"The young master is worthy of being a general, and this battle can be recorded in the military books." Yang Rong was not stingy with his words of praise.
Three thousand tiger and wolf-like Japanese pirates gave the coastal guards a headache, but they were led into a urn by Xu Qin and annihilated in one fell swoop.
Not only solve the disaster, but also frighten the enemy.
Such a battle almost killed two or three envoys. Haifansi's soldiers only suffered more than a dozen injuries, half of which were accidentally sprained.
Two others were injured by fire cannons due to improper operation.
No one believed Wang Timur's battle report when it arrived in the capital, but Zhu Di believed it. Because Jin Yiwei also sent the news immediately.
These three thousand heads are not adulterated at all, they are all real Japanese pirates.
Zhu Di was sure about this. Xu Qin, the little monkey, actually gave him a big surprise, and also gave the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty a big surprise.
Then Xu Qin's memorial arrived, a thick volume. Only then did the cabinet and the six ministers know the details.
Moreover, according to the second verification by the Ministry of War, the military exploits were exactly the same as those of Wang Timur. Xu Qin did not falsely report his military exploits.
In other words, Xu Qin fought a war in which he annihilated three thousand enemies and suffered zero self-loss. This incredible comparison of war casualties has not been found in history books.
Based on the battle report provided by Xu Qin, Zhu Di launched a sandbox and repeatedly rehearsed the war.
They finally determined that with the fortifications and bunker trenches built in Xuqin, coupled with the range and power of the fire cannons, the Japanese pirates' defeat was not unjust at all.
It would be impossible for any famous general in the Ming Dynasty to defeat Xu Qin in this state. All are dead ends.
Although Yang Rong was a civilian official, he was responsible for formulating Gansu's defense against the Mongolian tribes, so he could naturally see the importance of this battle.
Xu Qin's battle report was written in great detail. He even brought a map of the entire Liujiagang, as well as the bunkers and fortifications he had laid out.
Start by making this plan yourself, how to use the Dai family, and the changes that occurred during it. The Japanese pirates arrived earlier than expected, so the situation was explained clearly.
Fortunately, he did not completely believe in Dai Deqing. He had long suspected that the Dai family could no longer control the Japanese pirates, but he never expected that variables would appear in Dai Dehai.
From the time when Japanese pirates enter the port, the layout of guard posts and the use of fireworks to communicate, and then how to use the surrounding buildings and bunkers to fight street battles with Japanese pirates.
Use the deep fire coverage of firecrackers, grenades, and artillery to attack the Japanese pirates, then focus the fire to kill the leader with a sniper, and finally encircle the Japanese pirates on three sides.
Almost every step is how to command, how to convey orders, and how to use muskets and artillery in coordination. Everything is written down in detail.
What he wrote was not a report, but a tutorial on thermal weapons positional warfare. He was afraid that these antiques from the Ming Dynasty would not be able to understand it. In fact, he really underestimated them.
Which is no more than his manager's war. They are all experienced old foxes.
"I'm still a little timid, and I still need more experience."
Zhu Di looked at the thick battle report, which was like a book, and couldn't help but be fascinated. If he were in Xu Qin's position, how would he direct this battle?
"There is no other way. The main reason is that there are too many new soldiers. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to win in a field battle. However, I think that the young master has the qualifications to be a famous general..."
British Duke Zhang Fu said happily.
"It's just a tortoise strategy. He's not a wise general. He can at most control a hundred households." Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, said disdainfully.
He looked down upon this style of fighting, hiding in a turtle shell and bullying others, which was not fun at all.
The British Duke knew that he was speaking out of anger and did not argue. He believed that Zhu Di had a more accurate judgment.
"Your Majesty, if there is such a construction method combined with fire cannons, it will be difficult for ten times the enemy to break the city if it is used to defend the city.
This is a fighting method that has never been seen before. I would like to ask if there is a fighting method if you fight in the wild..."
Jin Zhong, Minister of War, put forward his own conjecture.
"Your Majesty also thinks so. If Beiping, Gansu, and Shaanxi have such fortifications, with firecrackers mixed with bows and arrows, defense will not be a problem." Yang Rong said in a timely manner.
Yang Rong's strategy is to defend and assist, first defend and then look for opportunities to attack the enemy.
"Sure enough, he was right..." Zhu Di recalled what Xu Qin had said to him.
Xu Qin boasted when he drank too much that the transformation of firecrackers and the use of gunpowder would inevitably change the way war is fought. The amount of gunpowder will inevitably increase greatly, so attention should be paid to the reserve of gunpowder.
At that time, Zhu Di thought he was just talking big words after drinking too much. Zhu Di realized the importance of firearms, but it was impossible to change the way war was fought.
But through this nearly one-sided massacre, Zhu Di discovered that firearms were more important than he imagined.
However, if we want to equip it on a large scale, we need to further explore.
Zhu Di suddenly smiled. This boy turned out to be the person who knew the most about firearms in the Ming Dynasty. Maybe firearms in his hands would really change the way of war.
As for famous generals?
He thought of Huo Qubing. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a champion. Could it be that God also sent me a champion?
No, he is a champion monkey, a monkey that jumps up and down.
