Although the situation on the coast is a hundred times more difficult and a thousand times more dangerous than here, he still hopes to go to the coast as soon as possible, which is where he can really play a big role.

As far as trading is concerned, his trip to the outside of Cyprus made a vigorous scene, causing shock to the government and the public, but in fact, compared with overseas trade, it is simply a drop in the bucket. In other days, once he opened up overseas trade routes and set foot in overseas trade, he could completely feed 100,000 elite soldiers by himself without spending a penny on the national treasury.

A few months ago, he applied to go to the coast in advance to exterminate the pirates and pirates, but was rejected by the emperor, asking him to train the troops first, and then run the mission of the desert trip.

However, the coast is his only place, and the emperor asked him to train the army to achieve this purpose in the end. He knew very well in his heart that only by ensuring the safe and normal trade between the imperial court and overseas could the overseas silver not be plundered by the eight wealthy clans, and not be robbed by the pirates and pirates on the sea.

Compared to this task, the 20,000 people under his command are simply not enough, and he must rely on the local officers and troops as well as the sailors of Fujian and Guangdong to get things done, but it is too difficult to get these local troops to cooperate closely.

He had great respect for Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi, that is, he could see that these two people still had their hearts set on the imperial court and sincerely wanted to serve the country, rather than for their own interests or local interests.

"How about adding another military governor? Even if it's the Admiral. Besides, he asked.

He meant to add a military governor to the commander-in-chief, and the meaning of the admiral was actually the same as that of the governor, that is, the name was different, just like the difference between the governor and the governor.

"No, what about the civilian governor? Furthermore, there are regulations in the imperial court that such official positions can only be held by civil officials. Qi Jiguang vetoed the idea.

He knew that he wanted him to come to the military governor, but he couldn't hold it, let alone the Jiliao Military Region.

"Forget it, the imperial court will consider the pros and cons of these things as a whole, and we don't have to overstep our responsibilities." Besides, he smiled freely.

"In fact, as long as you take 10,000 horses out of the pass, it is a victory, and your 10,000 horses are enough to contain the 20,000 elite soldiers of the king of Altan or even more. The subordinates of the king of Altan are only about 100,000 elite soldiers, and the rest are all second-rate, and there are people and horses recruited from various tribes, and they are not single-minded. The two major tribes of Warat and Uliangha have always been at odds with each other against the Tatars, and the king of Altan must also be on guard against a fire in the backyard, and may not be able to send troops without scruples as he did last time. ”

Qi Jiguang analyzed the possible battle situation.

Besides, nodding, he didn't expect that there was a mistake, and the 10,000 people brought out were really useful, and they could contain at least one-fifth of the main force of the king of Alta.

After the two of them finished discussing, they went to Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi to study this matter.

Although these two people have been troubled by the escape of the residents, after all, border defense is the top priority, so they still sat down with Qi Jiguang and analyzed it carefully.

The two men completely agreed with the analysis and said method of mixing sand, and they couldn't come up with a better idea.

"Lord Qincha, did you say that these residents fled because they were instigated by the White Lotus Sect bandits, so that they could take the opportunity to escape in the meantime." Wang Chonggu asked.

Besides, his heart moved, and he nodded: "Very likely." They probably think that the surname Yan has fallen into our hands, and their bottom is missing, so they have to flee quickly. ”

"It's okay if they escape, it saves them trouble, anyway, as long as they don't make trouble." Qi Jiguang said.

"What about the army over there? It is said that there are also many members of the White Lotus Sect in the border army. Fang asked at the right time.

"There's no good way, if you want to escape, you can only pay more attention to those who don't escape, anyway, we can't know who the White Lotus Sect is now." Besides, he smiled bitterly.

When he mentioned this, he hated Xiaojun, a bastard, but unfortunately he couldn't catch Xiaojun's figure at all, and he didn't hate it.

He is never worried about what will happen to Xiaojun, anyone in the world can have an accident, even this bastard will never have an accident, and the ability to escape is not the best in the world.

To be honest, under the current situation, it is not suitable for a large-scale elimination of the personnel of the White Lotus Sect, after all, both sides are still trying their best to negotiate peacefully, and the White Lotus Sect's agitation of the border army generals is just a sneaky act, and there is no too direct evidence now, the only silver ticket is still in the name of the little prince Hannaji, as for Li Zhipeng's confession, the White Lotus Sect can completely deny it.

In addition, the favorable evidence is the pill that pulls the poison, and the White Lotus Sect has too many excuses to deny in this regard, and it cannot be directly related to Zhao's whole body.

This kind of thing is like this, you know what's going on, but if you don't have evidence, you can't challenge the other party.

"If the main direction of the Tatar attack this autumn is us, I am afraid that our existing forces will not be able to hold it at all." Wang Chonggu complained bitterly.

"Other border gates don't dare to relax, so it is really difficult to increase the number of troops now, needless to say along the coast, they still ask the imperial court for reinforcements every day, and they can't draw troops." Qi Jiguang frowned.

