Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

This guy has the talent to be a general, but he still needs to hone his skills.

Li Dingguo raised his red face from the cold and said firmly: "Your Majesty, I like it here very much!"

Zhu Youxiao rubbed his head a few times and said, "Then practice hard! I'm waiting for the day when you become a general!"

The conversation between the two alarmed the other soldiers around them.

Seeing that the emperor was actually doing exercises with them, these guys instantly became excited.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

A soldier shouted at the top of his lungs.

Others quickly followed.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"

"The Divine Machine Battalion is mighty!"

Lu Xiangsheng, who was running in the front, felt that the slogans were a bit confusing, so he left his position and looked back at the team.

It was not until he saw Zhu Youxiao's figure that he suddenly realized.

But when he came over to pay his respects, he was stopped by Zhu Youxiao.

"There is no ruler or subject on the training ground. Today, I am just a soldier of the Shenji Camp!"

"So, I warn you, don't ruin my mood!"

Lu Xiangsheng was very surprised, but he had no choice but to obey. He moved closer and ran with him.

Zhu Youxiao was in a very weak body. He had been ill since Tianqi fell into the water, which was also the reason for his death.

He still used Apocalypse's body when he traveled through time, so he was still very weak.

He felt a little out of breath after running less than halfway through the five-kilometer-circumference training ground.

But he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead.

The only thing that made him different from others now was that he had a slice of top-quality ginseng in his mouth.

The cold wind blew, and the rough sand felt painful on my face.

The sweat on the hair on his forehead instantly turned into ice crystals, which swayed and broke as he ran.

Lu Xiangsheng had been observing his reaction the whole time, and when he saw this, he came over.

"Your Majesty, adjust your breathing and follow my rhythm."

"call........"

"suck........"

"Try to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, watch your feet, don't take too big of a stride, and let your arms swing!"

"Imagine there is a fire burning in your belly. It will give you strength!"

"This energy will flow along your meridians and into your limbs and bones!"

"You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Your soldiers are watching you. You can do it!"

Zhu Youxiao almost fell to the ground when he heard this. Why did this guy act like a charlatan?

And these words, why do I feel like I have seen them somewhere?

He glared at Lu Xiangsheng unhappily: "What the hell are these!"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled without blushing or panting and said, "Your Majesty, this is the Qi-nourishing skill I learned from an old Taoist priest!"

"You try it, you will definitely find something different!"

Zhu Youxiao:........

Nourishing Qi?

If you say you are practicing Taoism, I would believe it!

Although he was unwilling to believe it, he still tried Lu Xiangsheng's method.

I didn't feel anything at first, but after a while, I inexplicably felt that the fatigue in my body was relieved a little.

A little bit of strength returned.

Although that was all, it allowed him to successfully break through his own limits.

After gritting his teeth and holding on for nearly five minutes, he slowly stopped, walked to the side, bent down, and began to breathe heavily.

When the soldiers saw this, no one showed any mocking expression.

Because half a month ago, they were not even as good as Zhu Youxiao now!

Running six miles in one breath is not easy!

Zhu Youxiao spat out the ginseng slices that had long lost their medicinal properties and casually called over a guard.

"Return to the palace, go to the imperial kitchen, and bring ten kilograms of wild ginseng!"

The guard was puzzled when he heard this: "Your Majesty, what do you need so much ginseng for?"

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand without even looking up and said, "Stew soup!"

"Your Majesty, this much ginseng will kill people!"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Everyone present has a share!"

Guard: ........

One ounce of ginseng is worth one ounce of gold!

Everyone present has a share...

Thinking of this, he felt a pang of heartache.

But then he grinned. He was also present there. So, His Majesty meant that he could get a share of the spoils, too.

After he responded, he ran away, and did not forget to ask other guards to notify the cooks to prepare the food.

Zhu Youxiao panted for a long time before he calmed down. He stretched his sore legs and feet and sat down on the platform.

Looking at the soldiers still running in circles below, he shook his head in self-mockery.

I wanted to share the joys and sorrows with these soldiers, but my body is really not strong enough!

The circumference of the parade ground was five kilometers. The soldiers ran two full laps before stopping. They stood there panting like bulls, with clouds of mist coming out of their mouths and noses.

Then we dispersed, rested, and waited for lunch.

Originally, the Shenjiying did not eat lunch like ordinary people, but Zhu Youxiao insisted on adding this meal, saying that due to the high-intensity training, nutrition must keep up.

