Chapter 12: The Spring Hunt
Listening to Qi Jiguang's explanation, Shen Chongming could also understand, but he was still not satisfied with this formation, maybe it was okay to use this car to hang the formation with a slight charge, but now it is difficult to load ammunition with firearms, and the frequent staggered positions immediately lose the advantage of cavalry speed, so this formation is not advisable.
Listening to Shen Chongming's concerns, Qi Jiguang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Then let's use the cranes in the crane wing array, you can lead your cavalry to attack from the enemy's flank, so that you don't have to contact the enemy, you can kill and injure a large number of enemy soldiers by relying on the firearms in your hands, and the speed of the war horse will not be affected, even if the soldiers need to replace the firearms and ammunition, you don't have to worry too much, as long as the equestrian skills are proficient!" ”
Looking at the schematic diagram drawn by Qi Jiguang, Shen Chongming couldn't help but laugh: "This formation is good, when the time comes, we can use the advantage of speed to repeatedly impact from the enemy's flank a few times, so that the lethality will be even greater!" ”
"Well, Lord Shen, what you said is right, you try it first, if there are any shortcomings, we are modifying them one by one, the formation left by the ancestors, as long as it is properly combined, it is a new formation!" Looking at the formation he proposed, Shen Chongming felt satisfied, and Qi Jiguang was also very happy.
"Hehe, my lord, you are worthy of being a master of the art of war, the hour is still early, why don't you tell your subordinates about the extermination of the Japanese invaders! The lower officials are also easy to learn, what if they are used one day? "Shen Chongming has always been very interested in Qi Jiguang's anti-Japanese affairs, and it is really a very cool thing to listen to his torture and killing of little devils.
"Hehe, okay, then the official will give you a good talk, if you want to talk about the Japanese ......"
In the early spring of the second year of Longqing, the Imperial Palace.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what else can I do as an emperor?" Emperor Longqing lost his temper rarely, and in front of him were several ministers of the cabinet and the heads of various departments and yamen.
"Your Majesty, the spring cold is steep, it is really inappropriate to go out hunting at this time, it is not good to feel the wind and cold, and you are the master of a country, and you have to make decisions about national affairs, if you are greedy for enjoyment, I am afraid that the people will complain!" Xu Jie persuaded bitterly.
"Hmph, am I just for pleasure? This time I went hunting, firstly, to see how the combat strength of my Ming army was, secondly, to see how the people of Gyeonggi lived, and thirdly, to distract myself, I lived in the palace all day long, and I was already tired of it! ”
"Your Majesty, forgive the old minister, it's not right for you to do this!" Ouyang Jingzhi followed in Xu Jie's footsteps, and when he saw that Xu Ge Lao was not able to deal with Emperor Longqing alone, he immediately stood up bravely.
"Say, I care about the people's livelihood and the combat strength of the imperial army, what's wrong with this!" Emperor Longqing asked with a dark face, these bastards can only let them wander around all day long, and I, the lord of the world, can't go out.
"Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven spends a lot of money on his patrols, but it is not comparable to ordinary people going out! In ancient times, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty toured the country, is this a lesson from the past? Ouyang Jingzhi pulled the tiger skin and pulled the banner, and directly lifted Emperor Yang of Sui out.
"Bastard, you even compare me to the king of the dead country, you ...... You ......" Emperor Longqing was so angry that he couldn't speak, this is far worse than Emperor Jiajing, if the old man is still alive, whoever says this will be pulled out immediately and killed.
"Your Majesty, the old minister didn't mean this, he just wanted you to understand the harm of the parade, there are hundreds of officials in the sky, if you want to understand the people's livelihood and the combat power of the army, just send someone to understand!" In a year's time, Emperor Longqing's temperament has long been understood by everyone, and it is soft to say that it sounds good, and it is weak to hear it, and now everyone is united around the cabinet headed by Xu Ge Lao, and there is no need to worry about the consequences of angering the emperor.
"Okay, that's a good point, it's only a hundred and ten miles out of the palace, is this a cruise? I understand your thoughts, don't you just want me to stay in the palace obediently and listen to you in everything, so that you can do whatever you want outside! Emperor Longqing, who was furious, was open-mouthed, and dared to blurt out these terrible words, but he frightened a group of courtiers.
Although everyone thinks like this, as long as they know it in their hearts, that person doesn't dare to say it, otherwise it will be a great crime that is tantamount to rebellion!
"The emperor is angry, the emperor is clear, the old ministers and colleagues are loyal to the emperor, a Dan heart can learn from the sun and the moon, everything you do is to think about my Ming Dynasty and the emperor!" Xu Jie's leader knelt down to show his loyalty, and a group of people also knelt to the ground.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, how can you slander the loyalty of your ministers so much?" Ouyang Jing said with an indignant face, as if he had been wronged.
Emperor Longqing laughed angrily: "Hehehe, what a word of loyalty is against the ear, it is wrong to say it!" ”
The others also looked at Ouyang Jingzhi with a reproachful face, you really overacted this play, the older you get, the more confused you become, you can't even speak, how can you directly find fault with the emperor?
Looking at this situation, Ouyang Jingzhi also knew that he had said the wrong thing, but the water that was spilled out of the words was impossible, so he could only say it head-on.
However, before he could speak, Emperor Longqing said: "I have lost my holy virtue, it doesn't matter if I don't sit on this throne, Xu Jie, let it be given to you!" As he spoke, he actually stood up.
