The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Zhu Houzhao followed Emperor Hongzhi to the high platform.

Next to Emperor Hongzhi were Zhu Houzhao and his ministers. The envoys sat far away. Close to Emperor Hongzhi were the envoys from Chaoxian and Hami.

The reason why Yan Chengjin made this arrangement was that the two countries had maintained tributary relations with the Ming Dynasty all year round and were relatively docile and least threatening.

The envoys all looked at the school grounds below. Apart from the soldiers standing at the stakes, there was just a large open space.

During the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty also held hunting events, and they probably knew the process.

only……

Why does this year's hunt seem a little different?

"The Ming Dynasty Hunting has officially begun!" Yan Chengjin shouted solemnly at the top of his voice.

Although I have never participated in the hunting of Yongle Dynasty.

But in his last life, Yan Chengjin participated in at least thirteen school sports meets.

I have never eaten pork, but I have seen others eating it.

I saw a team of squares walking towards the central stand. Their steps were uniform and powerful!

tread!

Tread!

"Tunting, taming!"

"What is coming to us now is the newly established field camp."

"They worked hard and cultivated tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land. They also built the high platform on which His Majesty and the envoys sit," Yan Chengjin said.

In the distance, Xu Jinzhong scolded in a low voice: "Your Majesty and the envoys are watching! Please step hard on me. If your shoes are not broken in a while, I will punish him by eating rice bran for a month!"

Tap tap tap...

Emperor Hongzhi slapped his old face hard, Zhu Houzhao applauded happily, and the ministers wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

The envoys couldn't help laughing.

Fu Han, the Minister of Rites, had his mouth open and his face was red. He was so embarrassed...

Knowing this, the Ministry of Rites teamed up with the Ministry of War to organize the hunt.

Emperor Hongzhi looked embarrassed: "Yan Qing's family, why do I feel something is wrong?"

"Your Majesty, we need some new ideas." Yan Chengjin naturally had other profound thoughts: "Although the Tuntian Camp is a newly built camp, it is extremely important. Your Majesty and the princes please pay attention to them."

Xu Jinzhong felt ashamed after breaking away from the Beijing camp and spending his whole life working in the fields without being reused by the imperial court. But now, the Supervisor of the Army asked him to do the first demonstration of the hunting opening and paid great attention to it.

Suddenly, I felt great comfort in my heart.

Next up is the Sword Soldier.

They banged their shields, their formations were uniform, and their sounds were very rhythmic.

Emperor Hongzhi's face looked better now.

Jingying was bleak and decadent, but looking at it today, he felt a little relieved that it was not as bad as he imagined.

The ministers nodded one after another, finally something satisfied them.

The Tatar envoy Mandu Lai shook his head and said with a smile: "Such a weak soldier cannot go to the battlefield."

Annan and the Tibetan envoys nodded and agreed. The Ming Dynasty relied on its superiority in military strength to fight its wars. The soldiers were far less brave and fierce than them.

Sitting not far away, Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers could hear.

Emperor Hongzhi said seriously: "The Yan Qing family, do you still remember the purpose of hunting?"

Yan Chengjin nodded in agreement. The most important purpose of this hunt was to frighten the neighboring states of the vassal state, so that they would see the Ming Dynasty's military strength, dare not invade, and continue to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Countries such as Chaos and Siam were easy to frighten, but envoys from countries such as Tatar and Annan were extremely difficult. They had been in constant disputes with the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I naturally know what's going on."

Next came the heavy cavalry.

The formation of each cavalryman was consistent, the voice was dull, and they walked slowly in front of the high platform, and the Tatar envoy Mandu Lai became even more contemptuous.

The Tatars regard cavalry as the foundation of their country, and no one knows the bravery of the Tatar cavalry.

Mandu Lai felt that he wanted to make a few remarks, and said: "In the words of your Ming Dynasty, it is still a little short of success."

But after riding and waiting for a long time, no phalanx came out.

Suddenly, the drums beat loudly!

