For this day, Xu Shiqiu prepared for a long time, and did not go home for two consecutive nights, but lived in the barracks with his soldiers.

Although Dong Shu was anxious, she couldn't go to watch.

Not only her, but also Queen Hu, there is no way to go to the barracks to watch.

Because there are rules in the barracks, women are not allowed to enter.

Originally, there was such a military rule, which was to prevent soldiers from being greedy for prostitution. But now it has become a reason to prevent all women from entering the barracks.

In addition to King Duan, Ye Jingxing and Ye Jinghui, the seventh prince, who accompanied Rui Kangdi to the military camp this year, also had this honor.

As for the third prince and the sixth prince, one was tidying up the housework at home, and the other was habitually forgotten by Ruikangdi.

is Ye Jingxing and Ye Jinghui, Ruikandi also thinks that he brought Ye Jingxing out because his son is here, but Ye Jinghui came with him completely because he was coquettish.

The remaining princes who were still young had no existence in front of Rui Kangdi, and their biological mother's position was almost low, so naturally they had no chance to see Rui Kangdi and follow him out of the palace.

In order to come to see the recruits trained by Xu Shiqiu, Rui Kangdi specially handled the matter in hand two days in advance, and took his younger brother, two sons and a few henchmen out of the capital early this morning.

At the same time as Rui Kang Di set off, Ye Jingxing also asked his henchmen to send a message to Xu Shiqiu, so when Rui Kang Di thought he had come secretly, in fact, Xu Shiqiu had been waiting for him for a long time.

The new army was about 1,500 people, and in addition to the 500 auxiliaries, 500 of the remaining 1,000 people were organized into the elite Iron Eagle Brigade, which was taken from the Iron Eagle Guards of the Qin State.

The soldiers of this brigade must not only learn the art of ordinary combat, but also practice equestrianism, and be as proficient in horse combat as as infantry combat, and be qualified to use any weapon.

The current Iron Eagle Brigade is actually not qualified in Xu Shiqiu's eyes, although it has taken three months, it still takes a lot of thought to train them like the Iron Eagle Guards of the Qin State.

And the Iron Eagle Guards are the elite of a hundred battles, but the Iron Eagle Brigade in his hands has not experienced any war.

According to Xu Shiqiu's budget, it would be good for these 500 people to leave 400 people after several battles, but he himself knew that it was impossible.

If you want to reach the Iron Eagle Guard, I am afraid that it will be impossible without a few years, even if there are no hundred battles for him to play now, there must be at least seventy or eighty battles, so that it can barely be truly called the Iron Eagle Brigade.

After Xu Shiqiu saw Ruikangdi, he informed Ruikangdi of his thoughts.

He doesn't want to be a general who stays in the capital safely, he wants to go to the battlefield, he wants to go into battle to kill the enemy, and the soldiers under him also need to train themselves through the battlefield.

Rui Kangdi had never led troops, and although he knew that there was such a title as the Iron Eagle Guard, he didn't understand what an elite of a hundred battles like the Iron Eagle Guardian meant to a general.

But Duan Wang Ye understands.

"Brother Huang, if there really is such an army in our dynasty, then the frontier will be worry-free." After Duan Wang looked at Rui Kangdi with an excited expression After saying this, he thought for a while and continued: "Brother Huang, I am old and no longer have the courage I had at the beginning. But Shi Qiu has it, and he also started to work hard. The royal brother should give him this opportunity. ”

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect King Duan to help him speak, because of the previous military power, in fact, Xu Shiqiu understood that his sister-in-law resented him.

After all, King Duan is the father of his sister-in-law, and King Duan's children and grandchildren do not have good soldiers, which may be because King Duan's children and grandchildren have not inherited his bravery, of course, it cannot be ruled out that King Duan deliberately did not raise his children and grandchildren.

Everyone in the world knows that military generals will have sacrifices, not to mention, now he is Ruikangdi's own brother, so he is deeply trusted by Ruikangdi.

But what about the future?

His children and grandchildren and the next generation of emperors who will ascend the throne in the future are just cousins, and the bloodline will be even weaker after that.

Xu Shiqiu understood that King Duan was a person who understood, so he slowly returned all the military power to Rui Kangdi when he was still alive.

In this way, with the affection between himself and Ruikangdi's own brothers, he will be gone in the future, and his children and grandchildren will be able to live in peace as long as they do not rebel.

But King Duan's grandson, Xu Yanhao of the Xu family's house, has liked to practice martial arts since he was a child and wants to be a general.

At the beginning, the sister-in-law hoped that Yan Hao would take over the military power that his father was in charge of, but she didn't expect that he would decide to return to Beijing.

Xu Shiqiu thought so much in his heart, but it didn't take much time, just when he came back to his senses, Rui Kangdi also nodded to King Duan and said: "Shi Qiu is worthy of being the son of Zhenbei, he once said something similar to me at the beginning. ”

Hearing Rui Kangdi mention Xu Zhenbei, King Duan couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking of the picture of himself and Xu Zhenbei fighting together on the battlefield, Duan Wang sighed in his heart, then turned to look at Xu Shiqiu and said: "Shiqiu, since you have such ambitions, why don't you let the soldiers practice quickly." ”

There are only two or three people who can be so comfortable in front of Rui Kangdi, especially those who dare to interrupt when Rui Kangdi recalls the old people, and Duanwang is one of them.

