Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 537 Skills on the battlefield
Standing among the soldiers escorting him, Wu Er was half a head taller than the people around him, which was really tall, perhaps slightly taller than the tallest Ma Sanbiao.

It was approaching May, and Wu Er and his nephews were all wearing single shirts. The three young men could see the muscles in their arms, which were quite stocky. On the contrary, Wu Er couldn't see any flesh, but it made people feel robust.

"The four of the Wu family didn't suffer!"

Wang Tong said something with a smile, and Tan Jian beside him replied:
"The master ordered at that time that Wu Da was on business outside, so he must not treat his family badly, so he was confined in the yard and was not allowed to come out. Food, drink and support were treated according to the treatment of military members. According to the soldiers guarding him, he was a little irritable at first, but later he became honest. The female relatives are nestled by themselves, the men, the old and the weak, and the children rest, and the rest are struggling all day long."

Wang Tong nodded, lowered his head and asked:
"Wu Er, you said that you are proficient in horse gait, and you were escorted here just now, why didn't you escape during this journey, there must be an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

"...Master was joking, it's not like he didn't escape, even if he overturned a few, what about the little nephews, what about the family members in the yard..."

At this time, Tan Jian joked with a smile:
"Second Wu, don't be arrogant in front of the master. The general who guarded you just now said that you came to Tianjin Wei and ran three times, but you were chased back and whipped, and your nephew was beaten, and your family was also starved. Complain, this will stop, right!"

Being scolded by Tan Jian like this, Wu Er felt that he couldn't hold back his face, and knew that people should bow their heads under the eaves, but Wang Tong looked up and down the wooden platform, and he couldn't be looked down upon by others. He didn't have a good future, so he replied in a rough voice:
"This military master, Wu is unarmed, and the officials use cavalry. How can they fight alone? If it is really a face-to-face fight, who will be afraid!"

Wang Tong also smiled, and said:
"How are your three nephews compared to you? Can they beat you?"

"I can't beat them. The three of them have only seen blood a few times. Even if they stand shoulder to shoulder, they are not opponents of villains!"

Wang Tong shook his body, jumped off the wooden platform, raised his voice and said:

"Here are the two sets of bamboo armor and wooden soldiers used in the drill, I will compete with this Wu Er!"

Just as the people on the side wanted to persuade, Wang Tong waved his hand and said:

"Bamboo armor and wooden soldiers can't hurt anyone, so don't worry, Wu Er, I'm stronger than those soldiers on the school field, but I can't compare to the general who brought you here. You and I will decide whether to win or lose, and then decide to give you Where to arrange it!"

This makes it clear that he wants to see Wu Er's ability before deciding to appoint him. Wu Er was stunned, clasped his fists and said in a rough voice:

"Then offend the great master!"

Both sides put on bamboo armor and picked up wooden knives and wooden shields. The bamboo armors were all made of bamboo strips, and the wooden knives were similar to short sticks. After Wu Er took the wooden knives and wooden shields, he shook the shields and said:
"Please come over with another wooden knife."

Wang Tong's personal guard at the side handed over the wooden knife, thinking that the wooden knife was not in his hand, but he didn't expect that Wu Er lost his shield and replaced it with a knife.

Wu Er swung his swords, which was really flexible. Using double swords was much more complicated than using a sword and shield. His three nephews looked excited, but General Tan and the others looked at each other, but they didn't take it seriously.

Wang Tong also shook his head and said to himself:
"Ability in the world is of no use."

The two sides stretched out their knives and touched each other, and each took three steps back to start. After three steps back, Wu Er's swords danced like a windmill, which looked very good, while Wang Tong strode closer with his shield in front of him.

Seeing Wang Tong approaching, the knife in Wu Er's left hand flickered, and the knife in his right hand slashed straight down. If he was attracted by the movement of his left hand, his right hand would be able to succeed. Taking a sudden step, the shield flicked outwards, and the knife in his right hand stabbed out.

As soon as the shield was lifted, Wu Er's wooden knife immediately slashed on the wooden shield, but the knife in his right hand hurriedly blocked the top of the wooden shield. There was a gap between his chest and abdomen, and Wang Tong's wooden knife was poking at the side of the lower abdomen. That place was a weak point, after being poked, Wu Erlian took a few steps back, sat on the ground all of a sudden, dropped both knives, and couldn't breathe for a long time.

Wang Tong's personal guards looked disdainful, and the Tan family's generals took it for granted, but the three juniors of the Wu family's eyes widened, as if they had seen something incredible.

"Master is a famous kung fu master. He practiced solidly, and he was tossed out of life and death on the battlefield. There is nothing superfluous. Wu Er has been a thieves for a long time. He has some skills, but they are flashy and bluffing. But With his ability, he can be regarded as a strong player in private fights among the people."

Tan Jiang commented in a deep voice, and everyone around nodded.

The two changed their long sticks again to compete as long soldiers. Wu Er jumped up and down, using the long sticks in his hands in sweeping and chopping movements, but they couldn't get close to Wang Tong at all. Once the two sides approached, Wang Tong Just take a step forward and thrust out with both arms, even if Wu Er moves nimbly and doesn't get hit, he still can't get close to him.

After going back and forth like this a few times, Wang Tong found a gap again and fell to the ground with a stick. Not to mention when it was time to fight on horseback, Wang Tong who was rushed up directly stabbed off the horse. The wooden board was stuffed with cotton clothes, so it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, but it was so painful that I couldn't stand up.

