Chapter 366 Equipment
Qi Jiguang was transferred to the Zhejiang Metropolitan Command Office for guerrillas in the 32nd year of Jiajing. The first time he heard Qian Yuan's name was in the Governor's Office. Tu Dashan, who was then the governor of Zhejiang, cursed Qian Yuan in Huating.
Later Qi Jiguang learned that Tu Dashan summoned the newly defeated Yu Dayou to rush to Tongxiang, but Qian Yuan refused and expelled the messenger in Chongde County.
Later, news came that Yu Dayou defended the city, Chongde won a great victory, and beheaded more than a thousand times, but Xu Hai escaped calmly with a shot. Qi Jiguang pursued Chongde and learned that his wife Wang was also in Chongde and was also called to Qian Yuan and his brothers.
Since then, Qi Jiguang and Qian Yuan have been unable to get rid of it. Whether it is the wolf-toothed slut during the Battle of Linping Mountain, Hu Zongxian's priority supplement to Qi Jiguang's army, and later Qi Jiguang recruited troops from Yiwu to form an army, and then went to Taizhou for several battles, Qian Yuan's shadow has always appeared behind Qi Jiguang.
Someone once joked that Qi Jiguang learned military tactics from Qian Yuan, but Qi Jiguang himself had no complaints and just laughed it off. In fact, he secretly added fuel to this statement.
Qi Jiguang is a very good at engaging in relationships and is well-informed. Qian Yuan stirred up the storm in the capital and became famous. He was selected as a Shujishi by the Jinshi, married a noble daughter from the noble family, Jian was in the heart of the emperor, and went to the Yu Prince's Mansion... Qi Jiguang knew it well.
Leaving the military camp, facing Qian Yuan, Wu Baipeng, Qi Jiguang's smile never stopped. Qian Yuan couldn't help but think in his heart that he chose Zhang Juzheng in the original time and space. Will he change his target in this life?
"Yes, today is indeed a soldier. Of course, it was a surprise that the sudden heavy rain was a surprise." Qi Jiguang explained: "The first batch of recruited more than a thousand soldiers. After several battles, I found that no matter what other soldiers were waiting for in the army, I must have courage, strong arms, and resilience."
"I have to thank Zhan Cai when talking about this. I have defeated the Japanese several times and suffered very little damage. It is mainly due to the wolf teeth."
"I know this, I have seen it in Taozhai Town." Wu Baipeng said: "The wolf cunning soldiers in the Suishunzhou are vulnerable in front of the Qian family's guards. The wolf teeth and shield can stabilize their position."
"Not only that." Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "When we were in the battle with the Japanese pirates before, they were close to each other, and many emperors were at a loss, but they could cover their whole body and be enough to boost courage and aid energy."
"I understand, wolf teeth... You have modified it, it's too heavy, so you need to elect soldiers." Qian Yuan said in a muffled voice, sneezing, and turned to ask Qi Jimei, "What's wrong? You haven't served food yet? You brothers were in the food garden before, so you were not polite at all!"
"It's going to be soon, it's going to be soon." Qi Jimei was more respectful to Qian Yuan than his brother. Maybe this is his brother-in-law. "I beat a few pheasants, hares, and deer. I burned them to make it taste good. Brother Yang also sent some dried peppers to add flavor."
"Donny..." Qian Yuan swallowed. He had only eaten this thing once or twice in his previous life. I still don't know if it was really wild. "Take one for me tomorrow?"
"No problem!" Qi Jiguang waved his hand, "Immediately, let's go up the mountain to fight... Uh, it's dark, so go to the nearby village to ask."
"It must be yellow deer. The black deer meat is too rough and cannot even be eaten!" Qian Yuan said with a smile: "Jinhua ham is famous all over the world..."
"Yes, don't worry, just prepare more for you. I don't know if my aunt moved to Taizhou. Let your sister go to Linhai to see her. She is in Xinhesou, not far from Linhai County."
Wu Baipeng was speechless, and as he spoke, he turned the building aside. Is it time to talk about food?
"By the way, Brother Weixi, you don't care about Jinhua ham. I'll bring you some mountain delicacies. It's raining today, and I'll let you go up the mountain to pick it tomorrow morning."
Wu Baipeng sighed, paused before saying, "I was poor when I was young... After being a Jinshi, I have not returned home for many years. This is the third time I have returned to Yiwu after being appointed as the Zhejiang Inspector."
Qi Jiguang blinked, "How many Jinhua hams should I bring?"
"He likes to eat meat." Qian Yuan said casually: "Brother Weixi, you have lived in the southeast for a long time. There should be many storms in July and August, right?"
"It's hard to say." Wu Baipeng shook his head, "But looking like this year, there should be one, and the time may be quite short."
Qi Jiguang drove his younger brother out and asked softly: "The Governor ordered an army to rush to Taizhou as soon as possible, but the Japanese pirates were going to invade a large amount?"
