: Showing the power of the martial arts

There is a big competition outside Ningwu Pass City, which has always been a place where the officers and soldiers of the town are inspecting and practicing. As the top part of a town, the officers and soldiers of the town often perform here, so the venue is naturally very large, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of officers and soldiers to arrange troops at the same time.

At this time, the flags on the field were already like clouds, with densely packed officers and soldiers standing in a row, forming one square after another. Among these people, the four battalions of soldiers stationed in the city, the guards of Ningwu Pass, the Huoludun guards from all over the place, and the two thousand servants brought by Huang Laifu, all of them stood here. They said that there were more than 10,000 people, and there were no boundaries. Looking at them, there were black heads on the field.

In addition to these official troops, the field was also filled with Ningwuguan people who were watching the fun from all over the place. There were townsmen in the city and people on all sides, and they squeezed around the field so much that they were all looking at the middle of the field with excited and curious eyes. It was rare that such opportunities were not available every day.

On the high platform of the Martial Arts Hall on the court, there were officials of Ningwu Pass all over the world, including Huang Laifu, Eunuch Ma, Governor Yang, Liu Bingbei and others, as well as the military generals from various places who came to Zhencheng to pay homage to Huang Laifu. In addition, on both sides of the Martial Arts Hall, there were densely packed flag bearers of the personal guards, and the yellow-shaped flags floated high.

Standing on the platform, Huang Laifu pressed his sword and looked around, feeling surged. Ma Jiuying's father-in-law was wearing armor and stood proudly beside him. Only Governor Yang, Liu Bingbei and other civil servants from Ningwu Pass were very bad, and there were also foreign military generals next to him, who also looked unnaturally and frequently looked to the right side of the field.

The loose military preparations are like children's play, and are fully reflected in the former officers and soldiers of Zhencheng.

There were originally four battalions of soldiers in the town, one battalion of the former general general Liu Ming'an, one battalion of the governor Yang Fangluo, and two battalions of scattered soldiers. These people were all battalions of soldiers who received the salary, and they didn't know how much food and salary would be consumed every year. Not only did the scattered soldiers of the two battalions have not been well-organized, but many of them were old and weak, and the weapons they held were mostly rusted.

Even the two battalions of model soldiers, although they were mostly young and strong and had a neat armor, were lax in such serious occasions, and the arrangements were sparse. In order to make the current general Huang Laifu fall in love with him, the model soldiers of the former general Liu Quanli tried their best to stand up and look majestic under the constraints of the general Liu Quanli. However, in the model soldiers of the governor Yang Fangluo, everyone was laughing at the first battalion, without any military appearance.

As for the guards next to them, it was even worse. Originally, these guards had become professional military farming soldiers, and they had rarely been in practice for decades. The food and salary were insufficient, and the young and strong fled. Therefore, behind the commander Sun Zhiyou of Ningwu Pass, there were only less than 2,000 guards and officers and soldiers, who were originally 5,600, now there were less than 2,000 soldiers, but they were all ragged military uniforms, and most of them were old, weak and disabled soldiers.

On the other hand, the two thousand servants brought by Huang Laifu can be called the real elite soldiers! Everyone is surprisingly young, tall and strong, wearing refined iron armor, and the weapons in their hands are also bright, with a majestic and powerful expression, full of the evil spirit after the bloody battle. Especially since they were disciplined, they stood still after lined up, like the woods.

Their arrays were all straight in any direction, which shocked the people around them. Only then did they understand what the orders were to be enforced and what the soldiers looked like.

Not to mention the guards next to them, but also some battalions, all looked at the soldiers from Wuzhai Fort with envy and fear. Even Governor Yang and others on the platform, they felt mixed feelings and felt very uncomfortable.

After the army brought by Huang Laifu arrived in Ningwu Pass, he stayed in the barracks and did not come out. Governor Yang did not see it that day. He proudly thought that his soldiers were the leader of a town and had the capital to run rampant in front of Huang Laifu. Unexpectedly, compared with the servants brought by Huang Laifu, it was far worse. This made him feel very disappointed.

They were the foreign fort generals on the stage. They originally thought that the model soldiers in the town were indeed elite compared to the soldiers in their military fortress, and they deserved to be the army of the town. However, after seeing Huang Laifu's army again, they deeply understood the meaning of the elite. They also understood the reason why Huang Laifu rose like a meteor.

The people watching outside the venue also saw this. They were originally in the town and did not understand the surrounding situation. They were always proud of the model soldiers in the town. Only then did they feel that they were wrong before, and that the men under Huang Junmen were the real military officials. Everyone was talking and sighing.

Huang Laifu smiled slightly and waved his hand. The yellow flag, red flag, black flag, green flag and white flag on the platform were raised at the same time. The scene slowly calmed down. Huang Laifu waved his hand again, and the flag bearer on the platform waved the flag. The Wuzhaibao army immediately changed its formation and formation. Whether the flag was raised on the platform or the golden drum was playing, it was not at all confusing.

The battalions below the stage were in a hurry and walked around. Some people went east and some people went west. The formation that was barely formed was a mess after a while. As for the guards, they stood blankly and had not practiced for many years, so they could not understand the flag on the stage.