"Then there is only one way to use the Beijing army, and I still have more than 10,000 people in Beijing, all of whom have been transferred to help guard the border passes." Besides.

"Rather than letting those 10,000 people guard the border here, it would be more effective for Lord Qincha to take them all out." Fang Fengshi said with a smile.

"No, I've been giving King Tita a headache for a few days since I took these 10,000 people out of the customs, and there will be no excuse if I bring more." Besides, he laughed.

He also knew that taking people out could contain the forces of the king of Alta better than at the border pass, but the king of Alta naturally understood this truth better, and now the reply not to let him lead the troops out of the customs has not yet come, but besides, there is an appointment in advance, he has already drawn the bottom line, and the king of Alta has to agree even if he pinchs his nose. But bringing more troops is that he himself is embarrassed to bring it up, which is called kicking his nose in the face.

Bringing more troops can certainly contain more of the Altan king's troops, but the danger of conflict is also doubled, and he never wants to really fight a decisive battle with the Altan king's cavalry outside the pass, in that case, the soldiers he has worked hard to train may end up in the same fate as the 5,000 infantry army led by Li Ling.

"It's not a good way to take more people out of the customs, in addition, your people are still in training, the emperor will not allow them to participate in actual combat, the only feasible thing is to recruit the Beijing army to help in the war." Qi Jiguang said.

The requisition of the Beijing army requires the emperor's nod, after all, the Beijing army is the force responsible for the security of the capital, and it is the country's last hole card, and it is easy not to take risks at the border pass, so the Beijing army has not fought in all the border battles. What I am afraid of is that if the Beijing army loses at the border pass, the heart will be completely empty, and once the capital cannot hold the country, it will die, and this situation is of course absolutely not allowed to happen.

"Can the emperor agree to let the Beijing army fight?" Wang Chonggu shook his head, already dispelling this thought in his heart.

"There are 40,000 people in the Beijing army, and it should be possible to transfer half of them, that is, 20,000 people. I sent letters to the emperor, Lord Zhang, and Lord Gao to ask for instructions, explaining the grim situation at the border and the reliable news I had just received. Besides.

"If this is the case, everyone at the border will be grateful for the kindness of Lord Qincha." Wang Chonggu was overjoyed, got up and bowed.

Besides, he hurriedly replied, "Your Excellency, what are you doing?" I said a long time ago, we are all on an errand for the emperor, and we are all doing the same thing in our hearts, so why bother with each other? I'm doing my duty, and I don't have any kindness to speak of. ”

Fang Fengshi sighed with emotion: "It's rare to see an official like Lord Qincha who is anxious for justice and righteousness now, who doesn't hide when he sees things now?" Where is there a person like Chincha-sama who rises to the challenge? ”

These two people also understand that there is no need to get involved in these things at all, on the contrary, if he is involved, the merit belongs to the governor and the border guards, and once something happens, the responsibility is all his, after all, he initiated this arrangement.

Besides, I don't care about this at all, this is that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they have not yet reached the point where "the old and bold of the rivers and lakes become smaller".

As for the merits, he didn't think about it at all, he just thought about how things should be done better, of course, his power is to make suggestions to the emperor and Gao Gong Zhang Juzheng, and the final decision is still made by the emperor and the cabinet.

The four of them did it for half an hour, and after the matter was discussed, Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi hurriedly left, they had to continue to go everywhere to settle the people, if the residents of the city had escaped, and only the empty city was left, what kind of governor would they be.

In addition, the Jinyi guards were also placed in various parts of the city to help the local government maintain order and monitor whether there were similar cases occurring in various places.

After returning to the Qincha Office, he sat down and wrote a letter to the emperor, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gongdu, telling him his thoughts on the defense of the border passes, applying for a major change of defense for all the general officers and commanders, and the addition of 20,000 Beijing troops to garrison Xuanfu Datong.

"Is it really good for you to do this?" Qi Jiguang watched him finish writing the letter, frowned and smiled bitterly.

"This is a rainy day, why is Qi Shuai bad?" Besides, he asked rhetorically.

"You've done all the work of the household department, the military department, and the cabinet, which is an infringement in their eyes. Beware of them keeping your black accounts, and then settle accounts after the fall. Qi Jiguang said.

"Whatever, they have a lot of books on my books, and they don't care about one or two more pages."

Moreover, the relationship with the cabinet has always been very harmonious because of the relationship with Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Xu Jie, but it is very general with the six ministries such as the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, but whenever he wants to deal with these six ministries, he will ask Zhang Juzheng to do it, not to do it himself, otherwise, I don't know how much soft and hard nails I have to eat.

"It's better to be careful in everything, you're still too young, there are some things you haven't experienced, but I'm here." Qi Jiguang said with bitterness.

He has been troubled by the Ministry of War and Household for decades, and the bitterness is really indescribable, so he knows that these two departments will definitely not be offended.

Besides, he just smiled stupidly and threw his advice to the back of his mind.
