The People's Army, the People's Army, God will not bless me, alas. On the sickbed, a gray-haired old man muttered, even if it came to this point, he was still loyal and worried about Daming.

This is the Dengzhou Mansion in Shandong, and the old man lying on the sickbed is General Qi, a famous general who has been dismissed and returned to his hometown, General Qi, who is only 58 years old, and now he looks like an old man of 70 or 80 years old, and he will pant for breath when he walks a few steps, like a candle in the wind.

General Qi, whose name is Yuanjing, was born on November 12, 1528, a native of Dengzhou, Shandong, a hereditary commander of Dengzhou Wei, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, an outstanding military strategist, calligrapher, poet, and national hero.

Jiajing twenty-three years, General Qi inherited the position of the ancestor, appointed as the commander of the Dengzhou Guard, two years later, General Qi was responsible for the management of the Tuntian affairs of the Dengzhou Guard, when the coastal area of Shandong suffered from the burning and looting of the Japanese robbers, General Qi had the intention to kill the thief, and wrote the poem "The marquis is not my will, but I hope the sea is peaceful".

After that, General Qi fought against the Japanese in the southeast coast for more than ten years, swept away the troubles that had been abusing the coastal areas for many years, and ensured the safety of the lives and property of the coastal people;

At the beginning of the first year of Longqing, General Qi fought against the Tatar invaders in the north for more than ten years, ensured the security of the northern territory, and wrote the 18-volume "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and the 14-volume "Actual Record of Military Training" and other famous military books, as well as the "Zhizhitang Collection" and the recitals and regulations submitted to the imperial court in various historical periods.

At the same time, General Qi was also an outstanding weapons expert and military engineer, who transformed and invented various fire attack weapons; The large and small warships and chariots he built made the Ming army's water and land equipment superior to the enemy; He creatively built a hollow enemy platform on the Great Wall, which could be attacked and defended, which was a very distinctive military project.

is such a general with excellent military talent and loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, who became a victim of the Ming court's infighting.

In the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet in the imperial court, died of illness, Zhang Juzheng was the biggest supporter of General Qi in the Ming court, and provided sufficient funds for General Qi's military training.

In the thirteenth year of Wanli (1585), Zhang Xigao impeached General Qi again, and General Qi was deposed as a result, and he fell ill after returning to his hometown.

In the thirteenth year of Wanli, General Qi was deposed, and in September of the same year, the People's Army officially raised its flag, and in just half a year, the People's Army swept the entire Guangdong.

I have to say that there are still a lot of people loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the People's Army is armed with sharp tiger head guns, but Fang Nan is not very sure about the battle between the People's Army and the Qi Army commanded by General Qi.

The Qi family army can be called the strongest army in this era, whether it is the Tatar cavalry or the coastal pirates, they are not the opponents of the Qi army, and they have fought one battle after another, playing the reputation of the Qi family army.

In the face of such an unusual Qi family's army, Fang Nan could only calm down and secretly develop the people's army, until General Qi was deposed, the Qi family's army was scattered, and the people's army, which had developed to the limit, came out of the mountains.

If General Qi is still there, and the Qi family army is still there, it is impossible for the People's Army to sweep the whole of Guangdong so easily, and it is obvious that the biggest enemy of the Ming court is himself.

After being deposed, General Qi returned to his hometown and could not afford to be ill, he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but was heartbroken by the Ming court, General Qi asked himself if he had not done anything worthy of the Ming Dynasty, and he did his best to do everything, but he ended up in such a fate.

General Qi knew that the emperor was not to blame for all this, everything was to blame on those selfish villains in the court, if Lord Zhang was still there, everything would not be like this.

Although he fell ill, General Qi was still very concerned about the Ming Dynasty, and when the Ming court sent Song Yingchang to lead the army to encircle and suppress the People's Army, the news of the People's Army's occupation of Guangdong was learned by General Qi.

Getting this news, General Qi felt very incredible, anti-thieves often appeared, but how could such a powerful anti-thief appear in Guangdong, it turned out that most of Guangdong had fallen, and even Guangzhou City was not saved.

In General Qi's impression, the anti-thieves are more of the chaotic people armed with all kinds of farm tools, how can such anti-thieves occupy Guangdong? But the People's Army did it.

At that time, General Qi could only curse the incompetence of his successor and the villain in the court, if he was still in Guangdong, he would lead the Qi family army to exterminate this thief.

General Qi knew that this curse was of little use, and could only hope that Song Yingchang would lead the army to exterminate the People's Army as soon as possible.

However, what General Qi didn't expect was that Song Yingchang led the army against the People's Army, and actually suffered two consecutive defeats, and the Ming army suffered heavy casualties.

Hearing this news, General Qi directly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body, which was already very weak, became even weaker, General Qi really couldn't understand, why was the People's Army so strong, was Song Yingchang too incompetent?

General Qi really wished that he could lead the army again and annihilate all the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, but when he felt his broken body, only his face was full of gloom.

Death was approaching, and General Qi, who was lying on the sickbed, had a lot of distracting thoughts in his mind.

He thought of the countless low-level people who could not eat enough under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and he thought of the People's Army who divided the land to the people, and he felt that the People's Army would be the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and the threat of the Tatars and the Japanese to the Ming Dynasty was far less than that of the People's Army.

Water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, if the Ming Dynasty loses the hearts of the people, then the Ming Dynasty will be finished.

But those ministers in the court, who cares about these low-level people, even if the people starve to death, what does it have to do with them.

General Qi's family has been poor since he was a child, and he has lived a hard life, he can see the hardships of the people at the bottom, he is very good to the people, and he treats the soldiers of the Qi family very well, and the soldiers are willing to die for General Qi.

It's a pity that he is just a general who leads troops to fight, not an official who governs a place, if he can become the first assistant like Lord Zhang, he will have the ability to change the Ming Dynasty at that time.

As long as the common people can live a good life, it is enough to just have enough to eat, and how can there be such a thief as the People's Army, which swept the whole of Guangdong in less than a year.

Tears of remorse flowed from the corners of General Qi's eyes, and he no longer knew what he should regret, whether he hated those villains in the court, or hated his lack of ability.

Night has fallen.

[I didn't dare to defile General Qi, but for a historical celebrity like General Qi, you can't write it at will, and his name won't appear in this chapter, it's easy 404]
