Chapter 550 The emperor's territory, the emperor's soldiers
"Sir, you have arrived in the capital." There was an unconcealed excitement in the voices of the personal soldiers, but looking at the majestic Beijing, the gentle eyes were very complicated.
In addition to fearing Xie Hong, he wanted to avoid the whirlpool in the court. Although he was a martial artist, his family had a lot of knowledge and had a sense of hatred about the horror of political struggles. Especially now, the most terrifying type of political struggle, that is, the war between imperial power and scholar power.
Although he was reluctant, the emperor's order should not be violated. After meeting Han Fu, he still had to set off to the capital and come to the center of this whirlpool.
"Brother Wen, since you come, you will be at ease. Anyway, you and I are not officials in the court. As a teacher in that military academy, aren't it just that you can attack and retreat or defend? Why bother to be frowning?" Deputy General Feng Cheng was more open-minded than Wen. He was originally from the Beijing Guard and was still very content with being able to return to his hometown.
Therefore, despite knowing the gentle worries, he was still in a good mood. And what he said was the truth. Even if the scholars can counterattack in the future, it would be impossible to liquidate them together, as the scale would be too large.
You should know that with the current scale of the academy, if the teaching and students are included, there are probably tens of thousands of people, and this scale has been expanding. With the current momentum, when scholars succeed in counterattacking, it is unknown even if there are a hundred thousand people. If the law does not punish the masses, can they still liquidate so many people together?
"Brother Feng said," Wenhe nodded, but the worries in his eyes did not melt away at all.
Feng Cheng is a pure warrior. He doesn't know the thoughts of scholars. People often say: The most poisonous people's hearts, in fact, to put it mildly, the most poisonous thing in the world is the hearts of scholars. If the hearts cannot beat tigers and wolves, how can they survive in the officialdom?
No matter how fierce the NV boy is, it will only cause one or two people around him. But when those scholars are angry, it often means a sea of corpses and blood.
Moreover, the more severe the suppressed, the stronger the rebound will be. Since the Ming Dynasty, the Zhengde Dynasty is probably the most severe time for scholars to be suppressed. If the scholars turn over, they will have to find them back twice. At that time, even if they involve a million, what is it? In such a situation, how can gentleness not be worrying?
"Go into the city and go find out the road. We will go directly to the Military Academy Yingmao." I thought it was useless, so I took a deep breath, raised my whip, pointed to the city from afar... and ordered the personal soldiers around me.
"Yes, sir." Someone answered his order.
"Brother Feng Xian, should you go home to visit first, or..." Wen He turned his head and asked Feng Cheng.
"What's there to worry about when you get home? Brother Wen... I'll go with you Yingmao." Feng Cheng smiled and refused the gentle proposal.
"Well, it's better to go and see the situation first."
Soon, the personal soldiers who went to ask for directions came back, and the excitement in his voice was even more uncontrollable.
"Sir Qi Bing, I have already found out that the Military Academy is in the West Garden of the Imperial City, and is the same as the school ground where the emperor performs military horses in daily life."
"Hiss!" Wen He immediately breathed a breath of air conditioning... He knew why his personal soldiers were excited and could practice on the same school field with the emperor... For these soldiers, it was naturally a supreme honor, but for him, this matter became even worse.
"Imperial City West Garden? A good place, Brother Wen, no horses are allowed in the capital, so let's get off the horse and walk?" Feng Cheng laughed loudly, obviously in the same mood as his personal soldiers.
"Okay." Wen He insisted on calming down and responded.
The prosperity of the capital is naturally far better than that of Santunying. Everyone, including Feng Cheng, who had been in the border for several years, felt that their eyes were scattered, and their ears seemed to be a little insufficient. If Wen He had not made up his mind to report first, everyone would have wanted to go to the teahouse to listen to a few times, or go to the theater to watch two scenes before talking about it.
Therefore, along the way, everyone's emotions became increasingly high, and only the gentle mood became heavier and heavier.
The border troops in Jizhen had no conflict with Xie Hong, and Wu yù's experience only made everyone feel a little afraid of the legendary plague god. No one except the people of the Wu family could hate them.
Moreover, since the expansion of the Guards, the enthusiasm of the Jizhen military households was not as good as that of Xuanfu that day. They reacted very enthusiastically, and their fear of the plague god also turned into admiration.
Therefore, when everyone heard the praises of Xie Hong from time to time on the roadside, they felt quite comfortable. But Wen Gu was shocked. With Xie Hong's strategy, he obviously would not do such unwise things, which means that the counterattack of the scholars began.
