Feng Ziying glanced at Jia Heng in surprise and said with a smile: "Brother Heng, are you joking? In Shanglin Garden, there are mostly golden pheasants, red-crowned cranes, elk and the like that are tributes from various places. They are thought to be for the royal family to watch, so how can they hunt?"
After hearing this, Jia Heng was silent for a long time and said: "At the time of Liu Han, Emperor Wu recruited the sons of good families in Guanzhong to organize and train camp cavalry under the Jianzhang Palace. The cavalry and archery came and went, and the armor and soldiers were magnificent. They were called Yulin at that time... Think about it, in the past it was the Shang Dynasty.
Riding and shooting in the forest garden."
He seemed to have found the reason why Chen Han and Northern Xinjiang were always suppressed by the Hulu.
The spirit of martial arts is not enough.
Think about the descendants of the two princes Rong Ning and the noble sons and daughters of the country. None of them have become successful. How can this country be better off?
Seemingly sensing Jia Heng's deep thoughts, Feng Ziying said: "The country has been in peace for a long time, emphasizing civility and restraining military force. Since the rise of slaves, the status of military generals has been taken more seriously. However, when civilian officials manage border affairs, border generals mostly look up to them."
Jia Heng sighed inwardly and thought to himself, it still looks like the late Ming Dynasty.
"It's not just the appearance of the late Ming Dynasty, but this is normal. The older generation of Duke Wu and Marquis fought bloody battles, not just to get a wife and a son, so that their descendants could enjoy wealth and honor. By the third generation, they naturally lacked the heart to fight, and the new generation
If the generals want to grow up, they need to take care of the internal eunuchs, relatives, and civil servants, who are basically in charge. This is the case with Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou in the pre-Ming Dynasty, and then with the generals of Liaodong."
Jia Heng asked again: "Don't the children of Guanzhong have talented soldiers to serve as soldiers?"
The land of Guanzhong and the Three Qin Dynasties has produced strong soldiers and generals in the past dynasties, and even generals from Guanxi and prime ministers from Guandong. There is no shortage of people who dare to fight in this land.
Feng Ziying sighed and said: "The atmosphere of the country is such that it cannot be reversed over many years. Fortunately, these princes seem to be interested in martial arts."
I haven’t said anything else after that, I’ve just mentioned it.
Being interested in martial arts does not necessarily mean that he was a talented and strategic Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, looking thoughtful.
As the two of them spoke, they drove their horses into Shenjing City and arrived at the gate of Shenwu General Feng Tang's mansion.
This General Shenwu of the Chen Han Dynasty, who has the same name as General Feng Tang of the former Han Dynasty, is a standard general's family, with several soldiers standing in front of the door holding swords.
Seeing Feng Ziying return, a middle-aged man in a gray shirt with a steward's appearance came from the corner gate, with a few boys behind him. He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Is the uncle back? I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Hey, you, go and tell the master quickly." He said to a boy with dark cheeks.
Feng Ziying got off the horse, gave the horse's reins to the steward, and said with a smile: "My father is waiting for me, probably because he is worried about something happening."
"Isn't that right? I wish I could leave the city and follow him." The steward held the horse's reins and said with a smile.
When today's two princes went out to hunt in the city, although they were hiding their identities, Zhou Fang also had powerful generals and warriors to follow them, but they were not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case. If something went wrong, it would be a big trouble.
Especially General Shenwu, as the general and commander of the Diansu Palace, couldn't bear to eat.
Over here, the middle-aged steward also noticed Jia Heng beside him and asked in surprise: "Who is this young master?"
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "A friend of the Jia family."
The middle-aged steward's expression changed slightly, he smiled, and said: "Master Jia, please let me take care of the horse and let someone feed it."
Jia Heng handed the reins to a young boy and thanked him: "Thank you."
The middle-aged steward and the boy led the horse into the stable through the corner door.
Feng Ziying and Jia Heng also entered the courtyard, passed through the corridor, and met an old woman who smiled and said: "Brother Ying, I am waiting for you in the school grounds."
The general's house is naturally different from other places, and there is no conversation in the study.
Feng Ziying responded and said to Jia Heng on the side: "The old man is waiting for me to go back and ask questions."
Jia Heng said: "It's okay if you leave midway, right?"
