The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1485

[1485. Chapter 1410 The Son of Heaven resides in the place where he has strong soldiers and horses.]

Xishan Academy applies what he has learned. No matter which subject, there are special riding and archery courses.

Most of them stay with nearby farmers and raise their own horses. For learning, bows, arrows, swords, and armor are also specially supplied.

His Royal Highness the Prince is the dean of the academy.

Although the imperial court is very sensitive to the use of force to break the ban, no one dares to find out about His Highness the Crown Prince.

Usually these students are already familiar with the art of bow and horse.

The art of arching and horsemanship is not just as simple as riding and shooting.

Because to learn this, you first need a good body, and if a large number of people learn it, you need to enforce laws and prohibitions.

A group of people who can eat meat on weekdays and have sufficient nutritional intake, but also are young men who dance with swords and guns from time to time, and sleep together all the time. Not to mention, they have already had great ambitions when they come here to study. When His Highness the Prince, the dean, called, they immediately thought of the countless seniors who had made great contributions to Xishan Academy, and their eyes all turned red.

Not to be missed.

Rebels are a rarity these days, a rare thing that happens only once in a hundred years.

People received weapons and armor, and quickly gathered. Each college began to shout commands. In the medical school, Su Yue was already fully armed, holding a war saber, and behind him were thousands of medical students, all holding open fires, menacing and dense. There are many spears.

Su Yue got on the horse and waved her hand: “Let’s go.”

………

The first person to leave Xishan Academy was the College of Engineering. The students in the College of Engineering were exceptionally strong. Everyone rode a horse, and their bodies were like iron towers. Some people even didn’t like to use swords. The maces they carried made Li Zhaofan’s scalp numb when he saw them.

After that, it was the School of Arithmetic, then the School of Medicine, then the School of Engineering, then the Military Academy…

Zhu Houzhao was in high spirits, with a beaming face. Looking around, he saw many old acquaintances, especially those from the School of Engineering and the School of Medicine, many He was all too familiar with the people.

Zhu Houzhao looked back at Li Zhaofan and said with a hint of contentment: “Do you think our academy has strong soldiers?”

Li Zhaofan thought he was entering a den of thieves and looked at the joyous team from a distance, with rows of Pegasus passing by.

Li Zhaofan said involuntarily: “Strong, strong.”

Zhu Houzhao sat on the horse, crossed his arms, and laughed boldly: “See if they are strong?”

“They are strong!” This is what he said from his heart.

Although Li Zhaofan always felt weird.

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows; “The emperor is the one who has strong soldiers and horses! This is why my father is the emperor, and I am the prince. It is not the so-called monarchs and ministers who maintain the world. These are just for decoration. There is no destiny in the world, so whoever has such elite soldiers and generals can be regarded as one. You confused scholars will not understand. Today, I will let those confused people understand what it means to have strong soldiers and strong horses. “

Li Zhaofan was shocked and felt that his outlook on life had been overturned.

He is Li Dongyang’s adopted son.

Although Li Dongyang was resourceful and held a high position, he was not lucky in terms of heirs. He had several sons, but they all died in infancy. Now that he is old, Li Zhaofan was originally the son of Li Dongyang’s brother, but he adopted the name of Li Dongyang. Down.

Although he is not Li Dongyang’s biological son, Li Dongyang has had great expectations for him over the years and has been teaching him by words and deeds.

But now…he found that his outlook on life was beginning to be different.

At this time, facing the morning light, the mighty team has set off.

………

Shenji Camp.

The commander of Shenji Battalion also stayed up all night.

Although at first, he was very excited, thinking…it was time for his fortune to turn around.

It must be mentioned that Zhang Ran, the commander, had been depressed and had been short of money in the past few days. Thanks to the funding from King Anhua, he was able to overcome the difficulties.

Now that His Majesty is critically ill and the whole group is leaderless, it is the time for Xiang to do great things.

Last night, King Anhua ordered someone to send an imperial edict.

Zhang Ran read the imperial edict over and over again, and became more confident.

King Anhua actually has such energy, and this imperial edict looks real.

Early in the morning, he ordered people to start beating drums and summoned the soldiers of the Shenji Camp.

Countless soldiers began to gather in the school grounds.

Zhang Ran led the troops harshly and treated the soldiers well, so the soldiers always obeyed his advice.

Then, surrounded by countless military attachés, Zhang Ran flew to the front of the formation.

Afterwards… he handed the imperial edict to the commander Tongzhi, and said one word with a cold face: “Read it.”

The commanding officer Tongzhi Sima Cheng looked at the imperial edict suspiciously.

How could there be an imperial decree coming at this moment?

