After listening to Zhao Hu's words, Yuan Huang smiled and stroked his beard, laughing heartily.
"Hahaha, General Zhao is right! Back then, we followed Marquis Xiao to Myanmar to fight, but we were unfamiliar with the place and the climate. The hot weather made us suffer for a period of time!
At that time, Mang Yingli's Dongwu Country was still very strong, and even Siam Kingdom was forced into a desperate situation. When we first fought, Dongwu Country's resistance was very fierce, and they fought without any regard for their lives.
I still remember what Marquis Xiao had said at that time. These barbarians fought with no regard for their lives. We shouldn't fight them head-on. Now, the Southern Barbarian Tribe, which even gave Mang Yingli a headache, is as fragile as a piece of paper in front of our army. Now that I think about it, it really makes me sigh! "
Luo Rong also nodded and said, "At that time, we didn't have the conditions we have now. We didn't have many elite soldiers, and they were all transferred from various places. We had just finished fighting North Korea, and had only rested for less than two months. It wasn't the time for elites to rush south, and our preparations weren't complete."
Jiang Yue also said, "That's right, how could we have the conditions we have now? Now, we have everything, helmets, armors, firearms, cannons, bows, crossbows, swords and spears, which one isn't the best? Remember when we were in Ningxia, how could the quality of the swords and spears be good? Not to mention the firearms, only three out of ten could barely be used. How could it be like now? "
The old subordinates of Xiao Ruxun, who had once fought against Ningxia and North Korea, were all sighing about the eventful years of the past. As for Qi Dayong, Qian Zheng, Xue Bolu, and the others who were born as refugees of the Central Plains, they were looking at these generals with envy.
So far, among the generals of the Zhennan Army, other than Liao Zhong of the White Tiger Battalion, the others were all from Ningxia, and had followed Xiao Ruxun to fight all over the country. Their relationship with Xiao Ruxun was naturally not something they could compare to.
This Liao Zhong could be considered to have had a fortuitous encounter. His hometown was Shandong and he was a martial artist. His great spear skills were excellent and he was born to be in the army. In the 22nd year of Wan Li, when the Zhennan Army was first established, he relied on this skill to enter Xiao Ru Xu's eyes. Just as he entered the army, he became the general.
After that, he displayed outstanding courage and talent in a few rare campaigns to suppress bandits, and consecutively made a lot of contributions. Xiao Ruxun brought him along to train him personally.
In the 24th year of Wanli, when the Zhennan Army was reorganized, Ma Chong was promoted as the commanding general of the White Tiger Battalion, one of the four major infantry battalions of the Zhennan Army. As for Ma Chong, who was a member of Xiao Ruxun's personal guard and had fought alongside Xiao Ruxun in Korea, he could only be his deputy. At that time, many old people were amazed.
But even so, Liao Zhong was also envious of these Yuan Cong Generals who had followed Xiao Ruxun to fight all over the country and had deep feelings for each other. When talking about the past, these Burmese generals who joined the army in Myanmar could not interject and could only look on helplessly.
"Let's not talk about what should be said. For us to be able to have today, it is all because of Silang. If you want to say the best general in the entire Daming, it is still our Silang. You tell me, among the current generals, who can be mentioned in the same breath as our Silang?
From Nihon Country to Myanmar, this large area of the sea is under our Silang's control. From Nihon Country to Myanmar, this large area of the sea is under our Silang's control. He shouldered the safety of the Southern Daming alone. In the current Daming, which general can be mentioned in the same breath as Silang? "
As the big brother of the Yuan Cong Generals, Zhao Hu had always been Xiao Ruxun's most loyal fan. At this time, he could not stop praising Xiao Ruxun.
The Yuan Cong Generals naturally had nothing to say. The Burmese generals themselves were originally abandoned children and refugees. Because of Xiao Ruxun, not only did they survive, but they were also able to join the army and make a name for themselves. This was tantamount to a new life. Their gratitude and loyalty to Xiao Ruxun was no less than that of the Yuan Cong Generals.
Naturally, no one would object to this kind of words.
Yuan Huang sat in the main seat and looked at the generals who did not forget to praise their General even at this time. He could not help but smile.
What they wanted to say might also be what he wanted to say. After so many years, this was the first time that Yuan Huang saw so many things that could be called hope in a general. Perhaps, as Ye Mengxiong said, in the future, Xiao Ruxun would definitely be able to rule the world.
And what he had to do was to give him what he needed when he needed it, prepare it for him, and handle all the logistics so that he could feel at ease and not be restricted by anything.
This was the biggest wish of a man who was almost 70 years old.
Of course, if he could see the day when he could rule the world, even if he had to sacrifice a few years of his life, it would be worth it …
He just did not know if he could live to that day.
In such a joyous atmosphere, even without wine, Yuan Huang felt a little tipsy.
The joyous banquet also came to an end. The war was not over, and everyone still had their own tasks to do. In the middle of the night, Yuan Huang asked everyone to go back to sleep. There would be a military meeting the next morning. In the end, Yuan Huang asked Zhao Hu to stay.
Xiao Ruxun had three most trusted people, Zhao Hu, Chen Xie, and Wang Hui. The three of them were Xiao Ruxun's family generals. They had followed Xiao Ruxun through fire and water since the time of Pingkuk in Ningxia. They had witnessed the rise of Xiao Ruxun, and their own status had also risen.
Now, Chen Xie had left the ranks of the regular army and was the commander of the police force. He was in charge of 5,000 policemen and was in charge of the security of the whole of Myanmar. He was directly under Yuan Huang and had a high position.
Wang Hui was the commanding general of the artillery unit, and he had followed Xiao Ruxun to the north to fight. Only Zhao Hu remained in the Myanmar army. Zhao Hu was thirty-five years old, and he had the reputation of being the number one general of the Southern Town Army. Although his military power was only that of a battalion's commanding general, his position in the army was very high.
They were family generals and had followed him all the way. Zhao Hu, Wang Hui, and Chen Xie were known as the most trusted of trusted people. It was natural for them to have a high status. Therefore, when Xiao Ruxun was not around, Yuan Huang had to discuss some matters in the army with Zhao Hu.
"Counselor, what's the matter?"
Zhao Hu looked at Yuan Huang curiously.
Yuan Huang nodded and said, "Actually, before we set off, I received a letter from Marquis Xiao."
Zhao Hu was stunned and quickly asked, "What did the letter say? When is Silang coming back? How is the war in the north going? "
"It didn't say anything special. Other than asking me to send my regards to Marquis Xiao's family, there was nothing else. At the end of the letter, he mentioned that he might not be able to come back for a while. This time, the matter of the Northern Barbarians going south is not simple. It is not just a simple matter of the Northern Barbarians invading the border. There may be a lot of people involved."
"A lot of people involved?"
Zhao Hu frowned. "It is normal for the Northern Barbarians to invade the border. Why are there so many people involved? It can't be that someone let the Northern Barbarians enter the border, right? "
Yuan Huang looked at Zhao Hu without saying a word. Zhao Hu's eyes gradually widened.
