After Zhu Qizhen finished speaking, he saw the performance of everyone, and realized that his words seemed to be too second, which was simply damaging his image of wisdom and martial arts, so he had to wave his hand stupidly and said: "Okay, since we have all arrived, let's set off and go to the barracks outside the city." Before the words fell, he flew directly on the horse, reined in the horse and ran away, and everyone hurried to follow.

"When did Your Majesty have such riding skills?" Yang Jun couldn't help but whisper to Yang Xin, the third brother who was walking with him. "I wanted to ask you yesterday. I've heard that after Emperor Shizu, except for Emperor Xuanzong, who rode a horse when he was young, Emperor Taishang and his grandfather Emperor Renzong were the same. Otherwise, when the Tumubao changes, ......" At this point, Yang Jun hurriedly stopped, but what was not said later could be understood by anyone.

Yang Xin coughed dryly and whispered: "Your Majesty started to learn riding after falling into the hands of the tile thorn thief, but I heard what Lord Yuan said." Not long after His Majesty was captured, he no longer rode the ox cart that had been given to him before, but insisted on walking, every few miles, and then every twenty or thirty miles, and he did not show any fatigue. Later...... "Yang Xin was quite interested, and while riding a horse, he told Yang Jun and Shi Biao the stories he had learned from Yuan Bin about what had happened to Emperor Taishang since he fell into the tile thief.

Yang Xin's eloquence is quite good, and even the rhetoric and exaggeration of surnames are carried out in many places, although Shi Biao and Yang Jun have also heard it in Jingshi, but those are mostly exaggerated stories after being a storyteller.

And what came out of Yang Xin's mouth was naturally much more true and credible, but it was precisely because of the truth and credibility that they were even more shocked and admired, after the Emperor Taishang was captured, not only did he not give up on himself, but also became more and more strong and fearless, and in the end, he even convinced the people who captured him.

After that, in addition to Xining, he fought wits and courage with the people in power of Nawa Thorn, and finally persuaded the Taishi to also go to Boyan Timur first, and finally thousands of captured soldiers were released to Ming.

Traveling all the way, listening all the way, going out of the city, running for about a quarter of an hour, and then came to the gate of the barracks that was less than ten miles away from Xuanfu.

"Hey, this is ......" When Yang Jun saw the outer wall of this military camp for the first time, he couldn't help but be stunned for a long time and couldn't speak, this military camp, as Yang Jun, who lives in Xuanfu all the year round, is naturally very familiar, he has practiced here for several years, and after that, after the defeat of this barracks in the civil fort, the Tile Spur army had no choice but to take the buildings outside the city to vent their anger, and this kind of barracks was naturally unlucky, and was destroyed by the Tile Thorn people and folded into ruins.

--------------------However, Yang Jun still remembered what this barracks, which could accommodate nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, looked like when it was not demolished, surrounded by walls made of loess, and then the sentry towers and arrow towers built of wood.

But now, what appeared before him was a new façade made of masonry, and the old watchtowers and arrow towers made of trees were gone, and the towers that came into view were all made of brick and stone, sturdy and tall, like giant towers.

"This barracks, after His Majesty the Emperor arrived at the Xuanfu, has been ordered to be rebuilt, and all the projects are personally supervised and controlled by His Majesty, so it can be built in such a short time, although it has not yet been completed, but compared to our past barracks, it is more like an impregnable fortress." That Yang Xin couldn't help but say proudly, speaking of which, at that time, everyone was quite puzzled by Zhu Qizhen's requirements, the barracks, what's the matter, that is, the stationing place of the soldiers, how good is it necessary to tidy up, as in the past, isn't the first base of loess become?

However, Zhu Qizhen insisted on it, and even stated that he did not need to pay a penny of military expenses and taxes in Xuanfu Town, and he paid out of his own pocket, and he used a lot of silver to smash this brand-new military camp out of the ground in the fastest time.

Yang Jun and Shi Biao, who were full of shock and envy, as well as the five hundred sergeants who came with them, finally entered the barracks with Zhu Qizhen and the others.

In the barracks, you can already see many soldiers wearing a more simple and compact military uniform, and marching in a queue on the amazingly large but gray-white flat ground.

This kind of team performance is quite different from the usual performance in the Ming army, advancing and retreating, not with the sound of drums, but with the cheers of a famous chief, sometimes moving forward, sometimes neatly turning in another direction, the team marching and turning, actually not chaotic at all, which makes Yang Jun secretly speechless.

