I'm really not doing business

Chapter 160 Qi Jiguang who only needs one chance

Zhang Siwei is a scholar. Of course, he read all the books into the dog's stomach. He has no idea how terrifying the four words of military talent are.

People with military talent can do whatever they want on the battlefield. They can win no matter what they fight, and they can never lose no matter how they fight. No matter how many obstacles there are behind them, they can win.

When Wang Chonggu was studying, he read that Li Shimin destroyed King Kong of Song Dynasty, but he didn't believe it. Even if Li Shimin was not a human being, wouldn't Li Shimin's generals and trilogy also be human?How could it be possible to achieve such a record.

It wasn't until Qi Jiguang was born that Wang Chonggu fully understood that military talent really didn't make any sense.

In April of the 40th year of Jiajing, more than [-] Japanese pirates, Hongmao Fan, Hei Fan, and desperadoes invaded more than ten places in Zhejiang Ninghai Jiantiao, Linhai Taozhu, Taiping Xinhe, and Chumen with fifty warships. Frequent rumors spread far and wide.

On April 16th, a total of 1000 Japanese ships and about [-] Japanese pirates landed from Fenghua Xifeng, and entered Ninghai that night, ravaging and looting.

After Qi Jiguang received the report, he deployed the defense of Taizhou. In the early morning of the 22nd, he led the main force of 2000 people to Ninghai, and marched 24 miles in a day and night. , Yu Kou fled in despair. In this battle, the casualty ratio was 600 to 0, and Qi's army had no casualties.

On April 22, the Japanese pirates landed from Zhouyang Port. On the 24th, they robbed places outside the city of Xinhe and besieged Xinhe.

Qi Jiguang's wife, Mrs. Wang, was living in Xinhe. She stepped forward and ordered the arsenal to be opened, and mobilized the people to put on military uniforms, hold weapons in their hands, mix with the soldiers, and go up to the city to guard. Xinhe, but the Japanese pirates thought that the city was the main force, so they dared not attack for a long time.

On the night of the 26th, Qi Jiguang led his troops back to Taizhou from Ninghai County. 2000 southern soldiers crossed Tongyan Ridge on an empty stomach overnight, galloped for 70 miles, and arrived at Fucheng before noon on the 27th. On the day of departure on the 22nd, only Three days of rations, when they returned to Taizhou, the army had already fasted.

Chen Dacheng believed that the soldiers galloped for 70 miles, crossed mountains and ridges, and returned to Taizhou.

But at this time, the Japanese pirates had already broken into the foot of Jingjiang Mountain and sneaked to Huajie, only 5 miles away from the city. Qi Jiguang then ordered: it is urgent to kill the pirates, and then they will eat.

The Battle of Flower Street started.

Chen Dacheng, Ding Bangyan and others led their troops to pursue and fight fiercely, and wiped out this group of Japanese pirates. Among them, 2 bandit chieftains were captured alive, beheaded at 308 levels, and countless people fell into the water and died.This battle also rescued more than 5000 people who were taken into captivity, and only 3 soldiers including the sentry chief Chen Wenqing were killed in the southern soldiers.

You must know that the Japanese pirates burned the ship first when they landed. This is called burning the boat and landing, which means they will never die.

This method has been tried and tested, but the Japanese pirates met Qi Jiguang.

On April 22, he moved to Ninghai, and on the 26th he turned back to Taizhou. He killed the enemy in Huajie with no food and hunger. This has proved the unreasonableness of military talent.

But Wang Chonggu knew that there were even more unreasonable battles that took place nine times in total, nine times a month.

On April 25, a group of more than 2000 Japanese pirates moored in Yuexi, Ninghai County on 18 sailboats. On the 28th, they burned their boats and landed. After two days of confrontation with the Japanese pirates, the Japanese invaded Xianju.

On May 3rd, Qi Jiguang set up an ambush in Shangfengling to wipe out the Japanese pirates. Only Chen Si and other [-] people were killed in this battle.

