After the morning of deployment and settlement, the selected sergeants found a place to live and completed the formation, and the guards explained the basic passwords.

Then all afternoon, these soldiers were standing (riding) in military posture and watching Zhu Jinghong train the guards.

Of course, not all afternoon training, Zhu Jinghong arranged two breaks and chatted with some sergeants and officers.

At this moment, it is the end of the third round of training, Zhu Jinghong is organizing a martial arts competition, and takes out one hundred taels as a reward.

And the content of the competition is the most difficult mounted archery, which can't be done without a little effort.

Therefore, even in the current age of firearms, cavalry is a highly paid technical service, which is difficult and expensive to train.

As far as Zhu Jinghong knows, with the current size of the Ming Dynasty, the cavalry guarding the pro-army and the Beijing camp add up to 70,000.

Besides, in this competition, there are 100 taels of lottery heads, and the soldiers are enthusiastic and have shown their strongest skills.

The top five with the best results have all been rewarded, and they are grateful to Zhu Jinghong.

Although each person does not get more than ten or twenty taels, this is equivalent to half a year's salary, which is really a heavy reward for ordinary soldiers.

When the enthusiasm at the scene was high, I only heard Hou Jing shouting: "Thirteenth master, aren't you also skilled in bowing and horses, why don't you show your hand to the big guy?" ”

At this time, Zhang Lin also shouted: "The Thirteenth Master is unparalleled in riding and shooting, and now it happens that the bow and horse are ready, so let everyone see it!" ”

More and more guards coaxed, and there were even young military attachés of the guards who were pro-army, and the atmosphere at the scene became more and more enthusiastic.

"Lead the horse, take the bow!" Zhu Jinghong's tone was heroic.

Seeing that he really wanted to show his hand, the soldiers present were all looking forward to it, they had all heard of Zhu Jinghong's cavalry and shooting, but they thought that it was probably touted.

But when they saw Zhu Jinghong jumping on the horse, the soldiers knew that he had a lot of skills.

After taking the standard war bow, Zhu Jinghong took the bow and rubbed it, and then smiled: "This is too soft, take my hard bow!" ”

In fact, the foot bow used by the guards and the pro-army has already exceeded the standard when used as a riding bow, who knows that Zhu Jinghong is not enough.

As long as he doesn't talk big, just from this point, the soldiers know that he has real kung fu.

When they brought Zhu Jinghong's special hard bow, everyone was stunned just by looking at the appearance, not to mention shooting this thing, it was not easy to pull it apart.

Can the Thirteenth Master really pull it away?

As soon as everyone came up with this idea, they saw Zhu Jinghong directly pulling the bowstring full, which directly shocked their jaws.

"It seems that the rumors are true, the Thirteenth Master is really brave!"

This is the voice of most people at the scene, at this moment they have put aside their doubts, and they just want to see Zhu Jinghong's next heroic appearance.

When the arrow target was set along the way, he saw that he began to move forward with a bow and a horse, but the direction of the advance was a little strange, and he was getting farther and farther away from the arrow target.

It wasn't until he was sixty meters parallel to the arrow target that Zhu Jinghong came to stop the arrow rope, which was twenty meters farther than the soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Jinghong followed the parallel line with the arrow target and left to hit the horse farther away, which was to leave enough acceleration distance.

At this moment, the school field was extremely quiet, and everyone was staring at Zhu Jinghong, looking forward to his next performance.

"Driving ......"

When the distance was sufficient, Zhu Jinghong grabbed the reins and stopped, and then turned the horse's head to adjust the direction.

With a clamp between his legs, the war horse was urged by Zhu Jinghong, and then began to accelerate.

The wind was blowing, Zhu Jinghong was full of energy, he actually liked this feeling.

When the distance was close, I saw him taking the arrow, winding it, pulling the bow and releasing the arrow, all the actions in one go, which was pleasing to the eye.

The most important thing is that at such a high speed and at such a distance, the arrow hit the bull's-eye with extreme precision.

