Chapter 136: Seeing Qi Jiguang for the First Time
Besides, I inadvertently saw the bright yellow canopy above my head upward, and then looked around, and suddenly had a ridiculous thought, feeling how I was nine thousand years old like the one in "Dragon Gate Inn", that is, there were a few eunuchs behind him, and there was no Lin Qingxia and Maggie Cheung to play with him.
However, the brocade guards on both sides are real, and this canopy has nothing to say, it is not mixed with any moisture, even Wei Zhongxian was at his peak, has he become a minister in the eyes of others?
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt an itchy throat and couldn't help coughing loudly.
"What weapon are you going to practice, a knife or a spear?" Zhao Yang suddenly asked.
Besides, he was stunned: "Me? What kind of weapon am I going to use, if I need a weapon, it's almost time to commit suicide and martyrdom. ”
"It's also Ha, you are a person who speaks and gives orders, and there will be no chance for you to make a move in person, but Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, likes to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, and he uses a sword. If you go there, don't let anyone compare to you. Zhao Yang said with a wink.
Besides, if he doesn't talk anymore, he won't compete with anyone in the killing area, even if it is killing the enemy.
"Don't talk about me, how far do you think these people can practice in half a year?" And let's refer to the students below.
"How to say it, these people are first-class, it's too wasteful to be a brocade guard, but if you fight with pirates or Tartars, you still owe fire, half a year is too short, and a year and a half is about the same." Zhao Yang said.
"Are pirates very strong?" And I was a little surprised.
"It's not very strong, it's all a rabble, they haven't undergone formal training, but they are all outlaws, they know what they have done, if they are captured alive, they will definitely die, so they will fight to the death, and few surrender. However, they mainly rely on momentum to fight, if the momentum overwhelms the opponent, they will rush forward, if the momentum is overwhelmed by the opponent, they will be discouraged, they will scatter the girl and run away, ordinary people really can't catch up, the official army and they are a dispersal policy, even if they are driven to the sea, even if they are successful, they can rarely be completely annihilated, and they are forced to hurry, that is, to kill a thousand enemies and injure eight hundred. ”
Besides, he was silent, his understanding of pirates was basically from paper, although Zhao Yang said that he had never fought pirates, but his family often had martial artists who had fought pirates coming and going, and what he said was at least more reliable than on paper.
"If these people fight pirates, it would be nice if half of them survived in a few years." Zhao Yang said seriously.
"What, the casualty rate will be so high?" Besides, I couldn't sit still.
"Not necessarily all of them died in battle, the southern coast has high humidity and high temperature, which is very different from the north, these people go, the water and soil are not adapted to the first level, and they will have all kinds of diseases, and some people are born not adapted to the oceanic climate, which is called natural attrition."
"If they are sick, I can treat them." Besides.
"I'm not talking about the water and soil in our mainland, but there is a miasma in that ghost place, after people are infected, it is likely that a large number of people will fall ill, and you can't cure it, unless you are a thousand-armed Guanyin."
Besides, think about it: "It's not necessarily that terrible, hasn't Qi Shuai been fighting in Fujian for many years, you can ask him for advice on these things." ”
"That's right, about pirates, Qi Shuai is the most vocal person, and now the imperial court's understanding of pirates is based on his and Tan Lun and Yu Dayou's recitals." Zhao Yang said.
Besides, he suddenly thought of another question, and said with a smile: "I heard that Yu Dayou's ability to fight is greater than Qi Shuai's, and his combat achievements are also great, but his reputation is not as good as Qi Shuai's, because there is no one in the court." ”
Zhao Yang said with a smile: "Not necessarily, anyway, both of them have their own supporters, but Qi Shuai's life is good, and Lord Zhang Juzheng appreciates him, which is true, but I think Yu must be on Qi, not necessarily." Yu Laocheng is serious, Qi has a strong spirit, and each has its own short and long. ”
Besides, looking at the students below who were strong and fierce as dragons, if they really had to die half of them in a few years, this was something he couldn't accept anyway.
Zhao Yang's words were only alarmist and could not be fully believed, so he comforted himself in his heart.
Pirates are not easy to fight, this is the truth, since the Jiajing period, the pirates have been more and more, and the Mongols outside the Saiwai have become the two major border troubles of the Ming Empire.
Besides, he suddenly remembered Zhao Kuo, the famous general who talked about soldiers on paper, he didn't despise Zhao Kuo at all, at least people know the art of war and war books, what do they know? That is, the Four Books and Five Classics, calligraphy and painting, are these used on the battlefield? He is a general who can't even talk about it on paper.
Why does the emperor have to let him lead the troops, leading the troops is a martial artist's business, he is a literati and a genius.
Besides, my heart is full of grievances, but there is nowhere to vent.
The most unbearable thing for him is the half of the mortality rate that Zhao Yang said, fighting will kill people, this is a natural phenomenon, but half of the deaths, this number is still very scary. He felt that he had an unshirkable responsibility to everyone here, and if this kind of thing really happened, I am afraid that he would be the first to have a psychological breakdown.
