    Sun Chuanting and others all saw the benefits of this kind of slogan-shouting training.

    First of all, shouting slogans like this for three meals a day will make the soldiers remember who they are serving invisibly, and their loyalty will be constantly improved subtly.

    If the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were trained in this way, maybe At this moment, Sun Chuanting had such a possibility flashing through his mind.

    However, he quickly dismissed the idea that had just arisen in him.

    The Ming court was not like the people of the Song Dynasty, who had enough food for the soldiers three times a day.

    According to what Sun Chuanting himself knew, even in some armies in the capital, it was already pretty good for the soldiers to have a few wowotou to eat a day.

    "You can't just ask the soldiers to chant slogans to thank the court when you give them Wowotou."

    Even if the soldiers yelled in obscenity, they were not sure how to curse, so it would definitely have the opposite effect.

    "The Song people were still rich, but the Ming court couldn't do this.

    "If you can't treat the soldiers like the people of Song Dynasty, then you don't want the soldiers to be grateful.

    Moreover, during the two months in Jincheng, Sun Chuanting had contact with many Song soldiers.  He found that there was no such thing as corruption in the Song army.

    This made Sun Chuanting truly convinced.

    "Corruption is rampant in the Ming army today, and there are few officials who do not drink the blood of soldiers.

    The imperial court¡¯s customary military pay was one or two five cents of silver a month, but it would be good to have five cents in the hands of the soldiers.  Just like that, you can¡¯t get it every month.  Therefore, one can imagine the great resentment of the soldiers.

    Of course, there are certainly some factors on the court¡¯s side.  Because the court has no money.

    "However, even if the imperial court issued military pay, it would still be embezzled by the officers.  Looking back, these officers would still tell the soldiers that the imperial court had not paid them any money at all.

    After all, in addition to their own enjoyment of corruption, these officers also need to spend large sums of money to support their servants.

    The main military force of the Ming Dynasty during this period was not the soldiers in a guard station, but the servants kept by the officers.

    These servants are the confidants and personal soldiers of the military officers.  Both the treatment and wages are much higher than those of ordinary soldiers.  It is precisely because of this reason that their combat effectiveness is also very impressive.

    You must know that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. These servants are fed and fed by the officers, so they must be able to use them.

    Of course, these servants did not disappoint.

    When Nurhachi was young, Li Chengliang, the Ming governor-general of Liaodong, was powerful.  The reason is that two thousand servants suppressed the Manchu people so much that they did not dare to cause trouble.

    It can be seen that the servant is very powerful.

    The reason why Nurhachi was able to rise among the black mountains and white waters was largely due to the foundation of the servants left by Li Chengliang, which enabled him to unify all the Manchu tribes in just a few years.

    The so-called seventeen armored cavalry mentioned in the history books is simply nonsense. It is just the Manchu chroniclers trying to put gold on their faces.

    But anyone with a brain can imagine it.  Seventeen people fight against hundreds of people. If everyone has the same fighting ability and fighting will, then the side with fewer people will definitely not be able to do it.

    You know, there were only a few people following Nurhachi at that time.

    If there is no other reliance.  He wouldn't survive at all.

    Oh, right.  Nurhachi is Li Chengliang's godson, and Nurhachi's mother is still in a relationship with Li Chengliang.

    Of course, this is not official history, but the so-called unofficial history.

    But the problem is that after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there were various literary inquisitions, coupled with the wanton tampering of some history and so on, the unofficial history may be more reliable.

    The credibility of Manchu and Qing official records has become very low.

    "After all, the Central Plains was ruled by the Manchus at that time. How could they record that the historians were not allowed to obey their masters?

    This is a no-brainer.

    Jia Ding, in the late Ming Dynasty, can be said to be a beautiful landscape.

    However, Chengye Ding Lingye also.

    After all, the servants are the armed force of the dead. Although they are very powerful in combat, their allegiance is not to the Ming Dynasty court, but to the personal generals who support them.

    In this way, if the generals have selfish motives, these familiesOf course, Ding would not use his full strength in the battle.  They were even unwilling to participate in the battle at all.

    Under such circumstances, it is obviously unrealistic to rely only on those daimyo soldiers who have been deprived of their military pay and went to the battlefield hungry.

    How can those soldiers fight if they don¡¯t even have enough to eat?

    Some Ming armies even lacked complete weapons.

    The reason is very simple. The weapons were sold privately by the generals for money.

    So, once such an army goes to the battlefield, it can only fire a few wooden guns, but how can they fight against the strong Eight Banners soldiers?

    So, it¡¯s not surprising that Ming Dynasty is now being suppressed by Hou Jin.

    Regarding this inside story, Sun Chuanting understood it, as did Yang Fengyi, the former governor of Liaodong, and even Wu Sangui, who had a low status, also understood it.

    But in the current official environment of Ming Dynasty, what can they change?

