Chapter 25: The Turbulent Rain (4)

It was really not Yang Rong's idea to abolish the four guards. When the Liaodong Navy swept the Yellow Sea, Zhu Zhi always reminded himself not to be proud.

As soon as he went back to Guangning, Tie Xuan made a conclusion about how many troops Liaodong actually needed after reducing the threats to Haixi and Goryeo.

After the Battle of Haixi in June 28th year of Hongwu, Liaodong had three more guards, the Nuheli Guard, Dazhen Guard and Lalu Guard, and the troops in Liaodong reached 25 guards. As of now, the troops were not less but more.

Tie Xuan believes that the current Liaodong troops are maintained at twenty-one guards, which is enough to deal with the threat from Mongolia from western Liaoning.

According to the last-place elimination system, the Zuotun Guard of Guangning was first laid off, and each military household was divided into 50 acres of land and the resettlement cost was 5 taels of silver.

In addition, Guangning Qiantun Wei was transferred to the Nuheli Wei, Guangning rear guard formed the Dazhen Wei, Yizhou Wei and a thousand Garbin Abe Jurchens formed the Lalu Wei, and the latter was also upgraded to cavalry.

In this way, the four organizations of Guangning's left front guard, Guangning's rear guard and Yizhou guard were vacant. Tie Xuan drafted the memorial, asking the Ministry of War to abolish the four guards on the grounds that the Liaodong border was peaceful and there was no need to raise so many soldiers.

In Zhu Zhi's view, disarmament kills two birds with one stone. On the one hand, Liaodong's troops have been maintained, and even the quality has been improved after reorganization. On the other hand, while ensuring Liaodong's troops, we will continue to maintain a low-key attitude and prevent Ying Tian from feeling the sharpness of Liaodong.

Seeing Tie Hyun drafting the memorial, Zhu Zhi suddenly felt a deep sadness in his heart. A person who was building territory for the country and planting the battle flag on the territory of other countries must always be wary of the sharp sword behind him.

When he was in the court, Zhu Zhi clamped his tail and was careful to be a human being. He was among all forces and always warned himself not to show his sharpness. When he first came to Liaodong, he was quite a bit broad and allowed the fish to leap.

The feeling of being able to fly high is to revolutionize bad policies, build a military force, build a navy, and boost business.

In many aspects, Zhu Zhi seemed to have done a lot of things and achieved visible results. There was always a ghost in his heart, and everything he did was preparing for the changes in a few years.

After more than two years of hard work, the results have been revealed, but the more they have achieved, the more worried Zhu Zhi is.

The gun shot out the bird, and the citron that stood out was rotten first. These words of Zhu Zhi’s parents echoed in their ears from childhood, making him shudder. Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang admired his behavior very much, but in the future. What about that little nephew?

Zhu Zhi didn't dare to think about it anymore. Now he was facing a contradiction, either continuing to develop and strengthen his own strength; but once his strength was too strong, would he replace Zhu Di and become the first vassal king to be stripped?

Contradictions are contradictions. But sometimes people are involuntarily unable to get off the pirate ship when they walk on a fast lane. Zhu Zhi is as careful as possible within the area where he can control it, but if the thief wants to harm you, you will never escape no matter what.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhi was rekindled to work again.

"Next to announce the ranking of the speed horse racing team competition, third place Yulin Right Guard, runner-up Dingliao Central Guard, champion... Guangning Central Guard! Please come to the stage to receive the prize." Ye Wang, on the stage, announced in a thunderous voice.

The Guangning Central Guard Representative Team's overwhelming cheers were recalled in the square formation of the Guangning Central Guard. Chu Zhi, the commander of the Guangning Central Guard, took the winning troops to rush to the general's stage in three steps and two steps, waving his hands around while walking.

Zhu Zhi stood up with a smile and took the gilded galloping horse trophy on the table. Chu Zhi stood there because of armor, so he only stood up and saluted. Zhu Zhi handed the trophy to him and patted him on the shoulder: "No, good job."

