The two grateful Dade family members left with the food bags, and Min Yuanqi was also relieved in his heart.

In fact, at first, he wanted to cancel the family, but then it didn't feel right.

The family system will indeed hurt the combat power of the entire army, but there is no need to drive out the family members who already have them, and the loyalty under this identity is not too worried, in the past 100 years of the Ming Dynasty, the rebel battalion soldiers and guard soldiers do not know how many, but the mutinous and rebellious family has never heard of it, and there are many family members who are loyal to the Lord and do not retreat on the battlefield.

The kindness of several generations will indeed form inertial thinking, even in Min Yuanqi's subconscious, he has more trust in his family.

There is only one person in the 100 official halls of Nuoda, and there will be several servants who take turns to clean the official hall and the inner house, and they will cook according to Min Yuanqi's instructions every day before leaving, and then someone will clean up.

For such odd work, a bucket of food was given every month, and the women who came to the door to do the work were very grateful.

The entire official hall was silent, Min Yuanqi carried four hundred taels of silver to the warehouse and put it away, locked the door, and after being stunned for a while, the outside was already covered with moonlight.

There were bows hanging under the eaves, and the strings had been removed, and there were only various bows.

Most of these bows are damaged or have some defects, and they can't be sold for much money, otherwise they would have been sold out by Min Yuanqi's ancestors long ago under long-term embarrassment.

On the weapon rack, there are some large knives, two-handed long knives, ring head knives, Qi knives, as well as long weapons such as spears, halberds, and axes. There are also some bows and weapons in the warehouse, all of which are standard weapons made by the guard, which are not very valuable and are very well maintained.

The valuable swords, swords, and swords seized that year have all been sold out.

Min Yuanqi specially looked for some, but did not find any armor.

The ancestors' Shanwen armor and Qizi armor and other high-quality armor were also sold, and there was no armor in the guard, and in addition to weapons, there were some bowstrings and arrows in stock.

"Nineteen big guns, one long halberd, one long axe, three long knives, fifteen waist knives, three Qi knives, two long knives, and one ring head knife. Sixty-seven bows, twenty-one broken bows...... There are fifty or sixty bundles, about thirty or forty in a bundle, and there are more than 2,000 arrows, but many of them are broken, and they can only be used after repairing. ”

Min Yuanqi was boxing slowly in the courtyard, this is the evening exercise, he has been practicing the morning and evening exercises for more than ten years, and he has been practicing non-stop under the strict supervision of the elders.

When he was a teenager, Min Yuanqi used to be quite resistant, because after the end of Jiajing to the beginning of Wanli, there had been no war here in Yuntiguan for decades, and the soldiers of the guard station should transport the army north at most, beware of thieves and small bandits along the canal.

There are no external worries or internal troubles, what is the use of practicing martial arts diligently?

Later, after knowing his father Min Qianli's plan, Min Yuanqi also went out to Jin Ge Iron Horse, and the use of martial arts was really attentive.

In addition to practicing martial arts, it is also necessary to be literate, and in the future, if you can read and copy military orders, you must also learn arithmetic, learn the method of golden drum flags, and learn to read maps.

These things are all handed down from Jiangmen.

Judging from the numbers and rations of these weapons, the long halberds and axes are probably just out of interest, which ancestor is just playing for fun.

Waist knives, two-handed long knives, shields, this is the standard for knife players.

There are 120 people in the Ming military guard, according to the system established during the Taizu period, there are 20 sword players, 40 pikemen, and the rest are archers and gunners.

During the reign of Taizu, the regulations on the guards were divided into two parts and eight points of cultivation, and the composition of the troops was also clearly stipulated. Although there were strong cavalry in the early Ming Dynasty, the source of war horses was mainly the large horse farm in northern Anhui in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming army took this as the core to form a strong cavalry team in training and actual combat. However, due to the lack of war horses, the infantry is definitely still the main combat force.

Riding on foot, especially when the Northern Expedition was advancing westward, in the vast northern plains and even the grasslands, how to deal with the onslaught of cavalry was a difficult problem.

In addition to infantry coordination, it is to pay attention to the power of long-range strikes.

In the Song Dynasty, there were already assault muskets, which were passed down endlessly, and there were also firearms manufacturing in the early Ming Dynasty, but at the time of the Unification War, archers were still the mainstream.

Taizu's customized 100 households, more than seventy percent of the archers, a small number of sword and card players cover the gun formation, and the gun formation then covers the archers, forming a layered short-range defense and long-range attack force.

In addition, there is an elite cavalry assault, or to protect the wings.

The Song people were seriously short of horses, and in the early Ming Dynasty, because the Ming army also had strong cavalry, plus a large number of well-trained infantry, so from Xu Da Feng Sheng Fu Youde, to Lan Yu, they all swept across the desert and won many big victories against the remnant Yuan.

In the Zhu Di period, the national strength was restored, and a large number of firearms were assembled with infantry, and finally organized into the Shenji Battalion, which was also a pure firearms unit of the Ming army.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the three major battalions, Beijing and Nanjing have the establishment of the Shenji Battalion, until this moment, there are still Hechi Battalions and Shenji Battalions in Nanjing, and there was originally a Zhenwu Battalion, the Zhenwu Battalion was disbanded during the Longqing period, and the large and small school barracks were restored.

This is also the Portuguese shipwreck found after the Franc machine and Hongyi cannon, the Ming Dynasty can quickly imitate the reason, the top and bottom are attached, knowing that it is a militaristic heavy weapon, the late Ming Dynasty in the imitation and operation of firearms is quite excellent, but the entire imperial court system collapsed, up and down centrifugation, financial bankruptcy, firearms can not save the Ming Dynasty.

The weapons in front of him are barely enough to form a hundred households.

