Qi Jiguang's sketch was a real sketch. But Gao Qingshi quickly saw that the line he drew at the top of the paper was the Ming Dynasty's Great Wall defense line, and the several large and small lines drawn south of that line
Different circles include some cities such as Jizhou and Yongpingfu.
Suddenly, Qi Jiguang drew a line from the circle in Jizhou City and went all the way to the right through several small circles to Yongping Mansion. From Yongping Mansion, he continued to the right and connected to Shanhaiguan. [Wufeng Note: I am here personally.
I recommend a set of maps, which is a series of maps of the Ming Dynasty drawn by an online name: "Ningnan Zuohou". This set of maps has detailed classifications, including the Dusi Station map. The entire Ming Dynasty administrative map series is very detailed. I personally like it very much.

At this time, Gao Pangshi suddenly discovered that Kaiping Town was not on this line. Its location was a little lower than this line. Geographically speaking, it was about dozens of miles south.
Qi Jiguang saw the surprise in Gao Pangshi's eyes, and then smiled with satisfaction: "Has Shidu Gao figured it out? From Jizhou to Shanhaiguan, in terms of the shortest distance, this road only needs to pass through Yutian County and Fengrun County.
Yongping Prefecture, Funing County, and Kaiping Town are located a little southeast of Fengrun County... But the problem lies here. The distance between Fengrun County and Yongping Prefecture is the farthest between the counties along this road.
Station, but Kaiping is not on this line!"
Gao Pragmatic immediately added: "In other words, it is necessary to build a new county or military town between Fengrun County and Yongping Prefecture. Because Kaiping is not at this best fitting point, it can be moved to the northeast as a whole.
Dozens of miles!”
Qi Jiguang laughed with satisfaction and said: "Yes, Gao Shidu's eyes are as bright as a torch - according to my estimation, we need to move the defense about seventy miles northeast."
Of course Qi Jiguang had not measured the distance, but his "estimate" was very accurate, because the line he just mentioned was almost a section of the route that the Beijing-Harbin Expressway passed through in later generations, and Kaiping was the part of Tangshan in later generations. From Kaiping to
The Beijing-Harbin Expressway is about halfway between Fengrun County and Luanhe County, probably less than thirty-seven kilometers, which is about seventy miles according to Qi Jiguang.
It seems that the reason why he is so famous is that he is really capable. Not to mention training and fighting, if he is familiar with his defense zone to this extent, shouldn't he be victorious in every battle?
Gao pragmatic stared at the "best position" and his mind was spinning: How can we get the Kaiping Zhongtun guards to move their defense there?
Qi Jiguang laughed at this time: "Gao Shidu, stop reading."
Gao Pragmatic was stunned for a moment and looked at Qi Jiguang with an inquiring look.
"Let Qi handle this matter." Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "However, I also hope that when the time comes, Mr. Gao Ge will speak a fair word for Qi in court."
Gao pragmatism suddenly understood. Qi Jiguang had long felt that the location of Kaiping Town was not good enough. He might have hoped that it would be moved to the northeast to make up for the missing point on Yifeng Post Road, but the court did not have any spare money.
, the imperial court would probably refuse to work hard for this matter.
But things are different now. Gao Pragmatic took the initiative to buy land near Kaiping. Since Kaiping is full of military farmland, although most of it is cheap wasteland, there are still some fields after all. In this way, Qi Jiguang, as the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, can
The imperial court said that it would be better to sell the military garrison land here, and the money from the sale of the land would be used to move the garrison in Kaipingzhong and plug the only loophole in this post road.
The biggest advantage of his method is that it is obviously the same thing. The imperial court takes the initiative to sell the military garrison land for relocation and is highly pragmatic and forcefully buys the military garrison land for mining. Obviously the former is a normal operation, while the latter may be ruined by the world.
Looked sideways.
Qi Jiguang killed two birds with one stone, wonderful!
According to his method, he just shifted the initiative. As a result, not only was there no turmoil, but the construction of transportation channels and defense strongholds along the post road was also done, and Gao Pragmatic wanted to buy Kaiping to mine and set up a factory.
It’s done!
This is not killing two birds with one stone, this is killing three birds with one stone!
Gao pragmatic asked decisively: "What Governor Qi means is that you ask the imperial court for permission to move the Kaiping Zhongtun garrison?"
"Of course." Qi Jiguang nodded.
Gao pragmatic thought for a while and asked: "How do you say the cost? Did you just say that I want to buy land from the beginning?"
Qi Jiguang was stunned for a moment and asked: "Isn't it possible?"
Gao Pingshi pondered: "It's not about whether it works or not, it's just that in this way, the cooperation between our two sides...will it be too obvious? At the meeting between the government and the public, if someone wants to make a fuss here..."
Qi Jiguang was surprised and thought to himself: Is this really a child who is less than ten years old? How come he has to think out his retreat before everything, which is quite similar to what is said in the military books: "Unexpect victory, anticipate defeat"? Could this be the Gao family's?
Family background, officialdom experience? However, Mr. Gao Ge doesn’t seem to be that way!
Of course, Gao Gong was a Jinshi, a Hanlin scholar, and later an imperial master. For him, as long as Long Qing was in power, there was no need to expect defeat. But what about Gao Gong? In his previous life, he was just a mere secretary.
In government agencies, the ability to survive is to observe people's actions and act reliably. This has become a habit.
In this life, he is the only person who knows that Long Qing's birthday is not long, and he is also the only person who knows that Gao Gong is "faithful" at the turn of Long and Wan. Although he will try his best to help Gao Gong survive this disaster, in case of failure,
Of course, you have to wipe the bottom of your butt clean first, otherwise you will wait for Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao to come and settle the matter? Even if Zhang Juzheng still wants to show his face, it will not force the entire Gao family to death, but Feng Bao
In history, the case of Minister Wang was brought up in order to frame Gao Gong, who had already retired from office. This "master" really has no shame at all! Could Gao Pragmatic be careless?
"So, what does Yi Gao Shidu mean?" Qi Jiguang originally thought that if Gao Gong agreed, this matter would basically be easy to handle. Zhang Juzheng was actually easy to talk to, so he wrote a letter to him and told him about the military situation.
To tell the truth, he shouldn't object - on this point, Qi Jiguang believes in Zhang Juzheng. But now Gao Pragmatic doesn't want to bear the rumors, so Qi Jiguang has no good way, after all, he himself has been surrounded by rumors.
If you have the ability to solve this rumor problem, why do you do this?
Gao pragmatic thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "There is a way."
Qi Jiguang looked at him in surprise and asked, "What's the plan?"
Gao pragmatic narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the scenery outside the tower, and said slowly: "Auction."
"Auction?" Qi Jiguang was stunned for a moment: "What is an auction?"
