Chapter 347
At the beginning of the dynasties in China, there was never a shortage of soldiers who dared to fight, and there was no shortage of generals who could recruit, but at the end of each dynasty, there were always neither generals nor soldiers who dared to fight. There are many reasons for this. Peaceful times The most fundamental reason is that the spirit of martial arts among the people has been worn away, and the unreasonable selection system of generals is also the key.Logically speaking, the children of the Eight Banners can be regarded as the earliest professional soldiers on the earth. They don’t do anything to make a living. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, he became a tofu soldier. I am afraid that this cannot be explained by saying that the weapons are backward.

In his previous life, Yin Zuo read many articles on the Internet about the vulnerable Eight Banners Army of the Xi Dynasty, and also expressed such views on the Internet. However, Yin Zuo has been in this dynasty for more than 20 years, but found that That's not the case, not to mention the Eight Banners. Even at this time, most of the green battalion are happy to hear the battle, full of blood and courage, and military exploits are still one of the most desired credits for everyone. It can be seen that the governors from all over the country have called for the battle. Then, how did the bravery of the Eight Banners disappear?Some of Yinzuo didn't quite understand, but vaguely felt that this should have a lot to do with the selection system and training mechanism of generals.

Leaving aside the promotion due to meritorious service, according to the Qing system, it is very easy for elder brothers and dignitaries to put their own slaves into the army. It's a difficult thing, and it's basically impossible to do it without one for more than ten years, but what about the minions of the elder brothers?A battle has not been fought, an inch of merit has not been achieved, just get a random commission, and it is like playing a guerrilla. Even Yinzuo himself has done such things. If things go on like this, is it strange that the army's spirit is strong?
No matter which era, the army will always be the absolute guarantee of the regime. This is an undoubted fact. Yin Zuo has long wanted to make some reforms to the military system, but it is not yet time, and he can only temporarily put such annoying things to rest. I put it behind my mind, but today Wang Xifeng's tears aroused Yinzuo's thoughts about the reform of the military system, and suddenly realized that the decay of the army is not only related to the military system, but also who to fight for and why The battle also has a great relationship, secretly thinking about how to proceed with the reform of the military system in the future.Thinking about this, thinking about it, people became a little dazed, walking casually in the back yard, behind a large group of maids and old ladies who were always afraid of Yin Zuo's majesty, no one dared to come forward to disturb, the sky was completely dark, Yin Zuo was still wandering aimlessly there, until a little girl who came to report woke Yin Zuo from his contemplation, and then he realized that it was getting late.

"Master, the thirteenth master is here, and he is waiting outside the gate of the mansion." The little maid said timidly.

Um?The old thirteen is here?Oh, it should be for Beigukou's military training, hey, take a look.Yin Zuo nodded and said: "Understood, I'm going now, um, let the dining room prepare the dinner, I will use it later." Yin Zuo confessed casually, and went without looking back Go outside the gate.

"Sixth brother." The old Shisanyi, who was dressed in a moon white cloth shirt and covered with a tiger fur jacket, immediately went forward when he saw Yinzuo coming out to greet him, and saluted respectfully and greeted him.

"The thirteenth brother is here, let's go, sit in the room." When Yin Zuo saw that the old thirteen came alone, he knew that the boy was about to come to offer his sincerity, so he greeted him with a smile, and stretched out his arms Holding the old thirteen's shoulders, they walked into the hall together, laughing and talking side by side.

"Old Thirteen, brother hasn't had dinner yet, so let's have a few drinks with him." Yin Zuo said with a smile as soon as he entered the hall.

"Success, there are all famous chefs in Sixth Brother's house, and my younger brother has admired him for a long time." The old thirteen was not too polite, so he sat down casually, smiled and said: "My younger brother can come out of the mountain again this time, thanks to Thank you brother six for your suggestion."

"The old thirteen's words are off the mark. My brother actually didn't do anything. It's all thanks to your fourth brother's recommendation. Hehe, the sixth brother can't deserve your thanks." Yin Zuo said with a half-smile.

