Chapter 950 Shocked
William did not refuse Jiang Lang's invitation at all and agreed to go to the appointment on time the next day!
Jiang Lang invited the best chef in the capital. Although this reputation is not as good as the imperial chef in the palace, it does not mean that this skill is not as good as the imperial chef.
Hearing that the person who was looking for the chef was Lord Wang from the Dongchang, no one had any objections, and it was their honor to be able to curry favor with this master. So the shopkeeper of the largest restaurant in the capital agreed to borrow the person without saying a word. At the same time, Jiang Lang was not worried at all, and gave it to him with this person.
Jiang Lang is not greedy for this little cheaper person, so he naturally sent someone to send the money.
The cook immediately respected all his abilities. After a busy morning, he finally prepared more than ten dishes. Who doesn’t know about Jiang Lang’s fame? Like Wang Zhen, he has great power, but unlike Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen focused all his energy on how to take power, while Jiang Lang focused on how to make the people live a better life. The people are all people who remember their kindness, and of course they know who is the one who is good to them!
At noon, William arrived here on time. Their concept of time was very heavy, so he came here on time. Of course, he did not forget to bring a gift!
Jiang Lang is now greeting him at the door. When he saw him coming, he smiled slightly and said, "Mr. William, welcome!"
William smiled at the same time and said, "Hello, Lord Wang, I don't respect you at all!"
Jiang Lang took the thing and handed it to the servant next to him, then said: "Mr. William, please come in!":
William nodded and walked inside. Seeing the courtyard, it was not very big. He said in surprise: "Mr. Wang, is this your home?"
Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "Yes, this is my home!"
"Why is it so small?"
William said strangely, "If you were in our country, you would be the Duke. Well, you should give you a big manor and a lot of land!"
What William said is that the system of Western countries, and the reward for those victory is land, etc. According to William's understanding, Jiang Lang has made great contributions now. The occupation of such a wide land is enough to reward a lot of land. You must know that this is the case in the two major families in China now!
Jiang Lang smiled faintly and then said, "Mr. William, these countries have their national conditions. Our national conditions are not the same as your national conditions. Your model has also appeared very early on our land, but it was eliminated because the emperor did not allow this situation to happen, threatening their rule!"
Their system is somewhat similar to that of the Chinese princely system, and it has fiefs for ministers who have made contributions. However, this system has great hidden dangers. Once it becomes stronger, they may seize power. Now this is the concentration of military power, which can be regarded as a historical progress.
William nodded in a slight sense of understanding and said, "I also want to know something about your history, but it's a pity that I can't understand your words!"
Speaking of this, William shrugged helplessly. He couldn't see the Chinese characters of the Ming Dynasty. The reason why he decided to come to the Ming Dynasty was because the Ming Dynasty had a translator and had guaranteed language communication. He came here. Once he didn't understand the language of the Ming Dynasty at all!
Jiang Lang also understood and smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. Chinese characters are actually not difficult to learn. It doesn't take much time. If you are really interested, it's better to teach you your translation!"
William thought about it and said, "No, good, this is a good idea, and your country is so amazing. I really want to take a good look. This is a magical land. I am so lucky to be able to come!"
When they finished speaking, the two of them had already walked into the house!
"Please sit!"
Jiang Lang signaled William to sit down. After he sat down, Jiang Lang said, "Then I welcome you on behalf of the people of the Ming Dynasty. We have many famous places here, including the so-called Three Mountains and Five Mountains, you can go and see these!"
"I will definitely go and see Jianglang when he has time!"
William said, thinking about it, then continued to ask, "By the way, Lord Wang, what you told me yesterday!"
"You are talking about military exercises!"
Jiang Lang asked with a smile!
"yes!"
William nodded and said, "My Lord yesterday, please ask the emperor for instructions!"
Jiang Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, the emperor has agreed, but he is also a little regretful!"
"What a pity!"
William asked immediately, a little nervous! If the emperor did not agree, wouldn’t he be able to see anything? But Jiang Lang said it was OK, so what’s the problem now!
Jiang Lang thought about it and then said: "Because it is the Chinese New Year, some soldiers are going home on holiday, while the rest are on combat readiness. We can not use a lot of troops at one time, so this large-scale military exercise is impossible, so what we are preparing for is an ordinary military exercise, that is, a small military exercise!
"A small military exercise?"
William pondered for a moment!
"right!"
Jiang Lang smiled and nodded and said, "It's a small military exercise. The military exercises we can use are three warships. Of course, they are the main warships that our Ming Dynasty is now equipped with. The purpose of the exercise is to discover a material supply location of hundreds of people on an island. After being discovered by our spies, they reported it to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War requires the fleet to destroy this stronghold. Because the number of enemies on this island is not very large, we plan to use three warships to eliminate these enemies. The content of the exercise is to receive the enemy who set out to be eliminated!"
This method is completely the way of military exercises in society later. Jiang Lang was naturally very familiar with it, so this came casually. William was a little confused when he heard it. You should know that although their country also trained the army, there was no military exercise at all. Perhaps he didn't understand the term military exercise!
After hearing this, William couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked, "Isn't this just a practical battle?"
"yes!"
Jiang Lang replied, "Our military exercises are close to actual combat, or in other words, they are completely practical combat. In this way, soldiers will not panic when they encounter wars. This is also a strategy for training. Only soldiers who are close to actual combat will have more experience when they go to the battlefield. If they are used to actual combat, they will not be afraid even if they are really practical, and their morale will be stable!"
"Then you can defeat yes, is that the reason for those two countries?"
William asked, naturally he knew what the Ming Dynasty was fighting during this period, but the Watshu and Gao Qiang are not in English now, and William still doesn't know what to say once!
“It has a lot to do!”
Jiang Lang nodded. Although this is a way to impart experience to others, it is very difficult to learn the whole set!
William couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He originally did not have a deep understanding of this Eastern country. He originally thought that they were only economically developed, but he did not expect that they would be like this in military affairs. He used practical combat to train the army. In this way, even in peacetime, the country's requirements for the army were very strict. The most important point is that their army has always been in actual combat in this form, so no matter when, their army exists as if in combat. In this way, even if a war occurs, and rude words to their soldiers are just something they have to do in normal times, so even if
When they go to the battlefield, they will not feel fear, because they are used to it! And what is most frightening is that in actual combat, they can find their weaknesses and correct them. In this way, their army will have no weaknesses in the end. In the end, such an army will be a very terrifying army. This is why they can win two countries in one battle, but the soldiers of their own country have never had this kind of training method except training. In this way, if one day their warships drive to their own country, we will use us to block this aggressive army?
William felt his scalp numb, and when he thought of it, he felt a little headache. What should he compete with his country in such a military? The only thing that is fortunate is that his country is separated from them in Taiyuan. Now they should not be interested in their country!
Of course, William also decided to take a closer look at the military power of the Ming Dynasty in a few days. How strong is it!
So he immediately asked, "So sir, when will we start?"
"When will Lord William hope to start?"
Jiang Lang asked with a smile. William seemed to want to know the power of his army very much. Well, let him see. Isn’t there a saying that goes, you won’t know if you don’t look at it, you’re shocked when you look at it!
"Of course the faster the better!"
William did not hide his urgency at all. He is very interested in this army now, and he is eager to know that in this way, he can send the most complete information back, and it will be worthwhile to come to this Eastern country!
Jiang Lang thought for a while and then said, "That's better we'll show up tomorrow. There is no harbor in this capital. We can only reunite with the fleet after arriving in Tianjin and then go out to sea. How about it!"
"sure!"
William wished he could fly to Tianjin now and take a good look at the Ming army!
Chapter completed!
