Smuggling Daming

Inside the leopard room, Zhengde was laughing with a memorial, which was sent by North Korea. It said two things in total, and they were all happy things.The first thing is that as the Koreans moved out, North Korea finally settled down, and ordinary Han immigrants dared to leave the Han settlements. This also marks that North Korea has been completely brought under the rule of Ming Dynasty. Without civil strife, it is impossible for North Korea to break away from the rule of Ming Dynasty.

The second thing is more gratifying, at least from Zhengde's point of view, this thing is that Ming's army won the battle again, and it was still in the country of Wa. The [-]-strong army, but its own losses are very few, which makes Zhengde, who loves the military very much, overjoyed.

The Iwami Silver Mine has already produced output. According to reports from the people below, the annual output is astonishing. With this silver mine alone, it is estimated that the Ming treasury does not have to worry about the lack of silver flowers. Originally, Zhengde was worried that he would not be able to keep it. After all Such a large silver mine is located in the territory of the Japanese country, and the surrounding Japanese people will definitely go crazy to snatch it, but I didn't expect that although those Japanese people organized people to rob it, they were defeated by the frontier army. Finally relieved.

"Great use, prepare the horse, I'm going to the military academy!" Zhengde has a problem now, that is, he will go to the military academy for a while when he is happy. Anyway, he has the name of a military academy principal, so it is reasonable to go to inspect the military academy It should, of course, because the military academy is in the western suburbs of Beijing, so Zhengde had to go through half of Beijing city when he went to the military academy, and he could go out of Beijing in a legitimate way. This is what made Zhengde the happiest.After all, he stayed in this lifeless Forbidden City all day long.He felt like he was going to die.

Gu Dayong heard Zhengde's order.Immediately agreed to let people prepare Zhengde's horses. Speaking of which, Zhengde loves martial arts and even regards himself as a general, so no matter where he goes, he likes to ride a horse instead of a car. Unfortunately, he could only ride in the Forbidden City before. , Now there is the excuse of the military academy.He can finally show off in the city of Beijing on a horse.

The Royal Army Academy in Beijing has been built, instructors and students have been recruited, and normal churches have started this spring.When Zhengde came to the military academy on horseback, the first thing he saw was the tall knight statue in front of the military academy gate. This knight statue was carved according to Zhengde's appearance, and it was more than three feet high. The knight stepped on the horse. The front hooves are soaring into the air, and the head is held high in the form of neighing, while the knight on the horse is pointing at the sky with a sword in his hand, looking mighty and extraordinary.

What Zhengde is most satisfied with is his own statue.At every distance, I have to stop my horse and look at it carefully for a long time, in order to complete this statue.Not only did he send out the last stonemason, but he also borrowed several European craftsmen who knew how to carve from Zhou Zhong, and combined the techniques of both sides to complete the statue.

Zhengde looked at his statue as usual, and then he came to the gate of the military academy contentedly, and then swung the saddle off his horse. According to the rules of the military academy, no one is allowed to ride a horse in the military academy, and the rules of the palace Same, unless the students in the cavalry department are practicing riding.

Zhengde is the principal of the military academy, but he takes the initiative to maintain the rules of the military academy, so every time he comes to the military academy, he will take the initiative to dismount. After all, even he, the emperor, has dismounted. Others come to the military academy, regardless of the rank of the official , all had to dismount and walk, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the imperial power, and they might be caught by Jin Yiwei and sent to prison.

It was already noon when Zhengde came, and it was time for the military academy to have lunch. In front of the huge cafeteria of the military academy, the students of the military academy were arranged in neat lines in units of classes, waiting for the cafeteria to open.Zhengde also just didn't have lunch, so he asked Gu Dayong to find a rice bowl for himself, and entered the line of instructors to queue up to receive the meal.

For the arrival of Zhengde, the instructors and students in the military academy are already used to it. At first they felt a little fearful, but as time went on, they gradually got used to the arrival of Zhengde, and Zhengde also asked the people in the military academy to see him. There is no need to salute when he arrives, and he likes to wear casual clothes, so if an outsider enters the military academy at this time, it is impossible to find out from the instructors and students who is His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

When it was time to eat, the cafeteria opened the door, and then the instructor team led by Zhengde advanced first, and the students in the back entered the cafeteria in order of class, but even if they entered the cafeteria, the team of students still could not be disbanded. The class is a unit, and a few people are sent to cook together. This is all proposed by Zhou Zhong in the military academy's planning book, in order to cultivate the collective consciousness of the military academy students. After all, the army is a place that does not allow individual heroism. Everyone must remember that they are part of this collective.

