Chapter 49: Give Qi Jiguang an earl
Zhang Juzheng asked You Qi to pass the message to Qi Jiguang. Qi Jiguang already knew that Wang Chonggu was going to bring the few officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp who had collided with him.
Qi Jiguang felt it was unnecessary. It was just a few words, so why go into such a big fight?
Qi Jiguang said quite accurately: "It's just a trivial matter. There are many discords between the border troops and the Beijing army. The admiral, the commander-in-chief and the governor-general can handle them according to the military law."
Qi Jiguang meant, The Beijing army was responsible for letting people live, and handling them with sticks and batons. It was all the responsibility of the Beijing army to give people a lifeline, whether to hit them harder or harder, and how thick the cushions should be. So he stopped watching.
There are many distinguished Qi in the capital camp who have really beaten people to death. Qi Jiguang, the commander-in-chief of the border army, is afraid that there will be more enemies in the court. The current Duke of Cheng Guo Zhu Xizhong , Governor Wang Chonggu, was immediately offended. After all, these people were their people.
Zhu Xizhong smiled a little. Face is given to each other. Qi Jiguang is willing to give this face, and everyone will have face in the future.
"Qi Shuai is a true gentleman." Wang Chonggu couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the hundreds of households and several general banners, kicked them hard, and said sternly: "Why don't you thank Qi Shuai Rao'er quickly?" Waiting for the dog’s life!”
“Thank you, Grandpa Qi, for your life!” Baihu knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. Although he couldn’t move due to being tied up, he still finished the kowtow. The madness in front of the city gate was completely gone.
They had no idea that they would make such a big move. They had bullied the frontier troops when they came to Beijing before.
Chen Dacheng, the general of the Southern Army who followed Qi Jiguang back to Beijing, felt unworthy of his commander. How could he let these people go so easily? If he came to Beijing again in the future, the gang would still cause trouble.
However, the Qi family's army has strict military discipline and the duty of soldiers is to obey. He did not object to Qi Jiguang's approach.
Qi Jiguang chose to forgive the two general banners and three soldiers of Baihu. He was very generous. He did not want the soldiers to fight against each other, which would be detrimental to the Ming Dynasty and inconsistent with his aspirations.
When the curfew arrived, Qi Jiguang heard the news.
Wang Chonggu beat the man to death.
The following offenders have one hundred sticks. These hundred sticks are used firmly and without anything on them. It only takes ten sticks to kill someone, but with skillful use and cushions, it can also be done. It's just loud and can't kill anyone.
"Is the person dead?" Qi Jiguang joined Chen Dacheng. After hearing the news, he immediately clenched his fists.
Wang Chonggu, a civil servant, did not want peace between the Jingying camp and the border troops at all, so he directly beat people to death. In the eyes of everyone in the Jingying camp, this showed that Qi Jiguang had no courage!
"Alas." When Qi Jiguang heard the news, he felt a little sad for a moment, and all his emotions turned into a heavy sigh, with unbreakable sadness in his sigh.
He is indeed Commander-in-Chief Qi in the Three Towns. No one dares to disobey orders. His military discipline is extremely strict and he can fight and win.
The army is filled with conflicts between the north and the south.
He brought six thousand Southern soldiers, who were his right and left hands, but Jizhou, Shanhai, and Yongping were all Northern troops. When the Northern troops looked at the Southern soldiers, they felt that the Southern soldiers were Qi Shuai's executioners and governors. Troops, Executioners.
On the other hand, the southern soldiers saw the northern army as lazy, disrespectful of military discipline, and lax in their armaments. The conflict between the north and the south also had many differences in customs, accents, habits, daily life, etc., and the conflict was extremely fierce.
The army is filled with serious conflicts between soldiers and soldiers.
In the Ming Dynasty, soldiers specifically refer to volunteer regiment training, that is, the three thousand volunteers recruited by Qi Jiguang to quell the Japanese were recruited soldiers; and the army is a military household, a guard soldier, and a hereditary farm.
For Qi Jiguang's recruitment, the military pay was three cents and three cents of silver per daily ration. If he was marching, the food would be one cent and two cents of silver. The military salary consumed in a year was about eighteen taels of silver. Qi Jiguang personally paid this part Keeping an eye on him was the basis for ensuring military discipline. If he was paid enough, he could win the war.
The military pay for hereditary military households is based on the Wei system. This is a way to get rich by drinking the blood of soldiers from the generals down to the flag. Qi Jiguang tried to investigate and fight corruption several times, but all ended in vain and lost people and wealth. The road is like killing parents.
