Chapter 69 The shock of Zhu Guowei
When Yu Canghai was ridiculing Li Yu, Liu Kui and others had already left the house, and the chariot's stool had been placed beside the chariot. The guards of the state lifted up the chariot curtain and slowly got down from the horse stool. Fortunately for Li Yu, there was no such thing. He stepped on the horse stool and jumped directly from the shaft into the ground.
"Hurry up and get a big bowl of food for the old man Yu, let him eat as much as he can, and then go out to work. The master hasn't said anything about eating yet, but he first complained that he was hungry. A vicious slave like this should be used sparingly in the future. If this guy hadn't insisted on following me for free, who would have used this useless guy?"
The old man seemed to be tired of arguing with Li Yu, so he offered a silent resistance and said "drive..." and drove the carriage straight to the back door of the prince's residence, where the carriages and horses were kept.
Zhu Guowei shook his head helplessly, knowing that this was their usual joke and didn't care, but when this happened, he was in a good mood.
"Greetings to all the marshals!" When they saw the guards coming out, Liu Kui and the scholar who were waiting in front of the door came forward to salute, but the guards didn't care and waved it off.
After seeing the ceremony, Liu Kui stepped forward and said to Li Yu: "Young Master, according to your instructions, we are currently training in the morning. All personnel are in the training ground, but..."
"But what?" Seeing Liu Kui hesitate to speak, Li Yu urged him!
"Young Master, the training is less than half, and half of the people can't stand it. Some of them left last night, and some of them did not get up this morning. They didn't listen to the orders and got up. Erhan beat a few people. Those people were wronged. Not only did they no longer By joining the recruitment process of the Prince's Mansion, he even threatened to accuse the young master of your lax control, allowing your slaves to act cruelly, and whipping them wantonly. I want to come and argue with you!"
The scholar beside Liu Kui explained, and Li Yu chuckled: "Why, this training has just begun, and some people can't stand it? It's a good thing to leave, to remove impurities and only keep the elite. Our Prince's Palace is not a charity, and we don't support them." waste!"
Li Yu chatted with Xiucai and Liu Kui, and entered the gate of the Prince's Mansion directly. At this time, Chen Gonghe, who had come after hearing the news, also rushed over with broken steps, and greeted Zhu Guowei and Li Yu respectively.
"Mr. Chen, are you ready for the meal?" Li Yu spoke unquestionably, speaking quickly and firmly.
"Your Highness, you can rest assured. The meals have been prepared by Xiaoqing and others. In addition, uniforms for the training students have also been ordered. They will be delivered by noon today. Weapons smelting, Team Leader Liu... "
Talking about the preparation of weapons, Liu Kui continued: "As for the weapons, Young Master, I have already started to collect pig iron and ingredients. Currently, I have a novel idea, which is to integrate the iron stones in the underground passage that day into the forging of military spurs. Among them, this not only increases the hardness, but also increases the sharpness and flexibility. According to my estimation, if the military thorn is added with that thing, it will definitely be much more durable."
"Oh, I remember. You said that when we entered the underground passage, we encountered the blocked hard stone wall. Later, you used the Lingquan Sword to split it. That thing can also be added to the forged military thorns. ?" Li Yu's eyes lit up and he thought, in this era of cold weapons, the quality of this weapon is the key to victory or defeat.
This Liu Kui was originally a blacksmith. His father was a blacksmith. Since he was a child, Liu Kui has been helping his father with the blacksmithing work. He is more or less familiar with the forging skills of iron tools. Now he works with Li Yu, and this skill But it came in handy. Coupled with Liu Ji's Zhiyang body and clever mind, he finally figured out how to improve the military assassin.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, thank you for your hard work. We will talk about Liu Kui's forging of military thorns later. First, let's go see how those rookies are doing now and see who wants to argue with me."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the martial arts training ground in the back garden. Zhu Guowei saw Li Yu who was in a hurry. As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he saw that he was very busy, as if he had to prepare for something recently, and he was not shy about it. In front of him, he talked about forging weapons. This kind of privately made weapons was strictly prohibited by the laws of the Great Shen Dynasty. Otherwise, there would be a risk of beheading.
Zhu Guowei didn't say anything, he just followed along, watching with his eyes and listening with his ears. Li Yu didn't mention it to him, and he couldn't ask him. But judging from such a tense situation, it seemed that he was eagerly preparing for something. , there was a hint of a storm coming, which made Zhu Guowei, who had just relaxed, start to feel a little nervous.
Li Yu's mansion is not like the mansions of other princes and nobles. Except for the pavilions and pavilions, it is still luxuriously decorated, and other flowers and plants have disappeared. After a few twists and turns, I walked through several courtyards with courtyards in between. I saw several young men serving as guards, all standing upright and motionless.
The clothes he wore were even more strange. They were all designed by Li Yu, imitating the field uniforms he wore in the army in his previous life. The upper body was a tights, the lower body was trousers with open legs, and below the knees were tight leggings and thick-soled cloth boots. The sides of the boots were There are also self-made military spurs inserted by Liu Kui and others, and the crossbows that are well-equipped in today's army are carried on the back. This kind of weapon is very lethal.
