"I have one more word." Min Yuanqi looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The cavalry is not in a hurry, and the fire is not a day's work, even if there are cavalry and a large number of guns in the future, they dare not use the infantry who are fighting to the death with sharp soldiers, and then fight to the death, what is the use?" Our Ming officers and soldiers have taken the crooked road, only heavy family and a small number of knife players, pikemen are only used as cannon fodder, when my Taizu put the world guard, after all, the spear is the most, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Fu Youde used two thousand pikemen with a thousand cavalry, a small number of archers, and did not fall behind tens of thousands of Mengyuan soldiers, so why come? At the beginning of the country, the gunners had been in battle for a long time, the array was skillful, the courage was outstanding, and they dared to meet the enemy's white blades and fight to the death, which was the confidence of the Ming Dynasty to annihilate the heroes and drive away Meng Yuan. In today's battle, the command, the firearms, and the cavalry have their own problems, including the defense of the bow and arrows, and they must also be careful to guard against the impact of enemy cavalry in the future, but the first thing, the most important thing, is to highlight the power of the pikeman's attack. Our array is based on the mandarin duck array, and according to Qi Shuai's arrangement, the wolf is in the front, the knife, the spear, the boring handle, and the firefighters are behind. When the large array was formed, the mandarin duck formations of the squads were set out, which faced the problem of insufficient spears and insufficient attack power on the large-scale battlefield. ”

Min Yuanqi talked eloquently, and everyone present listened attentively, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

As far as Min Yuanqi's heart is concerned, his admiration for Qi Jiguang is in his bones, but Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck array is in the southern water network dense area, and the opponent is the Japanese Kou, to be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese is strong and weak, but in general, it is a special product of a specific period, the name sounds scary, but the nine achievements are the pirates along the coast of the Ming Dynasty and the bankrupt seaside farmers, a small number of real Japanese and Chinese pirates joined forces, because of various factors such as the Ming Dynasty forbidden sea, coupled with the military equipment in the south, it has achieved certain success in a certain period of time.

After the rise of Qi Jiguang and other generals, the Japanese were quickly swept away, and the large-scale war was not the opponent of the officers and soldiers at all, let alone a famous general of the level of Qi and Yu.

The Mandarin Duck Array is suitable for fighting in the south, but for large-scale rogues and officers and soldiers, this array is not too suitable.

"The two wings, the middle army, and the rear formation, still retain a certain queue of mandarin duck formations, which can be combined with the cavalry to form a formation. In the front, my plan is to take the spears out of the mixed formation, form a separate spear flag team, several spear flag teams converge, in wartime it is a spear array, all the spears are gathered, a small number of knives are covered on the side, defensive bows and arrows and the enemy use rangers to disrupt the formation, the main formation is a purpose, the spear forward, break the formation, break the formation, break the formation! ”

Min Yuanqi's tone was unusually resolute, and he even made a powerful hand gesture to show his determination and will.

Everyone present stood up, and it would definitely take a lot of mental effort and readaptation to practice the gun formation, but after everyone felt Min Yuanqi's determination, who would say anything out of place? Moreover, in terms of everyone, Min Yuanqi is the one who led them to the battlefield, and he is the most trusted boss and commander of everyone.

"Subordinates obey the general's orders."

Everyone stood up and saluted, and said yes.

……

"You're talking bullshit, you're talking nonsense."

Yang Shili, who fell into a state of rage, stepped on his boots on the face of a bandit, and the other party floated dozens of miles from the sea, and then climbed ashore and it took several days to rush back to Yancheng, and rushed to the place where Yang Shili was to report the news as soon as possible.

Each bandit was ordered by Yang Shili, or at the request of the allies, with more than 200 bandits in large groups, dozens of people in small groups, and less than 700 bandits in many bandits, and then converged with 300 Qinshan Island bandits.

Originally, I thought it was to wipe out the 300th household in a flash, kill Min Yuanqi, and grab the method of drying salt, but the news reported back was unexpected, and Yang Shili's gaffe at this time can be regarded as excusable.

The boots were trampled on the bandit's face, and the bandit's teeth were trampled off, and his face and eyes were full of fear, but it was absolutely impossible to tell him to change his story and say that he was lying.

"Is the second child really dead?"

Yang Shili knew that the fiasco was a fact, but after all, he still had hope in his heart.

"The villain saw the cavalry rushing over with his own eyes, and the spear pierced Yang Sanye's chest, and the person must not live......"

"Get in your mother!"

Yang Shili's face was full of violence, and he stepped on the fugitive a few more times, this person was already half-dead, and finally ran back, but he died tragically at Yang Shili's feet.

"The proprietor, that Min Yuanqi is so strong, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control."

"Big boss, I'm afraid this person will come over to grab our territory and the trade route of salt."

"If you don't die if you fight a snake, you will be bitten by a snake."

Yang Shili is surrounded by his cronies, but the cronies also have their own territory, are afraid of undue changes, this time Yang Shili provoked a big war in order to avenge his personal vendetta, if he wins, he can also get the experience and craftsmen of drying salt by the way, the result is a fiasco, everyone can't help but complain in their hearts, and they are worried that Min Yuanqi will come south to retaliate.

More than 1,000 bandits are not Min Yuanqi's opponents, including 300 Qinshan Island bandits, and the strength is similar to more than 1,000 bandits, but they were all destroyed in a battle.

If this is the case, if Yang Shili and the others provoke powerful people who should not be provoked, especially judging from the narrative of fleeing back to the bandits, this Min Yuanqi and the soldiers and horses he led acted quite ruthlessly and left no room for error, and nearly a thousand bandits and pirates escaped with less than 100 people, most of them were killed on the spot, and not a single prisoner was left alive.

