Text 472¡¾Amateur royal hunting¡¿

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Among Zhao Han's emperor's personal guards, there are only about a hundred people with excellent riding skills.

    Most of the rest of the guards came to Xiaoling Racecourse to learn horse riding after they were responsible for protecting the emperor, and they were able to run on horses.

    Not only are there few who are proficient in riding, but almost none are proficient in hunting.

    When they learned that Zhao Han was going to hunt, they collected more than a dozen hounds in advance, and practiced them quietly in private.  But their ability to command the hounds was about the same as Zhao Han's ability to ride horses, and they couldn't handle the falcons even more.

    This may be the most amateur emperor hunting operation in Chinese history!

    "Wow woof!"

    "Oh, oh~~~~"

    The hounds kept barking, and the guards galloped on horseback, trying to scare the prey out of the forest.

    After tossing for a long time, only the rabbit who had been lost all the time jumped out.

    "Your Majesty, there are prey!" The guards shouted in surprise, more excited than killing a few Tartars on the battlefield.

    Because Tartars are everywhere, but prey in the mountains are rare.

    Zhao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shouted: "Who is going to hunt this rabbit?"

    "I go!"

    ? You Julian rode out on her horse, bent her bow and drew the string, and shot an arrow, only three feet away from the hare.

    Tian Xiuying also galloped forward, but she didn't know that she performed supernormally, or she was still not up to standard, and the arrow flew past the rabbit.

    The hare fled in panic, and finally got into the grass and disappeared.

    Zhao Han praised: "Good arrow skills."

    You Julian blushed and said: "I haven't touched a bow and arrow for almost four years, and I will definitely hit it next time."

    Tian Xiuying explained: "Minnv hasn't drawn a bow for several years."

    The guards could only lead the hounds and go back to the mountains to look for wild animals.  After entering the mountain a little deeper, it was finally much easier, and soon a deer was driven out.

    Zhao Han was about to pick up the flintlock and take aim when Liu Rushi who followed him shouted, "Your Majesty, that's a pregnant female beast!"

    "Sure enough it's not the hunting season." Zhao Han had no choice but to put down the shotgun.

    Most wild animals mate in spring.  Take the roe deer as an example, they mate in late winter and early spring, and now the rapeseed has just been harvested, and the wheat is about to be harvested. These two months are the season for giving birth.

    The pregnant female deer was allowed to escape, and after a while, another wild boar was driven out.

    The body is not very big, only about two hundred catties.

    Tian Xiuying chased after her horse, let go of the rein with both hands, and on the undulating horse's back, unexpectedly pulled the standard horse bow to 70% full, and then shot at a high speed.

    Uh, I shot crooked again

    Tian Xiuying was suddenly embarrassed, and when the guards drove the wild boar back, she blushed and stopped at the horse bow.

    Phew!

    An arrow pierced the boar's body, only piercing through the fur, and the arrow dangled dangling from the boar's body.  Under the pain, the wild boar was hunted by hundreds of people, and fled down the mountain in a panic.

    There are also guards at the foot of the mountain, beating the gong to drive them back.

    "boom!"

    With a gunshot, the wild boar fell to the ground.

    Zhao Han put down the flintlock gun and reloaded the ammunition slowly.

    "Good shot!"

    "Your Majesty shoots!"

    Everyone immediately cheered and flattered.

    The wild boar was shot and arrowed, but it was still alive.  After falling to the ground for only two or three seconds, he got up again and ran away, and rushed straight to Zhao Han's side.

    Phew!  call out!  call out!

    Tian Xiuying, You Julian, and another female official all shot arrows at the same time.  Due to the close distance, all three arrows hit, but the wild boar still survived.

    Zhu Youdong, the captain of the personal guard, was afraid that the emperor would be in danger, so he immediately galloped out, leaned out after a few steps of charging, and slammed the wild boar on the forehead with a hammer.

    The wild boar staggered and ran a few steps, and finally fell down.

    Another guard said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this beast is not dead, so you can take another shot."

    Zhao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "One more shot, will I count it as a hunt?"

    "Hahaha!"

    Everyone laughed instantly, and the sycophant guard scratched his head in embarrassment.

    Tian Xiuying said: "Your Majesty, some prey have thick fur and must use special arrow clusters, otherwise they will not die if they hit ten arrows."

    "So that's how it is." Zhao Han suddenly realized.

    For example, the emperor in the early Qing Dynasty had special heavy hunting arrows.  When shooting tigers and other ferocious animals, the arrows are not sharp, but oval iron cones.  Instead of piercing damage, it deals hammer damage.

    Zhao Han is just playing around today, doing everything in his spare time.?The whole body was leaning back, rubbing his numb arms and excitedly saying: "It's ringing, it's ringing!"

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Hold tighter, don't get hit by the firecracker in the face."

    Liu Rushi nodded again and again: "My husband, don't worry, I will practice well. I can't practice bow and arrow, and I don't have enough strength to draw the bow, but this firecracker is much easier."

    She has a heart to gallop on the battlefield, and she can only think about it at ordinary times, but now she is very satisfied to be able to shoot on horseback.

    Hunting until mid-afternoon, only one wild boar and one roe were hunted, and the nearby forests were polluted by them.

    Hundreds of guards continued to look for prey, while Zhao Han, concubines, and female officials dismounted to rest, and some guards stood around to guard.

    Zhao Han asked the female officials to disperse, and even Liu Rushi was invited aside, leaving only Tian Xiuying to say: "There are Tartars in Nanjing who are spying, and they are buying officials everywhere. If you and Chongzhen's children come to contact with strangers, don't make a show of it."  That's fine. If they give you the money, you will take it all and report to me quietly."

    Tian Xiuying was startled, and nodded immediately: "The girl obeys!"

    Zhao Han said again: "Your father went to Liaodong with the Tartars. After destroying the Tartars, I will try my best to save your father. You must not hide your actions because of this."

    "Yes!" Tian Xiuying was even more surprised.

    Tian Xiuying was named a noble concubine by Chongzhen, the first of all concubines, second only to the queen.  Tian Hongyu naturally followed Zhanguang, from the official position to Zuo Dudu, the highest real power position of a military general in the Ming Dynasty.

    Of course, this so-called real power is only relative to honorary titles, and it cannot actually intervene in military affairs.

    When Li Zicheng was in Beijing, Tian Hongyu was beaten half to death by torture.

    Fortunately, Tian Hongyu was a "Little Mengchang" with a wide range of friends, and hid in the church to be sheltered by missionaries.  After the Man Qing entered Beijing, he searched everywhere for the imperial family and clan of the Ming Dynasty. Tian Hongyu, as a foreign relative, was forcibly expelled from office by the Man Qing.

    Especially when I heard that Concubine Tian Gui was not dead, she probably went to the south. The Qing Dynasty did not let Tian Hongyu leave, and even took Tian Hongyu with her when she returned to Liaodong.

    Hou Fangyu's father, Hou Xun, was also alive, and he was all in Liaodong at the moment.

    Since the Manchu Qing sent to work carefully, they would definitely get in touch with Tian Xiuying and Hou Xun, as well as those children of Chongzhen.  (
