Li Ning is a great young man, he studied under the Baimei monk, he is a practitioner, he goes to the rivers and lakes to perform arts, he has a lot of strength, and two like-minded friends, the three of them together are called Qilu Sanying.

At this moment, he is not famous, but his daughter is very famous, called Li Yingqiong, the head of Emei Sanying and Eryun, and Li Yingqiong is still in her mother's belly at this moment.

Looking at Mrs. Slowly Growing Belly, and remembering the edict just issued by the Son of Heaven, Li Ning gritted his teeth and made up his mind, this is the end of his life, when he was young, he couldn't read, he could only practice martial arts to strengthen his body, although he won the title of Qilu Sanying, but he was really not good.

After arranging his wife, Li Ning found his brother-in-law Zhou Chun. Zhou Chun is also one of the three heroes of Qilu, and his wife is also pregnant, and coincidentally, his wife is also pregnant with a daughter.

His daughter's name in the future is Zhou Qingyun, and she is also one of the three Ying and two clouds appointed by the Emei faction!

"Big brother, do you want to go to the capital too?"

"Yes, the saint is very bright, and he is very filial, in order to avenge the first emperor, he did not hesitate to set off a big case, and even when the master mentioned the saint, he also said that the saint is the most filial person, but the means are a little cruel. But wouldn't it be better in my opinion?"

"That's right, there is a grudge to repay the grudge, there is a revenge to take revenge, this is what a husband should do. If you want me to say, the Holy One has done a good job!"

They were originally in the land of Qilu, which was not far from the capital, and it was even very close, so the two brothers waited until the end of summer and autumn, and only a month before the start of the competition.

The two brothers have been practicing martial arts since childhood, although they have not practiced such extraordinary things as internal qi and true qi, but they can also be called healthy, infinitely powerful, one or two are 1.95 meters tall, and they are also outstanding in the land of Qilu, where the height is generally high.

In addition, they have all practiced weapons, so they are more courageous, and the two of them went directly on the road with weapons and armor, and they are not afraid of encountering thieves, so they are obviously very confident.

But along the way, the closer you get to the capital, the more you have no confidence!

When they made up their minds in the spring, the two of them still felt that they were expected to be in the top ten, and the houses within the second ring road of Beijing would definitely be no problem. Soaring, just around the corner.

"The top ten is probably hopeless, so let's be in the top hundred, with the ability of you and my brothers, the top 100 is still okay. ”

......

Time soon came to the day of the start of the imperial competition, outside Beijing, tens of thousands of strong men from all over the country, you look at me, I look at you, in a confused face.

At this moment, many strong men remembered the conditions for participating in the imperial competition, carrying armor, longbows, weapons, and arrows, and traveled a hundred miles away within four hours.

Armor doesn't cost money?

Don't you need money for weapons?

How can people who have no money and no training participate in today's imperial competition?

Most of the people who dare to come here today have points in their hearts, but there are too many strong people, right?

This apartment in Beijing is really not easy to earn.

"The saint is here!"

"Look, that's the Son of Heaven?"

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

"I am Chongzhen, and I am also the son of tomorrow. ”

As he spoke, Chongzhen was wearing armor and a helmet, looking less like an emperor and more like a general who was always ready to fight.

Takeo!

The Son of Heaven does not love scribes and warriors!

Son of God, you have changed!

Your Majesty, don't you love me?

Your Majesty, the martial artist has misled the country!

Your Majesty, why don't you go back to live in the palace? It's been a year, Your Majesty, and you're still seeing things and thinking about people? It's time to come back, right?

Looking at the tens of thousands of strong men wearing armor in front of him, Chongzhen was more and more delighted!

This is a good family!

At the time of the Two Han Dynasty, the imperial court only had the northern army and the southern army, and the number was still pitiful, at most tens of thousands, but once it was in need, it could quickly expand to hundreds of thousands, and even the combat effectiveness was still very strong.

Why?

Because during the two Han Dynasty, the imperial court had a sufficient number of good families, waiting for the call of the court all the time!

As a result, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court did not want a good family, and the good family had to vote with his feet!

"Hahaha......"

While laughing, Chongzhen rode a horse close to the strong men, and when they were closer, the distance between them was not even a hundred meters, which made Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng and others who were in charge of guarding Chongzhen's side shocked.

At a distance of less than a hundred meters, there are so many strong men, if anyone can't figure it out, they can even shoot directly at His Majesty with a longbow!

And after Chongzhen's gesture, the strong men's good impression of him was unprecedented, and it skyrocketed to MAX in an instant.

"I have announced that the Imperial Martial Arts has officially begun!"

While!

