In the center of the iron gate mountain encirclement camp, in the large open space about ten feet away in front of the king's tent, there were tables arranged one after another.
In addition to jars of wine, there are also flags and gold medals placed on the table.
Yes, it's a gold medal.
This gold medal came from Jin Yiwei.
A few months ago, Lin Zhao reorganized the Jinyiwei. For the Jinyiwei warriors, school captains, and small banners, those who have outstanding performance or made great contributions during street patrols, arrests, investigations, and military training will not only be promoted to official positions and given rewards, but also
They will be given gold medals by thousands of high-ranking officials in public in public as a symbol of the highest honor.
That's a brand made of pure gold.
It's worth more than ten or twenty taels of silver.
The Jin Yiwei who received this honor will have a bright future.
The common people also call him the "Gold Medal Guard".
Because the "Gold Medal Guards" have indeed made great contributions to solving the problems of the people, they are extremely famous among the people of the capital.
So soon, this trend spread to the army.
In addition to the due rewards, those who have achieved military exploits during the siege of Tienwang Mountain will also be rewarded with gold medals.
Not far away, there were troops and horses from five directions accompanying him, lined up one after another.
In addition to leaving half of the troops each to guard the camp, all five battalions of soldiers and horses are here, totaling more than 10,000.
Moreover, there were also princes, ministers, nobles and nobles, all gathered on the terrace in front of the king's tent.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Grand Lieutenant of Zhou Dynasty, the Left Governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, and Meng Nantian, the Special Administrative Officer of Guanglu, strode onto the stone platform in the center, followed by four guards holding halberds.
Meng Nantian glanced at him, raised his hand slightly, and the sound of drums and trumpets stopped.
He stood on the stone platform, his voice was like a roaring bell, his breath was like rolling thunder, his voice was deep and deep, and it spread throughout the camp.
Obviously, this is excellent internal strength.
"The Holy Spirit orally commanded: China favors martial arts, and the Great Zhou Dynasty established its country with martial arts. Wushu is the foundation of the country and the pillar of the country. You should practice your battlefield skills diligently.
In the past, when the Supreme Emperor was in power, he organized a siege on the Iron Net Mountain. He once shot more than a hundred wild deer in one day and hunted two tigers with his own hands. All the soldiers shouted "Long live", and the military preparedness shocked the world.
Seeing that I have learned a lot from talented people, I have worked hard at riding and shooting, and have gained some achievements. This time during the hunt, I will compete with the best at riding and shooting.
It should be noted that the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are the pillars of the country.
If the Zhou soldiers are strong, then the Zhou Dynasty will be strong.
If the soldiers of Zhou Dynasty are weak, then the Zhou Dynasty will be in danger.
Therefore, before I launch a siege, I first set up a battle situation in order to find brave men in the army who can hunt with me.
From the prince's military honors down to the rank and file, all brave warriors can gallop on horseback for half a day, and the one who kills the most will be the winner.
To the final winner, I will not hesitate to give him the Emperor's Sword and Qilin Uniform, and I will personally award the gold medal to him. He will hunt with me in the paddock tomorrow.
May my great Zhou Dynasty and military fortune last forever!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
The emperor's emphasis on military force is definitely an exciting thing for the army.
In addition, the emperor also threw out the "Emperor Sword" and "Kilin Clothing", and "personally awarded gold medals".
Not to mention, the winner can hunt with His Majesty the next day.
What an honor is this?
Both of these are great honors, not to mention ordinary soldiers, but also noble disciples.
Therefore, everyone is gearing up and eager to try.
There are tens of thousands of Zhou soldiers, and the mountains are shouting for victory.
"No!" Meng Nantian shouted again amid the mountain's roar.
This voice could be heard clearly even among the loud shouts of tens of thousands of people.
"As I said before, for the sake of fairness, the noble disciples will be on their own for comparison, and they are not allowed to compete with ordinary soldiers."
As soon as this was said, the cheers became even louder.
That’s right!
Originally, the nobles' sons had ample opportunities to ride and shoot. As long as they practiced more, the ordinary sons would be better than ordinary soldiers.
