If you mention it, no one can say anything is wrong.

There are new generals in the army, and they need to be well cultivated. It will not be a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty to have more generals in the Ming Dynasty, for the court, for the world, and for us."

Xu Huizu's words made all the meritorious generals in the Governor's Mansion fall silent.

If we really follow what he said, this would be tantamount to asking these people present to voluntarily give up their children to inherit military positions in the future.

A family whose children are incompetent will probably just rest on the merits of their ancestors and become an idle and meritorious rich man.

When Tang Li saw that everyone was hesitant, he coughed quietly.

Then he looked a little evil and said: "Everyone, you are my uncles and old friends of my family. There is something I want to say."

Cao Zhen immediately smiled and said: "Whatever you say, it's all our own people behind closed doors. We don't want to be like civil servants."

Tang Li nodded and smiled, and then his face darkened: "Just a few words. From now on, we people should not think about the past glory of following His Majesty in battles in the north and south, fighting in bloody battles at the beginning of the founding of the country.
p>

In the past two years, both His Majesty and His Highness have been very kind to me and others. Now half of the land in Jiaozhi Road belongs to my family. Even if we don't do anything from now on, we will have no worries about food and clothing.

From now on, if you want to inherit the glory of your ancestors, you have to show your true skills, go to the martial arts hall and go to the army to earn it yourself. Don't let the incompetent children lead the troops in the army and lead the soldiers to the front of the battle.

In the end, we were defeated and returned. What we lost was everyone’s face, as well as the face of His Majesty and His Highness.”

"This is how it should be."

Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, who had always been tactless, muttered silently at this moment.

Tang Li nodded and looked at Xu Huizu, both of them with thoughts in their eyes.

What Taisun said in the martial arts hall was clearly to enable the martial arts students to unite and coordinate, so that in the future they can work as one in the army, coordinate their affairs well, and be able to take on big responsibilities.

Secretly, but it is said that in the future, as long as a person with talent can also rise from a soldier to the position of commander-in-chief.

On meritocracy.

Even if you are just a member of the Qianhu family, as long as you dare to command, be able to serve as a general, and be able to serve as a general and commander, you will be given this opportunity.

…………

"Opportunities are for those who are prepared. I think they should be able to understand what you are saying about the martial arts hall."

In the small study room of the East Palace, Zhu Gaochi whispered, looking at Zhu Yunxi who was writing and drawing behind the desk.

Finally, his eyes were attracted by a huge golden open cup beside the book desk.

The whole beaker is made of the finest gold, smelted and cast.

If I remember correctly, the gold in this cup was mined from the Japanese Treasure Island and transported to the sky.

The entire cup is two feet high, three inches wide, seven inches wide at the mouth, half an inch thick at the mouth, and weighs more than ten kilograms.

The body of the cup is engraved with beasts, stars, and celestial constellations.

Above the pedestal at the bottom of the cup, there is a line of small words engraved on it.

Bravely champion the three armies and be the best in the world.

Zhu Yunxi finally finished writing and drawing at this time. When he raised his head, he saw Xiaopang staring at the golden trophy.

Then he smiled slightly: "How is it? Today, the Palace Construction Bureau just made it and sent it over. It weighs sixteen kilograms."

Zhu Gaochi laughed twice: "Is this going to be awarded to the winning team in the next Cuju competition?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "That's the case."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi looked at Xiaopang expectantly.

Zhu Gaochi looked embarrassed: "It's too vulgar..."

Zhu Yunxi paused and rolled his eyes: "We are all in the military. Why should we be so elegant? Holding such a big trophy in our hands, everyone will know that it is the winning team. Besides, I will let someone else take the cup."

After measuring it, it is enough to hold five or six kilograms of wine. It is most appropriate to drink it after winning the championship."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand, but it was difficult to deny the authenticity of this sentence.

Those reckless men in the army will get excited when they see such a trophy. They will definitely win the championship bravely and use this trophy to drink wine.

He shook his head, turned his eyes, and continued: "The message has been passed down to the Wushuang Hall. The Governor's Office of the Fifth Army plus the direct military guards, there will be a team of Cuju from each side of the six directions, and the time is set to be ten days from now.

