was jumping up and down, "It is as high as Taji, who was sent by his father Khan, bowed his head." ”

"Who's Taji?" Kangxi wondered.

"It's a white camel." Qiqige replied, "Father Khan likes it, in Yuanji's tent." ”

"Hmm." Kangxi instructed, "Send the white camel into the palace, and I will take a look." ”

Yuan Ji was inexplicably imprisoned again, and only then did he learn about the white camel entering the palace.

Kangxi hates Yuanji very much, but is very friendly to Kikige, whom Yuanji hates, and Fuquan also seems to like Kikige a little more than Yuanji.

This made Yuanji, who thought he was very popular, very sad, and saw that Fuquan casually instructed his wife to take the buns, and he was very unhappy: "The buns should be steamed, usually at two or three o'clock in the morning... Well, it's only steamed when it's ugly.,The noodles haven't been made yet.,Is it twelve o'clock now? ”

"Didn't hear the bell ringing."

Qiqige replied, called the maid in from outside the door, and ordered the second master to go to the kitchen to get the buns, and if not, he would steam them, and then turned his head and asked, "Second brother, what kind of stuffing do you eat?" ”

"Pork vermicelli, sauerkraut chili, pork filling, lamb filling."

Fu Quan dusted off his pants and commanded with a familiar voice, "Two more baskets of soup dumplings." ”

Yuan Ji didn't say anything, let the maid go by herself, and when the maid left, he said to Qiqige: "Let Mother Zhang send green tea over, it is stronger, and prepare a copy for the guards brought by the second brother of the front hall." Let Zhao Fu tell the front yard to set up the car and leave before dawn. ”

"What kind of car?"

Fu Quanyi waved his hand, "Ride away." ”

"Don't mind, it's not an ox cart, it's not a horse-drawn cart, it's a new horse-drawn carriage."

Yuan Ji saw that Fuquan looked over, and said with a little pride, "The black light is blind, and riding a horse is not necessarily as fast as riding a carriage, and it is still warm and comfortable." Originally, I was going to fight three cars and use them together, but now there is one, and there is no problem with the two of us, but it is really broken halfway, so let's change the horse again. ”

Fuquan knew that the ninth brother liked to collect strange bits and pieces, and made strange things, and within two days of Xiao Jiu, the spontaneous fire gun that Hongyi gave him, took it away, and returned him with a two-eyed handgun, which was more delicate than Hongyi's.

The vegetables eaten at home in winter, the coal burned is still provided by Xiao Jiu, and the floor heating, bathhouse, and sauna are all the same as those of Xiao Jiu's family.

In the more magical summer, there are coal-burning "refrigerators" and "air conditioners", and the hot air burns through the copper pipes, but what comes out is the cold wind, which is the same as a trick, not to mention how comfortable it is to blow in the summer, and I don't want to come out of the house.

He was used to a few rare things coming out of the Ninth Brother's Mansion from time to time, he didn't make much fuss, he didn't ask, he picked up the hot tea and drank it himself, and laughed after taking a sip: "Xiao Jiu, people are serving tea to send guests, you don't need a cup to drink tea, use this to greet guests?" ”

As he spoke, he took the thick-walled porcelain cup in his hand, and his hand sank.

"I'll give him a watermelon, why do you say you learn these crepe from others?"

Yuan Jibai is not fake, but he doesn't delay to reprimand the second brother of the prince in person, and he doesn't talk about the rules at all, but he doesn't know what to think of, and he is quite embarrassed, "I don't want to spit out tea all the time, but second, mainly because I have often run with the flag in the past few years." In addition, I have seen a few formations, the front and rear golden drums and guns, the people on the left and right shouting horses neighing, and the ears are as if they are blocked by a layer of water, and they have to roar when they say something face-to-face. I always feel that my throat and eyes are smoking, the water is not enough, and the small cup of water is too troublesome. ”

Fuquan was silent for a moment, and sighed lightly: "Even in our Manchuria, it's too early for you to see the battle." The second brother has heard of your brave name, not above the court, but in the discussion of the people below. To say, it is just a few big Baylors when Emperor Taizu was blue, and they were about the same age as you when they first formed. ”

"I don't dare to compare with Big Baylor."

Yuan Ji smiled, "I'm not leading the soldiers, I'm being led, a vest." Wasn't it that the earlier guards were willing to fill up the armor of the guards, and they were desperately protecting by their side, where did they get any brave names? My brave name, it's all in vain, just rush to the battlefield and rush to death, rush out. At least he died on the battlefield, and his body fell forward, didn't he? ”

As he spoke, his eyes were covered with a touch of water red, and he choked up slightly, "Those who want to die are alive, and those who don't deserve to die are dead, if it weren't for telling those who shouldn't die, they didn't die in vain, and my second brother didn't come out of anything, so why bother to provoke anything?" ”

The teacup that was being lifted towards his mouth froze, a touch of embarrassment appeared on Fuquan's face, he coughed lightly, put the teacup on the table, and said angrily: "Resentful, obviously you beat the little stubborn, and you have a tyrannical and indiscriminate temperament at a young age, but it is to blame Khan Ama and the emperor for grinding your temperament?" Still pulling the second brother on? The second brother asked you to provoke Aobai? ”

After a pause, he said softly, "It is the duty of a slave to protect the master, how can it be considered a vain death to protect the master, there are pensions in the court flag, and you can also be shaded by your descendants." Do you have a chance to die to protect the prince?

