Chapter 450.

People have inertia.

Even if it’s a million times worse at first.

But gradually, Zhu Gaoqi has also familiarized himself with the present life.

Of course, this has to do with the fact that he doesn’t have the luxury of an overly privileged life on a regular basis.

After all, his father was a great general, and he had always looked down on his children and grandchildren’s excessive extravagance and enjoyment.

Whether it is done to Zhu Di, or sincerely from the heart, Zhu Gaoqi’s life in the East Palace is also far from luxury.

Not to mention the daily labor in the Eastern Palace in the paperwork, Zhu Di is not accustomed to approving the ticket and the Sangsiao, many things are handed over to Zhu Gaoqi, the crown prince to do.

So in order to keep Zhu Di, the emperor, happy, the long hours of daily sedentary work were actually a pain.

Now gradually adapted to the life in the camp, Zhu Gaoqi instead of being able to accept, and even take this to go and in the East Palace compared to the approval of the zazhou, although the form of pain is different, but it is also but not the same.

He is today’s Prince, is the Crown Prince, at first there is still a frame, and everyone is very attentive to him, but Zhu Gaoqi’s temperament is gentle, slowly get close to people, but also get along very pleasant.

Only Qiu Song is the most severe and harsh, although after the next drill, Zhu Gaoqi, for the sake of self-esteem, has been in the night still diligently practicing hard, but still can not do the standard of the others.

And so the punishment of Chuson was almost essential.

This both discouraged Zhu Gaoqi, but could not help but stir up a few good intentions.

More than half a month down, Zhu Gaoqi has begun to change some of the face, his body is still fat, but if you look closely, today’s Zhu Gaoqi than before, the essence of the better, the gas is also obviously more than before enough.

Most importantly, once upon a time in the Eastern Palace, when he labored daily on paperwork but had to need to diet, he had to rely on his favorite desserts to pass the days, but a day down the line, he always still felt famished.

But the food in the model camp, but can be guaranteed, the daily meal tube enough.

He sometimes wondered if he ate too much, but when he looked at the others, they all ate as much as he did.

And so the restlessness settled in.

The drills in camp are really just appetizers, and beyond that, it’s marching with loads.

Often, such drills require full armament, and from Qixia, the line enters into the middle of Zijinshan Mountain, and then camps in Zijinshan Mountain, and then conducts drills for a few more days before returning.

Having just adapted to the rhythm of this camp, it turned out that soon, a more intense trial was already coming.

The squads assembled and refitted, while the march began.

Zhu Gaoqi legs and feet are not good, and heavy, out of the camp less than an hour, will have come up for air.

Zhu Yong proudly flew his horse and came, dismounted in front of Zhu Gaoqi, and said attentively, “Your Highness, ride a horse, ride …… my horse! Your Highness, you can’t suffer such a crime, my heart aches.”

Zhu Gaoqi’s eyes looked straight at the high horse in front of him, and then agreed without hesitation.

The exhaustion in his body also seemed to diminish in an instant.

He was about to roll up.

Zhu Yong, however, turned his head at this time, his face returned to its original cold and heavy, and said to Zhu Gaoqi’s fellow teammates, “The fourth team of the left battalion, one person fell out of the team, and those who are in the same team, are collectively penalized for digging a dung pit after camping.”

The lieutenants who were on the same team as Zhu Gaoqi were all speechless in color.

The army marching, coupled with heavily armed, this more than half a day to walk down, would have been exhausted, the most bitter poor, is to dig dung pits near the camp, after all, to the place, the people are going to get down, where to care about this?

But the lieutenants said in unison, “By order.”

“Aaah, Your Highness, why are you dismounting again? Can’t, can’t!” Zhu Yong finished giving the order on this side and turned his head, but he had already seen Zhu Gaoqi dismounting long ago and picking up the traveling clothes on the ground and carrying them on his back without saying a word.

Zhu Gaoqi tensed his face and said with a bit of stubbornness, “When did I fall behind?”

“Ah this ……” Zhu Yong said with a look of pain, “Your Highness, my heart aches for you ……”

Zhu Gaoqi then said nothing more, only silently carrying the weight of his entire body, without a word, he stepped away and squeezed directly into the crowd.

