[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

The first appearance of the eldest grandson of the Ming emperor in front of everyone was still fresh in people's memory. The ministers said that they would never forget the scene of a little grandson lifting a boulder with his bare hands in decades.

Wow, that scene was so shocking, it was hard to forget.

Not only the civil servants, but even the military generals were quite silent when they left the field in order. The eyes of the juniors made the young boys feel a little chilly on their backs. The one in there: You are also a brat, you don’t seem to be good at it. The meaning is simply not too obvious.

The young boys feel a little heavy in their hearts and steps, and they have a premonition that a new childhood shadow is about to be born.

The previous shadow has just gone to Yunnan, and the new one has come again. Do you want to relay so quickly? !Can you give your child a chance to relax?

However, there are some outliers among the teenagers.

Wei Guogong Xu Da did not bring his eldest son Xu Huizu with him this time, but brought his youngest son Xu Zengshou. The little boy has just turned nine years old this year, and he is at the age when he is full of energy, and the first time he appeared on a social occasion, he gave everyone a warm welcome. Made a deep impression.

Compared with the old and serious appearance of the future little Wei Guogong, that is, Wa'er's brother, this young boy is much more lively. Following behind Wei Guogong Xu Da, the boy chattered non-stop all the way.

Xu Da was in the first echelon of the meritorious class. He held an ivory wat tablet and walked very calmly at the front of the team, which also made the conversation between him and his youngest son clearly heard by the generals in the front row.

"Father, I am eight years old this year, and the eldest grandson of the emperor is ten years old this year. Will I be as good as him in two years' time?"

Xu Da replied in a gentle voice: "Increasing longevity, people who practice martial arts are too ambitious. You have to practice more."

Crowd: ...

Xu Zengshou didn't understand the meaning of his father. For a scumbag, the idiom "so high and far away" is a bit too difficult, but the young man Xu knows the principle of listening to half of what he doesn't understand, and immediately said happily: "Then Can I learn how to split straw mats with one sword? Ah, the one that hits two pigeons with one arrow is also very handsome, and both children want to learn. Dad, when do you think I can learn it with my aptitude?"

Xu Da continued to answer slowly: "Zengshou, can you recite "The Analects" and "Spring and Autumn"?"

The child's face suddenly changed, and he was cautious and stern: "Father, what the child is asking about is swordsmanship and archery."

"Father answered you in the same way, but the grandson of the emperor has mastered it." Xu Da's expression was very upright. If everyone hadn't been watching, otherwise, from his expression, it would be impossible to tell that he was fooling the youngest son: " This is a one-size-fits-all skill.”

"...you have to memorize it first to learn this?" Xu Zengshou was stunned for a long time, and his mouth was pursed into an ideological struggle.

He didn't want to endorse the book, but the appearance of the little emperor's grandson chopping off five scrolls and wet the straw mat with a single sword during his martial arts demonstration just now was really handsome.

Unlike adults who pay attention to weightlifting events, children have no concept of weight because they have no memory of Mu Bai lifting the standard copper lock in one breath. On the contrary, the impression is the free display part of the back.

In order to not only test the examinee's grades, but also allow the dignitaries standing on the high platform of the Meridian Gate to watch the excitement, compared with the general examination, the martial arts examination questions are both practical and entertaining.

I can't play tricks in weightlifting, but archery has changed from shooting fixed targets to shooting pigeons.

The rules of the competition are also very simple, each person has three arrows, the one with the most hits is the best, and if they are on the same prey, the one with the fatal injury is the best.

For ornamental purposes, these pigeons are raised meat pigeons, and the flying speed of heavy meat pigeons is much slower than that of carrier pigeons.

But no matter how slow the flying speed of the pigeon is, the difficulty of the dynamic target is not twice as big as that of the static target. In addition, the pigeon is small in size. will not give.

The exam questions can be said to be very cruel, but they are also in line with the current situation of Daming.Judging from Daming's current reserves of armed forces, it is understandable to show this attitude of "I only want the strongest talents".

And in this extreme situation, the youngest Huang Changsun was the last to bend his bow and set his arrows. When other players took advantage of the chaos, he kept looking up.

Dynamic shooting is a test of the shooter's understanding of the habits of the prey. It takes time for the arrow to fly out. The speed of the animal's movement and possible reactions must be calculated during this period, so that the arrow will not miss.

Pigeons are an animal with strong viability and flying ability. However, Mangbu Road in Yunnan is located on a plateau with a cold climate, and there are often hawks circling and nesting, so Mubai has hardly seen pigeons, only occasionally seeing a few The turtledoves are similar in appearance, but the turtledoves mostly move around in the jungle shrubs, and their flight is mostly short-distance movement, and with less meat, Mu Bai seldom pays attention to these gray cooing.

While observing the flying attitude, speed and sharp turning ability of the pigeons, he couldn't help thinking about a question: Are those fluffy birds in the sky fat or hairy?

Generally speaking, the meat of flying poultry is more delicious than that of ground poultry. In fact, he really doesn't like to eat feathered ones, because plucking the feathers is too tiring.

