Chapter 182: Janissary Regulations
"Takagaki, do you know the duties of the Praetorian Guard?"
"Returning to the generals, loyal to the empire, brave to fight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Qinghui soldiers are all like this, where is the honor of the Praetorian Guard Legion! ”
The little eunuch held the king's handwritten appointment letter, and quickly completed the formalities for his appointment, and parted Gao Yuan quietly handed over the hardship fee, a silver ticket of five hundred taels, not light, not heavy, not a bribe, not stingy, the essence of Li Changgong's training last night.
After picking up the token and changing into his armor, Gao Yuan hurriedly went to see Yu Lin, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and gave a military salute to reply to an inquiry, followed by a severe punishment and heavy responsibility.
Pull off the armor and press to the ground, crackling first came the ten military sticks, Gao Yuan secretly luckily protected himself, but the pain was still inevitable, and he couldn't hold back his voice.
"Praetorian Duty: Swear allegiance to the King!"
"Swear allegiance to the king!"
Takagaki repeated it loudly, he was hit with ten military sticks on his buttocks, and he shouted again that it was ten military sticks, and after the execution, two personal guards came to help him put on his clothes and armor and re-see the main general.
"The Praetorian Guard only obeys the orders of His Majesty the King, regardless of whether he is the crown prince or the military order, and if he dares to interfere in the military affairs of the Praetorian Guard, he will not be rebellious. The lieutenants only recognize the military orders and not the officials, but if the military orders are not against the king, they have the right to refuse to carry them out and report to His Majesty secretly, whether they are loyal or traitors, and decide by their own will. ”
General Xie admonished, and Gao Yuan knew his mistake. ”
Yu Lin was convinced that if there was a mistake, he would be punished, and according to Qinghui's military law, he should be beaten with thirty military sticks.
"Admit your mistakes or not, this general doesn't care, if you make a mistake and fight again, and if you don't change your teaching, please behead it to show the public, and you are not afraid of anyone who has resentment. ”
Repeatedly beheaded to show the public, Gao Yuanxin said that if he made a mistake a few times, he would not change his life, and he didn't dare to ask if he had doubts, and he couldn't bear it if he came with thirty military sticks.
"There is no disadvantage for the soldiers to fight together, you have doubts, but you dare not ask, it is a lack of trust in the boss, according to the law should be strictly punished, remember that you did not know the general before, let me write it down, and make mistakes in the future, hehe, you have to bear the combination of the two crimes. ”
"Takagaki is stupid, please advise the general. ”
"In the army, there is no mistake intentionally or unintentionally, but the same mistake is made at most twice, and the third time it has to be corrected in the next life. Do you still have any doubts about General Ben's reply?"
"It's only three things, Takagaki remembers the general's teachings. ”
"Military and Political Division, it is an honor for my Praetorian Guard Corps to break the military academy captain into the camp, and the reward is three thousand taels in addition to the usual practice. ”
After receiving thirty military sticks, and one mistake was not punished, the Secretary of Military Affairs handed over a silver ticket in public, 13,000 taels, and Gao Yuan hurriedly excused himself: "General, Gao Yuan has not made an inch of merit when he first came, and it is difficult to deserve this heavy reward." Seeing that he didn't dare to hold back his words in his heart, Yu Lin explained with a slight smile: "When the captain of the Praetorian Guard joins the army, the royal family will reward 10,000 taels of settling-in allowance as usual, and you are still a guard with a knife in front of the emperor, so naturally there will be other rewards, and the punishment will be heavy." ”
"The king's grace is like a mountain, and Takagaki swears allegiance to the death. ”
"Your Majesty reviewed today, you have not yet gone to the front camp to take office, this general has the intention to let you beat the drum to strengthen the army, and read your leading army method, I don't know if you can bear it, whether you should be ordered not to be reluctant. ”
"Takagaki is willing to hold the drumstick himself, please give the order from the general. ”
"Okay, if the captain beats the drum, the morale will be shaken, and I will go to the front camp with this general. ”
Horns and war drums, military orders are relied on to pass, non-cronies are not allowed to take charge, Yu Lin let Gao Yuan beat the drum, trust can be seen, the envy and worry of the various divisions of the Legion Department, the thirty military sticks are absolutely not partial, how Gao Yuan's drumming is related to the honor of the Praetorian Guard, if His Majesty makes a mistake during the review, it is not only his bad luck.
In the field of the Praetorian Guard, the military flag fluttered and the swords and guns were shining, the three thousand elite armor were distinct, and the five standards were all lined up horizontally and vertically. Murderous, as soon as he entered the school field, he felt a strong murderous aura, Gao Yuan couldn't help but secretly raise his anger, I am afraid that the generals of the Praetorian Guard have all fought in the battle array.
