Chapter 697: Dare to speak but dare not listen, and someone entrusted him

"Although Senggedu Gulen married the third lady, there were also conflicts at the beginning. The Altan tribe may not be a solid piece. The Korqin tribe and the divisions outside the pass had colluded or fought, but they did not stabilize. Now the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty have excellent soldiers and horses. I am strong and the enemy is weak. This is a good opportunity to eliminate the great troubles."

Zou Yi's eyelids drooped and he said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Qi, but I will report all the words of my elders to Master Long live."

The Altan tribe mentioned by Qi Jiguang had already subdued the tribes on the grassland from west to east, from south to north, and were known as the most powerful overlord on the grassland since Genghis Khan. During the Jiajing period, more than 50,000 cavalry were mobilized several times to invade and approached the capital several times.

Because the Korqin tribe relied on the various divisions outside the pass, it had the benefits of trade and the small tribes came over, and the continuous population replenishment and gradually became stronger. Despite the failure of Gubeikou, more than 10,000 cavalry could be mobilized.

The Ming Dynasty had a major military camp with over one million soldiers and horses, and it was possible that they could fight only one tenth of them. To reach the level that Qi Jiguang said, the Ming Dynasty had to mobilize most of its war soldiers to go out of the frontier. This was a battle of the country after Chengzu's Northern Expedition and Yingzong led 500,000 people to personally expedition.

Such a battle will certainly be a great achievement, but it will be famous in history. What should I do if I lose? It is easy to say that failure on the battlefield will be overturned. When the country falls, it will be a collapse of heaven and earth.

Zou Yi was calculating in his heart, his face was also indifferent, but Wang Tong's eyes were a little brighter. He had seen the cavalry on the grassland twice. The soldiers and horses everywhere in the Ming Dynasty were very unbearable and had been spoiled by this intermittent and peaceful season. What about the Tartar cavalry on the grassland?

Now the troops in Ji Town are strong, and the Huwei Army is constantly expanding and strengthening. In addition, the tens of thousands of subordinates of the Li family in Liao Town, as long as these three families work together and do not even need the participation of other border towns, you can try the plan mentioned by Qi Jiguang.

Wang Tong just lowered his head. He and Zou Yi came to represent Emperor Wanli. He could not express his emotions too obviously. Zou Yi looked indifferent, and Wang Tong lowered his head again, but Qi Jiguang could not see their reaction.

"Ji Town is well-equipped, and Li Chengliang also raises good soldiers in Liao Town. But I am like this. If I am not here, I will inevitably be abandoned slowly. Li Chengliang is also indulging in wealth and honor. I don't know if his sons can defend those soldiers. After these years, there will be no more fighting, and it is difficult to guarantee that any heroes will appear among the Tartars. By then, the situation will reverse, and it will be a different situation. By then, I will not be able to worry about this."

After talking for a long time, I just took this opportunity to fight against Mongolia, completely defeat the enemy on the grassland, and win decades of peace for the Ming Dynasty.

But neither Zou Yi nor Wang Tong would say a single opinion on this matter, nor did anyone know if the walls were heard. If it was leaked, I don’t know how big the matter would be caused.

"Is this what Lord Qi said? Please rest assured, our family will definitely report what Lord Qi said just now, "Long live the emperor."

The house had already prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone. When Zou Yi heard this, he took out a memorial from his arms and recorded it quickly. After Qi Jiguang finished speaking, he was a while later to finish writing.

When you leave the palace to do a job, you are ordered to do a job. No matter who is inside and outside the palace, what you are most disgusted with is that you encounter such a situation today. It is a huge thing to dare not interrupt. This is nothing. After recording it, you will listen to it and remember it. This will be a little more involved. Even if Chen’s comments come forward, it will not be clear.

When Zou Yi heard these things, he naturally would not feel happy. He had already expressed his feelings of farewell. Qi Jiguang had been proficient in the way of being an official for nearly forty years and had deducted military pay to Zhang Juzheng to give gifts. Moreover, Qi Jiguang seemed to not understand what Zou Yi said, and just said with a smile:

"After the matter reported to His Majesty, there are still a few private matters to be entrusted."

After saying this, Qi Jiguang took out a square bronze medal from his arms. He was about to say hello, but he laughed at himself, threw the bronze medal on the table, and said with a smile:

"The habit developed by Jizhen made you laugh?"

Wang Tong stretched his head and looked at it. There was a tiger's head on the bronze medal, which was quite exquisite. Zou Yi smiled and said with a smile:

"This is a tiger card, we have heard of it in the capital."

Qi Jiguang smiled, but Zou Yi turned to Wang Tong and explained:

"Mr. Qi enforces the orders in Jizhen. Any important matters in the orders must be handed over to the messenger with a tiger card. Those who receive the orders will not see the tiger card, and the messenger can be killed. Moreover, the tiger card will be replaced every month and will be created by Master Qi's own craftsmen. It is usually impossible to imitate."

"Eunuch Zou laughed. Jizhen is a key to the border town. He dare not neglect anything. When he goes to Guangdong, he will not need to hang it in his house as a thought. However, I still treat it as a marching force on the way south and keep this tiger sign for use."

