Chapter 211 Five Heroes With Knives
"Swords and guns have no eyes, let's compete and learn from each other, let's go!"

Following the shout of Yang Boxing, the commander-in-chief of Yulin Town, the atmosphere in the Yanzhou teaching field suddenly became solemn.

Bi Kunyang held a seven-foot-seven long spear in his hand. When the spear was pointed, the spear came out like a dragon. Iron entanglement, the whole gun is extremely heavy, and the moves used are even more open and closed, with great force. This is the Bi family's marksmanship that has been passed down for a long time in the world.

On the other side, Wu Junqing flicked his spear, but nine spear heads came out, like plum blossoms blooming, and it was hard to distinguish the real from the false. This is a northern marksman who is as famous as Bi Kunyang in the world.

"It's ugly!"

Chu Fusheng from Shanghai also carried a gun. He trained his muscles and bones externally and internally. He was good friends with Wu Junqing Bi Kunyang. He learned guns from them, and then created his own Siping gun. Ji, it's hard for a hundred people to get close to dancing.

"I didn't expect to see the famous three guns in the world today. This trip is really worthwhile. The boxing champion of Ningbo Yin County came to Xian for advice."

A strong man in his thirties also came off the stage. He was bare-chested, but his hands were wearing a pair of iron gloves with protruding nail heads on them, making him look very ferocious.

It is said that the yearly knife, the moon stick and the stick gun, and that the fist is afraid of the young and strong, and the old master will be killed with a few punches.

Yang Boxing said in front of Zhu Yihai, "Although Wang Laixian is young, he is very good at internal martial arts, and he is also proficient in acupuncture. He rebelled against Lord Qian Sule before and worshiped him as the instructor of the camp. This time, he was recommended by Lord Qian to come to the imperial camp. Serve as a bodyguard."

When Yang Boxing was collecting firewood and working as a woodcutter in Ningbo, he had heard of Wang Laixian's name countless times at the pier. Once someone disrespected Wang Laixian. He used acupuncture to make the other party unable to pee for three days. Finally, he kowtowed and apologized. He solved it.

"He can kill a big buffalo with one punch!" Yang Boxing added, "I saw it with my own eyes."

Zhu Yihai nodded. Acupuncture is still a bit miraculous, but to kill a buffalo with one punch is definitely very brave and requires some skills.

"Fu Shan, Taiyuan, Shanxi, ask for advice!"

A middle-aged man in a red Taoist robe and a bun walked off the field with a sword on his back.

Seeing this person, Zhu Yihai also became energetic. This person is very famous. Regardless of his Taoist robes, he has long been famous all over the world. He was born in a family of officials and scholars in Shandong. , Grandfather Fu Lin served as a counselor in Shandong and a soldier in Liaohai.

Fu Shan received a good family education since he was a child, with extensive knowledge and strong knowledge. He became a doctoral student at the age of 15, and took an examination of higher education at the age of 20. After that, he studied at Sanli Academy. He was taught by Shanxi Tixue Yuan Jixian and was Yuan's favorite student.

Yuan Jixian was a loyal minister who died for the country in Huguang'an Qingying, the governor of Jiangxi during the Hongguang period. He was captured and refused to surrender. He was escorted to Beijing and killed. , before Zhu Yihai issued an imperial edict to posthumously present the prince, and entered it into the record of loyalty and righteousness.

During the reign of Chongzhen, Yuan Jixian was originally the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he was demoted to Shanxi to study. Shanxi Xunzhen Zhang Sunzhen was accused of falsely accusing him and imprisoned. The teacher redressed his grievances, and printed and distributed posters around the capital, affirming the truth. After seven or eight months of struggle, the teacher was finally redressed. Because of this incident, Fu Shan became famous all over the capital, and was praised as his father. A loyal and filial figure like Huang Zongxi who was wronged.

Later, Yuan Jixian returned to Hubei, but Fu Shan had no intention of official career. He chose to stay in Sanli Academy to give lectures. Don't yield to the intruders and the Eastern captives, and refuse to accept the surrender and appointment of officials.

Later, Fu Qingzhu was forced to flee because he conspired with the Shanxi generals and gentry to restore righteousness.

It sounds like Fu Shan is a scholar, a gentleman, but this erudite and knowledgeable man is not only proficient in Chinese classics and history, but also all kinds of theories passed down from Western and Western countries, and even various religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, and Christianity. Studying, is also a master with excellent medical skills.

Of course, he is still a master of the inner family, and he is good at using swords, and he is a master of swordsmanship.

The five showed their strengths on the school grounds.

Bi Kunyang's Iron Spear, Wu Junqing's Flower Spear, Chu Fusheng's Siping Spear, Wang Laixian's Neijiaquan and Fu Qingzhu's Sword.

Fists come and swords come and go, and the wind of guns howls.

Five masters come and go on the field. This is not a one-on-one competition, but a five-person random fight, which shows their skills even more.

It is necessary to attack, but also to defend.

After fighting for a long time, there was no winner, but Zhu Yihai enjoyed watching it so much that he couldn't help standing up and applauding loudly.

"Everyone, please stop."

"Today, the five of you will compete, regardless of the outcome, and you will be awarded the fifth-rank imperial guards and the avant-garde instructors of the government army."

The avant-garde guard of the government army, one of the 26 guards of the emperor's pro-army, commanded the young army and took turns to guard with swords.It was first set up in the Yongle period. It was specially selected young troops for the emperor's grandson, set up the vanguard of the government army, and commanded 25 troops. At its peak, it commanded tens of thousands of young troops.

