Sure enough, the accuracy of the shelling was reduced from round to round. The three-pound gun shot to the sixth round. The accuracy had dropped to about ten percent. The six-pound gun had just gone through four rounds. The twelve-pound gun also shot three rounds. A total of nearly a thousand shells were fired. Yan Yingyuan put away the orange flag. The entire artillery battalion also stopped firing.

Although the artillery battalion stopped the artillery bombardment, the feeling of the earth shaking just now made the people on the stage unable to come back to their senses for a long time. The power of hundreds of artillery fired together was so huge that it was not something that could be blocked by human power.

Yan Yingyuan lowered the orange flag, replaced it with two blue and purple flags, and waved it forward and the drum sounded. The two guards moved in the direction of the artillery firing just now. The neat footsteps echoed in the wilderness.

"kill!"

The spearmen shouted in unison. The spear in their hands pierced forward. The cold light shone. It seemed that even a mountain in front would be pierced by them.

"shooting!"

A burst of smoke from Lin Wei dispersed. A huge gunshot sounded.

Although the drills of musketeers and spearmen were not as loud as those of the artillery camp, the uniform movements of tens of thousands of people shocked people even more. The civil servants watched the excitement, and the generals were amazed. Qi Jiguang's military secretary recorded that an elite infantry would stop and complete the team every twenty steps to ensure that the formation was not messy. However, this team marched hundreds of steps in a row. In the middle, it also experienced fire and steering. It was still neatly maintained.

The Yulin Guard trained by Qi Jiguang on that day can do this. In fact, it is simple to put it bluntly. One is to guide the soldiers forward by the sound of drums. The other is to promote literacy education in the army. Since many soldiers just joined the army, they can't even tell the left and right. Until now, most soldiers can recognize three or five hundred Chinese characters. Whenever there is a deviation during the march, the grassroots officers in front can adjust themselves with various commands. The soldiers can also fully understand the commands of the officers.

Although Qi Jiguang was strict in training troops, in essence, most of the soldiers he led were illiterate. The soldiers only knew how to execute orders mechanically. The slightly complicated commands were difficult to understand immediately. It is not surprising that there was a difference with the Yulin Guard.

The entire exercise lasted for more than half a day before it ended. The school ground was filled with smoke. The Yulin Guards showed the shooting ability of artillery in the emperor and various civil and military ministers. The coordinated combat between infantry and artillery. The offensive ability of the single battalion Yulin Guards. The ability of the entire army to attack together...

Such an exercise is almost a big battle. The gunpowder consumed by firing ground shells, bullets, and gunpowder is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. It can also be said to be an expensive performance. The result of the exercise makes it impossible for everyone to say. Such a strong army, spending millions of taels a year is worth the money.

On the way back, some officials were still awake. Some officials were flirting with each other. In the past, they knew that the Yulin Guard was very strong. He could defeat the Tartars with similar numbers in just half a year of training. But how strong they were. Today, there was finally a clear concept. It was Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Cai’s uncle and nephew. It was the first time they saw the Yulin Guard’s real swords and guns exercises. They had never thought that an army could do this before. They had contacted the Manchu Iron Cavalry. There was indeed a strong momentum when they galloped. But compared with the team in front of them, they gave people a messy feeling.

No wonder the Yulin Guard fought with the Manchus to win. When the news came that the Manchus went south and was completely wiped out by the court, anyone who had seen the Manchus thought it was fake news released by the court. They even guessed whether the emperor had passed away. Now it seems that Manchus did not lose at all.

The Zheng family not only has tens of thousands of athletes on the sea, but also tens of thousands of troops on the land. Compared with the number one in Asia on the sea, the strength on the land is of course far inferior. However, the brothers and others thought that tens of thousands of troops on the land can ensure safety. But now it seems that if the court wants to attack Fujian, it may only be necessary to send a battalion of Yulin Guards. Zheng Hongkui thought sadly.

"Master Zheng, the emperor is welcome." Just as Zheng Hongkui was riding on the horse and was thinking about it, a guard came to him and shouted.

Zheng Hongkui was stunned and immediately reacted: "I obey the order."

He hurriedly turned his horse's head and rode his horse to the emperor. The empress met with the emperor."

Wang Fu rode on a pure white horse. Now he was very proficient in riding skills. There was no problem running with all his strength. At this time, he just rode his horse slowly and asked with a smile: "Zheng Aiqing. How is the exercise of Yulin Guard today?"

"Return to the Emperor. The power of the Yulin Guards is so powerful. I have heard since ancient times that I am indeed the most powerful army in the world."

I also think so. I heard that Annanbo was sick again. I don’t know when the sick body will be cured. Speaking of which, I have never met Annanbo since I ascended the throne. I miss Annanbo very much. I don’t know if I sent a battalion of Yulin Guards to Fujian to urge him. Will Annanbo’s illness be cured?”

