The five hundred soldiers under the stage stood in a neat square formation. They were all full of energy, and they could be identified as elite soldiers at a glance. These people have been informed that they will join the new army formed by Zhongxing Hou.
Zhong Jinwei slowly glanced at all the soldiers below, saw a trace of expectation in their eyes, nodded secretly, and then asked loudly: "You are elites, that's for sure. But if you are sent to fight the Jianlu, I'm sure you can
Will you win?"
In the words of later generations, these soldiers can be regarded as kings of soldiers. If they were allowed to fight against a single prisoner one-on-one, maybe these people would have confidence.
But now Zhongxing Hou said that he would send them to fight against the rebels, which would be a group battle. Now, they no longer have confidence, because they have lost the confidence after repeated defeats.
For a moment, everyone was silent, and their spirits seemed to be worse than before.
Zhong Jinwei did not wait for their firm and powerful affirmations. He sighed in his heart. He couldn't brag in front of the leaders. At least he had to show determination and confidence.
Just like in later generations, when the leader says something, they should also say: "Guarantee to complete the task." As for whether the task can be completed in the end, that is another matter.
"I know that there are many reasons why the Ming Dynasty lost more battles against the captives, and we cannot all blame it on you. But as long as we, the Ming Dynasty, take the establishment of the captives seriously and work together, just like the Battle of Gyeonggi, the slave chiefs will be slaughtered alive.
What will happen to you in the capital!"
Zhong Jinwei's voice was loud and firm, with a sense of heroism. The five hundred soldiers below were reminded of the achievements of the Marquis Zhongxing in front of them, and they felt that what the Marquis Zhongxing said was very reasonable.
Many soldiers who had lowered their heads just now raised their heads and looked at Zhong Jinwei, with a hint of desire for victory in their eyes.
"You are the elites selected from more than 45,000 elites. I believe that with Marshal Qi training you, you will be able to defeat Jianlu."
When Zhong Jinwei said this, he paused and asked them to imagine the scene where Qi Jiguang led them to kill Jianlu.
What he meant was that it was not necessarily true for people other than Qi Jiguang.
The generals behind Zhong Jinwei were naturally convinced when they saw Zhongxing Hou carrying out the God of War Qi Jiguang, otherwise it would be an insult to them, although in fact their performance would not be very good.
Unexpectedly, what Zhongxing Hou said next would surprise them, if they had glasses.
"After Marshal Qi has trained you, you will fight the Jianlu. Although you can win the battle, it will still cause you a lot of casualties. But if I train you, I will definitely be better than Marshal Qi, and your mortality rate will be far reduced.
"Zhong Jinwei said this without blushing at all.
It was obvious that neither the five hundred soldiers below nor the generals behind him believed it.
You, Marquis Zhongxing, captured the slave chief alive, but for experts like them, they all know that the battle was somewhat tricky.
To say that Marquis Zhongxing is much more powerful than those of them. But to compare with Dashuai Qi, how is it possible? After all, Dashuai Qi gained a reputation based on a lot of great victories, while you, Marquis Zhongxing, are just one victory.
Zhong Jinwei naturally knew what they were thinking, and he didn't care. He still said what he said loudly: "Don't believe it? Yes, you lack a kind of self-confidence! Jianlu is a human being, Marshal Qi is a human being, are you not a human being? They
If you are a man, you will lose two balls and you will no longer be a man?"
These words were serious, arousing the anger of these people, and at the same time giving them a wake-up call. Am I really not as good as Jianlu?
Everyone does not feel that they are bad, they are all a little self-righteous and feel that they are great. It is just that some people have experienced failure or were dazzled by the brilliance of others, and they hide this self-awareness deep in their hearts.
Now their understanding was stimulated by Zhong Jinwei, and they looked at Zhong Jinwei with anger.
"If you admit that you are not good, you can't do what others can do. Then stand up as soon as possible and don't waste your spot." Zhong Jinwei said this, pointed at the soldiers below, and asked loudly, "You,
You, or you?"
At this time, even if someone still lacks self-confidence, they will not stand up and say that they are not good in front of everyone.
Zhong Jinwei waited for a while, but still no one came forward. Feeling slightly satisfied, he softened his tone and said: "Well done, you are worthy of being selected from more than 45,000 elites. You will be the first of the Ming Dynasty's new army."
A batch of seeds, a few years later, you will be proud of it!"
Listening to what Zhongxing Hou said, everyone became very curious about the new army of the Ming Dynasty he mentioned. Is it different from the previous armies?
"The intensity of your training will be much greater than before, and it will not be interrupted no matter it is windy, rainy or sunny."
Zhong Jinwei's words did not surprise them at all, because the training of Marshal Qi that Zhong Jinwei mentioned just now was almost the same. Where is the new army, and it can't be just this? At this time, many soldiers had this question in their hearts.
"Practice for at least six hours every day, and you may have to practice at night." Zhong Jinwei's words knocked them down. It turned out that Zhongxing Hou said that the training intensity was much more intense, but it was so ridiculously intense.
You must know that they usually only exercise once every three days. If you want to follow the intensity mentioned by Zhongxing Hou, it will be many times greater. It is simply eighteen levels of hell-style training.
"But don't worry, you'll have enough to eat, and you'll have a big piece of fat with every meal. On the day you complete the training, your military pay will be doubled."
These soldiers were formerly part of the Fifth Military Battalion in the Beijing Camp. They had just been established, and everyone from the soldiers to the generals were new people. Therefore, some things like withholding military pay have not happened yet, and they will not go hungry.
But to say that every meal includes a large piece of fat meat is a treatment that can only be experienced in dreams. Now after hearing what Zhongxing Hou said, many soldiers tended to have drool at the corners of their mouths.
What's more, there is also the expectation of doubling the military pay. These soldiers became excited just thinking about it. Isn't it just training? It doesn't matter. Practice to death.
"Your military uniforms, etiquette, etc. will be brand new, your training will be brand new, everything will be brand new."
When some soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but murmured in their hearts, Zhongxing Hou, Zhongxing Hou, what kind of new army is he? Can you stop being so tantalizing and tell the truth first?
It is Zhong Jinwei's habit to whet people's appetites. Not to mention their soldiers, even civil and military officials, and even in front of the emperor, Zhong Jinwei often uses this kind of appetizing way of speaking.
He continued to explain the new army there: "The lieutenant general of the new army will set up a brand-new position, which will be held by the Jinyi Guards School Lieutenant. If you have anything you don't understand or have any other problems, you can come to them. Even if they are there during your training,
I will also teach you how to read. In addition, your military exploits need to be recognized by them, and your promotion needs their endorsement to be effective."
Not only had the soldiers never heard of this, but even the generals looked at the back of Marquis Zhongxing in surprise. They couldn't help but wonder, what kind of army could Marquis Zhongxing be?
"The concept of building a new army..." When Zhong Jinwei said this, his old habit recurred. He stopped at the critical moment and looked at the pairs of eyes below that were full of curiosity aroused by him before continuing.
