Chapter 2427 What Is the Army?

Gu Qi gained Tudou's friendship and felt that she was unique in the capital. Then she went home drunk and was asked to drink sober soup by her elder brother.

"What do you think of Fang Han?"

Gu Qi let out a wine belch, her eyes still a little dull: "Brother, Fang Han is steady and calm, and he doesn't do things in a hurry or impatiently."

"This is what the eldest son looks like."

Gu Han glanced at Gu Qi and saw that his eyes did not dodge, so he said: "Once your Majesty wants to attack your relatives, Xing Hebo will be the vanguard. Do you understand?"

Gu Qi shook her head. Gu Han felt that his brother would be in a lot of trouble if he inherited the Hou Mansion.

He had to explain in detail: "When Uncle Xinghe takes action, he and Xunqi are mortal enemies, and if our family is close to him, it will bring disaster to Chiyu, so I have to be careful as a brother."

Gu Qi felt that her eldest brother was too hesitant in doing things, so she said, "If Xing Hebo wants to find allies among his relatives, can't he find them? But who have you seen him look for in these years? Brother, you just think too much."

"You didn't see how fierce Fang Han was at that time. He was more than a year younger than me, but he actually dared to rush into battle with his servants. When he was intercepted later, he even followed Xing Hebo to rush into the battle. Brother, don't underestimate people. "

Seeing Gu Qi's agitated expression, Gu Han sighed and said, "What's rare is that I didn't take revenge afterward. That's all. The word has been spread. From now on, just stay close to Fang Han."

Gu Qi got permission and went to find Tudou.

After arriving at Fangjiazhuang, they learned that Tudou had followed Fang Xing to the military camp.

…

The shouts of killing rang out all day long in the camp of Jubaoshan Guards, and the sergeants lined up in formation to practice bayonet fighting.

Lin Qun'an said proudly: "Uncle, the newly formed Qinglong Guard and White Tiger Guard over there were taught by our people."

The Ming Dynasty established two new firearms guards, and together with the Jubaoshan Guard, there were already five firearms guards.

The Shenji Battalion, which is a strategic reserve force, is not included in the calculation, otherwise the number of firearms troops would be shocking.

"Don't be too proud. The backbone of those two health centers are all martial arts students. Our people used to only provide practical experience."

Behind Fang Xing were Tudou and Ping An. He often brought his two children here before, so everyone didn't think much about it.

"kill!"

On the school grounds, they stood up and shouted, thrusting forward with force with their muskets. Their murderous aura made Tudou and Ping An envious when they saw him.

"This is the evil spirit of a hundred battles. When facing us, our opponents who are close to us can hardly stand, so the army must have spirit! Once it loses its spirit, it will not be far from being a ruffian."

"Look at this veteran."

Fang Xing pointed to the sergeant standing in front of a queue of hundreds of households and said: "He lost his right arm, so he should have retreated, but he refused to retreat. He begged to stay in the army and use his experience to teach a generation." Sergeant, do you know why?"

Tudou saw the veteran standing there, staring keenly at the movements of the sergeants in the queue. If he occasionally found a problem, he rushed in, then kicked the erring sergeant with his feet, and pointed out his mistakes with his remaining left hand.

"One more mistake and lunch will be halved!"

The veteran's voice was loud. Even though he saw Fang Xing, Lin Qun'an and other generals here, he was still delivering a message viciously.

"The military only respects the strong. The stronger you are, the more people are willing to follow you, so this is why promotion is based on military merit."

Fang Xing was warning his two sons: "If you rely on your status to become an official, you can do it as a civilian official, but you must not do it in the military. That will destroy the Great Wall!"

Lin Qun'an asked Fang Xing with his eyes, but Fang Xing did not give an answer.

The array drill later was shocking. Rows of sergeants rotated and then simulated firing.

Tudou and Ping An watched with excitement, and when they were about to watch the drill below, Fang Xing led them out of the military camp.

The father and son wandered all the way. When they saw the building from a distance, Tudou said in surprise: "Dad, this is the Martyrs' Shrine."

This was the first time Tudou and Ping An came to the Martyrs’ Shrine. When they got off their horses and walked to the door,

They were all infected by the solemn atmosphere.

There was a constant flow of people inside and outside the door, most of them looking sad.

