The reason why Yu Qiuping asked Emperor Wanli for a chance to meet this man was because he had been Yu Qiuping's idol when he was a child. And the Yu Qiu family's military training method that Yu Qiuping brought this time did not dare to teach it to Emperor Wanli rashly.
Instead, he planned to ask this expert to help revise and correct it first. Yu Qiuping had already sent someone to send the military code in advance. In addition, Yu Qiuping had been in the army for more than ten years and had accumulated countless problems and wanted to ask someone for advice.
And he is undoubtedly the best person to learn from.
Yu Qiuping knew that as a commoner, he would never be able to meet this person. Therefore, he specifically asked Emperor Wanli to issue a decree to introduce him to him so that he could have a chance to meet his idol.
In the early morning of December 1st, Yu Qiuping arrived at the agreed meeting place early. To his surprise, there was already someone waiting in the house - it was not yet dawn, and there was already a faint candlelight in the house. Yu Qiuping arrived
You arrived so early, just because you were worried about keeping that person waiting, but you didn’t want to end up being a step too late?
But when Yu Qiuping opened the door, he realized that he was wrong. The person waiting here was not the person he met, but a young man in his early twenties. The young man was young and energetic, with a stubble on his face.
, quite a heroic spirit. He folded his hands on his chest, stretched his feet on the stone table in front of him, and was rocking his chair back and forth, with a cynical smile on his face.
"A bit like Oda Nobunaga's temperament." Yu Qiuping couldn't help complaining in his heart.
"May I ask if this little brother is from the military sect and came here first to deal with it?" Yu Qiuping looked at him, looking like a standard playboy, and wondered if he belonged to the family of the person he wanted to meet.
Servants or heirs.
"Are you that commoner who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth and made an appointment with my master? Why do you think you are a general from the Japanese country? You really know how to put gold on your own face!" Unexpectedly, this young man was not old, but his tone was not small. When we met, he pointed at Yu Qiuping's
Nose cursed.
"Ah?" Yu Qiuping was scolded so much that he didn't even react - how did I offend him? He glanced at Honda Tadakatsu. Fortunately, he couldn't understand Chinese. Otherwise, he would have been convulsed when he heard this young man insulting him like this.
The knife is about to be used.
"Aren't you? Yu Qiu Hongye?" The young man saw that Yu Qiuping seemed to be pretending to be stupid. After rocking the chair back and forth, he jumped directly onto the stone table with a carp jump. This amazing waist and abdominal strength made Yu Qiuping a
Surprised. Then, he stood on the stone table, pointed at Yu Qiuping and said, "What kind of princes of the Japanese country do you claim to be? How many people can you gather in a bigger place? Give it back to the princes.
?Even if the emperor of Japan comes over, I will take them all away with hundreds of cavalry by myself!"
Seeing this young man's arrogance, even if Honda Tadakatsu didn't understand what he was talking about, he knew that he must have been rude to Yu Qiuping. In the eyes of a samurai who humiliates his subjects to death, sitting back and watching his master being insulted is simply too much.
It was more humiliating than death. Without saying a word, he grabbed the stone table that the young man was standing on, and threw the table and the young man to the side wall with all his strength. Yu Qiuping wanted to stop him, but the young man and the stone were thrown.
The tables have been thrown out.
Just before Yu Qiuping closed his eyes and couldn't bear to see the tragic scene, the young man suddenly twisted in the air, kicked his feet on the wall to relieve his force, and while landing steadily, he caught the
Going up there requires a stone table weighing hundreds of kilograms.
"Hey, you Japanese pirate," the young man glanced contemptuously at Honda Tadakatsu with his Tsukiyo hair, "you have some brute strength! Let me just say, someone who is hired as a bodyguard by us Han people must be
There needs to be something."
After that, the young man took a step forward and suddenly threw the big stone table back. The roar of the wind scared Yu Qiuping. However, Honda Tadakatsu did not change his expression and stood firm.
He opened his hand and took the stone table again.
