Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 447
The Martyr's Shrine on Yuexiu Mountain has been under construction for several months. A large number of peasants and craftsmen have worked here. Not only have halls and attics been built on several peaks, but the original Zhenhai Tower and other buildings on the mountain have also been restored and improved.

Yuexiu Mountain has beautiful scenery. When you climb the mountain, you can directly see the broad Pearl River. The rippling water is magnificent. It is a good place for scholars to gather and play.

At this time, the Martyr's Shrine, which had been built for several months, was finally about to be completed, and the people of Guangjing were also looking forward to it.

Please enter the temple, the imperial court will hold a grand sacrifice, and after the sacrifice, the Duke of Chu will lead his troops to march eastward to join in the fun. The people from Guangjing flocked to the corner of Yuexiu Mountain early in the morning to watch the ceremony.

For this Eastern Expedition, a total of [-] troops were mobilized. It is impossible for all of them to participate in the swearing-in. , came to receive the lectures from the emperor and Wang Yan himself.

The venue is set at the corner of Yuexiu Mountain. The six big chess pieces represent the five loyalists and the six troops of the supervising standard. After the army had breakfast, the troops from each department arrived one after another.

Please enter the ancestral hall, the imperial court's great sacrifice will not start until noon, but at this time, thousands of soldiers stand under their respective flags in an open space covering an area of ​​tens of acres, surrounded by tens of thousands, rushing over Watching the excitement, the people watching the ceremony.

At this time, inside and outside the venue, both the soldiers and the surrounding people were shouting hoarsely. The soldiers were cheering for the generals in their camp, and the people were just joining in the fun. After a wave, the whole city can hear it, and it is very prosperous.

Surrounded by the sea of ​​people and the sound waves rushing towards Xiaohan, coupled with the exciting competition on the school field, the people became more excited and shouted hoarsely.

This kind of scene is rare, dating back to the last time, when the Qing soldiers besieged the city, the king of Tang patrolled the city with a guard of honor, and the whole city burst into loud shouts.

The movement from Yuexiu Mountain made the people in the city who had waited until noon to come to watch the ceremony also start to go out. Many women and young ladies from rich families also went to watch in carriages. He Zhizhi and Xu Yanyan naturally I also went under the escort of my family to join in the fun.

At this time, in the school field, a general named Lu Shikui used a long spear to sweep a general who had fought for four or five times off his horse, then raised his spear high and galloped on the horse on the school field.

"Loyal and invincible, loyal and brave champion~"

There were also battles within the Five Loyalty Army. After all, there were six troops, and Wang Yan couldn't be equal, and the internal competition also enabled each army to promote each other.

Among the six men and horses, who is the first to fight, the first to fight, and the leaders have been secretly competing.

Behind Wang Yan, Dai Zhifan felt elated when he saw his subordinates defeating the opponent. The hundreds of people he brought shouted with all their strength, but they overwhelmed the loyal army of nearly a thousand people.

"Loyalty, Suo Yanlong is here to meet you."

At this time, one of Li Guo's generals, seeing that Zhongyong was rampant and defeated four people in a row, raised his ax and slapped his horse, and came to fight Lu Shikui, one of Dai Zhifan's subordinates.

Suo Yanlong is an old man in the Shun army. He has been fighting for many years and is famous for his strength and bravery. He was named Xiao Yuchi by his fellow campers. He was wearing iron armor and riding a strong horse. He came to the center of the school field, looking very handsome For the mighty, the people onlookers cheered.

Lu Shikui had just joined the Five Zhong Army not long ago, he was recruited this time, but because of his outstanding martial arts, he was discovered by Qin Feng, and then recommended to Dai Zhifan, who was directly promoted to the rank of one hundred household guards.

If history develops on a normal path, he should be serving as a guard of the palace under Lu Jianguo at this time.

At this time, with a white horse and a silver spear, he had won several rounds in a row. He was majestic, and naturally he was not afraid of challenges. He pointed the spear in his hand and said proudly: "People from Zhongzhen Town, you can let the horse come over~" Suo Yanlong sneered, and the long ax in his hand With a wave, a black shadow flashed past, he galloped his horse, and rushed towards Lu Shikui. He controlled the horse with both legs, his body was slightly sideways, and he held the ax in both hands to strike at the top. With a loud roar, he raised his gun and went up to the shelf.

'when! With a loud bang, Suo Yanlong's long ax fell firmly on Lu Shikui's iron spear, and the iron spear trembled with a thousand catties of force. Lu Shikui's arms were numb, and the horse could not bear it when he sat down. Almost knelt down.

Seeing this, Lu Shikui didn't expect the opponent to be so strong, he couldn't help but feel anxious, if he loses in one match, it doesn't matter if he loses face, the key is not to tarnish Zhongyong's name.

Lu Shikui gritted his teeth, pushed the iron ax on the side to the side, feinted a shot, and opened the distance between the two of them.

Suo Yanlong was also very surprised, he didn't expect that Lu Shikui could catch him with the axe, but he himself was numb from the force of the rebound, and the horse galloped more than ten steps before he stabilized his body, obviously it was not easy.

This wonderful fight, the surrounding soldiers exclaimed, this kind of strong fighter, the explosive power and tension made everyone frightened.

Unlike the soldiers, the people on the periphery couldn't see the way out. As long as the two horses crossed, there would be an exclamation, and the shouts were overwhelming, which made people excited and excited.

At this time, on the school grounds, the two men fought on horseback, and in the blink of an eye there was another round of fighting. Lu Shikui did not dare to take Suo Yanlong's attack head-on, but used the flexible and tricky characteristics of the big gun, and Suo Yanlong also knew that, Lu Shikui's arms were not as strong as his own, so he continued to use the domineering axe.

The school field was full of dust, and there were endless shouts around. Every time the two fought against each other, the atmosphere would be brought to a climax.

Behind Wang Yan, Dai Zhifan and Li Guo seemed more nervous than the two fighting on the field, and Wang Yan's attention, apart from being on the school field, was actually more focused on the gentry and common people around him.

The Central Plains Dynasty, a state of etiquette, and the gentry and common people of the Ming Dynasty often gave him an image of gentleness, elegance, simplicity and gentleness. He rarely saw tens of thousands of people shouting together regardless of demeanor.

Wang Yan glanced over and saw that among the crowd, a group of scholars from the Guozijian were also affected by the atmosphere, shouting in unison, waving their arms, and couldn't help thinking.

Neo-Confucianism, the preservation of natural principles, the elimination of human desires, and the suppression of human nature have bound the entire society. It is rare for people to have such opportunities to shout and vent. ".

At this time, Wang Yan was distracted, he had already fought for more than [-] bouts on the field, and finally, amidst a burst of shouts, Lu Shikui used his dexterous fighting style to pick off Liu Yingchang's big axe.

This temporary competition between the various armies finally ended with Zhongyongzhen winning. Seeing this, Wang Yan called the two people on the school field over.

The two first saluted Wang Yan, and then Suo Yanlong pleaded guilty to Li Guo with a face full of shame: "The last general is incompetent, and I am ashamed of Zhongzhen Town~"

Dai Zhifan on the side smiled and patted Lu Shikui on the shoulder, expressing his joy and encouragement.
