The sky is clear and the golden morning sun shines on the earth, dyeing everything everywhere into a golden color.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the camp got up early and started running and training in the morning.
Now they are in the New World, surrounded by a strange environment and indigenous people with unclear attitudes.
The string in everyone's heart is always tight.
Naturally, no one will be lazy when training.
With shouts and shouts, these Ming soldiers formed a square formation according to their respective organizations and began to run around the camp.
After completing a five-kilometer cross-country run with heavy loads, these Ming soldiers began to line up for breakfast.
Looking at the rice bowl full of meat, these Ming soldiers all had expressions of helplessness and disgust on their faces.
In this part of the New World, there is never a shortage of meat, but rice and noodles are rare.
During this period of time, the Ming army never lacked meat for meals.
However, if you eat too much meat, you will get tired of it!
These soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not very interested in meat now, but they are very greedy for rice and noodles.
Eat meat every day, eat meat every day, no one can bear this!
After breakfast, it was time to work all morning. These Ming soldiers had to work together on cultivating fields and building camps.
At noon, what they have to do is to have lunch and receive cultural education, ideological education, etc.
The further overseas you go and the farther away you are from your homeland, the more intensive your ideological education must be.
In the afternoon, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had to go to the military camps in batches to work and continue military training.
In the evening, there are cultural classes and talent performances.
During the night break, there will be surprise training sessions from time to time.
This is the schedule of Ming soldiers in the New World camp!
However, today the Ming army was just getting ready to do morning exercises, when a group of natives appeared outside the camp.
Anru took his own people and took the initiative to appear outside Daming's camp, wanting to make contact with Daming.
Du Wenhai received the report and learned that the indigenous people appeared outside the camp.
He pondered for a while, then spoke.
"Let's go, take the interpreter with you, I'll go meet the natives later!"
…
Early July of the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty's restoration!
Nanjing, Forbidden City, outside the Meridian Gate!
An execution platform was set up outside the Meridian Gate, and countless people spontaneously gathered around the execution platform, preparing to watch the excitement of beheading.
With the sound of a gong, officials from the Ministry of Justice of the Ming Dynasty who were responsible for the trial and supervision of executions entered the scene.
The execution platform was tightly surrounded by Ying Tianfu's government officials, patrol officers, and the judicial inspection team from the Ministry of Justice.
And separated the execution platform from the people watching around.
At the same time, the road in front of the execution platform was also cleared, and not long after, a team appeared at the end of the line of sight.
Prison vans lined up one after another and entered quickly.
The people watching the excitement all around began to point at the prisoners on the torture car.
"Are they the ones smuggling duck fillets?"
"Tui, you are really not a fucking thing. You can make money even though you are so stupid. You deserve to be beheaded."
"Who says otherwise? Once a person eats duck slices, he or she will become a human being or a ghost. Smuggling duck slices is simply something you would do if you lose your conscience."
"Yes, my third aunt's second brother's aunt's sister's son has eaten duck slices. I have seen him look like a human being or a ghost. How pitiful he is!"
"Well done! Kill all these duck sellers!"
"..."
The onlookers all showed great indignation.
Some people even took out rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and women's menstrual belts that had been prepared in advance, and threw them at the prison van.
Amidst a crackling sound, the prisoners in the prison car were hit with dirt and filth all over their heads and faces.
The patrol officers responsible for maintaining law and order did not stop this and ignored it the whole time.
Obviously, they don't have the slightest fondness for these duck fillet sellers.
Not long after, the prison car was pulled under the execution platform.
One by one, the prisoners were dragged out of the prison cars and taken to the execution platform.
The interrogating officer began to read out the charges against the prisoners.
The official's voice spread through the electric loudspeaker and resounded around the execution place.
"Li Sanduo was convicted of smuggling, selling duck slices, intentional homicide, bribery, robbery of property, and tax evasion."
"Several crimes shall be punished concurrently. According to the Ming Dynasty law, Lingchi shall be sentenced to one hundred and eight knives and shall be executed immediately."
"The criminal is Anderson, a British man. He is guilty of smuggling, selling duck fillets, and tax evasion."
"Several crimes will be punished concurrently, and the crime will be increased to one level. Lingchi will be sentenced to 216 knives and will be executed immediately."
