Chapter 2                                                              

A moment later, Yu Dayou came in and said, "I will pay homage to you."

Hu Zongxian said: "Please sit down with the old general. What can the general teach me this time?"

Yu Dayou said: "Sir, since sending troops to Zhapu, he has been defeated in several battles. He suddenly had a low morale, which is a taboo for military strategists. The last general thinks that he should be a consolidating his troops to fight."

Hu Zongxian said: "The old general will not be unaware of it. Now that the war is going to begin, the number of winners and losses is unknown. In front of him, there are only Xu Hai, Chen Dong and others, and Wang Zhi's headquarters are not here. Once you have a big defeat, no, even if you win miserably, what can we do to deal with Wang Zhi?"

"Please wait for the opportunity, please wait for the opportunity."

Yu Dayou said, "Sir, I know what sir, I must be preparing for. This is not something that the last general can know. I won't ask. But the mood in the army is really bad. If it goes on, the longer the morale will be lower. I am afraid that the army's combat power will be seriously damaged. I think no matter what, it will be necessary to fight. Even a small fight must be fought. Moreover, the Japanese pirates came from afar, and although there were unworthy people following it, there were only a few. Most of them were old thieves at sea. Kill one less one, and our army was backed by the court. As long as the rear was constantly replenishing strong men, training troops, and consuming opponents, when the adults felt that the time was ripe, they would make another thunder strike. They would definitely win."

This is why the two people have different ideas.

Hu Zongxian was a civil servant. He had never walked through the grassroots of the army and fought wars. He had some literary officials' views on military affairs, which was just a clever plan. For example, the various techniques of dividing the Japanese pirates were not bad.

But it seems that in his eyes, the army has always cleaned the battlefield. It is too stupid to fight against the enemy.

But in the eyes of soldiers, it is not the case that the veterans who started with Yu Dayou, had experienced many battles, fought against Annan, and quarreled bandits and chaos. If you think the thugs in front of you are hard, don’t fight. Then don’t fight anything when you encounter it in the future.

Although Yu Dayou also felt that the war in front of him was difficult, one basic principle had never changed, that is, he never avoided war.

If you have the confidence to win, you have to fight. If you don’t have the confidence to win, you have to fight. Even if you are not sure, will you stop fighting when things come to an end?

And what Yu Dayou said is true.

After several defeats, Hu Zongxian felt that the loss was too great and had no chance of winning, so he stopped. The two sides confronted each other. In Hu Zongxian's opinion, this was a very reasonable arrangement, but what did the soldiers think?

The soldiers would only think that we are not opponents of the Japanese pirates.

In fact, this is also a basic fact. Most of the Jiangnan army is not the opponent of the Japanese pirates, especially the established real Japanese. On the Korean battlefield decades later, there were two armies that impressed the other side. One was Li Rusong, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, which was really hard. Li Rusong was surrounded by the Japanese, and the Japanese were in a mess. He claimed to repel the Ming people's 100,000 Iron Cavalry, but in fact, there were only more than 10,000 Iron Cavalry in Liaodong.

The other one is the Satsuma Fan Shimazu family. It was called the Ghost Shimanko by the Ming army, and it was almost the last Japanese army to withdraw from North Korea.

As for these foreign Japanese pirates, there are many wandering samurai. These people are just individual combat capabilities. The truly powerful ones are actually the troops sent by some famous masters in Mian Kyushu. It is still unknown who is behind other Japanese pirates, but behind Chen Dong is the Satsuma Shimazu family, which is a real secret.

From this point of view, the combat effectiveness of Chen Dong's troops can be imagined.

Although Chen Dong's number of real Japanese under his command is not large, Hu Zongxian has several powerful generals and still dare not attack hard.

But facts are facts, but the soldiers must not think like this. The strength of strength is never absolute. Otherwise, the war of defeating the strong with weak will never be gone in history. However, the entire army must not have it. The other party is very strong and we cannot defeat this idea. In this way, we will not want to fight any war and we will definitely not win.

Yu Dayou's suggestion is a bit cruel, just to consume.

