Wanli 1592

Chapter 71 Idiot!
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ruxun stopped looking at Li Rusong.

Xiao Ruxun's words were sincere, and his emotions were so natural that several officials in the Ministry of War had to admit that these words were indeed out of a public heart, abandoning the prejudices of factions and regions, and out of consideration for the overall interests of Ming Dynasty, there was no way to find them. Go to any place where you can criticize, oh, the North Koreans can criticize, but Ming Dynasty will never criticize.

This is true, Xiao Ruxun really thinks this way, he is not saying that he looks down on the Liaodong soldiers, on the contrary, he attaches great importance to the Liaodong soldiers, the reason why he said this is because he is reluctant to lose too much cavalry to the Liaodong soldiers!He was born in the Northwest, so he has no factional or regional prejudice?Are there such people in the Ming army?

Thinking of this, Li Rusong suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

Liaodong soldiers are basically my Li family's private soldiers, you, an outsider, actually feel distressed?

But no matter what, Li Rusong used his strategic thinking brain, no matter how he thought about it, he had to admit that Xiao Ruxun's words were justified.

Cavalry is the most expensive type of arms in the cold weapon era. It is not one of them. The training intensity is high, costly, and time-consuming. It is extremely difficult to form an army. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty raised 70 horses, but only 20 cavalry. The Tang Dynasty raised millions of horses. There are no more than [-], which is enough to see how expensive the cavalry is.

It is impossible for a cavalryman to become an elite cavalryman without five or six years of effort. Not only does he need a lot of training, but more importantly, he needs a lot of experience in fighting in battle formations.

The Li family has [-] such elite cavalrymen!
In this era, it is as powerful as a strategic nuclear weapon. With a group of second-rate cavalry, it beats the shit out of Mongolia and Jurchen. It is extremely smooth to use. If there are too many casualties, one guy loses 1000 people, Li Rusong I really can't bear it, I really can't bear it, and I can't bear it.

The cost of cavalry is too high, and a family with such a strong family background as Da Ming can't do much.

So Li Rusong had nothing to say for a while.

Then, Xiao Ruxun began to explain his tactics and principles for using troops, as well as his complete understanding of North Korea's topography and climate, which made Shi Xing very satisfied. When Li Rusong and Li Rusong left the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Li Rusong was still a little dizzy, not knowing what to say or what to do.

"Mr. Li, Ruxun has no personal grudges with the Liaodong soldiers, nor does he have any intention of belittling Liaodong. It's just that I really don't want the Liaodong cavalry to lose too much. It is the loss of the entire Ming Dynasty. It is not worth it for the sake of North Korea. Therefore, if I have offended you a lot earlier, and please take care of Mr. Li, then, I will bid farewell!"

Xiao Ruxun got on the horse, and immediately said goodbye to Li Rusong with fists, and left on the horse. Li Rusong stared blankly at Xiao Ruxun's leaving back, and left the military office in a daze for a while.

In the yamen of the Ministry of War, Shi Xing stayed alone in his duty room, thinking back to Xiao Ruxun's every word and deed just now, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth—what a Xiao Ruxun, something really happened in the door characters come!

After returning home, Li Chengliang greeted him with a face full of hope, and asked, "How is it? Is the deal settled?"

Li Rusong nodded hesitantly: "Well, it's almost there, Dad, I think Xiao Ruxun is right about one thing, our cavalry is too precious, we must not take it to North Korea to shed blood for the North Koreans, if the loss is too much How can we suppress the Mongols and the Jurchens? Although there are slaves and thieves, after all, people who are not of our race must have different hearts!"

"Ah?" Li Chengliang was a little dizzy and didn't understand what Li Rusong meant: "Rusong, what are you talking about? What kind of cavalry, Mongols, or Jurchen? I'm asking if you have the quota for the chief general? What are you talking about?"

"Commander? Oh, my son said that what Xiao Ruxun said made sense, he said..."

Before Li Rusong could react, he repeated Xiao Ruxun's words, and then kept nodding his head to express that he might have misunderstood Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun really didn't want the Liaodong cavalry to lose for no reason out of public interest. Man, it's a shame that no kid in his 40s can see clearly.

After Li Chengliang listened to it, he almost lost his temper, which frightened Li Rusong.

"Crazy!!!"

Li Chengliang sighed and collapsed on the seat.

"Father...you are..."

Li Rusong was a little flustered.

Li Chengliang raised the cane in his hand, and hit Li Rusong hard on the head!
"You were tricked by Xiao Ruxun! You got tricked by him! As soon as he came up, he took the lead. Have you forgotten what your purpose is? It is to seize the position of the general of the Eastern Expedition Army and revive the prestige of the Liaodong Army! And Not thinking about the loss of Lao Shizi! What Xiao Ruxun said is correct, but he is competing with you for the position of the chief general of the Eastern Expedition!"

Li Chengliang's face was full of hatred: "How can I have such a son who is not stingy like you!"

Li Rusong looked confused: "Father...what did I do wrong? What Xiao Ruxun said is indeed right?"

"Yes, yes!" Li Chengliang struck Li Rusong's head with another stick: "You can take it and use it! You can lead your own soldiers, and you can take soldiers from other places. You can let the soldiers from the South let the soldiers from the Shandong Go to the front line to fight to the death, you can put our Liaodong cavalry at the end and take the kill! Can’t it be enough if you don’t go up and fight? The loss or loss is completely in the commander’s mind! What you want to fight for is the commander! Not loss! Oh my! !!"

The 40-year-old son was being played around by a 20-year-old boy. Li Chengliang looked at the five-year-old and three-year-old son, and it was full of sorrow... Among his nine sons, the eldest son was the most talented and the best at fighting, but A general must not only have a military strategy, but also a certain political strategy to gain a foothold in the court, so as not to become a pig dog!
Xiao Ruxun is young, but one has a solid military record, and the other has a solid military title. These two things are enough to make him have three points of face in front of civil servants. For some reason, the emperor still appreciates him very much. He even has scheming, Strategy, this is a very scary thing!Also a signal!
A signal from the emperor to support his direct military forces!
Earlier, Li Chengliang also received a signal of goodwill from the emperor, but at that time he was already in the whirlpool of civil servants and couldn't extricate himself. If the signal of goodwill had come ten years earlier, he would have hugged the emperor's thigh without hesitation, but now He has become the trump card in the hands of the civil servants, and he can't move!
