The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 517 Forty military sticks per person!

To the north of the capital, at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, there is a vast Zhuangzi. It was originally the Imperial Zhuang, but during this period it was handed over to the Jinyiwei, or to be precise, it was handed over to Chen Zhao, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

It is now October, and Chen Zhao arranged for people to use horses to pull the roller to press the Zhuangzi's land once, and the places that could be leveled were leveled, and it became a training ground.

This morning, just as the city gate was opened, Chen Zhao led his guards out of the city and came to this Zhuangzi. A wooden platform was erected on the west side of Zhuangzi's pasture, and Chen Zhao stood on this wooden platform and waited.

When the sun was a little higher, people from Jinyiwei began to arrive.

Chen Zhao stood on the edge of the wooden platform, with three Jinyiwei Qianhu standing next to him. One was a royal servant who had been with Lin Ruhai for a long time. His apparent identity was Jinyiwei Qianhu Li Long. He had never returned to Beijing to report on his duties and was recognized by the emperor. The arrangement was given to Chen Zhao.

The other was a thousand households named Sun Liancheng who had defected to him after seeing his majesty that day.

There is also a guy named Zhao Hande, who is also an eyelid guy.

Chen Zhao's personal guards were all in the open space in front of the wooden platform, and grids were drawn on the open space with white ash. When someone came, the personal guards asked about the origin, and arranged to stand and wait somewhere, that is, according to the person's location. Hundreds of households are assigned positions.

The reason why Chen Zhao chose this Zhuangzi was because this Zhuangzi occupied a large area, and there was no problem in accommodating 2000 people, but now the open space in front of the wooden platform is sparsely populated.

"I looked around, and there are about 600 people. The two directly subordinate hundred households must have come, and the people who are close to them must have come. Can the rest be out of control?"

Chen Zhao looked at the open space and asked Sun Liancheng and Zhao Hande with a smile.

Chen Zhao is a newcomer to Jinyiwei, and Sun Liancheng knew everything right away: "Forgive me, my lord, the activities in our pro-army are just like this. If you take too much care of the small ones, let alone offend others, I'm afraid the superiors will punish them!"

Chen Zhao grinned, indicating that he understood in seconds.

It’s nothing more than a matter of checks and balances.

The capital is at the foot of the world, and a thousand households cannot effectively control the hundreds of households below.

This is related to the safety of the capital.

After all, with more than a thousand people in hand, it is really a sensitive force.

Chen Zhao nodded, and said again: "There are more than a thousand people under the two thousand households, but there are only four to five hundred recruits. Why are there so many other old soldiers?"

Zhao Hande continued: "Sir, in peacetime now, there are no big things. New recruits can't get promotions when they join the industry. Generally, they can't do errands until they are 40 years old. Such people are safe in their work and are not afraid of getting into trouble at the feet of the emperor. Therefore, Jin Yiwei mainly Use them."

Chen Zhao sighed, and also understood that this group of Jinyiwei had a deep background, and they were all degraded to the same level as that group of civil servants. They didn't teach anything, and only relied on their own understanding, and more things were better than less things.

Doing more is more wrong, doing less is less wrong, not doing well.

Throughout the ages, there is no exception!

"Jin Yiwei is going to be trained. This official document has been signed by Sha Dutang and the official. It must have been notified to all of your subordinates, right?" Chen Zhao asked lightly.

"Reporting to my lord, everyone has been notified. First, I called a hundred households from all over the place to report, and then rode around to watch what they passed."

"The subordinate directly arranges a trustworthy place to watch everywhere, and I have been notified!"

Sun Liancheng and Zhao Hande answered hurriedly, Chen Zhao nodded and said:
"The gates of the city are opened at the moment of Maoshi, and the gathering is at the half hour of Chenshi. That's what the military order says, right?"

"My lord is right, that's exactly what the military order says."

Chen Zhao smiled and said:

"It's already Chen time."

After saying that, he walked towards the wooden platform.

The two Qianhu looked at each other, and quickly followed the original instructions to stand at the predetermined position.

There were more than 600 people standing in the large open space, but there were just a few people here and a bunch of people there, which looked like a mess.

Some were laughing and chatting there, some were arm-stretching each other to compete, and some just sat down, not knowing whether they were talking or playing chess.

In fact, when they came in, Chen Zhao's guards had already arranged their positions for them.

But apparently, no one listened.

Instead, everyone stood randomly, and the crowds were noisy. It was more chaotic and lively than a vegetable market.

"Even though Yangzhou Wharf is busy with cargo and passenger traffic, it's not so messy." Chen Zhao said with a smile while standing on the wooden platform with his hands behind his back.

Lin Fei, his confidant, was originally Yan Ding Kongmu, who was patrolling the Yan Yushi Yamen. At this time, he followed Chen Zhao as a soldier of the Jinyi Guards. At the bottom of the feet, everyone is outstanding, but now it seems that they are just a bunch of idiots, if such guys appear during our training in Yangzhou, I am afraid that they will all be beaten to death with military sticks."

"Hehe, after a hundred years of precipitation, mud and sand have fallen. These hard-core farmers have no shortage of wages, no shortage of fun, but no errands to do, and few people are motivated. It is really normal to have such performance. After all, this is not a border, nor is it Yangzhou. "

Chen Zhao replied with a smile, looked left and right, then raised his head to look at the position of the sun, and said loudly:
"Lin Fei, let those who need training be gathered to the east. Be kind and smile at each other. Don't get angry, and don't make any moves."