“Hey ……” Zhu Yong laughed, “you see your highness, but also very tempered.”

Zhang scratched his head at the side and said, “Knowing one’s brother-in-law is not as good as one’s inner brother! Big brother really anticipates things like a god, even this has been calculated.”

Zhu Yong said bitterly, “Will His Highness hold a grudge against us?”

Chang thought for a moment and said, “I don’t think so.”

“For what?”

Chang said in a serious manner, “A man only remembers the one that treats him worst ……”

With that, his eyes took in the distant Qusong, who was covered in gunpowder packs and puffing away with the artillery battalion trekking along.

Zhu Yong wiped his eyes, “Then I am also heartbroken for Third Brother.”

Zhang nodded, “Yes, my heart aches for him.”

The two of them sighed a little.

Days passed day by day, and after another month, Zhu Gaoqi was considered to be thoroughly accustomed to the life here.

The drills are hard and monotonous.

And gradually, he felt his chakra building up, only here, no one cared about his weight.

But he’s still fat.

But on closer inspection, it’s not exactly fat, but should be considered a bladder.

In addition to his growing chi, his complexion had darkened considerably, but his essence was very different from what it used to be.

Nowadays he hardly ever has to have his fellow teammates penalized.

And his strengths are starting to show.

For example, he was much better than the others in the literature classes in the model battalion, and was actually far superior to the other lieutenants in both reading and writing, as well as in arithmetic, and the more complicated algebra and functions.

Qiu Song at this time, actually changed the appearance of brutality, actually began to play the idea of Zhu Gaoqi.

In the words of Chuson, this bird is a fucking math genius!

But before Qiu Song could fill his words, he was covered by Zhang Bai with his face, “You can’t speak, so just say less.”

Qiu Song wants to transfer Zhu Gaoqi to the artillery battalion.

In Qiu Song’s mind, the model battalion is only the artillery battalion, which is considered to be the real elite, and the others are worse.

And artillery battalions aren’t as simple as the artillery of old, letting off a fucking shot.

It was the most technical branch of the service of the age, and was so arithmetically demanding that every artillery battalion needed to have an expertise in math.

After all, the power of the artillery, that was the business of the craftsmen, but where the shells landed was the business of the gunners.

How to ensure the point of impact involves math.

Of course, Zhu Gaoqi was not the least bit interested in such an invitation.

Although he had gotten used to the life here, he did not forget that his real identity was not a soldier, he was the current prince, and he did not intend to spend his whole life shooting guns.

In addition to this, Zhu Gaoqi has an advantage that actually comes from the genes of the old Zhu family.

From Zhu Yuanzhang, to the many sons of Zhu Yuanzhang thereafter, all had one specialty, that is, they were stout and born to be generals’ material.

Thus, whether it was Zhu Di, or King Zhu Quan of Ning, or the other kings, or the third generation of King Zhu Gaoxu of Han, or King Zhu Gaosu of Zhao, it was roughly the same.

After all, since their birth, they had enough meat to replenish their physical strength, and their development since childhood was very different from that of normal people.

And now the model battalion recruited lieutenants, although it has been considered carefully selected, but the sons and daughters of ordinary people, the innate conditions are here!

Even if he was treated favorably in the camp, with daily meat to energize his body and a lot of drills to beat up his body, compared to the Zhu family, who were born with a large amount of nutrients, there was always some shortcomings.

When it comes to development, Zhu Gaoqi is absolutely superior to everyone, and the reason why he ends up being different from his uncles and brothers is simply because …… he is obese.

And now, this body full of fat, under the day and night drills, transformed into fat, at this time, he, from the weak, even all of a sudden seems to become a wall.

Who can not imagine, this once walk a few steps to pant, daily life everywhere need people in the side waiting for the crown prince, now if you meet the martial arts drill, fighting with people, empty-handed, actually can be unusual people can not get close to the body.

Zhu Gaoqi was actually giddy about this change in himself, a physical change that gradually began to become more and more obvious after two months.

Naturally, this was accompanied by a very good routine. The routine in the camp was so fixed, so different from what he had been doing in the Eastern Palace, that he slept well every day, which refreshed him.

In fact, even he, himself, was beginning to think that this man didn’t look like himself.

It was as if …… the whole thing had been transformed.

