Chapter 1,223 On this side of the sea, the gods gather together
"Drink-ha-!"
In the camp, the sound of neat drills came from the camp.
Each of these soldiers has a completely new outlook on life. A few years ago, they might not even have recognized themselves.
Because the Zhejiang soldiers at that time were notoriously bad.
The guards soldiers had no training and no orders to fight, so their combat effectiveness was extremely low; the Lishui soldiers came from mountainous areas and were strong and dared to charge forward, but they were brave and foolhardy and did not obey orders;
The weak will be strong, but when strong, there will be nothing; Shaoxing soldiers are too shrewd and calculating, and they often kill each other if they only have heads...
To be precise, soldiers from the south, north, and south of the Ming Dynasty were in the following situations amid the deformed system and the culture of corruption from top to bottom.
But now, the Zhejiang rebels have rebelled.
There have been radical changes.
This is inseparable from the training of the two generals.
"The hand must be steady and the strength must be sufficient!"
"Always remember to stay still and don't thrust out rashly. If you thrust out, you won't be able to hit the thief. If the thief hits you in turn, it will mean life or death!"
"Watch it!"
The instructor was holding a long stick, tall, burly, and majestic. He was none other than Yu Dayou, who had been promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of Zhejiang Province due to his military exploits.
He not only taught the soldiers how to use force, but also wrote a book called "Sword Classic" called "Sword", which actually talks about the use of sticks, spears and long weapons, and vividly explains the secret of the transformation of the strange and the positive, "
Just in front of his strength, softly taking advantage of his strength, he is busy and I wait quietly, knowing how to beat him and let him fight."
What Yu Dayou was training was combat skills, and what he was practicing on the other side was marching and formation. A group of soldiers were seen marching together, in groups of eleven, with the captain in the middle, and wolf soldiers, spearmen, and spearmen lined up on both sides.
Spear soldiers, sword soldiers, and gun soldiers, holding different weapons, formed five mutually covering fronts, capable of both offense and defense.
Looking at the waving of the flag, it was a young general who was calm and resolute, somewhat elegant, yet still brave.
This person is none other than Qi Jiguang, who is not yet thirty years old this year.
Qi Jiguang's father was a military commander in the capital, which gave him the conditions to learn literature and martial arts since he was a child. When his father died when he was seventeen, he took up the post of commander of the Dengzhou Guard in Shandong, and later led the children of six counties in Shandong to guard Ji.
Door.
And just before An Da Khan broke through the Great Wall and came to Beijing to show off his power, Qi Jiguang, who was in his twenties, wrote to the imperial court "Preparing An Da Countermeasures". The result was undoubtedly that everything fell into the sea without even making a splash.
However, in history, Hu Zongxian valued Qi Jiguang. One theory is that it was because he saw "Preparing My Answers" and felt that his civil and military strategies were of high quality and his future would be limitless, so he reused him.
In his busy schedule, Yu Dayou also paid attention to the changes in the battle formation on Qi Jiguang's side and expressed his approval.
In fact, the Yuanyang Formation was not created by Qi Jiguang, but by another great talent, Tang Shunzhi. The Chariot Formation was taught by Yu Dayou, and Lu Boring also imparted a lot of military experience to him, but he carried forward these learned experiences and integrated them into a masterpiece.
The man was none other than Qi Jiguang. After a period of drill, the soldiers rested and the two of them got together.
In terms of age, Yu Dayou was nearly half a century old, and Qi Jiguang was in his prime, a generation behind him. He usually acted like a junior.
Yu Dayou was a forthright man, and he was a little dissatisfied with this respectful attitude in private: "Yuan Jing, if we are serious about running the army, if we believe that rewards must be punished, I am not as good as you, so why should I be so unfamiliar?"
Qi Jiguang, on the other hand, showed sincere respect: "The general in charge of the army attaches great importance to moderation, foresight and foresight, and has made perfect achievements. In the end, he is far inferior to..."
