For the later battles, Shen Mo recorded as follows: 'The two Shen Rong pursued together, and then encountered an ambush, and the Lu tribe was defeated. ’

In fact, he was merciful in his writing, because at that time, he only met Ye Mazi's receiving troops, and there were no 200 people in total - as long as he covered up the past, he could obviously serve it in one pot, but the dignified Ming army actually fled and stopped, and did not dare to chase anymore.

It was so incredible that he stopped a soldier who turned around and walked back, and asked him why he didn't chase him. The soldier was a real man, and said with a big grin: "It's been like this for many years, anyway, they will still come back, just run away, don't chase desperately." ”

He Xinyin, who was on the side, blew up his lungs and glared angrily: "Huh...... If they are all like you, when will I be able to exterminate the Japanese Invaders? ”

The soldier looked at He Xinyin like a monkey, shook his head and said: "This widow has been there since the Taizu period, just like leeks, how can it be purified if you cut a stubble and grow a stubble?" ”

Shen was silent, he couldn't come back to his senses after riding on the horse for a long time, until he saw Qi Jiguang with a lost face coming back from a distance, and the two young people glanced at each other, and they both saw deep disappointment in each other's eyes.

"What should I do?" After a long time, Qi Jiguang asked confusedly.

"Start from scratch and practice on your own!" "In the past few months, I have traveled all over Zhejiang, and I have seen many singing and crying battles. Since there are so many hot-blooded men, there is no reason why I can't form an iron-blooded hero! ”

The silence made Qi Jiguang's eyes light up, and he swept away the gloom in his heart, and struck with both palms: "That's right! Since these people are hopeless, abandon them, build a new army, and start from scratch! After speaking, he arched his hand towards Shen Mo and said, "My lord, please give Jiguang some guidance!" ”

Shen Mo also smiled and said, "Let's go back and calm down and take a closer look together." ”

"Great goodness!" Qi Jiguang nodded excitedly, stretched out his hand and said, "My lord, please." ”

"General Qi, please!" Shen Mo laughed.

The two rode together in the direction of Longshanwei, and they didn't even care about their troops.

After returning to Longshanwei, two young people who were also full of enthusiasm, ambition, and had a deep understanding of the military situation, and the same profound background, lived in a secluded courtyard in the back mountain.

They first discussed a research method -- starting with the current situation of the army, listing the existing problems one by one, then exploring ways to solve them, and finally studying its feasible surnames. It's so methodical that it doesn't go too far off topic and helps save brains.

So the two young talents began to carry out a long-lasting discussion in the deep winter of November, in the deep mountains of Longshanwei.

They sat on the kang, one first criticized the current situation of the army, and the other held a pen to record; Then, when the critic runs out of words, the two switch roles, and the other person starts to criticize, and the cycle repeats itself.

None of them expected that what they thought was the easiest part of finding fault would take a whole day. Looking at the accusations plastered all over the wall, Qi Jiguang asked with a somewhat dull look, "Is there anything else?" ”

"There must be more, but I can't remember anything." Silently rubbed his temples with his hands and said:

"I think it's better to forget it, if you can solve all these problems, you can take this army to unify the world."

"Where is the world?" Qi Jiguang asked strangely.

"When I'm talking nonsense," said silently, patting his forehead.

The two of them discussed and studied in no white or black, they didn't know what day it was, it was normal to say a few words of nonsense, Qi Jiguang let him go, looked at the wall and said in a deep voice: "If you can solve one of them, then the battle will definitely be won; If you can solve two percent, you can fight head-on with the Japanese Koukou; If you can solve the problem of 30%, you can drive the Japanese into the sea and pacify the rebellion in the southeast; If it can solve the problem of forty percent, the north will not be a problem, and the border of my Ming Dynasty will be settled; If you can solve half of it," he said, taking a deep breath and saying, "Who is the opponent in the world?" Taizu is back in power! ”

"Can it solve sixty percent?" asked with a silent smile.

"Hehe," Qi Jiguang shook his head and smiled: "Some problems can't be solved." ”

"Let's do our best." Shen Mo bowed his head and said: "Just like you said, if you solve one more point, the odds of winning will be doubled." ”

"Hmm!" Qi Jiguang nodded solemnly and said: "Whatever can be solved must be solved!" ”

After a night's sleep, the two young people, refreshed, began to study the solution again. For example, if this kind of army is not trained, then strengthen the training; If you don't listen to the moderation of the officials, then the military law will be strict; If we do not have combat capability, then we should train in a difficult and strict manner and proceed from actual combat. Generals and soldiers do not get along? Then order the officers to lead by example and not to oppress the soldiers. Soldiers are redundant? Then the recruitment conditions should be strictly enforced, and factors such as age and region should be taken into account.