Wu Baipeng turned to look at Qian Yuan... Although he didn't know the inside story, he knew very well that the change only appeared after Qian Yuan came to Hangzhou.
"Xu Hai, Wang Zhi has already ceased to fight." Qian Yuan introduced the general situation, "So, Xu Hai will definitely attack the coastal prefecture. If there is a typhoon, it may be a little later, but Yuan Jing still needs to form an army as soon as possible."
"The recruitment of soldiers began in early March, with a total of 3,647 people, and now there are 3,589 people left. Today, the soldiers were elected 2,263." Qi Jiguang knew these numbers well, "As long as the weapons were prepared, we should start immediately... Will the Japanese pirates attack Taizhou?"
Qian Yuan hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm not sure, this time Xu Hai's invasion... I always feel that he may not be trying to plunder money."
"The young and strong population?" Wu Baipeng said: "You have just said that Xu Hai and Wang Zhi started a war and suffered a lot of losses, with only five or six thousand people under his command."
"But after the war, the chaos of five or six thousand people may not be smaller than the time two years ago." Qi Jiguang was a little excited. It was time to make achievements.
While chatting, the food outside was ready. The three of them got up and sat down, poured a few glasses of light wine and drank slowly.
Qian Yuan is a person who never tires of eating fine stews. The most annoying thing is that the chef throws everything into it and cooks it sours all, but wild game requires a long time to cook. The rabbits, pheasants, and yellow deer are all cooked quite deliciously. With a few dried chili peppers, it is salty and fragrant, making people feel sagging.
I snatched a chicken leg with one chopstick. Although the meat is not as tender as in my previous life, the more I chew it, the more I taste it. Qian Yuan ate it with relish, which made Wu Baipeng frequently put the chopsticks on.
After eating 70% to 80% full, Wu Baipeng continued the previous topic, "Yuan Jing, how many weapons are there? You wrote to the Governor's Office to build your own weapons, which means you are a wolf-tooth squid?"
"I just saw it. The wolf tooth silhouette has been modified. It is 1500 feet long. The smallest front is attached to the branches, and the gun tip is made of iron, weighing about seven or eight pounds." Qian Yuan also held a piece of deer meat in his mouth. "It is not possible for people with strong arms to use it. No wonder he is so elected today."
Qi Jiguang nodded first, then shook his head slightly, "Zhan Cai and Brother Weixi both know the formation. Each team only needs two wolf teeth. Although it is difficult to build, there are not many in total. In fact, the gap is mainly long spears."
"Now the long spears in the army vary in length, about five or six feet short, and only ten feet long, but the spear I made..." Qi Jiguang stroked his beard and smiled and said, "One or four feet."
Qian Yuan was stunned. Such a long spear... The wolf tooth is an unconventional weapon, about five meters or six meters, and four meters or five meters or five meters or more!
After a moment of quiet in the room, Wu Baipeng praised: "It's a good idea. In fact, in addition to the real Japanese using long swords, many Japanese pirates also use long spears, mainly about six or seven feet, with shield hands and wolf teeth in front of them, and a spear of one or four feet... which can calmly kill the enemy."
Qian Yuan could only sigh. He never knew this detail in his previous life. He thought about it. The Qian family guards had used spears before, and the Japanese pirates also used spears.
"In other words, if you have a full spear, you can drive it?" Qian Yuan thought for a while, "It shouldn't be difficult, it's just that the gun rod is lengthened..."
"Where is that easy?" Wu Baipeng knew these things. "The length of gun barrel is equipped with a gun head, and the length of gun head is fixed. A spear of 1,4 feet must be at least one and a half feet. They are all made of pure iron. No wonder Yuan Jing asked the Governor's Office to allocate the silver to make it by himself."
It is true that it is said that the Qi family army can fight and spend money. Just as they were thinking about whether there were any, Qian Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and sneered: "By the way, Brother Yuan Jing can tell the Governor the details?"
"Of course, the Governor has assigned dozens of blacksmiths and started to make a move when the money is in place." Qi Jiguang said with a move: "I have calculated the life and start changing clothes in half a month, and the longest will not exceed one month."
Qian Yuan chewed expressionlessly for a while before swallowing the deer meat in his mouth, and drank the glass of wine in his mouth in one sip. "No wonder he had to let me go this time!"
Qi Jiguang looked at Wu Baipeng in confusion, and the latter spread his hands and signaled that he was not very clear.
However, before Wu Baipeng left, Zheng Ruo privately told Qi Jiguang that Qian Zhancai would take care of him for one or two more times.
Qian Yuan also figured it out. No wonder Hu Zongxian was so kind to ask him to escort 4,000 taels of silver back to Taizhou Prefecture, and also asked him to inspect Qi Jiguang's training troops. This was obvious!
It’s not that Qian Yuan judges a gentleman’s ambition by his villain’s heart. He could even be shameless and denied the spoils that day. These people can’t do anything bad!