"Okay, okay, don't throw it away
." Yu Qiuping was so frightened by Honda Tadakatsu and this young man. How could he throw a 100-pound stone table like a baseball? "Nanosuke, put this table down."
Since Yu Qiuping gave the order, Honda Tadakatsu would naturally not disobey him. However, the young man seemed to be getting excited and eager to challenge him again.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a rather majestic scolding sounded from behind everyone.
"Zimao, don't be rude to your guests."
Yu Qiuping turned around and saw that the person who came was a gentle middle-aged man in his forties. If he hadn't known who he was in advance, Yu Qiuping would never have thought that such a person could actually be that famous military commander.
, is the hero of the entire nation.
"Caomin rains and autumn leaves, see Qi Shuai."
·
The visitor was none other than Qi Jiguang.
"Mr. Yuqiu, you don't have to be polite. Youdao is the king of a small country and a minister of a big country. You are a Japanese prince, and I am just a warrior. You can just call me a commoner." However, Qi Jiguang waved his hand and said to him very politely.
Yu Qiuping said, "It seems that my nephew just offended my husband, and I hope he will atone for his sins."
"What is that, Master?" After seeing Qi Jiguang being very polite to Yu Qiuping, the young man shouted angrily, "That guy is the same as Wang Zhi! All his men are Japanese pirates! Master is so polite to him.
Well?"
"Wang Zhi committed crimes, colluded with the Japanese, disturbed the sea, and massacred the people. He was a great traitor and evil man. Mr. Yuqiu lived in a foreign country, never forgetting his homeland, and after he became successful, he gave back to the heaven. He was a loyal minister of the country. He is a loyal minister of the world.
No, how can we compare? Zimao, why don't you apologize to Mr. Yuqiu!" Qi Jiguang frowned when he saw that the young man had spoken rudely, and scolded him sternly. The young man who had been lawless just now suddenly shrank, and he was unwilling to say anything.
Zhu Yuqiu bowed in parallel.
"I asked you to read the military management method that Mr. Yuqiu sent a few days ago. Have you read it?" Qi Jiguang asked suspiciously in a low voice after seeing the young man's reaction. After a few words of prevarication, the young man said,
Realizing that I couldn't hide it, I had to answer honestly: "I just glanced at it a few times and didn't look carefully."
"Well, how can I live up to your father's expectations if I have no knowledge or skills?" Qi Jiguang shook his head after hearing this.
"I have read Master's "New Book of Jixiao" and "New Book of Military Preparation" many times. What are you doing reading those Japanese things?" the young man retorted with some dissatisfaction after hearing this.
"If you had seen Mr. Yuqiu's military management methods, you wouldn't have made such superficial remarks." Qi Jiguang sighed and said in a low voice with seriousness, "The most important thing for a military man is to be humble and progressive. If you remain stagnant, you will only lead to your own destruction.
"
"Master, what you mean is that that guy's writing is very good?" The young man was stunned when he heard this and looked at Yu Qiuping again.
"A genius in the world." Qi Jiguang turned around, not knowing whether he was preaching to the young man or praising Yu Qiuping, "The method of running an army is far superior to that of Qi."
"How dare you do this!" Yu Qiuping hurriedly bowed deeply when he saw this. How could he bear such praise from Qi Jiguang? "I also ask Commander Qi to point out the shortcomings in order to promote the whole army."
"I don't dare to point out shortcomings. I can only fix them." Qi Jiguang shook his head repeatedly and whispered in admiration, "Qi rarely praises others, but your army management skills really make my eyes shine.
. Sure enough, we should not stick to the pride of the superior kingdoms of China, as foreigners all have their own strengths. The previous French planes and artillery were imitated by the southern barbarians. Nowadays, the Japanese training methods are indeed worthy of being used as teachers."
"This is a truly powerful person. Whether it is his mind or his vision, it will be difficult for future generations to match." Yu Qiuping admired silently in his heart, "Qi Shuai's military life, whether it was Japanese pirates or northern captives, he was defeated, especially
Be able to learn with an open mind and be clear for future generations
The royal family and scholar-bureaucrats of the DPRK were defeated time and time again by foreigners, but they were still immersed in the dream of the Celestial Empire and refused to change. It is really pedantic and stupid."
