The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 307 Three New Soldiers
Zhao Gou and others' eyes flashed, and naturally they would not agree so easily.

The two sides began to bargain for the second time.

Two days later, after several rounds of bargaining, the two sides finally reached a reluctant agreement.

Next, the Song Dynasty court provided the Ming army with 7 million taels of silver and 4 million shi of military rations every year.

As for the master, Zhao Gou refused.

Weng Taibei was not surprised by this.

When Governor Wang proposed it, he never thought that it would be agreed.

There are very few masters in the Southern Song Dynasty court now, and each one is extremely valuable.

And they would not be confident in handing it over to the Ming army for use.

One was that they were afraid that the Ming army would deliberately send the Southern Song court's masters to their deaths.

The second reason is that he was afraid of being won over by the Ming Dynasty.

It was proposed just to give an extra option and force Emperor Zhao Gou and his ministers to back down.

Seven million taels of silver and four million shi of military rations are already good.

Especially the latter, seven million taels of silver was nothing to the Ming Dynasty today.

However, it would cost several times more to transport four million shi of military rations from the Ming Dynasty.

The Eastern Five Routes were first harmed by the Song Kingdom and then by the Jin Kingdom. There was not enough food to begin with. The Ming army was about to establish its rule in the Eastern Five Routes, so naturally they would not plunder the people anymore.

Those wealthy families must have grain, but since we have not yet completely defeated the Jin and Liao kingdoms, it is not the time to take action against them.

At present, the most important thing for the East Fifth Road is stability. For the time being, the policies of the Ming Dynasty will not be implemented here.

We will talk about everything after we have completely defeated the Jin and Liao kingdoms.

As for purchasing grain from the Southern Song Dynasty, the price of grain in the Southern Song Dynasty had risen to four or five taels of silver per stone. In addition, the time, manpower, material resources, etc. required for large-scale purchases were also a heavy burden for the Ming army.

It would be best if the Southern Song Dynasty took the lead.

When Weng Taibei reached an agreement with the Southern Song court, four people were sent to Zhu Houzhao on the border of the Ming Dynasty.

First, there are three people recommended by Wang Shouren himself.

"We (Yue Fei, Gao Chong, Yang Zaixing) pay our respects to Your Majesty."

The three young men bowed respectfully with some nervousness. Although they all had extraordinary personalities, at this moment, in front of the most legendary and mythical Emperor Shengwu in the world, they still felt genuine nervousness, excitement and reverence.

In other words, among the young people in the world today, few can remain calm in front of Zhu Houzhao.

"No need to be polite." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand carelessly, strode to the three people, and laughed heartily: "Haha, you are the talents that the old king mentioned in the letter to me. Yes, you do look good."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and patted Yue Fei and the other two on the shoulders twice, causing their strong bodies to tremble and their faces to turn red.

But the three of them all showed firm persistence.

"Good." Zhu Houzhao was even more satisfied and said with a happy smile: "You are all great. Don't be nervous. Since you have joined the Ming army, you are all brothers."

After that, he couldn't wait to laugh and said: "Old Wang said that among you, two are rare generals in the world, and one is a talented commander.

Come on, let me see what you are capable of. Let's go to the training ground."

Yue Fei and the other two were brought to the training ground quite unexpectedly, and they were a little confused.

From the moment they knew they were going to meet His Majesty the Shengwu Emperor, they had thought of many possibilities and felt all kinds of nervousness and anticipation.

But the scene before them was something they had never imagined.

His Majesty the Emperor Shengwu...so good, so heroic and kind.

Without time to think, the three men mounted their horses and picked up their weapons, all of which were spears.

On the opposite side, Zhu Houzhao was riding a white dragon and holding an ordinary spear.

"Come on, attack me with all your strength." Zhu Houzhao said with great interest.

Not far away, many dragon riders gathered around to watch, with great interest and a look of scrutiny.

There are not many people in the army who can make Your Majesty take action personally.

Yue Fei and the other two quickly calmed down, suppressed all other thoughts, and looked at each other.

After nearly ten days of traveling, the three of them became familiar with each other, and because of their respective identities, they became even closer.

Needless to say, the tacit understanding came out.

Join forces and fight with all your strength.

They showed their abilities to His Majesty. They didn't think that the three of them together could hurt His Majesty even a hair.

"Da da da~!"

The sound of horse hooves rang out, and the three of them rushed towards Zhu Houzhao together.

Yue Fei is in the center, Gao Chong is on the left, and Yang Zaixing is on the right.

Their speed was not very fast, but Zhu Houzhao's eyes suddenly lit up and he felt a very strange rhythm, which made the cooperation between the three people feel perfect.

When the three men officially took action, Zhu Houzhao's feeling became even stronger.

The combined attack of the three was at once violent and ferocious, yet also smooth as flowing water, without a single pause; it was perfect.

He became more interested and exerted force on his body, changing from a defensive position to an offensive position.

