Chapter 670 How Can My Disciple Fail?
A small flag unit has ten people. The treatment of the Beijing Guards is good, with two bedrooms. For the border troops, it is not uncommon for ten people to squeeze into one room. According to the old guards in the palace, the smell in summer can be fatal.
Zhu Shitai was taken out of the bedroom and the soldier went back immediately.
"...I heard that a new flag officer is coming, and he is said to be quite capable."
"I don't care about that. No matter who it is, he has to beat me first. If someone can't beat me, even if the prince comes, I won't recognize him."
"Wang Kaoshan, do you really think you are the bravest warrior of the Tiger Guard Left Guard?" someone said angrily.
"Li Ji, don't point your broken bow at me. With your archery skills, I can behead you with one strike before you even draw your bow and arrow."
"stop fighting."
"Old Tian, what's the matter? Are you not convinced?"
"Wang Kaoshan, do you really think you are the King of Kaoshan? If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, Grandpa will get you tonight."
"Haha! Old Tian, if you weren't too old, I would have granted your wish right now."
"Can you let me read quietly for a while?" came a somewhat childish boy's voice.
"Hey! Yang Sheng, the great talent of our small flag unit, finally spoke up. I thought you looked down on us warriors!"
"I am a martial arts student, so I am naturally a fighter. But whether to fight or not depends on one's ability. It's not just a verbal threat."
"Why don't you show me how martial arts teaches us how to kill people?"
"The martial arts professor is a match for ten thousand men!"
"Ten Thousand Enemies, what is that?"
"The Art of War is the method of commanding troops, the method of using troops, and the way of employing troops."
"Damn it, the more you talk, the more confused I get."
Hearing this, Zhu Shitai coughed dryly and the room fell silent.
Then he walked in.
There was a large bunk bed in the room, with several soldiers sitting on it. Near the window was a burly young man with a book in his hand.
Standing in the middle was a tall young soldier who looked quite rebellious. He turned around and looked at Zhu Shitai, laughing strangely, "A young master has come?"
A thin soldier sitting on the bunk bed, holding a longbow in his hand, slowly came down, "Li Ji has met Xiaoqi."
There were two old soldiers, one looked to be in his forties, with a scar on his face, looking a bit ferocious, and the other was younger than him and looked a bit indifferent.
The two old soldiers reacted the fastest. As Zhu Shitai entered the room, they got down on the ground and saluted.
"Tian Fang, Zhang De, nice to meet Xiao Qi!"
Several other soldiers came down and saluted. Three soldiers from the next room came up after hearing the news and saluted.
"My name is Zhu Shitai!"
Zhu Shitai carried a bag on his back, "Besides, I'm not a young master!"
The unruly sergeant said, "Wang Kaoshan meets the flag officer."
Yang Sheng, who was sitting by the window, put away the scroll and said, "Yang Sheng meets Xiao Qi."
Zhu Shitai looked at these soldiers, and the anxiety and fear in his heart suddenly dissipated... Second Uncle said, you don't need to worry about anything. When things come, respond to them, accept them, and live with them.
Things are done, send it off!
No matter how anxious and fearful you are, when you face it, you will find that it is actually the case.
Face it!
Pick it up!
Zhu Shitai found that at this moment, just as his second uncle had said, the anxiety and worry that had accumulated for a long time had all dissipated.
Face it!
Zhu Shitai put the bag on the bunk bed and said slowly, "On the battlefield, if we can't work together, we will only kill our comrades. Who said just now that we should teach them a lesson?"
Wang Kaoshan said, "It's me."
He was ready to be scolded and even punished.
But I'm sorry, you can use your status as a superior to punish and scold me, but I still won't submit to you.
Zhu Shitai said calmly: "I don't know who gave you the courage, but since you are here, I think you will not be convinced if I don't take action. Don't be surprised, I am not that kind of young man who is powerless.
But I am the superior officer, if you want to take action, I have to speak first. As for you... Wang Kaoshan!"
"Here!" Wang Kaoshan stood up straight involuntarily.
"Some generals in the army are good at leading troops, some are good at charging, some are good at making decisions during battles... some are good at fighting bravely. No one is perfect, no one is all-round, no one is perfect... If everyone is as provocative as you, how can you lead your troops?"
Zhu Shitai looked at the crowd, "Did Li Jing in the pre-Tang Dynasty have a reputation for bravery? No, but he had many brave generals under his command, and no one could disobey him."
Li Jing was very famous, and Wang Kaoshan knew it. He said unconvincedly, "Li Jing is a famous general, leading his troops in battles and is unrivaled. Do you think Xiaoqi can compete with him?"
"Of course I don't dare to compete with him. But when it comes to using troops, you are not even qualified to lead my horse." Zhu Shitai said coldly: "Don't you agree?"
"Yes."
"Then come out."
Zhu Shitai called out all his subordinates, "Five people on each side, one more person... Yang Sheng will withdraw for the time being."
"Okay!" The pimples on Wang Kaoshan's face swelled up with excitement.
……
"After the young Duke entered, he had an argument with his subordinates, and then made a bet with them, with five people practicing at the same time."
When the person arranged by Jiang Qingzhi sent the news, Zhu Xizhong's face changed slightly, "Qingzhi..."
His son had grown up in a comfortable home and had never experienced such struggles among the lower classes. The old dandy was worried that his son would be given a cold shoulder by his subordinates as soon as he took office.
