The Ming Dynasty is completely different from the Great Song Dynasty, when the Great Song Dynasty was established, there was a threat of the Great Liao in the north, and there were threats such as Xixia, Tubo, Dali and Hui in the west, it can be said that the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty was on a powder keg, looking at the history of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 300 years, all the time was in response to the battle at the border pass, but Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, who was born as a military general, was afraid that the military general controlled too much power and seized the throne of the Zhao family. Therefore, the power of the military generals was weakened to the greatest extent by releasing the military power with a glass of wine, and the status of the civil servants was elevated, and the military generals were restricted by the civil ministers, resulting in the army almost being in a weak state since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is different, the first thing to pay attention to is the construction of the army, the courage of the Ming army, the strictness of military discipline, the world knows, the Ming army everywhere, has been supported by the people, especially in the pacification of many riots in the south, the Ming army really did not commit any crimes in the autumn, do not move the people's stitches, which makes the people's hearts attached to the side of the Ming army, those who want to be loyal to the Yuan court, the ambitious officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and those who want to establish themselves as kings, are vulnerable in front of the Ming army.

The Ming army was not weaker than the Mongolian army in terms of bravery, and it was even better than the Mongolian army in terms of the supply of the army.

When Kublai Khan inherited the throne of the Mongol Great Khan, the Mongolian court did not have a real Yulu system, and the reward for the civil and military ministers was to divide the territory, and the place where the feudal was divided could be plundered by the rewarded civil and military ministers, and later Kublai Khan found that this could not be done, which would definitely lead to the imperial court being unable to really control it, and would also be desperately opposed by the common people, and the dynasty could not really gain a foothold, so he began to follow the example of the Great Song Dynasty and established the official Yulu system, and prohibited the arbitrary exploitation of the people.

It is a pity that Kublai Khan did not think of implementing the Yulu system among the Mongol army, especially among the Mongol iron cavalry.

The sergeants of the Mongolian iron cavalry are almost all sergeants of the Mongol tribes, and there are also a small number of Semu people, all of whom are accustomed to nomadic life, relying on nomadism to obtain wealth, after entering the army, this habit has not changed, but the wealth is obtained by plundering in the process of conquest.

At that time, the army of the Mongol court was able to go out to conquer repeatedly, and the expenses of the court were able to be maintained, which was one of the most important reasons, after all, the Mongol court was not responsible for the salary of each sergeant, so it could save a lot of expenses.

Kublai Khan was forced to do this, after all, the number of Mongolian troops was huge, and the cost of maintaining the Mongolian iron cavalry required a lot of money, which was not something that the imperial court could afford.

Ahoma was trusted and reused by Kublai Khan, and became the prime minister of the Mongol court and the Yuan court, because he had a very good ability in taxation and wealth accumulation, and maintained the expenses of the Mongol army in terms of grain and grass every time, so that the Mongol court survived difficulties again and again.

However, there are gains than losses, Kublai Khan knows very well that the reputation of the Mongolian army is very bad, no matter where it goes, the first thing the Mongolian army does is to loot, or even slaughter the city, and the measures to stabilize the local people do not exist, even the local officials have a lot of opinions, after all, after the army, the local affairs are still needed to complete the local affairs.

The Ming army is completely different, Wu Shaogang is under tremendous pressure, trying his best to open up sources and reduce expenditure, to ensure the cost of military salaries, although the military salary of the sergeant is not very high, it can be used to support the family enough, and the reward system of the Ming army is very clear and clear, the sergeant who has made meritorious service on the battlefield will definitely be rewarded, even if he is killed, the court and the local government will also consider the life of his family, and the money of the one-time subsidy for the fallen soldier is enough for his family to maintain their life.

This is tantamount to maintaining the dignity of the military.

Because Yu Lu had a guarantee, the military discipline of the Ming army was quite strict, and the officers and sergeants would never dare to disobey it.

Interestingly, those sergeants who were accustomed to burning, killing and looting in the Mongolian army, once they entered the Ming army, they had no problems, and they would never dare to violate military discipline and military rules, and strictly and exemplaryly abide by them.

This is known as the most magical place in the Ming army, in fact, this is not a miracle, it is nothing more than the formulation and implementation of military regulations are quite strict, no matter who is the same, since there are such strict rules in front of them, no fool is willing to risk his life.

As for the status of the sergeant, the Ming army is completely different from the Song army in this regard, the army is under the direct jurisdiction of the Privy Council, and the local government is not allowed to interfere in the relevant affairs of the army, let alone interfere in the affairs of the army at will, and the senior generals of the Ming army are almost all Wu Shaogang's henchmen, and their status in the court is also unusual.

