"Your subordinates?" Du Yu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand why Meng Yan would give him a step down.

"Qingfang!"

"In!"

"Come up!"

Hua Qingfang stepped on the steps with her head held high, and walked up towards the Dianjiang platform, although she was young and immature, she looked extraordinary, and she had the strength of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

"Under the command of the Qincha Datong Patrol Envoy, the patrol brigade of the Jinyi Guard Patrol Division Xiaoqihua Qingfang sees Zhu Dashuai and the generals!"

A small flag, it's just a small flag.

"Hua Xiaoqi, when did you join Jinyiwei?" Zhu Mian asked in a deep voice.

"It's been three months!"

"It's only been three months, who taught you archery?"

"The villain is a hunting technique, archery is learned from my father, after entering the Jinyi Guard, Lord Meng Meng personally pointed at it." Hua Qingfang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Do you think your archery skills are better than Master Meng?"

"My archery skills are less than one-ten-thousandth of that of my family!"

"One in 10,000, you dare to test archery with my men?" Zhu Mian pointed at Du Yu and said, "Do you know that General Du Yu standing in front of you has the title of King of Arrows in my Datong border army." ”

"No archer is always invincible, this is what my family taught me." Hua Qingfang said.

"Okay, that's a good point, no archer is always undefeated, Hua Qingfang, are you willing to fight for your Lord Meng?"

"Mark yes!"

"Du Yu, what about you?"

"The last general is willing!" Du Yu gritted his teeth and agreed, this battle is related to his reputation, if he wins, he has nothing to lose, but if he loses, then his position in the Datong border army will plummet.

He couldn't be defeated. But you can't refuse.

"Dashuai, the archery competition doesn't have to be life-threatening, how about the next official construction yì Wenbi?" Meng Yan built yì road.

"Wenbi, good, how to compare?" Zhu Mian nodded, if the two really let each other with archery. It is inevitable that there will be casualties, one is a general of the border army, and the other is a young talent in the future, which injury is a loss for the imperial court.

"Fifty steps, one hundred steps, fixed targets and moving targets!"

"Mounted archery, it's the same, each person has ten arrows per round, how about the total number of targets in the end?"

"Good. This method can not only produce strength, but also not hurt the peace, Ben Shuai agreed! "Zhu Mian has decided.

"Dashuai, is this competition now or after the gymnastics?" Fang Zheng asked.

"Master Meng, what do you think?"

"The border army will drill is a big deal, how can the subordinate not understand this truth." Meng Yan Road.

"Okay, then we'll it later."

To be honest, it was the first time Meng Yan had seen a large-scale drill of the Ming army. Before, on the steppe, the most I saw was only the drill of the cavalry. But that kind of exercise is only in memory, and there are very few real feelings.

The Ming army was the most regular and elite army of this era, not only with all kinds of troops, but also with the most sophisticated equipment.

The armies of those countries in Europe, in terms of size. In terms of pretense, it is at least two hundred years behind.

Come to think of it, the battle of a few thousand people in Europe is already a large-scale war, but in the Ming Dynasty, this is at best a small conflict on the border.

The drums of war are thundering!

Command the flag to wave. The phalanxes moved rapidly, and the dust on the school field suddenly flew up.

Thousands of border soldiers ran rapidly, constantly changing formations, and the speed was dizzying.

I really admire the ancients in this regard, the cultural level of the soldiers is not high, and it is not easy to do this.

"Master Meng, what do you think of me, the Datong border army?" Zhu Mian couldn't help but ask a little proudly.

"Mighty Commander!"

Zhu Mian smiled slightly, and said in his heart, you little Meng Qincha is still quite sensible.

It is impossible for tens of thousands of troops of the border army to be stationed together, and they usually train by themselves, but when it comes to the time of the big war, tens of thousands of people are gathered, and if the cooperation is not good, it will be defeated.

Therefore, all departments must carry out cooperative drills every year, and this is the purpose of the drill, otherwise everyone will go their own way, start a war, and come by temperament, and not be broken by the enemy?

Cover, attack, pierce......

All these things need to be pulled out and tested, and although the combat effectiveness of various units may not be fully reflected in the exercise, some can be seen.

According to the situation of the exercise, the commander can learn about the training and combat effectiveness of his troops, so that they can be used rationally in war.

Commanders, on the other hand, should be familiar with the situation of other departments, cooperate with each other in battle, and know themselves and their opponents.

Meng Yan was not familiar with the border army, but this was a good opportunity, and he stared intently at each of the teams shuttling on the school ground, noting their flags.

Defend, lure the enemy, cover the kill......

The herald rode the flag and waved it non-stop, conveying the orders issued by the commander back and forth, and Meng Yan had also seen the Tatar generals commanding the drill, and the situation was similar to the one in front of him.

One day, if you can command thousands of troops and horses, what will it be like?

Every man has such a dream in his heart, but it is difficult to say whether it can be realized, and he undoubtedly has this opportunity.

Meng Yan felt that the blood flowing in his body had a burning feeling.

The first time I see such a scene, I am afraid that there is no one who does not feel a trace of blood boiling, men have a belligerent factor in their bodies, and war is an ultimate way to release the combat factors in their bodies.

The general died in a hundred battles, and the horse leather shroud was returned! (This is not a poem, so don't dwell on whether the author is an idiot or not.) ）

This tells a kind of spirit, a feeling, a kind of man's home!

