Chinese dynasties have never lacked soldiers who dare to fight at the beginning of the dynasty, and there is no lack of generals who can be recruited, but in the last years of each dynasty, there are always neither generals nor soldiers who dare to fight. It stands to reason that the children of the Eight Banners can be regarded as the earliest professional soldiers on the earth, they do not make a living, and the only purpose of their existence is to fight as soldiers, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Kangxi Dynasty, the brave style of the Eight Banners is an indisputable fact, but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, they became tofu soldiers, which may not be explained by a backward weapon.

In his previous life, Yinzuo had seen a lot of articles on the Internet about the vulnerability of the Eight Banners of the Xi Dynasty, and he had also expressed such views on the Internet, however, Yinzuo came to this dynasty for more than 20 years, but found that this was not the case, not to mention the Eight Banners, even at this time, most of the green battalions were happy to hear the war, and the spirit of blood and courage was full of blood, and military merit was still one of the most desirable contributions of all people. Yinzuo didn't understand it a little, but vaguely felt that this should have a lot to do with the selection system and training mechanism of generals.

Let's not talk about the promotion of meritorious service, according to the Qing system, it is very easy for the elder brother and the magnates to stuff their own slaves into the army, if there is no strong relationship, it is very difficult for a soldier to be promoted to a guerrilla general even if he has made repeated military merits, and it is basically impossible to have a brother for more than ten years, but what about the slaves of the elder brother? A battle has not been fought, an inch of merit has not been established, a random letter of appointment is in hand, and it is like a guerrilla fight, even Yinzuo himself has not done such things, in the long run, it is strange that the military can flourish?

No matter what era, the army is always the absolute guarantee of the regime, this is an undoubted fact, Yinzuo has long had the intention to reform the military system, but it is not yet time, and can only temporarily put such annoying things in the back of his mind, now Wang Xifeng's tears have aroused Yinzuo's thoughts about military reform, and suddenly realized that the decay of the army is related to the military system, I am afraid that it has a lot to do with who to fight for and why to fight, and secretly thinking about how to start military reform in the future. Thinking about this, thinking about it, people are a little in a trance, walking in the backyard at will, a large group of maids and mothers behind have always been afraid of Yinzuo's majesty, and no one dares to come forward to disturb, the sky is dark, Yinzuo is still wandering there aimlessly, until a little girl who came to pass the ceremony woke Yinzuo from his contemplation, and then he realized that it was already late.

"Master, the thirteenth master is here, and people are waiting outside the mansion gate." Xiao Yahuan said with a wince.

Well? The old thirteen is here? Oh, it's supposed to be for Beigukou training, hey, look and see. Yinzuo nodded and said, "I know, this king will go, well, let the dining room prepare dinner, and this king will use it later." Yinzuo stayed with the **, and walked out of the gate without looking back.

"Sixth brother." The old thirteen, who was dressed in a moon-white cloth shirt and a tiger skin jacket, immediately stepped forward when he saw Yinzuo coming out to greet him, and saluted respectfully.

"Brother Thirteen is here, let's go, sit down in the house." As soon as Yinzuo saw that the old thirteen came alone, he knew that this kid was going to come to offer his sincerity, greeted him with a smile, stretched out his hand to hold the old thirteen's shoulder, and entered the hall with a smile and a smile.

"Old thirteen, my brother hasn't had dinner yet, so I'll accompany my brother to have a few drinks." As soon as Yinzuo entered the hall, he said with a smile.

"Cheng, the sixth brother is full of celebrity chefs, and the younger brother has admired him for a long time." The old thirteen didn't be polite, sat down casually, and said with a smile: "The younger brother was able to re-emerge from the mountain this time, thanks to the sixth brother's suggestion, the younger brother is very thankful." ”

"The thirteenth brother said this, my brother didn't actually do anything, this is all the credit of your fourth brother's recommendation, hehe, the sixth brother can't be your thanks." Yin Zuo said with a smile.

