I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 74
Li Tian talked non-stop for half an hour, including a lot about Qi Jiguang's military training methods of the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang 100 years later.

Zheng He's expression was quite normal, but as for the other four people, they were already dumbfounded.

Is this the way to train soldiers?

This is the penalty of the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, Liu Zuocheng said with a dry voice:

"Your Majesty, this method of military training can train a brave and good fighter, but isn't it too hard?"

Li Tian pouted noncommittally, and directly pierced the window paper with a stick and said:

"Bitter? You want to say that building a barracks won't make the soldiers work so hard, tell the soldiers, I know it well."

Liu Zuocheng was punctured by what he was thinking, and smiled embarrassingly:
"It's only natural for the soldiers to serve His Majesty, how dare they bargain with His Majesty, the general is just worried that some soldiers can't stand this kind of training and secretly become deserters."

Li Tian didn't bother to talk to Liu Zuocheng, how difficult it was to get a military household registration, many veterans died in battle just to earn another military registration for their children and grandchildren, deserters?nonexistent.

Zheng He glanced at Liu Zuocheng with a smile on his face, stood up and cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, our family thinks that this method of military training does not need to be implemented in the army. It will not be too late for our family to go to the Five Armies Commander's Mansion to discuss with some generals and make up the detailed rules."

"That's the best." Li Tian nodded, gulped down his tea, and said with a slight expression:

"Uncle Bao, after you have perfected it, you don't need to show it to me. It will be implemented directly in my own army. If the general of any guard is unwilling, he will be exempted on the spot."

There are 26 guards in the emperor's own army, and the chief general of each guard is at least a fourth-rank general Xuanwei, and he can avoid a fourth-rank general. The emperor's favor and trust in Zheng He made Liu Zuocheng and others envious.

Aside from envy, Liu Zuocheng and the others also made up their minds to serve this uncle well in the future, because their official ranks are neither high nor low, and they happen to be from the fourth rank.

Zheng He did not refuse, he had taken charge of eight of the 26 personal guards, and the right to be dismissed was not too much of a favor for him.

"Your Majesty, would you like to give this method of military training a name?"

Zheng He suddenly cupped his hands and asked.

Give a name?

Li Tian smacked his lips, this thing seems to be interesting, he pondered a little and said:
"How about calling it the general outline of military training?"

"Straightforward and simple, easy to understand, this name is very good, our family will remember it."

The tour of the camp was over anyway, Li Tian didn't bother to sit still, so he got up and looked at Liu Zuocheng and the other generals and said:
"I came here on a whim. Although I am not very satisfied with your military ranks, it is still acceptable. After I return to the palace, you must not slack off. Remember to train hard."

"At the end of the day, I would like to obey the holy edict."

The emperor was finally leaving, Liu Zuocheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stood up to answer.

After leaving Longxiangwei's residence, looking at the bustling market not far away, Li Tian suddenly didn't want to go back to the palace.

After going back home and changing into casual clothes in the military camp, Li Tian looked at Zheng He and the other three who had also changed into casual clothes with interest, and said:

"I'm the host at noon today, how about inviting you to the Sea Lion Tower for dinner?"

Hearing the word Haishilou, Wang Fu's round eyes sparkled, and he licked his lips and said:
"Your Majesty, I heard that the price of vegetables at Sea Lion Restaurant is not cheap."

"Look at your gluttonous appearance, you really lose His Majesty." Jiang Bao didn't forget to change his shoes this time, he glanced at Wang Fu with his hands behind his back, and said sarcastically.

Wang Fu carefully glanced at Zheng He, seeing that Zheng He was indifferent, he hid behind Li Tian, ​​rolled his eyes and replied:

"Director Jiang didn't step on the cloud-climbing boots in the palace this time."

The last time Li Tian was seen through by Zhang Qinghuan, it was because of Jiang Bao's shoes. When Wang Fu mentioned this, Jiang Bao was immediately annoyed:
"Director Wang slept well yesterday, do you need to catch up on the duty room today?"

Seeing Jiang Bao and the two revealing each other's shortcomings, Li Tian shook his head and laughed helplessly, looked at Jiang Bao and said with a smile:

"A few days ago, when I went to pick up Wang Quan and Li Min at the Yantai Post Station, Wang Fuke said that you, Jiang Bao, would not be here for a while, so he wanted you too much."

"Is it true, Manager Wang?" Jiang Bao was not afraid of tickles, and asked Wang Fu while rubbing his hands on purpose.

"If you don't slap me with your Yinfeng Palm, it's true." Wang Fu still vividly remembered the scene of Jiang Bao cutting off Ji Mian's children and grandchildren with one palm.

Shiyongfang is in the west of the capital, while Sea Lion Tower is in Mingzhaofang in the east of the city.

It was too far to walk, so Li Tian simply called a carriage.

Along the way, Jiang Bao and Wang Fu were fighting each other, Li Tian and Zheng He both watched and laughed secretly, and this is the majestic head of the inner court.

Not long after, when they arrived at the Sea Lion Tower, the three of Zheng He also automatically changed their names, surrounded by Li Tian and walked in.

"Masters are here. There are seats in the lobby on the first floor and private rooms facing the street on the second floor. Where would you like to sit today?"

The acquainted Xiaoer greeted him with a smile on his face. He saw at a glance that Li Tian was the backbone of the group, so he bent over Li Tian and asked.

Wang Fu was full of bad humor, his face drooped, and he said in a bad tone:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Which eye of yours looks like my young master is sitting in the lobby?"

"Small eyes, little eyes." Hearing this, Xiao Er hurriedly slapped his face lightly to make amends, turned his head and yelled:

"Four distinguished guests from Pinqiu Pavilion."

After going up to the second floor and entering the private room, a maid in a tight pink dress came in to say hello with a menu in her hand.

Looking at the maid's handsome and delicate face, Li Tian clicked his tongue secretly, there is something in this sea lion building, such a handsome beauty can only be a waiter.

"My lords, this is today's menu, what would you like to eat?"

Today's menu?Hehe, it means that the menu of Sea Lion Restaurant still changes every day.

Taking the menu and glanced at it, Li Tian took a deep breath when he saw the dishes that cost only two taels of silver.If the family doesn't have a thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid they won't dare to order food when they come.

While Li Tian was flipping through the menu, the maid was secretly looking at the four of them.

Seeing that the three of Zheng He's chins were all bald, the maid thought that Li Tian and his party were from the Jianghu. After all, only people who walk in the Jianghu would not bother to take care of their beards.

Keeping in mind that this table may have a king's meal, the maid smiled and said:

"My lords, there is an Huakui song on the third floor today. If you are interested, you can go upstairs with 100 taels of silver each."

"How much money?" Li Tian dared not believe it.

"If you go back to your lord, you only need a mere 100 taels of silver." The maid cursed a bumpkin in her heart, and said with a smile on her face.

"It's done." Li Tian threw the menu on the table and said:
"Jiang Bao, give her 400 taels of silver, let's go upstairs and listen to Gu Meizhu's song."

As soon as Li Tian said this, the maid's expression changed immediately, and she stepped forward in two or three steps, twisting her waist and wishing to stick to Li Tian's body and said:

"My lord, it only takes 50 taels of silver to lead my slave's house upstairs to serve tea and water, rub my back and shoulders."
