Chapter 465: Dragon Boat Festival
In the tenth year of Wanli, the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, human beings from now on should remember this day.
Wu Shanyan, the governor of his hometown who was dismissed and returned to his hometown, cried, not because this year's zongzi were too unpalatable, but because he had just been woken up from his afternoon nap and before he had time to lose his temper, he saw Emperor Taizu's shoehorn face with a dragon beard smiling at him across the courtyard wall.
From the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Song Dynasty, the founding emperors were all military aristocrats, and Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who had been a monk to eat, urgently needed to enhance legitimacy at the beginning of his reign, and the Manchu Dynasty both thought that it was necessary to make a fuss about the portrait of the emperor, so in addition to the positive phase, there were also many different phases, such as the shoehorn face and the alien portrait of the seventy-two imperial moles on Liu Bang's buttocks on the face.
This situation was not finally normal until the time of Zhu Di, in fact, it was not normal, but it finally evolved to a complete body, without the mole that caused dense fear, the shoehorn face was slightly better, and the beard under the jaw grew into a dragon's beard, majestic and tall.
However, what is really worth remembering for the world is that it happened in the north of the Dragon Boat Festival, and you have to cross the Great Wall and look north.
After a long journey of half a month, Qi Jiguang's soldiers divided into two routes, and drove down in the sandy forest of Fenghua basalt to lure the main force of the Tuman Department to the south bank of Dali Lake.
Last year, Qi Jiguang assigned the border army to pretend to be a Mongolian cavalry to reconnoiter the terrain and landforms of this generation, and specially ordered the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau to make a batch of sand-colored tents for him.
Because the march was sometimes sandy, sometimes gravel, sometimes grassy, the speed of formation varied, and at the slowest time, it would be a stick of incense slower than the land, that is, to create an opportunity for the enemy to kill himself.
Qi Jiguang never gave the enemy a chance.
The lure was successful, and the rider in the sand-colored cloak reported that the barbarians were camping on the south bank, and there were yurts on the border, as if there were still people fishing in the lake.
The car city in the sand is covered with a curtain, not to mention that the enemy can't see it, and even the riders of the headquarters want to go home It is difficult to find it, and it is all up to the counters on the road to accurately transmit the news back.
The tired rider entered the camp, was led by the patrol to the tent of the Chinese army, and said to Qi Jiguang: "Dashuai, the commander asked the two generals of Fried Hua and Huada when to attack, and they have followed the orders of Dashuai and are ready." ”
Qi Jiguang didn't seem to care about the preparations for the surrender of the Wulianghai army, he just calculated the baggage over and over again, and asked without raising his head: "When they asked you to report the news, did they explore the location of the big camp, or send someone to follow them?" ”
"But the Tainingwei rider asked, heh, the commander has an order, telling them to obey orders."
The young scout clenched his fists in a kneeling position, not daring to make the slightest movement in the big handsome, let alone in front of the big handsome, even if it was a small flag officer, the subordinates of the Qi family army did not dare to show the slightest slack look, speaking of which, they were very envious of the Oriental Army.
Even during this expedition of more than half a year, many veterans of the Qi family army had the idea of retiring after receiving the reward of the imperial court after fighting this battle.
They don't want to go home to farm, the southern army followed Qi Jiguang to defend the southeast and north to chase the Tatars, and the rewards for their excellent military skills were soft, so it was impossible for them to farm with peace of mind, and the vast majority of veterans hoped to go to Beiyang to enlist after retirement, and strive to work in the Great East Ocean for a few more years.
In comparison, although the Qi family's military salary is high and rewarded, where is the military government soldier not paid high and rewarded? What's more, the atmosphere of the Qi family's army is too serious and the military law is too strict, just like this herald cavalry, if he accidentally laughs or makes indecent little movements when answering to the main general, he will go out of the camp to find the military judge to tie him up, there is no other way to say.
