Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 52 Zhang Jinyu's Promise
When Wu Yayu came to her guards, she spoke in the Jurchen language there.

Of course, Zhang Jinyu was listening to the scriptures. He didn't understand a sentence, so the little commander of a hundred people nodded, and then led his 100 people to stand in front of everyone in Zhang Jinyu's old camp.

Not timid, the 100-man squad seems small, but the Jurchens are still very imposing, and they treat their horses with great care.

They walked up to their respective horses and gently stroked the hair on the neck of the horses. Each horse snorted as if responding.

Zhang Jinyu didn't understand what they were doing either, they got on the horse, they communicated first.

Just as I was thinking, the team of 100 people suddenly moved, and the horse moved at the same time. Instead of riding directly on the horse, they trotted along with the horse for a certain distance, and then grabbed the saddle with their hands, turned over and flew over When the horse is put on the horse, the whole movement is uniform and done in one go, which is highly ornamental.

Good guy, this riding skill is amazing, the brothers from the old camp also gathered to watch it, and there was a lot of discussion.

Then the hundred-man team quickly increased the speed of the horse, let go of the reins with both hands, spread their arms, and kept moving their lower body, but their upper body remained straight.

There was another exclamation, and Zhang Jinyu's pupils shrank when he saw it. Good guy, this technique is amazing.

I remember that this is a unique skill of riding and archery, where to point and shoot, since Jurchen has such riding skills, what kind of demeanor are Donghu people and Yuezhi people?

Suddenly the team that was galloping, suddenly everyone fell down together and lost their shadows. Everyone thought that they had fallen off their horses collectively, and they all stood up in fright.

But upon closer inspection, there was no Jurchen figure on the ground. It turned out that they were hiding on the side of the horse and hanging directly on it. Zhang Jinyu felt distressed when he saw this. This should be a trick used to hide the arrows.

Before I finished thinking, I saw the Jurchen cavalry jump off the horse directly from the left side, then bounced up and sat back down, then jumped off the right side and came back, going back and forth three times, as if nothing happened.

The 2 people in the entire old camp were silently watching the performances of these Jurchens.

At this time, the Jurchen cavalry took out their long bows and drew them to the full, and then shot at a willow tree 300 meters away.
"Whizzing."

Hearing the sound of shooting arrows, he saw the arrows form a small black shadow and hit the willow tree. A guard of the Hou Mansion counted the arrows, and when he finished counting, he called out loudly;
"A hundred arrows hit 80."

With a "wow", the discussion on the old camp side became louder, and they all whispered there, some showed expressions of surprise, some nodded repeatedly, and some curled their lips in disbelief.

Zhang Jinyu looked at it and kept nodding in admiration,

"Wonderful, amazing, Yayu, are the Jurchen cavalry at this level?"

"That's not true. Only elites have it, but most cavalry can do it. Our Jurchen judges that an elite is an elite who shoots more than 10 out of 8 arrows immediately."

Zhang Jinyu grinned after hearing this;

"Okay, it's amazing. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to hit an arrow."

"Actually, it's not difficult. It's just practice. It's enough to achieve the unity of man and horse."

"Then I'll hand over the old battalion to you for training. Can you do this in a month apart from archery?"

"Based on their quality, they are about the same. At least they can do the horse vault. If they are good, they can do it once."

"That's good, don't leave, just settle down in the big camp outside Pingyang City, I will send you a maid, you come to train them, you will see results in a month, as for the armor and weapons, they will be delivered in half a month. "

"Ah."

Continue to watch the performance of the Jurchens. At this time, the Jurchens drew out their scimitars, and the formation changed into a conical charge. Wu Yayu explained beside him;
"This is the cone formation used by cavalry to break through formation."

Then it changed into a three-wing front and rear formation,
"This is the formation to surround and kill the opponent's skirmishers."

Then there were many formations to demonstrate one by one, and finally came back on horseback, pulling the reins and hundreds of cavalry stopped neatly, as if they were one person.

Looking at the hundreds of Jurchen guards who were still panting, Zhang Jinyu stood up and took the lead in applauding, and then more and more people stood up and applauded.

The hundred Jurchen guards were also at a loss, and hurriedly got off their horses and saluted Zhang Jinyu, who returned the salute.

then said;

"Ningbian, reward the hundred Jurchen warriors from Wuya."

"It's Lord Hou."

