The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1160

[1160. Chapter 1108 The kindness is as heavy as a mountain]

. In the Zhenguo Mansion.

Fang Jifan summoned his disciples.

He stroked Zhu Zaimo’s head lovingly.

After a long period of training, this child, who is nearly ten years old, has a wheat-colored skin, bright eyes, and an outstanding temperament.

His body is quite strong, and these children are well-nourished, so they are not short in stature.

You know, in this era, the height of ordinary people was not very high. In France during this period, the average height of ordinary people was only a little over one and a half meters.

The Ming Dynasty was not much better. The so-called three-inch men in later generations were very common in this era. It was considered normal for a man to be more than 1.5 meters tall.

No matter how short and thin they are, they are all common.

This is naturally due to insufficient nutrition. Most people are full and hungry, and their height… does not exist.

Fang Jifan remembered that in his previous life, his father was over 1.6 meters tall, which was actually considered qualified for his generation. However, Fang Jifan himself, who was over 1.7 meters tall, already seemed a bit short.

People like Zhu Zaimo are different. They usually have big fish and meat, and their stomachs are rich in oil and water. Naturally, they are not comparable to ordinary people. This is the biggest difference between nobles and ordinary people.

Zhu Zaimo is now about 1.4 meters tall. In later generations, he would be the most common child of about ten years old. But here… in almost two years, it will be a sign that he will completely grow up and it will be almost time. It’s time to marry a wife.

Thinking of marrying a wife, Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Zaimo enviously.

Life is like a besieged city. Those who have not married a wife want to marry a wife, and those who have a wife…well…want a dozen more.

“Zai Mo, do your best. This is to sharpen you as a teacher. You have learned so many skills. Now Your Majesty appoints me to be the commander. You are all my disciples and my children. This training is for me as a teacher. How do you practice? There is a charter for the division, and you follow the charter, but… these soldiers are not just pieces of wood, they are people of flesh and blood. If you follow the charter completely, you will be too old-fashioned. You must also work out good plans in the process. “I have taught you knowledge for so many years. It is time for you to take charge of your own affairs. Do it well and do it well. I am honored to be a

teacher

.”

Everyone’s eyes shined.

It is indeed a joyful thing for them to be able to join Fang Jifan’s sect.

Fang Jifan designed countless courses for them. Most of these courses were educational and entertaining, and he did not try his best to cram them with the Four Books and Five Classics.

At first, they asked civil servants to assist them in governing Xishan County. Later, they taught them bow and horse, invited old soldiers, and invited two senior brothers, Wang Shouren and Tang Yin, to explain the art of generalship.

And now… they are actually given such an important responsibility.

You must know that the reason why His Majesty gave the order to the mentor and asked him to do this is because His Majesty had high hopes for the mentor. This was the time for the mentor to show off his talents in front of His Majesty, but the mentor… took this hard-won opportunity. The opportunity was given to a group of children.

Can a group of children make it?

If it fails, Your Majesty will probably blame his mentor for treating military and national affairs as child’s play.

This is the thought.

Zhu Zaimo’s eyes turned red.

He was rarely moved.

Now, I am almost crying.

This is my mentor.

His father was not as kind to him as his mentor.

Zhu Zaimo bowed down solemnly: “Student, you will definitely not disappoint your teacher.”

The other children bowed down one after another, Fang Zhengqing, Xu Pengju… these familiar faces, there was still a hint of childishness on their faces, and now… Many people cried.

Fang Jifan stroked the short beard that had been carefully trimmed on his chin, and said with a smile, “Don’t be like this, teachers and students are like father and son. In my heart, as a teacher, you are the hope of my Ming Dynasty, unlike your senior brothers.” , at a glance, all of them looked sullen. The one who hurts me the most is you. Come on, come on, children, get up. First, carefully read the regulations prepared for the teacher, and then enter. Let’s go to the camp. This camp has been set up and is on the back mountain. If you have any needs, you can come and find me. If you have any questions, you can talk to me.”

Fang Jifan said, clasping his hands behind his back and waving: “Go.”

The children still had red eyes and refused to leave.

Zhu Zaimo was filled with emotions.

Originally, people of this age have many questions and feelings about the world.

Young men are always prone to being self-righteous and sentimental.

So, now… there was a sudden warmth in his heart, flowing throughout his body.

“Go, go!”

Zhu Zaimo bowed before getting up and taking the children with him.

What a good group of kids.

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but be moved.

Now, it’s time to let the little tigers come out of the mountains.

Humph, beat up that damn wicked guard.

………

Even with the Emperor Sun’s signature, the Zhengde Guard’s recruitment was still a bit unsmooth.

His Royal Highness is still very prestigious. I think back then, it shocked the desert and made people yearn for him.

There is a future with His Royal Highness.