The hereditary military households watched the volunteer southern soldiers enjoy the good life and drink hot food, and received eighteen taels of silver every year. They naturally held grudges and did not worry about the imbalance of disadvantages. Before, everyone suffered hardships and could not see it. What, I suddenly realized that I could still serve as a soldier, and conflicts immediately arose. The conflicts between soldiers were complicated and difficult to resolve.
The army is full of armament contradictions. The Southern soldiers received a large amount of silver bounties for defeating the Japanese. Part of these silvers were turned into armaments due to frequent battles. The armaments in these three towns were slack, and they used The cannons used by the soldiers were made during the Yongle period, and the soldiers from the south and north naturally clashed with the bird cannons used by Yi Shui during daily practice.
A variety of contradictions influence each other, check and balance each other, and promote each other. In the end, the contradictions become irreconcilable. Therefore, even the military regards Qi Jiguang as a wart, superfluous and useless.
But now, Wang Chonggu has killed one hundred households, two general banners, and three soldiers of the Beijing camp with his stick. This relationship has been completely closed. In the future, there will be another conflict between the Beijing camp and the border army.
Under this contradiction, can Qi Jiguang still win the battle? This is a person with military talent. On the battlefield, he can really do whatever he wants.
Qi Jiguang believes that all conflicts are not problems. As long as we can win the battle and keep winning, the conflicts will be directed towards the enemy instead of facing ourselves.
In the early morning of the next day, the haze of the past few days was swept away. The sun jumped out from the east and sprinkled the morning light on the earth, bringing the capital and Beitucheng out of their slumber.
People in the suburbs of Beijing began to work in the fields with hoes and poles on their backs. The gates in the city slowly opened, and the streets became noisy, with shouts coming and going.
The steamer in the breakfast shop is steaming, and the breakfast vendor is busy making tea soup, moving flexibly to prevent the soup from spilling.
The storyteller in the teahouse was telling legendary stories. The stories had twists and turns and were moving. Occasionally, the camera was photographed, which attracted bursts of applause from the audience. Just when the story was getting interesting, the storyteller suddenly stopped and listened to the next chapter. , causing lots of boos.
Qi Jiguang changed into court clothes early in the morning and rode to Desheng Gate with his general Chen Dacheng. Desheng Gate is a military road. Qi Jiguang should enter the city through Desheng Gate when he returns to Beijing.
Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Yingjie, the left minister of the Ministry of War and the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Wang Daokun, the right minister of the Ministry of War and the censor of the right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, cheered in front of and supported each other, leading a group of courtiers to the front. Come and greet.
Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang were old acquaintances, and they worked together to fight the Japanese in the south. In the north, Tan Lun was the military governor of Jizhou, and Qi Jiguang was the chief military officer of Jizhou. The two worked together very well. Qi Jiguang dismounted and greeted each other, and then the group changed cars and drove along Desheng Gate to the imperial road on Chang'an Street on the left. When they arrived in front of Chengtian Gate, Qi Jiguang got off the car and drove into the imperial city and entered the doorway.
Suddenly enlightened.
Wen on the left and military on the right, both sides of the square were filled with officials and military officials from the capital. Tiqi, wearing flying fish uniforms, carrying embroidered spring knives and hooks and spears, stood upright along the road, solemnly and solemnly.
The melodious sound of horns came and the sound of war drums resounded in front of the Huangji Hall, and the musicians of Taichang Temple began to play music and dance.
Qi Jiguang walked step by step to His Majesty Jiulong Dan, waiting for the emperor's announcement.
Zhu Yijun was going to the Huangji Palace for morning worship for the first time. He got up at the fourth watch. It took him two quarters of an hour just to put on his clothes. He carried the sun and moon on his shoulders in a custom-made crown suit for the ten-year-old master. The twelve chapters of Yanfu and twelve crowns are the emperor's formal attire.
This dress is troublesome to put on and troublesome to take off. It must be worn whether it is to offer sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple. Zhu Yijun himself cannot put on this set of clothes. He has to be carefully served by the maids. There are more than ten kinds of accessories hanging on his body.
Thanks to Zhu Yijun's usual steps, which are square and steady, otherwise, these hanging ornaments would make noises when they collide with each other.
Morning bells and evening drums, at five o'clock in the morning, the bronze bells in Jingyang Tower began to wake up the entire capital under the impact of the firemen, while the opposite side of Jingyang Tower began to beat drums, inspiring people's minds.
The Ming Dynasty followed the Tang system. In the morning, the bell was sounded first and then the drum. During the curfew, the drum was played first and then the bell.
