Chapter Seventy-Four: The Soul of the Han

Yu Dayou and Li Du fortified the southeast coast of Daming to form the second line of defense of coastal defense, so as to stop the fish that slipped through the net in the first line of defense and protect the safety of the coastal people. At the same time, intertwining with the first line of defense, delivering supplies, and so on.

The first line of defense is to attack and defend, and it is the think tank of Shen Yew and the Shen family, of course, they are not soldiers, so the main military work is still handed over to the sailors of the Ming Dynasty to command, and the Shen family is only responsible for supervising the army and the application and maintenance of those weapons with relatively difficult technical difficulties.

Second, in terms of military intensity, this time in all aspects, the Daming Naval Division has the strongest equipment, and wants to destroy the opponent at sea with one attempt. But there are also shortcomings, that is, the command of the sailor is the weakest, and Lu Bing thinks that no matter how tricky the opponent is, he can't match his own invincible armada. With the mutual cooperation of the powerful fleet, the tall ships, and the fast attack main ships, in the face of the newly introduced firearms and the large-scale killing weapons jointly developed by the Shen family and themselves, no matter how the opponent struggles, they will be destroyed and sunk.

It was precisely because of the strong strength of the naval division, and the opponents were mostly Japanese thieves with rich combat experience but poor equipment, so Lu Bing did not send his few military commanders to go. Thousands of troops are easy to get and a general is hard to find, not to mention good generals with extremely high military ability and military literacy, even ordinary generals who can lead troops to fight, Lu Bing is also relatively scarce. If it is barely enough to fight a local battle, but if it is a large-scale war with a huge span of north, south, east and west, and the enemy is attacked on all sides, Lu Bing will have a bit of a headache.

The generals of the imperial court, Lu Bingduo can't look down on them, except for eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, they can really fight. You can count them on your fingers.

Qi Jingtong is the most experienced in dealing with naval battles, but Lu Bing has another important use for Qi Jingtong, so he gave up. It seems that the Ming Dynasty is full of talents. But in fact, the civil army is strong and weak, and there are not many generals who can be used. Most of the military attaches that could be dispatched were known to Lu Bing, which made Lu Bing overstretched, and the entire battle list was listed. It's simply a Lu family army, which makes Lu Bing cry and laugh, I don't know if it's my luck to know so many heroes at that time, or the sadness that no one is available in the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiang, the bandit leader who was recovered in Jiangnan back then, has now been dredged and is about to be transferred back to the capital, and his brothers have not forgotten that they can be the standing army of Shuntianfu, which is something that Li Xiang spent a lot of money and a lot of effort to do. Being a Beijing official and a Beijing soldier is not only full of oil and water. The face is also bigger. It's not a joke that Jingguan has risen by three levels.

But just when Li Xiang was dreaming of his wife and children hot kang head. Lu Bing issued a document ordering Li Xiang to lead his troops out of the customs to quell the rebellion of the Ordos Ministry. Li Xiang obeyed the order without saying a word. Prepare immediately, and five days later, the troops will march to the Ordos Department. It's not just because of the Emperor's previous orders from the Dragon Shadow General. Li Xiang even knew that it was right to follow Lu Bingming, he couldn't go back to Beijing this time, as long as he survived and made meritorious contributions, his glory and wealth were indispensable. Besides, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, why is Lu Bing good for a miscellaneous army like himself? Why do you give yourself money, not to work hard at a critical time? Righteousness and unrighteousness were put aside and said, and when I understood the way of the employment relationship, I was much more angry when I started to do things.

The reason why Lu Bing values Li Xiang's vote is because they were originally bandits. Fierce temperament, brutal temper, ordinary soldiers trained by ordinary croppers, obey orders and walk around to scare and scare people, if it is really a fight, you can't increase your ability to see blood a few times, and your legs are weak when you see blood.

And this group of bandits is different, the ferocity and brutality of their temperament can just compete with the nomadic Ordos Department, in the past, unless the Central Plains troops were superior in numbers or in person, they were mostly defeated in battles with the nomads. And one thing drops one thing and one thing brine points tofu, Lu Bing wants to use their bandit spirit to restrain the cavalry of Ordos, and see who is braver and who is the warrior on the battlefield.

The garrisons of the guards in various places are naturally immovable, and the Taizu Gao Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang has studied the system of guarding the guards, which is responsible for pacifying and maintaining the local situation, and can also be rescued by the king at any time. Movement is change, change is chaos, the people of the Ming Dynasty and the government are contradictory opposites, these years of backlog for a long time, except for Shandong these years because of Lu Bing's wealth, the relationship between the people and the government is on the verge of collapse.

The political reform after this war was indispensable, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would not be long after leaving the country. This point, Lu Bing is very clear in his heart, and the ministers are also very clear in their hearts, I am afraid that the emperor alone is not clear, but he can't say it clearly, otherwise there will be arrogance and usurpation of the Mu Dynasty, and a person who is not subordinate can kill people, who dares to say this? Besides, there are too many interests involved in the change, and some people who have offended may not even know how to die.

