Chapter Ninety-Five: The Threat of the Jianzhou Jurchen
"I said that I admire Qi Shuai very much, but I don't know if I will have the opportunity to meet in this life. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Regarding Kuroda Vocational High School's idea of wanting to see his father Qi Jiguang, Qi Ying thinks it is worth playing, what does he think? Is it to conquer the Ming Dynasty, or is it something else?
"My lord wants to go to Mingguo......"
Just looking at Qi Ying's eyes, Kuroda knew that he had misunderstood, because he saw a deep guard in Qi Ying's eyes. Although he is Qi Jiguang's son, and he seems to be extraordinary, after all, he is younger, his experience is insufficient, and he doesn't know what to hide.
"I just want to be myself, or take a few people to Mingguo to see Qi Shuai, which can be regarded as looking at my idol!"
"I see." Qi Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Because Qi Ying had already felt that this Kuroda vocational high school was different from some of the higher-ranking people he had seen. He is a person who hides his mind very deeply, a person who can easily make people feel good about him, a person who is very good at understanding people's hearts, a lord with great ability, a person who values the people very much, and an ambition that is extremely well hidden, even to the point that he does not even know it.
Such a person is an opponent that Qi Ying has never seen, and the above evaluation was given by Qi Jiguang and Hu Shouren when they were chatting.
The current Daming, in the chaos of the court, if this Kuroda Vocational High School really has any unfavorable thoughts about Daming, relying on Qi Ying's understanding of him, even if he can't pose any threat to Daming in the short term, you must know that he is a young man in his twenties. Being young means that he has a lot of time and a lot of opportunities in the future.
He had been living in this place for three years, and he had a lot of knowledge about the Wakoku, and he felt that if nothing else, in time, this Kuroda Vocational High School would definitely be able to go to the highest place in the Wakoku, and although he could not become the emperor of the Wakoku at that time, he already knew the meaning of the emperor, and it was not a position that could not be replaced or violated.
"I want to know, why did you come to my country with Master Zhang in the future! In this way, didn't you delay the task given to you by Qi Shuai? Kuroda asked.
"Speaking of which, it's actually not that I haven't completed the task, the kid has been in Liaodong for two whole years before, and he has a general understanding of the situation of the Jurchens, and he wrote all this information into a document and presented it to his father, my task has actually been completed."
"Oh! So what do you know about the Jurchen tribes, I mean, can you tell us about that information? Of course, this is also a secret that you have obtained, and if you don't want to say it, I will definitely not force it. Kuroda said.
"Kuroda-sama is serious, this is not a secret, the adult and the Jurchens have trade dealings, and if you want to know, there are some things that you will know more than the boy. What I know is actually very simple, for example, this Jurchen is indeed a nation on horseback, almost all men, women and children are proficient in riding, and there are 30,000 people who control the strings, of course, this is the number of the entire Jurchen departments combined, the boy does not probe deeply, and the number may not be very accurate. ”
Kuroda Vocational High School remembered the sentence that the Jurchen was not satisfied with ten thousand, and it was invincible. In the early days of the Later Jin Dynasty (Qing Dynasty), the Eight Banners system followed the old Jurchen system, with every 300 people as a cow record, according to historical records, there were 308 Manchurian cattle records, 76 Mongolian cattle records, and 16 Han army cattle records, a total of 400 people, that is, 12,000 people in the Manchurian system.
On the basis of the original historical trajectory, the Jurchen tribes have undergone a major merger, and the number of 12,000 is the number after excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, so it is not incomprehensible that Qi Ying said that there were 30,000 Jurchen soldiers at this time.
"At present, the Jurchen tribes are very scattered and independent, and the number is not very large, among them, if it is really according to what my father said, at some time in the future, there may be a clan that unifies the various tribes, according to the information obtained by the kid before, I think it will definitely be the Jianzhou Jurchen." Qi Ying said affirmatively.
"Jianzhou Jurchen! How so! Kuroda asked.
"Lord Kuroda doesn't know that the truth of this Jianzhou Jurchen is for the other four Jurchens, although they live in the land of barbarians, but the place where they live is close to Kannai, and the geographical location is obviously more convenient. And because it is close to the Liaodong Governor of the Ming Dynasty, there are many people in the Ming Dynasty who are in the army, and there are many people who have become middle and senior generals. In contrast, the other four are far away from the Ming Dynasty and are not civilized, but they are not a big threat.
It is precisely because of this that the Jianzhou Jurchens are very familiar with the situation of our Ming Dynasty, including the formation of the army, the way of supply and combat, the use of military formations, and how to make tactical arrangements, which is their natural intelligence advantage. Once the war starts, even if there is a huge disadvantage in numbers, you can still be invincible through the understanding of our Ming army, which is the most terrifying place.
It can be said that they know themselves and their opponents to us, and I, Daming, because of my long-term understanding of the Heavenly Empire, do not know ourselves and do not know the other for them. In such a situation, I think Kuroda-sama, who is well versed in warfare, definitely knows what it means. ”
"Hmmm! Lord Qi is right, intelligence is one of the key factors that affect a battle, and sometimes it can indeed determine the outcome of a battle of life and death. If it is really like what Lord Qi said, this Jurchen is indeed a big hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty and a strong enemy in the future. ”
Kuroda vocational high school very much agrees with his point of view that intelligence comes first, he himself as a later generation, he attaches great importance to the role of intelligence, so he will vigorously form and support the concentric people, the previous wars of the Kuroda family also show how correct Kuroda vocational high school is to do this, just get the results of intelligence dozens of minutes in advance, it may affect a battle, not to mention that the Kuroda family often blocks the news, so that the enemy can not get information. It can be said that at this point, the two resonated.
Qi Ying was a little surprised by Kuroda's words, he didn't expect this Japanese to have such knowledge, so he said: "Intelligence is indeed very important, so I have been collecting it very carefully.
In addition to understanding the situation of my Daming, the Jianzhou Jurchens also had treaty ports and border markets with my Daming, and through trade on both sides, they obtained a lot of strategic materials they needed, such as food and weapons. ”
