"Master Marquis, you have to make the decision for me. This Prince Liang is not a human being. Look at my ears. He made them so hard that I can't hear clearly."
The mountains are high and the roads are far, so the King of Liang had nothing to do, so he could only give comfort to Xiao Bing's request.
"Don't worry, I will make him pay the price one day. I will give you two more pieces of land when I go back. I am not in a hurry for revenge."
As soon as he heard that there was land, Xiao Bing suddenly felt no longer sleepy, and his ears could hear clearly, and he said gratefully.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Liang Wang can't do it, but Naha Chu in front of him can still do it.
After comforting the messengers and asking them to retreat, Zheng Xiong thought about the coming Liaodong troops.
The five thousand Liao soldiers would not be afraid of any Ming army one on one.
However, although the tens of thousands of wounded soldiers under his command have the advantage of having more people, their combat effectiveness is hard to say, and must be reduced by at least half.
I can only say that ten thousand versus five thousand seems to be my advantage.
But how to fight and how to eat these people still needs to be carefully considered.
"Old Li, does our pharmacy have any medicines that can make people lose their fighting ability or directly kill them? Of course it would be best if they don't kill them."
Well, it seems that the Marquis from home didn't have confidence in himself either, so he used a crooked idea. He clearly didn't want to play according to the routine, and his title as the Champion Marquis was wasted.
As a subordinate, it was his duty to share the leader's worries, so Li Si only dared to secretly criticize him.
"Master Hou, this is not just a matter of pinching it with your hands. Our pharmacy doesn't know how to do anything else. This is a piece of cake."
"Whatever result you want, we can get it done. It's just that the dose you need is a bit large, and Yanmen may not be able to prepare it. Even if it's available, they won't be fooled!"
This is a problem. Li Si's words are reasonable. Of course, Zheng Xiong is just preparing in advance.
If one plan fails, there is another plan.
I really put all my hopes here, and I am not stupid.
"You call the doctors together, have a good discussion, do some research on the food, take stock of the medicines, and make preparations."
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
Li Si left, and Zheng Xiong held a military parade in the military camp.
After this period of recuperation, the wounded soldier is almost healed.
Being carefree and having enough food and clothing every day is simply the happiest moment in my life.
Zheng Xiong was assigned by Lao Zhu to lead these wounded soldiers, and the wounded soldiers were very cooperative at this time.
The formation was quickly set up, waiting for Zheng Xiong's review.
Once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.
Normally I don't think anything of it, so I suddenly formed a formation and lined up neatly.
Especially these soldiers who have been screened on the battlefield give people a completely different feeling.
When he was recovering from his injuries, he was just like ordinary people. When he met Zheng Xiong, he greeted him with a smile, showing no harm to humans or animals.
Now there is a solemn look, and an invisible murderous aura rushes out. It is invisible and formless, but it gives rise to a chill in people's hearts.
I don’t know how other people feel, but Zheng Xiong’s expression at this moment is no longer as calm as before.
Infected by these wounded soldiers, they stood alone in the cold wind with a serious expression.
Zheng Xiong couldn't help but feel even more nervous when most of the wounded soldiers were still missing arms and legs and were still holding on to their formation on crutches.
No words can be said enough to face it head on.
This is a group of lovely people. The soldiers at this time do not have very lofty ideals. Their lifelong pursuit of becoming marquises and generals is their lifelong pursuit, or just to survive.
But it is undeniable that it is precisely because of this group of people who protect us that our country, China, can always stand firm in the world.
"Why are you soldiers?"
Expelling the Tartars, restoring China, making marquises and generals, or just staying alive.
The wounded soldier who had never thought about this could not help but feel a little confused at this moment. He was already half disabled, and no matter how many words he said, they would have become yesterday's news.
The scene was silent until Zheng Xiong gave the answer.
"In my opinion, only when there is a country, there is a home. Only when the country is peaceful can the small family be stable. Your Majesty drives out the Tartars and restores China so that the world can have a peaceful place. This is your significance."
"Because of you, we don't have to suffer from slavery or be inferior to others. We can be down-to-earth and truly be human beings."
"You are both respectable and admirable."
After a few words, everyone felt a strange feeling in their hearts.
I've never been told anything like this before.
Everyone is either trying to survive or working hard. In order to live a better life and become famous, they are always on the road to death.
Zheng Xiong's words seemed to make everyone feel another meaning.
It turned out that he was not a soldier for himself, and he found great comfort in Zheng Xiong's words for the scars and suffering he suffered.
A man dies for a man who knows himself, and a woman looks good for a man who pleases her.
These words resonated with the wounded soldiers. If it weren't for his physical disability, he might have shouted "Kill Zhentian" on the spot.
"I have summoned you today because there is going to be a battle and I need your help. This battle is not necessary, but it can enhance the power of our army. Can you do it?"
How can a man say no.
"OK."
One word was spoken from the mouths of thousands of people, and the scene was shocking.
"Okay, pick up your machetes and let me see if your skills are rusty."
"promise."
Under the command of the general, the swordsmen, spearmen, musketeers, and cavalry formed formations and practiced battle formations.
At the beginning, I was still a little unfamiliar and it was not easy to move.
Then he became more and more proficient and quite imposing.
Seeing this situation, Zheng Xiong also breathed a sigh of relief and gained a little more confidence.
I can't promise anything, I can only brainwash, and it seems to be effective.
After the drill, Zheng Xiong selected 5,000 relatively intact wounded soldiers and drilled again.
Different from the previous one, Lao Zhu sent cavalry for this expedition. This time they were equipped with horses for charge.
Others were not idle either and were practicing together.
The crowd seemed to have more momentum.
The improved firearms he brought were also found with 200 people for practice.
The sound of banging target shooting is endless.
Lasting until the afternoon, Li Si convened the doctors to make a specific drug plan based on the inventory and got it into Zheng Xiong's hands.
"Master Marquis, based on the inventory, our doctors have come up with some medicines that can be added to food to make people vomit and have diarrhea and lose their fighting ability. There is also a medicine that can kill people directly."
Zheng Xiong is quite satisfied with the fact that he is still very capable in his profession and his subordinates are even more capable.
"Go and talk to Ti Tiao and get a batch of food. Prepare it first and wait for the Yuan army to get here."
"yes."
After three consecutive days of training, the unfamiliar skills of these ten thousand people under his command were greatly improved.
The five thousand injured soldiers who were still intact also gave Zheng Xiong an extra surprise. Their combat effectiveness seemed to be quite high.
Although the other five thousand troops were missing arms and legs, they looked very impressive on horseback.
After Zheng Xiong's review, he believed that even if the poisoning method failed, the fight between the two parties would be at least 50-50.
The next step is to wait for the Yuan army to come and experience Zheng Xiong's hospitality.