"..."
Lingchi, a punishment like this, is actually rarely used.
Under normal circumstances, it will only be used by unscrupulous criminals such as those who commit rebellion and conspiracy, or by human traffickers who harvest and cut crops.
Under normal circumstances, Ling Chi would be fined with a sentence of one to two hundred knives.
Or even more, just a few knives or dozens of knives.
There are really only a few people who cost 3,600 dollars.
British Ambassador Green stood in the crowd, watching each and every British person being sentenced to torture, such as being tortured, being chopped in half, beheaded, and being torn apart from a car. The expression on his face was quite ugly.
He remembered that the punishments that Ming Dynasty had previously announced in newspapers were not like this.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, when it came time to actually execute them, almost all of these criminals were given a higher penalty...
All of this happened after he went to plead with the Ming Emperor!
He can guarantee that this is the revenge given to him by the Emperor of Heaven.
Don’t you want me to show mercy outside the law?
I don't want to, but I want to add another level of guilt to them!
Green's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his face.
He felt that he had been insulted and the dignity of the British Empire had been insulted.
However, he couldn't do anything.
In other words, they can't do anything now.
It is definitely impossible to defeat them. Now in Malacca, it is obvious that the Ming Dynasty is in an expansion situation.
Only by forming an alliance could Britain and other Western countries be able to resist the Ming Dynasty's westward expansion.
And more importantly, in the East-West trade, it was not Britain but the Ming Dynasty that took the initiative.
Once Mingying fell out, the trade between the two parties ended.
By then, the losses suffered by the British would be much greater than those of the Ming Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were no British, French, Dutch, and Portuguese people to do business with. If that didn't work, they could still build the Silk Road and let Osman be the second-tier dealer.
And Britain can't find a replacement who can take Ming's place!
Most of the commodities traded between the East and the West could only be produced by the Ming Dynasty in the world.
this is the truth!
Green took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and left the execution ground.
Behind him, there were faint screams and cheers one after another.
…
Time continues to pass, and as the weather enters autumn, the Ming Dynasty's garrison in the southwest is also ready to go out.
A large amount of food, grass and baggage were gathered in Kunming City!
Tropical rainforest combat troops dispatched from Southeast Asia are also actively preparing for war.
The armies of Japan, Ryukyu, Manchu, Qing, Wu and Zhou, as well as Annan, Siam and other countries have also arrived in the Ming Dynasty and are preparing to assemble.
The latest to arrive here is Wu Zhou’s team.
There is nothing we can do about it. The Wuzhou side is really far away, so we can't go any faster even if we want to.
But what Zhu Hongyu didn't expect was that Wu Sangui was willing to let his grandson personally lead troops to help the Ming Dynasty in the war and respond to the Ming Dynasty's call.
Although the number of troops sent by Guan Ning's army was not large, only about a thousand people.
But Wu Sangui was able to send his grandson to lead the army, which satisfied Zhu Hongyu the most.
If nothing else, at least the attitude is in place!
What Zhu Hongyu cares about most is his attitude.
After Wu Shicong led his troops to Nanjing, he was summoned to the palace by Zhu Hongyu to receive him.
Zhu Hongyu was also very interested in the grandson of Wu Sangui, who had a reputation for being good at fighting in history.
"The last general Wu Shicong is here to see your majesty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Zhu Hongyu was sitting on the dragon chair, and Wu Shicong completed the whole ceremony very respectfully.
Seeing this, Zhu Hongyu said with a smile.
"Fair body, no gifts!"
"Shi Cong doesn't need to be a stranger to me. According to seniority, Shi Cong should call me uncle."
Zhu Hongyu accepted one of Wu Sangui's daughters as his concubine. Although this daughter was still young, in terms of seniority, she was Wu Yingqi's sister and Wu Shicong's aunt.
Seeing Zhu Hongyu speak like this, the tension on Wu Shicong's face dissipated a little, but he still spoke.
"The general will not dare!"
Zhu Hongyu didn't care when he saw this scene, but continued to ask with a smile.
"How is King Anxi's health now?"
Wu Shicong heard this and spoke.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Grandpa is still in good health and is currently leading troops to attack Tianzhu."
