Even this people, who had just broken away from barbarism, treated their warriors with such respect, far higher than that of the Han nation, and the Han culture looked down on the samurai more and more, so the force became weaker and weaker.

Yang Chao does not think that in the culture of the Han nation, there has never been the existence of courage such a good character, on the contrary, before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Han nation was known for its bravery, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were full of heroic colors, and the self-esteem of the warriors was extremely strong, and there were often cases of killing people in anger for the sake of reputation.

Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, obviously such a ranger spirit of courage does not meet the requirements of the ruling class, so generation after generation to suppress this culture, coupled with the exclusive respect for Confucianism, the imperial power and Confucianism allied, began to suppress all schools, with the spirit of chivalry Mojia was banned, upright legalists, strong soldiers were suppressed, the spirit of courage was slowly lost, and the culture of the whole country was ashamed of being a soldier.

Moreover, the state has also stuffed all kinds of scoundrels, criminals, and scum into the army, and used confiscation as a punishment, which has made the quality of the army generally inferior and even more despised.

The soldiers themselves have no sense of honor, and they look down on themselves, let alone let others look down on them.

Yang Chao has always wanted to change this situation, but unfortunately he found that his actions have been very futile, his soldiers are still normal in the army, but once out of the barracks, contact with outsiders, it is inevitable to have some inferiority complex, walking in the crowd, many soldiers habitually have to walk on the ground.

To change this state, it is necessary to change the entire cultural atmosphere, and to change the entire cultural atmosphere, Yang Chao has to confront Confucianism, which is in power, and the literati of the whole world, and the resistance is too great.

Yang Chao regretted this cultural deficiency in his heart, but he strengthened his belief in change, because if he didn't change, he would die. Even if you don't die now, you will still have to die in the future, and Westerners have traveled all over the world. It can be said that the era of globalization has arrived, but China's military culture has gradually returned to the period of slavery. Soldiers are like slaves, with no sense of honor and no self-esteem, how can such an armed force composed of soldiers struggle for the country and expand the territory for the nation in the tide?

When did this gradual decline of military culture begin, Yang Chao feels as if it was the Song Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty was the origin of Confucianism, but the culture of the Han Dynasty was not completely literati, but had a lot of Warring States atmosphere. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was born as a ranger, so it is no wonder that the atmosphere of this country is that the Han Dynasty can attack the Xiongnu in the north and open up the Western Regions.

From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the literati culture did not have an advantage, the Tang Dynasty Han people were still very strong, at that time there was a Han to the Wuhu saying, when the generals calculated the troops, they usually multiplied their own troops by five, and then compared with the Hu army on the grassland.

After the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms after the Tang Dynasty, the culture was almost broken. The fierce wind of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period slowly dissipated, and the sound of the Southern Tang Dynasty that rolled up from the south of the Yangtze River began to prosper, and finally the Song Dynasty unified the north and the south. In order to rule the needs, Zhao Kuangyin released the military power with a glass of wine, and began to emphasize literature over military force, and since then the Chinese martial arts have gradually dissipated.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, it was still able to pass through the Western Regions, but in the Song and Ming dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty could only shrink in the pass.

The Ming Dynasty, which was established by overthrowing the Meng Yuan, should be said to be much stronger than the Song Dynasty that stole power, and it was also much stronger than the Qing Dynasty in later generations. It is hard to imagine that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would cede the land and sue for peace, and it is difficult to imagine that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had just fought in the northeast in the Japanese Kou. In a panic, he ceded the place located in the south of the Yangtze River in a panic.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not even dare to speak out about peace. Because if he says it, there will be Wenchen who accuses him.

This is a dynasty that has always been strong in spirit, but it is a dynasty in which the force is getting weaker and weaker.

To change this atmosphere, through the rectification of military discipline, it is possible to create a strong army in the short term, such as Qi Jiguang's Qi family army.

But in the long run, it is necessary to re-promote the martial style, otherwise even if the Qi family army is short-lived, it will be difficult to maintain lasting force.

However, Yang Chao also knew that he couldn't do it now, because it was a matter of making enemies of the heavenly scholars, and he was not yet capable of facing the counterattack of the entire literati group.

Only when the power in his hands can confront the literati who are all over the world can he attack the tradition.

Yang Chao believes that as long as he doesn't die and can change the situation, sooner or later there will be such a day.

The captives confronted Yang Chao one hundred and fifty paces away until the evening.

Obviously, they were planning to pick up Chen Tianhei and quietly come to snatch the body.

"Good intentions!"

Yang Chao sneered, although he admired the martial spirit of the barbarian nation that came from the wild instinct, but Yang Chao still didn't intend to accept the matter of letting the other party drag away the corpse, who let the Ming Dynasty inherit the barbaric beheading style that had been handed down from the violent Qin era.

Everyone has been taken away by you, whose head will Lao Tzu cut off? There is no head, how can Lao Tzu make meritorious service, if he does not make meritorious service, how can Lao Tzu be promoted!

"My lord, my lord, the captives have appeared!"

It was already late, but Yang Chao's army was not all rested.