The scene is the battle between the rear army governor's mansion and the superior military guards."

"The Governor's Office of the Hou Army and the Imperial Guards have always disliked each other, so it would be better to let them start the fight."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi handed the written charter to Xiaopang: "These are the rules I have compiled recently and will be distributed to them in advance."

Zhu Gaochi took it, looked at it carefully, and said softly: "You want them to play for fifteen games?"

"The team with the most points wins, but each team has to play a game with other teams. There are only a few teams now. If the handicap can be expanded to 32 teams, we can draw lots and win each group.

Let’s compete.”

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Xiaopang, and excerpted the World Cup competition system from later generations, and after making slight changes, told the whole story.

It's better to let those energetic martial arts students compete on the court than to have them have chaotic private fights.

Zhu Gaochi nodded, stuffed the regulations about the Cuju competition into his sleeve, and then silently looked at Zhu Yunxi who had lowered his head to write and draw again.

He hesitated a little, but still asked in a low voice: "I heard that someone has been doing business in the city recently."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi stopped and looked at Zhu Yunxi who was still writing and drawing quietly.

Although he continued: "I heard that they have now reached more than 80,000 taels of silver. When the first battle between the Imperial Guards' Mansion and the Imperial Guard begins, it is estimated that there will be no less than 200,000 taels of silver."<

/p>

"Two hundred thousand taels?" Zhu Yunxi finally put down the pen in his hand, looked at Xiaopang with surprise and shock on his face, and then frowned and said: "Who are those people outside?"

"Both sides are about the same." Zhu Gaochi curled his lips, but his eyes never moved away from Zhu Yunxi's face: "The odds of the Governor's Mansion of the Hou Army are lower, three points less than those of the Imperial Guards."

"So, there are more people who can defeat the governor of the rear army." Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly.

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "The news about the martial arts hall has spread this time, and even the people from the rear army governor's house who survived to the end are known to the outside world."

Zhu Gaochi smiled, the people of Yingtian City were always the most well-informed, as if this city had no secrets.

Then he added: "Most of the military students in the Hou Army Governor's Mansion were selected from Jiubian. These people were stationed outside the Jiubian Fortress and fought against the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty. Their personal bravery was probably unparalleled by the imperial court.

However, Shangzhi's military guards are also considered to be the elite of the army, and they are the emperor's personal soldiers. All the officers and soldiers in the army are selected from the Tianxia Guards and should not be taken lightly.

But now, most people are more optimistic about the Houjun Governor's Mansion."

Zhu Yunxi's face was calm, so that Zhu Gaochi couldn't see anything strange.

Then Zhu Yunxi said softly: "In this way, it can be considered that I support the people twice as much as the army."

Hear the words.

Zhu Gaochi raised his eyebrows: "Actually... no common people participated in this handicap..."

"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi asked with a strong curiosity on his face: "Aren't the common people participating?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "Who knows how this handicap could be? We only accept bets from merchants, gentry, and nobles. We will not accept bets from ordinary people, and they will be beaten away."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi stared deeply at Zhu Yunxi: "Moreover, there is only one handicap in the entire Yingtian City. At first, other companies opened the handicap, but no one survived for half an hour before being cleared by Jin Yiwei and Yingtian Mansion.

”

When Zhu Yunxi saw Xiaopang, he shook his head and denied it bluntly: "Don't look at me, I didn't do this, and I don't care about the money."

"Really?"

Zhu Gaochi asked lightly.

Don't bet on ordinary people who don't have two taels of silver. Just because of this, Zhu Gaochi felt that he could reduce the range of the handicap to a very small range.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "I have to go to the prison in the next few days. If nothing happens, you can go and do the tax office."

Zhu Gaochi frowned, glanced at Zhu Yunxi, and finally cupped his hands and left quietly.

After a long time, Zhu Yunxi dried the ink on the paper in front of him, put it into a wooden box beside him, and then sat on the chair behind him and spoke softly.

"Tianmai."

In the small study room that was originally empty except for him, Tian Mai quietly walked to the desk.

"Your Highness."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the other party with a smile on his face: "Pass this on and increase the odds of the Houjun Governor's Mansion by another five points."
