Before hanging himself, Chongzhen lifted the table

Chapter 49

Emperor Chongzhen had no difficulty hearing these words due to memory fusion.The general meaning is that the shooting method in the army does not rely on hits, but relies on heavy arrows to kill.Both super archers and second-class archers use hard bows and heavy arrows. Only third-class archers use "light arrows, soft bows" and "many hits."

This reminded him that most of the famous generals in history were good at bows and arrows.According to legend, isn't there Xue Rengui who fixed Tianshan Mountain with three arrows?
With this thought, his interest became even higher, and he immediately asked: "Archers are divided into three levels?"

After hearing this, He Zhen quickly explained in detail: "Your Majesty, archers are divided into four levels. The upper force can pull a hard bow weighing 120 kilograms. If it exceeds this, it is the force of a tiger, and it is not counted; the middle force is reduced by [-]/[-]; the lower force is extremely high. Half."

When Tang Tong heard this, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, you should use the strength of a tiger and draw the strongest bow!"

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at him and didn't know whether he was flattering or sincere, so he said to him: "You have the hardest bow in the army, let me try it?"

Hearing this, Tang Tong quickly agreed, and then shouted loudly to his bodyguard: "Tang San, bring your hard bow, Your Majesty wants to try it!"

Generally speaking, the most powerful soldiers in the army must be the general's servants.

The same goes for Tang Tong. If the military salary he greedily obtained was distributed, each sergeant would not get much money at all.Based on this situation, the generals in the Ming Dynasty's nine-border towns mostly pooled their money to equip the best sergeants with good equipment and weapons to form the most elite force, which would serve as the backbone of the war. enemy.

This approach was perfectly incompatible with the Mongols who were blocked by the Ming Dynasty and became very poor.Therefore, since the Ada Khan in the Jiajing period, the Mongols have never posed a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

However, this approach also has major drawbacks.That is, once the enemy's elite number exceeds the number of Ming army servants, the Ming army basically has nothing to fight.

At this time, Tang Tong's personal guard, who was called Tang San, heard the call and was immediately excited. He quickly took the bow he was carrying and presented it to the emperor.

This Tang San is probably very famous among the Jizhen army.When the soldiers saw Tang San offering his hard bow, they all became very excited and stared with wide eyes.

After all, few people play with javelins in the military, but bows and arrows are common.Because of this, every lieutenant in the army can more or less know a thing or two about bows and arrows.

If Emperor Chongzhen threw the javelin so far, they might just think it was too far, but for the bow and arrow, it would not be just such a little emotion at all.

No, I heard them whispering.

"It looks like the Emperor is about to draw Tang San's stiff bow."

"Tang San's stiff bow, not many of us in Ji Town can pull it open easily, right?"

"There are not many people? Besides Tang San himself, who else can shoot arrows? And I heard Tang San say that he can only shoot five arrows. If he shoots again, the force will be unstable and he will lose his accuracy. .”

"Then can the emperor pull away?"

"It's hard to say, the emperor doesn't look particularly strong, does he? It shouldn't be possible. Although the javelin was thrown very far just now, he must have mastered the trick!"

"..."

At the stall where they guessed, Emperor Chongzhen had already taken over the hard bow and looked at it. Tang Tong, who was beside him, introduced: "Your Majesty, the full string force on this hard bow is about 140 kilograms. It needs to be pulled when it is pulled. Be careful, you should do this, otherwise you may be injured by the rebound of the bow string, so you have to be careful." After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen didn't dare to make a fuss.After all, this is the strongest bow in Jizhen's army, and the user, Tang San, is a big man from the North who is tall, long-armed, burly and powerful.

Therefore, he followed Tang Tong's teachings, holding the bow body with one hand and the bow string with the other hand, and tried to pull the bow.

It doesn't seem to take any effort after you pull it, right?
With this thought in his mind, Emperor Chongzhen pulled the bow string to the full moon shape. After releasing it, he pulled it back to the full moon shape. After going back and forth several times, he turned to look at Tang Tong and said, "Tang Qing, could you please make me happy? This bow Can you have the strength of 140 pounds?"

Tang Tong was dumbfounded when he saw how relaxed Emperor Chongzhen was.Hearing his words, he immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to deceive you. This is indeed a 140-pound hard bow. It is your Majesty's supernatural power that makes you feel that this bow has no strength!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen threw the bow to He Zhen and said, "Why don't you come and try it?"

Of course he knew about the bonus of the Overlord's divine power, but it always felt a bit unrealistic. Maybe it was because the Overlord's divine power was used less?

He Zhen received a hard bow and really wanted to try it. How is it?
Of course he was discerning, and when he saw that the bow was indeed a hard bow, the key was that the emperor pulled it too easily, so he subconsciously became a little suspicious.

Just as Emperor Chongzhen was not yet familiar with the overlord's divine power, he also had little idea of ​​the emperor's great power bestowed by Emperor Taizu.

Then, she saw He Zhen pulling it casually, and her face suddenly turned red.

He only pulled it halfway, and it felt very difficult.So, he quickly became serious and put on a good posture before pulling out.

This time, he had indeed fully drawn the bowstring, but looking at him like this, he knew that it was impossible to shoot an arrow, especially if he wanted to shoot accurately.

After He Zhen tried it, he quickly loosened the bow string and couldn't help but praise: "I finally tried it, and now I know that your Majesty's supernatural power is the best in the world!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was very happy and immediately laughed and said: "It seems that the great power granted by Emperor Taizu is really good, haha!"

As he spoke, he took the bow string and pulled it easily, just like a child playing with it, as if he was playing.

The generals and soldiers on the side were all dumbfounded and just watched him playing there.

Even the soldiers of Ji Town in the distance were very shocked.Unexpectedly, Tang San's hard bow turned out to be like a child's toy in the emperor's hands!
The people who admire the most in the military are naturally those who bravely conquer all three armies.Now they saw that the emperor could throw the javelin very far, and he could even pull Tang San's hard bow at will. This was the emperor, and he was actually so capable!
Thinking of this, they all looked at the emperor in the distance with great admiration.Of course, there should be a prerequisite for this good impression, that is, the emperor in front of them just gave them a lot of money!

At this time, because there were multiple lines for the soldiers in Ji Town to register and receive military pay, and the military pay was basically a round number, and there was no need to weigh and cut it, it was all from official silver, so almost half of them received the money. .

Therefore, those who received the money naturally focused on the emperor, and everyone was full of gratitude and surprise to the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen is asking for advice on how to shoot arrows. He plans to try archery.However, at this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves was suddenly heard.

Hearing the sound and looking over, he saw a cavalry troop pouring out from the Anding Gate. Judging from their costumes, they must be members of the Jinyiwei Guards. There were about five hundred cavalry. They were galloping towards this side. The people who were watching the excitement on the official road took cover. All of a sudden, there was a lot of excitement and it looked very chaotic.
