I am the carpenter king

Chapter 257 Qi Family Army

The geographical location of Santunying is very special. Santunying Town is located in the west of Qianxi County.However, in the early Ming Dynasty, this was just a small frontier town, but because of one person, it became an important border town. This person was Qi Jiguang, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the Santun Camp in front of him, Huang Taiji frowned slightly, glanced at Chen Liangyu beside him, and asked in a deep voice: "This is the Santun Camp, the place Qi Jiguang guarded back then?"

Nodding his head slowly, Chen Liangyu said in a deep voice: "Yes, after Qi Jiguang, who made the Japanese pirates fearful, came to Ji Town, the Oala, Tatar, and Duoyan tribes north of the Great Wall were extremely frightened. In order to effectively play the defensive role of the Great Wall , Qi Jiguang suggested to the Ming court to thicken the city walls and create hollow enemy towers for the first time. Hollow enemy towers can not only garrison dozens of elite soldiers, but also store food and munitions. At that time, more than 3000 hollow enemy towers were built on the front line of Jimen. The Duoyan Tribe leaders Dong Huli and Chang Ang were defeated many times in Qingshankou and Xifengkou areas, and Dong Huli’s younger brother Chang Tu was captured, forcing the Duoyan tribe to promise not to invade the Ming Dynasty again. It’s just that so many years have passed. Most of the enemy platforms have been abandoned."

Chen Liangyu's tone was very flat, but Huang Taiji was quite emotional, if Qi Jiguang was still alive, he wouldn't dare to come here!Looking carefully at Santunying, Huang Taiji said appreciatively: "Qi Jiguang is worthy of being a famous general of his generation, and the position of Santunying is really well chosen."

Nodding his head slowly, Chen Liangyu said seriously: "Back to Lord Baylor, Qi Jiguang has been stationed in the Santun camp of Ji Town for 16 years. During this time, he trained soldiers to build the Great Wall, and rebuilt and expanded three Tunying City and Town House. Make Santunying a veritable military town. After the reconstruction, Santunying City is three feet high and seven miles in circumference. There are five turrets and nine enemy towers built on the city. Two water gates face each other. , There is a Bell and Drum Tower in the center of the city, and the town mansion is a small town within the city. A pair of stone lions guard the gate of the mansion. Even if the three camps are broken, the town mansion inside will be very difficult to attack.”

Seeing Chen Liangyu's seriousness, Huang Taiji said with a smile: "Sir, just tell me what you know, and I will record this credit for you."

Giving a salute to Huang Taiji, Chen Liangyu said with a smile: "Master Belle was joking. Since Chen has come to Dajin, he naturally knows everything he can say. In Santunying City at that time, the government houses and private houses were arranged in an orderly manner. 72 The city is divided into many squares by a series of alleys. The expansion river, fodder field, martial arts hall and martial arts parade are all available. After the construction of Santun Yingcheng, Qi Jiguang cultivated culture and martial arts, and the border has been safe since then. If you are not familiar with the situation in the city, even If you rushed into the Santun camp, you must suffer a disadvantage once you get inside."

Hearing Chen Liangyu's words, Huang Taiji frowned suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "If it's according to what you said, how can we fight in the three camps? We only have 3 people, and we don't have enough time. We can't afford it here!" Wan stared at Chen Liangyu closely, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Master Belle, what Chen just said was the Santunying that Qi Jiguang built the city back then. After so many years, Qi Jiguang did not get any good results after the downfall of Zhang Juzheng. The Santunying he left behind naturally It is not getting the attention of the imperial court anymore. After so many years, many things in Santunying are deserted enough. But the army stationed here is different, although it is a bit deserted, there is a limit." Chen Liangyu smiled indifferently, He said with a sullen face: "But I think Lord Baylor must be interested in this place, because the soldiers stationed here are very special."

He stared at Chen Liangyu closely.Huang Taiji asked in a deep voice: "There are not many things that can interest Ben Baylor. Why is Mr. Chen so determined?"

"Back then, Qi Jiguang's Qi's army was famous outside the Great Wall. Qi Jiguang only brought 3000 people to Jiliao and trained [-] Qi's army. If it weren't for the imperial court's suspicion, could Qi Jiguang actually organize and train more Qi's army." Seeing Huang Taiji bowed his head and thought, Chen Liangyu went on to say: "In the second year of Longqing, Dong Huli, chief of the Duoyan tribe, led [-] Mongolian cavalry into the invaders. Qi Jiguang resisted with a chariot battalion, and led [-] musket cavalry to raid Dong Huli's tent. He defeated Duoyan's [-] cavalry and captured Dong Huli Nephew Chang Ang, Dong Huli only saved himself, forcing Dong Huhu to imprison and plead guilty; in the third year of Wanli, Changtu led [-] Wuliangha cavalry into the bandits, and Qi Jiguang led the musketeer cavalry to outflank the fortress, defeating [-] Mongolian cavalry in one go. Catch long bald alive."

Sighing lightly, Chen Liangyu said with a sigh: "Since the formation of the Qi family army in the 38th year of Jiajing to the resignation of Qi Jiguang in the 11th year of Wanli, the total number of enemy troops defeated by the Qi family army has exceeded 15, which can be said to be an extremely glorious record. But It is such a team, but it is not reused by the royal family, it is embarrassing."

