Sun Chengzong's training methods in Liaodong, Cui Zizhong inquired clearly through various channels. Sun Ge Lao still uses the traditional training method of the Ming Dynasty (elite family Ding plus ordinary cannon fodder).

Regarding Sun Gelao's newly trained soldiers, Cui Zizhong was very unoptimistic. Cui Zizhong's research shows that this kind of scattered and formed soldiers will have no win or loss against Nurhachi nine times out of ten.

Cui Zizhong was very afraid: once the war in Liaodong resumed, if the Ming Dynasty would be defeated again; After that, would the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty still dare to face the army of Houjin? It is likely that the Ming army will lose confidence in the battle with the Houjin field.

If the army of the Ming Dynasty only dared to hide behind the Ningyuan defense line, but let the Houjin army come and go, then what was the point of the Ningyuan defense line?

Even if Houjin is dead-eyed, he will only keep attacking Ningyuan's defense line. But can Daming last a long time? That Ningyuan defense line, according to Cui Zizhong's estimate, will have to be maintained by millions of taels of silver a year, right?

Thinking of the kind of scene that Daming might appear in the future, Cui Zizhong shuddered.

Cui Zizhong consulted all the battle records of Nurhachi in the Ming Dynasty. He found that Nurhachi was really capable of winning a hundred battles. Especially in the field, Nurhachi's troops generally suffered very few battle losses.

The Ming Dynasty against the Houjin troops, only the white pole soldiers of Qin Liangyu, the Shi Yan Tusi, and the Zhejiang army left by Qi Jiguang played a good exchange ratio against Nurhachi (the Battle of the Hunhe River in the Battle of Liaoshen). Even if they fail, they can always inflict a heavy blow on Nurhachi.

And these two armies are very formation-oriented armies, which gives Cui Zizhong a lot of room for conjecture.

Perhaps, a well-formed army can restrain Nurhachi's Eight Banners Army. Even if you can't be completely restrained, as long as there is a good exchange ratio, Da Ming can accept it.

Compared with the substitution, Daming has an incomparably strong capital, and Houjin can't afford to change it.

In order to support Cui Zizhong's strategic concept, the Ming Dynasty must have a strictly disciplined and well-organized army.

The appearance of the Qingzhou Youth Team gave Cui Zizhong hope. He desperately hoped that the imperial court could use the training methods of those teenagers to train an army that restrained Houjin.

In Cui Zizhong's view, this matter is related to the future of Daming, which is more important than anything else.

It's a pity that Cui Zizhong's position is so small that no one pays attention to his suggestion. And the dragon face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, that is not something that Cui Zizhong, a little Shujishi, can see.

In desperation, Cui Zizhong could only take the extreme method of beating the Dengwen drum. He only hoped that his views could smoothly reach the ears of the emperor, adding a few more possibilities for the Ming Dynasty to win in the future. As for Cui Zizhong's own future, he did not consider it.

Cui Zizhong's behavior is a true portrayal of a typical "humble and dare not forget the country".

Daming Cui Zizhong, the real country is also.

Above the palace of the capital, with Cui Zizhong's narration, the anger of the court bosses became stronger and stronger, and the eyes of Cui Zizhong became more and more unkind.

Just for this trivial matter, Cui Zizhong dared to beat the Dengwen drum, and he didn't know how to live or die!

Wei Zhongxian kept peeking at the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, as long as the emperor showed the slightest anger, he would immediately stop Cui Zizhong and send him to prison.

The crime of beating the drum and playing with the Son of Heaven is enough to send Cui Zizhong to hell.

To Wei Zhongxian's surprise, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had no displeasure all along.

The carpenter emperor listened to his courtiers so attentively, this was really the first time in the world.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, on the throne, felt very interesting.

This was the first time he had heard a courtier perform such a recital. It's not a flowery article, and there's nothing big about it. Some are just various data, all kinds of data about Nurhachi in Liaodong.

