Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 188 New Experience
Fortunately, such tormented days did not last long.After school that day, the prince told them that his father had summoned them.

The brothers asked each other at the same time:

"you you……"

"You didn't do anything bad?"

"What's wrong with you again?"

"Lao Liu, you haven't played tricks anymore, have you?"

After getting "no, no..."

"No."

"I didn't do anything."

"I just want to live a peaceful life for a few days now." After the reply, they were relieved and followed the prince to the Hall of Martial Arts.

Seeing that Lao Qi was also following, Zhu Biao patted his head and said with a smile, "Lao Qi, Father didn't ask you to go."

"I'll just follow..." King Qi said in a muffled voice, thinking that he couldn't give his concubine any excuses.

"Alright." Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Learn more from your Sixth Brother, maybe you can also ride a donkey in the palace."

King Qi glanced at King Chu who was sitting triumphantly on the back of the bull, not knowing what to learn from this kind of scum.

And he even abducted his eighth brother...

Hmph, what's so good about riding an ox? I'll let my father agree later that I will ride a donkey in the palace!

Hall of Martial Arts.

After the princes saluted like ceremonies, Zhu Yuanzhang looked up from the case, took off the flower glasses and looked at the sons, showing a kind smile and said:

"They're all here. Hey, why are you two here to join in the fun. Seventh, take your brother back to do homework quickly."

"Father, my mother and concubine said, the sixth...I have to be where my brother is." The seventh said aggrievedly: "Otherwise, I will beat me."

"Nonsense, why didn't you follow when Lao Liu was grazing cattle in his hometown." Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile, "Hurry up and get out, Father wants to discuss business with your brothers."

"Oh..." Lao Qi had no choice but to nod in response, thinking that this time the emperor had spoken, the mother and concubine would have no reason, right?

When he turned around sullenly, he saw Lao Liu winking at him, he couldn't help but feel a little shy, and finally realized the sadness of being excluded...

'Is this what the concubine mother is worried about? ' He sighed secretly, had no choice but to hold back tears, and led Lao Ba to go...

The prince couldn't help shaking his head, Concubine Da Ding pushed Lao Qi too tightly, something would happen if this continued.

~~
As soon as the old seven and the eighth left, the kindness on Boss Zhu's face was fleeting. With a donkey face and bull eyes, he glanced at the remaining sons.

These are the goods he harvested in Fengyang in autumn.Zhu Yuanzhang scolded bluntly: "A group of traitors!
"We are so kind to you, but you repay your kindness and raise you a bunch of white-eyed wolves for nothing!"

Before returning to Beijing, he, Boss Zhu, put down his face and made promises to his sons, and also to enhance their relationship. Isn't he just trying to trick them, can he help him pass the test smoothly, at least it can't be a hindrance, right?
It turned out that they were lucky. As soon as they saw her, Ma Xiuying, they threw their father's love out of the sky, and held a complaint meeting on the spot.As a result, Boss Zhu still has a dull pain in his buttocks.

"..." The sons all lowered their heads like quails, not daring to answer.How could he have the courage to expose and criticize his father's evil deeds that day.

It was the courage given to them by their mother, not their own.The queen mother is not present, so naturally I don't have the courage...

"Also, we heard from Mr. Song that all of you have lost your mind in the past few days when you returned to the main hall, and your studies are in a mess." Zhu Yuanzhang scolded again:

"Even the former good student like the third child, he started not to learn well, and he knows how to brag all day long. Are you guilty?"

"Convicted..." Brothers said, as if they were beating eggplants with frost.

"Will you accept the punishment?" Zhu Yuanzhang grinned.

"Admit the punishment."

"Humph, I'll make a note of this beating." Zhu Yuanzhang was still on parole for medical treatment, how could he dare to pick quarrels and make troubles again, adding to the crime?I can only reprimand him temporarily to regain some of my father's dignity.Then he changed the subject and said:

"If you don't want to miss it, don't read it. Don't even think about setting foot in Dahondo!"

