On the way back from the army, according to the emperor's requirements, all guards should sum up the lessons and write down the plan for training, and present it to the emperor when they arrived in Beijing. Naturally, the young army's side is no exception.

Along the way, Zhu Zhanji and Wang Xian convened a meeting of the generals to summarize the problems existing in the young army. Obviously, the biggest problem of the young army is the lack of basic military literacy, although they were all selected young people who were familiar with martial arts, but ordinary martial arts and battlefield fighting are completely different things, and the cruel white blades on the battlefield intersect, will greatly stimulate the soldiers, either become murderers, or become sheep to be slaughtered. Unfortunately, newcomers who have just entered the battlefield will become the latter, so recruits must account for the vast majority of the casualties in each battle, while veterans are often able to survive.

So the reality is that a soldier can use one-tenth of the martial arts he has learned in battle to win in combat; Use one-fifth, and you can defeat five with one; Use half of it, and you'll be invincible. And if you want to play a normal level on the battlefield as much as possible, there is no other way than to strictly approach the actual combat training.

On the basis of this consensus, everyone drew up a training syllabus, and Wang Xian repeated the old tricks to carry forward his set of competition. As the name suggests, the so-called 'school comparison method' is to allow officers and men to conduct competitions on the one hand, and on the other hand, to take the opportunity to correct their attitudes and behaviors and help them make continuous progress. Wang Xian integrated this method into all aspects of training, whether officers or soldiers, combatants or miscellaneous personnel, they had to be assessed. The content of the competition includes both individual martial arts competitions and military competitions between the two teams. In addition, details such as whether the weapon is used in the heart of the hand, whether the weapon is made in accordance with the standard cāo, etc., are also within the scope of the assessment......

The results of the assessment are divided into three grades and nine rules, and the results will be recorded in the soldiers' respective files, and the officers and soldiers who have reached the corresponding level will be rewarded and promoted in a one-month assessment period. Those who do not make progress in the first assessment will be exempted from punishment, and those who have been punished the second time will be punished, and those who have been punished five times in a row will be dismissed. At the same time, all military commanders in the army will also use the achievements of the soldiers as an evaluation index to decide on rewards and punishments or promotions.

Corresponding to the comparative law, there must be a set of strict military discipline, Wang Xian on the basis of the Ming military discipline, formulated a set of orders and prohibitions, standardize all aspects of officers and soldiers, in order to let them strictly abide by, Wang Xian learned from Taizu, let everyone memorize it carefully, and randomly check the spot. Those who can memorize proficiently will be rewarded, and those who can't memorize will naturally be punished.

Hearing Wang Xian's plan, everyone was stunned at that time, but Zhu Zhanji believed that he could do it. In fact, this is Wang Xian's specialty, and what seems complicated to people in this era is not complicated in his opinion. Three days later, he wrote all the specifications into thick strips and handed them over to Zhu Zhanji for review.

Although Zhu Zhanji has been impressed by Wang Xian several times, after reading the notes he wrote, he still had to be impressed again...... If you shave your eyebrows, you'll be bald.

Even after Zhu Di read this note, he couldn't help but ask, who did this come from?

"It's my grandson's military advisor." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "It's Wang Xian who the grandson asked for from the emperor's grandfather." ”

"Hehe, the good grandson does have vision," Zhu Di squinted and smiled: "This person has the talent to govern the country, no wonder he can be accepted by Young Master Yao as a closed disciple." ”

"......" Zhu Zhanji blushed, looked at the emperor's face as usual, and whispered: "The emperor's grandfather knows everything."

"Grandpa hasn't reached the age of the back of his ear yet." Zhu Di looked at him with a smile and said.

"Actually, Master Yao wants to accept Wang Xian as an apprentice, but his old man just mentioned it, and Wang Xian doesn't want to become a monk yet, so there is no follow-up." Zhu Zhanji's heart sank, and he instantly decided to tell the truth: "If Sun Er wants to use Wang Xian, he has to let him have an identity that can suppress those disciples, so that he can call himself Master Yao's apprentice." After speaking, he lowered his head and said ashamedly: "I didn't mean to deceive the emperor's grandfather." ”

"Haha......" Zhu Di laughed loudly when he heard this: "I'll just say, Young Master Yao can't be so ridiculous, it turns out that you kid is making trouble." ”

"But Yao Shi didn't deny it." Zhu Zhanji whispered.

"Dare to quibble" Zhu Di scolded with a smile, glared at him and said: "If you want grandpa to take you on the expedition next year, you will use the jīng god who plays tricks on your heart and eyes for training."

"Obey" Zhu Zhanji raised his head and made a funny expression, which caused Zhu Di to laugh again.

After returning to the capital, the young army did not train immediately, but took a three-day vacation. After all, people are not beaten by iron, from the beginning of training, to the present nearly three months, young officers and soldiers have not rested seriously, although people in this era have no concept of holidays, but the strings that have been tightened, and if they are not loosened, they will break.

