It's not been long into the night, and I can see from the window that there is a little light in the yard. Ning Yi leaned on the end of the bed, kneading his calves for his wife, and chatting with his wife who had been separated for half a month about recent things.

Of course, no matter what kind of mood you have, saying that another woman is cute in front of your own lady is naturally not too emotional, Su Tan'er laughed for a while, and said in a low voice: "Xianggong thinks it's cute, it won't be that he wants to take that Lu girl into the room." ”

"Can you hold her down?"

Su Tan'er pursed her lips and looked at Ning Yi: "I can't hold back that Miss Liu." ”

Of course, these are jokes, but it is enough to talk about other people's things in private. Su Tan'er bent one leg and looked at her husband who was massaging her with some happiness: "Recently, Xing'er's mood is actually not very good. ”

"What's wrong?"

"The people who were pretending to be her parents...... She originally thought it was true, after all, it was a little emotional. ”

"Although the people have just been driven away, I am afraid that the situation will not be too good...... You can comfort her more, and ask Chan'er Juan'er to comfort her. ”

"Hmm."

"Why don't you find her a husband?"

"Xiao Nizi has a high spirit, and no one in the family can look at it."

"No one looks up to her or someone she doesn't look up to......"

"Of course, I don't look down on others, otherwise the nephew of the third room manager, called He Yu, or the son of the ancient account room, the second son of the Cui account room, has come to say that he wants to propose, and there are ......" Su Tan'er counted with her fingers.

"Oh, it's quite popular."

"Of course, the three maids in our big house, Xing'er Chan'er Juan'er, who doesn't blush when they see it. Chan'er is with you. Xing'er Juan'er still has to grab it......"

The next is also the trivial parental short. For Su Tan'er, the situation at home has always been able to be arranged and taken care of in an orderly manner, and Ning Yi's opinion is not needed for reference. But if Ning Yi said anything, she would also nod her head in response, this is the feeling of a family. It's been a while. Xing'er came to take care of Su Tan'er, Ning Yi also casually asked about their recent life in Huzhou, Xing'er didn't plan to complain, she blinked her eyes and nodded, and said very good, very good...... As a maid, she will have the ability to self-regulate her emotions and not let her own problems disturb the master's house, this is probably the self-cultivation of a good maid, if Ning Yi has been with her for a while, she has no chance to be comforted, and she has to respect the other party's choice.

Hangzhou is done. Immediately transferred to Zhenjiang and then returned to Jiangning, it does not mean that there is nothing to do. Lu Hongti, who talked to his wife, is part of this matter. When I asked the other party for help in Hangzhou, I said that I would get a five-year plan for her or something. After a few months of intermittent intermittent work, in fact, the plans that should have been done were almost the same. Now that most things have a destination, it would be a bit unkind to drag it out any longer. In the next few days, she can concentrate on perfecting her plan for this smuggling cottage.

Thinking like this, when she walked through the double porch and went to the courtyard on Lu Hongti's side, she saw her standing by the well to draw water, slowly shaking the wheel with one hand, standing there I didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, but when Ning Yi walked over, she also reacted and looked over here. Ning Yi took over her work in the past.

"I'll do it."

There is probably no gentlemanly demeanor in this era, but Lu Hongti is not hypocritical, he took a step back, and watched Ning Yi turn the bucket up, and while turning, Ning Yi also looked down with his probe.

"The courtyard was not ours in the first place, and an old man named Tang Xiuxuan lent it to us to live, and I don't know if the road is clean...... Speaking of which, I was passing by the wellhead for a while and liked to look down. ”

"What are you doing?" Lu Hongti tilted his head and asked.

"I heard that big families want to kill maids and concubines, destroy corpses and destroy traces, and push people into the well, so I often think that there will be corpses inside."

These words made Lu Hongti laugh, but she then scooped and drank a few sips with a wooden spoon, which made Ning Yi slightly speechless, and then tasted it, the well water was very sweet, and she didn't think about soaking in any messy things. When Ning Yi asked if the spring water in the mountains was a little more delicious, Lu Hongti felt that it was all the same.

