I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 265 Shifting Strategic Focus
When the former guard of the governor's mansion who was in charge of delivering the news entered the barracks under the leadership of the soldiers, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou standing on the high platform, commanding the soldiers under their command, and practicing a brand new army formation.

"Gather!"

After the order was issued, a team of 11 people gathered at an extremely fast speed.

The soldier at the front is the captain, and the two behind are holding shields in their hands. They are responsible for guarding the entire formation and not being scattered by the enemy!In addition, there are two other people holding short knives, who are responsible for guarding and supporting. When the enemy adopts a detour, they will rush to kill the enemy.

In addition, in the middle, there are four spearmen holding spears, two on the left and two on each side, who are responsible for guarding the captain in front and the two soldiers holding shields.

At the end, there are two soldiers holding firecrackers. Their task is to use the firecrackers in their hands to kill the enemy from a long distance.

"Well, not bad, let's stop here for today!"

After Qi Jiguang finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Yu Dayou who was aside, and said.

"Well, I think so too."

Seeing this, Yu Dayou on the side nodded, and immediately responded.

"General, there is a guard from the Governor's Mansion asking to see him outside. He said he is here to deliver news!"

At this moment, Qi Jiguang's bodyguard came forward and reported respectfully.

"Well, General Ben knows, let him come over."

Qi Jiguang didn't seem to be surprised by the news, and then ordered.

"Yes, General!"

After the bodyguard responded, he quickly left.

After a while, the guard of the governor's mansion who came to the barracks to deliver the news, came in front of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou under the guidance of the soldiers under the command of the two, and saluted respectfully.

"I have seen two generals!"

"Well, tell me, what's the matter?"

Qi Jiguang nodded, turned his gaze away from the man, and then asked.

"It's like this, the governor said, counting the days, the imperial court's reward should be coming soon!"

"Therefore, he asked you to go over to the Governor's Mansion."

After listening to the news brought by the guard, both Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou couldn't help but smile.

After seeing Yu Dayou coughing twice, he said slowly.

"Well, we know, we will rush to the Governor's Mansion immediately."

"Go back and return to life first!"

"Thank you two generals!"

Seeing that his mission had been completed, the guard rode on his fast horse after saluting Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, and galloped away in the direction he had come.

……

Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

After the guard told Hu Zongxian everything he had seen and heard during his trip, he left respectfully.

"A new army formation?"

Hu Zongxian couldn't help murmuring after listening to the guard's report.

At this moment, there was a sound of reporting from outside.

"My lord governor, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou have arrived at the governor's mansion and are waiting at the gate."

"Well, let them wait in the conference hall first, and I will go there later."

Hu Zongxian didn't even lift his head, and gave orders casually.

"Yes, my lord governor."

After the visitor responded, he turned and left, for fear of disturbing Hu Zongxian's rest.

After a long time, I saw Hu Zongxian slowly getting up from the reclining chair, and after moving his limbs a little, he walked towards the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion with his hands behind his back at a particularly leisurely pace.

When Hu Zongxian stepped into the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion with his hands behind his back, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, who had been waiting on the seats, suddenly got up from their seats and said in a deep voice.

"I have seen the Governor!"

"Sit, both of you."

Hu Zongxian didn't seem to care much about this, he just waved his hand, signaling the two to sit back in their seats.

"I heard from the previous guards that you are experimenting with a brand new military formation. How is the current progress?"

After Hu Zongxian got up, picked up the teapot, and poured himself a cup of hot tea, he turned his gaze to the two and asked.

"Report to the Governor, right now, this kind of military formation that is being tested, the subordinates will name it the Yuanyang formation!"

Seeing Hu Zongxian mentioning this matter, Qi Jiguang immediately got up from his seat and responded in a deep voice.

"Oh, mandarin duck array?"

After hearing Qi Jiguang's explanation, Hu Zongxian was quite puzzled by this, and his face was full of doubts.

"Well, yes, mandarin duck array!"

"Your Excellency, the general will develop this new type of military formation. On the one hand, it is to deal with Japanese pirates in the coastal area, and on the other hand, it is to guard against the cavalry of the Tartars!"

After listening to Qi Jiguang's explanation, Hu Zongxian suddenly realized.

Qi Jiguang, as the chief soldier of Jizhou, besides destroying the Japanese pirates, he also had to beware of the Tatar cavalry on the grassland.

"These guys come to harass our Ming border from time to time, looting everywhere!"

"Now, the Japanese plague in the south has been eradicated. Sooner or later, I will write a letter to His Majesty and send my troops to the north to wipe them out!"

After listening to Qi Jiguang's narration, Hu Zongxian couldn't help saying in a deep voice.

"Yeah, the situation in the north is not optimistic right now, and it's all up to Yang Bo alone."

Seeing this, Qi Jiguang at the side also followed Ying He.

"Yang Bo, it seems that he was appreciated by Zhai (zhai) Luan when he patrolled the Nine Frontiers in the early years, and then he managed the military affairs of Jizhou and Baoding. If I remember correctly, he seems to be the Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of War. ?”

After hearing the name Yang Bo, Hu Zongxian recalled it for a long time, and then confirmed it to Qi Jiguang.

"Your Excellency, what you said is correct, exactly."

Seeing this, Qi Jiguang responded immediately.

"Hey, in recent years, he has suffered a lot!"

"For a long time, the strategy implemented by the imperial court has always been to go south first and then go north! That is to say, after the Japanese plague in the south is eliminated first, the Tatars in the north will be gradually dealt with."

"Therefore, the north has always adopted an active defensive strategy!"

"Now that the Japanese plague in the south has been eradicated, it's time to consider dealing with the Tatars in the north."

Hu Zongxian tapped the table with his fingers very regularly, and said slowly.

"My lord, do you want to..."

Yu Dayou on the side seemed to see what Hu Zongxian was thinking. He took a deep breath and calmed down before asking.

"Well, that's right, I plan to send a memorial to His Majesty in a few days, requesting the court to make corresponding preparations, and gradually shift the focus to the Tatars in the north."

Hu Zongxian nodded and responded like this.

"Well, what the Governor-General said makes sense. The problem of the South Wo and North Tartars that has plagued the court for a long time has been solved halfway!"

"If the Tatars who occupy the north and invade the border of our Ming Dynasty from time to time can also be wiped out, not only can the border be stabilized, but also they can drive straight in and take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the pastures there and use them as our Daming's horse farm."

The more Yu Dayou talked, the more excited he was, he was about to stand up from his seat, his eyes were full of hope.

At this moment, there was a flurry of footsteps coming from outside the door, Hu Zongxian couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

After a while, the visitor looked flustered, knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', turned his gaze to Hu Zongxian who was sitting above him, and reported in a deep voice.

"Q...Qi, my lord governor, the court's reward has arrived, and the person who came this time is still the old father-in-law."

"Well, I understand, you can go down."

After hearing the news, Hu Zongxian drank the tea in the cup, and then ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After the visitor responded, he left the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion.