Glancing at Chen Liangyu, Huang Taiji asked in a deep voice, "You won't tell me that the Qi family army is in Santun camp?"

Without answering Huang Taiji's words, Chen Liangyu looked at the three camps and said to himself: "During the Wanli period, he conquered North Korea three times. He fought Japanese pirates for a long time, and the Qi family army was basically lost. But Emperor Wanli didn't like Qi Jiguang. The Qi family army has not been rebuilt, and the remaining less than [-] people are now stationed in the Santun camp."

Hearing Chen Liangyu's words, Huang Taiji wished he could kick him off the horse, this time he was close to death.If it hadn't been for Chen Liangyu's surrender, he might not even be able to defeat Zunhua, let alone the strategy of surprise attacking Beijing.Yesterday, Huang Taiji had received the news that Liaodong had sent 5 people out. Although they don't know where they are now, Huang Taiji believed that they must be targeting him.

Because Chen Liangyu said that there is food, grass and military supplies here, Huang Taiji just wanted to come here to make a fortune. If Qi's army is stationed in the Santun camp, then what a fart it is!

Seemingly aware of something wrong with Huang Taiji, Chen Liangyu smiled calmly, and said in a flat tone: "There were two elite troops in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, but they were not taken seriously. One of them was in Liaodong, led by the general soldier Chen The Sichuan army led by Ce. The other is the Qi family army in Santunying. Qi Jiguang's nephew Qi Jin led this Qi family army. However, the imperial court has decreed to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang. Although the Qi family army has not been reused, Chen Mou It seems that this day may not be far away."

When Chen Liangyu said this, Huang Taiji was taken aback for a moment, he finally understood why Chen Liangyu brought himself here.Now the Qi family army is lingering here, with only 1 people, but it will be too late when the Ming Dynasty pays more attention to the Qi family army.At that time, it was not me and the others who attacked the Qi family army, but the Qi family army attacked me in turn.

Looking back at the soldiers behind him, Huang Taiji became more and more determined, even if all these people can't go back, you have to take down the three camps and wipe out the Qi family army.This is more practical than going around the city of Beijing, and I can't go to Beijing now, so it is worthwhile to kill a tiger of the Ming Dynasty here.

Seeing that the camp behind him was almost ready, Huang Taiji waved his hand lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Go back to the camp, let's study it!"

Seeing Huang Taiji leave, Qi Jin frowned very tightly. Although Qi Jin is Qi Jiguang's nephew, he is already in middle age.Qi Jiguang had a son, but the Qi family army was not handed over to Qi Jiguang's son because Qi Jin was very good.

When he was a teenager, Qi Jin was by Qi Jiguang's side. From fighting the Japanese pirates to later fighting the Mongolian Tartars, Qi Jin was always there.Having been by Qi Jiguang's side for many years, Qi Jin can be said to be the true biography of Qi Jiguang, and he knows everything about the Qi family army very well.

However, what is different from Qi Jiguang is Qi Jin's character. Qi Jiguang has righteousness in his heart, and he does not hesitate to defile himself for the sake of righteousness.As long as it is for the ideal in his heart, for the ambition in his heart, Qi Jiguang can endure things that ordinary people cannot bear.So Qi Jiguang did a lot of things that others didn't understand back then, making people think he was a rough person, a person who was not aboveboard.Of course, many of them were framed by the Donglin Party. After all, these people have the right to speak, and Qi Jiguang has no right to speak.

Qi Jin is different from Qi Jiguang, both have a series of ambitions, but Qi Jin's character is not like Qi Jiguang.On the contrary, he is very similar to Yu Dayou, the famous general back then, with the same uprightness, the same hatred for evil, and the same fearlessness of the powerful.

Yu Dayou successively served in the three dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, and his life was rough.In his 47-year military career, "sometimes he is highly used and has a prominent reputation; sometimes he is demoted and reduced to a prisoner". The fourth is a general, the sixth is the general soldier, and the tired official governor.Yu Dayou is different from Qi Jiguang, so his official career is smooth, while Qi Jiguang is attached to Zhang Juzheng.But then Zhang Juzheng fell from power, and Qi Jiguang was also implicated.

Although Qi Jin, as the chief soldier of Jizhou, led the Qi family army to garrison the Santun camp, he suffered countless cold rains for so many years.If it wasn't for his uncle's hard work and Qi's army, Qi Jin would have resigned and returned to his hometown long ago.

When the Jiannu soldiers were trapped in Zunhua, Qi Jin also wanted to rescue them, but he was not strong enough.Now there are only [-] Qi's troops in the three camps, let alone going out of the city, it's hard to say whether they can hold the three camps.

"General, are we asking for help from the imperial court?" A general standing behind Qi Jin frowned and said, although the Qi family army is good at fighting, but the food and pay have not been enough in recent years, and the imperial court has kept many equipment. The Qi family army is no longer the equipment it used to be. Excellent Qi family army.

Shaking his head slightly, Qi Jin said in a deep voice: "The fact that the slaves can come here means that Zunhua has been lost. It is useless for us to send someone to ask for help. If the imperial court sends troops, we don't need to ask for it. If we don’t send troops, it’s useless if we ask for it.”

"Yes, General!" The general saluted and retreated respectfully.Among the Qi family army, Qi Jin's words are more effective than Emperor Tianqi's imperial decree. (To be continued..)
