Chapter 107: The Concept of the Martial Arts Hall (I)
"Fortunately, His Majesty is by his side, and he has been stained with His Majesty's dragon energy, and all five arrows have hit, so I hereby pay an order to Your Majesty!"
Zhao Yunze carried the crossbow on his back, walked to Li Shimin's horse, clasped his fists with both hands, and said to Li Shimin proudly.
"Hahahaha, Peng Yu has opened my eyes today! I have grown up in the army, and I have seen many people with accurate archery, but it is the first time I have seen a person like Peng Yu today, who uses the tail of a feather arrow as a target, and there is no false hair. Li Shimin said happily when he saw the hunt.
After speaking, he changed his tone and said: "I said before that today's martial arts performance, those with superb skills, I will be rewarded. Peng Yu is the first to win people, and his skills are exquisite, and I will reward you with this bow! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Yunze hurriedly took a few steps forward and took Li Shimin's horn bow.
Li Shimin said: "The name of this bow is 'Zhencang', and it has been with me for several years. On top of the battle array, this bow has also made great achievements countless times. I hope you will practice archery diligently in the future, and don't insult the 'Zhencang'. ”
"Keep in mind Your Majesty's teachings, and you will not be disgraced by this bow."
Li Shimin nodded: "Peng Yu and return to his original position, and watch the demeanor of other generals of my Tang Dynasty." ”
"No!" Zhao Yunze hugged his fist at Li Shimin again, held the Zhencang bow in his hand, and walked up the steps.
Zhencang, Zhencang? What kind of broken name, like the stock market, might as well be called "day by day". Zhao Pengyu walked to the side and looked at the Zhencang Bow in his hand, and thought of it maliciously.
Alas, this bow may be a rare treasure in the eyes of others, but to my buddy, it is a hot potato. It seems that I will have to ask Liu Yinghao for advice on the use of bows in the future. Otherwise, if Li Er has a whim one day, he wants to test my bow skills, and he will be blind at that time.
Thinking wildly in his heart, Zhao Yunze walked back to the door of the Xiande Palace.
"Peng Yu, how do you thank the old man?" Du Ruhui looked like a savior and asked Zhao Yunze.
"Hehe, Master Du, I thank your whole family!" Zhao Yunzepi smiled and said with a smile.
"Old man Xie's whole family will be exempted, just take the time to invite the old man to have a drink." Du Ruhui really thought that Zhao Yunze was saying a good thing.
Zhao Yunze: "......"
Alas, if you scold someone, but the person being scolded doesn't know that you are scolding him, is this a sense of superiority, or a sense of superiority or a sense of superiority?
Next, Li Shimin began to arrange for the guards to demonstrate archery, and they took turns shooting arrows in groups of ten. With the ready-made example of Zhao Yunze's treasure bow in front, the generals were even more competitive. Hundreds of generals have been killed, and there are many people who have performed well.
Li Shimin has been sitting upright on the horse, and he is in the middle of the soldiers, watching them shoot arrows, while making comments from time to time, and teaching the soldiers his own experience in archery. When there were generals who performed well, Li Shimin rewarded some knives, bows, cloth and other things on the spot. The generals were greatly inspired.
Cheng Chumo was also arranged by Cheng Yanjin to demonstrate archery, although his performance was mediocre, he was the youngest of the people present today, and for the sake of Cheng Yanjin's face, Li Shimin also rewarded Cheng Chumo with some things. Cheng Chumo was naturally overjoyed.
After all the hundreds of generals demonstrated their archery skills, Li Shimin arranged for the generals in the stands to also be among the generals, communicate with the generals at zero distance, and instruct them in archery.
Li Shimin himself called Zhao Yunze and entered the Hall of Xiande.
The two monarchs and ministers sat opposite each other across the bookcase in the Hall of Virtue. Li Shimin opened his mouth and said, "Peng Yu can see the deep meaning of my move today?" ”
Zhao Yunze replied: "Your Majesty wants to use the mouths of these hundreds of soldiers to convey His Majesty's determination to re-enforce and govern the army to all the soldiers of my Datang Dynasty, right?" ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Peng Yu's guess is right!" As I said outside the palace, although my Tang Dynasty established the country by force, but now the country is poor and weak, and although the soldiers in the army have the will to fight, their combat power is limited. If this continues, it will be difficult to resist the bullying of foreign criminals, and it will be difficult to exterminate all kinds of bandits. The national defense is sluggish, the people are uneasy, and even if I and my courtiers have great plans, it will be difficult to display them. What's more, when I first ascended to the great treasure, the Turks came to my door to deceive me, how could I swallow this evil breath? ”
"Your Majesty is planning to attack the Turks?" Zhao Yunze guessed.
Li Shimin nodded again, and his eyes became fierce: "I plan to use three years to reorganize the army. Three years later, extinguish this eclipse! ”
Zhao Yunze recalled that in the original history, the Tang Dynasty used troops against the 'Eastern' Turks at the end of the third year of Zhenguan. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the 'Eastern' Turks were overthrown, and Jieli Khan was also captured by Li Jing to Chang'an. It turned out that Li Shimin was already thinking about revenge at this time.
"Your Majesty is not humble as a soldier, but with the dignity of the Ninety-Five, he personally inspires the Tang Dynasty soldiers to practice martial arts, which will definitely inspire the morale of the army. If there are three years to prepare, the end of the Turks is just around the corner! Zhao Yunze patted Li Shimin's ass and said with an oath.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "I didn't call you here to hear you praise me. ”
Gotcha, buddy slapped the horse's hooves.
"What does Your Majesty have to say to your ministers?" Zhao Yunze hurriedly asked.
"After the completion of the arsenal, Peng Yu must do his best to make more sharp weapons for my Tang soldiers. In this way, the confidence in the destruction of the Turks is also stronger. Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will live up to Your Majesty's trust."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I have summoned you here today, not just for the sake of the arsenal. I have one more important thing to inform you in advance, so that you can prepare in advance. ”
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"I intend to practice like this for a long time. At least half an hour a day, in the Xiande Palace, I and the generals took turns to instruct the martial arts of each guard. Li Shimin said, "I'm thinking, after the arsenal is opened, you will also take time out every day to show virtue in the palace and teach your new-style queue drill to the guards and generals." Then they pushed the new parade drill to the whole army. ”
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that you should first read a full set of new-style queue drill codes, and then promote it to the whole army if you are satisfied, why is it so rushed?" Zhao Yunze asked puzzled.
Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "I said that sentence just because I was in front of them in front of the auxiliary machine that day, so I pretended to be cautious. The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. I have been in the army for more than ten years, whether your set of queue drills is good or bad, I can see the whole leopard. Today's notification to you is not to immediately promote the new queue drill code, but to let you know in your heart and prepare early. ”
It was only at this time that Zhao Yunze understood Li Shimin's intention of deliberately highlighting himself when he was outside the hall, and he was clearly making those generals pay attention to him, so that he could serve as the queue instructor of these generals in the future.
"The minister understands His Majesty's intentions, and the minister will live up to His Majesty's trust." Zhao Yunze arched his hand and said.
