"Faith, among the soldiers, must establish a common faith according to the instructions of the gentleman." This is what Du Ziteng said to Xing Dahe on the way to Wuzhou, and it is also what he repeated in his heart again and again. Because he led the propaganda team, among the 5,000 Ming army captives of the Miyun avant-garde, during the propaganda period, through Ding Yi's compilation of those model plays, grievance meetings, etc., Du Ziteng saw the changes of the 5,000 captives with his own eyes, especially the record of sending teams to fight against the small tribes around the Miyun avant-garde several times. The more he strengthened his worship of Ding Yi, the more he realized how terrible an army with faith was.

Those prisoners of the Ming army were defeated by five times the strength of the steppe tribes from the beginning; Later, four times the number of troops could be fought evenly between the upper and lower sides; And with the growth of horsemanship, the Ming army with faith, using cold weapons, can actually repel and defeat those steppe cavalry under the bloody battle of two to three times the strength! This has to be said to be a miracle.

People who have never been on the battlefield, for those who do not know the military strength in this era, it sounds very boring: two or three times the strength of the army, can repel the opponent, what is there to boast about? To put it mildly, isn't this a fucking cowardly and frustrating thing? Repulsion, not defeat or annihilation!

In fact, aside from the Hongwu and Yongle periods of Ming Taizu and Chengzu, it is not an easy thing to be able to repel the grassland cavalry with two to three times the strength. The Battle of the Jingshi is almost like this, but the Battle of the Jingshi is an ambush with a large number of firearms, and the center of the imperial court is behind him, so he has to fight against the water, otherwise it will be the end of the extinction of the dead race.

If firearms are not used. If you can repel and defeat the Tartars with two or three times the force, you don't need to go to Wanli year, and the northern grasslands should be the territory actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty. It's time to consider the issue of rebasing the land to the stream. Before the Tumu Fort, the 50,000 elite cavalry sent out after the break were completely annihilated by Yexian's 20,000 iron cavalry, and they did not cause any trauma to Yexian, so that Yexian was still able to swallow the 200,000 Ming troops of Tumu Fort.

Therefore, two to three times the strength of the army can repel the Tartars on the steppe, which is absolutely in actual combat, and it is already a great thing.

And with the proficiency of those Ming army horsemen. This advantage will be further increased, and this is just to train the queue drills, and then let them participate in grievance meetings, heart-to-heart meetings, watch model plays, and so on. Du Ziteng clearly saw that when the soldiers had faith, many impossible things became facts.

Fight to the death. Fight to the point of one soldier. Such enthusiastic words, in thousands of years of human history, are often just a, and everything that can be done is basically recorded in history. But when the soldiers know what they are fighting for, what they can get after fighting to the death, what they can change, and what they can leave for their families. Du Ziteng saw with his own eyes those Ming army prisoners. In the case of nearly fifty percent of the battle losses, the hundred households who led the team were able to organize a charge and kill the opposing grassland cavalry until they collapsed with fear.

In the following journey, in the face of the temptation of high-ranking officials Houlu, beauty Zhuyu, etc., he was desperate for Ding Yi, and never hesitated to reject the other party's belief immediately, not in vain. It was from this time and again that the decay was transformed into magic, and from the victory after victory, it was slowly accumulated, and gradually became indelible throughout his life.

In the Yang Mansion on the outskirts of Beijing, Shi Heng was roaring in the orchard: "I went to ask for grain, grass and soldiers, what did I say, Ding Rujin only needs 10,000 horses, and he dares to go to quell the rebellion in Guangxi!" Ding Ruyu only has one guard, and he can clear his face! As the Son of Heaven, he said such things! If it weren't for the emperor at that time, he said that the Tartars outside Xuanda were powerful, but it was really not easy to compare Miyun avant-garde with Guangxi Dusi, and he would be begging for bones at that time! "It's about resigning on the spot.

"Can you kill Ding Rujin?" Yang Shan looked at the tea in the cup, and asked the angry Shi Heng without raising his head, "You don't have to say anything, Master Hou just needs to answer the old man, yes or no." His tone was calm and calm, as if he were telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

The wind in January was extremely cold, but Shi Heng was so angry that he even ripped off his fur, and let the wind pour in, it couldn't blow his swollen red face. It's just that Yang Shan's words made him subconsciously pull the placket of his clothes, because when he calmed down, he felt the chill of the wind.

"I can't be so naïve! An Neng didn't know that this was deliberately provoking a fight between a certain and Rujin? How could you fall for such a superficial discord! Shi Heng thought about it but roared like this, but he was too angry, and complained angrily, "Phew, the state affairs are difficult, and I don't forget that the courtiers hate each other, and they don't look like people......"

