Chapter three hundred and sixty fifth selection

Since the 29th year of Jiajing, Japanese pirates have become increasingly rampant. The troops of the southeast coastal guards are unable to stand the battle and are about to collapse. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, Ligang was destroyed and Japanese pirates began to invade on a large scale. Most of their targets were wealthy areas such as Shaoxing, Ningbo, Jiaxing and Susong.

In the 32nd year of Jiajing, the imperial court established a new position of governor of Zhejiang, and led troops from six provinces to fully suppress the Japanese. Visiting troops from all over the country gathered in the southeast, but except for the wolf-civilian soldiers, they rarely had outstanding achievements.

Known people in the court suggested restarting the recruitment system and recruiting troops on the spot to fight against the Japanese, which could also reduce the pressure on money and grain. The first person to take action was Tan Lun in Taizhou. Later, with Qian Yuan's intervention, Lu Bin, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were all involved.

Qi Jiguang originally wanted to recruit soldiers from Ningbo Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture, which were suffering from Japanese turmoil, but he was soon disappointed. Finally, under the guidance of Qian Yuan's letter, his eyes turned to Jinhua Prefecture.

Speaking of which, Jinhua Prefecture is not near the sea, but after 32 years of Jiajing, the large-scale invasion of Japanese pirates caused great damage to Jinhua. Although there were mountains on the west side, the Japanese pirates several times invaded Shaoxing Prefecture and divided their troops south to invade Jinhua, burned, killed, and looted, which was tragic. The people in this place were the kind of people who dared to live to survive, so they naturally became the best source of troops.

Although there was no legendary Battle of Babaoshan, Qi Jiguang soon found the soldiers who satisfied him the most in Yiwu, Jinhua Prefecture... In fact, there was no Babaoshan at all, only Babaoshan, and there was no silver mine. Qi Jiguang recruited soldiers mainly to target those honest farmers.

"Bai Lei?" Qian Yuan stood at the entrance of the town and shook his head slightly. After all, he was not a history major in his previous life, and he had never heard of this place.

"In February last year, the Japanese pirates invaded Shaoxing and divided their troops to invade Jinhua." The old man next to him, whose hair was white but his waist was straight, introduced: "There was a great victory in Shaoxing, but the Japanese pirates who remained in Jinhua Prefecture were in Yiwu... The two local clans were seriously damaged, many people were killed and their houses were destroyed."

This is Zhao Dahe, the magistrate of Yiwu County. In the same year of Qian Yuan, he passed the exam in the 13th year of Jiajing. He passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination for 22 years before he passed the imperial examination. He was awarded the magistrate of Yiwu County in March this year. Before going south, Qian Yuan specially found him and told him in detail about recruiting troops.

Qian Yuan vaguely remembered this name, and it seemed to be the supervisor of the Qi family army.

Later, Qi Jiguang was allowed to go to Yiwu to recruit soldiers again, and Zhao Dahe ran around without any effort. Only then did Qi Jiguang successfully recruit more than 3,000 soldiers from the local area, and there was no shortage of food and salary.

"The people of Yiwu are fierce and fierce by nature, but they do not make things happen for no reason. They are indeed suitable for recruiting soldiers." Zhao Dahe explained: "The two major local clans are the Lou family and the Chen family. This Beilei Town is where the Chen clan is located."

"It is said that scholars know everything about the world if they don't go out. Zhan only suggested that Qi Yuanjing come to Yiwu to recruit soldiers... have you been here before?" Wu Baipeng said with a smile.

Qian Yuan smiled and said nothing. He said that since he saw Qi Jiguang's first appearance, he has paid great attention to Yiwu.

Wu Baipeng, a native of Yiwu, Zhao Dahe, the magistrate of Yiwu, and Wang Daokun, who once served as the magistrate of Yiwu. Qi Jiguang went to Yiwu for the first time to recruit soldiers. Later, Wang Daokun took action and allowed Qi Jiguang and the Qi family of Yiwu to recognize each other, so that more than a thousand new soldiers could be successfully recruited.

"It is said that there is a family tree, but who knows the true or false." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "It is said that Qi Yuanjing's thirteenth generation ancestor moved from Yiwu to Dingyuan, and then settled in Shandong during the Taizu period."

"The Qi family is not a big surname, and it can always be related." Wu Baipeng said casually, his eyes falling on Qi Jimei who came out to greet her.

Qi Jimei bowed and bowed one by one, "The camp is still training troops. Brother, please go and rest first, he will arrive later."

"Go to the camp to have a look." Qian Yuan still had something to do in his mind, and he didn't want to delay it for too long. He complained: "You have a lot of trouble. Can others use the weapons transported from Nanjing? You can't use them?"

Qian Yuan stayed in Hangzhou for ten days. When the first batch of military ordnances were transported, he wanted to snatch it and send it to Yiwu. As a result, Qi Jiguang wrote a letter to request that some of the military ordnances be made by themselves. Hu Zongxian had no time to clone it. This coordination work has always been done by Wu Baipeng. Qian Yuan was about to set off for Taizhou. Hu Zongxian asked Qian Yuan to inspect the road.

