Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In about half a day, Zhao Hongyu took Li Xiang and the others to visit the navy station.  They even got to know each department, and now Li Xiang and the others had a clear idea.

    After seeing the welfare, food, pay levels, the living quarters of the soldiers, and the various supplies issued by the empire, Li Xiang and the others were shocked and numb.

    They have been wondering, the Song Empire has been subjugated for hundreds of years, how come it became so rich after arriving in America?

    Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, they would have to linger on.

    However, what they saw before them told them that this was the real fact.

    The Ming Dynasty controlled Chinese orthodoxy, but it was not so wealthy.

    Mother!

    There are two sets of military uniforms for each season throughout the year, various underwear and shoes, and daily necessities. It adds up to a lot of things.

    At the same time, Li Xiang and the others have never even seen those military supplies and daily necessities.

    Like shampoo, shower gel, razor, shoe polishetc.

    Grandma, a low-level soldier is just cannon fodder. As for giving so many things?

    Li Xiang and the others really don¡¯t understand.

    But one thing Li Xiang and the others must admit is that the imperial soldiers are indeed elite and brave men.

    The empire was willing to spend money on them, providing them with good clothes and food, and even so many daily necessities.  But these soldiers will also try their best during the war, even giving their lives to repay the empire.

    Even Li Xiang's nephew Yang Biao secretly said to Li Xiang: "If the empire treats me like this, I will die with my life."

    It is not unreasonable for Li Xiang¡¯s nephew Yang Biao to say this.  After all, the status of warriors was low these days, and people in Akira believed in the principle that a warrior would die for his confidant.

    Why should a scholar die for his confidant?

    For those soldiers at the bottom, the country treats them well and treats them well in peacetime.  Then they will sacrifice their lives during the war. This is a very simple reason.

    And for Li Xiang and the others, this set of things also works.

    With such generous treatment, his life is better than that of a small landowner.

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible to say that the soldiers at the bottom are not moved.

    "If this was done in the Ming Dynasty, which general would be so willing to do this to the soldiers? Even if they want to rebel, the soldiers will follow.

    ¡°And in the Ming Dynasty, the elite around the military generals were also servants. In fact, this method was also used.

    In the late Ming Dynasty, these elites were the ones who dared to charge into battle with their generals when they were at an extreme disadvantage.

    Even if they know that following their commander into battle, the result will be death!  But they will also move forward without flinching.

    It seems that the power of the Song Empire is not unreasonable.

    Even I am moved by the fact that they are so willing to spend money.

    ¡° Moreover, well-fed and well-clothed, the physical fitness of these soldiers of the Song Empire was also very good.

    "Compared to the soldiers from the Ming Dynasty, their physical fitness is much better.

    "Look at the soldiers of the Song Empire. They are all big, round and muscular, with extremely well-developed muscles. Such soldiers were definitely the best candidates for servants in the Ming Dynasty.

    At the same time, such soldiers are very strong and have very obvious advantages in combat.

    Because such a capable soldier is not just one person, but tens of thousands of them.

    They look like the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. All of them have sallow and thin faces, or they are malnourished and skinny.  How can soldiers like that fight a war?

    ?That is, it can be used to bully and bully ordinary people.

    "If we let those people go to war, it probably won't work.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Once the battle begins, saving your life is probably the most important thing.

    If the wind goes smoothly, we can still fight, but once the enemy is strong, it won't work.

    At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the key to why the peasant army could repeatedly fight against the imperial court and bring out a large number of troops from time to time was this.

    It was only after seeing such shortcomings that the elite Ming army Guan Ning cavalry at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan, who was in charge of Liaodong at the time, vigorouslyDayton, and guaranteed military pay.

    This is also the main reason why Liaodong military pay has always been a headache for the court.

    You want the horse to run, but you don¡¯t want the horse to eat grass!

    There is no such truth in this world.

    If you want others to sacrifice their lives for you, you must at least let them know that it is worth it to sacrifice their lives for you.

    At least people like Li Zicheng know this.  Even the lower-level soldiers in the rebel army knew this.

    After all, after they attack the city and plunder the county, they can make a fortune themselves.

    So they can mess with the court regardless of life and death.

    On the other hand, it was different at the imperial court.

    The court gave them enough food and clothing, so why would those soldiers fight to the death with them?

    Your life is yours, but your enjoyment and money were taken away by the people you protected.

