golden scales

Zhou Jing envied and hated Tian Cunshan, but Tian Cunshan was dumb and couldn't tell if he was suffering from Coptis chinensis.

With the prince's brilliance and martial arts, how could it be possible for the eunuch to control his own guards?The hope of controlling Daming's future?

None of these internal officials were from Yumajian, but they all graduated from Neishutang.

Zhu Cihong asked them to go down to each banner, just to teach the recruits to read and understand the principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.At the same time, it is also responsible for reporting from the bottom to the top, but it is absolutely forbidden to make any remarks on military training and combat deployment.If someone dared to try the law with his own body, Zhu Cihong would definitely not let go of the opportunity to kill someone and establish his prestige.

The trainers who were sent down took the "Literacy" and "Arithmetic" written by the prince, and found that it was not difficult to teach these Qiu Ba to read and write.Especially for literacy, start with cursive codes, then common characters such as "population hands, sun and moonlight", and then folk characters. The more complex traditional characters are only used as supplementary teaching materials. What.

As for arithmetic, it is not difficult, and it is also step by step, even the most stupid people should be able to learn it.

The difficult thing is to communicate from the bottom up.

The prince asked them to take care of these recruits at all times, whether they were not eating well or sleeping well, they had to ask them one by one, and then reported them.In order to assess their work attitude, the internal officials who could not remember the names of all the people under the banner within three days will be sent to boil hot water.This is not a good job, it is like a mountain pressing on the head of the young servant.

"This is simply offering up Qiu Ba as an uncle!" Even the big Han generals were quite resentful about this.

"This time Zhang Laosan died unjustly." Someone said.

Zhang Laosan was the big Han general who beat up the recruits. He originally wanted to give these newcomers a blow, but he wanted a group of untouchables who would not dare to make a big deal out of it.And I heard that these people have neither a township party nor a family, so what are they afraid of if they are killed?Unexpectedly, the prince's number Qi Bing is so powerful, when he was receiving the meal that day, he found that one person was missing, and after a little searching, he was found.

Although on the surface, the crown prince declared that the recruit would die if he did not abide by the military law.However, behind the scenes, Zhang Laosan was sent to the Ministry of Punishment, where he was convicted of intentional homicide.

"It's so fucking aggrieved, how are you going to live these days!" Someone slammed the table heavily and shouted loudly.

"Shhh, be careful!" A seasoned person hastily warned: "Now those eunuchs live in the same yard as us, be careful to let them listen and inform."

The East Palace Waidi covers an area of ​​more than 180 mu. Now there are hundreds of houses that have been repaired and can live in, but when the two thousand recruits arrive, the houses are not enough.Now the eunuchs and guards are crowded together, and I heard that they will soon be given bunk beds.As for those female officials and court ladies, except for those who stayed on duty, the rest returned to live in the palace.

"Afraid of a ball! I don't want to do it yet!" the man raised his voice.

Everyone was speechless for a while.

In the silence, a long and clear voice came from the corner: "No Promise."

Everyone turned their heads.

"We are all from aristocratic families and have been blessed for many generations. Now that the country is in trouble, the crown prince has left the palace to purge him at a young age. If we are not useless ourselves, why should we recruit those untouchables?"

Although the words were reasonable, everyone sneered: "You speak for the prince, but you don't know that you are also useless."

"Whether it is useful or not will be known after a long time." The man stood up, closed the scroll in his hand, and walked to the door: "A man is a man who wears armor and has no heart to serve the country. How is it different from an eunuch? Xiao Mo , If you don’t know me today, please take a good look at it, after all, you are different from mediocrity like you!”

Some of the crowd cursed, some made sarcastic remarks, but Xiao Mo just smiled lightly and strode out of the threshold.Nowadays, the generals of the Han Dynasty are basically appointed as the training staff, and they are responsible for practicing with the "Law Code" written by the prince.Although they didn't know the great use of running in line, the prince's request was very clear, just keep an eye on those Qiu Balians.

It is best to practice a few to death.

Xiao Mo was wearing armor, with a long knife on his belt, and the ivory waist plate was tapped on the skirt armor with his steps.He entered the new barracks all the way, and no one dared to stop him, which made him almost stop, and reprimanded the two new recruits who neglected their duties.But thinking that he didn't come here by order, he suddenly lost his confidence, and walked in again after his feet stagnated.

At this time, the static board had been beaten, and the training eunuch had talked about the rules during the day, and the entire camp was only filled with snoring one after another.After traveling around for so many days, these people finally settled down, took a bath, ate, relaxed their spirits, and naturally fell asleep soundly.

Xiao Mo wanted to find an empty bed, but suddenly saw three or five people coming with lanterns, the leader stepped forward, and shouted in a low voice, "Who is it!"

It was the voice of Zhou Jing, the head of the Eastern Palace guards.

"Humble job Xiao Mo, I have met Zhou Junmen." Xiao Mo hastily stepped forward to attend the ceremony.

