Chapter Forty-Eight: Tinder
Zhu Youxiao didn't look at Chen Hong at all, unfolded Qi Jin's question book in his hand, and put it aside after a few glances.
The content of the title is very simple, that is, there are many wars in Liaodong, and the side affairs are restless, Qi Jin, as a general of the Ming Dynasty, wants to be loyal to the country and share worries for the king, so he specially asked His Majesty to allow him to lead the Qi family army out of the customs.
Of course, Qi Jiajun's name will definitely not be mentioned in the question book, but that's probably what it means.
Out of customs?
Think beautifully.
After Zhu Youxiao heard Qi Jin's name, he had already made a decision in his heart. He will never let Qi Jin and Qi Jiajun get out of the customs.
What is Qi Jiajun?
Perhaps many people in later generations will know about the Qi family army and know that this Qi family army can fight well. But in Zhu Youxiao's view, this is just the appearance. He was concerned about the composition of the Qi family's army.
The so-called Qi family army represents not only an army, but also an innovation in tactics and a brand-new combat system.
In Zhu Youxiao's view, the innovation of the Qi family army is completely comparable to the cavalry and replaces the chariot, which is the key to the transformation of cold weapons into firearms warfare, and is a kind of rudimentary form similar to the group warfare of later generations.
The Qi family army used a large number of artillery muskets, and at the same time used array vehicles, more than a dozen or even dozens of arms worked together, and the cavalry was also derived from the lancers, which was similar to a bug.
In this era, there is no large-scale mechanization, firearms are not so sharp, and the tactics of the Qi family army are the most in line with the existence of this era. Cold weapons and firearms are used in concert, artillery and musketeers are in concert, and lancers and infantry are in harmony.
In conclusion, this is a very complex system. However, under this system, Qi Jiguang brought the combat effectiveness of all arms to the extreme, and combined them to produce a quantitative change where one plus one is greater than two.
Such a team, let alone fighting the Mongols and the Jurchens, is not false even if it fights any army in this era.
The defeat of Qi Jin's Hunhe Bridge was because the Qi family army only had three thousand troops, and the equipment was not competitive.
During the heyday of Qi Jiguang, the Qi family army had more than 24,000 people and 24 regiments and battalions. The combat effectiveness that has been exerted is definitely not what it is now.
But even if it is the crippled Qi family's army, this battle of the Hunhe River has also made a terrifying record.
Zhu Youxiao will let the Qi family army out of the customs if he is stupid, if the Qi family army is damaged, it will be the biggest loss of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Youxiao has been studying military training, but how to practice, he has never thought about this, and he didn't understand these things before he crossed.
In the end, the only way he could think of it was to find famous generals, such as Sun Chengzong, such as Lu Xiangsheng, and let them train the army, and then try to teach them something for later generations.
However, now that there is the Qi family's army, it is different!
You can use the Qi family army as the skeleton to create a new army! A force with firearms and cold weapons working together!
Artillery, flintlock pistols, and lancers are all arranged, and the artillery can be replaced with the famous six-pounder or eight-pounder guns in later generations, the arquebuses used in Qi Jiguang's era are replaced with flintlock pistols, and the armor is replaced with hydraulically stamped plate armor to create heavy infantry and a new car battalion, paired with lancers equipped with flintlock pistols.
Just this firepower, just this lineup, with the Qi family's army's fierce and fearless style, as well as strict military discipline, the cooperation of the mandarin duck array and the command art of advanced coordination. Zhu Youxiao didn't believe it and couldn't win!
Besides, there is Xu Guangqi, and Bi Maokang, if you still can't win, then don't let Chongzhen hang himself, let's find a crooked neck and die by ourselves.
There is not much such an army, and 50,000 people will be built in advance, and Zhu Youxiao believes that in this way, he will have the strength to fight.
Of course, this costs a lot of money, but Zhu Youxiao is not worried, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, robs it, and raids his house, he must make up enough money.
It's really not good, isn't there still Wei Zhongxian?
Zhu Youxiao made up his mind in his heart, anyway, this matter was done.
"Chen Hong." Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said angrily: "What are you pretending to be dead." got up, and immediately sent someone to deliver the decree, summoning Qi Jin into Beijing, and asking him to gather his men. ”
Qi Jiajun, that's tinder. Liaodong is eroded, and spending time and money there is a waste, and it is completely better to set up a stove and open it again.
The reputation of the Qi family, the iron blood of the Qi family, these will be passed on. A unit also has a temperament and character, and this temperament and character are related to the first military director, his character is strong, this army is strong, and the army has a soul. Since then, no matter how many stubble people this army has changed, its soul is still there.
A swordsman who fights against us, even if tomorrow is a death, he must also show his sword, and he will not be ashamed to fall under the opponent's sword; If you don't dare to show your sword, it will be a shame.
The Qi family army has such a tradition, and the belief instilled in this army by his first commander, Qi Jiguang, is still there, and their souls are still there.
The three thousand Qi family troops led by Qi Jin are the spark of this army. Zhu Youxiao will definitely not let this fire disappear, and Zhu Youxiao will use this army to burn a raging fire.
"Slave and maid, go now." Chen Hong hurriedly got up from the ground, turned around and ran outside.
When Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao sat down again, leaning on the couch, and the expression on his face gradually stabilized.
Chen Hong quickly arranged to come back, and at the same time he also brought a news, that is, Xu Guangqi was here.
Zhu Youxiao was in a better mood. Xu Guangqi came just in time, this is a big talent, and he is also a big talent that he needs.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Let him come in!" ”
At this time, Xu Guangqi was still a little apprehensive, he was training in Tongzhou, in order to serve the country and be loyal. However, the court was busy with party strife, and his training was hindered by various constraints, and no one cared about it, so he basically failed.
These days, Xu Guangqi was a little disheartened, so he went to the fold of the farewell.
Originally, Xu Guangqi thought that after this excerpt went up, he would get a permission, and then he could continue to farm in Tianjin.
Farming and writing books is something I want to do, but I didn't expect that after I went up, not only did I not get approval, but I was also summoned by His Majesty, and I was quite anxious.
Xu Guangqi was a little confused for a while, so, what is this going to do?
"Lord Xu, Your Majesty will let you in."
When Xu Guangqi was stunned, Chen Hong had already come to Xu Guangqi and said respectfully.
Xu Guangqi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "There is Lao Chen's father-in-law." ”
Xu Guangqi didn't dare to slack off on Chen Hong, I heard that this is a very favored father-in-law.
Chen Hong didn't dare to offend Xu Guangqi, this person looks inconspicuous now, but Chen Hong knows what kind of treatment Xu Guangqi has in His Majesty. In the past two days alone, His Majesty has asked Xu Guangqi eight times where he is, which shows the urgency.
