Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 453 We are back

  Continue to read, it is the drill summary.

This is different from general laws such as the so-called Sun Tzu's Art of War, but almost every detail of the requirements is extremely detailed, from orders, to tactics, to camping, martial arts, sentry guards, water warfare, etc., even if It is that every soldier has enough requirements when he is in battle.

  This kind of military art book, if a scholar reads it, I'm afraid they will have a headache.

  Because the text inside is too long-winded, the details of how to fight and rewards and punishments are repeatedly listed.

   People who don't know how to do it just sneer at it.

  Because of things like drills and wars, why is it so detailed.

   But from Qi Jingtong's point of view, he was horrified.

  Isn't this... the method of strengthening soldiers and training that I dreamed of?

  He is not a scholar, and at the same time, he is not an ordinary person. He has a deep understanding of wars and drills, and even the soldiers of Ming Dynasty.

  Because of this, he realized that the military system of Ming Dynasty, perhaps a hundred years ago, was once extremely strong, but now, it has long been corrupted and corrupted, full of problems.

  Qi Jingtong felt that he was alone, he saw too many problems, but so what?

He couldn't change it, even though he was in Penglai Water Village back then, and even though he was favored by the Ministry of War at the beginning, he also knew that he was not in charge of choosing soldiers, nor was he able to make decisions about the supply of military rations, and even, How to reward and punish the subordinates is not something he can decide in one word. Without sufficient rations, drills cannot be intensified, because the soldiers' bodies can't bear it. And once they practice fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days, the soldiers will easily slacken. When soldiers lose their minds, they idle about. In wartime, when the wind is favorable, they can swarm and kill them, but when the wind is headwind, they can swarm and disperse.

  The saddest thing about a person is that when he sees a problem, he is powerless to change it, so he puts everything on luck.

  At the beginning, he took the ship out of the Penglai water village, so why didn't he just hope for this luck, and it turned out...God will never favor those who are not prepared.

He continued to see that from now on, with regard to the formation of soldiers fighting and water warfare, three or five people form a team, and the soldiers perform their own duties. It is required that no matter how many thieves there are, the soldiers must maintain coordination with their own robes, He even proposed that those who act bravely will be dealt with by military law.

Among the military laws, it is even more severe: cutting down trees, trampling people's property, burning people's houses, committing adultery and stealing, cutting off the dead soldiers' heads, killing captive men, defiled captive women, and even killing Civilians, falsely claiming to be thieves, the laws of heaven do not tolerate, and those who do not forgive the laws of the king, if they commit crimes, they will be punished by military law, and they will be punished regardless.

  Qi Jingtong's body trembled.

  This...is the way to strengthen the army that I was looking for.

   Almost every word here is aimed at correcting the existing shortcomings of the Ming army, and all the details stipulated in it are almost tailor-made for the creation of a new army.

   Even, there are many methods of training soldiers that have appeared in my mind in the past.

  At that time, I also imagined how to get rid of the ills one day.

  Naturally, he knew that he couldn't do this, and these were just thoughts.

  He even thought that if he had a son, he would definitely tell his son what he had thought for many years.

  If you can't do it yourself, your son may not be able to do it.

  Can now...

  No one can understand Qi Jingtong's thoughts, Tang Yin can't understand, there is a difference between civil and military. Hu Kaishan didn't understand, Hu Kaishan was not a military officer before, and he never really had a deep understanding of Ming's military system.

  Deep in Qi Jingtong's heart, there was actually sadness.

  This book... seems to be written just for myself.

   It is also specially proposed for the decayed and old military system of Daming.

  Qi Jingtong looked at Tang Yin with red eyes: "According to the law of war, do you need to train soldiers?"

   "Yes, even the selection of soldiers is done in this way."

  In an instant, the tears could not be contained.

   After the defeat, Qi Jingtong did not cry.

  Relegated to Deputy Qianhu, Qi Jingtong still didn't cry.

  Hu Kaishan punched him on the shoulder, and he gritted his teeth in pain, but he still didn't cry.

But now, Qi Jingtong was crying, and with a puff, he knelt in the fishy mud, holding the military training minutes as if he had found a treasure, tears streaming down his face, and choked up, saying: "The Qi family has been favored by the country. Years, now there are Tatars in the north and Japanese pirates in the south, both of which are serious problems for the imperial court, and the armies... are no longer able to fight. If things go on like this, who will protect the country and the people. Now...now... finally there is salvation, there is salvation...I, Qi Jingtong ...cough cough..."

   Tang Yin looked at Qi Jingtong with a habitual expression.

   Really tired.

  My mentor always has the ability to make people cry.

  Tang Yin has seen this kind of scene a lot with his mentor, so it's fine to cry, it's nothing.

  Hu Kaishan didn't give up, he was busy trying to help Qi Jingtong up, but in fact, he almost lifted Qi Jingtong up.

   "Don't cry, we are men, there is nothing to cry, the soldiers are there, don't let people see it, it's embarrassing."

