Obviously, Guangjiqi has not experienced the fear of being dominated by Amway.
As for the name Yuanyang Formation, there is no doubt that he has never heard of it.
"Mandarin duck formation?" Guang Jiqi asked curiously.
"Forget it if you haven't heard of it." Fang Bie shook his head and said. A gentleman does not take away the beauty of others. Telling Guang Jiqi the principles and composition of the Yuanyang Formation to show off is not Fang Bie's hobby.
This is the same as copying poems to show off after traveling through time, with a slight sense of guilt.
"However, even if General Guang goes back like this, are you sure that you can defeat the Japanese pirate team led by the Japanese swordsman?"
"It is composed entirely of elite Japanese Ronin. Ordinary soldiers are not the enemy of the opponent at all."
Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said seriously.
This is the most serious problem facing Guang Jiqi.
Yan Jiusan's words of "three captures and three moves" have been released, but if he thinks about it carefully, Guang Jiqi doesn't have any magic weapon to turn around and win.
Guang Jiqi's expression suddenly became solemn when Fang Bie asked him such a sudden question. He thought seriously for a moment, then looked at Fang Bie and shook his head: "Not really."
"The officers and soldiers at Shiping Guard Station have been trained by me for a year. They are more capable than ordinary officers and soldiers. However, after the Japanese pirates attacked, they were completely defeated."
"Even if I am not punished for this trip, most of the officers and soldiers newly assigned to me will not be able to use them well, and it will be difficult to quell the Japanese rebellion." Guang Jiqi said sadly.
The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
But many times it is precisely because you know yourself and the enemy that you understand how slim your chances of winning are.
"I thought General Guang was really a military god, able to win impossible battles." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said with a smile.
Guang Jiqi shook his head and said: "A clever woman can't make a meal without rice, and there are no smart and capable soldiers at her disposal. No matter how outstanding a general is, he has no chance of defeating a pack of wolves while leading a group of sheep."
"Unless you give this general a year to train new recruits?" Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said.
"Yes." Guang Jiqi nodded and admitted, "But I don't have a year, let alone a year, I don't even have a month."
Because the current Japanese pirate rebellion is imminent.
Although it was said that Japanese pirates invaded before, they killed people for money and killed birds for food. Usually when Japanese pirates invaded the border areas, they usually burned, killed, and looted wherever there was plenty of oil and water. They also used a large number of Han people to pretend to be Japanese, and the foxes and tigers pretended to be powerful, causing huge damage in the surrounding area. In addition, when the government was encircling and suppressing people, most of them would go to sea to escape by boat. The sea was vast and the officers and soldiers could not fly with wings, so they could only look at the ocean and sigh.
But this time, after this group of Japanese pirates came ashore, they directly chose to attack the nearby imperial guardhouse, almost destroying the entire Shiping Guardhouse. This is really puzzling when you think about it carefully.
"The actions of this group of Japanese pirates this time are extraordinary. They are more targeted and planned than before. I am always afraid that after attacking Shiping Guards Station, they will not be satisfied and may do something even more outrageous. Things will cause a bigger commotion." Guang Jiqi said thoughtfully.
Yan Jiu also told Guang Jiqi about this. He said that their stay here was far from the end, it was just the beginning.
It would be fine if Guang Jiqi was directly dealt with by military law. If Guang Jiqi was lucky enough to survive, then sooner or later the two people would meet in this land.
So Yan Jiu was just waiting for Guang Jiqi to fall into the trap.
Thinking about this made Guang Jiqi very unhappy.
But there is really nothing we can do.
At this point, the problem is said to be at a deadlock.
"So if that's the case, will General Guang still choose to return to the city to renew his post?" Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said, "To be honest, we also have to go to Yingtian Mansion."
Yingtian Mansion was the seat of the governor of Liangjiang and the remaining capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
As a commanding officer, Guang Jiqi is actually a fourth-grade military attache. It is just that Guang Jiqi's official position is hereditary, and he is not promoted by his own evaluation of military merit. He is too young. Although his rank is high, he does not have specific real power. He was just an officer of the Shiping Guard. This time, the whole army of the Shiping Guard was almost wiped out. If Guang Jiqi went back to debrief his duties and ask questions, of course he would also have to respond to Tianfu.
"The responsibility lies." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie and said seriously: "You, on the other hand, have openly disclosed the identity of your hive to me, and I am on your hive's assassination list. Why don't you choose to kill me?"
