When Gu Xiu heard the general's call, he immediately stepped forward with bright eyes, knelt down in front of Xu Da and said excitedly.
"General, please ask the general to accept students as his disciples."
Gu Chen looked at his son kneeling down and felt sour and uncomfortable.
You brat, I haven't even kneeled down to myself a few times at home.
well.
In ancient times, this was the way it was to become a teacher. Once you were a teacher, you were always a father.
He understands.
Xu Da looked at the fat white baby in front of him, a smile flashed in his eyes.
It's a pity that he is the son of a civil servant, and his father doesn't want the child to take the road of martial arts, otherwise he will have to train him well.
If he is promising and becomes a young general, he will be able to charm many beauties in the future.
Xu Da leaned on the chair, put his fists on his legs and looked at the child.
"My dear, if you want to be our apprentice, you can't just kneel down. You have to pass the test first, and then we can talk about anything else."
"how?"
Since you are not joining the army, there is no need to engage in such nonsense.
"Student understands, general, how to test?"
Gu Xiu nodded his head very hard. He had heard a lot about the general's deeds from His Highness King Yan.
This is the talent that can enable Wang Baobao to annihilate an army of 100,000 people.
Such a person is definitely not someone who can become a disciple casually.
You still have to work harder to make the general take notice of you.
"Okay, let's talk about the rules first."
Xu Da looked at the little man in front of him and began to formulate devil training.
"Before you pass our test, you cannot leave the palace for even half a step. Get up as soon as the bell rings at the beginning of the morning. I will give you half an hour to dress and wash your face."
"After the second bell rings, we want to see you dressed and standing in front of us, and then start practicing basic skills, such as horse stance, stance, etc."
"There is only a quarter of an hour to eat at noon, and a quarter of an hour to catch up on sleep after eating. Those who lead soldiers in war must be illiterate, otherwise they will only be mere pawns."
"So, after you get up from your nap, you have to read and write. You can't have dinner until the end of Youshi. After dinner, you can continue to walk and stand, and you can't go to bed until the end of Xushi."
"You can't ask for leave, you can't look for opportunities to be lazy, and you can't complain about being tired. If you commit any of these violations, we won't accept you."
"If you can persist for three months, we will officially accept you as our disciple."
This is really hard work for a four-year-old baby.
Therefore, Xu Da almost dared to conclude that this boy would not be able to persist.
If he can really persevere, it means he is a general material.
Then, just accept it!
What else can you do?
It's not Xu Da's style to keep his word.
Not to mention Gu Xiu, even Gu Chen felt his head hurt when he heard this schedule.
At Xiao Xiuzi's age, he is actually not very good at reading.
After all, I got up at the beginning of the morning to study, and I could still sleep a little longer on the way to school.
You can also sleep for half an hour at noon, and there is no need to stay up late reading at night.
But practicing martial arts is much harder. You can only sleep for fifteen minutes at noon?
Didn't he get picked up right after he fell asleep?
How miserable!
"But General." After hearing this, Gu Xiu raised his head and asked with some confusion: "You also come from a poor background. You didn't even know how to read. How can you command the three armies?"
Why is it that the general's generation can't do it if he doesn't study, but he can't do it if he doesn't study.
"Hey, Mr. Gu, this boy of yours looks like the son of the censor."
Is this considered a compliment?
A smile appeared on Gu Xiu's face, but Xu Da's next words made him unable to laugh.
"When marching and fighting, the most important thing is to obey, not to ask questions and questions. It is a crime for you to question military orders. If you are a first offender, I will only punish you with a slap."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yungong stood up seriously with a ruler in hand.
"Gu Xiu, are you convinced?"
He didn't expect that he would be beaten on his first day here, so Gu Xiu naturally refused to accept it.
"The students are dissatisfied. This is not in the military, so how can it be a military order?"
Isn't this bullying him because the child is ignorant?
Xu Da sat up, looked into Wazi's eyes, and answered seriously.
"Okay, let me tell you, if you want to learn kung fu from us, you must listen to us. If you don't obey, then you can find another master."
"Either one day, our identities will be reversed. I am here to learn Kung Fu and you are the master. Then you can ask whatever you want."
