After leaving the Siam Palace, Xiao Ruxun returned to the barracks, ate and lived with the soldiers, stepped up training, and King Narui Xuan was also racing against time to send troops to transport grain and prepare for war against Burma. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yuan Huang.

The cooperation with Yuan Huang in North Korea was very pleasant, Xiao Ruxun even felt that he might not be able to find another person who could get along with Yuan Huang as well as a strategist and a literati with real skills, before leaving Beijing, he asked Song Yingchang and Shi Xing to help operate, and Yuan Huang was operated again on the Siamese battlefield as his praise painting After a period of operation, when he arrived in Macao, the news of success came, Yuan Huang had already gone south by boat.

These days are the days when Yuan Huang is scheduled to arrive, Xiao Ruxun is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally Yuan Huang is looking forward to it.

In Xiao Ruxun's plan, Yuan Huanghui is a very important part, he is a pragmatist, but also a doer, the early hardships and military career brought him a completely different temperament from ordinary literati, he has knowledge, literary talent, but more courage and courage.

The existence of Mr. Yuan Lifan can help Xiao Ruxun deal with many things that Xiao Ruxun is not good at, although civil affairs and military politics are the same, Xiao Ruxun has experience, but it is naturally good to have one more helper, when there is an urgent shortage of literati under his hands, Yuan Huang's appearance is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

He even thought about whether he could keep Yuan Huang by his side as his chief of staff after this war, and develop and operate Nanyang with him, with Yuan Huang's help, Xiao Ruxun's road would obviously be much easier.

Two days later, on the 23rd day of July in the 21st year of Wanli, Yuan Huang arrived at the camp of the Ming army.

"Hahaha! Yuan Gong! Don't come unharmed! ”

Xiao Ruxun personally led people to greet him outside the camp, and when he saw Yuan Huang with a smile on his face, he greeted him.

"The old man finished fighting the Japanese country, I thought that I could resign and retire, who would have thought that he was called by the military department just a few days after resting, saying that he was asked by the general to be transferred to serve in the army, the old man is still wondering which army which general wants the old man like the old man to serve, and after asking, I know that the old man guessed correctly, and it was really you! Xiao Jixin! ”

Yuan Huang arched his hand, and what came out of his mouth were words of reproach, but there was no reproach on his face.

"Hahahaha! This prince of the court, there are really few people who can get along well with Zaixia, Ye Mengxiong Gong is in order to be in the governor of the three provinces of logistics, he can't trouble his old man to make this praise painting in Xia, now, only please Yuan Gong suffer, come to do a praise painting again. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Ruxun stretched out his hand and handed the mung bean soup with ice cubes held by the soldiers on the side to Yuan Huang.

"The heat in the land of Siam is unbearable, Yuan Gong drink some mung bean soup! Beat the heat. ”

Yuan Huang took the mung bean soup, took a few sips, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's hot and stuffy at sea, and it's even more so when you get here, fortunately, the old man is a southerner, and he has lived in the hot place of the south for many years, and he is used to this kind of heat, so he won't be unaccustomed to the water and soil, but Ji Xin, you, you've been in the cool place in the northwest for a long time, won't you be unaccustomed to it?"

Yuan Huang looked at Xiao Ruxun for a moment, then raised his head and poured mung bean soup again.

"It is precisely because of the fear that I am not used to it, so these days I have been organizing soldiers to get up early in the morning to practice, running around the barracks every day, sweating violently as if they were washed with water, and then bathing with hot water, and then changing into dry clothes.

Yuan Huang nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, it's a very fatal thing to not adapt to the water and soil, Ma Yuan died on this back then, Ji Xin's hand is indeed correct, as long as the army maintains its combat strength, no one is afraid, as for the old man, although he has a handful of old bones, he still insists on dancing and boxing every day, otherwise how do you think the old man's sixty-year-old body and bones are blindly tossed with you, a young man in his twenties?" ”

"Yuan Gong is mighty!"

Xiao Ruxun couldn't stop laughing.

"Hahaha!"

Yuan Huang also laughed for a while, and then the old and the young went to the Ming army camp together.

Before arriving at the barracks, Yuan Huang saw a group of soldiers forming a formation outside the barracks for exercises, not only that, but also saw the gunmen holding guns in a line, walking in rows, shouting slogans to the sky, Yuan Huang looked up at the sky, and found that the time was almost noon.

"What? Early morning training, morning training, afternoon training, training all day? This kind of training intensity is too much, right? ”

Xiao Ruxun explained: "The early morning is mainly physical training, so that they can increase their physical fitness, be familiar with the climate, the projects are complicated, and most of them are personal training, and now the drill is the drill of the battlefield battle, the sword and shield gunners practice the big array, and the gunners also have to practice the three-stage shooting, and then the drill is the big array, the training of the soldiers and soldiers is forbidden to do the ability, for the tactical drill, the two are equally important, so they will practice separately, and besides, Yuan Gong, do you see those Xiyi near here?" ”

Yuan Huang glanced around the army of the large battalion, and indeed saw a lot of red-haired, golden-haired, and brown-haired foreigners.

"Why are there so many Francos here?"

Yuan Huang didn't know the nationality of these foreigners, but only knew about the Francois people, so he asked.

"These Xiyi are all hired by the King of Siam to help train the army's firearms tactics, as well as to fight on the battlefield, not only the King of Siam, but also the King of Dongwu also has a musket team composed of Xiyi, these Xiyi serve these little kings, help them fight and make money."

"These Francois people are really interesting, don't want a good hometown, they came here thousands of miles away, or they are here to fight, what are their ideas?"

Xiao Ruxun shook his head.

"I don't know what the idea is, I only know that these Xiyi have fought with the Ming Dynasty, so it will definitely not be a good stubble, this kind of training is not only to train the soldiers, but also to deter these Xiyi, let them know that my Ming army is strong, it is definitely not easy, these people see that the Ming Dynasty is so strong, and they don't dare to be delusional, naturally, it has the same effect on the Siamese people, you see, those people are Siamese people."

Xiao Ruxun pointed out a direction to Yuan Huang, and Yuan Huang saw a lot of brown-skinned Siamese people pointing at the Ming army.

"I see, to deter the enemy! It is indeed very necessary, the old man came all the way, and he didn't seem to see any pirates, and some small countries that stopped halfway saw that it was the Ming fleet and hurriedly came up to curry favor, send this and that, and don't need money to buy things, Ji Xin, you have not seen any military exercises along the way, right? ”

Seeing Yuan Huang's smiling appearance, Xiao Ruxun also smiled: "Since Zheng He, the Ming Dynasty has rarely shown force to these small countries, so that these effects have almost forgotten the existence of the Ming Dynasty, and now these places are turbulent and the situation is complicated, it is a good time for the Ming Dynasty to re-intervene." ”
