Chapter 200
In this era dominated by cold weapons, the best standard to measure the combat effectiveness of an army is its military capacity and discipline.

The army was assembled quickly, and tens of thousands of people lined up neatly, listening to Cao Guogong's lecture in silence.

It wasn't until Li Wenzhong told them that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to inspect in person today, there were ripples of excitement in the calm array.

When Zhu Biao stepped forward to speak, the army was quiet again in an instant. All the soldiers held their breath, opened their eyes wide, and looked up at their Highness the Crown Prince without blinking.

After Zhu Biao warmly encouraged the soldiers to practice martial arts to strengthen the army and make new achievements, under the leadership of the officers, the soldiers shouted "Long live the emperor and a thousand years for the prince" together, over and over again, wave after wave.

Zhu Zhen couldn't help sighing secretly, the popularity of the elder brother in the army is really staggering.

If this were placed in other dynasties, it is estimated that the emperor would not be able to sleep...

But for Daming, the adopted son of the thief, Boss Zhu will not only be unable to sleep, but will sleep more soundly.

Haha, we have a successor, so there is nothing to worry about.

Lao Zhu was even a little dissatisfied, feeling that the prince was a bit soft.It would be even more perfect if the boss can force another palace, usurp a place or something...

~~
After the prince's lecture, all the guards took them back to continue training, only Habayashi stayed.

Today is the day they accept the assessment of the Metropolitan Government.

The reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince happened to come to inspect is because the second and fourth children are in this army.

Today is the bow and arrow assessment. The officers and soldiers of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion set up a hundred archery targets on the east side of Dianjiangtai. After the officials in charge of recording are in place, the assessment will officially begin.

The first person to accept the assessment was Xie Yan, the official of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the guard in charge of Yulin.

The founder of the country, the official of the second rank, also has to be tested in public. If it is diarrhea, how can it convince the public?

But none of the generals of the Ming army in this era were vegetarians.I saw Xie Yan galloping on his horse, stretching his bow and setting his arrows, first he shot six arrows one after another, all as far as two hundred paces.

Then he shot three arrows at the target seventy steps away, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye.At this time, he was fifty steps away from the target, and he simply drew out three arrows, and put them on the bowstring at the same time, performing a series of arrows!

Shoot three arrows and hit the target at the same time!
There was a roar of applause in the school grounds, and the prince also said happily: "Rewarding the treasures is consistent!"

Xie Yanlema Xie En stepped aside to watch the officers under his command take the test, and the results were all excellent without exception.

~~
Zhu Zhen and Zhu sat beside the prince, and the brothers watched and chatted.

"This test is a bit easier for elites like Habayashi Wei," Zhu Sha said in a serious manner: "In the first few years, some officers occasionally failed, but after practicing for a few years, all of them are excellent. It's difficult."

"You can't just look at the imperial guards." The prince smiled and said: "The guards are all well-chosen, rigorously trained, strong, and with extraordinary martial arts. It is still a bit difficult for the officers and soldiers of ordinary guards to meet the current standards. of."

"Is this standard difficult?" Zhu Zhen asked in a low voice.Officer Habayashi's excellent performance gave him the illusion that I can do it myself.

"Isn't it difficult, you'll find out when you go up and try it later." The third brother teased and laughed.

"Forget it, I'm not good at shooting." Zhu Zhen still had self-knowledge after all.

~~
After the Habayashi guard officer's test was over, the soldiers began to ride two types of tests step by step.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Zhen's attention was all on the soldiers without horses, because Zhu Xi and Zhu Di were all infantry.

Newcomers have to start as infantrymen, and have to work hard for several years before they can be selected as noble cavalrymen...

The brothers saw the infantry of the Habayashi Guards standing in a row behind a white line in units of hundreds of households, and behind each of them stood an officer for examination.

I saw the soldiers bent their bows and set their arrows one after another under the order of Baihu, the first six arrows measured the range, and the last six arrows shot at the target.After the twelve arrows were shot, the soldiers hurried forward to recover the feather arrows and evacuated the field.

Then the soldiers from the next [-] households entered the field for testing...

At the sixth wave, Zhu suddenly shook Zhu Zhen's shoulder excitedly, and said in a low voice, "Here we come."

"Don't shake it, I saw it..." Zhu Zhen said helplessly.

Although Habayashi was all tall and carefully selected, the second brother's generous head was still very conspicuous in the queue.

I saw His Highness Qin Wang, who was half a head taller than the surrounding robes, wearing a black hood decorated with copper bubbles and a red water-milled helmet, the standard of the Habayashi Guards. A feathered arrow, bow and arrow.

When the command flag fell, the soldiers shot feather arrows one after another, and King Qin was no exception.

After a while, the bows and arrows landed one after another at a distance of [-] or [-] steps, but Zhu Xi's arrow continued to move forward and flew to [-] steps before landing.

Then the second arrow, the third arrow... every arrow of the second child was as far as two hundred steps away.

And seeing that he moves with ease, it seems that he hasn't exerted much strength yet.

"The reason why you can shoot two hundred paces is because this standard bow can only shoot two hundred paces." Zhu explained to Lao Liu with a smile: "If it is replaced with the iron spine bow we usually play, hehe..."

"Excellent." The sixth son expressed the envy of the king.

"Want to learn? Third brother can teach you." Zhu asked with a smile.

"You don't have any intentions, do you?" Zhu Zhen looked at him suspiciously, the youngest always gave people a very unreliable feeling.

"Nonsense, it's too late for the third brother to hurt you." Zhu laughed, and suddenly there was applause in the field, and the two hurriedly looked over.

I saw that the wooden archery target fifty paces away was shot through by someone.

"Who did it?" Zhu hurriedly asked.

"Second brother did it." The prince said proudly.

"Let that big man shoot back fifty steps." Li Wenzhong was very good at things, and immediately ordered to give the second child a chance to perform alone.

Zhu Xi retreated a hundred steps away and opened his bow, and still hit the target steadily!

"Okay! Marksman!" Zhu and Zhu Zhen shamelessly bragged about their second child.

"It's a marksman." Li Wenzhong naturally praised his second cousin.

~~
Not long after the second child went down, it was the turn of the fourth child.

The height of the fourth child is not so conspicuous among Habayashi guards.

But as soon as he made a move, he surprised everyone with his skills. The first six arrows were as far as two hundred paces away.
Not only did the last six arrows hit the target, but each arrow hit the bull's-eye.

It can be said that they are evenly divided with the second child.

Cao Guogong naturally wanted a bowl of water to be flat, and he also gave the fourth brother a chance to show off.

The fourth child will naturally not disappoint, all six arrows hit the bull's-eye a hundred paces away!
"Okay! What a strong man! Li Guang is nothing more than that!" Lao Liu clapped his hands vigorously and cheered with all his might.

Because the third brother's applause was too perfunctory, he had to make up for the fourth brother!

"You look like you haven't seen the world before." Zhu applauded feebly, while disdainfully said: "The third brother shoots for you some other day, who is the contemporary Li Guang."

Zhu Zhen gave him a big roll of the eyes, a guy who doesn't give his brother full applause is a scumbag.

ps. This weekend, the update is crumbs, I will knock one for everyone.
