Although all the armies in Beijing are trying to show their strongest side under the command of their respective generals at this moment, when the royal chariot came to the school, especially the little fat man Wanli in bright yellow clothes boarded the point general platform, and all the generals from the town Marquis Gu Huan to the stage knelt down to pay respects, almost everyone knew who was coming, and suddenly the excitement in the hearts of the soldiers of the Beijing camp increased several times, but the movements on the hands and feet were completely slowed down, and everyone's eyes were focused on the point of the general. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Listen to the soldiers, today Your Majesty will come to the front of our army...... in person" Gu Huan, who had no intention of concealing this, was extremely excited and loudly announced to the soldiers who were watching in a daze.

And with this announcement, the soldiers below immediately boiled, and then knelt on the ground one after another under the leadership of their respective generals, and bowed down to the emperor on the stage with great devotion and respect: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Although these soldiers of the Beijing camp are in Beijing, it is basically impossible for them to see the face of heaven if they have no special circumstances in their lives. In this era when all subjects in the world regard the emperor as a god, being able to look at the emperor from such a distance is enough to make all the soldiers excited and boast to their children and grandchildren for many years in the future.

In fact, it was not only them, but also the little emperor Wanli, who was independent of the general platform at this moment, and was kneeling down in front of the army, was also full of excitement and his face was flushed with excitement. To be honest, in the palace, in the court, he has never been sincerely worshiped by these many people.

This made Wanli's body tremble a little, and after a long time, he finally stabilized, and waved to the soldiers with all his might: "All the soldiers are exempt!" I came here today to see how brave and good the soldiers of the Beijing camp were in the city of Beijing that guarded me and protected my safety. I hope you can show your strengths, don't mess up just because I look here, and practice the majesty of my Beijing battalion soldiers! ”

Although Wanli's voice was a little lower than Gu Huanlai's, his actions were still seen by the soldiers, and after understanding what he meant, all the soldiers thanked him again, and then listened to the emperor's instructions from the heralds in front of them, and everyone was even more encouraged, and they all claimed yes.

So the next military exercise was several times harder than just now, and the soldiers did their best to show all kinds of tricks that could not be used in combat, and they must highlight their abilities in front of the emperor, so that the Son of Heaven can have a good impression of himself.

Thousands of horses galloped, thousands of people roared, knives and guns danced, and the team was galloping endlessly...... All this fell in the eyes of the emperor, who had never seen much of the way of the military formation, which made him even more excited, and he couldn't help but clap his hands again and again, thinking that he would also be incarnated in the middle, to roar, to fight...... Of course, under the protection of Feng Bao, Gu Huan and others, Wanli's wish could not be achieved, and he could only enjoy it on stage.

It wasn't until he looked at it for more than half an hour that Wanli's eyes finally found his real goal here from the dazzling movement of various armies, and a team of five hundred people was standing still like a mountain in the surrounding crowd of troops at the moment, which was particularly different.

"That's Yang Qing and his Jinyi Guard, right?" Wanli pointed forward a little strangely and asked Gu Huandao beside him.

"Back to Your Majesty, it was Yang Zhen who was practicing with the Jinyi Guard." Gu Huan nodded in response, and at the same time had some doubts in his heart, how could these brocade guards just stand still, how could this make the emperor interested? He knew very well that today's scene was provoked by Yang Zhen, even the emperor was invited by him, and it stands to reason that Yang Zhen and Jinyiwei should try their best to perform.

Sure enough, the little emperor also felt strange about their motionless behavior: "Why are all the armies in various drills, but they are the only ones who just stand still?" ”

"Maybe they just saw the majesty of my soldiers in the Beijing camp and were too frightened to move. Or, Yang Zhen knew that no matter how much he practiced with Jinyiwei, he couldn't compare with the elite of the Beijing camp, so he simply made a fool of himself than hide it. Feng Bao couldn't help but bury Jinyi Wei Dao when he saw the opportunity, and at the same time he also held the Jingying side to get closer to them.

Gu Huan just smiled when he heard him say this, but he was still quite happy in his heart. However, those generals who understood how difficult it was to stand in such a motionless formation, but they showed a disapproving look on their faces, if they didn't know the identity and status of this honest Feng Gonggong, they would have already argued.

Fortunately, Wanli did not believe Feng Bao's "high opinion", and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "And send Yang Zhen to know his intentions when you ask him." ”

"Spread His Majesty's will and announce Yang Zhen's coming to power!" The emperor had a thought, and the people under him hurriedly ran over to give the order. After a while, Yang Zhen, who was dressed in bright clothes and armor, strode up to the point of general platform with high spirits, and after greeting the emperor and several generals, he asked: "I don't know why Your Majesty suddenly came to power?" ”

"I remember you told me back then that you wanted to behave well today. Why is it that when things come to an end, you and those soldiers of the Jinyi Guard are just standing and not practicing like other soldiers? Wanli didn't beat around the bush and asked straightforwardly.

