Zhu Youxiao told them that if they did not blindfold their horses and raise them into a gun formation with a flintlock bayonet, leaving a gap between the gun formations, the war horses would not crash into the gun formation, but would run through the gaps, which was what he saw when he watched a documentary in his previous life. Yang Guangkui didn't believe them, so they conducted an experiment, and as a result, the cavalry forced the war horse to crash into the gun array, and the war horse automatically avoided it. Different from the six-row dense formation stipulated for the enemy infantry in the drill code, each division should form a phalanx of 12 rows and nine columns in the enemy's cavalry, and 10 men should be responsible for the task of mending the sword. Leave enough space between the phalanxes for horses to pass through.

Anyway, there are all kinds of troops in their own homes, and it is very easy for everyone to practice with infantry and artillery or infantry and cavalry, but at the beginning of the injury, a few were injured, fortunately, there was no danger to life, and later after the requirements of training were added to the drill code, there were few injuries, even if they occasionally appeared, they were only minor injuries.

If you put it out, everyone still looks the same, but Lu Qin, Zhou Yuji and others all believe that training is different from facing the enemy, and they remember everything in peacetime, but forget everything because they are nervous when facing the enemy, so they proposed to train in battle. But where to fight, do you want to go to Liaodong? Could it be to deliver vegetables to wild boar skins?

But recently, it seems that Li Zicheng has not come to revolt or anything, no, to rebel. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is different from the Song Dynasty, there are no large groups of bandits like Liang Shanbo in the mountains, this is a troublesome matter, and there is no object for military training. If Chongzhen knew that he was worried about this kind of thing, he was afraid that he would be angry to death.

Lu Qin said: "General Qin Liangyu happened to be ordered to lead the white pole troops to aid Liao, so it is better to invite her to take a look at the situation in our Beijing camp and put forward some opinions." ”

I saw this name last time on the fold, and Lu Qin was still a little impressed when he said it, so he asked, "Who is this General Qin Liangyu, tell me in detail." ”

Lu Qin said: "Your Majesty, General Qin Liangyu was originally the wife of Shi Yan's consolation envoy Ma Qiancheng, who was brave and wise, good at riding and shooting, and also good at writing articles, with a demure and elegant posture, marching and managing the army, and strict orders. ”

"In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, Yang Yinglong made a rebellion in Banzhou, and the two led troops to follow Li Hualong to conquer, and in the twenty-eighth year, they broke through the enemy's eight villages, killed Yang Yinglong, and made the first battle merit for Nanchuan Road."

In the forty-first year of Wanli, Ma Qiancheng was falsely accused by the eunuch Qiu Chengyun and died of illness in Yunyang's prison. Qin Liangyu then took Ma Qiancheng's position. Last year, the imperial court ordered Qin Liangyu to send troops to help. Qin Liangyu sent his elder brother Qin Bangping and younger brother Qin Minping to lead 4,000 people to go first. The one who died in the Battle of Hunhe this year was General Qin's brother. ”

"The soldiers led by General Qin are called the White Pole Soldiers, the White Pole Soldiers are highly disciplined, brave and extraordinary, especially good at mountain battles, and it is the White Pole Soldiers who killed thousands of Jiannu in the Battle of the Hunhe River. If General Qin is asked to take a look at our Beijing camp and point out our shortcomings, it should be of great use. ”

"Oh, I see, female general, amazing!" When Lu Qin said this, Zhu Youxiao remembered that he had heard of this female general in his previous life, and it turned out that he was also in this era, so he had to take a good look at what it was like.

"Where is General Qin now?"

"General Qin asked Qin Bangping and the others to go first, and he prepared heavy grain and grass in the back, and now he is just going to the vicinity of Tongzhou, and he will go to Shanhaiguan, Your Majesty can let her come to the court, just let her see our Beijing camp."

Lu Qin's admiring tone made Zhu Youxiao have a deep interest in Qin Liangyu, and he also remembered more things, in his previous life, he saw in a book that this female general seemed to be the only woman in history who was the name of the dynasty and passed on independently, and she was recorded in the history books in the biography of the generals, not in the "Biography of the Martyr" like other women, of course such a heroine should be seen. So he immediately issued an order and summoned Qin Liangyu to see him.

When he returned to the palace in the evening to chat with the queen, he talked about it, Zhang Yan said: "Your Majesty, the concubine also wants to meet this female general, I think Concubine Duan should also want to meet her, I have heard her say it several times." ”

Duan Ying was born in Jiangmen, and he also has martial arts, so it is normal to admire Qin Liangyu, so Zhu Youxiao promised that after he saw Qin Liangyu, he would tell her.

The next morning, Zhu Youxiao met Qin Liangyu, Qin Liangyu was in his forties, but he looked like he was only in his early thirties, he was very tall, and his appearance could be called beautiful.

After seeing the ceremony, Wang Tiqian came out with the holy decree, and Qin Liangyu knelt down to listen to the decree: Feng Shiyan comforted Qin Liangyu as the lady of the three-grade decree and gave the three-grade official uniform. His husband Ma Qiancheng was given the title of governor, and his son Ma Xianglin was the commander. Qin Bangping was loyal to the country, and he was given the title of governor of the capital, and his descendants were hereditary. and gave the white pole soldiers thirty thousand taels of silver, and five thousand horses of cloth.

Qin Liangyu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him, and tears flowed out as soon as he opened his mouth. Her husband died in prison because of the eunuch's false accusations, and her brother was killed in the Battle of the Hunhe River, although she did not resent the court, but after all, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Now that the emperor has rewarded her like this, she finally feels that the court has not forgotten her merits, the merits of her brothers, and what they have done is no longer meaningless.

After Zhu Youxiao gave him a seat, he hesitated for a while and said, "I will not forget the contributions made by General Qin and his relatives to the Ming Dynasty. Now how difficult the state affairs are, and to make General Qin travel thousands of miles, it is really ashamed of me! ”

Qin Liangyu immediately knelt on the ground and said: "The saint is as kind to the minister and his brother as a mountain, although the minister is a woman, he also knows how to repay the kindness, please retract this statement, the minister's brother is not effective in suppressing the bandits, which makes the saint uneasy, and the real shame is the guilty minister." ”

Zhu Youxiao hurriedly stood up from the dragon chair and walked down to personally help Qin Liangyu: "General Qin is full of loyalty and bravery, and I know it well. I summoned General Qin today, one is to reward General Qin Bangping and others, the second is to ask General Qin to point out the shortcomings of our army for me, and by the way, to point out my guards, and the third is that the queen and the concubine have heard of General Qin's prestige for a long time and want to get closer to General Qin. Our Ming army was defeated in the Battle of Liaoshen, and the only thing that moved me was that General Qin Bangping and others fought to the death to kill the enemy, beheading more than 2,000 Jiannu. The Ming army has a lot of shortcomings, and I want to ask General Qin to solve my doubts, how to get rid of the shortcomings, so that the Ming army is as brave as the white pole soldiers of General Qin? ”
