Chapter 660 Timing Insight
"Qi Jiguang's military training ability is really good. If you give him another month, these [-] elite soldiers should be formed!"

The few people in the distance are Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Li Wenzhong and Yang Shiqi.

The speaker was Li Wenzhong.

When Dangtu and Jurong were successively attacked by Daxia soldiers and horses, they stayed in Jinling and did nothing but transport grain and grass to the two camps.

In addition to the preparation of food and supplies, Zhu Yuanzhang, while paying attention to the movements of the Song Army and Daxia, appointed Qi Jiguang as the right governor of the five armies' governor's office, specializing in training troops in Jinling.

Daming couldn't train [-] special elite soldiers at one time like Daxia. The soldiers and horses trained by Qi Jiguang were weaker than the white-eared elite soldiers and the white-robed army.

But it is much higher than ordinary soldiers.

This is a problem caused by limited resources.

Qi Jiguang is a top famous general in history who wrote a book about how to train troops and how to command an army.

Especially in terms of military training, even Han Xin, the soldier fairy who claims to have more is better, can't compare with him in this aspect.

The complete Qi family army belongs to the top special arms.

In the south, he set a record of destroying tens of thousands of Japanese pirates, but lost less than ten people himself. Later, he was transferred to the north and guarded Jiliao for more than ten years. The northern Tartars did not dare to invade south.

The combat power of this army was even higher than that of the hundred-fighter soldiers of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, the Qi family army was too powerful and was feared by the emperor and civil officials, so it could only be kept at a certain number and could not be expanded.

Later, because of the problem of military pay, some of them were killed by civilian officials, and most of the remaining troops were forced to dismiss.

Such a powerful army can compete with any special arms at its peak.

However, at this time, Daming's resources were insufficient, and no matter how powerful Qi Jiguang was, the soldiers and horses he trained were all inferior products, unable to reach the peak they should be.

"Well, these soldiers seem to be cheering up, Qi Jiguang did a good job, we didn't misunderstand the person!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also showed a smile on his face.

After the shackles of the world were broken, many civil and military personnel from the Ming Dynasty came to join them, including Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou.

Zhu Yuanzhang read the history of the Ming Dynasty in person, and was almost blown away by anger at that time, but because of this, he had a deep memory of some famous officials and generals recorded in the history books.

Especially Qi Jiguang, he has long been thinking about it.

Qi Jiguang's ancestor, Qi Xiang, was born as a soldier of Zhu Yuanzhang, and later died in battle when he attacked Yunnan. He inherited the official title of General Mingwei. It can be said that Qi Jiguang has received Minglu from his ancestors to himself.

In the original world, Qi Jiguang was implicated by Zhang Juzheng and was demoted in his later years, but the ups and downs of the officialdom were normal, and he was not dismissed from his post and exiled, and when he came, he was not in his old age.

It is impossible to forget the favors of Ming Dynasty that have been received from generation to generation just because he was reviled in his later years.

After the arrival, it is very normal for Qi Jiguang to continue to serve Daming.

And Zhu Yuanzhang also valued him very much.The ancestor was born in Dingyuan, he was a descendant of Huaixi, he was also a top famous general with a long history, and he has always been loyal to Daming... There are not many such talents.

At this moment.

Qi Jiguang, who had already arranged the post-training matters, walked here quickly.

As a famous general at the top of the ninth rank, Qi Jiguang is naturally clever with eyes and ears, and has noticed Zhu Yuanzhang and others for a long time, but at that time he was presiding over the formation training, so he had to put it aside.

"The last general pays homage to His Majesty! I have met the prince and the governor!"

As soon as Qi Jiguang came over, he bowed and saluted very respectfully.

A trace of satisfaction flashed in the depths of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. What he liked most was Qi Jiguang's character, unlike those Huaixi military generals in the past, who were all rebellious, and even dared to pull his sleeve to force him to drink.

"Yuan Jing doesn't need to be too polite!"

With a smile on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke to Qi Jiguang patiently, then pointed to the school field not far away, and asked: "These soldiers have been training for several months, how long will it take before they can fight the enemy?" ?”

Zhu Biao, Li Wenzhong, and Yang Shiqi all set their sights on Qi Jiguang, and also wanted to know this question.

The month Li Wenzhong said just now was just his own guess.

I also saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was a little anxious, and tried to give Qi Jiguang more training time.

Qi Jiguang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, at the current speed, in another half a month, fifty thousand elite soldiers will be trained!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and burst out laughing.

He has a deep scheming mind, but in front of the generals in the army, he will only show a bold and generous side, especially at this time.

But just laughed twice.