In order to attack the city and ascend half the future, how many Manchurian athletes were not under the city wall and ladder, and how many were coated to go forward and succeed?

What died to protect you, that was to die in the Qing Dynasty, the court and the flag have their own rewards as usual, how can you be careful? Your sin is your sin, and if you are wrong, you are wrong, and you should not blame others, let alone hold grudges. ”

"What is sin and what is wrong?"

Yuan Ji shook his head, "I understood when I crossed the sea to attack Xiamen, weakness is a crime, and weakness is a mistake. That year, we were fourteen, small and weak, but we were dressed in conquest and fought with the heroes on the battlefield. Relative to that circumstance, I am the sin and I am the fault. But if I can survive and become the ultimate victor there, it proves that I am not guilty, I am not wrong! ”

His voice became more and more soothing, his eyes became more and more empty, and in the blur, the memories of when he went south to Fujian appeared in front of his eyes, and vivid pictures came one after another.

The clearest memory is always in front of the valley at the bottom of the hill at that time, when he was in a half-point leader of more than 40 horsemen, and was confronting hundreds of Zheng army elite soldiers on the ground in front of the valley, but the banner of Zheng Jun suddenly appeared behind him, and the Manchurian horse team was slightly shaken.

At that time, as soon as he rode out of the ranks, he suddenly lifted the reins and urged his horse, and he crashed into the enemy's formation......

He was only fourteen years old at the time, he was small and weak, and hundreds of Zheng soldiers in front of him were waiting for him, and he didn't chase and kill the rout, how many did he kill?

At that time, Yuan Ji had a pointed steel helmet on his head, and his body was a silk cotton wool steel iron armor inlaid with yellow flag vests, which was a cavalry iron armor with fireproof arrows, not a heavy armor worn by Manchurian melee white soldiers.

White soldiers, that is, white swing teeth, Manchuria a Niu Lu 300 households can produce a maximum of 100 soldiers, of which up to ten white swing teeth, usually serve as a personal soldier, wartime or with the leader, or by the staff to gather troops, hidden movement in front of the battle, short assault, melee group charge, all heavy armor.

The front row of Zheng Bing's 100-man team is a double-knife daredevil, with two shield soldiers who cover the arrows and large round shields, and the latter card is an iron man wearing an iron hat and a half-covered iron armor, holding an iron gun, and there are fire guns in the back row.

is facing the arrow, slowly approaching.

Zheng Bing's first row covers the arrows and stagnates the horses, the second row is the melee armor, and it can also be used to prevent blunt weapons, and the third row will come twice again, as long as Zheng Bing does not retreat, Yuan Ji will fall into it, and he will never be lucky.

There was no Zheng Jun who suddenly appeared behind him, and Yuan Ji's half-point leader shot ten rounds, got on the horse and retreated, and the long-distance return arm strength was that Zheng Jun could leave dozens of dead and wounded without being injured.

The Ditang knife is armorless, one arrow at a time, and it has been shot down like a firecracker.

After pulling back and coming back, and then dismounting and shooting, Zheng Jun will circulate in turn if it does not collapse, and if it collapses, he will drive the sheep with his tail.

When the Zheng army was defeated and couldn't run, whether to kill it on the spot or let him tie his own hands, tie them to the back of his horse and pull them back to the camp, and feel free to do so.

Anyway, more than 40 Manchurian cavalry encountered more than 300 Zheng army infantry, so that the latter could not return their hands and could not escape.

However, the terrain is not right.

Fujian is mountainous, and everyone didn't think about the problem of being blocked behind them.

As soon as he found a sentry Zheng Jun behind him, and then looked at the surrounding hills and valleys, Yuan Ji abandoned his bow and got on his horse without saying a word, jumped on his horse and raised his sword, and rushed away.

If you don't rush, you can't do it!

The Manchurian stunt horse archery is not a Mongolian-style horse shooting, nor a cavalry charge, but a mid-range and close-range foot shooting from dismounting.

Arrows shoot at the door, and they are the least afraid to shoot at people.

The Eight Forces Composite Bow of the Eight Banners can shoot through leather armor or cotton armor at 100 meters, and it must be within 45 meters to shoot through the homogeneous composite armor of cotton sandwich steel, which is 30 lunges.

The minimum hit rate required for the mounted shooting of the Manchurian Eight Banners is 30 steps and 45 meters to break the armor to meet the standard.

The effective range of modern pistols is 50 meters, while the Ming army's guns are less than 100 meters.

can shoot from a distance of 100 meters, and the Eight Banners Infantry Shot can still accurately shoot the Ming army's gunners.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria made the bow the elite, and the advantage over the firecrackers was overwhelming.
