Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 216 The Cement Made Great Contributions (Unedited)
You can see the majestic city wall of Yinaiji less than 30 miles away from Xifengkou. Because it is so close to Xifengkou, this place has always been a battleground for military strategists.

If you can occupy Yi Nai Ji, you can advance, attack, retreat, and defend, and there will be great economic benefits.

Yinaiji can be developed as a commodity distribution center, coupled with the advantages of being close to water sources and having a unique geographical location.

Daming absolutely cannot give up Yi Naiji, and for the same reason, Bei Yuan naturally cannot give up easily.

This is also why Wang Baobao finally made up his mind to gather a heavy army and must take down Yi Naiji, not only because of face, but also because of the overall situation.

People and horses from both sides gathered here, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the food and grass went first.

The first thing to prepare is naturally all kinds of weapons, armor, food, horses and so on.

From inside and outside the Great Wall, a formation like a long snake was lined up, all of which were transported non-stop by civilian husbands.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang loves the people like his son, not everything in war can be humanized.

Every civilian husband has his own task, how long does it take to deliver the materials to where, and it is normal for one person to carry a thing weighing 10 catties for [-] miles, and it is normal to walk for a day.

This is why on the battlefield, there are always people who are exhausted on the road one by one, and that's the reason.

Those with a little less physical strength, how can they run down?

Wang Erhu was one of the civilian husbands recruited by Ming Dynasty.

The original name of Wang Erhu was Wang Chuer. After all, when the Yuan Dynasty ruled, the Han people had no right to choose a name.

What's more, ordinary people don't have the culture and money to name their children.

Simply use the date to name your child. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's original name was Zhu Chongba, and his elder brother was Zhu Twelve, Zhu Laoliu, and so on.

However, when the Ming Dynasty ruled, Chinese orthodoxy returned, and the common people naturally began to name according to the rules.

However, Wang Erhu's family doesn't have a family tree, and he doesn't even know his clan affiliation.

There is no requirement for a name, so I simply call it Erhu.

Although Wang Erhu is not a military household at a young age, he is still very strong.

After a few days in a row, even civilian husbands have carried more than others, so their performance is naturally very superior.

Their captain also likes Wang Erhu very much.

The two were originally from the same hometown, and his father had given money to the captain, so I trouble the captain to take care of Wang Erhu on the road.

So the captain took this opportunity to recommend Wang Erhu upwards.

It would be a great thing for their family if they could have the opportunity to be incorporated into the regular army, and they could also prove one or two military merits.

After all, at this time in the year of Hongwu, those who could serve as soldiers were all related to military households, and the image of military households is now similar to a small nobleman.

If you can become a military household, you will not only have bigger fields, but also more benefits.

At this time, the welfare of military households is still very good, after all, they all work for Daming.

It was only in the middle and late Ming Dynasty that the military household system slowly began to collapse.

There is no mention of giving various benefits. In terms of system, benefits naturally still exist, but in practice, the money and food have been embezzled by the first-tier officers in charge of the soldiers.

The so-called empty pay, large occupation of military land, stealing military rations and other such things are really not uncommon.

This is also the reason why a large number of refugees appeared later.

Not only the fields of ordinary people were occupied by nobles, but those of soldiers were also occupied by officers.

Those military households have no money, and they have to hand over money and food to the officers and the country every month.

How could they stand there waiting to die?
The only way out is to leave their homeland and find their own way out.

This is why so many people become refugees.

And when there are more refugees, it will naturally have a very turbulent impact on society.

As long as there is one person who raises his arms and shouts, those who can't survive will naturally follow.

Since the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's saying that princes, generals and relatives are kind is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Rebellion has always been the best choice for ordinary people who can't survive. Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang also start from rebellion?

Of course, there is no possibility of rebellion now.

Daming is still thriving. With Zhu Yuanzhang at the helm, the people below dare not go too far.