He put away his smile and said: "In half a month, Yuan Jing trained troops faster than expected. He did his best, but half a month is still too long!"

"It takes half a month to train soldiers, and it takes time to transfer these soldiers to the front line. When they really arrive at the place, it will take one month!"

"Can Wang Jing give us a month? Huh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was already a little harsh when he said the last word.The eyes burst out with brilliance.

When the people around heard this, they were silent.

Li Wenzhong, Yang Shiqi, and Qi Jiguang are all top civil servants and military generals, so they know what His Majesty said makes sense.Daxia's more than one million troops were divided into four groups.

Among them, the three major camps of Jiangdong, Zhenjiang, and Lujiang are like three daggers, one of which is facing the Song Army Han Shizhong's troops.

The other two daggers stabbed fiercely from Daming's ribs.

The Ming Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it could be regarded as one of the most powerful forces in the southeast, but it was caught between the two groups of soldiers from the Great Xia, and immediately blocked from the left and the right, very embarrassed.

The soldiers and horses in Jurong and Dangtu accounted for more than half of the Ming army.Only about [-] soldiers and horses were left to garrison Jinling.

Strategically at a disadvantage, the military strength is not as good as human beings, and this is the end of being beaten everywhere.

If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to change the disadvantages of the Ming army, the first thing he needed was not some ingenious strategy, but to seize all the time to train recruits. Only enough soldiers and horses can make Ming stand up straight.

After a while, Qi Jiguang gritted his teeth and said, "If your Majesty transfers an eighth-rank alien beast to the last general, and use the flesh and blood of these alien beasts to replenish the energy and blood consumed by the soldiers' training... the final general can shorten the time to ten days! "

"In ten days, these [-] soldiers and horses can be tempered to a qualified physique and strength, and then they can go to the battlefield without dying. Even if they have trained elite soldiers!"

According to Qi Jiguang's plan, he spent ten days continuing to train the soldiers to temper their strength.

Then spend another five days teaching me the skills of close combat and battlefield combat.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was so eager that he could only shorten the training time again.

Throw the soldiers directly on the battlefield and hone their fighting skills on the battlefield. In this case, many soldiers are inexperienced and it is easy to cause unnecessary losses.

"Okay, ten days! That's it! We will prepare everything you want!"

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang was aware of the consequences of shortening the training time, but he did not hesitate at all, and put a smile on his face again.

"Let's go to the big account to discuss the matter together!"

He took the lead and immediately led everyone to the military camp next to the school grounds.

Qi Jiguang has stayed in this military camp for more than half a year, and there is no decoration in the big tent of the military camp except for a wooden table and a few seats.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the first place.

Seeing that everyone was standing, he immediately greeted them: "Sit, everyone! Come to us, Biaoer!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for granting your seat!"

Li Wenzhong also knew his uncle's temper, and knowing that now was not the time to be polite, he bowed his hands and thanked him first, and then sat on the first chair on the left.

Qi Jiguang did not take the lead, nor pretended to be modest, and followed Li Wenzhong to the second place.Yang Shiqi sat on the right side.

Among the central civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to them, there were generals Tang He, Liao Yongzhong, Liao Yongan, Geng Junyong and others, but after Tang He came, he was directly sent to Xuancheng to sit in charge.

Other civil and military generals also have important responsibilities.

Especially in the current season, they are extremely busy.There is no time and no need to attend meetings where only a few people can make decisions.

Qi Jiguang's participation in it means that he has become the core minister of Ming Dynasty, which is inseparable from his background and ability.

"Where's the map?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked his personal guards to hang up topographic maps of various places in the south of the Yangtze River,
This is a topographical map of the mountains and rivers around Jinling. In addition to the topography of the Ming Dynasty, the prefectures, cities, and guards of Jiangdong and Zhenjiang provinces are all described in detail.

This is the secret military situation that Daming's Jinyiwei spies have painstakingly found out.

"Look, this is Xia Jun's current force distribution..."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and tapped Dangtu, Jurong, Wuxi, Changxing, Jiaxing and other places with his fingers.

"The three major camps of the Xia Army, plus the main force of the Xia Army where Wang Jing belongs, has nearly 150 million soldiers and horses, and the number of civilians employed is countless..."

"Such a huge mobilization of troops should have taken advantage of the large number of troops and launched a strong attack on our army before the Song army went north! We have also made such preparations..."

"However, until now, only Jurong and Dangtu have attacked us in the Xia army, and the attack is more like a test. The military reports from Xu Da and Chang Yuchun all say that the Xia army's offensive is not strong!"