"Aren't you afraid that after I respond to Tianfu, I will retaliate and arrest you all?"
"Even if you have great martial arts skills and run away early, a monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple. At least I want to keep this ship."
"General Guang is such an open-minded person." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said with a smile.
In fact, many words just need to be thought about in private, but if stated openly, they have lost their meaning.
Fang Bie once studied an article by Mozi, which talked about Mozi and Gongshu Ban practicing siege. Gongshu Ban Jiu set up opportunities to attack the city, but Mozi refused. Gongshu Ban's siege weapons were exhausted, and Mozi was especially good at it.
So Gongshu Ban said to the King of Chu that I know how to deal with Mozi, but I can't tell him.
Mozi smiled and said, I know what the Gongshu Ban plans to do to me, but I won’t say anything.
The King of Chu was confused by the riddle between the two men, so he took the initiative to ask what the two men were doing.
Mo Zicai said that the way the Gongshu Ban wanted to deal with me was to send people to kill me when I returned.
But I have already asked my disciples to learn all my methods of defending the city, and they are already standing guard there. Even if they kill me, it will not help, but will ruin the reputation of the king.
After hearing this, the King of Chu was convinced and gave up the idea of attacking Song.
What does this incident mean?
After Fang Bie read this article about Mozi, he only had one thought in his mind, that is, Mozi and Gongshu Ban were more like colluding.
After all, Mozi had made it clear in his book that Mozi first went to see Gongshu Ban, and after convincing Gongshu Ban not to attack the Song Dynasty, he asked Gongshu Ban to introduce him to the King of Chu. The two of them faced the King of Chu, and Gongshu Ban was defeated. , and then asked Gongshu Ban to take the initiative to clarify the thoughts in King Chu's mind, so that even if King Chu originally had the intention to kill Mozi, now that he was exposed, he would not be able to do anything to Mozi.
And it's the same now. Originally, if Guang Jiqi wanted to deal with Fang Bing, the best way was to quietly enter the village without shooting, ask Fang Bing to take him to Yingtian Mansion, and then report him on the spot. After all, the hive was also They were regarded as public enemies of the imperial court, and their threat ranking within the imperial court was no lower than that of Japanese pirates.
Guangji Qi lost his harvest of mulberry trees in the east corner. Although he was defeated by the Japanese pirates, he was still good at attacking beehives. As long as he captured a few people from Fang, even if he couldn't catch them, he couldn't hide in such a big ship. Taking the boat is also a great achievement. The so-called making up for one's faults, doesn't this mean making up for one's faults?
"Brother Fang treats me with the heart of a gentleman, why should I treat Brother Fang with the heart of a villain." Guang Jiqi said with a smile: "Not to mention that you are really helpful to me, and since you are willing to do everything to me, Guang told me frankly, why should Guang repay kindness with enmity?"
"Besides, you are all martial arts masters. If I really do this, as you said, how can we resist external humiliation if we are at war with each other?"
"Since I chose to attack you, when you come to kill me, I'm afraid the original burden in your heart will be gone."
Guang Jiqi was unhurried and talked eloquently. After these remarks, even Xue Ling was a little impressed with Guang Jiqi. After all, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his thoughts were clear. Being friends with such a person is probably really important. Something comfortable.
"In this case, we are in the same boat for the time being?" Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said with a smile, "In this case, I have a few words to say to the general."
"Brother Fang, please speak. I am all ears." Guang Jiqi said immediately.
Fang Bie smiled and said: "I'm all ears, nothing to talk about. It's just some gossip about Japanese pirates."
"General Guang must have seen more Japanese pirates than I have."
"Let me say something first. The Japanese pirates have excellent weapons and skillful sword skills. Compared with the Zhou Dynasty, General Guang feels that they can't compare?"
Guang Jiqi pondered for a moment: "I heard that the cavalry outside the Great Zhou Dynasty are well-equipped and well-trained. If the Japanese invaders invade outside the Great Wall, they will be nothing more than local chickens and dogs."
After all, the Iron Cavalry outside the Great Wall was set up to deal with the invasion of the Oara people. The real lions who fought in hundreds of battles were also the most elite forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Unlike the southeast coast, which had been at peace for a long time, singing and dancing were peaceful, and armaments were weakened, so When Japanese pirates invade, they can only do nothing and wait for death.
"But if the imperial court mobilizes cavalry from outside the Pass to clear out the Japanese pirates in the southeast, and is led by a general, does the general think there is any hope of defeating the Japanese pirates and returning the Qingming Festival to the southeast?" Fang Bie continued.
