The old man was lying on the bed, looking frighteningly thin and breathing weakly. He had closed his eyes to rest, but someone loudly told him that Nanxing had arrived, and he struggled to open his eyes.

Everyone backed out.

Only Xiao Nanxing, wearing a red skirt and holding a candied haws, was left standing by the bed in a daze.

The old man took a long while to force a smile, his face wrinkled with laughter: "Nanxing, you should call me grandpa."

Although Shen Nanxing was a little scared, he still stood still and called out obediently, "Grandpa!"

At that time, she didn't know why, but she felt that if she didn't call him, he would be very sad.

But she didn't want him to be sad, so even though it was a little difficult to speak, she still shouted.

The old man was so happy that he laughed out loud, but he also coughed several times in succession.

Although he covered it with his hands, Xiao Nanxing could still see blood seeping out from between his fingers. Her tears immediately welled up.

The old man quickly comforted her and smiled at her: "Don't cry, Nanxing, grandpa is fine."

Then he reached his old hand under the pillow with trembling hands, and after a while he took out a black iron block and handed it to her.

Xiao Nanxing didn't know what it was, so he took it and turned it over and over, only to find that it was ugly and heavy.

She tilted her head and asked curiously, "Grandpa, what is this?"

The old man smiled slightly and looked at her for a long while before he slowly said, "Nanxing, remember this, this is the military token of the Mingwei Iron Cavalry. It is a very important item. You must keep it well and don't tell anyone, understand?"

"What is the Mingwei Iron Cavalry?" asked a childish voice.

The old man was silent for a while, then stretched out his withered right hand and gently placed it on the top of Xiao Nanxing's head. He looked towards the window through which the sunlight was faintly shining, and his eyes gradually became blurred.

"The Minh Viet Iron Cavalry is an army, the most powerful cavalry unit in North Vietnam. Since its creation, this cavalry has been invincible and has fought over 70 battles for North Vietnam without a single defeat..."

"When the Mingwei cavalry appeared, the enemy was terrified and collapsed without a fight!"

Little Nanxing blinked her big black eyes. "But how come Nanxing has never heard of such a formidable cavalryman? Nanxing's grandfather also loved fighting and was a great general who protected the Northern Yue Kingdom!"

"Nanxing has never heard of it because the Mingwei Iron Cavalry was disbanded by his grandfather more than ten years ago, before Nanxing was even born."

There was a hint of bitterness on the old man's smiling face.

The Mingwei Iron Cavalry was created by him when the North Vietnam was facing the risk of national destruction.

At that time, Xining, Donglai and Nanjiang formed an alliance and discussed how to destroy North Vietnam and divide it. The three countries joined forces to destroy North Vietnam and then divided the territory of North Vietnam into three parts, with each country getting one part.

The war is about to start.

He, the late emperor, and a number of important officials spent three days and three nights discussing the issue without sleep, before finally coming up with a solution. This was to bribe the three kingdoms' officials with large sums of money and beautiful women, thus maneuvering them and delaying their attack on North Vietnam by half a year.

But the crisis remains unresolved.

The quality of the North Vietnamese army was extremely poor. They were accustomed to being cunning and deceitful, taking revenge on personal grudges, and even deliberately letting their comrades who had personal grudges against them die on the battlefield. They formed countless small groups and acted independently.

In addition to their lack of moral character, their combat capabilities are generally weak, they are lazy in training, and a culture of arrogance, extravagance and debauchery prevails.

If the three countries jointly attack North Vietnam in half a year, North Vietnam will surely perish.

The inferiority of the North Vietnamese army at the time was ingrained and could not be changed. But how could they be willing to sit back and wait for the country to be destroyed?

In order to save the country and prevent the people of North Vietnam from suffering, Xu Mingwei thought of countless ways. Finally, after a detailed and thorough analysis, he concluded that the only way to save North Vietnam was to create a powerful army with strong combat effectiveness and the ability to unite under any circumstances.
