Chapter 57 Qi Family Army

Dad Bangzi, who was confused about the situation, didn't want to be greeted by anyone else. He sat down and poured wine into the wine bowl. He urged Ding Yunyi to drink. He had already taken a big sip in a hurry.

Dad Bangzi likes to brag, and once he starts bragging, he has no boundaries.

It was the first time that Ding Yunyi chatted with Bangzi's father. It sounded new to him, but in the ears of sisters Axi, his bullshit had already been recited by heart.

Ah Hu yawned when he heard this, took a few mouthfuls of food, stretched himself and said that he was going to bed. After that, he stood up and left.

Ah Xi pursed her lips and snickered. From time to time, she interrupted Bangzi Daddy: "You just told Brother Ding about this."

Bangzi's father was not embarrassed and quickly moved to another topic to continue talking.

Half the jar of wine was drunk in a blink of an eye, but Bangzi Daddy had no intention of finishing. He continued to blow for a while, and suddenly said to Ah Xi: "Ah Xi, I have two fish at home that I just caught today. You

Go and cook it and eat it."

Ah Xi said "Yes", stood up and walked out.

Dad Bangzi took a sip of wine: "President Ding showed off his might a few days ago and killed Oniwangmaru. That was a big deal. During the Jiajing Dynasty, the Japanese pirates were in turmoil. Marshal Qi was also like this. He killed the Japanese pirates so much that they dared not face him.

I know that..."

The "Commander Qi" he mentioned was Qi Jiguang, and Ding Yunyi couldn't help but be fascinated.

Dad Bangzi put down his wine bowl and wiped his mouth: "I won't say anything else. In the 41st year of Jiajing, Japanese pirates harassed our coast in Fujian and caused serious harm. In autumn, Putian was seriously ravaged by Japanese pirates, and the governor of Fujian reported to the imperial court.

Marshal Qi was ordered to lead more than 6,000 elite troops to Fujian to quell the Japanese. After the Qi army won a great victory at Hengyu Island in Ningde, they advanced southward and defeated the Niutian Japanese pirate stronghold in Fuqing. At that time, some Japanese pirates gathered in Putian Lindun and relied on rivers and ditches to build nests.

.In the early morning of September 14th, the Qi Jiajun attacked the Japanese pirates' Lindun base camp with lightning speed. The officers and soldiers swam forward and fought bravely to kill the enemy. Zhang Jian's troops stationed at Ninghai Bridge and the Qi Jiajun attacked from front to back, and fought hand-to-hand with the Japanese pirates in street battles.

.The Qi army defeated dozens of fortresses and wiped out more than 3,000 enemies. The remnants of the Japanese pirates retreated in panic to Pinghai and then escaped out to sea. Lin Dun's victory against the Japanese was that great."

This is what happened in Fujian. Ding Yunyi listened attentively, and Bangzi dad said again:

"In November, the Japanese pirates heard that Marshal Qi had returned to Zhejiang and reunited with the remaining troops to invade Fujian. Funing, Zhenghe, and Xinghua were lost one after another. After they captured Xinghua Fucheng, they massacred and committed all kinds of evil. Corpses were everywhere inside and outside Fucheng. It was too horrible to see. Jiajing IV

In the first month of the twelfth year, the Japanese pirates withdrew from the city and gathered in Pinghaiwei and Dongqiao Xucuo. Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, urgently wrote to the court, requesting that Marshal Qi be summoned back to the army for rescue. After Marshal Qi led his army to Fujian, he gathered the three camps of Yu Dayou and Liu Xian.

They encircled Xu Cuowochao and pursued the victory, annihilating the main force of the enemy and achieving a great victory at Pinghaiwei. Later, Marshal Qi sent his troops south to rescue Xianyou. The Qi army fought in eighteen formations in a row, wiping out more than a thousand enemies. Then they were completely wiped out at the foot of Dafu Mountain.

Five hundred remaining bandits, complete victory."

Speaking of this, Dad Bangzi's voice suddenly rose: "This is the famous 'Five Hundred Washings' and 'Eighteen Battles' in Fujian!"

