On this day, Xiong Sen finally showed his true colors.

Pulling the idle and boring Wan Yancheng, he left the capital and headed straight to the east of the city. After running to a Jinyiwei camp, Xiong Sen said carelessly: "I said I'm old, you have to show my brothers today, You guys are more proficient in this job of killing people on horseback. You signed it last time in the Qingfeng Pavilion. You can't hide it today, or I won't take you out to play next time. "

Wanyancheng said helplessly: "Wanyan, Wanyan!"

Xiong Sen pretended to be stupid and said: "Understood, I am old. Don't worry, you will talk to your brothers well today, and I, Lao Xiong, will take you to Qingfeng Pavilion later."

Wanyan Cheng said: "Damn it, my surname is Wanyan, not Wan! Also, next time I won't go to Qingfeng Pavilion."

Xiong Sen said: "What's the matter? The Qingfeng Pavilion doesn't suit your old taste? Let me tell you, the Qingfeng Pavilion is not something anyone can go to if they want to. You have to have an identity. Identity, do you know what it means?"

Wan Yancheng, who was completely helpless with Xiong Sen, said honestly: "I don't know."

Xiong Sen said: "Identity, for example, my old Xiong, the son of heaven is in the army, and you are the guard of the concubine Wan's family when you are old. This is your identity. If you change to ordinary people, the old bustard in Qingfeng Hall will not let you in. understand?"

Wanyan Cheng was speechless, and held back for a long time before saying in a muffled voice: "Can you call me Wanyan? Don't call me old, can you? I beg you! The food in Qingfeng restaurant is delicious, but the song is sung What is it, I don’t understand it, and I don’t bother to think about it. It’s okay if you let me cut people with a knife. You’d better not ask me for this kind of listening to music. Also, the wine there is also light Ruthless, next time you can't find a place where the wine is stronger and let me have a good drink?"

Then Xiong Sen suddenly said: "Oh, I said, why do you drink so little every time when you are old, like that cat drinking water, so the wine is not to your liking. Well, next time, I, Old Xiong, will take you to get drunk Go to Xianlou for a drink, the wine there is very good, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Only then did Wanyan Cheng grin and say: "Success, then it's settled, I will listen to your arrangement today, and I promise that there will be no secrets, and I will say whatever I know."

Xiong Sen also laughed loudly and said, "Okay, okay, okay, let's go when you are old enough to say this."

The two entered the school grounds talking and laughing, watching a group of Jinyi guards crawling around on the school grounds, and groups of cavalrymen passing by in the distance, their sabers in their hands slashing at boots made of straw from time to time, Xiong Sen Asked: "How is it?"

But I never thought that Wan Yancheng's compliment was not there at all.Just listen to this tall and strong but dark-skinned guy grinning and said: "If it is on flat ground, I am not an opponent, and I will probably die in the hands of these people soon. If it is on the horse, hehe."

While speaking, he stopped talking.Seeing this, Xiong Sen knew that this guy was playing tricks, and immediately asked: "You bastard, leave half of what you say! Tell me, what will happen right away?"

Chapter 125 Learning from Others

Wan Yancheng laughed, but he didn't mention what would happen in the immediate confrontation, instead he asked, "Old Xiong, do you know that there was a talk about the eagle archer in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty? In the book, there is also the legend of the parachutist? And what about Mangu, have you heard of it?"

Xiong Sen scolded with a smile: "Don't bully my old Xiong who doesn't read much! Of course I know about parachutists, I seem to have heard of eagle archers, but I don't remember clearly. And what is Mangu? Tell me, what's the situation? ?”

Wan Yancheng said: "A pair of arms of the eagle shooter is worth ten thousand gold! On the grassland, even if the eagle shooter is captured, no tribal leader is willing to kill him. high price to redeem it. As for Mangu?

Before Wan Yancheng could finish speaking, Xiong Sen said in shock: "Fuck! These arms are really valuable! I said Lao Wan, let's go to Jiannu's side some other day to get a sculpture shooter and take off his arms, wouldn't it? Want to get rich?"

Wan Yancheng said with black lines all over his face: "A shoulder that has been taken off is worthless! But the Emperor of Ming might like it, right?"

Xiong Sen said with a chuckle: "Of course I know that the shoulders that have been removed are worthless, but whether it is to dedicate the complete carving hand to the emperor as a slave, or to simply remove the shoulders of the carving hand, the emperor will definitely be happy. , when the time comes, this reward from you and me will be indispensable."

Wan Yancheng was speechless, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't interrupt, just listen to me."

