The war coat is splendid and mandarin duck-colored, and the swords and spears are like a forest of steeds and silent horses. God is afraid of the might of our troops, so how dare he succeed even under the clouds?
In Ji Town in the early spring, today the clouds are clearing and the rain is coming. The sky at the Military Supervisor's Campus is actually clear and cloudless. It seems that even the sky is afraid of the murderous intention of Ji Town's Supervisor, and not a single cloud dares to stay here.
On the parade stage of the university grounds, a military general stood proudly. The general was wearing a bright red python pattern and a square-collared sleeveless armor. He looked solemnly at the three thousand soldiers who were performing drills under the stage, his expression as deep as ever.
Regardless of whether the performance in front of the audience was exquisite or magnificent, the general watched it without any emotion, as if he had long been accustomed to it.
On both sides of the main seat of the military parade stand were eight generals. They were all different in height, short, fat, and thin, but they all had a worried look on their faces. During the military parade, they would secretly look at the general in the middle of the military parade stage from time to time.
Suddenly, a soldier who was not dressed for the night ran out diagonally. He looked anxious, but he did not dare to come on stage to disturb him. He just writhed anxiously under the stage.
The general in the middle of the parade glanced lightly. The generals beside him subconsciously stood up straight and stared at him. They only heard the general say: "Wu Weizhong, you temporarily conduct inspections for me."
A tall general with a helmet on his head came out in response, his voice sounded like gold and stone, he clasped his fists and said loudly: "Here! The last general takes orders!"
The python-robed general turned around calmly and walked down the parade platform, waving to Ye Buzuo. Ye Buzuo hurriedly ran over, knocked his head on the ground, handed out a letter with intact paint in his hand, and said hurriedly:
: "Commander, General Yang said that the situation in the capital is all contained in this letter, but he has no way of knowing the inside story. Please make your own decision after reading it."
The general in the python robe took the letter and looked at it. On the letter, it was written, "I would like to express my gratitude to Commander-in-Chief Qi," and at the foot of the letter, the inscription was "Yang Wentong, the soldier who holds the reins of Cheng'en."
In this world, the only person worthy of being called "Commander Qi" is Qi Jiguang. And Yang Wentong was a strong general who Qi Jiguang took under his command when he was recruiting troops in Yiwu. Later, because of his loyalty and bravery, he became the general of Jiumen Left City and defended the capital. Qi Jiguang had many
He has to be relied on to report the situation in Beijing at all times.
Qi Jiguang didn't say anything. He just opened the letter silently, took out the paper and read it up and down quickly. Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he raised his eyebrows. Finally, he squeezed the paper hard into his palm, frowned tightly, and sighed for a long time, saying:
"I already know that you have worked hard, so go down and receive your reward."
Qi Jiguang was very strict in managing the army. He didn't dare to say anything that night, so he kowtowed, thanked and left.
Holding the letter paper the size of a Buddhist bead in his hand, Qi Jiguang hesitated for a moment, and was about to turn around to give an order when he suddenly heard the soldiers in the campus singing in unison:
If all people are united, Mount Tai can be shaken.
Only loyalty and righteousness come, and the bullfight is full of anger.
The Lord will kiss me better than a parent.
If you violate military law, you will not be free.
The orders are clear and the rewards and punishments are communicated.
You are going through fire and water, do you dare to stay later?
Report to the emperor, and save the head of Guizhou.
Kill all the Japanese slaves and find a marquis.
…
Qi Jiguang frowned slightly, but did not say a word. He just waited on the spot. After a while, he saw the troops in the large campus neatly changing their formations and filing out. Wu Weizhong and other generals hurried towards Qi Jiguang.
But when they arrived in front of Qi Jiguang, they looked at each other. For a moment, no one dared to take the lead and speak. Wu Weizhong, who had just been ordered to conduct the military parade on his behalf, had no choice but to step out and say: "Commander, something happened?"
Qi Jiguang didn't answer.
Wu Weizhong was furious and explained to himself: "Commander, I know that the commander-in-chief never left the military parade midway except to learn about the enemy's situation. Today, the commander-in-chief... Therefore, the commander-in-chief made his own decision and ordered them to disband and return to camp first.
Get ready and standby. If there is a foul, please ask the commander to punish the next person."
Qi Jiguang asked calmly: "What did I just order you to do?"
Wu Weizhong replied: "The commander-in-chief ordered me to do the reading on my behalf."
"Are you done?" Qi Jiguang asked.
"This..." Wu Weizhong looked a little embarrassed and said, "It's done, but..."
"Okay." Qi Jiguang said: "Wu Weizhong inspects the regular spring exercises on behalf of me, and is rewarded with five taels of silver and a merit record. Do you have anything else to say?"
Wu Weizhong hesitated and said: "This... the routine spring exercises were not fully practiced. The project was deleted without authorization, so it was completed ahead of schedule."
Qi Jiguang remained expressionless, but asked: "Does this commander have the right to do this?"
Wu Weizhong was stunned for a moment and said: "Of course the commander has the right to do this."
Qi Jiguang nodded: "Very good, then, since I have ordered you to read on my behalf, what you order is my order, so why not do this?"
Wu Weizhong was stunned again and said hesitantly: "This... looks like..."
"There is nothing wrong with the fact that you gave the order as a proxy for the Spring Exercises, so you have merit." Qi Jiguang said, his tone turned cold: "But I have never ordered you to speculate on your superiors' intentions without permission. This has happened before."
Wu Weizhong didn't understand, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just knelt down and kowtowed: "I'll accept the punishment."
"Wu Weizhong presumed his superiors' intentions without authorization and behaved inappropriately. He will be punished by having to stay vigil at my gate for three days. Wu Weizhong, can you accept the punishment?"
"Place the mark and accept the punishment."
Qi Jiguang nodded, turned around and said to a young general: "Ji Gang, write down this punishment."
The Ji Gang he was talking about was not the guy named Ji Gang from the Zhengde Dynasty, but the official name of military judge.
The young general clasped his fists indifferently and lowered his head slightly: "The mark has been written down."
Qi Jiguang glanced at the generals who did not dare to speak out loud, and said calmly: "Follow me back to the festival hall to discuss matters."
When all the generals saw that something was indeed going on, they did not dare to neglect and agreed in unison.
The so-called festival hall is the White Tiger Festival Hall. This term is a general term. It generally refers to the place where the commander-in-chief of the leading army issues military orders. It can be the main tent of the camp or the lobby of the general military office. At this time
Qi Jiguang was not on the march, but of course he was referring to the main hall of the General Military Mansion.
The generals followed Qi Jiguang to the main hall of the General Military Mansion and sat down according to their rank. Qi Jiguang himself naturally occupied the top position. Seeing that the generals had already calmed down and were staring at him, waiting for instructions, he said: "A few days ago,
I have received a private letter from Mr. Gao Ge’s residence, and the person writing the letter is one of Mr. Gao Ge’s nephews...I believe some of you must have heard about this matter."
The generals did not dare to answer, but they all pricked up their ears.
"I know that you are curious. This Mr. Gao and I, Mr. Qi, are strangers to each other, and given their different paths in civil and military affairs, there is nothing that would require him to write a letter in person, right?" Qi Jiguang said, and smiled himself.
, but without waiting for anyone to answer, he said: "Actually, I was also very confused at the time, because in addition to the reasons just now, there is another point that you may not know, but I know... This senior officer
The young master is only seven or eight years old, the same age as the current prince."
