Chapter 634: Qi Jimei
It is difficult to say what people have happened to them, they have made meritorious contributions, left their names in history, formed parties for personal gain, and left a stench for thousands of years.
People who are played by the times can only go with the tide of the times, and their personal abilities cannot shake this era, and their personal vision cannot transcend this era.
Yan Song's efforts made him a white-faced traitor on a par with Qin Hui in history, and Emperor Jiajing's efforts made his reign the most mysterious era in the history of the Ming Dynasty for decades, and it also planted the signs of party strife.
It is difficult for an individual's efforts to influence the direction of one's own life trajectory, but it is difficult to say if there is a butterfly that travels through to influence it, at least there is such a possibility.
For example, Zhang Juzheng's overall thinking about maritime trade, such as Hu Zongxian's desire to pacify the civil unrest, such as Lu Bin, who is unknown in the history books, and Wu Baipeng, who was never reused in the Jiajing Dynasty.
and, in history, more Qi Jimei appeared as Qi Jiguang's brother.
At the head of Gutian County, Qi Jimei was wearing armor, holding the handle of the knife, and watching the battle situation carefully.
This is a small city, but the Gutian River, which leads directly to the Min River, passes through the city, which causes the thief army to dare not rush south without taking the county seat.
Thousands of thieves used the most brutal ant-attached siege method, and Qi Jimei only sent less than a quarter of his troops to defend the city, including local villagers.
"Don't worry." Qi Jimei glanced at Zhang San, who was impatient and climbed up to watch the battle, "Scout returns, the thief army's banner is chaotic, but it will not be less than five thousand." ”
"The rabble, even if it is an army of more than 10,000 thieves, is also a generation of native chickens and dogs." Zhang San muttered unhappily: "The young master on the ship has explained, and he can't make Yaoshan public lose." ”
Qi Jimei said with a smile: "The 3,000 officers and soldiers under the command of Yaoshan Gong have made great achievements in suppressing the Japanese in Fuzhou Mansion, and it is not difficult for ordinary officers and soldiers to defend Nanping County. ”
Liu Zhendong, the county magistrate of Gutian who was watching the battle from the sidelines, suddenly pointed not far away and shouted: "The thieves have gone to the city!" ”
Qi Jimei glanced at the past and shouted, "Zhang San! ”
As soon as the words came out, Zhang San had already picked up the long knife and led the soldiers behind him to pounce, and Qi Jimei motioned for the soldiers behind him to follow.
This group of thieves more than ten people, dressed in iron armor, quite fierce, but under the persecution of the wolf's tooth, Zhang San shouted and commanded, and the spears in the hands of the officers and soldiers desperately poked and stabbed the thieves in the lower circle, and quickly annihilated them? Only two or three of them threw themselves off the city.
Zhang San shook the long knife? The blood stains didn't go away, so he simply bent down and wiped the long knife on the clothes of the thief's corpse before putting the knife back into its sheath? He came over and muttered, "Actually wearing iron armor? Fujian is wider than Zhejiang? There is still such a good quality iron armor in the guard. ”
In fact, iron armor is not popular in the southeast army, and non-commissioned officers and even some middle and low-level generals use paper armor and cotton armor? Even if you have iron armor, your defense is insufficient due to quality.
Zhang San obviously said this? The iron armor was snatched from the guards by the thieves.
Most of the guards of the Fujian capital division are on the coast, such as Pinghaiwei, Zhendongwei, and Quanzhouwei, Xinghuawei, and Zhangzhou Wei in the southeast, but Fujian is different from other provinces, and there is a Fujian Xingdu Division, which sets up seven guards, Shao Wuwei, Tingzhou Wei, Jiangle Qianhu, etc., have fallen into the hands of thieves.
Qi Jimei stands at the head of the city? Don't look around, you can see it all with a telescope? Calling the shots from time to time? Commanding the non-commissioned officers to fill the gap? And let the commanders take turns to guard? Accumulate your stamina for the warplane.
In the thirty-third year of Jiajing, Chongde first met, Qi Jimei has not yet joined the army, and it has only been four years since Rujin? He has led thousands of troops, but he can be alone, and the three great victories of Changshui Town, Tongxiang, and Shanyin Huiji have achieved Qi Jimei's reputation.
After the victory in Shangyu, Qi Jimei was promoted to guerrilla general because of his military exploits, although he could not be ranked with his brother Qi Jiguang, but he was no longer covered by Qi Jiguang's brilliance.