The atmosphere of the Oriental Military Mansion is much better, according to a few fortunate to handle ordnance and go to the Beiyang Military Mansion to chat with the injured and retired Oriental Army, Chen Shuai of the Great Oriental Ocean lives a particularly happy life, and has been stationed in various counties in North Asia for a long time, and attaches great importance to the spare time life of the sergeant.
The flag army of the Oriental Military Mansion can read the script when they return to the camp for dinner, and the sergeants are allowed to enter the city on leave, as long as they don't look for flowers and willows, and don't poison the people, who cares if you drink tea and listen to music, several chief military officers are storytellers, and the overseas natives respect our Daming Army as an official...... What kind of fairy is that, dare you think?
What's more, the composition of the troops, the Oriental military government is more blessed than the West and the South Sea, the South Ocean is full of Fujian and Guangxi soldiers, and the West is full of soldiers from the two Guangzhou, and you are a Zhejiang soldier thrown into the Fujian and Guangzhou battalions and the two Guangxi battalions, and no one cares about you when you are angry, but the Oriental Army is different, there are vagrants from the four provinces, there are soldiers from Shaanxi and Shanxi, there are soldiers from Shandong, there are soldiers from Fujian and Guangdong, and naturally there are soldiers from Nanzhi and Zhejiang.
Anyway, it's all a hodgepodge, no one wants to bully anyone, and when you enter the training ground of the Beiyang Military Mansion, you can still learn a standard Shuntian official dialect, and those recruit training subjects in the Beiyang School are all played by veterans of the Qi Family Army, and they are the best soldiers in the past.
That's the most important place for martial artists in the world to go.
In fact, Qi Jiguang also knows these things, but he doesn't worry, leaving the battlefield of the southeast to suppress the Japanese, he is already handy with leading troops to train soldiers, and does not rely on the southern army, the northern soldiers can also practice and educate, there are so many people in the world, I am not afraid that no one will be a soldier.
Let alone...... The current conscription system is very dangerous for him, and he hopes that all soldiers in the empire can receive universal and standard rigorous training, which can also make him less suspicious.
As long as he is allowed to finish this battle that he does not know where he will be fought before he is called by the emperor, and let him retire successfully, it is a good thing.
There is no way, Qi Jiguang can basically guess his ending, the most distinctive feature of a person like him is not that he is strategizing thousands of miles away, not that he is pulling out a thousand pounds and riding a thousand, as a general, the most obvious feature is military training - this is a very uncomfortable position in the future history books.
Speaking of people and horses, the old man was sixty years old, and he led the elite Tartars under his command to return to the south and kick the camp.
Speaking of Li Chengliang, the elite cavalry of the Liaodong Tiger killed the tribal chiefs and called them grandfathers.
As soon as he said Qi Jiguang, this person was obviously useless, he used the Mandarin Duck Formation to fight Xiaoliukou in the south, and he was stationed at the northern gate of the Beijing Division for so many years, the Mandarin Duck Formation was not effective, and he actually fought those few small battles?
Who let those who know how to train soldiers fight a war, as long as the logistics can keep up, just push forward?
Qi Jiguang was grateful to the ambitious Wanli Emperor for declaring war on the north at this time, giving him the opportunity to crisscross the desert.
He was very satisfied with the caution of the herald cavalry, opened the camp tent and looked at the small flag waving in the wind on the lower head in the middle of the chariot formation, and slowly bowed his head, and said: "Go down and rest for an hour, as long as the wind direction remains the same, gallop to the camp of fried flowers, and it will be clear that it will attack the barbarian grazing camp tonight, and when they arrive, they should have seen the fire." ”
The sunset in Mobei is extremely beautiful, and the sergeants in the red car formation are busy planting the big monsters in the skeleton, and barrels of coal and boxes of long twisted flower bullets are moved into the basket.
In a place where the commander could not see, the mischievous sergeant scribbled with charcoal on the skin of the flying fish, saying "Don't fall into Lake Dari".
Anyway, tonight, when the stars are shining.
