Throughout the dynasties, military books were taboo. After Wang Anshi's political reform, he reopened martial arts, and the imperial court published the "Seven Books of Martial Arts" for teaching purposes. But let's take a look at what the Seven Books of Martial Arts contain.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Wu Zi's Art of War", "Six Tao", "Sima Fa", "Three Strategies", "Wei Liao Zi", "Li Weigong Questions and Answers".

These military books are all strategic. If you can read these military books familiarly, you may be able to become an armchair strategist. As long as you are not exposed to actual combat, you will not find any problems.

But when it’s time for you to lead the troops into battle, you’ll be dumbfounded. How should you maintain formation during the march? How should you arrange the camp for rest at night? No court is willing to reveal these tactical and detailed things easily. If you learn how

What should we do if someone follows what is written in the book and rebels? If you learn these details, you will really know how to fight.

As soon as Wang Shao saw the name of this book, he immediately realized that it was a truly useful military book, especially for people like him who planned to go to the northwest frontier to make contributions; now these are the secrets of training, marching, and setting up camps.

It is all in the hands of a few people such as the generals in the northwest. Without Li Wen, father and son passed it down secretly. It is not easy for outsiders to get a glimpse of it.

Although he was a Jinshi, he had read a lot of military books, and even tried his best to get some know-how, but he had no chance to study systematically. Now Shen Long took out this book, which could be said to be a timely help.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest." Wang Shao subconsciously looked around and found no outsiders before putting it down and preparing to read the book. But when he saw the author behind the title, he was stunned again, "Dare to ask Priest,

Who is this famous general Qi Jiguang? Please forgive Shao for his ignorance, but he has never heard of it."

Qi Jiguang would not be born for hundreds of years. It is strange that you have heard of it. Shen Long smiled and said, "There is no rush in this matter. Zichun should study first and see if this book works." He didn't give up for the time being.

He planned to reveal his origins to Wang Shao, as long as only Wang Anshi and his son knew about it.

In terms of actual military exploits, Qi Jiguang may not be as good as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other famous founding generals of the Ming Dynasty. However, in terms of military theoretical achievements, Qi Jiguang is definitely the first person after the Song Dynasty. Even including the Song Dynasty, no one can surpass him.

After all, "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" was a fabrication by Jin Yong, and there is no such thing in history.

So when he decided to send a book to Wang Shao, Shen Long thought of Qi Jiguang. Between "New Book of Jixiao" and "Records of Military Training", Shen Long chose the latter. "New Book of Jixiao" was written by Qi Jiguang during the war against Japanese on the southeast coast.

A summary of his experience in military training and running the army, while "Military Training Records" is his experience and experience while defending Mongolia in Jizhen.

The main enemies of the Song Dynasty were Xixia and Khitan, not pirates. Comparing the contents of these two books, "Military Training Records" is more suitable for Wang Shao.

"Come, drink and watch!" Shen Long took out a bottle of ancient Yue Longshan rice wine from his sleeve, took out two wine bowls, and poured a glass for Wang Shao. Wang Shao was already dead now, so he just thought it was Shen Long.

He has the ability to hold everything in his sleeve.

After thanking him, Wang Shao picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. He didn't have time to praise the good wine, so he looked through the catalog. However, he saw in the catalog that the first place was training in martial arts, the second place in courage training, the third place in training ears and eyes, and the third place in training hands and feet.

Four, the fifth training camp (field drills), the sixth training camp (camping), the seventh training camp (camping), the eighth training camp (battle engagement), and the ninth training camp; Attached is the sixth miscellaneous collection

Volume 6: General Theory of Chu Lian (Part 1 and 2), Baojian when the general is appointed, dictation from the altar, explanation of military weapons, explanation of chariots, steps, and cavalry formations.

All of them are the secrets of the generals of the Song Dynasty. No, these are even more complete than the experiences of the Zhong family, Yao family and Zhe family in the northwest who have gone through bloody battles and paid countless lives for several generations; as for the Gao family in Kaifeng City , it’s hard to say whether the secrets of generals like the Pan family have been lost.

The text of "Military Training Records" is straightforward and precise, and it takes little effort to read. Shen Long chose a drawing book. Each page has exquisite drawings to correspond to the text content, allowing people to understand Qi Jiguang's meaning more intuitively. Wang Shao immediately saw that the author of this book was definitely genuine.

"General Qian, General 100, captain, and corps commander, this kind of military system is quite different from that of the Song Dynasty." Wang Shao didn't finish half of his words. Of course, he could see that this kind of military system is more conducive to command. But this kind of thing is not something that can be said casually. The Song Dynasty had a deep understanding of the importance of generals in leading troops. If people heard him talking about the military system, he would probably not have the opportunity to lead troops.

Since Taoist Shen is familiar with the yamen of Bachelor Jiefu's family, he may be able to give him a hint and let Mr. Jiefu take charge of the military reform. It is well known that Wang Anshi is interested in reform and reform, and Wang Shao also knows something about it. .

"Archers, gunners, swordsmen, swordsmen... Such a combination is enough to make the cavalry afraid to approach." Looking at the formations given by Qi Jiguang and comparing them with the schematic diagram next to them, Wang Shao quickly understood the benefits and weapons of these formations. "Whether it's the Khitan or the Xixia, they don't dare to fight head-on when they encounter our Song Dynasty infantry forming a battle formation. But now this formation is more flexible than our Song Dynasty's military formation. It can be large or small and can be attacked." Keshou..."

After admiring, Wang Shao had new doubts, "May I ask, sir, what is the use of this musket? What kind of weapon is the musket? What is its use?" The ancestor of firearms, the musket, was not invented until the Southern Song Dynasty. , Wang Shao certainly didn’t know what the fire gun was for.

"Oh, this is an ordnance that is quite similar to the Divine Arm Bow, but the range is shorter, only a hundred steps." In the Song Dynasty, one step was about 1.2 meters, and the Divine Arm Bow had a range of 240 steps." However, the power of the fire gun is not weaker than the divine arm bow at all, and it is much less labor-intensive than the divine arm bow. You will not feel tired even if you shoot dozens of times in succession."

Whether it is a divine arm bow or a bow and arrow, it takes a lot of effort to string the string. The average soldier will not have the strength to draw the bow after one round of shooting, but the fire blunderbuss is different. This is also one of the important reasons why muskets replaced bows and arrows.

"Furthermore, it is easy to practice with a fire gun. If you want to become an archer, you have to practice it for several years. A fire gun player can be trained in a few months." This is another advantage.

"If the Song Dynasty had a magical weapon, why worry about the Khitan being unjust?" Wang Shao looked at Shen Long with gleaming eyes, "I wonder if I have such a magical weapon? Can I let Shao know something about it?"