Ning Bian walked over to the 10 taels of silver bills per person. The guards looked at Wu Yayu in bewilderment while holding them in their hands. They didn't accept them until Wu Yayu nodded and put them in their arms. Zhang Jinyu just walked away without saying anything. to the old camp and said;
"Did you see, that is the cavalry, you go back today and take off your armor and weapons, and then train by my wife Wu Yayu for a period of one month, you are not required to be like them, at least 6% of the level is enough, new weapons The armor is in place in half a month. The salary is doubled during training, and the brothers tell me if I have confidence."

The old battalion sergeants shouted in unison,

"Have."

"Very good, eat fish, go back to the camp to finish your own affairs after eating, and then gather at the camp outside the city."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Zhang Jinyu didn't speak, just waved her hand and sat back, leaned beside Wu Yayu and took a few mouthfuls of water bag regardless of her image, Wu Yayu looked at Master Hou curiously, and asked,
"Why do your soldiers support you so much? It can be seen that they all admire you."

"Simple, my brother, treat him sincerely."

Seemingly a simple sentence, few people in this era can do it. Wu Yayu can't see through this man who is younger than herself. His legendary deeds are being sung all over the grassland. Maybe being with him is really a blessing. own luck.

"Zhang Jinyu, immortality, if you treat us Jurchens sincerely, we Jurchens will never betray you, we will share weal and woe with you."

Wu Yayu solemnly said Cheng Nuo to Zhang Jinyu, looking at the nervous girl in front of her, Zhang Jinyu also said solemnly to Wu Yayu;
"If you don't let me down, I will never let you down."

After Wu Yayu and the hundred Jurchen cavalry heard Zhang Jinyu's promise, they knelt down together, spoke a lot in Jurchen words, and then got up and explained;
"From now on we will treat you like our own king, long live the Great Khan."

Zhang Jinyu didn't say anything, but just pulled Wu Yayu into her arms and kept silent for a long time. Under the setting sun, the afterglow of the two people's silhouettes were so long and so deep.

But Yang Hanyu finally left the palace in Luoyunhou Mansion in the capital, but the long-lost freedom did not make him happy.

In such a large courtyard, there are still only myself and dozens of maids around me. Although the mansion is magnificent and mighty, I still feel lonely.

Of course, I also knew that this mansion belonged to the former prince, Prince Zhongyi. Thinking of what would happen to Prince Zhongyi, Yang Hanyu shook her head, it was so miserable.

You said that he can't wait another year, the throne will be on his head, and he thought of his nominal husband, Zhang Jinyu, and he didn't know what he was doing now. This marriage is really fresh in his memory, an imperial decree to solve it up.

Seeing Madam shaking her head, Huo'er asked aloud;

"Ma'am, what's the matter, why are you shaking your head?"

Yang Hanyu let out an "ah" and replied lazily;
"It's boring, what's the point of this day. Besides, the master is not here, we can't go out to play, or visit, it's boring."

Minger persuaded there;

"My dear lady, why don't we go to the garden again. The big lake in the backyard hasn't been played yet. If we really can't do it, let's drink tea and enjoy the scenery together."

Seeing Ming'er's delicious face, Yang Hanyu's face twitched, and Huo'er went straight to him.

"You just know how to eat. Look at how many days you are getting fat after leaving the palace."

Ming'er was so frightened that he quickly touched his little belly, and was relieved to see that it was still so big, and replied angrily;
"Whenever you didn't eat less, you got fat."

"Humph."

Just as the two were arguing, the maid outside the door came in,

"See Madam, this is the gift list and bank note from the concierge of the Hou Mansion, please have a look at Madam."

Huo'er hurried over to bring it to Yang Hanyu, and Yang Hanyu waved his hand to signal the maid to go down.

After the maid left, I opened the gift list and looked at it. There were servants from the Ministry of Household Affairs, servants from the Ministry of Rites, and so many people whose names I didn’t even know. , three thousand, ten thousand.

Oh my god, the Marquis of Luoyun Zhang Jinyu has a lot of weight, it's almost 5 taels of silver.

There are still so many things on the gift list, I don’t know how much they can sell for, the money belongs to Lord Hou or I, or I will keep it for you first, and then give it to him when he comes back. Thinking of this, I locked the silver ticket into myself in the box.

After locking it, Yang Hanyu thought about who else hadn't sent the money, so why not hurry up!