Therefore, the garrison of the guard station could not be moved, whether it was a deterrent force to prevent the collapse of the place. When the time comes, there will be chaos everywhere and a mess inside, so how can there be a war with the outside world. In fact, the reason why power is used to suppress the people and violence is countered by violence is because the Ming Dynasty is unable to convince people with virtue. Fundamentally speaking, there is a problem with the official system of the Ming Dynasty, which has caused the current situation of disobedience to the people, which is what worries Lu Bing the most.

Lu Bing is powerless to change this, and now it's too late to change, and he doesn't have the energy to do this, and the broken ship of Daming can't stand the toss. Although he is from the future, he is just a mortal after crossing over, and he does not have such great energy to change the way of the world, if he really wants to break all the shackles and achieve a real counterattack, he can only rebel, but this is what Lu Bing never thought about. This also confirms the question of why the minister did not dare to say it.

In fact, in addition to institutional problems, there are also problems in the nature of the Han nation. The Han nation is not a cowardly nation, tenacious and stubborn, like a reed, it seems to be very weak, but if you want to tear it off, you have to waste a lot of strength.

What supports the spirit of the Han people is two words, integrity! Because of this integrity, when the Five Hu were chaotic, because of the confusion that the world had no soldiers to use, the Han people in the north were about to be wiped out, and the four million remaining Han people. The impassioned "Killing Hu Order", the cry of grief and indignation, and the last roar of the Han people. The Yellow Emperor created China, and the endangered Han people were once again saved by the great hero Ran Min.

At that time, the Han people, who were not as good as the Hu people, tore the stinky skin wrapped in their bodies like wild beasts, and turned into bloody beasts, killing hundreds of thousands of Hu people. The Han people, who were originally called two-legged sheep, could be raped, humiliated, and even eaten at will, and became food, but now they are counterattacking by the Jedi and becoming the most terrifying nightmare of the Hu people.

Later, the world of the Han people returned to peace, and their bodies became more and more weak, and the loss of the sixteen states of Yanyun made the Han people have no horses to ride, which became the weakness of the Han people. Throughout history, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the whole country raised horses to fight with the Xiongnu, and then Ran Min reached the height of a war. But in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was no large-scale army. The uneven civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty caused the civil and military strength to be weak, and also led to the guidance of the layman in the war.

However, it is such a nation, but the invincible Mongolian iron cavalry has been hindered again and again. Dajin's chain array, the Golden Horse Formation, and various cavalry formations were leveled by the Mongols, and the heavy armored cavalry Iron Harriers of Western Xia were also wiped out by the Mongols.

I thought that the Han people were easy to bully and were easy to capture, but they were wrong, in the attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, enough for their two generations of khans to die one after another, and the Mongols finally conquered the Han people, but the Han people also made them pay the price of blood.

Seeing that the people seemed to be conquered, the Mongols hated the Han Chinese, treating them as the lowest animals, even inferior to livestock. The blood of the Han people who were suppressed boiled again, the ass of the Mongols was not yet hot, and the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed by the Ming before a hundred years.

Since ancient times, the Han people have been the most obedient people, but they are also the most bloody and unyielding people. Once a situation occurs, the humiliation has reached a critical point, and it is a common thing to gather a crowd to make trouble and occupy the mountain as the king, and a spark can start a prairie fire, and once there is a rebellion that is not quickly contained, it will spread throughout the country.

Lu Bing does not want to suppress the people of his own nationality during this special period after he grasps the military and political power, because this kind of blood is good, at least it proves that there are real men in this country. Lu Bing knew that less than a hundred years later, the Qing Dynasty would enter the customs, and he would not live for so long, although he hoped to have the ability to change history, but he might not be able to change all this. Lu Bing knew that he was just a quicksand in the long river of history, but that was the time when the Han people really perished, which made Lu Bing feel desolate and sad.

Through assimilation, enslavement, shaving, and boiling frogs in warm water, the Manchus slowly exhausted the blood of the Han people, and the real warriors were killed, and the rest died in forbearance. To put it nicely, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was eventually assimilated by the Han people, but to put it mildly, there is "no China after Yashan, and no China after the death of the Ming Dynasty". As for when the Han people will be able to rekindle their fighting spirit, Lu Bing doesn't know, at least in the society before he crossed over, the Huaxia dragon is still sleeping.

All in all, in short, the tenacious Han people are also smart Han people, outsiders in foreign wars, insiders in civil wars, it is common for them to engage in internal fighting, and they are more ruthless than anyone else. Therefore, it is wise that Lu Bing did not mobilize the troops of various guards to the frontier or coastal guards on a large scale, and in the following time, the successive uprisings and battles were quickly suppressed by the local defenders, which also proved that Lu Bing's guess was accurate.