The court guards of the Ming Dynasty were composed of various military forces, including Jinyiwei Dahan General, Wujun Battalion Fork Knife Wei Zishou, [-] Battalion Red Helmet General, [-] Battalion Mingjia General, Xunwei, Sanqi Sheren, former Fujun The avant-garde waits for the guard with the knife officer and so on.

Except for the officer with the sword in the vanguard of the government army, most of the other bodyguards are served by the children of honored relatives or soldiers with ceremonial functions.

Only the officers with swords in the vanguard of the government army were directly drawn from the general officers of the Jingwei, which is very special.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the young army did not refer to the vanguard of the government army, but to the young soldiers, who were too young to participate in the war and practiced chores in the guard.

But when Yongle set up the vanguard of the government army, the young army was different. They selected strong and brave children from the people, aged between 25 and [-] to [-], and they were not filled by hereditary military households. This was a young recruiting army.

At that time, this army was called the good family of the six counties.

This was related to the situation at the time. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di swept north and dispatched a large number of elite guards to accompany him, but he was unwilling to reduce the standards of the beloved emperor's grandson's retinue and guards, so he recruited new soldiers to maintain the standards.

However, although the young army was large in number at that time, its status was low. However, later on, the young army of the military guards in front of the mansion gradually became abolished, and only the vanguard of the mansion army was left with the duty of guards with sword officers.

But now Zhu Yihai's imperial army has long since stopped using the original system, and only a few of the 26 guards in Shangwei use their names, such as Banner Bearer, Habayashi, Jinwu, Warrior, and Yongwei. The original is already different.

Now that Zhu Yihai has set up a new vanguard of the government army, he needs to replenish the young army, which is also different from the original young army.

This new young army selects the children of Zhongliang's family, who are between 16 and 20 years old, and gives priority to the children of soldiers who died in battle for the country.

The young army in the vanguard of the government army is actually a student army. Zhu Yihai intends to keep it by his side and personally teach him to build a new army that is reliable and usable. After training and being on duty, after a few years of tempering, they will be sent to other armies to serve as grassroots officers and gradually become the backbone of the army.

This will be the tenth town of the Imperial Guard Army.

Fu Qingzhu and other martial arts masters, Zhu Yihai taught them to be guards with swords in front of the imperial court, and also instructors of swords and guns for the avant-garde young army of the government army.

At the same time that Zhu Yihai established the avant-garde young army of the government army, Zhu Yihai also established the three guard camps of pro-Xunyi. Assuming the role of attendant, even has a hint of hostage, which in turn helps to communicate with the courtiers, and is even a kind of reward and welfare to the courtiers. After all, being the emperor's personal servant is also a good official position way.

Liu Mu's two sons, Liu Zhaoxiang and Liu Zhaoji, as well as Chu Fusheng's disciples Wang Duifan and Chi Tianrong, Fu Shan's son Fu Mei, nephew Fu Ren, etc., were all transferred to the avant-garde young army of the government army. Shi Xiong Rulin joined the right servant of the Ministry of War as the chief officer of the avant-garde infantry battalion of the admiral's army.

Xiong Rulin was a Jinshi in Chongzhen for four years. He was the magistrate of Tong'an County in Fujian. During his tenure, he led troops across the sea to defeat the Dutch colonists in Xiamen.

Although he is a civil servant, he is loyal and brave, very sharp. When defending Qiantang, no matter how big or small the battle is, he will lead his bear army to fight. No regrets, never discouraged.

With this kind of vigor, Zhu Yihai felt that it was very suitable for him to lead the young army.

The young army will be a group of recruited young student soldiers, and select brave veterans from various towns in the imperial camp to serve as non-commissioned officers and train together.
These apprentice soldiers are like a blank sheet of paper, what they need most is this loyalty and courage, to ensure food and equipment, and to give them adequate training. Zhu Yihai believes that this young army will shine in the future.

An army like Fang Guoan's is not credible. In troubled times, he still has to build an elite new army. The imperial battalion of the towns is Zhu Yihai's real capital and his hope of turning around.

"In order to show that it is different from the original army's vanguard and young army camp, it was renamed the tenth town of the imperial camp and pro-army, and was given the name of Qianniu Town. The sword officer was the guard of Qianniu, and was awarded the Qianniu Sword."

It is said that the Qianniu Dao, which can cut a thousand cows with one knife, was an imperial weapon carried by the imperial guards in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. When the emperor approached, except for the guards who could carry imperial equipment such as Qianniu Beishen, the rest of the guards could only carry wooden class swords, etc. For the guard of honor.

Yulin, Jinwu, Qianniu, Banner Bearer, Shenji, Yongwei, Warrior, Shizhong, Fubo, Dinghai, the ten towns of the imperial camp, plus the three thousand towns of the Beijing camp and the two towns of the five armies, this has already begun to take shape .

Qianniu Town also tentatively set up ten battalions, and young and brave children from the Zhongliang Family were selected from various places as coaches.

"Your Highness, there is a ship coming from Shaoxing."

"It's the senior scholars from the cabinet and the eunuchs from the ceremonies and other divisions."

Zhu Yihai just frowned when he heard that, he expected to come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"It's really a headache."

He wanted to send troops to stop them and keep them from coming, but he also knew that would not work.

"Forget it, come on, let Zhu Shengli take the Jinwu cavalry to meet him."

What he did in Yanzhou, it seems that the ministers who are walking can't sit still, this wave is menacing.
