The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 597 Great Military Concept

On the canopy.

Two large flags were flying on the tall ship that sailed against the wind and waves.

Letter to Xu and Wang

At the bow, two men were wearing black velvet cloaks, one with a square scarf and the other with a wide scarf.

The two men looked at the Ming navy not far away, both with proud expressions on their faces.

……

[April of the 1556th year of the Jiajing reign ().]

[Pirate Xu Hai led Japanese pirates to plunder Shanghai, Guazhou, Cixi and other places. Xu Hai, Chen Dong and Ma Ye led more than 10,000 people to attack Zhapu. ]

【At that time, Cixi was the most seriously affected by Japanese pirates in Liangzhe. Yuhang was the second worst. Tuolin, Zhapu and Wuzhen were all their nests, with more than 20,000 Japanese pirates stationed there. The Ming army had no choice but to send people to negotiate the surrender of the enemy leaders Wang Zhi and Xu Hai.】

【Wang Zhi and Hu Zongxian were from the same hometown. Seeing that Hu Zongxian treated his family well, Wang Zhi was shaken and sent his adopted son to negotiate surrender. Xu Hai also wanted to surrender after hearing about it.】

【Hu Zongxian alienated the relationship between the pirate leaders, causing them to attack each other. He then took advantage of the situation to besiege them in Liangzhuang. Xu Hai committed suicide by drowning, and the other enemy generals were captured. The Japanese invasion in Liangzhe was eased for a short period of time.】

[In April and May of the 1557th year of Jiajing (), Japanese pirates came in large numbers again, plundering Yangzhou and Gaoyou in the south and Huai'an in the north.]

[In October, Wang Zhi surrendered in Hangzhou.]

【Wang Bengu, the inspector of Taiwan, put Wang Zhi in prison. Hu Zongxian petitioned to pardon Wang Zhi's death penalty. The court suspected that Hu Zongxian had a deal with Wang Zhi. Hu Zongxian dared not say anything more, and Wang Zhi was executed.】

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
Li Shiming supported his elbow with one hand and pinched his chin with the other.

"This scene seems familiar?"

"Brother, what do you think?"

Li Jiancheng took a handful of hazelnut kernels and put them into his mouth.

"I think?"

"I think if you keep going like this, the guy in the room will jump out and beat you up."

The two looked at the palace door closing behind them.

Li Shimin put down his hand that was pinching his chin and crossed his arms across his chest.

"I don't think I'll ever learn how to adapt to the situation, Aye."

……

Datang.

Li Shimin looked at the eunuch who came to deliver the message, and his head twitched with pain!

"I know, just tell that stubborn guy!"

"I will hold a court meeting after watching Jiajing!"

"And now!"

Li Shimin pushed Li Chengqian out.

Li Chengqian staggered two steps unexpectedly.

The emperor drove the prince and the eunuchs out of the garden like chasing ducks.

"The Crown Prince will now oversee the country!"

After saying that, he turned and walked away, muttering as he walked:

"Country bumpkin... you can't even take a break!"

"Prince? If you don't use it, it will be wasted!"

Li Chengqian glanced at the eunuch who was wiping his sweat, and said helplessly:

"Minister Wei is still in Taiji Palace right now?"

The chamberlain nodded.

"He said that if His Majesty didn't attend court, he would stand outside the Taiji Hall for a day."

Li Chengqian felt dizzy.

He held his forehead and sighed.

"It's troublesome..."

While sighing, Li Chengqian walked towards the Taiji Hall.

"Trouble!"

……

【The remaining troops of Wang Zhi occupied Cengang. Hu Zongxian ordered Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang and others to attack from all sides, but they failed to take the city.】

[In 1558, a new group of Japanese pirates invaded again. Hu Zongxian had no idea how to deal with the enemy. Seeing that the Japanese pirates had withdrawn from his defense zone, he let them go and stopped caring about them. As a result, the Japanese pirates became rampant along the coast of Fujian.]

[The people of Fujian wrote to impeach Hu Zongxian and put the blame on his neighbors. Hu Zongxian pushed the responsibility onto Yu Dayou. Yu Dayou was arrested and imprisoned. Qi Jiguang was dismissed from office and ordered to kill the enemy while guilty.]

[Soon after, Qi Jiguang was reinstated and was appointed to guard the three prefectures of Tai, Jin, and Yan.]

