My father is Jiajing

Chapter 144 What is the Elite?

After the great victory at Huangyugou, Emperor Jiajing's confidence swelled again. He felt that the Tatars were nothing more than chickens and dogs, and could be destroyed with just a little effort.

So after discussing the current situation of the defense of the capital with Yan Song, Xu Jie, Ding Rukui and others for a while, Emperor Jiajing asked these people to withdraw.

It was at this time that the latest news about Zhu Zaigui's whereabouts sent back by Huang Jin also arrived.

When Emperor Jiajing saw Huang Jin's secret report saying that Zhu Zaigui had been safely evacuated to the vicinity of Qingshuitan to rest, he was in a very good mood, sweeping away the melancholy and anxiety of the previous night.

"I'm glad you're okay. Wait until Huang Jin brings you back, and I'll break your legs. You dared to do such a dangerous thing, and you even dared to confiscate the military power of the Fourth Guard Battalion. You're really asking for the best."

Emperor Jiajing scolded Zhu Zaigui to himself, but in fact he was still very concerned and worried in his heart.

However, after learning the news of Zhu Zaigui's safety, Emperor Jiajing felt much more at ease.

At this moment, he happily took another elixir, and then sat cross-legged on the golden cushion in the temple, and began to meditate and relax, recovering his energy after a night of hard work.

Huang Jin, who had received the news of Zhu Zaigui's location, did not hesitate or stop at all. He turned around and mounted his horse, leading a team of about a hundred imperial guards and hurried towards Qingshuitan.

He wanted to find Zhu Zaiqi as soon as possible and then bring Zhu Zaiqi back according to the order of Emperor Jiajing.

At this time, Zhu Zaigui, who had rested for two and a half hours, had recovered his spirit and physical strength. He stood up and looked at the 2,500 troops who had taken turns to rest, as well as the supplies delivered by Meng Chong himself.

Zhu Zaigui's mood suddenly became better. With these supplies, he could fight against the main force of Anda's bandits again.

When Meng Chong saw Zhu Zaigui stand up, he hurriedly trotted over to him and said with tears in his eyes, "Your Highness, you are finally awake. I was so scared."

Zhu Zaigui looked at the crying Meng Chong, then at the armor that didn't fit him very well, and stretched out his hand to press it, "Why are you crying? What do you mean by that? Are you hoping that I won't wake up?"

Meng Chong's head was shaking like a rattle. He slapped his mouth and said anxiously, "Damn you, my stinky mouth can't speak. I..."

Zhu Zaigui looked at Meng Chong who was hitting himself on the lips and blaming himself, and stopped him again, "Alright, alright, stop taking pictures. This is not the palace, there are not so many rules. Besides, time is so precious now, don't cry here endlessly."

After being scolded by Zhu Zaigui, Meng Chong immediately shut up and stood beside Zhu Zaigui cautiously.

At this time, Teng Xiang also came over and bowed to Zhu Zaigui: "Your Majesty, all the supplies have been distributed."

Zhu Zaiqi hummed and asked, "Has everyone eaten? Has the horse been fed?"

Teng Xiang replied, "We have eaten everything and fed the horses."

Zhu Zaigui said: "It's good that we have eaten. Now let's start the action. Since the supplies have arrived, we can't just sit there. We have to continue to teach these bandits a lesson and not let them have an easy life."

"Pass on my order: Divide into two teams of 500 people to harass the bandits from two directions. Treat the ground bombs you bring as palm mines and throw them into the crowd in the bandits' camp and run away. Don't stay for a moment. We want to fight by surprise and guerrilla warfare, not head-on."

Teng Xiang immediately obeyed the order, "I obey your command!"

Then Teng Xiang arranged the newly supplied troops according to Zhu Zaigui's military order, and two sneak attack teams consisting of 500 people set off on fast horses.