Go and enjoy the glory of Guangning Central Guards for a week." Ye Wang ate the gold medal for the ten winning soldiers. Chu Zhi led his subordinates to salute Zhu Zhi and everyone on the stage, quickly stepped off the stage and flew on the horse, and rode around the field for a while.

When Chu Zhi and his team passed by the Yulin Right Guard team, the commander Zhang Lun said angrily to Qu Neng: "General, this is unfair. Guangning Central Guard is all Jurchens. There are also some Mongolians in Dingliao Central Guard participating in the competition."

Qu Neng smiled and waved his hand: "General Zhang, why bother to worry about these things? Let's just train the troops well. If you know the shortcomings, you should catch up." Zhang Lun kept silent.

The Liaodong Dusi Military Skills Games has entered its third day. This is a competition to test the level of military training organized by the Liaodong Dusi.

As early as a year ago, in order to judge the comprehensive strength of each garrison, the Dushi formulated four standards of "winning, training, exercises, and discipline". Winning is easy to measure. As for how to measure this training level? So there was such a sports meeting.

The major accountants include six major events, including horse racing, riding and shooting, stunning, sprinting, formation, long-distance marching, and other 28 minor events. In addition to the scout guards and Jinzhou guards, a total of 19 guards participated in the Liaodong.

Zhu Zhi has formulated a lottery system ingeniously for the setting of group contestants. In group events, all teams in the competition are temporarily drawn according to the roster.

Zhu Zhi has always believed that some modern military competitions are very funny. Each unit specializes in training some top professionals to win awards, which does not greatly promote the training level of the entire army.

Therefore, the group events of the competition must be random draws, only one month in advance, and the roster must not be false after arriving at the scene. This also prompts the chiefs of the guard to train all their subordinates diligently.

For example, in the Speed ​​Horse Racing Team Competition, each cavalry guard draws a team of ten people, which is randomly. This time, the Guangning Central Guard is very lucky and draws a team of all Jurchens. How could these Jurchen warriors let the gold medal slip away?

There were also few Mongolian tribes attached to the Central Guard of Dingliao who were attached to the early Ming Dynasty, so they were able to narrowly defeat the Yulin Right Guard to win the runner-up.

DuSi specially made a competition outline, with a total of more than 50 events. Every year, the competition events will be randomly selected, which also ensures that each guard will not specifically train certain fixed events for good results.

Of course, this competition outline is evolved from the eleven training subjects of cavalry and thirteen training subjects of infantry in "March Minutes". As long as you practice the "March Minutes", the competition will be better.

After the collective speed horse racing, only cavalry and shooting were left in all events, and the two major events of foot shooting were not carried out. In terms of cavalry, Guangning Central Guard led the Dingliao Central Guard by four points in total.

Only within one championship; in terms of infantry, the usually unknown Liaohai Guard emerged and swept through three championships in four long-distance marching events, and suddenly defeated Dingliao's Right Guard and Tieling Guard two top guards temporarily ranked first.

The following event is the individual riding and shooting competition. This competition is attended by each guard.

The veterans of the Yulin Guard and Dingliao Right Guard whispered: "Oh, fortunately, I have decided to have less than a hundred households to participate, otherwise this champion must be the Little Horse King. Are you in the Second Battle of Sarhu? Yes.

That day, we commanded the rioters and commanded two arrows to rush to the position and generals. I was next to the little horse king at that time."

"No, I'm by my side too. Where can I use two arrows? I saw with my own eyes that it was a result of one arrow."

"Nothing, it's two arrows..."

The Pony King ignored the situation on the school field and was catching the team who was drawn out to participate in the stairs and shooting team competition to give a speech. The Pony King stared at the people in the team with his big eyes.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped and pointed at a person and said, "Ma Lao Er, you, I touched an egg at my fellow villager's house last month. I remember you. This time I won the championship, let's get bothered. If something goes wrong, I will see how I deal with you.