With the sound of gongs resounding throughout the audience, tens of thousands of strong men entered their examination room in an orderly manner, a road about 100 miles long that had just been completed this year.

Four hours!

As long as you go a hundred miles away in full gear within four hours, you are a member of the Imperial Warriors, and you can enjoy a high salary of two taels of silver per month.

This is no middleman, no drifting two taels of silver!

In addition, the imperial court will directly give you ten acres of land!

After twenty years of service, if you haven't died, these ten acres of land are yours!

If you die in battle, these ten acres of land are also yours!

What's more, these ten acres of land are located near the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, before Chongzhen's head becomes stupid, it is impossible for any official to do whatever he wants on this ten acres of land.

The first one is public, and the last sentence is still circulated in one day, but the warriors all believed it! Even if they didn't believe it before, but today after seeing the Son of Heaven with their own eyes, they believe it!

Can the Son of Heaven still lack my money for ten acres of land?

Rush Rush!

Rush Rush!

At the end point, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew were chatting.

"Uncle, I didn't expect that there would be so many warriors in the soft Jiangnan!"

"Hey, I didn't expect it, aren't all the men in Jiangnan who are first-class in terms of mouth cannons, and the sissies who are the best at fighting in bed?"

Ahem!

Listening to the coughing sound, when I looked back, it turned out to be Lu Xiangsheng, a literati who didn't look like Master Jinshi at all. But what is he coughing for? Oh, I think about it, he is from Nanzhili, and he is also from Jiangnan.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, why are there so many warriors in the land south of the Yangtze River?"

"This is actually a misunderstanding, the land south of the Yangtze River is prosperous in culture and education, this is true. Almost every household there will read and practice calligraphy, every village has a private school, students will first study and practice in the private school in the village, those who have money will visit famous teachers after they are a little older, and those who have no money will continue to study hard, go to school, and take the imperial examination. ”

"The world only saw the previous imperial examinations, and the number of Jinshi in the land south of the Yangtze River was the largest, but they did not see the efforts of the students in the land of Jiangnan. ”

After sighing, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the two of them with ignorant expressions and knew that he was talking nonsense again, dealing with this kind of guy, he could only crumple and break the words, and make it clear and clear, otherwise they wouldn't understand.

"In short, there are many people studying in the south of the Yangtze River, too many, but the number of talent shows and people every year is limited. Therefore, the vast majority of people are unable to pass the talent test and the promotion of talents, and those who are not talented are even more hopeless. ”

And there are many small landlords in Jiangnan, so since the news of the imperial martial arts competition was announced, there are a large number of sons of landlords in Jiangnan who began to practice martial arts, began to polish their strength, and began to practice archery.

As the sons of the landlord's family, they were full of food and even could afford meat, and they could afford to pay for the journey, and the result was that the strong men from the south of the Yangtze River accounted for a full forty percent. However, in the end, there were relatively few of them, and most of them were just day trips to the stadium.

......

"Your Majesty, there are a total of 8,263 warriors in this pre-imperial martial arts tournament, and they will reach the end within four hours and become the pre-imperial warriors. Wang Chengen reported the final situation.

"Your Majesty, my old Cao Jue's, in addition to the qualified warriors in front of the emperor, those who insisted on coming to the finish line after four hours were also good men. Although their physical strength is not as good as the former, they also love the court and His Majesty, and they can practice if their physical strength is not good, they are all loyal and good men. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, many men have climbed to the end. It's just that when they climbed to the end, it was already the fifth hour, or even the seventh or eighth hour. There are even many heroes who fainted on the road, and even died of exhaustion. Lu Xiangsheng nodded approvingly.

"Well, yes, those who can stick to the end are heroes, and they will pass on my will, but anyone who carries armor and weapons to the end can become candidates for the imperial warriors, except for not having ten acres of land, other treatment is the same as the imperial warriors. But those who died of exhaustion on the road were to be given fifty taels of silver as a bereavement. ”

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

Do you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!

Do you say that you have no clothes, and you are clothed with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son!

The first pre-imperial martial arts competition ended in a burst of clothes, the old and young masters of Beijing City were stunned, the nobles were stunned, and the civil officials were even more surprised and speechless!

Tens of thousands of people sang in unison, and this moment is truly unified!

The soldiers of the Nine Sides, call them the Son of Heaven!

The people of the capital, call them the house slave warriors!

Although there is a slave character in the name, this is not because the people of the capital look down on them, but because they are full of envy, jealousy and hatred!

In the autumn of the first year of Chongzhen, Lin Dan Khan of the grassland entered the Kou.

Lin Dan Khan is a descendant of the Golden Family, a descendant of Genghis Khan, and a remnant of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but he was a great failure and was beaten by Huang Taiji, and then ran away.

