Chapter 142 The Military System of the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 142 Ming Military System
He suddenly said something quietly.
For a moment, Xiao Zhao was left silent.
Dai Qisi is Xiao Zhao's weakness. Once Chen Xuan mentions it, Xiao Zhao can't help but worry.
She was afraid that Chen Xuan would find Dai Qisi.
But she thinks that the place where Dai Qisi is now should be the safest place in the world.
While she was thinking about it, Chen Xuan threw the bloody clothes to the ground.
This was the first time Xiao Zhao saw Chen Xuan's figure.
His figure is like a sculpture, with slightly bulging muscles and shallow muscle lines, which is very different from that rough guy who is covered in tendons.
He looks like a cheetah, a little thin, but if you look carefully at his occasional movements when reaching out, his secrets are still revealed.
That's almost perfect body control.
When he reaches out, his biceps and shoulder and back muscles will be naturally affected, thus faintly showing the outline of his strong muscles.
Just by seeing that little outline, you can vaguely imagine the shocking power when he swings his palm with all his strength and punches.
Different from the general martial arts masters who are good at Qi training, Chen Xuan not only has excellent internal skills, but also has muscles and bones that have been trained horizontally.
Xiao Zhao was fascinated by this, but she didn't expect Chen Xuan to suddenly turn around, which frightened her so much that she couldn't help but scream.
Fortunately, Chen Xuan didn't scare her, he just picked her up and walked into the hot spring pool on his own.
He was already covered in the smell of blood, but after soaking in the pool for a while, the smell dissipated.
Xiao Zhao was still tied up and couldn't move for a while, so she could only lean against him.
She was ashamed and scared, but Chen Xuan leaned against the pool and closed his eyes, as if he really didn't intend to tease her. Xiao Zhao gradually plucked up the courage and said tentatively.
"...You have changed a lot. Not only are you stronger, but your temperament is also very different from before."
Chen Xuan closed his eyes and concentrated, silent.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Zhao tried again.
"I originally thought that you would have some sword scars on your body as you walked alone in the world, but I didn't expect that you didn't have any wounds on your body."
"hurt?"
Chen Xuan finally reacted after hearing this and sneered.
"Ask Dai Qisi, she knows best what kind of injury hurts the most."
Thinking of how he was betrayed by Dai Qisi in Langhuan Paradise, Chen Xuan's heart was racing and he couldn't help but hold Xiao Zhao in his arms and want to deal with it.
Xiao Zhao was very scared for a moment and said anxiously.
"Can you please stop working so hard? It hurts my arm."
Chen Xuan heard this and said quietly.
"...Why don't you tell your brother Wuji to be gentle?"
Xiao Zhao was really angry and defended.
"He is not as disgusting as you! He is a gentleman!"
Chen Xuan sneered.
"A gentleman? How gentleman? How much of a gentleman? How can he bear it if I send you, a little crab, in front of him?"
Xiao Zhao was furious, "You..."
Chen Xuan's face darkened and he said coldly.
"What's wrong with me? Han Xiaozhao, I'll eat you up for the rest of my life!"
Xiao Zhao felt that he was so domineering, and for a while he didn't even want to argue with him.
I don't know why, but I don't feel bored in my heart. Instead, it feels a little bit sweet.
This time when Yuan soldiers attacked, Chen Xuan took action quickly.
In addition, although Yuan soldiers are well-equipped and well-trained, their martial arts skills are low after all.
Therefore, Chen Xuan was basically uninjured, but the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms from Xiao Feng's three brothers were indeed too powerful.
I accidentally injured the meridians when I used the Six Meridians Divine Sword before, and now I'm afraid I can only use two sects of power.
"It seems we must find a way to stabilize the situation as soon as possible."
Chen Xuan secretly frowned, while holding Xiao Zhao, pinching her from time to time, while secretly thinking about the next plan.
First of all, although there are many Mingjiao disciples, seventy-eight percent of them are distributed throughout the Central Plains, basically in a free-range state.
Even if I go to recall him with the Holy Fire Order, I'm afraid I won't be able to recall even one ten thousandth.
The reason is very simple. Mingjiao originated from Persia, and its real name is Manichaeism. It is similar to sects such as Buddhism and Taoism.
Therefore, seven out of ten of the millions of followers of the Ming Cult are unable to form a fighting force.
Most of those who can really listen to the call and preach are the tens of thousands of disciples of the Mingjiao Guangmingding General Altar.
The real elite of Mingjiao are actually the Five Elements Banner Soldiers taken away by Yang Xiao.
The Five Elements Flag Soldiers number less than 10,000, but they are all masters with extremely high martial arts skills and their own unique martial arts. Their strength is basically between third-rate masters and second-rate masters.
It can be said that the Five Elements Flag Soldiers are equivalent to the entire combat power of a large sect.