The old king ascended the platform, the commander of the front battalion raised the command flag, the drums of war were like spring thunder in the school field, and the front battalion marked the drums and performed in front of the general platform one after another.
There are three hundred and six drums, and there is a whistle drummer on each side of the war drums, and one side beats a pass to change people, and the drummer behind Gao Yuan does not move, and the five standard drills are completed, and the drum is continuously beaten with 1,800 mallets.
After the standard drill, the old king waved his hand and did not speak, Yu Lin said that the whole battalion would exercise, and the commander of the front battalion kept changing the five-color flag in his hand, and the drum beat was faster or slower, and the fish scale array, cone-shaped array, and door lock array under the stage were ...... Infantry battle formations are varied. The standard team drills the drum rhythm is single, only need to work hard and don't have to worry, the whole battalion will be much more difficult, the drum to follow the flag, the standard commanders under the stage are watching the flag change, but the sergeant is moving on the drum, if the flag and the war drum are out of touch, the battle formation will be scattered for a while.
Gao Yuan's head was steaming, his underwear was soaked with sweat, his eyes were staring at the flag bearer holding a drumstick, his mind was nervous, and his physical strength was lost faster, and the drummers behind him were terrified, and they all secretly prayed for him, holding on to not making mistakes, and slandering the command that the commander was not allowed to replace Gao Yuan.
"Good!"
The old king sat still, glancing at Gao Yuan's back from time to time out of the corner of his eyes, more than three thousand mallets, his legs seemed to be immovable, and his knees trembled slightly, but he couldn't hide it, and then he didn't open his mouth to stop, and he was afraid that the next scene would be ugly, and Gao Yuan was able to hold on to the present, which was beyond the king's expectations.
"The appearance of the army is neat, the battle array is strictly organized, the reward is 100,000 taels of silver, and the soldiers are given robes. ”
Yu Lin conveyed his will loudly, and the soldiers of the front battalion half-knelt down to thank him, but there was no expected cheer and thunder, and there was only a short and neat shout in the school field: "Swear allegiance to the king!"
Gao Yuan put down the drumstick, knelt down to thank the emperor for his grace and got up according to the order, his body couldn't help shaking a few times, and on the review stand, the eyes of the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were squinted and closed.
After the review is completed, after the reward, it stands to reason that the king will drive away, who knows that today it seems that there is no intention of leaving, Yu Lin and the commander of the front battalion are hesitating, could it be-
"When the captain of the military academy enters the camp, stay alone for a while, see how his martial arts are, and pass the message: the soldiers of the former battalion can all challenge, and the winner will take his name in his place. ”
The will was announced, the front battalion countless fiery eyes stared at Gao Yuan, after a while, there were only a dozen left, there are no vain soldiers under the fame, and they can make a lot of achievements in the grassland, if it is a fluke, no one believes it, if you are not sure of winning, don't take it upon yourself, the officers who dare to challenge think that they have a chance of winning six or seven percent, Gao Yuan is too young after all, even if the talent for martial arts is good, it will not surpass the martial arts school.
"High school lieutenant, you have just received a military stick, and you have more than 3,000 drums, and your physical strength is very high, do you want to rest for a while before taking on the challenge?"
The king reviewed, how dare Yu Lin let Gao Yuan beat the drum continuously after being tortured, he also had a mistake, but there was a secret decree from the palace, only to act in accordance with the order, seeing that Gao Yuan really did not disgrace his mission, he would naturally take care of it while being happy.
"General Xie, Gao Yuan is not good at martial arts, and he is really tired, please allow the general to rest for a while. ”
Breaking the military captain, how famous he was, although he continued to beat the drum after being tortured, but admitting in front of His Majesty the king that he was tired did not weaken the momentum of the Praetorian Guard! Takagaki replied that everyone expected, after resting to face the battle, did he forget that the king was still sitting on the general's platform. There is a bit of contempt in the eyes of the officers who want to challenge, even if they are defeated by you for a while, they will never lose you when it comes to courage.
