With the violent burning of charcoal fire in the fire wall, the temperature in the house rose significantly.

Lin Qingran gently put down the teacup, but smiled and kept it a secret. He came to the sand table and asked lightly: "Look at this sand table, can you tell where the terrain is?"

After all, this is the Ministry of War. As the Minister of War, the tea hall, there are also several sand tables placed, using sand to build different terrain and insert various colors of flags as marks.

Qi Jiguang attached great importance to this meeting. He followed Lin Xuran to the sand table and immediately looked at the sand table with twelve points. Then he looked up at Lin Xuran and said, "Gei Master, this should be the sand table at Gubeikou to the west of Jizhou!"

Because he was born in a hereditary family of hundreds of households, he has been familiar with military affairs since he was a child and has studied military maps a lot. Although he did not have a resume working in the Jiubian, he recognized the terrain at a glance.

"Not bad!" Lin Qingran nodded slightly, then pointed to a place and said seriously: "If the Mongolian cavalry invaded Jizhou in large numbers, how do you think you should defend?"

Wei Ji also did his homework in advance and said eruditely: "The defense line of Jizhou is two thousand miles long, but there are many rivers in the territory, which makes the fortress not as closely connected as other border towns. Although there are more than 100,000 soldiers on the list, the front line is too long and the fortress is low, which makes the soldiers seem very dispersed. As far as Bei Zhi knows, whenever Mongolian cavalry gathers troops and invades, we are scattered soldiers and guard them, and can only protect ourselves according to the city. Only when reinforcements from other towns come will they have the power to fight." After a pause, he raised his head and looked at Lin Yanran and said seriously: "Hui Zhi thought that the most urgent task is to reorganize a mobile camp dominated by cavalry. This move can not only support the cities to strengthen defense, but also intimidate the Mongolian cavalry to not dare to go deeper, but also protect Jizhou without any mistakes!"

After Zhao Huan brought the people over, he did not rush to leave, but stood at the door waiting for the teacher's instructions. Now when he heard Qi Jiguang's tactical planning, he couldn't help but look at General Qi, who was famous here, which coincided with his mentor's strategic intentions.

"Just just now, Ge Lao Xu was thinking about how to reduce the military expenditure of the Nine Borders. This matter may not be done for the time being!" Lin Weiran shook his head bitterly when he heard Qi Jiguang's proposal.

In fact, Altan's problem has never reached the height of a country's destruction, and the key to solving the problem has always been the Ming Dynasty itself.

If it weren't for this emperor who spent the national treasury on Taoist construction and the inheritance royal family, if it weren't for the huge burden of vassals and rice, and there were countless officials and gentry who tried every means to evade taxes, how could the Ming Dynasty be constrained everywhere?

It is precisely because these stubborn diseases are not effectively solved that Altan's problem becomes more and more serious, and the border troops are always in a passive situation of being beaten.

When Qi Jiguang heard that the cabinet had such an attitude, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As a veteran in the fight against the Japanese, he had a deeper understanding of the fight against the Japanese in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and knew that an important factor in the fight against the Japanese was that the court was willing to spend money.

It was through the recruitment of the wealthy families in Jiangnan that they had the money to recruit the people to train soldiers. They also invited warlike wolves from Guangxi and organized an army that could fight head-on by Japanese pirates.

Qi Jiguang knew that these things were not something he could decide, and he seemed to be enlightened and asked, "This time, Master Ge asked me to bring the Qi family army and two thousand Zhejiang soldiers. Does this move mean that I and my subordinates want to act as mobile camps in Jizhou?"

"No, your Qi family army is not a cavalry, and it cannot serve as a mobile camp at all! During my inspection of Jiubian, I found that the morale of many soldiers on Jiubian was exhausted in the border defense, so I need your Qi family army to set an example to stimulate their fighting spirit. The initial plan was to let you come here to train troops, but the north side would not give me so much time. The most urgent thing is to lead the Qi family army to fight a defensive battle!" Lin Yanran said openly.

Qi Jiguang's heart moved slightly and immediately asked, "Will the Tartars invade in the near future?"

"Yes, Altan has been busy building a city and proclaiming himself emperor a few days ago. Now that the matter is over, according to the latest information I have obtained, I will come to invade at the latest at the beginning of next year!" Lin Qingran faintly revealed a military situation, and then pointed to the sand table and asked seriously: "General Qi, Jizhou has no mobile camp now. If you were to arrange the defense, how would you face the Mongolian army?"

"Geor, what level do you want to do?" Qi Jiguang did not rush to answer this question, but looked firmly at Lin Qingran and asked.

Lin Qingran smiled knowingly and immediately made a strategic request: "Altan must be coming in a fierce manner this time. I want you to hold the Mongolian cavalry south even without reinforcements, and not let the Mongolian army approach Beijing!"

Although Beijing is solid and Altan actually went deep into the tiger's den when he came to Beijing, things really came to this point. Not to mention the current emperor's terrified reaction, the officials and censors must have jumped in a hurry.

Even if he was the fourth-ranked cabinet master of the current dynasty, he would face great pressure and even face impeachment from a large number of censors, and Xu Jie would definitely point the finger at him as soon as possible.

The same is true. This approach to Beijing is a very important political bottom line, and Altan must not have the opportunity to attack Huanglong.

"I wonder if Master, how many cavalry are there in Xuanfu at the moment?" Qi Jiguang's brow frowned immediately, and after thinking for a moment, he asked seriously.

Lin Junran was about the same height as Qi Jiguang, but without Qi Jiguang's killing aura, he turned around and returned to the hall to sit down, and Qi Jiguang also sat down carefully with him.

Lin Qingran took the hot tea that Lin Fu changed, took a sip, and then responded helplessly: "There are not many cavalry in Jizhou, and there are very few that can be used, and there are even fewer good horses. At most, thousands of cavalry can be gathered!"

The border troops have become seriously corrupt. Not only are the soldiers suffering from problems such as the old, weak, sick and disabled, but the horse has become a tool for some generals to make money. Therefore, the horse data on paper is of no use at all.

"In this way, if Ji Liao wants to hold the Mongolian army south, he can only use the tactics of chariot formation, so that he can have the power to fight field with the Mongolian cavalry!" Qi Jiguang pondered for a moment and said with a decisive and decisive manner.

Lin Weiran heard that it was a chariot formation and knew that this time he was really using the right person. However, he held the tea lid and poured tea water lightly. He asked calmly: "How to use the method of forming a chariot formation to drag the Mongolian cavalry?"
