Chapter 1243: It's time for the Kyushu soldiers to appear
Sun Chuanting and several of them all saw the benefits of this kind of training with slogans.
First of all, shouting slogans like this for three meals a day will make those soldiers invisibly remember who they are serving for, and subtly will continue to increase their loyalty.
If the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were also trained in this way, maybe ...... At this moment, Sun Chuanting flashed such a possibility in his mind.
Soon, however, he dismissed the idea that had just arisen.
The Ming court will not be like the Song people, who have enough food for the soldiers to eat three meals a day.
According to Sun Chuanting's own knowledge, even in some armies of the Beijing Division, it is already very good for soldiers to be able to eat a few nests a day.
You can't ask the soldiers to thank the court with slogans when you give the head of the nest.
Even if the soldiers shouted in obscenity, they didn't know how to curse in their hearts, so it would definitely be counterproductive.
It's still that the Song people are rich, and the Ming court can't do it.
If you can't treat the soldiers like the Song people, then you don't want the soldiers to be grateful to Dade.
Moreover, in the two months in Jincheng, Sun Chuanting had contact with many Song soldiers. He found that in the army of the Song people, there was no such thing as corruption.
This made Sun Chuanting sincerely convinced.
Corruption is rampant in today's Ming army, and there are few officials who do not drink the blood of soldiers.
The imperial court used to pay a military salary of one or two and a half cents a month, but it would be good to have five cents in the hands of the soldiers. It's not always available every month. So the dissatisfaction of the soldiers can be imagined.
Of course, there are some factors on the part of the imperial court, because the imperial court has no silver.
But. Even if the imperial court paid military salaries, they would be embezzled by those officers. In retrospect, these officers would tell the soldiers that the imperial court had not issued any money at all.
After all, in addition to their own enjoyment, these officers also need to use large sums of money to support their families.
The main military strength of the Ming Dynasty during this period was not the soldiers of the guards, but the family members of those officers.
These are the confidants of the officers' men and the families of the soldiers. Both the salary and the salary are much higher than those of ordinary soldiers. It is precisely because of such a reason that their combat effectiveness is also very impressive.
To know the way, there must be brave men under the heavy reward. These family members are raised by the officers to eat and drink, and they have to be able to do it.
Of course, these families did not disappoint.
When Nurhachi was young, Li Chengliang, the governor of the Ming Dynasty who shocked Liaodong. Relying on two thousand families, the people are pressed to death, and they dare not make trouble.
Visible. The power of the family is great.
The reason why Nurhachi was able to rise between Montenegro and Baishui was largely due to the fact that he relied on the foundation of these families left by Li Chengliang, which allowed him to dominate all the Manchu tribes in just a few years.
The so-called seventeen pairs of armored cavalry mentioned in the history books are simply nonsense, and those Manchu recorders are just putting gold on their faces.
But anyone with brains can imagine that seventeen people fight against hundreds of people, and everyone's combat effectiveness and will to fight are the same, so the side with fewer people will definitely not work.
Know the way. At that time, Nurhachi was surrounded by a few people who followed him.
If there is nothing else to rely on. He won't survive at all.
Oh, by the way, Nurhachi is Li Chengliang's godson, and Nurhachi's mother and Li Chengliang still have a leg.
Of course, this is not a canonical history, but a so-called wild historical record.
But the problem is that after the founding of the Manchu Dynasty, all kinds of literary prisons, coupled with the wanton falsification of some history, on the contrary, wild history may be more reliable.
And the official records of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are about to become very unreliable.
After all, at that time, the Central Plains was ruled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how do you want to record that those historians still had to obey their masters?
It's obvious.
Jiading, in the late Ming Dynasty, can be said to be a beautiful landscape.
However, the success of the family is also the defeat of the family.
After all, the Jiading are considered to be the armed strength of the dead, although their combat effectiveness is very strong, but their allegiance is not to the Ming court, but to the private generals who support them.
In this way, if the generals are selfish, of course, these family members will not go all out in battle. Even they didn't want to fight at all.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously unrealistic to rely only on those daimyo soldiers who have been deducted from their salaries and go to war hungry.
If they can't even eat, how can those soldiers fight?
Even some of the Ming armies are incomplete in weapons.
The reason for this is very simple, the weapons are privately sold by the generals for silver.
So, once such an army goes to the battlefield, at most it will issue a few wooden guns, but how can they fight against the strong Eight Banners.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Da Ming is now being pressed and beaten by Houjin.
Sun Chuanting understands this situation, the former governor of Liaodong, Yang Fengyi, and even Wu Sangui, who has a low status, understands.
But in the officialdom of Daming's current environment, what can they change?
They can't change anything.
If they want to change this climate, they will inevitably touch the interests of a large group.
