Chapter 719: It's Time to Deal with Them
When Yang Feng said this, everyone blew up one after another. They were all brought out by Yang Feng, whether they went north to fight the Manchu Tartars in the past few years, or went south to destroy Zheng Zhilong, they haven't been scared of anyone, how can they obey this pair of guys who have never heard of the name before.
"Master Hou, you also value Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew too much!"
"That's it, Master Hou, don't you want to grow up others to destroy your own prestige!"
"The last general is not convinced, as the old saying goes, it is the mule that the horse pulls out and slips, and the last general does not bully them, everyone pulls out the same people and horses to have a drill to see who is more powerful!"
Looking at the passionate crowd, Yang Feng smiled faintly: "Don't be unconvinced." Ben Hou asked you, if you were to change into the same weapons and armor of the Liaodong Army and receive the same food, would you be able to fight against the Manchu Tartars in Liaodong for more than ten years, and you would have made quite a success? ”
"This ......"
Chu Maoguang, who originally shouted the loudest, was silent.
Before the appearance of the Jiangning Army, the Liaodong Army could be said to be the most elite military force in the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is equipment, the salary is the highest and the best.
But there is no harm if there is no comparison, and the food and equipment of the Liaodong Army is a joke compared to that of the Jiangning Army.
There was a sad joke that the reason why the Liaodong Army completely gave up firearms was because the firearms made by the Beijing Military War Bureau were frequently blown up after they were sent to Liaodong, and there were even more people killed and wounded under their firearms than the enemy killed, and finally the Liaodong Army had to pick up cold weapons again.
Don't look at the Jiangning army's successive defeats of the Manchu Tartars under the leadership of Yang Feng, and even forced them to retreat in Shengjing City and dare not show their heads, but everyone knows that the reason why the Jiangning army has such a high combat effectiveness is that in addition to being well-trained and high morale, their firearms play the most critical role.
Whether it is the brown Bess fire gun or the Napoleonic artillery, all of them are sharp weapons to kill the enemy in this era, and it is precisely because of these things that the bow and horse arrows that the Manchus are proud of cannot be used at all, which has led to continuous victories.
If both sides are replaced with cold weapons, and a battle with cold weapons is carried out with real swords and guns, even the most optimistic people dare not guarantee that they can beat those lovers who have been urinating and practicing killing skills since childhood.
And Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew can rely on the cold weapons in their hands, lead the money that has never been paid enough, fight with the Manchus in Liaodong for so many years, and can still win battles from time to time, which is enough to prove their excellence.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Feng continued: "Don't look at the fact that you have also won a few battles over the years, but that is based on the absolute superiority of troops and firearms, and you really can't compare with others if you really pick up the tenacity and patience to fight the enemy in a disadvantageous situation."
This expedition to Sulu, although our army was escorted all the way by a sailor, but now Sulu has long been occupied by the Spaniards, and we don't know anything about the situation in Sulu.
If nothing else, let's just say that you Chu Maoguang, you are brave and good at fighting, which is recognized. But you lack the experience of leading a single army, and even less experience in fighting in a different place where there is a lack of supplies and the enemy's situation is unknown, so I really don't worry about you leading the army to fight alone, do you understand? ”
Everyone's heads had been lowered, Chu Maoguang thought for a while and then asked: "Master Hou, even if the last general is inexperienced, but General Terrier is an old and serious person, can't he lead the troops to the battle?" ”
"Geng Bingyi is naturally okay." Yang Feng didn't object this time, but said: "But Ben Hou has more important things to do next, so Geng Bingyi and you can't leave for the time being." ”
"More important things to do?"
Everyone was shocked, and then looked at each other puzzled, and now the situation in Fujian has been roughly stable. The Zheng Zhibao group has also been exterminated, and Taiwan has also been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, what could be more important than an expedition to Sulu?
Unless......
Geng Bingyi suddenly lost his voice and said: "Master Hou, are you going to send troops to Liaodong again?" ”
"Hehehe......"
Yang Feng suddenly laughed, his voice was very cheerful, and his face showed a sense of relief.
"It's still Lao Geng who understands Ben Hou's mind best."
"Isn't it, you're going to Liaodong again?"
The generals were surprised, more than a year had passed since the last expedition to Liaodong.
In this year or so, the Manchu Qing Dynasty headed by Huang Taiji was extremely honest, in the words of Sun Chengzong's excerpt to Zhu Youxiao, the entire Manchu Eight Banners were as honest as they were, and a few days ago Huang Taiji even gave the Ming court a request to restart the mutual market.
Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty feel that the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was like a hungry wolf in the past, has transformed into a little white rabbit, and even has an official who has given Zhu Youxiao an excerpt, saying that it is a waste that Liaodong now consumes nearly two million dollars of silver every year, and suggests that the imperial court reduce the size of the army.
Although this proposal was quickly vetoed by Zhu Youxiao, it can be seen from here that the imperial court's vigilance against the Manchus has now turned into contempt.
But in this case, Yang Feng actually wants to go on an expedition to Liaodong again, I'm afraid that as soon as this proposal comes out, many people will not understand, right?
Chu Maoguang asked a little puzzled: "Master Hou, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has become a toothless tiger now, we can clean them up whenever we want, why are you in a hurry to go on another expedition?" ”
Seeing everyone's expressions, Yang Feng shook his head slightly, it seems that everyone still doesn't have enough understanding of the harmfulness of the Manchu Dynasty.
But it's no wonder, not to mention the people present, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can imagine that in another historical time and space, it is no one else who has replaced the Ming Dynasty to rule this fancy world, it is the Manchu people who are the same as Yidi in their eyes.
No matter how the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations whitewashed their ancestors, the fact is that during the more than 270 years that the Manchus ruled the Central Plains, the civilization and development of the entire China not only did not make any progress, but showed a great regression.
In particular, the Manchurians liked the Daxing Literary Prison the most, and Qianlong, who was known as the perfect old man, set off more than 130 cases of the Literary Prison during his reign.
The literary prison, which lasted for more than 200 years, has made countless brilliant Chinese civilizations disappear in the long river of history, and the regression of civilization, national strength, and science and technology has made China, which originally stood at the top of the world, become a "sick man" that everyone can come over and step on.
Now that Yang Feng has come to this historical time and space and has the ability to change history, how can he let go of these guys who only know how to destroy and not know how to build?
The reason why he didn't destroy the Manchus in one fell swoop last time was because his time was not ripe, and there were Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch dragging their feet on the southeast coast, but now it is different, Yang Feng, who has freed his hands, can launch a general attack on the Manchus without any scruples, and completely sweep them into the garbage heap of history.