At least in the early years of Hongwu, enclosing land was unrealistic. Even if those nobles dared to enclose land, they would die.

Because of this, common people still think military households are very good.

Although it is necessary to fight on the battlefield together, the average age is only in the early 30s these days.

You said that you live a lifetime, isn't it just for your own children to have a better future?

If serving as a soldier can have enough food and clothing and a chance to be a nobleman, then who would not do it?
At least it's easier than studying, those ordinary people think so.

This is also why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to have a steady stream of soldiers to replenish, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world, so what is the hearts of the people?

People's hearts are money, food and drink, and people can live with dignity. This is the people's hearts, and this is the truth.

Because of his outstanding performance, Wang Erhu was soon recommended by fellow villagers,

Then he went to the front army to serve as a soldier. Naturally, if he became a soldier, his household registration would also have to be converted to military household registration. Fortunately, the procedures are not very troublesome.

This Wang Erhu had no experience as a soldier before, and now the supply of soldiers is also tight. Facing Beiyuan's 10 army, Yi Naiji only gathered 5,

Naturally, if there is anything that can be used by the Ming army, it will be used quickly.

Not to mention the training. Although Wang Erhu is often very energetic on weekdays, he doesn't know anything about wielding knives and guns, obeying orders, forming an army, and so on.

Fortunately, there is a new method of training soldiers. Liao King Zhu Qi's military training method has been proved to be very powerful.

And most of the generals gave thumbs up and praised after using it.

Zhu Qi's military training method, the most important thing is to enforce orders and prohibit and enhance the collective sense of honor.

This is something that cannot be achieved in the military training methods of the Ming Dynasty, especially the sense of collective honor.

If a soldier has no honor at all, then naturally he has no motivation to become stronger.

At least Wang Erhu, a new recruit, had no honor to speak of when he first joined the army.

His only idea is to get more money, and when he becomes a military household in the future, his son can also have this iron rice bowl.

But after staying in the barracks for two weeks, after a series of training, not only obeying the instructions, knowing the army flag and other things.

The most important thing is to sit together by the bonfire at night and chat with everyone.

Listening to those seniors sharing their battle stories, and the fearless spirit of dedicating themselves for Daming.

Loyalty and His Royal Highness Liao's unchanging thoughts, etc., these things are very easy to influence others when there are many people, let alone this purposeful one.

A few days after Wang Erhu participated in the bonfire party, the idea that he must fight the enemy bravely, serve the country, and be loyal to His Royal Highness Liao Wang had already formed in his mind.

Although this idea is not particularly strong, but at least a seed has been planted,

After it is postponed in the future, I believe that Wang Erhu can also become the kind of hero who stands up at critical moments, does not hesitate to believe in his life, and wants to defend his family and country, and the Chinese nation has never lacked such heroes.

In addition to political education, physical and military training will naturally not be left behind, and the one who trains them is General Li Jinglong who has followed His Royal Highness King Liao all year round.

But now Li Jinglong is no longer as immature as before.

The 22-year-old Li Jinglong has initially possessed the demeanor of a general, at least in terms of appearance and prestige.

However, only Zhu Qi knew clearly that Li Jinglong might carry the malice of this era.

You can ask him to do anything, but you must never lead troops out to fight. Li Jinglong has never won in history.

However, it is still very reliable to engage in theoretical knowledge research and military training.

Many of Zhu Qi's soldiers and horses before were trained by Li Jinglong himself, but the facts have proved that the soldiers trained by Li Jinglong are still very capable of fighting, and they are also very powerful in terms of loyalty.

And those recruits also respect General Li Jinglong very much.

At least Wang Erhu is like this, looking at General Li Jinglong wearing a general robe, Wang Erhu is always very envious.

And looking forward to one day I can become such a powerful general, how wonderful it would be.

Of course, Li Jinglong's training methods need not be mentioned too much. In just one month, recruits like Wang Erhu who have just joined the army have mastered the advancement of the army formation, and how to distinguish various slogans.