From April 40 to May 22 in the 22th year of Jiajing, Qi Jiguang continued to travel in Ninghai, Xinhe, Huajie, Shangfengling, Chumen, Aiwan Bay, Tengling, and Changsha (Wenling Changsha) for a month. He fought nine land and water battles with Yang Qi and others, killed more than 20 enemies, and rescued more than [-] civilians, while Qi Jiguang led the Southern Army and killed less than [-] people.

The people of Taizhou rely on the Great Wall together, and Dongzhe real capital guarantees it.

This is the war miracle created by Qi Jiguang in the 40 years of Jiajing, and it is also a silhouette of Qi Jiguang's sturdy record.

Encountering the birth of such a fierce general, coupled with the scheming Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu was slammed, and he could see it clearly, what a fight, is that a person who can fight?It's better to get rich with peace of mind.

But Zhang Siwei still lives in his own world, and he feels that he can rely on those tricks to fight Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang and others.

"Nephew, you still don't understand. The world is not supported by us small people, but by gentlemen like Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang. They are the pillars of the country, and we are in this area supported by them. All over the world, plan some food."

"Your little conspiracy, digging on the pillar of the country, can you dig it?" Wang Chonggu persuaded Zhang Siwei for the last time, and if he couldn't persuade him, he would never persuade him again.

"Okay." Zhang Siwei held the official memorial in his hand, and after all he let out a sigh of relief and agreed.

Wang Chonggu took back the memorial and left Zhang Siwei's home.

Seeing his father coming back, Wang Qian went up to greet him and said, "Father, how is your talk with Zhang Siwei going?"

"Stubborn." Wang Chonggu said with great dissatisfaction: "I can't listen to what I say, and I feel that I am right. He thinks that he can get Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang down by asking someone to arrange those dirty stories. ?”

"When Qi Jiguang was in Taizhou, he had a big quarrel with his wife because of his injuries and no money for medical treatment. The whole Taizhou knows about the noise!"

Wang Qian said in astonishment: "Qi Shuai is such a hero, is he trapped by money?"

"What do you think, Zhang Siwei's arrangement of those Persian beauties and other bad things is unsightly. In the past two years, Qi Shuai didn't have to send money to the Quanchu Guild Hall, and the emperor kept rewarding him. We quarreled over something." Wang Chonggu didn't want to admit it, but Qi Jiguang was really a hero, and he was also really poor.

In the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Dingsi impeached Qi Jiguang as a member of Zhang Juzheng's party, and Qi Jiguang was appointed as the general officer of Guangdong. A generation of heroes died at home because they had no money to see a doctor.

Qi Jiguang is really poor.

Wang Qian was dumbfounded when he heard that Zhang Siwei was going to attack Qi Jiguang's food and grass. He said dully, "That's His Majesty's martial arts teacher. Doesn't Zhang Siwei have any fear of Zhang Siwei attacking Qi Shuai?"

"Your Majesty will really kill his nine clans! Father, let's do it before Zhang Siwei does it!"

Wang Qian never considered himself a gentleman. He was actively preparing for the exam. His life had just begun, and he was about to be implicated by Zhang Siwei and go to hell. Who could Wang Qian turn to for reasoning?
The most important thing is that the participating generals such as Ma Fang and Ma Gui of the Jin Party are also in the army.

Sometimes Wang Qian didn't know what to say. Ma Fang, Prince Ma, Ma Gui, and Li Rusong were all very convinced by Qi Jiguang, and got along very well with Qi Jiguang.

"He didn't dare." Wang Chonggu shook his head and said, "Since we no longer clamor for the court to push out cabinet ministers, there is no need to attack Qi Shuai. We can still live in peace for a while. When the army returns triumphantly, we will burn Zhang Siwei's house and burn it down." Let him move here even if he is not dead, just watch it under his nose and prevent trouble."

Wang Qian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements, and I just bought the Chai Fu from Zhang Siwei's house."

Carrying firewood is a daily labor to deliver firewood to Zhang Siwei’s home. This kind of labor is sent by the coal market and has a lot of mobility. They are all ordinary people who have lost their land. The money they can't spend in a lifetime is enough for them to fight for their lives.