Zhu Yijun came to the Huangji Hall, and the dragon chair was carried to the platform. Zhu Xixiao swung his whip, and the ministers began to enter the hall. Just after they stood still with three cheers of long live, Qi Jiguang had already arrived under the Jiulongdan Majesty of the Huangji Hall.
The time is just right.
Lu Shusheng, the Minister of Rites, did not mess with the etiquette system. Since the court discussion has been passed, if he makes trouble again, he will be asking for trouble.
Zhu Yijun sat up straight and said calmly: "Shuai Xuan Qi."
"Xuansan Town Chief Military Officer Qi Jiguang comes to see you!" Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and eunuch in the Huangji Hall , when he heard the emperor speak, he immediately stood up straight and shouted loudly.
The two teams of young eunuchs standing in front of the Huangji Palace kept shouting His Majesty the Emperor's oral instructions loudly, and passed them to four, eight, and then sixteen and thirty-two people. He shouted the emperor's Tianyu Lunyin loudly for several times.
Qi Jiguang raised his hand, lifted up his hem, climbed up the stairs, and stepped into the Huangji Hall step by step.
"Qi Jiguang, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, Yongping and Jizhou, pays homage to your majesty. Long live your majesty, long live your majesty!" Qi Jiguang bowed five times and kowtowed three times as he entered the hall, shouting "long live" three times.
"Qi Jiguang, the chief military officer of the three towns, accepted the order." Feng Bao flicked his fly whisk and took two steps forward. Two small yellow doors opened one foot long and one foot wide, with a black rhinoceros horn shaft and auspicious clouds. The imperial edict of Zuikaku Aya Nishikori.
“The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, the edict says:”
"I use Liang De Fang to practice the position of great treasure in Chong Nian. I am always afraid of betraying the trust of my ancestors and the support of all the people. However, the most important thing is to inherit the ancestral temple and consolidate the ancestral temple and the country. The foundation of the ancestors is the most important. I work hard and night without fear. Kekan, thanks to the common plan of the civil and military relatives, to transform the relationship between Li and the people, and to have a happy break with the people."
"Since Renyin, I have never asked for tribute and market. The country wants to stop the army and pacify the people, but it is sincere in its intention, but it does not cultivate the actual practice of war and defense and prepare for it. The barbarians and horses drink in the suburbs, and the smell of killings and smells is heard in the city gates. Then they threaten with troops and ask for help, and I respond with ruse. , wouldn’t it be humiliating to accept the money from the city’s alliance?”
“The emperor heard that Jiguang’s scriptures, Wei and Wu, were both resourceful and courageous; he could win people, know people, love people, and control people. He discussed with the courtiers and issued edicts. Qing's capital is Ji Liao, and he specializes in training border soldiers. "
"Now I heard that Dong Hu was knocking at the pass to ask for rewards. Qing set up ambushes at Beigukou, Jiangjun Tower, Sister Tower, and Xifengkou, and defeated Duo. Dong Fox, the leader of Yan Wei, made a remarkable first contribution of 2,500 yuan. He defeated the traitors and captured Dong Fox's nephew Buha alive and brought his weapons back to the capital. I am very pleased to have defeated the Northern Captives."
" , the right commander of the Central Military Governor's Mansion and the crown prince's Taibao, discussed the merits of pacifying the Japanese and resisting the enemy, and moved to Anbo, with a salary of 800 shi at the age of 18. His loyalty can only be learned from heaven."
"Tired! The imperial court established a constitution and offered benefits to the world. "
"I admire this"
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I love you."
Qi Jiguang kowtowed again and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness."
The Huangji Palace was a little quiet and scary, because His Majesty the Emperor took the cold shoulder and unexpectedly granted Qi Jiguang the title of Qian'an Bo, although he did not grant him the title of Qian'an Bo. It’s a worldly thing, but it’s enough to scare people.
Who ordered this? Is it Zhang Juzheng doing it for his lackeys?
What is His Majesty the Emperor going to do?
Is His Majesty the Emperor going to rebel?
“If you have something to do, leave early to play, if you have nothing to do, roll up the curtain and leave the court.” Feng Bao flicked his fly whisk and shouted loudly.
Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, took a step forward and then took it back. Whoever wants to object can object, but Tan Lun is not prepared to object anyway.
Yang Bo, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, looked left and right, with a complex look on his face. Finally he shook his head, took a step forward and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have a script to start this memorial."
These scholars Ah, my mind is really dirty! Asking for all support, woohoo! ! !