As soon as Duanwang's voice fell, Rui Kangdi nodded at Xu Shiqiu.

After receiving Ruikangdi's instructions, Xu Shiqiu immediately clasped his fists and gave a military salute and said, "The last general will be ordered." When the words fell, Xu Shiqiu turned around and left with a few guards to direct the soldiers' upcoming drill.

After Xu Shiqiu left, King Duan looked at Emperor Ruikang and said, "Brother Huang, my brother knows that you feel guilty about Zhenbei, but since the original incident has passed, you should not keep worrying about it." After saying this, King Duan paused and continued: "The most important thing is that since you understand what happened at the beginning, you should make a decision earlier. ”

Hearing Duan Wang say this, the other people who were originally leaning on him and Rui Kangdi hurriedly took two steps back without a trace, and made a look of 'I'm not listening'.

Rui Kangdi didn't care about the actions of those people, as an emperor, he naturally understood that when he and King Duan talked about this topic, they didn't dare to eavesdrop.

It's just that......

"Brother Duan, they are all my bloodline, so how can I go down and deal with them ruthlessly." Ruikangdi also knew that when he was old, he had a soft heart, which was really not good for an emperor.

Rui Kangdi saw that he said these things and the back end king's face was ugly, so he sighed again and continued: "Brother Duan, I actually already have an idea in my heart about this matter, and I will definitely discuss it with you in detail in some time." ”

When King Duan heard Emperor Ruikang say this, it was naturally difficult to say anything, not to mention that Xu Shiqiu had already returned to the soldiers at this time, holding the military flag in his hand, and was ready to start practicing the military formation.

Although there are few people under Xu Shiqiu's hands, the military formations that can be trained are varied.

I saw Xu Shiqiu first stretch out one hand, palm facing forward, and then the palm of his hand quickly clenched into a fist in the air.

As soon as he fell, all the soldiers under him on the school field below were all staring, looking at him, waiting for his new order to be issued.

Seeing that the soldiers below were all ready for battle, Xu Shiqiu's fist quickly made a gesture that others couldn't understand.

Next, the more than 1,500 people who had originally gathered together quickly separated, and then Xu Shiqiu held the command of the military flag.

Those who have never led a soldier can only feel that the soldiers on Shiqiu's side will be murderous for a while, and then retreat neatly and unhurriedly, and before they can come back to their senses, the soldiers under the other generals who pretended to be the enemy in the military formation have one or two white spots on each of them.

If you look closely, you will find that the white spots on these people are almost all in fatal places, and there are more throats and hearts, while the soldiers who have retreated can hardly see the existence of white spots on their bodies.

"This, this is really a tiger man." Duan Wang looked excited, and when he saw that the others didn't quite understand, he hurriedly explained: "This is a drill between the two armies, and the weapons in his hands have been replaced with wooden sticks. The sticks are stained with white powder at the end, and as long as white spots are left on the opponent during the battle, a professional team will determine whether they are killed or not. ”

Almost at the moment when Duan Wangye's voice fell, a team of military doctors led by two imperial doctors appeared on the school field below, and began to check on the two soldiers who had just retired from the battlefield.

Although the results at this time have not yet come out, they already know that the team commanded by Xu Shiqiu just now has obviously won.

Although he had long guessed that there was such a possibility, Rui Kandi still felt a little incredible.

He originally had confidence in Xu Shiqiu, entirely because he was the son of Xu Zhenbei, and Xu Zhenbei was able to step by step from an ordinary soldier to the position of the general of Yipin Town, relying on his strength and loyalty to himself.

Originally, he gave Xu Shiqiu this official position entirely because for the sake of the old man, but Rui Kangdi didn't expect that Xu Shiqiu really surprised himself.

Without waiting for the leader Rui Kangdi and the others to come back to their senses, in the school field below, the soldiers belonging to Xu Shiqiu's side suddenly walked out of a few soldiers from everywhere.

When these soldiers gathered, they instantly formed a line of ten people, a total of five columns.

Before Rui Kangdi and the others could guess what Xu Shiqiu was going to do, Xu Shiqiu had already looked at them and said loudly: "Back to the Holy Lord, these fifty people are the soldiers randomly selected by the last general yesterday, and I also ask the Holy Lord to select warriors from other armies to learn from one or two." ”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Rui Kangdi just wanted to refuse and say no, he already knew how powerful Xu Shiqiu was, but in the next moment, he saw Ye Shuo of the old five families among the fifty soldiers below.

As soon as he saw that his grandson was here, although he was only a concubine, he was also his grandson after all, and Rui Kangdi naturally wanted to see how he performed.

King Duan had been paying attention to Emperor Ruikang's expression, and seeing that his expression had changed from reluctance at the beginning to eagerness to try now, he immediately took the initiative to say: "Brother Huang, why don't you let the younger brother arrange the fifty warriors of this battle?" ”

As soon as King Duan's words came out, Rui Kangdi understood his thoughts.

"Well, in that case, I'll leave this matter to you."

As Rui Kangdi's words fell, although the faces of the fifty soldiers standing in the first school field did not change, their hearts were excited.

Today is the day when their Iron Eagle Brigade will become famous in the capital!