It was night, in the Wenchang Pavilion of Quanchu Guild Hall, the lights were brightly lit, Zhang Juzheng was writing a letter to Qi Jiguang, since Qi Jiguang was ennobled, Zhang Juzheng seldom had correspondence with Qi Jiguang, and rarely saw each other on weekdays.

But this does not mean that the boat of friendship has capsized. On the contrary, everyone is doing what they can for Daming in different fields.

"Did you find out clearly?" Zhang Juzheng stopped writing, looked at You Qi and asked.

"I found out clearly, it's Liu Tai." You Qi carefully said a name, Liu Tai was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing, he had the badge of Quanchu Guild Hall, and he was a student of Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng has always felt a little strange. Why did Zhang Siwei make such a noise at this time? Now he is letting Zhang Siwei join the cabinet. Zhu Jiuzu, Zhang Juzheng and the little emperor are surnamed Zhu!
The problem was the Northeast War. Zhang Juzheng began to pay attention to what Zhang Siwei was going to do. At the same time, he planned to write to Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, urging them to be extremely careful.

There are only so many ministers in the Northeast. Zhang Juzheng checked them all. Finally, Liu Tai, who had just served as the inspector of Liaodong, came into Zhang Juzheng's field of vision. This is his disciple.

"Your Majesty has always said that the subject is good at teaching, and the reasoning is clear. Let's see what kind of people you have taught. You Qi, your master's level of teaching apprentices is really not very good." Zhang Juzheng heard Liu Tai's words. Name, sighed heavily.

You Qi hurriedly said: "Mr.'s reasoning is not wrong! Then Liu Tai is from Jiangxi, and he and Fu Yingzhen are from the same city, kind and generous. They really have their own masters. Mister doesn't know the details. It is really Liu Tai who deliberately concealed it."

"Isn't Liu Tai born in Sichuan in Huguang, his ancestral home? Why is he from Jiangxi again, and he has a good relationship with Fu Yingzhen?" Zhang Juzheng asked with a frown.

You Qi bowed his head and said: "The ancestral home of Huguang was born in Sichuan, and he came to Jiangxi when he was three years old. He and Fu Yingzhen are the same teacher, same town, and same ranking. After Fu Yingzhen was convicted and imprisoned, Zhang Siwei lobbied Liu Tai."

Zhang Juzheng heard this, finished writing the letter in his hand, and said: "Eight hundred miles, hurry up and send the letter to Liaodong."

On the third day, Qi Jiguang, who was in Guangning, received a letter from the capital. There were three letters in total. The first letter was a letter from Emperor Ming, which was not an imperial decree, but a letter.

In the letter, the little emperor babbled about his recent homework. Now the number one master in the world in the junior group, he can already draw a hard bow weighing [-] catties, hit six out of ten arrows, and also learn to ride a horse. Qi Jiguang rehearsed.

For the war, the emperor's meaning is very clear, not to win.

It doesn't matter if you can't win, the right is to train your troops, and the fundamental thing is to keep your vitality.

Now that the imperial court has money, if 1 people can’t beat it, they can practice 10 people. If they lose this time, they will give the chahan Khan of the barbarian a king and a tribute. Anyway, Alta Khan has been sealed in the northwest, and there are too many lice It's not itchy, it was the first emperor and the Jin party who set the precedent. It's not easy for orphans and widows to sit in the country. It doesn't matter if you give Chahan Khan the king and the tribute.

As long as the final result of Da Ming and the barbarians is that Da Ming wins, that's fine.

Qi Jiguang showed a smile, how big is his face, and he still needs 10 people?It is already very difficult for the imperial court to raise [-] elite soldiers. One hundred thousand elite soldiers are not enough to sell the palace.

The second letter was written to him by Zhang Juzheng, and Qi Jiguang was also a little strange. Since the first year of Wanli, they had lost contact with each other. They had never exchanged letters. He is wary of villains, especially food, grass and armaments. There is a lot of gunpowder in the army, so one must be careful of villains.

Qi Jiguang was always very careful about ghosts. When he was fighting in the southeast, he suffered a lot of such losses. If he was not so good at fighting, the grass on the grave would be three feet high. Zhang Juzheng reminded Qi Jiguang that he would be more careful .