Yu Lin had some good intentions, but he didn't expect Gao Yuan to beat the snake with the stick, but the old king spoke in time: "General Yu, send someone to prepare the site ordnance, I haven't eaten with the soldiers for many years, and today I will taste the food of the former camp." After Yu Lin left, the old king looked at the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs: "Bold enough, but also careful enough, I am thinking alone, if Yu Lin is embarrassed to remind him, will he take the initiative to rest." The Minister of Civil Affairs replied: "The captain of the broken military academy is telling the truth, he beat the drum for more than 3,000 times in a row, he is really tired, and the generals of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and Qin Guogong had this courage back then." ”
Sitting cross-legged under the stage and closing his eyes for a moment of pranayama, Gao Yuan felt that his back and legs were sore and his arms were numb, and the benefit was that his spirit recovered, Yu Lin immediately ordered: "In the competition of martial arts, no intention is to cause people to be disabled, but swords and guns are inevitably injured without eyes, and the loser must not hold grudges, and you must know that military law is ruthless." ”
On the weapon rack, the swords, guns, swords and halberds are not opened, which is obviously used in ordinary training, and the competition is not a battle between the two armies, and real swords and real guns are easy to be injured by mistake. Gao Yuan was about to take a long knife and let the sergeant next to him stop him: "Captain, what weapon the challenger uses, you have to use what weapon to meet the battle." After speaking, he looked at the other side, and explained in a low voice: "Commander He Biao chose a spear, and the captain can only use a spear to meet the battle, unless he agrees with you to change weapons, which is the rule of the Praetorian Guard." ”
It's the rules of the Praetorian Guards again, how many rules are there compared to ordinary legions? Gao Yuan casually drew a spear and walked into the marked arena reflexively.
"The three standards of the front battalion, the standard commander He Jin, please break the military academy captain for advice. "There is a strict hierarchy in the army, although it is said that he acts according to the rules, but after all, he is challenging his boss, and He Jin is well-mannered. If you can't dodge, you won't hide, and now Gao Yuan can only fight, and after returning the salute, he retreated with a gun: "Please-"
He Jin's spear was stabbed in the chest, Gao Yuan wanted to block the gun horizontally, but he pulled back the gun halfway, and three moves in a row were like this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but have a good impression of this thirty-year-old standard chief, who was old and had no contempt, the martial artist's etiquette was impeccable, seeing this, he stabbed out obliquely with both hands in his hand, but the tip of the gun was pointed at He Jin's feet, and even stabbing three shots was also a false move, and it was actually a return with the etiquette of peers.
"He Jin offended Captain Huwei!"
Before the gun arrived, he reminded Gao Yuan, the spear in He Jin's hand swept, and the wind was cold and unwelcome, Gao Yuan pressed the gun shaft and bounced up, avoiding the attack and using the color, the spear was pulled off the head. The two fought back and forth with guns for dozens of moves, and He Jin took advantage of the gap to draw his gun and retreated to the sidelines.
He Jin admits defeat. ”
"It's just a fluke, He Biaochang is polite. ”
The two seemed to be fighting fiercely, but the spear did not have too much contact, more like seeing the move, it should be a draw, He Jin suddenly admitted defeat, so that many people could not understand, and the insider had long seen that He Jin would lose, Gao Yuan was deliberately delaying to save face for him, and the dismantling was more point-in-point, so he did not admit defeat for a long time.
"Hua Zifei's soul-chasing marksmanship, He Jin was not wronged. The old king's words were broken, and the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs took over: "There is a form without a god, he has not learned the essence of soul-chasing marksmanship, but he uses a spear to show the knife technique, and he can turn a gun into a knife is a great talent." ”
After He Jin admits defeat, there are several standard commanders to challenge, weapons or knives or guns or hammers, Gao Yuan holds the corresponding weapons to face the battle, and many officers in the audience can see that no matter what kind of weapon he is holding, in addition to the competition with He Jin, the moves he performs are more like knife techniques, but it cannot be said that he violates the rules, weapons are restrictions, but the moves are ever-changing, using a gun to make it out is marksmanship, and using a knife to make it out is knife method.
Li Haofan, the former deputy commander of the battalion, has been staring at Gao Yuan, carefully figuring out the moves he cast, and always feels that there is no trace, as if he is completely waving his hands, but the more he looks at it, the more frightened he feels, the master can teach eighteen kinds of martial arts, and it is even more unusual to see the understanding and chance, and it is even more unusual to simplify the complex. Takagaki is only twenty years old to achieve this achievement, and in time-
In his early thirties, he won the qualification of a military general, and how much credit he made for the royal family, before he became the deputy commander of the battalion before the Praetorian Guard, and a student soldier who had not yet graduated from the standard battalion was not only at the same level as him, but also won the title of Broken Military Academy. Not to mention the hatred of his brother's actual death, Gao Yuan entered the front camp, how can he Li Haofan come out in the future, and the command envoy position that he has been coveting for two years is about to be handed over, and he is suddenly transferred to a broken military academy lieutenant, and he doesn't have to think that he will not be succeeded by Li Haofan in the future.
Hatred and jealousy, once they sprout in the bottom of their hearts, sooner or later they will always break through the constraints of reason, Li Haofan can't see Gao Yuan's moves, but he can see that his strength can't reach the martial arts, he was punished with three thousand drums, and he responded to the challenges of several officers one after another, and his physical strength should be very little.
