Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 687 God's Archer

  The truth, Zhu Houzhao understands it all.

  He is not a fool after all.

  And the words of apprentice Zhang Yuanxi are simple and straightforward, nothing more than telling him not to stick to the formality.

  For a beginner, how to hold the bow and how to stretch the arms, these rigid requirements are really useful, which allows beginners to quickly master the tricks and stand firm.

  But if it has been like this, it will be very difficult to become a real archery master.

   But the most annoying thing is that Zhang Yuanxi's talent for archery is really terrifying.

  Not only is he strong, but he also has outstanding comprehension of archery.

  He soon realized that what Master taught was correct, but he didn't need it.

  Because the method of archery and aiming is for beginners to master the balance.

   But Zhang Yuanxi does not need to master the balance, he is lame, he is a balanced body, and has a sensitivity that ordinary people do not have. He gradually discovered that it turned out that archery does not need to master any tricks, but lies in the control of one's own body.

  When he shot an arrow, he gradually became more and more accurate, and he began to have a new understanding.

  It turns out...all the textbooks are deceiving.

   Now, it's his turn to teach Zhu Houzhao how to break through his archery skills.

  Master's archery is too rigid in method, undisciplined, and too stupid. He still can't learn it after saying it a hundred times.

Zhu Houzhao yelled: "You are right. I know you are good at archery, but I picked up the bow and arrow, so I can't help but feel like I was when I first learned how to shoot... you bastard, how did you teach me to be a teacher? Quickly think of a way, think of a way to let you be a teacher and follow your heart."

   "I can't teach you." Zhang Yuanxi was about to cry.

  Sometimes, people compare themselves to others, which is really infuriating, and this person's talent is even more speechless.

  Ordinary scholars, ten years of hard work, concentrating on stereotyped writing, work hard, but, repeatedly fall out of students.

But Wang Shouren has been doing things since he was a child. Today he wants to learn riding and archery, and tomorrow he will go to an old Taoist to talk about Xuan. When he is old, he will slap his head, oops, I have to get a merit test, and then he will be named on the gold list and be among the best .

  Countless generals went through life and death, fought, lost more, won less, experienced a lot, wasted their lives, and survived. In life, there are hardly a few glorious victories. But Zhu Houzhao hid in the East Palace and pondered blindly. As soon as he came out of the mountain, he immediately defeated the fierce Tatars, so that the Tatars did not dare to look south.

  Jang Won-seok is the same.

He looked at his master with such a clumsy look, and he was already desperate: "Master, I don't think archery is suitable for you, you can change your career and learn swordsmanship, maybe it's better, otherwise, it's just wasting time in vain. "

  Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and said sharply, "I still need you to teach me what to do as a teacher, and I will punish you to kneel for an hour."

   "Oh." Zhang Yuanxi was very honest and knelt down obediently.

Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back and said angrily: "Look at how half of you are a son, no, you look like a student, and you speak rudely. Do you still think you are a teacher? Lao Fang has seven students, which one is not respectful to him?" If you are a god, what kind of attitude do you have? You don’t pay attention to the teacher. It’s unreasonable, it’s unreasonable. The teacher is blind and accepts you as a student. I won’t teach you how to learn archery in the future. You can understand it yourself. "

  Zhang Yuanxi said aggrievedly: "The student knows his mistake."

  Zhu Houzhao said loudly: "You don't change if you know your mistakes."

  Zhang Yuanxi said: "Student reform."

"My teacher said, I won't teach you how to learn archery, but you only say that you know your mistakes, but you don't say, please teach me, master. It can be seen that in your heart, you must not take me seriously. You are so angry that you are a teacher. If you die as a teacher, you can let yourself go, and no one will supervise you, right?"

"no."

   "Then tell me, my teacher scolded you, right?"

   "Yes. The teacher taught, and the students will remember it in their hearts."

   "Do you still want to learn archery?" Zhu Houzhao said angrily.

  Zhang Yuanxi hurriedly said: "Learn!"

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Okay, get up, come on, and tell me how to shoot the arrow."

Zhang Yuanxi got up with difficulty, and saw that the master began to bend the bow to lead the arrow again, and said beside him: "Master, archery comes from the heart, you don't always think about how to hold the bow, and you don't have to think about how to lead the arrow, you only see what you see." The target, you are thinking silently in your heart, how can I shoot him down, and then release the arrow."

  Chick...

  Zhu Houzhao took advantage of the situation and shot an arrow. The arrow drew a half-arc in the sky, and finally passed the target.

  Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he wanted to hit the wall: "This method is wrong, it is clearly wrong."

   "Master must have no distracting thoughts in his heart. Otherwise, the students will do another demonstration, and the master will watch carefully..."

   "No need." Zhu Houzhao threw the bow and arrow to the ground, unreasonable: "This is a problem with the bow. Let Liu Jin get a good bow tomorrow. Master has to think about it."

   "Oh." Zhang Yuanxi nodded.

