On this day, Zhang Anshi left the house, but bumped into an old acquaintance.

It was the dude's guard.

As soon as Zhang Anshi raised his eyes, he directly questioned him: "Where is the sack?" ”

But he saw the guard shake his head.

Zhang Anshi said: "What does it mean to have no sacks?" ”

"Please get on board."

Only then did I realize that a horse-drawn carriage was parked on the side of the road.

Zhang Anshi was not afraid, and got into the car without hesitation.

The carriage went all the way out of Chaoyang Gate.

Outside the Chaoyang Gate, there is the foothills of the Purple Mountain.

When Zhang Anshi got out of the car, he found himself outside a mountain gate called Banshan Temple.

Here, Zhu Di was dressed in military uniform, with a few guards, and he looked like he had been waiting for a long time.

Zhang Anshi stepped forward with a smile and said to Zhu Di: "My brother is very powerful. ”

Zhu Di gave the guards a look.

The guard understood and brought a pony to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi cautiously turned over his horse and asked, "Where is this going?" ”

Zhu Di said: "The city is stuffy, go out of the city and take a walk." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "I'm very busy. ”

Zhu Di couldn't refuse: "Go." ”

Zhang Anshi was helpless, so he had to ride a horse slowly and barely keep up.

Along the way, Zhu Di asked, "What do you like to eat?" ”

Zhang Anshi thought for a while: "Chicken." ”

Zhu Di stopped talking.

Zhang Anshi obviously felt that this old man had something on his mind, he was used to observing words and feelings, and in general, in this case, it was better for him to stimulate this guy less.

Just halfway through, Zhu Di suddenly became nervous, and in an instant, he took the painted bird bow hanging from his waist, put on a sharp arrow, bent the bow and arrows in one go, and finally shot towards a bush twenty zhang away.

The next moment, a pheasant fluttered in the grass, but unfortunately, this was the last time it stumbled, and the arrow pierced its neck.

The guards behind him immediately rushed forward and picked up the pheasant, and some people found a place with a water source, and silently began to set up an earthen stove and raise a bonfire.

Zhu Di also dismounted and led Zhang Anshi to find a big stone and sit down.

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "How is my archery skills?" ”

"Good, a little bit better than me." Zhang Anshi said: "But it's ......"

Zhu Di frowned and said, "But what? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "But no matter how powerful archery is, in my eyes, it is not as good as fire." ”

"Firebolt?" Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then smiled disdainfully: "The fire gun can't shoot so long, and it doesn't have such an accurate head." Daming's Shenji Battalion is indeed quite useful, but in real terms, there are many disadvantages of firearms, whether it is range or lethality, in fact, it is not as good as arrows. Of course, it may not be without benefits, but if you are good at riding and archery, the role of the bow and arrow is far stronger than that of the fire. ”

Zhu Di is a battle-hardened man who knows the advantages and disadvantages of various weapons.

Daming didn't pay attention to firearms, and even Zhu Di specially established the Shenji Battalion, which is a military horse specializing in the use of firearms and artillery.

And the reason why Zhu Di disagreed with Zhang Anshi's words was because the gunpowder technology of this era was really bad.

Because the power of gunpowder is small, it is very poor in both range and accuracy, and the power is also very limited, but because gunpowder is inconvenient to carry, and easy to get damp and other characteristics, it is far less good than bows and arrows.

At this time, Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile, looking like a good teacher: "The only use of the fire gun is that it can be easily used against many new pawns. But if it is a skilled old soldier with a bow and horse, the power and lethality of the bow and arrow are not known to be many times that of gunpowder. Therefore, the military horses of the Ming Dynasty, although there is a Shenji battalion, but the Shenji battalion must have cavalry arches on the left and right, the rear team also needs to have foot archers scattering, and the front also needs to arrange a car formation, so that it can barely be scattered by the enemy, so although the fire gun is useful, the available place is limited after all, and the way to strengthen the army, after all, it is necessary to cultivate more skilled archers and horses for the right way. ”

Zhang Anshi shook his head: "You are only half right, you think that firearms are not very useful, there may be many problems in the actual situation, think that bows and arrows are stronger, but have you ever thought about how to improve bows and arrows, after all, they are just bows and arrows." This bow and arrow is like a dying old man, who is about to die, and there is no room for growth. But what about gunpowder? Although gunpowder is now a thousand things to do, it is still just a child, and there is a lot of room for improvement in the future, and now it is better to spend some energy on firearms with bows and arrows, and in the future, this firearm will be able to far exceed the role of bows and arrows. ”

Zhang Anshi feels that Zhu Di is resting on his laurels, I am a special person in two lives, I will not understand the trend of history?