"Anyway, Xie Lu thanked me recently, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back alive in Hangzhou."

Formally thanked him for this, and then Ning Yi chatted with Lu Hong about Lu Liang's situation in more detail. In a few months, in fact, everything that should be said has already been said, and the opinions and opinions that Ning Yi wants to give have been written into a thick booklet. Lu Hongti's stockade on Luliang Mountain is still sketched out as much as possible with a smuggling base that doesn't care about anything.

Ning Yi may only have a few ideas on how to run a cottage and how to negotiate with others, but he is extremely proficient in economic things, what kind of goods, how to go, how to secretly control, how to guide and lure others with interests, how to observe the price rise and fall of various items in a seemingly fair environment, how to regulate and control the interests as much as possible to be inclined to himself and not let others notice, what are some cases and small means. These things are all written in the book, of course, as for how to use it, it still depends on Lu Hongti's own judgment.

Usually joking, Ning Yi can make people relax, make people scold, make people laugh, once he starts to do things, he is also very serious, enough to infect others. After chatting like this for a while, Ning Yi went back to the courtyard on the side, further improved his ideas in the study, and immersed himself in the book. More than an hour later, Lu Hongti remembered some things, and discussed with Ning Yi for a while, and Ning Yi discussed the content with Lu Hongti while writing.

After chatting like this until late at night, the topic was moved away from simple copycats and smuggling, Ning Yi knew that Lu Hongti was afraid that he would leave in a few days, and many unshaped ideas could also be told to her.

“…… Actually, I've been thinking about something lately, about the battles in the north. You know the way, I don't know the soldiers, but there are some things that can be solved from human nature, and the results are almost the same, so I've been thinking about what will be defeated for Lu recently. ”

Lu Hongti didn't know what he wanted to say, so he nodded as if he didn't understand: "Hmm." ”

"The reasons are different in everyone's statement, and they have different results from different directions. I have a few letters here. It was sent from Bianjing. Not necessarily to me, of course...... In this war in the north, Wang Yu and Yang Keshi hesitated at first, and when they wanted to fight. Many people in the middle and lower classes are obstructed by it, which can be said to mean Tong Guan, or the meaning of some big families that do business with the Liao State. All kinds of interests are tilted, it is right to say, and then the courage was broken, and in the next few big battles, the enemy was defeated, and everyone took care of running away, and they were defeated, but on the contrary, it was a small conflict of 100 people, and they could be won again. After all, there is not much difference between people......"

Ning Yi waved his hand: "To be honest, I've been watching these things for a long time. I think it's all normal. Looking for a reason, I like to look for complicated things. But if you start from a human point of view. We can make a simple model, small-scale contact for what can win, because the ability between people, after all, the gap is not big, large-scale for what must be lost, in fact, it is also very simple. Let's say we're in a team of 100,000 people right now, and I'm one of them, that's enough. No matter how complex the reason is, there is only one idea. ”

What he said, Lu Hongti was actually a little confused at first, and he didn't understand what he wanted to say, but he had to listen, Ning Yi smiled: "In the final analysis, I don't trust my companions around me, no matter how powerful I am, I can't beat tens of thousands of people." As soon as the war started, I was thinking in my heart, we will definitely not be able to fight, for what, because they, you will definitely turn around and run later, so I have to run, when tens of thousands of people think so in their hearts, no matter how powerful the people who lead the army are, they can't beat others. And after many defeats on the battlefield, this mentality is even more ingrained. In fact, what everyone thinks is not that we can't win against the Liao, but ...... The people around you are bound to run, and that's the key. ”

Lu Hongti thought about it and nodded: "Of course that's the case, but ...... What's the solution......"