"I believe it won't be long before good news comes!"
When Zhu Hongyu heard this, he nodded slightly with a gentle expression.
Wu Shicong continued.
"My grandfather plans to divide the Anxi Kingdom into two parts after entering India, and give them to his uncle and the father of the last general."
"Please give me your Majesty's permission!"
After Wu Shicong finished speaking, he stared at Zhu Hongyu with expectant eyes.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongyu recognized the temptation in Wu Shicong's words and responded.
"Okay! I agree to this!"
"When you get back, let King Anxi write to me. I will grant you the decree!"
Wu Sangui took the initiative to extend his favor, but Zhu Hongyu couldn't think of a reason for rejecting him.
Thinking about this, Zhu Hongyu spoke.
"Didn't King Anxi want the court to help him train a group of gunners some time ago? Let's ask King Anxi to send them later."
It turned out that Zhu Hongyu was biting his tongue and not letting go.
However, since Wu Sangui is so sensible now, he naturally has to give Wu Sangui something in return.
Wu Shicong heard this and bowed down.
"General, thank you for your kindness!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.
"Well, Shi Cong, please go visit your aunt. I still have government affairs to deal with here."
When Wu Shicong heard this, he knew that the emperor wanted to see off a guest, so he stood up and left in a very sensible manner.
Then he was taken to see Wu Yin by the palace chamberlain.
Seeing Wu Shicong, Wu Yin, who was playing hopscotch with Li Eunhui, her eyes lit up and she jumped towards him.
"Second nephew, it's you! Did the father ask you to come and see my aunt?"
Wu Yin ran to Wu Shicong, raised her head, and said with a smile on her face.
At only twelve years old, she still doesn't know how to restrain her emotions.
Wu Shicong looked at the little girl who appeared in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he still bowed obediently.
"I will see you at the end of my life, may you be blessed!"
Seeing this, Wu Yin said with a smile.
"Second nephew, you haven't answered my question yet. Did my father ask you to come see me? How is my mother doing now?"
Seeing this, Wu Shicong had no choice but to be patient and answer them one by one.
"Grandpa is still in good health. My aunt was ill last winter, but fortunately she recovered in the spring. I just miss you so much."
"..."
Listening to Wu Shicong's words, Wu Yin's original bright smile gradually disappeared.
Feeling a little down!
Obviously, she misses home too!
After two years away from home, I married a completely stranger man and lived in a completely unfamiliar environment. The only caring people around me were my sister Wu Tu and a few maids.
The only person she could play with was the former North Korean princess Lee Eun Hye, who was about the same age as her.
Wu Yin usually looks very lively, but when no one is around, she will secretly wipe her tears by herself.
Seeing Wu Yin's mood gradually declining, Wu Shicong hurriedly spoke to make amends.
"When I came to Daming this time, my aunt wrote a letter and asked me to pass it on to my aunt..."
While talking, Wu Shicong took out a letter from his arms.
Judging from the thickness of the letter, there is probably a lot of content in it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wu Yin took the letter from Wu Shicong and started reading it.
The handwriting on the letter is neat and elegant, and it was written by Chen Yuanyuan himself.
In the letter, Chen Yuanyuan asked Wu Yin how her life was, whether she had enough food and clothing, whether she had enough monthly money, whether she was bullied, whether she was happy in life, and whether she was having her menstrual period...
The content of the letter was very complicated and verbose, but Wu Yin could read it without blinking.
Between the lines, she could sense her mother's concern for her.
Involuntarily, tears welled up and dripped down her cheeks. Wu Yin sobbed softly.
Li Enhui on the side came over, gently protected Wu Yin, patted her back, and said.
"It's okay, it'll be okay!"
"..."
Seeing this scene, Wu Shicong felt a little embarrassed.
But being tall, he had no choice but to squat down to appease his aunt.
After being comforted for a long time, Wu Yin finally calmed down.
Wu Shicong also said goodbye and left.
A thousand cavalry sent by Wu Zhou are still stationed outside Nanjing. As the commander-in-chief, he cannot leave the army for a long time.
…
Outside Nanjing, there is a large campus on the bank of the Yangtze River!
This place was originally a school ground for the Imperial Guard. It was only used during military exercises and military parades. Normally, there would be no people here.