In fact, there were only two hundred archers and bird gunners who participated in the battle during the day, and the vast majority of soldiers did not participate in the battle, Yang Chao arranged two hundred people to be on duty at night, in fact, not only to prevent the other party from robbing the corpse, but also to prevent the other party from attacking at night.

Therefore, even in the middle of the night, after the captives appeared, they were still discovered.

Although the sky is very bad today, some cloudy, but the shaking of the figure, the good eyesight can still see, the sound of the sound, the ear can still be heard, so it can't hide people at all.

The only difficulty is that it is not clear that the other party is robbing the corpse, if you don't know how many people will be killed by shooting, not to mention the waste of ammunition, who knows that the other party is not dead and deliberately sent a few miscellaneous servants to cheat the lead bullet, Yang Chao still knows the story of the grass boat borrowing arrows.

However, if when Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from the grass boat, Cao Jun shot rockets, then it would be fun.

What Yang Chao shot was a rocket.

The rocket, stained with spirits, flew out more than forty paces and landed on the ground, illuminating an area.

Yang Chao had actually been carrying a large amount of liquor in the army, which was used to disinfect the wounded, which came in handy at this time.

The rocket illuminated several figures who were dragging corpses, and pointed the bird gun to the target, and the sound of the bird gun sounding immediately.

Then came a few shots, almost point-fired, and after hitting three or five captives, the others rode away.

Yang Chao couldn't sleep and inspected the barracks.

What worries Yang Chao is that his men can't sleep with excitement, most of them are recruits who go to the battlefield for the first time, even if they are a small number of veterans, they have only killed Jiang bandits, they have never fought with Dongyu, let alone experienced such a large-scale battle, and they also won a battle during the day, which is the most exciting time.

As a result, even veterans are so excited that they can't sleep, let alone new recruits.

If you can't sleep, where will the spirit come from tomorrow to continue fighting, Yang Chao can't help but worry.

But persuasion is useless, this is a soldier's only way from a recruit to a veteran, from a veteran to a soldier of a hundred battles, only practice to the rumbling cannon can also fall asleep, that is the real soldier of a hundred battles, and now can only grit his teeth to get through.

After patrolling around, it was useless to admonish, when Yang Chao was there, he closed his eyes one by one and pretended to be asleep, and as soon as Yang Chao left, he immediately began to chat and fart quietly, telling how many people he killed today, and bragging about how good he was.

Yang Chao also went to appease those people, at this time these people were panicked, let alone sleeping, especially when the gunshots rang out outside, not to mention the children, the women began to cry, and the men scolded the women, not wanting the women to make a sound, for fear of annoying the soldiers.

Huang Fengfu didn't sleep either, he was naturally nervous, Yang Chao talked to him, and then asked him to prepare food for the soldiers who were keeping watch at night, the horse meat had been eaten, but the rice was enough.

In the end, Yang Chao returned to his barracks and recorded all the day's combat experience.

As soon as he sat down, suddenly there was another gunshot, and it seemed that the captives had come to rob the corpse again.

A night of noisy and tumultuous passed.

The captives came to rob them four or five times, but they were all beaten back, and there were not many corpses left.

Yang Chao basically didn't sleep much, but the strange thing was that he was still in good spirits the next day, or a kind of excitement.

Most of the soldiers under his command are also like this, it seems that the adrenal hormones are excessively secreted, just like playing excited, you can go without sleep for several days and nights, but once this excitement passes, I am afraid that it will collapse directly, and it will take a long time to recover from it.

But that's for later, as long as you can go through the baptism of this battle, your army will become a strong soldier who has fought bloodily.

"My lord, it seems that we killed a lot of captives last night!"

After dawn, Huang Fengfu had already counted, and not only did the corpses of the captives not decrease, but there were ten more, which were obviously left behind when the captives robbed the corpses last night.

Yang Chao couldn't help but laugh, the captives couldn't rob the corpses, but threw ten corpses, isn't this stealing chickens and rice, and losing his wife and breaking the soldiers.

But immediately Yang Chao secretly admonished himself.

It is impossible for the captives to be so stupid, although they came out of the primeval mountain forest, but they have fought a lot more battles than themselves, it is impossible to do such a thing, so why do they keep robbing corpses overnight, except for giving their lives in vain, is there no other reason?

Thinking of this, Yang Chao secretly screamed: "Not good! ”

Huang Fengfu saw that Yang Chao's expression was wrong, and immediately asked, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Chao didn't answer him, but asked Zhao Kang to pass the order: "The bird gunners and archers are divided into two teams, half continue to rest, no matter how fierce the battle is, they are not allowed to participate in the battle, and half are engaged in the battle until they are replaced by orders!" ”

Huang Fengfu didn't understand: "What's wrong with my lord?" ”

Yang Chao said: "Today, the captives may attack!" ”

Huang Fengfu thought about it for a while, and immediately understood that he was a scholar in the end, and he was a smart person, he had been with Yang Chao for so long, and he had also learned a lot of quick wisdom from Yang Chao, and his brain teaser had reached at least the fourth-grade level.

Huang Fengfu couldn't help but say: "My lord! (To be continued)
