In this era dominated by cold weapons, the best criterion for measuring the combat effectiveness of an army is its military appearance and discipline.
The army was quickly assembled, and tens of thousands of people lined up in order, listening to Cao Guogong's lecture in silence.
It wasn't until Li Wenzhong told them that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was personally inspecting today that ripples of excitement arose in the array that had been as calm as water.
When Zhu Biao stepped forward to speak, the military formation instantly returned to silence. All the soldiers held their breath, opened their eyes wide, and looked up at their Royal Highness.
After Zhu Biao warmly encouraged the soldiers to practice martial arts and strengthen the army and achieve new achievements, under the leadership of the officers, the soldiers shouted together, "Long live the emperor, a thousand live the prince", over and over again, one wave after another.
Zhu Zhen couldn't help but secretly sigh that his eldest brother's popularity in the army was really staggering.
If this were done in other dynasties, the emperor would probably not be able to sleep...
But after the death of his adopted son Daming, Boss Zhu will not be unable to sleep, but will sleep more soundly.
Haha, we have a successor, so there is nothing to worry about.
Lao Zhu was even a little dissatisfied and felt that the prince was a bit soft. If the boss could force another palace, usurp a position or something, it would be even more perfect...
~~
After the prince's lecture was over, each of the guards took him back to continue training, except for the Habayashi guards who stayed.
Today is the day for them to accept the assessment of the Metropolitan Governor.
The reason why His Royal Highness the Prince happened to come to inspect was because the second and fourth sons were both in this army.
Today's archery assessment was conducted. The officers and soldiers of the Governor's Office set up a hundred arrow targets on the east side of the general platform. After the officials responsible for recording were in place, the assessment officially began.
The first person to undergo the assessment was Xie Yan, the chief minister of the Governor's Office and the chief of the Yulin Guards.
The founding fathers and high-ranking officials must also be tested in public. If they have diarrhea, how can they convince the public?
But none of the generals of the Ming army in this era were vegetarians. I saw Xie Yan galloping on his horse, bow and arrow, and shot six arrows in succession, all as far as two hundred steps away.
Then he shot three arrows at the target seventy steps away, and the arrows hit the bullseye. At this time, he was fifty steps away from the target, so he simply pulled out three arrows, put them on the bowstring at the same time, and performed a flurry of arrows!
Three arrows were fired simultaneously and hit the target at the same time!
There were loud cheers in the school grounds, and the prince also said happily: "The prize money will always be rewarded!"
Xie Yanlema Xie En stepped aside and watched the officers under his command undergo the test. The results were all excellent without exception.
~~
Zhu Zhen and Zhu sat next to the prince, and the brothers watched and chatted.
"This test is a bit easy for elites like the Habayashi Guards," Zhu Shayou said emphatically: "In the first few years, there were occasional officers who failed to pass the test. After practicing for a few years, they all became excellent. I think we should add more
It’s too difficult.”
"You can't just look at the guards and soldiers." The prince smiled and said: "The guards and soldiers are all carefully selected and rigorously trained to be strong and with extraordinary martial arts skills. It is still difficult for ordinary guards to cope with the current standards.
of."
"Is this standard very difficult?" Zhu Zhen asked in a low voice. Officer Yulin's excellent performance gave him the illusion that he could do it even if he fucked me.
"Is it difficult or not? You'll know later if you go up and try it." The third brother said with a teasing smile.
"Forget it, I'm not good at shooting." Zhu Zhen was self-aware after all.
~~
After the Habayashi Guard officer test was completed, the soldiers began to ride two types of tests step by step.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Zhuzhen's attention was all on the group of horseless soldiers, because Zhu Zhen and Zhu Di were all infantry.
Newcomers have to start from the infantry and have to work hard for several years before they can be selected to become a noble cavalry...
The brothers then saw the Yulin Guards infantry in units of a hundred households, standing in a row behind a white line, with an assessment officer standing behind each person.
Under the orders of Baihu, the soldiers bent their bows and set arrows one by one. The first six arrows measured the range, and the last six arrows shot at the target. After shooting the twelve arrows, the soldiers quickly stepped forward to collect the arrows and evacuated the site.
Then soldiers from the next hundred households came in for testing...
When the sixth wave progressed, Zhu suddenly shook Zhu Zhen's shoulders excitedly and whispered: "It's coming, it's coming."
"Stop shaking, I saw it..." Zhu Zhen said helplessly.
Although the Habayashi Guards were all carefully selected tall men, the second brother's generous head was still very conspicuous in the queue.
I saw His Highness the King of Qin, who was half a head taller than his colleagues around him. He was wearing the black hood decorated with copper armor in the style of the Yulin Guard soldiers, and a red water-milled helmet. As hundreds of households raised their flags, they drew out the quiver of arrows.
A feathered arrow, a bow and an arrow.
When the flag fell, the soldiers shot arrows one after another, and King Qin was no exception.
In a moment, the bows and arrows fell to the ground one hundred, fifty or sixty steps away. Only Zhu Zhen's arrow continued forward and flew to the ground after flying two hundred steps.
Then the second arrow, the third arrow...each shot by the second one was as far as 200 steps away.
And it looks like he moves with ease, but he doesn't seem to be exerting much force yet.
"The reason why it shoots two hundred steps away is because this standard bow can only shoot two hundred steps away." Zhu smiled and explained to Lao Liu: "If it were replaced by the iron spine bow we usually play, hehe..."
"Awesome." Lao Liu expressed the envy of a king.
"Want to learn? Third brother can teach you." Zhu asked with a smile.
"You don't have any intentions, do you?" Zhu Zhen looked at him suspiciously. This third child always gave people a very unreliable feeling.
"Nonsense, it's too late for Third Brother to hurt you." Zhu laughed, and suddenly there was cheering in the field, and the two of them quickly looked over.
I saw that the wooden archery target fifty steps away was shot through by someone.
"Who did it?" Zhu hurriedly asked.
"It was the second brother who did it," the prince said proudly.
"Tell the big guy to step back fifty steps and then shoot." Li Wenzhong knew how to get things done and immediately gave the order, giving the second guy a chance to show off alone.
Zhu Ping retreated a hundred steps away and fired his bow, but still hit the target steadily!
"Okay! Sharpshooter!" Zhu and Zhu Zhen then blew their dicks shamelessly.
"He is a marksman." Naturally, Li Wenzhong also spoke highly of his second cousin.
~~
Not long after the second child went down, it was the fourth child's turn.
The height of the fourth child is not so conspicuous among the Habayashi Guards.
But as soon as he took action, his skills shocked everyone. The first six arrows were shot as far as 200 steps away.
Not only did the last six arrows hit the target, but every arrow hit the bullseye.
It can be said that he is evenly matched with the second child.
Naturally, Cao Guogong wanted a bowl of water to be balanced, and he also gave the fourth brother a chance to show off his skills.
Of course Lao Si will not disappoint, all six arrows hit the bullseye a hundred steps away!
"Okay! What a strong man! Li Guang is nothing more than that!" Lao Liu clapped his hands hard and cheered with all his strength.
Because the third brother's applause was too perfunctory, he had to make up for it for the fourth brother!
"You look like you have never seen the world." Zhu clapped weakly and said disdainfully: "Third brother, let me show you who is the contemporary Li Guang someday."
Zhu Zhen gave him a big roll of his eyes. Anyone who doesn't give his brother a full round of applause is a disgrace.
ps. Today is the weekend, the update is very small, I will give you one.