After the armies of various vassal states arrived in Nanjing, they were placed here.
There were 1,000 cavalrymen from Guan Ning's army, 2,000 Eight Banners soldiers from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and 3,000 samurai from Japan. The Satsuma clan also sent 500 people to join in the fun, and Ryukyu also sent 300 people.
People involved.
The personnel sent by these vassal states have all assembled in Nanjing City.
Then prepare to replenish them with supplies in the Ming Dynasty before heading south!
However, the armies sent by the vassal states on the Indochina Peninsula and the vassal states in Southeast Asia had to be assembled in Guangzhou City and then prepare to head west.
Guan Ningjun looked at the Eight Banners Soldiers' station not far from his own station. Everyone's eyes were full of alertness.
The Eight Banners soldiers were looking at each other with the samurai sent by the Japanese Tokugawa Shogunate.
The people sent by the Satsuma Domain were at war with the people sent by the Ryukyu Kingdom not far away.
Among these vassal states, there are many who have deep conflicts.
However, in the land of Ming Dynasty, no one dared to cause trouble.
Even if the enemy is not far away from them, they can only wait obediently for orders from Ming.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that there is a Ming army camp not far away, responsible for suppressing the troops from these vassal states.
When Wu Shicong returned to the camp, what he saw was such a tense and tense situation.
When he saw this scene, he didn't take any more care and took the people back to his camp.
Wu Shicong summoned the generals to discuss matters, and after everyone had arrived and sat down one after another.
Wu Shicong said.
"Go ahead and ask the brothers to be more honest these days and stay out of the military camp if they can."
"If you have a conflict with others, try to be tolerant."
"This is Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Next to it is the Ming army's garrison. If anyone is caught making trouble, I, the general, can't save them."
Wu Shicong liked the sound of his words, and everyone else stood up and said it.
"What the general said is true!"
"I'll understand later!"
"We will strictly control our soldiers!"
"..."
Although the prosperity of Nanjing dazzled them, the strength of the Ming army frightened them even more.
People like them don't dare to have thoughts that they shouldn't have.
…
Captain Natsu is a Ryukyu native.
Their family has been the servants of the Ryukyu Wang family for generations.
His father once even commanded the palace guard of the King of Ryukyu, and was considered a high-ranking figure in the entire Ryukyu Kingdom.
It's just a pity that his mother's status is very low, she is just a maid, and she is not loved by his father.
As a result, Captain Xia had never lived a good life since he was a child, and spent most of his time living with his mother.
Of course, although his father didn't like him, he was his son after all and he couldn't let him starve to death.
Therefore, Captain Xia never lacked food and drink since he was a child, and he even went to school with his legitimate son.
It wasn't until Captain Xia showed great talent while studying that his father took him seriously.
Although they are still unhappy, the living expenses given to Captain Xia and his son are much more, enough for them to live a prosperous life.
Moreover, he also began to make arrangements for Captain Xia's future.
Therefore, although Captain Xia has no favorable impression of his so-called father, he cannot be said to dislike him.
This time the Ming Dynasty ordered the Ryukyus to also send troops to go out with the imperial army to attack Burma.
Captain Xia's father arranged such an errand for him.
Let him join the army as a deputy general so that he can find a good background in the future.
On this day, Commander Xia had just returned from a confrontation with the Satsuma clan people outside the military camp when he was summoned by the military commander to discuss matters in the camp.
The relationship between Ryukyu and Satsuma Domain can only be said to be understood by everyone.
Originally, Ryukyu did not dare to attack the Satsuma clan, but since Daming's father helped Ryukyu teach the Satsuma clan a lesson, Ryukyu has become more independent.
Relying on the fact that he had a backer, he was usually very picky about the people of the Satsuma Domain.
Especially this time, in the large camp outside Nanjing, the camps of both sides were not far apart.
Everyone in Ryukyu thinks, in the territory of Daming’s father, can I still be afraid of you?
The Satsuma clan felt that now everyone is the dog of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all here to help the master. What do you have to be proud of?
Therefore, now both parties will scold each other when they have nothing to do!
However, it was just a scolding.
On Ming's territory, no one dared to take action.
If you start a war on Ming Dynasty's territory, you are destroying Ming Dynasty.