The third letter is from the madam. In the letter, the madam first scolded Qi Jiguang's concubines, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Yang one by one, saying that they were wasting a lot in the mansion and the emperor rewarded them a lot, but It can't be so wasteful, the three houses are still fighting among themselves, making the house full of chaos, and there is no peace.

Qi Jiguang has three concubines, there are three unfilial sons, and no offspring is the greatest. Mrs. Qi Jiguang's Wang's children died one after another, and she is unable to bear children. Qi Jiguang took three concubines in succession for the sake of children. If you are 40 years old and have no children, you can take concubines. This is Ming Dynasty express provisions of the law.

But Qi Jiguang's three concubines were taken without telling Wang. Qi Jiguang was afraid of this matter. No one in Daming knew it. He was invincible. When Shi knew about it, there was a lot of trouble.

Mrs. Wang also told Qi Jiguang not to charge forward again. At this age, he is no longer young, and he is not the young Qi Jiguang who even killed the seventeen thieves. He must cherish himself, and the Yang family in the mansion gave Qi Jiguang a son, six catties Liuliang, let Qi Jiguang choose a name.

In Wang's letters, apart from longing, there is resentment, resentment that Qi Jiguang went out to fight, resentment that Yang gave birth to a boy for Qi Jiguang, and the biggest resentment is that she herself cannot give Qi Jiguang an heir.

The Wang family gave birth to Qi Jiguang's children, but none of them were successful, and those who were in chaos died. In order to continue the heir, the Wang family also tried their best to go to Xinghua Jiuli Lake to pray for the Jiuli Immortal to have another child. My son, but the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital also diagnosed Wang, and he is already infertile.

Qi Jiguang wrote three replies and asked his soldiers to send them to the post station and send them back to the capital.

Then he led his soldiers to patrol the supply of food and grass. His food and grass could not be ordered by just anyone, and the defense was extremely strict. He checked it once and made sure that there was no fire. Standing in the tent, he looked towards Shanhaiguan. direction.

So what if his food was ordered?

His Majesty has hoarded 20 shi in Lijiabao, a stone, 40 shi in Shanhaiguan, 80 shi in Jizhou, and 400 million shi in Tongzhou Wubaiku. Start dispatching and fully guarantee logistics.

This is not only for His Majesty's holy family, but also for Wang Guoguang's request to suspend the distribution of Lumi for Beijing officials and give priority to frontline military use.

This is an extremely important part of Zhenwu, and it is given priority to military use.

Qi Jiguang has never fought such a rich battle in his life.

Fighting in Taizhou, Ninghai, Huajie and other places, it is common to go over mountains and mountains and still be hungry. Now that it is all right, Qi Jiguang even has the illusion that there is a dog tied to the commander's tent. Can't lose.

It's nice to have money.

Qi Jiguang looked towards the sky, he was looking forward to the snow falling quickly, and when it started to snow, it was time to march into the army.

At the beginning of October, Li Chengliang set up the general cannon in front of the Dragon King Temple. If it snowed only in December like last year, Li Chengliang would really bomb the Dragon King Temple.

Zhang Xueyan received Zhang Juzheng's letter and immediately found Li Chengliang.

Li Chengliang also has a letter similar to Zhang Xueyan in his hand.

"Liu Tai, who is forced to raise him, actually wants some food from me! Come!" Li Chengliang read the letter, slapped the table, and said angrily, "Catch Liu Tai!"

As the governor, Zhang Xueyan should have persuaded the commander in chief not to get angry, but after he thought about it, he tried to persuade him, and if he lost the battle, he, Zhang Xueyan, would not be able to get good results.

The soldiers used the fastest speed to catch Liu Tai to the capital's yamen. Li Chengliang was already a burly man, but now he was furious, and he walked up to Liu Tai step by step, and fished Liu Tai as if he was catching chickens. Get up, fight with both hands, and lift Liu Tai up.

Zhang Xueyan looked at this strange posture, how stupid this Liu Tai was to do such a thing.

What is Li Chengliang?It is the head of the army.

