I will be the prince at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 59 Arriving in Jiangning
On the seventh day of July in the 13th year of Yongli (16th year of Shunzhi), Zheng Chenggong, king of Yanping, led an army to the gate of Guanyin in the north of Jiangning City by boat.

Zhu Cixuan, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, wiped out 500 horse infantrymen in Ganzhou prefecture called by Ma Jun, the general of Ganzhou, [-] miles north of Ningdu County, Jiangxi Province, and [-] miles south of Meiling.

On the ninth day of July, Zheng Chenggong's main fleet moored at the riverside outside Yifeng Gate in the northwest corner of Jiangning City.

Zhu Cixuan led [-] cavalry and encountered [-] Green Battalion soldiers led by General Fuzhou in Hengshan, Fuzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province to support Jiangning. General Zhao Shikuan surrendered.

On the tenth day of the seventh month, Zheng Chenggong's brigade went ashore and camped outside Yifeng Gate.Soon, Zheng Jun successively camped outside the gates of Guanyin, Jinchuan, Zhongfu, Yifeng, Jiangdong, Shence, and Taiping in the inner and outer city walls of Jiangning, with a total of 83 camps.

Cannons were installed in various camps, and siege equipment such as ladders, rattan tablets, bamboo baskets, shovels, and chisels were prepared.Zheng Chenggong camped outside Yifeng Gate.

Zhu Cixuan was stationed in Leping County, Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province in Maoshi, and was welcomed into the county government by the magistrate of Leping County.

In the evening, after taking a bath under the service of Qingchan and Qingyu, after being refreshed, I called out the system and saw that the number of times the system has accumulated in the past few days to spend 100 gold coins for a lucky draw has reached 1 times. Nan, Ningdu, and Leping once, and the lottery will start.

Meditate in my heart to spend 100 gold coins to draw a prize.

"Ding, skill card: Archery Specialization, use this card, proficient in archery essentials to master the bow, do you want to use it?"

Zhu Cixuan silently said "use", and the various shooting methods and movements of archery were instilled into Zhu Cixuan's mind one by one.

At the same time, Zhu Cixuan also understood that in archery, accuracy is the top priority, and at the same time, a certain rate of fire and strength are emphasized.

Archery is divided into slow fire and rapid fire.

Slow shooting is also called literary shooting and ritual shooting. It emphasizes slowness, stability and accuracy. Calm, poised and magnanimous.

Rapid shooting, also known as martial arts shooting, is a rapid archery method that emphasizes fast, ruthless, and accurate shooting, that is, fast shooting speed, great strength, and accurate shooting. The emphasis is on training strength and physical fitness.

Slow shooting is a bit similar to regular script in calligraphy. Every move, every stroke, every stroke emphasizes precision, not speed.Rapid fire is a bit similar to running script. On the basis of proficiency in the basic movements, it is fast and practical. At the same time, the fitness effect of rapid fire is particularly obvious.

Slow fire in archery is the basis of rapid fire, and rapid fire is the basis of horseback shooting.Whether it is slow fire, rapid fire, or horseback shooting, there are action essentials for both left and right bows. The so-called "left and right galloping" in history means left and right horseback riding rapid fire.

There are two most basic shooting methods in archery: the multi-finger string-drawing method and the single-finger string-drawing method.

The single-finger hook-string shooting method is to place the arrow outside. The essentials are: hold the bow handle firmly with the middle finger in front, lightly hold the ring finger and little finger, straighten the thumb and index finger naturally, and the tiger's mouth is facing the target.

The index finger and thumb of the back hand are close together, flat like a "phoenix eye", the index finger presses the front of the thumb tightly, the thumb is the main force-bearing finger, the index finger is the auxiliary force-bearing finger, the index finger slightly presses the arrow shaft against the bow grip, and the thumb hooks the string behind the ear , the arrow hits the thumb of the front hand and shoots.

Or with the back hand, use the middle finger to clasp the thumb tightly, and the index finger to clasp the thumb slightly, when (following) the string and upright, slightly press the arrow shaft tightly to the bow handle, so that the bow can be drawn powerfully and with high accuracy.The back hand can be double-handed, that is, the index finger and middle finger are tightly clasped with the thumb, and the pulling force can reach the maximum, which is suitable for short-range rapid fire.

