Unparalleled Concubine

This is the Great Jin, the Habayashi Guard camp.

Li Xin shook his head, and smiled at Wang Zhong: "Master Wang made fun of it, it's all lip service, and it's not good. Master directs."

Wang Zhong shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"The old man can help you once or twice, but he can't help you three or four times. You are already the general of Habayashi Guard, and you will probably go to the next level in the future. You should learn some things about the formation of troops by yourself."

Li Xin gave a wry smile.

Of course he was learning these things, but he didn't have the slightest foundation. Although he learned a lot on the way to the north last time, he didn't dare to use it for the security of the emperor, so he asked Wang Zhong again.

....................................

Five or six days passed in the blink of an eye, and the time for the Chengde emperor's autumn hunt was getting closer and closer.

This afternoon, after the court meeting ended, the four princes who stayed in Beijing were summoned into Changle Palace by Emperor Chengde.

Among the four princes, the eldest prince Qin Wang Ji Ku hadn't been out of the palace for a long time, and he rarely even appeared in front of the officials. The third prince Zhao Wang Jizhong danced with guns and sticks at home every day, and didn't like dealing with those civil servants very much.

Although the two princes had errands for the Sixth Department, they had never even been to the Sixth Department's office. In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them seemed to have given up the idea of ​​fighting for the position.

The fourth prince Qi Wang Ji Huan and the seventh prince Wei Wang Ji Wen were keen to make friends with ministers, and they made many friends in the government and the public. However, recently, His Royal Highness King Wei also seemed to have stopped making friends with ministers.

The four princes staying in Beijing seldom appear together under normal circumstances, but this time, Emperor Chengde summoned them all into the palace.

Among the four princes, the oldest prince, Ji Ku, is already in his thirties, and the youngest, the seventh prince, Ji Wen, is also 23 or [-] years old. The four princes are arranged in order of seniority and respectfully kneel before the Chengde emperor. before.

"My son, please meet my father."

Chengde Emperor sat on the dragon couch and waved his hands lazily: "Get up, Chen Ju, give them a seat."

The four stood up from the ground, and the eunuch Chen Ju immediately asked for four chairs to be moved, and the four princes sat down carefully.

It was afternoon, and the Emperor Chengde was also a little sleepy. He yawned and said, "In a few days, I will go to Beishan for autumn hunting. When the time comes, all of you will go with me. How about our father and son?" One, come back with more wild game."

The four princes all lowered their heads.

"My son, wait, follow orders."

The third prince, Ji Chong, bent down, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Royal father, my son got a new ox horn bow a few days ago. It used decades-old buffalo horns and it took a year or two to get it out. My son Tried it out, it was very good, I will send it back to the palace for my father to shoot and hunt."

The ox horn bow is a long bow with extremely cumbersome manufacturing process. It generally requires more than 100 processes and the construction period is as long as one or two years.

The most important thing is that the shelf life of this thing is not long, and it is usually only used by one generation, so it is quite rare.

Naturally, there are quite a few bows of this kind in the palace, but the Emperor Chengde loves to shoot bows and horses, so naturally he also likes to collect all kinds of bows and crossbows.

Emperor Chengde glared at the third prince, and snorted: "You have been thinking about these swords, guns, bows and crossbows every day. The two servants of the Ministry of punishment have told me that after I handed over the Ministry of punishment to you, you have never been there even once. !"

His Royal Highness Zhao Wang smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Emperor Chengde glanced at the seventh prince, and said: "There is also the seventh, who has been a little tired recently, and has he gone to the Ministry of Industry less?"

The Seventh Prince smiled wryly: "Father, Zhu Rongjiu has received a very good response from the Zhenbei Army. Ye Shaobao is still urging for it from the Ministry of War, and the Zhong Family Army is also asking the court for this kind of Zhurong Wine. My son has been busy brewing wine recently. About delivering wine, so there are fewer questions about the Ministry of Industry."

Emperor Chengde nodded: "You have become more sensible this year, and you know that you are busy with state affairs."

Having said that, Emperor Chengde didn't continue talking, and turned a blind eye to the boss and the fourth.

"Okay, you all go down and get ready. During the autumn hunting, the disciples of the generals in Beijing will also participate. You should shoot more wild animals, so you don't want to embarrass me."