Fujian rebellion, Wu Baipeng, Qi Jiguang, Qi Jimei successively went south into Fujian, there were Fujian officials commented, "Qi Men Shuangjie entered Fujian, and the Japanese invaded fear." ”
Qi Jiguang was stationed in Fuzhou Mansion and Funing Prefecture, but after half a year, he had already made a lot of achievements and won a lot of praise, and Qi Jimei was stationed in Gutian County until this moment, which could be regarded as the prelude to his southward entry into Fujian.
Liu Zhendong of Gutian Zhixian is a third-class jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing, and he happens to be a native of Jiaxing Mansion in Zhejiang, and he has long heard of Qian Yuan and the Qian family's guards.
That's true, at least most of the people around Qian Yuan are not very old, Qi Jiguang has just turned thirty years old, Qi Jimei is twenty-five years old, and Sun Piyang, Yang Wen, Liang Sheng and others are not more than thirty years old.
Seeing the thieves retreating, Qi Jimei began to inspect everywhere, or to check the masonry reserves, or to wrap up the wounded in person, laughing and joking with the soldiers, although the sea was bumpy, and the army marched all the way to Gutian County, but the morale of the army was high.
Watching Qi Jimei's every move from afar, Zhou Ze wanted to laugh a little.
In the 33rd year of Jiajing, Chongde was victorious, Qi Jimei killed the widow at the head of the city, Prime Minister Qian Yuan in the city, and then later in the four battles of Changshui Town, Tongxiang, Shanyin Huiji, and Shangyu, all of which were Qian Yuan sitting in the army.
has been serving under Qian Yuan for a long time, Qi Jimei's every move is unconsciously imitating Qian Yuan, caring for the wounded, wrapping up the wounded in person, checking the logistics, and eating with the soldiers in the city......
"Zhou Touer ......"
"Zhou Tou'er!"
The soldiers beside him were also from the Qian family's guards, and they dragged Zhou Ze, who was still in a trance, "Look, it seems to be ......"
Zhou Ze was excited, took out the telescope from his arms and looked at the northwest direction, there was a faint column of smoke in the mountain, and the smoke was mixed with a strange pink.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Zhou Ze took three steps and made two steps to Qi Jimei.
Qi Jimei was also in good spirits, you must know that although a team was sent to Nanping County to report the news, it is difficult to say how long Wu Baipeng can hold off the thief army several times his size.
"Red ......" Qi Jimei pondered in her heart, and pulled Liu Zhendong, the magistrate, "There is a river in the mountain that leads directly to Gutian Creek?" ”
"That's Stone Tower Mountain." Liu Zhendong looked at the northwest from afar, "Then it is Luoyuan County, Huokou Creek comes from Luoyuan County and flows into Gutian Creek." ”
The moment that bothers a general the most has come, and how to make the most accurate choice in the case of only vague and uncertain news will determine the upper limit of this general.
Qi Jimei has always shown the enemy to be weak and hides the main force in the city, which is nothing more than trying to attack back and forth and defeat the five thousand thieves outside the city in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, with more than 2,000 strong soldiers under his command, Qi Jimei was confident that he would defeat the thief army outside the city, but it would be difficult to achieve a complete victory...... You must know that the next step is to go west to Nanping, where there are still tens of thousands of thieves.
Qi Jimei realized that before the victory in Shangyu last year, Qian Yuan was hesitant when he was in the temporary residence of the Governor's Mansion in Dong'an Town, there were too many possibilities on the battlefield, and many times, there was only one correct answer.
Yu Dayou has really been hidden in Shita Mountain?
Will the scouts of the thief army find out Yu Dayou's traces? After all, Xiao Wan also went south from Jianning Mansion.
The thief army outside the city did not give up the siege, but this time it was a little thunderous and rainy, and they quickly retreated, Qi Jimei saw that there was smoke rising behind the thief army, and it was already noon.
Qi Jimei carefully inquired about the direction of Huokou Creek and the location of Shita Mountain, gritted his teeth and vigorously pounded the city wall, "Open the city gate, each team will go out of the city, the wolf tooth and the shield hand will go first, and Zhou Ze will lead the bird gun team and the tiger squat cannon to follow." ”
Looking back at Liu Zhendong, Qi Jimei said in a low voice: "Liu Zhixian, light the wolf smoke." ”
