Chapter 206 Qi Jiajun
"Although I had only had a few contacts just now, in the eyes of the young son, these soldiers were skilled in martial arts, not afraid of enemy troops, and marched consistently, and cooperated with tacit understanding. With such soldiers, they could easily defeat the Japanese pirates without General Qi's attack." Li You said sincerely. These soldiers were no less than the Yue family army he had seen in the past, far better than the Han cavalry and the soldiers under the princes of the Three Kingdoms. Although Zhang Xun's Suiyang defenders might be slightly better in will, they were far inferior in martial arts and cooperation. If both sides fought with the same forces, the Qi family army would win but not lose.
With such an army, Qi Jiguang's personal martial arts became insignificant. Even if he was as weak as Chen Qingzhi, he was enough to command the army to defeat his opponents; he was a brave general like Xiang Yu who led the army to charge with his personal bravery to defeat the enemy to win a great victory, and he was as resourceful as Yu Yunwen, and made careful arrangements to make the enemy flee without any escape, while he was famous generals who were both good and no shortage, such as Yue Fei, Li Jing, and Qi Jiguang.
However, with the establishment of the Qi family army, he may have no chance to kill the enemy in the future. In this era, who will be the opponent of this army?
When he heard that Li You praised his army, Qi Jiguang was even happier than when he heard him praise him. He laughed and returned the Zhentian Bow to Li You, "A gentleman does not take away what others like. Does Wen Yang look down on Qi?"
"I don't dare to die late." Li You quickly apologized, but he didn't have that intention.
Then Qi Jiguang carefully appreciated Li You's Tang sword. Because the shape of the Tang sword is quite similar to the long sword used by the Qi family army, Qi Jiguang studied it for a long time and even tried to wave it a few times to feel the power of the sword.
Although there are many legends about the invincible battle of the Qi family army in later generations, few people know that in addition to being proficient in military strategies, Qi Jiguang's personal martial arts are also good. During the Battle of Longshan, he shot three arrows in a row like Xue Rengui, and changed the situation of the entire battle with one person.
In the "New Book of Ji Xiao" he wrote, there were detailed primitives of shooting skills, as well as records of boxing, swordsmanship, and gunsmanship. If it were put in the martial arts world, Qi Jiguang would definitely try a martial arts master who was not inferior to Huang Shang. Seeing that his swordsmanship was not fancy, he went straight to the key points, which was the usual swordsmanship in the army.
"A knife is a good knife, but unfortunately it is too expensive after all." Qi Jiguang returned the Tang sword to Li Youshi and said regretfully, "Even if all the military pay in our army is used to create this kind of knife, it may not be enough."
This is indeed a matter. Several military supplies value costs. If consumables like weapons are too expensive, the Ming Dynasty's finances will collapse; this is like the later F22s have excellent performance, even the United States does not have the ability to have large-scale equipment. After only 195 aircraft were built, the production line had to be suspended.
After this contact, Qi Jiguang became more and more curious about Li You. Like Zhentian Gong and the Tang sword just now, they were not something that ordinary wealthy families could have. However, after several descendants of the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty, he did not find a person who was similar to Li You. He had to change the topic, "Is Wenyang going to Taizhou?"
"Yes, Wansheng heard that General Qi was training troops in Taizhou to prevent Japanese pirates, and was about to go and see, but he didn't expect to meet General Qi here." Li You did not hide his purpose and said directly, "If General Qi does not dislike him, Wansheng would like to serve under General Qi for the time being." After that, Li You bowed and bowed again.
"A talent like Wenyang is willing to help Qi to suppress the Japanese pirates, but Qi is unsuccessful." Not to mention a person like Li You who is both civil and military, even an ordinary scholar is willing to join the Qi family's army, Qi Jiguang will never refuse, because in this era, there are very few scholars, and anyone who knows literacy is a rare talent. Not to mention helping him praise military affairs, sorting out money and food, it is a great help to the army.
Therefore, although Qi Jiguang knew that Li You would never be able to live in his army for a long time, he still didn't want to let this talent go. Not to mention that it would be good to help train archers in the army with his archery skills just now.
"I'll bother General Qi during this period of night." When Qi Jiguang agreed, Li You was overjoyed. He learned many useful skills from Chen Qingzhi, Li Guang, Zhang Xun and others. I believe he will gain a lot of money next to Qi Jiguang this time, right? When he was placed in Taizhou, he must discuss military tactics with him.
At this time, Qi Jiguang's soldiers had cleaned the battlefield, cut off the heads of these Japanese pirates, confiscated all their weapons and goods, and even Li You and Qi Jiguang's feather arrows helped them find them back.
Qi Jiguang divided the goods into two parts, and rewarded them partly to the people of the village next to him to thank them for their cooperation in the war; the other part was rewarded to the soldiers who had just gone to fight according to military rules.
Li You noticed a detail. According to the military rules of the Ming Dynasty, he used the first level to judge the merits on the battlefield, but when Qi Jiguang made a slight adjustment. Although he also used the first level to judge the merits, Qi Jiguang did not like other troops who would give the silver to whom he would cut the head. Instead, he rewarded each of them according to the position of each person in the queue. Each of the soldiers in the front row received the first level to reward the merits, and the second level to half, and the third level to half.
In this way, it can avoid the formation chaos in order to compete for the head, thus giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. The soldiers in the team only need to stand in their own positions and attack according to the training. As for the fire soldiers in the beheaded team, they will never worry that their contribution will be plundered by others.
It was indeed a good idea, Li You secretly praised; look at the formation of these people, each team had 12 people, two people at the front, one held a long card, and one held a rattan card with a javelin and a waist knife, which should be used to cover the advance of the rear army; behind them, two people held wolf zithers in their hands. The wolf zithers used bamboo grown in the south, and chose the old and solid ones, cut the end of the bamboo into a sharp shape, and left sharp branches around them. Each wolf zither was about 3 meters long, which could disrupt the enemy's formation to cover the advancement of the front long cards and rattan cards.
Next are two spearmen on the left and right, respectively, to meet the shield and wolf wielders on the left and right sides in front. At the same time, they should also be the main force in the entire team to kill the enemy; followed by two soldiers holding "palladium boring" as guards, support and other work; and a captain commanded the battle, the fire soldiers carried the baggage and killed the heads, and an extremely flexible team was formed like this.
