"Soldiers?" A hint of confusion flashed in Ma Xintian's eyes.

"That's right, Bingyuan!" Wang Huan straightened up, rubbed his waist with his teeth, and cheered up: "Shizhu Mountain, basically semi-closed society, not much communication with the outside world, the quality of the people is simple, I have been here for many days, almost never heard of robbery, every village and every village, chickens and dogs smell each other, the neighborhood is harmonious, the children raised in such a place, there are few barbaric people, but they do not lose the courage of the people in the mountains and wilderness, this is the source of superior soldiers, there is no need to teach what is humane and righteous, and naturally I know that I am obedient to Shangguan and brave in battle, In addition, the stepmother has a good royal family, so she naturally has an iron-like military discipline. ”

"Besides, every village and every village is in-law, as the saying goes, father and son soldiers, tiger brothers, almost everyone in the white pole soldiers are related to each other, and when they fight against the enemy, one person dies in battle and all the people are angry, and unity is like one person."

"Military discipline and unity are the two only ways to strengthen the army, and the white pole soldiers have both of them, of course, they can be called first-class strong troops.

"That's why I said that the white pole soldiers can stand out under the hands of the righteous mother, in addition to the courage and wisdom of the righteous mother, another important factor is that the source of soldiers is too good, maybe except for the wolf soldiers in Guangxi, there is no one else in the Ming mainland."

Wang Huan finally sighed and said: "It's a pity that the stone pillar land is small and outnumbered, and the imperial court draws blood every year to recruit soldiers, and this excellent source of soldiers is dried up." ”

Ma Xintian listened like a dream, just one sentence, made him feel that he had taken a military and political lesson that he had never heard before, every sentence Wang Huan said was so reasonable, so close to the facts, he couldn't refute it, and went deeper into his mind, and he was stunned for a long time before he could digest the meaning of the words.

He just thought that the army should be like this, why are the soldiers and horses under the command of the general soldiers of other provinces so vulnerable, so wasteful, it turns out that there is so much knowledge on this military source.

Wang Huan followed and said: "However, the hundred-person team we are recruiting now are all outsiders, they come from complex sources, and there are all kinds of people, although I pay attention to screening, and the ones I choose are honest and stable people, but they lack the ruthlessness and fierceness of the Tujia family. ”

"So, I can only practice their qi, what qi? First is the backbone, then the courage, and finally the ambition, these three gases, even if they are not as good as the white pole soldiers, they are not much worse. ”

Ma Xintian nodded again and again when he heard this, he originally looked down on this young counselor's heart, and it was gone, although this set of theories, although he didn't know whether it was right or not, at least he fooled him into a happy and sincere way, but after thinking about it, he still asked: "But, my lord, you are now taking the lead in leading them to stand still, and it is also a qi practice?" ”

"That's right, practice the backbone, I want to let them have the backbone of a soldier within a month, Sun Ziyun: The army must be as fast as the wind, Xu Rulin, invade like fire, not moving like a mountain, difficult to know as yin, moving like thunder, before daring to call a hundred victorious strong army, except for the latter two are done by generals, the other four are a test of army discipline, which makes them stand still, just the first step, if you can't even do this, this army doesn't want it."

Ma Xintian Poker's face flashed with a hint of sudden realization again, and said: "The adults take the lead and take the lead in the military posture, which is also to stimulate morale, and at the same time, to establish the image of a general in their hearts, and lay the foundation for further intensive training in the future." ”

Wang Huan was a little surprised, Ma Xintian looked silent, like a stunned man, his mind was quite flexible, sure enough, he was a good general seed who had seen the world by Qin Liangyu's side, and the heart of recruitment was spontaneous, and now he was a general, this person can be cultivated.

Wang Huan looked at the few fireheads who came over with burdens in the distance, and patted Ma Xintian's shoulder with a smile: "Let's go, let's go eat first, and we'll talk about it after eating." ”

……

At this moment, hundreds of miles away in the mountain city of Chongqing, looking at the side of the dragon gate in the general army yamen, a brocade robe man is sitting behind the flower hall bookcase, holding a fine porcelain teacup, slowly tasting tea, a strong aroma of Longjing wafting in the hall, the smell is not moved, it is the best dragon well before the rain, even if it is the prince of the dynasty only a few catties of tribute every year.