When the time comes, it will definitely cause death.
Yang Fengyi's current fate is a clear portrayal.
When Yang Fengyi was the governor of Liaodong, he also saw the drawbacks. At that time, he did not touch the interests of those people, but found another way to set up a mountain on his own and trained an elite of Liaodong.
But even so, those people refused to let him go.
You didn't touch our interests, but if you succeeded. Aren't you telling the court that we are all straw bales?
Therefore, those talents teamed up to betray Yang Fengyi in Yehuling, causing the Liaodong elite he had worked so hard to train to be wiped out. It can be said that the whole army has been wiped out.
In short, if you are different from everyone else, you can't do it, unless you are in the same boat as us.
You want to be clean and make achievements, but if you succeed, where do you put other people?
It is precisely because of this reason that what the Song people can do, Sun Chuanting and they can't do.
Besides. Where do they get the big spending?
You must know that they are not as rich as the Song people. As soon as he made a move, he lent the court more than 15 million taels of silver, without even blinking.
This Song people are still arrogant.
Wu Sangui sighed deeply on the side.
Not really.
The soldiers in the army of the Ming Dynasty only had two meals a day, and they were all wrapped in a nest with a lot of wild vegetables, but you look at what these Song soldiers ate.
Three meals a day are all white rice, not to mention. There was also fish and meat.
Even the Japanese soldiers from Kyushu. Although the food is not as good as that of the Song soldiers, it is also a meal of white rice and a meat dish.
And the Song people... Oh no! Even compared to those Japanese soldiers, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are like a flower child.
Therefore, for Wu Sangui's sighing and chattering, Yang Fengyi and Sun Chuanting deeply sympathize.
If they are also so rich, why can't they train an elite Ming army.
"Your Highness, it's been such a sunny day. You're still here to inspect it. ”
The Japanese people who were queuing saw Zhao Hongyu and these people, and the Imperial Colonel who was in charge of managing these people. He trotted all the way over.
"Well, I'm just here to see. After all, they've been training for half a month, so I'm going to see how they're doing. “
Zhao Hongyu slowed down the speed of the war horse under his crotch, sat on the war horse and gestured to the colonel's jaw and then responded.
"It's lunchtime now, and the soldiers are waiting to get their lunch. Why don't I ask them to assemble and show them a little bit of a drill? “
The Colonel asked.
Zhao Hongyu waved his hand: "No need, I see that their spirits are very good now, and the slogan they shouted just now is also good." I think these Kyushu soldiers can still be used once they come to the battlefield. “
At this time, Jay Chou, who was following behind Zhao Hongyu, immediately came up and said to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, please rest assured, the ideological education of these Kyushu soldiers has not relaxed our will, and I dare to guarantee that if there is a big war, there will be no problem in letting them go into battle." “
After listening to Jay Chou's words, Zhao Hongyu sat on the back of the war horse and looked around, then smiled.
"I'm very relieved that you guys are doing things." , Zhao Hongyu is of course quite relieved about these genetic people under his command, and he didn't say anything nonsense at all. "I just want to know now, if these Kyushu soldiers let them do something now, will it work?"
"What do you mean, Your Highness?" , Jay Chou leaned over and asked.
The colonel, who was standing there, fell silent when he saw his general speak.
"Recently, there have been more and more Houjin spies near Jincheng, so I want to dispatch these Kyushu soldiers and let them kill those pesky flies!"
It turned out that when Zhao Hongyu was concentrating on the construction of Jincheng, there were more and more Houjin detectives nearby.
In the beginning, there were only one or two scouts from Houjin. And these scouts are only on the periphery, and they don't dare to get too close to Jincheng.
But as time went by, these Houjin scouts became more and more bold, and slowly approached the Jincheng under construction, not to mention, but also plundered and killed those Ming refugees scattered around.
In the past half a month alone, Zhao Hongyu has received a lot of reports on this aspect.
Within a radius of 100 miles of Jincheng, there are still many scattered small villages.
These people of the Ming Dynasty, they did not come to the relatively safe Jincheng, after all, Zhao Hongyu and they can be regarded as outsiders to the Ming people.
Jay Chou understood Zhao Hongyu's plan, and after looking at the colonel, he turned his head and said to Zhao Hongyu with a serious face: "I don't know when His Highness Lu Dao will dispatch these Kyushu soldiers?" ”
Zhao Hongyu turned his head to look in the direction of Shengjing, the capital of the Houjin Kingdom, and said faintly: "The sooner the better, these flies are getting more and more annoying!" ”
The colonel, who stood there quietly, had a glint of excitement in his eyes at this time, and at the same time a hint of excitement...... The soldiers of the Empire are not afraid of battle at all, especially against Houjin...... (To be continued......)