Qi Jiguang said calmly, Wang Tong smiled and treated him as a veteran's self-deprecating. Qi Jiguang shouted outside, a strong young man walked in, the man dressed up in, and walked in with his own soldiers with his eyebrows down.

"Mr. Wang, this is my personal soldier Qi Wu. I have good skills on the battlefield. My other personal soldiers and guards have followed me for many years. I am older and are used to each other and are reluctant to leave. However, this child is only seventeen this year. He learns his skills and cannot waste it with me. He wants to find a future for him. If Lord Wang doesn't dislike him, let Qi Wu be a guard or go to the Jinyiwei Guard. It is better to be a tyrant with the Huwei Army in Tianjin than to be miserable with me."

Wang Tong encountered many things about entrusting people to himself, but he didn't expect that Qi Jiguang had said such amazing advice just now. Later, this happened again. He was just a personal guard, and he could stay with him in too many places to be placed. Moreover, the young warrior who could make Qi Jiguang value so much is always outstanding.

Wang Tong looked at Zou Yi on the side, but Zou Yi had a smile on his face for some unknown reason, which was quite strange. Wang Tong shook his head and ignored it, and said with a smile:

"Since Lord Qi said that, Wang is not as respectful as he should. Please rest assured. If Qi Wu is really capable, Wang will protect him from his background. If he does not have the ability, he will have enough food and clothing for his whole life."

"Since that's the case, I'll thank Lord Wang."

Qi Jiguang nodded with a smile, picked up the teacup and signaled. Wang Tong felt quite strange. Qi Jiguang's identity and status were all here, just arranging a personal guard. It was just a matter of raising hands. Why do you have to thank him so formally? Zou Yi next to him had already stopped smiling, but Qi Jiguang turned his head and said to Qi Wu:

"Xiao Wu, you will be Lord Wang's entourage in the future. But you must do your best to do things. Don't go wrong. You lose the people of Jizhen and my face. Do you know? Go and meet Lord Wang quickly."

When Qi Wu heard this, he knelt down, kowtowed to Wang Tong a few times, and said:

"I have met Lord Wang."

"Well, pack your luggage later and follow me to go back to the city."

Wang Tong nodded and said, Qi Wu agreed, but after getting up, he knelt down to Qi Jiguang, kowtowed more than a dozen times in succession, and said with a little crying voice:

"Please take care of the general, Xiao Wu can't serve you by your side."

Qi Jiguang nodded in a deep color, but Qi Wu was crying when he got up. Wang Tong frowned, thinking to himself, why did a great man cry? He thought, maybe this was because Qi Jiguang was unparalleled in the world in governing the army, and his personal soldiers and guards were loyal and loved him. This was reluctant to let go, but it was too awkward.

Qi Wu left the tent, and Qi Jiguang seemed to have nothing to worry about. He let out a long sigh. After saying that, he entrusted the person again. In just a moment, he seemed to have grown a few years older, and he became much weaker when he spoke again. He stood up from his seat and said solemnly:

"Qi received great grace from the late emperor and the current emperor, guarded Jizhen and commanded the border troops. Although he could not come to Beijing to meet the saint today, he would also pay a far-reaching blessing to fulfill his duties as a minister."

After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed towards the direction of the imperial city of the capital, and Zou Yi and Wang Tong also stood up.

On the way back, Wang Tong and Zou Yi were not as relaxed as they came. After coming out of the station, they were a little silent. After walking for a while, Zou Yi said with some dissatisfaction:

"Isn't this Qi Jiguang just wrote these words to Chen, but he just wanted you and my brother to listen to them. He took care of the relationship for nothing. This job was done."

Wang Tong shook his head and said with a smile:

"Qi Jiguang is also a smart person. If these words fall on paper, the censors will not drown him. Not to mention being the general of Guangdong, it may not be possible to be a soldier in Guangdong. However, Qi Jiguang is loyal to the state affairs and is willing to take risks to say these words, which is considered his sincerity. Brother Zou doesn't have to worry. These words are just for His Majesty."

Zou Yi shook his head with a wry smile, glanced back, and said to Wang Tong with a smile:

"Brother Wang, you have heard the allusions of Qi Jiguang's fear."

"Are such a famous general still afraid of his wife?"

"Why aren't you afraid? This is a joke in the world. It is said that Qi Jiguang's soldiers and horses were specially armed in order to give him courage, and then asked his wife to watch the formation. They wanted to scare the woman. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qi Jiguang came but was not afraid. He asked Qi Jiguang what this meant. Qi Jiguang didn't know what to say in a hurry, so he had to say 'I specially invite the wife to parade'."

After Zou Yi finished speaking, Wang Tong was stunned. The two of them laughed. Unexpectedly, such a general had such a thing. Zou Yi said again:

"I'm afraid of being like this inside, but Qi Jiguang has two houses outside. Now the children are not young, so his wife has no choice but to admit it."

Wang Tong shook his head when he heard this, but he wondered in his heart whether Zou Yi used this to persuade him to get married, but Zou Yi said there:
Chapter completed!
