"Is this the New Army? Why don't you have armor or a bow or arrow? ”

"Why are they wearing such strange clothes?"

"What are the New Army soldiers carrying, although they have sharp knives, but they are too short, right?"

Watching the soldiers of the New Army come out, the people's eyes widened one by one, and they were stunned.

This is too far from their imagination of the mighty image of wearing thick armor, holding spears and giant axes, and carrying bows and arrows.

The common people had never seen such an army, and they were naturally amazed.

"It doesn't look like an army of the imperial court, but like a civilian rebel army."

I don't know who muttered something in a whisper.

The strictest control of the imperial court is not bows, arrows, knives and axes, but armor.

In order to prevent wild beasts, folk hunters are allowed to hold bows and arrows.

Ordinary swords and axes, that's more.

Therefore, when there was a rebellion by the "righteous army", the biggest difference between the men and horses they pulled up and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court was that they had no armor.

After all, armor is much more expensive than weapons and much more difficult to craft.

The army has always been about the same size, and the side equipped with armor fights with the people who are not equipped with armor, and it is basically a one-sided slaughter.

No one thought that the imperial court had thousands of choices, and the new army personally trained by His Royal Highness Taisun did not even have armor.

Is this still the most elite and mysterious new army of the imperial court?

"Although the costumes are weird, they are very neat, the spirit is high, the pace is uniform, and there is the appearance of an elite soldier."

"But no matter how I look at it, I don't think it's right!"

"Who knows, His Royal Highness the Heavenly Genius may have another useful use."

"Yes, His Royal Highness Taisun is so smart, he must have his own plans."

The people's thinking is very simple, and they instinctively believe in the legendary His Royal Highness Taisun.

But there are also doubts.

"The imperial court spent so much silver and paid the new army such a high salary, they can't even afford to equip themselves?"

"His Royal Highness the Grand Sun won't divert all the military funds of the new army to eat, drink and have fun, right?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness Taisun has set up a technical research and manufacturing bureau to specialize in making fresh and interesting things, it seems to cost a lot of money, and the salary of the new army should not be moved there, right?"

"What if I lose the battle on the front line?"

……

These people's voices are relatively much quieter.

I didn't dare to comment too loudly, I only dared to mumble quietly.

Zhu Yunxi sat in the spacious and luxurious carriage, and did not look outside, but turned over the exercises that Xu Miaojin gave him.

Later generations often had two completely different views on ancient qigong.

Some people believe that in ancient times, there was an incomparably clever qigong, although it was not as bizarre and exaggerated as recorded in martial arts, but it definitely had its cleverness.

The other school of thought thinks that it is all bluffing, and that the ancients did not understand the principle, and what they boasted about was not scientific and must not be taken seriously.

Zhu Yunxi is a positivist, and after witnessing Jiang Zhen and Xu Miaojin's brilliant skills, he is quite curious about the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, medicine in this era is indeed not very developed.

In the era when there were no antibiotics, it was a very serious thing to get a casual injury or catch a cold.

Otherwise, the cheap father Zhu Biao and the eldest brother Zhu Xiongying would not have died of illness one after another.

The advancement of medicine is not easy.

He had no idea how to make penicillin and no guidance.

Health practice can improve physical fitness, enhance the body's immunity, and allow you to live for a few more years.

After all, the medical community of later generations almost unanimously agreed that immunity is the foundation of human treatment for all diseases.

At the end of the day, human beings rely on immunity to defeat disease.

"At first, close your eyes slightly, and look at the kidneys under your heart between an inch and a third......"

Zhu Yunxi slowly practiced according to the book.

After a few moments, he felt a breath in his belly, which was not real.

The carriage was bumpy, and the breath was unpredictable.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, smiled and shook his head.

This method of practice, if you want to get started, it is not so easy.

After practicing for so long, I have gained nothing and my efforts have been in vain.

Zhu Yunxi didn't care.

Anyway, it is used to exercise the body and strengthen the body, which is not an overnight effort.

Out of the city gate, he was about to speed up the march of the whole army to Jiaxing, but the team in front suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

Jiang Zhen reported: "Back to His Royal Highness, it was Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, who led hundreds of men and horses to block the road ahead. ”

Cao Guogong Li Jinglong?

The famous straw bag general in later generations, Li Jinglong, the god of war of the Ming Dynasty?

The image of this person flashed in Zhu Yunxi's mind.

Li Jinglong is the son of Li Wenzhong, the king of Qiyang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and is known for knowing soldiers.

After the Japanese invaders occupied Songjiang Mansion, Lao Zhu summoned five princes to return to Beijing, one of whom was Li Jinglong.

It can also be seen that Lao Zhu still attaches great importance to him.

Zhu Yunxi asked Jin Yiwei to drive his carriage to the front and stood out from the car.

Then he saw a man not far ahead, riding a high-headed horse, wearing heavy armor, very burly, tall and mighty, and dignified, just stopping the way of the army.

"Sure enough, people can't look good, but the skin of the Ming God of War is born well."

Zhu Yunxi said secretly in his heart.

