Xiao Ruxun really can't think of any good solution to the affairs of the literati, it is indeed not a strange thing for the great military generals to recruit staff in these years, but those dog-headed military divisions are not enough to succeed and more than fail, Xiao Ruxun needs talents who can really govern the place, but those talents have basically been collected by the state.

Now is not a world of great controversy, now is not an era without the imperial examination system, there are no sages left in the countryside, only retired sages and reclusive sages, how can these "sages" go south to Myanmar with Xiao Ruxun to start a career? And those who were abandoned by the imperial court, are they reliable?

Xiao Ruxun didn't dare to say, but one thing is certain, literati are an indispensable type of people for him to start a career, without these people, he can't establish his own civil official system, and it is not strange for strong generals to establish their own administrative system in some special areas, those "civil officials" are often not appointed by the imperial court, not officials, but serve military generals as officials, just like the staff system recruited by the county magistrate himself, specifically for private services.

And what Xiao Ruxun needs is such a private staff system.

Just, where to look?

Xiao Ruxun was very troubled by this.

The troubles about talents are destined to be long-lasting, and the selection of talents and talents is an eternal problem, and no one has solved it perfectly, so it is impossible to hurry, what Xiao Ruxun has to do at present is to communicate with the generals who are about to go south and arrange the tasks.

As the commander of the expedition to Dongwu Kingdom, Xiao Ruxun needs to personally assign tasks to his subordinates, this kind of thing, the military department will not participate, so after the lively full moon wine, Xiao Ruxun first interviewed Liu Wei and Deng Zilong, the two southwest generals, at the beginning, these two people had a little unpleasant thing in the southwest, mainly for the treatment of their respective armies, which is very common.

On the Korean battlefield, the two belonged to the Navy Division and the Army, and Xiao Ruxun suppressed them, and these two people would not make any trouble, but this mission was to require the two of them to fight alone for Xiao Ruxun to contain the main army of the Donghu Dynasty on the Yunnan border, so that Xiao Ruxun could gain a firm foothold on the land of Southeast Asia and attack the heart of the Donghu Dynasty.

Having said that, the relationship and grudge between these two people are inseparable from the Burmese people, and the rise and invasion of the Taungoo Dynasty in Burma is basically the history of the two of them, but a few years before the Korean War, Deng Zilong and Liu Ting were in Yunnan and the Burmese fought with real swords and guns, and won victories.

Chen Wan interviewed these two people first, and he also had the idea of wanting to fully understand the military power of the current Donghu Dynasty.

"These cave warriors are not weak, on the contrary, they are also very strong and good at fighting, especially in mountain warfare, they are especially good at it, our army is a lot of times in the mountains can not keep up with their footsteps, so they can win in the flat land, and the pursuit to the mountains will fail, plus the local roads are difficult to travel, a large number of ordnance can not be transported, so many times it is still light soldiers to fight, short combat, and the frequency of using firearms between each other is very small."

Deng Zilong explained without worry: "Therefore, if you expect to adopt the tactics of the Japanese state in the land of Yunnan, the admiral, it is not very realistic, the Japanese have flat terrain, and Yunnan is very rare, and the places close to the border are even more densely jungled, not to mention artillery, even bird guns are not very useful, the most reliable are those small crossbow arrows and short soldiers." ”

Liu Ting also echoed: "Those places are really not very good to open, the past is a saying that the artillery is not lucky, and it is another thing to say that it can't be hit, as soon as the cannon sounds, those bastards all hide in the jungle, we can't find the target at all, and we don't know where to put the artillery, as a result, they rushed out from somewhere to attack the large army, and our army was defeated in the terrain and tactics several times before." ”

Xiao Ruxun frowned and said softly: "That means that the cave martial artists are not very accustomed to using firearms?" ”

Deng Zilong shook his head.

"It's not that they are not very accustomed to using firearms, they also have very sophisticated firearms in their hands, and the last general has also seen them have firearms troops, holding bird guns, pushing artillery, their elite level is not below my Ming, and there are also red haired figures in their army, which seems to be helping them in the war, which is very hateful."

That's right, in this era, whether it is the Burmese, the Thai or the Vietnamese, there is a practice of employing the Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch as military advisers and military mercenaries, hiring them to train their own firearms units, so as to create a strong army, but these countries have always been the same as the Ming Dynasty, not paying much attention to sea power, the navy is almost none, and the Ming naval division has an advantage in this regard.

Xiao Ruxun then spoke: "The two of you also know that this time the southward expedition to the Dongwu Kingdom is a big matter, some time ago, the Japanese Governor and Shi Butang made some considerations, made a plan, and decided that the army would not enter the Dongwu Kingdom from Yunnan, but would be diverted by sea, arrive at Nanyang by sea, land on the coast of Siam, join forces with Siam, attack Dongwu Kingdom from land, and attack its henchmen!" ”

Xiao Ruxun opened the Nanyang chart of his clothes and pointed out the marching route he planned to the two of them.

The two were amazed by this.

"Siam?"

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "Keeping the enemy outside the country, burning the war on the territory of the enemy, attacking the place where it must be saved, so that it no longer dares to rashly attack our borders, is the most correct tactic, and Siam and Dongwu have many years of grudges, and they are most eager to let Dongwu destroy the country, so just as North Korea hates the Japanese country, Siam is also our natural ally. ”

Deng Zilong and Liu Ting were dumbfounded.

"War, never a matter between two countries, the surrounding countries will inevitably be involved, although this war is the grudge between the Ming Dynasty and the Dongwu State, but Siam also has a deep blood feud with the Dongwu State, the so-called enemy of the enemy is our friend, there is such a natural ally not to unite, isn't it a big mistake? Our army will not exceed 40,000 troops in the south this time, and it will be even less than when it dealt with the Japanese state, so it is imperative to find allies.

The Governor also has a partial understanding of Siam, the Siamese firearms technology is not under the Ming Dynasty, the firearms troops are also quite elite, although the combat effectiveness of the hand-to-hand combat is insufficient, but the firearms troops are enough to help our Ming, with it leading the way on the road, providing shelter and part of the military rations, the Ming can avoid a lot of trouble, and even we can try to buy military rations directly from Siam, and then alleviate the confusion of the inconvenience of transporting grain and grass in the country, and the country only needs to transport food for your two soldiers. ”

Well?

Deng Zilong and Liu Ting heard what they cared about very much.

"The two of me?"
