Huang Zhang's statement made Shui Yu quite curious.

"We came all the way, you also know what the people in Subei are like, the fights and brawls we saw here are not a hundred or eight but a dozen or so, so aggressive, do you think it's useless?" Shui Yu questioned.

In this regard, Huang Zhang gave his own opinion.

"When I passed by, I looked, these people, so brave and ruthless, many of them are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, when they meet someone stronger than themselves, high status, they try their best to dodge. For example, the two of us, just because we are gorgeously dressed and ride fine horses, no one dares to disrespect us along the way, and those people look at us with awe. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Zhang looked at Shui Yu again.

She already understood the meaning of Huang Zhang's words.

It is true that the people of the four counties in northern Subei like to fight, but their kind of fighting is not a demand for justice, but a show of force.

If this kind of person becomes a soldier, it is better to encounter a weaker force than himself, but if he encounters a stronger army than himself and others, I am afraid that he will collapse immediately.

Before, Shui Yu only saw the surface and felt that if there was such a force, it should be able to sweep in all directions.

Now that she heard Huang Zhang's words, she suddenly lost confidence.

"Do you know where soldiers are trained to be very powerful?" Huang Zhang asked rhetorically.

In this regard, Shui Yu shook his head.

Don't look at her ability to train soldiers, but her ability to look at people and soldiers may not be able to catch up with Huang Zhang.

"Those who come from poor places, especially the worse the environment, the more fierce the soldiers there are, and that kind of people are really fierce! They are highly disciplined, have great stamina, and have a lot more willpower than the average soldier! And most crucially, they are easy to satisfy. In a bitterly cold place, there is a chance to get ahead, and they naturally do their best. ”

When Huang Zhang said this, Shui Yu felt that he was very reasonable.

"Then apart from the bitter cold land, is there any other place where people can produce elite warriors?" Shui Yu asked.

As soon as the topic of soldiers was discussed, she immediately became interested.

There is no way, strictly speaking, this should be her field, today in Huang Zhang, she heard a remark that she had never thought of before, and she was naturally eager to study.

"Other than that, it's a child of a poor family."

"Son of a poor family? Be a soldier? ”

Suddenly, Shui Yu immediately recalled, wasn't the Beijing Army's heavy armor and iron cavalry all filled by people from the Hanmen?

She had forgotten about such an important matter.

"That's right, the children of the poor family are not as good as those landlords and nobles, and second, the passage for them to rise is almost closed. If there are no accidents, you will almost have to stay at the bottom for the rest of your life. Only by joining the army can they have enough room for promotion, not only to join the army, but also to fight, they are the group of people who are most eager to fight. Because as long as there is a war, they have merit and can be promoted. ”

Huang Zhang didn't finish speaking, and then said: "Not only that, but the troops composed of this group of poor disciples are much higher than ordinary soldiers in terms of discipline, and their combat quality is also much higher, and they have things that ordinary soldiers don't have!" ”

"What is it?" Shui Yu said curiously.

"They know what they're doing, who they're fighting for, and what they're fighting for!"

Seeing that Shui Yu was stunned when he heard this, Huang Zhang immediately explained: "Don't think it's nothing, but this point is the most important. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"The soldiers of the Hanmen know what they want to do, their actions have a purpose, and their will to fight will far surpass that of others. Moreover, they will have a sense of family and country, and sometimes they will definitely take the initiative to sacrifice their lives for the country. In contrast, ordinary soldiers are just for that little salary, and once they see the troops retreating, their morale is gone. ”

When Huang Zhang said this, Shui Yu immediately nodded, and she agreed with this. It is precisely because sometimes soldiers have no faith that many times once the army has a little rout, it will completely collapse like a landslide, and no matter how much you save it, you can't save it, that is, the so-called people's hearts are scattered, and it is difficult to bring it.

"If you don't understand, I'll give you a list of numbers and you'll probably know. If you lead an ordinary army of 10,000 people, and the person fighting with you on the other side also brings 10,000 troops, but his 10,000 troops are composed of the children of the poor family, and your 10,000 people and the opponent's 10,000 people fight head-on on the battlefield, as long as the troops on your side suffer more than 1,000 casualties, the mentality of the surrounding soldiers will begin to waver, until it completely collapses! ”

"On the contrary, the opposing troops will probably not waver until they reach two thousand, and even more, if the will of the troops is strong enough, the number can be raised to three thousand."

Hearing Huang Zhang say this, Shui Yu nodded.

Huang Zhang's words, she still understood, the same as what her master told her at the beginning!

"What about the bandits?" Shui Yu asked suddenly.

Huang Zhang said two categories just now, one is the soldiers from the bitter cold land, and the other is the soldiers composed of the children of the Han family, Shui Yu suddenly thought of the bandits.

When she first came out, she was a bandit, and she also trained a group of bandits, and those bandits were also a force that Shui Yu was very satisfied with.

Later, she became the Beijing Army, and then with her into the heavy armored iron cavalry, she can be regarded as an elite.

Now that she has learned from the past, she wants to see what Huang Zhang will say about the bandit as a soldier.

It's a pity that what Shui Yu doesn't know is that Huang Zhang has also been a bandit, and he has done even better than Shui Yu.

The ability of the bandits he trained is also stronger than Hu Yier's.

Therefore, in the evaluation of bandits, Huang Zhang still has his own unique ideas.

"Bandits actually belong to the category of high-quality troops." Huang Zhang said.

"But they have a lot of problems! For example, the biggest one is the problem of discipline. If the problem of discipline is not solved, then the bandit will not be able to become an army! There is no way to become a bandit in the army, but only to be the target of being exterminated by the army! ”

Huang Zhang's words can be regarded as talking about Shui Yu's heart, she knows where the most difficult place for the thieves is, not to see how difficult these thieves are, but because the thieves are not well disciplined and are always easy to violate military law.

Shui Yu can be regarded as deeply aware of this. When she trained those bandits, she didn't bother to do so.

With Huang Zhang's evaluation of the bandits, Shui Yu's favorability towards Huang Zhang has skyrocketed!

It can be seen that His Royal Highness the backer king has some real skills.

Thinking of this, Shui Yu put away his previous contempt.

In the past, Shui Yu listened to Huang Zhang's words, and that was because of Huang Zhang's identity, he used to be the eldest prince, and later became the king of the backer. If she didn't listen to the king's orders, how arrogant would she be to do this.

From today onwards, she will try to slowly believe in Huang Zhang!
