On the crane, the prince's hearty laughter was heard.

"Stinky boy, hahaha." Zhu Biao was amused by Zhu Zhen and burst into laughter, rubbing his increasingly plump chin and said, "Big brother will be laughed to death by you sooner or later." ”

"Alas, it's really ......" Zhu Zhen sighed depressedly: "Big brother doesn't believe in pulling down." ”

What's wrong with this world? Why does this king tell the truth, as if no one has ever believed it?

At this time, a sound sounded outside the carriage.

"Prince, His Royal Highness King Jin has come down."

"Oh?" Zhu Biao stopped laughing, wiped his tears and said, "Tell him to get in the car." ”

The car door opened, and the handsome and cheap face of His Royal Highness King Jin really appeared in front of the two of them.

"Big brother. Oops, the sixth is also there? Lao Sanma slipped into the car and sat on the other side of Zhu Zhen, ravaging the sixth child with Zhu Biao.

"Third child, your nose is very smart, I can find it anywhere." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"That's it, didn't everyone say that I was the shadow of my eldest brother when I was a child." Zhu smiled proudly, and seemed to like this title very much. "Big brother, where are you going?"

"Inspect the guards participating in the drill for my father." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Really?" Zhu Deng was interested, squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "Will you inspect Yu Linwei?" ”

"What do you say?" Zhu Biao also smiled at him.

"Haha, interesting, then I'll take a look." Zhu happily hugged the sixth brother and said, "Let's go and see how the two elder brothers are doing." ”

"Uh-oh." Zhu Zhen couldn't break free if he wanted to, so he could only nod obediently.

At present, Nanjing's army can be divided into three types: the Beijing camp, the pro-army and the squad army.

Jingying, that is, the capital garrison subordinate to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, has a total of 48 guards and about 200,000 people. Its main responsibility is to defend the capital, and at the same time, it also follows the generals to fight in the south and the north, and its combat effectiveness is far superior to that of the local guards.

The pro-army is the army directly under the emperor's jurisdiction. Together with the five guards of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, there are a total of 17 guards, about 80,000 people. His duty was naturally to defend the emperor, and he went with the emperor to conquer in person.

In addition, every year, 160,000 troops from the Central Capital and the provincial guards are also dispatched to Beijing for training in turns, which is called the 'squad army'.

So at this time, there are about 440,000 troops in the capital, and they are all elites in a hundred battles, if logistics can be guaranteed, it is enough to destroy any country in the world.

Of course, not all of the Beijing camp and the pro-army participated in the exercise. According to the provisions of the "Instructor Sergeant Law", one fifth of the officers and soldiers of each guard are selected every year to take turns to participate in the drill. So it's almost 60,000 troops.

Together with the 160,000 squad troops, a total of 220,000 troops, camped and practiced outside Nanjing.

It's really a hundred miles of camp, and it's spectacular!

~~

When the prince and his entourage arrived at the camp gate, the three bigwigs in the army, Cao Guogong, Song Guogong, and Wei Guogong, had been waiting here for a long time.

The barracks are also not a place of formality. The three princes were in armor, and it was inconvenient to bow down, so they could only replace them with military salutes.

After meeting the three highnesses, the three princes led them into the barracks.

It's a shame to say that although his brothers grew up in the barracks, this is the first time Zhu Zhen has entered the barracks of the Ming Army, and everything he sees is new......

Of course, he didn't see anything famous. After all, he had only entered the military camp of the Ming Sect before.

The kind of loose grass platform team is completely different from the invincible elite Ming army in the world.

Zhu Zhen only felt that the barracks were heavily fortified and the guards were dense. Moreover, the officers and soldiers standing guard are wearing armor, holding swords with cold light, opening bows and arrows, and the bow is full of the moon, as if facing a great enemy!

Seeing the surprised gaze of the sixth brother, the eldest cousin said warmly: "Our training and exercises are as close to actual combat as possible. No one knows if someone will come to steal the camp in the next moment, so we must always be vigilant. ”

"Uh-oh." Zhu Zhen nodded. "It's been so hard."

"What's so hard about standing guard compared to training?" Feng Sheng said with an urn:

"The emperor clearly demanded that our army 'cavalry must be good at shooting spears and knives, and infantry must be good at bows and crossbows and guns.' That is, the cavalry and infantry each have three assessments, and they must all be qualified.

"And the emperor also has strict assessment standards. For example, if each person shoots a bow with twelve arrows at a time, the officer must shoot six arrows at a distance of one hundred and sixty paces. The soldiers were closer, one hundred and twenty paces away. In addition, six arrows must hit a target fifty paces away to be considered successful. ”

"If you take the crossbow shooting, it's still twelve arrows per person. Five of the arrows had to be shot far enough. Specifically, it is eighty steps of the crossbow and one hundred and fifty steps of the crossbow of the car; In addition, there are five arrows, and it is necessary to hit a target fifty paces away to be considered a success. Deng Yu went on to say:

"And that's just the basics, the bar for excellence is a lot higher. If you have excellent grades, you can be rewarded, and if you are excellent in all three things, you can be directly promoted from an ordinary soldier to a small flag officer, or even a chief flag officer. ”

"What if it's not qualified?" Zhu Zhen asked with interest.

"Naturally, the emperor also prescribed punishments. For example, if a unit fails forty percent, the officer will be deprived of one year's salary; If the failure reaches 60 percent, the officer will be dismissed on the spot, and the soldier will be sent to serve in Guizhou, Guangxi, and other places where there is a miasma. Of course, the reverse is also true, if the troops perform well, the officers can also be promoted. ”

"Tsk, my father is so fine." Zhu Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

"This is still a simple analogy with you, you have to watch "The Law of Coaches and Sergeants" by yourself to know how detailed your father is." The third brother understands these things very well, and can even recite them backwards.

~~

While speaking, everyone came to the school field, and saw tens of thousands of soldiers practicing in full swing, the whole school field was full of smoke and dust, drums and horns were contending, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

It is in response to Xin Qiji's sentence of '800 miles under the command, 50 strings turn over the outside sound, and the autumn soldiers on the battlefield'.

Surrounded by everyone, Zhu Biao boarded the platform.

As soon as Cao Guogong waved his hand, the ten heralds blew the horn together.

Then Zhu Zhen was stunned to see that the school field, where the sound of killing was deafening, instantly quieted down, leaving only the sound of continuous footsteps like raindrops.

He saw the officers waving the flags, and the soldiers quickly formed a line with the flags, and then the teams quickly gathered in front of the point platform.

The empathetic third brother whispered to the sixth brother: "I can't hear orders on the battlefield at all, so our army uses flags to give orders." ”

Zhu Zhen nodded, indicating that he understood.

Soon, tens of thousands of troops were assembled, and in units of thousands of people, they were neatly arranged into black squares, standing silently in front of the point general.

This scene made Zhu Zhen feel very shocked.

He knew that the Ming army was strong, but he never thought that the Ming army would be so strong......

This is like a neat and uniform queue level, I'm afraid that only another army in 600 years can stabilize them, right?

At this moment, he finally understood that the success of the old thief was no accident......

ps. Chapter 5, a little late...... But he didn't break his promise.
