"This is Houjin, my Great Ming's strongest enemy!”
Huang Degong clenched his fists again, and his breathing quickened.
Cao Zhengchun quickly retreated, afraid that this lunatic was acting up again.
"If you're acting up again, I'll let you go to the Cooks 'Army to feed the pigs.”
After Wei Zhongxian said that, Huang Degong's breathing became steady and he smiled awkwardly.
"If I didn't guess wrong, Hou Jin should be sharpening his knife and treating Big Ming as a fat lamb!”
"Daren, is our Great Ming afraid of these barbarians?”
After Huang Degong finished his words, Wei Zhongxian smiled. It was precisely because of this thought that the Ming Dynasty was unable to withstand a single blow under the iron hooves of these barbarians.
"Barbarians? Let me ask you, how many years have you been in the army?"
Huang Degong was stunned for a moment before he bowed and replied.
"Sir, I joined the army at the age of fourteen and have been in the army for ten years now.”
"Hmph, you've been in the army for ten years and only managed to become a small lieutenant. If you haven't met me, I'm afraid you'll be in your current position in ten years.”
After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, Huang Degong was moved to tears.
"This subordinate thanks Milord for promoting me, I will swear my loyalty to Milord.”
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, his mood finally improved.
"I'm asking you, you've been in the army for ten years, have you ever been on the battlefield?”
Huang Degong was stunned again. He had been in the army for ten years, but he had never been on the battlefield.
"This subordinate did not!"
"What do you think of the army in the past ten years? Do you think that there is an army that can fight among the nine guards of my Great Ming?”
Wei Zhongxian's words stunned Huang Degong.
He had been in the army for ten years, so he was still familiar with the situation in the army.
He had never thought about Wei Zhongxian's words. If there was a battle, would the Ming Dynasty's Nine Guards have an army that could fight?
Relying on those silkpants of the general sects?
It was already difficult for them to get on their horses.
Many of the old generals in the court had never been on the battlefield, let alone these young people.
Or those soldiers who spent their days in the military camp and couldn't even hold their sabers steadily?
Four of the Ming Dynasty's Nine Guards guarded the imperial capital. Huang Degong had stayed in these four guards before. In the end, he chose to join the Imperial Guards.
It wasn't because of the high pay of the Imperial Guards, but because Huang Degong felt that they were like an army.
Compared to the previous four guards, the Imperial Guards had at least daily drills, while the other four guards didn't even have daily drills!
Expecting them to fight? Huang Degong felt his back getting wet.
Da Ming seemed to have not experienced war for a long time!
"I'm sure you don't believe me if I tell you more about the military situation.”
Wei Zhongxian's words made Huang Degong nod heavily.
"Do you know what the Houjin army is going through?”
Huang Degong was stunned and shook his head woodenly.
Wei Zhongxian smiled and continued.
"If I'm not wrong, Ahinda's iron hooves have already conquered that vast grassland. He's cleaning up the Eight Banners!”
"It is not an exaggeration to say that his army has been through hundreds of battles. Do you think…that I, Da Ming, can block their iron hooves?”
After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, Huang Degong was like a deflated balloon, his spirit dispirited.
"No…I can't!"
When he said these two words, Huang Degong seemed to have used up all his strength!
"Look here!"
Wei Zhongxian pointed at two islands the size of peanuts on the map, and Huang Degong looked over.
"This is the Wei Nation, a tiny place, and they are also eyeing our Ming customs like tigers eyeing their prey!”
"And here, do you know where this is?”
Huang Degong shook his head. He couldn't tell, but he knew that this was the Great Ming Dynasty.
"This is Nanzhao. There is a jackal here, a jackal reared by Great Ming himself. Prince Rong's 200,000 strong army is here!”
Huang Degong was stunned, and so was Cao Zhengchun!
"Everyone in the world thinks that I, Wei Zhongxian, am up to no good. It's ridiculous, but they can't see the person who really hid his fangs.”
Wei Zhongxian put his hands behind his back and looked melancholic.
"Milord, don't be sad. His Majesty will understand your good intentions.”
Huang Degong tried to persuade him. From Wei Zhongxian's mouth, he understood for the first time that this Great Ming was actually already in ruins and on the verge of collapse.
"Who's sad? Which eye of yours saw me sad?”
Wei Zhongxian immediately turned around and roared. Count on that little kid?
To think that Huang Degong, this idiot, could say that!
"I said so much because I want to tell you why I want to build the East Wind Battalion!”
Huang Degong was stunned. At this moment, he suddenly became extremely smart.
He fell to his knees with a thud, scaring Cao Zhengchun who was beside him.
"This subordinate deserves to die. I didn't understand your good intentions. This subordinate is willing to help you solve your problems and form the East Wind Battalion!”
Wei Zhongxian finally smiled. Luckily, this idiot reacted. Otherwise, his saliva would have been wasted.
Fortunately, he wasn't stupid. Wei Zhongxian nodded.
Cao Zhengchun also knelt on the ground. He was actually slower than Huang Degong, this idiot?
Shame, shame!
"This subordinate is willing to share your worries and solve your problems!”
"Alright, Zhengchun, get up. Leave this matter to Huang Degong. He's more suitable than you.”
Cao Zhengchun stood up again after hearing that. He didn't have any other thoughts. Anyway, he would do whatever the adults said.
"Huang Degong, listen up!"
Wei Zhongxian looked at Huang Degong, who was kneeling on the ground, and his expression immediately became serious.
"This subordinate is here. Please give me your orders, sir. I will die for you!”
Huang Degong was trembling with excitement. It had always been his dream to join the army and guard the border.
Hearing Wei Zhongxian talk about the situation that Da Ming was facing, he was extremely worried.
However, he had never felt so close to his dream.
"From today onwards, I order you to be in charge of building the East Wind Battalion. You can draw five hundred elites from the East Chamber, the Inspectorate, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards to form the prototype of the East Wind Battalion.”
"In addition, those who are drawn into the East Wind Camp will have their food and salary increased by five times! I give you three days to complete the construction and bring it to the Governor's Office to report.”
After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, Huang Degong kowtowed heavily.
"Your subordinate will not fail your mission!"
Then, Wei Zhongxian helped him up. He realized that this rough man was actually crying.
"Remember, once you leave this door, you can only bury what you heard today in your heart.”
After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, Huang Degong nodded heavily.
Then, he took Wei Zhongxian's seal and tiger head token and left without looking back.
"Sir, is the situation really as grim as you say?”
Cao Zhengchun asked in puzzlement. He still didn't quite believe that the Darming Dynasty was actually so unstable.
"It's even more unbearable than what I said!"
Cao Zhengchun was stunned.
"Help me bring Huang Jin here now. Be careful…don't be discovered!”
"Yes, my lord!"
Cao Zhengchun accepted the order and left, leaving Wei Zhongxian alone in the room.
Closing his eyes, Wei Zhongxian started to ponder again.
Not long after, Cao Zhengchun finally rushed back with Huang Jing.
