The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 463 There is always a tricky minister trying to fool me
In the artillery field, more than 600 soldiers from the Beijing camp are responsible for maintaining the order of the field, and 1000 troops on each side are responsible for forming an array to assist in the completion of the military practice of the school.

"Your Majesty, let the ministers show some performance today. If you pull up a flag on the battlefield, you have to show something. The minister is waiting."

Zhang Heling had a rare opportunity to brag in front of Zhu Youtang, as if he was already a master in the military.

Zhu Youtang looked over with a strange gaze, as if "you kid are crazy, what nonsense are you talking about".

Zhang Yanling asked: "Brother, why pull up the flag?"

Zhang Heling said: "Isn't it just that people on both sides are fighting, and whoever pulls the other's flag wins?"

"Haha."

Zhu Houzhao laughed when he heard the words, "Uncle, are you stupid? Do you think that the military exercise is a game of chess? Capture the flag? The affairs on the battlefield can be solved with a flag, then everyone can become a marquis and a minister. Haha. "

In terms of shamelessness, Zhu Houzhao is a typical example of killing people and never hiding his emotions.

Zhang Heling looked dazed, as if his outlook on life had been subverted.

I'm still waiting for capture the flag to show off, and it turns out that I'm being self-indulgent?
"here we go."

Wang Qiong walked over from Zhang Zhou's side, and said respectfully to Zhu Youtang.

Zhu Youtang said: "The [-]th Regiment's Marquis and Bo are divided into two squads, East and West, and first go into battle with riding and shooting. Heling, you and Yanling will also go."

"Isn't it just riding and archery? It's much easier than you think to capture the flag, Boss. Boss, I'll let you see it."

Zhang Yanling taunted his elder brother while showing incomparable self-confidence.

In his own opinion, I have killed the enemy on horseback, how can I lose face by riding on a bow and horse?

……

……

Ideals are one thing. After getting on the horseback, reality can teach this group of pampered ministers a lesson.

Riding horses in the same place still needs assistance from someone, but when you mount the horses by yourself and complete the basic slashing and archery... There are many martial arts present who are unable to complete these most basic drills.

"Look, father, someone has fallen off the horse!" Zhu Houzhao excitedly pointed to the distance, full of pride that they were not as good as me.

The school inspection has just started, and it is only the basic movements, and already Xunchen has already lost face in front of others, not to mention how ugly Zhu Youtang's face is.

I had expected that you would make a fool of yourself, but it shouldn't be so ugly, right?You are the generals who lead the Beijing camp. If foreigners come to kill you, do you expect a group of generals who will fall off their horses to lead their troops to attack and kill?

Didn't I get fooled by lard?

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The riding and archery began, and each minister rode to the designated place, and the prescribed action was to ride the horse and shoot with the bow, and then...

The situation happened again.

This time, most of the honorable ministers could only stop their horses... There were various places where they stopped, and then they shot their bows. As a result, some of the arrows landed directly after drawing the bows, or some shot out only a few steps away... …

Such a huge target, not to mention being shot at, even if it was shot around and scraped past, there were very few of them.

More than [-] Xunchens in the first class completed the bow shooting, and each shot three arrows. Only six people successfully hit one target, and two people shot two arrows.

As soon as the screen comes out.

Zhu Youtang couldn't bear to watch it. He expected it would be bad, but he still missed it.

"Second class, get on!"

It was the turn of the foreign relatives to play, and this time it was even more lively.

Many people can't even mount a horse, let alone ride and shoot. The Zhang family brothers don't look very useless, but there are very few who can ride horses and gallop. It's just that when it's their turn to shoot arrows, the Zhang family brothers can't even draw an arrow. Not to mention stopping the horse and nodding the arrow.

Some horses collided with each other, and some led the horses to complete the archery. Because the arrow target was about forty steps away from the stop line, and the bow and arrow were relatively hard, most people could not even draw the bow with their arms.

Among this group of people, even Cui Yuan, who wanted to show off himself before, tried his best to support him. He rarely completed basic movements, but the reality was cruel. His three arrows didn't even touch the edge of the target.

"oh oh!"

Even so, the soldiers of the Beijing camp are still serving as the atmosphere group, cheering up this group of people.

But the initial encouragement, in the middle and late stage, seems to be a bit joking.

It sounded more like booing.

……

……

"This is the inspection I expected? Is there anyone else?"

In front of Zhang Mao, Ma Wensheng, Xie Qian, Zhang Zhou and others, Zhu Youtang no longer needed to avoid taboos.

It's just that Zhu Houzhao was still there...

"Father, are these people the only ones?"

Zhu Houzhao was also puzzled.

The prince always thought that the generals of the Ming Dynasty had ambitions but could not express themselves, but they all looked like grandmas, so did they expect them to help me conquer the world in the future?

Li Rong, who was in charge of supervising and inspecting the school, said: "Your Majesty, most of the generals have not yet appeared."