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi, feeling that Zhang Anshi was talking on paper.

You know how to fight with a hammer, killed in the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, experienced in a hundred battles, how many people in this world know better than me?

So they looked at each other with disgust, staggered their eyes from each other, and both looked disdainful.

"Hey......" Zhu Di sighed.

Zhang Anshi said: "You admit defeat? ”

Zhu Di shook his head: "I didn't admit defeat, I just had some worries." ”

"Let's hear about it." Zhang Anshi said.

Zhu Di said: "You are still young, you don't understand, I have reached the prime of life, my wife and children are old and young, and there are those children...... It's worrying that my sons are close to me, but I always feel that they are not necessarily filial piety, they are too competitive. As for those unscrupulous children, whenever I think of their unproductive appearance, I am always anxious, it is difficult to be a person, and it is even more difficult to be a parent and a respected person. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled: "There are people everywhere who don't make it, you want to open some." ”

Zhu Di was not relieved, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Anshi and said: "A smart child like you must make your parents raise their eyebrows with anger." ”

Zhang Anshi's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and said: "Yes, what worries me the most is that I am too good, sometimes I think that people should be simple and plain, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and sometimes it is not a good thing to be too good." ”

Zhu Di said seriously: "It is very rare for you to understand such a truth at a young age, a teenager of your age, there are few skills, but they are all above the top, and they are very high-flying." How good it would be if my children were like you. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Actually, I also envy those who have no heart and lungs, they don't have to think about anything, and they don't have to worry about it like me, they live comfortably." ”

As he spoke, the guards had already roasted the pheasant.

The smell of meat is tangy.

Zhu Di personally took a small dagger, cut off a chicken leg, and handed it to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi was not polite, he ate it immediately, this chicken thigh meat was tender and delicious, and he couldn't help but say with a satisfied face: "It's so fragrant." ”

"Delicious?"

Zhang Anshi nodded and continued to feast.

Zhu Di simply cut off another chicken leg and handed it to Zhang Anshi, while he cut off the chest meat, and ordered the guards to take two pots of wine.

After the two of them drank bitterly, Zhu Di cheered up and said, "I haven't been so happy for a long time, you kid is good, you will be my nephew in the future." ”

Zhang Anshi said in surprise: "Nephew? Aren't we brothers, man, are you ashamed? ”

Zhu Di's eyes widened suddenly, and he said angrily: "Enter your mother, Lao Tzu can be your father." ”

Zhang Anshi was unhappy, and also scolded: "Damn, you are scolding again, you are ......"

He was about to scold, but he saw that the guards not far away looked nervous, and someone began to touch the handle of the knife on his waist with his hand.

Sweeping the wilderness around him again, Zhang Anshi's neck was cold, his expression suddenly paused, and then he said respectfully: "I'm sorry, I just sweared, I will definitely change it next time." ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhu Di is not such a stingy person, he didn't care much, and the two chatted for a while before riding back to the city.

When Zhang Anshi returned home, he always saw Yang Shiqi and Deng Jian looking at him with malicious eyes.

These two supervised his etiquette and homework every day, but Zhang Anshi really couldn't learn it, so he sneaked out every once in a while, and when he came back, he didn't quibble and obediently admitted his mistakes.

Just don't change!

Yang Shiqi felt that Zhang Anshi was hopeless, but this kind of thing was like this, people slowly lowered their expectations, and began to comfort themselves, for example, now he can at least think about the better, at least Zhang Anshi still knows how to admit his mistakes.

After a few days, I saw that the day of Halloween was getting closer and closer.

Zhu Yong and Zhang Xuan, who were injured, rushed to Zhang's house to find Zhang Anshi.

This time, they also brought a teenager with them.
