Chapter Ninety-Three: A Strong Army

The two walked and talked about coming to the river, Huang Xiao sat on the grass, and Zhu Youxiao sat down.

"Brother Zhu, with the production of our glass and steel, as well as the subsequent birth of steam engines and textile machines, the security work of the base must be strengthened, the escort team must be expanded, it must be trained, and Brother Zhu must coordinate with the imperial court to allow the existence of the escort team in Dahuangzhuang."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Brother Xian can just do it directly, and the court doesn't need to worry!" ”

Huang Xiao said with a smile: "In this way, I am sure to train an invincible strong army in the world!" ”

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "The world is invincible? ”

Huang Xiao nodded and asked rhetorically, "What does Brother Zhu think of Jiannu's combat power?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said indignantly: "It is said that the combat power is extremely strong, the Jurchen is not satisfied with ten thousand, and ten thousand are invincible!" It's really hateful, I'm dignified, with millions of soldiers, and I'm always defeated against Shangjianu! A large amount of land and cities have been invaded by Jiannu! ”

Huang Xiao chuckled, "Yes, often we have more than ten times our troops, but we are beaten by the other party and fled!" Shame on you! Could it really be that our Ming people are inferior to Jiannu in terms of soldiers? is also the people of China, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty almost unified the grassland, just say that I am Emperor Yongle, five personal expeditions, swept the Mengyuan, these all show the reason why I am not human! ”

Huang Xiao said again: "Since it is not a human reason, and my firearms technology is superior to that of Jiannu, why did I lose everything?" There must be something wrong with this! After traveling all over the world and seeing a lot of health centers, I realized why we always lose battles when we are outnumbered and have advanced weapons! ”

Zhu Youxiao asked anxiously: "Why?" I don't know why! ”

Huang Xiaodao: "The original intention of my Taizu to set up a guard system is very good, in peacetime Tuntian, in wartime for soldiers, raising millions of soldiers does not consume a little people's fat and people's ointment!" But more than 100 years later, the guard system has long been rotten, the officers forcibly occupied the sergeants' tuntian, the guards have become the slaves of the officers, life is extremely difficult, usually for the officers to farm and sanitate, what is the combat power? Let these people go to war, and to say something unpleasant, that is, to give away people's heads!

The salaries issued by the imperial court were also embezzled by these people, and the weapons sent down, the officers of the guard post also resold them on a large scale, so that these people with incomplete weapons went to the battlefield, and the results were naturally self-evident, and more importantly, these soldiers had no money and no weapons, even if they won, there was no benefit, and there was still the motivation to fight? An army without fighting spirit will be crushed in the face of a strong enemy! ”

Speaking of this, Huang Xiao sighed, Da Ming is really hard to return, all aspects are rotten to the root, and he is a little unhappy.

Zhu Youxiao was ashamed and anxious, and he also sighed, he couldn't make a sound, how could he not know these situations? Sun Chengzong was the acting agent of Liaodong, and the excerpts that came up were generally no different from what Huang Xiao said.

Huang Xiao was a little distracted, but then he raised his spirit, since he came here, he had to change all this! Otherwise, how could he lie flat as an angry young man?

"Haha, Brother Zhu, don't be anxious!" Huang Xiao sometimes calls Brother Zhu Youxiao, and sometimes Brother Zhu, and he is slowly getting used to these.

At this time, Brother Zhu's sentence made Zhu Youxiao's heart perk, yes, although it is difficult, isn't there a virtuous brother here?

Huang Xiao said with a smile: "An army must have combat effectiveness, first of all, it must have faith, have thoughts, and know why it is fighting, with these, even if the weapons and personnel are inferior to the other party, it can also be defeated!" ”

Huang Xiao thought of the volunteers in Goryeo in the later generations, their weapons were extremely backward, and the conditions were unimaginable, but it was under such extreme conditions that they defeated the coalition army! What a magnificence!

"We must instill the idea of loyalty and patriotism, we must give them more honor than ordinary people, we must protect their lives, cherish their lives, and solve their worries!

Trained and equipped with sharp weapons, I really can't think of such an army, and what enemy is their opponent!

If you want to go on an expedition to the Americas, you must solve the problem of Jiannu and stabilize the domestic situation, so that you can let go of your hands and feet! Otherwise, even if there is a steam engine ship, our dream can only be a dream!

Without a strong army in hand, everything is a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water! ”

Zhu Youxiao's heart sank, and he said loudly: "That's right! Everything is built on the foundation of having a strong army at hand! Virtuous brother! You let it go! Everything has me! ”

He waved his hand vigorously and said categorically: "I will never allow the hard work of the virtuous brother to fail!" Our dreams must come true! It will be possible! ”

"Good!"

Huang Xiao's heart was full of enthusiasm, he jumped up, and said: "After the affairs of the Rejuvenation Hall are properly arranged, my brother will go all out for the training of the troops!" When the steam engine ship can cross the ocean, my brother will be able to sweep away Jiannu! ”

Zhu Youxiao stood up excitedly, held Huang Xiao's hand, and said loudly: "Okay!" I believe in the virtuous brother! Big brother, I'll wait and see! ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, and the sound shook in the air.

Stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun, the two returned to the city, and Huang Xiaoyueniang said goodbye to Zhu Youxiao and headed towards the courtyard.

Huang Xiao and Yueniang stopped in front of the courtyard gate, they were all shocked, they saw the courtyard gate open, both of them thought they had entered the robbers, Huang Xiao quickly stepped into the courtyard, and Yueniang followed.

Immediately, the two suddenly stopped, and saw Cui Pinhua and Zhang Lizhen sitting under the locust tree in the courtyard, talking something.

"Yikes! Brother Huang, come back so quickly, if I knew this, I wouldn't have come in first! ”

Cui Pinhua greeted him, and Zhang Lizhen also walked quickly.

Huang Xiaodao: "I went outside the city today, how did you get in?" ”

Zhang Lizhen said a little embarrassed: "I came in over the wall, this guy shouted and screamed when he saw it, so I let him in!" ”

Cui Pinhua hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, you can't misunderstand! We just came in and didn't arrive at half of the incense, so we chatted for a while about Brother Huang's masterpiece! ”

Brother Huang nodded and said, "It's okay, we're friends!" ”

Cui Pinhua nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, and said: "It's not, a friend's wife can't be bullied, this is a famous saying of the little brother!" ”

Brother Huang laughed, and Zhang Lizhen paused: "What nonsense! ”

Yueniang took a chair over, and after Huang Xiao sat down, she went to make dinner.

"Brother Huang, I really admire you! Not only are you a good doctor, but you also make up amazing stories! After the little brother saw the front yesterday, he really couldn't sleep at night! There is also Mrs. Sister-in-law, the ice she brought, she said that Brother Huang also taught her to make it! That's amazing! Cui Pinhua praised.

Huang Xiao looked over and saw that a clay pot on the table was constantly bubbling with cold air, and many water droplets condensed on the outer wall of the jar flowed down the jar.

"Humph! I see that the weather is hot today, and the ice food I make for you casually is definitely not as delicious as the one you made, do you eat it? Zhang Lizhen said.

Huang Xiao's heart warmed, what does it mean to do casually? This is clearly done on purpose!

"Of course I want to eat it! Thank you Jen for your concern! After a day of running outside the city today, it was really hot! Huang Xiao laughed.

Cui Pinhua grimaced and said, "Little brother is so envious, can you give me a taste?" ”