Seeing that Xiong Sen didn't speak anymore, Wanyan Chengcai continued: "Everyone knows how to shoot an arrow, but the eagle archer can shoot down the eagle in the sky, and your parachutist can shoot the arrow into the stone, I also admire it Very. It can be seen that there is no difference between the grassland and the Ming Dynasty when it comes to archery, but you still can’t beat Jiannu in cavalry, why haven’t you thought about it?”

Hearing this, Xiong Sen thought to himself, it's not like you haven't seen Lao Tzu's level before, and asked knowingly, didn't this deliberately slap Lao Tzu in the face?Immediately said awkwardly: "My old Xiong is just a guard in Jinyi, why do you think so much?"

Wan Yancheng said: "Since the bows and arrows are similar, there are only two possible reasons. One is the reason of people, and the other is the reason of the tactics."

Xiong Sen said: "How do I understand these things? You still understand this? Tell me quickly."

Wan Yancheng said contemptuously: "You are from Daming, but you don't know as much as I, a savage on the grassland, are you ashamed?"

Xiong Sen said triumphantly: "Who are you throwing away? If you don't understand, I will learn. Tell me quickly."

Wanyan Cheng said: "Think about it, when you first established the Ming Dynasty, you also swept the border many times, right? The Meng Yuan was so invincible back then, wasn't it also defeated by you?"

Xiong Sen said happily: "That's right, Meng Yuan is nothing, why not be beaten like a dog by my Daming."

Wan Yancheng said: "Now you beat them like dogs and I'll see."

Xiong Sen, who was complacent, couldn't get complacent, and lowered his head and said: "Damn, I can't beat it now." After finishing speaking, he cheered up and said: "But it doesn't matter, you are so good right now, isn't it just I’m here to ask you for advice? I won’t interrupt, you can continue.”

Wan Yancheng ignored Xiong Sen's dog-legged appearance, and said: "Anyway, I don't know why, your current fighting style is obviously not as good as Jiannu's, and you are all farming, unlike Jiannu and others. Like our Xibe people, most of them want to hunt and herd. They grew up on horseback since they were young. Of course, the cavalry is worse than you. As I said just now, on the ground, those few people easily It can kill me, but if it’s on horseback, as long as you don’t use firecrackers or anything, with the same number of people or as long as the difference is not too big, those few people just now will be easily killed by me.”

Xiong Sen knew that what Wan Yancheng said was the truth, but he didn't lose face when he lost his face. He said stiffly: "Okay, I know you are arrogant, why don't you go to heaven if you are arrogant. Hurry up and talk about it, don't talk about it, it's useless of."

Wan Yancheng was completely defeated by Xiong Sen's shamelessness, and said helplessly: "It's simple, one is to strengthen training, and the other is to use more new tactics."

Xiong Sen was also helpless, and asked: "What's the training, what new tactics?"

Wan Yancheng said: "In fact, I don't know how to strengthen training. Anyway, we have been riding horses since we were young. If we want to hunt, we have to shoot arrows on horseback. We have gradually learned it. As for the tactics, to put it bluntly, there is nothing new. .Meng Yuan's set of tactics is very useful. What kind of Mangu is good enough to deal with Jiannu. The pursuers we encountered last time are actually considered strong among Jiannu, but they are not Or was it resolved?"

Speaking of this, Wan Yancheng swallowed, and then said: "Speaking of this, I have to say that you guys are really ugly. First the firecrackers, then the hand crossbows, and finally the knives. We Xibe people If there were these guys in your equipment, Jian Nu would have been gone long ago."

Xiong Sen didn't care about these equipments. Anyway, some people were worried about this matter. There were useful guys. Jinyiwei himself was the first to equip them, but he was very interested in the Mangu that Wanyancheng repeatedly mentioned. After all, I don't understand this thing, so I asked Wanyan Cheng, "What's the situation with Mangu, please tell me."

Wan Yancheng was almost annoyed by Xiong Sen, and said helplessly: "Big brother, you are really my big brother, this thing must be recorded in your book. Meng Yuan is very good at playing this trick. To put it bluntly, it is to send someone When you rush to the enemy side, a shower of arrows will run straight there, attracting the enemy to chase, while running, you will turn around and shoot arrows, causing the opponent's formation to collapse, so it's up to you?"

Xiong Sen seemed to have found a treasure, and said happily: "Reliable, reliable, we will be in Zuixianlou for a while, and we will talk about it when the time comes."

When Xiong Sen managed to come up with the words, including these tactics and so on, when they were sent to Chongzhen’s desk, what he got in exchange was a reward from Emperor Chongzhen and a sentence of “Strengthen training, military discipline is the first. Study hard, break the building early.” slave."

