Chapter 82 Long-term Problems

"Let a person with a grudge enter the General Staff, I think you really need to use a whip!" Zhu Bashiyi was amused by the veteran's words and laughed, and the last few regrets in his heart were wiped out.

After laughing, he thought about it again and emphasized seriously: "Iwan, to be honest, I have never regarded you as a slave! Not only me, but also no one in the entire Xuzhou Zuo Army has ever regarded you as a slave!"

"It is God's grace to Ivan to meet his master!" Ivanov solemnly drew a cross on his forehead and chest and responded carelessly.

He was not as sensitive to the word "slave" as Zhu Bashiyi. Now, not only his hometown, the Golden Horde, but raising slaves is a very natural phenomenon. Even if he had traveled to Europe, it is now a trend to accumulate slaves. Not only did he arrest black people from the nearby Egypt area to be slaves, white people who were willing to sell themselves as slaves because of debts and gambling can also be seen everywhere on the streets.

"It is a good idea to do anything for the slave to his master, but you have military pay. My relationship with you now is more like a shopkeeper and a friend. I paid to hire you and you work for me, that's all!" Seeing that Ivanov didn't take his explanation seriously, Zhu Bashiyi thought about it and continued to add.

Influenced by the part of the soul from the 21st century, he had an instinctive resentment towards the mutual enslavement between people. Therefore, even though he knew it was futile, he tried to correct this concept.

"Oh!" Ivanov blinked his eyes a few times, and he seemed to understand it. But soon, the old guy's thinking jumped three times. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Bashiyi's eyes, and asked with a saliva face, "Then, can I quit at any time?"

"Get out!" Zhu Bashiyi pretended to kick on the horse's back. Suddenly, he saw the desire hidden in his eyes of the veteran puppet, and thought about it again, and responded with a smile, "Five years! No resignation is allowed within five years. In five years, you can resign at any time! If you want to leave within five years, just pay me a penalty for liquidated damages according to the double your current salary and the remaining years. As long as the payment is clear, I will allow you to leave immediately!"

"Really?!" The veteran Pi couldn't believe his ears, and excitedly stretched out ten fingers and began to calculate how much he would pay the governor. However, his calculation level was not very smart. He used all ten fingers, but he didn't calculate the specific number clearly. He looked down and began to bend down to pick his boots.

"Don't forget it, taking out all the gold on you may not be enough!" Xu Hongsan couldn't stand it, so he raised his foot and kicked the veteran's butt, scolding angrily. "Let's go, go, just want to leave! You ungrateful wolf who is not familiar with, what is the governor sorry for you? Are you so anxious to leave?"

"Uh!" Veteran Piewan was kicked and staggered. While rubbing his butt, he explained loudly, "I just calculated, calculate it! I didn't say I'll leave now! Governor, why are you sure to defeat the Mongols in five years? "

"Why is it five years?" Zhu Bashiyi just said casually, how could he explain clearly why it was five years?! At this moment, he heard the veteran Pig ask seriously, ponder for a moment, and explained with a smile: "I am not sure whether I can defeat the Mongols within five years, but in five years, the situation will definitely be much clearer than now. At that time, maybe I will whip you with a whip, and you will cry and shout and refuse to leave!"

"How is that possible!" The veteran pixie now has a few money in his pocket and is very heartbroken. He doesn't believe that he will miss his days in Xuzhou Army.

He said whatever he thought in his heart. But it made Xu Hongsan and other personal soldiers angry, surrounded him one by one, and knocked his fingers on the veteran's helmet, "How is it impossible?! How are you talking about it?! The governor led us and even drove away twice the Asu people. In time, how can it be impossible to defeat the Tartars?!"

"I, it's not that, it's not that!" The person the veteran Pig is most afraid of is Xu Hongsan. He didn't dare to fight back and explained loudly with his head in his arms, "I mean, how could I like to stay here? No, no, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, even if I like this place, after I have money, I must go home to show off, otherwise the money will be in vain! Really, I really mean, that's what I mean just now, I swear!"

"You're changing quickly!" Xu Hongsan and others stopped beating and rubbing their red knuckles to threaten.

Looking back, he confirmed to Zhu Bashiyi with some hope, "In five years, we will definitely defeat the Tartar court. Governor, do you think so?!"

"I'm not sure!" Zhu Bashiyi tried hard to recall historical knowledge, but could not think of how many years it was before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. There was no way, that dead house Zhu Dapeng was too lazy and had no preparations before his soul traveled through. Otherwise, he would have to study for a doctorate in history, metallurgy, chemistry, politics and mechanical manufacturing, which would save himself from being tired every day like a dead dog for more than seven months, but he had not even established a stable base.

