Early the next morning, the Wanli Emperor rushed to the palace to participate in the military parade - it seems that the emperor really wants to collect Guocheng's little sparrows.

Guocheng gathered one hundred and fourteen Jinyi guards, and with a "lineup", Jinyi guards immediately stood in two phalanxes, each with 8 rows and 7 columns, and the general flag Wu Huping and Chen Guoqi stood at the front of each phalanx respectively, in a single line. From the front, you can only see 7 straight lines, from the side, you can only see 8 straight lines, Wanli Huangli can't help but secretly praise, this Guocheng training has a set, just look at the soldier's position can see that Guocheng uses soldiers like an arm. How did he know that Guocheng came from later generations, was used to seeing the National Day military parade, and knew that a neat queue could brighten the eyes of the blind, so at the beginning of the training, he had very strict requirements for their standing and marching.

Emperor Wanli counted the number of people for a long time and said, "Guocheng, do you have a name for this array?" ”

"Formation?" Guo Cheng said, "I don't believe that. What is the one-word long snake array, how can the goose stacking array, gossip array, and ** array be so powerful, but it is just an exaggeration of romance novels. When the two armies face each other, wisdom, calmness and courage are the decisive factors. ”

Guocheng shook his head honestly, meaning that this was not a formation.

Emperor Wanli smiled and said: "I'll give you a name, this array is called the horizontal seven vertical eight array." You see seven soldiers in a horizontal row and eight soldiers in a vertical row, haha......"

Guocheng looked at the team, seven people in a horizontal row, eight people in a vertical column, hey, it's really horizontal, I knew that I would recruit sixty-four people, see how you laugh at me.

After the renovation of Guocheng, the building of Guofu has basically been bulldozed, and a large playground has been rebuilt, and a huge circular runway has been laid in the middle of the playground, and the parade platform is on one side of the circular runway. Guocheng asked Emperor Wanli and Zhu Youzhen to stand on the parade platform to watch, and he stood in the center of the playground, holding the red, white and blue tricolor flag in his hand.

Guocheng red flag waved down, the Jinyi guard queue advanced, there was no other sound on the scene, only the "click" of the armor rubbing sound, and then look at the team, horizontal and vertical are not chaotic, the rhythm is neat.

Wanli sighed: "It's really a team like swallowing mountains." If the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are like this, then can our Tartars in the north of the Ming Dynasty still be arrogant? ”

When the Jinyiwei phalanx was about to walk to the parade platform, Guocheng waved the white flag upward, and the footsteps of the Jinyiwei changed to move forward in a positive step, and the whole audience resounded with the neat footsteps of "popping". The recruits turned their heads slightly to the left, their eyes looked at the parade platform, and they shouted the slogan neatly in their mouths: "Train hard, protect the emperor and defend the Ming!" Train hard to protect the emperor and defend the Ming! ”

Wanli's mouth was open enough to fit an egg. This kind of pace fully reflects the majesty and majesty of the soldiers, and makes people feel the overwhelming momentum and invincible spirit of the Jinyi guard.

The phalanx left the parade platform, the Guocheng Red Flag stopped waving, the footsteps of "popping" disappeared, and the sound of "clanging" clothes and armor rubbing sounded again.

Wanli sighed: "Decades ago, I once watched the 'Qi Family Army' drill, and I thought it was the first iron army in the world. The flowers bloom and fall in spring for several degrees, and now the reputation of the world's number one is about to fall on the body of the 'national army'. ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Brother Guocheng said that the recruits of the Jinyi Guard are now capable of dealing with ordinary enemies, but if they want to deal with strong enemies, I am afraid they will have to go through three to four years of training." ”

Wanli looked at Zhu Youzhen suspiciously and asked, "Brother Guocheng?" ”

Zhu Youzhen shouted the words "Brother Guocheng" just now, and he was already nervous in his heart, and when he heard Wanli's question, his face turned white at once, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "This is what I shouted nonsense, and it has nothing to do with Brother Guocheng." ”

made a mistake in his busyness, and Zhu Youzhen shouted "Brother Guocheng" again.

Wanli picked up Zhu Youzhen and said, "Forget it, when I was a child, I also hoped that an elder brother could help me and take care of me, but unfortunately I didn't meet someone like Guocheng at that time." But you have to be careful, don't let those imperial historians hear it, or you'll have to make a noise again. ”

Lu Shou followed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Guocheng had received the weight of the dragon's grace, if he had met not the emperor's grandson, but the crown prince or grandson, a new star would rise again. I heard that Guocheng and Taisun have a good relationship, and Taisun often goes to the children's park to play these days, if he changes to his court, the future is limitless. However, Guocheng seems to be a bit stupid and loyal, and it is unlikely that he will betray Zhu Youzhen, alas, it is a pity that he is talented.

Guocheng was training the new army wholeheartedly and did not notice a scene on the parade platform. The recruits walked into the shooting range, Guocheng waved the blue flag, the soldiers of the first three rows pulled their bows and released arrows, and the arrows flew towards the target like a wind, and then quickly retreated, and the soldiers of the middle three rows stepped forward, and there was another wave of arrow rain, and then the three lines of soldiers retreated, and the soldiers of the last two lines advanced, and then there was another wave of arrow rain. At this time, the soldiers of the first three lines had already prepared their bows and arrows, and they came forward with a rain of arrows...... In this cycle, the blue flag of Guocheng waved, and the soldiers collected their bows and returned to the camp. A group of soldiers picked up the target and sent it to the parade platform.

Emperor Wanli saw that each target was covered with dense arrows.

Wanli said: "Aiqing has a good way of training, the recruits you bring are mentally skilled, lined up, and shot well, which is really a rare iron army." If you're older, even if you're seven or eight years older, I'd like to let you go to the military department to exercise. ”

Guocheng said: "Weichen doesn't want to be prosperous and rich, he only wants to follow His Royal Highness the emperor and grandson to guard the safety of the emperor and grandson." ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Brother Guocheng and I are good friends, and the emperor's grandfather is not interested in poaching." ”

Wanli smiled and said, "Okay, okay." Don't poach your friends, okay. By the way, Guocheng, why did you let the soldiers shoot in three sections, instead of shooting arrows in one salvo? ”

Guocheng said: "In Weichen's vision, this recruit is an all-firearms unit. It takes time to reload ammunition, it takes time for the barrel to cool down, it takes time to ignite the lead, and if you shoot it at once, I am afraid that you will not be able to cope with the enemy's counterattack. The three-stage shooting can maintain the continuity of the shot, so that the enemy cannot counterattack and reduce the casualties of your own side. Now there is a shortage of firearms, and it is temporarily impossible to equip the whole army, so bows and crossbows are used instead. But I think the principle is the same, after fifteen to twenty arrows, a good crossbow will be exhausted and unable to shoot again. The three-stage shot allows the crossbowman to shoot at least thirty to forty arrows before he gets tired. ”

Wanli nodded and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, Guocheng, you haven't been to the battlefield, how can you be so familiar with war?" ”

Guo Cheng said: "Am I going to sue you, I got the knowledge from watching TV?" But his mouth said: "This is what Weichen has learned from reading books." ”

Wanli said with a smile: "I am very satisfied with this military parade, the little sparrow will be temporarily fostered on you, and when I think of a new way, I will cut it off." Hehe, you have to be careful."

Guocheng covered his crotch and cried and laughed, why haven't you forgotten this stubble.
