Chapter 98: The Mighty Ming Army
Since Qi Jiguang served as the lieutenant general of Taizhou, Jinhua and Yanzhou.

He reorganized military affairs, trained troops to resist the Japanese pirates, and used the Mandarin Duck Formation to repeatedly defeat the invading Japanese pirates.

but.

At this time, no one knew that the anti-Japanese army led by Qi Jiguang was not limited to the Mandarin Duck Formation.

As Qi Jiguang's order to change the formation was passed down.

The officers and soldiers of the Qi family army who charged into Huajie began to change their formation from the Mandarin Duck Formation to the Yin-Yang Formation according to their previous training.

The Liangyi formation continued to attack.

Then change into the Three Talents Formation.

The wolf-whip soldiers, long spear soldiers, and rattan shield soldiers combined long and short weapons, formed a tight formation, and the attack became more compact and agile.

In the streets and alleys, the Qi family army, who were using the Three Talents Formation, accelerated their offensive and became even more powerful.

Zhu Shitai, who was thinking of Li Yun's half-bloody body, was also in the army, holding a rattan shield and a long sword, and fought hard to kill.

There were more and more dead bodies of Japanese pirates lying on the ground.

Although Qi's army had been marching all night and was hungry, they became more and more courageous as they fought.

Only half an hour.

The Japanese pirates who had entered the Red Street could no longer hold on.

Finally, there was a total collapse.

As Qi's army charged, the Japanese pirates began to flee frantically.

At this time, Qi Jiguang's order for a full-scale pursuit also arrived.

Even though the number of fleeing Japanese pirates at this moment still far exceeded that of Qi's army that had arrived at Huajie, no one in the army was worried.

The sun is shining high.

Outside Taizhou Prefecture, the war was raging in Huajie Town, with thick smoke filling the sky.

The sound of Qi's army chasing and killing shook the world.

Even at the Gualin River, countless Japanese pirates who escaped from the Flower Street had no choice but to jump into the river to save their lives in panic.

But as a result, countless Japanese pirates drowned in the river.

The remaining scattered Japanese pirates were no longer a force to be reckoned with and fled far away, making it difficult for Qi's army to pursue them.

Military orders to withdraw and assemble also began to come from the central army.

Outside Flower Street.

The surging river covered up countless corpses of the Japanese pirates, burying them under the river and becoming food for fish and shrimp.

Zhu Shitai looked at the slaughtered Huajie and saw Qi Jiguang passing through Huajie Town.

He raised the long knife in his hand, put it between his left arm, clamped his arm, dragged out the long knife, and wiped off the blood on his body.

Then, Zhu Shitai raised the long sword high, and the blade reflected the light.

Zhu Shitai raised his arms and shouted.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

Zhu Yu, the captain of the team that had fought thirteen thieves in Huajie today, followed closely behind: "The Ming army is mighty!"

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

In the blink of an eye, the entire army outside Huajie shouted.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

Da da da.

Outside Huajie Town, from the direction of Taizhou City, cavalry were marching rapidly.

Xu Wenbi led him to the front of the battle.

Hearing the Ming army's shouts, Xu Wenbi smiled and quickened his pace to the outside of Huajie.

"General Qi."

"Our fire battalion has prepared the food."

"Please invite your comrades into the city and have some food."

……

"Qi Jiguang led his troops into the city and ate food, but it was not full. He received news that another 3,000 Japanese pirates were approaching Taizhou. Qi Jiguang threw away his bowls and chopsticks, left 200 soldiers to guard Taizhou, and personally led 1,300 troops out of the city to fight the Japanese pirates, winning a great victory!"

Changping.

Half a year had passed, and the disaster at the beginning of the year had quietly disappeared from Changping.

Factories are rising from the ground one after another. The fields are leveled and houses are under construction.

Far away from villages and towns, on the open space between mountains, the Changping School, which had been planned for a long time, has begun to take shape.

The lackey Yan Hu spoke enthusiastically about the news he had just received.

Yan Shaoting sat on the hillside on the southeast side of Jiashan Mountain, looking at the end of the mountain on the northwest side.

