Chapter 25: Archery on horseback
Yang Miao and the three of them arrived at the stable, and after Aitai checked it, he chose a dark horse with a slightly gentle personality.
In terms of horseback riding, Jia Zhenli is also very experienced, their family itself is a family of generals, and all of them can ride horses and shoot arrows.
After Jia Zhenli rode the horse, he felt pretty good, "This horse can be used, and it is quite suitable to contact the horse." ”
Aitai said that Yang Miao picked it up and sent it to the horse, Jia Zhenli also followed on the horse, slowly let the horse walk, and Aitai rode another horse to follow.
Zhenli slowly instructed Yang Miao how to grasp the reins, how to adjust the direction, how to clamp the legs and tell the horse to accelerate.
After walking for an hour, I came back, tried to walk, sat on the horse and felt it.
After coming back for lunch, Aitai made a target for archery, considering that he would leave tomorrow, the target was a light one, so that he could take it away and learn on the road.
In the afternoon, Yang Miao followed Ai Tai and Jia Zhenli to learn archery, Yang Miao didn't have the strength to pull the bow, so Jia Zhenli made a small bow for Yang Miao to learn.
Jia Zhenli shot three arrows as a demonstration, Yang Miao began to get started, one shot and one miss, and after many more times, he also had a crosshair.
Jia Renhe is also watching from the side, and will also guide him, watching Yang Miao learn horseback archery so seriously, Jia Renhe is very pleased, after all, as long as Yang Miao works hard and does not waste it, he believes that there is still hope for Daxingguo, and he knows that with the passage of time, the hope of recovering the country is getting slimmer and slimmer. He wanted to help Yang Feiyong and his son a few months ago, and this opportunity for Yang Feiyong and his son should be the best opportunity to return to China in recent years.
Yang Miao is more introverted and very steady, once successful, the country can be waited. But because of introverted, sometimes others have no confidence.
Jia Renhe was also happy to see Yang Miao working so hard, and when he passed away in the future, the Jia family was still relieved to follow Yang Miao.
Yang Miao practiced archery for three hours and stopped to rest for a while.
After washing, Yang Miao began to sort out the books that Jia Zhenqi had found. Yang Miao first chose some books on astronomy and geography, although I had read them before, but there were relatively few of them, but this time there were many books, so I could read them well.
Everyone saw that Yang Miao started to read after archery, so they didn't bother, and under Jia Renhe's arrangement, they began to sort out their things.
In the evening, Yang Miao called Aitai and Jia Zhenli to go around the horse before coming back to eat.
Ah Niu's meal was not very accustomed to eating at noon, but in the evening, after Ah Niu's meal was adjusted a little, Yang Miao also adapted. Ah Niu was very happy to see Yang Miao eating fragrantly.
After dinner, Jia Renhe told everyone some details of tomorrow's journey, and then dismissed everyone to prepare to go, leaving him, Yang Miao, and Jia Zhenli alone.
"Childe, the news of Wencheng has come, everything is normal and safe. Jia Renhe said, "Your family didn't hide it, and just said that you went out to study with a few acquaintances." ”
"Well, this study tour plan was decided by my grandmother and I a long time ago, and there shouldn't be much of a problem according to this plan. Yang Miao said.
"As for Daxing, there is no new news coming," Jia Renhe said, "I gave Zhenli the letter from home, so I let Zhenli follow me before." ”
"Uncle, what is the current situation in your family, you and your two uncles will come out with you, will it have a big impact on the family?" Yang Miao asked.
"This, I was also about to tell Childe," Jia Renhe thought for a moment and spoke.
Our Jia family has been a general of the Great Rejuvenation Kingdom since my late father, and he has a heavy army. After the fall of Daxing, the Jia family also retained some family members and servants, about 500 people, with the internal chaos of Daxingguo, the Jia family received a group of 300 refugees.
The Jia family now mainly relies on the remaining land, some shops, and some businesses in the mainland to maintain the family, and their life is quite passable.