In fact, although it was irresponsible to the soldiers on the ancient battlefield without training, it was irresponsible to the soldiers, but to be honest, most soldiers did not need much skill training. To train an extremely elite soldier, three years of training is required. This will allow the soldier to adapt to all environments on the battlefield. However, if a soldier is allowed to play a role on the battlefield, there is no need to be such a trouble. Just train for a period of time to go to the battlefield. As long as you can survive a battle in the ground, you will soon become an elite.

This is also the theory of courage training proposed by Yu Dayou. On the battlefield of cold weapons, being able to get used to fighting and having the courage to fight is even more important than some skills of how to use weapons.

The Japanese pirates rampant in the south of the Yangtze River and I don’t know how many killings they have made. Countless people want to avenge their revenge. These people have experienced the death of their relatives. They have a deep hatred for the Japanese pirates. Just a little training is required to push them to the battlefield, and they will have a good effect.

This is the core of Yu Dayou's suggestion.

Although it is cruel, it is always better than people. I sit quietly and confront you. I watch the Japanese pirates counting the plundered materials there, and even eager to divide the troops to plunder. However, these imperial soldiers can only watch it.

Hu Zongxian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In fact, many things are not as simple as Yu Dayou thinks.

Is there a shortage of troops in Jiangnan?

Judging from the books, there is definitely no shortage. But most of the Jiangnan army cannot be fought. Does Hu Zongxian want to recruit new troops? I think. But this means the destruction of the existing system, which is something that needs to be discussed for a long time.

Not to mention anything else, Hu Zongxian also had to worry about Xu Jie staring at him. Seeing him doing this, maybe he would play the seal there.

After all, Zhao Wenhua killed all over the country in Jiangnan and defeated Xu Jie's people one by one. It was so majestic and evil. But this also made Xu Jie remember Hu Zongxian, who was supported by Zhao Wenhua and Zhao Wenhua.

Hu Zongxian understood very well that he had many eyes now staring at him. He acquiesced to recruit new recruits. It was usually under the name of a general. For example, Yu Dayou's troops have been expanding, and later Qi Jiguang's troops were all supported by Hu Zongxian.

But that's a story later. At that time, Hu Zongxian was firmly in charge of the six provinces. Some people even said that the world must have southeast one day, and Hu Zongxian cannot have a day. Whether it is true or false, his political status has reached this position. Hu Zongxian can do many things that do not conform to the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Instead of recruiting new troops on a large scale now.

The whole story is hard to tell Yu Dayou about the whole story. After all, Yu Dayou's temper is not as smooth as Qi Jiguang. Maybe Yu Dayou will have any reaction after hearing it.

Hu Zongxian said: "I will consider the opinions of the old general. But this matter is very difficult and requires careful consideration. However, please rest assured that the general attack on the Japanese pirates will be launched within ten days or ten days. You can wait with peace of mind when you go back."

Yu Dayou looked at Hu Zongxian deeply, and thoughts changed his mind, wanting to know what Hu Zongxian did secretly, but he was so sure that the attack would be a big victory in ten days. But after thinking about it, he still believed in Hu Zongxian.

After Zhang Jing's death, Zhao Wenhua relied on Hu Zongxian's ability in many cases. Hu Zongxian often used his power to replace Zhao Wenhua.

Therefore, the chaos after Zhang Jing left the post, the uneasiness of the various divisions after hearing the news of Zhang Jing's death, and the reorganization of the Japanese pirates to the next place, were all done by Hu Zongxian running around and bit by bit.

Hu Zongxian still has a certain prestige in the army.

Yu Dayou still believed in Hu Zongxian. Seeing Hu Zongxian say this, he said, "Then I will go back now and wait for the orders of the Lord."

Hu Zongxian was about to get up and send Yu Dayou away when he suddenly heard a noise outside. Hu Zongxian was furious and said, "What's going on?"

When Hu Zongxian lifted the curtain, he saw a knight, riding a tall horse with several followers, and rushing in with some stunning power. Seeing Hu Zongxian coming out, he turned over and dismounted. Instead of kneeling down, he saluted and said, "Is this master Hu Zongxian, Lord Hu?"
