"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime!"

"Tired? Is it bitter? ”

"That's right, if you don't get tired or bitter as a soldier, you don't deserve to be a soldier!"

On Hulu Island, Shang Kexi, the deputy head of the whale department, opened his voice wide, and roared fiercely at the group of sweaty Hongtang soldiers below.

Since coming to Hongmen, Shang Kexi began to re-study the military training in Hongmen, which was different from that of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time he began to make up for the lack of formal military theory.

The advanced weapons of the Hongtang army, which is unimaginable in the old department of Mao Wenlong, who lacked food and clothing on Dongjiang Island, Shang Kexi has just arrived, although he is very valued by Li Tianyang, and has been called by Li Tianyang many times to communicate in front of him, but the matter of the loyalty of the food king, Shang Kexi is not a half-hearted person, and he is holding the rich money that Hongmen has opened for him, and he naturally has to work hard to prove that he is worthy of this value.

Even Shang Kexi himself didn't know why Li Tianyang was interested in himself, compared to the director of Hongmen, shouldn't it be Geng Zhongming's group who had coerced most of the water division forces in Dongjiang Town, and what was more in line with Hongmen's taste?

However, Shang Kexi can leave his name in the history of the Qing Dynasty, there must be its merits, in the two years spent under the command of Hongmen, Shang Kexi has already understood the advanced tactics of Hongmen combined with flintlock pistols and land artillery, and has his own deeper insights and understanding.

Compared with the daily training that had long been abandoned in the Ming Dynasty, the Hongtang soldiers never stopped practicing twice a day in the morning and evening, and then brought a team of well-trained and capable soldiers, which were more than a step stronger than the soldiers in Dongjiang Town.

Shang Kexi was also glad in his heart that his choice was not wrong, if not, how could he lead such an elite army!

Of course, because Hongmen's actual army reported to the military department is only less than 20,000 people today, that is to say, there are almost 30,000 troops that are still not officially known.

Therefore, this fashionable official position is gratifying, nominally the deputy of Li Tianyang's Fujian Naval Division, but in fact he is only the deputy head of the Hongmen Whale Department.

In this regard, Shang Kexi thought that he was contemptuous of himself when he first came, but after a long time of contact with Hongmen, he felt that this was a special kindness to himself.

As an outsider, being able to be among the many henchmen who have made great contributions in Hongtang or this honor can be regarded as Li Tianyang's special treatment for this historical celebrity who can remember the name of one of the few in his memory!

Since the establishment of Hongtang, Li Tianyang and they have been pursuing military merit promotion, even Wu Jie and the others who grew up together since childhood, and they have been promoted again and again in exchange for their own ability, although Li Tianyang has more or less selfish cultivation, but compared to the situation that the middle and high positions in the Ming Dynasty have been controlled by those military attachés and nobles, this Hongmen can be regarded as an extremely fair competition platform.

Therefore, Shang Kexi came to Hongmen Dayuan Island and truly understood the Hongmen Constitution, and plunged into the ocean of knowledge in his thirties and prime, and the hardships are self-evident.

Now that Hongmen is going north to North Korea and fight with the Jurchens, this news is no secret to the upper echelons of Hongmen, and for Shang Kexi, who has been fighting with the Jurchens for most of his life, this is simply a godsend, a great opportunity for him to prove his ability in Hongmen.

Hongmen also needed a commander who had a full understanding of the Korean Peninsula and understood the actual situation of the Jurchens, so as to effectively avoid unnecessary losses of their own troops.

Throughout Hongmen, only Shang Kexi, a martial warrior who had dealt with the Jurchens for more than ten years, had this experience, so he became the only choice to go north to support the North Korean commander this time.

Huludao was trained by Shang Kexi at this time, and he was the elite drawn from the four departments of Hongtang, and he was also the main team of Hongmen to go to North Korea next.

Taking advantage of the gap between preparing supplies and waiting for the opportunity, Shang Kexi and Wu Jie were concentrating on running in this patchwork army.

Although it is an army temporarily drawn from Hongmen, it is completely different from the Ming army, it is only a small half a month of running-in, and Shang Kexi has not felt any incongruity in this army at all.

Hongmen's strict militarization training makes the entire Hongtang team as if it was printed out of a mold, and it basically doesn't take too much run-in to make a temporarily drawn army like an arm, which is really a very surprising trait for Shang Kexi.

Not to mention Hongtang's military ethics, in dealing with the various regulations when the army was scattered and defeated in wartime, in the several military exercises that Shang Kexi experienced, he felt the strength of it, and he was deeply attracted by this army, always thinking that he could command such a magical army to show it well on the actual battlefield, and it was not in vain to follow Rong's experience for so many years.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The fighting spirit of the soldiers at the bottom is high, unlike the soldiers in the Ming army, who are monks for a day and hit the clock for a day, always eating and drinking with dead eyebrows and eyes, even if there are drills twice a day in the morning and evening, every soldier in Hongtang has always been in strict training with high spirits.

The most important thing that makes Shang Kexi sigh at the magic of the Hongtang army is that after the Hongtang army rests at night, there will be countless soldiers who will get together to accept the teachings of the gentlemen of the Hongmen night school, learn to read and write, and be familiar with the knowledge and truth in the book.

There are also the middle and low-level leaders of Hongtang, who always lead by example, guiding the attitudes and actions of their colleagues behind them with practical actions.

Most of these middle and low-level non-commissioned officers are graduates of the Hongmen Bengang Academy, and they have received education from the bottom, made military achievements, and have been recommended by their peers to be promoted, so they can be more supported by the low-level soldiers, which is in stark contrast to the situation that many times in the Ming Dynasty will not know the soldiers, and the soldiers will not know the generals.

Only after a period of time in the Hongtang army, you will always have confidence in such a vigorous team, and believe that its future prospects will be extremely bright.

Shang Kexi looked at the sweaty and aggressive soldiers below, glad that his choice was correct, and at the same time, he was extremely looking forward to the next blockbuster performance of the Hongtang team in the Korean battlefield.
