Since the 29th year of Jiajing, the Japanese have become more and more rampant, the southeast coastal guards are unbearable, and they will be defeated at the first touch, and in the 32nd year of Jiajing, Ligang was destroyed, and the Japanese invaders began to invade on a large scale, and most of their targets are such as Shaoxing, Ningbo, Jiaxing, Susong, these rich areas.

In the thirty-second year of Jiajing, the imperial court newly established the post of governor of Zhejiang, and the commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses of the six provinces was full-time to suppress the Japanese.

People of insight in the DPRK suggested restarting the conscription system and recruiting troops on the spot to resist the Japanese, which could also reduce the pressure on money and food, and the first to put it into action was Taizhou Tan Lun, and then under the intervention of Qian Yuan, Lu Bin, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou were all involved.

Qi Jiguang originally wanted to recruit troops in the troubled Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Jiaxing Mansions, but he was soon disappointed, and finally under the guidance of Qian Yuan's letter, he set his sights on Jinhua Mansion.

Speaking of Jinhua Mansion is not near the sea, but after 32 years of Jiajing, the large-scale invasion of the Japanese invaders has caused Jinhua to suffer a lot, although there are mountains on the west side, but the Japanese invaded Shaoxing Mansion several times, divided the troops to invade Jinhua, burned and plundered, miserable, and the people in this place are the kind of people who dare to play with their lives in order to survive, and naturally became the best source of soldiers.

Although there was no legendary battle of Babaoshan, Qi Jiguang soon found the most satisfactory soldier in Yiwu, Jinhua Mansion...... In fact, there is no Babao Mountain at all, only Babao Mountain, and there is no silver mine, Qi Jiguang's recruitment is mainly aimed at those honest farmers.

"Bei Lei?" Qian Yuan stood at the entrance of the town and shook his head slightly, after all, he was not a history major in his previous life, and he had never heard of this place.

"In February last year, the Japanese invaded Shaoxing and divided their troops to invade Jinhua." The old man beside him with white hair but straight waist introduced: "After the victory of Shaoxing, but the widows who stayed in Jinhua Mansion are in Yiwu...... The two major local clans suffered heavy damage, with many killed and houses destroyed. ”

This is the Yiwu County Order Zhao Dahe, is the same year of Qian Yuan, Jiajing 13 years in the move, 22 years before the Jinshi, in March this year was awarded the Yiwu County Order, before going south, Qian Yuan specially found him and talked about the recruitment in detail.

Qian Yuan vaguely remembered this name, it seemed to be the supervisor of the Qi family's army.

Later, Qi Jiguang got Hu Zongxian's permission to go to Yiwu to recruit troops, and Zhao Dahe spared no effort to run back and forth, so that Qi Jiguang could successfully recruit more than 3,000 troops locally, and there was no shortage of food.

"The people of Yiwu are fierce and fierce by nature, but they are not unreasonable, and they are indeed suitable for recruitment." Zhao Dahe explained: "There are two major local clans, one is the Lou clan and the other is the Chen clan, and this Beilei Town is where the Chen clan is located. ”

"It is said that Xiucai does not go out to know everything in the world, and at the beginning of last year, Zhancai suggested that Qi Yuanjing come to Yiwu to recruit soldiers...... Been here before? Wu Baipeng said with a smile.

Qian Yuan smiled and didn't speak, speaking of which, since he saw Qi Jiguang for the first time, he had paid a lot of attention to this place in Yiwu.

Wu Baipeng, a native of Yiwu, Zhao Dahe, now Yiwu Zhixian County, and Wang Daokun, who once served as Yiwu Zhixian County, Qi Jiguang went to Yiwu for the first time to recruit troops, and later Wang Daokun made a move, so that Qi Jiguang and Yiwu Qi recognized their relatives, so that they could successfully recruit more than 1,000 recruits.

"It is said that there is a family tree, but who knows whether it is true or not." Qian Yuan said with a smile: "It is said that the thirteenth generation of Qi Yuanjing's ancestors moved from Yiwu to Dingyuan, and then settled in Shandong during the Taizu period. ”

"Qi is not a big surname, it can always be related." Wu Baipeng said casually, his eyes fell on Qi Jimei, who came out to greet him.

Qi Jimei bowed his hand and saluted one by one, "The camp is still training, brother, please go and rest first, he will be there later." ”

"Let's go to the camp." Qian Yuan still had something in his heart, and he didn't want to delay for too long, so he complained: "As far as you have a lot of trouble, the ordnance transported from Nanjing, others can use it, but you can't use it?" ”

Qian Yuan stayed in Hangzhou for ten days, when the first batch of ordnance arrived, he wanted to rob it and send it to Yiwu, but Qi Jiguang wrote a letter to ask for silver, some ordnance to be built by himself, Hu Zongxian had no time to doppelgänger, this kind of coordination work has always been done by Wu Baipeng, just Qian Yuan was about to leave for Taizhou, Hu Zongxian asked Qian Yuan to inspect by the way.

