Zhu Xiong Ying almost revealed the sixteen-character secret of guerrilla warfare, but then thought it inappropriate. It wasn't that he was reluctant, but rather that guerrilla warfare wasn't necessarily suitable for harassing Mongolia or training troops in the present day.
Zhu Xiong Ying instructed Xu Yun Gong, "Take most of the three thousand cavalry with you. This time, I'm giving you three thousand cavalry. There are no restrictions or requirements on how well you fight or what results you achieve."
The Three Thousand Cavalry was one of the three major imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty, and it was mainly composed of Mongol cavalry.
This was Xu Yungong's first real battle as commander, so his previous training exercises were no longer relevant. After all, this was a true war, no small matter.
Zhu Xiong Ying thought for a moment and asked, "Should we assist him with a lieutenant general?"
Xu Yungong naturally understood Zhu Xiong Ying's meaning, which was probably that he didn't quite trust him and wanted to be accompanied by a good subordinate general, etc.
"Your Highness, I am willing to sign a military pledge!" Xu Yungong said excitedly, "If..."
Zhu Xiong Ying interrupted with a smile, saying there was no need to exaggerate. "It's good that you're confident. Be prepared. I'll discuss the selection of men and supplies with the Duke of Ying again. Basically, there shouldn't be any major problems."
A pledge of military authority can indeed be useful sometimes. However, it's not always so useful.
Zhu Xiong Ying had high hopes for Xu Yun Gong, because he was bound to be of great use in the future. Extensive training and real-world combat experience were essential for improving his skills, and Zhu Xiong Ying eagerly anticipated Xu Yun Gong's performance.
Zhu Xiong Ying had no psychological barriers to using war to train people, or even to use human lives to improve soldiers and generals.
A merciful ruler cannot command an army. If we talk about loving peace and valuing human life now, more innocent people may die in the future, and the borders may be engulfed in flames of war.
Although Mongolia is currently fragmented into various tribes, these nomadic peoples possess a strong capacity for recovery. Given time, they will return on horseback, brandishing their scimitars.
Being soft-hearted is impossible; without a strong military, how can there be peace? Without a strong military, how can we protect our homeland?
Whether it's soldiers, prisoners of war who have been gradually assigned to their posts, or convicts and other criminals, Zhu Xiong Ying shows no mercy. When the time comes to be ruthless, he will certainly be ruthless.
Let's think about training the eagle for now. Li Shanchang will be here soon, and Zhu Xiong Ying is looking forward to this encounter.
