In the artillery field, more than 600 soldiers of the Beijing battalion were responsible for maintaining order in the field, and 1,000 men and horses on each side were responsible for lining up to prepare for the completion of the military art drill of the school.

"Your Majesty, let the ministers show it today, if you pull out a flag on the battlefield, you can give a little expression. I'm waiting. ”

Zhang Heling had a rare opportunity to brag in front of Zhu Youji, as if he was already a big man in the military circles.

Zhu Youzhu looked at the past with a strange gaze, and there was a kind of "what are you crazy about, what nonsense are you talking about".

Zhang Yanling asked: "Big brother, what is pulling the flag?" ”

Zhang Heling said: "Isn't it just that people on both sides are pulling, and whoever pulls the other party's flag wins?" ”

"Haha."

Zhu Houzhao laughed when he heard this, "Uncle, are you stupid?" Do you think that the military exercise is a game of chess? Capture the flag? The things on the battlefield can be solved by the flag, and everyone can be crowned and worshipped. Ha ha. ”

In terms of not saving face, Zhu Houzhao is a typical example of murder and punishment, and he never hides his emotions.

Zhang Heling looked confused, with a sense of being subverted in his outlook on life.

I'm still waiting to capture the flag and show it, but I know it's my own doing?

"Here we go."

Wang Qiong walked over from Zhang Zhou's side and said respectfully to Zhu Youji.

Zhu Youzhu said: "The twelve regiments are divided into two classes, east and west, and they will go into battle with cavalry first. Crane ling, you and Trillium are also on. ”

"Isn't it riding and shooting? It's so much easier than you think it's the Boss. Boss, I'll show you what to see. ”

Zhang Yanling mocked his brother while showing great confidence.

In his own opinion, I have killed the enemy on horseback, and I can still lose face by riding a bow and shooting?

……

……

Ideals are one thing, and after waiting on horseback, reality can teach this group of usually pampered lords a lesson.

You still need someone to help you ride your horse in place, but when you get on your own and complete basic slashing and archery...... There were many martial artists present who could not complete these most basic exercises.

"Look, Father, someone has fallen from his horse!" Zhu Houzhao excitedly pointed to the distance, there was a great sense of pride that they were not as good as mine.

The inspection has just begun, and it is only a basic action to come up, and there is already a disgrace in front of the lords, not to mention how ugly Zhu Youji's face is.

I expected you to make a fool of yourself, but it wasn't so ugly, was it? You are the generals who lead the Beijing camp, and if you are killed by outsiders, you will expect a group of generals who will fall from their horses to lead the troops to attack and kill?

I'm not blinded by lard, am I?

"Whoosh ......"

Mounted archery began, and each lord rode to the designated place, and the prescribed action was to shoot with a bow while riding a horse, and then ......

It's happening again.

This time, the vast majority of the lords could only stop their horses...... There are various places to stop, and then the bow is shot, and some of the arrows hit the ground directly after the bow is drawn, or some are shot only a few steps away......

There are very few huge targets, let alone shooting them, even if they shoot around and scrape past, there are very few.

More than 30 first-class lords shot bows, each shooting three arrows, and only six of them successfully shot one target, and two of them shot two arrows.

As soon as the picture came out.

Zhu Youzhu couldn't bear to look at it, he expected it to be very bad, but he was still out of the sky.

"Second shift, on!"

It's the turn of a relative to come on the field, and this time it's even more lively.

Many people can't even get on a horse, let alone ride a shot, the Zhang brothers don't look very sloppy, but there are few who can ride a horse and gallop, but when it is their turn to shoot arrows, the Zhang brothers can't even draw arrows, let alone stop their horses and take arrows.

Some horses collided together, while others led horses to complete archery, because the target was about forty paces away from the stop line, and the hardness of the bow and arrow was relatively large, and most people's arm strength could not even pull the bow away.

In this group of people, even Cui Yuan, who wanted to perform himself well before, was struggling to support him, and he was one of the few who completed the basic movements, but the reality was cruel, and his three arrows didn't even touch the edge of the target.

"Oh! Oh! ”

Even so, the soldiers of the Beijing camp were still acting as an atmosphere group to cheer up this group of people.

But the initial encouragement, by the middle and late stages, seems to have been a bit of a joke.

It sounds more like heckling.

……

……

"This is the inspection I wanted? Still human? ”

Zhu Youzhu in front of Zhang Mao, Ma Wensheng, Xie Qian, Zhang Zhou and others, there is no need to shy away from it.

It's just that Zhu Houzhao is still there......

"Father, that's all there is to you?"

Zhu Houzhao was also puzzled.

The prince has always thought that the Ming soldiers have ambitions that cannot be expressed, and they are all like grandmothers, and they still hope that they can assist the palace to conquer the four seas in the future?

Li Rongdao, who was in charge of supervising the inspection, said: "Your Majesty, most of the generals have not yet appeared. ”

Meaning, even if the lords are incompetent, at least there are ordinary generals.