In fact, Chongzhen was not very interested in these things like manguxie at the beginning.In his opinion, queuing up and shooting is the kingly way, and cavalry will have to withdraw from the stage of history sooner or later. Now that Ming's flintlock rifles are making great strides forward under the auspices of Xu Guangqi and that grandpa Bi, it is probably not far from the elimination of shooting that he thought in his heart. It's far away. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort and money to spend more effort on cavalry now?

It wasn't until Cui Chengxiu and Zhang Weixian, the British prince who was ordered to enter the palace, explained repeatedly that Chongzhen realized how valuable these things Xiong Sen asked were.

Chapter 126 The Death of Zhengde

After all, Chongzhen came through time travel from later generations. In his memory, there is no problem that cannot be solved by one attack. If there is, then another attack will be made.It doesn't matter whether it's a bullet or a cannonball or an atomic bomb, one shot at a time and things can always be resolved.

But what Zhang Weixian and Cui Chengxiu said now broke his fantasy or dream.Because of the firearms that Daming possesses now, it is better to rely on one shot to solve his troublesome problems.

Take Liaodong as an example, those guys in the later generations, not to mention the big killers like mushroom bombs, but those red flags, five pairs of wheels, etc., just get some, and aim at Jiannu After so many rounds, Liaodong no longer had any problems.

But what about Daming now?Not to mention the five pairs of wheels and the red flag, even the Hongyi cannon, once shot down, it can only destroy tens of meters, and it is an extravagant hope to destroy hundreds of meters.For example, the old slave Nurhachi, who claimed to be beaten to death by Yuan Chonghuan, didn't he run to the grassland for a while before he died after being beaten?

It can be seen from this that the so-called firearms nowadays are basically just a sound.

Chongzhen was thinking about the good things of later generations, and was thinking happily when he could produce these things in Daming and post them to Jiannu, when he heard Zhang Weixian's voice: "Your Majesty, now my cavalryman of Daming The cavalry who couldn't defeat the slaves, and the ordinary guards were rotten to this point, in fact, the roots still came from the orthodox years."

In fact, Chongzhen really wanted to tell Zhang Weixian that he didn't even know when the Zhengtong year was..., what he knew, except for Hongwu, Yongle, Chenghua, Zhengde, Tianqi and Chongzhen, the other emperors didn't have much impression at all.But in order not to show his ignorance, or to cover up the fact that he is a time traveler, Chongzhen just hummed lightly and said: "The British Duke continued. I listen. You just say, whatever you want, I won't care."

Zhang Weixian actually wanted to say it a long time ago, but he didn't dare to say it.All the nobles in the Ming Dynasty wanted to say it, but no one said it.Since the Civil Fortress was built, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty have been played like dogs by the civil officials. After all, the world belongs to the emperor, and if he offends the civil officials, he will bear the consequences.

But now, looking at the strength of Emperor Chongzhen's slaughter of civil servants, Zhang Weixian saw the hope of the revival of the nobles.After rationalizing his thoughts, Zhang Weixian said: "Your Majesty, do you know Zhang Taiyue who presided over the reform during the Wanli period?"

In fact, Chongzhen didn't know who Zhang Taiyue was at all, but when he mentioned the Wanli period, and mentioned the reform, and his surname was Zhang, then this Zhang Taiyue should be Zhang Juzheng without a doubt.Chongzhen nodded, and said: "Mr. Taiyue presided over a whip method, which made the treasury a lot, of course I know."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Weixian said: "Your Majesty, forgive me. Your Majesty only knows Zhang Taiyue's reform, but you know that Qi Nantang, who has trained such a strong soldier as Qi's army, wants to call himself a lackey in his letter to Zhang Taiyue? Even so In order to get enough military pay, you have to keep presenting your navel and sending Qian Jinji and Zhang Taiyue away?"

Chongzhen was furious when he heard the words.A dignified generation of famous generals, even his own teacher on the opposite side, actually wants to call himself a lackey?Where is the son of heaven?When will a mere cabinet, a secretarial office, be able to decide on major military affairs?

Although he was furious in his heart, Chongzhen still looked calm and calm. After all, his acting skills were not enough, and he had to rely on facial paralysis to make up for it.After a soft "huh", Chongzhen continued: "Forget it, it's all in the past. After all, it's good for General Qi to attack Japanese slaves in the southeast. Let these things pass."

Zhang Weixian bowed and said: "Your Majesty is merciful. These things were the norm before Your Majesty's Royal Highness. The root cause is actually the change of the Tumu Fort during the Zhengtong period. Since the Tumu Fort, the military generals of the Ming Dynasty Even if His Majesty wants to improve the status of warriors, the serious illness is hard to get rid of, and the change is not very big in a short time."