Wang Tong took off his bamboo armor, and the soldiers beside him handed over towels. After wiping off his sweat, he looked at Wu Er who had sat up with a smile, and asked:
"How do you feel about yourself?"

Wu Er was able to stand up at this time, but his mood was extremely depressed, he sat there with his head bowed, and when he heard Wang Tong's question, he didn't know how to answer, so he just bowed his head.

"You are all like this, and your three nephews must also look like this. First practice for a while in the official's personal army, and change those habits before using them."

With the result of the competition, what else did Wu Erna have to say, Wang Tong ignored it, and walked to the outside of the court on his own, Tan Jian, who was in charge of the personal army team, led the four members of the Wu family to lead the weapons and start today During the formal training, General Tan followed up and said:
"Master Yu and Lord Qi have both said that on the battlefield, it is nothing more than stabbing with a gun and looking at it with a knife. Jumping is the reason for death..."

Wang Tong shook his head and said with a smile:

"Wu Er's skill is fancy, but he still has a bit of bravery. It may not be useful on the battlefield. But after entering the city, he can climb over the wall and enter the house, and hide and track in the field. He is qualified as a scout. This favor is still to be given to him.”

After saying a few words, Wang Tong laughed at himself again:
"The soldiers and horses in all parts of the Ming Dynasty are the strongest personal soldiers, but my personal soldier team is a school, and there are all kinds of people."

It turns out that Wang Tong's personal army is rotated by each battalion, and the first battalion is the main one. Now each battalion rotates a part, and the stable ones are the second-generation children in Wang Tong's system, and Wu Er, who is capable but Characters not suitable for military formations.

"Go to the wooden house, wait for Hutou and the others to come over and discuss the training of the firecrackers and spearmen together, and the artillery team and the cavalry team should also cooperate..."

While talking, I heard someone shouting at the gate of the camp:

"Master, master, there is something urgent!!"

A person in uniform who was the shopkeeper of a commercial firm waved his hand at the gate of the camp and shouted that the barracks is an important place, so you can't enter without permission. There are guards stopping there, and some people come to report. Hearing that the Sanjiang Commercial Company has an urgent report, Wang Tong is also a little puzzled. , went to the camp gate and asked:
"What is it!?"

The shopkeeper recognized Wang Tong, lowered his voice and said in a low voice:
"My lord, a fleet in Qingzhou, Shandong was robbed by pirates. Their family has invested 5 taels of silver in the insurance bank, and they are pestering the insurance bank to pay the money!"

The point of the talk was that someone encountered pirates at sea, and the insurance company wanted to compensate the money, but what Wang Tong heard was the pirates. The Sanshui Wang Shen Wang also had an industry in Tianjin Wei, and he also bought shares in the insurance company. , The ship that came to Tianjin Wei was robbed by pirates?

"This cake is mixed with pine nuts and dried fruits, and the layers are crispy. It's really delicious!"

Emperor Wanli picked up a piece of dim sum on a silver plate in the imperial study room, put it in his mouth, savored it carefully, then served it with tea, nodded comfortably, and said with a smile:

"I don't know if the western dim sum made by the imperial dining room is the taste made by Wang Tong's method. Xiao Liang, I will give you a few pieces, and I will give it to Zhang Banban, so we can taste it together."

The waiter Zhao Jinliang quickly kowtowed to thank him, put a few pieces on a small porcelain plate, and gave it to Zhang Cheng, and took a few bites himself. The young man liked sweets, and although he was respectful, he still ate with a smile on his face.

The eunuch Zhang Cheng, the supervisor of ceremonies, was much more upright. He also thanked En, put the porcelain plate aside, and said with a smile:
"Long Live Lord, Wang Tong's memorial said that he is arranging for people and Fanren to learn. After learning, come here to make authentic Fanren dim sum for Long Live Lord."

Emperor Wanli smiled all over his face and said:
"Wang Tong is also doing his best, and Zhang Banban continues to read, continue to read!"

With a little helplessness on Zhang Cheng's face, he held a memorial and recited:
"Zhao Shiqing, the head of the Nanjing Military Department, played Chen Kuang's five important points, one is to ask for a large amount of scholarship, and the other is to widen the ban on post biography..."

The memorial said, please widen the amount of scholars, widen the ban on post-transmission, reduce the death penalty, impose excessive taxes and oppressive forces, and cannot punish the crime of officials, and please release Fu Yingzhen and Ai Mu who were demoted and exiled for seizing love , Shen Sixiao, Zou Yuanbiao and others.

What the memorial says is normal, but since Zhang Juzheng was the chief assistant of the cabinet and took charge of the country, several major policies have been implemented, that is, no more than 15 scholars can be selected from the county school; Ma; the number of people who will be sentenced to death is fixed every year; local officials levy [-]% of the tax as a benchmark, and those who fail to reach it must be punished, and those who disobey him will be severely punished without mercy.

Zhang Juzheng was the head of the civil servants, and he also controlled the officials Qingliu. He often discussed government affairs under his instruction, admonished the Emperor Wanli, and criticized Wanli's cronies.

Now, the officials and Qingliu have the signs of fighting with the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, and the Emperor Wanli is naturally overjoyed...
