Qi Jiguang ruled the army strictly, but treated the soldiers with kindness and generosity. He invented the light cake, with a hole in the middle and strung with rope, so that the army had rations and the soldiers would not starve.
The results of the light cake tasting were all happy and praised by everyone. Qi Jiguang was so happy, taking three steps and two steps, anxious to tell Mrs. Qi this good news. In fact, the idea of light cake comes from Qi Jiguang, but how much flour and how much water, how to grill out of the fragrant, tough, moderate taste of light cake, but Qi Lady once again after the study made, no wonder has been passed down to today, even if not in the army, light cake is still popular.
"Everyone praises the delicious food, and this is all due to madame." Qi Jiguang sincerely thanked his wife.
Mrs. Qi herself took a cake and chewed it in her mouth: "I think it is quite fragrant myself." The general's love for the soldiers is indeed touching. ”
Qi Jiguang said: "When I was a child, my father taught me to read the Art of War of Sun Tzu, which said that if you treat a soldier as a baby, he can go to danger with you; you treat a soldier as a beloved son, and he can die with you. I now deeply appreciate the meaning of this sentence. ”
"I'll accompany you to take care of the baby's son!" Mrs. Qi said with a smile.
Qi Jiguang is a great national hero in Chinese history, and his wife is also the soul of the military like Han Shizhong's wife, Liang Hongyu. Although Madame Qi did not go to the battlefield, she was a nanny nurse in the army, and the soldiers loved her.
Usually, when marching, carrying military dependents is the biggest taboo, because with worries, the sergeant does not dare to kill the enemy bravely. But wherever Qi Jiguang went, Mrs. Qi followed, and her appearance encouraged Qi Jiguang to be more courageous.
Lady Qi did not come to enjoy the blessings, Qi Jiguang's personal diet took care of the washing of clothes, although It was Lady Qi who arranged it, and most importantly, It was Lady Qi who took on the responsibility of nursing in the army. As long as there are injured patients, Mrs. Qi not only personally comforts her, but also concocts soup medicine and becomes a military medical worker.
Sometimes Qi Jiguang couldn't bear it, he would say to his wife: "Wokou is rampant, the people are avoiding, you still go back to the safer, I am on the battlefield." Prepare to die on the battlefield. ”
Lady Qi glanced at Qi Jiguang and said, "You can die for the country, but I can't die for you?" From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of the undead, and the Wokou bully China, and I must also do my part. ”
Qi Jiguang couldn't help the lady, so she had to go. His husband and wife were generous to the country, and their arrogance and arrogance also drove the morale of the entire Qi family army to a rainbow. Whether it was the Battle of Taizhou in Eastern Zhejiang or the Battle of Fuzhou, it was fought brilliantly and beautifully.
Under the city of Taizhou, Wu Kou was so anxious that he threw the stolen gold and silver treasures along the road, hoping to lure the Qi family army to pick them up, and then come back with a horse gun. Unexpectedly, the miners and peasants who had originally fought for the silver mine, after Qi Jiguang's strict training, were actually disciplined, did not pick up every road, and no one robbed property in the battle, always after the battle, it was decided by Qi Jiguang to divide the spoils equally. Therefore, the Qi family army became stronger and stronger the war.
Lady Qi knew about the book, so Qi Jiguang consulted with her on many important military and state affairs. For example, every time the Wokou is broken, many women who have been taken captive by the Wokou will always be found, and how these women should be placed is a major problem.
"You might as well take the most beautiful ones as concubines first." Mrs. Qi said half-jokingly. In fact, this is also the way most generals deal with it.
"Qi family disciples don't do things that take advantage of people's dangers." Qi Jiguang's eyes looked straight ahead, "I want to send them home one by one." ”
"Of course, it is good to send it back, but I am afraid that after I go back, I will not be able to get the forgiveness of my relatives in the township." They were considered to be corrupt women who had been forcibly possessed by the Wokou. Madame Qi frowned tightly.
"Even if they were once forcibly occupied by the Wokou, it was not their fault." Qi Jiguang protested loudly.
"Yes! But the township thought they should commit suicide. Mrs. Qi continued, "When I was a child, the elders repeatedly mentioned that when A woman escorted her husband's coffin home in the fifth generation, and stayed in the hostel halfway through, the boss was angry and pulled her arm to ask her to leave quickly, and this woman took the knife and cut off her own arm. The reason was that she was defiled by the man, and everyone praised her chastity. In addition, Empress Ma, the wife of Ming Taizu, had breast sores, insisted that she could not let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat her, afraid of embarrassment, and finally died because of this, and it was also rumored to be a beautiful talk. Behind the word chastity is really cruel. ”
Qi Jiguang patted his thigh and said, "I send them back in the middle of the night, so I am not afraid of gossip in the township." ”
"When the officers and soldiers appear, how can the township not know?" Mrs. Qi questioned again.
"Then hire a sedan to carry them into the door with a palanquin, and instruct them not to mention that they have been caught by the Wokou."
Therefore, in this way, Qi Jiguang and his wife secretly saved countless women and preserved their honor. Qi Jiguang swept through the Wokou and was a great national hero.