Is this the real thing? Even Xu Jie, who looked down on Emperor Longqing more and more, was startled, pouted and began to beg for mercy: "The minister's sin deserves ten thousand deaths, and the sin deserves ten thousand deaths!" ”
"Hehe, then Ouyang Jingzhi, you can do it!" Emperor Longqing refused to give up, and turned his gaze to Ouyang Jingzhi, Ouyang Jingzhi didn't speak, rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground, which was really terrifying.
Seeing that a group of courtiers finally had the appearance of being a courtier, Emperor Longqing smiled coldly, and knew that this trick worked: "Hmph, now that I want to go out of the palace to hunt, which of you still has any objections!" ”
The death-like silence, the dozen or so ministers who were completely shocked by Emperor Longqing's move just now bowed their heads and remained silent, everyone knew in their hearts that this hunting matter was determined by Emperor Longqing, and if anyone was against it, it would be the next Ouyang Jingzhi, but he couldn't come out in favor, otherwise he would pile up this matter on his head if he dispersed, and it would be fatal.
Emperor Longqing is not a fool, as soon as he sees this situation, he knows what Xu Jie's meaning is, and he smiled coldly: "Xu Jie, are you still opposed?" ”
"Minister...... Ministers agree! "Now I can only compromise, and at this time, Xu Jie found that Emperor Longqing has some of his father's personality, and he is not a master who is easy to serve.
"But the emperor, the matter is very high, please wait for the date to be written, and wait for the ministers to make arrangements!" It happened suddenly, this matter has to be planned carefully, and the emperor must not be allowed to go too far.
"Okay, I'll wait for your news, at most half a month, let's all retreat!" Emperor Longqing waved his hand with a big grin, his expression was very arrogant, his humble expression disappeared without a trace, and Li Fang, who was standing on the side, suddenly felt that the person sitting there had become Emperor Jiajing again.
Seeing a few people walking out with Ouyang Jingzhi who was humming and chirping, the corners of Emperor Longqing's mouth couldn't help but smile proudly, today can be regarded as truly realizing the benefits of being an emperor.
"Li Fang! Don't be idle, Xu Jie's is obviously delaying time, and you are ready to prepare when you turn back, if Xu Jie's can't do it after half a month, we will leave the palace by ourselves! Emperor Longqing prepared with both hands and made up his mind to hunt once.
When he sat on the throne of Yu, he was cautious everywhere, for fear of being annoyed by his father if he did something wrong, and the emperor wanted to live a good life, but it was a pity that these guys persuaded themselves all day long, and it was not right to do that, if they didn't give them some color, they didn't know who was the lord of the world.
"Yes, the slave maid will do it immediately, with the protection of the three major battalions of Jingwei, it is absolutely foolproof!" Li Fang showed a rare smile, this was the first time since the death of Emperor Jiajing.
Outside the city, the Shenji Battalion.
"Hehe, yes, the formation is good, just with this formation, our Shenji Battalion will stabilize the head of the 3,000 battalion!" Seeing the 1,000 people on the right post on the school field constantly changing various formations, Cui Yong smiled with satisfaction: "Lord Qi, you really deserve to be a great expert in military training, this official admires it!" ”
"My lord has an overreputation, the training can progress so quickly, it is really beyond the expectations of the lower officials, our Shenji Battalion soldiers are worthy of being the elite of the army!" Speaking of this, Qi Jiguang also wondered, he originally wanted to have today's results, how could it take half a year, but he didn't expect that it would be completed in less than three months.
"Hehe, this is mainly because of the thick foundation of our Shenji Battalion, don't look at the flashy kung fu that the two adults practice on weekdays in order to escort the guard of honor, but as early as unknowingly, let the soldiers cooperate with the unusually tacit understanding, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort by practicing the formation!" Shen Chongming put forward a unique opinion, but this was not discovered by him, but brought by later generations, and the recruits were trained for three months of intensive training, and what they practiced was the tacit understanding between each other.
Qi Jiguang frowned and thought about it, it was really such a truth, nodded and smiled: "Lord Shen has a good opinion, you can see such a subtle thing!" ”
"Hehe, Lord Qi has won the award, everyone can practice this tacit understanding, and in the end, it depends on Lord Qi's formation!" For such a long time, Shen Chongming has become more and more admired Qi Jiguang in the arrangement of troops, and after discussing it many times, he has benefited a lot, and maybe he can really mix it up with the name of a famous general.
"By the way, Master Cui, there is no big deal these days, the lower official wants to go back to the city for a few days, you see......" The New Year's military party, plus it is a critical moment for military training, Shen Chongming can't go back to accompany Yan Yumeng, and he has always felt extremely guilty in his heart.
"Hehe, Lord Shen won't miss his wife at home!" Cui Yong asked with a very lewd smile, but Shen Chongming didn't admit it: "My lord, Xia Guan is still single, how can there be any wife in the family, but there are still some friends in the city, I haven't seen each other for so long, I really miss it very much!" ”
"Oh, well! You are allowed three days off, you have to return to the camp on time, otherwise Father-in-law Ji will find out, and it will be a big trouble! Saying that, Cui Yong wondered when he arrived, since the last time the theft case was discovered, it was rare to see Father-in-law Ji show up, this old eunuch wouldn't be sick!
To say that the relationship between the two is quite harmonious, Father-in-law Ji has been in the Shenji Camp for longer than Cui Yong, and he does not have the stinky problem of ordinary eunuchs, and he still respects Father-in-law Ji Cui Yong very much.
Thinking about it, Cui Yong decided to visit, but it was a coincidence that he couldn't write a book, and just when he had this thought, he saw Father-in-law Ji coming in a hurry.
