Chapter 16 Seeking Generals (1)

When Zhang Gongri came to the schoolyard in a sedan chair, the first drum sound had stopped, and the second drum sounded immediately. A thousand people came to the entire schoolyard, spreading sparsely around, whispering to each other, and couldn't figure out why the camp beat the drums on the hot noon.

A middle-aged man with no need to look on his face panic and climbed to the school yard. When he saw Zhang Gongri, his eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "Marty, what happened? Why did he beat the drum?"

The middle-aged man was Han Zanzhou, the former garrison eunuch in Nanjing. Like Lu Jiude, he made great contributions when King Fu ascended the throne. After King Fu ascended the throne, he was appointed as the supervisor of the 60,000 imperial guards in the Beijing camp. When the drum sounded, he happened to be near the school ground, so he arrived earlier than other generals.

Zhang Gongri quickly whispered: "Mr. Supervisor, the emperor is here."

"Emperor." Han Zanzhou was shocked and followed Zhang Gongri's gaze. He naturally knew the emperor. Seeing that the emperor was really here, he did not care about being surprised, and hurried to Wang Fu's side, and bowed to him: "I will meet the emperor."

Han Zanzhou knew the emperor, but Wang Fu did not know him. However, Wang Fu had already made some preparations before coming. He knew that the eunuch of the Beijing Army Supervisor was named Han Zanzhou. However, Wang Fu was afraid of admitting his mistake, so he nodded and said vaguely: "Your dear will be free."

After the second drum sounded, the number of people on the school ground gradually increased, and many Dusi and guerrilla generals on the stage came one after another. When they heard that the emperor was coming to inspect the three armies in person, they were all stunned and quickly paid homage to the emperor.

"Dong, dong, dong." The last three-way drum sounded and stopped. The school ground was filled with soldiers. So many soldiers stood together. Logically, the school ground should have a sense of terrifying aura, but many soldiers stood crookedly. Because they rushed too fast, some soldiers did not even carry weapons, just like a group of sheep. Although there were many, there was no danger at all.

Wang Fu looked at the generals and looked sarcastic on his face: "You guys are the good soldiers."

All the officers lowered their heads, and today they were all disgraced. But the emperor came to check it out personally. They couldn't even bribe them as usual. They could only hope that the emperor would not blame the public for their law.

"Zhang Aiqing, let them practice and show me."

"Yes." Zhang Gongri had a bitter face, just standing like this. He didn't know how much ugly it would be when he practiced, but he couldn't tolerate delaying it. He gritted his teeth and passed the order down. The drum sound that had just stopped sounded again, but the drum sound was no longer as fast as when he was playing the army just now, but became short and majestic.

As soon as the drum sounded, some soldiers stood in a daze, some soldiers were inseparable from left to right, and when they turned, they collided together. The entire school ground was in chaos, and only a team of people in the northeast corner practiced in a straightforward manner. Hundreds of people were in a uniform manner, which was particularly conspicuous in the entire chaotic school ground.

Wang Fu couldn't help but ask Zhang Gongri: "Who is the one who led that team?"

Zhang Gongri didn't care about the soldiers' training at all, so he didn't know who led the troops. He had to honestly say: "The emperor forgives the crime, and I don't know who it is. I will send someone to ask immediately."

Wang Fu didn't even know whether he should be angry or not, so he waved his hand helplessly: "You go."

Zhang Gongri was about to go down, and Han Zanzhou said unexpectedly: "Your Majesty, I know this team of people, and they are still subordinates of the garrison general Yang Lin."

"Yang Lin, send him up."

At this time, there was no need to continue the exercise, and the drums stopped. After a while, a young man in his twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes came to the stage, and under the guidance of the guard, he came to Wang Fu and knelt down: "See the emperor, long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Wang Fu looked at the young man in front of him carefully. Yang Lin was covered in armor, his hands were thick and powerful, and his back was strong. Even if he was kneeling on the ground, he still felt the awe-inspiring and powerful military temperament on his body.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Lin stood up and stood respectfully with his hands down. When he was together, he could see that Yang Lin was tall.

"Yang Aiqing has made great contributions to training troops. I have received many rewards. Yang Lin was promoted to guerrilla general, rewarding 100 taels of silver and 10 pieces of satin. I hope I will continue to work hard and train the elite soldiers for my Ming Dynasty."

Although it is only one step away from the garrison to the guerrilla general, many officers cannot overcome this hurdle in their lifetime. At this time, the officers on the stage were all guerrilla generals or above. When they heard the emperor's will, they all looked at Yang Lin with envy and jealous eyes. Yang Lin was not sociable, and naturally there were not many friends in the army. Unexpectedly, he was lucky and was promoted to guerrilla with one exercise. Such a young guerrilla general is rare even in the Beijing camp.

"I thanked the emperor for my humble position. Long live the emperor! Long live! Long live!" Yang Lin was also very happy. As a general, who would not want to have a higher position and lead more people? If he was promoted according to normal, with Yang Lin's independent specialty and would not bribe his superiors, he would probably end up guarding for the rest of his life.

Until he was flattened again, Yang Lin was still dizzy. He was confused about today's sudden exercises. He just practiced his subordinates in the exercises. Unexpectedly, it was the emperor who came to watch the exercises in person, and he was promoted to the next level at once.

"Everyone, my Ming Dynasty has established nearly 300 countries. I have experienced the current predicament. The previous emperor was killed and the court was newly established. There were Qing barbarians outside, and the bandits were eyeing each other, and there were literary and military plays inside. If we continue, the country will be destroyed for a long time. Do you all want to be the ministers who destroyed the country?"

The emperor's words were extremely heavy, and everyone on the stage knelt down: "I am guilty, please punish me."

"I won't punish you this time. I will watch the food again after March. If the Beijing camp is still like this, I might as well disband all the 60,000 military camps to save all the waste." After saying that, Wang Fu took his guards away, leaving only a group of people looking at each other on the stage.

After a while, Longping Hou Zhang Gongri got up from the ground, and then Han Zanzhou and others also stood up one after another. Everyone's faces were filled with frustration. Even Yang Lin was infected by this and showed no sign of happiness.

"Marty, some soldiers have fainted. Should they stop acting?" asked a general.

Looking at the crooked soldiers on the school ground, Zhang Gongri felt a sense of evil fire: "Stop what, continue to perform, stop for an hour."

Looking at the vicious sun on his head, the ginseng general complained secretly, asking the soldiers to play him without any objection. The key is that there are not many hidden places on the stage, and they can't stand such suffering: "Marty, what if someone dies?"

"If you die, drag it down and bury it. This marquis doesn't need waste, Yang Lin."

"The last one will be there."

"You will supervise it. Anyone who is lazy will drag it out and blames twenty boards."

"Yes, the last general will obey the order." Yang Lin stood up with great strides, and the generals immediately complained, asking this young man to supervise, wouldn't they have to stand on the school ground and be exposed?
