This time, Wu Zheng only brought one hundred escorts to the capital under the order.

According to the title of King Wu, the maximum number of escorts can reach 864 people.

But according to what Wu Zheng said, if something really happens, there is no difference between more than 800 people and one hundred people.

Rather than being criticized, it is better to be generous.

The Northern Expedition Army along the way was retreating south. It was peaceful. Even if it was temporary, it was a joy to see the parents, wives and children at home.

The important thing is that if you win, you not only win, but you also tore off the most plump piece of meat on the Qing court.

No, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that in the past decade, the scene where the Han people were suppressed and beaten by Manchus was overturned after this war, and more than a hundred cavalry could cause thousands of them to disperse, will never be returned.

This is very important, confidence is important at all times. Even if you suffer heavy casualties, you cannot hide the smiles of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army from the bottom of your heart.

As the King of Wu carriage headed north, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army all solemnly saluted their commander along the way. The respect in their eyes was beyond the reach of a prince who had obtained the throne through hereditary power.

It is a kind of respect, awe and...kindness from the heart.

Wu Zheng had no interest in protruding his head and interacting with the soldiers. He stayed quietly in the carriage, closing his eyes to rest.

Compared to Ma Shiying's commonplace, Li Yong and Song Yingxing, who was finally dragged into the car, were looking at it all the way.

To be honest, they had never seen this Northern Expedition Army, which was said to have made the enemy "feared" in person before.

Spiritual energy is the most infectious, not to mention the spiritual energy of tens of thousands of soldiers who have been triumphantly.

"If there are such a hundred thousand tigers, the world can get... Besides, my king has more than two hundred thousand tigers." Li Yong looked at Wu Zheng with his eyes closed. Wu Zheng seemed to be asleep. It was obvious that Li Yong said this to Ma Shiying.

Song Yingxing also nodded in agreement.

Yes, if there were such an elite army in the Ming Dynasty, it would be better to deploy only 100,000 troops, and only 30,000 troops in Liaodong, which would be enough to make it difficult for the Manchus to surpass the thunder pool.

Ma Shiying laughed and said, "Brother Zhongfu, if the prince wants to conquer the throne, he would have already had the strength to sweep the northern sting three years ago."

Li Yong was slightly stunned, looked at Wu Zheng, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't the prince's ambition here?"

Ma Shiying said proudly: "Regaining lost land and restoring China is his duty, but it is called ambition. As far as the prince's heart is concerned... it is small."

"Please give me advice!" Li Yong solemnly bowed to Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying seemed even more proud. He was respected many times in his life, including Master Ma, Grand Secretary Ma, Ma Xiang, Prime Minister, etc. Only at this moment, respectfully praised by famous scholars like Li Yong, did he feel that this life was not in vain. His heart was as comfortable as drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup in the hot summer.

"Buddling the world and showing off its mighty overseas... Wherever there is a sun and moon flag, it is the land of my Han people!" Ma Shiying became a little excited. This is rare. It would be even more rare for a "traitor" who had been as good as a loach for almost his whole life to emit the spirit of a young man like a bloody young man.

Li Yong and Song Yingxing looked at each other in surprise and slowly looked at each other's head.

"Old Ma, don't flash your waist." At some point, Wu Zheng had already opened his eyes and said jokingly at Ma Shiying, who was passionate and passionate.

Ma Shiying's old face turned red and she smiled: "I'm talking about the young man... I made the prince laugh."

Wu Zheng nodded slightly and turned to Li Yong, "I have a little knowledge of your knowledge. I have applied four words to the clear style. I agree with it deeply. The truth is not empty. Learning is important to achieve practical results. Learning is not enough to achieve things and help the times. The general's mansion has been governed by military and pastor for several years, and has been criticized by the world. Now that the war is over, there is a rare opportunity to breathe. I can give you the opportunity to display your talents and let you do it. I hope you will live up to my sincere expectations."

Li Yong's eyes lit up, and he was blessed to his heart and said solemnly: "The prince treats Li Yong as a national soldier, and Li Yong will definitely repay him with a national trainer."

"Okay, very good." Wu Zheng turned to Song Yingxing, "What do sir think of the strengths and weaknesses of our army?"

Song Yingxing was slightly stunned, and thought for a while before saying, "Our army is a great victory. A mighty army has its only strengths, so how can it have its shortcomings?"

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "It is said that flattery can contagious people. A leisurely person like Mr., was he actually infected by Ma Shiying?"

Song Yingxing said seriously: "There are mountains outside the mountain, and no one is perfect. No matter how elite Tiger Ben is, he is not completely without weaknesses. But if he can defeat the enemy, then there is no need to worry about his shortcomings or defects."

Wu Zheng was slightly stunned, then opened his eyes and said, "Mr. He said he was right. There is no perfect army in this world. If you force it, it seems that I am pretending and nitpicking... Then please give me advice, what else can our army improve and improve?"

Seeing Wu Zheng doing good, Song Yingxing rubbed his short beard and said, "I don't know the army, but looking at it all the way, I'm a little aware of one or two... Our army is full of fighting spirit and morale, which is necessary for an elite force, but there are also enemies. I personally think that what our army lacks is speed, and it is difficult to travel with horses like a stubborn enemy, and can travel hundreds of miles overnight... The principle of imperial power is ten steps away and within a thousand miles. I think the prince should be familiar with it."

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "Sir, indeed, his eyes are sharp. Just by this glance, I know our army's weaknesses... Is there any?"

Song Yingxing thought for a while and continued: "Looking at our army's weapons, they are nothing more than firearms. Although the firearms are sharp, they are not completely detrimental. For example, gunpowder replenishment and transportation, and are somewhat affected by the weather. When facing the enemy, if the enemy attacks with the advantage of fast cavalry speed, even if our army wins, it is probably a tragic victory..."

After listening to Song Yingxing quietly, Wu Zheng solemnly bowed: "Sir, I know our army is short. So after today, I still have to rely on Mr. to make up for our army's shortcomings."

Song Yingxing was stunned and said in embarrassment: "Even if I have the will, I cannot help the prince..."

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "I have already dealt with it, but I lack a capable person like Mr. who can put my thoughts into practice. Now that I have a gentleman, I can rest assured."

Song Yingxing asked in surprise: "The prince really has a solution to these problems?"

Wu Zheng nodded and asked, "Sir, do you hear that the General's Mansion is building a railway from Hangzhou to Wusong over the past year?"

Song Yingxing nodded and said, "I heard something... I just don't understand, how can this railway make two legs faster than four legs?"

Wu Zheng laughed, "Sir, you will understand after seeing it with your own eyes... I promise that only when the railway is built, the imperial power mentioned by Mr. will be changed to imperial power within a thousand miles, and the speed advantage of the northern Tartars war horses will be quickly compensated and replaced."

Song Yingxing was shocked when he heard this.