The multi-finger hook-string shooting method is built-in. The essentials: the front and rear hands are half-clenched, and the circle is like an "eagle's eye".

The front hand must be the thumb pressing the index finger, the five fingers gripping the handle of the bow, the big knuckles of the four fingers pointing forward, and the tiger's mouth facing the target.In the back hand, the index finger and middle finger clamp the nock, the index finger presses the thumb, and the thumb is close to the nock to stabilize the nock.Use the fourth finger of Shizhongwu to pull the string to the back of the ear, the third finger of Shizhongwu is the force-bearing finger, the little finger naturally leans on the string to assist, and the arrow hits the index finger of the front hand and shoots.

The multi-finger hook-string shooting method is to nock the arrow in the bow (that is, nock the arrow inside the bow, and also means nock the arrow through the bow body and strings). There are two ways to put the arrow, one is to hold the arrow with the index finger and middle finger [-]. Clamp the tail of the arrow shaft with the thumb, and pass the arrow tail forward between the bowstring and the bow back. The arrow shaft rests on the index finger of the archer holding the bow, and then the archer holds the bowstring with the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, and then the archer holds the bow Hook the bowstring with multiple fingers, draw the bow and shoot out.

The second is to hold the arrow shaft with the archer, and pass the arrow forward between the outside of the bowstring and the inside of the bow body, then clamp the arrow shaft with the index finger of the archer, and then slide the arrow shaft with the index finger and middle finger of the archer to The tail of the arrow is pulled on the string with the thumb, and then the archer hooks the bowstring with multiple fingers, pulls the bow and shoots.

Whether it is the multi-finger hook-string shooting method or the single-finger hook string shooting method, it is necessary to push Mount Tai forward and swing the tiger's tail back.

Forward pushing Taishan: refers to pushing the bow with the front hand, the wrist is straight, hard and stable, and the tiger's mouth is a single point of force to push the bow handle, so that the bow's stress condition is the best; Hands should swing back naturally and straighten, the front and back hands are in a straight line, and the movements are stretched and natural.

The difference between these two shooting methods is that the front hand pushes the bow with multiple fingers. The five fingers of the front hand hold the bow tightly, and the ring finger and little finger hold the bow lightly, so that the elastic force is the largest and stable; the thumb draws the string. Stretch forward, and lightly hold the bow handle with the remaining three fingers, which can maximize the elasticity and lightness.

The Nine Precepts of Archery: benevolence and virtue, honesty and humility, self-respect and integrity, strict etiquette, honesty and courage, practicing archery without saying a word, being honest and upright, not complaining about the winner, and not bending another bow.

The eight principles of holding a bow: observe the terrain together, observe the wind from the back, see if it is not the same as the eight, the chest is empty and the abdomen is full, push Mount Tai forward, the hair is like a tiger's tail, the hair does not hit the target, and seek others.

After assimilating the knowledge of archery, Zhu Cixuan couldn't help sighing. He didn't expect a simple archery to have so many details.

Then he spent another 100 gold coins and conducted a lottery draw.

"Congratulations, dear customer, 50 gold coins have been drawn and have been deposited into the balance, please check."

Fuck, 50 gold coins?That's it?Just drew 50 gold coins?The system touches your conscience, why do you have the nerve to give out a prize like 50 gold coins? After a lot of hard work, you finally get a chance to draw a lottery, and you just draw 50 gold coins, black, too black, Zhu Cixuan scolded the system in his heart endlessly.

There is no way, you are the master of the system, you are awesome, you have the final say.Zhu Cixuan carried out the last lottery drawing angrily.

"Congratulations, dear customer, you got 20 gold coins."

I wipe, what do you mean? 20 gold coins is too much, how dare you give the system a reward of 20 gold coins, Zhu Cixuan wailed.

Could it be that the system still has the ability to read minds, knowing that I scolded him in my heart just now, so I gave him a prize of 20 gold coins?Do you want to praise him in the next lottery draw?The indignant Zhu Cixuan was so angry that he lay on the bed and didn't fall asleep for a long time.

The next day, with a pair of panda eyes, Haqie left Pingle County and continued northward.

On July [-]th, after a long journey of more than [-] miles, the army set up a camp ten miles outside Jiagang Gate in Jiangning.