But think about it too.

Most people naturally like to judge people by their appearance, if Li Jinglong didn't have this good skin, he might not be reused by Emperor Jianwen in history.

People who are unbearable in appearance, have good skills, and can get out of the way, their figure and appearance are often recorded in detail in the history books, because these people are special cases of special cases.

"Cao Guogong, why are you stopping my army from moving forward?"

Zhu Yunxi asked in a deep voice.

Li Jinglong had been riding on a horse, and when he saw him, he didn't get off the horse, pretending not to know his identity, which was very rude.

At this time, he heard Zhu Yunxi's question, and took a deep look, then turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee to salute.

"The last general, Li Jinglong, see His Royal Highness the Taisun."

Zhu Yun grimaced and asked angrily: "The army traveled and stopped it for no reason, do you know what the crime is?" ”

Li Jinglong looked up at him, his eyes were sharp, and said: "The last general is not blocking for no reason, but the new army led by His Royal Highness Taisun has no armor, no swords and axes, no bows and arrows, and only carries the so-called firearms, and the power is still unknown. ”

"The last general thinks that soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked."

"The last general, as the general of the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Cao Guo, who was personally appointed by His Majesty, should be loyal to the court and His Majesty."

"If the last general sees the strange state of the new army and turns a blind eye, if His Royal Highness Taisun has something unexpected because of this, then the last general will be guilty of a big crime."

Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly and said, "Are you too lonely?" ”

"His Royal Highness Taisun is wise and martial, and the world knows it. The last general did not dare to offend, but the uniform of the new army was so strange that he did not dare to ignore it. ”

He turned his head and pointed behind him, and said loudly: "The last general specially brought five hundred generals to conduct a drill with His Royal Highness Taisun's new army." If His Royal Highness Taisun's new army can defeat the 500 people brought by the last general, the last general will ask His Royal Highness Taisun for the guilt. ”

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers immediately applauded.

"Military formation training, this is a good idea, so that everyone can see the power of the new army."

"I don't know if the new army will be able to do it, so let's practice it first?"

"Going to the front line to fight the Japanese is not a joke, and the new army is really uneasy."

"Let's rehearse it first......

Discussion abounded.

Zhu Yunxi was unmoved.

If you really want to drill against Li Jinglong's 500 people, then I am afraid that you will have to delay it for a day.

The military situation is like fire, where can he afford to delay?

Again.

The new army was trained and cultivated in accordance with the military of later generations.

And the army of this era, not at all the same thing?

How to conduct the battle formation drill?

If the two sides are not allowed to shoot, and the two sides line up to hedge against each other in the military formations of this era, then there is no need to practice, just admit defeat.

After all, the Forces nouvelles have never been trained in this area.

If you can shoot......

How can there be any reason to really kill people for the sake of drills?

"Cao Guogong, leading the army alone, how can you be allowed to question indiscriminately, confuse the people with gossip, and disturb the morale of the army, do you really think that Lone can't cure your sin?"

"The last general will not dare. His Royal Highness Taisun is the prince of the country, so he can naturally punish the last general. However, the last general is deeply favored by the country, and he cannot not stop His Royal Highness the Taisun because he is afraid of punishment. ”

"If His Royal Highness Taisun is unwilling to practice, he can order the new army to return immediately. The last general is willing to lead 500 generals, follow His Royal Highness Taisun's side, saddle up the horse and back, and swear to serve His Royal Highness Taisun. ”

"If not, it will be difficult for the last general to give way, even if he dies."

Li Jinglong has a very strong voice and a strong aura when he speaks, as if he is really selfless and not afraid of death.

Zhu Yunxi's face became more and more ugly.

Li Jinglong's style is very similar to those civil officials who like to die at every turn.

Huang Zicheng's relationship with him is extraordinary, and Emperor Jianwen's reuse of this god of war in history was recommended by Huang Zicheng.

That Li Jinglong came to stop him today, most likely Huang Zicheng was behind his back.

While he was thinking, he saw a few fast horses behind him, galloping all the way.

Zhu Yunxi looked back and saw that the leader was an old eunuch who often waited beside Lao Zhu.

"Your Majesty has a decree to crown His Royal Highness Taisun as the "Governor-General's Mighty General and Chief Military Officer", leading the troops to go out to pacify the Japanese invaders, and all military affairs will be handled by His Royal Highness Taisun, and there is no need to hear about it. Grant the right to "act cheaply", and those who do not obey military orders are allowed to cut off first and then play. ”

The old eunuch presented the holy decree to Zhu Yunxi, and along with it, there was a golden seal of a mighty general and a royal flag.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi remember that he was in a hurry, and it seemed that he really didn't ask Lao Zhu for a "military position".

Although he is His Royal Highness the Taisun and the prison of the country, he theoretically has the power to dispatch troops.

But in addition to the emperor's personal conquest, even if the prince leads the army, he must be crowned with a military position according to the rules in order to command thousands of troops.

Otherwise, the front-line generals will refuse to listen to orders on the grounds that "military affairs are not trivial."