"Sir, please entrust your military management methods to Qi. Qi will definitely work hard to revise them and compile them into codes and regulations suitable for the training of our entire army, and promote them throughout the country. If this is done, our army's combat strength will be greatly improved."
It will not be until the time of Taizu." Qi Jiguang praised Yu Qiuping again with emotion, "Sir, he cares about the country, and Qi is grateful."
Yu Qiuping's military training methods, like Ikeda Hengxing, Mori Katsunari, and the Maeda Toshi family's good brothers have all seen it, and even Oda Nobunaga asked about it, but no one has ever valued it as much as Qi Jiguang. Yu Qiuping couldn't help but feel a sense of
The joy of finding and appreciating the music may be common in the world, but not in Bole. Only people like Qi Jiguang, who can train the Qi family army, a powerful army in the world, can truly realize the importance of this set of military management methods from later generations.
"Shuai Qi is overrated. He's just a little bit of a trick." In front of Qi Jiguang, Yu Qiuping didn't dare to take advantage of him because he knew how strong the man in front of him was. "I have been in the army for more than ten years and have accumulated many problems in the military.
I want to ask Qi Shuai for advice, and I hope Qi Shuai can give me some advice." Yu Qiuping said, and motioned to Mori Ranmaru to bring over the dozens of battlefield diagrams he had prepared in advance, depicting the deployment of the two armies and the topography.
These were some of the large-scale battles that Yu Qiuping had encountered in the past ten years, and they were also the dozen or so battles that he had made into war chess games. He planned to learn from Qi Jiguang's experience and learn the true method of command.
"Sir, may I ask, Qi must tell you everything he knows."
·
Yu Qiuping and Qi Jiguang talked about it from early morning until sunset, and they simply ate all three meals in the room. Finally, they simply lit candles and oil lamps and discussed all night long. Listening to Qi Jiguang's thorough analysis of past battles and Yu Qiuping's command mistakes
pointed out, Yu Qiuping only felt that the part of his heart about the command of the battle formation was suddenly enlightened, and many of the questions that had troubled him for many years were answered. Even with Qi Jiguang's thinking, even the Battle of Sanri Town, which he had previously felt extremely hopeless, could not be solved.
All have great potential.
Unknowingly, the sky was getting brighter. Haotani Honoko, Mori Ranmaru, and Asahina Matsuchiyo were all fast asleep nearby, while Honda Tadakatsu, Mori Kolong, and Qi Jiguang's bodyguards were standing meticulously outside the door.
.Only the young man was a little strange. He pretended to be sleeping even though he was not sleeping, but kept looking at Yu Qiuping's battlefield map.
"It's getting late, Qi needs to go back to deal with military affairs. Soldiers, important matters of the country, don't dare to neglect." Qi Jiguang looked at the sky and stood up with regret, "The military affairs will be busy next, I'm afraid I won't have time to talk to you.
Let’s chat again, sir.”
"It doesn't matter, I'm grateful to you for your advice from Commander Qi." Yu Qiuping shook his head and said that Qi Jiguang didn't need to care, "If my meager strength can really be of benefit to the Heavenly Army's combat power, I'll be deeply grateful to you."
Feeling honored.”
"I will definitely do it, sir, don't worry." Qi Jiguang nodded firmly towards Yu Qiuping, and at the same time said to the young man beside him, "Zimao, you go back to your house right now and tell me all my bad works and battle examples over the years.
I took all the analysis charts and gave them to Mr. Yuqiu as a parting gift."
"Yes." The young man stood up immediately after hearing this and bowed slightly to Yu Qiuping, as if he was apologizing for what happened yesterday. However, his face still had that arrogance and unruly genius.
"Who is this?" Yu Qiuping watched the young man leave and asked Qi Jiguang in a low voice.