……

Southern Song Dynasty Xiaozong period
"Okay, that's great."

Zhao Shen certified it.

The Ming Dynasty inherited the glory of the Song Dynasty.

Exactly the same, not a single bit changed.

Yue Fei turned his attention to Qi Jiguang.

His intuition told him that this man would give him a big surprise.

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di sat up straight, narrowed his eyes, and said softly:
"coming."

Let me see why you can be compared with Yu Qian.

……

[Less than a month after Qi Jiguang took office again, a group of more than 800 Japanese pirates invaded Longshan, the gateway to central Zhejiang.]

[The imperial court mobilized thousands of soldiers to defend the city, and the Japanese pirates attacked from three directions. The Ming army, which had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, could not resist and retreated one after another.]

[It was not until Qi Jiguang risked his life to shoot and kill the three leading Japanese pirate leaders that the Japanese army retreated.]

[In October, the Japanese pirates invaded again.]

[Under the personal supervision of Zhejiang Governor Ruan E, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and Taizhou Prefect Tan Lun led the three armies to fight together and defeated the Japanese pirates. ]

【However, due to lax military discipline and underestimation of the enemy, the entire army was almost wiped out. 】

[Qi Jiguang felt deeply that the Ming army lacked strict training, the soldiers were of poor quality, their combat effectiveness was not strong, and their military discipline was lax. If they were not rectified in time, they would not be able to defeat the Japanese pirates.]

[In the winter of that year, Qi Jiguang drafted the "Public Proposal on the Establishment of Military Camps by Ren Linguan", proposing for the first time to the court the establishment of military camps, the selection of soldiers, and the training of soldiers.]

[Although Hu Zongxian had doubts about the success of the military training, he still supported him.]

……

On the canopy.

The bearded general stood on the dais, holding the hilt of his sword.

Below is a huge group of strong and brave people.

The general looked at them and said in a deep voice:

"You are all people who farm at home, and you should know that food today is not easy to come by."

"Now, I will not need you to farm and work, and will support you for a year. I only hope that you will kill the bandits and ensure the safety of the people who farm."

When the brave men below heard that they would be fed for a year, they immediately began to whisper to each other.

The general seemed not to hear and continued:

"But I didn't raise you for nothing. I want to ask you, do you know Yue Family Army?"

The noise below fell silent.

"Know!"

A sturdy man said loudly, with a bit of excitement on his face.

"Yue's Army! They would rather die of cold than demolish houses, and would rather die of starvation than plunder! They are not the people of today..."

A companion covered his mouth.

The general smiled. "Yes, the soldiers I will recruit today are the Yue Family Army of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Since you have signed up to join the army, I think you also have some ambition to make contributions."

The general's expression changed and he said loudly:
"But soldiers kill thieves! And thieves kill civilians!"

"The people need you to kill the thieves!"

"If you really kill the bandits, abide by military laws, and don't harass them, they will definitely respect you as they respect Yue's army!"

……

[In August 1559, Qi Jiguang went to Yiwu to recruit soldiers. After a rigorous selection process, he selected men.]

【Qi Jiguang was an outstanding military strategist. 】

[He is outstanding not because his method of training soldiers is unparalleled in the world.]

【He put forward a viewpoint that subverted the military philosophy of the Ming Dynasty.】

[A strong army cannot be maintained by the individual ability of the commander, but requires a perfect system and correct execution to maintain its long-term prosperity. ]

[The so-called "complete military system, strict enforcement of orders, set standards, emphasis on the four arts, strict military discipline, and heavy rewards and punishments can maintain a strong and powerful army for a long time"]

[It was with the support of this theory that these four thousand men were trained to become the Ming Dynasty's top fighting force.]

【Qi's Army.】

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"Qi's Army...Yue's Army..."

Liu Che naturally remembered Yue's army.

This army has a spirit that no army in history has had, a very unique and pure spirit.

"He wants to build such an army?"

Wei Zifu frowned and said:
"The fate of Yue's army was not good. Wouldn't such a statement scare these people away?"

Liu Che shook his head.

"Yue's army was fighting against the Jin people. This was a blood feud and a matter of national justice."

“And the same is true of these people.”

"Yue Family Army is the most suitable comparison."

"But I'm afraid of one thing now..."

