Wang Yangming, who took a step back and sat down, was thinking about which outstanding generals there were in the Ming Army who could build a military soul army.
After all, according to what Crow Heavenly Man said, a large army does not need to be elite to become a military spirit army, but only when it has an extremely outstanding general as its core can it hope to become a military spirit army.
Even military spirit legions are divided into strengths and weaknesses. Maybe because of his own abilities, a general can command thousands or tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at most even if he becomes a military spirit legion. This means that this army
The only power that the Army Soul Legion can gather is the strength of these tens of thousands of people.
Similarly, if a talented general gathers a military spirit army, he can command tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of elite troops. In this case, the power that such a military spirit army can gather can only be imagined.
And know it.
This is also why when Crow Heavenly Mentioned the Army Soul Legion before, some of the military spirit legions he described could only kill Heavenly Beings, but some could suppress powerful people at the level of Heavenly Masters and even Heavenly Lords.
In other words, a general's ability to lead an army of military souls depends not only on chance, but also on the general's own abilities.
It is conceivable that a mediocre general may never be able to lead an army of military souls in his lifetime.
Zhu Houzhao's goal was indeed very great. He even thought that all the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty were composed of military spirit legions. Based on the size of the Ming Dynasty's current army of almost one million, and then averaged the number of those military spirit legions, that is
In other words, if all the millions of armies of the Ming Dynasty were replaced by military spirit legions, then the Ming Dynasty would have at least hundreds of military spirit legions.
But the military soul army is not a big deal, and no one can gather military souls just because they want to. Even the Scarlet Fire Dynasty only has one military soul army. It is as powerful as the Yingyue Sect that governs many dynasties. One dynasty can
There are only a dozen military soul legions available.
A dozen military soul legions do seem to be a lot, but if they are dispersed among so many dynasties, even one dynasty is not enough to have one military soul legion.
This shows how difficult it is to realize Zhu Houzhao's ideal.
As one of the representatives of the military, Cheng Xiangwu can be said to be a fierce general. At this moment, he seemed to notice Wang Yangming's eyes falling on him.
Cheng Xiangwu couldn't help but grinned and said: "Dong An Guo, don't stare at Lao Cheng. The look in your eyes makes me panic."
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed as Cheng Xiangwu opened his mouth.
Yang Yiqing stroked his beard and glanced at Wang Yangming and said, "Does Wang Shangshu want General Cheng to train a military soul army?"
Wang Yangming smiled slightly and just looked at Cheng Xiangwu: "Does it mean that General Cheng has no confidence in his abilities?"
Cheng Xiangwu was able to become a military boss, and he was obviously no ordinary figure. Although he took advantage of Chu Yi to a certain extent and was loyal enough to reach his current position, if he did not have enough
In terms of ability, even if Chu Yi wants to be promoted, it will be impossible to support the wall.
At this moment, being provoked by Wang Yangming in front of the emperor and so many colleagues, Cheng Xiangwu stood up immediately, opened his eyes wide and shouted: "How is it possible? I don't believe that Old Cheng can't bring out a military spirit."
Legion comes out."
However, Cheng Xiangwu, who quickly regained some sense, glanced at Wang Yangming resentfully and said: "Wang Shangshu, Crow Heavenly Man also said that whether you can become a military soul legion depends on the legion commander's own ability on the one hand, and on the other hand
It also depends on the opportunity. There is definitely no problem with my ability, Lao Cheng, but who can guarantee this opportunity?"
Seeing that Cheng Xiangwu had already thought of a way out before he started, Chu Yi, who was sitting there, couldn't help but smiled and shook his head. Cheng Xiangwu didn't have such a temper back then, but he didn't expect that his true nature has been revealed in these years.
A lot.
Even Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mr. Cheng Guo can just go train his troops. As for success or failure, it depends on God's will. I have countless good generals under my command. Isn't it true that I can't train a few military spirit regiments?"
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao turned to Chu Yi, who was sitting beside him, and said, "What do you think, Daban?"
With a slight cough, Chu Yi glanced at everyone present, and finally said to Wang Yangming: "According to Chu's opinion, if Wang Shangshu personally leads the army, it may not be impossible to train a military soul army."
Hearing what Chu Yi said, everyone couldn't help but froze for a moment, subconsciously shook their heads and looked towards Wang Yangming. Obviously everyone didn't believe it, but everyone reacted immediately.
They forget that Wang Yangming is not just a scholar like the previous Ministers of the Ministry of War. He, the Minister of the Ministry of War, can be said to be both civil and military. He even put down the rebellion of King Ning with his own power. When it comes to commanding troops and governing
Among the many generals of the Ming Dynasty, how many of them dare to say that Wang Yangming is as powerful as his soldiers and even his ability to train troops?
Stroking his beard, Wang Yangming smiled slightly and nodded: "What His Highness said is true, and Wang has exactly what he meant."
