Chapter 1815: Tiger Hunting (Wall for monthly votes)(2/2)
"Ouch..."
In the distance, two tiger roars were heard.
Everyone looked over together.
The guards were dragging two carts with cast-iron cages on them.
Brother Jiu was a little excited when he saw it.
The tiger is coming.
The reason why it is dragged by manpower instead of horses is because the horse cannot pull a live tiger, and the roar of the tiger will scare the horse.
This tiger cage was transported from Mulan Paddock on an ox cart.
The thirteenth elder brother stood under the ninth elder brother. He was also very excited. He looked carefully and said: "The cage is as big as the cage. The tigers are one big and one small. They are a pair of tigers!"
Listening to this, Brother Jiu thought of his pig farm in Baiwang Mountain for some reason.
This pair of tigers can be kept to have cubs. It would be a pity to kill them directly.
There are a total of 600 soldiers in the Tiger Spear Battalion. Today, 300 people have accompanied them to Nanyuan, and they are all in sight.
It is said to be for watching tiger hunting, but in fact the reserved tiger hunting ground is a full mile away from the falconry platform.
The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace, let alone the emperor.
The area from the hunting grounds to the imperial palace was not empty, and there were several layers of manpower deployed.
Next to the emperor are the guards of Qianqing Palace.
After the guards of Qianqing Palace, there are the foreign guards.
Behind the foreign guards are the officers and soldiers of the Royal Bird Gun Battalion and the Shanpu Battalion.
Since we are hunting tigers and we are looking at the power of the tigers, we will naturally not release two sick tigers.
When the cast iron cage containing the tiger was put down, everyone held their breath and concentrated.
Brother Jiu looked at it with sweaty palms.
How to release this?
If the moment the tiger is released, it rushes towards people, where will it be able to resist?
I'm afraid even the gunfire rescue might not be able to arrive in time.
Looking at the tiger spearmen a few feet away around the tiger fence, Brother Jiu could only admire him.
This is not the same as hunting a tiger on horseback.
This is a fight with a tiger. If you are not careful, you will be killed or injured.
Kangxi sat high and looked at the tiger in the cage.
Even if the king of beasts becomes a trapped beast, he will only be pitiful and embarrassed.
He turned his head, looked at his eldest brother, and then looked at his other sons.
Seeing this, the eldest brother remembered Mingzhu's words.
Mingzhu made it clear that it is okay to keep a low profile, but you must also flash your feathers appropriately, otherwise you will be looked down upon.
The eldest son of the emperor with prestige and the eldest son of the emperor without prestige are two different things.
Neither too light nor too heavy is good.
Even if you don't have a head-on confrontation with the prince, you can't really become an ordinary prince.
In that case, those who want to please the prince will come to him.
The eldest brother came out and said: "Khan Ama, my son has requested an order to hunt tigers!"
The fifth elder brother was eager to try. Seeing the eldest elder brother coming out, he followed behind and said: "Khan Ama, my son also wants to ask for permission!"
Seeing that Kangxi did not refuse immediately, the third elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother also stood up one after another.
Kangxi looked at a few people and then at the caged tiger in the distance with an unclear expression.
"You are so bold, you think this tiger hunting is child's play!"
The eldest brother said: "With Khan Amma's Tiger Spear Camp here, my son is not afraid!"
The third elder brother said: "I would like to imitate Khan Amma and hunt tigers and bears to strengthen the royal power."
The fifth elder brother said: "One hundred people hunt two tigers. My son is not afraid of the tiger, but he is afraid that he will not be able to get the seat in front of the tiger."
Of the three hundred officers and men of the Tiger Gun Battalion, one hundred are on the tiger hunting ground and two hundred are on standby outside.
Fifth Brother's worries are really not unfounded.
The thirteenth elder brother said: "Although my son has hunted tigers, he can use muskets, and he also wants to try the tiger gun..."
Everyone has their own confidence and ideas.
Kangxi looked at his other sons again...
