Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 101

"On the 2000th of April, the casino where Husun's second child in Jingjie lived was no less than 32 taels. There were [-] eunuchs in green robes and blue robes, and a general of the imperial guard at the general level. A total of [-] people entered. Bet."

On the road between Huwei Wuguan and Wang Tong's house, Wang Tong and Zou Yi said as they walked that this road is quiet and safe for ordinary people.

"There are quite a few people in the palace who like to gamble, and those who like a lively place are willing to play money outside the palace. It's not uncommon."

Zou Yi said indifferently, Wang Tong didn't answer, but continued:

"The South Street is just the place where the east side gate of the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City is facing. How many gates are there in the imperial city, how many similar places are there around here, and how many people will there be?"

Wang Tong's tone was also very calm, Zou Yi was silent for a while, and said in a low voice:
"Do you know anyone?"

"Except for Brother Zou and Eunuch Zhang, who else can Wang recognize?"

He replied jokingly, and the two of them took a few steps forward. Zou Yi flicked off a little foreign object on his cuff, and suddenly said with a smile:

"There is an eunuch in charge of the Shangshan Supervisor, and he is quite diligent in his work. Now your delicious restaurant is short of people, so you can ask him to help."

Seeing that Wang Tong was puzzled, Zou Yiyou added:
"The eunuch in charge has an advantage. The people in the palace are familiar. Don't look at so many people, as long as they meet once, he can report to work there. When Eunuch Feng first took over the supervisor of ceremonies, he specially took him to do the job. A follower, very convenient, this person is also diligent and honest, Brother Wang, if you want him to do anything else, just ask him to do it."

It is necessary to send someone who can identify the identity to help here. When the casino loses money again next time, it is necessary to invite this person to watch over it.

The two sides chatted casually for a while, and Zou Yi said that there were still some matters to be dealt with in the palace, so he left first. Wang Tong naturally knew that Zou Yi would go back and tell the relevant people about the situation he had inquired about.

From Wang Tong's point of view, Zou Yi is too cautious. Most of the time, there are only two of them, but they are so afraid that the walls have ears. They don't know that Zou Yi has long been cultivated to be careful in everything in such a treacherous and treacherous place like the palace. The truth is that confidential matters must be guarded with caution in order to be safe.

If you are careless, it will be too late to regret when the time comes and you will be killed.

When it was lunch time, according to the arrangement, the people from the Delicious Restaurant placed the prepared meals and tableware in the restaurant, and went to the nearby shop to close the door to rest.

Distributing lunch meals and so on are all teenagers working in shifts. Both the people in the palace and the instructors don't understand this. They think it's a lowly labor. Why let these officials' children do it, but Wang Tong Insist on keeping it.

Distributing meals seems like a small job, but it subtly cultivates people's ability to coordinate, manage and even cooperate. These people in the martial arts gym, whether it is Emperor Wanli or those young people, will inevitably lead others in the future. To be an official and general, these abilities are still necessary.

This understanding is related to some training in that life. It was useless to learn at that time, but now it is reasonable and interesting.

Emperor Wanli has eaten here for three days. The oil and water of the food is enough, not to mention the portion, but if the taste can be compared with the food made by the Imperial Dining Room, no one will believe it.

But this lively atmosphere of talking and laughing is easier to choose than the solemn and dignified appearance of more than a dozen people serving meals in the palace.

At first, everyone thought that Emperor Wanli was just trying to make a fresh picture, but who would have thought that after eating for a while, Emperor Wanli would fall in love with the atmosphere here.

According to Zou Yi, as soon as Mr. Zhang Ge finished his lecture, Emperor Wanli rushed to this side in a sedan chair, for fear of delaying the hour of eating with everyone, and now not only lunch, but also dinner is arranged here.

He even asked Zhang Cheng in private whether he could live with the teenagers at night. Zhang Cheng and Zou Yi were taken aback by the request. Shi, if such words are intended to be known by the Queen Mother, they will definitely be angered.

The training in the martial arts gym has included equipment. Every afternoon, they line up and walk around the playground twice, and then relax and run a few laps.

After completing these trainings, everyone held a long pole and trained under the orders of the instructors. The change of training subjects did not give the teenagers any freshness.

The spear of a hundred soldiers is the king, and the first weapon learned by the disciples of Jiangmen is the skill of spear and spear. Most of the teenagers started to practice when they were four or five years old.But what he learned in this martial arts hall was the basic skills, even what Wang Tong learned was much more than the courses in this martial arts hall.

Holding the long pole flat and stabbing out in neat movements, this is even more interesting than walking and running on the playground. The only person who is interested is Emperor Wanli, who has a great time practicing with a pole.

The class was boring, and it became even more lively during the intermission. It was really happy to have the delicious snacks brought by "Huang Yijun" from home, and this well-informed Wang Tong to talk endlessly.