Just why does …… work?

Knowing that in the beginning, when he was young, it wasn’t as if he hadn’t been in Yanshanwei, he began to finely distinguish the substantial difference between Yanshanwei and Model Battalion.

Horse lessons are also what Zhu Gaoqi is most interested in.

Because this is also his specialty, Zhu Di loves horses, so in order to please this father’s emperor, Zhu Gaoqi knows riding like the back of his hand, so you can say, he was a theorist of riding early on.

Of course, once upon a time, it was only a theory, after all, because of the limited physical condition, every time you turn over to get on the horse, it is a challenge, even if you get on the horse, that is already panting and tired.

But now, the body is much better, although still fat, but is obviously much more dexterous, not long, in his deep knowledge of horses and riding theory, this riding lessons to the team officers can only obediently listen to the lessons on the sidelines, only Zhu Gaoqi gabbling, talking about a variety of riding the essentials of the horse.

Three months in the barracks, as if three years had passed outside.

However, there are too many affairs in the camp, and the daily drudgery and study almost make a strong young man can not breathe, and there is no time for the outside world, it is like a temple in the downtown, and once you go deeper into it, it is like forgetting the mortal world.

On Zhang Anshi’s side, he had finally constructed the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, and all of them, from the Shangshu and the ministers, down to the chief ministers and the langzhongs, were already in their positions, and then, they began to operate like the other ministries and departments.

This sea politics department, under the sailor governor’s office, the sea trade department, customs, cleaner department, sea road inspection department, maritime bureau and so on institutions, zhang anshi this shangshu, and not often go to the office, almost is the left minister yang pu is responsible for.

Zhang Anshi in fact is also considered to be idle, whether it is the sea politics, or new politics, now have people for him to do, he has to do, but to do some decision-making only.

To the early winter, Honglu Temple side busy, but the desert, Tartar, Warat, Duo Yan three chiefs to see.

The subjugation of the steppe tribes has long since begun, after all, having suffered the blows of the Great Ming.

At the same time, after seeing the military power of the Ming Dynasty, even if they are as rough as they are, they also know that by robbing the Ming Dynasty is the way to death! As a result, they paid tribute every year and promised to protect the trade routes of Han merchants.

Naturally, although the ministries have now lost the livelihood of looting, nowadays, they are slowly starting to have a new livelihood.

Although the desert is large, but after all, it is a barren land, the use of fur and cattle and horses to trade with the Great Ming, can only feed their families.

So, they simply purchased a large amount of commercial goods from Guannai at a heavy price, and then took the route to the Desert and the Western Regions to sell them to farther places.

They are accustomed to migrate, and the desert and the western region of the bitter cold, the general Han merchants, in fact, difficult to endure, and they as a second-hand dealers, earn to the middle of the price difference, actually slowly began to have a sound.

This time, when the chiefs of the three ministries came in person for an audience, there were considerations of expanding trade.

At first it was the Tatar Khan who took the lead in requesting to enter the capital, but the news soon leaked out, so Doyen and Warrat also rushed to come.

They feared that the Tartar Khan had pre-empted some contract, and gained some advantage in the process of buying and selling.

Zhu Di personally summoned them, and naturally Zhang Anshi and the group of ministers were among them.

The three great khans had performed a great salute and called out Hail to the Most Holy Emperor.

Zhu calmly sat down, only nodding faintly at them.

Zhu Di is a Yan Wang origin, whether it is the Warat, Tatar or Doyan, are all his old acquaintances.

He couldn’t know more about the habits of these bird people.

So he said some crowning words and decreed that he would host a banquet in a few days.

When the three great khans came into the spirit, this Khan of the Doyen clan bowed down and said, “I have dancers with whom I can cheer your majesty.”

Zhu Di on the prairie in the song and dance, not the slightest interest, pondered for a moment, said: “I have heard that the ministries are good at Bok, this custom, so far, not bad, may as well Bok to cheer it up.”

The three sweats looked at each other.

This so-called bok is actually wrestling.

They are all of Mongolian origin, and when the Mongols were on their way to the west, Bok was already prevalent, and even became the most important entertainment in the tribal assemblies.

