Chapter 199

On the crane, the prince's hearty laughter came out.

"Stinky boy, hahaha." Zhu Biao burst into laughter at Zhu Zhen's teasing, rubbed his plump chin and said, "Brother will die laughing at you sooner or later."

"Oh, it's true..." Zhu Zhen sighed depressedly, "Brother doesn't believe it."

What's going on in this world?Why is it that no one seems to believe me when I tell the truth?

At this time, there was a sound outside the carriage.

"Prince, His Highness Prince Jin is here."

"Oh?" Zhu Biao stopped laughing, wiped his tears and said, "Tell him to get in the car."

The car door opened, and the handsome and cheap face of His Royal Highness King Jin appeared in front of the two of them.

"Brother. Hey, is the sixth child here?" The third child slipped into the car and sat on the other side of Zhu Zhen, and together with Zhu Biao raped the sixth child.

"Old man, you have a very good nose, I can find it everywhere." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"That's right, didn't everyone say that I was the shadow of the eldest brother when I was young." Zhu proudly smiled, as if he liked the title very much. "Brother, where are you going?"

"Inspect the guards participating in the exercise on behalf of the father." Zhu Biao smiled.

"Really?" Zhu Deng became interested, winked and asked, "Will you inspect Habayashi Guard?"

"What do you think?" Zhu Biao also smiled at him.

"Haha, it's interesting, then I'll take a look." Zhu happily put his arms around the sixth child and said, "Let's go and see how your two brothers are doing as big soldiers."

"Oh." Zhu Zhen couldn't break free even if he wanted to, so he could only nod obediently.

~~
At present, Nanjing's army can be divided into three types: the Jingying, the pro-army, and the squadron.

Jingying is the capital garrison under the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, with a total of 48 guards, about [-] people.Its main duty is to defend the capital, and at the same time, it also fights with the generals, and its combat effectiveness is far superior to that of the local guards.

The pro-army is the army directly under the emperor's control.Including the five guards of the pro-military Duwei Mansion, there are a total of 8 guards, about [-] people.Its duty is naturally to defend the emperor, and he went to conquer with the emperor himself.

In addition, every year, 16 guards in the central capital and various provinces are assigned to the capital for drills in turn, called "squad troops".

So at this time, there are about 44 troops in the capital, and they are all elites. If the logistics can be guaranteed, it will be enough to wipe out any country in the world.

Of course, not all the Beijing camp and the pro-army participated in the drill.According to the provisions of the "Coach Sergeant Law", each guard will transfer one-fifth of officers and soldiers every year to take turns to participate in the drill.So it is nearly [-] troops.

Plus 16 troops, a total of 22 troops, camped and drilled outside Nanjing.

It's really a hundred miles in a row, it's spectacular!
~~
When the prince and his party arrived at the gate of the camp, Cao Guogong, Song Guogong, and Wei Guogong, three military leaders, had been waiting here for a long time.

The military camp is not a place of formality.It is inconvenient for the three princes to kneel down in armor, so they can only use military salutes instead.

After paying homage to the three Highnesses, the three Dukes led them into the barracks.

I am ashamed to say that although my brothers all grew up in the military camp, this is the first time for Zhu Zhen to enter the military camp of the Ming army, and everything he sees is new...

Of course, he couldn't see any tricks.After all, he had only entered Mingjiao military camps before.

That kind of loose grass team is completely different from the invincible elite Ming army.

Zhu Zhen only felt that the barracks was heavily fortified, with dense guard posts.Moreover, the officers and soldiers standing guard are all wearing armor, holding gleaming swords, bows and arrows, and the bows are drawn to the full moon, as if they are facing an enemy!
Seeing the surprised gaze of the sixth son, the eldest cousin said softly: "Our training and exercises are as close to actual combat as possible. No one knows whether someone will come to steal the camp in the next moment, so we must always be vigilant."

"Oh." Zhu Zhen nodded endlessly. "It's been a lot of hard work."

"Compared to training, what's so hard about standing guard?" Feng Shengweng said in a low voice:

"The emperor clearly requires our army that 'cavalry soldiers must be good at shooting guns and knives, and infantry soldiers must be good at bows and spears.

"And the emperor has strict assessment standards. For example, when shooting a bow, each person shoots twelve arrows at a time. The officer must have six arrows to shoot 160 steps away; the soldier must be closer, 120 steps away. In addition, there must be six arrows. Only when you hit a target fifty paces away can you pass the test."

"If you are assessing crossbow shooting, you still need to shoot twelve arrows per person. Five arrows must be shot far enough. Specifically, it is 150 steps for crossbow shooting and [-] steps for crossbow rowing; A target ten paces away is considered a test." Deng Yu went on to introduce:
"And this is just the most basic. The standard of excellence is much higher. If you have excellent grades, you can get rewards. If you are excellent in all three items, you can be directly promoted from ordinary soldiers to small banner officers, or even general banner officers."

"Then what if it fails?" Zhu Zhen asked with interest.

"The emperor naturally also stipulated punishment measures. For example, if [-]% of the troops fail, the officers' salaries will be deprived for one year; if the failure reaches [-]%, the officers will be dismissed on the spot, and the soldiers will be sent to Guizhou, Guangxi and other smoky places to serve. And of course the reverse is also true, when the troops perform well, the officers get promoted."

"Tsk tsk, father is so delicate." Zhu Zhen couldn't help sighing.

"This is just a simple analogy to you. You have to read "The Law of Coaches and Sergeants" yourself to know how meticulous your father is." The third brother understands these things very well, and can even recite them backwards.

~~
While talking, everyone came to the school field, and saw tens of thousands of soldiers practicing in full swing, the whole school field was full of smoke and dust, drums and horns were buzzing, and the sound of killing was loud.

It is exactly in line with Xin Qiji's sentence, "Eight hundred miles of fire under the command, fifty strings turning over the fortress, and soldiers in autumn on the battlefield."

Surrounded by the crowd, Zhu Biao boarded the general platform.

Cao Guogong waved his hand, and ten messengers blew their horns together.

Then Zhu Zhen was stunned to see that the school field, which was still shouting and killing was deafening, became quiet in an instant, leaving only the continuous sound of footsteps like raindrops.

He saw the officers waving the flags, and the soldiers followed the flags to form a team quickly, and then the teams quickly gathered in front of the general's platform.

The understanding third brother whispered to the sixth son: "There is no sound of orders on the battlefield, so our army uses flags to deliver orders."

Zhu Zhen nodded, expressing his understanding.

Soon, the tens of thousands of troops assembled, with thousands of people as the unit, neatly arranged into dark squares, standing silently in front of the commander's platform.

This scene shocked Zhu Zhen very much.

He knew that the Ming army was strong before, but he never thought that the Ming army would be so strong...

This level of uniform formation, which is like arm and finger, is afraid that only another army 600 years later can stabilize them at one end, right?
At this moment, he finally understood that the old thief's success was not accidental...

ps.Chapter 5, a bit late... But I didn't break my promise.