Yu Dayou was helpless, but he also emphasized: "The way to teach soldiers is to put temperance first, followed by skills. Loyalty and filial piety are the key to guiding them, so that they can know their righteousness and fight without end..." Qi Jiguang listened carefully and waited for this.
After everyone finished speaking, he asked for advice based on his own understanding. Just as the dragon and tiger were promoting each other, the bodyguards galloped into the arena and stepped forward to report: "Hu Zhongcheng invites Mr. Yu and General Qi to come and discuss matters!"
The two of them looked serious and set off immediately.
They were all from families with military positions, Yu Shi had one hundred families, and Qi had one thousand families. They received good education since childhood and were familiar with the rules of officialdom. However, Yu Dayou had an upright temperament and disdained fawning, so he was often impeached and removed from office.
On the other hand, Qi Jiguang was relatively tactful and flexible.
However, if not forced by the official environment, no one would be willing to grovel. Now that the two generals have Hu Zongxian's appreciation, they can show their talents. They are also convinced by the Shangguan who dares to come to the front line and has a brilliant strategy.
By the time we got to the hall, more than a dozen people had gathered here.
The famous general Lu Ti who first made great achievements in the anti-Japanese war, was implicated in prison, and then recovered again; Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, was originally a doctor in the Nanjing Ministry of War and was famous for his knowledge of soldiers. After arriving in Zhejiang, he also recruited local warriors early.
He trained troops to fight against Japanese invaders; he also had Xu Wei, a talented and talented staff member who was famous throughout the southeast, and Ma Ningyuan, a loyal and upright disciple, all of whom were confidants with outstanding talents.
As for the former seventh-rank inspector, now he is the governor of Zhejiang who is superior to the three divisions and is worthy of the name of the governor of a province. Hu Zongxian is dressed in casual clothes and does not put on any airs of superiority, but his calm and authoritative demeanor has been cultivated.
become.
After Yu and Qi arrived at this time, Hu Zongxian officially announced the news: "The capital has reported that Yan Song and his gang members were convicted. Yan Shifan was even more daring and escaped from prison. Now this animal is wanted in various places and must be captured!"
In history, when the strict Party collapsed, for Hu Zongxian, the sky basically fell. But now it is just the opposite, and his tone is full of joy.
Everyone present was even more overjoyed. Some time ago, due to the restart of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, the Yan Party removed Zhang Jing and Li Tianchong, and regarded Hu Zongxian as a thorn in their side. They were really worried that the intrigues in the court would destroy the hard-won resistance today.
In the overall situation of Japan, I never expected that Hu Zongxian was safe and sound, but Yan Ge, who was at the height of his power, fell down.
After Hu Zongxian was happy, he did not forget the business: "The Strict Party will no longer interfere with Zhejiang. The Jiangnan Weaving Bureau will be the key. When the maritime trade route is established, it will be the time to completely put down the Japanese pirate rebellion. I hope you will work together to return our southeast to us."
A peaceful and pure land for the people!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Everyone accepted the order: "Yes!"
The root cause of Japanese pirates is the maritime ban policy of the Ming Dynasty. Large coastal merchants were unable to conduct fair and honest trade, so they smuggled wildly and then colluded with Japanese people, forming a Japanese pirate rebellion that has caused harm intermittently to this day for nearly two hundred years.
The disappearance of Japanese pirates in history is, on the one hand, due to the Qi Army's annihilation. Japanese pirates are also human beings and were repeatedly defeated by the Qi Army with almost zero battle losses. Everyone would collapse; on the other hand, it was at the end of the Jiajing period that the sea ban policy existed in name only and was left to its own devices.
, in the Longqing Dynasty, it was simply switched on and off, and private overseas trade was officially recognized and gained legal status. Maritime merchants from Fujian and Zhejiang could make a lot of money, but of course they would no longer support the Japanese pirates behind their backs, which would in turn make things difficult for themselves.
The front was massacred and the rear had no help, and the Japanese pirates' troubles were completely put to rest.