If we compare them together, there is no need to compare them at all.
Ordinary soldiers have no chance to stand out.
Now they are competing separately, which shows that His Majesty has the heart to promote and re-employ warriors in the army.
Therefore, when he said this sentence, he immediately won the support of ordinary soldiers in the army.
At this time, a wooden terrace was built in front of the king's tent, on which were seated most of the million-strong army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as many princes and clans.
Compared to the excitement of the army, the people on the terrace seemed much calmer.
Especially the clan kings who have always been insulated from military power will not take it seriously.
Most of their attention is focused on what to have barbecue for dinner.
…
The drum beats again.
Suddenly there was a shout of horses, and countless horses, carrying countless knights, galloped out, thinking of the grasslands, dense forests, and mountains within the Tienwang Mountain area as they galloped out.
All of them were equipped with strong bows and crossbows, and some were carrying fire blunderbuss. Everyone was confident that they would catch the best prey and offer it to the emperor.
From the perspective of Emperor Xiaode, he only felt that the flags were flying and the horses were galloping. The soldiers and soldiers under his command were galloping on the grassland at the foot of Tiefeng Mountain, as if they were galloping on the grassland.
Wherever the bow and arrow hit, the prey fell down, just like the wailing nomads.
The sky is clear, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind, and cattle and sheep appear low.
In the fertile land of the river basin, horses' hooves echo in front of the high slopes in the distance, under the big trees, on the grass, and beside the river. Looking around, everything is green and full of vitality.
In the distance, horses neighed and dogs barked, wild geese flew in the sky, and animals walked leisurely, not knowing that life was about to come. The blue river, reflecting the white clouds in the sky, flowed eastward, surrounding small villages under the Iron Wall Mountain.
The lake is full of yellow, red, and purple flowers, butterflies, and bees are busy in the grass. In the lake, which is as clear and beautiful as a mirror, there are various waterfowls leisurely swimming and eating...
But the thunderous sound of hoofbeats shattered all this. With the flags and drums and horns raised, thousands of war horses were seen running everywhere like a goddess scattering flowers.
Armed with swords, shields, bows, crossbows, and leather armor, the army was like the tide of the Qiantang River, covering this hunting ground with roaring sounds.
…
The hunt is in full swing.
However, as the saying goes, insiders can only see the door, while laymen can only see the fun.
Emperor Xiaode had great talent and great strategy, so he was naturally fascinated by it.
Lin Zhao has experienced the world and is fascinated by what he sees.
But for those princes, nobles, and other people who are averse to martial arts in their hearts, this kind of program is too boring.
How exciting is it to watch a bunch of rough guys galloping and hunting?
It's better to go back to Chang'an and recite poems with the girls in the brothel.
Gradually, there were more and more voices whispering to each other.
Some talked about scriptures, some talked about poetry, some talked about women, and some talked about what to do in the future.
They can't let their children be so vulgar, how can that be done...
Lin Zhao heard all this clearly.
A smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.
It seems that his enemies are hidden deep enough.
But it doesn't matter, the person behind the scenes must be among them, he can find him!
Or can find them.
…
At this time, Emperor Xiaode's vision turned to the nearby military formation.
Although Tienwang Mountain is large, it cannot allow tens of thousands of soldiers to carry out carpet hunting, right?
So everyone takes turns.
The Royal Forest Army, the Royal Horse Supervisor, the Bashang Military Camp and the Beijing Camp, several people took turns to fight, refusing to give in to each other, and the momentum was high.
However, there was still no movement at the Wucheng soldiers and horses and the Lantian camp.
The few men and horses from the Five Cities Army and Horses Division were originally here to make up the numbers, so there was no movement. They were a bunch of cowards, and no one expected them...
However, the number of people at Lantian Camp was still the same, and no one seemed to be galloping around to kill the prey.
Emperor Xiaode couldn't help but frown slightly.
Lin Zhao glanced at it and concentrated his attention.
Listen to what the emperor and the generals of the Blue Sky Camp have to say.
