The ready-made army that Zhao Bing thought of was the captured Mongols surrendered soldiers. These people have received cavalry training since childhood, are skilled in archery and horse training, and have received military training. As long as they can subdue them, they will get a cavalry for nothing, and using surrendered soldiers for themselves is a common method used in all dynasties. However, there is also the problem of loyalty. After all, the saying that "if not my race, their hearts will be different" has long been deeply rooted in the bones. Even he is not sure whether he can win their loyalty in a short time, but the current situation is urgent, so he can only try it.

"Please come to see me!" Zhao Bing thought of the little yellow gate on duty outside the reconciliation, and ordered. Although there is a saying of politeness and wise men, there is also a legend that the emperor's tiger body shook, the king's aura leaked out, and the surrendered generals took their hem and surrendered. But he knew that it was the legend, so he wanted Chen Shishi to test it first. If he could not convince him, he still had room to maneuver and could not have a king's bomb at the beginning of the game!

"See Your Majesty!" When you are in the palace on weekdays, several officials in the imperial court also take turns to handle emergency affairs. At present, the emperor is in charge of the official documents from all over the country. They are responsible for uploading and issuing tasks, and they dare not relax at all. Even at night, some people are on duty in the side tent. Tonight is Chen Shishi on duty, and he immediately enters the account after receiving the oral order.

"Well, sit down!" Zhao Bing asked Xiaohuangmen to add two more candlesticks, illuminating the bedroom tent, raising his hand to let him greet him, and sitting beside him. Chen Shishi has been in the imperial office for several years and has always been safe in his work. Besides, the two are in-laws, and he is his elder brother-in-law. After Lin Zhiwu and Cai Qiao and others were released, Zhao Bing relied on him more and more.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" A small yellow gate brought an embroidery pier and presented another cup of tea. Chen Shishi thanked him again before sat down, "Today's battle, Your Majesty is already exhausted, don't work too hard!" The battle situation is tight today, and the little emperor personally led his troops to fight with the enemy to stabilize his position. He naturally knew very well, in addition to worrying, he felt a little distressed, and said with fatigue when he saw him.

"It's okay!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and told him not to worry, and then turned to the topic, "Now below Yangzhou City, it's a pity that Tuohuan escaped. Therefore, our army will quickly capture Shanyang and Xuyi while the enemy is unprepared to take advantage of the enemy's preparations to quickly seize Shanyang and Xuyi to control the enemy's reinforcements. The troops are very fast, so I plan to send an army to seize Shanyang by water transportation, and another elite cavalry will quickly go north and attack Xuyi. But you also know that our cavalry has been transferred to Jiangdong. The war is tight at the moment, and even if it is called back, it will be too late."

"Your Majesty's intention is to use the captured horses to quickly form the cavalry and go north, but there are also a shortage of cavalrymen in the army, so they are worried about it!" Chen Shishi guessed his thoughts for a moment and said bluntly.

"That's right! I wonder if Minwu has a way to solve it?" He guessed his thoughts at once. Zhao Bing was very pleased, nodded and sighed and asked.

"Your Majesty must have already solved the problem. Why do you need your subordinates to offer advice? Your Majesty will do your best!" Chen Shishi has been following the young emperor for so many years, so how could he not know that his targeted nature was always aimless. Asking for advice was just a polite word, and bowed and chuckled.

"Haha, I know me, and I am the people!" Zhao Bing also smiled and waved his hand, and said seriously, "I plan to use the Mongolian Yuan surrendered troops as the pioneer to form a surprise soldier to attack Xuyi."

"Your Majesty, aren't you too risky?" Chen Shishi knew that the little emperor often had unexpected wisdom in times of crisis, but despite his mental preparation, he was still startled and said with a tight look.

"I also know that it's a bit hasty, but there's no other way at the moment!" Zhao Bing nodded, and did not deny that his method was a bit radical. After all, he was still an enemy yesterday, and today he became a friendly army to fight. This change is too hard to believe and accept.

"Your Majesty, the Mongolian army has surrendered and has not yet been trained. If you rebel again in the middle of the journey, it will be a disaster." Chen Shishi saw that His Majesty was not sure, and thought about it and expressed his worries.

"It's not necessarily impossible. You have to try it out." Zhao Bing was also forced to the corner and was unwilling to give up. He pondered for a moment, "After dawn, I want you to see two thousand households, brother Du and Badu and several thousand households separately, and explore their words. As long as they are willing to submit, the matter will be halfway!"