"However, I can be sure that the Mongolians will definitely be driven away!" He couldn't bear to disappoint Xu Hongsan and others, so he added confidently. "Even if it can't be done within five years, it will definitely be done in ten or fifteen years!"

"Magic! Governor is majestic." Xu Hongsan and others immediately shouted excitedly, dancing one by one.

However, because Ivanov served in the Mongolian Yuan army, he knew the power of this empire. He secretly turned his head aside so that he would not be scolded by Xu Hongsan and others to see the suspicion in his eyes and be scolded again.

"Actually, the reason is very simple!" Zhu Bashiyi saw Ivanov's reaction keenly, smiled, and explained loudly to everyone around him, "The Mongols have occupied the Central Plains for so many years, but they have not really regarded themselves as the master of this country for a day! Apart from endless exploitation, they have hardly done anything that benefits the people. Therefore, except for their own tribe, others are probably not very loyal to this court!"

"That's right!" Ivanov himself had no loyalty to the Mongolian Yuan court. He pointed to others and nodded very happily to admit it.

"Many people surrender to them because of their force. Now, we have also fought with the Mongolians twice! You guys say that the strength of the Mongolians is really as powerful as legends?!" Zhu Bashiyi's eyes swept across everyone's faces and continued to talk.

Some of these words were seen on the Internet in later generations, and a large part of them were summarized by him based on his observations and actual combat over the past six months. Therefore, they were very easy to be accepted by people around him. Not only did Xu Hongsan and other personal soldiers nodded frequently when they heard it. Even Ivanov, who was originally not optimistic about the future of the Xuzhou army, put away his lazy smile and stared at the temporary camp not far away, thinking about it.

The so-called strength of the Mongols mostly comes from the memories of their ancestors. At that time, more than 20,000 Mongolians drove cattle and sheep and swept across half of Eurasia. The ancestors of the Rakshasa people fought with ten times the force, but they were killed without even three days of persistence. So until now, the Mongolian master living in the castle casually sent an order, and no one dared to refuse to obey the entire Rakshasa grassland.

As for whether the descendants of the Mongols are as good as their ancestors, no one has ever considered the entire Rakshasa grassland seriously. He did not dare to consider it, for fear of suffering the same catastrophe as that of the past. In the Xuzhou offensive and defensive battle more than four months ago, Old Ivan saw with his own eyes that the usually mighty Mongolian cavalrymen, who had been so arrogant, ran away like a frightened sheep after discovering that the commander Wulabuhua was killed. The collapse speed was at least twice as fast as their Rakshasa soldiers, and while escaping, he shamelessly threw down his helmets and weapons, for fear that these things would affect their speed.

It seemed as if a mountain slowly cracked a gap in front of him. Zhu Bashiyi's voice was like lightning, slashing the mountain one after another, slashing the gap even bigger and bigger. "The Mongols were no longer as strong as their ancestors. The reason why there were not so many people to resist was because there were too few people who discovered this matter! If we could defeat the soldiers sent by the court again and again like yesterday, no matter whether the Asu people, the Mongols, or other people came, they would be defeated again and again. Sooner or later, everyone could see that the Mongols were weak. By then, there would be uprisings like us everywhere in the world, and the Mongols and Yuan court could not be wiped out at all!"

"Boom!" Ivanov seemed to see a mountain split in front of him, his body shaking, and instantly shivering like a sieve. The Mongols could no longer do it, but they would no longer do it. Those who hid in the castle were all fat and stupid cowards, and it was impossible to kill the Rakshasa people like their ancestors.

In a trance, he heard Xu Hongsan ask in a trembling voice: "Governor, at that time, you will take everyone to the northern expedition and fight to the capital? Will you? Will you arrest the Tartar emperor and sell it like a pig?! Governor, are you planning to do this all the time?!"

"Someone will definitely lead everyone to the northern expedition, but it's not me, I can't guarantee it!" Zhu Bashiyi was also excited by the prospect he described. He thought about it and answered according to his impression of the official history in his mind.

He did not remember the Northern Expedition in the official history of the Ming army, but he knew clearly the most heartwarming sentence in the Northern Expedition manifesto, "Punish the barbarians, eliminate riots, and curse China's shame." He was deeply excited and proud of it. Even though these words may not be from his writings in the future.

"It must be the governor!" Xu Hongsan and others waved their arms excitedly and emphasized loudly. "No one in the world has the qualifications except the governor!"

"Yes, except for the governor, who in the world has this qualification?!"

"We just obey the governor, but no one else can accept it!"

The other personal soldiers also started to shout in a panic.

Veteran Pievanov's reaction was always inconsistent with others. After coming back from his trance, he looked at Zhu Bashiyi blankly, as if there was a circle of holy light on his head. It was not until the excitement of Xu Hongsan and others passed that suddenly a strange sentence came out, "Governor, will you be the emperor yourself?"
