Chapter 710 Qi Haibo
"Master Li, do you know who that young general is?"
Zhu Ping'an returned to the room and saw that Li Chunfang had just finished writing a Qingci, so he sat down He went to Li Chunfang's side, pointed to the young official standing at Yan Song's door waiting to be summoned, and softly asked Li Chunfang for advice.
Li Chunfang looked along Zhu Pingan's finger. Because the distance was a bit far, she couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly to make herself see more clearly.
After seeing the appearance of the young official standing at Yan Song's door, Li Chunfang smiled slightly, "I have very little contact with the military attaches in the DPRK and China, but coincidentally, I happen to have met this general a few times. ”
"Oh, I'd like to hear the details." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands and humbly asked Li Chunfang for advice.
"This person is Qi Haibo, who became famous last year." Li Chunfang smiled slightly and said slowly.
Qi Haibo?
Zhu Pingan was startled when he heard this. I have heard of Huang Haibo and Zhou Libo, but who is this Qi Haibo? Were you relatively famous last year? Could it be that he was some unlucky general forgotten by history?
Looking at Zhu Ping'an's confused look, the smile on Li Chunfang's face grew wider, she smoothed her stubble and chanted in a measured tone. Starting to write poems:
The small building rests peacefully for the time being, worrying about the old alliance. He calls out bottles to greet guests, waves his bows and sits down to talk about war.
The clouds protect toothpicks, and the stars contain swords. It is not my intention to be granted the title of Marquis, but I hope the sea will be peaceful.
Hearing this poem recited by Li Chunfang, Zhu Ping'an felt as if the clouds were clearing, and he suddenly understood, "It is not my intention to be a prince, but I hope the sea will be peaceful." As an enthusiast of ancient military affairs, Zhu Pingan Ping An, how could I not have heard of this famous poem?
Of course, Zhu Pingan knew it in his heart, but he still looked like he didn't know what was going on and was willing to hear the details.
After all, as a native of Ming Dynasty, there is no reason for me to know who the person is as soon as I hear this poem.
Historically, this poem gradually became widely known after its owner became successful in resisting the Japanese and became famous.
As far as this poem is concerned, except for the heroic line of "The title of Marquis is not my intention, I hope the sea will be peaceful", the level of other poems is about the same, and overall there is not much that is outstanding. , if its owner had not become famous, this poem would have been lost in the long river of history without making a single ripple.
"Zihou didn't know that this poem was written by General Qi a few years ago." Li Chunfang explained softly.
"The title of Marquis is not my intention, I hope the sea will be peaceful. This general has great ambitions." Zhu Pingan nodded, then slightly raised the corners of his lips, and asked deliberately, "This general Is the general’s name Qi Haibo?”
“No, no.” Li Chunfang shook his head and smiled, and then told Zhu Pingan, “This general’s surname is Qi Jiguang, and he is from Dengzhou, Shandong. , his family has been an official for generations. At the age of ten, he took over the position of his ancestor, the commander of the Dengzhou Guard, and was already a genuine fourth-grade official at a young age. However, General Qi was not a mediocre person who relied on the kindness of his ancestors. He took the military examination last year. identity Coming to Beijing to take part in the martial arts examination was the previous one for you Enke. Unfortunately, the martial arts examination coincided with the critical situation of Beihu Anda Khan's troops besieging the capital, so the martial arts examination was cancelled. Try.”
Well, it turned out to be Qi Jiguang.
Zhu Pingan nodded inwardly, leaning forward and listening carefully.
After saying this, Li Chunfang looked around cautiously, and then lowered her voice, "At that time, there was a hundred thousand troops of Beihu Ada Khan outside the city, and there were said to be 120,000 to 30,000 imperial guards in the city. Army, you also know what the Imperial Guard is like now. The number of soldiers is all imaginary, and there are only 50,000 or 60,000 in real numbers. , among them there are many gilded meritorious deeds, many are old and weak, and many are employed by the families of internal and external admirals, and there are only less than 20,000 soldiers capable of fighting."
"It's so serious. ?" Zhu Ping'an clicked his tongue. The situation at the time of the Gengxu Revolution was more severe than he knew.
Li Chunfang nodded and continued: "Because of the serious situation, all the martial arts exams participating in the martial arts exams have been mobilized. Unlike other martial arts exams, General Qi volunteered on his own initiative, and it is rare for him to be educated. While he was defending the city, General Qi wrote a "Preparation for My Response" based on the actual situation. "
When Zhu Pingan heard this, he seemed to see the scene before his eyes.
If Qi Jiguang's inheritance of the fourth rank of his ancestors was the first step for Qi Jiguang to step onto the historical stage, then this article "Prepare My Answers" was a key step for Qi Jiguang to shine in history. Qi Jiguang officially relied on his This "Prepare My Answers" only entered the vision of the big guys and was appreciated. He showed his talents in this Gengxu Revolution and gained a precious pot of gold for his rise.
"At that time, I went to the city gate to labor under the command of the Holy One. I was fortunate enough to read this "Prepare My Answer Policy". Although I am not familiar with military affairs, I also feel that this policy is very good. Also traveling with me was Zhang from the Ministry of War. Sir, I will reward Mr. Zhang for this. Chief Zhang was so impressed that he immediately recommended General Qi to the Secretary of the Ministry of War. General Qi was temporarily appointed as the official of Jiumen Banner in the capital. General Qi's "Preparing My Answers" also became popular. It was also because of this that I got to know General Qi. " Li Chunfang recalled.
"I still have a copy of General Qi's "Prepare My Responses". If Zihou is interested, you can take a look." Li Chunfang looked at Zhu Pingan.
"Then I would like to thank Master Li." Zhu Ping'an smiled and thanked Li Chunfang.
"Zihou, why are you so polite to me?" Li Chunfang also smiled, looked around on the table, found a volume of "Prepare My Answers", and handed it to Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Ping'an took "Prepare My Answers" and put it in his sleeve like a treasure. Although he has read this book hundreds of times in modern times, he has never read the original version.
"Although the martial arts examination was canceled last year, by the divine grace, General Qi and all the martial arts examinations that participated in the defense of the capital were awarded the same Jinshi origin in recognition of their merits. Because of General Qi's outstanding performance , the Ministry of War transferred General Qi to Ji Guard the door. There must be an urgent military situation in Jimen today, and General Qi will come back to report."
Li Chunfang glanced outside and saw the closed door of Yan Song's office, and her forehead wrinkled slightly. eyebrows, and then looked calm again.
Although Li Chunfang's frown was small and fleeting, Zhu Pingan still noticed it and knew it well. Of course, Zhu Pingan would not be stupid enough to point it out.
"Oh, by the way, Zihou asked me about General Qi, yes..." Li Chunfang seemed to have suddenly thought of it, and turned to look at Zhu Pingan and asked.
"Just now I saw General Qi being suave and heroic, and I was curious." Zhu Pingan touched his nose and smiled.
"Haha, that's it. If there is an opportunity in the future, Zihou and I will introduce him." Li Chunfang smiled and nodded. (End of this chapter)
