Chapter 495: The Qi Family's Army is 30,000
"Congratulations to the host for the opportunity to summon 30,000 Qi family troops, the Qi family army is ......" Tiger Fu's explanation was interrupted by Li You before it was over, "Needless to say, I am very familiar with this army." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "In the process of participating in the Battle of Taizhou before, Li You witnessed the process of the Qi family army from establishment to growth, and he still needed others to explain it to him, but this number made him feel a little surprised, when he was in Taizhou, the Qi family army was only 4,000 people.
Qi's army, Jiajing formed an army in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province in the 38th year, with a total strength of 4,000 people, and the main force was farmers and miners in Yiwu; Since the formation of the army, hundreds of battles of all sizes have not tasted defeat: the battle of Taizhou in the 40th year of Jiajing, through the battles of Xinhe, Huajie, Shangfengling, Tengling, Changsha, etc., thirteen battles and thirteen victories, more than 3,000 true widows were killed, and it was not counted as burning, killing and drowning; The battle of Fujian, the total strength of 6,000, through the three battles of Hengyu, Niutian, and Lindun, beheaded more than 5,000 real Japanese soldiers, of which the battle of Hengyu was a wonderful infantry and artillery coordinated operation, first sinking the Japanese warships with artillery and bombarding the Japanese camp, and then forcing the landing of the assault team to break through the Japanese main formation, and killing the Japanese leader. In the forty-second year of Jiajing, Pinghaiwei, through the four battles of Xianyou, Wangcangping, and Cai Piling, killed more than 20,000 true pirates, and the Fujian pirates were swept away, and the pirates Wu Ping who colluded with the Japanese invaders in Guangdong were eliminated, and more than 30,000 pirates under Wu Ping were defeated, and Wu Ping fled to the sea.
Under the blows of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, the Japanese no longer dared to harass the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty; After the removal of the coastal pirates, Qi Jiguang led 3,000 of his old subordinates to be transferred to Beijing in the first year of Longqing to supervise the formation of Jiliao, and the Qi family's musket team became the first musket cavalry team in China.
During Qi Jiguang's supervision of Jiliao, he organized and trained 30,000 chariots and cavalry battalions. In the second year of Longqing, Dong Fox, the chief of the Duoyan Department, led 30,000 Mongolian iron cavalry into the Kou, Qi Jiguang resisted with a car camp, and led 8,000 cavalry to raid Dong Fox's tooth tent, broke 30,000 Duoyan iron cavalry, and captured Dong Fox
nephew Changang, Dong Fox only escaped with his body, and forced Dong Fox to detain and ask for guilt; In the third year of Wanli, Chang Bald led 50,000 Wuliang Ha Iron Cavalry into the Kou, and Qi Jiguang led the musket cavalry team to outflank him, defeating 50,000 Mongolian cavalry in one breath and capturing Chang Bald alive.
From the formation of the Qi army in the 38th year of Jiajing to the departure of Qi Jiguang in the 11th year of Wanli, the Qi family army was invincible and invincible, defeating more than 150,000 enemy troops, and its own casualties were negligible, and the exchange ratio with the enemy army was as high as 1 to 50, which was one of the most powerful armies in the world in this era.
The 30,000 people were probably all the strength of the Qi family's army when they were guarding Jiliao, and with such a powerful army in hand, Li You was confident that he would challenge any opponent in the Cold Weapon Era, and he could finally let go of that little worry.
"Very good, since there are 30,000 Qi family troops to help, then what else is there to worry about, even Fu Jian who encountered the Battle of Huangshui and Ye Luxian who encountered the Battle of Gaoliang River are also handy." Li You really couldn't think of any other enemy that could worry him, so he lay down and rested with peace of mind.
When he woke up on the second day, he changed into Sai Tangyi, carefully picked up Zheng He's treasure ship atlas from the pillow, ordered someone to call Qin Shixin over, and then handed the treasure ship atlas to him, "General Qin, there is an important matter for you to do right now." ”
Although Li You trusted Zhou Bofu more among the generals who led the army to the south this time, Zhou Bofu was too strong to ride a horse, and his walking speed was too slow, so he had to hand over this matter to Qin Shixin; Qin Shixin took the wooden box containing the atlas and asked curiously, "Dare to ask the captain, what is the task?" ”
"This box contains an atlas for building a warship, you personally send it back to Jiazhou day and night, and hand it over to Mr. Gu Jiangzi, and you must not fake others." Li You said solemnly, "After handing it over to Mr. Gu, tell him to study the tricks carefully, and start to build a new warship, after the matter is completed, you can rush back, you should be able to catch up with this battle." ”
"The last general obeys the order, and the last general will lead the guards back to Jiazhou, and he will be able to hand over this atlas to Gu Shilang." Qin Shixin's Hedong Army has all replaced the armor and weapons created by Gu Jiangzi, and naturally knows Gu Jiangzi's status in Jiazhou, and he is very aware of the difficulties of Jiazhou if he wants to attack the territory of King Yue, and understands the importance of warships to the Jiazhou army.
Not long after, Qin Shixin led dozens of skilled soldiers to leave the camp and return to the north, and after Li Youmu saw their figures disappear in Shanwan, he continued to lead Zhou Bofu and 20,000 troops to Lingnan Road.
After hearing that Qin Shixin was sent to perform an important mission, Zhou Bofu was full of jealousy, but who made him too heavy to ride a horse? Therefore, he had nothing to say, so he could only urge his soldiers to speed up the march, and strive to reach Lingnan before Qin Shixin returned, and defeat those Southern Barbarians who had caused trouble.
The speed of the march of the army increased again, but the soldiers led by Li You this time were all elites that could be selected, and after experiencing the initial discomfort, they quickly adjusted their state, and gradually kept up with Zhou Bofu's pace, and arrived in Lingnan Province three days earlier than expected.
"Lingnan Dao Observation Envoy Jiang Suiyun visited Lord Taiwei." Jiang Suiyun, who was in charge of the military administration of Lingnan, led the main officials of Lingnan Province to come to the barracks to meet Li You, "Lord Taiwei marched fast, and the lower officials are really admired." ”
Li You turned out the information of Jiang Suiyun in the archives of the Black Ice Platform from his mind, this Jiang Suiyun was born in a poor family, with outstanding talents, and since he became a Jinshi, he has made a career in successive states and counties, and his reputation has reached the court, but it is a pity that he has never liked to form a party, so the family regards him as a thorn in the side, and the cold family is unwilling to help him, so even if he has a thousand achievements, he can only be gradually alienated and rushed to Lingnan Road, the most remote part of the Great Wei.
After arriving in Lingnan Road, Jiang Suiyun did not complain, he still did not change his true colors, since he took office, he cleaned up government affairs, cracked down on Haoqiang, and made a career, and this Nanban rebellion actually had nothing to do with him.
For such a talent, Li You was extremely respectful, and hurriedly got up and helped him up, "Lord Jiang, please get up, everyone, please get up." Many officials were introduced into the big tent by Li You, and after serving tea and politeness for a while, Li You asked Sun Chuyang to accompany these officials to continue socializing, and he invited Jiang Suiyun to the back.
"What do you think about this counterinsurgency?" Li You asked. (To be continued.) )
