Chapter 369: Excuses
The quality of the weather in the coastal areas depends to a large extent on whether the sea gives face, and if you give face, the wind and waves will be calm, and if you don't give face, the waves will be turbulent, and the storm will be raging.
What reassures Qian Yuan is that the sea is more irritable this year, although there are a few days of sunshine in the middle, but in general, such a violent storm has given the southeast a little more time to prepare and mobilize.
Take a boat and then go down to Huangyan, Qian Yuan stood on the bow of the boat and looked out, there were officers and soldiers on both sides of the Lingjiang River heading west, and the queue on the left could faintly see the long wolf's tooth whisk.
On the right is the new army personally organized by Tan Lun, which is marching towards Huangyan and Xinhe, and on the left is the Qi family's army, stationed in the Taozhu area.
These two areas are not the most likely locations to be invaded by the Japanese invaders, but once the Japanese invaders break through from Taiping County and Ninghai County, these two places will be the key to holding Taizhou.
For Qi Jiguang, Qian Yuan had high expectations.
He couldn't be better than Qi Jiguang, and after the relationship, Linpingshan launched it in the first battle to receive merit, and repeatedly recommended it to Hu Zongxian and Zhao Wenhua, so that Qi Jiguang became the first batch of generals to recruit troops into the army several years in advance, and even some time ago he did not hesitate to carry a black pot.
Qian Yuan has never been a saint, nor is he a hot-blooded youth, in the final analysis, it is because Qi Jiguang has this ability, in the original time and space, the Qi family army swept the southeast with a mandarin duck array, and returned the people to a peaceful world, and his own casualty rate was extremely low.
Until now, Qian Yuan will never forget what he saw in Suzhou, Jiaxing, and Songjiang after the First World War...... Fathers lost their sons, children lost their mothers, husbands and wives parted, roadside corpses, uninhabited villages, and orphans who wailed and ignored them.
Qian Yuan has his own little calculations for this southeast anti-Japanese war, but one thing is certain, those Japanese ...... At the very least, the Japanese who invaded the interior should be completely eradicated.
If the Qi family army can become an army one day earlier, it will be able to kill the Japanese one day earlier, maybe it will be able to save a few more people, and the southeast coast will be able to retain a little more vitality.
"It's so close, why send it." Wang came out of the cabin and walked to Qian Yuan's side, "Don't worry, Xinhe is fine." ”
"Even if you don't go to Hangzhou, you have to move to Linhai County." Qian Yuan thought for a while and said in a low voice: "The Xinhe Institute was only built last year, and most of them are family members in the army, and the conditions are ...... in all aspects."
"Impossible." Wang's willow eyebrows are upside down, she is a tiger girl in the gate, "It's because Xinhe is a family member in the army that I can't go." ”
Qian Yuan sighed and said, "If my sister can put her mind at ease, send her little nephew to Linhai...... Not to mention the rest, all the doctors of the small Fangmai family in Xinhe? ”
Although I don't know if Qi Jiguang will be as stealthy as in the original time and space in the future, Qian Yuan remembered that the Wang family once had a son, but he died early, and later succeeded a son and died again, so he was disheartened and completely tore his face with Qi Jiguang.
Wang hesitated for a while, walked back and forth a few steps, and couldn't make up his mind, this is true, in case of illness, there is no good doctor in Xinhe.
"Then it's settled." Qian Yuan quickly cut through the mess, "This time I will take it away, don't worry, some people will take care of it...... If my sister is not at ease, then she will also move to Linhai. ”
Wang glared at Qian Yuan, but acquiesced.
Qian Yuan muttered in his heart, Qi Jiguang, Lao Tzu has taken care of all your worries, if the Qi family army did not kill as depicted in countless history books, see if Lao Tzu does not put you in the eighteenth appearance!
But Wang's next words made Qian Yuan speechless, really when Lao Tzu owed him Qi Jiguang?!
"And the silver?" Qian Yuan laughed angrily, "Sister, you go and ask, there are so many prefectures in Zhejiang, how many soldiers are in the southeast, the chief soldier and the deputy chief soldier, who can spend money as much as Qi Yuanjing?" ”
"It's not that you haven't seen it, let alone my uncle, even the Duke of Jingchuan can't wait to draw a knife and cut me!"
"Just yesterday, I received a letter from Yu Xujiang, saying that I was too eccentric, and my elbow turned out!"