What can even see the status of the military is that in the imperial court, Wu Shaogang has great respect for the officers of the Ming army, and many ministers will never dare to have a contemptuous view of the army.

In terms of the status of the soldiers, it should be noted that there is almost no difference between the military and the Mongolian army.

Of course, the most critical point is still in the aspect of political and ideological education, and now this dynasty, whether it is the Yuan army or the Song army, almost does not have this conceptual understanding, and Wu Shaogang is different, he is very clear about the important role of political thought for an army, it can be said that to a certain extent, political thought is the soul of an army.

The lecture hall is the soul of the Ming army, the large and small officers in the Ming army, as well as particularly outstanding sergeants, will enter the lecture hall to study, on the surface to learn cultural knowledge, in fact, a lot of ideological education and other matters, when teaching, it is engraved into the minds of officers and sergeants.

This is the unique advantage of the Ming army, and it is also something that no one has been able to notice, but it is Wu Shaogang's magic weapon.

From this comparison, the gap between the Ming army and the Mongolian army immediately appeared.

This is also the reason why the Ming army has been victorious in its conquests over the years, and the Mongolian army has always been at a disadvantage after encountering the Ming army, which is also why Kublai Khan and others have not been able to figure it out.

Can't figure it out doesn't mean that you don't pay attention to it, Kublai Khan for the Ming court and the Ming army, has been paying special attention, for a long time, he has been studying the Ming army's combat methods, trying to find flaws in it, as for the artillery of the Ming army, that is, the Dingkun cannon, the description of its related power, there is already a thick book, always placed on the imperial case, for Kublai Khan to read and think.

When Brother Mo entered the house, Kublai Khan, who was already looking old, raised his head, and he suddenly found that Brother Mo's head was also full of white hair, in fact, Brother Mo was older than him.

"Brother Mo, you don't have to salute, just sit down and talk."

Brother Mo sat down silently.

Kublai Khan looked at Brother Mo and let out a long sigh.

"I've been reminiscing these days, I think of the original battle of Ezhou, when I was still the prince of Mongolia, I originally wanted to take Ezhou and other places in one go, and go straight to Lin'an, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately, my own brother made all my plans go up in smoke."

"In order to deal with Abuligo's rebellion, I have spent too much effort, if the Mobei grassland cannot be stabilized, the imperial court will not be stable, and I have no way to focus on the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Abuligo has surrendered, I thought that the Mobei grassland was calm, who knew that a Haidu would emerge, and I also had a trace of pity, thinking that Haidu was the grandson of the Great Khan of Ogedei, and I was unwilling to kill Haidu, leaving behind trouble."

"What I didn't expect was that Wu Shaogang actually rose rapidly during this time, so that he became my main opponent, during the Battle of Ezhou, Wu Shaogang was unknown, and I only learned a few days ago that in the Battle of Ezhou, this Wu Shaogang was just an ordinary sergeant in the Song army, and he was still charging into battle and fighting with the army under my command."

"There are too many unexpected things, looking back, all I see is opportunities, if there was no Abuligo's rebellion, I led the army to take Ezhou, this Wu Shaogang, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago, but unfortunately, the lost opportunity won't come back, and I can't seize it."

"The army of the imperial court has fought a lot with the Ming army, I didn't expect that none of them could win, and what made me even more angry was that Hao Jing, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Wenqian, Xu Heng and Zhang Rou and others actually defected to Wu Shaogang, I don't understand, what kind of magic power this Wu Shaogang has."

"It's funny to say, my niece Akocha, actually married this Wu Shaogang, speaking of which Wu Shaogang is also the son-in-law of the grassland, if it is changed to other times, I and this Wu Shaogang will definitely be able to become irreversible friends, we Mongolian steppe people, all worship heroes, I recognize Wu Shaogang is a hero."

。。。

Brother Mo looked at Kublai Khan, his face showed a look of surprise, so many years have passed, Kublai Khan has never admitted who is a hero, even the brave and warlike Hedan, Habichi, Tacha'er and Wuliang Hetai and others, have not received such praise, Kublai Khan actually gave such a high praise to Wu Shaogang, who had never met.

Kublai Khan will not recognize the Ming court, let alone Wu Shaogang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but the last brother recognizes the identity of Emperor Wu Shaogang in his heart, and several meetings with Wu Shaogang have left an indelible impression on him, and now this impression is even more profound.

Brother Mo will not say these words, in his heart, it is impossible to compare the superiority between Kublai Khan and Wu Shaogang, who can finally rule the world, it is also impossible to say, but Brother Mo believes that it is impossible for Wu Shaogang to completely defeat the Mongols, even if he loses control of the Central Plains, the Mongols can return to the Mobei grassland, where the Mongols are in the world.
