Chapter 542: Don't Do Things That Don't Do No Good
Well, whether it's a bully or a good person, you still have to live, and you can't delay the business because of a stupid girl. Xie Hong sighed, and 'eyebrows' with the stupid girl again, well, this time he also glanced at the past.
"This ...... Miss, this is okay, how about Benhou arrange someone to escort you back to Daning? After thinking about it, Xie Hong added: "Although I may not be able to catch up with Hua Tongzhi and them, I should ...... Uh, Brother Jiang, help translate it. ”
Halfway through his words, Xie Hong remembered that this was a stupid girl in front of him - he was left in a strange place and stared at himself stupidly, isn't this stupid? With such an IQ, eighty percent can't understand what they mean, so it's safer to convey it through Jiang Bin, a rough person.
"I'm not going back to the tribe, I'm going to wait here for my people." But Yu'er's response told Xie Hong that the little princess of Wuliangha was not stupid at all, otherwise how could she make up nonsense immediately with a roll of her eyes?
"Uh...... "Since this girl is not stupid, why do you do stupid things?" Waiting for her people in the Golden State? I can't wait for a lifetime, but it's not good to tell her, Xie Hong touched his chin, sighed and said, "Okay, come here, find a place for this young lady, and then settle down first, and wait for Hua Tongzhi to have news." ”
"Are you going to devise any conspiracy? That's why you're in a hurry to get rid of me? Yu'er's eyes turned around again, and then showed a self-familiarity that was more direct than Yang Haoran.
"Hah...... Not. Jiang Bin and Yang Haoran both lost their laughter, and only when they laughed did they react that it was wrong, they covered their mouths at the same time, and peeked at Xie Hong, it was rare to see Hou Ye's deflated appearance, how could he not look at it twice?
"What's so funny?" Xie Hong first rolled his eyes, and then glared angrily at the two snickering guys, and then waved his hand impatiently: "What Ben Hou wants to discuss is a military matter, what does it have to do with you little girl, why don't you retreat quickly?" If you want to be entangled again, beware of the ruthlessness of military law! ”
"Cut, who is rare!" Yu'er stuck out her tongue and grimaced at Xie Hong, then turned around and followed behind the pro-soldier who led the way. When she looked at Xie Hong and the others, she still had a puffed up and unconvinced expression, but when she turned around, she was already smiling like a flower.
This girl is really weird, why are you still happy after being scolded by her brother? Could it be a masochistic tendency? Yu'er thought that her secret smile could hide from Xie Hong, even if she only glanced at her from behind, Xie Hong also sensed her joy, and she was a little confused.
But it's still important to get down to business, Xie Hong is very busy now, how can he have time to guess a little girl's mind? What's more, it's still a Tartar child who has nothing to do with him?
"Mr. Yang, what is the important thing you are here this time?" Xie Hong asked solemnly.
"Actually, it's nothing important...... Yang Haoran scratched his head, his eyes wandered around, and then a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"You're late, the crow has already gone to Jizhen to take up his post, Lao Yang, is there something that can't open your mouth, so you want the crow to help you?" Jiang Bin teased.
He doesn't have much contact with Yang Haoran, but the other party's spleen surname is quite his appetite, and there are no outsiders next to him at this time, so he is not familiar with the other party. In addition, with Xie Hong's current identity, it is not good to be too enthusiastic about the general soldiers of a town, and he has no such scruples, which can be regarded as playing a role of superiority and subordinates.
"Ah, Brother Wu is gone? When passing through Liaoyang, it is not ...... Uh, isn't it? Yang Haoran was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he was angry, he remembered the ship he saw in the port.
"That's right, the crows are on boats." Jiang Bin nodded.
Although there is no port in the Shanhaiguan area, but only to transport a dozen people, there is no need to be so troublesome, just find a similar place, the sea route is open, of course, there is no need to go around in Liaodong.
"Lao Yang, they are all their own people, it's not the same whether there are crows or not, you can just say anything, don't hide it, it's boring."
"The main thing is that I haven't seen the respect of the Hou Ye and the brothers for a long time, and I miss it very much in my heart......" Yang Haoran slapped a few words of sycophancy, and saw that Xie Hong's face began to turn cloudy, so he hurriedly said the topic: "By the way, I also came to ask for war on behalf of the brothers in Liaozhen." ”
"Please? Right now? Xie Hong raised his eyebrows, and asked in surprise: "Mr. Yang, who are you going to fight?" ”
"This ......" Yang Haoran was a little embarrassed.
Before Wang Shouren left, he reminded Xie Hong to guard against Duoyan Sanwei, and although Xie Hong had a plan, he did not relax his vigilance.
At the same time, the next step of Xie Hong's new policy has also been detailed, that is, to confer land with military merits.
Since the retreat to control the hail, Xie Hong's reputation in Liaodong has been unparalleled for a while, and the entire Liao army and people have wholeheartedly supported him, and the news of the military merit award is like pouring hot oil on a hot pot, and the army's heart is boiling at once.
The cries of war came and went, especially the garrisons of Guangning and Shenyang Zhuwei, who practiced during the day and sharpened their knives at night, all of them were eager to come quickly, if it were not for the military order, these people would even take the initiative to attack Daning directly.