"I think something is wrong, something that I didn't think was useful before, but now it seems that it's actually quite useful." Ning Yi thought for a while, and then smiled and pointed his fingers: "Two things, trust and rules." There are a lot of little things to do, some little games about trust, such as having someone stand on a two-meter platform, fall backwards with their hands outstretched, and let his companion catch him in the back, everyone, do it once a day, if the companion doesn't catch him, he may fall and break his head and bleed, and then ...... Stand in a military posture, walk in a phalanx, and perform military orders and regulations most strictly...... Oh, it may be too much to ask for at once, but these things don't have to be done every day, but they can be done every day for a while, and I've written it in my notebook......"

Ning Yi smiled, as if he had figured out something. As a person who came over a thousand years later, in fact, he will be confused by many things, for example, if you say how powerful the PLA is in the society after a thousand years, people will laugh, is it so good to stand in a military posture and fold quilts in a phalanx? And then it gives the impression that these are purely superficial forms of demand, but in fact, they contain a very deep human nature management.

100,000 people versus 10,000 people, is it really attributed to the fact that the Han people are all pigs? Is it purely down to internal struggles? In fact, even if 100,000 people stand still and let 10,000 people fight purely mechanically and slash, 10,000 people may not be able to beat. Not because every one of the 100,000 people is too weak, but because most of them have a subconscious thought: "They will definitely run." And not simply "I'm not as good as the Liao".

There is a chance to win a small battle, because they know each other, and as long as there are thoughts such as "we can win" and "no one will run away", the army will stumble, but when the formation of a formation of 100,000 people, everyone still thinks "everyone will definitely run away." "Especially when there are many failures as a precedent, one person is afraid, and a group of people will all turn around.

Doing the same thing, stepping on the same steps, jumping off the platform by himself, his companions will catch it every time, and he will definitely catch it, so that after the military regulations penetrate into everyone's bones in all kinds of small things, even in the phalanx of 100,000 people, he knows from this end that no one he knows will run away. Even as long as people feel that "the military order is like a mountain, everyone will not dare to run", 100,000 people will not be able to lose to 10,000 people under any circumstances.

Just like the Tyrant Battalion, they have done enough to trust each other to a certain extent, but that is the maintenance of various feelings, and once the Tyrant Battalion wants to expand, this trust will be thin. In China's history since ancient times, as long as the army can achieve "military orders like a mountain", it can often make a reputation. And after doing that. It is the logistical supply and strategic planning that determine the outcome of the victory. Because only to this extent can the army be called several.

Ning Yi didn't care about these seemingly ordinary army training methods in the past, but he didn't think it was useless. Instead, he thinks that there are ancient situations in ancient times, and he has no ideas and requirements for the Badao Battalion. But now you can think clearly. These things, all kinds of games about trust in the army, and the strictness of the formation and walking, are all accumulating a kind of psychological suggestion: "The people around me, I know what they are like" and "The military order is like a mountain, if you run away, you will definitely be punished and you will die".

He wrote these in the notebook for Lu Hongti.

"You don't have to practice all day, but you can practice for a while every day, those little games about increasing mutual trust. You can do it every day, and you can choose what you want to ask for. It doesn't necessarily mean that you can become an elite soldier in the world, but it will definitely have an effect......"

He explained these things in detail. But many of the terms are naturally contemporary. Lu Hongti didn't know if Lu Dao had adapted to his style. I don't know what Lu Dao is thinking when I lower my head, but it's been a long time. Fang Cai glanced up at him: "What does Liheng want to make my stockade?" ”

"Uh......" Ning Yi was stunned, and then he understood what Lu Hongti was referring to, she was a stockade with many mountain bandits, and she planned to engage in large-scale smuggling in the future, and the rules must be relatively scattered. I couldn't help laughing, "Heh, since you want to practice, let's set the requirements a little higher." It's good to do anything, force is the most important, it's not difficult to make money, after you have money, it's important to transform it into combat effectiveness, it's good what it will become, let's take one step at a time. ”

"Liheng Zhilu Dao, if there is really such an elite soldier, what will Lu Liang become?"