Old Thirteen shrugged his shoulders disdainfully, and didn't take up the topic, but raised his wine glass and said, "Sixth brother, I would like to offer you a toast."

Hey, very interesting.Yin Zuo also took up the wine glass with a smile and drank it all in one go, without opening his mouth, just smiled, waiting for the old thirteen to turn to the next text.

"Sixth Brother, you know that my younger brother is known as a soldier. In fact, he has never led a soldier anywhere. It is really embarrassing to say, alas." The old thirteen shook his head with a wry smile, and his words were full of words. It is bitter.

Well, this kid must have thought of the illustrious military exploits of the old fourteenth, and he felt unbalanced. Hey, if you hadn't insisted on attacking the second child back then, you wouldn't be where you are today. Well, follow the fourth one. It is natural for the mean and ungrateful to suffer.Yin Zuo thought of the famous Thirteen Worthy Kings in that time and space in his previous life who was exhausted, and felt a little pity for the fate of the old Thirteen, but Yin Zuo would not show it on his face, just kept smiling , but did not speak.

The old thirteen saw that Yin Zuo didn't answer, and didn't say much, he drank the wine silently, and after a long silence, he said suddenly: "Sixth brother, the little brother is going to leave tomorrow, you know, the little brother has a lot of money in his hand. There is no need to command people, and this soldier is not easy to train. Sixth brother, your house is full of old and good fighters. Can you allocate some manpower to the younger brother? It doesn't need to be many, just a dozen or so people. At least you can make up for all the assistants. The younger brother is just an idea, and I hope that the sixth brother can complete one or two."

VIP?Well, the old thirteen is hypocritical, he made it clear that he wanted to defect to us.Yinzuo's heart moved, and he immediately understood what the old thirteen was thinking—in this era, the tendency of an army is not only related to the will of the army commander, but also to a large extent influenced by those commanders. If it goes against the wishes of the vast majority of commanders, the commander may not be able to command the army.Yinzuo's gang of sub-royal school lieutenants are all carefully selected. They have followed Yinzuo for a long time, and their loyalty has passed various tests. Let them be the commanders of the old thirteen newly trained army. This is tantamount to handing over this team to Yinzuo's hands, in other words, the old thirteen intends to be completely loyal to Yinzuo.

lure!Great temptation!Yinzuo's heart throbbed, but he didn't immediately agree to it, not to mention whether the old thirteen was sincere, even if the old thirteen was sincere, Yinzuo had to guard against Mr. Kangxi's suspicion. If this matter is covered by ginseng, it is not worth it. Not to mention, there is no impenetrable wall for such matters involving military affairs. The fourth one is ready to play the bullet, Ying Jing'er throwing it out is a serious crime; moreover, although the thirteenth has stated that he wants to defect to Yinzuo, but the thirteenth has followed the fourth for a long time, is there something wrong here? The strange thing is still in between, a group of elder brothers are not vegetarians, if the old thirteen and the fourth set up a trick for Yinzuo to drill, it is not impossible, and this has to be guarded against.

Yinzuo calmly went through all the possibilities quickly in his heart, and he already had some calculations in his heart, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Old Shisan, it's not that brother refute your face, brother Ren is I can give it, now my brother is just planning to change a group of captains, and there are some extra manpower, but it is not too many, that is, three or five. The thirteenth brother will use it first, and my brother will try to make up for it in the future. Can this be done?"

"Success, I'll just rely on brother, I thank you in advance." The old thirteen replied very simply, without staying longer, drank the remaining wine in the cup, and cupped his hands with a smile: "Six Brother, this matter is settled like this, my younger brother has to get up early tomorrow morning, so I won't stay any longer, and my elder brother's people will arrive at my younger brother's house early tomorrow morning, so I will leave."

The old thirteen came and went quickly, Yinzuo sent the old thirteen away, and turned back to the study full of doubts. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the old fourteen sitting in the study carelessly chatting with Wu and Lin , when everyone saw Yinzuo coming in, they stopped immediately and got up to greet each other.