"We thought there must be something wrong with this. Either Xia Jun wanted to hold back our army and go south to attack the Song army first, or this kid Wang Jing had some evil idea to harm our army!"

Li Wenzhong and Qi Jiguang listened very seriously, and began to think about these words.

In fact, Fu Youde and He Ruobi's offensive in Jurong and Dangtu is no longer a temptation.

The two sides have fought fiercely in the two places, and each lost a large number of soldiers.

However, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, this level of death and injury is nothing at all, and there is still a long way to go from a real violent fight and a full-scale attack.

"Your Majesty sees clearly, I really didn't notice this situation before!"

Li Wenzhong was a little ashamed.

Yang Shiqi followed up and said: "Wang Jing went south from Jiangyin to Wuxi to garrison, and sent 30 to [-] soldiers to Changxing... Could it be that Wang Jing is going to fight the Song army first, and the two groups of Jurong and Dangtu are just used to delay the battle?" Live in our army?"

"It's possible, but we feel that this shouldn't be Wang Jing's plan!"

"Wang Jing, who established a country in just a few years and has an elite army of more than one million, is by no means a mediocre person. According to other people's evaluation, Wang Jing can be called a hero and a wise king!"

"The wiser he is, the clearer he is. Compared with the Southern Song Dynasty, which side is the greater threat to Xia Jun!"

"If we were Wang Jing, we would definitely take Jinling as our first target!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

"If, as His Majesty said, Wang Jing regarded our army as the primary threat, how could he bring all the 50 soldiers who went south to Wuxi? 50 elite soldiers are enough to defeat the Song army head-on and relieve the Xia army from the south. ..."

Li Wenzhong frowned, trying to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking.

Yang Shiqi is proficient in internal affairs, and in terms of strategy, he can't compare with the few people in the big tent at all, so he shut up after saying a word.

After half a sound.

Qi Jiguang, who had been silent all this time, said: "If the Xia army's target is always our army, then Wang Jing's garrison in Wuxi must have other intentions besides deterring the Song army!"

As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said, "I will ask you to use the map at the end!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Qi Jiguang then stood up, stepped forward lightly, walked to the front of the map, tapped the place where Wuxi was, and then slid his fingers around Wuxi according to the mountains and rivers.

"In addition to the more than 30 Xia troops in Changxing, Wang Jing still has nearly 30 soldiers in Wuxi... If he is targeting our army, the most likely plan is to take advantage of our army's flaws and lead the [-] troops to fight against them." Wan Jingrui gave our army a fatal blow!"

"As for the flaws of our army..."

Qi Jiguang pondered for a while, and said: "General Xu and General Chang respectively commanded the main force of our army to be stationed in two places, resulting in the emptiness of Jinling's troops. Could it be that Wang Jing is planning to surprise Jinling with surprise troops?"

He turned his gaze and returned to the vicinity of Jinling.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak on the side, but also fell into deep thought.

"If you want to raid Jinling, you must first break through the important areas around Jinling! There are large troops stationed in the east and west. Don't worry, the Yangtze River in the north is also guarded..."

As he said that, Qi Jiguang's eyes naturally looked towards the south of Jinling.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed, and he also looked to the south of Jinling.

The only place in the south of Jinling that can be regarded as an important gateway is Gaochun.

There was originally a large army stationed here, and it was an important town for the Ming army and the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, with the collapse of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this place became the heartland of the Ming Dynasty, and the original large army was naturally transferred to other places.

Qi Jiguang pointed Gaochun with his finger, and then he saw a big river on the north side of Gaochun... along the big river to the east, twists and turns, stretches, and finally flows into Taihu Lake from Yixing.

"not good!"

Qi Jiguang's complexion changed wildly.The voices have changed a bit.

"Wang Jing wants to march west along the river from Yixing and attack Gaochun, the gateway to the south of Jinling!"

Say this.

Li Wenzhong, Yang Shiqi, and Zhu Biao also changed their faces, and their hearts were shocked.

Gao Chun!

A place that no one has noticed before, but it is not their fault. After the annexation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Gaochun, the southern gateway of Jinling, existed in name only.

Just like in history, after the dynasties ruled the world, the original important places lost their due functions.

The river from Gaochun to Yixing is full of barren forests, poor mountains and bad waters along the way. There are countless tributaries and hidden reefs in the river. Before it is specially developed and repaired, it is very difficult to transport a large army from here.

If you want 30 troops to pass through here, at least one-third of them will be lost along the way!

However, judging by Zhu Yuanzhang, Qi Jiguang and others, if they can solve all kinds of problems and raid Gaochun all the way to take this city, then Daming's heart will be pierced!