Go over the opposite side of the mountain and you will find the imperial tomb.

On the northeast side of this place, there is an earthen reservoir under construction. In addition to water conservancy construction, it is a source of power for the future development of smelting and forging.

Seeing Yan Hu recounting the whole process of Qi Jiguang's battle in Huajie, Taizhou Prefecture, Yan Shaoting withdrew his gaze.

"How much did Qi Jiguang's troops gain in this battle? How much did they lose?"

I heard my young master ask this.

Yan Hu's face turned even redder, as if he was a combatant.

Yan Hu said in high spirits: "Qi Jiguang's troops, the Zhejiang Command, and the Governor's Office of Zhejiang reported to the Ministry of War that they had killed more than a thousand enemies, beheaded 308 people, captured two Japanese leaders, and recaptured more than 5,000 captured civilians. Qi Jiguang's troops suffered 115 casualties in the battle."

Yan Shaoting looked up at Yan Hu: "What about the news we got?"

Yan Hu chuckled and glanced around: "Qi Jiguang's troops have not annihilated the enemy, but only three people were killed in the battle, and less than ten were seriously injured. The rest are strong enough to fight again."

Yan Shaoting smiled. This was the real data he had learned about Qi Jiguang’s battle in Huajie.

He looked at Yan Hu and asked, "Do you know why the Zhejiang Governor's Office, the Zhejiang Provincial Commandery Office, and even Qi Jiguang reported more than a hundred casualties?"

In the prime minister's residence.

Yan Hu is no ordinary person, this point is clear as day.

He whispered, "I'm afraid those gentlemen in the Ministry of War won't believe us and think we are reporting false achievements."

Yan Shaoting sneered and shook his head: "People just don't believe in the extraordinary achievements of fierce generals."

Yan Hu advised, "Qi Jiguang led 1,500 soldiers and fought against an enemy several times his size. It is rare for him to achieve such a feat. I heard that the Ministry of War was also very satisfied and was preparing to report to the Western Garden to commend Qi Jiguang. But the Ministry of Revenue seems to have some complaints, as they seem to have no money to give out rewards."

It has only been a short while since Yan Maoqing set out on his journey south.

It will take some time to get back the money from the salt administration and southeastern commercial taxes.

The imperial court and the Ministry of Revenue are out of money now.

It's just normal.

Yan Shaoting looked down at the Changping Academy under construction on the hillside.

It seemed that they had heard that this academy was built for the children of disaster victims, so from the very beginning the disaster victims in Changping would bring some food and water here from time to time to give to the craftsmen who were building the academy.

The half-grown children also took advantage of this time to run over and run around.

It seemed that they were all looking forward to the early completion of the academy. By then, they would be very satisfied even if they just lay outside the window to listen to the lectures, as long as they were not driven away by the academy and the teachers.

Seeing Yan Shaoting remained silent for a long time, Yan Hu speculated in a low voice: "Young Master, are you going to get money for the court again? How much money have you gotten for the court this year? If you continue like this, you might as well be the Minister of Revenue."

"Do you really think your young master is the God of Wealth?"

Yan Shaoting glared at the lackey and then stretched out his legs.

Yan Hu squatted down in a servile manner, stretched out his hands and carefully patted his young master's legs.

Yan Shaoting leaned back slightly and said, "Go back to the city and find Lu Yi later."

Yan Hu nodded and asked, "Looking for Young Master Lu?"

"Tell him that it was me who said that. Ask him to report the true results of this battle of Qi Jiguang's troops to Xiyuan."

The blue sky and white clouds, swaying with the breeze, floated in front of Yan Shaoting's eyes as he looked up.

"what?"

Yan Hu let out a cry and even stopped what he was doing.

Yan Shaoting stood up, glanced at Yan Hu, stretched out his leg and kicked him.

"If you are asked to do it, just do it."

"Then release the details of Qi Jiguang's battle in Beijing."

Yan Hu, who was kicked, slapped his kicked thigh randomly and stood up.

"I will go back to the city and do what the young master has asked me to do."

Although I don't understand why the young master does this.

But as long as it is what the young master wants to do.

That is absolutely correct!