  Qi Jingtong was still twitching and choking, with tears in his eyes: "Tang Xiuzhuan, Hu Qianhu, this uncle Xinjian...who is he...why is he..."

   "My mentor... is an amazing person, he is both gentle and martial, and everyone in the capital approves of him." Tang Yin actually wanted to truthfully state his mentor. But soon, this idea was dispelled, because...the minister does not show the evil of the king, and the son does not speak of the father's fault. How can a disciple slander his teacher.

  Qi Jingtong was in awe, and said in his heart that he had been in Dengzhou and Laizhou for a long time, but he didn't know that there was such a person in the world.

Hu Kaishan couldn't help but said: "Yes, benefactor is not only capable, but the most important thing is his noble character. This time, I, Hu Kaishan, admire him the most. I, Hu Kaishan, have also read some books by scholars. In other words, if a person is as flawless as beautiful jade, then he is a gentleman, if there is such a gentleman in this world, if you think about it, he must be like Mr. Benedict."

  Qi Jingtong shuddered, not daring to underestimate it.

  In the world, is there really such a person?

He suddenly felt a surge of emotion: "I, Qi Jingtong, am just a vulgar martial artist. I wish I could meet a gentleman like Uncle Xinjian. Today, I was ordered to come here to assist Tang Xiuzhuan and Hu Qianhu in training soldiers. I will act like a dog Lao, if you hide your selfishness, both humans and gods will be punished."

  When people have hope, they feel energetic all over.

  Hu Kaishan smiled happily, and punched Qi Jingtong on the shoulder again: "Good man, I just like Qi Qianhu's straightforwardness."

   "..." Qi Jingtong still had tears in his eyes, his eyeballs did not move, his mouth bulged slightly, as if he had taken a long breath, and stood straight, motionless.

   "What's wrong?"

  Qi Jingtong closed his eyes slowly, still holding his breath, tears were swirling in the corners of his eyes, and he still didn't say a word.

   "Ah, Qi Qianhu, are you okay?"

  Hoo...

Qi Jingtong was finally sure that he would not let out a hissing lung-piercing roar from the severe pain, and could still maintain his consciousness, before he let out a long breath. He breathed heavily, and his face was pale, as if Just returned from the battlefield, his right arm was hanging on his shoulder, as if it was not his own, and he waved his left hand: "It's nothing, nothing, next time, can you change your arm? Change the left one, the right one... it's going to be broken."

   "What?" Hu Kaishan looked at Qi Jingtong innocently.

  ...

  Qi Jingtong quickly became familiar with the environment here.

  He likes it here, watching the soldiers eat meat and fish, like a group of young soldiers, but when they practice, they are very ruthless.

  There is a ruthlessness in the bones of these soldiers.

   Not only that, Qi Jingtong also followed them out to sea, he saw Tang Yin on the small boat, beating on the side of the boat, and then, he also saw a yellow tide in this sea area.

  Then, the soldiers shouted to each other, and dozens of people from small sea boats cast fishing nets one by one.

  Qi Jingtong also rolled up his sleeves and joined the fishing business.

  He likes to eat large yellow croaker, especially fish soup, although at this time, the cooking research on large yellow croaker has evolved, and people no longer like to boil soup, but prefer to steam it. If it is a master at the level of a great master, it is like Wen Yansheng, the prefect of Ningbo, whom Qi Jingtong was invited to meet the day before yesterday. The prefect Wen's research on yellow croakers has reached a level beyond the reach of others. He will soak the large yellow croaker in high-quality rice wine for several days , and then simmer over low heat. In the belly of the fish, hide some pepper and garlic. When taking it out, take ice rice wine and eat it while the heat in the fish is still there.

   Can be used as an entry-level foodie, he just enjoys the feeling of the soup, which is comfortable.

  He also loves to hunt big yellow croakers, especially when the soldiers are desperately trying to get into the net, all of them are excited and inexplicable.

  Qi Jingtong felt comfortable, so comfortable.

  He found that the soldiers became more and more familiar with the operation of the ship, and some people even raised issues that needed improvement in the ship.

  They hope that their ship will be faster and stronger, and a group of artisans hired with money will always repair and improve the ship around the ship.

  All of this... is caused by money. Many people began to buy the large yellow croakers here, dry them, and sell them elsewhere. As soon as the big ship returned to the port, the port was full of excitement. Countless people were looking forward to the return of the majestic Zhenguofu. Immediately afterwards, the sailors disembarked directly, took a short rest, and began to practice.

  Now, some short-term laborers have been hired to take care of the loading and unloading of the goods.

  Not only that, new types of crossbows began to move onto the bow of the ship.

  The sailors will stand in the harbor, trying to control the crossbow again and again.

  Qi Jingtong couldn't figure it out, this giant crossbow...is different from other places.

   Whenever he had doubts, Hu Kaishan would punch him on the right shoulder affectionately, and said affectionately: "You will understand, well, you will soon understand the function of this giant crossbow."

   Half a month later.

  The big ship leaves the port.

  The sailors were extraordinarily excited, and they screamed during the early morning drills.

   Greed radiated from their eyes.