Zhou Jing finally relaxed a little, and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

"The humble job is to live with the recruits and practice together." Xiao Mo said loudly.

A slightly shorter figure came out from behind Zhou Jing and asked, "Why do you have such an idea?"

It's His Royal Highness!

Xiao Mo only felt his blood surge, and blurted out: "Your Highness thinks I'm not good enough, but I'm confident that I'm not a rotten tree! I'm willing to do it myself and serve the country with meritorious service!"

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong smiled sincerely: "People must love themselves, and future generations will love them. Since you have such determination, I will naturally fulfill you."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xiao Mo said loudly.

"However, you broke the camp regulations by breaking into the forbidden camp at night, and you will be beaten with twenty army sticks first." The prince waved his hand: "Zhou Jing, execute."

Xiao Mo's face remained unchanged, he stood aside calmly, untied his military uniform, and endured twenty army sticks.After being tortured, even a strong man who had been struggling all year round could not bear it and staggered.Fortunately, there was already a training officer waiting by the side, who helped Xiao Mo go in and assigned a bed, gave him the badge of [-], comforted him with kind words, and promised to send a good medicine for the wound tomorrow.

——Being Qiu Ba is really more face-saving than being a big Han general.

Xiao Mo's mind turned, and he had already fallen into a deep sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the trumpet sounded, and each room remembered the rules learned yesterday, and got up one after another.Xiao Mo opened his eyes drowsily, and saw the recruits around him curiously sizing up the newcomer in the middle of the night, and was even more amazed at his good physique and tall stature.

"Brother, why are you being beaten?" Someone leaned over and asked.

"The curfew is broken." Xiao Mo said calmly, sat up and grinned.

"This is really hard." Someone took a breath.

Xiao Mo smiled inwardly: "General Dahan executes punishment. He can beat you with a hundred sticks without dying, and he can also kill you with one stick."More experienced hands can secretly accumulate strength, so that you will die the day you die.

He straightened his face and said: "The prince is benevolent, if he is placed in another army, breaking the curfew will be the crime of beheading."

Everyone took a deep breath when they heard this, and suddenly saw a big Han general coming in from the back door with a stick, and they didn't dare to chat anymore, so they hurriedly put on their clothes and prepared to line up to wash up.Moreover, there are too many people and few toilets. If you don’t go to empty your stomach sooner, you will be in trouble later.

Seeing that the man was familiar, Xiao Mo didn't panic, and still took the time to tidy up his clothes.

"Brother Mo," the man came over, holding a porcelain bottle in his hand, "I'll help you get some medicine."

"Okay." Xiao Mo lifted up his clothes generously, revealing his generous back.

There was a patch of green and red on the back, looking creepy, but it was just a flesh wound.

The man pulled out the cork from the bottle mouth, and there were wound medicines like grease everywhere. He slapped Xiao Mo's back with his palm and rubbed them vigorously, so that the medicine could be swallowed.Xiao Mo only felt a sense of coolness, and his whole body felt much better. He snorted twice and felt indecent, and said, "Brother Shan has a heart."

"Yesterday, Mo Ge'er's words sound harsh at first, but when you think about it carefully, it's true." The man surnamed Shan said while rubbing.

"Hmph, how do those sparrows know the ambition of a wild goose?" Xiao Mo said coldly: "Brother Shan, if you are ambitious, listen to my brother's advice, don't spend your time with those people, and suffer some hardships while you are young." , in the future, a share of Conglong’s merits will be enough for generations to come.”

"Brother Mo thinks that the prince is really going to do something big?"

"The current situation..." Xiao Mo turned over, pulled off his clothes, and said in a low voice: "It is said that if we are united for a long time, we will be divided, and if we are divided for a long time, we will be united. If Da Ming cannot be slowed down, he will perish. Seeing the world is in chaos, he has soldiers in his hands. It's serious! You and I put it nicely as a general, but to put it bluntly, it's just a personal pile. Fortunately, the crown prince has the heart to organize the army, so what are you waiting for if you don't climb the dragon and the phoenix?"

The man surnamed Shan looked solemn and frowned: "Brother is right. After my brother left yesterday, there were a lot of discussions in the camp. The few of us who walked frequently wanted to earn some merit with my brother."

"Don't," Xiao Mo said, "you're not earning merit with me, you're earning merit with the prince. Look at these people and you should know that the prince is jealous of the people below you. If you want to win, you should take off your clothes and follow This group of Qiu Ba is generally the same. Otherwise, it would be better to just hang out at home and wait to die."

"This……"

"Look at the punishment I received yesterday," Xiao Mo laughed at himself, "The prince must be a person who trusts in rewards and punishments, whoever sets himself up high will fall badly."

"Dan Ning got my brother's advice, and I will never forget it!" Dan Ning clasped his fists out.

The first bamboo whistle has already sounded outside, which means the first line up.When the three whistles are not heard, they will be served with sticks and whips.
