His eyes fell on Wang Yangming, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand towards Wang Yangming and said: "Dong An, I will entrust you with this matter. You must select the most elite soldiers for me. I believe that these generals who are favored by the great companion will definitely
You will not let me and you down."
Wang Yangming nodded slightly. To be honest, Wang Yangming was very confident. Since there are military soul legions in this world, he did not believe that Ming Dynasty would not be able to train a few military soul legions.
He didn't know about the others, and maybe he didn't dare to say anything, but if he had to say that he wasn't sure, if he, Wang Yangming, didn't even have this little bit of confidence, he wouldn't have been able to make it all the way to where he is today.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Yangming's eyes flashed with confidence, and he bowed his hands to the Emperor and Chu Yi and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, King Wu, just wait for the good news from me."
The elders on the side really didn't know what to say other than watching. After all, it's really hard for them as literati to interfere in such military matters.
But no matter what, any fool can see the importance of the Military Soul Legion to a dynasty. If a dynasty has more than a dozen extremely powerful Military Soul Legions, it is equivalent to adding more than a dozen powerful soldiers out of thin air.
existence.
In particular, the military spirit army can not only attack cities and territories, but also face strong men, which instantly makes the secular dynasty's army feel powerless when facing practitioners. This can be said to be the foundation of a secular dynasty.
After all, for some small dynasties, there may only be one or two heaven-level existences in the country to survive. If the country can train a few military soul legions, then the existence of the military soul legion will be no less than that of the country.
Artifacts are average.
As Zhu Houzhao's decree was issued, military orders were issued one after another to the Ming army, led by Wang Yangming himself.
Soon, millions of elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty received the news. After the reforms of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, coupled with many years of foreign campaigns, the Ming Dynasty army can be regarded as the elite among the elite.
Now after entering this world, after experiencing some disasters from ferocious beasts, the strength of the Ming Dynasty military has become more and more powerful, especially not long ago, Chu Yi spread the cultivation method to the army, and this side
The world has abundant vitality of heaven and earth, and it can be said that strong men in the army emerge in endlessly.
If in the past the acquired warriors in the army could be regarded as the backbone of the army, then now even the top-notch warriors may not be regarded as the backbone of the army. There are even a large number of innate strong men in the army.
The large number of innate-level strong men appearing in the army shows how good the overall environment of this world is. As long as there is a way to practice, you will definitely be able to gain something. As for how far you can go, it depends on your own destiny.
But one thing is certain, for ordinary people, as long as they have the method of cultivation, it is certainly not difficult to cultivate to the innate state.
Of course, the realm of innateness is also a threshold. According to the information Chu Yi and the others learned, the threshold of innateness can be said to be the boundary between cultivators and ordinary people. In other words, all beings under innateness are ordinary people, and only
Entering the innate realm can be regarded as reluctantly embarking on the path of cultivation.
It's a pity that in this world, practitioners have extremely tight control over the methods of cultivation. Even the crudest methods of cultivation are rarely spread among the people.
Everyone cherishes their brooms, and even if some people are lucky enough to get the method of cultivation, they will regard it as a family heirloom, and even pass it on from male to female, and from direct descendants to concubines. This makes this party obviously extremely powerful.
In this terrifying world with a high upper limit, ordinary people at the lowest level have no chance to obtain even the simplest and crudest cultivation techniques.
From this we can see the significance of Chu Yi's spreading of the practice method among the army. Even if the practice method passed on to the army is not very profound, it is still a method of practice after all.
With the method of cultivation, coupled with the cultivation environment that is countless times stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty, in just half a year, innate strong men were born in the Ming army in an endless stream, even thousands of them.
And if this trend continues, it will be very difficult for the Ming Dynasty's millions of elite troops to find an innate soldier among the Ming Dynasty army, unless they really have no talent for cultivation. It will take several years at most.
A large number of elite soldiers were selected and sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. A hundred thousand elite troops were mobilized, and the leaders of the legions were also selected.
The leaders of the first group of legions were those whom Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao and others had agreed upon in the Imperial Study Room.
