Chapter 1488
Although what Yingming said was that Wei Jinzhong couldn't do such a job.

He's a guy who's going to be an officer, it's dangerous to go around in the future, and London needs people.

But in fact there is only one truth - Ying Ming thinks that Wei Jinzhong is not powerful enough.

Of course, this standard has nothing to do with whether Wei Jinzhong is good-looking or not. Wei Jinzhong is good-looking, from Mexico to London, whether it is Spanish or English prostitutes, they all like him.

But he is not mighty enough in Ying Ming's aesthetics, more like a ranger than a soldier. In Ying Ming's view, this kind of character who needs to fight the enemy, is a kind person and is finally killed by the enemy should be mighty and gentle.

Coincidentally, among Ying Ming's soldiers in London, there were many such people—the earliest ones were the larger ones in the Beiyang cavalry.

The horse standard of the Beiyang cavalry is four feet two inches to four feet five inches in height at the shoulder. This data is basically the part with the highest shoulder height in Mongolian Mali.

The maximum height of the Banner Army is required to be five feet seven inches and eight inches, because the taller the stature, the heavier the armor.

The armor worn by a 1.8-meter soldier when he is fully armed will be three or four catties heavier than that of a 1.6-meter soldier. They are also heavier, usually 150 catties.

Counting the armor and equipment, a horse can carry up to two hundred catties. In this case, without a secondary horse, the horse will be paralyzed after two days of continuous maneuvering.

They are serving as soldiers overseas. When they become taller or stronger, they will exceed the capacity of their horses. They will almost be transferred to the infantry as deputy banner officers, relying on Andalusia and Sharma to continue. On the cavalry career.

In fact, in relatively low-intensity battles, cavalry brothers like to have such comrades by their side-they will always tire the horse to death.

As a cavalry, no one is willing to regard war horses as consumables, but the irrefutable fact is that war horses are indeed consumables, and even human life will become consumables when thrown into war.

Ying Ming suddenly developed a strong interest in Tang Xianzu's drama at this moment. In a plot prepared by Tang Xianzu that had little connection with the Ming army, he saw the cruelty of war for no reason.

He can even see this person's life from this brief plot.

There is a child with magnificent green mountains, green waters and terraced fields in his hometown. He has studied for ten years and is deeply loved by the teachings of clan sociology. He said that he will be a jurengong in the future.

Farming is his forte. Planting and transplanting rice seedlings is always faster and better than others. He is smart and always thinks that he is born with talent and deserves a better life.

In the year of the imperial examination, the second uncle who valued him took out the coffin book, and the whole clan collected 14 taels of silver to send him to the exam. He returned home with a scholar, but had no money to go to the Juren exam.

He can calligraphy, draw pictures, write words and poems, know the hardships of life, and have seen the majesty of mountains and mountains.

He disdains being a waiter, accountant, and teacher. When he gets drunk, he dreams of buying two hectares of land outside the nearest prefectural city and building a large house with two rooms and eight rooms hanging on the top of the mountain. people.

One day he left his hometown to venture out, leaving behind his elderly parents and his childhood sweetheart girl, and said he would go to another place and return home after making a name for himself.

He failed to join any high-ranking official as an aide, and finally joined the Imperial Reserve Military Academy, wearing a new military uniform with several copper buttons, drinking milk and eating eggs every day, and enjoying the latest military technology in the entire empire with a monthly salary of two taels.

A spear with a thick wrist broke three of them, and he broke his knee by running under heavy weight. Even during the half-year break from training, he bent two of the barrels of the fine-made Tianxia Taiping blunderbuss. Empty eight packs, practice gunnery Fran cannons were boosted by two, and rockets and palm mines were fired endlessly.

He didn't want to buy a house in his hometown. The general said that the empire had a large area of ​​uncultivated land overseas. When they went to sea and retired, they could choose a place at random, and the government would give them [-] acres or more of wasteland.

With such a longing, he became a glorious Beiyang cavalry, joined the most elite troops of the empire, and fought for the emperor to shine everywhere.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to curl up and tremble in the middle of winter in Majiagang, sweat profusely in midsummer in Changsheng County, and fight bloody battles with hostile Spaniards in the mud of Baima River.

Finally, on the other side of the distant ocean, the imperial businessman said that there was a piece of land that would belong to Daming, and the transfer order came down very soon. The young man of heaven, riding a huge battleship that could buy an entire town, was soaked in the vast waves of the Atlantic Ocean. The sea water splashed all over.

He came to Puzhou, came to London, this remote place ten times and a hundred times farther than his hometown to Beijing, won all the battles he could win, and finally put down the bird gun he was carrying because of kindness.

He died on a despicable dagger stabbed from behind. There was no coffin or straw mat. When people found him lying in the overgrown weeds, the equipment worth dozens of taels was gone without a trace. Ravens nibble.

His father who stayed in his hometown died of overwork and illness soon after receiving the news. His mother couldn't accept it and went crazy, standing under the tree at the entrance of the village every day waiting for the child. The wealthy businessman in the place has done a small job.

And he was just one of the four figures of casualties in the annual report of the Eastern Military Government to the imperial court. He appeared in more than a dozen documents, and only one left his name. The officers took it and burned it.

Ying Ming doesn't think such a plot really happened in this land, but he thinks similar things happen every day.

It is nothing more than a cannonball, a lead shot, a crossbow arrow, a spear, a collision, a failed operation, the cultivation of several families, tens of hundreds of people over the years, all wiped out.

What can a soldier who fights against himself leave behind in the end?
The drama he didn't like, suddenly made sense.

At least the "London Notes" that should be seen clearly can prove that a dead soldier lived.

If the script were changed, it might prove that many of the soldiers who died lived, and they will live in the future.

When all his contemporaries are dead, maybe he's still alive and in the memory of everyone who saw the drama.

Ying Ming doesn't care what the people of England will think of after watching this play, but whether he can feel that Tang Xianzu deliberately deconstructed the power of the Tudor royal family. .

He is a person who blindly follows Chen Mu.

In Chen Mu's foreign strategy, he had never used gentle means, and Ying Ming, who was born as a low-level military officer, didn't know what it meant to adapt to local conditions. In his opinion, Chen Mu could control the New World for the empire, and he would definitely be able to control England with the same means.

But it was worth it for him to come to watch the drama this time, and let him understand something more important than war.

Just like the heroic novels promoted by Chen Mu, this time, Ying Ming wants to promote the development of Ming Dynasty hero dramas.

Let them live forever.