Liu Che looked at the line of words "Military system is complete" with a complicated look.

Private armies often have a stronger desire to fight than official troops.

The reasons are nothing more than a few points.

The personal prestige of the commander-in-chief, the soldiers' deep hatred for the enemy, the need for mobilization for fighting, the strict discipline, and the regional ties of the same clan.

The Qi family army not only possessed all of these, but also had its own unique ideas.

Unlike other family armies, most other recruited armies can only rely on the dispatch of their original commanders.

Once the commander is replaced, either the fighting effectiveness will collapse or the morale will decline.

The theory of Qi's army can break free from this constraint.

An army that can maintain firm discipline, absolute obedience, and an indomitable fighting spirit no matter who commands it.

This kind of army...

I'm afraid it will be difficult for people to accommodate.

"His Majesty!"

Huo Qubing came to his senses and looked at Liu Che excitedly:
"Your Majesty! Let me train the troops!"

"Just use this concept! Just use this!"

"The military system is perfect! Orders are obeyed! Strict military discipline! Heavy rewards and punishments!"

"That's wonderful!"

"This is a concept that will make us a fierce and vigorous army that can protect the world forever!"

Liu Che looked at Huo Qubing, who was as excited as a child, and sighed slightly in his heart.

He was even more certain now.

The Qi family army will not have a good end.

……

[Qi's army had the most training subjects among all the Ming armies.]

[These include formations, commands, training the mind, courage, strength, and martial arts. ]

[Also, the Qi Family Army was well treated. Although the salary was not high, only equivalent to the annual income of a self-employed farmer, the bonuses were generous.]

[For example, for every enemy killed, a reward of thirty taels would be given, and the captured spoils would be divided equally among the soldiers.]

[When there is no war, we use training as a bonus.]

【Those with good grades will receive bonuses, and those with poor grades will have their wages deducted. 】

[Also, for example, meritorious service in battle, bravery in charging, no matter how small the merit is, will be rewarded, and no matter how small the mistake is, there will be a reason to deduct money.]

[In addition to being strict, the Qi Family Army also had a humane side. It stipulated that except for matters of principle such as military secrets, treason, murder, rape, theft, and gambling, other mistakes could be exempted from punishment as long as they were first committed. However, once punished, the soldiers of the same unit would be gathered together, the military law would be hung high on the altar, and they would be punished on the spot.]

[The Qi family army also did a good job in ideological work. Each battalion's battle flag was painted with a different totem to show the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and the country, and ideological mobilization was instilled into every soldier.]

[Qi Jiguang's ideal was to use a strict system to establish the honor, dignity, morale, and faith of an army and to build an invincible army. He did it.]

[Strict training, strict rewards and punishments, firm discipline, all for this sword that cuts through all obstacles - the Qi Family Army.]

[In March 1560, Qi Jiguang was appointed as the lieutenant general of Taizhou, Jinhua, and Yanzhou.]

[And the real battle begins from now on. ]

[Qi's army, the sword is unsheathed! 】

……

Datang.

Tai Chi Hall.

Li Chengqian looked at Wei Zheng with an embarrassed look on his face.

"This...Minister Wei..."

"There are some things I don't quite understand, so I'm sorry to bother Minister Wei with his concern."

Wei Zheng saluted with a straight face and said:
"The Crown Prince has been the regent for a year, and he is well aware of all matters, big and small. The contribution of a humble minister is not worth mentioning."

"I have only one question for your Highness."

"Your Majesty, do you really want to learn from Jiajing?"

Li Chengqian was numb. He then glanced at the sky and said thoughtfully:
"What does Minister Wei think of the current military system of the Tang Dynasty? I think Qi Jiguang's method is very good."

Wei Zheng’s stern face froze.

"Your Majesty needs to make the decision on this matter."

Li Chengqian nodded.

"Yes, I have to ask Aye about this kind of important matter."

The old and the young looked at each other.

"Minister Wei, please."

"Your Highness, please."

West Sea Pool.

"Ah!"

Li Shimin sneezed violently.

He took Empress Changsun's handkerchief and wiped his nose.

When he saw the military training concept on the sky curtain, a hint of joy flashed across his face.

The future military system of the Tang Dynasty has been established!
But in a flash, his expression suddenly froze.

"not good!"

Country bumpkin!
