"This brother Tai is not Brother Ying Tianfu's little Sanyuan Qingyang."

Zheng Xunrui looked at the young man who hugged his fist and saluted at the gate of the school, just now the Confucian professor said that when the school was over, many students scattered in a swarm, Zheng Xunrui slowed down, and only after everyone left, did he go to the backyard to lead the horse.

Zheng Xunrui has no interest in the communication between readers, instead of spending time on these grinding lips and eating and drinking, it is better to go home and do some things, at least to see the sowing of maize and sweet potato, you must know that these 500 acres of cultivated land are all used for seed production, and when planting, there can be no negligence.

Zheng Xunrui, who also saluted with his fists, his tone was flat.

"Under Zheng Xunrui, the words are clear, and I don't know the name of Brother Tai."

"In Xia Chen Zilong, in the word Mao, a member of Songjiang Mansion, I have heard the name of Brother Qingyang for a long time, and I am fortunate to be able to meet here."

Zheng Xunrui's face changed slightly, he was about to get on the horse and leave after saying hello, Hong Xinyu was waiting not far away, but after hearing the other party introduce himself, he stopped.

"Brother Mao is a student of Songjiang Mansion, why did he go to Yingtianfu Mansion to study."

"I went down to Yingtianfu to visit my uncle, but I just borrowed it here for a few days, and I will return to Songjiang Mansion in early March."

"I didn't expect Brother Mao to be so diligent, and he spent a few days studying in Fuxue, and I really admired him."

"Brother Qingyang is polite, I have heard the name of Brother Qingyang for a long time, and I was surprised to see it today, Brother Qingyang is so young and talented, and it is beyond the reach of the next."

Zheng Xunrui thought of something, his face was slightly red, since Chen Zilong was here to listen, he was also sitting in the back, he must have been paying attention to himself for a long time, and his dozing off behavior was not also seen.

However, Zheng Xunrui was a little strange, there were more than 200 people in the school, and he was in the corner, how did Chen Zilong find out.

"I am familiar with Brother Tianru in the next, when I arrived in Suzhou, I heard that Brother Qingyang was amazing, and then I specially visited Brother Huaidou, and this time I came to Yingtianfu, it was the best opportunity, so I thought of making a special trip to visit Brother Qingyang."

No wonder, when Chen Zilong saw Zhang Pu and Yang Tingshu, he must have asked about his appearance, so he was able to recognize them.

"Brother Huaidou praised Brother Qingyang, Ling Zai is very respectful, according to Brother Qingyang's knowledge, this year's township examination, will be able to high school, congratulations to Brother Qingyang in advance."

The look on Zheng Xunrui's face was a little strange, there is still half a year before the township test, such an early congratulations, I am afraid it is unprecedented, and the township test is completely different from the government test and the county test, even if it is the head of the government test, it is not a big deal to fail the township test.

However, Chen Zilong's words revealed a message, that is, Yang Tingshu's introduction, because he also has to participate in the township test, Yang Tingshu will definitely have to attend class, and he will not come to Yingtianfu for at least four months, and when he comes to Yingtianfu again, he is ready to participate in the township test.

"I see, I am the same brother as Brother Huaidou, Brother Mao and Brother Huaidou are familiar with each other, that is, friends in Xia, today by chance, how about inviting Brother Mao to drink."

Saying these words, Zheng Xunrui felt that his teeth were a little sour, he and Yang Tingshu would not be so civil, but it was a pity that the first time he saw Chen Zilong, both of them were scholars, and the sour atmosphere was indispensable.

"I can't ask for it, today I am visiting Brother Qingyang, so I am naturally inviting you to a treat."

There are a lot of banquets in the New Year, Zheng Xunrui and Chen Zilong, plus Hong Xinyu, that is, the three of them, there is no need to go to those big restaurants, just find a small wine shop, so there are a lot of them.

When Zheng Xunrui entered the wine shop, he saw Chen Zilong's dark color and face, without the slightest discomfort, and secretly praised in his heart, he could bend and stretch, no wonder he was able to leave a lot of fame in history.

Chen Zilong in history has a certain relationship with Liu Ruyi, some people say that Liu Ru pursued Chen Zilong and was rejected, and some people say that Chen Zilong had feelings for Liu Ruyi, but later resisted and died, and the two were not able to finally join hands.

No matter what it is, Chen Zilong's fame is always a little big.

But for people like Chen Zilong, Zheng Xunrui is vigilant, not only Chen Zilong, but also officials of the Ming court, including scholars, most of them are divided into two categories, either they grovel and surrender, surrender Li Zicheng also surrendered to Houjin, such as Qian Qianyi and Gong Dingyu and others, or heroic martyrs, such as Chen Zilong and Shi Kefa, these are all two extremes, in the view of Zheng Xunrui, who crosses, it is not necessarily desirable, especially the latter kind of people, who know special stubbornness, swear to defend the completely corrupt Ming Dynasty, and I don't know if this is correct.