Qian Yuan was a little puzzled. He had no name, so he went to inspect what he wanted... However, Hu Zongxian paid 4,000 taels of silver in advance and asked Qian Yuan to escort back to Taizhou Prefecture, so he took this trip along the way.

It is said that Qi Jiguang is the most skilled general in history. As soon as Qian Yuan approached the camp, he felt a sense of murderousness. Through the fence, he saw dense soldiers standing neatly in line with spears in their hands, with no noise, no training, and no command.

The silent and depressing atmosphere was like the dark clouds in the sky. Although you could see from a distance that some soldiers had no weapons and weapons in their hands and only had wooden sticks to support the matter, but the sequel and invisible pressure made the group slow down involuntarily.

For example, Qian Yuan, Wu Baipeng, Yang Wen and other guards have experienced wars, and can see some tricks, with a serious expression and a smile. Outsiders like Zhao Dahe only know that their throats are astringent and unable to speak, and their rapid breathing is clearly heard.

Qian Yuan was a little surprised. He originally wanted to see the famous Qi family army's mandarin duck formation, but unexpectedly he was queuing up.

At this time, a strong wind hangs by, and the woods not far from the camp blew, and dazzling lightning cut through the dim sky, and then a rumbling thunder came.

"Not good." Wu Baipeng's face changed, "It's going to rain. Magistrate Zhao, can you get someone to prepare ginger?"

"No...no, I'll go now." Zhao Dahe looked at the still-standard queue and hurriedly left with a few yamen runners.

This is the weather in the southeast. In July, it rained as soon as it rained. Zhao Dahe left, and scattered raindrops had already fallen. The guards held up umbrellas to cover Qian Yuan and Wu Baipeng's heads. In an instant, the raindrops became dense, and accompanied by the howling wind, everyone was wet.

Although Wu Baipeng was both civil and military, he was not inferior to the army after all. He stared at the queue standing in the downpour of rain in the camp not far away. Qian Yuan was not surprised. It is said that in history, Qi Jiguang transferred north, and most of the border troops were dissatisfied with military orders...

Three thousand Zhejiang soldiers arrived, and it was raining heavily in the suburbs of Chen. From the morning to the sun, the plant stood still. The border troops were shocked and they began to know the military orders...

The soldiers inside stood still, and the group outside were also frozen and staring foolishly. Soon, the heavy rain gradually slowed down and the vision was no longer blocked by the rain curtain.

Qian Yuan opened his eyes and looked carefully. Some soldiers were shaking their bodies, and some soldiers were unsteady in their hands. These people were immediately taken out of the queue and sent to the rear.

"It should be a soldier." Qian Yuan murmured: "We need to form an army as soon as possible... the soldier in the rain!"

Unlike the similar Rain in the Rain in history, it shows military power, which is to eliminate the weak and retain the strong.

"I haven't heard of it since ancient times." Wu Baipeng habitually stroked his beard, but found that his beard was wet and mixed into a piece of it. "Zhan Cai had said before that Qi Yuanjing had the style of a famous general in the world... It's still Zhan Cai's eyes that you are poisonous."

Since he met and made friends outside Wujiang County, Wu Baipeng knew Qian Yuan very well. He knew that Qian Yuan had strongly helped Tianzhou wolf soldiers, but Mrs. Wa and Zhong Nan led the wolf soldiers to have made military achievements in the past two years.

Qian Yuan was once a supporter of Hu Ruzhen. It was even rumored in the capital that Hu Ruzhen was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang and Qian Yuan had worked behind the scenes. As a result, Hu Zongxian was indeed the best candidate to fight against the Japanese in the southeast.

Qian Yuan mentioned Qi Jiguang in front of Wu Baipeng as early as the previous year. What happened in front of him now made Wu Baipeng believe that Qian Yuan had a talent that was cognizable... Indeed, on this point, as long as you look at "History of Ming Dynasty" dialectically, Qian Yuan did have a talent that was cognizable.

After a while, the drizzled drizzle and shouts were heard. The camp owner waved the flag on the stage and the sound of gold was heard. Thousands of queues gradually dispersed and disappeared into the open space one after another, neatly and solemnly, and orders were prohibited. Obviously, although there was a lack of weapons, Qi Jiguang did not waste these months.

Qian Yuan looked around and Qi Jimei had long been missing, but Zhao Dahe brought people to deliver ginger soup, and Yang Wen went to scooped a few bowls to distribute.

At this time, a general with a helmet and armor strode out of the camp gate surrounded by more than a dozen personal soldiers.

"I'll see it..."

"Okay, why should Yuan Jing do this?" Wu Baipeng and Qi Jiguang were also very familiar with each other and immediately stepped forward to support him. Although Wu Baipeng was just an inspector, he was at least nominally a Southeast anti-Japanese giant. As a general, Qi Jiguang had to kneel down and bow down.

Qi Jiguang turned to look at Qian Yuan. Since Qian Yuan went to Huizhou in the first month of last year, the two had not seen each other for a year and a half.