On the other hand, the emperor’s grandson, isn’t this the son of His Highness the Crown Prince?

Although no one knew what he was doing, it was obvious that the son was not as good as the father.

And the emperor’s grandson is still young.

As a result, only the remaining people selected by the Bad Guards came to the Zhengde Guards obediently.

Wang Jinyuan’s face… was very bad.

When did the young master become a picker of scraps?

It’s just…

He felt sad in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it.

…

Three hundred people have been recruited.

Although the number of people is not large.

But everything needs to happen slowly.

Soon, these people were sent to the back mountain.

They distributed weapons and military uniforms, including the most common swords, guns, swords and halberds, as well as horses.

At this time, fire blunderbuss had not yet become widely popular and their lethality was not high, so… there was no plan to set up a divine machine camp for the time being.

Military training is nothing more than developing a spiritual spirit.

But…

two days later, these soldiers who were gradually getting used to the camp heard the thunderous beating of drums and rushed to the school grounds. They found that a group of young men who were shorter than them were all riding tall horses. He entered the camp in a high-spirited manner.

The first one was Zhu Zaimo, followed by Xu Pengju and Fang Zhengqing on the left and right.

The soldiers began to discuss and whisper among themselves.

Zhu Zaimo, however, waved his riding whip and shouted sternly: “My name is Zhu Zaimo!”

“…”

Zhu Zaimo continued: “Today, my master is under the imperial order, and I am under the master’s order. From today on, I will be the Zhengde Guard. “

Commanding Tongzhi…”

As he spoke, he untied a square seal from his waist and held it up: “This is the great seal of Tongzhi. With this seal, I can control your life and death. From now on, I will be with them. , Drill and wait, Fang Zhengqing Qianhu, come and read the military order.”

“Yes.”

Fang Zhengqing was not ambiguous at all. He took the document and shouted: “Anyone who dares to violate the military order will be killed!

” !”

“Those who dare to rob the people will be killed!”

…

he said nine kills in a row.

At this time, the soldiers felt a chill in their hearts.

Although they feel that these children are not reliable, but…

Next, Fang Zhengqing read again: “Anyone who dares to disrespect the superior will be whipped twenty times!”

“Anyone who dares to waste military rations will be whipped twenty times!”

“Anyone who dares to leave the camp without permission will be whipped twenty times!”

“Twenty lashes!”

……

The military orders were read out one by one.

The soldiers still looked at these children strangely.

The acting… really looks like this.

Could it be that…we were recruited just to play with these children?

But at this moment, there was a sudden squeak…a strange voice, interrupting Fang Zhengqing’s words.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

But Xu Pengju looked ashamed and lowered his head.

“Who farted!” Zhu Zaimo and Fang Zhengqing looked at each other and seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other.

Then Zhu Zaimo shouted loudly.

Xu Pengju said with shame: “I…I…not…not me…”

Zhu Zaimo gritted his teeth: “Okay, how dare you deceive me, Xu Pengju, you are a Qianhu official appointed by my mentor, how dare you take the lead Disobey the military order, fart first, follow the military order, how about it?”

Fang Zhengqing said loudly: “Thirty whips for disrespecting the superior!”

“Take it down”

Xu Peng said… I knew you would do this.

No wonder… Let yourself be a Qianhu.

He looked miserable and was about to scream.

Fang Zhengqing took the lead and pulled him off his horse, and the other children rushed forward like wolves and tigers.

Then, he took a bench and tied Xu Pengju to the bench.

When all the soldiers saw it, they were full of surprise…are they really fighting? Is this really not a joke?

This person…is a Qianhu official?

Xu Pengju cried loudly: “Why do you beat me every time, woo woo woo…” Zhu Zaimo stepped forward with the whip and

said

, “When I commit a first offense, I will give him ten lashes first, and then twenty, write it down.”

Then he shouted again: “Xu Qianhu, don’t think that because you are the grandson of the Duke of Wei, I will spare you and enter the camp. No matter who you are, you are a member of the camp. If you have merit, you will be spared.” Rewards and punishments for transgressions are the rules in the camp. It doesn’t matter if you fart first today, but if you refuse to admit it, it is disrespectful. I will beat you today because you have done something wrong first.”

Saying that… he whipped it down…

crack…

Xu Pengju suddenly howled and screamed miserably.

When the soldiers saw that Zhu Zaimo was showing no mercy, Xu Pengju howled fiercely.

But their minds were confused.

This Xu Pengju was not only from a thousand households, but… he was also the grandson of Wei Guogong…

The grandson of Wei Guogong… was beaten…

“Pa…”

Another whip.

This whipping was extremely intimidating and the sound was very loud. Coupled with Xu Pengju’s wailing, it immediately made people feel sad.

The soldiers couldn’t help but held their breath and were silent. No one dared to make any mistakes.