At the beginning, when the relationship between everyone was not so good, they were more restrained, but now they are familiar with each other, not only listening, but also asking questions.

"When I was in Macau, I saw the drill of the Frangji's soldiers. Dozens of people armed with firecrackers lined up in a row, commanded by their officer's password, and took turns to bombard them. The power is infinite..."

When Wang Tongcai said this, someone below interrupted and said with a smile:

"Lieutenant Wang, what is the power of this firecracker? In Ji Town, we have the most powerful cannon. This firecracker is generally not used in field battles. If it is a good weapon for hitting people from a distance, this bow and arrow is the best."

What he said, everyone below responded, everyone was born in the general family, and this is what they usually hear and see. When it comes to this topic, everyone becomes interested, and the teenagers all come forward to speak.

"It takes too much effort to fire the gunpowder charge. With this time, three arrows can be shot out quickly!"

"That's right, I heard from my uncle that a leader under Al Da Khan led more than 2000 cavalry into the bandits. At that time, a guerrilla was sent to fight. As a result, more than 3000 people with firearms were washed away by the Tartars... .”

There was a lot of discussion below, and Wang Tong asked with a smile:

"If the firearms of more than 3000 people fired in turn, they would be able to continue uninterrupted. How could they be washed away?"

There was another burst of laughter, the teenagers listened to their father and brother talking a lot, and Sun Xin, who was eating snacks first, said with a smile:

"The firearms of more than 3000 people, I am afraid that the opponent's cavalry has ping-pong before they approach. When the Tartars ride up to the front, everyone's firearm pipes are red, and the medicine can't be loaded. At this time, the timid ones have already turned around. Run, whoever dares to stay where they are, and when they come to the front, a round of arrows will be shot down, and no one can hold on."

"That's right, that's right, even if you can hold on to the confrontation, half of the firecrackers on your side can't shoot. If you shoot one round, the other side can shoot at least three arrows..."

"Your Jingshi's firecrackers can still fire half of them. It's not bragging. Our Xuanfu can fire up to [-]% of them. When we fire, we have to blow up at least one. Everyone would rather charge with a knife and ax than hold it. Let this thing go."

The teenagers were talking about it as knowledge and jokes, and didn't feel that it represented anything at all, but the one from Jizhen kept silent, and only then interjected:

"Our firearms in Ji Town can at least be fired 400% of the time. That time when the Tatars of the Alta tribe came in, more than [-] riders were killed by firearms, and the rest ran away."

Speaking of this, someone below booed and said:

"Who can compare with you in Ji Town? Marshal Qi is in charge there. I heard from my father that the firecrackers on your side are all followed by a knife and axeman. If you put them indiscriminately, you will be killed, and if you are wronged, you will be killed..."

What the teenagers said was told to them by their fathers, brothers and elders. Although there were some exaggerations in it, after Wang Tong heard it, his heart was heavy. He turned to look at Emperor Wanli. .

Wang Tong raised his voice again, and said loudly:

"Everyone, if the firecracker doesn't fire, it's because it's not made well. If we have a good firecracker, with enough ammunition, accurate shooting, enough bows and arrows, and the two sides match up, who will win and who will lose?"

"Naturally, the bow and arrow won! As soon as we met, the firecracker was shot to death!"

"What if ten people are against ten people, or a hundred people are against a hundred people?"

The teenagers froze for a moment, all showing thoughtful expressions, this time it was Li Tao who spoke first, he analyzed hesitantly and said:

"If you really want to fight each other, the best archer can shoot eleven arrows at a time. If you shoot at the shoulder and arm, you can't bear it. At least you have to rest for more than an hour. You don't need the firecracker... you have to be in the battle formation. Among them, it’s hard to say.”

Li Tao's analysis has gone a little deeper. Some of the teenagers were impatient, while others were thinking about it. When they were about to continue talking, the break time was over. The instructors entered the playground and yelled to gather. Everyone got up quickly. Running over there, Emperor Wanli walked unhappily, with a pensive look on his face.

This time, it was Li Hu who grabbed Wang Tong by the head, and asked curiously:
"Brother Wang, why can't we fire so many firecrackers?"

"If you don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes, who will make it with heart, but it has nothing to do with them if the things they make don't ring. Regardless of this, there is nothing wrong with it, so who will make it well."

Hearing this, Emperor Wanli, who was walking not far ahead, looked back, and then turned his head away again.

Seeing the emperor's reaction, Wang Tong rubbed his forehead, thinking it was just a chat between classes, but he seemed to have done something very remarkable.

*****
Nothing happened in the afternoon, and in the evening, Zhang Shiqiang and Wang Tong reported something:
"The Shopkeeper Xia in the Zhenxing Building seemed to have encountered something in the afternoon. He was in a hurry and his face was particularly ugly."
