"Knives and guns have no eyes. Let's compete in martial arts and fight until the point is reached!"
As Yang Boxing, the chief military officer of Yulin Town, gave an order, the atmosphere in the Yanzhou teaching field suddenly became solemn.
Bi Kunyang held a seven-foot-seven spear in his hand. He pointed the spear a little, and the spear came out like a dragon. The spear whirred, but the head of the spear did not shake, because it was an iron spear. The blade was long and heavy, and the barrel was composite and flexible.
Wrapped with iron, the whole gun is extremely heavy, and the moves it uses are even more open and closed, with great force and force. This is the Bi family's marksmanship that has been passed down in the world for a long time.
On the other hand, Wu Junqing swung his spear, but it shot out nine spearheads, like plum blossoms blooming, making it difficult to tell the real from the real. This is a master of Northland marksmanship who is as famous as Bi Kunyang in the world.
"It's embarrassing!"
Chu Fusheng from Shanghai also ended up carrying a spear. He practiced physical strength and internal strength. He was good friends with Wu Junqing Bi Kunyang. He learned spear from both of them and then created his own Siping Spear. He was tall, burly and powerful, and his spear was both hard and soft.
Ji, when it dances, it is difficult for hundreds of people to get close to it.
"I didn't expect to see the world-famous Three Guns today. It's really a worthwhile trip. A boxing champion from Ningbo Yin County came to Xian for advice."
A strong man in his thirties also walked out. He was bare-chested, but his hands were wearing a pair of iron fist gloves with protruding nail heads, which made him look ferocious.
It is said that the sword of the year is as good as the stick and the spear. They also say that boxing is afraid of young people, and young people will be beaten to death by boxing.
Yang Boxing said in front of Zhu Yihai, "Although Wang Laixian is young, he is very good at internal martial arts and is also proficient in the art of acupuncture. He previously revolted from Qian Su Le Gong and became the instructor of the camp. This time he was recommended by Qian Gong to come to the imperial camp."
As a bodyguard."
When Yang Boxing was collecting firewood and working as a woodcutter in Ningbo, he heard Wang Laixian's name countless times at the dock. Once someone was disrespectful to Wang Laixian. He used a trick on Wang Laixian's acupuncture points, making the person unable to pee for three days, and finally kowtowed to apologize.
He figured it out.
"He can kill a big buffalo with one punch!" Yang Boxing added, "I saw it with my own eyes."
Zhu Yihai nodded. The acupoints were a bit magical, but killing a buffalo with one punch was definitely very brave and required some skills.
"Fu Shan, Taiyuan, Shanxi, please give me advice!"
A middle-aged man wearing a red Taoist robe and a Taoist bun walked off the stage with a sword on his back.
When he saw this man, Zhu Yihai also became energetic. This man was very famous. Even though he was wearing a Taoist robe, he had already become famous all over the world. He was born in a family of officials and scholars in Shandong. His great-grandfather Fu Chaoxuan was also the son-in-law of Ninghua County Prince's Palace.
, my grandfather Fu Lin served as a counselor in Shandong and prepared military equipment in Liaohai.
Fu Shan received a good family education since he was a child, and was well-read and knowledgeable. He was a disciple of the doctorate at the age of fifteen, and took the higher education examination at the age of twenty. He later studied at Sanli Academy and was taught by Yuan Jixian, a scholar from Shanxi. He was the most favored disciple of the Yuan family.
Yuan Jixian was a loyal minister who died for his country when he was the governor of Jiangxi, Huguang, Anqing and Yingtian during the Hongguang period. He was captured and refused to surrender, and was escorted to Beijing and killed. Before that, Zhu Yihai issued an imperial edict to posthumously award the prince a title, which was included in the Loyalty Record.
During the Chongzhen period, Yuan Jixian was originally the minister of the Ministry of War, but was later demoted to Shanxi to study. Shanxi inspector Zhang Sunzhen fabricated charges and imprisoned him. Fu Shan complained about the injustice for his teacher, contacted hundreds of students, signed a petition, and went to Beijing to teach.
The teacher redressed his grievance and published public notices all over the capital to clarify the truth. After seven or eight months of struggle, the teacher was finally aggrieved. Because of this incident, Fu Shan became famous in the capital and was praised throughout the world.