Hongkui was shocked. He was thinking in his heart whether the Fujian army could block a battalion of Yulin Guards. He didn't expect that he would be afraid of anything. If the court really sent a battalion of Yulin Guards into Fujian, the Zheng family's foundation in Fujian would be over. He forced a smile and said, "The emperor is joking. People will get sick by eating grains and cereals. How can the army treat it?"

If the body is sick, the army will naturally not be cured. But if it is a heart disease, the army may be cured without medicine." Wang Fu said with a smile on his face.

Zheng Hongkui knew that the more he could not explain the matter, he was getting worse and worse. He had to shut up and said nothing. But he had a thought in his mind. What should he do if the emperor really ordered Yu Linwei to go to Fujian? He just thought for a long time but couldn't find a feasible solution. After a while, a large area of ​​Zheng Hongkui's back was already wet.

My dear, are you very hot?" Wang Fu asked in surprise.

"Go back to the emperor. The emperor is the emperor. The sun is the son of heaven. I am not hot around the emperor?" Zheng Hongkui was wise and replied quickly. He laughed. Zheng Hongkui was a little anxious. He didn't want to circle around Zheng Hongkui. You tell Annan Bo. I will see Annan Bo to Nanjing within a month. If Annan Bo's illness does not heal, I might have to go to Fujian to visit Annan Bo in person."

Zheng Hongkui was shocked. It was amazing to go to a battalion of Yulin Guards, let alone the emperor led the army himself. His face was helpless: "How can the emperor run thousands of miles for a minister? If this is true, the brother of the Wei minister will be very guilty. The emperor rests at ease. I will definitely pass the emperor's will to my brother and urge him to enter the capital immediately."

"Your dear, please tell Annanbo. I have no other intention to recruit him into the capital this time. I used to kill Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo was forced to do so. These two people only had a large army. They only knew how to fear the enemy and avoid war. They were domineering and exploiting the people in the country. If I don't kill them, how can I be worthy of the loyal and brave soldiers who died on the battlefield over the years, and how can I be worthy of the people in the Ming Dynasty? Annanbo is different from them. He has been pursuing pirates over the years and allowing the Ming Dynasty to be harassed by Heqing. He will no longer be harassed by pirates. Duke Jingguo was once as domineering. I am not trusting and begging him. If anyone can make great contributions, I will never be stingy with the rewards of the Duke and the Duke."

The emperor's words were a bit heart-warming. Zheng Hongkui didn't know how much he could believe. Perhaps if the elder brother could hand over the entire Fujian and sea foundation to the court, it would be very likely that the position of Duke and Marquis would be. He just exchanged such a foundation for a Duke and Marquis. Is it worth it? "Your dear can surrender."

Zheng Hongkui was like being pardoned. He always felt an invisible pressure by the emperor. I really don’t know why there was such an alternative among the kings of the Ming Dynasty who had been a pig farming place. Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing must have regretted it before their death. Without the support of the four towns, King Fu would probably not be able to ascend the throne. Unexpectedly, they personally chose someone who killed their lives to become the emperor.

Looking at Zheng Hongkui's shaking figure immediately, Wang Fu felt relaxed. This was the result of mastering his strength. If Zheng Zhilong refused to come to Nanjing, he had no choice but to make up his mind to eradicate the Zheng family.

Back to the queue, Zheng Hongkui's face was extremely pale. Zheng Cai was shocked: "Second Uncle, the emperor just asked you to go over and talk about what happened? Why do you look like this?"

Zheng Hongkui shrewd: "Let's talk about it when you go back."

Zheng Cai nodded with doubts. When he returned to the city, it was almost dark. The emperor went straight back to the palace. The ministers also returned to their homes. Zheng Hongkui was named Jinglubo when the emperor ascended the throne. Naturally, he also had his own mansion in the city. When he returned to Jinglubo's mansion, Zheng Hongkui was still wondering whether it was worth it. Zheng Cai couldn't wait to pull Zheng Hongkui to ask what had happened just now.

Zheng Hongkui sighed and told the emperor about the conversation between the emperor and him. Zheng Cai has always been irritable. He was furious when he heard it: "Second uncle, you must not let the uncle come to Nanjing. Otherwise, if the emperor turns against him, our Zheng family will be finished." The emperor will lead the army to invite him in person. You have also seen today's exercise. How can we stop Fujian's troops? Besides, Fujian is still under the rule of the court. If the emperor takes it seriously, the army is under the brink of wealth and honor. How can anyone know that our Zheng family tie up all our Zheng family to the emperor? By then, our Zheng family will be finished."

Zheng Hongkui's rhetoric left Zheng Cai speechless. Although the army in Fujian was completely raised by the Zheng family for money, in the face of imperial power, how many people are really loyal to the Zheng family. Even if they can all be loyal to the Zheng army, they can't stop a tiger-and-wolf army like Yulinwei.

"Then we don't want Fujian. Anyway, we have a boat. At worst, we can go into the sea and become pirates again." Zheng Cai said angrily.

Zheng Hongkui shook his head: "Forget it. This matter is of great importance. Let me leave it to my elder brother for my own decision."
