The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

He obviously had a good card in his hand, but Chongzhen and others abruptly turned him into a shit card!

At the beginning, a small group of troops was sent to suppress, but it failed, and people were given heads.

Then send the middle class troops, and go to send experience.

In the end, a large number of troops were sent, 15 came to the Battle of Songshan, but each of them squandered their own, each with a trumpet, each played a tune, cheated his teammates, and was made dumplings by others.

Later, I found that I couldn't control it, so I started to repair the turret and the line of defense, and sent Yuan Chonghuan there.

As a result, Yuan Chonghuan finally killed Nurhachi, and was slaughtered by his own emperor...

The level of wild boar skin is getting higher and higher, constantly evolving, Daming's influence is getting lower and lower, and his reputation has been ruined, making the Northeast follow Nurhachi's rebellion.

The most amazing thing about Nurhachi is that the locals are familiar with the terrain, and they drill gullies to fight guerrillas, which is really awesome.

It can be expected that if Yan Song was furious at this time and sent the elite troops to Liaodong, Nurhachi would definitely not fight head-on.

If he was so stupid, how could he defeat the 597 elite of the Ming army in the Battle of Songshan?

He will definitely drill the ravine and fight guerrilla with Yan Song!

Consume your own elite, fight guerrillas with Nurhachi, hide and seek, give experience, and upgrade the enemy in the cold and poor mountains and rivers of the northeast?

Yan Song would not make such a foolish mistake.

If you don't fight, then don't fight. If you want to fight, you must do your best and mobilize millions to destroy the country!

"So, in the current situation where we don't plan to have an all-out decisive battle with Nurhachi, building the Great Wall to temporarily block Nurhachi's southward path is the most cost-effective."

Yan Song said seriously.

Many generals fell silent.

After persuading everyone, Yan Song turned to Qi Jiguang with a smile: "Yuan Jing, I have heard that you have a lot of ideas about building the Great Wall? Have you thought about the idea of ​​building a hollow Great Wall?"

Qi Jiguang was shocked.

How did you know?

Everyone listen, the Great Wall is hollow?I wipe?Are you sure this isn't a typical shabby project?

When it comes to building the Great Wall, the rulers of all dynasties, of course, feared that it would not be strong enough, so they built the Great Wall in solid form, hoping to make it as impregnable as gold.

Hollow?

is it possible? .

Chapter 1707 Building the New Great Wall [3]

Qi Jiguang was completely shocked.

He only came up with the idea of ​​"building a hollow Great Wall" when he was stationed in the north recently and walked up the Badaling Great Wall when he was fighting against Altan Khan.

When it comes to Qi Jiguang, many people know that he is good at fighting Japanese and training soldiers, but they don't know that Qi Jiguang has contributed a lot to the defense of the Great Wall in history, especially the strengthening of the defense ability of the Great Wall in Jizhen.

This guy, when he was stationed in the north of Beijing, presided over the construction of the Great Wall at Huangyaguan, Xiongguan, Jibei. It starts from Malanyu in Zunhua, Hebei Province in the east, and ends at General Pass in Pinggu, Beijing in the west. The total length is 82 li, and there are 52 enemy towers , 14 beacon towers.

In the third year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty (1568 A.D.), Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Jizhen, wrapped bricks and overhauled it, and built a hollow enemy building.The hollow enemy towers and masonry walls designed and built by Qi Jiguang pushed the architectural level of the Great Wall to the highest peak, making the Huangyaguan Great Wall the best preserved among the Great Walls.

Qi Jiguang has been in Jizhou for 16 years, and he has achieved the most brilliant page in his military career.The Great Wall of Jizhen is "the soldiers are fine and the city is a hero, and the momentum is connected for two thousand miles".The defense force of the Great Wall has been greatly strengthened.During this period, Duoyan, the great feudal lord of Mongolia, invaded Jibei, but was killed by Qi Jiguang.Since then, Jizhou's first-line frontier defense has been impregnable.

Hearing Yan Song asking himself, Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice: "Old Yan Ge, my lords, when Qi Jiguang was stationed in Beijing, he did carefully inspect the northern Great Wall. Mongols' armed attack. Moreover, although there are some small masonry platforms on the old Great Wall, these small platforms have no connection with each other. They can neither hide soldiers nor store weapons. , it will be difficult for the defenders on the stage to stick to it, which is not conducive to fighting."

Everyone listened.

This is the first time they have heard that the Great Wall in the north has structural problems and cannot effectively contain the Mongols' attack.

Reminiscent of how the Mongols broke through the Great Wall defenses many times in the past, invaded the hinterland of Ming Dynasty, and besieged the capital, everyone suddenly realized.

There are also many loopholes in our Great Wall of Feelings.

In fact, it was also the first time that Yan Song knew that the current Great Wall of Ming Dynasty was just some bunkers!

Instead of the Great Wall he saw in later generations.

This is fucking cheating.

Just the bunkers on the mountain, once they are besieged by the Mongols, there is indeed only one dead end.It's just how long it lasts.

Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the border wall of Ji Town extends for two thousand miles, and if one flaw is flawed, all the strength will be flawed. It will be useless compared to repairing the ruins in the next year! Please cross the wall as a platform and look down on all sides. The height of the platform is five Zhang, there are three floors in the void, with hundreds of people living on the platform, with armor and batters and food. Let the soldiers draw the land to work, and build him first, twelve hundred 〖‖!"

Yan Song nodded again and again, the majestic Great Wall that later generations saw, stretching for thousands of miles, was originally designed by Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang took out a blueprint, pointed Jiangshan, and said in a deep voice: "However, it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to build a solid Great Wall among the mountains and mountains. Therefore, I suggest that the city walls be divided into first, second, and third grades. The city wall covered with bricks on both sides is the first-class side wall, the city wall covered with bricks on one side is the second-class side wall, and the stone city is the third-class side wall. Lookout holes and perforations were set up according to the distance and terrain conditions, and thunderstone grooves were built on the outer city walls in some areas, which greatly strengthened the defense capability!"

"Will your so-called hollow Great Wall lose its strength?" Hu Zongxian insisted on making things difficult for Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang shook his head and said with a smile: "While strengthening the city walls, hollow enemy towers were built. The so-called hollow enemy towers are divided into three layers: base, hollow and top tower. This is a book I wrote! It tells how to build hollow towers. Great Wall!"

He took out a book and dedicated it to Yan Song.

Yan Song took it over and took a look. This is "Miscellaneous Records of Military Training" written by Qi Jiguang!

In this book, Qi Jiguang has such a record about the hollow enemy tower: "The hollow enemy tower is built today, and it will block the passage of people and horses. Its system: the height ranges from three to four feet, the surrounding width is twelve feet, and there are seventeen to eight feet. And so on. Where the rushing place is tens of steps or a hundred steps, there is one set; if the slowing place is at four, fifty steps, or two hundred steps, it is a set. The two sets correspond to each other, rescue each other from left to right, and stand on the wall."

"The method of building the platform: build the foundation at the bottom and the side wall is flat, and the outside is more than one foot, four or five feet. There is an opening in the middle, arrow windows on all sides, and a tower is built on the top, surrounded by crenels. The enemy. The enemy's arrows cannot reach, and the enemy's cavalry dare not approach. There is one commander in each station, and he is in charge of dispatching the attack."

Yan Song was surprised.

Qi Jiguang is going to write a book about it?