Daming's father's iron fist of love came down, and neither party could bear it.
Commander Xia entered the big tent and saw that basically all the officers from Ryukyu had gathered together.
In this expedition, the generals sent by Ryukyu were members of the Ryukyu royal family.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! His surname is Shang, and his given name is Yingjie. He is a tall man who has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is familiar with military books. He is one of the few talents among the Ryukyu Wang family who can stand alone.
Shang Yingjie led Commander Xia into the tent, nodded slightly and said.
"Everyone is here!"
"Since everyone is here, let me say a few words."
After Shang Yingjie finished speaking, everyone looked stern and acted as if they were all ears.
"The Ming Dynasty expelled the Japanese invaders and restored the country for us in Ryukyu. It is really a great favor."
"Since everyone has come to Ming Dynasty, you must not forget Ming Dynasty's kindness to Ryukyu, and you must also be prepared to work hard to gain fame on the battlefield."
"Military orders have been sent from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, ordering us to prepare to go south with the army!"
"The army will set out in two days!"
"After we start to march south, we must strictly control the soldiers along the way and not break military discipline. Especially when we get to the battlefield, we must fight as hard as we can to repay the emperor's kindness. Remember not to be a coward..."
"..."
Shang Yingjie gave the instructions earnestly.
After hearing the words, everyone bowed down and agreed.
After the meeting ended, Commander Xia left the tent and returned to the military camp.
I saw the soldiers in the camp queuing up to receive their meals. Every soldier's face was filled with excitement, eagerness, and full of expectations, as if they were looking forward to what they would eat.
Since the Ryukyu Kingdom's army arrived in the Ming Dynasty, their logistics supply was taken over by the Ming Dynasty.
When eating, it is basically prepared by the cooking team of the Ming army and then delivered to them.
The Ryukyu army can just eat ready-made food!
In fact, not only the food logistics for Ryukyu were taken care of by the Ming Dynasty, but also for other vassal states.
The food served during this period of time has been called "good guy" by everyone in Ryukyu.
They never realized that soldiers could eat so well.
The staple food tube is enough, so you can eat as much as you want. Meat is eaten once a day, and it is all fat and oily meat slices. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are also provided.
Not to mention the ordinary soldiers below, even people with some status like Commander Xia cannot eat like this every day.
After seeing the food of the Ming army, these soldiers realized why the Ming army's combat effectiveness was so strong!
If you eat and drink like this every day, it's impossible for you to become stronger in combat.
In other words, the Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Guan Ning Army of Wu and Zhou were not too surprised.
They all belong to the aristocratic privileged class in their respective countries, and their food is naturally not bad.
As for the remaining samurai sent by the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Satsuma Domain, their performance was similar to that of Ryukyu soldiers.
Although they are warriors, they can also be regarded as the aristocratic class in their own country.
However, Japan was a small country with a dense population, lack of natural resources, and food shortages, so it was unable to support so many samurai.
Apart from being good at martial arts, those so-called samurai's lives were no different from ordinary people.
For these little days, eating a rice ball is considered a Chinese New Year.
I have never eaten like this before!
You can eat all you want of rice, and you can also eat meat. For many young people, this life is already a fairy life that they could not even imagine in the past.
Captain Xia saw a group of people queuing up, but did not step forward to join them.
As an officer, he has the special treatment of opening a small stove.
Two days later, following the military order issued by the Fifth Army Governor's Office, a group of vassal armies gathered in Nanjing City of the Ming Dynasty set off.
Go southwest!
Also accompanying the army was a unit of the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty.
…
It’s the end of September, four years after the Ming Dynasty was restored!
The Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition against Nuergandusi basically came to an end.
While the subsequent construction team quickly followed up, only some finishing work was left.
Specific battle reports were sent to Busan by clipper ship, and then passed all the way to Nanjing via telegraph lines.
Finally, he was presented to the emperor!
Zhu Hongyu looked through the battle report, a smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on his face.
"OK!"
"Not bad, not bad, good job!"
"..."
Zhu Hongyu did not hesitate to praise Wang Guanghan and others' achievements in Nuergandusi.
Obviously, he was very satisfied with the performance of Wang Guanghan and others.