The sharp-eyed person also found that the target had been shot through, so he shouted in surprise.

"The Thirteenth Master is mighty!"

"The Thirteenth Master really lives up to his name!"

At this moment, watching Zhu Jinghong hit the target continuously, everyone at the scene was exclaiming, and the scene became more and more enthusiastic.

Outside the field, there were uninvited guests at this moment, looking at the situation on the school field in amazement.

"The thirteenth master is unparalleled in riding and shooting, I don't think there is an opponent in the world, don't say anything else...... With his archery speed alone, no matter how talented a person's arm is, he can't stand it! ”

The man who spoke was dressed in a blue-gray round-necked robe, with a common head on his head, and his age was about fifty.

Just from his words and demeanor, it can be seen that he is not small, and it is not surprising that he should be a general.

At this time, a rugged man behind him replied: "My lord, this is a natural martial arts star, we mortals can't compare!" ”

"yes...... We are all mortal! Wang Ziteng sighed.

That's right, this middle-aged and elderly man who listened to the movement is General Zhengsanpin Weilie, the governor of the rear army and the chief officer of the Xianwu battalion, and the first-class prince Wang Teng.

"My lord, why don't you go in and have a look?"

Wang Ziteng shook his head: "Forget it, this is a place for young people, and an old man like me won't go to join in the fun!" ”

He only heard the movement, and now he understood what was going on, and it was enough to satisfy his curiosity.

Turning around with Wang Ziteng, the rugged man asked in a low voice: "General, I heard that the Holy Lord intends to let you be appointed as the commander of the capital of Anxi Xingdu and the governor of the northwest military, is this matter serious?" ”

The prince was noncommittal, and said slowly: "Don't guess, everything has its own saint in charge, and it is just a matter of acting according to the orders of the courtiers!" ”

The rugged man said with a smile: "No wind and no waves, I think this matter is eighty percent accurate, and I congratulate the general in advance on my humble position!" ”

The situation faced by the Xingdu Division was more complicated, so the inaugural commanders were one level higher in rank than the local capital divisions, and they were concurrently served by the governors of the capital like the chief military officers of the Beijing camp.

The difference is that only military generals who have served as governors have the opportunity to be promoted to the governor of Tongzhi, so this general will congratulate Wang Ziteng.

However, when he heard the congratulations, Wang Ziteng straightened his face and said coldly: "This matter should not be mentioned again, all major military affairs are handled by His Majesty, and his subordinates can discuss it in vain!" ”

This kind of high-level personnel appointment and dismissal, and the leakage of rumors will change, so Wang Ziteng doesn't want anyone to talk about it.

Seeing that Wang Ziteng was really angry, this rough man's face should be, he slapped the horse's hooves.

The two walked forward without saying a word, but Wang Ziteng sighed in his heart.

According to his military merits and qualifications, normally he should have taken this step in the first two years, but because his family married the Jia family, the emperor always had doubts about him.

Now that the Jia family has made a lot of trouble, it may have an adverse impact on him again, so Wang Ziteng does not have much hope for his new appointment.

But he also knows that if he can't take this step this year, he will have no chance to go further in this life.

As Wang Ziteng and the others walked away, Zhu Jinghong had already shot twelve arrows on the school field, and each arrow pierced the bull's-eye, triggering a frenzy of applause on the spot.

I have to say that the sergeants present really opened their eyes, and at this moment they praised Zhu Jinghong's heroism from the bottom of their hearts.

Jumping off the horse, Zhu Jinghong threw the bow to Lu Yuxin, and left very calmly in the admiration that came like a wave.

A real man who never looks back at the crowds.

Just as he was about to sit down and announce that the training had continued, a small eunuch came rushing to him and told him that the Empress had summoned him.

This is really a strange thing, Zhu Jinghong can't figure out why.

But the queen summoned him and had to go, so he warned Hou Jing and others to organize training, and he himself rushed to the palace.