After the Yuan Dynasty, they are to carry this forward, “Yuan Shi – two records” is recorded: “Ban Chao all divisions, listen to the Crown Prince each set a person. To arch guard straight all commanders make horse mou sha jiao arrive belongs to the victory, remote authorization of flat chapter positive thing.”

That is to say, at that time, if the person who won a wrestling match, he could be directly awarded a high official position such as the Fart Pingzhang Zhengshi.

In addition to this, in order to effectively manage the sport, the Brave School Department, an official governing body specializing in the management of combat sports, was established in the early Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu is obviously more interested in this kind of fighting and killing.

And having three parts of wrestling to entertain is obviously very watchable as well.

When the three khans heard this, how could they dare to disobey? Then they all said, “Obey the decree.”

Zhu Di said boldly, “Whoever comes out on top, I will give a gold belt to encourage and a hundred thousand dollars in gold.”

All at once, a small change began to form in Mikhan’s eyes.

When it comes to Kim, they have something to say.

After dismissing the three khans, Zhu had become quite interested.

He left Zhang Anshi behind with a smile and said to Zhang Anshi, “Zhang Qing, you see, if Emperor Taizu Gao knew the tribes of the steppe and helped me to boke, he would be greatly relieved in heaven.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Yes, the heart of Emperor Taizu Gao, said again and again, the enemy of the Great Ming, always in the north, to the children and grandchildren to always remember, at this time, what ever thought, his majesty easily leveled the grassland.”

Zhu Di laughed twice, then nodded and said: “this Bok of entertainment theater, you to set up! Be sure to be secure, all officials should participate, and the children of the ministers to see, and then invite some people, so that they know, I Ming also martial arts into the wind.”

Zhang Anshi responded, “Yes, I will obey the order.”

Zhu said, “Alright, you go and get busy.”

“I take my leave.” Zhang Anshi saluted and obediently left.

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi’s back as he left and took his seat, but sighed.

Yilungha, who was waiting on the side, said with concern, “Your Majesty, why are you sighing?”

“I thought of the crown prince.” Zhu Di said.

Also lost Ha said, “Since Your Majesty thought of the Crown Prince, why not ask His Highness the King of Wuhu County ……”

Zhu Di then said, “Once upon a time when I asked, I saw that he had a shameful face, obviously …… Zhang Qing has its hidden intentions. I just simply do not ask, anyway, this three May period, also almost to.”

He also said, “If His Highness, the King of Wuhu County, knew that His Majesty had the pains to spare him this hardship, I don’t know how grateful he would be!”

“He’s grateful for a bird.” Zhu cursed and didn’t continue.

Yee Lostha laughed, unimpressed, he was used to it.

…………

The bamboo whistle suddenly blew.

Immediately after that, everyone in the entire Model Battalion had armed themselves and rushed to the schoolyard to assemble at a rapid pace.

This sudden assembly is either an emergency drill or a temporary accident.

So almost all the lieutenants, in their hearts, carried questions.

Rally complete.

After all the people line up, Zhu Yong will shout: “by the Oracle, tomorrow in the Feilin left guard set up a banquet to invite Varadar, Tartar chiefs to drink, model battalion is responsible for the near guard, so now set off, tonight to facilitate the Feilin left guard stationed, tomorrow is responsible for the garrison matters, the battalion, the team, each line that is good, and so on arrived in the left guard camp, and then scheduling, now! …… Give you two incense sticks, pack up, ready to go.”

The crowd boomed, “Here.”

Zhu Yong finished, pressed the knife, turned back then grunted to Zhang: “People eat wine, we stand guard, eat a meal also such a big row.”

Zhang Dao said, “Why don’t Second Brother go talk to Big Brother?”

Zhu Yong was busy shivering and said, “No, no, no, this wouldn’t dare! Big Brother must have his wonderful use in arranging like this, we will listen to him.”

Speaking here, he seems to suddenly think of something, the spirit of a moment to cheer up, said: “Perhaps …… it is these grasslands in the Tartars to come, to borrow us to kill a Tartar’s prestige is not certain. After all, …… we have not fought with the Tartars for a long time, I am afraid that they have forgotten the pain after a good scar.”

Zhang rested his chin, admiration in his eyes, saying, “In that case, big brother is really thoughtful, awesome, awesome!”