This kind of rumor is hard to stop, not to mention that it is a praise that conforms to public opinion. Even with the current strength of the royal party, it is difficult to take effective measures. But if the praise and killing effect is effective, perhaps the situation of the royal party will be ruined. If you go to Beijing at this time, wouldn’t you hit the knife?
After thinking about it, Wen He felt more and more uneasy. In his opinion, walking towards Xiyuan step by step was like walking towards the ghost pass, and he just came to Xi'an.
The imperial city of nine are all places with strict garrisons, but the original Xi'an one does not have the momentum now. Although the mén is wide open and there are not many people on the palace walls, as long as you get close, you can feel the murderous aura that soars into the sky.
Wen He and his group were all old soldiers, and they were extra sensitive to this aspect and were shocked very strongly. Even Wen He, who was not mentally, raised his head and looked inside the palace in surprise.
There was dust and smoke everywhere, and there were obviously a large number of people coming and going, but strangely, there was no sound of shouting. In the huge Western Garden, there were only neat and heavy footsteps.
Wen He and Feng Cheng looked at each other and saw the shock in their hearts. They heard that the emperor was training troops, but they were a little dissatisfied with each other and just thought it was a kid who was playing tricks. Even if the Guards won a series of victories, they did not change their impression.
The children of the Guards have a saint every time they fight, and they are all against the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. As soon as they see the imperial flag, their opponents will be numb. What's so strange about the new firearms made by the champion Hou, which will win?
But it is better to meet than to be famous. After seeing the scene of the Guards in person, Wen and Feng were both in awe.
Not to mention anything else, this attitude of banning orders alone is enough to be called jingxing. If the legendary spirit of fearlessness is added, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a strong army in the world.
The sergeants guarding Mén seemed to have become accustomed to someone who was looking around outside Mén... Even though the gentle and powerful men of Duokui were not interfering, they still looked around with vigilance.
"This person... is gentle, this person is Feng Cheng, and they all come to the Military Academy to Ying Mao." Wen Jiongzi was cautious and was taken by the guards at this time... He was even more careful in his tone. After speaking, he even guessed what he called him, even though the other party was just a soldier.
"General Wen, please wait, Rong Biao go down and report." Although the sergeant guarding the mén looked arrogant, his tone was peaceful. After taking the document handed over by Wen He, he turned around and went in.
A powerful soldier! He gentle understands where the arrogance on these people's faces comes from. He has seen it before, but he still feels deeply moved... He originally thought that the temperament that could only be seen in the veterans who had been away from the battlefield for a long time and were invincible, actually appeared on a group of teenagers, which was indeed admirable.
"Brother Wen, Brother Feng... Why did I come so late? Let me wait." A burst of laughter interrupted the gentle sigh. He looked up and saw someone walking out of the big mén. At first glance, he looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but say: "Zu Dahuan...Zu Brothers?"
"It's my brother, I met him at Shanhaiguan back then... I don't expect that Brother Wen still remembers me... Brother Wen is really worthy of being a Confucian general who is talented in civil and military affairs." Zu Dahuan was wearing military uniform and was so angry... After nodding to the guardian mén, he stepped forward to pick up the two of them and smiled, "I will take a step first, just introduce it to the two elder brothers."
"I'm working hard..." Although I'm not very familiar with each other, I'm a bit old friend. And as gentle as I know, the other party's experience is somewhat similar to that of myself. I'm a little kind of intimate when we meet at this time.
"Brothers of the Grandmother, is the Emperor among them?"
After entering Xiyuan, the situation in the school ground was gentler and clearer. As he had guessed before, under the smoke and dust, there were indeed a large group of people practicing formations, advancing and retreating, and all the laws were strictly followed. Thousands of people were interacting, but they were silent.
"I'm always here, but today I'm not sure that the emperor has political affairs, and the emperor is in the school building to meet the envoys of Ryukyu." Zu Dahuan was shocked when he first came, so he also understood the mood of Wen and Feng and explained with a smile.
"Meet the envoy in the school building?" Wen He was stunned for a moment. Shouldn't he be in the Hall of Supreme Harmony when he met the envoys of the vassal state? And he should be met at the court meeting, right? Why did he come to the school building of the college?
"This......" Zu Dahuan grabbed his scalp and didn't know how to explain it. "Anyway, after we arrived, the two brothers would know the truth at the first sight."
"That's good." Since he arrived in Xi'an, Wen He was full of suspicion, but seeing Zu Dahuan's appearance, he felt much more at ease. Since this person could adapt to this, it shouldn't be difficult for him.