But if it's meaty...

The young boy's eyes sharpened, and the arrow crossed the sky like a shooting star, drew a graceful arc, and passed through a pigeon that couldn't dodge. It was a pigeon with one arrow that stabbed another.

The two pigeons didn't even utter a whine, they fell to the ground and died.

Mu Bai's strength was controlled just right, this pair of pigeons just landed in front of the Jin Wuwei who was in charge of counting points, so he didn't need to run more.

Jin Wuwei picked up the two fallen pigeons, checked the name tag on the lower arrow tail, and immediately raised his hand to indicate that it was valid.

A burst of cheers erupted in the arena, and under the leadership of Emperor Hongwu, the cheers were thunderous.

This is not exactly flattering the little emperor's grandson.

Killing two birds with one stone requires luck in addition to skill. There must be two birds on the same route when the arrow flies out, and the bird on the inside must not react when the arrow is shot. The arrow must also be strong enough to pierce two birds for it to be a good story.

Skills are not difficult, but luck is not. When birds fly and flap their wings, there will be air currents that interfere with the arrows. In addition, different types of birds have different flying teams. Unless you practice staring at a bird every day, you may be able to grasp the trick , Most of the "two birds with one stone" are luck.

Otherwise, this technology would not have become a good story. Many people have never seen it in their entire lives, but now it is under the public view and shot by the first arrow of the little emperor's grandson. The whole place was instantly ignited. Not to mention the group of generals, even many civil servants leaned forward to try to see the situation of the pigeons that landed.

Emperor Hongwu was also very interested. He immediately beckoned someone to deliver the arrow, and showed it between civil and military, not to mention his complacency.

The young boy in the field didn't know that his rations had become a display item, and that a bad one might be made into a specimen and placed in the display cabinet of Lao Zhu's house. He didn't pay attention to the result after the arrow was shot, Instead, continue to observe the dynamics of the pigeon flock.

The pigeons in the sky have realized that the situation is not good during the repeated attacks. After being frequently harassed by flying arrows and attrition, the pigeons have already fled.

All animals at the bottom of the ecological chain that live in groups have a characteristic when they flee. They flee in all directions, rather than slipping in one direction all at once.

This is the instinct engraved on the DNA. They are born to know that only when they are divided into parts and multi-faceted blossoms can they effectively make the predators give birth to a little hesitation and hesitation.And this hesitation and hesitation may very well save their lives.

So when Mu Bai noticed that the pigeons were scattered, he immediately pulled out the remaining two bows and put them on the strings. He aimed at the direction where a small group of pigeons were escaping and shot them away. Both arrows shot out and both hit the ground.

The atmosphere of the audience was instantly ignited, especially the young boys who made the loudest voices with the least amount of parents' acquiescence.

The little Huangsun didn't care about other people's movements, he walked steadily, took a few steps forward, picked up a pigeon that landed nearby, wobbled, his little brows relaxed immediately, and very satisfied handed the pigeon to Jin Wu who was walking quickly guard.

Except for Mu Wen who was watching the ceremony on the stage, no one knew why the little grandson ran over to pick up the pigeons, but there is nothing to say at this time, blow it!

The hype is political correctness, and everyone said that this is the cautiousness of the little emperor's grandson, and some even boasted of kindness. Only Mu Wen said the truth: "Brother must be looking at whether the pigeons are fat or not." Fat."

A boy who was slightly older than him beside the prince immediately looked over, and saw Mu Wen's face full of affirmation: "Brother is very happy, that pigeon should be quite fat."

"Why is my brother happy when the pigeon is fat?" The little boy couldn't suppress his curiosity, and asked.

Mu Wen glanced at him, and said quite naturally: "Because fat pigeons are delicious when roasted."

The little boy suddenly showed a look of shock, as if he didn't expect to get this answer at all, does it taste delicious when roasted with fat pigeons? No, why do you want to eat pigeons?

"You'll know it once you've eaten it." Mu Wen licked his mouth and raised his chin proudly: "The flying meat is very firm, and if it's not fat enough, the meat quality will be very bad. So it must be a fat bird to eat. The fat meat is very fragrant after roasting, and it is also crunchy. If you are lucky enough to find honey, you can apply a layer of it before the exam, and the meat will become sweet."

As soon as he talked about eating, Mu Wen's eyes lit up, and his voice rang out: "Brother used to like to sprinkle a little lemon juice after salt, although it might be a little sour, but Wen'er thought it was very, very delicious! "

He used two specials in a row to express his love. Hearing the words made the adults laugh, but the children couldn't help but raise their heads and start imagining.

They know that honey is sweet, but salt is salty. I don’t know what lemon is, but it sounds sour. This, what does it taste like!Some people can't imagine!

But looking at Mu Wen's appearance, it was obvious that he was very greedy. The little boy hesitated. He also wanted to eat, but he was a little embarrassed to say so.

This boy is Zhu Yunwen, the second son of Zhu Biao. His mother is the prince's side concubine, Lu Shi.