Qi Jiguang, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Zhong Shidao, Yu Dayou, Mu Guiying, Yang Wenguang and many others. Each of these people can be said to be talented generals. Perhaps in comparison, they can be distinguished among them, but
Compared with many generals in the army, these people are definitely the top ones. Otherwise, Chu Yi and the others would not value them so much.
In less than half a month, several legions were formed, and the emperor even personally gave the legion battle flags.
Each legion was given a legion battle flag that symbolized the highest honor in the army, which shows how much the emperor valued it.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, when generals like Qi Jiguang and Yue Fei learned about the existence of the Military Soul Legion and the significance of the Military Soul Legion, they were naturally gearing up and full of confidence.
These people can stand out among many generals, and they can naturally be said to be outstanding figures of their era. It is obviously impossible for them to think that they are inferior to others.
Especially since they were specially selected by Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, this shows that in the eyes of Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao and others, they have the ability to train a military soul army. If in the end, among their group of commanders, others will
They have all trained the Military Soul Legion, but in the end, I am the only one who has not. Doesn’t that mean that I can’t compare to others?
Who hasn't felt a bit proud of being able to achieve the position of commander-in-chief of an army? To make them admit that they are inferior to others would be even harder than killing them.
Among the yamen of the Ministry of War, Wang Yangming, as a minister, occupies a high position. Below him are Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang and other newly appointed army commanders.
Wang Yangming looked at the people present with a smile and chuckled: "Everyone, His Majesty and King Wu are full of confidence in us, and even carefully selected elite soldiers for you from the army, so what will we do next?
Just to train a military soul army for Your Majesty and His Highness King Wu, do you have any difficulties?"
Stroking his beard, as a veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades and has spent his whole life in fighting, he has cultivated himself in the realm of heaven and man. He raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "It's just a military soul army."
That’s all, for Zhong, it’s just a piece of cake. Master Shangshu only assigned 10,000 people to Zhong, could it be that he underestimated Zhong?”
Master Zhong obviously also knows that the higher the cultivation level and the greater the number of the soldiers of the Army Soul Legion, the stronger the strength of the Army Soul Legion will naturally be, especially since he, the commander of the army, is a powerful man. If it is true,
If a military soul army of about 10,000 people can be trained, even if the soldiers only have the lowest innate cultivation level, under their leadership, they will be able to suppress a powerful Celestial Master.
Apparently Zhong Shidao felt that the number of soldiers allocated to him by the Ministry of War was too small. With his ability, even if there were several times more soldiers, he would still be able to command with sufficient confidence.
As soon as Zhong Shidao came out, several other people also turned their attention to Wang Yangming who was sitting there. Of all the people present, there was no one who was not a talented general who could command tens of thousands or even more armies.
Especially Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others, even though they had an army of 100,000, it wasn't because the commander didn't come, but this time they only had 10,000 soldiers.
Stroking his beard, Wang Yangming felt the eyes of everyone, smiled slightly and said: "It's not that Wang didn't send troops and horses to everyone, it's because the number of soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty is really limited, and these are carefully selected.
It can be said that it is quite difficult to recruit so many people for everyone in such a short period of time."
What Wang Yangming said is also true. In the hands of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, the Ming Dynasty implemented a policy of elite soldiers and strong generals, and even abolished all the former guards. Therefore, when Zhu Houzhao led the Ming Dynasty to ascend, the Ming Dynasty only had a hundred people.
Just about 10,000 soldiers and horses.
This time, a hundred thousand elites were carefully selected from a million-strong army, which already accounted for one-tenth of all the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty. It is not that they really refused to give people.
Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others naturally knew something about the situation of the Ming Dynasty's military, so they were not surprised that they were only allocated 10,000 troops. They would be surprised if tens of thousands of troops were given to them.
Woolen cloth.
On the contrary, Yue Fei and the others had just joined the Ming Dynasty and did not have a comprehensive understanding of the Ming Dynasty's military, so they felt a little confused when they were assigned tens of thousands of troops.