He wanted to scold "not like a human king", which is what Mencius said when he scolded the monarch. But a "gentleman" didn't have a mouth yet, and was intercepted by Yang Shan: "Marquis Wuqing, don't talk about him left and right, can or can't?" He didn't pay attention to Shi Heng's words at all, and when Shi Heng spoke again, before he could speak, Yang Shan asked this question for the third time: "Yes, or can't?" “

"I can't." Shi Heng finally had to answer the question head-on, "How is it possible?" He has meritorious service to the country, even today, it is not easy to do harm, and he is not a fool, how can he do such a thing? What's more, the name of the Rakshasa is also the head of the Tartar and the reputation paved with blood, where is it so easy to kill? is to do it, regardless of the disagreement between the government and the opposition, regardless of Ding Ruyu's revenge, as long as Ding Rongcheng escapes, he will not be stable in a certain life, you must know that Lu Dao, that is a character who can protect Taishang among the 100,000 Tartar iron horses! ”

The so-called 100,000 Tartar Iron Horsemen who protected Yingzong's killing, except for Ding Yi, there is probably no one in this world who knows the ins and outs better than Yang Shan, but he didn't plan to explain the truth to Shi Heng, just nodded, picked up the cup, and drank the cold tea in one gulp: "If this is the case, for the sake of the Marquis of Wuqing, it is best to send some soldiers, equipment, grain and grass to Ding Rongcheng." What the emperor said to Marquis Wu Qing today was as the old man expected, but I am afraid that it will not reach Ding Rongcheng's ears until this time next month. ”

Shi Heng stopped completely all of a sudden, and the action he made subconsciously was still tightening his fur fur again.

It's cold. Once the blood qi subsides, the chill is real. He said that he would not be divided, in fact, he knew very well that if it weren't for Emperor Jing seeing that he was about to break out, he quickly added a sentence of "Xuan Da Enemy Blazing" Yunyun, he was really angry at that time, if he couldn't control it, it was very likely that he would really say "begging to return the bones...... Teach the brothers and sisters of the Ding family to fight for the country! Words like that.

Even after leaving the palace, he couldn't stop cursing Ding Yi in his heart, and at the same time cursed Ding Ruyu, and slapped his own soldiers, scolding him: "Into your mother, I asked you to give an order, but I don't know how to tone up!" "The pro-soldier didn't know what was going on in the Fengtian Palace, and he was fanned inexplicably, in fact, Shi Heng remembered that at that time, he taught a team of soldiers and horses to go outside the gate to save Ding Ruyu, and he made this pro-soldier go to give orders.

The soldiers couldn't figure it out for a while, but Ding Yi didn't necessarily can't figure it out.

This incident reached Ding Yi's ears, and God knows what someone would think? If it is said that the power in the army is still in the hands of the army, Shi Heng is naturally completely fearless of Ding Yi, but Ding Yi's reputation in Shilin and the people, as he said, the emperor is not easy to do, and the murderous reputation of Ding Someone's Ah Pong Rakshasa also makes Shi Heng quite taboo. What's more, Ding still has a document that he has signed in his hand, which is no different from rebellion!

And Ding Yi's temperament Shi Heng also understands, Ding someone defended the battle in Beijing, and traveled in the starry night to rescue prisoners of war, which Shi Heng saw with his own eyes, which he couldn't help but scruple - if Ding Yi thought that Shi Heng was going to be unfavorable to him, according to Ding Rongcheng's temperament, he was afraid that he would be silent, and he would not send someone to ask, and the long knife in the night would be drawn out, so he would see blood first.

"Si Gong is right, this is going to teach people to arrange some soldiers and weapons to send to Guangdong, Ding Rongcheng is over there, it's really not easy......" Shi Heng's mind is definitely not as rough as he seems on the surface, he even draws inferences, "Those dolls in the Jingshi Branch of the Thunder Academy will have to add a pair of shoes after the New Year; It's also difficult for Ding Ruyu on the Miyun side, let's see how to teach someone to send some cloth......"

When Shi Heng resigned, Yang Shan looked at the cup of tea in front of Shi Heng's seat that had not moved from beginning to end, and shook his head with a wry smile.

He can only hope that Ding Yi can really do it.

It is obvious that Shi Heng has subconsciously been less intimate with Yang Shan than before.

It's just that he has already bet on Ding Yi's side, so naturally it is impossible for both sides not to be offended. Yang Shan, who is treacherous and slippery, has seen countless things and countless people, and knows very well that on both sides of the treasure, there is often no return for blood, unless it is a noble family like Dagongfang, he is qualified to do this.

Dagongfang Xu Mansion, there is only one in Daming.

Yang Shan chose Ding Yi, not only because he had worked with Ding Yi, he had gone through several dynasties and worked with too many people.

The reason why he chose Ding Yi instead of Shi Heng was because Yang Shan was very clear about the problem that Ding Yi said, if the restoration was successful, Shi Heng was afraid that he would definitely kill Yu Qian, and with Yu Qian's temperament, persuading him to flee and something like that would definitely not work, and then it would be the death of those who were obedient and those who were rebellious, and others had no ability to resist Shi Heng at all, so the center of the Ming Dynasty would inevitably fall into an extremely chaotic period.

So he chose Ding Yi, at least Ding Yi was born in Shilin, at least Ding Yi has a good relationship with Chen Xun and Yu Qian, at least Ding Yi's talent in governing things is far better than Shi Heng. It's just that Ding Yi told Yang Shan that after three or five years, he will have the ability to confront Shi Heng, and Yang Shan still has a question. You must know that before Lu Dao Shiheng was in Tumubao, he was a general in the army, and he had connections there, Ding Rongcheng, when he was ordered by the fall of Guangxi, there were only 500 guards around him...... What can you achieve in three or five years? (To be continued......)