    ¡°Damn, this makes people feel uncomfortable just thinking about it, doesn¡¯t it?

    "Look at the Song Empire, it's different. They treat the soldiers at the bottom very well, and they take care of everything that should be taken care of.  It even goes beyond a lot, and people you wouldn¡¯t expect can also receive benefits.

    How could the soldiers raised by raising soldiers like this not fight to the death?  ?

    ¡°At least Li Xiang thought about it, and he felt that if he was treated like this, he would work hard for the Song Empire until he died.

    Therefore, Li Xiang was not surprised at all when his nephew Yang Biao secretly said something to him while visiting the military camp.

    Li Xiang even asked Yang Biao if other brothers had such thoughts?

    Yang Biao¡¯s answer was simple and direct: ¡°Yes! Everyone thinks so.¡±

    At this point, Li Xiang stopped asking questions in this regard.

    In the center of the huge naval station, there is a large yurt.  This yurt is thirty times the size of the other yurts, and there is a large iron box standing outside the yurt.

    Huh?

    What kind of building is this?

    Li Xiang and the others were very curious about this.

    Seeing the curious looks on Li Xiang's and others' faces, Zhao Hongyu said: "This is a bathing place. Soldiers in our army are very particular about hygiene. They take turns to take a bath here every night. This can ensure that the soldiers are clean."  Yes, there won¡¯t be so many diseases.¡±

    There is actually a place to take a shower.

    After Li Xiang and the others heard this, they really didn¡¯t know how to describe it.

    However, they have already seen a lot of things that surprised them in the military camp, so now that there is such a place where they can take a bath, they will no longer be surprised.

    ¡°It¡¯s hard to get hot water for bathing in this winter.¡±

    Li Xiang thought for a while and said to Zhao Hongyu.

    Zhao Hongyu nodded: "It's not easy to do, after all, the weather is a bit cold. But it's not something that we can't solve. Look at the place where the boiler is burned. I bought a lot of coal, specifically for  Come and boil water for the soldiers to use for bathing. At the same time, after the unused water is boiled, everyone can have a sip of hot water. There is also a small shop nearby where you can buy tea.  "

    In the military camp, there is everything.

    It was an eye-opener for Li Xiang and the others.

    There are many products that they have never seen before, or even heard of.

    Everything here in the Song Empire shocked them and dazzled them at the same time.

    The more they know, the more mysterious it seems to them.

    The Zhao and Song Empire was subjugated by the Mongols hundreds of years ago, but after moving to the Americas, it unexpectedly established itself again and did so with great success.

    Looking at it like this, it seems that life is better than here in the Ming Dynasty.

    ??Look at the rosy faces of the soldiers. You can tell at a glance that they are eating well and there is nothing wrong with their bodies.

    "It's very different from the malnourished appearance of most people in the Ming Dynasty.

    "Let's go, I'll take you to the field hospital for the last time, and then let's come over and take a bath to feel comfortable."

    Zhao Hongyu waved his hand and led Li Xiang and the others out of the shower room and towards the foot of the hill.

    Li Xiang and the others did not object to Zhao Hongyu taking a bath here at night.

    ¡°After all, I will be in charge of the navy in the future, so there is no harm in getting used to the life of a soldier here now.

    After all, when the time comes, in order toIf you can't mingle with the soldiers, you will inevitably have to come into contact with them.

    Li Xiang is still clear about this.

    When the old brothers from Amami Island are brought to Nagasaki, the thousands of people may not follow him into the military camp. At least, more than half of them will go to America and get 200 acres of fertile land.  Be a good citizen and live a stable life.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out for the Navy, it is impossible for everyone to occupy official positions.

    He is not such a stupid idiot, because this will offend a lot of people.

    "Official positions in the military are not given easily. You have to show some ability."

    If you are in a high position without thinking, what will others think?

    Therefore, for those brothers who followed him into the navy, some of them would inevitably hang out at the bottom for a period of time.  Only when you have military exploits or something can you be promoted.

    Besides, Li Xiang can now see clearly that he has the final say in the war in the Navy.  But he definitely has no right to interfere with matters such as property, promotion, and other matters.

    After these brothers entered the military camp, they had to deal with the soldiers of the Song Empire. They spent all day together or slept in a yurt.

    While Li Xiang was thinking about this, she followed Zhao Hongyu and led him to a place at the foot of the hill where a red cross flag with a white background was flying (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature for more novels.  Good to update faster!)