However, no matter how rich the theoretical knowledge is, it still needs to be put into practice. Fortunately, Wang Erhu and the others will soon have the opportunity to practice.

Since the Northern Yuan Wang Baobao gathered 10 troops to Yi Naiji, he naturally did not come down to the city for sightseeing, and soon they were ready to launch an attack.

And this time the general who led the army was Wang Baobao himself.

Apparently, Wang Baobao also planned to take back Yi Nai Ji himself, which frustrated Daming's spirit.

Naturally, Wang Baobao cannot be compared with such stupid generals as Nahachu.

Wang Baobao had already made a plan before he came. He ordered his troops to march to Yi Naiji within ten days.

There is no other reason, it is because he knows that Liao King Zhu Qi has already used a very special method to blow down the city wall of Yi Naiji.

At this time, the city wall of Yinaiji is naturally still in a state of collapse, and it is impossible to recover so quickly.
Even if a large number of civilians are recruited to repair the city wall, it will not happen overnight.

Therefore, when the urban and rural areas have not been repaired, this is the best time to attack. You must know that without the defense of the city wall, there is no danger to defend this city.

Wang Baobao's thinking is very correct, and in fact his strategy is also very clear, as long as there are no mistakes.

But the question is how could this error not happen?
As for Liao King Zhu Qi, there were always many uncertain factors, such as cement, Wang Baobao didn't know at all.

Then how could Zhu Qi, the king of Liao Dynasty, arrange for the peasants to slowly build the wall with the wall and start pouring it with cement.

After the cement was poured in, it took three days for it to solidify, and its hardness was no worse than those of bricks.

So when Wang Baobao led the army to the city of Yi Nai Ji and saw the restored city wall of Yi Nai Ji, it can be said that the whole person was already stupid.

How could he know what method the Liao King Zhu used to repair the city wall?

But in any case, this miraculous thing did happen before my eyes, and there is no doubt about it.

However, Wang Baobao immediately ordered the army under him to bite the bullet and start attacking the city.

How could such a great opportunity be missed?
Even if the city wall is repaired, it's probably just a tofu project, just to look better, and it may be broken by just hitting it twice, or maybe.

Indeed, if it was someone else, it must be what Wang Baobao thought.

But it's a pity that it's not someone else who built the city wall, but Zhu Qi, who has black technology. Under the condition of solid cement, the city wall is of course indestructible.

So when those people from Beiyuan launched an attack on Chen Qiang, they were completely dumbfounded when they saw the catapults throwing huge stones on the city wall, but they didn't react at all.

Didn't it be agreed before that the city wall was blown up by Liao King Zhu Qi?Why does it seem to be very strong now?Doesn't it look damaged?Was this really done before?
Not to mention that these soldiers couldn't understand, even Nahachu had a confused expression on his face, and Wang Baobao's face was already very ugly, Nahachu hurriedly explained:

"Prime Minister, I did see that the city wall was blown down earlier, why is it intact now?"

Wang Baobao also didn't speak, but the deputy general next to him said with a smile:

"General, I'm afraid that you were frightened by the Liao king Zhu Qi before, and you have some hallucinations?"

After the man finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.

Although Nahachu is very powerful and prestige in Liao.

But on the grassland, it doesn't necessarily have much prestige.

Those deputy generals before were all veterans from the grassland.

And they didn't fight Liao Wang Zhu Qi too much. Nahachu had been held down by Zhu Qi, a young man, and suffered a lot of defeats during this time.

Naturally, they didn't take Naha Chu in their eyes, and felt somewhat contemptuous in their hearts.

At this time, when Naha came out, his face turned red and white.

Of course he also knew how those generals viewed him. If he didn't stand up at this time and make some gestures and stances, he would be looked down upon for the rest of his life.

Nahachu immediately stood up and shouted loudly:
"Prime Minister, I am willing to win Yi Nai Ji for the vanguard!"