Zhu Zaigui looked at the remaining 1,500 men and gave another order: "We are responsible for supporting the two surprise attack teams and setting up an ambush on the road they must take when they return. If any bandits catch up with our brothers, we must not show any mercy and rush over without hesitation to disrupt their rhythm and then run away. Do you understand?"

Zhu Zai's voice is very penetrating, even in this open space, his voice can be clearly heard by everyone. The reason why his voice is so powerful is inseparable from Zhu Zai's more than one year of "Xiantian Gong" practice. This more than one year of practice has not only strengthened Zhu Zai's physique, but also made Zhu Zai's inner breath become steady and long.

To use the words in martial arts novels, such changes mean successful cultivation and profound internal strength!
But unfortunately, although this internal energy is very strong, it cannot release its internal energy like the martial arts masters in martial arts novels by picking flowers and flying leaves. The most it can make people more introverted, with a voice like a bell and a long breath.

And if you want to maintain this state, you cannot interrupt your practice, otherwise these advantages will soon disappear, as if they had never changed.

Fortunately, Zhu Zaigui's habits have now become natural. His breathing has always remained in the rhythm described in "Xiantian Gong". Even if he is exercising vigorously or feeling nervous, Zhu Zaigui will not disrupt his breathing rhythm.

And this is the reason why Zhu Zaigui’s inner breath is as powerful as a bell!
The remaining 1,500 people all smiled knowingly when they heard Zhu Zaigui's clear voice that echoed throughout the entire venue.

They have been training in the camp for a long time, and although they are all known as the elite of the imperial guards, they are actually "new recruits" who have never seen blood.

Moreover, after experiencing this battle, they have completed a psychological transformation and become veterans who have seen the world.

So now, whether in terms of psychological quality or physical training, they have officially qualified and become veritable elite imperial guards.

Moreover, they are the kind of invincible elite who have never lost a battle and have extremely high morale!

You have to know that a truly invincible elite is an extremely lucky and victorious elite. The battles and psychological journeys they have experienced are not comparable to those so-called veterans.

The reason why they are invincible is that they have never been defeated. They have established an invincible spirit in an impossible battle, so they are the elite among the elite.

This is just like Captain Huo Qubing who went into battle for the first time. He and the elite cavalry he led were an elite force that had been trained in Chang'an for a long time and had never experienced a real war.

However, under the leadership of Huo Qubing, these people followed Huo Qubing with the fearless spirit of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, and swept across the entire rear of the Huns at lightning speed, thus establishing their invincibility.

So after that textbook-like blitzkrieg, both Huo Qubing himself and the 800 elite soldiers he led, all of them developed an invisible spirit of invincibility in their hearts. This spirit of invincibility not only enabled them to fight hundreds of battles, but also made the Huns terrified.

It also made Huo Qubing a true champion marquis, and at the same time created unparalleled reputation for their team!

It can be said that their success is a decisive victory that has never failed!
Therefore, such elite troops do not need too much training at all. They only need elite training, elite mentality, and obedience to orders.

Because too much hardship will bring too much uncertainty, which may ruin their invincible mentality and make them become smooth.

Although the sophisticated veterans are elite soldiers who have experienced countless battles, they have lost their edge in the battles where they won and lost, and are no longer as brave and fearless as the invincible elite soldiers who have never experienced defeat!

"My subordinate understands!"

Fifteen hundred people rushed toward Zhu Zaigui with great momentum, responding to his voice, their loyalty and determination.

After experiencing the battle last night, they have completely surrendered to Zhu Zaigui's command. They believe that as long as they continue to obey Zhu Zaigui's orders, they can replicate miracles and be invincible!

Zhu Zaigui looked at everyone and continued to smile: "But don't be impatient. When the morale of the bandits is low and the decisive battle comes, I will personally lead you to attack the bandits and let you experience what it means to be a one-sided harvest! Now you all have to be patient with me, be obedient, and act according to my orders."

After Zhu Zaigui said this, everyone couldn't help but laugh happily. Fighting together with Zhu Zaigui was so exciting, so happy, so fearless, and it felt like victory was within reach.