Nowadays, these new recruits have two exercises every day. In the morning, they do five kilometers, followed by military posture and hand-to-hand combat, and then they do another five kilometers before being dismissed.

It was the last five kilometers that Zhu Youxiao caught up with.

After lunch in the afternoon, there will be shooting training and military formation drills.

Of course, in order to allow them to get a good night's sleep, Lu Xiangsheng required the soldiers to run another five kilometers after the afternoon training!

That’s very thoughtful!

These subjects were approved by Zhu Youxiao himself, so he was mentally prepared when he came.

The guards ran very quickly, at least they didn't miss lunch.

So half an hour later, Zhu Youxiao had a meal of old sow stewed with ginseng and four big, fragrant but yellow steamed buns.

The wheat of this era had to be ground several times, and the flour and bran were mixed together, so the color was not as white as that of later generations.

But I have to say that the yellow steamed buns taste sweeter and more chewy than the white ones!

"Your Majesty, do you have any instructions for coming to the Shenji Camp?"

Lu Xiangsheng was drinking his soup and took the time to look up and ask.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "What instructions or no instructions? I just don't want to see those old princes in the court come here to relax!"

"By the way, I will come here often during this period before and after the New Year."

"Just treat me like an ordinary soldier. I'm too weak and need more training!"

Chapter 37 Who the hell are you with?

In the following days, Zhu Youxiao lived a repetitive life.

Sleeping in Kunning Palace, holding court outside Huangji Gate, and training in Shenji Camp.

Such movements would be hard to escape detection by someone with ulterior motives.

On this day, the Duke of Ying's mansion was filled with guests and friends, and almost all the military honors in the capital were present.

Zhang Weixian sat in the main seat, holding a pair of jade balls in his hands. He glanced at everyone present and shouted with an unhappy look on his face.

"Everyone!"

"It's so cold, why are you all here instead of staying at home with your wives to make dolls? Why are you all here with me?"

Duke Chengguo Zhu Chunchen bowed to him and said, "Don't blame me, Duke Ying. We have no other choice but to come to you!"

"Now that the Emperor has cleared out all the Beijing troops, not to mention that we have all invested a lot of money in them, we don't even know what the situation is in the Beijing troops. Isn't the Duke of Ying worried about anything?"

Zhang Weixian became furious upon hearing this, slapped the table hard, stood up and cursed at the nobles.

"Why, now you remember that you are a noble?"

"When I advised you not to stretch your hands so far, how did you all treat me?"

"Are you scared now?!"

"Don't you see what you have done to the Beijing Camp?"

"We sent the strong men in the camp back to their homes, leaving Your Majesty with a bunch of old and weak people!"

"Withholding military pay, lying about troop numbers, and reselling weapons!"

"Do you really think these old men know nothing?"

"If it weren't for the kindness of our ancestors, I would have skinned you alive!"

"roll!"

"Everyone, get out of here!"

"If we allow you to continue causing trouble, how can this Beijing camp be able to shoulder the responsibility of defending the capital?"

Zhang Weixian is also a nobleman, and a descendant of Duke Yingguo Zhang Fu, but he is completely different from the people present!

He knew that his position was won by his ancestors fighting their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. If he wanted to sit down firmly and let his descendants live with the country, he had to try every possible way to serve the country!

But these guys before us have long forgotten the foundation of military merit and have become parasites of the court. They are lying on the merits of their ancestors, shamelessly enjoying the fruits of their labor!

A long time ago, he had mentioned the corrupt state of the Beijing army to the emperor, but Tianqi did not ask about it at that time.

Now that the emperor has finally made up his mind to reorganize the Beijing camp, he supports it from the bottom of his heart. How could he change his mind because of a few words from these people?

Upon hearing this, all the earls and marquises turned extremely embarrassed and looked at Duke Chengguo Zhu Chunchen for help.

Zhu Chunchen's face turned blue and purple after being scolded, and he pointed at Zhang Weixian and cursed back.

"Mr. Zhang, why are you pretending to be such a fool?"

"You are noble!"

"You are amazing!"

"You can scold me now!"

"You secretly sent people to Jiangnan to do business. You thought your brothers didn't know, right?"

"You even secretly opened a brothel! You bought girls from the Jiaofangsi to serve customers!"

"You are making money, but what about your brothers? All you have learned since childhood is how to kill people. How many of them can make money in a side way like you?"

"Now that His Majesty has cut off our connection with the Beijing Camp, all these skills are of no use!"