"Brother Qingyang, I will toast you with a glass below, thinking that if life is only as it is the first time I saw it, I am really fascinated by it."

"Brother Mao, I once said that poetry and songs and the like are nothing more than mutual exchanges, just to help the fun, in fact, I don't want to indulge in it, if Brother Mao didn't mention Brother Huaidou just now, I would probably go straight home, in fact, I am a person, straightforward by nature, more willing to be unrestrained, when happy, willing to share with friends, when sad, willing to live alone."

Zheng Xunrui's words suddenly became casual and sharp, which surprised Chen Zilong.

After looking at Zheng Xunrui for a while, a smile appeared on Chen Zilong's face.

"Brother Qingyang is really a cheerful person, the first time we met, I was able to say so bluntly, I was taught, in fact, I also understand, between Brother Qingyang and Brother Huaidou, there must not be so much politeness, Brother Huaidou once said, although Brother Qingyang is full of literary talent, but he doesn't like to show off, and he doesn't like to hear other people's praise, I really believe it when I see it today."

Zheng Xunrui also had a smile on his face.

He took the initiative to test Chen Zilong, just to see if Chen Zilong in history was really so straightforward, whether he was really heroic, if he was as literate as Gong Dingxiao, and even had some virtuous and jealous character, then there was no need to make friends.

As for how to develop in the future, I can't think of so many now.

"Brother Mao, I drank this glass of wine."

After a glass of wine, the conversation behind was a lot more casual, talking about some interesting things, Chen Zilong never mentioned Zheng Xunrui's article, and Zheng Xunrui did not praise Chen Zilong's literary talent.

When I got home, it was already a quarter of the hour.

Zheng Xunrui did not waste time, and after washing up a little, he went straight to the valley.

The training is ongoing, according to the plan, this time is the time to contact the twelve bridges of Hongquan, although the moves are basically set, but they still need to be continuously improved, Zheng Xunrui is not in a hurry in this regard, after all, the eight hundred heroes of Hongjiabao are all practitioners, and the ability to absorb and digest is very strong, once the moves change, they will soon be able to absorb them, and then use them skillfully.

The difficult aspect is still weapons, not that there are no weapons, but Zheng Xunrui does not dare to buy weapons at present, which will be regarded as a rebellion, fortunately, most of the people in Hongjiabao have weapons, although there are various types of weapons, spears, long-handled eyebrow sharp knives, Japanese knives and bows and arrows can be selected from them, there is still no problem.

Zheng Xunrui made strict requirements in this regard, and the weapons that cavalry could use in the future could only have three categories, namely spears, long-handled eyebrow sharp knives, bows and arrows, and the rest could not be owned.

Long-handled eyebrow knife, this is the most common weapon of the Ming cavalry, the length is one hundred and sixty centimeters, of which the blade is sixty centimeters long, the length of the handle is one meter, the long-handled eyebrow knife has the dual advantages of knife and spear, can chop, and can stab, the weight is also small, easy to carry.

The Ming cavalry rarely used spears, that is, spears, in terms of weight and length, spears were heavier than long-handled eyebrow sharp knives, and when they were cast, they generally needed both hands, some of which consumed the body, required higher skills, and were not very convenient.

But everyone overlooked the most important aspect, the spear was far more powerful than the long-handled eyebrow knife, which could lift the opponent into the air when hand-to-hand, and the long-handled eyebrow knife could only cut people off the horse.

The eight hundred heroes of Hongjiabao will be built into the most elite cavalry by Zheng Xunrui, and they will definitely use spears, not long-handled eyebrow sharp knives, as for the cavalry that will be expanded in the future, that is another matter.

Bow and arrow is a must-have for cavalry, but also the most lethal weapon, even stronger than firearms, the biggest advantage of cavalry is mobility, fast speed, cavalry bow and arrow, accurate shooting, can make the opponent collapse instantly, and even have no power to fight back, Houjin's cavalry, in this regard, is a huge advantage.

Strong cavalry, must have three advantages, the first is fast, even able to reach the legendary day travel thousands of miles, so that can surprise the blow and surprise the opponent, the second is high archery, basically do no missing shots, every arrow shooted, there is an opponent to the ground, which will make the opponent fearful, the third is deep kung fu, when the short hand is connected, let the opponent fight back, so that the victory can be established in the shortest possible time.

To put it mildly, the cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty could not reach such a distance, because of the reason for the war horse, and there are also personal factors.

Zheng Xunrui's purpose is to train these 800 heroes into cavalry with three major advantages.

The most elite sergeants, the number is not very large, 3,000 is enough, supplemented by a number of other fighting armies, can be destroyed on the battlefield, invincible.

This is a classic equipment in the era of cold weapons, and it is impossible to think that tens of thousands of sergeants are all so elite.

Zheng Xunrui will not rely entirely on firearms, Daming has such a lesson, in the face of the highly mobile Houjin cavalry, can only passively defend the city, there is no ability to attack at all, you must know that today's powerful firearms, basically used to defend the city, mobility is very poor, not suitable for field warfare.
