On December 16th of the first year of the first year, Qi Jiguang, the chief military officer of Ji Town, summoned Zhang Chen, the deputy chief of the army, and Wang Yi'e, the deputy envoy of the assistant military preparations, to the general military office. They showed Liu Yingjie, the governor of Ji Liao, and ordered: "The Ministry of War asked this town to bring three soldiers.
Thousands of soldiers and horses came to the palace and were inspected. This emperor's favor has brought glory to our Ji Town. Zhang Chen went to select the soldiers and horses, and Wang Yi'e prepared to support them and set off tomorrow."
Zhang Chen was less than forty years old at this time. He was a guard from Yulin, Shaanxi Province, and was born in the army. He was agile and capable, and liked to attack difficult situations. Although he could read, he did not like reading. After Qi Jiguang arrived in Jizhen, he liked him very much and ordered him to study.
After teaching him his own "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Records of Military Training", Zhang Chen was able to take charge of his own affairs.
At this time, Zhang Chen was very envious when he heard that Qi Jiguang led his troops to Beijing to meet the saint. He congratulated Qi Jiguang and said: "As a military general, I can meet the beauty of heaven. I envy you all. Congratulations to Junmen!" Wang Yi'e was beside him,
Congratulations too.
Qi Jiguang was not arrogant on his face, but he was happy in his heart. He succeeded in fighting against the Japanese and when the Qi family's army was powerful in the world, Yan Song and his son showed their merits in front of Jiajing and almost got the honor of meeting the emperor.
Unexpectedly, although Jiajing was moved at the time, he took too many pills and became confused, and then forgot about it. Qi Jiguang didn't have the face to ask Yan Song to remind him again in front of the emperor, leaving him with a regret.
Later, Xu Jie came to the stage, followed by Gao Gong. Without the protection of Zhang Juzheng, it would have been good if the two of them did not deal with Qi Jiguang, but how could they promote him? Qi Jiguang thought he would never enter the palace again in his life.
I didn't expect that this year, after fucking Dong Huli, I would be able to meet the saint. Although Wanli was the grandson of Emperor Jiajing, Qi Jiguang felt the same in his heart at this time.
He received a letter from Zhang Juzheng and knew very well about his mission to the capital. He also knew that his benefactor, Zhu Zheng, had tried his best. Otherwise, he, the commander-in-chief, controlled the throat of the capital and had a border of more than 1,500 miles. How could the imperial court dare to do so?
Tweaking the general? For his mission to the capital, it’s not like Xuanfu didn’t have elite soldiers.
After pondering for a while, he said: "The length of my stay in Beijing this time is uncertain, and I may not be able to come back until spring." He told the two of them: "Although Dong Huli was defeated, the Hulu gathered and dispersed very quickly, so we must be prepared for them to come as early as spring."
Knocking off."
Although the two men obeyed Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang was worried and warned: "Dong Kuli has lost his courage and may not be able to come. His nephew Dong Tuzi may seize his military power and lead people into the bandits. Don't ignore it!" Zhang Chen and Zhang Chen
Wang Yi'e responded.
After arranging things, Qi Jiguang set off from Ji Town the next day with 3,000 elite troops, 50 chariots, 1,000 horses, and a certain amount of food and baggage, heading for the capital.
Jizhen was only more than 200 miles away from the capital, so Qi Jiguang was not in a hurry and walked slowly, practicing his troops as he walked. Sure enough, when he was approaching the capital on the fifth day, a close aide of Yang Bing, the minister of military affairs in the capital camp, arrived at night with gifts.
The visitor was wearing ordinary clothes and his identity could not be identified. He was escorted by the outpost sent by Qi Jiguang with low eyebrows and entered Qi Jiguang's military tent. Without mentioning the courtesy when he entered, he first presented Yang Bing's letter and gift list.
Yang Bing said nothing in the letter except greetings. The letter had the earl's seal, which was only used to prove the identity of the visitor. Qi Jiguang read the letter and the gift list, and said with a half-smile on his face: "Uncle Zhangwu
You're welcome, Qi is just a man who kills Han people, how can he call me brother and uncle? We are strangers to each other, let alone such a generous gift."
The visitor said: "Qi Jun's family is elegant and suave, and he is both civil and military. My uncle has admired him for a long time. It is an honor to send the young man here to congratulate Xi Jun's family."