A new official has three things to do when he takes office, but he should not forget that the people below him are also ready to show their power and to punish him.
The army only recognizes the strong. If Zhu Shitai is defeated, he will no longer have a place in the Huben Zuowei.
The heir to Duke Cheng's Mansion had to return home in disgrace just as he entered the army... If this news gets out, Zhu Shitai will have no chance of living as a human being.
"Calm down." Jiang Qingzhi's eyes were on the map. "Brother, I can't stay calm. Qingzhi, if Dalang loses..." The old playboy came over and said anxiously, "Stop them!"
Jiang Qingzhi looked at him slowly and shook his head, "I can stop them, but have you ever thought about it? Dalang has been protected by you and your wife since he was a child, and has never experienced wind and rain. Can you rest assured about such an heir?"
"I know this truth, but..." The old dude sighed, feeling anxious.
"People mature through countless trials and tribulations." Jiang Qingzhi patted his shoulder. "He is not only your son, the heir of Duke Cheng, but also my nephew and my disciple. I care more about Dalang's future in the army than you do!"
Zhu Xizhong sat down dejectedly, "Forget it, forget it!"
"Have confidence!" Jiang Qingzhi smiled.
"Dalang has never experienced this." Zhu Xizhong was a little impatient.
"Do you know what I taught him?" Jiang Qingzhi asked with a smile.
"I haven't really asked about this." Zhu Xizhong felt that it was a matter between Jiang Qingzhi and his son, and it would be difficult for him to steal his knowledge.
"The method of commanding an army, the method of fighting, strategy, tactics... Old Zhu, this is tactics. On tactics..." A look of contempt that was familiar to Zhu Xizhong appeared between Jiang Qingzhi's brows.
"How could my disciple lose?!"
……
"Dash to the left!"
Wang Kaoshan and four soldiers suddenly turned around.
But Zhu Shitai seemed to have predicted the future and turned around with four soldiers, blocking him.
paralysis!
This was Wang Kaoshan's fifth failure.
He was so angry that he said, "Kill them!"
"Attack him from both sides!" Zhu Shitai took Tian Fang to attack Wang Kaoshan without hesitation.
Capture the thief first and capture the king!
Tian Fang took a punch from Wang Kaoshan, and Zhu Shitai, who looked like a young master, suddenly jumped up.
Wang Kaoshan was knocked down by a sweeping kick. Just when Wang Kaoshan wanted to get up, Zhu Shitai jumped into the air and hit him on the side of the head with his elbow.
Wang Kaoshan was blinded by the splashing mud and he didn't move.
Zhu Shitai stood up and said, "If it were on the battlefield, this would not be an elbow, but a knife."
Tian Fang retreated, and another veteran soldier, Zhang De, whispered, "How is it?"
Tian Fang rubbed his arm. He had just blocked Wang Kaoshan's punch and it was a little painful. "Be concise and no nonsense... I am most afraid of what tricks this guy will use. The battlefield is ever-changing, and military tactics... rely more on instinct. This flag officer... is not bad."
Wang Kaoshan got up, looked at everyone, and his face flushed.
"Speak!" Zhu Shitai said coldly.
My second uncle once said: "You cannot command an army with kindness, and you cannot command wealth with justice. You cannot be soft-hearted when leading your subordinates. When you need to use drastic measures, you must not hesitate...
If Wang Kaoshan refuses to admit defeat, Zhu Shitai has already prepared drastic measures.
Wang Kaoshan hesitated for a moment, "I... lost!"
Zhu Shitai pointed to the training ground and said, "Run ten laps!"
There is no one on the training ground at the moment. If I run ten laps... I will definitely be laughed at.
Zhu Shitai looked at everyone and said, "Wang Kaoshan provoked but no one tried to dissuade him. This shows that you did not regard him as a brother and only wanted to laugh at his or my joke.
Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight in battle. Who would dare to trust their backs to such comrades on the battlefield? All of them! "
Everyone stood up straight and couldn't help but look up at the newly appointed flag officer... a flag officer who looked like a young master.
"Everyone run ten laps."
Zhu Shitai took the lead.
Wang Kaoshan waited for a while and muttered, "Do I need you to accompany me?", but he followed immediately.
Chen De nodded, "It's quite interesting!"
Tian Fang smiled and said, "It's quite interesting to combine hardness and softness. Let's walk, no, run."
……
"Uncle."
The news came again, "The little prince has won a great victory."
"Good!" The old dandy almost jumped up, and then said modestly: "He is indeed my son."
Jiang Qingzhi chuckled, and Zhu Xizhong laughed dryly, "Qingzhi, he is indeed your disciple."
"Someone is doing exercises." Someone shouted outside.
Zhu Xizhong's followers came in, "Duke, the young Duke is taking his men for exercise!"
"Why?"
Zhu Xizhong went out and saw from afar his son leading his subordinates running around the parade ground.
"The first of three fires was a failure in showing off one's power." Jiang Qingzhi looked at his disciples with his hands behind his back and asked, "How is it?"
Yan Xu sighed, "It's a pity that I have to lead the army and cannot learn the art of war from you, Lord."
"Run!" Zhu Shitai shouted back.
He accidentally saw his father and second uncle here.
He wanted to wave, but immediately stopped himself.
I am no longer the little duke of the Duke's Mansion.
But he was a small flag officer in the Ming army.
Zhu Shitai!