As a doctor, he can face up to people's illness and death, birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can fight, but he can't face up to the killing on the battlefield, and those deaths could have been avoided.
At the cost of death, the war is stopped and the war is stopped.
He has not really led his troops to fight, but today he has established his own concept of war.
Besides, when he went home, he secretly glanced at it, and found that there was a long queue at the door of the house, he didn't want to ask for trouble, so he went home like a thief through the back door, and then asked the porter to tell the people outside that the adult would not go home today, and he wanted to see the adult come back another day. The porter went out to speak, but there were still people waiting at the door.
After eating, he secretly came out of the back door, only brought a few guards, and went directly to Zhang Juzheng's mansion without taking the car.
Besides, he wanted to ask Zhang Juzheng to come forward to discuss with Qi Jiguang and come to his army to help train the troops, and it happened that Qi Jiguang was discussing matters in Zhang Juzheng's mansion.
"Come on, Yunming, meet Qi Shuai. Qi Shuai, this is what Yunming told you. Zhang Juzheng enthusiastically introduced the two.
Besides, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who is not too tall, but his head is full of admiration, this is a national hero, I used to read his story in books, and today I see a big living person.
"Xiao Ke Yunming, I've seen Qi Shuai." Besides, he bowed and saluted, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart, I don't know if Zhang Juzheng called him Qi Shuai, and whether it was appropriate for him to call him like this, but he heard others call Qi Jiguang like this.
"Haha, Brother Yunming, Lord Kuang, I've heard of the name for a long time, Lord Zhang often mentions you, you are now the most eye-catching person in the imperial court." After Qi Jiguang returned the salute, he laughed.
Zhang Juzheng is three years older than Qi Jiguang, but the way he looks at Qi Jiguang is almost the same, obviously treating Qi Jiguang as his proud protégé.
"Everyone sit and talk, Yun Ming, just now I talked about asking Qi Shuai to go to you to help train the troops, Qi Shuai has already agreed, but I don't know when it is appropriate to go to you."
"Tomorrow, Qi Shuai, the sooner the better." And blurted it out.
Qi Shuai didn't answer, with a smile on his face, he nodded.
Besides, he felt that he was too anxious, so he said embarrassedly: "Qi Shuai, I have invited the head of the Beijing army to train now, but I will have to fight against the Japanese in the future, and you will have to help train this tactical battle formation, after all, you are the hero who defeated the Japanese invaders." ”
"I can't talk about heroes, if it weren't for the protection of adults, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be a bear." Qi Jiguang laughed at himself.
"It's not shelter, we just know each other. Qi Shuai, the whole court said that I favored you and treated the veteran Yu Dayou slowly. I didn't mean to do this, but I just don't get along with Yu Shuai's temperament. Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.
"Don't dare to know each other, adults know the grace of encounters, and they will never forget it for the rest of their lives." Qi Jiguang bowed in his chair.
"Qi Shuai has said it, we are all contributing to the country and serving the emperor." Zhang Juzheng said.
Besides, at this time, there is some taste, Zhang Juzheng calls Qi Jiguang and Qi Shuai, it may not be respect, but it also has a taste of distance, but the words that call him treat him as his own family, these two are really two levels.
Protégés and nephews, there is still a big difference between the two relatives.
"Brother Yunming, then I'll arrange the affairs of Jimen in the next few days, and I'll take someone to you to have a look. However, are you sure you want to fight the Japanese in the future? Jinyiwei is in charge of the battle, which seems unprecedented. Qi Jiguang was a little puzzled.
Besides, looking at Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng just smiled and didn't say anything, and he understood, obviously Zhang Juzheng didn't explain the details to Qi Jiguang.
"It's hard to be sure now, but the meaning of the saint is that I, the sixth guard in brocade clothes, can fight both in the Sai and at sea, so naturally I have to fight against the Mongols outside the Sai and the Japanese pirates at sea." Besides, he smiled bitterly.
"But there are special people in charge of these two aspects, and there is no shortage of generals and troops in the imperial court. What is the significance of such an arrangement? Qi Jiguang looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked with a smile.
Zhang Juzheng spread his hands: "Don't ask me, the emperor has never told me about this matter." I'm also confused, but Yun Ming understands correctly, as for how the emperor uses Yun Ming, the sixth guard of the brocade clothes, no one knows now. ”
"Is Qi Shuai training in Jimen to fight in Fujian?" Besides, he asked.
"No, my main task is to deal with the Tartars outside the gates." Qi Jiguang replied clearly.
"Ask Qi Shuai, which is easier to fight, the Tartars outside the Guanhai or the Japanese Invaders along the coast?" Besides, he asked.
"It's not easy to fight, to be honest, it's not that you can't beat them, but you can't completely exterminate them. As long as we train our troops carefully, we can defeat them if we go, but in a few years they will come back. It's like a weed, one stubble is cut off and another stubble grows. Qi Jiguang frowned and said.
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "You have time to talk about these things in the future, how about we have a drink today?" ”
Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "It's rare for adults to have Yaxing, and they should accompany them." ”