Stop!

Mingjin withdraws the troops, the drill is complete!

I haven't thought so, this morning's time has passed, the soldiers who participated in the drill were taken down to eat and rest, and there were various competitions in the afternoon, if they could get a ranking in the competition, they would not only have rich rewards, but even get promoted directly.

Every time there is a drill, there will be some vacant positions coming out as a reward, and the winner can get a promotion.

This is also one of the few promotion channels for many ordinary soldiers in addition to their combat exploits, and the competition is very fierce.

From a soldier to an officer, this step is too difficult, and it is estimated that it is even more difficult than the civil service examination in later generations. Hundreds of people fight for a small flag, dozens of people fight for a general flag, and a dozen people fight for a hundred households.

They are not only earning for themselves, but also fighting for their descendants, even if it is a downgrade to inherit. That's better than starting from the bottom.

"Lord Meng, Ben Shuai prepared a little wine and food in the tent, and asked Lord Meng to appreciate it."

"How dare the lower officials disobey."

"Please!"

"The subordinate ...... of the lower officer"

"Don't worry, Master Meng, someone will arrange it."

"Lord Meng, please!"

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the marshal, the lower official is seriously injured, and if he drinks alcohol, I'm afraid it will affect it." Meng Yan declined.

"Oh, it's Ben Shuai who was negligent!" Zhu Mian was not dissatisfied, and he was injured and could not drink. It's common sense.

"Give Xia Guan a cup of tea, Xia Guan will replace the wine with tea!"

Zhu Mian waved his hand, and a cup of hot tea was sent into the tent.

"Lord Meng, Ben Shuai wants to apologize to you, under Ben Shuai's rule, he almost caused an accident to Lord Meng." Zhu Mian raised his glass and said, "This glass of wine can be regarded as an apology to you!" ”

"The big handsome man is serious. This kind of thing happens a lot at the border. Meng Yan said busily.

"Lord Meng, a young hero, is valued by the Holy Master. Investigating and handling big cases, although Ben Shuai is at the border, he has already heard about it, and Ben Shuai has also paid attention to Tang Yushi's case, but he is not Ben Shuai's subordinate. Ben Shuai is not easy to meddle casually. Zhu Mian said.

"Before the Tang Yushi case, he had written to the imperial court many times to impeach Guo Jing, but most of these folds were detained, what did they say. I'm afraid no one knows. Meng Yan said.

"This handsome person is not clear, does Master Meng have a clue?"

"At present, Master Tang's crime is undoubted, but there are many suspicious points, and the lower officials are investigating." Meng Yan said cautiously, although Zhu Mian's attitude was good, he knew that people knew their faces but did not know their hearts, and it was impossible for him to believe the other party at once.

Little fox.

Zhu Mian has already defined Meng Yan, this kid is really not easy to deal with, it's like this, and his tone is still so tight.

"Handsome ......"

"Mr. Mu?" Seeing that it was Mr. Mu, Zhu Mian didn't have a seizure, if someone else disturbed him at this time, he would have blasted out a long time ago.

"Handsome ......" Mr. Mu walked to Zhu Mian's side, leaned down and whispered in Zhu Mian's ear.

"What?" Zhu Mian is such a border coach, and a veteran of the battlefield who did not change color before the collapse of Mount Tai, but he actually changed color.

Meng Yan chuckled in his heart, although he didn't hear clearly what Mr. Mu said to Zhu Mian, but he heard two key words, one was "Yanguilou", and the other was "attack"!

Someone attacked the Yangui Tower!

Meng Yan stood up suddenly, he understood, he had fallen for the opponent's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the opponent was not going for him, but for Princess Minghui!

Who has to get Princess Minghui?

Only the Varat Mission, Na Richi!

"Dashuai, the lower official may have to go first!" Meng Yan solemnly clenched his fists and bowed his body.

"Master Meng, don't worry, listen to Ben Shuai first, it's useless for you to go back now, isn't it?" Zhu Mian stopped Meng Yan.

Meng Yan nodded, his face was a little gloomy, and after thinking about it, he was calculating others, why weren't others calculating themselves?

People count people, people always count, and the important thing is who can have the last laugh.

What he wanted to know most now was how safe Princess Minghui and Guo Yue and the others were, which was why he was in a hurry to go back.

He was even more glad that Guo Xiaochao took the initiative to stay today, otherwise he wouldn't have paid attention to Zhu Mian at the moment.

"Dashuai, this is what happened in Datong City, the nature is too bad, if there is no explanation, the lower officials will never give up!" Meng Yan's attitude is very clear, and he will never spare the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Lord Meng is angry, Ben Shuai will give you an explanation for this matter." Zhu Mian hurriedly reassured.

"Lord Meng, this matter definitely has nothing to do with the handsome, but it is not related to the people below, and we have to investigate, Lord Meng will give us a little time?" Mr. Mu spoke.

"Okay, the lower official still believes in the big handsome, if the big boss can't do it, the lower official can do it for him." Meng Yan flicked his sleeves, "The official said goodbye." ”

"Master Meng, that afternoon's archery competition?"

"Don't worry, the lower officials will come back, and my people will stay." Hurried away, leaving only the sound of footsteps. (To be continued......)
