Wanli 1592

Chapter 337 Goodbye Yuan Huang
After leaving the Siam Palace, Xiao Ruxun returned to the barracks, ate and lived with the soldiers, and stepped up training. King Naresuan was also racing against time to dispatch troops to deliver food and fodder to prepare for war against Burma. Also waiting for an important person to arrive.

Yuan Huang.

The cooperation with Yuan Huang in North Korea was very pleasant. Xiao Ruxun even felt that he might not be able to find another literati with strategy and real skills who could get along with Yuan Huang as well. Before leaving Beijing, he asked Song Yingchang and Shi Xing Helped to operate, and operated Yuan Huang to the Siam battlefield again as his praise painting. After a period of operation, when he arrived in Macau, the news of success came, and Yuan Huang had already sailed south by boat.

These few days were the days when Yuan Huang was scheduled to arrive, Xiao Ruxun was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally Yuan Huang was looking forward to it.

In Xiao Ruxun's plan, Yuan Huanghui is a very important part. He is a pragmatist and a man of action. His early sufferings and military career have brought him a temperament that is completely different from ordinary literati. He is knowledgeable. , Literary talent, but more courage and boldness.

The existence of Mr. Yuan Liaofan can help Xiao Ruxun handle many things that Xiao Ruxun is not good at. Although Xiao Ruxun has experience in civil affairs and military affairs, it is naturally good to have one more helper. When there is an urgent need for literati, Yuan Huang The appearance of the scorpion is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

He even thought about whether he could keep Yuan Huang by his side as his chief of staff after this battle, and develop and manage Nanyang together with him. With Yuan Huang's help, Xiao Ruxun's road would obviously be much easier.

Two days later, on July 21, the 23st year of Wanli, Yuan Huang arrived at the Ming army camp.

"Hahahahaha! Yuan Gong! Stay safe!"

Xiao Ruxun personally led people to meet him outside the camp, and seeing Yuan Huang's smile from afar, he went up to meet him.

"After finishing fighting the Japanese kingdom, I originally thought that I could resign for retirement. Who would have thought that I would be called by the Ministry of War after a few days of rest, saying that I was asked by the general to be transferred to serve in the army. I am still wondering which army it is Which general wants an old man like this old man to serve, and after asking, I know that my guess is right, it really is you! Xiao Jixin!"

Yuan Huang arched his hands, and what he said were words of reproach, but there was no sign of reproach on his face.

"Hahahaha! There are very few of the lords in the court who can get along well with this subordinate. Lord Ye Mengxiong is doing this for the logistics of the governor's three provinces. He can't trouble his old man to do this praise painting for him. Now, I can only ask Mr. Yuan to be troubled, and do another praise painting."

Saying that, Xiao Ruxun stretched out his hand and handed to Yuan Huang the mung bean soup with ice cubes that was held by the soldiers beside him.

"The heat in Siam is unbearable, Mr. Yuan, drink some mung bean soup! Cool down."

Yuan Huang took the mung bean soup, took a few sips, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's hot and stuffy at sea, and it's even more so here. Fortunately, I'm from the south. I've lived in the hot south for many years, so I'm used to the heat. It's just that I don't get used to it. It's you, Ji Xin, You’ve been in the cool place in the northwest for a long time, so you’re not used to it here?”

Yuan Huang looked at Xiao Ruxun for a while, then raised his head and poured mung bean soup vigorously.

"It is precisely because I am afraid that I will not get used to it, so these days I have been organizing soldiers to get up early in the morning for big training. They run around the barracks every day, sweating like they have been washed by water, and then bathe in hot water, and then put on clothes. Dry clothes, these days, none of the soldiers showed signs of acclimatization, although Yuan Gong has a strong body, he still runs and jumps with us and sweats a lot, and he can get used to the climate here as soon as possible."

Yuan Huang nodded and said with a smile: "That's right. Unaccustomed to the environment is a terrible thing. Ma Yuan died on it back then. Ji Xin's move is indeed correct. As long as the army maintains its fighting power, no one will be afraid. As for the old man, although he is old, he still insists on dancing swords and boxing every day, otherwise, how do you think this 60-year-old man is following you, a young man in his 20s, tossing around?"

"Duke Yuan is mighty!"

Xiao Ruxun couldn't stop laughing.

"Hahahahaha!"

Yuan Huang also laughed for a while, and then the old and the young went to the Ming army barracks together.

Before arriving at the barracks, Yuan Huang saw groups of soldiers forming formations for exercises outside the barracks. Not only that, he also saw gunmen lined up with guns, marching forward row after row, shouting slogans loudly, Yuan Huang looked up at the sky and found that it was almost noon.

"What? Training in the morning, training in the morning, training in the afternoon, and training all day long? Isn't this kind of training too intense?"

Xiao Ruxun explained: "In the morning, it is mainly physical training, so that they can increase their physical fitness, familiarize themselves with the climate, the items are complicated, and most of them are individual training, but the current drill is the drill of the battlefield. Three-stage shooting, and then it is to practice the big formation, to train the soldiers to order and prohibit, for tactical drills, the two are equally important, so they are drilled separately, and, Yuan Gong, have you seen those Western barbarians around here?"

Yuan Huang glanced around the camp's army, and indeed saw many foreigners with red hair, blond hair and brown hair.

"Why are there so many Franji people here?"

Yuan Huang didn't know the nationality of these foreigners, he only knew Frangji, so he asked this question.

"These Western barbarians were hired by the King of Siam to help train the army's firearm tactics and fight on the battlefield. Not only the King of Siam, but King Dongwu also had a firearms team composed of Western barbarians. These Western barbarians served these small King, help them fight and make money."

"These Frangji people are really interesting. They don't want a good hometown. They came here after traveling thousands of miles, and they came here to fight. What's their plan?"

Xiao Ruxun shook his head.

"I don't know what the idea is. I only know that these Western barbarians have fought against Daming, so it must not be a good thing. This kind of military training is not only to train soldiers, but also to frighten these Western barbarians and let them know about my military strength. Being strong is definitely not an easy generation. After these people saw how powerful Ming Dynasty was, they didn't dare to have delusional thoughts. Naturally, it also had the same effect on the Siamese. You see, those people are Siamese."

Xiao Ruxun pointed Yuan Huang in a direction, and Yuan Huang saw many brown-skinned Siamese pointing at the Ming army.

"So that's how it is, to deter the enemy! It's really necessary. The old man didn't seem to see any pirates along the way. Some small countries that stopped on the way saw that it was the Daming fleet and hurried up to curry favor. They gave this and that, and bought things. No money is required, Ji Xin, you have not missed military exercises along the way, have you?"

Seeing Yuan Huang's teasing look, Xiao Ruxun also laughed and said: "Since Zheng He, Ming Dynasty has rarely shown force to these small countries, so that these effects have almost forgotten the existence of Ming Dynasty. Now these places are surging and the situation is complicated. It’s a good time for Ming to step in again.”