The most important thing is that the Five Elements Flag Soldiers belong to special forces.
Different from the general free-range sect disciples, those who join Five Elements Banner will receive special equipment distribution and battle formation drills, and the final effect will be enough to defeat one against ten.
in.
Each member of the Ruijin Banner cult has a set of bows and arrows, a long javelin, and a short flying axe. Their accuracy is extremely high, and it can be said that they can hit the target with every shot.
Members of the Jumu Banner sect are good at using giant trees. Every ten people carry a giant tree. Each giant tree weighs a thousand kilograms and is equipped with iron hooks.
Each person holds an iron hook and rolls the giant tree out to crush the enemy to death.
Flood Flag's weapon is a special hidden weapon that can emit water jets. The water is highly toxic and will fester if it touches the skin.
The weapon of the Fire Flag is similar to the Flood Flag, except that the concealed weapon can emit fire oil, and then use brimstone fire bombs to ignite the oil, causing large-scale damage.
The Houtu Banner is similar to an engineering unit, good at digging tunnels and conducting surprise attacks.
When the six sects besieged Guangmingding, the Houtu Banner Soldiers dug out a secret passage and let the Green Winged Bat King lead his men to surprise the Emei disciples from behind.
Chen Xuan can't study any more strange moves at the moment. The people in Five Elements Banner have been taken away by Yang Xiao, and he can't chase them back for a while.
Now there is only one way he can think of.
That is restructuring.
Disciples of the Ming Cult, and even disciples of most sects in the world, have an obvious problem.
That is, they mainly focus on practicing martial arts and often do not deliberately study battle formation coordination.
Even sects like Wudang Sect and Shaolin that have specialized sword formations and stick formations will not popularize these formations to the lowest level disciples.
This resulted in most Jianghu sects being unable to fight against the large-scale imperial army.
What Chen Xuan wanted to do was to directly reorganize the Mingjiao disciples according to the military system of the imperial court.
Chen Xuan himself didn't know much about the ancient military system. The only thing he had heard of was the military system of the Ming Dynasty.
In the military system of the Ming Dynasty, every 10 soldiers formed a "small flag".
5 small flags form a "general flag".
Two general banners form one hundred households.
10 hundred households form a thousand households.
There is one command for each of the 5 thousand households.
Chen Xuan was too lazy to use his brain, so he planned to apply this method and subdivide the Mingjiao disciples one by one, and lead them one by one with positions such as small flag officer, chief flag envoy, and hundreds of households, and report them up one by one.
In the end, only 2-3 commanders are needed, and you can just listen to his commands.
Although restructuring can solve the problem of operational efficiency.
But another big trouble is that Mingjiao disciples basically don’t have any standard equipment.
Not only is it a complete set of armor and protective equipment, it is not even equipped with swords, guns and clubs.
Mingjiao itself, like other major religions such as Buddhism and Taoism, is a place for chanting sutras and chanting gods.
It's not like the Daodao Sect or the Qingcheng Sect, which is a martial arts sect that dances with swords and swords.
Therefore, the disciples at the bottom of the Ming Cult are not only lacking in equipment, but also in terms of their own martial arts foundation.
This means that the disciples of the Mingjiao Guangmingding General Altar are all carefully selected.
Otherwise, there is no way for these people to tell. One day they were still carrying a hoe, and the next day they were Mingjiao disciples.
"It seems I can only pass on my skills."
Chen Xuan sighed secretly, he was not a very open person.
It would be really difficult for him to give away the peerless martial arts he had worked so hard to find to others.
But if he doesn't train these people from Mingjiao now, what will they do to fight Yuan Bing?
After hesitating for a while, Chen Xuan secretly thought about the martial arts he had learned.
Now he wanted to spread his martial arts skills, but he encountered difficulties.
"Beiming Divine Technique? This is Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts, Nine Yang Divine Technique? Nowadays, Wudang Emei is only a incomplete version, how can this thing be spread? What a great shift in the universe..."
After some pondering, Chen Xuan suddenly realized that he had never learned any ordinary martial arts. All of them were peerless martial arts that could not be passed on to others.
After several hesitations, he still chose two martial arts.
One is the "Dragon and Elephant Prajna Kung Fu", because this martial arts can stimulate the body's potential and exert extremely strong power, and is very suitable for use in close combat.
Furthermore, this skill was taught by the Tubo Esoteric Sect and has similarities with the Ming Sect.
The last and most important thing is that this "Dragon and Elephant Banruo Gong" is easy first and then difficult, so that it can be completed quickly.
Of course, it is impossible for Chen Xuan to pass on the complete secret book, only the first level.
In order to prevent those who are interested in deducing the contents of the subsequent secrets.
Even for the first-level introductory secret book, he had to delete and add new words, half of which was taught in plain text, and the other half was explained by a dedicated person.