But the two people kneeling in front of the bookcase completely ignored the fragrance of tea, and were sweating profusely and crying hoarsely, and even the Confucian cardigan robes they were wearing were wet with tears.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief, that local official is really hateful, he even disregarded the lives of the people, brazenly cut off the daily relief food supply, and forced the homeless people to go down the mine for him, my lord, the mine is unfathomable, it collapses all the time, and the people who go down the mine have no life, he was exchanging the flesh and blood of the people for his brocade clothes and jade food, you must eliminate this great harm for the people!"

"The barbarian is more than that, we are righteous, I want to use the words of the saint to enlighten him, so that the barbarian also understands the morality of the Gangchang, who knows that the barbarian has lived in the mountains for a long time, and the rotten wood cannot be carved, I just said a few words, he used a knife and a stick, beating me and other scholars, I am still famous, even the county respects each other with courtesy, but he does not care about the face of the court, punches and kicks me, my lord, look, you see, I still have bruises on my body!"

The two people kneeling on the ground were Liu Mingliang and another Xusheng, who were beaten by Wang Huan in front of Ma Chongming's house in Tubao Zhai the day before yesterday.

The brocade-robed man sitting upright took a sip of tea and glanced at Liu Mingming.

A tall officer in a flying fish suit standing behind Liu Mingliang understood, and immediately shouted: "The adults didn't ask you this, don't talk away!" ”

Liu Mingliang's body was upside down, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "Yes, yes, Xiaosheng is far away, far away...... What do adults ask? ”

He cried for a long time, crying with all his heart about what happened to him, and what the person behind the book case asked, he had long forgotten to Java.

Feiyufu kicked Liu Mingming's buttocks, kicked him in the head, and shouted: "Lord General Soldier asked you, is the matter of the Shizhu Silver Mine true or false?" Have you two seen it with your own eyes? ”

Liu Mingliang threw himself on the ground, his mouth knocked on the green bricks, and the blood flowed for a long time, but he didn't care to wipe it, and said busily: "It's true, it's true, after the barbarian beat me and other scholars, I was locked in a dungeon and starved for several days before I was released, and asked me if there was an algorithm, my lord, the method of calculation is a small plan on the left side of the door, I wait to study the sage books, how can I study?" Naturally not, the barbarian was ruthless, and he actually drove me out of the stone pillar, starving me and waiting! ”

He chattered, and brought the topic back to the matter of his own suffering, and the brocade-robed man behind the bookcase suddenly put the teacup down, and there was a "pop" sound, and a fierce and cold gaze suddenly shot in.

Liu Mingliang just raised his head, facing the cold light that only countless people can have, and suddenly splashed his face like cold water, trembling all over, and said in a panic: "Xiaosheng is far away again, far away, I waited until I left the stone pillar, I had been to the silver mining place, I originally wanted to reason with the barbarian again, but I saw that the silver mine was busy, there were countless homeless people digging there, through the rough wooden fence, I saw a cart of ore out of the mountain, transported to the smelting place, I also heard someone talking, the silver mine produces a thousand gold per day, The end is extremely rich. Unfortunately, the mine was heavily guarded, so I couldn't go in, so I could only take a look outside and leave. ”

The brocade robe man listened attentively, and asked a few more questions, Liu Mingliang was actually driven out by Wang Huan, where do you know the details, I don't know if you ask three questions, the brocade robe man was impatient, waved his hand, and said in a rough voice: "Okay, I know what you said, this general is the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, the prime minister of the military, political and civil affairs of Shuzhong Province, this matter has its own plan, you wait for the report to be meritorious, go down first, eat some hot food, find a place to rest, and this will have its own arrangements in the future." ”

Liu Mingliang and the two were overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked them, and Feiyufu summoned two personal soldiers and took them down.

When the two of them walked away, Feiyufu stood in front of the bookcase, and said in a deep voice: "Junmen, the shopkeeper Xu has been gone for nearly half a month, and even Xin'er has not returned a single one, and these two scholars have come to file a complaint again, it seems that Qin Liangyu's opening of the mine to extract silver is not a lie." ”
