The Emperor's Son-in-Law

"You are too polite, Major General!"

"But Major General, you did not receive the seal of the general when you came here today."

"According to the order of the Cavalry Guard, officials are not on official business of the court."

"No one is allowed to enter the military town at will."

"I am sorry that I cannot let you pass."

"Please wait for a moment, Major General. I will go and inform you."

Duan Ke stood up and bowed his head.

"Go and inform you."

Duan Chun nodded and smiled.

Not only was he not angry, but he became even happier.

He already understood what kind of iron army his father's Cavalry Guard was.

Yuan Da was speechless watching from the side. His own Major General came to the military camp.

He was actually blocked from entering...

He couldn't help but worry that there would not be enough weapons in a while.

Can this Major General help him out?

The soldiers continued to check carefully, and the lieutenant Duan Ke had turned around and brought a horse.

He rushed to the gate of the military camp to report the news.

After a while, several senior officers in armor rushed out of the barracks amid the sound of horse hooves.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked familiar to Duan Chun.

"My dear nephew Duan Chun, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The big man jumped off the horse and rushed to the front of the carriage excitedly.

He hugged Duan Chun, who was standing on the shaft of the carriage.

The huge force made Duan Chun feel nervous in his breathing.

"Uncle Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Duan Chun immediately remembered the identity of this big man in his memory.

This man was the deputy commander of the Cavalry Guard, Xu Yong, who was granted the title of Wanghou by His Majesty!

He was also a trusted general under my father's account!

He was able to follow my father all the way and was awarded the title of first-class marquis by His Majesty for his military exploits.

There were only three people, Shouhou, Daihou and Wanghou.

You know, the first-class marquis is the top title second only to the Duke.

Their titles, Shou represents Shou County, Dai is Dai County, and Wang is the name of the fiefdom of Wang County.

A first-class county marquis can have at least 500 households.

"My uncle has been stationed at the border and has just been ordered back to the imperial capital."

"I haven't had time to visit you yet."

"Your father ordered him to train his brothers outside the city."

"Today I finally meet my nephew."

"My nephew has really grown up now."

"The last time I saw you, you were only as tall as Uncle Xu's waist."

Xu Yong let go of Duan Chun and looked him up and down excitedly.

Facing Uncle Xu's enthusiasm, Duan Chun felt a wave of fear.

Because he remembered...

Wang Hou Xu Yong's family has several daughters, but no matter how many concubines he took, he could never give birth to a son.

Now a few years have passed, and I don't know if he has given birth to a boy?

A few years ago, my father mentioned that Xu Yong wanted to marry into the Duan family.

But my mother said that the Xu family's daughters were like tigresses.

If he married his daughter, Chun'er's life would be in danger.

Duan Chun didn't remember much about Uncle Xu's daughters.

But last year, it seemed that two of them had visited the Duke's Mansion.

Duan Chun remembered very clearly that the Xu family were not daughters, but two tigresses!

They were tall and liked to wield spears and sticks.

They once pulled a three-stone iron bow of their father to a full moon.

An arrow was shot and almost hit Duan Chun who was watching the excitement...

Until now, there is a deep arrow groove on the rockery on one side of the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.

It's a pity that Duan Chun didn't see the appearance of the two Xu girls clearly at that time.

They left in a hurry and followed Uncle Xu to the military town to garrison.

"Uncle Xu is polite. My nephew has just grown up."

"Your Majesty granted me marriage a few days ago."

Duan Chun said quickly.

"I know this. Your father was so happy that he drank two more cups with me."

"What's wrong, nephew? I didn't hear the general say you were coming today."

"What's going on?"

Xu Yong looked at the convoy and asked in confusion.

"I'm just here to help Mr. Yuan from the Ministry of War to escort the military equipment."

"I came to see my father and the Cavalry Guard farm by the way."

"I've already mentioned this to my father."

Duan Chun replied.

"Military equipment..."

Xu Yong looked at the number of convoys and frowned.

"Mr. Yuan, the military equipment requested by the general."

"I'm afraid that even if the number of convoys is doubled, it won't be enough."

"Why is it so little?"

"How do you expect the general to go to the western border?"

Xu Yong looked at Yuan Da and asked coldly.

"My Lord, please calm down."

"This time, the edict of His Majesty and the letter from the general came too quickly."

"I urgently dispatched the treasury near the Imperial Capital and plundered it all to collect these."

"Send it as soon as possible according to the delivery date of the first batch of military equipment required by the general."

"As for the rest, I will collect it from the nearby counties as soon as possible within half a month."

Yuan Da hurriedly explained with a fist.

"I hope so."

"My dear nephew, please."

Xu Yong was too lazy to pay attention to him, and smiled and put his arm around Duan Chun's shoulders.

He took him and the guards to the gate of the military camp.

Entering the military camp, Duan Chun's eyes widened instantly.

He had only seen ancient military camps on TV, and they were all specially built film and television backgrounds.

Try to save materials as much as possible.

And now, what Duan Chun saw in front of him was the spectacular scene in the tall city tower!

Neatly arranged wooden barracks are all concentrated around the military camp.

The dense number of them makes people's eyes a little confused.

In the middle are three training grounds, one large and two small, and a horse racing field.

At the end of the training ground is a tall command platform at the foot of the mountain.

On the mountainside, there are also fortresses and more densely packed camps.

This is the fortress at the foot of the mountain as the first layer of garrison and defense.

The mountainside is the second layer of camp defense, and there is a triple defense military camp at the top of the mountain.

The three tall walls at the foot of the mountain are the appearance of the entire military camp.

Duan Chun walked through the training ground accompanied by Xu Yong, looking at the thousands of soldiers who were practicing.

They held shields and long swords, shouting and practicing, and everyone looked very serious.

Duan Chun has seen modern military training, but in the era of cold weapons, the training methods of the elite soldiers of the Cavalry Guard were more rigorous.

After all, these soldiers have to go to the border to participate in battles every year.

Only with good training can they survive on the battlefield...

After passing through a small training ground, there was a training ground where archers were practicing archery in front of them.

What surprised Duan Chun was that the archers in ancient times were completely different from what he imagined.

The archers in novels and movies were all thin men with extremely agile movements.

The same was true in the game.

But now, the ancient archers Duan Chun saw were all tall.

The burly men with amazing arm muscles, standing there pulling longbows!

Their bodies were more than a circle thicker than the infantry holding shields and long swords just now.

"Are these all archers?"

Duan Chun asked curiously.

"Yes, these archers are all archers carefully selected by your father and uncle."

"Each of them can shoot a three-stone bow, and each of them can eat at least eight pancakes in one meal."

"On the battlefield, one arrow can take the head of the enemy general from a hundred steps away."

Xu Yong nodded and replied.

"So that's how it is..."

Duan Chun felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and everything she saw had broadened her horizons.

She also felt that modern TV dramas had completely changed history beyond recognition.