The four princes all bent over and clasped their fists together: "I will obey your orders."

The four people filed out of the side hall, and when they reached the door of the side hall, the eunuch Chen Ju trotted out with small steps, smiled at the third prince Ji Chong, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty said, let you Send that bow into the palace, Your Majesty will have a try to see if it fits."

Zhao Wangji smiled broadly and nodded repeatedly.

"Eunuch Chen, don't worry, Xiao Wang will send the bow to the palace right now."

Chapter 220 The Paddock

Beishan, located in the northeast of the capital, is the mountain where the charcoal seller lived when Li Xin first came to this world.

There are many trees and animals in Beishan, which is a good place for hunting. In the 19th year of Emperor Chengde's ascension to the throne, he mostly hunted in Beishan.

A few days before the hunt started, Li Xin, Hou Jingde, and the two young guards from the palace guards began to inspect the terrain in Beishan, and then they divided an area of ​​about ten miles, thousands of guards Like an iron barrel, this area is fenced off, and no one is allowed to enter during the hunting period.

Because the area here is a bit too big, the [-] imperial guards are a little too busy, and [-] imperial guards were transferred from the imperial army to help, and then the area was surrounded.

Li Xin and his two Captain's Battalions were divided into a section of nearly one-tenth of the area, about three or four miles.

The emperor will probably hunt here for two or three days. During this time, Li Xin and the 800 people under him only need to ensure that no one can pass through this distance, and he does not need to be responsible for other things. .

As for the personal safety of the emperor, the guard battalion in the palace was responsible, and it had nothing to do with Li Xin.

After confirming their respective areas of responsibility, Li Xin connected with Hou Jingde again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he settled the matter with the Inspector of Internal Guards.

The day after the area was set, Li Xin took his captain, school captain, sentry officer and various team officers to Beishan to get familiar with the area, and then divided them into their respective areas of responsibility. They stayed in Beishan until the evening before Li Xin brought them back to the Habayashi Guard camp.

The next morning, 800 people from Habayashi Guard assembled neatly at the gate of the Habayashi Guard camp.

Li Xin pulled the generals aside, and said solemnly: "Everyone, the area that should be divided yesterday has already been divided for you. Is there anything you still don't know?"

There was silence.

Li Xin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Very well, since everyone is clear, after we arrive at Beishan, everyone will come according to the previous area, and will be stationed in Beishan tonight. Remember, everyone, tomorrow The one who hunts in Beishan is the Holy Son of Heaven of my Great Jin. If someone walks into the enemy's area, His Majesty will suffer any damage, whether it is my Habayashi Guard's Seventeen Ban 54 Slash, or my Dajin National Law, it will be tolerated. Not you!"

Although Li Xin is still young, but at the moment his skin is dark, his voice is like a bell, and his words are quite majestic.

"At that time, not only you will be convicted alone, but our [-] brothers will also be convicted!"

With a straight face, Li Xin sternly lectured the twenty or thirty generals under him.

"Do you understand?"

When Li Xin yelled at these more than 30 people, they all responded in unison: "I understand!"

Li Xin nodded: "Okay, let's go to Beishan now!"

The Son of Heaven will not come to the Beishan paddock until tomorrow, but before that, Li Xin and others must be in place in advance, not only to set up the paddock, but also to ensure that there are no strangers in the paddock.

Eight hundred people marched towards Beishan in a mighty way. After arriving at the place, some of them began to set up camp under the leadership of Captain Wang Zhong, and the other part followed Li Xin and began to camp with Habayashi Wei on the left. Together with the imperial army, we will clean up the threats in the paddock.

Because of the large number of them, the paddock was basically cleaned up in the afternoon, and no one saw a single one, but many wild animals, but most of them were small wild animals such as pheasants and rabbits, which did not pose any threat.

For the emperor's "game experience", Chen Ju, the great eunuch in the palace, specially asked the utensil supervisor, one of the eight supervisors, to prepare some sickly beasts and put them in the paddock.

These beasts include bears and tigers, and more are small deer and sika deer. There are a total of one or two hundred of them, and they are all put into the paddock and kept as hunting toys for the emperor and the nobles of tomorrow.