It means that even if the ministers are incompetent, at least there are ordinary generals.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Yes, the British Duke and the others haven't come down yet."

Zhu Houzhao doesn't like to watch the performances of ordinary generals, he just wants to watch the excitement, and in his opinion, those who are not capable should leave early to make room for the people behind.

"Old..."

Zhang Mao's face was dark, and he knew that his end result would not be too good.

"My lord, you don't need to be self-effacing like an old man, let's go."

Zhu Youtang also spoke sarcastically.

No one else can, you old man Zhang still want to hide?When you were young, Xiyuan made three shots and three hits, and now it's time for you to boost the morale of the army.

"The old minister leads the order."

Zhang Mao also belonged to the one who had to bite the bullet. Along with him, Zhu Hui, Duke of Baoguo, was kicked off the shelves.

The two brothers were considered brave in the past, but now they belong to Lian Po's old age. Even if they have the heart of an old man, the years have passed, and time has worn down the physique and fighting spirit of the two brothers.

"drive!"

Zhang Mao rode his horse and took the lead, but it was just to look awesome. He bent his bow and set his arrows. It was impossible to deliberately play handsome, but he could shoot it seventy or eighty paces away. Three arrows... only hit one arrow, and the other two arrows also missed. almost.

Just hit the bullseye and forget about it.

Zhu Hui is in the same situation, also one of three, but Zhu Hui's riding posture can be more sassy.

"Father, you got hit. It's quite powerful. The young ones are not as good as the old ones."

What Zhu Houzhao said made the people around feel ashamed. Fortunately, Zhu Hui and Zhang Mao each shot an arrow. If they missed, these two guys could resign and apologize on the spot.

"The generals of the Beijing camp from all walks of life come in turn. If you have any skills in charge, go ahead."

Zhu Youtang looked impatient.

It seems that everything will have to wait until Zhang Zhou finally comes to cover up his ugliness.

……

……

The martial arts performance was still going on, and Zhu Youtang didn't even bother to watch it.

The situation of ordinary soldiers is not much better, and they usually neglect drills. This is not something that the soldiers of the Beijing camp can decide on their own.

So Zhu Youtang also looked very annoyed.

"... Those who don't come say they are sick. If they can't bear it, then they won't receive their salary in the future, and I don't want to see them again!"

Zhu Youtang was in a bad mood, and his tone was naturally heavy.

Both Zhang Mao and Zhu Hui had just returned to the viewing platform. Hearing this, they felt a little bit ashamed, especially Zhang Mao...why does he always like to excuse his illness to get away from work when he has nothing to do?

Moreover, he, Zhang Mao, is also known as a mean sergeant, and his misdeeds will be engraved in the annals of history, so everyone knows it.

"Father, another batch has come, it seems to be elite cavalry from the Yanwu Hall."

Zhu Houzhao became excited. He still felt familiar with the leaders. He basically saw them all when he went south to Nanjing. They could be said to be the elite of Zhang Zhou's guard force.

Two hundred cavalry came on horseback, and the team didn't look very neat, but they had a lot of momentum.

When the two hundred cavalry arrived at the predetermined location, the movements of reining in and stopping the horses were very uniform.

After stopping, line up in two rows, the first row "bang bang bang..." a volley, the hundreds of straw man targets in front of them were hit with dry grass, and then they were still in the first row, shooting directly for the second round, This time their target was the straw man two hundred paces away, and most of the straw man was directly scattered.

The second row came up, and it was the same. They could still complete two rounds of shooting at the straw man who was nearly [-] paces away.

After this scene, all the onlookers were dumbfounded.

This is not counting.

The two hundred cavalrymen continued galloping to the next shooting point, only a hundred paces along the way, and they arrived in an instant, but the soldiers had already completed the replacement of projectiles.

Two rows of riders, and four rounds of shooting, let the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty see what it means to be crushed by the torrent of the times.

……

……

With the exit of the two hundred fine riders, no one present could speak casually.

Even Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian, who were critical of Zhang Zhou in the past, seemed to want to re-examine Zhang Zhou.

Zhu Youtang originally planned to use rifled guns to cover up his ugliness, but now it seems that he doesn't need it.

These two hundred cavalry had already taught everyone a good lesson in front of nearly all the military generals of the Beijing Camp of the Ming Dynasty.

"Father, it's really powerful. In comparison, riding and shooting are too weak."

Zhu Houzhao has rediscovered the meaning of advocating martial arts, and this brat restrained Zhang Zhou's praise.

Even Zhang Mao and others felt that the little prince had hit the point.

It’s not that we can’t do it, it’s that cavalry and archery are outdated. Such a big change does not depend on one’s ability in cavalry and archery. Even if Lu Bu is pulled out of the grave, he will be willing to bow down.

Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "Bingkuan, tell me, how long did it take you to train them?"