As for disobedience to orders and orders in wartime, soldiers do not cooperate with each other at all, and there is almost no armor on their bodies, no decent weapons in their hands, not to mention the martial arts of killing the enemy. And the march did not bring dry rations, the garrison did not build a camp wall, etc., and the two of them also hollowed out their minds and came up with as many ways as possible, just seeking to solve the problem, regardless of whether it was actual or not.

Facts have proved that it is much more difficult to find a way than to find faults, and the two of them forgot to sleep and eat, and they talked night after night, exhausted their wisdom and painstaking efforts, and they didn't know how long it took to list the last solution.

At this time, looking at each other again, Shen Mo saw a wild man with a beard on his face, and Qi Jiguang saw a down-and-out scholar with messy hair, he couldn't help but look at each other and laugh loudly, but his heart was extremely happy, as if the problem of the Ming army was about to be solved in their hands...... So much so that many years later, both of them were gray-haired old men, and they also promised this incident as 'the first of the fast things of the year', which can clearly describe every scene at that time.

Both of them are a mixture of idealists and realists, and of course they know that it is impossible to solve them completely, and there are many ways in which they are unrealistic...... At least not at the moment, it cannot be done and must be deleted. But before we move on to the final step, let's take a break.

Shen Mo took a bath, asked Shen An to clean up his appearance, and then asked about the situation outside, and the bored little scholar told him that there were ten days left before he entered the wax moon.

"It's been eight days." Looking at himself in the mirror who had regained his refreshment, he said silently and softly, "Is there anything important?" ”

"It's not a big deal." Shen An smiled: "Except for the letter from the governor who gave you the day before yesterday, and then the woman woke up." ”

"What woman?" Shen Mo asked strangely.

"It's the one he saved when he was in the temple that time." Shen An's eyes widened and said, "This time I'm really awake, I'm not crazy, I'm just locked in the house and don't come out all day." ”

Shen Mo smiled indifferently: "You guy, the head of the wife and the man, just like to spread gossip." As he spoke, he got up to soothe his muscles and bones, and asked softly, "Why don't you leave when you wake up?" ”

Shen An pouted and said, "He Daxia protects her, no one dares to ask, she doesn't know anything." ”

Shen Mo stopped asking, and asked Shen An to go out to play, saying that he was going to be crooked for a while.

After Shen An left, he took out the handwritten letter from Zhang Jing to him, which mainly had three contents, one was an enthusiastic praise, praising him for not being afraid of danger and hardship, and coming to the front line of the anti-Japanese war in person. Although it is nonsense, but two-thirds of the length. the second is a sincere invitation, inviting him to go to Hangzhou to eat Laba porridge on the eighth day of the lunar month; The third is a small request, asking him to postpone the submission of the report to the emperor, at least after eating Laba porridge.

He had read this letter eight times, of course, not because he was flattered by the governor's letter, but even the emperor's decree he had only read it three times and threw it aside.

The reason why I read it repeatedly is because this letter is too unusual-the words are too affectionate, and the request is too straightforward--he has seen this Governor Zhang in Hangzhou Youwei, who is quite a powerful official, although he is okay with himself, but the condescending momentum makes Shen Mo feel unmistakably that he Zhang Jing is the big man in the southeast, and the only one.

Such a big man wrote such a letter, which can only show one problem, he was squeezed out of the way - Shen Mo knew very well that he was insignificant in the emperor's heart, and this governor actually asked for his head, what was it if he didn't 'rush to the doctor'?

Thinking about it, my brain was a little wooden, so I had to put the letter aside and smack my lips: "Forget it, I don't want to, I will naturally understand when I go to Hangzhou." Then he fell asleep.

After a long night's sleep and regaining their energy, Shen Qi and the others sat back in the room full of manuscript paper and began the most painful step - to extract those unrealistic ideas that could not be realized in the short term.

You must know that every idea is the result of the painstaking efforts of the two people, and often those that seem unrealistic and contradict reality are the embodiment of true wisdom, and even the bitter medicine to heal this empire.

Every time he deleted an article, Qi Jiguang's brows trembled, and he asked him over and over again: "Can you not delete it?" ”

Shen Mo shook his head, but said to him again: "This is not a deletion, but it is just put on hold for the time being, and when the time is ripe in the future, we will turn it into reality one by one." ”

"Will there ever be a day?" Qi Jiguang asked with yearning in his eyes.

"Yes, definitely." Shen Mo gave him a confident smile and said, "We are still young, and we can achieve it in a lifetime." ”