Lin Dan Khan, who ran away, was unwilling and wanted to enter the Central Plains to return a wave of blood.

Then he met the dragoons that Emperor Chongzhen had prepared for him to meditate, that is, the cavalry infantry!

Of course, the equestrian skills of these infantry are not as good as those of the Mongol warriors, but they are not cavalry in the first place, and their weapons are flintlock pistols that have been handmade by the masters of the capital for the past year, and the quality has been guaranteed.

With these flintlock guns, it's still easy to kill a person with one shot within twenty meters!

No matter how strong the person is, no matter whether the person has ever been a marksman, and no matter how prominent the person is, everyone is equal under the flintlock!

If you are said to be killed with one shot, you will be killed with one shot!

There is no middleman to make the difference, and everyone is a shot!

The tactics of these flintlock knights are also very simple, close to the gun, good marksmanship, a headshot fifty meters away, bad marksmanship, it is still possible to hit a horse thirty meters away.

Never fight head-on!

Never charge!

Never engage in close quarters!

Run after a shot!

Come back when you've loaded your bullets!

So much so that the Mongol warriors under the command of Lin Dan Khan denounced these flintlock lancers and called them black lancers, which means that they all shoot black guns, and they only shoot black guns!

However, these horse-rising infantrymen, who could only shoot black guns and could not fight immediately, successfully beat Lin Dan Khan back to the grassland, and completely left thousands of grassland herdsmen, and also robbed hundreds of cattle and thousands of sheep back.

In the autumn of the second year of Chongzhen, the second imperial martial arts competition began, and this time the strong men prepared for a full year! Compared with the first hasty preparation, this time there were too many warriors who practiced hard at home for a year.

There are even many old masters who have opened martial arts halls, and they have taken the opportunity to launch a new activity to grow ten pounds of muscle in three months and twenty pounds of muscle in half a year.

Shaolin Temple, Wudang School, Huashan School and many other famous and decent schools have responded to the call of the imperial court, conformed to the trend of the times, and opened one after another physical crash course.

The so-called crash course is to specialize in muscle training.

Before you come in, you are a thin man, and after paying the money, you are guaranteed to be a muscular man after a year!

If the conditions are good, invite someone to your home for personal guidance. If the conditions are not good, go to the martial arts hall and boxing gym, enroll in a study class, and spend the whole year exercising, learning archery and the use of weapons.

In the autumn of the second year of Chongzhen, the second imperial martial arts competition began under the city of Beijing.

This time, there were 15,000 warriors who were selected as warriors in front of the emperor and became a glorious house slave warrior, a soldier of the new era, and a member of the Son of Heaven. This time, more than 32,000 people became candidates for the Warriors.

At the end of the autumn of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji entered the Kou!

This year, everything is different, Mao Wenlong is still alive, and Yuan Chonghuan is no longer the Jiliao Governor......

In a certain plain of Jizhen, the decisive battle began inadvertently, and this decisive battle came faster than everyone expected!

To the north is the camp of Huang Taiji, which contains 30,000 Manchurian Eight Banners, 15,000 Mongolian Eight Banners, 15,000 Han Eight Banners, and 20,000 cannon fodder cavalry conscripted by Mongolia, a total of 80,000 troops, falsely claiming to be 200,000 iron cavalry.

To the south is Chongzhen's camp, which contains 20,000 warriors, 54,000 warrior candidates, and 30,000 dragoons, a total of 110,000, known as 300,000!

If you just look at the claims, this is a war between half a million regular soldiers!

If you add the people, this is a big battle with a total number of millions!

This battle will directly determine the fortunes of Houjin and Daming in the next ten years. If we take into account the general environment at the moment, this is a struggle for hegemony in East Asia!

......

Although my Dajin is far superior to the Ming Dynasty in all aspects, its population is not comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty, so the Khan will order that in this battle, the heads of the four imperial warrior candidates will be rewarded with a future, and the heads of the two imperial warriors will also be rewarded with a future. Let the minions below do a good job, and Ben Khan will not hesitate to reward them! Those who have military merits can even directly carry the flag and become a flag bearer!"

......

"It is passed on to the general that a post-gold head can make a warrior candidate directly become a warrior, or it can be exchanged for ten acres of land. One Houjin head can obtain the qualification of a 20-year half-price small household mortgage in Beijing, and three Houjin heads can directly obtain a set of small household houses!"

"Let's make it clear below, I still have at least 8 million acres of land here, 12,000 small houses, waiting for the soldiers, don't worry that I can't get a reward!"

"Cut off your head!"

"Do you want to cut off your head for a house?"

"!"

"Do you want to cut off your head for land?"

"!"