Li Chengliang is a character who climbed out of the pit, winning battles is the capital for his promotion, and Liaodong has a very typical trend of becoming a feudal town. The entire Liaodong war relied on Li Chengliang's servants, or Li Chengliang's [-] guest soldiers. fight.

It is not wrong to say that Li Chengliang is the head of the army, but the head of the army is now willing to listen to the court.

Li Chengliang tilted his head and looked at Liu Tai earnestly, staring ferociously and viciously, the corner of his mouth twitched and said: "I heard that you want to burn our food and grass?"

"No, the general will not listen to someone's instigation!" Liu Tai left his feet off the ground and kept shaking them, but Li Chengliang's hands were like pliers.

"If you hadn't been under Mr. Zhang's family, you would be dead now! One dead person, do you know? There are so many beasts in Liaodong, and it would be appropriate to be buried in the tiger's mouth!" Li Chengliang threw Liu Tai on the ground and said coldly: "Detain him Get up, pull down and ask what happened."

"I'm the official of the imperial court, and I'm the inspector of Liaodong. Li Chengliang, don't be too arrogant! I will definitely report to the Ming court and punish you for a serious crime of treason!" Liu Tai said angrily, only feeling pain in his two armpits.

Li Chengliang looked at Liu Tai and said with a sneer, "Huh, do you know what it means to give a general a little power?"

"When it comes to war, I have the final say! It won't work if the king of heaven and I come, unless there is an imperial decree from His Majesty! I suspect that you are a dog who eats inside and outside, and is a prisoner, so I can put you in prison! You better be clean under your butt." Yes! Can withstand cross-examination!"

"Try the torture in Liaodong, sit on the ice lump, I see if you can do it!"

Sitting on an ice lump is a form of torture, that is, pressing a person naked on a block of ice. It is icy cold and excruciatingly painful. No one is willing to try this kind of torture. Zhang Juzheng said there was something wrong with Liu Tai, and Liu Tai himself said that he was fine. There was a person who lied, and Li Chengliang believed that the person who lied was not Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Xueyan said: "Inquire everyone who has been in contact with Liu Tai, and verify each other, and we will naturally know the result."

It only took half a day for Liu Tai and the servants contacted by Liu Tai to recruit directly. Zhang Xueyan wrote a letter and went to Beijing, asking for Liu Tai to be called back to the capital to ask questions.

On the second day after Liu Tai was escorted to Beijing, the Dragon Lord probably saw that the black hole's muzzle was not fake, and the sky began to snow lightly, and then it snowed all over the sky.

It's snowing, and it's time to advance. Li Chengliang immediately ordered all the guest soldiers and went straight to Tieling. Qi Jiguang led 21 elite soldiers from Guangning to Daningwei. Chen Dacheng will leave through the four passes of Xifengkou , surrounded by [-] roads on three sides, Tuman Chahan Khan.

From the Xifeng exit, you can go through Fumin Station, Kuanhe City, Baishan Station, Huizhou City, Jizhuang Station, and Fuyu Station, and you can reach Daningwei for a total of 480 miles.

From Guangningwei to Daningwei, a total of 480 five miles, ten post roads, these post roads were built in the 27th year of Hongwu.

During the reign of Yongle, King Ning moved inward, and the Great Ningwei began to deteriorate. In the end, the Northern Parallel Capital survived in name only. Since the reign of Yongle, people in all dynasties have urged the restoration of Daningwei. Until the reign of Chongzhen, Xu Guangqi was still talking about restoring Daning. guard.

Among them, the restoration of Daning Hetao was discussed by Wanli Chunian, Liu Yingjie, Tan Lun, Zhang Huang, Chen Quanzhi, Wu Pu, Zhou Hongzu and others, and the wind was the strongest.

So Tan Lun has always said that even if he is not the governor of military affairs, it is very good to have a look. The imperial court has reduced too much passivity.

This is related to the northern captive forces at this time. To the northwest is Khan Alta Khan of the Tumed tribe, which is the right-wing tribes, and to the northeast is Chahan Khan of the Tuman tribe, which is the left-wing tribes.