    They can't change anything.

    If they want to change this trend, they will definitely touch the interests of a huge group of people.

    When the time comes, it will definitely lead to death.

    Yang Fengyi¡¯s current fate is a clear portrayal.

    When Yang Fengyi was appointed governor of Liaodong, she also saw the drawbacks.  At that time, he did not benefit from those people, but found another way to build a mountaintop on his own and trained an elite team of Liaodong.

    But even so, those people still refused to let him go.

    Although you have not touched our interests, if you succeed.  Isn¡¯t this telling the court that we are all idiots?

    So, those talents teamed up to betray Yang Fengyi in Yehuling.  As a result, all the elite Liaodong soldiers he had trained so hard were wiped out in one fell swoop. It could be said that the entire army was wiped out.

    "In short, it won't work if you are different from everyone else, unless you are in cahoots with us.

    You want to keep yourself clean and achieve results. If you succeed, where will you put others?

    It is precisely for this reason that Sun Chuanting and others cannot do things that the Song people can do.

    Moreover.  Where do they get all the huge expenses?

    You know, they are not as rich as the Song people. They lent more than 15 million taels of silver to the court without even blinking an eyebrow.

    This Song Dynasty person is still generous.

    Wu Sangui sighed deeply at the side.

    That¡¯s not what it is.

    The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty only had two meals a day, and each meal was steamed buns stuffed with wild vegetables, but look at what these Song soldiers ate.

    ¡°Three meals a day are all white rice.  There is also fish and meat every meal.

    Even though the food of the Japanese soldiers from Kyushu was not as good as that of the Song soldiers, they still had white rice and a meat dish for every meal.

    And the Song peopleoh, no!  Even compared with those Japanese soldiers, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty looked like beggars.

    Therefore, Wu Sangui sighs and chants.  Yang Fengyi and Sun Chuanting felt the same way.

    If they are so rich, why not worry about not being able to train an elite Ming army.

    "Your Highness, the sun is so hot, why do you still come here to inspect?"

    The Japanese who were lining up saw people like Zhao Hongyu, and the imperial colonel who was in charge of managing these people.  Then he ran over at a trot.

    "Well, I just came to take a look. After all, they have been training for half a month. I always want to come and see how the training is going."

    Zhao Hongyu slowed down the speed of his horse, sat on the horse, nodded to the colonel and responded.

    "It's lunch time now, and these Japanese soldiers are all waiting to receive their lunch. How about I ask them to assemble in formation and give them a drill?"

    The colonel asked after hearing this.

    Zhao Hongyu waved his hand: "No, I think they are in good spirits now, and the slogans they shouted just now are also good. I think these Kyushu soldiers can still be used once they come to the battlefield."

    At this time, Jay Chou, who was following Zhao Hongyu, came up on horseback and said to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, please rest assured that our will has not relaxed due to the ideological education of these Kyushu soldiers. I can guarantee that if there is a war, there will be no problem in letting them go into battle."  of."

    After listening to Jay Chou¡¯s words, Zhao Hongyu sat on his horse and looked around, then smiled.

    "I'm very relieved when you do things." Of course, Zhao Hongyu is quite relaxed about these genetic people under his command.I'm sorry, he didn't lie about this at all.  "I just want to know now, would it be okay if we let these Kyushu soldiers do something now?"

    "Your Highness, what do you mean?" Jay Chou came over and asked.

    The colonel standing there became very quiet when he saw his general speaking.

    "Recently, more and more Houjin spies have appeared near Jincheng, so I want to mobilize these Kyushu soldiers to kill those nasty flies!"

    It turns out that while Zhao Hongyu was focusing on construction in Jincheng, more and more Houjin detectives appeared nearby.

    At the beginning, there were only one or two scouts from Houjin.  Moreover, these scouts were only on the periphery and did not dare to get too close to Jincheng.

    But as time went by, these Houjin scouts became more and more courageous. Not only did they slowly approach the Jincheng under construction, they also plundered and killed the Ming Dynasty refugees scattered around.

    In the past half month alone, Zhao Hongyu has received many reports on this aspect.

    Within a hundred miles of Jincheng, there are still many scattered small villages.

    These people of the Ming Dynasty did not come to the relatively safe Jincheng. After all, Zhao Hongyu and the others were considered outsiders to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

    Jay Chou understood Zhao Hongyu¡¯s plan, and after looking at the colonel, he turned to Zhao Hongyu and said with a serious face: ¡°I wonder when your highness will dispatch these Kyushu soldiers?¡±

    Zhao Hongyu turned his head and looked in the direction of Shengjing, the capital of the Later Jin Kingdom, and said quietly: "The faster, the better, these flies are becoming more and more annoying!"

    The colonel who was standing there quietly had excitement in his eyes at this time, with a hint of excitement at the same time Soldiers of the empire are not afraid of fighting at all, especially against Hou Jin