He has been training in Xuanfu with his father for a long time, and the military training of the Ming Dynasty is mostly in the style of military formations, or practicing fighting skills, and for advancing and retreating, the requirements are not very strict, but now looking at it, although these soldiers have no killing spirit, but the strict pace of advancing and retreating, is more than the elite soldiers in the army.

"The formation of the ranks can actually be like this? It's really ...... "If it weren't for the fact that he was still on horseback now, Yang Jun would have the urge to take out the "Soldier's Dictionary" given to him by Zhu Qizhen in his arms to prove it. "I said third brother, these soldiers were picked out by His Majesty from our Xuanfu?"

"Pick?" Hearing this, Yang Xin couldn't help grinning: "These so-called soldiers were actually those eunuchs and eunuchs of the Xuanfu and the generals who served as servants before. After the emperor beheaded those eunuchs, he ordered the Xuanfu to clean up the military households, a total of more than 2,000 military households, so he left this cadre military household in this barracks, willing to be a pawn, can be his own army, unwilling to be a pawn, the emperor allowed the field to produce its farming. The military households felt His Majesty's kindness, except for a few who insisted on returning home and were willing to unload their armor for the people, and after the old and the weak, there were thousands and five military households left. ”

"The reason why this barracks can be built so quickly is that in addition to His Majesty's large amount of money to recruit craftsmen around, these military households have also contributed a lot."

"Wasn't it long before they were training?" That Shi Biao couldn't help but come forward to talk.

"This is natural, but more than a month, for more than a month, Your Majesty has ordered that only practice clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the rest of the military projects are not needed for the time being, so as to have this achievement." Yang Xin couldn't help but be stunned, glanced at Shi Biao and his brother, and saw that the two of them had lost the feeling of looking at each other unpleasantly when escorting the prince's car, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but his face was as usual, and he patiently explained.

"Can you also practice this food, clothing, housing and transportation?" Hearing this, Yang Jun and Shi Biao asked in unison almost at the same time, their eyes widening again.

"This is natural, ashamed to say, in the past, the younger brother also felt that this 'food, clothing, housing and transportation' could be related to military training, but, after the observation of more than a month, the younger brother was also quite eye-opening, I never thought that this food, clothing, housing and transportation, is indeed very useful, what you see now, is just a line." Yang Xin pointed to the soldiers who were playing the pace and said with a smile.

Yang Jun and that Shi Biao couldn't help but glance at each other, they both saw the shock in each other's eyes, how did they not expect that the most basic food, clothing, housing and transportation were actually specially developed by the Emperor Taishang as a means of military training.

-------------------- Zhu Qizhen didn't say much, just took everyone to visit the barracks, and did not disturb the training in the center of the square, and those soldiers also seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, and practiced by themselves, not like in the past, when generals or generals entered the camp, they needed to let the whole army come to salute.

And if a soldier encounters them, they will salute Zhu Qizhen and his party with a etiquette that they have never seen before, and watch the few people standing as straight as green pines, holding their heads high, and saluting Zhu Qizhen with their hands on their helmets.

Let Yang Jun and others can't help but have a little more doubts and puzzles in their hearts, and this way of saluting in the army is not only special, but also not humble or arrogant, quite majestic standing posture, neat movements, not only pleasing to the eye, but also in the heart can not help but rise a little pride and suddenly, always feel that this should be my Ming hero.

And Zhu Qizhen also returned with the same military salute, and the generals behind him also stood up and solemnly saluted these soldiers, such a scene was simply to scorch Yang Jun and Shi Biao to Lei.

I can't imagine that not only these generals of Xuanfu, but even the dignified Emperor Taishang actually saluted a small soldier who didn't even have a high-grade official body, think about it, the dignified Emperor, even the Son of Heaven has to salute when he sees it, it can be said that at least in name, he is the supreme of the Ming Empire.

Throughout the ages, only the inferior will salute the superior to show respect and humility, and the superior is generally the head of the chin to sign, and between officials, between superiors and subordinates, there is often this difference.

But today's move was really too unexpected for them, so that when Yang Xin stretched out his hand to drag them, they realized that they had fallen behind and hurried forward.

"You stinky boy, there are so many new things, why don't you tell me, I'm your big brother! I don't know that the eldest brother is like a father? Yang Jun couldn't help but press his big hand on Yang Xin's shoulder, and whispered a threat with raised eyebrows.

Yang Xin was speechless. "Brother, how can I be blamed for this, do you know or not, everything here is strictly forbidden to be revealed to the outside world. When you entered the barracks, didn't you see outside? ”

"Outside? What the hell is there? Yang Jun couldn't help but roll his eyes after recalling it carefully, thinking that his brother was trying to fool himself at all.