Qian Yuan was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't have a good name, what was he going to inspect...... However, Hu Zongxian allocated 4,000 taels of silver in advance and asked Qian Yuan to escort him back to Taizhou Mansion, so he stopped by this trip.

It is said that Qi Jiguang is the most skilled general in history, Qian Yuan just approached the camp and felt a sense of slaughter, and saw through the fence that the dense soldiers with spears stood in a neat queue, no noise, no drill, no order.

The silent and oppressive atmosphere was just like the dark clouds in the sky, although it could be seen from a distance that some soldiers did not have weapons and ordnance in their hands, and only took a wooden stick to top the matter, but the queue and invisible pressure made the pace of the group slow down involuntarily.

For example, Qian Yuan and Wu Baipeng, as well as Yang Wen and other guards have all experienced wars, and they can see some doorways, their expressions are solemn, and they smile; For example, a layman like Zhao Dahe only knows that his throat is astringent and he can't speak, and his rapid panting can be heard clearly.

Qian Yuan was a little surprised, he originally wanted to see the mandarin duck formation of the famous Qi family's army, but he didn't expect that he was in line.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew through the woods not far from the camp, and a blinding lightning pierced the dim sky, and then there was a rumbling thunder.

"Not good." Wu Baipeng's face changed, "It's going to rain, Zhao County order, can you prepare ginger?" ”

"I didn't ...... No, I'll go. Zhao Dahe glanced at the queue that was still immovable, and hurriedly left with a few servants.

The weather in the southeast is like this, in July, it rains when it rains, Zhao Dahe left, the scattered raindrops have fallen, the guards have held up umbrellas to cover the heads of Qian Yuan and Wu Baipeng, in an instant, the raindrops became dense, accompanied by the howling wind, and everyone was damp.

Although Wu Baipeng is both civil and military, after all, he does not march into the army, and he was stunned to look at the queue standing in the pouring rain in the camp not far away, Qian Yuan was not surprised, it is said that in history, Qi Jiguang was transferred to the north, and many border troops disobeyed military orders......

Zhejiang soldiers 3,000 to, Chen suburbs, heavy rain, from the morning to the sun, planted and unmoved. The border army was horrified, and they knew the military order......

The soldiers inside stood still, and the group outside also froze and watched stupidly, and after a while, the heavy rain gradually eased, and the view was no longer blocked by the rain curtain.

Qian Yuan opened his eyes and looked closely, some of the soldiers were swaying, and some of the soldiers were unstable and dropped their weapons, and these people were immediately taken out of the queue and sent to the rear.

"It's supposed to be a draft." Qian Yuan muttered, "We need to form an army as soon as possible...... Pick up troops in the rain! ”

Different from similar planting in the rain in history, it is a show of military might, and this is the elimination of the weak and the strong.

"Unheard of since ancient times." Wu Baipeng habitually brushed his beard, but found that his beard was wet and mixed with rain, "Zhancai once said before that Qi Yuanjing has the style of a famous general in the world...... Or show that your eyes are poisonous. ”

Since he got acquainted and engaged in the suburbs of Wujiang County, Wu Baipeng knew Qian Yuan very well, and he knew that Qian Yuan had vigorously helped the wolf soldiers in Tianzhou, and as a result, Mrs. Wa and Zhong Nan led the wolf soldiers to have made meritorious contributions in the past two years.

Qian Yuan used to be a supporter of Hu Ruzhen, and it was even rumored in Beijing that Hu Ruzhen's promotion to the governor of Zhejiang Province had Qian Yuan's backing, and the result was that Hu Zongxian was indeed the best candidate for the southeast to resist the Japanese.

And Qian Yuan had told Qi Jiguang in front of Wu Baipeng as early as the year before last, and now everything that happened in front of him made Wu Baipeng believe that Qian Yuan was a talented person...... Indeed, in this regard, as long as you look at the "History of the Ming Dynasty" dialectically, Qian Yuan is indeed a talented person.

After a while, the light rain was dripping, the shouting could be faintly heard, the flags were waving on the main platform of the camp, the sound of gold could be faintly heard, and the queues of up to thousands gradually dispersed, disappearing into the open space one after another, neatly and solemnly, the order was forbidden, obviously, although there was a lack of armament, Qi Jiguang did not waste these few months.

Qian Yuan looked left and right, Qi Jimei didn't know where to go for a long time, but Zhao Dahe brought someone to send ginger soup, and Yang Wen went to scoop a few bowls and distribute them.

At this time, a military general with a helmet and armor strode out of the camp gate surrounded by more than a dozen personal soldiers.

"The Last General Has Seen ......"

"Okay, why should Yuan Jing be like this." Wu Baipeng and Qi Jiguang are also very familiar with each other, and immediately stepped forward to support them, although Wu Baipeng is only a patrol of the imperial history, but at least nominally he is a southeast anti-Japanese giant, Qi Jiguang, as a general, has to bow down.

Qi Jiguang turned his head to look at Qian Yuan, since Qian Yuan went to Huizhou in the first month of last year, the two had not seen each other for a year and a half.

"Talent ......"

Qian Yuan saluted and said, "Brother-in-law, don't come unharmed." ”