It's like the cabinet can use the court to command the army, but if the cabinet chief assistant really wants to go to the front line to command the army, he must first pay homage to the commander and be crowned with a position such as "superintendent and auxiliary minister".

However, the mighty general?

Isn't this the military position that Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde gave himself?

I grabbed it?

Zhu Yunxi was speechless for a while.

Fortunately, although Zhu Houzhao is a little willful, his ability to lead troops to fight is not too bad.

nor did he disgrace the title of mighty general.

He took the holy decree and the golden seal, hung the royal flag on the carriage, and turned his head again to look at Li Jinglong.

"Li Jinglong, do you really want to block the road of the army and block the army's advance?"

Although Zhu Yunxi's voice was immature, his tone was already murderous.

Li Jinglong's heart tightened.

He dared to stop him, because he was sure that the other party would not dare to do anything to him.

The strangeness of the new army is obvious to all.

He came to stop him, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was also loyal to the country.

And, more importantly, his identity is there, dignified Cao Guogong, one of His Majesty's most trusted generals.

Even if Zhu Yunxi is the prince, without His Majesty's holy decree, he can't help himself, let alone kill him.

And once the request is made, it can be regarded as a successful interception.

The new army is like this, and he doesn't believe that it has any combat power in any way.

Not even armor, swords, bows and arrows.

This can also go to the front line to fight, a big joke.

really made trouble in front of the emperor, and it was definitely his imperial grandson who suffered.

But now, Zhu Yunxi has been crowned as a mighty general, the governor of all military affairs, and has the right to act cheaply, should he really kill himself?

Li Jinglong was a little scared.

He was just asked by Huang Zicheng to come to stop the new army, but he didn't want to risk his life.

But what I said just now was too full.

In front of everyone's eyes, if you let go of it, it will really become a joke of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Whether it is in the court or the people, they will not be able to raise their heads.

In the eyes of the officers and men in the army, it will become a laughing stock.

Li Jinglong can't afford to lose this face.

"The last general asks for a drill with the new army, and if His Royal Highness the Taisun does not obey, the last general will swear to die and not give way."

"Good! Then don't blame the loneliness. ”

Zhu Yunxi's face sank, and he said: "Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, ignored the military law, and when the army went out, he openly led the army to intercept it. ”

"Someone come, take down Li Jinglong, behead it for public display, and go out to sacrifice the flag for the army."

When the words fell, Jiang Zhen immediately grabbed Li Jinglong with several brocade guards and tied him up.

Li Jinglong was already scared to death in his heart, but when he looked back at Zhu Yunxi, he felt that the other party must be scaring him.

He didn't dare kill me.

I wouldn't dare.

If he kills me, he will not be able to give an account to His Majesty.

"For the sake of the court, for the sake of Your Majesty, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Li Jinglong is not afraid of death!"

Li Jinglong shouted loudly.

Brush!

Jiang Xuan drew his knife and slashed straight down.

The knife flashed.

In a flash.

Li Jinglong's heart was terrified.

Finished.

This time it's over.

How dare he kill me?

Isn't he afraid that His Majesty will pursue the guilt?

"Spare your life! His Royal Highness the Taisun spares his life! ”

Seeing that the long knife was about to be cut down, Li Jinglong's original momentum of not being afraid of death suddenly changed.

Jiang Xuan's knife stopped at his neck, already touching his skin.

If it weren't for his superb martial arts, when he wielded the knife, he could send and receive freely, and he would have been cut down at this time.

Li Jinglong trembled, trembled all over, burst into tears, and had long since lost his previous domineering.

"His Royal Highness Taisun, I know that I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again in the future, so please ask His Royal Highness Taisun to spare me this time."

Watching the sword light slash down, he was frightened.

I can't care about any face.

He really didn't want to die!

At this moment, the onlookers, the new army, the Jinyi guard, and even the sergeants brought by Li Jinglong himself all showed unbelievable colors.

Did you just see death as home?

Why did it become this bear in a blink of an eye?

Is this man so shameless?

Many people shook their heads.

Or is Cao Guogong a hero who is not afraid of death?

Unexpectedly, when it came to the end, it was so bear-like.

Is this still the general of the imperial court?

Phew!

And the soldiers brought by Li Jinglong were all ashamed.

The Lord will be so unbearable that they will lose face.

Zhu Yunxi was not surprised at all.

The "great achievements" of the Ming God of War, if he is really not greedy for life and afraid of death, it would be strange.

However, although the other party begged for mercy, he was unwilling to let it go.

When the army went out to fight, he openly blocked the way, if he was not severely punished, and the matter came out, how could he, a mighty general, control thousands of troops and horses?

If the officers and men in the army follow the same example, then he doesn't have to lead the troops to fight.

"It's too late to admit your mistake now."

Zhu Yunxi said coldly: "Military law is ruthless, cut it." ”

"Don't ......"

Wow!

The knife flashed.

Li Jinglong's frightened screams stopped abruptly, and a huge head rolled down with a "snap".

The famous God of War of the Ming Dynasty in later generations has fallen!
