Chapter 583: Unlimited Summoning Again (Introduction)

"Ding! The unlimited random summoning card is being used. The system will give a list of five characters. Please remove two and randomly summon one of the remaining three."

"Summoning, host, please wait a moment"

"Ding! Unlimited random summoning of the first person, bloody battle to annihilate the Japanese, great strategy to resist the invaders - Qi Jiguang, command 97, force 99, politics 86, intelligence 90."

Ok?
I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope the sea will be peaceful, right?

Or he was a famous general who fought against the Japanese in the early days...well, he was a famous general who lived a good life during the war against the Japanese.

Qi Jiguang was born into a general's family. He was rebellious and unruly in his youth and got into trouble frequently. Fortunately, his strict father and mentor guided him step by step and helped him become a man of both civil and military talents. He went to Beijing to take the military examination and made friends with Zhang Juzheng, the future prime minister. Amid political disputes, the CPC planned the national maritime strategy.

Together with the famous general Yu Dayou and his think tank Xu Wenchang, he wrote the legendary military strategies, innovated weapons, broke the traditional anti-Japanese tactics, forged the Qi Family Army, and won the first national war to wipe out the Japanese pirates.

The 4,000 new troops who followed him at the beginning were able to "fight one against a hundred" within just a few months and became an effective force in fighting against the Japanese pirates. They were called the "Qi Family Army."

From then on, "Qi's Army became famous throughout the world."

In addition to infantry, Qi Jiguang also trained a powerful navy.

The Qi family army's naval ships mainly include the Fuchuan, Haicang and Changwi. Each of the three ships has its own strengths and weaknesses and they work together in combat.

In addition, two small boats, Kailang and Wangchuan, were equipped for communication and reconnaissance. The navy was organized into five battalions: left, right, front, back, and center. Depending on the enemy situation, they could attack in a dispersed manner or join forces to besiege.

The training of the navy greatly enhanced Zhejiang's coastal defense capabilities.

Qi Jiguang was a romantic and handsome man who loved reading. He inherited the position of commander of Dengzhou Guard and joined forces with Yu Dayou and others to fight against Japanese pirates for more than ten years, wiping out the Japanese pirates that had been causing trouble for many years and ensuring the safety of life and property of the people along the coast.

It guarded the north and fought against internal aggression by Mongolian tribes, thus ensuring the security of the northern territory and promoting the peaceful development of the Mongolian and Han nationalities.

Relying on his military achievements, he was successively promoted to the positions of Left General, Junior Guardian and Prince Taibao.

Throughout his life, he wrote many famous military books, including the 18-volume Jixiao Xinshu, the 14-volume Lianbing Shiji, and the Zhizhitang Collection.

At the same time, Qi Jiguang was also an outstanding weapons expert and military engineer. He modified and invented various fire attack weapons. The large and small warships and chariots he built made the Ming army's amphibious equipment superior to that of the enemy. He also creatively built hollow enemy towers on the Great Wall, which could be used for attack or defense. These were all very distinctive military projects.

Qi Jiguang also created a new battle formation specifically for this feature. When fighting against the Japanese pirates, this formation looked like a pair of mandarin ducks traveling together, so it was named "Mandarin Duck Formation".

This formation, which consists of twelve people as the basic combat unit and combines long and short weapons to assist each other, can be changed according to the terrain and combat needs.

The flexibility and maneuverability of this formation just suppressed the Japanese pirates' advantages.

After Qi Jiguang led the "Qi Family Army" to practice the "Mandarin Duck Formation" method, they dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese pirates in the battle against them.

The Japanese pirates who once lived a good life in the coastal areas are now crying for their parents, it is so miserable.

"Ding! Unlimited random summon of the second person, one of the Three Greatest Heroes of the Late Song Dynasty - Wen Tianxiang, Commander 93, Military Strength 68, Political Strength 98, Intelligence 94."

Everyone is mortal since ancient times, but this is the last loyal hero of the Southern Song Dynasty who left his loyalty to shine in history!
In the fourth year of Baoyou reign of Emperor Lizong of Song Dynasty, the 21-year-old Wen Tianxiang ranked first in the imperial examination and became the top scholar.

He was once in charge of the military weapons supervisor and the Quanzhi Academy. He was reprimanded for his outspoken criticism of the eunuch Dong Songchen and his ridicule of the powerful Prime Minister Jia Sidao. He experienced ups and downs several times and asked himself to serve as an official at the age of thirty-seven.

In the first year of Deyou, the Yuan army marched south to attack the Song Dynasty. Wen Tianxiang spent all his family wealth to recruit soldiers to serve the king. He was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang West and Jiangdong and concurrently the governor of Pingjiang Prefecture.