Two-four-six-heartedly said, "Fuck, is there such a good thing?"
The third child, however, felt as if he was mourning his concubine, and hurriedly knelt down and cried, "Father, please give this son another chance! I promise to hang my head on the beam and pierce my buttocks. No, I will use scissors. If you don't study, what's the point of living..."

[-] felt bored for a while, paralyzed yesterday and said that being a bad student was really fun...

"Didn't we appoint Liang Yin as Jin Wangfu? Isn't it enough for you to study with him at night!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.Parents always prefer some children who are studious.

"What about during the day?" The brothers all looked at the emperor together, it seemed that they were not allowed to go to the main hall, not punishment, but other arrangements.

"Continue to practice." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

"Where are you going..." The brothers trembled for a while, they just came back and haven't rested for a few days, why are they coming again?

"I'm not going anywhere this time, just in Beijing." Zhu Yuanzhang said very complacently: "The cornerstone of the country is farmers and soldiers. If there are no farmers farming the land, all the people in the country will starve to death; if there are no soldiers to defend the country, what the farmers plant Crops will also be taken away by the enemy.

"In the future, when you go out of the town, you must love the soldiers and be sympathetic to the peasants. As long as you do these two things, this feudal king will not be bad. Remember it?"

"Yes, my son, please remember." The elder brothers hurriedly responded respectfully.

"In the past, you have deeply realized the difficulty of farmers. So this time, it is time to understand the difficulty of soldiers." Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Anyway, you can't learn it anymore, so don't waste time in the main hall, hurry up Time to enlist in the army, just in time for this year's autumn drills and winter performances!"

"That's great, father!" Zhu Xi was so excited that he couldn't stutter anymore, and the fourth child also grinned happily. For these two children who grew up in the military camp, joining the army is like going back to their mother's home.

Thinking of finally being able to devote themselves to the vigorous autumn and winter military training, the two were so excited that they wished they could kiss their old father.

~~
The so-called autumn exercises and winter performances are a tradition in Boss Zhu's army.

When he was still working under Guo Zixing, Zhu Yuanzhang witnessed the rebel army mixed with fish and dragons, and was defeated several times by a small number of elite Yuan troops.

Since then, he has realized a truth-"Soldiers are not expensive if they are many, but they are expensive; if they are many, they are not good, and they are in vain." '

So for many years, he has been strictly demanding that the generals under his command must seize the gaps between battles and train elite soldiers hard.In order to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the army, he often appeared suddenly in various armies without saying hello, holding military parades on the spot to test the training status and combat skills of the troops.

Unqualified generals will be demoted for training at least, and served with batons at worst, and then assigned to be the chief soldiers...

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number of wars dropped sharply, so the significance of training exercises became even greater.

In the sixth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the world was established, fearing that Chinese and foreign soldiers would learn to be comfortable and abandon martial arts, so he promulgated the "Training Sergeant Law", which stipulated in detail the standards and norms for military training of officers and soldiers at all levels, as well as relatively objective rewards and punishments.

And asked the provincial guards to take turns to "go to the imperial test", that is, to go to Beijing to accept the emperor's review and conduct martial arts exercises.Generally, the guards who had their turn set off after the autumn harvest and arrived in Nanjing for training for a period of time.Then there are exercises and competitions in winter, which is the so-called "autumn exercises and winter exercises".

Since then, the promotion and appointment of officers and soldiers of the Ming army has basically been linked to the results of the annual autumn exercises and winter exercises.Whether it was a mule or a horse, they all had to be taken out for a walk, and there was no place for those who pretended to be the number, which greatly maintained the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

Ps. In the Ming Dynasty, there was no chief envoy in this year. It was called Xingzhong Shusheng, or province for short. It was the chief envoy that was changed later.Believe me, old people from the Ming Dynasty, what they are talking about is authentic...
