The Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was extremely rebellious

Chapter 201: Embarrassing No Horse
In April, the peach blossoms of the mountain temple begin to bloom.

The flowers in Beijing have already faded in April, but the Miyun Mountain Resort is full of flowers.

At this time, Queen Wang's belly was also bulging. Although she was most likely pregnant with a princess, Wanli did not favor one over the other.

After the palace examination was over, Wanli, just like he did when taking care of Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan, brought his entire family, Li Shizhen and his son, the Wan brothers, and others to the Summer Resort.

Now that he's at the summer resort, he seems to be able to relax.

Early in the morning at about 1 a.m., when it was just getting light, he brought his entire family, as well as Li Shizhen, Wan Bangzhong and others to the back garden of the Mountain Resort to admire the flowers in full bloom.

To be honest, there are many advantages to being an emperor.

For example, as for the flowers, plants and trees in this summer resort, he only needs to give a verbal order, and then someone will naturally transplant all kinds of exotic flowers and fragrant trees, and there will also be people who take care of them every day.

At this moment, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom, especially the peach blossoms. The peach trees all over the back garden are full of them. As long as you look up, you will see a sea of ​​pink. It looks really pleasing to the eye and smells fragrant.

Wanli took everyone for a walk and then prepared to sit down in the pavilion to rest.

Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan said enthusiastically, "Uncle, how about we have a fight?"

She had not practiced martial arts since she became pregnant. Even after the little prince was born, she had to hold him and take care of him all the time and could not let go at all.

Besides, it was not easy to practice in the palace. In the past, she could only practice early in the morning when there were not many people in the Qianqing Palace.

Now she was finally able to let go and let the other concubines hold her son and play with him. In addition, the back garden was full of flowers and plants, which was really suitable for practicing martial arts, so she couldn't help but want to practice.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancheng said excitedly, "Okay, I'll fight a few moves with you, Madam."

He actually also likes to practice martial arts, otherwise, when he was in Wudang Mountain, he would not have called his good friend Shan Sinan to practice with him every day.

"Okay, I'll go get the sword."

Upon hearing this, Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan immediately jumped onto the wall of the back garden.

After a while, she took out two swords, jumped down from the wall, and fought with Li Xuancheng.

That guy, on the lawn in the back garden, sword energy immediately flew out and sparks flew everywhere.

Both of them are rare masters in this world. Ordinary people can't even see their figures clearly.

By this time, everyone else was already sitting around in the pavilion watching.

Wanli had seen them compete, but he didn't find it surprising.

When the concubines saw this, they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

They all knew that Imperial Concubine Qin Lan had practiced martial arts, but they didn't know that Imperial Concubine Qin Lan was so skilled.

Li Shizhen couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, "So the Imperial Noble Consort is an expert."

Wan Bangzhong was also quite surprised and said, "No wonder the Queen's blood and energy are so vigorous, it turns out that her martial arts skills are so high."

Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan's blood and energy were really strong. She practiced the sword technique of opening and closing vigorously, and she used two swords, which just happened to counter Li Xuancheng's light and agile style.

The two of them gestured for a while, and suddenly a piece of clothing flew into the air. Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan stopped her sword and laughed sweetly, "Haha, little uncle, I won."

Li Xuancheng touched the edge of his clothes and sighed awkwardly, "Alas, an inch longer is an inch stronger. Your sword is longer than mine, and your hands are longer than mine. It's hard for me to reach you. There's nothing I can do."

It’s not that his martial arts skills are inferior to others, the key is that others have innate advantages.

Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan walked back to the pavilion with a happy face. Just as she was about to put down her swords and hug her precious son, the eldest prince Zhu Changluo suddenly rushed up, pulled her sleeve, and said with admiration: "Auntie, please teach me martial arts."

You kid probably don’t know how hard it is to practice martial arts.

Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan placed a sword next to him and gestured, "You are not even as good as this sword. I'm afraid you can't practice martial arts now."

I want to practice martial arts and become a great general.

The eldest prince Zhu Changluo looked at the hilt of the sword above his head and actually raised his little hand to grasp it.

Oh my God, don't get hurt by the sword.

Upon seeing this, Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan quickly placed her two swords flat on the ground and said jokingly, "Try it. If you can pick up a sword, I will teach you martial arts."

Can I not even lift a sword?
Upon hearing this, the eldest prince Zhu Changluo immediately squatted down, grasped the hilt of a sword with both hands, and lifted it up with force.

As a result, he couldn't lift it at all!

It was unearthed later that the two swords Qin Liangyu carried weighed at least eighty kilograms!

As a child of three or four years old, he really couldn't lift a heavy sword weighing forty kilograms.

This precious son really wants to be a general.

Seeing this, Wanli couldn't help but ask with concern: "Doctor Wan, can Luo'er practice martial arts?"

How do you say this?

Wan Bangzhong pondered this seriously and said, "His Royal Highness the First Prince could practice martial arts. The conditioning medicine would be absorbed quickly. However, it's unlikely that he could achieve the same level of skill as the Imperial Concubine. He is born with insufficient Qi and blood, and even supplementation won't be enough."

Oh, you can practice martial arts.