When the guards of the army who had been together for a long time saw the crossbows that no one was carrying, they knew that the development of them was expensive, and each one required a lot of money to make. Of course, this kind of crossbows was limited not only among the people, but also in the army. Supply, because the cost is too high, not everyone can afford it.
Currently, the Yellow, Blue, and Red Royal Guards are also equipped with crossbows, but the limited supply is only for the Scout Guards, and the others are not equipped. This is mainly due to the fact that the Scout Guards often have to go deep into the enemy's territory in order to obtain military information on the enemy. The military has the highest mortality rate and is the most dangerous branch of the military. Therefore, in order to preserve its strength, crossbows with longer range and precise targets are specially equipped.
As they walked past each person, the guards of the various countries took a closer look and found that the crossbows they were equipped with were quite different from those in the army. The general crossbows fired one arrow at first, but later they took into account the lethality of one arrow. Small, it was improved to two arrows and three arrows. However, when the guards saw that the crossbows on these people had more than a dozen arrows jammed, the arrows were much smaller, but they could fire more than ten arrows in a row. The power of killing the enemy can be imagined. If it is developed and mass-produced and used in the army, the result is no longer what I imagined.
Zhu Guowei remained calm, but his heart was filled with waves. He thought, every time he saw this guy, something new would appear. Li Yu, who had felt very mysterious from the beginning, could not see through this guy more and more now. , not to mention his weird and unpredictable martial arts, not to mention his calculating mind, just the changes in his private armed youth task force, you can see how many secrets Li Yu still hides.
After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at the back garden of Prince Li Yu's Mansion. It sounded like a leisurely, elegant and relaxing place. But when we arrived, Zhu Guowei was greatly surprised. When he looked into the venue again, he saw A scene that shocked him came into view.
In the entire back garden, many of the fettered pavilions and pavilions were demolished, and there was no elegant place for flowers and plants. After reconstruction, a large flat and open space was expanded, which seemed to be about as high as the surrounding circular walls.
The top of the towering wall is also covered with iron caltrops and hanging iron thorns. You don’t need to climb over it, but you can see from a distance how difficult it is to cross this wall.
Outside the wall, there are pools of water that irrigate the back garden. They are all made into a moat shape and surround the entire martial arts training ground. Not to mention that no one is interested in this place. Even if someone wants to come in from here, he will have to pay.
The cost was huge, not to mention the barbs on the wall, but also to cross the more than ten feet wide river outside the wall, which was also quite laborious.
The entire martial arts training ground is oval in shape, and is dotted with various wooden stakes, obstacle barriers, high-altitude swing bridges, mire, 100-meter speed track, various stone piers, and homemade barbells. There are also targets for archery practice on the sidelines.
There were wooden figures practicing fighting, scarecrows practicing assassination, as well as weapons of various colors, such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, all shining coldly. The guards were shocked when they saw these.
These configurations were more elaborate than the ones he commanded at the school, covering almost all the martial arts skills involved. Seeing these national guards look at Li Yu deeply, needless to say, just from these dazzling things
Weapon configuration can reveal a lot of things.
Surrounding the martial arts training ground were no less than five hundred people who were training on foot. When you saw how sweaty everyone was, you knew they had been running for some time. Among them were many people from Li Yuyuan's youth task force who were running at a relaxed and steady pace.
.The man is still okay, but the guards of the state also saw a group of warblers and swallows, and women in light gauze skirts were also running unsteadily.
All of them were disheveled, with messy buns, breathing heavily, and running hard. Some were covering their abdomens with one hand, gritting their teeth and insisting on moving forward. Some were already strolling or walking.
He stopped and bent down, his face was in extreme pain, and it seemed that he could no longer hold on.
Facing these people, Zhu Guowei also saw several people coming over and yelling at those who stopped and refused to run. Some even used whips and wooden sticks, which made Zhu Guowei shudder.
, thinking that these are the future backbone of the Great Shen Dynasty. They are the emperor's disciples, the scholars and students of the Imperial College. This prince Li Yu actually treats them like this. Not to mention the theory of complaint, it would be nothing if it were him.
You dare to be so unscrupulous, what are you doing?
The state guards had heard about the open recruitment in the Prince's Mansion, but what they didn't expect was that the emperor's proud men who were recruited would receive such outrageous treatment. How is this any different from the treatment of enslaved people?
What does this guy Li Yu want to do?
Seeing Li Yu, Zhu Guowei and others coming over, the scholars, supervisors and schoolgirls running in the field did not stop. Due to inertia or extreme exhaustion, all of them were a little confused. The young men under Li Yu
Under their urging, they could only keep running and moving forward without paying any attention to the appearance of Li Yu and the guards.
However, there was a group of people in the field who were also in a state of embarrassment. They had obviously gone through training in the field. In the end, they really couldn't run or resist this inhumane practice. They told a few teenagers from Li Yu's task force about this.
Judging from the confrontation between the two parties, it was no longer a while. But compared to the people who were still running in the field, the situation was much better.
Regarding the arrival of Li Yu and others, perhaps these people were too focused on the theory with the young man from Li Yu's task force, so they did not notice it and kept shouting about something.
