Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 497
Huang Degong is a down-to-earth person with no mind.

When he heard the conversation between the emperor and the prince just now, he felt something was wrong.

His marksmanship is very ordinary, why did the emperor choose himself to compete with the prince, it must be that the emperor did not know how powerful Liu Wenxiu was.

Liu Wenxiu's marksmanship can be said to be unmatched in the entire Ming Dynasty.

He felt that the crown prince Zhu Cihong could only show his true level if he competed with Liu Wenxiu in marksmanship.

Huang Degong's words almost made Qi Jiguang dizzy, and he secretly scolded Huang Degong for being an idiot.

Can the Holy One not know Liu Wenxiu's marksmanship?He may not want the prince to lose too badly.

Li Dingguo, Yan Yingyuan, Liu Wenxiu and others secretly gave Huang Degong winks, but Huang Degong ignored them at all.

He mainly didn't understand what everyone meant, and said carelessly:

"Old Liu, what are you doing? Could it be that what Lao Huang said is wrong?"

Lao Liu is everyone's pet name for Liu Wenxiu. In fact, she is still very young, and she is no more than 17 years old this year.

Huang Degong's words made Li Dingguo, Yan Yingyuan and others want to beat him up. Everyone looked at the emperor's face and lowered their heads to ignore Huang Degong.

Zhu Cihong really didn't know who had better marksmanship, but his father said that he would not choose someone else if he had to compete with Huang Degong.

In fact, Zhu Youjian was not worried that the prince would lose badly. He felt that the prince was a scholar, and it would be good if he had Huang Degong's marksmanship.

If Huang Degong is better than Zhu Cihong, it just happens to teach Zhu Cihong a lesson, let him know that there are people beyond others, and it is of course better to win.

Huang Degong was originally the chief general of the first army, and it was impossible to charge the first one with a gun, and Zhu Youjian did not allow his generals to do that.

Zhu Cihong didn't ask his father again for instructions. Since his father said it, he would never disobey his father's wishes, and he was the Holy King of Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Huang Degong's modesty, Zhu Cihong smiled slightly:
"General Huang, since my father said, let me compete with you, don't be modest, this is also my father's oral order, we just need to carry it out."

"Oh, yes, thanks to His Highness reminding, otherwise Lao Huang would be disrespectful, thank Your Highness for reminding."

When Huang Degong heard the emperor's oral order, he remembered Zhu Youjian's words just now, and his back suddenly burst into cold sweat. Who would dare to disobey His Majesty's words.

Thanks to Zhu Cihong for the reminder, the two walked out of the hall side by side with two rifled guns.

Everyone followed them with a smile, even Zhu Youjian was no exception.

"Lao Huang, do a good job. We will prepare a target for you and His Highness."

Liu Wenxiu, Li Dingguo, Yan Yingyuan and other young generals were just having fun, so they immediately sent people to the kitchen to fetch twenty small bowls.

Another person brought a large wooden table, put twenty small bowls on the wooden table and said to Huang Degong and Zhu Cihong with a smile:
"Your Highness, Huang, each of you hit ten small bowls a hundred steps away, and the side with the most hits wins."

After finishing speaking, Li Dingguo asked Zhu Youjian again:

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Zhu Youjian nodded:
"Okay, that's it. Go get another ten small bowls and let King Ding try it too."

"According to the purpose"

Soon, another ten small bowls were placed on the wooden table. Everyone looked at Huang Degong and Zhu Cihong happily, and looked forward to their wonderful performance.

Zhu Cihong clasped his fists at Huang Degong and said with a smile:
"The general comes first."

Lao Huang clasped his fists in return:

"Thank you Your Highness, Lao Huang is not welcome."

After Huang Degong finished speaking, he turned around and walked a hundred meters away, raised his gun to aim a little, and immediately pulled the trigger:

"boom"

"Click"

A small bowl shattered with the sound of gunfire.

Huang Degong loaded another bullet, aimed at the small bowl again and pulled the trigger, and the small bowl shattered immediately.

He loaded the bullet and shot until the small bowls were broken. Huang Degong completed ten shots cleanly, and all ten small bowls were smashed.

A hundred paces away, he didn't aim much ten times, and almost always shot with a raised gun. This result is not bad.

Everyone nodded frequently. When Huang Degong retracted his gun, there was a burst of warm applause, and even Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cihong applauded together.

"Your Highness agrees, Lao Huang is fooled, and he is usually not at this level."

"The general is too polite, we brothers really don't have the confidence to hit all of them."

Huang Degong retracted his gun and smiled at Zhu Cihong, and said a few words of politeness, then stood aside to watch the shooting performance of the prince and King Ding.

Both Zhu Cihong and King Ding gave Huang Degong a thumbs up with a smile, and walked to the place where Huang Degong was standing just now.

Seeing Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong holding their guns steadily, Zhu Youjian immediately focused on them.

He felt that his two sons could pass five shots. After all, they didn't know what a gun looked like more than a year ago, and they wouldn't even trample an ant to death.

"Bang bang..."

The two men were very calm, without the slightest tension, and pulled the trigger as soon as they raised their guns. With two gunshots, two bowls were shattered.

"bang bang"

Two more gunshots were fired, and Brother Zhu Cihong was also hit again.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face. His son's performance was good, which was somewhat beyond his expectations. It seemed that Li Yan and Hong Niangzi must have taught them.

"bang bang"

"bang bang"

……

After the ten shots were over, all of them were hit, and the time it took was almost the same as that of Huang Degong.

"Clap clap clap..."

There was warm applause again at the scene. To be honest, their marksmanship not only exceeded Zhu Youjian's expectations, but also impressed everyone present.

They are the Crown Prince and King Ding, who have never even touched a gun before. In just over a year, the two brothers have turned from a cowardly scholar to a sharpshooter.

Everyone is an expert, and they can see that Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong are not only accurate in marksmanship, but also have a strong physique.

From the moment they raised their guns to the end of the shooting, there was almost no change in their bodies, breath or expressions.

You must know that all this requires physical support, otherwise the shooter behind will definitely shake slightly.

Zhu Youjian was even more overjoyed:

"Okay, I have decided to keep you guys. King Ding leads the Pingkou army to garrison Batavia. After the neighboring small countries are conquered, you can manage it well for Daming. When you feel homesick, you can go back and live for a few days a year.

In addition, the crown prince Zhu Cihong followed Qi Jiguang to fight, and he can't be special in the army. It is still the same as before. Please remember that you are not the crown prince but a general of the Ming army.

If you can accept it, do it well, if you can't accept it, you should go back to supervise the country obediently, remember, you must obey the command, and you can't be self-righteous. "

Zhu Cihong was so happy that he almost jumped up. Of course he was willing to stay by Qi Jiguang's side and expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty. Not only would he be able to experience himself, but he would also be famous in history.

"Your servant obeys the order, please rest assured that there is no prince here, and my son is just a deputy general under the command of Governor Qi Jiguang."

Zhu Cihong had already thanked him happily, but Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong was still in a daze.

He was actually left in Batavia by his father. Could it be that this place will be his fiefdom from now on?
I have been in Daming for so many years, and I don't even have a fief, but now I suddenly let him be independent from overseas?is this real?