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "Yes, the British princess hasn't gotten down yet." ”

Zhu Houzhao doesn't like to watch the performances of ordinary generals, he just wants to watch the excitement, and in his opinion, people who are not worthy of the position should get out of the way early and make way for the people behind.

"Old ......"

Zhang Mao's face was dark, and he knew that the result would not be too good.

"British duke, this will not have to be old and humble, go ahead."

Zhu Youzhu also spoke coldly.

No one else can do it, do you old man Zhang still want to hide? When you were young, Xiyuan made three shots and three hits, and now it's time for you to boost the morale of the army.

"The old minister's order."

Zhang Mao also belonged to the hard head, and Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, was driven to the shelves with him.

The brothers used to be brave, but now they belong to Lian Po Lao, even if they have the heart of the old man, but the years have passed, and time has worn down the physique and fighting spirit of the old brothers.

"Drive!"

Zhang Mao took the lead, and he just looked awesome, bent his bow and arrows, and it was impossible to be handsome on purpose, but he could shoot it seventy or eighty steps away, three arrows...... Only one arrow hit, but the other two arrows were about the same.

Don't think about hitting the bullseye directly.

Zhu Hui's situation is comparable, and he is also one of the three, but Zhu Hui's riding posture can be more sassy.

"Father, I've been hit, it's very powerful. The young ones are not as good as the old ones. ”

Zhu Houzhao's words made the people around him embarrassed, but fortunately, Zhu Hui and Zhang Mao each hit an arrow, if they didn't hit, then these two guys could resign and apologize on the spot.

"The generals of the Beijing camp from all walks of life take turns. What are the skills of the master, go on. ”

Zhu Youzhu looked impatient.

It seems that everything will have to wait until Zhang Zhou finally comes to cover up the ugliness.

……

……

The martial arts exercise is still continuing, and Zhu Youzhu is a little too lazy to watch.

The condition of ordinary soldiers is not much better, and they usually neglect to practice, and this is not something that the soldiers of the Beijing camp can decide by themselves, and Zhu Youzhi has nothing to do with letting the Beijing camp occupy the army, and he also has to bear a lot of responsibility.

So Zhu Youzhu also looked very annoyed.

“…… Those who don't come say that they are sick, and if they can't bear it, then they won't receive it in the future, and I don't want to see them again! ”

Zhu Youzhu was in a bad mood, and his tone was naturally very heavy.

Zhang Mao and Zhu Hui had just returned to the viewing platform, and when they heard this, they were a little embarrassed, especially Zhang Mao...... Who made him okay and always liked to excuse himself from his official duties because he was sick?

And he Zhang Mao is also a notoriously mean sergeant, and his bad deeds are remembered in the annals of history, and everyone knows about it.

"Father, there is another batch, it seems to be the elite rider of Yanwutang."

Zhu Houzhao became excited, and he still felt familiar with the few leaders who had basically seen them when he went south to Nanjing, and they could be said to be the elite of Zhang Zhou's escort force.

Two hundred cavalry came on horseback, and the ranks did not look very neat, but they were very strong.

When the 200 cavalry arrived at the predetermined place, the movement of reining and stopping the horses was very uniform.

After stopping, they lined up in two rows, the first row of "bang ......bang" a volley, the target of hundreds of straw men in front of them was beaten to the dead grass, and then it was still the first row, and the second round of shooting was direct, this time their target was the straw man 200 steps away, and most of the straw men were directly scattered.

The second row came up, and it was the same, facing the straw man nearly three hundred paces away in the distance, and still able to complete two rounds of shooting.

After this scene, the onlookers were already stunned.

And that's not all.

The two hundred cavalry continued to gallop to the next firing point, no more than a hundred paces along the way, and in a flash, but the soldiers had already completed the replacement of the projectiles.

Two rows of riders, and four rounds of shooting, let the Ming monarchs and ministers see what it means to be crushed by the torrent of the times.

……

……

With the withdrawal of the two hundred elite horsemen, no one present could speak casually.

Even Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian, who were critical of Zhang Zhou in the past, seem to have to re-examine Zhang Zhou.

Zhu Youzhu originally planned to rely on rifled guns to cover up his ugliness, but now it seems that he doesn't need to.

These 200 cavalrymen have already taught everyone a good lesson in front of almost the entire martial arts generals of the Ming Jing Battalion.

"Father, that's amazing. Riding is too weak in comparison. ”

Zhu Houzhao rediscovered the meaning of martial arts, and praised Zhang Zhou, this bear child can be regarded as restrained.

Even Zhang Mao and others felt that the little prince had said it to the point.

It's not that we can't do it, it's that the mounted archery is outdated, and such a big change is not transferred by the individual's ability in mounted archery, which will even pull Lu Bu out of the grave, and we will be willing to bow down.