Um?Why did the stinky old fourteen come running suddenly, and the gang of dogs didn't even make a notification.When Yinzuo thought that the concierge didn't inform him of the arrival of the old fourteen, he felt angry immediately, but Yinzuo's city was deep, but he wouldn't get angry at this time, so he smiled and said: "Old fourteen, it's so late If you don't go to rest, is it possible that you plan to play the autumn wind at your elder brother's house?"

Although Yinzuo didn't express any dissatisfaction, but what he thought in his heart could not be hidden from Wu and Lin. Before the old fourteen could speak, Wu Sidao said first: "The thirteenth master has not left yet, and the fourteenth master has arrived. It is Yulu Tell the servants not to disturb the prince."

Um?Lao Wu has always done things safely, hey, don't let the servants report, there must be something wrong here.Yinzuo smiled, without saying anything, just looked at the old fourteen inquiringly.

The old fourteen laughed nonchalantly and said, "Sixth brother, if you make a decree today, the news about the younger brother's commanding expedition will spread. Well, this time it's okay. Hey, the fourth and eighth brothers will run to the younger brother's place." It's sticky, full of nonsense, and I was going to put people on my little brother, but I was fooled by my little brother."

Hey, this is just the meaning of the question, who doesn't want to make military achievements?Well, the fourth one must have recommended Nian Gengyao, but who is the eighth one recommending?But these things have nothing to do with us, the old fourteen is showing his loyalty.Yin Zuo turned his mind and understood the purpose of the old fourteen's visit, and he didn't point it out, and said with a smile: "It's a bit bad for the old fourteen to do this. Anyway, brotherly affection still needs to be talked about. Well, the old fourteen can just figure it out, as long as he can win the battle, it doesn't matter."

"Hehe, my little brother knows it well. The fourth and eighth brothers didn't come here for military merit. They just added a few contacts. Ha, I guess it's an idea to beat the little brother. Hehe , my little brother is not stupid, so he has no place to take matters into his own hands?" Old Fourteen said with a laugh.

Well, Old Fourteen's words are too straightforward. It's a good thing to be upright, but it's too much, isn't it?Yinzuo secretly moved in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, he just smiled and said: "It's their business what the fourth and eighth think, but they are all brothers, so there is no need to make too much trouble." Students, well, if they want to recommend someone, the old fourteen can just pick a few that are pleasing to the eye and accept them, and they still need to be respected, and it’s not good to have no place to gossip.”

"Sure, if you have Brother Six's words, the younger brother will be able to return to them, and let them all stay in the back camp, but nothing will happen. Oh, Brother Six, younger brother, I heard that the old man As soon as Shisan received the order, he rushed to Lao Si's house, and seemed to have also wandered around Lao Ba's house, which was very interesting." Old Fourteen replied with a smile.

Grandma, the gang of elder brothers are not good birds, even your old fourteen may not be a pure minister, laughing at fifty steps, it's no big deal.Yinzuo knew very well in his heart that this dispatch of troops was, to put it bluntly, another big reshuffle among the elder brothers. He had already discussed this with Wu and Lin many times in private, but he didn't really care much about it. After hearing the provocative words of the old fourteen, he also didn't take it seriously, just smiled and said: "Old fourteen, there will be a call for soldiers tomorrow, there are a lot of things to do, let's go to rest earlier, brother If you are too tired to panic, I won’t let you stay.”

"It's done." The old fourteen stood up with a smile, bowed and said, "Sixth brother, this time the fourth one is in the lead, grandma, the little brother of grain and fodder really has a drum in his heart, hey, I have to trouble Sixth Brother to keep an eye on it, so that little brother does not suffer Chuan Erdan's fate."

Grandma, there is still something in this brat's words, well, let's wait and see, we don't believe that the fourth child can jump out of our palms, and so does your kid.Yinzuo smiled and waved his hands and said: "Your fourth brother is a fine person, there will be no mistakes, and the sixth brother will help to see, and you will never be in the wrong. Go ahead, let's take a rest early, and we can talk about it later. "

The old fourteen came out of the study happily, and went far away on his own, Yin Zuo didn't send him off, but just stared at the back of the old fourteen, frowning and thinking about his heart...