Feng Ziying said with a smile: "I am also followed by the Feng family's cavalry guards. I just heard from Uncle Zhao that the masters have returned home safely. Besides, it was Princess Xianning who told me not to accompany me. I will not take the blame."
Jia Heng secretly thought that Feng Ziying was a son of a general. In terms of appearance, he was not as rich and extravagant as he was, but his rigorous style of running the family could be seen on the road.
It can be seen from this road that there are almost no young and beautiful maids, they are either old servants or nuns.
This is actually very necessary, because the family's growth environment is very important to a person's temperament. If you grow up in a pile of makeup and powder, your bravery and courage will naturally be insufficient.
And this Feng Ziying can indeed make friends.
However, if you train well, there is no guarantee that you will become a strong supporter in the future...
If the family and country are in ruins and alien races are raging, the strong beam may not be the orthodoxy of China.
While the two were talking, they walked through the Moon Gate and came to a school ground covering an area of more than ten acres. It was spacious and the land was flat.
A middle-aged military general in his forties, shirtless in the already cool autumn, held up a stone lock, bouncing it up and down, exerting his strength. Sweat dripped from his bronze arms, and his muscles were strong and eye-catching.
Several servants on the side also prepared hot water and towels to serve.
Feng Ziying called: "Dad."
The middle-aged military general put down the stone lock, took the towel from the boy on the side, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said: "You are back, have you eaten?"
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "I just came back from the city and haven't had dinner yet."
Feng Tang said: "After a while, we and I will have some food in the hall. Your uncle Zheng brought a deer for a while. The kitchen has prepared it now. Can those guys send it back?"
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "Everyone went back safely."
Jia Heng looked calm while listening to the conversation between father and son. It was plain and simple but contained a strong feeling of licking the baby.
This is particularly rare, especially if the first question is not to ask several princes and princesses.
Compared with those like Jia Zhen and Jia She who were not upright themselves, they uprighted others first, often beat and scolded, and often acted like their elders.
When a boy like this comes out, he actually doesn't have much ambition as a man.
But Feng Ziying obviously didn't understand much and winked at Jia Heng.
Feng Tang put on his clothes and girded his belt, then looked at Jia Heng, with a dignified face with the Chinese character Fang Yi, and a bit of surprise, and said: "This little brother has a very tight face."
This divine general was full of energy, his voice was like a bell, and he had a majestic and calm demeanor as soon as he opened his mouth.
Jia Heng's face straightened, he cupped his hands and said, "After Ning Guogong, Jia Heng met Feng Shibo."
Speaking of which, he himself was a little helpless. Even if he didn't want to mention the Jia family, he still mentioned it when introducing him to others. This was not intended to show off his family background, but was regarded as a courtesy name.
Know the root and bottom, and show it with sincerity.
Feng Tang was stunned for a moment, looked at Jia Heng up and down, his expression remained indifferent, and asked: "Descendants of Ning Gong? Are they from Dongfu?"
Jia Heng said loudly: "This is the son of Ning Gong's side branch."
Feng Tang didn't ask, but the second master Bao who was born with a jade in his mouth didn't. He just looked at Feng Ziying aside with a questioning look.
Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Brother Jia Heng is not from the East and West Mansion, but Ning Gong Yuan Zhi'er. Brother Jia Heng is very good at boxing and kicking. By the way, he can also shoot two stone bows."
At this moment, Feng Ziying still looks like the noble man who talked and laughed freely before. Instead, he looks like a child who has encountered some treasure and wants to show off to his elders.
There was indeed a trace of surprise on Feng Tang's resolute face. He looked at Jia Heng and asked, "Are you serious about shooting two stones?"
Obviously, the Jia family background did not think it was strange just now, but after hearing this episode, a strange look appeared in his eyes, and even the indifferent expression disappeared. Compared with the politeness just now, the tone of his voice was a little more cordial.
The most important warrior in the army, Shenwu General Feng Tang is particularly fond of being a brave junior in the army.
Jia Heng seemed to show the shyness of a young man and said: "Shibo, I am just practicing for the first time. I used the riding bow to shoot two stones, but I couldn't shoot accurately."
Feng Tang smiled and said: "That's extraordinary. He is young, has such physical strength and extraordinary talent. As for archery, don't rush, you can practice slowly."
These words are almost the same as what Princess Xianning said.
