It was an extremely troublesome thing for the emperor to travel with great fanfare, and on the morning of the third day of the fourth lunar month, the sky was only bright, and Xu Jin ran to the palace gate to wait for the royal driver, because today the little emperor Zhu Houxi will go out of the city to inspect the camp of the five hundred battalions.

As a result, Xu Jin waited outside the palace gate for nearly an hour, and it was not until the sun was three poles that the imperial driver was able to officially set off, in addition to the three hundred brocade guards, there were also two thousand Tengxiang guards to escort him, and there were also eunuchs related to internal officials, such as the celebrant and the imperial horse eunuch.

This is not only that, but there are also civil and military officials who also sent representatives to accompany them, and the civilian officials are Xia Yan in the military department and Shi Jitang of the Imperial Inspectorate; On the military attaché side, three people were sent, namely: Xu Guangzuo, the governor of the Central Army, Xu Pengju, the governor of the Left Army, and Guo Xun, the governor of the Houjun Governor's Office.

A group of nearly 3,000 people, waving flags all the way, marched out of the capital from Xibianmen, and marched along the official road in the direction of the camp of the 500 battalions.

Zhu Houxi, who left the capital, was like a bird that had taken off its cage, riding a horse and galloping fast along the way, sometimes stopping to play in the water at the head of the field by the stream to watch the tadpoles, squeaking and chattering, and seeing a passing hare could be excited for a long time.

Seeing this, Xu Jin couldn't help but sympathize with the little emperor, the poor Sao Nian was the age of being active and playful, but he was trapped in the palace all day long, just in response to the sentence that if you have gains, you will have to lose, obviously it is the ninety-five supreme who decides life and death with one word, but he can't come and go freely.

But then again, perhaps it was the supreme power of the emperor that the ministers came up with so many rules and regulations to bind the emperor in the palace, which is the so-called putting power in a "cage".

Otherwise, this kind of power that can decide people's lives and deaths has no restraints, and it runs outside and waves wantonly, and the whole country will have to be chaotic. For example, Zhu Houzhao, the emperor of Zhengde, was reckless and casual, and he toured the north if he wanted to, and he toured the south if he wanted to, which naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction and jealousy among the civilian clique.

The camp of the 500 battalions is located in the western suburbs of the capital, Liangxiang, which is only twenty miles away from the capital, even if it is by carriage, it can be reached in an hour, but the little emperor Zhu Houxi played all the way, but it took nearly an hour to arrive.

Now the two barren mountains where the camp of the 500 battalion is located have changed greatly, but seeing that the houses on this side of the west mountain are continuous, and the perimeter is also surrounded by wooden fences, leveling out the fields one by one, the brothers of the 500 battalion usually train and live in the west mountain.

After nearly two months of nourishment, the turf has grown, and the green grass is like a green carpet at a glance, as if it has come to the grassland, making people have the urge to roll from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

Besides, thousands of people from the imperial driving party entered the camp of the 500 battalions, Wang Lin'er, Xie Erjian, Qi Jingtong and others had already gathered all the brothers to line up to greet them, and the athletes knelt down in front of the imperial chariot and shouted long live.

Looking at the small but energetic majestic team in front of him, the little emperor Zhu Houxi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "All the soldiers are flat!" ”

"Emperor Xie!" The five hundred people thanked in unison, and then stood up with a slump of motion, as if a knife was cutting tofu.

Xia Yan and Yu Shi Jitang couldn't help but be secretly surprised, Xu Guangzuo, Xu Pengju, Guo Xun and others changed slightly, they were from a martial arts family, and they naturally understood that it was not easy to train soldiers to this level.

Zhu Houxi's eyes lit up, this kid had inspected other Beijing camps, so he could see the extraordinaryness of this team at a glance, and said happily: "Xu Jin, could it be that this is the effect of the training of the new method you are talking about?" ”

Xu Jin smiled and nodded, he just copied the set of training the army in later generations, the five hundred battalions have been trained for more than two months, and they have been quite fruitful.

Zhu Houxi said with great interest: "Quick, hurry up and show it to me, Dingguo Gong, Wei Guogong, and Wu Dingbo, you all watch and study carefully, so that you can implement it in Beijing in the future." ”

Xu Guangzuo and Xu Peng glanced at each other and nodded yes, although Wuding Boguo also agreed, but a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, obviously unhappy.

Next, Xu Jin asked Wang Lin'er to command the team to demonstrate the military posture, kicking the right step, etc., these things seem meaningless and nothing to look at, but they can actually enhance the discipline, resilience and tacit understanding of the soldiers.

"Hey, Xu Jin, this is what you call a new training measure? What about children playing at home? Do dogs pee in line and stand still for the enemy to chop? Guo Xun laughed and mocked.

Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, also nodded and agreed: "Your Majesty, the army should train cavalry and archery in battle formations, and training the team like Jing Anbo is simply nonsense." ”

Zhu Houxi obviously couldn't see the benefits of such training, and looked at Xu Jin, meaning to ask him to explain.

Xu Jin said indifferently: "Since Wu Dingbo looks down on this kind of training method, why don't you compare with each other?" ”

A hint of fierceness flashed in Guo Xun's eyes, and he said coldly: "How does Lord Xu want to compare?" ”

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Wu Dingbo can choose ten people at will among the brothers of the five hundred battalions, and then fight against the ten people under your command, either alone or in a team battle." Do you dare? ”

Zhu Houxi was originally a master who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and immediately stroked his palm and said: "This method is very wonderful, which is stronger and which is weaker, you can know it by comparison." ”

Guo Xun brought twenty servants this time, all of whom were the elite of the Beijing camp, and the leader was named Wei Dameng, who was strong in martial arts, so he couldn't help it at first, and stepped forward and said loudly: "Master, subordinates are willing to fight." ”

Guo Xun was still a little hesitant, because he had suffered Xu Jin's big loss, so he knew Xu Saozi's "yin damage", but at this time, his henchmen asked for battle, if he refused, it would not only hurt the self-esteem of his henchmen, but also appear to be timid, not to mention that the emperor was in front of him, how could he retreat, so he said stubbornly: "Okay, just compare, just fight in a group, and save a waste of time." As for the candidates, Lord Xu should decide them himself, so as not to lose and say that I take advantage of you. ”

Xu Jin smiled slightly, turned to Wang Lin'er and said, "Commander Wang, find ten brothers to come out." ”

Wang Lin'er smiled, turned around and shouted: "Zhao Datou, your team is out of the ranks, pay attention to proportion, don't hurt people too badly!" ”

"Order!" A soldier with a particularly big head shouted, and walked out with nine brothers behind him, and the team changed from a column to a horizontal line, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner.

Wei Dameng sneered and said: "It's not ashamed to say it, it's useless, brothers, follow me, teach these embroidered pillows a lesson." ”

Wei Dameng came out with nine brothers murderously, and the two sides set up a position in the field. Since it was a contest, neither side used weapons to avoid casualties.

"Let's go!" With the order of the little emperor Zhu Houxi, Wei Dameng pounced on Zhao Datou with an arrow step, and slammed his fist into his chest.

Zhao Datou was one of Xu Jin's eleven personal soldiers, an out-and-out veteran of a hundred battles, sneered and raised his hand to block Wei Dameng's punch, the latter was about to fly up, but the two feet next to him had already kicked over.

Boom......

Wei Dameng couldn't dodge, he was kicked on the side of his buttocks, and he overturned on the spot, which turned out to be a sneak attack by two brothers from the 500 battalion next to him.

Zhao Datou laughed, rushed forward and stepped on Wei Dameng's face, and the other two 500 battalion sergeants also surrounded him and punched and kicked.

At the same time, the brothers of the other 500 battalions were also in groups of two or three, staring at each other until they were knocked down and could not get up. Just the kung fu of tea, Guo Xun's ten servants all fell to the ground and howled, all of them had blue noses and swollen faces, and they couldn't get up for half a day.

Guo Xun's face turned pale, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is not fair, it is clearly a fraud, what kind of ability is it for a few people to fight one?" ”

Xu Jin said lightly: "It's a team battle, and both sides are ten people, what's unfair?" If you want to blame your ten Hu never know how to cooperate, a plate of scattered sand, if it is a real battlefield fight at this moment, will your people still have their lives? ”

Guo Xun was speechless for a moment, and snorted coldly and remained silent.

Zhu Houxi rolled his eyes and blurted out: "Xu Qing, I understand, your training method is to improve the tacit understanding of the sergeants?" ”

Xu Jin nodded and said: "The emperor is wise, but not only that, this can also enhance the discipline of the sergeants, so that the order is forbidden." ”

Dingguo Gong Xu Guangzuo obviously wanted to find a step for Guo Xun, and said lightly: "No matter how strict the discipline is, if you don't train the cavalry and archery battle formation, your combat effectiveness will not be strong." ”

Xu Jin smiled lightly: "The training of the five hundred battalions is naturally more than this, these are just the most basic training, Dingguo Gong might as well continue to watch." ”

Ding Guogong was choked up suddenly, and could only pretend to be serious and hummed.

Zhu Houxi said with great interest: "What other training methods does Xu Qing have, show it to me quickly." ”

Xu Jin took everyone to the training venue, and Zhu Houxi was immediately attracted by the training items such as single parallel bars, balance beam, high wall, rope net, and creeping, and finally changed his clothes and tried it himself, but the accompanying eunuchs were frightened.
