The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Speaking of this, the corner of Qi Jiguang's mouth twitched.

Let’s talk about the Ming Dynasty, the long peace, and the influence of the military household system, other families were not allowed to hide weapons and practice martial arts, which caused a sharp decline in the physique and brave spirit of men across the country.

He discussed with Yan Song for a long time, thinking that there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and set the treatment of the three major battalions of the capital as the highest standard in the country. The starting salary is 20 taels of silver, which is higher than that of the veterans of the Qi family army.

But there were many soldiers who came to apply for the job, but still not many qualified soldiers could be selected.

Hearing this, Yan Song was quite helpless.

Confucianism, the military household system, and the strict control of the Ming court in the past have eroded the bravery and bloodiness of the Chinese nation too much.

Although China has a population of hundreds of millions, there is no shortage of good men, but the lack of training and foundation is a big problem.

"Then lower the recruiting standards for the time being. As long as there are brave and bloody good men, they can temporarily join the reserve army. They will train in the reserve army for a year or so and then gradually select them." Yan Song said in a deep voice.

···········

"Okay!" Qi Jiguang smiled happily: "I am worried that Mr. Yan Ge is eager to win, and he wants to expand the army and prepare for war regardless of quality. In this way, I am confident that within one year, the three major battalions of the capital will complete high-quality recruits. Work, select the truly elite tigers, and complete the reconstruction."

Hearing this, Yang Bo smiled wryly. He stood up and said, "Lord Yuanfu, in my opinion, the warriors who can apply for the job now are many times stronger than those of the three major battalions of the capital. After all, in the past They are all controlled by the Wu Xun family, who eat empty pay and drink the blood of the soldiers. The military households are weak, and each of them is controlled by the disciples of the Wu Xun family. How strong is my Ming army?"

..........

Yan Song smiled slightly: "There is no strongest, only stronger! This is the only standard!"

Yang Bo and Zhang Siwei smiled wryly.

Yan Song pouted.

These guys who sit in a well and watch the sky have no idea how drastic changes are taking place in this world.The construction of the army is still measured by the standards of the past.

If we were to fight head-on on the ground with the elite all-firearms troops, the Spanish Conquistadors, even the Qi Family Army of Ming Dynasty would not be enough.

After all, the quality and training of the soldiers of the Qi Family Army are excellent, but the rationing rate of modern firearms is not high enough, and the soldiers have not fully completed modern combat training.

The three major battalions of the capital have a long way to go.

Elder Yan Ge never underestimated any enemy, nor overestimated his own strength.

"However..." Zhang Siwei said worriedly: "What about Houjin-Korqin? Please show me, Lord Yuanfu."

Yan Song said in a deep voice: "Two plans, two-pronged approach! First, immediately stop the crusade against the various tribes of Western Mongolia, and then open the horse market, deliver food and weapons to Western Mongolia, and arm the various tribes of Western Mongolia. Forcing the king, the tiger will occupy the whale, and easily swallow the entire Mongolia!"

Everyone was shocked.

Elder Yan Ge's evaluation of Nurhachi is so high?

. .

Chapter 1705 The vertical and horizontal integration of the northern grassland [1]

A month ago, Mongolia had just tore up the contract and brazenly invaded Ming Dynasty. Of course, the Ming court stopped all horse trade with Mongolia. Even food was not allowed to be imported into Mongolia, let alone the export of weapons to Mongolia was prohibited!

As a result, now, Yan Song has quickly changed his policy towards Mongolia, not only allowing Mongolia to buy Daming grain, but even actively selling Daming weapons to various tribes in Western Mongolia!

This is Chiguoguo's support for Simon to deal with the Houjin-Korqin coalition forces that annexed Eastern Mongolia.

Is this Hou Jin so important to Mr. Yan Ge?

"To support the tribes of Western Mongolia, we need to introduce a leader." Yan Song had a thorough study of Mongolia's situation, and calmly said: "Otherwise, a mess of scattered sand will still not be able to stop Nurhachi. This pavilion is old-fashioned, located in "Two Three Three" in Simon The Bansheng City in the Guhetao area can become the core force against Nurhachi."

The important ministers looked confused again.

Plate rise?

If they remember correctly, this is the Han Chinese city outside the Great Wall built by the White Lotus Sect.

After a few years of fighting, Tang Lian'er, the saint of the White Lotus Sect, has brought 30 Han people from outside the Great Wall to belong to the Ming court and moved to the inland area. How can Yan Ge bring up the old story again?

Yan Song said indifferently: "All the tribes in Western Mongolia basically follow Al Da Khan. Now they have lost the most. If there is no backbone, Western Mongolia will definitely be annexed by Nurhachi. Once Nurhachi occupies the entire Mongolia, it will form a great Ming for me. Surrounded by east, west, north, and three sides. At that time, I, Ming, fell into complete passiveness. This is something my elders would never allow. The land of Bansheng is located in the Hetao area, the Yellow River has nine bends, and only rich people! The geographical location is extremely important."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and said lightly: "Actually, the elders of this pavilion have always acquiesced to the White Lotus Sect. It continues to exist and preach in the Hetao area. Nowadays, in the Hetao area, apart from the Han people who believe in the White Lotus Sect, even many Mongolian tribes also believe in the White Lotus Sect. One after another converted to the White Lotus Sect. The population is more than 50. This force, together with the power of the White Lotus Sect in the Central Plains, can definitely form a strong fortress against Nurhachi. The elders of this pavilion decided to let Tang Lian'er, the saint of the White Lotus Sect, return Go to Bansheng, rebuild the city, and name this pavilion Hohhot! To fight against Nurhachi!"

The important ministers suddenly realized!

This idea is amazing!

However, you are the dignified chief minister of the cabinet, so you didn't change your face and your heart beat, and proposed to let the saint of the White Lotus Sect go back to the grassland to lead the Han and Mongolian believers to fight against the Nurhachi army?

Are you not afraid of being scolded?

Although the ordinary people in the outside world certainly don't know the relationship between Mr. Yan Ge and the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, everyone here is basically the oldest and most cunning generation in Ming Dynasty, and they all know about the scandal between Mr. Yan Ge and Tang Lian'er.

It is said that Mr. Yan Ge had been entangled with Tang Lian'er in the early years, and the saint of the White Lotus Sect even made a promise to Mr. Yan Ge, and some people said that Mr. Yan Ge had already taken Tang Lian'er into the house if he hadn't worried about Jiajing. , accepted as a special pet, and some people said that Tang Lianer was infatuated with Mr. Yan Ge. In the prince's chaos that just ended, the prince chased and killed the queen, but was stopped by Tang Lianer arranged by Mr. Yan Ge.

These claims vary, but one thing is certain.

That is Tang Lian'er, the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, who is actually the woman of Elder Yan Ge.

White gloves, just the jin slenderness of a privately favored beauty.

Now, Mr. Yan Ge wants to openly send his own woman to Bansheng, and even raise his arms?

If the prince is still there, this will definitely become a major crime for the princelings to attack Yan Song desperately.

Arm your own woman, establish your own power on the border, with ulterior motives, and your intentions can be punished!

But the problem is...

Prince Zhu Zaihou has already entered Huangquan Road...
