I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 95 Why not give it a try!

At dawn, 17-year-old Zhu Daoxin personally fetched a basin of cold water from the water tank and washed himself as usual.

He is the seventh son of Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo. His mother was a lowly slave and died in childbirth when she gave birth to him.

Without the power of his mother's family, Zhu Chunchen didn't care about him. As a result, although he was the son of the prince and his treatment was much better than that of ordinary servants, he was often looked down upon by his other brothers. He was also sarcastic and made things difficult for him, and his life was quite difficult. Bitterness.

And growing up in such an environment, he did not become submissive or cynical because of such encounters.

As the son of the Duke, Zhu Daoxin could also attend family studies. He cherished this opportunity very much. Long-term study also allowed him to be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics and have a rough understanding of literature. However, he preferred to read historical books such as Shiji Tongjian and Three Kingdoms. He longed for heroes.

Xiang Yu's strength is unparalleled, while Liu Bang and Liu Bei are not discouraged in the face of adversity. They fight and lose again and again, and finally achieve hegemony.

Liu Kun and Zu Ti heard the chicken dance and played the song of Hujia to drive back thousands of troops, and the middle stream struck Jiji to express their ambitions.

Of course, his favorites are Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others.Attack the Xiongnu in the north, gallop on the battlefield, expand the territory thousands of miles, and seal the wolf as a surrogate.

It is said that reading history makes sense and reading history makes sense. After reading too many books, he couldn't help but follow these people as examples. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he became self-disciplined. He would listen to the chicken dance every day, practice martial arts, and then read and study. He could be regarded as contented, and he would obey his duties and wait for the future. The weather.

The weather has arrived today, and the exercise has reached noon. Zhu Daoxin had a brief lunch and was ready to take a break and continue reading in the afternoon.

But before he could lie down, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the courtyard.

"Brother Seven, Brother Seven, are you there?"

As soon as he heard it, he knew that it was his ninth brother who was here. His ninth brother, Zhu Daozheng, was in a similar situation to him. He was not popular in the house, but he was also free and easy. He usually liked playing and disliked studying. He was very well-informed. What anecdotes and gossip do you want to share with him?

Opening the door, he saw Zhu Daozheng walking in with a small booklet in his hand. He looked around outside and quickly closed the door.

"Brother Qi, why do you still have thoughts at home? There's so much noise outside and you don't even know."

"I'm just saying that you really need to change your temper. Don't be so impatient when doing things. Go ahead and talk about it."

After saying that, he led Zhu Daozheng back to the house without asking anything, poured him a cup of tea, and let him breathe slowly before talking.

Seeing that he was not curious at all, Zhu Daozheng felt anxious. He picked up the teacup and drank it down, and eagerly handed the booklet in front of Zhu Daoxin.

"Seventh brother, please take a look at this brochure. It has been spread outside that tomorrow your Majesty will go to the southern suburbs school to review the three major camps, and he will also take a test against the distinguished children of the capital.

I also heard that if you get good grades, you can train with His Majesty. This is a great opportunity! "

Zhu Daoxin took it and looked at it. Sure enough, the matter was written in detail in the booklet.

"The source of this information is reliable, why haven't I heard of it before?"

"You, a nerd like you, don't know that there are people selling this kind of booklet on the street outside the house, and there are many buyers. I guess the news is good.

Do you think it can be sold if the source of the information is untrue? I asked and was told that His Majesty suddenly ordered this matter yesterday and no one knew about it beforehand.My father was also in the palace that day, so he must have known about it that day, but he just didn't tell us. "

As he spoke, his expression darkened a lot. Zhu Daoxin also sighed after hearing this. Yes, ever since he became sensible, he had only seen Zhu Chunchen during New Year dinners and sacrifices. The rest of the time, he didn't care about him.

"Haha, how can such a good thing happen to us? I'm afraid it will be left to the second brother and the third brother. They are the legitimate sons, not like us. Okay, then we will just go and watch the excitement."

Zhu Daoxin thought this was an opportunity, but he also knew clearly in his heart that this matter would definitely be suppressed by his father's wife, Mrs. Wang. Leave this opportunity to yourself.

When Zhu Daozheng heard this, he looked at him and said angrily:

"Oh, why are you so stupid? If he says he won't let you go, you won't let him go. Look at this booklet. It says that every family has at least one person, but it doesn't say it can only be one person. If Mrs. Wang doesn't let her go, then she won't let her go. Have you gone?

This is an opportunity to train troops under His Majesty's nose, and you don't want to seize it.

Do you have to watch the second brother and third brother, those who bully us all day long, continue to show off their power?One breath of life, one stick of incense for a living Buddha. You usually like those heroes the most. Why are you holding back now that you have such a good opportunity? I really underestimate you! "

After saying that, he took out his money bag and threw it heavily on the table.