Starting from the official start at the end of May in the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Guanghan and others spent three months to remove three large strongholds of the Rakshasa people, namely Yaksa, Nerchinsk, and Okhotsk.
In addition, twenty-two small strongholds were removed.
More than 2,100 enemy troops were annihilated and more than 3,400 enemy troops were captured.
Most of the captives were women and children!
Just looking at these data, one might think that the results of the Ming Army's Northern Expedition were nothing more than this. Not many cities and strongholds were captured, and the total number of enemies killed and captured was only a few thousand.
But what you need to know is that the Ming army expanded its territory by nearly one million square kilometers in this battle, which is almost the area of the three eastern provinces.
This is already a great achievement!
Although it is true that Siberia is a bit bitter and cold, it is also true that it is rich in resources.
If Zhu Hongyu remembered correctly, he seemed to remember that there were gold mines in Siberia.
But he doesn’t know the exact location!
After pondering for a while, Zhu Hongyu spoke.
"Call the cabinet ministers to discuss the governance and immigration of Nurgandusi!"
After Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, it didn't take long for all the powerful figures in the cabinet to come outside the imperial study room to ask for an audience.
Zhu Hongyu ordered his ministers to be summoned, and then ordered them to be seated.
After everyone sat down, Zhu Hongyu spoke.
"The war in the north is over for the time being. Wang Guanghan's troops lived up to my expectations and successfully recovered Yaksa, Nerchinsk and other places, and recovered my Ming slave Gandusi."
"Recovered the place where Taizu became the ancestor!"
"But to regain the lost territory, it's useless to just attack it with the army; you also need to send officials to carry out actual governance."
"Can any of you gentlemen give me some advice on this?"
After Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, the gray-haired veteran Liu Tongwen stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly.
"The Qing family can speak freely!"
Liu Tongwen heard this and stood up and said.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Your Majesty, I think that if we want to restore Nuergandusi in the Ming Dynasty, before the people from the mainland immigrate, we may first do it in Nuergandusi.
Military camp."
"If the imperial court provides seeds and agricultural tools, and allows the army to cultivate while training, it can make the army self-sufficient, reduce the amount of baggage transported by the imperial court to the border, and reduce the imperial court's investment in maintaining the border."
"And then maintain our Ming Dynasty's military presence in Nurgandusi!"
Zhu Hongyu fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Countless histories at home and abroad, both ancient and modern, have proven that military garrisoning the newly occupied land is indeed the fastest way to digest the newly occupied land.
In order to maintain military power in the Western Regions, the powerful Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty carried out large-scale military camps.
But Zhu Hongyu was a little worried, if he were to launch a military camp against Nuer Gandusi now.
Will the military camp be turned into a replica of the military camp in the end?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Hongyu felt that it would not happen and gave up his worries.
In those days, the system of guarding was not actually a military camp, but a system of soldiers and generals.
The deterioration of the guard's combat effectiveness was precisely because of this.
When the garrison system was first established, the garrison soldiers at that time had military fields. The garrison soldiers fought for themselves and their own fields, so their combat effectiveness was naturally strong.
Comrade Lao Zhu also relied on these guardsmen who had land for everyone to successfully defeat the arrogant Mongolian cavalry and expel the Mongolian Yuan outside the pass.
However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, land annexation within the guards became increasingly serious.
The guardsmen in each guard post have become tenants of the generals above!
The combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's army naturally collapsed.
Is it possible that you can still expect a group of tenant farmers to fight bravely to protect their master's fields after they go to the battlefield?
Isn’t that bullshit?!
However, one thing to be clear is that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was very polarized.
As strong as the retainers and sentry soldiers of the Ming army generals, they could fight equally with the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Weak as a guard soldier, he would almost collapse at the first touch on the battlefield.
Not to mention the Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they couldn't even defeat the rogue bandits.
Therefore, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was only the guard system that was corrupted, not the recruitment system.
But now the Ming Dynasty adopts a recruitment system as a whole.
To a certain extent, the recruitment system can ensure that the combat effectiveness of the army will not be completely destroyed.
Even if you recruit soldiers for military garrison, as long as the rotation is proper, the combat effectiveness of the army can still be guaranteed!
…
ps: It’s the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket!