"We'll give you another chance. Will you accept the punishment or not?"
On the one hand, I was obsessed with learning kung fu, and on the other hand, I was painfully painful.
Gu Xiu wrinkled his face and hesitated for a long time, but finally slowly stretched out his hand.
"Students acknowledge their mistakes and students accept punishment."
It was so easy to get my father to let go, but now I am backing down.
He was afraid that he would never get another chance in this life, so he must seize this opportunity.
"Okay." Xu Da looked at his boss and ordered: "He just asked me one more question. If he makes a mistake after knowing it, he will be punished with an additional penalty, and he will be given three slaps."
What?
Gu Xiu looked at Xu Da in disbelief, how could this kind old man be so cruel?
Just add it if you want?
Xu Da tilted his head and calmly said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Gu Xiu immediately shook his head crazily. He stopped talking and said one more thing about doubling the number of boards, and then another one about how many boards would be added.
Fortunately, he could still tell the difference.
Gu Chen was quite satisfied with his son's performance. At least he didn't cry out or embarrass himself.
If a child wants to practice martial arts, he must live in the Duke of Wei's mansion and obey his arrangements.
Xu Yungong personally escorted him out and said warmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu. Brother Xiu lives in my house and I will take good care of him."
His younger brother Xu Zengshou was very good to the child and would often hug him when he was in Yingtian, even if he wasn't looking after Gu Chen, it saved his father's face.
For the sake of his younger brother, he wouldn't treat the child badly.
"Thank you, young master."
Gu Chen thanked him politely, looked at Xu Yungong who was humble and polite, and left.
He is also very stubborn. Isn't it good to follow his brother-in-law Zhu Di?
You have to hang out with that guy Zhu Yunwen.
If he hadn't been Empress Xu's biological brother, he probably wouldn't have lived until the fifth year of Yongle.
Moreover, Zhu Di has not yet reduced his title, allowing his glory to perish in the Ming Dynasty.
It can be seen that if this kiss can be done well, there will be some benefits.
But there is a prerequisite, you have to bet on the right thing.
Those like blue jade were peeled off and given to the King of Shu and his wife as a souvenir.
I believe that if Princess Shu was reborn, she would rather kill herself than marry into the Zhu family, right?
Gu Chen sent the annoying little boy away and started to engage in magic camp with Biao'er.
The Shenji Camp was an organization organized and operated by Zhu Di in the fifth year of Yongle.
During the Hongwu period, firearms and other weapons were manufactured by the Ordnance Bureau.
The Ordnance Bureau is also in charge of making halberds, knots, horns, gongs, knives, shields, bows and arrows and other military weapons. There are too many things involved and need to be studied.
Therefore, Gu Chen set up a separate firearms research laboratory in the Shenji Camp, which was dedicated to the study of firearms and nothing else.
The most commonly used firearm in the early years of Hongwu was the firegun, which was a tubular shooting firearm made of copper or iron. There were two main types of fireguns.
One is a handgun used by individual soldiers. In front of it is a slender cylindrical front chamber, which can place projectiles, and then there is an elliptical spherical medicine chamber, which can be loaded with gunpowder.
Each time it is used, first load the gunpowder, place the projectile, and then ignite the fire twist, relying on the power of the gunpowder explosion to impact the projectile.
Finally, it erupts out to kill the enemy. This is a hand-held gun.
Just post the picture.
The other type is the bowl-mouth blunderbuss, which is equivalent to a small cannon with a thicker front barrel and a larger medicine chamber. This type is usually placed on ships or at the top of a city.
During the Hongwu period, these two kinds of guns were widely used and very standard.
All the blunderbuss bodies are engraved with inscriptions, which include the name of the manufacturing bureau, specifications and weight, the title of the supervising official, the names of the instructors and military craftsmen, the date of manufacture, etc...
These two kinds of guns are actually limited in terms of speed, power, hit rate, etc., so the Ming Dynasty used both cold weapons and firearms.
But at this time, our weapons are still ahead of the world.
After Zhu Xiaosi ascended the throne and established the Shenji Camp, Ming Dynasty's firearms were pushed to another peak, so to speak.
Without the Shenji Battalion, it is not yet certain whether Yu Qian could defeat them.