"These are relatives who come to visit us every day. Except for official sacrifices, people are allowed to come in and out at other times."

There were two tall sergeants standing outside the door. They were covered in armor, with only a pair of eyes exposed. The two of them stood outside holding the hilts of their knives, and a chilling aura suddenly filled the air.

Fang Xing entered the gate with his two children. A row of Taoist priests were standing on the side. These were the guiding Taoist priests. If anyone couldn't find the place or didn't understand the rules, they could come here to ask.

Since the beginning of the preparations for the construction of the Chung Martyrs' Shrine, the government and the opposition have made many suggestions on the candidates to be in charge of sacrifices, and various schools have got involved.

Groups of people from outside the city appeared in the capital, and many people in the capital began to believe in certain sects.

During this period, there were various complications, but in the end the emperor made the decision to use Zhengyi.

There were some things here that were not suitable for outsiders, so Fang Xing took another look at the Taoist priests and felt relieved when he saw that their expressions were solemn and not slick.

"This is the emperor's royal pen."

As soon as you enter, there is a stone tablet with Zhu Zhanji's own handwriting on it.

"The soul has returned to protect our family and country."

Tudou read it out in a low voice, and then followed Fang Xing inside.

Entering a main hall, the smell of incense is first of all, and then the densely arranged tablets make people feel awe-inspiring.

"Many of the tablets enshrined here are soldiers of the Jubao Mountain Guard."

Amid the smoke, Fang Xing took three incense sticks from the Taoist priest standing nearby, lit them, then gently waved them to extinguish the flames, bowed three times, and finally inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Tu Dou and Ping An followed suit, and Fang Xing took them out.

Outside the hall, they saw a man in his twenties escorted by two servants.

The man walked hurriedly, and when he saw Fang Xing and his son dodging nearby, he smiled and continued to walk in.

Fang Xing had just taken two steps with the child when the man stopped and turned back, then walked over quickly and bowed and asked, "Are you meeting Uncle Xinghe in person?"

Fang Xing looked him up and down, and seeing that he was dressed in plain clothes and looked sincere, he nodded.

The man immediately bowed and said, "Shang Hui meets Uncle Xinghe."

"Shang Hui?"

Fang Xing was stunned for a moment, and the man looked up and said, "My father's taboo name is Yi."

Shang Yi?

Fang Xing immediately thought of Shang Yi, who had saved the day, and asked, "Are you the son of Commander Shang?"

A servant behind Shang Hui showed dissatisfaction, and hesitated to speak, but did not say it.

Shang Hui nodded and said, "It's me."

Fang Xing asked, "You have been in your hometown. When did you come to Beijing? But has His Majesty made any arrangements?"

Shang Hui's expression was a little more relaxed, and he said, "I just arrived in Beijing and just came out of the palace. His Majesty said that I should be settled in Beijing, and then rest for a few days before preparing to study martial arts."

Fang Xing nodded and said with relief, "This is a good thing. In the war between Daming and Ha Lie, your father was a pillar of the army, and it was widely circulated in the army. You come from a loyal family, so you must do your best and don't embarrass your father."

Shang Hui bowed and listened to the teachings. Fang Xing saw that the man who looked like a servant on the right was getting more and more dissatisfied, so he smiled and said, "You are also the Earl of Ningchang now, so you must not be too complacent."

This was a subtle way for Shang Hui to keep a low profile in Beijing.

Shang Hui was grateful and said he would visit him later.

After leaving the Martyrs' Shrine, Ping An said, "Dad, Shang Hui's servants seem a little dissatisfied! Maybe they think you are not on equal footing with Shang Hui."

Fang Xing stood at the side of the gate, watching people coming and going, and was absent-minded for a moment.

He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "What prestige does a title without military merit have? If he can't understand this, I will naturally stay away from him in the future."

Potato said, "Dad, I think that Earl Ningchang is very polite and humble, but the servants at home are not well disciplined."

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "When Shang Yi died in the war, Shang Hui was only more than ten years old. He must have some discomfort when he was suddenly made an Earl, but he will get better slowly."

It is rare for a family that suddenly becomes rich to calm down immediately.

Fang Xing saw that Shang Hui's attitude was not bad, so he was willing to let him visit the Fang family later.
