Chapter 594 Test
"Zuo Zhuan Xuan Gong 12 Years" Chu Zhuang Wang said: "There are seven virtues in martial arts - prohibiting violence, suppressing soldiers, protecting the great, establishing meritorious service, calming the people, harmony with the public, and wealth."

Chen Mu doesn't know if there are really mysterious martial arts circulating in the world, but it is very easy for him to materialize martial arts, and the easiest way is to materialize them into four.

It is soldiers, cavalry, boats, and guns.

Baimei walked slowly across the green grass of the Beiyang Cavalry Academy with four hooves. The black chain plate armor on her strong chest collided with the leather pad on the back, making a crisp sound, and seven clusters of red tassels fluttered down. The thick protection is still on the chest and neck, and other places are more decorated than the nails.

It is rumored that Jing Haibo can be invincible on the battlefield, he should be born with a leopard head and three heads and six arms, just standing in front of the battle like a fierce general can scare the enemy away.

Few know that he can bruise his arm by dancing a big gun on horseback.

This is like the armor on Baimei's body, most of it is used for decoration, because Chen Mu knows very well that if the battle situation is so bad that he can't run away, and if he really wants to fight in person, then maybe getting him a Wujiu will not be able to turn the situation around .

"Chen Shuai's hair..." Wei Rushu, the commander of Shandong Dusi, stood on the side of the school field with the intention of appreciating his teacher and making a pilgrimage. Standing beside him was Shen Zonglian, a big brother who came from Nanyang to escort the luggage, watching the vast school field slowly. Chen Mu, who walked around the obstacle, asked Shen Zonglian carefully, "Here, I didn't hear that Chen Shuai was tortured, what's the matter?"

Baimei's figure is different from that of the war horses in the middle school, which is eye-catching, especially the armor and luxurious decorations are even more beloved by warriors, but the most eye-catching thing is Chen Mu on horseback, wearing a general's breastplate engraved with a lion pattern, iron arms bound every There are inscriptions on each piece of armor, including Chapter 9 of the Tao Te Ching on the left arm, and two paragraphs on the Art of War by Sun Tzu on the right arm. They all use Zhao Shizhen's flowing work, but these are nothing compared to Chen Mu's hair.

His hat was covering the horse's buttocks, and the red tassel on the top was bouncing as the white horse paced. The untied hair scarf seemed to show off his fine short hair.

Shen Zonglian came here not only to escort the luggage, Gao Gong also asked him to send a few Westerners who looked similar to Xiyi, so that they could be taken care of and handed over to Chen Mu.

Hearing Wei Rushu's question, his expression was also a little strange, but his strangeness showed more admiration. He pointed to the pagoda-like building being built outside the Beiyang Yamen and said, "Where should the master's hair be placed?" , as well as the hair of the recruits on the infantry field, it’s called Jiguo Tower.”

"The Jiguo Tower?"

"Well, the Tower of Sending the Country." Shen Zonglian pointed his finger at the tower under construction, and said, "Leave it in the tower and send it to the country with your body."

"Master said that their army is different from the usual recruiting. It will last for five years and carry heavy responsibilities. It is not close to the South Seas. It is difficult to predict life and death after going thousands of miles to the sea. It is not only to prepare for the danger when sending to the country, but also to show the heart of the country." Shen Zonglian He nodded heavily while talking to himself, and said: "Five years later, they will return to their hometown in fine clothes and grow long hair again."

"Nowadays, the wise generals are so loyal to the soldiers, how can they be invincible? When the troops are dispatched, from the generals to the flag officers and soldiers, their families can enter the Jiguo Pagoda to pray for them to heaven," Shen Zonglian shook his head with emotion, Said: "This is probably what Master always said that the army should have a sense of honor."

Wei Rushu, who came to learn the scriptures, heard the word "honor", nodded and said: "Chen Shuai's book contains the essentials and classics. I have read them one by one. I have a clear understanding, but not everyone can use it. It does work."

They are all commanding people, Wei Rushu naturally sees that Chen Mu is a big fool, and such words as sending his body to the country are just like Qi Jiguang's blood alliance with soldiers, it is a means to enhance the cohesion of the soldiers under his command.

The means are not very clever, but in Wei Rushu's eyes, people who can combine unsophisticated means with the purpose of enhancing the combat power of soldiers are very clever.

"Just by letting the soldiers shave their hair, the recruits can concentrate on serving the country. This...Chen Shuai is really a soldier with a heart."

While the two were chatting, Chen Mu galloped on the empty school field sometimes, sometimes galloped to shoot, took various weapons from the starting point of the designated route and walked back and forth, attacking the armored target time and time again. .

Spears, short spears, and battle swords for stabbing; short sabers and eyebrow knives for slashing; bones and flails for smashing; riding guns, hand guns, hand crossbows, and riding bows for shooting.

He used it more than three times - his own test rule is to test the appropriate horse speed once fast and slow, but it is more awkward when shooting weapons. Even at a distance of twenty steps, he does not always hit it. To do it all over again.

The riding gun was fired five times, and the hand crossbow was fired seven times. Only the hand gun was able to pass smoothly, probably because it was used a lot.

But for the three tests of riding the bow, he galloped back and forth eight times.

It was autumn, and the pampered Baimei had just lost weight and was able to run. Chen Mu was thrown into a hot sweat on the horse's back, but the war horse didn't even sweat. Look at him snorting, and went to the school field to continue strolling by himself.

"These weapons are all good, but their horsepower is limited. You flag officers, remember how I tested them just now? Test them in turn." Chen Mu shook his head lightly, not wanting to affect the flag officer's test, and did not say what he thought The favorite weapon, just said: "The total weight of the cavalry's weapons is limited to eighteen catties."

After taking the sweat towel from Junjun's hand, he drank a few sips of warm water, and ordered the banner officer to put on the Mongolian horse he bought from Kou City to test the weapons. [-]. One big gun and two pistols are better."

"Subordinates think it's almost the same." Juniper took the sweat towel and handed it to the servant. He thought that as long as Chen Mu let him go to the battlefield, he would be able to cut down a whole street of houses for his hometown with any weapon. Bring a riding bow."

Chen Mu was jotting down something in his notes, when he heard this, he turned his head and stared, and said, "Do you think I'm not good at arching?"

"Subordinates don't dare." Du Heizi clasped his fists in a serious manner, speaking righteously, and said: "Although the recruits come from their own sources, there are not many who can surpass Chen Shuai in riding skills, and there are not many who can surpass Chen Shuai in shooting skills. Too many, let them practice riding and shooting, they can't even learn foot shooting in three months."

"What's the matter with infantry? I learned it from horseback riding. It's much easier to practice... let alone horseback archery."

Testing weapons is actually a particularly embarrassing thing for Chen Mu. He is not a traditional military general like Juniper who can dance with a big gun or drive a bow. No matter how amazing it is, it won’t make others feel special. On the contrary, if other weapons make a slight mistake, others will think——Oh!This Chen Shuai can't!
Du Heizi's small eyes were enough to explain the situation. Chen Mu felt that the captain of his own soldiers was telling him with his eyes that he could knock down ten Chen Mus by charging each other with big guns on the horse, and knock down two of them by cross-shooting with riding bows. Ten Chen Mu.

But even Juniper wouldn't want to fight Chen Mu one-on-one. He heard that there was an old bishop in Haojing who was pissed off by Chen Mu in the past and wanted to fight him, but his sword was blown away by the pistol.

In the art of dueling, this is a rogue with firearms!
"Let's go, call Shang Zonglian and Commander Wei to see the real spear instructor."

　Good morning!