Jia Ren and his wife and concubines have four sons and two daughters, the eldest son and the second son came out, the third and fourth are at home, the two daughters are already married, one is married to the second son of the famous family Kuanwei, and one daughter is only ten years old and young.
The Jia family has also raised a group of about 300 escorts for so many years, and they can be transformed into an army if necessary. The business has also been done in the three neighboring countries of Dachangguo, Daesan and Dagenguo. It is more about providing information and covert protection for the Yang family.
As far as Jia Renhe knows, the last generation of the lord of Daxing Kingdom gave a secret decree to the eight families, these eight families, it is not clear how many families are still left, and it is difficult to say how many families are still loyal to the Daxing royal family, he knows that his Jia family and Kuan family are loyal to the royal family.
After learning about some basic information about the Jia family and Daxing, Yang Miao also went to sleep.
Yang Miao has one thing to confirm, that is, the Jia family is really loyal, at least they are loyal to the Yang royal family of their grandmother's lineage.
Thinking of this, Yang Miao felt a lot more relieved, at least he was safe now, according to the plan he discussed with his grandmother, the next step was to wait for the results of the domestic war in Daxing to be decided.
If Yang Feiyong's father and son successfully returned to China, Yang Miao decided to become a scholar, travel around the world, and return to China to serve Daxing on the day he completed his studies.
If Yang Feiyong's father and son fail, and the Yang family faces a great dilemma, Yang Miao needs to form his own military and economic forces, as well as the letter system he heard today, it is best to infiltrate the letter system of every country on the mainland, and he will seek to restore the country in the future.
At six or five o'clock the next day, Yang Miao got up, opened the window, and saw Master Aitai practicing swords again.
Open the door and go out, "Master Aitai is early," Yang Miao said to Aitai.
"Childe is early. Aitai replied.
When Yang Miao arrived in the lobby, everyone had already gotten up, and everything had been packed, just waiting for everyone to finish breakfast and set off.
Everyone bargained Yang Miao over, "Son, good." Greetings.
"Hello everyone, great work. Yang Miao said.
After Yang Miao washed her face, she stood in the courtyard for a while, and breakfast was ready.
Everyone finished breakfast and was ready to go, because Yang Miao was still not familiar with riding a horse, he still made a carriage and was driven by Chang Fuyou.
When the morning dawned, Jia Ren and his group left the town and headed south.
"Does Childe read? If you do, the little one will drive more slowly. Chang Fuyou asked Yang Miao in the car.
"You don't have to be slow, you can walk at a suitable pace, I don't read in the car, just meditate. Yang Miao said and began to close her eyes and recuperate.
After two hours, the car stopped, and Yang Miao also came down to rest.
Let's drink some water and eat something together.
Jia Renhe saw that Yang Miao was moving his muscles and bones, so he came over and gave Yang Miao some skills for moving his muscles and bones, as well as how the soldiers of the army moved their muscles and bones, so that Yang Miao also learned a lot.
"Uncle, I've read a book of soldiers, and according to the small hill we see now, our current position should be more dangerous, right?" Yang Miao asked.
Jia Renhe looked at Yang Miao, "Childe has also read the book of war?"
"Yes, my grandmother showed it to me, and she said that when she left Beijing, she brought it with her uncle's family, and I also liked to read books at that time, so she showed me the military books, and I played on the sand piles according to the military books. ”
"Childe is right, we are now, the people live in a better terrain, if there is a war, we are now in a low-lying place, and if we are surrounded, the whole army may be wiped out. Jia Renhe said.
"Uncle, I think from today onwards, every time we stop, we must be at a strategic advantage, okay? I want to learn some of the essentials of the art of war from my uncle through the road we have traveled. Yang Miao said.
"Okay, Childe has such a far-sighted vision, Jia is very happy, the next stop starts, we only stay at the strategic advantage. Jia Renhe said.
Yang Miao took a break and began to practice archery.