As soon as the holiday was over, the huge barracks were empty, and all the officers and soldiers poured out to have fun, and Wang Xian also rushed to the prince's mansion early in the morning...... Zhu Zhanji is particularly fun, his interests are very extensive, and he is very interested in fighting crickets, and the capital is the rì of fighting crickets in the first month of the year every year. In previous years, Zhu Zhanji had to fight at this time, but this year, because of the young army, he has not had time to have fun.

A few days ago, he began to repeat himself, telling Wang Xian that he had raised a lot of powerful crickets according to his method this year, and now he was raising jīng to accumulate sharp, and he happened to have a big battle in the past few days, killing those bastards. As his teacher who raises crickets, Wang Xian naturally has to be present and have a proud time together.

Wang Xian's playfulness is also very heavy, although he has no time to raise his own crickets this year, but it is also very enjoyable to be able to watch the battle of crickets in the capital, so he naturally agreed. The two agreed to have breakfast together today, and then set off to fight crickets.

When he came to the prince's mansion, he saw Zhu Zhanji with a black face, scolding two children who looked like him. The two children are his younger brothers, the older one is twelve years old, named Zhu Zhan, and the younger one is only eight years old, called Zhu Zhan Yong

Both children knew Wang Xian, and knowing that his brother listened to him the most, he looked at him as if he had seen a savior, and motioned for him to help solve the siege.

"Your Highness, what kind of fire is this?" Wang Xian asked with a smile.

"These two bastards are good," Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "I broke my red-robed general"

"Huh?" In the past few days, Wang Xian has listened to Zhu Zhanji talk about his ⊥-robed general, which is the most powerful one among all his crickets, and he has always been raised by a special person, and Zhu Zhanji pointed to it this time.

"The eldest brother always hides it tightly and doesn't let us see it," Zhu Zhan whispered: "We are curious about what the eldest brother's baby looks like." Taking advantage of the fact that the little eunuch who was looking at the jar was not paying attention, he secretly opened the cricket basket and took a look......"

"And then?" Wang Xian asked.

"Then it jumped out......" Zhu Zhanyong said with a crying voice: "We saw a big disaster, and quickly called someone to catch it, who knew that the goods jumped around, and actually jumped into the chicken coop of the eldest brother, and was eaten by the general of the golden flower, wooing...... "After all, fighting crickets are limited by the season, and can only be played in autumn, and the rest of the seasons can only fight others, such as cockfighting, Zhu Zhanji's yard also has a special chicken coop." told his father and master that he wanted to smell the chickens dancing, but he raised a few of the most powerful fighting cocks.

"It seems that General Jinhua is more powerful." Wang Xian listened and gave his feelings.

The two children nodded vigorously, expressing their empathy, but they were shocked by the eldest brother one by one, and they hugged their heads and mouthed in pain.

"Don't cry" Zhu Zhanji glared and scolded: "The red-robed general who folded me still has the face to cry"

"Your Highness is angry," Wang Xian persuaded with a smile, "Don't you still have the Four Great King Kongs, the Eight Great Arhats, and the Thirteen Taibao?" ”

"Those, although they are not bad, but compared to the red-robed general, they are just a few ......" Zhu Zhanji said deflatedly: "Without the red-robed general, what can I do to win my third uncle's golden-winged king?" ”

"The Goldwinged King?" Wang Xian smiled: "What a bullish name"

"It's not a waste of fame, my third uncle's cricket has won eighteen games in a row, and he has beaten invincible opponents all over the capital, and he deserves to be called the King of Golden Wings." Zhu Zhanji said gloomily: "Last year, my Yellow Tiger was defeated by his iron-headed king, and I really tried my courage for a year, and I thought that this year would be a shame before ......the snow."

"It's just not comparable." Wang Xian suggested: "Anyway, you are busy training young soldiers, and it is understandable that you don't have time to play cricket." ”

"Then how can it be done" Zhu Zhanji was anxious: "This battle was agreed with last year, if I have stage fright, how can I hold my head up after rì?" The two younger brothers also nodded and agreed, "Yes, yes." ”

"It's a fart, it's not all your fault" Zhu Zhanji glared at them fiercely, and the two boys quickly shrunk

Wang Xian couldn't understand how the face of the prince of the capital was no different from the face of the gangsters on the streets of Fuyang, until he regarded them as gangsters, and immediately understood their interests......

"What then?"

"It's too late to go to Shandong to find insects at this time......," Zhu Zhanji said in a gloomy manner. At this time, people's consensus is that Shandong crickets are the top quality, and the crickets that Zhu Zhanji and the gentlemen in the capital play with are specially sent to Shandong to find them, and they are carefully transported, just such a three-day vacation, and it will definitely be too late to go to Shandong to find them. And the best crickets are hard to find, not that you can find them if you want to.

"Let's go and see what kind of thing that Golden-Winged King is," Wang Xian thought for a moment and said, "Then think of a way." ”

"That's right, why did I forget you" Zhu Zhanji slapped his thigh, and said with a sense of blind trust: "You must have a way."

"I can't do anything but go and see the excitement." Wang Xian poured cold water on him, but Zhu Zhanji didn't believe it, so he pulled Wang Xian and walked out.

"I'll go, I'll go," the two younger brothers shouted from behind.

"How far away is it, how far away is death" Zhu Zhanji shouted, and then all shrank back.