Lin Fei's heart trembled, and he immediately agreed loudly.

Scanning Chen Zhao's eyes, he felt that the former master and current general was like an old fox, smiling kindly at the group of rabbits below.

According to what adults say when teaching on weekdays, this means that if you want to take something, you must give it first.

Or it is the style of literati writing articles, which calls for suppressing desires and first promoting them.

In the words that everyone understands, it is courtesy first and soldiers later.

"My lord is worthy of being a master who is going to take the imperial examination. There are so many twists and turns in my belly."

Lin Fei thought in his mind and took the order to handle it. Chen Zhao's personal guards got the order and stepped forward and began to persuade these people to go to the west. Chen Zhao issued the order. No matter how much they despised the newly trained recruits, they would do it. obey.

Standing on the wooden platform, the scene below can be clearly seen. The Jinyi guards who were happily chatting there were very impatient to be interrupted, but Chen Zhao's personal guards were nice and nice, so they just complained a few words and went to To the east.

After all, if there are people outside who want to go through the west gate, it is not good to be blocked there.

Some people have this idea flashed in their minds, and then completely ignored it.

After spending a long time, those people all went to the east.

There were a few who wanted not to give Chen Tongzhi face, but seeing that most of the people had passed by, Chen Zhao's personal guards were all smiling. It's all over.

"Lin Fei, since they have all passed, you arrange dozens of people to look after them, and don't allow the newcomers to pass, not even one!"

Lin Fei nodded silently and led his men to work again.

Dozens of guards lined up in a row, standing straight like a straight line, separating the hundreds of people to the east.

Seeing these people standing like javelins, Chen Tongzhi on the stage didn't seem to do anything else, so those who should chat continued to chat, those who should sing continued to sing, and some even sat down directly, drew a grid on the ground, and set up a battle play chess.

The newcomers were stopped by the guards from entering the crowd on the east side. They cursed a few times but did not insist on much.

But the conversation between each other, the voice is even louder.

"I heard no. This Chen Zhao was riding a horse in armor to take office. He was stopped twice by Wucheng soldiers and horses along the way. Sha Dutang and the others were also taken aback. I don't know if it was a joke or an embarrassment!"

"Looking at his posturing, he really thinks he's a character."

"Except for a few salt merchants in Yangzhou, they have their tails raised to the sky, and they actually want to show their power at the feet of the emperor."

"He only works for half a year, and if he succeeds in taking part in the examination to become the number one scholar, he feels that he has enough confidence, but we, Jinyi, form a system by ourselves, and we are not in the same league as civil servants. Who cares about his arrogance?"

"Training recruits, thinking that they are the generals at the border. They look like dogs. They made some messy things. If they knew it, they wouldn't come here. Brothers, it would be nice to go to the theater."

"It's true, tonight at the Jinxiang Tower gathering, I heard that there is a girl from Datong, and the flavor is different from the one in the south!"

The discussion was one after another, and the voice was quite loud.

Obviously, a lot of things were said deliberately for Chen Zhao's personal guard to hear.

However, Chen Zhao's dozens of personal guards had been taught by Chen Zhao for four years. They all studied and practiced martial arts. Everyone was the seed of an officer, and they did not take their cynicism seriously at all.

The so-called person who has a thunder in his heart and a face like a flat lake can be worshiped as a general.

What's the point of all the talk in front of me?

So each one of them still stood like a javelin without moving at all.

After a while, Chen Zhao turned his head and looked at the sundial, and said with a smile:

"It's a quarter!"

Then he raised his voice and said, "Close the door, and no one else can come in!"

"Yes!" Chen Zhao's personal guard immediately ran to close the door.

In fact, at this time, there were still soldiers who wanted to come in, but the gate was slowly closed, and they were not allowed to go in, without giving any face, and few of those latecomers cared.

Many people sneered and turned away.

Many people also screamed and whistled loudly.

Someone else shouted to someone they knew well: "Zhang Laowu, brothers are going to Fuqing Building first, we won't wait for you! There will be no girl by then, so don't worry about us."

"Li Laoliu, let's go to Li Chun Tower to play first. Don't be impatient. When we get there tonight, you'll have time to have fun. You're not good at that anyway!"

Someone inside immediately scolded: "Let go of your grandmother's dog! I deserve four of you!"

"Hahaha, then you can play monkey in it slowly!"

Some people shouted, some laughed and cursed, and it was a mess, but the door was still closed. Chen Zhao looked at the direction of the door, nodded with a smile, and said:
"Let the following be quiet, I have something to say!!"

Chen Zhao's personal guards looked at each other, already sensing the impending storm, they held back their smiles and continued to shout pleasantly to calm everyone down.

Since Chen Tongzhi's personal guards are so good at being a man, although many soldiers don't care, they still have to show face.

So it took an incense stick of time, and the chaotic scene gradually quieted down. Chen Zhao stood on the high platform, took a step forward, and shouted loudly: "Come on, it's time for everyone to drink tea and listen to the show. The officer doesn't intend to waste time, just issue a military order!"

"Hahaha……"

"This Chen Tongzhi is also a fellow?"

"He's so funny, but he doesn't look like a scholar."

"Let's hear what our Lord Tongzhi has to say."

All the soldiers shouted at one another,

But at this moment, Chen Zhao's face changed, and his tone suddenly became flat. His voice was not loud, but it rang in everyone's ears, as if he was speaking next to everyone.

"According to the military law, each latecomer will have [-] military sticks, and the execution will be executed immediately!"