A loyal and filial scholar like Huang Zongxi who avenged his injustice.
Later, Yuan Jixian returned to Hubei Province, but Fu Shan had no intention of pursuing an official career and chose to stay at Sanli Academy to give lectures. After the Chu army broke into Beijing and Chongzhen committed suicide, Fu Shan put on a vermilion Taoist robe and was named Taoist Zhu Yi to show his memory of Zhu Ming.
He refused to surrender to the intruders and Donglu, and refused to accept recruitment and surrender.
Later, Fu Qingzhu was forced to flee because he conspired with Shanxi generals and gentry to restore justice, but the affair was revealed. He heard that King Lu in eastern Zhejiang was supervising the country and was aggressive and determined, so he came south.
It sounds like Fu Shan is just a scholar or a gentleman, but this man is erudite and knowledgeable. He is not only proficient in Chinese classics and history, but also in various doctrines introduced from the West, and even various religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, and Crescent Moon.
After studying, he is still a holy hand with excellent medical skills.
Of course, he is also a master of the family and is good at using swords. He is a master of swordsmanship.
The five of them each showed their talents on the school field.
Bi Kunyang's iron spear, Wu Junqing's flower spear, Chu Fusheng's Siping spear, Wang Laixian's Neijiaquan and Fu Qingzhu's sword.
Fists and swords were coming, and the gun was whistling.
The five masters competed on the field. This was not a one-on-one competition, but a brawl between five people, which showed their skills even more.
It is necessary to attack, but also to defend.
After fighting for a while, there was no winner, but Zhu Yihai was so excited that he couldn't help but stand up and applaud loudly.
"Everyone, please stop."
"Today, the five of you will compete in a competition. Regardless of the winner or loser, I will be awarded the title of fifth-grade imperial guard and instructor of the imperial army's vanguard."
The avant-garde of the government army, one of the 26 guards of the Ming Dynasty emperor's personal army, commanded the young army and took turns carrying sword guards. It was first established in the Yongle period. The young army was specially selected for the emperor's grandson, and the avant-garde of the government army was set up to control the second division.
Fifteen, he commanded tens of thousands of young troops at his peak.
The palace guards of the Ming Dynasty were composed of a variety of military units, including the Han generals of Jin Yiwei, the fork and knife guards of the fifth army camp, the red helmet generals of the three thousand battalions, the Mingjia generals of the three thousand battalions, the honor guards, the scattered cavalry soldiers, and the former government troops.
The avant-garde and other guards and the swordsman and so on.
In addition to the sword-bearing officers in the vanguard of the imperial army, the other bodyguards were mostly made up of descendants of relatives or soldiers with ceremonial functions.
Only the sword-bearing officers of the imperial army's avant-garde were directly selected from the general officers of the imperial guard, which was very special.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the term "Youngjun" did not specifically refer to the vanguard of the government army, but to the young soldiers, who were originally too young to participate in the war and were doing miscellaneous tasks in the garrison.
But when Yongle set up the vanguard of the imperial army, the young army was different. Those who were in their twenties and thirties were selected from the brave men of the people. They were not filled by hereditary military households. They were a young recruiting force.
At that time, this army was called the Liangjia of the Six Counties.
This is related to the situation at that time. Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, sent a large number of elite guardsmen to accompany him when he was sweeping the north. However, he did not want the standard of his beloved emperor's grandson's bodyguards to be lowered, so he recruited new soldiers to maintain the standard.
However, although the young army was large in number at that time, its status was low. However, later on, the young army of the front guard of the government was gradually depleted, leaving only the front guard of the government with the responsibility of guarding the sword officer.
Nowadays, Zhu Yihai's imperial army no longer uses the original system, and only a few of the twenty-six guards are left with their names, such as Banner, Yulin, Jinwu, Warrior, Yongwei, etc.
But it's different from the original one.
Now Zhu Yihai has established a new vanguard of the government army and needs to replenish the young army. This young army is also different from the original young army.
This new young army selects children from loyal families between the ages of sixteen and twenty, and gives priority to the children of soldiers who have died fighting for the country.
