Some people say that bureaucratic capital is a form of seeking rent through rights and seeking rents for the purpose of obtaining excessive huge profits.

Bureaucratic capital is very harmful, and the main reason is to use power to implement monopoly transactions in order to obtain excessive violence.

Under the protection of power, without the idea of ​​market competition, all competitors will be wiped out in the face of power.

Although this form is not good for economic development, it has to be said that in the early stages of capital accumulation, this is the most convenient way to strengthen capital.

However, all this can only be stopped in Wei Guangde's mind.

After all, he does not have the right to support a huge amount of capital now.

Although many people in later generations believed that the formation of the cabinet system, the imperial power was subject to certain restrictions and was no longer the only one who was superior.

Because the stability of imperial power requires the support of a bureaucratic group headed by the cabinet, it seems that imperial power and bureaucratic group are in a cooperative relationship. Especially after the bureaucratic group grasped the right to refute the imperial edict, many people believe that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had become a decoration, and the bureaucratic group had actually undermined the imperial power.

For Wei Guangde now, he can only laugh.

Perhaps the last emperor in the late Ming Dynasty was like that, but what he saw and heard now was that the imperial power was still supreme.

However, when he saw Yu Dayou's actions, although he had some speculation in his heart, he was still not sure and had to ask tentatively: "Does Zhifu know what the reason?"

With this thought, Liu Xian turned to Qi Jiguang and asked, "Yuan Jing, tell me honestly, how much combat power does the Zhejiang soldiers who go south with you this time have?"

He did not ask Qi Jiguang directly, but asked Yu Dayou.

Qi Jiguang said at this time.

Qi Jiguang knew that by this time he could no longer tell the truth. He looked at Liu Xian and Yu Dayou and said, "There are two thousand people who were the new army I trained before, and I have experience in the battlefield of suppressing Japanese soldiers. There are two thousand people who are newly recruited recruits and have no training."

He would rather want one hundred elite soldiers than one thousand ordinary people.

"well."

“Why is it so slow?”

Yu Dayou’s concerns are not actually unfair.

Who are they in the fight against the vicious Japanese pirates?

As for the wolf soldiers that Liu Xian had always wanted to apply for the transfer of the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, all of them were assigned to the coastal prefectures in Guangdong at this time.

"Zhejiang is unwilling to mobilize elite mainland troops to Fujian to eliminate Japanese pirates."

This may be the natural pursuit of glory by soldiers. The soldiers waved the military flag hard, which was the fierce fighting spirit of the gas soldiers. As long as the military flag was there, they were there; but once the military flag fell, the spiritual pillar would disappear.

I am afraid that Qi Jiguang could lead the troops because the Ministry of War ordered the generals, otherwise it would be impossible for him to go south here.

Zhang Nie was unwilling to mobilize elite troops to Fujian, but instead guarded Guangdong. How could he hope that Zhejiang would mobilize any army to come?

Qi Jiguang still replied with a bitter face.

Yu Dayou has received the letter Wei Guangde has sent him before and is also aware that he will be appointed as the general of Fujian.

In the era of cold weapons, whenever an orderly battle formation collapses, it will often quickly infect other troops, leading to a global collapse.

He has seen the huge power that can burst out with concentrated use of firearms.

Hearing Qi Jiguang's words, Yu Dayou became interested and stared at him and asked, "Did the soldiers you brought have practice all the way?"

Yu Dayou nodded slightly and agreed to Liu Xian's words.

Liu Xian said for no reason, not knowing whether this was asking Yu Dayou or Qi Jiguang.

Perhaps because Yu Dayou is out of the way, he can still look at this matter with a relatively calm attitude, so he can also see more.

Behind them were two large Ming army camps. The camp on the left was slightly smaller in size, which were Liu Xian's headquarters and the defeated soldiers gathered, while the camp on the right was much larger, which were the men brought by Yu Dayou from Nangan.

Yu Dayou's words did not dispel Liu Xian's concerns, he just spoke indifferently.

Here, the greatest power still comes from the emperor.

In Zhang Nie's words, Xinghua Prefecture is already like this. If Fujian and Guangdong are attacked by Japanese pirates again, even if a county town is lost, they will inevitably bear the thunder and anger of the court.

Although Qi Jiguang knew that his words would definitely cause Liu Xian's dissatisfaction, he had no choice.

The so-called killing generals and seizing flags in ancient times was actually to achieve overall victory through local breakthroughs, and that point was the military flag.

However, at this time, Liu Xian and Qi Jiguang were still unsure of the Zhejiang soldiers who had not seen them from the north.

If the military flag is taken away, it not only represents the safety of the general, but also represents their unpredictable future.

At this time, Qi Jiguang just opened his mouth, but did not make any sound.

Therefore, in order to realize his expectations, Wei Guangde must be supported by King Yu.

Yu Dayou could only follow Qi Jiguang's words. Since he said that there were arrangements before going south to train these recruits to use firearms, it seemed that there were advantages.

Liu Xian looked at Yu Dayou with eager eyes at this moment and asked.

Funing Prefecture, located in the north of Fujian, borders Zhejiang with Jianning Prefecture.

Yu Dayou knew that the atmosphere between the three of them was very bad now, and wanted to break the dullness, so he smiled and said, "No matter what, Yuan Jing still has a good way to train new recruits, and his troops are good at using firearms. At that time, he can be the central army. I think Japanese pirates will not be able to compete with such a large army."