The thirteenth man shrugged his shoulders with disdain, and didn't take the topic, just picked up his glass and said, "Sixth brother, junior brother toasts you." As soon as the words fell, I did it first.

Hey, that's interesting. Yinzuo smiled and drank the wine glass in one go, and didn't speak, just smiled, waiting for the old thirteen to turn to the next by himself.

"Sixth brother, you know, the little brother bears the name of a soldier, but in fact, he hasn't really led a soldier, it's really shameful to say, alas." The old thirteen shook his head with a wry smile, and his words were full of bitterness.

Well, this kid must have remembered the great exploits of the fourteenth child, and his heart was unbalanced, hey, if you didn't insist on making a move on the second child, you wouldn't have fallen to the point where you are today, well, with the meanness of the fourth child, it is natural to suffer. Yinzuo remembered that the famous Thirteen Sage Kings in the time and space in his previous life were tired to death, and he felt a little pity for the old thirteen in his heart, but Yinzuo would not show his face, he smiled blindly, but did not answer.

The thirteenth saw that Yinzuo didn't say anything, and didn't say anything, drank the wine silently, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly said: "Sixth brother, the younger brother is going to set off tomorrow, you know, the younger brother has nothing to call people, this soldier is not easy to practice, the sixth brother, your house is full of old fighters, can you allocate some manpower to the younger brother, no more, a dozen or so people, so that you can make up for the staff, the younger brother is also a head, and I hope that the sixth brother can complete one or two." ”

Need? Hmm, the old thirteen is a vain, and he has made it clear that he is going to defect to us. Yin Zuo's heart moved, and he immediately understood Lao Thirteen's thoughts - in this era, in addition to being related to the will of the commander of the army, the tendency of an army is largely influenced by those commanders, if the will of the commander is contrary to the will of the vast majority of commanders, the commander may not be able to command this army. Yinzuo's group of lieutenants are carefully selected, and after following Yinzuo for a long time, their loyalty has gone through various tests, and let them serve as the commanders of the old thirteen newly trained army, which is equivalent to clearly handing over this team to Yinzuo's hands, in other words, the old thirteen intends to be completely loyal to Yinzuo.

Tempt! Great temptation! Yinzuo's heart was pounding, but he didn't immediately open his mouth to accept it, and didn't mention whether the old thirteen was sincere, even if the old thirteen was sincere, Yinzuo also had to guard against the suspicion of the old man Kangxi, if he was ginseng for this matter, it would be a little unworthy, not to mention, there is no impermeable wall at all for such matters involving military affairs, Yinzuo will adjust the manpower, and the eighth or even the fourth will be ready to play the badge, and it is a big crime to throw it out at the scene; Moreover, although the old thirteen has expressed his intention to defect to Yinzuo, but the old thirteen has been following the fourth child for a long time, and there is no strange thing here, and a group of brothers are not vegetarians.

Yinzuo quietly passed the various possibilities in his heart, he already had a plan in his heart, his eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "Old thirteen, it's not that my brother refutes your face, my brother can give it, and now my brother is just planning to change a group of captains, and there are just some extra manpower, but it's not much, that is, three or five, the thirteenth brother will use it first, and the brother will try to make it up in the future, so can it be done?" ”

"Cheng, just follow my brother, and thank you here for my younger brother." The thirteenth brother responded very simply, and did not stay long, drank all the residual wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "Sixth brother, this matter is decided, the younger brother has to get up early tomorrow morning, so he will not stay longer, and the elder brother's people will go to the younger brother's house early tomorrow morning and leave." ”

The old thirteen came quickly, went quickly, Yinzuo sent the old thirteen away, and turned back to the study with questions, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the old fourteen sitting in the study with a big grin and chatting with Wu and Lin.

