Chapter 39 A New Book of Performance

Seeing that the two were really familiar with each other, Bo Yan said with a smile: "General Qi came from the Juyongguan military camp in the Northern Theater in order to carry out fraternal exchanges between the Northwest Army and the Northern Army. General Qi is the favorite general under General Yuan Chonghuan, but I didn't know that you two had known each other for a long time. ”

Qi Jiguang is actually a partial general, and he is not a genuine general according to the regular establishment, but everyone who is an official understands the reason of the sedan chair, and when he saw Boyan promoting him and calling him a general, he naturally had to be humble. He told Boyan the truth about his acquaintance with Wang Yangming, and Boyan suddenly realized: "One day, the Northwest Army saw the news of the northern beacon fire, and at first thought it was the invasion of the Xiongnu in the north, but later after the military aircraft battalion deciphered the code, it was learned that it was the president of Guozijian who returned to Beijing with a teenager. It turns out that the boy is you!"

Wang Yangming nodded, remembering the various situations of returning to the south at that time, it seemed that he still remembered it as vividly as yesterday, but after nearly a year, he was completely accustomed to being a person in this world. Things are people, and I can't help but sigh in my heart, but the thoughts are incomprehensible to others.

Boyan knew that Qi Jiguang was deeply valued by Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan was an official in the same dynasty as him, one was a general who guarded the north to guard against the Huns, and the other was a famous general who shocked the Hu people in the northwest. In the face of Yuan Chonghuan, he couldn't snub Qi Jiguang, and said at the moment: "Today's old people meet, General Qi is a distinguished guest of my Northwest Army, I see that a banquet will be held in the army in the evening, I will be the east, please General Qi must appreciate the light." Captain Wang also came. ”

Qi Jiguang and Wang Yangming hurriedly responded, and Boyan asked someone to arrange wine and food. The three of them sat down and gossiped for a while, it was late, so they went to the banquet together, and Boyan asked several bigwigs in the army to accompany him, but he didn't dare to call Qin Chonghai over. Boyan and Qin Chonghai are sworn brothers, and they know his fiery temper very well, for fear that this old boy will spit out some disrespectful words on the wine table and offend Qi Jiguang is child, if Qi Jiguang tells Yuan Chonghuan these words back, it will be bad.

During the banquet, there were staggered plans, and Boyan said little, but every sentence was on the point. Qi Jiguang is an eight-sided and exquisite character, although he faces five or six people in the Northwest Army alone, he talks eloquently and praises everyone, but his compliments are extremely useful to others. This has to be said to be his special talent.

Eating eagerly, Qi Jiguang remembered that he had brought some gifts, and immediately took out a box from the cherished place in his arms, and said: "General Boyan, the last general came from the bitter cold land in the north, and he didn't bring anything precious. ”

Boyan listened to what he said politely, and thought that it should not be a valuable thing, so he lightly thanked him and accepted it.

He opened the box and saw a swarthy piece of stuff inside, with a head and a tail, and a smooth and hairless body, as if it were a specimen made of some animal. Boyan didn't know about it, and said, "Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I don't know what this thing is?"

Qi Jiguang hurriedly explained: "This thing is a grassland specialty, and the locals call it a fur seal. In fact, it is not from the sea, but from Lake Baikal, a famous lake in the north. It's just that the locals call the big lake the sea and call Lake Baikal the holy sea, so this thing is also called the fur seal. ”

Boyan had also heard of the name of the fur seal, and he only saw the real thing today, but he frowned and said: "I heard that the fur seal can be used in medicine, which is quite aphrodisiac." Why did General Qi send me this, my Boyan is not a person who indulges in lust. ”

Qi Jiguang hurriedly said: "The general wants to be wrong." The fur seal does have an aphrodisiac effect, but it also has another effect, that is, to strengthen the body, the body of the tiger and bear, it doesn't matter if you have it or not, but if you take a little bit every day, it will be of great benefit to the body in the long run. The last general did not dare to be greedy, this was actually sent by Yuan Chonghuan to the young general. Don't hide it from the general, I am the first assistant Zhang Juzheng Mr. Zhang, who is over eighty years old and has a tough body, relying on the fur dogs that Yuan Dashuai sends him every year. ”

Seeing that he was sincere, it was difficult to refuse, so Boyan accepted the sea seal. In fact, he had long heard that although Yuan Chonghuan was an important minister of the imperial court, he actually did not talk about it, let alone bent on his will, and was a famous wooden head in the court, only by virtue of his upright loyalty and countless military exploits, he was able to achieve the position of commander of the Northern Army. Needless to say, this sea dog must have been prepared by Qi Jiguang himself, and given to himself in the name of his boss.