"Oh, this kid's recital is somewhat similar to Xiao Wu and I'm discussing the drawings." Zhu Youxiao found a familiar source of Cui Zizhong's performance model. This data pattern is intriguing to him.

A good carpenter will of course be sensitive to data, and Zhu Youjiao is a very good carpenter.

What Cui Zizhong said, Zhu Youxiao could easily understand. He thought leisurely: "It would be nice if all the princes of the court could speak like this, which would save time and be easy to understand." ”

In fact, Cui Zizhong was also helpless to report like this. The stakes are so high, and he can't make a splendid article in a subtle way. He can only use the most impressive expressions.

What way to most clearly express the value of the things he admires is, of course, the most intuitive data comparison.

In the main hall, Cui Zizhong finished the last sentence of the playbook.

Cui Zizhong slowly knelt down, slowly bowed to the ground, and said no more.

Cui Zizhong's heart was extremely peaceful, and he did the best he could for Daming. As for the rest, Cui Zizhong is no longer distracted to consider.

A smile appeared on the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and he turned his face sideways and asked Wei Zhongxian softly: "The Qingzhou boy he said is from the Xinwang Zhuangzi, right?" ”

"Yes." Wei Zhongxian didn't know what Emperor Bai Qi meant, but he could see the emperor's smile very clearly, and it was by no means a sign of anger.

"Is that the guard that King Shin prepared for Qian Zhuang?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked again softly, and the smile on his face became a little thicker.

"This ......" Wei Zhongxian went through the information of all the Qingzhou teenagers in his heart. He was surprised to find that according to the direction in which the young man was going, it seemed to be the direction of Zunhua. King Xin is building a warehouse on the front line of Zunhua, and it seems very reasonable for the teenagers to be guards.

But how would His Majesty know?

There is really nothing to talk about between His Majesty and King Shin.

A faint jealousy rose in Wei Zhongxian's heart, after all, King Xin is His Majesty's own brother! The grace of the king was by no means comparable to his.

After settling down, Wei Zhongxian replied softly: "Yes, Your Majesty." Looking at the direction of the young man in Qingzhou, it should be the escort selected by His Royal Highness King Xin for Zunhua Qianzhuang. ”

"Hmm." The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded in satisfaction. He was telling Wei Zhongxian in this way that the young man in Qingzhou had known for a long time.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse's heart was filled with joy.

Why do you need to be reminded by the court, I have already mastered that kind of training method, and the Qingzhou teenager is just a part of the experiment. (Yes, Xiao Wu is talking about the test product)

I also know that the destination of the Qingzhou teenager is not Zunhua but Xifengkou, and the grassland is the final testing ground for Xiao Wu's choice. As long as the experimental results are good, this training method will be gradually implemented in the Beijing camp.

The world of my Zhu family still depends on our brothers to protect it.

A deep sense of pride rose in the heart of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Looking at Cui Zizhong kneeling in the main hall, the smile on the corner of the Apocalypse Emperor's mouth became even stronger.

This reckless boy is really an outlier among the courtiers, and I like it very much.

However, beating the drums and disturbing my life can't spare him.

Emperor Tianqi made up his mind in his heart, and he whispered to Wei Zhongxian: "Big companion, this kid is very interesting, arrange for him to go to Xinwang Huangzhuang, and tell him to study well." ”

With the sound of retreat.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse and the courtiers were gone.

Cui Zizhong, who was kneeling in the hall, was stunned.

What's going on?

Is Your Majesty completely ignoring me?

There was no commendation, which was expected by Cui Zizhong, but there was no punishment, and Cui Zizhong really couldn't figure it out.

Can the Dengwen drum be played casually now?

"Cui Hanlin, don't kneel, let's go." The two Han generals approached and interrupted Cui Zizhong's thoughts.

That's right.

Cui Zizhong slowly got up from the ground, and he silently looked at the magnificent hall.

"Alas, it may be difficult to see each other again in this life."