Ding Yunyi was shocked and fascinated by what he heard. He wished he could go back to that era and follow Qi Jiguang to kill enemies and thieves.

"Does Mr. Ding know why the Qi army can win every battle?" Bangzi's father asked thoughtfully.

Ding Yunyi thought for a moment: "Strict discipline and well-trained soldiers..."

"It's true that the discipline is strict. Anyone who disturbs the people during the Qi's army will be beheaded in public." Bangzi dad said: "But how strict is it? It's so strict that it's a bit cruel. The military law of the Qi's army stipulates that if the battle is ineffective and the battle is defeated,

If the main general dies in battle, all the subordinate generals will be beheaded; if the partial general dies in battle, all the commanders under him will be beheaded; if the commander Qian dies in battle, all the commanders under him will be beheaded; if the commander in chief 100 dies in battle, all the banner commanders under him will be beheaded; if the banner commander dies in battle, all the captains under him will be beheaded

, the captain died in the battle, but the soldiers under his command were not killed, and all ten soldiers were beheaded."

Ding Yunyi nodded slightly.

Perhaps military law is indeed a bit cruel, but it is under this strict military law that an invincible Qi family army was forged.

Suddenly I felt a little strange, Bangzi's dad was just a fisherman, how could he know so much about Qi Jiajun?

Dad Bangzi is sixty-two years old this year. When Qi Jiguang died, he was just a boy in his teens.

"One more time, the weapons of the Qi family army are unparalleled in the world!" When talking about the Qi family army, Bangzi's father was very excited: "The Qi family army has everything from Shenwei general cannons, Folan machine guns, large-caliber cannons, blunderbuss, Japanese knives, iron armor, etc.

The advanced level of firearms is even close to that of Kyoto's Shenji Camp. With such weapons and such soldiers, how can we not be victorious in every battle?"

Having said this, Dad Bangzi drank the remaining wine in the bowl: "Not only that, Marshal Qi is also an architectural genius. Not to mention the Great Wall he built, the hollow enemy tower designed and built by the Marshal himself is simply amazing.

Mr. Ding, come and see!"

As he spoke, he raised the oil lamp and asked Ding Yunyi to sit on the ground. Then he brought a stone and started drawing on the ground. After drawing a stick of incense, a simple enemy tower was drawn.

Bangzi dad pointed at the picture and said:

"The so-called hollow enemy tower is three to four feet high, with a surrounding width of twelve feet, seventeen to eighty feet. Where it rushes, it takes tens of steps or a hundred steps, and when it slows down, it takes four or fifty steps, or

One platform is made up of two hundred steps. The two platforms correspond to each other, and the left and right sides support each other and stand on the wall. The method of building the platform is to build a base that is level with the side walls. The outside is one foot, four, and more than five feet, with an open space in the middle, and arrow windows on all sides.

Build towers and sculls, surround them with crenels, guard soldiers inside, and fire artillery down to attack the enemy from outside. The enemy's arrows cannot reach them, and the enemy's cavalry dare not approach. Each station has a chief officer, who is responsible for dispatching attacks...

"

Ding Yunyi was completely attracted, and Dad Bangzi said carefully: "It was built like this when Marshal Qi was the commander-in-chief of Jizhen. The wall platform is a platform built along the wall. Ordnance, food and grass can be placed on it, and it can also assist the enemy in attacking incoming invaders.

The beacon towers cooperate closely with the enemy towers to form a certain beacon transmission route. When encountering the enemy, they raise beacons, blast smoke and fire cannons, quickly conveying the situation to the Jizhen defense line. The castles built at the passes are used to guard troops during war.

When you go to the city to fight, you can set up checkpoints at the city gate to check people passing by."

Speaking of this, he gave Ding Yunyi a meaningful look and said:

"A few days ago, Mr. Ding rebuilt Fenggui City. If we build it like this, it will be very difficult to capture Penghu even though our enemy is ten times more numerous. It's a pity that Mr. Ding had so little money at that time.

But it’s very limited.”

Ding Yunyi stood up suddenly and stared at Bangzi's father: "Who are you?"
