Juye.

"General Tong, you are finally here, I am relieved that you are here!"

Yang Xin said weakly.

As he spoke, he covered his chest and drank a bowl of decoction that he said he had prepared himself, and he didn't know what the hell it was.

Next to him, Yan Tiaotang and other people who were familiar with the inside story had constipated expressions on their faces.

This bastard has been showing his acting skills so frantically during this time, saying that he has not recovered from serious injuries, and he extorts money every day, and he doesn't know how much he has blackmailed. As for what the hell he drank, anyway, he ate several catties of ginseng, and his face was full of red light, and he started to hold his heart every day as soon as he could use him.

But those gentry can only provide for him, after all, he can really fight when he doesn't win his heart.

He is more reliable than the official army.

The last time he counterattacked Yuncheng, he carried the iron power wooden stick and went forward, beating the incense cultists to flee in the wind, although he poured a basin of ice water on people that night, but he did show his strength, it can be said that with him in Juye, those local tyrants and inferior gentry can sleep peacefully, although it is still very painful when taking out the silver ticket. And not only Juye, but even the gentry in Caozhou, Jining and Puzhou all came to invite him to recuperate, but the gentry of Juye resolutely refused to let go.

"Yang Yishi was seriously injured, but he still fought on the battlefield for the country, and he is really a model for my generation."

A veteran said with emotion.

During this period of time, just from the Di newspaper, Yang Xin's image of fighting bloody battles with injuries is indeed on the paper, whether it is going deep into the thief's lair to kill the rebel criminals, or sticking to the giant field to resist the enemy outside the city, especially the counterattack Yuncheng beheaded dozens of levels and was the first to rush into the city, completely outlining an image of turning the tide, so it is normal for people who don't know the details to have misunderstandings.

"General Qi, I only serve Gong Qi in this life!"

Yang Xin raised his glass and said.

The veteran raised his glass and smiled movingly.

Well, this veteran who doesn't know his details yet is Qi Jin.

That is, Qi Jiguang's nephew, but modern research proves that he is an adopted son, and it is common for Ming Dynasty generals to bring a junior from the clan to adopt him as an adopted son and then train him as a successor.

Basically, they do it.

Qi Jin is Qi Jiguang's ancestral hometown of Dingyuan's nephew, but he was adopted as an adopted son and trained as a successor by him since he was a child, but Qi Jiguang was cleaned up by Wanli because he was Zhang Juzheng's henchman, and Qi Jin, who was already a deputy general at that time, was also dismissed. The war to aid Korea was reactivated, and then it was up and down in the Ming army system, and he never went to the battlefield again from military towns to various places, but because of Wanli's natural dislike for Qi Jiguang, his officials became smaller and smaller, and he was also in his sixties, and he was not much interested in his career.

Before, he was just a guerrilla.

Half a month ago, he was hastily promoted to deputy general, and as the deputy of the new Shandong general soldier Tong Zhonghua, he came to solve Xu Hongru's rebellion for Wanli.

The latter was originally the Sichuan Dusi.

Tong Zhonghua had previously led the second batch of Sichuan troops to reinforce Liaodong to the north.

They originally went north to Yun, just by the way to solve it, Wanli also knew that it was difficult to solve Xu Hongru and these people with those guards in Shandong alone, and the fiasco of the previous counterattack on Zou County has proved that these guards can't even beat the peasants. But the 5,000 Sichuan army led by Tong Zhonghua is much more reliable, not to mention that Tong Zhonghua is not just these 5,000 people, there are still behind him, he is just the vanguard of the Liao army, and the real main force is Chen Ce, the deputy general of Zunyi, and the Tusi soldiers of eastern Sichuan who went north later, that is, Qin Liangyu's brother Qin Bangping and others.

I have to say that Yang Xin chose the most inappropriate time for Xu Hongru to rebel.

These Ming troops, who originally fought the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, can be said to be the strongest on the battlefield in Liaodong, happened to have gone north in the past few months after the opening of the river, and it is said that they have reached Yangzhou, including the 3,000 Zhejiang troops commanded by Qi Jin during the Battle of the Hunhe River.

It can be said that the elite gathered in Luxi......

Of course, it has not yet arrived, and the canal is still freezing from Huai'an.

Tong Zhonghua had just arrived in Anqing, and then received an appointment, so he had to bring only 500 cavalry to land in Anqing, and rushed by land to stabilize the increasingly erosive situation in Shandong as soon as possible.

He is a true guerrilla.

But it must be inside the Great Wall, there are no elites there, and the guards there are no different from here.

And the only ones who can command them here are the guards that Yan Tiaotang put together.

In addition, there is Yang Yishi......

Well, Yang Yishi is not under their command!

Wanli learned that Yang Yishi was seriously injured and had not recovered, and had specially ordered him to recuperate first, his health was important, and he would put aside the war or something, Wanli also knew that Xu Hongru was actually not worth mentioning, although it seemed quite scary, but there was no such snowball situation in the local area. After all, at this time, the big earthquake has not yet happened, and the only ones who really joined are those who smell the incense, such a rebellion is not terrible, as long as it does not form a snowball, it is easy to solve, and Yang Xin's ace must be kept to deal with the wild boar skin, if Yang Xin is not injured, then he will do it, but since Yang Xin is injured, then try not to participate in the battle here.

