Start with detective Li Yuanfang

"Drink—ha—!"

In the big camp, there was the sound of orderly drills.

These soldiers with a completely new mental outlook, a few years ago, I am afraid they would not have recognized themselves.

Because the Zhejiang soldiers at that time were notoriously poor.

The guard soldiers had no training and no orders in battle, so their combat effectiveness was extremely low; the Lishui soldiers came from the mountainous area, they were strong and dared to charge forward, but they were brave and foolish, and did not obey orders; The weak will be strong, and the strong will have nothing; Shaoxing soldiers are too shrewd and calculating, they only kill each other, and they often kill each other...

To be precise, the soldiers in the north, south, and north of the Ming Dynasty were in the following situations in the deformed system and the atmosphere of corruption from top to bottom.

But now, Zhejiang mutiny has changed.

There have been radical changes.

This is inseparable from the training of the two generals.

"Hands must be steady, strength must be strong!"

"Always remember, stop with stillness, don't stab out recklessly, if you stab out, you won't hit the thief, if the thief turns back to you, life and death will be divided!"

"Alright!"

The instructor is holding a long stick, tall, burly and majestic. It is Yu Dayou who was promoted to the chief soldier of Zhejiang by his military exploits.

He not only taught the soldiers the skills of exerting force, but also wrote the book "Sword of Sword", which is called "Sword", which actually talks about the usage of sticks, spears and long weapons, and expounds vividly the tricks of the transformation of strange and positive, " Just before his strength, after taking advantage of his strength, he is busy and I wait quietly, let the king fight if he knows how to fight."

Yu Dayou trained in combat skills, while on the other side he practiced marching formations.

I saw a group of soldiers marching together, each group of 11 people, the captain is in the middle, and the wolf soldiers, pike soldiers, spear soldiers, simple sword soldiers, and bird gun soldiers are lined up on both sides, holding different weapons, forming five lines. Covering the front, both offensive and defensive.

Watching the command flag waving was a young general, calm and resolute, with a bit of elegance, but also brave.

This person is Qi Jiguang who is not yet 30 years old this year.

Qi Jiguang's father was a commander in the capital, which made him able to learn literature and martial arts since he was a child. When he was 17 years old, his father died and he took over as the commander of Dengzhou Guard in Shandong. Later, he led the children of six counties in Shandong to guard Jimen .

And just before Altan Khan broke through the Great Wall and came to Beijing to show off his power, Qi Jiguang, who was in his 20s, wrote a letter to the imperial court "Preparing My Tactics".

However, in history, Hu Zongxian would value Qi Jiguang. One said that he reused Qi Jiguang because he read "Bei I Da Strategies" and felt that his civil and military strategies were top-notch and his future was limitless.

While Yu Dayou was busy, he also paid attention to the changes in the battle formation on Qi Jiguang's side and showed his approval.

In fact, the mandarin duck formation was not created by Qi Jiguang, but another great talent, Tang Shunzhi. The author is Qi Jiguang.

After a while of drills, the soldiers rested, and the two got together.

In terms of age, Yu Dayou is nearly half a hundred years old, and Qi Jiguang is in the prime of his life, a generation behind, and he usually performs the ceremony of the younger generation.

Yu Dayou is a bold person, and he is somewhat dissatisfied with this respectful attitude in private: "Yuan Jing, if you are serious about running the army, you must be punished if you believe in rewards. I am not as good as you, so why are you so unfamiliar?"

Qi Jiguang respected it sincerely: "Mr. Zong puts great emphasis on restraint in governing the army, foresight and foresight, and he will reap all the merits. In the end, he will be far behind..."

Yu Dayou was helpless, but he also emphasized: "The way to teach soldiers is to put temperance first, followed by skills, and guide them with loyalty and filial piety, so that they can know righteousness personally and fight bravely..."

Qi Jiguang listened carefully, waited for this person to finish speaking, and then asked for advice based on his own understanding.

Just as the pair of dragons and tigers were promoting each other, the personal guards rode their horses into the arena, and stepped forward to report: "Hu Zhongcheng invites Mr. Yu and General Qi to discuss matters!"

The two looked straight and set off immediately.

They are all families of military career, Yu Shizhi has a hundred households, and Qi Shizhi has a thousand households. They have received a good education since they were young and are familiar with the rules of officialdom. However, Yu Dayou has a straightforward personality and disdains flattery, so he is often impeached and dismissed from office. Once, Qi Jiguang was relatively smooth and flexible.

However, if it was not forced by the official environment, no one would be willing to bow their knees. Now that the two generals have Hu Zongxian's appreciation, their talents have been developed, and they are also convinced of the superior who dares to come to the front line and has a better strategy.

When we got to the hall, more than a dozen people had already gathered here.

Lu Ting, the famous general who was the first to make meritorious service against the Japanese, was implicated and imprisoned, and then recovered again;

Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, was originally a doctor of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. He was famous for his knowledge of soldiers.
There are also Xu Wei, a talented staff member who is well-known in the southeast, and Ma Ningyuan, a loyal and upright student, all of whom are outstanding cronies.

However, the inspector of the seventh rank in the past, now the governor of Zhejiang above the third department and the veritable governor of a province, Hu Zongxian was dressed in casual clothes and did not put on an air of condescension, but his demeanor of not being angry and self-prestige has been cultivated. become.

At this time, after Yu and Qi arrived, Hu Zongxian officially announced the news: "There is a report in the capital, Yan Song and his henchmen were convicted, Yan Shifan became more daring, and escaped from prison. Now this beast is wanted everywhere, and must be arrested!"