Zhu Yunwen was still young when the accident happened. He only knew that he was taken away suddenly. The brothers who could play with him were all gone. Although the emperor's grandmother was kind, she didn't let him meet his mother and concubine. His father looked at him with complicated eyes. It's not as good as it used to be, everything around him seems to have changed overnight.

Zhu Yunqi didn't dare to ask questions, so he could only pretend that he didn't know anything, and continued to be a child.

Until half a year ago, the emperor's grandmother suddenly allowed him to visit his mother and concubine, and his father also smiled, and occasionally patted him on the head, and the rooms on the side of his residence began to be refurbished. The crisis and the dark clouds are about to lift.

Sure enough, not long after, the imperial grandmother walked up to him with a child and told him that this was his younger brother.

The younger brother is different from many children he has been in contact with. He knows many, many strange ways to play, and has many, many toys. Zhu Yunwen held back for a few days, and finally couldn't help it, and joined his younger brother's uncles together. Play circle.

At the same time, he was also curious about the brother who seemed to be very powerful in everything in his brother's mouth.

It turned out that his elder brother did not pass away as rumored in the palace, but ran to Yunnan alone with his younger brother to take part in the scientific examination.

His elder brother can crush and beat wolves (← weasels are also wolves), beat former Yuan soldiers to tears (the vengeful Mu Xiaowen only remembers capturing their Yuan soldiers), can catch rabbits and peacocks, and make all kinds of Toys for my brother to play with!Most importantly, his elder brother actually allowed his younger brother to keep all kinds of pets! !

God!

The little prince and grandson who wanted to raise furry but were rejected by the court ladies and mothers and concubines who were afraid of their injury all showed envious expressions.

Although the first two don't sound like real ones, the latter ones are too tempting, especially after everyone has seen Mu Xiaowen's pet fish and pigs, they are all shocked by this powerful guy with scales .

"Then, will your brother catch rabbits for us to play with?" the four-year-old emperor's seventeenth son Zhu Wei bit his finger and asked his nephew who was one year older than him. No problem, when the time comes, he will ask his brother to catch a rabbit for each of them!

But as a condition, you all have to be me and big brother's younger brothers!

The carrot-headed boys all hesitated, but when Mu Wen added two rabbits, they couldn't help but nodded.

It's not that their willpower is too firm, it's that the eldest nephew has given too much!

Under the temptation of the rabbit (waiting to cash in), all the little princes and grandsons were full of expectations for Mu Bai's return, but they didn't know at the time that his younger brother actually exchanged two rabbits for him with a bunch of servants Mu Bai. He was taking part in the scientific examination, so everyone was unable to meet him for a long time.

And now, as the only member of the younger brother group who was able to come to watch the ceremony, Zhu Yunqi looked expectantly at his elder brother who had completed the examination items and entered the exhibition session.

The display link is not so much an examination item as a fun item.

In fact, it is to let candidates show everyone their unique skills before the ranking transcription, and add a little initial impression by the way.

The examinees next to him demonstrated stick techniques, boxing techniques, and even showed a broken boulder in their chests. Compared with them, Mu Bai's performance was much simpler.

He randomly pulled out a long sword on the weapon platform, turned it upside down, and folded it again. After that, he asked people to line up the straw figures placed around him, and then he swung the sword across the air while everyone held their breaths.

The shape of a weapon determines its attack method. The sword is a weapon that has been popular since the Bronze Age. It is edged on both sides, thick and thin in the middle, so the most suitable attack method is stabbing.

However, after entering the Iron Age, the sword gradually withdrew from the battlefield because of the small wound and low damage caused by the stabbing action, and it was easy to cause the weapon to get stuck. [Knife] is replaced.

In the Ming Dynasty, the sword became a ritual weapon of a gentleman rather than a weapon of killing in public opinion.Swordsmanship is even more performance-oriented because of its strong ornamental value.

When Mu Bai took the sword, almost everyone thought that he was going to perform sword skills, and they were all ready to applaud. No one thought that he would actually use the [sword] and the [sword] attack method.

When he put his sword back into its sheath, all six straw figures were chopped off at the waist, the knife edge was crisp and sharp, and the wet straw mats wrapped inside proved its true density.

After getting wet, the density of the mat is comparable to that of a human body, and cutting off six straw figures with one knife is almost equivalent to beheading six people.Of course, the factors of bones and armor have to be excluded, but this strength is already amazing.

With his own actions, he told everyone that the attack method of a weapon does not depend on the weapon, but on the strength of the individual.

In his hands, what a knife can do, a sword can do as well.

The young man flipped his wrist and put the sword back on the weapon rack. He turned his black eyes, and after sweeping across the silent crowd, he bowed in the direction of the Meridian Gate.

In the next moment, a child's scream pierced the sky.

"Brother is so good!"

Mu Wen's words were choked in his throat, he turned his head slowly, and the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi, who was wearing a shaved head, was jumping up and down on the spot.

Mu Xiaowen's eyebrows frowned immediately.
