Chapter 205: Meritorious Service Deserves Reward! Don't give it lightly!

Although he was accustomed to hearing the hymn of the mountain shouting long live in the last dynasty and various celebrations, Emperor Hongzhi, as the son of the emperor, did not review the army. At this moment, after receiving the kneeling and saluting of these hundreds of neat and neat young soldiers, he couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard the voice of this voice, which was very different from that of the civil and military officials, and his face showed a flush of excitement.

As an emperor, there is no one who does not want to make contributions, not to mention that he is still young now. However, just a few years ago, Miao Kui, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, supervised the army, and the general Baoguo Gong Zhu Hui sent troops to Yansui to report the victory, he was excited when he heard the news, and he also wanted to send a large army to the north, but Liu Daxia said that it cost more than 100,000 taels of military expenses but only captured a few women and children, and it was already a fluke for the whole division to return. However, from the bottom of his heart, how could he not be haunted by this?

Therefore, although there are only hundreds of young troops in front of him, and they are all half-grown teenagers, there is still a distance from the real male division in his imagination, but he can have such a military appearance in three months, how can it not make him very excited? Under the agitation of the mood, he actually stood up by pressing the handrail, and he didn't need those eunuchs, so he shouted with full luck: "Let's all be flat!" ”

Ma Qiao also knelt down just now, and at this time he heard this voice vaguely not like those eunuchs with special voices, he couldn't help but quietly glance up when he got up, and saw a man wearing a sable coat about thirty-five or six standing there, and the others behind him all bowed their heads slightly to show respect, and he couldn't help but feel that his heart was beating wildly.

Is it today...... God, it's the day when you speak for yourself!

Not only did Ma Qiao take a peek, but many of the young soldiers below also found clues, and they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves. In the three months of training, they have endured a lot of hardships, and the lessons have been imprinted in their hearts, and their minds are quite clear. Especially when the Son of Heaven on the high platform sat back, they all hung their heads.

"The military appearance is really neat, after three months of training, let's practice!"

As soon as the initial excitement passed, Emperor Hongzhi woke up to the fact that there were ministers below, and he had just lost his temper, so after sitting down, he gave a faint order. Seeing that the Qianqing Palace on the side promised Sun Hongchuan and the celebrant to seal Xiao Jing, and Xiao Jing passed it on to the clerical officer, he bowed his head and responded loudly, so he leaned on the wide circle chair and pondered, suddenly glanced to the side, and was stunned when he found that it was empty.

Zhu Houzhao said that he likes to join in the fun, and Xiyuan used to soak here almost every afternoon, at this critical moment, where did this little guy go?

Emperor Hongzhi was puzzled, and immediately pushed the handrail to stand up again, but at this time, the young soldiers below suddenly scattered in all directions, followed by the sound of horses' hooves galloping from far and near. When he saw the person carried by the horse, Rao was his son of heaven for many years, and his joy and anger could often be hidden and suppressed in front of the courtiers, which was also terrifying at this time.

What kind of fame is this Zhu Houzhao!

As the crown prince, Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't know that his father was clenching his fists and was shocked and angry, he only felt that his horse galloping into the field was really in the spotlight, and he was even more excited for a while.

His equestrian skills were trained from secretly riding horses in Xiyuan a few years ago, and he was much more proficient than Xu Xun, who had only been assaulting for a few months. At this moment, he saw that several young soldiers had set up targets in the south, and he actually kicked the stirrups with both feet, clamped the belly of the horse with his legs, and just took his bow and wound the arrows, and shot them out with a whoosh. At this moment, the people who recognized Zhu Houzhao were of course stunned, and those who didn't know Zhu Houzhao were also stunned, plus the emperor and a group of eunuchs on the high platform, under the eyes of everyone, the arrow that was off the string snapped, and it actually hit a target fifty paces away - although it did not hit the red heart, it was already quite good.

"Hey, hit!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his fist vigorously with joy, and as the horse rushed out for a while, he turned the horse's head back, and when he reached the high platform, he jumped off the horse neatly, and stepped up the stairs in front of all the officials. At this moment, those who had not seen this prince couldn't help but look at each other, and it was not them who were more surprised, but Wang Shouren, who was leading the horse on the sidelines.

"Brother Xu, what's going on?"

What's going on...... Of course, this little guy is not happy to pretend to be the son of Shouning Hou anymore!

Xu Xun shook his head helplessly, then turned his head to look at Wang Shouren and said, "Brother Wang, you are really an honest person." ”

Honest people?

Before Wang Shouren could react, he saw that Xu Xun had already jumped on horseback and entered the field. For a while, he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly turned over and chased after him. The two entered the inner school field one after the other, and after seeing each other in front of the high platform, Xu Xun went straight to the drum stand on the side, picked up the drumstick and knocked it three times in a row. For a while, the young army that had just given way to Zhu Houzhao surged over like a tide, but they were once again lined up into five phalanxes.

In this training, Xu Xun spent two whole months training the queues of these young soldiers, and integrated all the commands to turn right and left into the drum beat. At this moment, when the bystanders saw him hit the drumsticks heavily, they commanded the young army to turn left or right or march in unison, and the officials who had never seen such a method were greatly astonished. Although it was not a marching battle, anyone with some insight knew how difficult it was to knead a group of loose sand like this in just three months.