For Hu Zongxian, the collapse of the strict party in history was basically a collapse of the sky, but now it is the exact opposite, with joy in his tone.

Everyone present was even more overjoyed. Some time ago, due to the restart of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, the Yan Party removed Zhang Jing and Li Tianchong, and regarded Hu Zongxian as a thorn in his side.

They were really worried that the intrigue in the court would destroy the hard-won anti-Japanese situation. They never expected that Hu Zongxian was safe and sound, but Yan Ge, who was in full swing, fell down.

After Hu Zongxian was happy, he didn't forget the business: "The strict party will no longer touch Zhejiang. The Jiangnan Weaving Bureau will be the key. When the sea trade route is settled, it will be the time when the Japanese pirates are completely put down. I hope you will work together to return my southeast." The people are in a peaceful and pure land!"

Everyone took orders one after another: "Yes!"

The root of the Japanese pirates is the maritime ban policy of the Ming Dynasty. The large coastal merchants could not trade in an aboveboard manner, so they smuggled wildly, and then colluded with the Japanese people, forming the Japanese pirate rebellion that has been a disaster intermittently for nearly 200 years.

The disappearance of Japanese pirates in history is due to the credit of Qi’s army’s extermination on the one hand. Japanese pirates are also human beings. They were repeatedly defeated by Qi’s army with almost zero battle losses, and anyone would have to collapse;
On the other hand, at the end of the Jiajing period, the sea ban policy existed in name only, and it was left to its own devices. In the Longqing Dynasty, it was simply switched on and off. The government recognized private overseas trade and gained a legal status. Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants could make a lot of money, of course not. Then support the Japanese pirates behind their backs, and in turn have trouble with themselves.

The front was slaughtered, and the rear was helpless, and the trouble of the Japanese pirates was completely subsided.

Hu Zongxian's thinking is also the same, tightening before and then loosening, giving both grace and power.

The only difference is that in history, it was really out of control, so he simply switched it on and off, and he planned to use the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to lead Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants into the correct trade track, so that the coastal people would no longer have to worry about it and live a good life.

As a result, generals such as Lu Tong, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang received the task of attacking Japanese pirates with heavy blows;
Tan Lun, Xu Wei, and Ma Ningyuan focused on the construction of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, and dealt with the greedy eunuchs in the palace when necessary.

After a brief but critical meeting, Hu Zongxian returned to his office, still in high spirits.

He is more than 40 years old, which is the period when he is the shrewdest and most capable. Zhejiang's upper and lower affairs are handled in an orderly manner, and he must also focus on the overall situation of the entire southeast.

This attitude made Li Yan outside the house very pleased. After knocking on the door, he drifted in.

Looking at the out-of-this-world figure in front of him, Hu Zongxian was stunned first, then overjoyed: "Sir!"

Li Yan said: "Ru Zhen."

In fact, the two did not meet many times, but they had a sense of tacit understanding. After a little reminiscence, Li Yan informed the affairs of the capital, including his recommendation to Jiajing, and Xu Fan's own cleverness, which made his father not only hopeless for the position of chief assistant , Even Ge Lao couldn't stand it anymore and left sadly.

Hearing the selection of the chief assistant, Hu Zongxian was stunned again.

An official who has no backer and has been stuck for more than ten years is already satisfied to be able to flex his muscles in the southeast. He really has never thought about the glory of that extremely human minister.

But even under such astonishment, Hu Zongxian did not lose his composure, nor did he show any sincerity or fear, but just bowed his hands and bowed deeply: "For the affairs of the common people and the community, I wish to be loyal and loyal. , disrupt the overall situation, I... I choose not to fight!"

Li Yan showed his approval, smiled and said: "You haven't changed, and your concerns are correct. It is the decline of the Ming Dynasty's national fortune that requires a chief assistant who can turn the tide. If the national power is tossed even further for this position, it is putting the cart before the horse. gone."

Hu Zongxian heaved a sigh of relief, but he understood that this person probably had plans long ago, so he asked for advice: "Then according to Mr. Wang, how should the Wa country deal with it?"

Li Yandao: "I am a celestial master, and I will go first with the divine way, and Wang Zhi's pirates will follow. After the enemy's situation is clear, the Ming army will decide according to the situation."

The navy is the test of a country's comprehensive strength. Now the Ming Dynasty's treasury is empty, officials are owed salaries, natural and man-made disasters, it is okay to wipe out Japanese pirates in the coastal areas, but under normal circumstances, it is really not qualified to travel across the ocean and carry out the war of destroying the country.

Therefore, Li Yan's plan is to investigate first with Shinto to see what kind of existence the Wa country and even the land of the gods in Gaotianyuan are, and then use Wang Zhi's pirate troops to fight the front line to pave the way for the Ming army.

Hu Zongxian understood what it meant, and immediately conceived various coordination.

After the two parties agreed, Li Yan said goodbye, drove to the beach, and raised his palm.

The earth, water, fire, and wind gathered the vitality of the four directions, and a ray of light shot straight into the sky.

Summon the fairy gods!

The first to appear is the lifeless old mother, whose strong faith will turn into blossoming white lotuses, walking down from the sky;

Followed by two white jade-like dragons winding in the void, accompanied by wind, rain, thunder and lightning, they are the little white dragon and the dragon girl brother and sister;
Finally, Bajie carried the branches of the treasured ginseng tree on his shoulders, and with his big ears fanning the wind, he arrived slowly;
The old mother without life, the Bodhisattva of the Eight Dragons, the Bodhisattva of Guangli, the dragon girl holding the pearl, the messenger of the pure altar...

Gather in the East China Sea!

There is a second change at zero o'clock
