The two walked and talked and came to the riverside. Huang Xiao sat on the grass, and Zhu Youxiao sat down after him.
"Brother Zhu, with the advent of our glass and steel, as well as the subsequent advent of steam engines and textile machines, the security of the base must be strengthened. The guard team must be expanded and trained. Brother Zhu must coordinate with the court. Bian, allow the existence of Dahuangzhuang’s escort team.”
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Brother Xian, just do it directly, the court does not need to worry!"
Huang Xiao smiled and said: "In this way, I am sure to train an invincible and powerful army!"
Zhu Youxiao was stunned and lost his voice: "Invincible?"
Huang Xiao nodded and asked, "What does Brother Zhu think of Jiannu's combat effectiveness?"
Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "It is said that the combat power is extremely strong, and the Jurchens are invincible if there are less than ten thousand Jurchens! It is really hateful to say that I am a powerful man with millions of soldiers, but I am always defeated by the Jiannu! I have been invaded by the Jiannu A lot of land and cities!”
Huang Xiao chuckled, "Yes, we often have several times or even ten times the strength of our troops, but we are beaten and run away by the opponent! It's extremely embarrassing! Is it really that we Ming people are not as good as soldiers in terms of soldiers? The same is true. The people of China, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty almost unified the grasslands, so they say that I, Emperor Yongle, personally conquered the Mongols and Yuan Dynasties five times, these all show that they are not human!"
Huang Xiao added: "Since it is not the fault of human beings, and my firearms skills are superior to those of Jiannu, why did I fail so badly? There must be a big problem! I have traveled around and seen the conditions of many guards. Understand why we always lose battles even though we have more people and advanced weapons!"
Zhu Youxiao asked anxiously: "Why? I can't understand it either!"
Huang Xiaodao: "My dynasty, Taizu, set up a guard system with good intentions. We can farm in peacetime and serve as soldiers in war. We can raise a million soldiers without spending any money on the people! But after more than a hundred years, the guard system has long been decayed, and officers have usurped sergeants." In the field, the guardsmen have become slaves of the officers, and their lives are extremely difficult. They usually farm and provide health care for the officers. What kind of combat power do they have? Let these people go to war. To put it bluntly, it will cost them their lives!
The military pay issued by the imperial court was also embezzled by these people, and the weapons issued by the guards were resold by the officers of the guard, allowing these people with insufficient weapons to go to the battlefield. The results are self-evident. More importantly, These soldiers have no money or weapons. Even if they win, there will be no benefit. Is there any motivation to fight? An army without fighting spirit will collapse when encountering a strong enemy! "
Having said this, Huang Xiao sighed, Ming Dynasty was really hard to recover from, everything was rotten to the core, and he was a little unmotivated.
Zhu Youxiao was ashamed and anxious. He sighed and was speechless. How could he not know these situations? Sun Chengzong was acting in Liaodong, and the report he came up with was the same as what Huang Xiao said.
Huang Xiao was slightly absent-minded, but then he picked up his energy. Now that he is here, he must change everything! Otherwise, how could he, an angry young man, be able to calm down?
"Haha, Brother Zhu, don't be anxious!" Huang Xiao sometimes called Brother Zhu Youxiao, and sometimes he called Brother Zhu. He was slowly getting used to this.
At this time, the words "Brother Zhu" made Zhu Youxiao's heart cheer up. Yes, although it is difficult, isn't there a good brother?
Huang Xiao smiled and said: "For an army to have combat effectiveness, it must first have faith, have ideas, and know why it is fighting. With these, even if the weapons and personnel are inferior to the opponent, it can still win the battle!"
Huang Xiao thought of the later volunteers in Goryeo. Their weapons were extremely backward and the conditions were unimaginably difficult. But even under such extreme conditions, they defeated the coalition forces! How heroic this is!
“We must instill the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, we must give them honors beyond ordinary people, we must protect their lives, cherish their lives, and solve their worries!
With additional training and sharp weapons, I really can't think of any other enemy that could rival such an army!
If you want to go on an expedition across the ocean to America, you must deal with the slave establishment and stabilize the domestic situation so that you can be free! Otherwise, even if we have steam engines and ships, our dreams will remain just dreams!
Without a strong army in hand, everything is just a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water! "
Zhu Youxiao's heart trembled and he said loudly: "That's right! Everything is based on having a strong army in hand! Dear brother! Just let it go and do it! I have everything!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands vigorously and said firmly: "I will never allow my virtuous brother's hard work to go to waste! Our dream must come true! And it will definitely come true!"
"good!"
Huang Xiao's heart was boiling with enthusiasm, and he jumped up and said: "After the arrangements for the Huichun Hall are in place, I will go all out for military training! When steam engines and ships can cross the ocean, I will definitely be able to sweep across the Jiannu!"
Zhu Youxiao stood up excitedly, held Huang Xiao's hand, and said loudly: "Okay! I believe in you! Brother, I will wait and see!"
The two looked at each other and laughed, the sound filling the sky.
Following the afterglow of the setting sun, the two returned to the city. Huang Xiaoyue Niang and the other two said goodbye to Zhu Youxiao and headed towards the courtyard.
Huang Xiao and Yueniang stopped in front of the courtyard gate. They were shocked. They saw the courtyard door opened wide. They both thought that a robber had entered. Huang Xiao quickly entered the courtyard, followed by Yueniang.
Then they suddenly stopped and saw Cui Pinhua and Zhang Lizhen sitting under the locust tree in the courtyard, talking about something.
"Ah! Brother Huang, you came back so quickly. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come in first!"
Cui Pinhua greeted him, and Zhang Lizhen also walked quickly.
Huang Xiaodao: "I have something to do outside the city today. How did you get in?"
Zhang Lizhen said with some embarrassment: "I climbed over the wall and came in. This guy started yelling and screaming when he saw it, so I let him in!"
Cui Pinhua said hurriedly: "Brother Huang, you can't misunderstand! We just came in and half of the incense arrived, so we chatted for a while about Brother Huang's masterpiece!"
Brother Huang nodded and said, "It's okay, we are friends!"
Like a chicken pecking at rice, Cui Pinhua nodded repeatedly and said, "Isn't that right? Don't bully your friends' wives. This is my little brother's famous saying in life!"
Brother Huang laughed, Zhang Lizhen paused and said: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Yueniang brought a chair over. After Huang Xiao sat down, she went to make dinner.
"Brother Huang, I really admire you! Not only do you have great medical skills, but you also write wonderful stories! After reading the previous article yesterday, I really couldn't sleep at night! And my wife brought ice, She said that Brother Huang taught her how to do it! It’s amazing!” Cui Pinhua praised.
Huang Xiao looked over and saw a clay pot on the table that was constantly steaming. Many water droplets condensed on the outer wall of the pot and flowed down the pot.
"Hmph! I see that the weather is hot today, so the iced food I made for you will definitely not be as delicious as the one you made. Will you eat it?" Zhang Lizhen said.
Huang Xiao felt warm in his heart, what does it mean to do it casually? This was obviously done on purpose!
"Of course I want to eat! Thank you Zhen'er for your concern! I ran around outside the city for a day and it was really hot!" Huang Xiao laughed.
Cui Pinhua said with a calm face, "I'm so envious of you, can you give me a taste?"
