Huang Yingyun's feeling in the past few days is like a hillbilly entering the city and Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

In the past few days, accompanied by Ma Shiying and others, I have traveled to many places.

Seeing too many new things, he was dazzled and dizzy.

Huang Yingyun doesn't understand, how can a new city that is about to be built have no city walls, this is too incredible, isn't he afraid of the enemy attacking in the future, and there is no defense?

He didn't understand that without the imperial examination, he could easily enter the academy with the so-called college graduation certificate?

So how to put an end to cronyism in the college?

And how to prevent the formation of the precedent of the teacher?

But there is one thing that makes Huang Yingyun feel very ...... Interesting?

When he visited Jiangnan University, he happened to meet the college to open a semi-monthly forum, which is an open forum led by the college and the Ming Society.

The ordinary kind of forum for setting the main speaker was very common in the Ming Dynasty, for example, the Donglin Party often opened forums in various places on a regular basis, saying that it was to meet friends with literature, but in fact, it was nothing more than to recruit talents and win people's hearts.

So Huang Yingyun didn't find it strange.

But the strange thing is that the pulpit of the academy only has participants, and there is no keynote speaker.

This is strange in itself, but it can be understood as eclecticism.

What is puzzling is that the students are discussing some issues that should be taboo, at least not openly discussed in public.

For example, how should the General's Mansion survive in the future?

For example, should King Wu be self-reliant?

For example, if King Wu wins the world, whether to continue the cabinet system or centralize the imperial power, and so on.

Huang Yingyun was dumbfounded when he heard it, the Ming Dynasty was quite open to people's remarks, but there was no such "rebellious" discussion.

Huang Yingyun couldn't put the doubts in his heart into his mouth, because he was worried that he would violate other people's taboos, so he endured it and went to Songjiang Military Academy with Ma Shiying's arrangement.

Looking at the neat phalanxes with infantry platoons as units, Huang Yingyun felt that the army could still be trained to this extent?

An elite tiger ben, in fact, even ordinary people can see it at a glance.

It's not about their gear.

Even if it is a shirtless formation, it can be seen by ordinary people at a glance.

Because such an army has their unique momentum.

Even if there is only one person standing, it can give people the illusion that there is a column of people standing.

Huang Yingyun has never had such a palpitating feeling, it is a feeling that makes people feel stuffy in the chest.

It's like facing a mountain, with a heavy sense of oppression.

And when he went to watch the shooting training of the musketeers later, Huang Yingyun suddenly had the urge to scold, this is a cub selling Yetian, I don't know the heartache?

This shot was shot, it was all silver, and it was squandered like this?

But Huang Yingyun can still hold back.

After that, I went to visit the artillery training, and I couldn't help it.

Eight hundred gunners, training in turns with 100 guns, this deafening sound of cannons has not stopped since he came in.

This shocked Huang Yingyun even more, is this still training?

The Great Western Army also had artillery, and there were quite a few.

How dare you let soldiers train like this?

The gunpowder was quantitative, and the lead bullets and iron bullets could only be used to siege the city, and when it was rare to train, the stone bullets were chiseled out by stonemasons, and the charge was halved, just to save gunpowder.

How can these people in front of them be so badly trampled with heavy weapons?

The Great Western Army is afraid that it will be a big battle, and it will not be as expensive as such a day's training.

Huang Yingyun really couldn't help it, he asked Ma Shiying tentatively, "Master Ma, won't King Wu stop this kind of training method?" ”

Ma Shiying said casually: "The military academy has infantry drills and artillery drills for training, which were decided after consultation between the prince and the generals, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Huang Yingyun said in surprise: "With so many cannons, how much gunpowder and projectiles do you have to use...... Lord Ma, if this is used on the battlefield, how many Tartars will have to be killed? ”

Ma Shiying smiled: "Actually, Ma also thought so. ”

"Then you won't advise King Wu?"

Ma Shiying laughed and said, "Why haven't you persuaded me?" For this matter, not only Ma, but even the princes of the General's Mansion have persuaded him...... But the prince said that an elite division has to be fed with projectiles, and everything is on paper, so it is better to practice on the spot. No, in a word, no one can do anything. ”

Huang Yingyun was stunned, "Then doesn't King Wu feel sorry for the silver?" Can the General's Mansion afford such a squander? ”

Ma Shiying teased with a hint of ridicule: "Then you go and persuade our prince?" ”

Huang Yingyun heard Ma Shiying's ridicule, and he closed his mouth depressedly.

……。

On the third day, Huang Yingyun went to see the military workshop in Songjiang Mansion.

The buildings that stretched for dozens of miles were like dots in front of Huang Yingyun's eyes, which made Huang Yingyun's mouth open wide in shock and couldn't close it for a long time.

In the workshop, watching the steam engine "clang" forging, Huang Yingyun's brain was about to go into shock.

Is there really such a trick in the world?

Only then did he understand that Ma Shiying's ridicule was not malicious, because the Great General's Mansion could indeed afford this kind of training consumption.

But this made Huang Yingyun feel a little sad and indignant in his heart, if the Great Western Army has such a firearm, no, as long as half of it, no, no, even if there is only one percent, I am afraid that it will be time to fight Guizhou and recover Huguang.

When I saw four large warships being built at the same time in the dock, and when I saw that there were seventy-two guns on a battleship that was already installing gunwales.

Huang Yingyun finally said in an angry tone: "There is such an elite army under the command of King Wu, why not go on the Northern Expedition, what is King Wu waiting for?" ”

Ma Shiying looked at Huang Yingyun strangely and did not answer immediately.

Instead, he pointed to the battleship and said to Huang Yingyun: "Have you ever thought that these ships can go ashore?" ”

Huang Yingyun was stunned.

Ma Shiying explained: "In fact, two years ago, Ma asked my prince like you, this is the answer of the prince, have you ever thought that these ships can go ashore?" ”

Huang Yingyun opened his mouth wide, glared at Ma Shiying, and said for a long time: "But the ship can carry many people to ...... ashore." ”

"And then?" Ma Shiying looked at Huang Yingyun's expression and said busily, "These three words are also what the prince said to Ma." ”

Huang Yingyun did have an impulse to break out, he glared at the red eyes and said: "Then you can expel the Tartars, recover the northern land, and then you can restore my Ming Dynasty and revitalize the ...... of China." ”

"And then?" Ma Shiying said helplessly, "This is really what my prince asked Ma at that time." ”

Huang Ying's luck stomped his feet, "Regain the lost territory, and the society is stable...... How can there be so many then? ”

Ma Shiying said leisurely: "So, do you want to repeat the tragedy of Chongzhen's seventeenth year?" ”

Huang Yingyun suddenly closed his mouth, he seemed to have some understanding of the meaning of this sentence.