Well? Old Fourteen, this stinky boy, suddenly came over, and the gang of dogs didn't even report it. Yinzuo thought that the porter didn't inform him of the arrival of the old fourteen, and his heart suddenly became angry, but Yinzuo was deep in the city, but he would not have a seizure at this time, and said with a smile: "Old fourteen, if you don't go to rest so late, is it possible that you plan to go to your brother's mansion to fight the autumn breeze again?" ”

Although Yinzuo didn't express any dissatisfaction, but what he thought in his heart couldn't be hidden from Wu and Lin, the old fourteen hadn't spoken yet, Wu Sidao preemptively said: "The thirteenth master hasn't left yet, the fourteenth master has arrived, and it was Yulu who asked the people not to disturb the prince." ”

Well? Lao Wu has always done things safely, hey, don't let people report it, there must be something strange here. Yinzuo smiled, there was no interface, just looked at the old fourteen inquiringly.

The old fourteen laughed nonchalantly and said: "Sixth brother, let's make a will today, and the news of the younger brother taking command of the expedition will spread, yes, this time it's okay, hey, the fourth and eighth are sticky to the younger brother, full of, and they want to stuff people to the younger brother, but they are all fooled by the younger brother." ”

Hey, this is just the proper meaning of the question, who doesn't want to make military merits? Well, the fourth child recommended Nian Qianyao, so I don't know who the eighth child recommends? But these bird things have nothing to do with us, and the old fourteen is also here to show loyalty. Yinzuo's heart turned and he understood the intention of the old fourteen, and he didn't break it, and said with a smile: "It's a little bad for the old fourteen to do this, no matter what, the brotherhood still has to be talked about, if you are a person, the old fourteen can do it himself, as long as you can win the battle, it doesn't matter." ”

"Hehe, the little brother knows in his heart, the fourth and eighth brothers didn't come here to stuff people here for some military merits, but just to add a few contacts, ha, I guess it's the idea of beating the little brother. Hey, the little brother is not stupid, what are you doing without taking care of yourself? Old Fourteen said with a grin.

Hmm, Lao Fourteen said this too bluntly, it's a good thing to be fair, but it's too much, isn't it? Yinzuo's heart moved secretly, but he didn't bring it to his face, he just smiled and said: "It's their business if the fourth and eighth have any thoughts, but they are all their own brothers, and there is no need to make too much trouble, well, if they want to recommend someone, the old fourteen pick a few that are quite pleasing to the eye and accept it, and the decency that should be given is still required, and it is not good to let people gossip without land." ”

"Cheng, with the words of the sixth brother, the younger brother will go back to them, and let them all go to the back camp to stay, but there will be no incident, oh, sixth brother, the younger brother is here today, but I heard that the old thirteen will go to the fourth mansion as soon as he receives the order, and it seems that he has also gone to the eighth mansion to take a turn, which is very interesting." Old Fourteen replied with a grin.

, a bunch of brothers are not good birds, even your old fourteen is not necessarily a pure minister, fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, nothing interesting. Yinzuo knew very well in his heart that this dispatch of troops was another major reshuffle between the brothers, and this point had already been discussed many times privately with Wu and Lin, but he didn't care much, at this time, he listened to the provocative words of the old fourteen, and he didn't take it to heart, just smiled and said: "Old fourteen, tomorrow is going to order troops, there are a lot of things, go and rest early, my brother is tired and panicked today, so I won't leave you." ”

"Yes." The fourteenth elder got up with a smile, bowed and said: "Sixth brother, let the fourth brother come out this time, ***, the little brother of the grain is really beating a drum in his heart, hey, I have to bother the sixth brother to stare at the point, don't let the little brother suffer the fate of Chuan Erdan." ”

, this stinky boy still has something to say, yes, let's see, let's not believe that the fourth child can jump out of the palm of our hand, and you kid is the same. Yinzuo smiled and waved his hand and said: "Your fourth brother is a fine person, he will never go wrong, and the sixth brother will also help to take a look, I can't lose you, let's go, I'll rest early, and I'll talk about it later." ”

The old fourteen walked out of the study with a smile, and went far away by himself, and Yinzuo didn't send it, just stared at the back of the old fourteen with his eyes, frowning and thinking about his thoughts...... !
