Chapter 174 That Army
Tang Yu glanced at the curious Ying Zheng, then at the Iron Eagle Swordsman beside him, who also looked curious.
He spoke loudly.
He said this partly so that Ying Zheng would know.
On the other hand, he planned to train this Iron Eagle Swordsman into a force somewhat similar to the soldiers he had seen in his previous life.
After all, the discipline, combat effectiveness, and excellent execution of the People's Liberation Army soldiers are indeed unmatched by other military units.
"Your Majesty, this army was organized during a time of national crisis, and was spontaneously formed by family members of every citizen."
"And with an iron will to fight, they can crush any enemy."
Even when they are outmatched, they can maintain their strength and will not falter no matter how high their casualty rate is.
"Even until the very last man, he was still carrying out his unit's mission, fighting against his enemy."
Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Ying Zheng, along with the Iron Eagle Swordsmen around him, all gasped in shock.
If these words hadn't come from the Imperial Advisor Tang Yu, they would have thought someone was joking with them.
After all, you have to understand that this means a 100% casualty rate.
This sentence sounds simple, but if it really happened to you, anyone would be scared.
After all, no one is unafraid of death.
Even the mighty Qin Emperor, Qin Shi Huang, went to great lengths to find the elixir of immortality. How could anyone be unafraid of death?
Ying Zheng was also shocked at this moment. His eyes trembled as he looked at Tang Yu, and his voice was filled with surprise.
"I don't understand, Mr. Tang. How could such an army possibly exist here? Don't they fear the deaths of the soldiers around them? Don't they engage in internal strife? Don't they flee?"
Looking at the trembling Ying Zheng, Tang Yu shook his head.
He discovered that Ying Zheng indeed possessed extremely high foresight, keen political acumen, and remarkably decisive courage.
However, he was also limited by the times, and the era in which the People's Liberation Army emerged was far beyond what we can imagine in today's world.
Tang Yu shook his head.
"None of them will run away; they will all choose to fight to the last moment. Because they are not only fighting for themselves, but also for their country and for every citizen behind them."
"So even if their casualty rate is as high as 100%, they will not panic or collapse in the slightest."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng stared blankly into space, speechless for a long time.
It should be noted that his strength as the Iron Eagle Swordsman of Qin was indeed formidable.
After all, it would have been impossible to unify the six kingdoms if he hadn't been powerful.
However, none of the elite forces among the six kingdoms could reach this level.
The Zhao state's world-renowned Hu-style cavalry archery and horsemanship—the Zhao border cavalry—would experience internal strife if their casualty rate reached 15%, and might even turn against each other, fleeing the battlefield.
Wu Qi's well-trained Wei infantry helped him win countless battles.
Even so, if more than 30% of them die on the battlefield, they will be a disorganized mess, completely incapable of fighting.
This is why, even though another Wei Wuzu was trained, it could not achieve the same dominance as the first Wei Wuzu.
These Iron Eagle Swordsmen are the elite of the entire Qin Dynasty.
It is composed entirely of Qin people who claim to be loyal to the Qin people, ready to fight to the death until the blood is spilled.
They have always been very hardworking and united.
Otherwise, they would not have transformed from an insignificant little country into the unified Qin Dynasty.
Even the Iron Eagle Warriors, such an army, will panic and lose their fighting capacity on the spot when their casualty rate exceeds 50%.
But the fact that they had a 100% casualty rate, and even when there was only one soldier left, still chose to fight the enemy resolutely. What courage that must have taken!
After sighing, Ying Zheng bowed earnestly to Tang Yu and said...
"I beg Mr. Tang for your help; I also desire an army like this."
Are you really envious?
He clicked his tongue and looked at Ying Zheng, who had a serious expression on his face.
Tang Yu knew that the other party was also envious at this moment.
However, the training of these People's Liberation Army soldiers cannot be achieved through training alone; it is because they have their own beliefs and goals that they want to protect.
That's why they have such terrifying combat power.
All he could do was pass on their training methods to the Qin state of this era and see how well these Qin soldiers could achieve them.
"I will do my best, but as for the results, I'm afraid my word alone won't count."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded to Tang Yu, clearly indicating his understanding.
Looking at the group of elite Iron Eagle Swordsmen before him, Tang Yu slowly spoke.
"The Embroidered Uniform Guard established by His Majesty includes officials of various ranks and different positions. The Embroidered Uniform Guard is divided into commanders, and various flag officers and colonels below them..."
When Tang Yu left the Iron Eagle Warriors, Ying Zheng was already smiling.
Tang Yu not only explained the structure of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to him, but also provided him with a detailed manual on how the Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Qin State should act and communicate in this era.
"Obviously, with Mr. Tang around, everything is fine."
However, at this moment, he looked at Tang Yu with some envy.
"Mr. Tang, when will my Qin state be able to possess an army like the one you described?"
When Ying Zheng heard about Tang Yu's training methods for this group of people, he was also surprised.
However, he knew that Mr. Tang must have his reasons for doing everything.
Ying Zheng would never do something that would be a classic case of an amateur giving orders while an expert does something foolish.
He stood aside to support Tang Yu, while carefully observing Tang Yu's every word and action.
In the end, Ying Zheng even gave Tang Yu a new official title.
That was the first Commander-in-Chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the entire Qin Dynasty.
Yes, Tang Yu is an official again.
Moreover, he was an official who was independent of all other officials, and even completely contrary to them.
Such an official must be a lone minister, a minister who has no vested interests with the other officials.
A good commander is one who doesn't show favoritism to anyone.
Tang Yu met all of these conditions.
Similarly, Tang Yu disdained forming cliques in this era, nor did he care to participate in the power struggles within the imperial court.
All he had to do was develop and strengthen the Qin Dynasty.
So this commander position seems to be quite suitable for Tang Yu.
