Wu Zheng unexpectedly handed over the command of the battlefield to Shi Lang.

He said to Shi Lang, "This defeat is decided...... Therefore, don't be afraid of losing, this king has only one request for you, to hurt the enemy, so that after this battle, they will remember today's battle, and they will not be able to eat and sleep at night...... In this way, the king will remember you. ”

Shi Lang silently clasped his fists and saluted, and went out of the cabin to take over Wu Zheng's command.

……。

Shi Lang's personality is not completely reckless, on the contrary, he belongs to the sullen type.

Because of his devotion, Zheng Sen could no longer kill his father and brother as in the history books.

Zheng Sen didn't dare, he really didn't dare.

Even Dolgon didn't dare to kill Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong easily, how could Zheng Sen dare to kill Shi Lang's father and brother?

It's not how terrible Wu Zheng is, Wu Zheng is at most a rival to three or five Tartars, and no matter how much he is, I'm afraid it will be a share of hatred on the battlefield.

But behind Wu Zheng, the 200,000 Northern Expeditionary Army is the biggest backing.

The composition and formation of the Northern Expeditionary Army was different from all the armies of this time.

The battalion is the basic unit, not the combat unit.

Battalions can be thousands, 10,000 people, or even tens of thousands.

The battalion is just a container, a container for the soldiers, and its commander will be the commander.

The main function of the commanders is to train troops, not to be the commander-in-chief of the first army in the true sense.

This was not Wu Zheng's first creation, in fact, Europe, especially the English, first pioneered the concept of regiments, which is similar to the battalion formation of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

But it is not the same, Wu Zheng has been improved to a certain extent.

The real commanders of the Northern Expeditionary Army were the commanders of the guards, who did not participate in the training, but held the real military power.

Zhang Guowei, Fang Guoan, and others once raised objections, believing that this method would be subject to the fact that the generals did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals, which would greatly reduce the combat effectiveness, and those who were not good at fighting would not do it.

But facts have proved that Wu Zheng's improvement is correct.

The previous cold weapon war, advocating personal martial arts, such as the ancient peerless Lu Bu, Guan Erye, etc., they are typical representatives of aristocratic warfare, ordinary people do not need to say whether they can eat their body, is looking for a suitable weapon like them, I am afraid that they will not be able to get it.

The war there is a war for the rich, and ordinary people are just waving flags and shouting.

But today's Northern Expeditionary Army is completely different, they are almost the same, just like the products produced by the assembly line in later generations.

The same ideological and cultural education, the same physical fitness, and combat skills training are no different except for the natural physique.

A soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty. This sentence was erected at the gate of the military academy by Wu Zheng with an iron stone stele.

Therefore, the Northern Expeditionary Army can do not pick generals, and will not pick soldiers.

This completely subverted the innate defect of the previous soldiers walking with the generals and the military generals holding the soldiers to their own respect.

The Northern Expedition along the way proved that Wu Zheng was correct, the military academy corps led by Fang Guoan, and the original Lihaiwei led by Chen Sheng, their convergence can be described as a blend of water and milk, and there is no trace of the taste of a small hill at all.

Therefore, although Shi Lang is newly attached, he can control the Zhoushan Water Division, but he is handy, because the soldier does not care about whether he is Shi Lang's descendant, but only whether Shi Lang is the chief soldier (commander) of the Zhoushan Water Division.

Shi Lang is sullen, and he is talking about his character.

He likes to be different, which was suppressed by Zheng Sen's dislike before.

But now, although Wu Zheng doesn't trust him (this is a matter on the surface), Wu Zheng does give him independent power.

Of course, this power can be withdrawn at any time, and it is not like Zheng Sen, once an army is granted, then this army will be surnamed Shi from now on.

If Shi Lang dares to defect on the verge of battle, then one thing is certain, the soldiers under his command will definitely mutiny.

There is always only one object of loyalty of the Northern Expeditionary Army, that is, the interests of the Han nationality represented by Wu Zheng.

In fact, this sentence is not accurate, the original sentence is that there is always only one object of loyalty of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and that is the national interest.

Wu Zheng is a thief, Wu Bochang is even more "thief", he steals beams and changes pillars, and adds a definition, that is, the interests of the Han nationality represented by Wu Zheng sound no different, the interests of the Han nationality at this time are the interests of the country, but, who can guarantee that the future country will still be surnamed Zhu?

Of course, the people are not clear, and neither are the soldiers.

Those who can be clearly distinguished are those who are well-educated, but they have never been the people that Wu Zheng appreciates and reuses.

Shi Lang is not full of knowledge, he is actually a second son, so, in his mind, it is natural to be a soldier to eat food and exchange his life for merit, and if he wants to make meritorious service, he has to exchange his life for it.

Under this kind of ideological "awareness", Shi Lang fundamentally did not think that Wu Zheng's transfer of battlefield command to him was a "reward", and what he felt was more of a responsibility...... No, it's not all responsibility, it's more, it's a test.

Therefore, Shi Lang decided to repay Wu Zheng's "trust" with his life, which is a kind of negative energy on the head?

Shi Lang gave the order, and his only order in this battle - attack!

This is almost the same as Wu Zheng's thoughts, but ...... More decisive!

Shi Lang's Ryan flagship at this time rushed to the forefront of the main fleet.

This made Wang Yilin very angry, this halfway Erwuzai really didn't know "etiquette".

Wang Yilin's anger is very different from Zhang Mingzhen's unwillingness to fall behind.

One is for Shi Lang personally, and the other is for the overall situation.

In fact, no general or sailor in the naval division still expected a miracle to win this naval battle.

But there is absolutely no one who will question the general attack order of His Royal Highness King Wu.

This is the difference between the new army and the old army, and the difference lies in two words - faith!

An army without faith has no soul.

Of course, at this time, the belief of the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army is different from that of later generations, the difference is that the belief of later generations is active and optional, but at this time, in addition to the awe in the heart, the rest is probably only blind obedience.

To keep pace with the times, it is better to retreat to the next best.

Wu Zheng never thought that the people at this time could have a general consciousness with the people's wisdom that had been opened in later generations, and that in the era when they could not lose their first emperor and son of heaven, paying attention to pure civil rights was just a joke, at most a joke that was really not funny.

Planting a seed and setting a framework for its growth is the only thing Wu Zheng can do for this world, because Wu Zheng is not a god, let alone a savior, he has set a position for himself - he is the one who wants to make the Han people regain their glory...... Passers-by, passers-by who are obsessed with the love of the world.

Shi Lang naturally didn't understand why Wu Zheng insisted on fighting this battle with no hope of victory, if he was the boss, Shi Lang would not hesitate to order a retreat, just as he was at the forefront without fear of death at this time.

It's contradictory, but it's true.

I want to win!