After listening to Wang Yangming's words, Zhong Shidao showed a look of understanding on his face, nodded slightly and said: "I see, but Zhong is being rude."
Wang Yangming smiled and said: "General Zhong has a straightforward temperament, so why would you say it is rude? Besides, His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Wu actually expected such a situation, so Your Majesty specially issued a decree that as long as the generals are willing, Your Majesty allows the generals to have
The maximum limit for the power to expand the army is 100,000. If you are confident enough in your ability to command the army, no matter how many more you have, as long as you ask His Majesty for instructions, you may not be unable to expand the army."
Hearing what Wang Yangming said, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up. Apparently they didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao actually gave them the right to expand the army, and the upper limit was still one hundred thousand.
You must know that among them, even if they are as confident as a master, they cannot guarantee that they can command an army of 100,000 people flawlessly and use their fingers like an arm.
Even throughout the ages, there are only a handful of commanders who can truly command an army of more than 100,000 people perfectly. No one present can guarantee that they can perfectly command an army of more than 100,000 people.
"Haha, if that's the case, I can rest assured. I will train the military spirit army first and then expand the army. I dare not say it will be more. I can still be somewhat sure of 30,000 to 50,000 people."
As he spoke, Zhong Shidao glanced at everyone present with a look of confidence on his face. Not to mention others, such as Yang Wenguang, who showed a bit of a wry smile.
Although the Yang family has been called generals in the past, compared to several of their ancestors, Yang Wenguang asked himself that his abilities were still inferior. It is important for a person to be self-aware. Give him an army of ten to twenty thousand, and he is confident that he can perfectly command it, but if there are more
, I'm afraid it's beyond his ability.
For example, Yue Fei, although he is considered the youngest among the generals, he is sitting there as calm as a mountain, with no trace of his talent as a famous commander.
Han Shizhong, who was sitting next to Yue Fei, glanced at Yue Fei. He was also working under Chu Yi back then, and in terms of his understanding of Yue Fei, there are probably not many people who can compare to Han Shizhong.
Although Han Shizhong and Yue Fei each commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer foreign countries, Han Shizhong knew very well that in terms of his ability to command the army, to be honest, he was really not as good as Yue Fei.
If he really wanted to command an army of hundreds of thousands by himself, he would really not be able to command it as he wished. Han Shizhong asked himself that his upper limit was only 30,000 to 50,000 troops, which might not be much better than Zhongshi Daolai.
But Yue Fei is different. In Han Shizhong's opinion, among the people present, if there is anyone who can command an army of 100,000 and condense the soul of the army to build a army of souls, no one else can do it except Yue Fei.
.
You must know that Lu Junyi had the experience of commanding hundreds of thousands of troops in foreign expeditions, but why Chu Yi did not name Lu Junyi to form the Army Soul Legion this time, in the final analysis, it was because Lu Junyi himself was not a commander.
In November of the first year of the Ming Dynasty, an urgent message came from the border to Beijing that there was a powerful enemy at the border and invaded the Ming Dynasty.
After the morning dynasty, the cabinet ministers, as well as many high-level military generals including the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army gathered in the palace.
The imperial study room was not large enough to accommodate dozens of people, so Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi held the gathering in a side hall next to the imperial study room.
The atmosphere in the main hall seemed very solemn. After all, the armies of various countries united by the Yingyue Sect appeared on the border of the Ming Dynasty. The pressure brought by millions of soldiers and horses can be imagined.
At this time, everyone's eyes fell on the immortal figure standing in the main hall. It was the ancestor Chen Tuan who was originally sent by Chu Yi to inquire about news from various countries.
Ancestor Chen Tuan stood in the main hall, with a somewhat solemn look on his face. Just looking at the expression on Ancestor Chen Tuan's face, one could tell that the invasion of the Ming Dynasty by the coalition forces was definitely not an easy matter. Otherwise, Ancestor Chen Tuan would have almost set foot on the Ming Dynasty.
Those who are in the realm of Heavenly Lord will not look so solemn anymore.
