Chapter 1356 Confused
The English countryside, at least west of Winchester, was completely uninhabited by the Ming army.

In terms of strategic situation, England is on the same level as the Ming army in Puli County, but if you focus on the local area, you will be deeply confused.

First, on the England side, a siege of Puli made the nobles of the entire Devonshire dead, and those who survived were also reduced to prisoners. Although they were released later, they still had lingering fears and needed time to recuperate. The closed castles refused to leave the city.

Some of them signed an armistice agreement with Ying Ming in private, and went back to tear down the gate of the castle to show their sincerity.

It's even more strange for the common people.

What is a scout?
Scouts are the elite of the elite, the trump card of the trump card, with firm will and tough tactics. They can act alone and complete tasks without being separated from officers, large troops, and supervisory teams. They are the starting point of battles, campaigns, and even wars.

A character more dangerous than Xiandeng on the battlefield.

This group of people's individual combat effectiveness is not top-notch, and sometimes they even do not carry weapons under certain conditions, but they can determine the victory or defeat of the war, which is also the confidence of the Eastern military government to run rampant everywhere.

If Tubo Maheima had an excellent scouting force, why would Dayun lead twenty or thirty brothers to kick the camp in the middle of the night?
The Dongyang Banner military masters are bold, and the scouts are the most courageous among them. When they were in Beiyang, they were often used by military officers to use confrontation training to simulate different environments during wartime.

A group of people passed through the Tianjin guard checkpoint at night, revealing the positions of the sentries outside the city and the guards at the top of the city that night. The checkpoints and the guards were also the Beiyang Banner Army.

Another group of people not only had to pass through the checkpoints of Tianjin Wei, but also went all the way through the encirclement to Bazhou for surveying and mapping.

The most exaggerated thing is that there are still a group of people who have to go to Baiyangdian to catch a duck wearing a necklace for Ye Mengxiong after completing the tasks of the other two groups.

The other unit is responsible for preventing them from passing, surveying and mapping, and preventing them from catching ducks.

Baiyangdian is three hundred miles away from Beiyang, and this kind of training habit is even more presumptuous when it comes to the Asian continent where the land is sparsely populated and full of wild fruits.

There is only one way for Beiyang training subjects, and the enemy still knows they are coming, but they don't know when they will come.

After leaving Beiyang, they have all roads, not to mention that the enemy doesn't know that they will come. For the scouts of the Beiyang Banner Army, the world can go as if they are in a land without people.

Except for water and food, nothing in this world can restrain them.

At first, the appearance of the Ming army around their farm was really scary. Some people even pulled out longbows from their homes and moved out horses to protect themselves.

Later, it was discovered that these Ming soldiers in cotton armor were haunted and haunted, and they did not commit any crimes. Seeing the village was as if they hadn’t seen it. The local people were sure of one thing: Although these people were riding horses, wearing armor, and holding weapons, they—— Not the enemy, and most likely not even the army.

The logic is easy to explain. If it is the army, how can they not rob the village when they see it?Even when walking in the fields, this group of people was careful not to let the horses trample the fields. This is obviously not a soldier.

This is not in line with common sense.

Basically, the biggest flattery in my life happened at this moment. Sometimes the Ming army passed by the yard quickly and left a beautiful painting, only to find that something was lost in the field when I turned around.

The Ming army scouts in the form of small groups came and went quickly. After seeing them three or five times, the people's defenses gradually relaxed, and some bold people met on the road or in the fields and pretended to speak up.

"Are you coming and going to beat us?"

The banner army scouts were furious when they heard this: war?Who do you underestimate, and you still use us to beat you?
To tidy up a small village, you have to send the most elite troops from Ming Dynasty, so why are the Ming troops still in England?Go home early for milk.

But not only they were curious, but also the scouts of the Ming army. They shook their heads and replied that they would not hit them, and asked, "We are patrolling. Why is there a rejection of horses in your village? It is very dangerous here?"

The farmer proudly raised the bow in his hand: "There are many bandits and robbers in England, and a small number of them live on the mountains. We must use the longbow to protect ourselves."

"Tell me where the bandit camp is, and we'll help you suppress the bandits, by the way." The scouts were supposed to shoulder this mission, and they had to subdue all the forces they could, but there was still a problem: "The part that is not on the mountain Woolen cloth?"

"The other part? Good question, I don't know either." The farmer thought about it very seriously, "Maybe he lives in London."

Needless to say, Europe's political system has indeed been improving, which can be seen from the military.

As for the military, in fact, there is no such division as the feudal army and the modern army. The strength of an army is often related to the political, economic and other aspects of its regime, and it is also a concentrated expression of the strength of these aspects.

Even in the small area of ​​Europe, it is unfair to Europeans to rashly divide the feudal army and the modern army.

The strength of troops in different places in the same era will also be very surprising. Spain has the extreme bravery of holding a sword shield and stepping on intersecting spears to jump into the opponent's army formation and stabbing down from the head. Fighting the enemy is not enough to burn down your own town and belch legions.

The upper limit of strength can be so high that it exceeds human cognition, and the lower limit can be so low that robbery has to be established, or the team will collapse and flee, which is outrageous.

Why was the French army relatively strong during the French Revolution?Just because they can go back to camp by themselves after the robbing.

The purpose of the rotten Ming army to take the head of a fellow countryman is to return to the camp to receive military merit, but there is no military merit system in Europe, and winning a battle is a matter for noble officers, and the recruiters who were tricked into the cellar by prostitutes and refused to join the army and refused to let them out, expect them to rob Return to camp by yourself?
Not to mention that in Puli County, there have been knights who came from afar, brought a bow and an arrow, shot the arrow before going home-the arrows were exhausted, fighting for the lord to the last moment, very crime of war.

Where have the common people in England seen such an army? They seem to be particularly capable of fighting, but they don’t kill people, slaughter villages, or rob.

Although sometimes I would pick up something from the fields, I would throw things into other people’s yards when I was done. Sometimes I would throw a small painting, sometimes a small handicraft, or a pack of cigarettes.

Of course, it is impossible to solve the problem by fighting. Once there is a dispute, the things will definitely be taken away by the lord's guard in the end.

Anyway, this group of people is more popular than the guards of their lord.

What is especially unexpected is that the Ming army actually wiped out the bandits entrenched on the mountain after a while, and even set a price for the head, and threw two big bags at the entrance of the village.

Those who can get flour get flour, and those who can't get flour dig a ditch in the stream outside the village to work, and pile up the soil together.

　Good morning!
