Chapter 638: Everything can only depend on oneself
The battle is imminent, Zhu Cilang is relaxed on the surface, but in fact he has already tense his heartstrings nervously. He needs to relax, but he doesn't know how to relax.
Going to a brothel? Zhu Cilang doesn’t have this hobby. It seems boring to go to drink. When he goes to gambling, Zhu Cilang is not a playboy, although he really wants to.
If it was a prosperous era, Zhu Cilang really wanted to be a prodigal son who was willing to die. For example, learn from Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao. Although Zhu Houzhao was regarded as a negative teaching material and was proficient in eating, drinking, and gambling. However, he was in power and had great victories in Yingzhou, and he was killed by Liu Jin, King Pingning and King Anhua rebelled. It was not to say that he was useless.
Zhu Cilang thought too, but the situation did not allow it. People traveled through a prosperous dynasty, and became kings and dominating step by step, and had beautiful women in the country.
As for me, I threw it to a mess as soon as I came. I could calculate with my fingers up, and I would have lost my country in a few years. How can I do it if I don’t work hard? If I don’t work hard, I will follow it.
At least, Zhu Cilang can get a short tranquility here. The time here is very slow, without the cumbersome government affairs, and there is no intriguing court struggle. Some, at least, have a quiet and calm life. It is really fascinating to have sunrise and sunset.
"You, wash your own clothes. Do you want to find a few maids for you?" Zhu Cixuan asked tentatively.
Xiao Shishi shook her head and chuckled softly, "I'm not that delicate. Besides, isn't it just washing clothes? I'm not the young ladies who can get clothes and eat. If you find a few maids for me to surround me every day, I feel uncomfortable and don't say it, the people in the village will also make jokes."
This is true. It is indeed very inconsistent to attach a few maids to Xiao Shishi. The most important thing is that she doesn't like it.
"I'm here to see you, I'm going to leave," said Zhu Cixuan.
"Are you leaving?" Xiao Shishi said with disappointed face.
Zhu Cixuan was also reluctant to leave: "Well, I'm leaving."
It was helpless to see each other with all eyes. Zhu Cilang could not stay for a long time. This time he came to Huajiazhuang to squeeze out this little free time from his busy time.
After all, when the 12th Regiment Battalion went to the expedition, Zhu Cixuan needed the command of Zhu Cixuan. Sun Wangcai, who was not far away, was already anxious, and he couldn't help but shout: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Cixuan made a cruel decision: "I will come back to see you after the war."
Xiao Shishi didn't say anything and stared at him in a daze. Suddenly, a fire was burning in Zhu Cilang's chest. He rushed over without hesitation, hugged Xiao Shishi, and kissed him fiercely.
Xiao Shishi was shocked. She opened her eyes wide in fear, but did not struggle. Sun Wangcai, Meng Fanchao and others behind her were even more scared and turned around in a hurry. The prince was too bold.
Zhu Cilang was too brave. In this era, he was absolutely avant-garde. It was so avant-garde that it was almost trampling on moral etiquette.
However, Xiao Shishi did not struggle after all. After leaving this place, I don’t know when and when will I see you again. Zhu Cilan suddenly pushed him away, laughed and turned over to the horse.
Now his heroic spirit has risen sharply, going to his mother bandits and his mother Jiannu. This palace is fearless in the face of any powerful enemy!
"Xiao Shishi, when my palace returns to victory, I will ask my father to give us a marriage and go!"
Xiao Shishi, standing by the river, stared blankly, and Zhu Cilang's horse team left. The horse galloped in Huajiazhuang is a mountain village road. At this moment, the prince was so tall and mighty in Xiao Shishi's heart. She also believed that Brother Zhu would definitely return victoriously.
Not only because he is the prince, but not just because he is his sweetheart. Xiao Shishi believes that Zhu Cilang will definitely win every battle for no reason.
The 12th Regiment Battalion is ready to go, and more than 100,000 troops must obey orders and command unifiedly.
The dog-legged Lai Fu from the imperial village came to see him off. The harvest of emerging crops made the military rations sufficient. Liu Lai Fu came to Zhu Cixuan and swore: "Your Highness, you have sufficient food and grass. The villain promised that there will be no shortage of food in the 12th Regiment Camp within half a year."
Zhu Cilang nodded with satisfaction: "Laifu, do you have any discomfort when you follow the army as a military officer?"
Lai Fu shook his head: "I am willing to work hard for His Highness the Crown Prince, and it is no difference between being a military officer and being a magistrate of the Imperial Household Supervisor."
"Okay, this is the first time you have gone to war with me. Don't take it lightly. This is a war that will kill people."
Lai Fu, the Imperial Village Supervisor, was requisitioned by Zhu Cilang as the military commander of the 12th Regiment Battalion. Zhu Cilang was really no one available, and his army was short of people.
What is missing is someone who cares about himself, someone who can be loyal to himself and reassure himself. Zhu Cilang thought about it and couldn't find a few suitable candidates.
Quartermasters are responsible for the army's logistics. Don't be too conspicuous, they are actually the top priority. Many battles burn the opponent's food and grass, causing the enemy to retreat or even be defeated.
After the past two years of experience, Zhu Cilang quickly understood one thing. Empty talk about the country was ruined, and he had gained a deep understanding of this from the court officials.
The officials in the court still believe that the Ming Dynasty has a large number of officers and soldiers, and their actual combat effectiveness is not weak. Even if one of them fights ten, they have already driven Jiannu back to Changbai Mountain to eat grass. Why can't they win and can only defend the danger? They can only rely on the Guanningjin defense line to block the Qing Dynasty.
Zhu Cilang had this idea before. He once thought that the Ming army was too useless, and that the officers and soldiers from Liaodong were low in morale and had no courage to fight.
Later he realized that he was wrong. If the war was so simple, he could just hold Sun Tzu's thirty-six strategies for the art of war. In fact, talking about war on paper would kill people. Many famous generals in the Chongzhen dynasty died from talking about war on paper by civil servants, including Emperor Chongzhen himself.
Wars are never what you take for granted. In fact, they are fighting for comprehensive national strength. Today's Ming Dynasty is simply unable to organize competitions of national strength. Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty, who fought against the Jin people, was defeated step by step.
The Jin people at that time, which is the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, had the same combat power as strong. The Song Dynasty was also invincible in the past, but now it is invincible in the world.
However, Yue Wumu's attack on Jin Wushu was unstoppable. In addition to the strict military discipline of the Yue family army and the soldiers dared to fight to the death. The strong logistical support was also one of the reasons for the Song army's victory.
At that time, Emperor Zhao Gou, who was quite controversial at the beginning, also devoted all his strength to support Yue Fei in fighting the Jin people. At that time, most of the taxes in the Southern Song Dynasty were used to support military expenditures.
However, the Ming Dynasty is now unable to protect itself, so what can it take to support the military expenditure? Liao pay has already cost half of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen is really unable to support Zhu Cixuan to suppress the enemy.