In this way, at least it can be considered as multiple guarantees.
"Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" can certainly enhance the overall physical fitness of Mingjiao disciples, but it will definitely take a long time to master this martial arts.
In order to achieve quick success, Chen Xuan planned to sacrifice one more time and pass on another martial art to them.
That is, the "Heart-Destroying Palm" that he used quite smoothly.
Although this Heart-Destroying Palm is called "Heart-Destroying", the internal organs of those who hit it will be shattered, but the bones will not be broken, so the power is really not small.
The Heart-Destroying Palm and the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" are both martial arts recorded in the second volume of the "Nine Yin Manual".
The scripture says: "These two skills do not need to be based on internal skills. You can also start with external skills. When you make a move, you can kill people like grass without hearing a sound."
It can be said to be the most suitable move for beginners to get started quickly.
Of course, just in case, Chen Xuan does not plan to pass on the complete version of "Heart-Destroying Palm", even if this martial arts poses no threat to him at all.
First of all, you still need to delete and re-repair it yourself to blur out all the deep-seated principles of movement.
All words related to the Nine Yin Scriptures have also been deleted.
In the end, it still needs to be taught by dedicated disciples, and the complete secret manual cannot be given directly.
These two matters were imminent, and Chen Xuan had no time to think about them.
Rao was soaking in the pool one second, and the next second he stood up with Xiao Zhao, a little crab, in his arms to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
He began to memorize the secrets of "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" and "Heart-Destroying Palm".
Under the blessing of the system, he was born with full understanding, and he could be said to understand the key points of these two martial arts at once.
After writing down the secret manual, I simply deleted and differentiated it, and soon made two secret manuals that could be taught to Mingjiao disciples for practice.
Later, he wrote down the military system of the Ming Dynasty silently, and probably had a reference explanation.
Xiao Zhao was always held in Chen Xuan's arms, watching him silently write out martial arts secrets and military divisions, and he very smartly came up with Chen Xuan's idea.
However, she frowned and couldn't help but remind her.
"Sir, my followers all adhere to the light doctrine. If you restrict them like this, it will inevitably arouse the resentment of some followers. Furthermore, if these military regulations are spread, I am afraid that the imperial court will be furious, and we may be sentenced to death."
The charge of conspiracy with intent to commit rebellion.”
The brush in Chen Xuan's hand paused for a moment, and then he took the brush with his backhand and drew two circles on Xiao Zhao's body.
The stroke of the brush made Xiao Zhao tremble all over.
Chen Xuan pretended to sneer.
"Seeing as you are so smart, I will leave this matter to you. If anything goes wrong, I will deal with you again!"
Xiao Zhao didn't know that he might have had this intention for a long time, but she didn't want him to have to tease her like this.
She frowned secretly, saying she didn't want to, but somehow she slowly got used to it.
For Chen Xuan, this is all he can do at the moment.
As for other weapons and equipment, the supply of food and fodder for soldiers and horses, and whether it conflicts with Mingjiao teachings and other detailed and trivial matters, he didn't have time to deal with them.
He planned to leave all these matters to Xiao Zhao to take care of.
Although this girl is still young now, she has a lot of thoughts.
When the White-browed Eagle King led his people to defect, a maid came to inform him.
Obviously this girl is not without helpers in Mingjiao, at least she still has a few close followers.
Now the Ming Cult's Holy Envoys of Light, the Four Great Dharma Kings, the Five Disciples, and the Five Elements Banner Soldiers are all gone.
For Chen Xuan, it is not only a painful loss, but also a great opportunity.
As long as he can survive this disaster, he can truly gain a brand new Mingjiao that belongs only to him.
This Mingjiao not only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but also has vast grasslands at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains. When the time comes, it will also be able to compete with the Tianshan Mountains.
At that time, he can dominate the Western Regions, advance to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and retreat to become king and hegemon in the Western Regions!
But before that, Chen Xuan must first deal with the encirclement and suppression by the Yuan soldiers, as well as Zhang Wuji, the Four Dharma Kings and others.
Just as he was secretly planning, he suddenly heard Xiao Zhao begging for mercy in a low voice.
"Sir, can you let go of me for a while? I feel like my arms are bruised."
"..."
Chen Xuan glanced at her faintly.
I saw her pretty face, which was flushed, and her eyes were moving. Her cute little face looked even more charming and charming under the candlelight.
For a moment, Chen Xuan made up his mind to wait for Dai Qisi to come back before dealing with her.
At this moment, I couldn't help but feel my heart tremble, I really wanted to take this little goblin away first and then talk about it.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, I heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
However, Gan Baobao and Dao Baifeng strolled in, and the two girls saw Chen Xuan sitting at the table holding Xiao Zhao.
Gan Baobao couldn't help but joke.
"What's wrong? This girl really doesn't understand anything, and you still have to draw a diagram to teach her?"