Suddenly, powerful pressure was applied to the three people, and their perfect combined offensive was disrupted. However, after only a few moves, they gradually recovered from the offensive that was about to crush them completely but did not really crush them.

The cooperation of the three people gradually became as smooth as flowing water and approached perfection.

Zhu Houzhao stared at Yue Fei and he understood.

It’s Yue Fei!
It was Yue Fei who controlled the rhythm between the three. Although Yue Fei's offensive was the weakest among the three, he was able to strangely control the offensive of the other two and combine the offensive of the three.

Let their collaboration become smooth, almost perfect, and without any flaws.

As Zhu Houzhao's power increased, Yue Fei continued to adapt and improve under increasingly powerful pressure.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and were full of joy.

After a while, seeing that Yue Fei had completely adapted and had raised the three people's combined strength to perfection again, he once again increased his strength, trying to break this perfection but not really crushing them completely.

The battle lasted for nearly half an hour. Yue Fei and the other two were all sweating profusely and almost exhausted.

But the three of them were extremely excited, as if they had achieved breakthroughs again and again.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty." The three men dismounted and said respectfully and gratefully.

Of course they knew how great an opportunity they had just obtained.

The feeling of breaking through one's own limits again and again under the pressure of a force that is almost reaching its limit is something I have never experienced in my life.

They can be sure that in the next period of time, their strength will improve by leaps and bounds.

"Hahaha."

Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly, his body spotless, got off the horse and said happily: "Why thank me, this is what I should do.

And that also requires you to have the ability and potential.

Good, very good. ”

Just now, he pushed them to their limits a total of five times, and then adapted and improved himself.

In addition to Yue Fei, the potential of Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing as fierce generals was also fully utilized.

If Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing could not exert greater strength, Yue Fei alone, no matter how good he was at controlling the situation, would not have been able to hold out five times in such a short period of time.

"Let's go, let me take a look at your military tactics." Zhu Houzhao said with more anticipation.

At this moment, Yue Fei and the other two felt full of vigor and courage, and believed that a man would die for his friend. They were filled with emotion, gratitude, respect and admiration.

I wish I could die for the person in front of me.

Without feeling tired at all, he came to a big tent in the military camp and demonstrated his military skills in front of Zhu Houzhao.

The performance of the three people has spread throughout the entire Wu Di Dragon Cavalry, causing waves of exclamations and excitement.

They knew that soon three powerful men would join the Emperor Wu’s Dragon Riders.

There was no emotion of rejection. From beginning to end, Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry was filled only with the will of Zhu Houzhao.

Over the years, countless people have joined and left the Dragon Riders.

This place is the recognized "birthplace" and "alma mater" of the entire Ming army.

I'm not afraid of capable people coming in, I'm just afraid that you don't have the ability.

As long as you come in, as long as you are not eliminated, you are a brother, a brother closer than a real brother.

Another half hour passed, and in the big tent, Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said with admiration: "Good Yue Fei, you will definitely become a great general of my Ming Dynasty in the future."

Although he was a little confused by what Yue Fei said.

But he felt that it made sense.

It makes as much sense as what Lao Wang and Lao Li said.

This is enough.

"Your Majesty, please give me such a compliment. Yue Fei does not deserve it." Yue Fei, who was in his twenties, was very excited and said with a red face.

Standing next to them, Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing were somewhat envious, but also happy for Yue Fei.

In these few days, plus the recent battle, they were completely convinced of Yue Fei.

"What is there to be afraid of?" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said arrogantly: "The soldiers of our Ming Dynasty should be more confident and have the heart to be a great general.

Gao Chong, Zaixing, you too, must work hard towards the position of general."

"Yes." Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing felt their hearts boiling with excitement and answered firmly.

“Okay, but even a general has to start with new soldiers.

From now on, you will officially join the Wudi Dragon Riders and undergo three months of recruit training, understand?" Zhu Houzhao said seriously with a serious look on his face.

"Yes, we will not let Your Majesty down." The three said in a serious voice.

"Hehe." Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have thought of something, smiled as if he was watching a show, raised his eyebrows and said: "Let me remind you, there are only three of you new recruits in the entire Wudi Dragon Cavalry.

That is to say, you three will receive training as new recruits of all the dragon riders.

Work hard, I support you."

Yue Fei and the other two felt a sudden shock in their hearts when they thought of the thousands or tens of thousands of dragon riders training them.

A wave of uneasy feeling came over me.

Zhu Houzhao did not give them more time to prepare and shouted loudly: "Xiong Kuohai."

"Here." As if after waiting for a long time, a majestic voice sounded outside the big tent, and a figure whose stature was only inferior to Zhu Houzhao strode in.

A sturdy and ferocious temperament comes to your face.

"I'll leave these three to you and take you through the recruit training." Zhu Houzhao said seriously.

"Yes." Xiong Kuohai's eyes lit up and he responded, then turned to look at Yue Fei and the other two, revealing a smile that he thought was very kind.
