Chapter 188: Inheriting the Legacy of the Mongol Empire
When the military parade of later generations appeared in the Ming Dynasty, the shock it brought was definitely something that everyone who saw it would never forget in their lifetime.
Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ying himself visited it in his previous life, and it is still fresh in his memory until now.
Of course, with only twelve days of training, the difference compared to the military parade in the previous life was not even a slight difference. However, Zhu Yuanzhang had never seen such a marching method, and the impact it caused can be imagined.
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Sun Versailles' questions and stared directly at the soldiers who were standing still.
"Grandpa, don't stand here anymore. If word gets out that you come to my place, and your grandson asks grandpa to stand at the gate, what's the point?"
Zhu Ying said helplessly, then pointed to the parade platform in the center of the school ground and said: "Grandpa, that was specially modified by my grandson. It will be more comfortable for us to go up there and watch."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he turned around and saw that the former general ordering platform had been made into a high platform more than three feet tall. There was also a stone fence on the high platform.
"Okay, let's go up." Zhu Yuanzhang said with his eyes brightening. Obviously, the view from the high platform is much better than now, and he can see more clearly.
Zhu Ying waved to the Qianhu in the rear, who immediately arranged for the flag soldiers to play the flag. After the flag soldiers waved the flag three times, a dozen shouts were heard from the square team at the same time: "All officers and soldiers, listen to the order and march together!"
The entire Fourteenth Squadron began to move.
Even though he had been shocked just now, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be a little amazed when he saw it now.
This kind of elegant and majestic pace attracted Zhu Yuanzhang's deep love at just one glance.
On the high platform, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying looked at the square soldiers taking turns passing by in front of them.
When each square trooper passed by the high platform, he would look sideways at the high platform and shout loudly at the same time:
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live the Ming Empire!"
Along with the long shouts that came and went like a wave, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that something that had been sealed for a long time broke open in vain and quickly took root.
When such an army appears on the battlefield, the enemy will be frightened without hesitation and lose all morale.
Zhu Yuanzhang had been fighting against this strong sense of oppression for almost his whole life. He really couldn't imagine any army that could contend with it.
Even after the military parade, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the tiger chair in the military camp meeting, still thinking about it.
"Da Sun gave them a title." Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and couldn't help asking Da Sun sitting next to him.
"It hasn't been officially issued yet, but my grandson already has an idea in his mind, Xuan Jia Wei, what do you think, grandpa?" Zhu Ying replied.
"What a good name..." Thinking of the black trend just now, Zhu Yuanzhang said in admiration, and then asked:
"Tell us in detail how Grand Sun trained such soldiers. I think that even when Meng Yuan was at its most glorious, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to train such soldiers." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
Zhu Ying replied with some embarrassment: "Grandpa, don't think too highly of yourself. Although it looks extremely scary, in reality it can only be practiced for more than ten days. If we really want to fight, the combat power may not be very high."
improvement.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "My grandson doesn't understand. When two armies are fighting, morale comes first. The soldiers under such a military appearance must be timid no matter what the enemy sees. Even if there are ten
The force can be released at most five points."
"My grandson has forgotten the most fundamental thing. To be able to achieve such unity of action, military discipline is extremely strict. The soldiers will never disobey orders, and the combat effectiveness itself will never be low."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying smiled. These soldiers were trained by him personally. How could he not know that he was just borrowing the words of the old man?
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw his grandson looking like this, he suddenly understood and burst into laughter.
"Well, your eldest grandson, you still want to flatter me, but where did your eldest grandson learn this training method? We have read a lot of military books, but I have never heard of someone who can train such soldiers.
."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some confusion.
As an emperor, he couldn't get hold of any books, let alone someone like Zhu Yuanzhang who was very interested in fighting. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Yuanzhang had read through almost all military books.
"To be honest, grandpa, my grandson didn't read this kind of training method from military books, but learned it himself. This time I just tried to practice it, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good."
Zhu Ying said without blushing or heart beating.
Anyway, as far as the current Ming Dynasty is concerned, and even the whole world, there is no such way of walking in goose steps. Even the most beautiful goose steps in later generations have been continuously improved.
Zhu Ying is equivalent to directly transferring the wisdom crystallized after countless people's research and using it.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes were full of admiration. Although he had some suspicions about it, Zhu Yuanzhang was still surprised when the great sun himself admitted it.
There were really too many surprises given to him by Da Sun, so many that even Zhu Yuanzhang himself felt that he was better than his predecessor.