When rescuing Changzhou, he retreated to Yuhang due to internal discord. He was later promoted to Right Prime Minister and Privy Councilor, and was ordered to negotiate peace with the Yuan army. He was detained for rebuking the Yuan commander Bayan, and escaped on the way to the north.

Soon after, he participated in the enthronement of Prince Yi Zhao Bing as emperor in Fuzhou, and then went to Nanjianzhou to gather troops to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.

In the second year of Jingyan, he attacked Jiangxi again, but was eventually defeated and retreated to Guangdong due to his isolated situation.

In the first year of Xiangxing, after Prince Zhao Bing of Wei succeeded to the throne, he was appointed Shao Bao and granted the title of Duke of Xin.

He was later captured at Wupoling and taken to Yuan Dadu, where he was imprisoned for three years. Despite repeated threats and inducements, he remained steadfast and refused to yield.

The following year, the Yuan capital was shrouded in dust and sand.

Wen Tianxiang, dressed in a red prisoner's uniform, walked calmly, faced south, bowed three times, and waited for his execution.

When his body was being buried, his wife, Ouyang, found his last work, "Self-Praise", stained with blood between his clothes:
"Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Mencius said to pursue righteousness. Only when one has fulfilled his righteousness can one achieve benevolence..."

After reading it, Ouyang said with tears in her eyes: "My husband has not betrayed his country, how can I betray him?"
She buried her husband and then committed suicide in front of his grave.

He was posthumously awarded the title "Zhonglie" in the Ming Dynasty.

Wen Tianxiang wrote many articles expressing loyalty, indignation and generosity throughout his life. His poetic style changed during the Deyou period, becoming bold and vigorous, and can be regarded as a masterpiece of poetry.

In particular, the "Song of Righteousness" he wrote before his death is still popular today.

"Ding! Unlimited random summon of the third person, the loyal, filial and martial king - Xue Gang, command 93, force 103, politics 80, intelligence 69."

Xue Gang, the protagonist of "Xue Gang's Rebellion against Tang", is the grandson of Xue Rengui, King of Ping Liao, and the third son of Xue Dingshan, King of Liang Liao. He is nicknamed Tongcheng Tiger.

The sworn brotherhood at Jiajialou seems similar to the Peach Garden Oath, but it created the tragic character Shan Xiongxin.

He went from being the most influential figure in the Green Forest Road to being the lone prisoner on execution ground. All of Shan Xiongxin's brothers and friends abandoned him and became subordinates of his enemies, and the executioner was also his sworn brother.

As the reincarnation of the Azure Dragon Star, he was furious and reincarnated as Gai Suwen, a powerful enemy of the Tang army. With his superb martial arts, he killed his sworn brothers in Jiajialou. But when he was about to kill his greatest enemy Li Shimin, Xue Rengui, the first generation legendary figure of the Xue Family Generals, not only stopped him, but also defeated him and killed him in the battle.

Although Xue Rengui was famous all over the world, he transferred Shan Xiongxin's hatred to the Xue family. Xue Gang, the son of Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua, was the reincarnation of the Azure Dragon Star Gai Suwen (there is also a version that he is the reincarnation of the Five Ghosts Star Yang Fan).

Xue Gang learned martial arts from his parents since he was young. With his great strength, he was nicknamed "Tongcheng Tiger" in Chang'an City.

Later, he went to Shaohua Mountain to burn incense and fulfill a vow on behalf of his mother Fan Lihua. In Shaohua Mountain, he met a famous teacher, and Xue Gang followed him to learn art for the second time. For three years, Xue Gang got up early and practiced late at night, and his 120-jin pole was

He has mastered the 10-foot-long steel spear to perfection, and his pair of steel whips are even more sophisticated.

Perhaps it was because of the calamity of the Azure Dragon Star, Xue Gang, an upright man who loved to stand up for the weak, got into great trouble as soon as he came down the mountain.

In order to save a common woman, he chased after the bully, but accidentally injured the third prince, causing Emperor Gaozong of Tang to fall from a building and die unexpectedly.

Xue Gang escaped under the guidance of Cheng Yaojin, and the city of Chang'an fell into chaos.

First, Wu Zetian seized power and executed all 300 members of Xue Dingshan's family. Then, the entire family of Qin Ying, a descendant of Qin Qiong, and the entire family of Luo Zhang, a descendant of Luo Cheng, were also implicated and killed. Most of the descendants of many other famous officials of the Tang Dynasty were persecuted.

It can be said that the reason why Xue Gang rebelled against the Tang Dynasty was due to the various grievances and hatreds between the Azure Dragon Star and the White Tiger Star.