The infant army at the vanguard of the government army is actually a student army. Zhu Yihai plans to keep it by his side and personally teach him a completely new army, creating a reliable and usable new army that will serve as both a guard and the seed of the future army.
Training, duty, and after a few years of sharpening, he is then sent to other armies to serve as grassroots officers, and gradually becomes the backbone of the army.
This will be the tenth town of the Royal Guards.
Fu Qingzhu and other martial arts masters were appointed by Zhu Yihai as sword-carrying guards before the emperor, and also as sword and spear instructors for the avant-garde army of the government.
While establishing the avant-garde infantry of the imperial army, Zhu Yihai also established the Qinxunyi Three Guards Battalion. The three guardsmen camp selected the children of relatives, honorable ministers, and civil and military officials as attendants. While receiving military training,
Taking on the duties of an attendant even has a hint of a hostage, which in turn helps to communicate with the ministers. It can even be regarded as a kind of reward and welfare for the ministers. After all, being able to become the emperor's personal attendant is also a good official career.
The way.
Liu Mu's two sons Liu Zhaoxiang and Liu Zhaoji, as well as Chu Fusheng's disciples Wang Dufan and Chi Tianrong, Fu Shan's son Fu Mei, nephew Fu Ren, etc., were all transferred to the avant-garde young army of the Fu army, with the right Qian Du as the imperial guard.
Shi Xiong Rulin was appointed as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War as the chief soldier of the avant-garde young military camp of the Admiral's Mansion.
Xiong Rulin was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Chongzhen's reign and served as the magistrate of Tong'an County, Fujian Province. During his tenure, he led troops across the sea to defeat the Dutch colonists in Xiamen. He was later promoted to Huke and Shizhong. He and Sun Jiaji launched an uprising in Yuyao and recruited tens of thousands of people to build Sun Xiong's army.
Although he was a civil servant, he was extremely loyal, courageous and very sharp. When he was guarding Qiantang, he would lead his Xiong Army into battle no matter how big or small the battle was. He would be the first to charge, take the lead, and take the lead in every battle. Although he would win or lose, he would be defeated.
I have no regrets and will never be discouraged.
With this kind of energy, Zhu Yihai felt that it was very suitable for him to lead the young army.
The young army will be a group of young student soldiers recruited, and brave veterans will be selected from various towns in the imperial camp to serve as non-commissioned officers and receive training together.
These students are like a blank piece of paper. What they need most is loyalty and courage, guaranteed food, pay, equipment, and adequate training. Zhu Yihai believes that this young army will shine in the future.
An army like Fang Guoan cannot be trusted. In troubled times, he still has to build an elite new army by himself. The imperial camps and towns are Zhu Yihai's real capital and hope for recovery.
"In order to show that it is different from the original infantry camp of the Imperial Army's avant-garde, it was renamed the Tenth Town of the imperial camp and was given the name Qianniu Town. The sword officer was appointed as the Qianniu Guard and was awarded the Qianniu Sword."
Legend has it that the Qianniu Sword, which can kill a thousand oxen with one blow, was a royal weapon carried by the imperial guards in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. When the emperor approached, except for the Qianniu Bishen and other guards who could carry imperial weapons, the rest of the guards could only carry wooden swords and swords.
For ceremonial purposes.
Yulin, Jinwu, Qianniu, Banner, Shenji, Yongwei, Yongshi, Shizhong, Fubo, Dinghai, Yuying ten towns, plus the three thousand and five army towns of Jingying, this has begun to take shape.
.
Qianniu Town has also temporarily designated ten camps, and young and brave children from Zhongliang families from various places are selected to serve as camp coaches.
"Your Highness, there is a ship coming from Shaoxing."
"It's the cabinet ministers, the ceremonial supervisor, and other eunuchs who are here."
Zhu Yihai just frowned after hearing this. He had expected it to come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
"What a headache."
He wanted to send troops to stop them and prevent them from coming, but he also knew that this would not work.
"Forget it, just come and let Zhu Shengli lead the Jinwu cavalry to greet him."
The things he did in Yanzhou seemed to have made the ministers in the industry restless. This wave was coming with great force.