Qian Yuan pressed the treasure capital on Qi Jiguang, the first time he robbed three thousand taels of four thousand taels of silver to Qi Jiguang, and some time ago, Hu Zongxian allocated another two thousand taels of silver, and Qian Yuan grabbed half of it and sent it to Yiwu.
For this reason, not only Yu Dayou, but even old friends such as Lu Bin and Dong Bangzheng wrote to complain...... Qian Yuan could only secretly scold himself for looking away back then, Zheng Ruozeng, a "cloth military strategist", was actually a dirty worker, and threw the black pot on Lao Tzu's head again and again.
Qi Jiguang is too good at spending money, in addition to spears and wolf tooth whisks, long knives and palladium need to be remade, so many blacksmiths in Jinhua and nearby Chuzhou and Taizhou have been requisitioned.
"Forget it." Wang also knew that Qian Yuan was not very easy to do, "The more than 2,000 soldiers selected are fully equipped, and there are still more than 1,000 soldiers waiting in Yiwu." ”
"It's really full, I don't know how hungry a man is!" Qian Yuan scolded: "He Qi Yuanjing can't make money, but he spends money lavishly, and he actually went to the Governor's Mansion to want a batch of birds!" ”
"Birds can't be sharper at killing." Wang sighed: "If there are a hundred birds, more than 1,000 soldiers will be killed. ”
"Then sister knows how much silver a bird gun costs?"
Looking at Qian Yuan, who was squinting, Wang coughed, "The day before yesterday in Linhai County, Yuan Jing also said that if a small team can be equipped with two bird guns, the certainty will be even greater. ”
Qian Yuan didn't bother to say more, Hu Zongxian didn't have many bird guns under his own hands, and the only one that became a system was Dong Bangzheng, the deputy chief soldier of Wusong, but there were only more than 100 bird guns.
Bird gun is also arquebus, from the West to East Asia, the first popular in Japan, no way, now Japan is the Warring States Period, playing is happy, and then because of the invasion of the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, it was gradually introduced into the Ming Dynasty.
As early as the 28th year of Jiajing, the first governor of Zhejiang, Zhu Kun, led the army to capture Zhoushan Shuangyu Port, and once captured the Portuguese craftsmen who could make bird guns, but this bird guns were too expensive and time-consuming, and the Ming army did not pay much attention to them.
In fact, the Ming army began to pay attention to the bird gun is from Qi Jiguang, the historical Qi army began to use a large number of bird guns in the later stage of the war against the Japanese, the mandarin duck array of twelve people equipped with two bird guns, the entire Qi army is equipped with a total of more than 2,000 birds.
It's a pity that the cost of the bird gun is too high, and after Qi Jiguang swept through the southeast and was transferred to Jimen, the mainstream firearms of the Ming army were once again transferred from arquebuses to firegate guns, and the turning point that may have changed the process was bypassed.
When he was in Hangzhou, Qian Yuan once talked to Hu Zongxian and Zheng Ruo about this, on the one hand, he had to hoard iron materials, on the other hand, he had to search for craftsmen and make as many bird guns as possible, but unfortunately it was useless for a while.
Downstream, and the wind is downstream, the speed of the boat is very fast, arrived in Huangyan County, rested at the wharf for one night, changed to a carriage on the second day, and arrived at Xinhesuo in the afternoon.
Qian Yuan didn't stay long, and left with Qi Jiguang's eldest son named Qi Zuoguo that day, only bringing two maids and maids who served daily.
"Xinhe is located between Huangyan and Taiping, only more than ten miles away from the coast. Qian Yuan bowed his hand and said goodbye, "I hope my sister will take care, wait for the sweep of the Japanese invaders, return victorious, and then bring Zuo Guo and my sister back together." ”
Although the Wang family was reluctant to have a son, he didn't bring it out on his face, and said in a bold manner: "Don't worry, if the Japanese dare to attack Xinhe, they won't be able to come and go!" ”
Qian Yuan smiled and nodded, there is such a saying in history, the Japanese invaded Xinhe, and the Wang family used their strength to protect the city, I don't know if this scene can be staged in this time and space.
That night, Qian Yuan stayed in Huangyan County for another night, but this time it was not at the pier.
Sending the Wang family back to Xinhe is just an interface, and picking up Qi Zuoguo is even more unexpected, and his goal is to come to Huangyan County again without attracting attention.