After the bandits were caught by the government, many people were beheaded, but at worst, they had to be interrogated and screened, and some of them were not very evil, or they were sentenced to military exile, or they were released after being locked up for a while.

The banner army led by Min Yuanqi directly killed all the people, and such a killing on the battlefield could not be pursued afterwards, and the people around Yang Shili were very dissatisfied when they thought of provoking such a powerful and cruel enemy.

Of course, these people dare to show dissatisfaction in front of them, or because Yang Shili is already weak, Yang Shida's power has long been destroyed, and now Yang Shiyong is finished, and the bandits most closely related to Yang Shili have also been completely wiped out, and Yang Shili's strength has been seriously weakened.

"Don't talk about the east and the west." Yang Shili's face was grim, his eyes flashed with a cruel light, he looked around slowly, in the end, Yu Wei was still there, everyone bowed their heads slightly, and they didn't dare to look at him.

"Send someone to Huai'an Mansion City." Yang Shili sneered and said, "Leave Min Yuanqi salt and murder to Liu Dashuai, and he will decide how to deal with it." As for me, tell Liu Shuai that I am willing to serve under the command of the marshal, well, just say that I only need the title of a guerrilla general! ”

Before this, Liu Zeqing gave Yang Shili the title of a general, Yang Shili had a group of people around him, several of whom were born in Xiucai, plus some gentry with a bad reputation, salt merchants, and more than 100 guards of salt ding, this is only the power on the surface, Yang Shili secretly controls hundreds or even thousands of salt lords, smuggler salt dealers, and of course bandits, whose power is second to none in Yancheng.

The most important thing is that there are smuggling channels for salt goods, and many big salt merchants also have smuggling channels, but they may not add up to Yang Shili alone.

It is inextricably linked with local gentry, salt merchants, foreign officials, gentry, and salt merchants, Liu Zeqing considered that this local snake has huge power and sufficient financial resources, and has dealings with officials in the DPRK and China, honorables, and eunuchs, but it is not easy to use strong, so he gave a general name and allowed Yang Shili to form a battalion and officially stationed in Yancheng.

In this way, if Yang Shili's power is clarified, he can set up tax cards to collect taxes and forcibly collect local money and grain, and the benefits that Liu Zeqing will get are the salt frying stove households and salt channels mastered by Yang Shili.

Yang Shili felt that he didn't get much from this deal, so he didn't agree to it at the first time, he wanted to dry Liu Zeqing and hope to get more benefits.

Who would have expected that things would change so far, Yang Shili only asked for a guerrilla, one was that his own strength was damaged, and the other was to give Liu Zeqing an obvious signal that Min Yuanqi had a salt pond over there, and he had a big enmity with himself, and it would be interesting to see what Liu Zeqing would do.

"Liu Shuai may not be in the fire for us, right?"

"Hmph, what a character like Caozhou Liu," Yang Shili glanced at the suspicious person and sneered: "He will know how to make trade-offs, and he also knows that good opportunities are hard to come by!" ”

……

With the passage of time, within more than ten days, Min Yuanqi led his troops to kill nearly 1,000 bandits, and it also spread throughout Jiangbei.

Except for some bandits in Xuzhou who once colluded with Yuan Shizhong and Xiangma in Shandong, and had many incidents in the Xuzhou area, the rest of the places basically did not suffer from military disasters and wars.

After the news of the bandits spread, people were surprised that there were more than 1,000 bandits in Jiangbei, and openly attacked the guards, but they were also shocked by the feat of Min Yuanqi leading the 400 guards to kill the bandits.

There are many guards in Jiangbei, from Xuzhou Wei to Huai'an Wei, Dahewei, and then to Yangzhou Zhuwei in Taizhou, there are dozens of guards in Jiangbei alone, and the density of the guards is about the same as that of the two capitals.

All because at the beginning of the country, Taizu built the capital of Nanjing, when Mengyuan was still there, Huai'an was the first line of defense in the north to confront Mengyuan in the early Ming Dynasty, even after the fall of Mengyuan, Nanjing was the capital, and Huaiyang was also an important town in the north of Nanjing, and its strategic position was extremely important.

Jiangbei, which has dozens of guards, is very clear about the combat effectiveness of the guards' banner army. The 400 Banner Army won a great victory over more than 1,000 bandits, and beheaded nearly 1,000 people, which was almost a miracle in the eyes of many people.

In the first few days, the rumors were just regarded as rumors, and even many people slapped the table and laughed after hearing about it.

Such an impossible thing is also made up by the group of people in the Min family?

After all, it is said that he defeated the bandits and beheaded dozens of them, so it can be regarded as a quite dazzling existence in Jiangbei.

Do you have to make it up so outrageous, but do you take others for fools?

After Min Qiande and Li Kecheng officially reported to the Dahe Health Department of Huai'an Prefecture, and then reported to Huai'an Mansion, Huaiyang Dao, Fengyang Governor and other places respectively, many people were stunned when they heard the news.

You must know that the private rumors are just that, the official report to the imperial court is to review the check, the northern chaos is not enough, Jiangbei is under the jurisdiction of Nanjing, Nanjing order still exists, the local is quiet as usual, beheading nearly a thousand is a rare event, not to mention the local health bureau and Huaiyang Road and Fengyang Governor, the governor, even the Nanjing military department will also be shocked by this matter, after all, Nanjing is said to be sitting in the south, the entire Jiangbei, Jiangnan and northern Anhui, southern Anhui, as well as Fujian, Zhejiang, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places military operations need to go through the Nanjing Military Department, The Nanjing Military Department can also dispatch troops and horses to quell the chaos and suppress bandits, and such a major event as the beheading of nearly 1,000 people is also a very rare major event in the Nanjing Military Department.