When he was young, Qi Jiguang was fond of reading. He could really be called "both civil and military", and he was free and easy. Before getting married, he was also a romantic squad leader full of red sleeves and recruits. Later, after serving in the army for many years, he became strong and strong, and his reputation for being henpecked spread throughout the world.
, the four words "romantic and suave" are not relevant at all.
Seeing that the visitor was looking directly at the soldiers in his tent, Qi Jiguang knew that he had something embarrassing to say, so he waved his hand and stepped back.
The visitor smiled and said, "Uncle, with my knowledge of the military, I should know the purpose of my visit." After saying that, he squinted at the gift list in Qi Jiguang's hand.
Qi Jiguang shook the gift slip in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm ashamed to accept such a generous gift. You'd better make it clearer."
The visitor said: "The military gate should know that in this review of the Beijing camp, soldiers from the Beijing camp and the military gate will be reviewed together. My uncle said that Qi Junmen's military training is the best in the world. How can the Beijing camp dare to compete with the bright moon in the light of an insect?
?" First, he patted Qi Jiguang on the back.
Seeing that Qi Jiguang did not retreat humbly, the visitor laughed and said: "But comparing the two sides, the Beijing camp is too bad, and the emperor's appearance is not good. He must think that the frontier army is powerful, and the situation of 'using the middle to defend the outside' is reversed. When the time comes, we will
When Wuzong was brought up, the 'four outsiders' came, but they delayed national affairs."
He bent down and saluted: "Please also use some tricks during the military review to make the Beijing camp prosperous. I will be very kind to you!"
What he said was reasonable and reasonable. Although he asked Qi Jiguang to be merciful, it was a bit grand in the name of national justice. Qi Jiguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "But in front of my uncle? There is nothing wrong with these words.
But I can’t tell.”
The visitor straightened up and smiled awkwardly, with red on his dark face, and said with a smile: "I know I can't hide it from Qi Junmen, so I'm just kidding!"
When Qi Jiguang saw that Yang Bing had arrived in person, he hurriedly greeted him. Yang Bing retreated extremely humbly, but in the end Qi Jiguang couldn't compete with him. The two of them sat in the tent with the east and west facing each other.
Yang Bing's words were sincere, and he still used the same rhetoric as before, to persuade Qi Jiguang to falsify during the review.
Qi Jiguang agreed wholeheartedly, and then asked: "There is something unclear about Yuan Jing. My uncle has the world certificate in his hand, and he is rich and noble with the country. Why do you want to get this brown candy from Jingying?"
Yang Bing sighed and said: "To be honest with Yuan Jing, although the earl is glamorous, he is just a showman. There are many people like me in the dynasty who are not even one hundred but eighty. And in order to maintain dignity, I sit on the table and see myself falling."
"It happened that King Dingxiang was seriously ill. I knew that there was something going on in the capital camp, so I took on such an errand. Secondly, there are a lot of uncles in the capital camp, and they are all inextricably linked to the princes.
They are also the Austrian aid from the DPRK. Besides, I, Yang Bing, also have some ambitions. If these soldiers train well, I will think of ways to contribute to the country in the future."
What he said was true. First, he put himself in the position of a corrupt official to avoid Qi Jiguang's embarrassment in accepting the gift. Secondly, he showed off his muscles to Qi Jiguang and was slightly threatening. Finally, he showed a little bit of his ambitions and let him introduce himself as a nobleman.
mid-thigh.
Seeing that Qi Jiguang's face was indeed full of enthusiasm, Yang Bingxin said that it was done. After chatting for a few words, he said: "A Duwu is outside the camp, so I don't care what to do. I have to go back, otherwise I will be exposed."
, but it’s not beautiful.”
Qi Jiguang handed him over and sent him out of the tent. Uncle Zhangwu brought a few caring soldiers, surrounded him, mounted his horse, and walked along the official road.
Qi Jiguang's soldiers on his left and right carried the five large wooden boxes into the tent with noisy sounds. When Qi Jiguang opened the boxes and looked at them, he found that they were not official silver, but had melted official silver into fist-sized silver balls. There were no marks on them. The total amount was estimated.
There is no less than 80,000 taels.
Qi Jiguang secretly praised Uncle Zhang Wu for his ability to do things, and thought: "I, Qi Jiguang, haven't learned how to pretend to be a soldier in half my life, but if you don't do things for money, what can you stupid monkeys who have fallen into the hands of the benefactor do to me?"