The people around laughed and pointed at each other. Huang Laifu shook his head slightly. Governor Yang on the stage looked ugly, and Liu Bingbei also had a pale face. Only then did he realize how bad his army was and how good Huang Laifu's army was indeed not said. However, on the stage, Governor Yang's model camp under the stage did not agree with it, and his expression was still there. They also thought that the people's laughter was a compliment to them, and they were all proud.

Only General Liu Quanli and the former general model soldiers were sweating profusely. It would be better for Huang Junmen to not be disappointed in themselves when they were so ugly. They really wanted to defect to their new master Huang Laifu.

Soon, the yellow flags, red flags, black flags, green flags and white flags on the high platform were all raised at the same time. Immediately, the Wuzhai Fort army returned to its original solemn formation. It was not until a long time since the battalions and guards beside them calmed down. After moving for a long time, their formation became even more chaotic.

At this time, a strong horse ran out of the stage. A red-taxed phoenix winged officer rolled down from his saddle and knelt on one knee on the ground, and reported loudly to the stage: "Military Gate, Governor, the soldiers have already lined up, please read it!"

This person is Yang Xiaolu, a ginseng general in Wuzhaibao!

Huang Laifu smiled at Governor Yang, and Ma Jiuying said justice: "Please, sirs!"

With a cannon, the surrounding area became quiet.

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and everyone who came down from the high platform rode on horses and inspected more than 10,000 soldiers in the competition!

Huang Laifu was wearing refined iron armor, an eight-petal hat and an iron-pointed helmet, a big red cloak tied on his body, and rode a tall horse. Beside him were Ma Jiuying and Governor Yang. Behind the three were Liu Bingbei and a group of military generals, and behind them were some civil servants following Ningwu Pass.

The horses walked together, and there were dense arrays of officers and soldiers on the field, and each of them slowly walked past each array.

Governor Yang and others didn't pay much attention to the local battalions and guards of Ningwu Pass. Their eyes looked at the formation of the Wuzhai Fort army. The more they went there, the more murderous aura was in the air. Especially when they got closer, the eyes of the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort were afraid to look at them!

This pressure made Governor Yang and Liu Bingbei pale, and many local civil servants even slapped the sweat on their foreheads from time to time.

However, when the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort saw Huang Laifu's evil eyes, they turned into a look of respect and worship. Looking at the army he created in front of him, Huang Laifu felt a sense of self. He suddenly pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and shouted: "Wan Sheng!"

"Thousand Victories! Thousand Victories!"

The soldiers of Wuzhai Fort drew out their weapons and shouted loudly, and their voices shook the whole field!

Their voices led the surrounding camps, soldiers and guards, and the people around them to cheer involuntarily. The sound of "Wan Sheng" became louder and louder, one wave higher and one wave, resounding throughout Ningwu City.

The sound of the overwhelming sound was so shocking that not to mention the trembling legs of the civil servants, even Governor Yang and Liu Bingbei were even pale!

After Huang Laifu's interview, the people of Ningwu Pass talked about it for many days, even Governor Yang, Liu Bingbei and other civil servants also calmed down a lot. Everyone was in awe and polite to Huang Laifu.

In the following days, there were many more visiting people in the General's Mansion. In addition to some local civil servants and generals, many were merchants, and all kinds of gifts were sent to the General's Mansion. Huang Laifu accepted them one by one. This was actually a normal way of wealth during the Ming Dynasty.

The official salary of the Ming Dynasty has always been meager. Even the ministers with second-rank official titles in each department had a salary of only 152 taels throughout the year. If they wanted to maintain a luxurious life, they could not maintain a mere salary.

Therefore, the main income of Ming officials is generally based on the filial piety and gifts of merchants and officials. Every year, the gifts or gifts received by the governors and governors of various provinces are ten or even hundreds of times their annual salary. This gray income was reasonable and legal at the time, and Huang Laifu did not want to show his aloofness. If he wanted to change this era, he must first integrate into this era. Therefore, he enjoyed the money and goods given by everyone.

The military generals from all over the country have returned with awe and satisfaction, and Huang Laifu has also gained his own understanding of the local situation and it is time to do a good job.

So now Huang Laifu, after rewarding some silver, all the general soldiers of Ningwuguanyuan who had withdrawn from the General's Mansion, selected 300 clans from the Laifu camp he brought as the escort of the general's mansion. Before he came to Ningwu Pass, he had named the private soldiers' camps around him as Laifu Camp, the lion of the flag. The troops left behind in Wuzhai Fort were named Wuzhai Fort Wuzhai Fort, and the soldiers of the old camp still continued to be named Zhenlu Camp.

Regarding Huang Laifu's decision, none of these original model soldiers dared to say anything. They naturally knew that they could not compare with Laifu Camp, and they were not on the same level in terms of closeness or strength. They only hoped that Huang Laifu could accept them and make themselves one of Huang Laifu's direct descendants and have the treatment of the original model soldiers.

Huang Laifu naturally understood the thoughts of Liu Quanli and others. Therefore, on the third day after the operation, Huang Laifu ordered Yang Xiaolu to find Liu Quanli, and he had something to say to him.
