Chapter 33: Mandarin Duck Array
Afternoon
The teahouse was bustling, and discussions were in full swing from all directions, but at this time, the tea guests were not discussing the content of the book, nor the first ink girl, nor whether so-and-so beauty was good-looking, they were all talking about one thing now.
Wakako!
The Woko are harassing again.
"Fuck the widows, I've been fighting the autumn wind for many years, I really hope that the emperor will send troops to destroy them quickly." After a big man with a bearded face finished speaking, he poured a pot of tea.
A scholar-like person answered: "How can it be so simple, now that the Mongolian tribes have also gone south, and the imperial court is sending troops to fight the Mongols, I am afraid that I can't take care of those disgusting Japanese robbers for a while." ”
When everyone heard this, they were all unwilling, but they were helpless.
Yesterday came the news that the Japanese invaders crossed the sea to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions to rob, slaughtering several villages one after another, and the people with lofty ideals in the entire Chang'an were furious, eager to join the army immediately to fight the Japanese invaders.
It's just that everyone knows that the imperial court will not necessarily control the Japanese invaders, because there are bigger enemies entrenched in the north at this time.
The current emperor has been in power for seven years, and this is the fourth war with the northern Mongols, although he has won each time, but it has also emptied the country's wealth.
If you want to start a war against both sides at the same time, I am afraid that you will not be able to take care of it.
Suddenly, a person slapped the tea table heavily, and said angrily: "Damn, can't we just take those widows, and let them slaughter my people?" ”
"This is also a helpless thing, the imperial court has been at war with the northern Mongolian tribes since the time of Emperor Taizu, and there is little stop, if there is enough money and food, it will naturally be okay with the prestige of my Dayue army, but now, alas!" Someone sighed.
The man replied: "Fuck it, Lao Tzu is going to join the army, go to war, destroy the Mongol tribes as soon as possible, and then go to clean up the Japanese invaders." ”
"I'm going too."
"Go together, go together."
The Japanese invaders appeared at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the small days were in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the two sides went to the surrounding countries to grab a wave of wealth as soon as they needed wealth, and the Great Yuan Dynasty, which was also in chaos at that time, was naturally the best object of plunder.
These robbers relied on themselves to run fast, and after many raids, they finally became addicted, and they came to rob them almost every year.
It wasn't until the reign of Dayue Taizu that there was less turmoil, but later the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Xiaori Kingdom also divided the winners and losers, and the losing side went directly and began to be full-time pirates.
Since then, the Japanese have become out of control, and they will come to Dayue to rob as soon as they have the opportunity, which is really hateful.
It's not that the court hasn't taken care of it, but it's really powerless, it's not that it can't be beaten and the Japanese are running too fast, and the court soldiers and horses have already run away before they arrive.
If you want to say that it is more or less unrealistic to send troops to the country of Xiaori, there are more people who go, the money and food of the imperial court cannot hold up, and if there are fewer people, you may not be able to win the war.
And there are also the northern Mongolian tribes to defend, don't look at the Mongolian tribes now only come to fight the autumn wind when there is no food in winter, if Dayue uses troops on a large scale, I am afraid that the Mongolian tribes will have to carry out a comprehensive attack on Dayue just after leaving.
They have only been driven to the northern grasslands for decades, and they miss Yuan Ting very much.
As a result, today's situation has been formed, and there is nothing to do about it, only by solving the north first, can we have the ability to do other things, if it is not for the north to defend, where can there be so many pirates on the sea.
As for why they didn't send local troops to defend, everyone knew in their hearts that the imperial court had never counted on them at all, and those stupid pigs who violated the law were also one of the real tumors of this country, and even their harm was far greater than that of the Japanese Invaders.
During the period of the first emperor, the Japanese invaded and ordered the local officials to form their own local armies to quell the rebellion, and as a result, the invasion of 1,000 people could blow them into tens of thousands of troops to attack, saying that they had done what kind of exploits and how hard they had done to quell the rebellion, and demanded rewards from the imperial court.
At first, the imperial court wondered where so many people came from, but after a few more checks, I learned that they hadn't fought the Japanese at all, but just went to play around and waited for the Japanese to retreat by themselves, so they didn't care, and went home to enjoy themselves.
After that investigation, the court was furious, and the first emperor issued an edict for his own crimes, and then ordered someone to get the local magistrate.
I didn't think that these people would not fight when they resisted the Japanese, but they were very brave against the imperial army, and they heard that the imperial court was going to come to take people to rebel directly, and then the imperial court sent troops to quickly quell the rebellion.
The Japanese can run to the sea to hide, is it possible that you magistrates can also run to the sea, and the blood of that counterinsurgency killing is like a river, and the heads of people can be piled up into a small mountain.
Since then, the imperial court has lost little trust in the magistrates in the coastal areas, and even if a group of magistrates are replaced, the image has been set in the hearts of the imperial court and the people.
The imperial court no longer requires the local officials to pacify the troubles, but only requires them to protect the people from being affected as much as possible.
Jia Rong, who heard everyone's conversation upstairs in the teahouse, was also angry in her heart, the widows killed these days are not a good thing, and they are not a good thing from ancient times to the present.
The inferior root exists in my bones, disturbing my borders, plundering my money, and slaughtering my people, deserving of it!
Jia Rong was also thinking about how to deal with the Japanese Invaders, and after thinking for a long time, it seemed that there was no good way to deal with the Wolves quickly.
However, Jia Rong thought of a defensive method, as long as he sent Qin to monitor the local officials and then use this trick, if he dared to attack, he would definitely be defeated, and this method was the Mandarin Duck Formation.
The most famous anti-Japanese general in history is Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang and Marshal Qi spent research on the Mandarin Duck Array in order to fight against the Japanese and pirates, which can only play the greatest role in the coastal areas according to local conditions, and exclusively govern the Japanese and pirates.
Marshal Qi Jiguang took advantage of this mandarin duck array to achieve nine victories in nine battles and nine victories in the first year, and almost all of them won more with less.
Marshal Qi Jiguang and his Qi family army gave the Japanese a head-on blow. Let the invincible Japanese invaders be in a situation of complete defeat in front of the Qi family's army. So much so that as long as they saw this strange formation, they were terrified, turned around and ran.
Now he only needs to hand over the mandarin duck array to the imperial court, and then the imperial court will send someone to teach the coastal magistrates, so that the magistrates can copy their homework well.
Not only is there no danger but also merit can be achieved, and such a good thing must be done by these magistrates with pleasure, so the plague of the Japanese will die out over time.
Just do what she said, Jia Rong hurriedly walked out of the teahouse, ready to go to Yu Qian's residence to offer advice.