"Brothers, I don't know whether to ask about it or not..."
"It's okay, Brother Wen, don't think that the emperor stays here, but there are very few concerns in this academy. Even if you have any dissatisfaction with the government, you can just say it. If you have any questions, just talk."
"Uh......" The gentleness was stagnant again. The capital was indeed different. There were so many strange things. The soldiers could even discuss the government affairs? At the Hongzhi years, if anyone dared to say such words in the army, he would not have been given a few serious crimes and would have been directly pulled out to practice military law?
"These soldiers... were all trained by the emperor himself? Or were there other experts to give me some advice?" However, after hearing this, Wen He relaxed his mind. He was a little hesitant, but now he asked calmly.
"It was all practiced by the emperor himself." Zu Dahuan's reply was very straightforward. Seeing Wenhe's face still suspicious, he explained: "When the army first came, although the marquis was also in the capital, he had no business in this regard. Later, when he went to Liaodong, it was even more impossible to take care of the capital."
"As it turns out, the emperor is indeed a talented person in the military path!" After taking a look at the school ground, Wen He suddenly changed his mind and said doubtfully: "But since the emperor can train the three thousand guards of the past, tens of thousands of people are probably not a problem............ In this way, will we not be useful?"
"When I first came, I also had this concern, worried that I would be idle here......" Zu Dahuan was telling the truth. When he was in Jinzhou, he felt that God had opened his eyes to save his life. How could he think of fame and fortune?
"But this is not the case. Although the emperor is smart, there are precedents for self-taught battles. However, the details of the marching and formation can not be understood by just being good at talent. Therefore, we still have a place to use our skills, and the emperor also values us quite well."
After saying something gentle, he nodded repeatedly. Marines and wars are simple, but in fact there are a lot of knowledge. For example, marching is a big problem. How to find a road, how to explore the terrain, where to camp, and where to arrange the array. These details, if you have not experienced it, will not be able to be understood out of nothing.
Feng Cheng was quite thoughtful. After hearing this, he felt even more heartful and laughed, "So that's it. In this regard, we can still come in handy."
"The students in the academy all live in the barracks, what's the inconvenience of my two brothers?"
"No, of course not."
"That's good, this is it." Zu Dahuan led everyone to a barracks, pointed out the location clearly, and said with a smile: "Jiāo will organize the barracks for the little brothers, let's go with me first."
"See the Lord? Isn't the Emperor receiving the envoy?"
"I don't know this. If the principal is here, the new teachers will have to see the principal. This is the college's rule. It has always been like this. As for the envoy, let's just wait."
In the several colleges outside, they saw that the teachers were all vice principals like Tang Bohu and Wang Shouren. However, if they entered the palace, they would have to see Zhengde, the principal. This was the case when Zu Dahuan came, and he was very surprised because of this.
"Since it's the rule, it should be like this." Wen and Feng clasped their clothes and followed Zu Dahuan.
The school building in Xiyuan is actually the leopard house in the past. Zhengde has more and more soldiers. In addition, the military academy, Xiyuan is becoming crowded every day. As a last resort, Zhengde had to live back to the Forbidden City and contributed his original bedroom.
The leopard room was built last summer. Although it is not as magnificent as other palaces in the Forbidden City, it is not simple. Especially the Yellow Dragon Flag erected in the square in front of Mén, it adds a bit of majestic and domineering spirit to it.
"I will not lose my Ming Dynasty when I meet the envoy here......" Before Mén, Zu Dahuan came in to report, and Wenhe and the other two looked around for a week, and were also very impressed.
"Brother Wen, look over there... the one who was protruding his head seemed to be Eunuch Liu." Feng Cheng focused on another thing. He did not agree with gentle words and pointed at a dark corner.
"Which Eunuch Liu? Could it be Liu Jin?" asked gentle and lowly.
"It's just him, look at his scathing look..." He saw that he was not going to do a good thing. Feng Cheng didn't finish his words, but the meaning was conveyed. Both of them were suspicious. It was said that this guy was also a close friend next to the lord. Why did he suddenly make such a sneaky look? Could it be that he had any plans?
"Two brothers, the emperor summoned me. Please come in with me."
Before the two of them could think clearly, Zu Dahuan turned back with a chunfeng look on his face, and what he said firmly attracted the attention of the two. When they were happy, when they turned around and looked back, they found that Liu Jin had disappeared from that corner, as if he had never appeared before, only the darkness there was still the same...
