"Commander Chen, tell me about the actual situation of the guard! Let's just talk about how many soldiers there are. ”

Chen Zheng hurriedly clasped his fists at Qi Jin and said:

"Lord Qiyu, Tianjin Wei now has soldiers...... There are more than 1,200 soldiers......"

The establishment of a guard in Daming is 5,600 people, which is not too bad, and there are more than 1,200 people, which is already very good in Daming.

After Chen Zheng finished speaking, Rarity looked at Fang Zhizhou uneasily, Chen Zheng meant that he would eat the empty salary, but he didn't give less filial piety to you, wait a minute, if Qi Jin wants to punish himself, and ask Fang Zhizhou to help with a few kind words.

And Fang Zhizhou pretended to check everywhere, pretending not to see and hear at all, which made Chen Zheng can't help but curse in his heart that Fang Ping is an unrighteous villain.

However, Qi Jin did not blame Chen Zheng, and said with a smile:

"Yes, yes, Commander Chen will defend the eastern city wall! This eastern wall faces the sea, and Jiannu generally does not choose to attack from here. ”

This made Chen Zheng very surprised, Qi Jin did not punish him, and the defensive area was also the easiest section of the city wall. Tianjin's city wall is not long, the circumference is 12 miles, and each wall is three miles long, that is, 1,500 meters, and Chen Zheng's troops are enough.

And the more than 3,000 people of the Qi family's army have to defend the city wall of more than 9,000 meters, so the task of defense will be arduous.

Qi Jin didn't know that his troops were weak, and the Jiannu under the city were already building barracks, the dense barracks and two-color flags, the banner of Jiannu had already told Qi Jin, this time to attack Tianjin was two banners of Jiannu, with at least more than 40,000 troops.

Qi Jin hugged his fist at Fang Zhizhou and said:

"Fang Zhizhou, this time forty or fifty thousand Tartars came to attack Tianjin, and the total number of troops in this city is only more than four thousand, and the troops are really too weak. Therefore, the official asked Fang Zhizhou to recruit the young men of the city and the guardians to assist in defending the city.

What kind of virtue is this Jiannu, I think the fathers and villagers in this city also know, that is, when they see people, they will kill people, and if they see women, they will be defiled, and those who are not killed will be arrested and made slaves, which will resist Jiannu. It is to save their own wives and daughters, and I think the fathers and villagers in this city will understand this truth. ”

In ancient times, it was a noble and martial artist, but it also depends on who it is, Qi Jin is a hero who follows Qi Jiguang to fight half-body, and the house screen can scold Chen Zheng, the commander, like a dog, but in front of Qi Jin, he doesn't dare to pose at all.

"General Qi, Tianjin has always been a maritime trade port, since General Qi wants to recruit the family members of the nursing home and the young men of the city to participate in the defense of the city. The official immediately proceeded to handle it. ”

"In addition, this logistical problem ......"

"General Qi, don't worry, all you need is General Qi to write a collar slip, and whatever you need can be withdrawn from the official treasury."

"In that case, Qi Jin will thank Lord Zhizhou."

Tianjin is a seaport, and there are a lot of merchants, and each merchant has more than a dozen nurses, and the entire city of Tianjin. Not to mention, there are thousands of nursing homes. The martial arts of these people are not low, and it may not be possible to let these guardians go to fight in formation. But defending on the city walls, their individual martial arts will be put to good use.

Qi Jin has made it very clear that guarding Tianjin City is actually protecting their own net worth, and those gentry in Tianjin City will all support Qi Jin's decision. Because they understand. Once Jiannu entered the city, not only their family wealth would not be guaranteed, but even their lives would be put into it.

The reputation of the Tartars in the north is very bad, and the few times they enter the Kou is all bad things to do, and they do all the things that are unconscionable. The people of the northern Ming Dynasty all hated the Tartars to the point of gritting their teeth.

Those gentry of the Ming Dynasty asked them to pay taxes, and they would not agree, but this Tartar wanted to rob them of their property and concubines, and they wanted their lives, even if the dog was in a hurry, he would jump off the wall.

In just half a day, the Tartars outside the city set up the camp, Fang Zhizhou also transferred the nursing home and Qingzhuang, and all the gentry and merchants in Tianjin enthusiastically supported the Qi family's army. There are more than 1,500 nursing homes in Tianjin, and more than 10,000 are young and strong.

Qi Jin's tactical arrangement was like this, he sent 500 Qi family troops on each of the three city walls, as well as 500 guardian families, and 2,000 young men on each city wall to assist. Qi Jin also had 2,000 Qi family troops in his hands as mobile troops.

So many young people must be short of weapons, so Qi Jin asked these young people to bring the weapons in the house by themselves, and if they didn't have weapons, they would use the kitchen knife to make a red tassel gun. Qi Jin's strategy really worked, many young people had one or two weapons at home, and there were even more weapons in the hands of the gentry merchants, and the young men who assisted in the defense of the city were basically a weapon in their hands.

War relies on the people and unleashes the people, this is a verified truth, Taizu has already verified it, the wisdom of the people is endless, but the weapons in their hands are too strange, what harpoons, hoes are all used.

Don't be well-off with the power of the hoe, this is the defense of the city, the head of the Tartar comes out from under the wall, and a hoe goes down, the same as digging the soil, this hoe is not a straight weapon, but a ninety-degree crank weapon, it is not easy to parry at all, these young people in Tianjin will soon let the Tartars know the power of the hoe of the Han people.

Haoge and Wu Keshan arrived at the city of Tianjin, they immediately set up camp, although Jiannu was arrogant, but they also knew the prestige of the Qi family's army, and they didn't dare to hold it up, they were also afraid that the Qi family army would take advantage of his unstable foothold to steal the camp, the Jianzhou warriors have been marching for several days, and they must have a good rest tonight, and this camping has become inevitable.

On the first day, the Tartars who arrived under the city of Tianjin did not attack, they just camped and rested, Qi Jin was stepping up preparations, countless rolling stones and sassals were moved to the city wall, and countless door panels were erected diagonally in the middle of the city wall.

Qi Jin is a veteran of the battlefield who followed Qi Jiguang to fight in the east and west, this Tartar's cavalry is not a joke, and the young and strong who participated in the defense of the city are not armor at all, Qi Jin erected a door panel in the middle of the city wall to prevent the Tartar's bow and arrow throwing, and it is unknown how big the role of this door panel to defend the bow and arrow is.

The next day, more than 40,000 Tartars began to take up a battle in Tianjin, and the direction of attack chosen by the Tartars was indeed not on the three sides near the sea, which were all defended by Qi Jin, and the most Tartars gathered in the west, because the terrain was open.

Of course, Qi Jin also commanded on the west city wall, there were 500 Qi family troops on the west city wall, 500 people in the family guards, and 2,000 young and strong people.

There are people wearing blue cotton armor and Mongolian costumes under the west city, and Qi Jin can see at a glance that there are Jiannu and Mongols under this city, and there are about seven or eight thousand Jiannu, while there are 20,000 Mongolian Tatars.