After a few drum beats, Xu Xun's drums suddenly became faster, and with the more and more rapid sound, I saw that starting from the first column of the first phalanx, a team of people fell straight to the ground one by one after killing the words; The second phalanx starts from the first column, and the left and right teams practice grappling with each other; The third-party array is the front row that constantly divides people into the back row, and must be lined up in a triangular formation; The fourth and fifth phalanxes are transformed into fan-shaped phalanxes in a moment. At this time, Xu Xun glanced back at Wang Shouren, and saw that he had gone straight to the high platform opposite the drum rack, which only allowed one person to go up and down, and he was relieved.

The queue in the first two months was a little bit of what he taught to those hundred general flags and small flags, and these officers taught the young army below, and the last month's training was all Wang Shouren's handwriting. Sure enough, I saw that the head of the military department who had gone up to the high platform picked up a red flag and waved it, and the five phalanxes below suddenly merged with each other, and the rattan cards that the people in the front row had carried on their bodies before were all untied and held in their hands, which was a shield wall.

Phalanx, circle, geese...... With the change of Wang Shouren's banner, the military formation of hundreds of people below is constantly evolving, although there are occasional mistakes, but in general it is quite considerable, even a few nobles who have led soldiers are slightly different at this time, not to mention others who have never seen military training. And Zhu Houzhao on the high platform looked at his eyebrows and danced, with a face full of honor.

After less than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of young troops were scattered again on both sides, and then someone stepped forward to place the target. At this time, the eunuchs who had just been stunned because of Zhu Houzhao's entry did not dare to relax so much, and stood in two rows in front of the Son of Heaven. ”

Little Ancestor, this is not because I am afraid that they will not be accurate, but because I am afraid that they will be too accurate and try to assassinate them!

Although Sun Hong's face turned a little pale with fright, when the archers came forward, all of them turned their backs to the Son of Heaven and fired arrows at the target one after another, he was a lot more relieved. And when the ten people in this side of the box finished shooting one by one, and there were ten young soldiers in the side of the box holding arrows full of arrows to the high platform and kneeling down on one knee after raising their heads high, Sun Hong hurriedly stepped forward again, and after scanning them one by one, he quickly retreated.

"Long live Lord, there are about six or seven arrows on each arrow target, and the accuracy is very good."

"Good, good!"

Emperor Hongji nodded with satisfaction, and did not give a reward lightly. Even so, the two good words of Chrysostom still made the ten archers who had practiced bows since childhood, but only now had a chance to show their talents, were overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around and kowtowed after putting down their bows and arrows. After the ten archers retreated, there were ten knife players, and after the ten knife players, there were ten gunners, and after the demonstration, there were thirty people who cooperated with each other, and this set of thirty small formations that Wang Shouren personally studied compared to the general large array just now, but it was more skillful and neat, and in the end, Shouning Hou Zhang Heling Suo was the first to take the lead and shout good. Even if there were few responders, even if many officials didn't say it on their faces, they were already active in their hearts, and even Liu Jian nodded slightly.

Therefore, when Xu Xun and Wang Shouren finally saluted again in front of the high platform with a few officers, the court officials saw that Emperor Hongzhi had summoned Xu Xun and Wang Shouren to the high platform, although they whispered, but it was not easy to say anything after such a training that was far more successful than expected. When there was another eunuch order over there, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia, and Dai Shan were all invited, and all the officials were determined.

Even if Shou Ninghou is so pro-noble, when it comes to major matters, it is not as good as those big guys, let alone the fledgling young boy?

"Xu Xun, Wang Shouren, it's a good practice today! The two of you have worked hard for the past three months, and the prince said that he would have words when he came back, and I already knew everything. Seeing Wang Shouren looking at Zhu Houzhao dumbfounded, Emperor Hongzhi just didn't see it, and said with a smile, "If you have a punishment, you should be rewarded for your merits, and I will give you two flying fish suits each!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ma Wensheng suddenly said [***]: "Your Majesty, there is a system in the court, and python clothes and flying fish should not be given lightly. This training is their duty, if it is given, then China and foreign countries do not take python clothes and flying fish as precious, for fear of losing the national body, please give silk and gold and silver. Besides, the military formation is neat, but the real fight is not good, and it is not really a great success. ”

"Ahem!" Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, and Zhu Houzhao unabashedly elongated his face, Li Dongyang had to pretend to be choked by the cold wind and coughed a little, interrupting Ma Wensheng, who was talking without looking at the occasion at all, and then confessed with some trepidation, but gently and skillfully diverted the topic and said, "Speaking of which, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's appearance today is really amazing, which is really impressive to Weichen!" ”

"Of course, don't look at who taught or sparred!"

In front of a few bigwigs who changed color slightly, Zhu Hou didn't look at Ma Wensheng, and immediately salivated and said to Emperor Hongzhi: "Father, I don't know if the military formation is good or not, but there are always so many people who have seen it!" Even if they don't reward them for their hard work in governing the army, they should always reward Wang Shouren for teaching his sons archery, and Xu Xun for his hard work in archery, right? ”