Wanli thought for a while, then pointed outside and said: "Luo'er, you are not suitable for practicing heavy sword. Go and learn light sword skills from your uncle. Your uncle's sword only weighs a few pounds. Can you lift it? "Yes, there is a master here.

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince Zhu Changluo immediately rushed out and pestered Li Xuancheng to learn swordsmanship.

Seeing this, Princess Rongchang ran to Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan, who was holding the little prince, and said with stars in her eyes, "Auntie, is the Yiming you mentioned as powerful as you?"

Imperial Noble Consort Qin Lan held her precious son in her arms and rocked him gently, saying, "Yiming will definitely be even more powerful than me when he grows up."

Princess Rongchang heard this and nodded seriously, "Well, then I will marry Yiming."

"Hahahahaha."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

At this moment, a young eunuch suddenly walked in from outside, clasped his hands and bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Peng requests an audience."

Finally here.

The reason why he was free to accompany everyone to visit the back garden was because Duke Peng Qi Jiguang had not arrived yet.

Upon hearing this, Wanli immediately stood up and said, "You guys can play here. I have something to discuss with Duke Peng."

After saying that, he walked out.

At this moment, Qi Jiguang was standing in the main hall in the backyard waiting.

Wanli cordially invited him to sit on either side of the main seat and ordered fragrant tea to be served. Then he solemnly said, "Yuan Jing, how is the training of the 120,000 newly recruited soldiers of the Beijing Camp going? When can they go into battle?"

Uh, this.

Qi Jiguang explained carefully, "Your Majesty, these newly recruited 120,000 troops only need about six months of training before they can go to the battlefield, and their weapons and equipment can be fully equipped within three months. However, we have no war horses.

The 120,000 soldiers of the Beijing Camp need about 60,000 war horses, but now we can't even get 6,000."

That's embarrassing, I forgot I have no warhorse.

Upon hearing this, Wanli frowned slightly and pondered for a while, then asked, "When will the newly trained war horses in Hetao be available?"

Qi Jiguang estimated, "All the horses over five years old have been delivered. I estimate that we will have to wait until the beginning of next spring to gather the full 60,000 horses."

Do we have to wait until next spring?
There is no time to wait.

This year we must take over the former headquarters of the Beijing Xingdusi.

The strength of the three guards of Doyan is actually just that. Not to mention the 360,000 troops of the Beijing Camp, the 80,000 cavalry of the Shenwu Camp of the Beijing Camp alone can defeat them.

The key point now is that there are remnants of the three major families of Puzhou or the eight imperial merchants acting as internal traitors within the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, these guys have many relatives in the Northern Tartars.

The remnants of the three major families in Puzhou must be trying to take revenge through the Northern Tartars.

Therefore, if they attack, they will not only have to face the Three Guards of Doyan, but also the remnants of the three major families of Puzhou can probably trick all the troops of the Northern Tartars to fight them.

Wanli pondered for a while, then asked, "Their current weapons and equipment should be enough to defend the city, right?"

That's definitely no problem.

Qi Jiguang nodded repeatedly and said, "We don't need war horses to defend the city. They will definitely have no problem defending the city."

Wanli pondered again and said, "The original acropolis of the Beijing Xingdusi was basically razed to the ground by the three guards of Duoyan. This year, we will not only rebuild the acropolis in the Yanshan River Valley, but also all the acropolis of the Beijing Xingdusi.

Yuan Jing, how about this? We dispatch a group of craftsmen to accompany these 120,000 newly recruited soldiers from the Beijing Camp to build a city in the Yanshan River Valley. Let them train for a few months on the construction of the city. That way, after we capture the former site of the Beijing Xingdusi, they can go over and quickly rebuild the original Acropolis."

This is not a bad idea.

In fact, the key to taking the former site of the Beijing Xingdusi is to hold on to it after taking it.

The current combat capability of the Jingying will definitely allow them to defeat the three guards of Doyan. The key now lies in the issue of defending the city after they take it down.

Building cities or creating siege equipment is actually a project that soldiers need to practice, but it is not as important as arranging battle formations and fighting the enemy.

Upon hearing this, Qi Jiguang nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I think their city-building exercises this year will be more useful than any other exercises."

That'll do.

Wanli quickly issued an edict to prepare for the expedition against the Tumed tribe of Tatars. He ordered the Ministry of War to quickly mobilize food and supplies to Datong Town, ordered Liaodong Town to repair the defense facilities with all its strength to prevent the northern barbarians from taking the opportunity to counterattack, and ordered the new recruits of the Beijing Camp to enter the Yanshan River Valley to build the Acropolis to prevent the northern barbarians from taking the opportunity to attack the capital.

His reason was that the Tatar Tumed tribe gathered together to attack Datong Town last year.

This seems normal. With his rebellious temperament, if someone comes to his door to attack him, he will definitely fight back.

The remnants of the three major families in Puzhou quickly passed the news to the Tumed headquarters.

Sanniangzi and Chelike were both shocked when they heard the news.

Xin Ai Huang Taiji died of illness outside the Great Wall last winter. Now the Ming army is seeking revenge on them. What should they do?