And you. What's your name? Oh yes, Cheng Xue, remember if I taught you the trick in the morning? Well, yes, that's it, I guarantee you will definitely be inseparable.

Captain, what is your name? Wang Zheng, yes, it's my family, I know you. You are very awesome. In order to protect the flag, you cut down seven Tartars and died heroically. I am a hero.

Remember it for me. When you compare 150 steps, remember to grab the soil before ejaculation, and then report the reading.

Let me tell you everything. We are the best guards, so we can't let the middle guards like the Liaohai Guard ride on their heads. After winning the championship, I invite you to the best restaurant in Guangning to drink flower wine; but I will make a big deal. Oh.

If you don’t know how to smash the ground, my little horse king’s soldiers will never smash! Give me some energy." Ten soldiers burst into laughter.

As he was talking, the individual champion of riding and shooting on the field was decided, and the Jurchen Tale from the newly formed Laluwei won the championship.

Although he shot only ninety rings out of ten arrows, with the last arrow, he had a sudden inspiration to shoot a sparrow that fluttered his wings behind the target.

Zhu Zhi clapped and laughed, allowing him to become the champion. The Jurchens came from Garbin Abe who revolted on the battlefield. Zhu Zhi did this and had the selfish intention of winning over new people.

However, the entire army believed that when the Little Maar King and Nima were not on the field, Tale could only be the third in the entire army.

The Little Pony King finally got his wish. The team led by Wang Zheng won two championships and one second in the triathlon of the Archery Team Competition, and the Tieling Guard won one championship. The Liaohai Guard was obviously not good at it and only won one second.

In the end, the Dingliao Right Guard won the championship of the infantry in the competition with a five-point advantage. A middle-class guard like Liaohai Guard actually beat Tieling Guard and won the second place in total.

After accepting the championship trophy, the Pony King became very angry and took three arrows in front of the stage. The first arrow hit the red heart 150 steps away; the second arrow also shot a sparrow flying through the air; the third arrow shot down a branch more than 100 steps away.

The little horse king showed his hand, and the cheers of the audience were like the sky and the earth were broken. Zhu Zhi shook his head and smiled bitterly, and he became the fourth-rank commander, but he was still the little horse king who was not afraid of the world.

But the place where the greatest honor is not the Little Ma Wang, but the Liaohai Guard. According to the rules set before the game, any garrison that can surpass the top-level guards in the total team will be awarded the Preparatory Qualification for the Top-level Guards.

This means that the Liaohai Guard, an originally unknown infantry guard, can be upgraded to the sixth main force in Liaodong after passing the test of exercises and actual combat, and obtain the same personnel, equipment and treatment as the superior guards.

The commander of the Liaohai Guard, Zhuang Zhai, raising the military flag of the upper-class guards, was jealous of all the commanders of the other middle-class guards. Compared with those empty honors, this is a real glory.

The cavalry champion eventually fell into the hands of Guangning Central Guard. Zhu Zhi noticed that in addition to the team and marching champions, other guards could also be involved in the cavalry and shooting champions, all the champions of the Dingliao Central Guards and Guangning Central Guards were monopolized by the Jurchens and some Mongolians in their team. The talents that the Han people have were always incomparable to that of the Han people.

Looking at the high morale of the entire army, Ye Wang said excitedly: "I really didn't expect that such a sports meet would achieve such an effect. Your Highness, the morale of the three armies is high and they are all eager to try. Just now, a few commanders asked when the next year will be held.

”

Zhu Zhixin said, of course you don’t know that in that era, when the Olympics and Asian Games were held, wouldn’t our country rely on this to increase the morale of the whole people? But he replied: “This superficial honor is only temporary. The key is that these commanders attach importance to daily training. General Ye, do you see if you hold another meeting to remind everyone?
