The Northern Capture and the Southern Wai refer to the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who ravaged the north during the Jiajing period and the Japanese Invaders who continued to plunder the southeast coast.

Why did Yang Cong bet on this question of current affairs?

The reason is very simple, because at this time, the southern widows are not very troublesome, but the northern prisoners are very fierce.

According to what Yang Cong learned, the right-wing 30,000 princes of the Northern Yuan and Tatar departments have joined the Ming Dynasty almost every year in recent years, sometimes more than once a year, such as:

In the spring of the tenth year of Jiajing, Ji Nang gathered troops in Hetao, and will commit Yansui, seeing that the Ming army is prepared, he suddenly crossed the west of the river with more than 50,000 horses, attacked the two tribes of Yibula and Buer, and then stole into the Yongning realm, plundered away, and in the winter of the same year, Ji Nang committed Zhenyuan Pass again.

In March of the 11th year of Jiajing, Ji Nanzi Ji Neng begged for tribute, but the court did not allow it, and the little prince was furious, so he led 100,000 horses into Yansui Town.

In April of the twelfth year of Jiajing, after Ji Nang had more than 100,000 people in Helan Mountain, he divided his troops to disturb Liangzhou and Zhuanglang, and was successively defeated by Wang Fu, the deputy general soldier of the garrison, and Jiang Zheng, the general soldier. In the autumn and winter of the same year, he committed Yansui and Datong again, and entered the Xuanfu border fortress.

In June of the thirteenth year of Jiajing, Ji Nang entered Kou Xuanfu and commanded Zhao Bo to die in battle. In autumn and August, more than 40,000 horses rode back into Xuanfu.

Who is this auspicious bag, he doesn't seem to be famous in history, why is he so fierce?

He is not famous in history because he died early, in history he died in the twenty-first year of Jiajing, and his successor to the throne was his own brother, the famous Altan Khan.

Although this guy is not as famous as his younger brother Altan Khan in history, he has made a lot of jubilation in recent years, and the important towns of Yansui, Yulin, Datong and Xuanfu in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty have almost been robbed by him, and Jiajing now has a headache when he hears the name of this guy.

This problem can be said to be the biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty at the moment, so Yang Cong's many current affairs policies include this question: how to deal with the invasion of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!

Moreover, this is also one of the two problems that he is most sure to solve, the other is naturally to deal with the Japanese Kou, the North and the South, these two problems have been plaguing Daming for many years, he guessed that this palace test Jiajing is likely to come up with this aspect of the current policy, so, he attaches the most importance to these two problems, but he didn't expect that he really guessed it.

As for the answer, it is very simple, just use Qi Jiguang's method, because the Tatar Department of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was beaten by Qi Jiguang and had no temper at all, and finally had to choose to make peace with the Ming Dynasty.

So what method did Qi Jiguang use to make the Mengyuan cavalry lose a little temper?

This Yang Cong has also seen that the method used by Qi Jiguang is to train the chariot soldiers, bring the muskets and artillery on the special chariots, and turn the musketeers into lancers similar to long-range attacks, which can not only increase the mobility of the artillery, but also offset the speed advantage of the Mengyuan cavalry, and at the same time give full play to the advantages of the Ming Dynasty in firearms.

This set of tactics has a very obvious restraining effect on the Mengyuan cavalry, the chariot soldiers have muskets and artillery, which is more than twice the range of the bows and arrows used by the Mengyuan cavalry, and there are spears, rakes and wolf whisks in close combat, and there is an absolute advantage over the Mengyuan cavalry dominated by scimitars.

Qi Jiguang once led 8,000 chariots to defeat 30,000 Mengyuan cavalry, this number of enemies is quite exaggerated compared to now, because at this time, the Ming infantry is not the opponent of the Mengyuan cavalry at all, and the Ming infantry can't do the Mengyuan cavalry with the same strength, not to mention that the strength is only about 30% of the people.

Yang Cong naturally did a good job of the article on this set of tactics, in which he not only described in detail the tactics of the chariot soldiers, but also made a detailed description of the troop deployment and tactical coordination of border towns such as Yansui, Yulin, Datong, and Xuanfu.

At this time, he has this beauty in his heart, if Jiajing comes up with other strategic questions, he is really not sure that he will be able to stand out, but he is the most confident in this question, even if the examiner and Jiajing who read the paper do not understand the art of war, just the articles he has tempered for a long time can make their eyes shine.

However, he did not immediately write out the articles that he had already written and copied them to the answer sheet, but pretended to be struggling and slowly wrote the articles silently on scratch paper.

The reason why he did this was naturally because he didn't want others to think that he knew the exam questions in advance.

If he finishes the article in a few clicks, it's strange that people don't suspect him.

People don't care if he bets on the exam question or not, if he has the opportunity, these guys will definitely make a move, because at this time, Xia Yan's power in the capital is much stronger than Yangming's lineage, who knows how many of the examiners who invigilated are from Xia Yan's side, if they take the opportunity to catch themselves "current", then he will be speechless.

He pretended to type a draft for an hour or so, and the pre-prepared essay was "finally" written silently on the manuscript paper, and then he pretended to frown and ponder.

He didn't dare to copy the test paper after writing the draft, although there was only one time to take the exam, the exam time was a whole day, that is, from the morning to the afternoon, there were seven hours in between, if he finished the test paper in about an hour, then the next six hours would be difficult to load, so he simply did not copy the test paper, and kept pretending to revise the draft there.

This hall test is not as difficult as the township test and the will test, during the period want to drink the water thatched house or something, there is no problem, anyway, these tributes are equal to already Jinshi, the invigilator will not remember their names, in vain to be villains, but these tributes are extremely careful, even if there is no restriction on drinking water, they will not drink hard, even if the thatched house will not be named, they will not want to go up, because Emperor Jiajing is still watching it.

All candidates want to make a good impression in front of the emperor, so everyone is extremely careful, even if they are thirsty, they will not pick up the water cup to drink, at most they will take a small sip, even if they want to go to the thatched house, they will not get up and go, everyone basically can endure it, and they can't help it.

Seven hours is not long, but it is not short, Yang Cong doesn't know how many times he changed the draft, until the unitary time is approaching, he neatly copied the article to the test paper.

It didn't take long for the time to hand in the papers, and as soon as he handed in the test papers, the palace exam was over.

At this time, he had even begun to dream of being the champion, because this current policy was simply tailor-made for him, and he was really not sure about other things, as for how to deal with the invasion of the remnants of the Northern Yuan, he really didn't believe that anyone could come up with a better way.