"It is also a legitimate reason to capture the thief and the king, but if the soldiers and generals below are disobedient, they are afraid that they will scatter in front of the formation, and they will only sigh." Chen Shishi still felt that he was in a bottomless mind.

"Well..." Zhao Bing saw that he was still confused, and took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I have done some research on the temperament, life and behavior of the Mongols. Now I will discuss it with you first and then make a decision!"

"I am willing to hear Your Majesty's teachings!" Chen Shishi sat upright and said.

"Everyone in the world said that Mongolian soldiers are invincible in battle and are invincible in attack. They are first-class strong soldiers. Why is this?" Zhao Bing asked the question first.

"My subordinates think that the barbarians have no kingship, and are cruel and barbaric by nature, without a kind heart, and their behavior is like animals. During the war, they often massacre cities and destroy countries, and intimidate all directions, making everyone frightened. Often, they fled before the troops arrived!" Chen Shishi replied.

"Yes, but I think this evaluation is still too one-sided." What he answered was actually nothing new, and it was still a derogatory statement from the scholars, but Zhao Bing just smiled and said, "I think the reason why the Mongolian army can attack cities and plunder the land is unstoppable, and everyone is good at riding and shooting, and is good at using cavalry strategies and tactics is mainly because their soldiers have good obedience and strict rank."

"The Mongols obeyed the lord more than other tribes, respected them very much, and never lie to their masters; no matter what order the lord gave them, no matter what time, place, no matter what order they were to fight, whether they died or lived, they would obey absolutely without a single word of opposition. Even if they were asked to give their unmarried daughters or sisters, they would dedicate her to them without a complaint. Who could do it?"

"I didn't expect that the Mongols were so tame and could blindly follow Shangguan's orders. However, in this way, only when fighting can we implement orders, and the upper and lower parts are like arm envoys." Chen Shishi sighed, but he also understood that such consciousness is needed in the army. Without such extreme sense of obedience, it is impossible to win the war.

"Of course, the extreme obedience of Mongolian soldiers must be guaranteed by the law. People in the court often point out that the military expenditure I implemented was too strict, which was done by the tyrants, but it is still far from the Mongolian military law." Zhao Bing said.

"The military discipline of the Mongols is rare in the world. When they are fighting, if one person, two, three, or even more people in the ten team escapes, all ten people will be executed. If one person, all ten people escapes, the rest of the people under the centurion, even if they do not escape. In a word, unless they all retreat, all those who escape will be executed; similarly, if one person, or two, or more people in the ten team advance bravely and fight bravely, and the rest do not follow, all these people will be executed. If one person, or more of the ten team is captured by the enemy and their partners do not save them, all these partners will be executed."

"Oh, the Mongolian military law is so cruel! But don't they know how to resist tyranny?" Chen Shishi said in surprise. He did not expect that the Mongolians were cruel to foreign tribes and to their own people, and they also had no benevolence and righteousness.

"There are deep reasons why they have formed such contradictory habits..." Zhao Bing took a sip of water and said it again.

In his previous life, many people had conducted in-depth analysis of the reasons why the Mongols were invincible. Some people in Zhao Bing studied the national character. They believed that the concept of "obedience" was because it itself had a forced element and was contrary to human nature. Under the cover of slavery, mutual jealousy, resentment and suspicion were also very extreme, not less than other ethnic groups, or even more serious.

This potential emotion seriously reduces the loyalty between people and will also lead to a lack of tolerance, especially for the tolerance of losers. Whoever fails, his friends will immediately leave him. Looking through the history of Mongolia, he saw that there were no frequent wars on the Mongolian Plateau and killing each other. The price paid for any tribe is tortured or enslaved. The cruelty is absolutely outrageous. If there was a short-term peace, it was also because a stronger tribe conquered other weak tribes.

A very typical example is that after Temujin's father was killed by the Tatar people, his tribe members left him and fled to other tribes. After his defeat in the battle with Wang Han, most of the retainers who followed him on his way to escape were not Mongols, but people from other nations. This result was not spared even in the era after Genghis Khan.

In fact, it is just because there is a conventional hierarchical relationship among the Mongolians. Among them, there are always some leaders and authoritative figures because of the trust relationship between individuals. These people are either noble from a family, rich in wealth, or simply able to fight. Once the so-called authoritative figure is lost, they lose their thoughts, become confused and ignorant, and do not know how to do it until the birth of the next strong man.

"Your Majesty's intention is that as long as you subdue the leaders of the surrendered army, they can command their subordinates as before, and they will not betrayal, so that they can be used by us!" Chen Shishi said with some clarity, "But this is also risky. Once we lose in the battle, they will also turn to others!"
