Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 631 I'll teach you how to fight
"It's not that there is something ambiguous in my words, but given the current situation, there are indeed problems with the Ming Dynasty's military system."

Since Master Hu is going to speak openly today, he will naturally not keep people on suspense.

But Zhu Biao's face was full of disbelief at this time.

"What?"

"Is there something wrong with the Ming Dynasty's military system?"

"We now have a million-strong army!"

"Uncle, isn't your statement a bit alarmist?"

Obviously, the father and daughter of the Zhu family were quite confident about the existing military strength of the Ming Dynasty.

But they didn't know that after only three generations, all the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, which had not even existed for a hundred years, would be wiped out in one fell swoop by their descendants.

If we say that Zhu Yuanzhang's purge for Zhu Yunwen's ascension to the throne, coupled with Zhu Di's Fengtian Jingnan, took away the military potential of the Ming Dynasty.

Then the great defeat of Baozong would completely destroy the military backbone of the Ming Dynasty.

All those who dared to fight and were able to fight were killed in that battle.

What does this mean?
This clearly shows that there is something wrong with the Ming Dynasty’s military system.

If there is no successor after a major defeat, then what could that mean if not a problem with the hematopoietic function?
The emperor is a waste, but he cannot keep up the good work afterwards. Isn't it because his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang has already laid the foundation for this?

Therefore, in response to Zhu Biao's question, Mr. Hu's words were very straightforward.

"Biao'er, take a look, who is in charge of the army now?"

"That was Xu Da, Fu Youde, Lan Yu, and in the future it will be Li Jinglong..."

"These people are all heroes who helped your father conquer the world."

"But have you ever thought about it, including Chongba, have you ever thought about it?"

"Do you dare to let these nobles lead the army for generations?"

"Take themselves for example. Aren't they afraid of being more successful than their master?"

"And the garrison you are so proud of, Chongba, seems to have abandoned the huge cost of maintaining soldiers, but have you ever thought about it?"

"Good soldiers and good generals are cultivated step by step through daily training and fighting on the battlefield."

"You want a bunch of farmers who usually only know how to farm to suddenly pick up knives and fight with others one day?"

"Why?"

"With your life?"

Master Hu's series of questions completely daunted Zhu Yuanzhang and his father.

No one has ever dared to raise these issues in front of them.

The kind that I dare not even say a word about.

Because this matter is so sensitive that it's fatal!
This matter involves military power!
Just as Mr. Hu himself said before.

Son of Heaven, he who has strong soldiers and horses will do it!
That matter involves military power, how dare you speak so carelessly?
But Master Hu, who was urgently summoned back by Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict from afar, was already resentful.

Considering the situation, I might as well just say it.

What else can be done?

The father and son of the Zhu family remained silent for a full half hour.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Master Hu with a heavy and dejected face.

"Weiyong, are you saying that our current method is wrong?"

"Then you can't use literature to control martial arts, right?"

"That's how the Zhao Song Dynasty fell!"

Mr. Hu smiled and shook his head.

"Of course I wouldn't suggest such a thing!"

"In fact, if you two hadn't dragged me to see the new artillery today, I wouldn't have mentioned this matter!" "After all, what does this have to do with me?"

"No matter how bad the Ming Dynasty is, can it still fall in the second generation?"

"If a few hundred years later, the Ming Dynasty runs into big problems, I won't be around anymore anyway, so why should I care about these things?"

"So, it was only after seeing these firearms that I realized that there were some problems. I'm going to mention them to you two so that our descendants won't suffer in the future!"

Zhu Biao was completely confused at this moment.

"No, uncle, how are firearms related to military system?"

"I am completely confused by what you said today!"

Master Hu pointed at the French machine gun standing there with a smile on his face.

"Because this thing has completely changed the situation on the battlefield."

"In the past, anyone with a strong arm and some courage could put on armor and pick up a knife and go to the battlefield."

"Even if you don't know anything, as long as you rush forward, you can definitely kill one or two!"

"But now that you see this artillery, don't you realize it yourself?"

"The rules on the battlefield have changed!"

"Now that more convenient muskets and cannons have appeared, then we should pay attention to you two, and then the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty will show their power."

"Then the Ming Dynasty's muskets and artillery will undergo earth-shaking changes within a few years."

“Then there will be a problem.”

"This is shooting guns and cannons, not just throwing a knife up."

"Without long-term, professional training, you will not be able to shoot accurately, and it is not surprising that you will even hit your own people."

"Not only do the soldiers have to train, but the generals also have to learn from scratch."

"After all, the rules on the battlefield are different from the previous close combat, and they have to figure out how to command."

"What about these nobles who rely on family traditions to succeed them? When they go to the battlefield, their family traditions are no longer useful. What should they do?"

"We can't just sit there and watch the Ming Dynasty, which obviously has better firearms, get beaten to a pulp, can we?"

"We understand!"

As soon as Mr. Hu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang took over the conversation with shining eyes.

Obviously, for Zhu Yuanzhang, who joined the army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and conquered the Ming Dynasty, what he actually liked to talk about more was war.

Emperor, he had never done that before.

But he had led troops in battles for many years and did a pretty good job.

"Weiyong, what you mean is that now that we have better weapons and better equipment, we must also update our tactics."

"But we've used firearms before in wars, and I don't think there are so many twists and turns here."

When Mr. Hu heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question, he didn't find it strange.

For someone who has never witnessed the horror of the battle between two armies in the era of hot weapons, it is simply unimaginable that the killing efficiency of weapons can be so terrifying.

At this moment, Mr. Hu's eyes were a little confused.

His eyes seemed to have penetrated the mist of history and the barriers of time and space, and he saw those brave warriors who rode their horses to charge towards the foreign rifle team but eventually fell to the ground.

At the same time, he seemed to see that the overwhelming artillery fire fell on his own positions like a plow.

At this moment, Master Hu understood.

It turns out that this fear of insufficient firepower cannot be cured even if one travels through time and space.

Thinking of this, Mr. Hu suddenly woke up and smiled at the father and son of the Zhu family.

"Well, let me tell you two how to fight a firearm battle!"