Hu Zongxian's thinking was the same, tight at the front and loose at the back, giving both kindness and power.
The only difference is that in history, it was really uncontrollable and they simply turned it on and off. He planned to use the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to introduce the Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants onto the correct trade track, so that the coastal people would no longer be worried and live a good life.
As a result, military generals such as Lu Boring, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang received the task of attacking Japanese pirates with heavy blows;
Tan Lun, Xu Wei, and Ma Ningyuan focused their attention on the construction of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, and when necessary, they also dealt with the greedy eunuchs in the palace.
After the brief but crucial meeting, Hu Zongxian returned to his office, still in high spirits.
He was in his forties, which was the period when he was most astute and capable. He handled the affairs of Zhejiang in an orderly manner, and he also had to pay attention to the overall situation of the entire southeast.
This attitude made Li Yan very happy outside the house. After knocking on the door, he walked in. Looking at the figure in front of him, Hu Zongxian was stunned at first, and then said with great joy: "Sir!"
Li Yan said: "Ru Zhen."
The two of them didn't meet often, but they had a tacit understanding. After reminiscing about the past, Li Yan informed him about the affairs of the capital, including his recommendation to Jiajing, and Xu Fan's own cleverness, which led to his father not only losing the position of chief minister.
, even Ge Lao left sadly because he could no longer be a leader.
Upon hearing the choice of the first assistant, Hu Zongxian was stunned again.
An official who has no backing and has wasted more than ten years is satisfied to be able to show his talents in the southeast. He really has never thought about the glory of that extremely human minister. But even under such surprise, Hu Zongxian did not
He lost his composure and did not show any sincerity. He just bowed his hands and bowed deeply: "I would like to be loyal and loyal to the common people and the country. Chapter 1,223 On this side of the sea, the gods gathered together.
Japanese pirates are by no means a temporary success. If I disrupt the overall situation for the sake of the position of chief assistant, I...I choose not to fight!"
Li Yan showed approval and said with a smile: "You haven't changed, and your considerations are correct. It was the decline of the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes that required a chief minister who could turn the tide. If you make the national power even weaker for this position, you are putting the cart before the horse.
Already."
Hu Zongxian breathed a sigh of relief, but understood that this man might have had a plan for a long time. He asked for advice: "Then what should I do with the Japanese country according to your wishes?"
Li Yandao: "As a heavenly master, I will go first with the divine way, and Wang Zhi's pirates will follow. After the enemy's situation is clear, the Ming army will decide according to the situation."
The navy is the test that best reflects the comprehensive strength of a country. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty's treasury is empty, officials are in arrears, and there are natural and man-made disasters. It is okay to clean up Japanese pirates in coastal areas, but under normal circumstances, it is really not qualified to travel across the ocean and carry out a war to destroy the country.
Therefore, Li Yan's plan was to first conduct a Shinto investigation to see what kind of existence the Japanese country and even the land of gods in Gaotian Plains were like, and then use Wang Zhi's pirate troops to take the front line and pave the way for the Ming army.
Hu Zongxian understood his intention and immediately came up with various arrangements.
After the two parties agreed, Li Yan took his leave, rode the wind to the beach, and raised his palm. The earth, water, fire, wind, and the energy from all directions gathered together, and a ray of light shot straight into the sky. Summoning the gods!
The first one to appear was the Innocent Old Mother, whose strong faith and will turned into white lotuses, strolling down from the sky;
Behind them are two white jade-like dragon bodies winding through the void, accompanied by wind, rain, thunder and lightning. They are the little white dragon and the dragon girl brother and sister;
Finally, Bajie arrived slowly, carrying the branches of the ginseng tree on his shoulders and fanning the wind with his big ears;
The Innocent Old Mother, the Eight Heavenly Dragons Guangli Bodhisattva, the Dragon Girl Holding Pearls, the Purifying Altar Messenger... gathered in the East China Sea!