Ning Yi thought for a while: "Could it be to kill Tian Hu, reject Liaokou, and establish himself as the emperor and queen...... That's not bad. ”

This is naturally a joke, Ning Yi has certain expectations for these methods, but the expectations are naturally not so big, as long as you understand the purpose of these trainings, and if you do it, you can become a qualified army. And as long as there is a qualified army, at least on the side of Luliang Mountain, maybe it will not be bullied. As for the rest, he doesn't think much about it now.

After chatting like this for a while, it was almost midnight, and when the topic was about to end, Lu Hongti asked a question that he had been thinking about for a long time: "Ning Liheng, what do you want to do?" ”

"Huh?"

Lu Hongti looked at him: "You help the sword battalion, and you help the Wu Dynasty, sometimes you look like a saint, sometimes you look cold-blooded than anyone else, many times you have a bigger picture than anyone else, but many times I don't think I understand what your overall situation is at all." Before, you seemed to ignore the imperial court completely, in Jiangning I told you about those who opened peace for all generations, and you also scoffed, and now you are going to enter Beijing again, which side are you on, and what do you want to do? ”

"Didn't you say it, the Wu Dynasty is very dangerous, and I don't know myself now...... Oh, I know what you want to ask. Ning Yi said a few words, then laughed, shook his head, and cleaned up the things on the table, "I'm not planning to do something for the sake of the people of the world, and the idea of opening peace for all generations is meaningless." But...... For example, when our team fled from Hangzhou, there was a little girl on the road, her parents were probably dead, she followed her grandmother, there was nothing to eat on the road, she was very hungry, I gave her a steamed bun, she ate it very much, I would think this little girl was very cute, if possible, for that feeling, I could kill the entire Fangla army in Hangzhou...... I mean, if I had the ability to do that. ”

But it would be foolish to extend this feeling to people all over the world, who do things for the sake of what they can see. If someone tells me that there are a million of these little girls in the North suffering, I just think, what does it matter to me. The so-called people in the world, most of them are like pigs and dogs, incorrigible, people should first save themselves, and then take the initiative to maintain some things that they think are good, which is enough. ”

"To be honest, when I fled, or after the city of Hangzhou was broken, I saw some people, and the experience was very miserable, if possible, I would like to have as few such things around me as possible, this idea is very simple, I am not great at all, and I have never thought of dying for this thing." He said, "It's just that there is a guy surnamed Qin who played chess with me, and he wants to save the world, and I think this idea is admirable, although I don't want to...... And people like Qian Xiwen in Hangzhou City......"

As he said this, Lu Hongti kept looking at him and listening carefully, but he didn't know what Lu Dao was talking about, and when he said this, the other party's face seemed to suddenly turn red.

“…… Therefore, I just feel that if I can do something, I can help a little, and no matter what the result is, it is better than standing aside and saying cool words. Heh, I'm not here to help the imperial court or anything, to help the Badao Battalion, to help Qin Siyuan, to help you do this, it's all personal interests, and it's not for people in the world......"

I don't know what Lu Dao is about, Lu Hongti's face became more and more strange and subtle.

"To be honest, in the team that escaped, only that little girl was cute, and the rest of the people were really messy people, stealing other people's things, killing people and seeking revenge, carrying some of their own family's rags and refusing to throw them away, and those who wanted to use others as bait, and in the end, they would only kill their own people. The people of the world have this virtue, if you want to say what to do for the people of the world, I am really not so noble...... Uh, what's wrong with you? ”

"No, nothing......" Lu Hongti replied, looking like a temporary recovery, and smiled, "It's nothing, I'll go back to the room first." ”

"Oh, good night."

Ning Yi looked at her departing back, a little puzzled, he raised his head and thought for a while, still a little distressed.

"Uh...... Did I say something wrong......"

Probably because he was too selfish, not noble enough, and despised......

In the end, I can only make such an answer.

The iron sword of the rivers and mountains is quite hot-blooded.