Several people talked and laughed, and when they talked about the soldier's own duty - marching and fighting, Boyan said with a smile: "I, Captain Wang, have not been in my Northwest Army for a few days, but I have really made a major contribution to us. ”

Qi Jiguang hurriedly asked why, Bo Yan ordered his soldiers to take a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War copied from Wang Yangming, and said: "Captain Wang collected an art of war, called Sun Tzu's Art of War, which is really a wonderful art of war that I have never heard of or seen. ”

Qi Jiguang read under the lamp, read a few articles, and said with great joy: "Captain Wang is really a blessed general, the handsome Hongfu Qitian, this Sun Tzu's art of war is really wonderful." ”

Wang Yangming hurriedly said that he didn't dare to take credit, Qi Jiguang begged: "Please forgive the last general, I want to take a copy of this art of war back to the Northern Army, with this art of war, my Northern Army will definitely be able to beat him a few more big victories." ”

Boyan is a bright and upright person, and immediately agreed to give Qi Jiguang a copy of the manuscript Sun Tzu's Art of War to take away. Qi Jiguang said: "The last general has served in the army for ten years, and he has experienced some large and small battles. ”

Boyan smiled and said: "General Qi doesn't have to be too humble, the art of war you come up with must be good." Why don't you just say it and ask everyone to taste it?"

Qi Jiguang said: "The last general named this simple military book he wrote called "New Book of Performance". ”

He briefly talked about the content of the book, "The New Book of Performance" has a total of 18 articles, namely the first chapter of the binding army, the second chapter of the drill order, the third chapter of the formation order, the fourth chapter of the soldiers, the fifth chapter of the law prohibition, the sixth chapter of comparison, the seventh chapter of the camp, the eighth chapter of the drill chapter, the ninth chapter of the expedition, the tenth chapter of the long soldier, the eleventh chapter of the card wrestle, the twelfth chapter of the short soldier, the thirteenth chapter of the archery chapter, the fourteenth chapter of the fist scripture, the fifteenth chapter of the weapons chapter, the sixteenth chapter of the banner chapter, the seventeenth chapter of the sentry chapter, and the eighteenth chapter of the sailor.

Although Qi Jiguang is only a partial general, he is really a genius in marching and fighting, and these eighteen military books are indeed inferior in connotation and depth compared to Sun Tzu's Art of War, but they are still superior in practicality.

Boyan and other generals are all knowledgeable, and after listening to him talk about the book, they are all overjoyed: "The general is really a great talent, if we had known this kind of art of war, wouldn't it be like a tiger to fight on the march!"

Boyan asked Qi Jiguang to copy a copy of the new book of performance and leave it for the reference of the **** senior generals of the Northwest Army, Qi Jiguang saw that his art of war was highly appreciated in the Northwest Army, and he was very happy.

Everyone has gained something, but Wang Yangming heard Qi Jiguang mention several formations when talking about his art of war, and his heart moved, so he asked Qi Jiguang: "Brother Qi, I won't tell you, I recently formed an Eagle Yang Army on the orders of Marshal Boyan, I think if the formation you just mentioned can be applied to my Eagle Yang Army, it will definitely receive unexpected results." ”

When Qi Jiguang heard him, he said curiously: "Eagle Yang Army, what kind of army is that?"

(Note: In addition to being a national hero, the real Qi Jiguang in history is indeed a well-behaved figure who is very good at flattering his superiors.) So readers, don't be stunned by the image of Qi Jiguang in this book, I wrote it according to his true image...... If it weren't for the exquisiteness of all sides, Qi Jiguang would not have been able to find the support of all parties to form the Qi family army to repel the Japanese invaders. You can see Yu Dayou's fate just by looking at it. Qi Jiguang's flattery may just be a last resort. Anyway, I like him a lot. )