The sound of war drums could be heard from all over the school grounds, followed by the sound of galloping horse hooves and rising smoke.

A group of soldiers and horses came out from the east. There were about five hundred people in charge.

These soldiers are different from before!

Mandu Lai could tell at a glance that these soldiers had a chilling aura that only warriors who had been on the battlefield had for a long time!

When he saw one of them, his face darkened, it was the Tatar traitor, Huhe Bari.

This should be the Ningxia Ming army that has been at war with the Tatars all year round.

At this moment, another team came from the west!

It's the Beijing Army!

In terms of momentum, the Beijing army was obviously weaker than the Ningxia frontier army.

Emperor Hongzhi began to get nervous. He and Yan Chengjin were betting that the border army would defeat the Beijing army!

But in his heart he hoped that the Beijing army would win.

Yan Chengjin saw Lin Song, and his father was so rude that he sent him back.

Fortunately, the Beijing army has Wang Shouren here!

"Form up!" Wang Shouren shouted.

The general on the Beijing side is Qianhu Taolin from the Fifth Army Camp.

Tao Lin was well-known in the Fifth Army Camp for his bravery, strategy, and martial arts skills.

But he still obeyed Wang Shouren's command.

During the military training a while ago, I refused to accept Wang Shouren and challenged him to a duel. I didn't know that this scholar was so fierce that he couldn't beat him in a fight.

"Form up!" Tao Lin shouted.

The sword soldiers divided into several groups and formed a circular formation, preparing to resist.

The general of the border army, Zhang Liang, looked at Lin Song who was keeping pace with him: "How do you want to fight?"

Lin Song shouted: "The Commander-in-Chief said that the Beijing Army is His Majesty's biological son, beat them hard!"

"Formation!"

"Feng Ya!"

The sharp arrow is an impact formation like an arrow.

Tensor Liang and Lin Song took the lead and rushed over!

Wang Shouren frowned slightly. As he expected, the frontier army relied most on cavalry attacks.

The cavalry of the Ningxia border army was trained by Wang Yue. They defeated the Tatars several times and were not inferior to the Tatar cavalry at all.

This is the power of the border army!

Wang Shouren naturally did not dare to look down upon him. He set up his arrow and drew it to full capacity in an instant. Without even looking, he shot towards the two men in the lead.

Whoosh!

The arrow flew towards Lin Song's face!

Lin Song swung his spear to deflect the arrow. The force of the arrow's shock made him pay more attention to the scholar.

Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers were a little nervous.

The envoys were frightened and thought it was an exercise.

Unexpectedly...

It’s a real fight!

Ma Wensheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, said anxiously: "Why did we really start fighting? Isn't it acting? What should we do if the fight breaks down?"

Who told you to act?

Yan Chengjin didn't take it seriously.

The military drama of the confrontation between the two armies can reveal the problem better than playing single-player all day long. Starting from the beginning of Hongzhi, the Beijing army has been stationed in the fields for more than ten years. It has never seen the enemy and does not know where the gap is.

Once drawn into the battlefield, you don't even know how to kill people.

Only by being infinitely close to reality can the decadent Beijing army be compared during the training.

Although there have been military exercises since ancient times, most of them were rehearsals of military formations. There was almost no confrontation between the two armies. There would be casualties in the fight, and the two armies were usually not allowed to confront each other.

"Idiot, beat him up!" Zhu Houzhao shouted.

Congratulations to Wang Shouren for receiving Zhu Houzhao's honorary title - Idiot.

Yan Chengjin coughed dryly: "Your Highness, Mr. Wang is here."

Wang Hua didn't know who the idiot was. He stared blankly at his son in the formation, shooting arrows one after another, with mixed feelings in his heart.

No one paid attention to Zhu Houzhao.

Who will win in the confrontation between the two armies can be seen at a glance. When the Beijing army saw the Ningxia frontier army rushing towards them, they showed signs of abandoning their armor.

Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers looked nervously as they looked at the scholar in the field. Even if Wang Shouren had great power, it would be impossible to make up for such a gap.