Liu Jin was leaning against the tree, with one foot rooster standing alone, and the other foot tied behind and staring at the tree trunk, looking leisurely and leisurely. While eating the fried soybeans, he stared at them from a distance, chewing the soybeans, One after another, his face looked very peaceful, he only looked at His Royal Highness and Zhang Yuanxi from a distance, he didn't care about everything in front of him, what's the point of archery? Pointless? It's a waste of good time to waste on this archery.

  He chewed, swallowed the soybeans, and shook his head. People in the world are very pure and have not found the meaning of life. It is a pity to see them wasting their precious time like this.

   But seeing that His Highness had finished practicing the arrow, he immediately put the soybeans in his hand back into his purse, and trotted forward: "Your Highness, do you have any orders?"

   "Your Highness..."

  At this moment, Fang Jifan's voice was heard.

  Hearing this familiar voice, Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed: "Old Fang, you are here."

  Fang Jifan was out of breath: "It's really easy to find, I'm exhausted, Your Highness, how is my nephew's progress now?"

  Zhang Yuanxi was just about to speak, but Zhu Houzhao was beaming with joy and crossed his hands: "With Bengong here, how could there be no progress, just wait and see."

  Fang Jifan felt that the prince was unreliable, so he looked at Zhang Yuanxi.

Zhang Yuanxi said honestly: "Master Cheng Ri taught me how to learn archery, and now I have achieved a little success. But..." He paused: "The limit of a student is to shoot four hundred steps, and the usual two or three hundred steps fall backwards. It's okay, but if it is paired with an excellent bow, the four hundred steps is no problem, but it's a pity that after more than three hundred steps, the arrow may lose its aim, and the eyesight will not be able to see."

   Now you have found the right person.

  That’s right, Zhang Yuanxi’s greatest advantage lies in his long shot. Unfortunately, his arms did not hinder him from long shot, but human eyes have a limit after all.

   As for whether the shooting is accurate, it depends on practice, and a good bow with sufficient toughness and precision is also needed.

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth: "Insufficient precision is related to bows and arrows, and whether they can shoot farther is also related to bows and arrows. Uncle has summoned skilled craftsmen to customize a good bow for you in the past few days. Went in and got ten thousand taels of silver, and never frowned. Who told me to be your uncle, your father and I are friends of Wangnian."

   But the problem of vision cannot be solved by throwing money at it.

  Zhang Yuanxi is a genius, if such a person is not used, is Fang Jifan still human?

  Fang Jifan didn't just think about this competition, he thought about the future.

  A person like Zhang Yuanxi, if used well, is a strong man who kills devils eight hundred miles away. This kind of person only appears in TV dramas.

  Fang Jifan frowned: "I will think of a way, there will always be a way, or else, I will give you a deputy shooter."

   "Associate shooter?" Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Yuanxi asked in surprise at the same time.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "A deputy archer will carry the bow and arrow for you. Once you need to shoot an arrow, he will be responsible for providing you with the direction and position. You will be responsible for bending the bow and shooting the arrow. This person can wear a telescope and use the telescope to observe the data. A target a hundred paces away, and then accurately report the position, and you just concentrate on shooting towards the position. Of course, such a person is also rare, he needs a pair of good eyes, and is extremely sensitive to direction and distance, and can To provide accurate information, of course, you need to cooperate well with Yuanxi, the two sides must have a tacit understanding, the most important thing is that you have to work together, practice again and again, only in this way can you win hundreds of steps away .”

  Zhu Houzhao heard this, and couldn't help but be speechless.

   Isn’t this the auxiliary soldier?

   It turns out that you can also ask for auxiliary soldiers for archery.

  Obviously, Fang Jifan hopes to bring out Zhang Yuanxi's full potential. This guy is naturally a good material for archery.

   It's a sniper.

  It's a pity that the bow and arrow cannot be used with a telescope. In this case, Zhang Yuanxi has to be accompanied by one person.

The learning process in the future will definitely be very difficult, because Zhang Yuanxi's eyes must be replaced by the eyes that the auxiliary soldiers observe through the telescope, so that he can only simply provide data, and these data must be accurate, and accurate data must be accurate. Zhang Yuanxi needs to understand and digest, and at the same time, use these data to allow Zhang Yuanxi to roughly calculate the opponent's position accurately.

  And once the arrow is shot far away, the accuracy will be lower. The equipment these two people need may be extremely expensive. This cost may be able to support several village households.

   "You can give it a try." Zhang Yuanxi obviously felt that ordinary shooting was not a challenge, but Fang Jifan's method moved him.

  Zhu Houzhao sternly said: "Did you agree to it as a teacher? It's really unreasonable to make up your own mind."

  Zhang Yuanxi hurriedly said respectfully: "Master, please be the master."

  Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back and thought for a while: "You can give it a try."

  Fang Jifan nodded: "Since that's the case, then I will go to select the manpower, and then recruit people to customize bows and arrows. I'm afraid it will take at least several months. I'm afraid it's too late for this bet. Let's win the bet first."

  ...

  Sleep, start tomorrow...the fifth watch...or the sixth watch, anyway, the fifth watch is the base, everyone will wait and see.