Min Yuanqi studied military science at an early age, and he was by no means a layman, but he now knew nothing about the tactical tactics of the breaking army, the tactics of the main force of the Ming army, and the tactics of the Qing army.

According to the formation and training of the troops at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Min Yuanqi had no bottom in his heart, and he didn't know if he could adapt to the current war.

……

After Min Yuanqi practiced a set of boxing, the woman who cooked had already cooked the rice and retired and left.

The moon was as cool as water, the surroundings gradually quieted down, most of the military households had eaten dinner, and everyone was in a good mood, Min Yuanqi faintly heard a lot of laughter, and the sound of children playing.

However, when Min Yuanqi was eating, everything was quiet.

An oil lamp is lit in the side compartment, the wax candle is an expensive item, there are dozens of hidden in the Min Mansion, but only when the distinguished guests come at night, they will light the wax, and the oil lamp is usually used.

The wick of the oil lamp is soaked in oil, and after being lit for a long time, it has to be cut off to make the room bright again.

The smoke is thick and smokes people's eyes, and reading a book under this kind of lamp is to look bad for the eyes.

On the table of Min Yuanqi is a big bowl of two rice, this kind of rice is half polished rice, half brown rice, and then a fried fish, a stall egg, and then with pickled snow mushrooms and pickled radish strips, the woman who cooks is a famous skillful hand in a hundred households, the food in front of her is lustrous and attractive, the taste is moderate, salty and light, and it looks appetizing.

But Min Yuanqi was not in a hurry to eat, but spread out a book to watch.

"The content of Ji Xiao's new book is too rich...... Min Yuanqi is still reading the first volume of the bundle chapter, in addition to the long soldiers, short soldiers, drill orders, battle orders, military orders, legal prohibitions, comparisons, camps, and expeditions...... There is a lot to cover.

From the way of generals, to military law, to the selection of soldiers, drills, and the proclamation of orders, as well as the usual military discipline, archery, sword, marksmanship, golden drum, garrison, and marching methods, there are all kinds of them, which are very rich.

And Qi Jiguang's preaching was plain, as if there were elders babbling in front of you, no matter how big or small, for fear that you wouldn't remember, so I would talk about it again and again.

A family of generals like the Min family, even if they were born in the Wei Institute, there is no shortage of weapons and military books. But Min Yuanqi didn't see that there were Liutao, Wu Zi, Jiang Yuan, and Sun Tzu's Art of War and other famous books on the art of war.

However, there is a set of Song people's martial arts records in my memory, with a total of more than 100 volumes, and later because it is a Song version of the book, the price is expensive, it seems to be more than 100 taels, and it was sold by Min Qianli when the Min family was in great distress more than ten years ago.

At present, the only military book that still exists at home is this set of new books printed more than 20 years ago.

Qi Jiguang's book became a sensation after it came out, and Qi Shuai was at the peak of power at that time, and he could be called a model of martial arts. However, Zhang Juzheng was liquidated after his death, and Qi Jiguang was also implicated, and he died of depression not long after.

In contrast, Li Chengliang because the force came from Jiading and Liaodong territory, the Mongols invaded Liaodong continuously, and did not dare to invade Qi Jiguang's Jizhen at all, and the good fighters had no outstanding achievements, although Li Chengliang looked at the counterattack sharply and beheaded more than 10,000, but Liaodong was also harassed not lightly, the Mongols were beheaded 10,000 levels, and how many Han people were looted and harmed by them?

But the more this is the case, the more unshakable Li Chengliang becomes, the court dares to transfer Qi Jiguang, but he doesn't dare to fight Li Chengliang's idea at all, because Qi Jiguang practices the whole, is all soldiers, and does not pay attention to the family. And Li Chengliang guarded Liaodong, and the main force was his thousands of Li Mansion cavalry, all of whom were members of the Li family, who depended on each other in life and death, sharing honor and disgrace.

If Li Chengliang moves, Liaodong will be chaotic, and the consequences will be much more serious than suppressing Qi Jiguang.

Min Yuanqi flipped through Ji Xiao's new book, ate slowly, compared the gains and losses of the two famous generals in his heart, and gradually had some ideas.

The method of military training must be learned from Qi Jiguang in today's world.

First of all, it is easy to get started, how to select soldiers, how to build equipment, how to practice marksmanship, how to practice military formation, and even the golden drum banner marching and camping have helped later generations think about it, and tell it in great detail.

The era of Qi Jiguang's military training and confrontation with the enemy is only a few decades away, and it is impossible for weapons and tactics to be outdated.

Qi Jiguang's prestige and military exploits show that he is not talking on paper, in fact, the generals rarely look at the Sun and Wu Art of War, but the civilian officials like it, they look at some of the Sun and Wu Art of War and think they know the soldiers, exaggerated, self-righteous, neither understand nor interested in the details. The Ming ancestral system is to control the military with literature, and the civil officials are indeed rich in knowledge, but the soldiers do not rely on knowledge, but rely on a solid military formation and people to fight with blood and sweat.

If such a system can have Xiong Tingbi and Lu Xiangsheng, there will also be Yuan Yingtai and Wang Huazhen.

Min Yuanqi doesn't know too many historical details, but he knows how to learn lessons from the fine fruits, he only knows Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang and several other famous generals, Yu Dayou's art of war is not at home, and he doesn't know how Yu Dashuai trained his troops, Li Chengliang's tactical tactics are mainly cavalry, and he is selected to be organized in the ranks of his family in the non-stop cavalry battle, and his light cavalry raid is a very distinctive tactic, and the infantry method Min Yuanqi does not know.

Li Chengliang has no way to learn, and the reason is very simple, there is not a single horse in the entire hundred households, and he is a cavalryman who learns an egg.