But… he still took it obediently, and said loudly in front of the officers and soldiers of the Shenji camp: “I have been entrusted by heaven to carry the emperor, and the edict says: I have inherited the order of the emperor and heaven, and have ruled the country for thirty years. Now that I am ill, I am seriously ill, and I have nothing to worry about but the prince. I am lying down due to a serious illness, and I do not see the prince to serve me. This is unfilial. The prince is in no state now, and I have run out of oil and my lamp has dried up. At this time, I have been reflecting on myself. I have heard that when a king governs, he first eliminates harm to others and provides enough food and clothing for them, and then teaches them etiquette and justice, so that they know what they like and dislike and do what they like. This is why the world is peaceful and happy. However, the prince looks upon him, but his body is stained with evil. I have woken up from the evil deception and found out that the successor to the vassal state of Qi has deceived heaven and neglected the people, deceived the prince, and sought opportunities for resentment and rebellion. God is angry and people are angry, gods and men are angry. Now that I am seriously ill, who can I take care of for the important matters of my family and country? I can only order my clan members to raise righteous soldiers to punish the people and punish the people who succeeded me and Xishan Academy. “Main Chao Gang, support the country!”

This commander, Sima Cheng, was thinking, but he became more and more frightened. He looked up at Zhang Ran cautiously, and saw a murderous look on Zhang Ran’s face.

Why is it that for no reason, there is an imperial edict to raise troops to serve the king and attack the unruly ministers?

The person who wanted to be killed was actually His Majesty’s son-in-law, Duke of Qi, who was always on good terms with the Prince. And… to execute all the students of Xishan Academy…

He was full of doubts, and at first he thought it was a bit unbelievable.

But this imperial edict does not seem to be fake.

Sima Cheng finished reading.

Zhang Ran pressed his sword and said sternly: “The matter is urgent. Today I have received an edict from the emperor. All armies will follow me. Take action immediately. It will be accomplished. Great achievements will be made. I will be kind to my wife!” Everyone

in the Shenji Camp felt panic in their hearts, but Still, they all said: “As ordered.”

So… the whole Shenji camp was ready to leave.

But at this moment, someone hurriedly came outside the camp gate and shouted: “Command, command…His Royal Highness, the prince is here with his troops and horses…”

“…”

Zhang Ran’s expression changed.

Before I went to find them, they actually found me first?

He forced himself to calm down and said coldly: “Where did the soldiers and horses come from?”

“Xishan Academy.”

Zhang Ran’s heart skipped a beat.

Damn it…

a group of scholars…

should I laugh? The so-called… the so-called “no place to be found after wearing iron shoes”, it doesn’t take much effort to get there.

The officers and soldiers were stunned.

Zhang Ran was about to laugh a few times to boost his morale.

But he remembered something and asked, “Where are they?”

“They have been killed at the camp gate.” The guard was about to cry.

Zhang Ran’s face sank and he couldn’t help but said angrily: “Why did you come so fast? Where are the sentries outside?”

“They surrounded the camp and directly… took action directly. More than a hundred brothers who were guarding outside were instantly , they were killed and scattered by them. Their cavalry and shooting were so powerful… despicable… despicable… “

Just in case, Zhang Ran ordered his personal guards to guard outside the camp gate.

All these can be regarded as his own private soldiers. They have been cultivated by him and are extremely reliable. Zhang Ran usually takes care of them because these soldiers are all well-trained warriors. But how could he Unexpectedly… they were washed away in an instant.

Or by a group of scholars?

Zhang Ran: “…”

The officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion looked at Zhang Ran in confusion.

Zhang Ran’s Adam’s apple rolled.

He suddenly felt…that he was as ridiculous as a clown.

Next, his eyes were fixed on the imperial edict in Sima Cheng’s hand.

In the distance, horses’ hooves rumbled up, as if thousands of troops were approaching.

Zhang Ran shuddered. At this moment, countless thoughts seemed to have passed through his mind. The next moment, like crazy, he snatched the imperial edict from Sima Cheng’s hand, then with red eyes, he took the edict in one go. Divide into two.

Now… he even wants to find fire and burn this damn thing to ashes immediately.

But…it was already too late.

Even though he had torn the imperial edict into pieces in full view of the public.

But it was obviously too late.

In the distance, a mighty cavalry was coming towards the school grounds all over the mountains and plains, like huge waves. Even the sky and the earth were changed by it, and the momentum was huge.

The leader, Zhu Houzhao, was wearing armor. He was the first to come on a flying horse, but he was actually alone.

Everyone in the Shenji camp watched all this in horror.

Many people still don’t quite understand what happened.

Zhu Houzhao arrived in an instant.

He was riding a tall horse, his face full of majesty.

A personal guard of Zhang Ran, who was unaware of the situation and obviously did not know the identity of the man who came on horseback, held a spear in his hand and stopped Zhu Houzhao, shouting: “Who dares to enter the camp rashly? Do you know what this means?” Where…”

His voice stopped abruptly.

Zhu Houzhao, who was on the horse, flashed the long knife in his hand, his face was calm and understated, but at the moment when the long knife was sheathed, the guard had a blood mark on his neck.

Bang!

The long knife sank into Zhu Houzhao’s scabbard, and the guard also covered his neck at the same time, and blood dripped down. Then, the whole person collapsed and died.

Everyone held their breath. They felt that their eyes were blurred. So far, they had not had time to capture the trajectory of the long knife.

Zhu Houzhao slowly killed people, but it was like killing a chicken, and there was still no expression on his face.

He rode a horse and looked at Zhang Ran condescendingly, with a cold light in his eyes, and then said word by word: “I heard that you want to rebel?”