Many people showed surprised looks, obviously they did not expect that Wang Yangming actually planned to train a military soul army. When they thought that Wang Yangming, a literary sage of the generation, actually wanted to train soldiers, all the ministers subconsciously wanted to
Open your mouth to persuade.
But at this moment Chu Yi smiled and said: "If you have this intention, then our Ming Dynasty's first military soul army will be just around the corner!"
When Chu Yi opened his mouth like this, several cabinet elders who had just wanted to persuade Wang Yangming suddenly shut up. Even Chu Yi had said this. If they opened their mouths to persuade Wang Yangming again, wouldn't they want to slap Chu Yi in the face?
To be honest, even Zhu Houzhaozi was stunned for a moment when Chu Yi asked Wang Yangming to train troops. Now when he saw what Chu Yi said, he couldn't help but said: "The eldest companion has always known how to recognize people, and what he said will be correct. Since the eldest companion said that Duke An Guo
If you can train a military soul army for our great Ming Dynasty, then An Guogong will definitely be able to do it."
Seeing Zhu Houzhao treating Chu Yi like this, all the ministers in the cabinet couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly. Didn't you see what General Dangmo said? If you want to train a military soul army, it not only depends on the ability of the coach, but more importantly, luck.
, if you have the ability, if you don’t have luck, it will be in vain.
However, everyone could not imagine that the reason why Chu Yi was so sure that Wang Yangming could train a military soul army was because Chu Yi knew Wang Yangming's own abilities very well.
China has thousands of years of history, and there are only a few people who can be called saints and have their names left in history. Wang Yangming is one of them. His ability and destiny can be imagined. If Wang Yangming can be called a glorious history book
If the sages and sages cannot do this, then who in the Ming Dynasty can do it.
Wang Yangming looked at Chu Yi and said with a smile: "I wonder if the Chief Manager has anyone to recommend?"
Chu Yi just pondered for a moment and then said solemnly: "If there are any generals in the Ming Army who have the hope of leading the Army Soul Legion, in Chu's opinion, there are really only a few of them."
In fact, after everyone knew how difficult it was to create a military soul legion and the number of military soul legions that each country had, they didn't have much hope in whether Ming Dynasty could train a few military soul legions. But at this moment, Chu Yi first clicked.
He asked Wang Yangming and said that there were people in the Ming army who had such abilities. How could this not make everyone curious?
"Hey, is there such a person in our Ming army?"
It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao, who was full of confidence just now, actually has no confidence in his heart. Now he is also looking at Chu Yi with great curiosity.
Chu Yi still has some understanding of the current situation in the Ming army. Many of the generals he was familiar with in the past have either died on the battlefield or have grown old silently. There are not many generals he is familiar with in the army, but there are a few familiar names.
Appear.
"Qi Jiguang, the Marquis of Zhenhai, Yu Dayou, the Marquis of Dinghai"
The two names spoken by Chu Yi were familiar to everyone present. After Chu Yi left, Zhu Houzhao sent out large armies to fight abroad to find Chu Yi's whereabouts. A large number of generals stood out from then on, and among them
The most eye-catching ones are Qi Jiguang, the Marquis of Zhenhai, and Yu Dayou, the Marquis of Dinghai, who were awarded the title of Marquis for their military merits.
Both of them can be said to be talented generals of a generation. They may be inferior to figures like Xu Da at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, but it is undeniable that they are definitely among the most capable people in commanding the army of the Ming Dynasty today.
one.
Hearing Chu Yi mention the names of these two people, Wang Yangming, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, was naturally very familiar with the generals in the Ming army. His eyes lit up and he laughed loudly: "I never thought that Your Highness also knew these two people, Yu Dayou and Qi."
Ji Guang and the two are known as Yu Long and Qi Hu in the army, and Wang also believes that they are the most promising to train a military soul army for our Ming Dynasty."
Chu Yi smiled. Back then, Zhu Houzhao went crazy and used troops abroad. At that time, anyone who was in the military and had ability would definitely stand out. Obviously, this was the case with Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou.
Yu Dayou already held the position of general under him, and Qi Jiguang was just a baby when he left, but the two still became the most dazzling presence in the army.
Only to hear Chu Yi continue: "In addition to Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Yang Wenguang, Mu Guiying, and Zhong Shidao also hope to train a military soul army."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he couldn't help but said with a bit of excitement: "Yeah, why have I forgotten these people? I don't believe it if Yue Wumu and Han Zhongwu can't train a military soul army."
It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao is very happy. After all, Zhu Houzhao himself had no hope after hearing what General Crow Celestial Soul Corps said before. However, now that Zhu Houzhao heard the candidates mentioned by Chu Yi, he felt that if the Ming Dynasty
It would be strange to not be able to train a few military spirit armies.