Guang Jiqi shook his head: "The grassland outside the pass is endless and vast, and the cavalry can gallop at will. However, on the southeast coast, there are seven mountains, two rivers and one field, dense water networks, and rugged roads. When the cavalry arrives here, they are tied up and unable to do anything. If If you dismount and fight on foot, you will take the initiative to use your own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths, just like trapping a cat's limbs and mouth to let it catch mice. Not only will the mice not be caught, but your own life will be in danger."
"So in the general's opinion, the Japanese pirate rebellion in the southeast is already unsolvable?" Fang Bie continued to ask.
Guang Jiqi shook his head: "The Japanese pirates are in chaos, and it is not as cold as a day. There are many reasons for the Japanese pirates to be in chaos now. To be specific, Governor Hu Beizong, who is in charge of the southeast, needs to weigh the pros and cons. I will introduce a small When you join the army at a young age, you can only be responsible for fighting."
Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi: "This is not the Governor's Mansion of Liangjiang, and the person in front of you is not Governor Hu Beizong. If you have any ideas, you can say it here, but it doesn't matter."
Guang Jiqi nodded: "The root cause of the Japanese pirate rebellion lies in the Japanese rebellion."
"Actually, this time, the Japanese swordsman has already told me. He said that the Japanese world is in chaos now, and all the heroes are competing together, and the outcome is unpredictable. I don't know who will win."
"The source of the Japanese rebellion lies in the Japanese rebellion. Therefore, a large number of samurai choose to travel across the ocean and become Japanese pirates to make a living. Although the imperial court wants to communicate with the Japanese emperor and hopes that the other party will control these Japanese pirates, now the Japanese emperor is just a facade. They are puppets and have no way to order the daimyo under them, and for the emperor, these samurai ronin are also a trouble for them. If they can be eradicated with the help of the Great Zhou, why not do it."
"If they can pull out all the stops and the Japanese side can stabilize, they will naturally be able to restrain those ronin warriors. At least when the Zhou Dynasty wants to negotiate with the Japanese side, they will have a suitable negotiation partner."
"This is fundamental."
"As for the second point, it is about the need for maritime trade."
"Objectively speaking, I personally don't think the maritime ban is a good move. However, since this is a national policy formulated by Grandpa Taizu, it cannot be changed for so long and can only be implemented."
"The profits from maritime trade are too high. China's silk, porcelain and tea can often be sold for five times the price in the West. These may be some unsalable goods at home, but they are luxury goods in short supply overseas. Besides silk, In addition to porcelain and tea, spices, gold, and silver, which are relatively scarce or precious materials in the country, can also be continuously transported from overseas. If the imperial court can make good use of trade channels instead of simply doing tribute business, then it is possible The annual trade tariff revenue can reach about 30% of the original tax revenue."
"Don't underestimate this 30%. With this 30% tax revenue, the imperial court's currently stretched financial situation will definitely be greatly improved."
"This is a bit far-fetched. It is always the conflict between the needs of maritime trade and the prohibition of the imperial court, which ultimately gave birth to a deformed monster like Wang Zhi."
"Wang Zhi was originally from Huizhou, an out-and-out Han Chinese. I once studied Wang Zhi's information. He was originally a serious businessman who went to Japan to traffic goods. Of course, he was not a serious businessman when he went to sea, but compared with now Compared with the Pirate King Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi at that time was really serious and could not be more serious."
"In the first ten years of his life, Wang Zhi was a serious businessman traveling between Japan and China. He made a lot of profits, was recommended by others, and got to know famous Japanese people."
"Because Japan also needs Wang Zhi, a big businessman, to provide him with various needed materials and sell the output of his territory."
"So it gives Wang Zhi a lot of convenience."
“If there is such a thing as primitive accumulation, then this is Wang Zhi’s original primitive accumulation.”
"But business on the sea is originally a business with your head tied to your belt."
“On the one hand, it’s the blow from the court, and more importantly, it’s the squeeze from my peers.”
"The initial piracy actually happened more between each other's merchant ships."
"So Wang Zhi was initially motivated more by self-protection. He joined an armed smuggling gang headed by his hometown Huizhou and began to initially get involved in the smuggling and piracy business."
"And at this time - the imperial court has actually set its sights on this."
"A major siege is about to begin."
"At this time, Wang Zhi is still ignorant and doesn't know it."