Although people in the military academy are used to the existence of Zhengde, in some respects, Zhengde still has considerable privileges. For example, when queuing for a meal, naturally no one dares to stand in front of Zhengde, and the cook in the cafeteria also knows the emperor of Ming Dynasty Your Majesty, immediately took the rice bowl from Zhengde's hand respectfully, filled it with two spoonfuls of rice, one meat and one vegetable, and half a cooked corn on the cob. There is no fruit in this season, otherwise the corn will be destroyed. become some kind of fruit.

Zhengde took his own food and found a seat and sat down. Gu Dayong immediately went up to taste Zhengde's food. In fact, the food in the military academy has been strictly inspected, and the procedure is not much worse than that of the royal chef in the palace. , there is no possibility of poisoning at all, but there must be rules in the palace, at least Gu Dayong dare not be sloppy.

Zhengde likes to be lively, even if he is eating, he wants to find someone to accompany him, but the whole military academy has searched and searched, and only the old Duke of Wei, Xu Yu, is qualified to sit at a table with him, so every time Zhengde came to the cafeteria to eat, He would ask Xu Wu to sit with him, but today Zhengde sat down and looked left and right, but he didn't find Xu Wu, which made him feel a little strange.

Randomly pulled an instructor over to ask, but the other party bowed and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the military academy has prepared a riding and archery competition this afternoon. Both instructors and students in the military academy can participate. The school supervisor Xu probably went to inspect the competition." I have already used the venue, so I may come to the cafeteria to eat later."

When Zhengde heard that the school was going to hold a competition, and it was his favorite riding and archery, he was very excited at the moment. After finishing his meal, he asked where the competition venue was, and rushed over excitedly , It turns out that not only Xu Yu is here, but Qiu Yue, who is the head instructor of the military academy, is also here.

"Haha, why didn't the old man go to eat? I finished my meal and was waiting to watch the game in the military academy in the afternoon." Afternoon laughed and walked forward and said, Xu Yu is highly respected among the nobles, even if it is When Zhengde saw him, he had to be polite.

"Haha, your majesty is just right. Since you have already eaten, how about letting your majesty take over the work of the old minister and inspect the venue?" I am afraid that Xu Chu is the only one in the entire military academy who dares to assign tasks to Zhengde. It is what Zhu Houzhao likes most about Xu Yu, because being able to personally participate in the military academy's daily activities will give Zhengde a sense of accomplishment, and this sense of accomplishment even makes him happier than Daming's victory in foreign battles. This is what Zhengde likes. One of the reasons for coming to military school.

"Just go to eat, old man, I will help you check the competition venue, but the old man must allow me to participate in this afternoon's riding and archery competition, no matter whether I win or lose, I will be very happy!" Zhu Houzhao also agreed with a smile , and he also made his own demands.

"No problem, but your majesty must be the last one when riding and shooting, otherwise the previous competitors will not dare to surpass your majesty's results, and this kind of competition will be meaningless." Xu Yu smiled again at this time .

"Okay! I also want to see the real results of the instructors and students in the military academy. Then I want to see how many people are better than me in riding and shooting!" Zhengde also said with a face of reluctance. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, so he is naturally very proficient in riding and archery. Among other things, the commander of Jinyiwei, Qian Ning, is very good at riding and archery. However, he lost nine out of ten matches against Zhengde. He does not believe that people in the military academy will compete for money. Ning is good at riding and shooting.

Regarding Zhengde's self-confidence, Xu Wei smiled slightly, and did not directly refute. He has also seen Zhengde's so-called riding and archery skills. It is difficult to produce real masters, and only after being baptized on the battlefield can some real marksmen be produced.Therefore, although Zhengde's riding and archery skills can be called a good one, compared with the masters in the army, it is still a lot worse. For example, among the instructors, there are many generals from the frontier army. It is not comparable to a rookie on the battlefield like Zhengde.

When Xu Yu went to the cafeteria to eat, Zhengde inspected the competition venue himself. In fact, there was nothing to inspect. He just checked whether there were any potholes on the horse's running track, whether the archery target was solid, etc. These were trivial matters. In the beginning, ordinary instructors would only need to inspect the trivial matters, but since Xu Yu became the school supervisor, he put all his efforts on the military academy, and he had to look over every detail before he could rest assured.

After Zhengde inspected the arena, Xu Yu finally came back from dinner. After Zhengde told him about some minor problems on the arena, Xu Chu immediately ordered someone to rectify them.At this time, Zhengde smiled and said: "Old Duke, why did the military academy suddenly think of holding a riding and archery competition today?"