In fact, Wanli summoned him back to Beijing.

But Yang Yishi is very righteous and reluctant, and he is reluctant to give up those gentry who have a deep relationship with him.

While he was drinking, an officer hurriedly walked in, walked up to the top commander of the original place, Yanxi Bingbei Dao Yan Tiaotang, and then whispered a few words.

The latter frowned.

"Mr. Tong, Tan Ma reported that there was an abnormality in the thief army of the Liang family."

He said to Tong Zhonghua.

"No matter what happens, we only need to hold on to the giant field, and the army will be able to arrive in a month at most, and then all the kings and Guantong will destroy the thieves."

Tong Zhonghua said with a smile.

"Mr. Tong, Mr. Yang is willing to go out of the city to explore and cut off a few of his thieves to wash the dust of Mr. Tong!"

Yang Xin stood up and said.

"Yang Yishi is still taking medicine, right?"

Tong Zhong said with a smile.

It was clear that he knew the bastard a little, and he had a lot of contempt for him.

"I'll take this medicine and it will work!"

Yang Xin said.

Then he went out with an unhappy face.

Qi Jin looked at Tong Zhonghua and glanced at him, Tong Zhonghua nodded slightly, Qi Jin immediately got up and followed, and after going out, his personal soldiers immediately followed, and the entourage who was setting up a table and drinking outside also got up and followed very tacitly. In the late Ming Dynasty, there were many kinds of family members, there were pure domestic slaves, there were accompanying family members, and they were about to lead their own hired mercenaries, but they also followed when they were transferred to other places, and they could only be used in official places, in fact, not only military generals, civil officials were officials in some dangerous places, and they would also support their families.

This was a system that the imperial court tacitly acquiesced in.

It is undeniable that these family members are very capable of fighting, and they are not afraid of going head-to-head with Jiannu, and they can even win Jiannu when hundreds of people fight.

But this system led to the fragmentation of the Ming army, each general's family only listened to this general, but the number of each general's family was not enough to deal with the large corps operations, they were like elite special forces, but the special forces were only suitable for small detachment operations, and no matter how strong they were in the field corps, they could only be crushed.

Qi Jiguang is trying to change this.

He just wanted the Ming army to return to the path of a real field corps.

But no one else wants to, it costs too much money for the imperial court, and no one is willing to pay such a huge amount of money except for a truly courageous reformer like Zhang Juzheng.

For the generals in the border towns, what they need is to raise their own respect, and the field corps will wipe out the surrounding hulu in one fell swoop, how will they play in the future? Like Li Chengliang, from time to time he took 1,800 elite family members out to plow the court, cut some heads and grab some property to come back to invite merit, but he didn't really eliminate these Hulu, so that the court must continue to support them, this is their way of playing.

There was no need for reform for Wenchen.

Fragmentation is good.

Fragmentation means that the power of the generals is always there, and it is never possible to threaten the power of civilian officials.

In the end, Qi Jiguang failed.

Then these fragmented Ming troops, after facing the field legions of Jiannu, basically lost their real ability to resist.

As for the real field corps of the Ming army......

Half of them are numbers on paper, their names that don't actually exist, they are only used to pay for the expensive families, and the rest of what exists is cannon fodder that needs to be hastily recruited when needed, and the effect is only to consume the enemy's physical strength. Therefore, in addition to the general's Jiading and the white pole soldiers equivalent to Tusi Jiading on the Liaodong battlefield, the only one who dared to fight with Jiannu was the Zhejiang army on the Hunhe battlefield, because these 3,000 Zhejiang troops were the only ones left, and the field army that continued Qi Jiguang's set of tactics.

Why did Qi Jin command them?

Because they were originally trained by Qi Jin when he was a general soldier in Jiangnan.

The real Qi family army no longer exists, the real Qi family army is just the one that Qi Jiguang trained when he was in Pingwaikou, and later he used this army as the backbone to retrain the northern soldiers of Jizhen, but after he stepped down, Jizhen was eroded again. The Zhejiang veterans and grassroots officers who returned to their hometowns were later used to join the Zhejiang army to aid Korea, including Qi Jin, the successor trained by Qi Jiguang, who was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Jiangnan after the war of aiding Korea, and then used these veterans who participated in the war of aiding Korea in Jiangnan to continue to train according to Qi Jiguang's tactics.

It can be regarded as retaining a little bit of the blood of the Qi family's army.

But it's only a low-profile version.

After all, decades have passed, but it is this low-profile version of the Qi family army that played an almost one-to-one exchange ratio with Jiannu in the field, and Jiannu rarely broke out on the battlefield.

This is the last time that China has kept pace with Europe after entering the era of hot weapons, and Qi Jin and his 3,000 Zhejiang troops who died in the Battle of the Hunhe River are like a cliff, cutting off China's road in the parallel of the army and Europe militarily, and from then on they can only watch Europe ride into the dust......

"I'm thinking, if Gong Qi was in charge of Jizhen for another ten years, would Daming still be like this?"

Yang Xin said with embarrassment.

Qi Jin, who was chasing after him with fifty family members, was silent.