"This is the monthly money I save every month. I originally thought that after I had saved enough, I would go to Yixiang Building to play with the pity girl I have been dreaming about. But when I saw this booklet, I wanted to buy you a good outfit. , to help you go.

I didn't expect you didn't even have the courage. You really blinded me and wasted all your efforts.If you really want to argue, just follow me out and let's argue tomorrow. If it doesn't work, the worst we can do is be grounded together. It won't matter. "

Seeing Zhu Daozheng's words really made Zhu Daoxin feel ashamed. Even though he had read so many books, he didn't know as much as his ninth brother.What he said makes sense. He usually insists on practicing arts and martial arts. It can be said that he is very talented, and he is naturally talented in horseback riding and archery. Although he is not a marksman, he is close to it. He has also developed a good swordsmanship.

Zhu Daozheng's words just now made him completely alert. Then give it a try, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life.Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, so he might not be able to stand out.

So he picked up the money bag on the table and handed it to Zhu Daozheng.

"I will listen to you, and thanks to your words, just give it a try. "Historical Records" says: If a husband does not have five pots of food to eat when he is alive, he will have five pots of food to cook his ears when he dies. If you don't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid... If you want to regret it for the rest of your life, why not give it a try! But I don’t need your money, I have it myself.”

When Zhu Daozheng saw him moving, he couldn't help being happy and refused to take the money bag.

"Hahaha, then all my hard work has not been in vain. Let's leave quickly before it's too late. You can take the money first. You don't know that the price of weapons and arrows in the capital has skyrocketed. Just treat it as my investment and wait for you to get rich. Just don’t forget about me!”

Seeing this, Zhu Daoxin stopped insisting. After that, the two of them packed up and went out with their servants.

Scenes like this were also staged in every government.But as the initiator of the turmoil in the capital, Zhu Youxiao doesn't care about these things now.

He came to Licaolan again today. Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, and Sun Yingyuan were training with their respective groups.

They are originally from the military and have a very solid foundation. After a month of training in Licaolan Field, their progress can be seen with the naked eye.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao coming, the three of them quickly came over to pay their respects. After a brief salute, Zhu Youxiao began to ask:

"What are you training today?"

"Your Majesty, this morning it's still about hunting, riding in the afternoon, and studying Qi Shaobao's "New Book of Ji Xiao" in the evening."

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied after hearing this. He has been busy with government affairs these days and has not been here, but he is also very concerned about this and will ask them to report in a book every day for his review.

"Not only practice, but also actual combat. These muskets, artillery, etc. are all prepared for you. Don't feel bad, just use more. By the way, the paper tubes I ordered before are packed with gunpowder. Are you ready now?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yingyuan happily reported to Zhu Youxiao:

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu has made it according to your instructions. Your method is a wonderful one. Mr. Xu praised it very much. We agreed after we used it. In the past, we had to hang all the bamboo tubes on our body, which was very inconvenient. Now Using paper tubes doesn’t take up much space and is very convenient to use!”

"Hahaha, that's good. You guys can use this method first. If there are no problems, then promote it to Liaodong and even the border troops.

If you have any problems when using blunderbuss or artillery, or if you come up with any convenient methods, you can put them forward and let the Ordnance Bureau improve them. That's what it does. "

"Understandable."

Everyone agreed, and Zhu Youxiao came out in person. After watching them practice for a while, he found that they were more skillful in operating firearms, and with paper tubes, they were more efficient.

Feeling satisfied, he asked the three of them to follow him into the nearby cabin. He came today not just to watch them practice.

"You all sit down. I see that you are really attentive. These people are practicing very well. I see that these thirty or so people are almost trained, and the number of people can be increased.

Some time ago, I issued an order to select people from Liaodong and Jiubian to come to the capital to train with you. The news has been available for more than half a month, and I think many places have already been selected.

The same is true for the honorable nobles. I have decided to go to the southern suburbs school field tomorrow to inspect the capital camp and test the nobles' children. Then you will go with me, stay with me, protect my safety, and by the way, help me take the exams for junior talents. "

The three of them were naturally overjoyed when they heard this. During this period of training here, there was also a lot of criticism. Many people said that they were the emperor's playmates. When the emperor got tired of playing and found it boring, they would just go back to where they came from. go.

Now the emperor said that he wanted to expand the scale, and also asked a few of them to serve as personal guards, guarding the left and right. This shows that their training during this period was not in vain, and the emperor paid more and more attention to them.

"According to the order, I will give the order later. I will make sure that the brothers do not disappoint His Majesty's expectations."

"That's good, train hard. It's just the beginning now. There will be more days to come. I will be of great use to you. Please put on the personal guard uniforms sent by Zhang Chang later. Don't let me lose face."

Zhu Youxiao will naturally not be unprepared when he goes to Beijing Camp tomorrow. Although he doesn't care about safety, he still needs to be prepared just in case.

At the same time, he also called Luo Sigong and Wei Zhongxian to give instructions on tomorrow's itinerary.