In the 36th year of Jiajing, the left and right wings of the northern captives officially broke up. The left wing Kuden Khan was not Altan Khan's opponent. He migrated eastward and moved to the Tianshou Mountains (Daxing'an Mountains). Western Jurchen, Jianzhou Jurchen and other ministries.

Tuman Khan calls himself Chahan Khan, and Chahan means white, the sun, the purest golden blood under the Longevity Heaven, the eastern sun, a similar extension.

Of course, Ming Dynasty called Tuman Khan as Tuman, or Tumen.

In October of the third year of Wanli, Tuman Khan had [-] cavalry in his hands.

However, Qi Jiguang had only [-] elite soldiers from Guangning as the main attack direction, Chen Dacheng had only [-] troops from Xifengkou as a support, and Li Chengliang went to Tieling to cut off the Haixi Jurchen and Jianzhou Jurchen to support the Daningwei.

The main attack was only 2000 elite soldiers, led by Qi Jiguang. It was snowing heavily. Responsible for transporting food and grass.

In the heavy snow, the army began to march towards the Great Ningwei.

The northwest wind is howling, and the sky and the earth seem to be hanging upside down. This snow is so big that it is almost impossible to tell the difference between the south, the south and the north, and it is so big that it is almost impossible to tell the up and down. The footprints stepped on by people who just walked by, disappeared after a gust of wind. Without a trace, this is the white hair wind on the grassland. In the snowstorm, there is no animal activity, except that the Ming army is advancing.

Liang Menglong checked the food and grass, looked at the heavy snow, breathed out, and said to Ma Fang who was beside him suspiciously: "Isn't it unwise for us to enter the army at this time with such heavy snow?"

Ma Fang shook her head and said, "Believe it or not, Qi Shuai can walk to Daningwei with his eyes closed?"

"Qi Shuai is also a human being." Liang Menglong said angrily. Qi Jiguang is also a human being. In this weather, even Xiong Wei is hiding in the cave, refusing to move. Ma Fang's words are simply unreasonable.

Ma Fang laughed twice and said, "Frostbite is an important factor for non-combat attrition in heavy snow."

"Before this departure, the Ministry of Households allocated 5000 cotton-padded coats, and the Beijing camp had three cotton-padded coats, each of which was priced at one tael or five, which was 12 taels; another 6 pairs of moccasin boots were given. For the pair of shoes under our feet, we wear one pair and prepare another pair, one pair is six taels of silver, totaling [-] taels of silver; the hood is [-] pieces, one is two taels of silver, and thirty thousand pieces is [-] taels.”

The hood is a kind of windproof cap. The cap is divided into left and right pieces. The top of the cap covers the forehead.

Liang Menglong stomped his feet vigorously, this sergeant is not a sergeant, he is clearly a bunch of walking silver ingots!

Ma Fang put her two hands into each other's sleeves, and said as she walked forward; "heavy snow will hinder the movement of soldiers, and the wheeled vehicles may encounter slipping and pits. When there is heavy snow, the road is impassable." , It may be necessary to detour tens of miles or even hundreds of miles to places that were previously accessible. Marching in the white hair wind, the visibility is very low, and it is impossible to identify the road and determine the direction, and it is even impossible to march."

"But there is a limit, that is one foot deep."

"This snow looks heavy. In fact, the heavy snow in October is only one foot deep. It doesn't affect the driving. Look, it will stop after a few hours."

"Qi Shuai is not so much a gifted person as he is a meticulous observer and careful in everything."

Sure enough, when the camp was set up, the snow in the sky gradually became thinner. Liang Menglong specially took a construction ruler and inserted it into the snow. The snow was less than one foot thick, only three centimeters short.

"It's amazing!" Liang Menglong said in amazement while holding the ruler.

Ma Fang still put his hands in his hands. He was too old to move anymore. Looking at Liang Menglong's surprised expression, he said, "Do you know how long Qi Shuai has been preparing for the battle? It has been eight years since the second year of Longqing." .”

"He's been waiting for this opportunity."

　When the author wrote this, he remembered Qi Shuai's self-deprecating sentence: Treat it like a wart, and An Cong will spread it.Qi Jiguang only needs one chance, a chance to fight.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
