Chapter 1443: Impressive

This time he was ordered to enter Beijing, and Wu Zheng only brought a hundred followers.

According to the title of King Wu, the number of followers can reach up to 864.

But according to what Wu Zheng said, if something really happens, there is no difference between more than 800 people and 100 people.

Rather than being blamed, be generous.

This is the Northern Expeditionary Army retreating to the south along the road, and it is peaceful, even if it is temporary, and it is a happy thing to see the father, mother, wife and children at home.

The important thing is that if you win the war, not only will you win the war, but you will also tear off the fattest piece of meat on the Qing court.

No, that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that in the past ten years, the scene of the Han people being pressed and beaten by the Manchus has been subverted after this war, and the scene of more than 100 Manchu cavalry being able to break up thousands of them is gone forever.

This is very important, confidence is important at all times, even if there are heavy casualties, it cannot hide the heartfelt laughter of the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

As King Wu's carriage went north, the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army solemnly saluted their commander along the way, and the reverence in their eyes was by no means comparable to that of a prince who had won the throne by hereditary succession.

It was a kind of respect, awe and ...... from the heart Cordial.

Wu Zheng didn't have the slightest interest in interacting with the soldiers, he stayed quietly in the carriage, he was closing his eyes and recuperating.

Compared with Ma Shiying's surprise, Li Hao and Song Yingxing, who were finally dragged into the carriage, were watching from the probe, and they were watching all the way.

To be honest, they really hadn't seen this legendary Northern Expeditionary Army that made the enemy "frightened" before.

Spiritual qi can infect people the most, not to mention the spiritual qi of tens of thousands of soldiers who have triumphed all the way.

"With such a hundred thousand tigers, the world can get it...... What's more, my king has more than 200,000 such tigers. Li Hao glanced at Wu Zheng with his eyes closed, Wu Zheng seemed to be asleep, obviously Li Hao said this to Ma Shiying.

Song Yingxing also couldn't help nodding in agreement.

Also, if the Ming Dynasty had such an elite division, it would not need 100,000, only 30,000 to deploy in Liaodong, which would be enough to make it difficult for the Manchus to surpass Lei Chi.

Ma Shiying said with a smile, "Brother Zhongfu, if the prince wants to win the championship, he already has the strength to sweep the north three years ago. ”

Li Hao was slightly stunned, glanced at Wu Zheng, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't Wang Yezhi here?" ”

Ma Shiying said with a slight meaning: "It is my duty to recover the lost land and recover China, but it is called ambition, as far as the prince's chest is concerned...... It's small. ”

"Please teach Ma Lao!" Li Hao solemnly bowed to Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying looked more proud, he was honored a lot in his life, Master Ma, Master Ma, Ma Xiang, Zai Fu, etc., only at this moment, by a celebrity like Li Hao respectfully called "Ma Lao", I felt that this life was not in vain, and my heart was as comfortable as drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup in the hot summer.

"Buwu the world, prestige overseas...... But wherever there is the sun and moon flag, it is my Han land! Ma Shiying was a little excited, this is rare, and it is even more rare to let a "traitor" who has been as oily as a loach for almost his whole life re-exude the spirit of a bloody young man.

Li Hao and Song Yingxing glanced at each other in astonishment, and slowly bowed their heads.

"Old horse, don't flash your old waist." I don't know when, Wu Zheng has already opened his eyes, and said playfully to Ma Shiying, who is serious and impassioned.

Ma Shiying's old face turned red and said with a smile: "The old man talks about juvenile madness...... made the prince smile. ”

Wu Zheng nodded slightly, and turned to Li Hao, "Your knowledge, this king knows a little, and the Ming style applies to the four characters, this king thinks so, the Tao is not false, learning is expensive and effective, learning is not enough to open things to succeed, and it is difficult to help the times...... The General's Mansion has been criticized by the world for several years, and now the war is resting, and it is rare to have a chance to breathe, this king can give you the opportunity to display your talents, let go of your hands, and hope that you will live up to the expectations of this king. ”

Li Hao's eyes lit up, blessed to his soul, and said solemnly: "The prince treats Li Hao as a national soldier, and Li Hao will repay him as a national soldier." ”

"Good, good." Wu Zheng turned to Song Yingxing, "What do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of our army?" ”

Song Yingxing was slightly stunned, thought for a while and said: "Our army is a great victory and a mighty army, only strengths, where are the shortcomings?" ”

Wu Zheng laughed and said: "It is said that flattery can infect people, but an idle person like Mr. was also infected by Ma Shiying?" ”

Song Yingxing said: "There are mountains outside the mountains, and no one is perfect." No matter how elite the tiger is, it is not without weaknesses, but if it can defeat the enemy, then don't talk about shortcomings and defects. ”

Wu Zheng was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Mr. said that it is right, there has never been a perfect army in this world, and it seems that this king is pretentious and fastidious...... Then please ask the gentleman for advice, where else can our army improve and improve? ”

Seeing that Wu Zheng was as good as a stream, Song Yingxing stroked his short beard and said: "The minister doesn't know the army, but when he looks at it all the way, he is slightly aware of one or two...... Our army is full of fighting spirit and high morale, which is necessary for an elite, but the enemy also has this. The ministers thought that what our army lacked was speed, and it was difficult for the stubborn enemy to travel on horseback, and it could travel hundreds of miles in one night...... The truth that the imperial power is ten steps away and within a thousand miles should be familiar to the prince. ”

Wu Zheng laughed and said: "Sir really has sharp eyes, just by this glance, he knows the weakness of our army...... Anything else? ”

Song Yingxing thought for a while and continued: "Looking at our army's weapons, they are nothing more than firearms, but although firearms are sharp, they are not without drawbacks, such as gunpowder replenishment, transportation, and more or less affected by the weather, when facing the enemy, if the enemy attacks with the advantage of fast cavalry, even if our army wins, I am afraid it will be a disastrous ......victory." ”

Wu Zheng quietly listened to Song Yingxing's words, and solemnly arched his hand and said: "Mr. knows what our army lacks, so after today, I must rely on Mr. to make up for the shortcomings of our army." ”

Song Yingxing was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Even if the minister has a heart, it is not the power of one person to help the prince's ......." ”

Wu Zheng smiled and said: "This king has a way to deal with it, but there is a lack of a capable person like Mr. who can put the ideas in this king's heart into practice, and now with Mr., this king can sit back and relax." ”

Song Yingxing asked in surprise: "The prince really has a solution to this?" ”

Wu Zheng nodded and asked, "Sir, have you heard that the General's Mansion has been building a railway from Hangzhou to Wusong in the past year?" ”

Song Yingxing nodded and said, "I've heard of it...... It's just that the minister doesn't understand, how does this railway make two legs faster than four legs? ”

Wu Zheng laughed, "Sir, if you go and see it with your own eyes, you can understand...... This king guarantees that only when the railway is completed, then, the imperial power in the mouth of the gentleman can be changed to the imperial power within 10,000 miles, and the speed advantage of the northern Tartar war horses will also be quickly compensated and replaced. ”

Song Yingxing was shocked when he heard this.