Zhu Youzhu said with a smile on his face: "Bingkuan, tell me, how long did it take you to train them?" ”

Zhang Zhou looked around at everyone present, and then said: "This is not the result of the training of the ministers, but the training of the instructors of the Yanwutang. The instructors of the Yanwutang have such abilities, and after mastering the Karakuri and other things, they can design reasonable tactics according to the advantages of the firearms of the Shenji Battalion. The minister just broke the question. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhu Youzhi also seems to agree with this, "Wang Boan was brought out by you, and he can be said to be flexible on the field." ”

Li Rong said with a smile: "This is thanks to Cai Guogong to solve the problem, if not, then everything will not be able to stand." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Youzhu did not take too much stubble in the face of such an almost naked toution, and he also considered to help Zhang Zhou accumulate character.

Zhu Youzhu asked: "Then Bingkuan, what should I test next, you can solve a question." ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Your Majesty, today's ministers, like Ma Shangshu and Xie Gelao, are all here to watch the ceremony, how can they trespass?" ”

Li Rong said: "Your Majesty, do you think this is okay?" Since the power of the Shenji Battalion has been seen by all the princes and generals present, it is better to change today's strategic art of war test to the tactics of the Shenji Battalion. ”

"It's very reasonable, in the future, I hope that the traditional art of war will deal with the Tatars and other foreign countries, and it is not up to me, so I should make use of my strengths and avoid my weaknesses. I gave it. ”

Zhu Youji was very happy.

I've finally found something to make my face shine, and this kind of thing still depends on Bingkuan.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, the son also has a lot of ideas about this, and the son also wants to participate in the school examination. ”

This time, Zhu Youzhu didn't get used to this kid's problem, and said coldly: "Don't mess around." Inform them of the exam questions, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstones for them, and let them write military policies on the spot. ”

"Yes." Li Rong, as an overseer, participated in the examination and gladly accepted the order.

Zhu Houzhao felt that he had lost a chance to show his face, and looked very unwilling, pointing at Zhang Mao and saying, "What about the two of them?" ”

For Zhu Youji, it is enough to have a Zhou earning face now, there is no need to take Zhu Houzhao to take risks, and being a strict father will not care about his son's feelings every time.

He said coldly: "Today's examination is for the generals of the Beijing Camp Martial Arts and others, and there are other students of the Yanwu Hall, and you are not among them, so you are not qualified for the exam." As for the Duke of England and the Duke of Baoguo, they are not only the main examiners, but they are also no different from the usual candidates. ”

Zhang Mao already scolded in his heart, who am I trying to provoke? Let me take the exam with a group of subordinates?

And let me take a pen and a half-life old guy! It's so faceless!

……

……

The military policy examination began.

An examination booth was temporarily set up outside the theater, and everyone, regardless of whether they had entered the Yanwu Hall or not, had to participate in this assessment.

Many people have not picked up a pen for many years, and they don't know what to write, or this kind of proposition assessment.

It is impossible to hand in a white scroll, so write two sentences casually to express your loyalty to the emperor...... The minister is willing to push the artillery to the front line and repay His Majesty's kindness with death......

When the various military affairs strategies were presented to the emperor, Zhu Youzhu almost wanted to find a cannon to destroy this group of people.

"The words are so earnest, it seems that I have hindered their desire to serve the country!"

Li Rong said: "Your Majesty, there are still people who write very well, and this formation is very detailed. ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Youzhu took a copy recommended by Li Rong and couldn't help frowning.

Zhu Houzhao on the side glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Hundreds of cannons are deployed in formation?" Tartars are not stupid, when they will be like straw men, as stakes for others to slaughter? ”

Zhu Youzhu looked at Li Rong sideways, and didn't say anything, but the meaning was obvious, even the prince could find faults, presumably this strategy of not talking about the actual situation and only talking about the initiative to form a large array, is it not on paper, and there is no need for me to say it explicitly, right?

……

……

There are too many exam papers, and Zhu Youzhu himself knows nothing about it, and in the end, he basically gave it to Zhang Zhou and Wang Qiong for review.

Zhu Youzhi himself continued to watch the Beijing camp exercises.

"Who's that?"

When it was the turn of the two sides to face each other, there was suddenly an army below, under the guidance of a certain general, the lineup was neat, and it was suitable for both offense and defense.

Li Rong glanced at it, it was too far away to recognize it.

Then Zhu Hui said: "It seems to be the eldest princess of Yongkang." ”

"Cui Yuan? Not bad. ”

Zhu Youzhu didn't expect that what he admired was his brother-in-law, not a battle-hardened general.

"What about his military strategy?"

Zhu Youzhu asked.

Wang Qiong approached and said, "The military strategy of the eldest princess of Yongkang can be said to be excellent. ”

Cui Yuan's exam paper was then submitted.

For Wang Qiong, this is equivalent to a "love apprentice".

Still hospitalized, typing on my phone, typed some last night, finished tonight. Bilirubin is too high, with a series of high indicators, more than a dozen tubes of blood have been drawn, and there are still ten tubes waiting for me tomorrow morning, and there are all kinds of items to test.