"Where did the great sun come from when he came up with this kind of training method?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
Zhu Ying had already been confident about this. After hearing this, he did not hesitate and said directly:
"My grandson observes that in ancient times, the pre-Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world, and only then did China become what it is today. Among them, the Qin army with black clothes and black armor was invincible in every battle and invincible in every attack. My grandson is very yearning for it."
"The Qin army enforced the law strictly, and the military discipline was extremely strict. All the soldiers went to death, and no one under the Qin cavalry refused to obey."
"My grandson often thinks hard about why the Qin soldiers are so powerful and how they can train such powerful soldiers against you."
"So my grandson began to analyze the reasons from various aspects. At first, the Qin Dynasty only had a population of 5 million people, but it had an army of 500,000. After unifying the six kingdoms, it had a population of more than 20 million people and a million lions."
"The millions of lions in the Qin Dynasty are completely different from the millions of lions in the Ming Dynasty. My grandson is either belittling the Ming Dynasty, or it is because today's Ming Dynasty is facing off against the former Qin Dynasty. Even with the advantage of firearms, there is no guarantee of victory.
"
"We have millions of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty. They follow the farming system of the Han Dynasty. They keep soldiers on the farm, farm in peacetime, and go to war in time of war."
"Qin is different. All Qin soldiers are soldiers for life. They train every day and can go to war at any time."
"The training of the square step is derived from Sun's thinking and research in order to train soldiers to obey military orders. The most indispensable one is the uninterrupted daily training."
Having said this, Zhu Ying took out a piece of white paper filled with articles of association from the desk in front of the old man and showed it to the old man.
Zhu Yuanzhang cast his eyes and watched carefully.
What is written on this is exactly about the control of the content and time of the soldiers' training every day.
There are extremely strict arrangements from when you wake up in the morning, to breakfast, lunch, dinner, rest time, and receiving instruction from teachers in the evening.
This means that for twelve days, all the soldiers Zhu Yuanzhang saw just now have been repeating this drill every day.
"My grandson asked the doctor that two meals a day are not enough to ensure the soldiers' consumption. Such a heavy training content requires three meals a day." Zhu Ying explained at the side.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and did not ask Dasun how much food it would cost to train like this. With such soldiers, it would not matter if it cost more money and food.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, the current five thousand soldiers have a great chance of winning even if they face 50,000 soldiers.
"It's a pity that our Ming Dynasty is currently experiencing constant natural disasters and food shortages. If there is enough food, why not worry about being unable to conquer the former territory." Zhu Yuanzhang said with some disappointment.
The chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was caused by constant famines. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has been confronting these famines.
This was also one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang recognized the Mongolian and Yuan orthodoxy. Unfortunately, due to constant famines, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been restrained.
Otherwise, the territory of the Ming Empire would probably be much larger by now. In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, the territory once ruled by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Tracing back to its roots, the Ming Dynasty had the right to rule all the lands once conquered by the Mongol Empire.
These words made Zhu Ying couldn't help but look at the old man. In fact, in Zhu Ying's heart, the old man now was more like an old man who guarded the house. Everything he did and thought was for the stable development of the family.
But this sentence made Zhu Ying see another side of the old man, a man who once had great ambitions and conquered the world.
"Grandpa, don't worry. My grandson got the news yesterday. The sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other crops that I told grandpa have arrived at the capital and will arrive in the capital tomorrow."
"There is also a crop called rye. My grandson also grows it in the Western Regions. Even in cold weather, rye can grow tenaciously, and its yield is not much higher than that of rice and wheat."
Zhu Ying said with a smile, showing her white teeth.
"Okay, tomorrow we will go with Da Sun to see how these crops are doing. If it is true as we said to Da Sun, the people of the entire Ming Dynasty will be grateful to Da Sun."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he said immediately.
At this moment, what Zhu Yuanzhang was actually thinking about was to take this opportunity to publicize Dasun's reputation so that all those who could survive because of these crops would be grateful to Dasun.
At that time, it will be destiny and the will of the people for the grandson to inherit the throne. No one can stop him or even slander and spread rumors about his identity.
The promotion of these crops should be the most urgent issue at present. Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to see that in the Ming Dynasty two or three years later, most people would survive because of this.
With enough food, the Ming Dynasty's army could free up its hands and sort out the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang believed that with his great grandson constantly training soldiers like today, it would be absolutely easy to suppress the rebellion.
By that time, the Ming Dynasty should also inherit the gifts left by the entire Mongol Empire.