"Don't just praise him. He invited you to the urn, and he was almost beaten. If he hadn't been blocked and caught by me that morning when he couldn't sleep, why would he be talking about annihilating the enemy?"
Zhu Di said and glanced at Ji Gang.
In the memorial, Xu Qin not only explained in detail his method of fighting this war, but also impeached Ji Gang.
"I asked Jin Yiwei to send people to eliminate the spies, but he was almost caught. Jin Yiwei's corpse is in a state of plain view. I suggest that Ji Gang be replaced."
Xu Qin vented his anger in the memorial. Ji Gang was innocently shot.
It was impossible to replace Ji Gang. This dog was relatively easy to handle, but raising another one would be too laborious and there was no suitable candidate.
But it's okay to curse. Jin Yiwei has become more and more slack in his work recently.
After the important ministers of the cabinet left, he called Ji Gang to the study.
"What information do you have about Xu Qin's almost being kidnapped?" Zhu Di asked with a gloomy face.
Ji Gang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and thought to himself, isn't this nonsense? Where do I know the news?
He causes trouble everywhere every day, and I'm not a bodyguard. But he didn't dare to say that to Zhu Di.
"Your Majesty, I didn't know it beforehand, but I received news afterwards that the person who did this was Dai Dehai, the eldest son of the Dai family.
It was he who attracted the Japanese pirates. He also arranged the attack on the young master's residence. "
Ji Gang whispered.
"You mean it was Xu Qin's own fault? Leaving aside this matter, how many of the smuggler's spies did you find out?"
Zhu Di asked, staring at the dog.
Ji Gang's face twitched, thinking that damn Xu Qin knew how to find trouble for me. How could His Majesty be confused by him?
"Your Majesty, the time is too short. There are only a few threads that haven't been wiped on the back. Who is it?" Ji Gang replied with a trembling voice.
Because at this time he had already concluded that His Majesty was angry.
"Be careful. I won't hear anything about Xu Qin anymore. Send more capable people." Zhu Di said coldly.
Ji Gang exited the imperial study room in a cold sweat, muttering to himself as he walked.
What does it mean to send more capable people? Is this blaming me for not being careful? He Xu Qin is causing trouble everywhere and I still want to protect him?
This Jin Yiwei commander was really frustrated. Since you gave birth to me, Ji Gang, why give birth to him, Xu Qin? Ji Gang sighed in frustration.
But he still has to do what needs to be done. He must increase his surveillance of Xu Qin, and His Majesty's orders must be carried out to the letter.
Xu Qin's victory had a lot of impact and completely changed the fate of many people. Especially in brothels.
No one expected that this former brothel bully would really kill without blinking an eye. After one battle, only more than 70 Japanese pirates were left alive out of 3,000.
He is worthy of being a general's tiger. Although he likes the libertines who play around in brothels, once he gets serious, his murderous aura emerges.
Yingtian Mansion no longer has the young master, but the legend of the young master still exists. And from time to time, he always announces his existence in a fierce way.
Taking advantage of the young master's victory, the brothel became lively again. The topic of the young father-in-law is everywhere.
I don’t know who gave Xu Qin a couplet:
The first couplet: Drunk in a brothel and the entrance hall of Hua Kui is one hundred. The second couplet: Open your eyes and kill three thousand Japanese pirates. Horizontal comment: Invincible in both bed and bed.
Yu Linglong, who was originally in full bloom, was about to expire and was immediately replaced by the new oiran. She was already packing her things as she was ready to quit the world.
As a result, because Xu Qin became popular again, all the courtesans who had been sexed by Xu Qin became inexplicably popular.
Many people want to compete with their young father-in-law in bed.
Forget about comparing poems, the young master’s level is a bit unpredictable. As for the martial arts competition, forget it. It was said in the previous paragraph that the young master was the best marksman, but it was still a joke.
Now it seems that it may be true.
The literary ones are not good, and the martial arts ones are even less good. You can only compete with those who are sexy, but you can probably compete in brothel kung fu, mainly because there is no danger.
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.
Xu Huizu has been in the ancestral hall for a day, and his mental state has been in a trance. As if sleepwalking, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying.
"Father, father, am I not dreaming? My son, your eldest grandson actually killed three thousand Japanese pirates in one battle."
Xu Huizu murmured to himself about the ranking of his father, Zhongshan King Xu Da, as if he believed it but also didn't believe it.
In the end, he just giggled, as if it was all a dream, but his thighs were bruised, and he finally confirmed that it was all true.
"I thought he would be rich and settled in this life. Who would have thought that he could achieve this? He is much better than my son. You have a spirit in heaven to protect him."
Xu Huizu kowtowed to the ranking and prayed devoutly.
Then there is a big banquet for the guests. The good things from the house are brought out and the guests are invited to eat. I drank drunkenly every day.
At this time, the entire Duke of Wei's mansion was crowded with guests, and those who had left began to fawn over and wanted to come back.
Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, had long seen through the warmth and coldness of human relationships. He simply wanted to show off. As for the affairs of Duke Wei's palace, he didn't care at all.
If you want to take refuge, go to my son Xu Qin.