Zhang Zhou looked around at everyone present, and then said: "This is not the result of the minister's training, but the training of the instructors of the Yanwu Hall. The instructors of the Yanwu Hall have such abilities. The advantages of the campfire and the reasonable design of tactics. I just solved a problem."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhu Youtang seemed to agree with this very much, "Wang Boan was brought up by you. He can be said to be flexible on the battlefield."

Li Rong said with a smile: "It is thanks to Cai Guogong who broke the problem. If not, everything will not be able to stand."

"Ah."

Faced with such almost naked flattery, Zhu Youtang didn't make too many complaints, and he also considered helping Zhang Zhou to accumulate character.

Zhu Youtang asked: "Then Bingkuan, what is the next exam for the school, you give me a question."

Zhang Zhoudao: "Your Majesty, today I, like Ma Shangshu and Xie Ge, are here to watch the ceremony. How can I overstep it?"

Li Rongdao: "Your Majesty, do you think this is okay? Since the power of the Shenji Battalion has been seen by all the lords and generals present, it is better to change today's strategy test to the tactics of the Shenji Battalion."

"It's very reasonable. In the future, relying on traditional military tactics to deal with foreign barbarians such as the Tatars is not in my power. I should use my strengths and avoid weaknesses. I agree."

Zhu Youtang was very happy.

I finally found something to make me look good, and this kind of thing still depends on Bingkuan.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, I also have a lot of thoughts about this subject, and I also want to participate in the school examination."

This time Zhu Youtang was not used to this kid's faults, so he said coldly: "Don't mess around. Tell them about the exam questions, prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones for them, and let them write military policies on the spot."

"Follow the order." Li Rong, as the supervisor, participated in the exam and accepted the order happily.

Zhu Houzhao felt that he had lost a chance to show his face, and he seemed very unwilling, pointing at Zhang Mao: "Then what about the two of them?"

For Zhu Youtang, Zhang Zhou's face is enough now, and there is no need to take Zhu Houzhao's risk. As a strict father, he will not worry about his son's feelings every time.

He said coldly: "Today, the generals of the Jingying Military Academy are taking the exam, and there are also students from the Martial Arts Hall. You are not among them, so they are not qualified for the exam. As for the Duke of England and Duke of Baoguo, they are not only the main examiners, but also the students of the Martial Arts Academy. It is no different from ordinary candidates."

Zhang Mao had already cursed in his heart, who am I provoking?Let me take the exam with a group of subordinates?

And let me, an old guy who has been a half-life soldier, hold a pen!It's too embarrassing!

……

……

The Military Policy Examination has begun.

An examination booth was temporarily set up outside the artillery field, and everyone, regardless of whether they have entered the martial arts hall or not, must participate in this assessment.

Many people haven't picked up a pen for many years, and they don't know what to write, and they still have this kind of proposition assessment.

It is impossible to hand in a blank paper, just write a few sentences to express your loyalty to the emperor... I am willing to push the artillery to the front line, and repay your majesty's kindness with death...

When a military policy with various answers was presented to the emperor, Zhu Youtang almost wanted to find a gun to wipe out this group of people after reading it.

"The words are so sincere, it seems that I have hindered their desire to serve the country!"

Li Rongdao: "Your Majesty, there is still someone who wrote it very well. This formation is very detailed."

"Ok?"

Zhu Youtang took the one recommended by Li Rong and read it, and couldn't help frowning.

Zhu Houzhao looked at him and said with a smile: "Hundreds of cannons are set up to fight? Tartars are not stupid. Think they will be like straw men, and they will be slaughtered like wooden stakes?"

Zhu Youtang looked sideways at Li Rong, didn't say anything, but the meaning was obvious, even the crown prince could find faults, presumably this kind of strategy that doesn't talk about the actual situation but only talks about taking the initiative to form a large formation, is it just talking on paper, and I don't need to say it clearly?

……

……

There were too many exam papers, and Zhu Youtang himself didn't know much about them, so Zhang Zhou and Wang Qiong basically gave them to review in the end.

Zhu Youtang himself continued to watch the Beijing camp drills.

"Who is that?"

When it was the turn of the formation to confront each other, suddenly there was an army below. Under the guidance of a certain general, the lineup was neat and suitable for both offense and defense.

Li Rong glanced at it, but was too far away to recognize it.

Immediately Zhu Hui said: "It seems to be the son-in-law of the eldest princess of Yongkang."

"Cui Yuan? Not bad."

Zhu Youtang didn't expect that it was his brother-in-law who made him admire, not the veteran general.

"What about his military policy?"

Zhu Youtang asked.

Wang Qiong approached and said, "Princess Yongkang's son-in-law's military affairs policy can be said to be excellent."

Cui Yuan's examination paper was then submitted.

For Wang Qiong, this is equivalent to "love disciple".

　I'm still in the hospital, typing on my mobile phone, I typed some last night, and finished it tonight.The bilirubin is too high, and a series of indicators are high.
