Chapter 129: Willing to count the yellow beards under Ye
Although the word "far" is always on the lips of these big-headed soldiers, it burst out from the emperor's mouth today, which instantly brought the distance between the emperor and these soldiers closer.
If the emperor said it in a simplistic way, these soldiers would certainly listen, but they would never dare to laugh like they are now. They just felt that the emperor was like us and really understood us big-headed soldiers.
When the soldiers laughed a little less, Chongzhen said: "Who is not tired? They are all physical and physical fetuses, not iron-clad, and aren't tired? You guys know how to make me happy!"
Seeing that the soldiers in the general were chuckling, some were still whispering, Chongzhen ignored it and just continued, "But, you are tired! It doesn't matter if you sweat more when training. Drinking more water can always make up for it. But if you don't practice well, you will not sweat, but bleeding, or even lose your life."
Looking at the thoughtful soldiers, Chongzhen continued, "You were chosen by General Liu Xingzuo. Many people still have blood feuds with Jiannu. I hope you can become the seeds of other garrisons in the Ming Dynasty. In other words, you are my hope and the hope of all the Ming army."
"I would rather you sweat and get hurt while practicing than you lose your life on the battlefield. After all, there are no eyes on the battlefield."
"Don't think that I like war very much, but those dogs Jiannu forced us to fight. If they don't fight, they will invade the Ming Dynasty, bully your parents, wives and children, and steal everything from you!"
"Since you want to fight, then just fight a big fight! I don't just take you to defeat Jiannu, but also take you to expand your territory. At that time, each of you will have the hope of relying on military merits to win titles!"
"In the end, I will ask the eunuchs sent to teach you how to read, read, and become generals and ministers in the future, which may not be impossible!"
The last sentence ignited the enthusiasm of these soldiers. Isn’t it because I am illiterate? When I get to read, I will go home to teach my children at home. Gradually, I will be able to produce some literate people at home.
Looking at the soldiers who were completely rhythmic by his words, Chongzhen felt more and more satisfied. He raised his hand again to signal, and the soldiers immediately stopped making a sound.
Chongzhen then said with satisfaction: "You are here! I will reward you for your contributions and punish you for your mistakes! Whether you have made merits, suffered grievances, or died after death in battle, I will take all your charges!"
"I've said so much, keep practicing."
After the soldiers scattered and went to practice, let alone those who knew about soldiers like Zhang Weixian and Liu Xingzuo, even military laymen like Chongzhen, Fang Zhenghua and Wang Chengen could clearly see that these soldiers were enthusiastic about their training, which was obviously more powerful than when they were practicing the military formation just now.
If I had just had ten strength, I would use ten points, now I would like to have ten points to use ten points.
Zhang Weixian, who had just stayed aside, said, "Your Majesty, look at these soldiers, obviously, are much stronger than they did. If the soldiers of my Ming Guard were like this, and the ammunition of the firearms could keep up, there would be no more than Jiannu? I'm afraid I'd just hit it directly."
Chongzhen smiled and said, "What I said is good, but what I know about this firearm is limited, and everything depends on how Xu Aiqing and the others do it. Although the firearms I tested before are good, the output cannot be improved. They are all handmade by old craftsmen. They need to equip all the garrisons in the Ming Dynasty. I don't know what year or month it will be."
"And later, I heard from Xu Aiqing that all the ten muskets used for test shooting were blown up, the only difference was that there were some early and some late."
"From this point, the steel used to make muskets is still not up to standard. In the future, Xu Aiqing and others will have to find ways to improve the quality of this steel."
"There is a long way to go."
After sighing, Chongzhen cheered up and said to Zhang Weixian and Liu Xingzuo: "Let's go and accompany me back to the palace. I will advise you, what is the current situation in Liaodong?"
Zhang Weixian and Liu Xingzuo bowed together. After returning to the palace, Chongzhen recruited Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun and ordered them to directly tell the situation in Liaodong.
Xu Xianchun said directly: "Your Majesty, according to the secret report sent by the Jinyiwei in the previous period, the slave chief Huang Taiji has seen through General Mao Wenlong's intention to deceive and kill the Jiannu envoy again, and plans to raise an army to attack Dongjiang and North Korea directly after the beginning of spring."
"The North Korean king, Li Yu, is much stronger than the former Kwang Haijun. He has killed the Jiannu envoy according to Mr. Sun's wishes. He is now recruiting troops and preparing food in the middle of the North Korean country, and plans to face Jiannu head-on with General Mao Wenlong."
Chongzhen sneered, "It's good that North Korea has this intention, but don't expect it. Their soldiers are not as good as my Ming garrison. With Mao Wenlong alone, it's impossible to resist Jiannu. When Sun Chengzong went to Korea in the previous period, I discussed with him that as long as Jiannu sends troops, I, the Ming Dynasty, will also act like attacking Jiannu to restrain Jiannu."
Zhang Weixian said, "Your Majesty, just do it all the time. Let's stop pretending. After Jiannu sends troops, let North Korea fight the main force first, and Mao Wenlong's side will restrain him from the side. As long as they can attract the main force of Jiannu, the direction of Shanhaiguan and Ningjin, they will directly send troops to cut off Jiannu's retreat."
Liu Xingzuo opposed: "It's not appropriate. Jiannu now has the support of the gangsters from Korqin and does not lack war horses, so he slowly focuses on cavalry. I'm afraid that the troops in Ningjin's direction will not be able to withstand Jiannu's cavalry. In the eyes of the last general, he would still act like an attack and force Jiannu to retreat and not attack Dongjiang."
Zhang Weixian still insisted on his opinion: "The winter of the Ming Dynasty is too cold this year, and Jiannu is not much better. I am afraid that Jiannu will jump over the wall and will really fight Dongjiang and North Korea at that time. After all, from the perspective of Jiannu, Dongjiang and North Korea have really been captured. Not to mention the people captured, the food and grass plundered from North Korea can make up for all the losses that Jiannu had suffered in our Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that there will be a lot of surplus."
Liu Xingzuo knew that what Zhang Weixian said was a fact, so he shouted, no longer spoke, but just thought about what to do.