This time, the sigh was replaced by Liu Xian, "In the past few days, I have received three letters from Governor Zhang, which not only reiterated the Ministry of War's request that this battle must be sure that no thief must be missed, but also demanded that the Japanese pirates be wiped out as soon as possible.

Perhaps this is also the reason why he and Zhang Juzheng were sent to the school to record the "Yongle Encyclopedia" together.

The Nangan troops led by Yu Dayou have arrived for several days and have been repaired. Liu Xian also took advantage of this time to gather Pinghai Acropolis and flee from the Ming army, and his troops have also expanded to more than 2,000.

As the saying goes, soldiers are the courage of generals, and generals are the soul of soldiers.

Hearing Liu Xian's inquiry, Yu Dayou looked up and smiled bitterly, "Yuan Jing must have had his last resort, just like the governor is so eager to fight."

Yu Dayou's face changed slightly, and then he thought of something.

"The court has an order, and it must be done according to the order, so this can only be adopted."

The so-called imperial edict does not leave the palace and will never exist in the era in which he lived.

However, at this time, Yu Dayou and Liu Xian were actually most worried about how much combat power the soldiers trained in this way could exert.

Seeing that Liu Xian looked ugly, Yu Dayou had to say again.

For the generals who led the troops, they all agreed with this statement.

The three of them tacitly did not say how they dispatched troops from surrounding prefectures and counties to reinforce. In fact, they had already seen what the situation was in the Ming army in various parts of Fujian.

Yu Dayou looked at the Japanese pirates camp opposite the distance, which had gradually improved his defense, and Yu Dayou replied with some concern.

Although the general is a false position and a temporary position, after all, he was dismissed from the position of the general in Zhejiang, and now he has finally been promoted back.

Sure enough, when Liu Xian's face became even more ugly when he heard the answer given by Qi Jiguang.

This is also the reason why Liu Xian did not mobilize troops from the surrounding areas and would rather select strong supplements from the fleeing people.

"When I came here, I also considered the trouble of suppressing the Japanese Japanese. Therefore, the recruits did not use the past training methods, but only trained them to arrange their arrays and release firearms. They should be able to fight at that time."

After the Japanese pirates withdrew from Xinghua Prefecture, they ambushed the Pinghai Guards' army and then captured Pinghai Fen.

"Let's talk about how to arrange troops when the Zhejiang soldiers arrive."

After suffering too much loss, he was also worried that he had said something wrong just now and was criticized for being timid and timid.

If Liu Xian had maintained high confidence in eliminating this Japanese pirate before, then now, he was already feeling a little guilty.

Moreover, the herd effect of the military formation is also very strong.

"Zhifu, in your opinion, can we converge our forces to capture Wudang Mountain, capture Xucuo's Wochacha, and face Pinghai Acropolis?"

They are all fierce people who have seen blood in their hands. For the people of this era, many people will tremble with their feet and lose their strength when they see a bloody battlefield, let alone fight against the enemy with swords and guns.

The kind of generals there are, the kind of soldiers there will be.

In fact, I didn’t really think much of the firearms at the beginning, but now, my views have changed a lot, especially after the infantry used firearms to defeat Altan’s cavalry.

When Emperor Jiajing was in power, he still planned to just mix it up. After all, there were too many cards he could play in his hands, and no matter how he looked at it, he would never be able to reuse it.

"Governor Liu, the news came a few days ago, I think the Zhejiang soldiers should have arrived in Funing Prefecture."

However, as far as the current marching speed is concerned, it is really too slow.

Faced with the Japanese pirates with absolute advantage, the Ming army did not dare to harass them, and could only watch the Japanese pirates build camps.

Although Liu Xian's expression was unpredictable, he knew in his heart that he was not sure of winning now when he went to the battle.

According to the rules of the Ming army, I walked for half a day every day, arrived at a place, and then rested, and trained troops. I would have to walk for a day in a certain place and then continued to set off. The speed would be reduced.

"So, this time, the actual combat power of this Japanese suppression was only the 6,000 soldiers and less than a thousand soldiers in Zhifu's hands and I, and the 2,000 Zhejiang soldiers who had been on the battlefield."

Liu Xian did this because he was not optimistic about the men and horses brought by Qi Jiguang, so he chose to rely on working together with Yu Dayou to eliminate the current Japanese pirates.

However, he immediately said to Yu Dayou earnestly: "Zhifu, this battle is of great importance."

With a sigh, Yu Dayou lowered his head.

His sigh immediately attracted Liu Xian's attention and he couldn't help but look over.

"Governor Liu, although my six thousand men have arrived, the full strength of our army is only more than eight thousand. I really lack the preparations against the Japanese pirates."

There is no doubt that if the Japanese pirates who captured Xinghua Prefecture escaped, he would definitely not be able to withstand the emperor's anger, and the civil servants in the court would have to use him to sacrifice the flag and serve as a scapegoat.

Zhejiang soldiers came from afar. Even if they arrived at the battlefield, they had to leave enough days for them to repair, otherwise they would not be able to go to the battlefield.

There were more than 6,000 Japanese pirates, but Liu Xian had only more than 1,000 troops in his hands. Seeing that there was no hope of rescue, he was unable to avoid being attacked by Japanese pirates and had to withdraw his military camp.
