C1429 selfishness and justice (2/2)
”Stop dreaming about the glory of the Xiang Army. There are no more Xiang Army. From the day I released the Nanshan, I knew that it would be impossible for the Xiang Army to be revived!”
”Cough, cough, cough …” Because our Xiang Army has no roots! You know what? We have no roots! That's why I've always opposed you taking any step, because walking on it is a dead end! ”
”What is a Xiang Army? Hahaha … ”It's just a group of farmers who want to protect their homes, a group of citizens who have enmity with the long-haired and finally a group of adventurers who covet wealth and fortune …”
”Think about it carefully, didn't our Xiang Army consist of these three groups of people? Afraid that their family would be destroyed and they would fall to the Xiang Army in order to protect their homeland, the citizens who had enmity with the long-haired people all joined the Xiang Army. In the end, it was a group of adventurers who wanted to raise their ranks and make a fortune, following them … ”
”What can such an army do? ”In fact, you have already seen it clearly in your heart. This kind of army will get stronger the closer they get to their hometown. Once they leave their hometown, they will have to use silver to motivate them!”
”Why did they call us Ceng Titou? There's no other way! The imperial government does not have money, and the army still needs to fight. If you don't allow soldiers to rob and play with women, they will not be able to fight! ”
”Cough, cough, cough …” Ceng Guofan violently coughed for a long time before he managed to recover.
”But Xiao Letian is different. His army has ideas, and they have souls! You have also studied his examples of battles, where Xiao Letian was able to move his own small classroom into the big headed soldier's company! And he wants the entire army to be able to read! ”
”Not only that, he even brought up the concept of the Chinese race and set up a Six Classes, Eighteen levels …” It is because he has injected his soul into the army that the Chinese Army never uses money in battles! ”
”Incredible!” With so many life and death battles and life in exchange for life in the midst of the white blade combat, Xiao Letian did not use a single copper coin to boost his morale? ”With a single command, all men shall obey!”
”Old Ninth!” Only such an army can compete with foreign devils, and only such an army can leave their hometowns and fight against foreign devils.
”I, Ceng Guofan, am jealous! I'm so jealous! If I were to also be in the foreign devil's territory and win that battle, even if I die, my eyes would be at peace! ”
The hysterical Ceng Guofan smacked the bed as he coughed violently. But I... Cough cough cough … But I will always be Ceng Titou, and I will kill my own people in this lifetime … Cough, cough, cough! ”
Jiu Shuai was shocked, it was the first time he had seen his brother lose his composure like this, only today did he realize that all his thoughts were strayed into the wrong path.
”Fight for power!” The private army had never been allowed to participate! Xiang Army was at most a local warlord! It seems like 500,000 people are like mountains and rivers, but in reality, it's just a joke in the heart of a foreign devil! ” Jiu Shuai laughed bitterly.
Big brother is right, we cannot be like Xiao Letian, we are inferior to him! ”Our army is actually just a local private army, but his army is truly a national army!”
”Forget it, forget it!” I understand what you mean, big brother, you want me to continue protecting Jiangnan in your place? Give Xiao Letian a few more years of development time? ”
Jiu Shuai wiped his tears away, ”Even if we brothers owe him this, this secret agreement …” I will accept it! ”