The border army put on a boiling and murderous posture, Hua Dang bore the brunt, of course, he also noticed that after receiving Xie Hong's letter, he would immediately come to Jinzhou in person, and it was not unrelated to this, no one was afraid of it.
When Hua entered the country, Yang Haoran also received the news as soon as possible, and he was also gearing up, but as soon as he saw that there were envoys coming and going, his heart was half cold.
If you want to negotiate, you may not be able to fight! Even if you don't mention the military merit award, what Lao Yang yearns for most is the Prancing Horse for thousands of miles, opening up territory for the Ming Dynasty, how can he watch the opportunity slip away from his eyes? So, after he explained the defense, he chased after Huadang and ran to Jinzhou.
He has a good relationship with the crow, so he is also quite familiar with the latter's subordinates, so while waiting outside, he also asked about the situation in the school yard, and this time it was even more cold from head to toe.
Hou Ye took out all the wind and thunder on Kyushu Island, how can the Tartars not be afraid? If the little prince of the Tatar tribe may not believe in evil, but he can rely on Duoyan Sanwei...... The progress of the situation is also completely in line with his expectations, Hua Dang slammed his head on the ground, not only followed Yongle's example, but even sacrificed his daughter, this is still a fart?
However, he was not completely disappointed, because he found another opportunity, and, in addition to asking for war, he also had a little bit of his own caution, but without the crow help, he was also worried in his heart, and it took him a long time to make his words clear.
"You're going to the Wa Kingdom?" Xie Hong smiled dumbly.
It is necessary to professionalize and elite the army, and whether it is the forbidden army or the border army in Beijing, it is necessary to change. With the current conditions, awarding military merits is the most practical method, and as for whether a better system should be adopted after the start of the industrial revolution, that is a later story, and Xie Hong could not predict it for a while.
But now it seems that the reaction of the border army in Liaozhen was a little too enthusiastic, looking at Yang Haoran with an eager face, Xie Hong was happy and sad.
The good thing is that during the Zhengde period, the border army of the Ming Dynasty was not rotten to the same extent as the end of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was personal combat strength or spirit, it was maintained very well, but it was suppressed by the civilian officials.
Thinking about it, when he was in Xuanfu, Zhengde suddenly appeared, and the morale of the border army was also greatly increased, and he directly beat the Tartar to a disgraced face, and he didn't dare to turn his head south for several months.
Not to mention the history of the world, Zhengde's forbidden army and the little prince's royal tent elite soldiers still had a heads-up, the result of that time was a little better, the little prince did not dare to Koubian for several years, and for a longer time, he did not dare to go deep even if he was Koubian.
Therefore, if you want to improve the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, Xie Hong does not need to train the troops personally, as long as the military system, logistics, and weapons are improved, it is enough, plus the guards trained by Zhengde himself, he does not need to spend any energy in this regard.
However, there is also trouble in this matter, the army's fighting spirit is high, if it is suppressed, maybe it will hold back internal injuries, and you still have to find a way to channel, but the country is not a good place for guidance.
"Yes, Master Hou, you don't know, the call for war below is higher and higher, and the book of war is called more, and my study is almost unable to put it down." Seeing that Xie Hong's expression was somewhat relaxed, Yang Haoran hurriedly knocked on the corner.
"Since the Tartars in the north have been softened, then we won't embarrass them, but since the Hou Ye wants to fight the Wa Kingdom, how can he not use the soldiers of Liaozhen, but get some Tartars? It's not that I'm bragging, even if it's the most elite cavalry in the Duoyan Division, it's actually not as good as the family under my command, not to mention, the Hou Ye is benevolent, and he has lenient them, if you don't need the elite, those shepherds are not powerful. ”
Xie Hong waved his hand and sighed: "Alas, Mr. Yang, I understand what you mean, but the Japanese side is different from what you imagined, what I want is not elite, but cannon fodder for consumption." ”
"Huh?" Not to mention Yang Haoran, even Jiang Bin was taken aback, before Wang Shouren left, he also discussed with Xie Hong the economic problems of the coming year, and Xie Hong also said that he would solve it from the Japanese country, but now it seems that things seem a little strange.
"Master Hou, aren't you planning to capture the Wa Kingdom?"
"Of course not, General Yang Bing, although the country of Wa does not seem to be big, it has a considerable population, at least a few million, so many people, how many soldiers will be captured?" Xie Hong shook his head and said to Jiang Bin again: "Brother Jiang, when we attacked Fujiang Island at night, you also saw it, what do you think of those Japanese warriors?" ”
"Outlaws, it's a little tricky." Just talking about martial arts or something, the warriors of the Japanese Kingdom are just like that, of course Jiang Bin will not take it seriously, but the other party was attacked first, and there was a huge disparity in combat power, but few surrendered, and many people fought to the last moment, what is this not an outlaw?
"If you want to completely occupy it, it will be very difficult, and even if you succeed, the casualties will be very large, and the most important thing is that there is no benefit to doing it, there is no benefit to it, why should we do it." Xie Hong stretched out his hands and concluded.