Yang Zhen just smiled faintly when he heard this: "In fact, it is also a method of training for the officers and soldiers to stand in formation, and it is their temperament that is exercised. Although it does not look as fierce as the other armies, its usefulness cannot be underestimated. Moreover, the minister thought that it was difficult to see the real combat effectiveness of our Ming army just by such exercises, so he did not order them to make too much of a move. ”

"Yang Zhen, do you mean that the training methods of the various armies in the Beijing camp are not as good as yours, or are you more powerful than the soldiers of the Beijing camp?" Feng Bao naturally would not let go of such an opportunity to blow Yang Zhen and provoke the relationship between him and Jingying at the same time, so he immediately asked in a weird manner.

"Gonggong Feng's words are serious, and Xia Guan has never had such thoughts. I just don't think that all of them are so aggressive that they can reflect the prestige of my Ming army. Yang Zhen hurriedly argued.

"In that case, why don't you ask your subordinates to show off their skills in this area as well? Or try it in other ways according to your wishes, such as asking the Beijing camp to send out an army to compete with your Jinyi Guard? Feng Bao didn't intend to let him go, and continued to press.

The surrounding generals of the Beijing camp couldn't help but show a strange look on their faces, although they could see that this was all instigated by Feng Bao, but since ancient times, there was no first martial arts and no second, and all the generals didn't want the soldiers under them to be inferior to others, so they were also a little eager to try.

Wanli originally planned to scold Feng Bao for not speaking like this, but after glancing at the appearance of the generals around him, he found that Yang Zhen also had the intention of seeking war in his eyes, and his heart suddenly became interested: "This is not an interesting way, Yang Qing, Marquis Zhenyuan, can you let the soldiers below fight?" ”

"This ......" Gu Huan is an old-fashioned person and has a friendship with Yang Zhen, but he really doesn't want to offend Yang Zhen because of this, so he seems a little hesitant.

Yang Zhen, however, hugged his fists without any hesitation and said: "The minister respectfully obeys Your Majesty's wishes, Master Hou, you can send all the way to fight with my brothers, so that Your Majesty can enjoy it." ”

Hearing what Yang Zhen said, of course Gu Huan had no need to refuse, and immediately nodded: "Okay, the minister obeys the order!" ”

"Good!" When the emperor heard this, he suddenly thought of something, took out a piece of jade from his sleeve and said: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring anything good, so I have the right to use this thing as a lottery to reward the victorious party." ”

Of course, no one would say that the emperor wanted to add such a lottery. But just when Gu Huan turned his head to order the generals to prepare for the battle with the Jinyi Guard, Yang Zhen suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Gu Houye, the minister still has two reluctant requests, and I hope that a few of them can agree." ”

"You say."

"This first point, although the casualties of the two armies in the battle are inevitable, but in the end it is only a drill, so the minister implores the two armies to only fight with wooden weapons that cannot hurt people, so as not to cause too much damage."

"That's right." Wanli immediately nodded: "Marquis Zhenyuan, you always have weapons such as wooden sticks in your army, right?" ”

"Yes, the minister will send someone to prepare." Gu Huan was right when he thought about it, he couldn't kill blood in front of the Son of Heaven, so he immediately agreed.

"In addition, the soldiers of the Jingying have been practicing for a long time just now, and they are obviously far inferior to my subordinates in terms of strength, so the minister hopes that the Jingying can give me five hundred with one thousand, so that it is the fairest for both sides." Yang Zhen made a second request.

As soon as this request was made, everyone around him was shocked. No one expected that Yang Zhen would actually take the initiative to increase the difficulty, isn't this asking for hardship?

"Yang Zhen, don't you know that the Jinyi Guards under your command are not the opponents of the soldiers of the Beijing camp, so you deliberately want to be outnumbered, so you have many excuses, right?" Feng Bao couldn't help but guess.

"Gonggong Feng, you are serious, the confrontation between the two armies did not stipulate that the two sides must have equal strength. The lower officer did this just to make this drill more realistic, and it could also better show the heroic and good fighting of our Ming army. If we fail, my brothers and I will not regret it, let alone use it as an excuse. Yang Zhen immediately said.

Seeing that he was so sure, Wanli also nodded and said, "Since Yang Qing said so, I will grant you what you want." Marquis Zhenyuan, just grieve your Beijing camp, and you should have more soldiers and horses. ”

The emperor said so, how dare Gu Huan object, he could only hold his fists and agree. After exchanging a few glances, they made up their minds that this military exercise would not save face for Yang Zhen and Jinyiwei, and they must do their best to fight with them, even if they have an advantage in terms of troops!
