But before giving it, Zhu Yunwen needed to know the intelligence of the entire Mongolian tribe.
Xu Huizu was walking on the corridor entering the palace. When he heard something moving behind him, he stopped and put up a awning to block the scorching sun. He saw Song Sheng coming with vigorous steps.
"Song Sheng has met Wei Guogong."
Song Sheng walked closer and saluted.
Xu Huizu smiled heartily, nodded and said: "Along the way, I was still thinking about what important matter the emperor summoned. When Song Qian's matter came, I can already guess something."
Song Sheng asked: "If it is not the strategy of the three major battalions and the new army, it is an important matter on the northern border."
Xu Huizu nodded solemnly.
The two of them entered the Wuying Palace to ask for an audience. After saluting, they sat down.
Zhu Yunwen fanned his fan and said: "The scorching summer sun is unstoppable. I heard that more than 300 people were admitted to the training of the three camps yesterday. Do we need to change the training time?"
Zhongxu means heat stroke.
Xu Huizu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, once a war breaks out, no matter whether it is cold or hot, the sun is like fire, or the water is like ice, we must move forward. The training of the three major battalions should put will and spirit first, and should not be affected by the war. Yan.”
Zhu Yunwen frowned.
It is true that what Xu Huizu said is true. During the war, who cares how hot or cold you are, you have to fight when it is time to fight. If you want to withstand the fight on the battlefield, you have to temper yourself in peacetime.
Practice three days in the summer and three nines in the winter.
The training of a sergeant is not just a show for a fresh young man. He has a new hair style, puts on powder, shines his shoes, wears neat clothes, and wears a 2-tael iron knot in his waist.
Among the three major camps, no matter which camp you belong to, the basic weight should not be less than 20 kilograms.
You need to wear armor. Those who go to the battlefield shirtless are either slaves or death row prisoners, cannon fodder specially sent to die.
Real soldiers need armor. Even if you don't have iron armor and have changed your cotton armor into cotton trousers, you can still get some wooden armor.
The cavalry needs weapons, including longbows, arrows, and sabers. If you have a dark mind and like the sound of maces stabbing people, you can also equip them with maces.
Although you are a cavalryman, you like to use firecrackers. If you kill one with a shot, no one will stop you if you use the firecrackers as a stick.
As for the army, as long as you can win, no one cares whether you use a 40-meter sword or an 82-pound Qinglong Yanyue sword. Anyway, if you go up, you can't kill others.
I was killed by others, and I looked at the combination myself, without any strict requirements.
But these loads are real. Cavalry training does not mean spending five hours a day on the horse. You need to consider how to fight without the horse. Of course, you have to carry these loads.
Infantry is not easy either. They run slowly and die quickly. In order to survive, the armor often tends to be thicker, such as adding a wooden armor inside to serve as a shirt or something.
You also need to train with weapons. Not only that, if you run a long distance, you will have to carry three days of rations on your body...
The brothers in the Shenji Battalion are also heavy-laden. The fire blunderbuss are all made of iron and weigh more than 20 kilograms at a time. Some fire blunderbuss actually reach 34 kilograms.
It’s not easy to practice aiming every day with something weighing twenty or thirty kilograms. You must know that many rifles during World War II did not weigh more than ten kilograms...
Zhu Yunwen attaches great importance to the training of the three major battalions. He always goes to the training ground once or twice a month. He knows how hard it is to train sergeants. However, although Zhu Yunwen is the emperor, the training of the three major battalions at this time is the responsibility of the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army. The governor's office is jointly responsible.
Xu Huizu refused to let go, and Zhu Yunwen had nothing to do.
"Protect yourself well and ask the Taiyuan Hospital to send two people to serve in the military. Although the training is heavy, it cannot destroy the foundation."
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Xu Huizu agreed.
Zhu Yunwen changed the subject and asked: "Is there any movement in Oara and Tatar at the moment?"
Xu Huizu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, information on Oara and Tatar is rare. No further news has been received yet."
"Is there any way to find out what they are doing?"
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Xu Huizu was a little surprised. Why did the emperor suddenly care about Oara and Tatar? They should still be fighting among themselves at this time. They are already fighting among themselves. Why do you care about what they do?
"Well, if we send people into the Northland to get information, I'm afraid it will take some time. Moreover, it may not be possible..."
Xu Huizu was a little worried.
Sending a spy to find out information is a high-risk job, and it is common for people to go and never come back.
Even if you find a Tatar to spy on information, you might be instigated to rebel and come back to play Infernal Affairs.
"If you want to know the information about Oara and Tatar, I have a way."
Song Sheng said.
Zhu Yunwen
He looked at Song Sheng and asked, "What can I do? Let me tell you."
Song Sheng had been in Liangzhou for a long time and knew a lot about Oara and Tatar affairs. Seeing that Zhu Yunwen wanted to know about the situation in northern Mongolia, he said: "Your Majesty, this law... violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so..."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Song Sheng in confusion and asked: "What method is related to the law? Tell me, I don't blame you."
Song Sheng solemnly said: "Your Majesty, if you want to better understand the internal intelligence of Oara and Tatar, the best way is to send some people deep into the North. If the imperial court sends scouts to investigate, they can only go to the edge, and it is difficult to go deep. If we send the old Mongolian troops to investigate, I'm afraid people will be wary of it and it will be difficult to find out more."
"The people I tell you can enter the Oara and Tatar territories without any hindrance, or they can go deep into various places, travel south and north, and investigate the intelligence of all parties. If this is the case, the Mongolian tribes will have no secrets."
After Su Muzhe heard this, his eyes were a little confused.
Xu Huizu shook his head and said to Song Sheng: "Where can there be such a person in the world? The people of Oara and Tatar are not stupid, and they will not allow the people of the Ming Dynasty to walk around freely in their territory."
Song Sheng looked up at Zhu Yunwen and said slowly: "Your Majesty, with just one caravan, you can see the whole of Oara and Tatar!"
"Caravan?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Song Sheng seriously.
Xu Huizu was suddenly startled and said quickly to Song Sheng: "This must not be done!"
Song Sheng looked at Xu Huizu and said easily: "Wei Guogong, this is the best way for us to understand Oara and Tatar."
Xu Huizu shook his head, looked at Zhu Yunzhen, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Using the country's property to support Wala and Tatar is an act of treason."
Treason!
Song Sheng's eyes darkened. This accusation was very serious. Although it was not entirely true, the caravan's entry into the Northland did have the element of collaborating with the enemy.
But for Oara and Tatar, they only welcomed Ming merchants, and would never welcome Ming craftsmen and spies, or even Ming officials.
Although the merchants were not their friends, they had the necessities they urgently needed.
The Oara and Tatar people are very aware of the preciousness and importance of merchants. They will not kill or rob any merchant who enters their territory, but will only barter fairly.
This is a rare civilization among nomadic peoples.
