"Who said that only upright officials can win wars?"
Qi Yuan's soul transformed into Qi Jiguang, and when he saw the dead soldiers in the guard station who were all sallow and skinny, he tore up the book of sages directly.
The Ming Dynasty had no money to pay military salaries?
He relied on financial leverage to monopolize maritime trade and made his own money!
Is the court impeached that he is wealthy and lustful, associates with eunuchs, and supports soldiers to respect himself?
Coincidentally, he was the eldest brother of Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, and the impeacher was dismissed from office on the spot.
Internally, he was a peerless warlord who made all officials of the Ming Dynasty gnash their teeth and covered the sky with one hand.
But when the Japanese pirates attacked, those civil servants who only knew how to talk trembled.
His Qi family army received the highest military pay in the Ming Dynasty, ate white flour and raw meat, carried improved fire blunderbuss, and pressed three thousand Zhenwa as if they were moving silver and rubbed them crazily on the ground!
"What's wrong with the corrupt officials? Every tael of silver I've embezzled has been turned into cannons that smashed the Japanese pirates and pensions for brothers who died in battle! As long as my soldiers can be fed and these beasts can be built into the capital, I will be the Ming Dynasty's biggest loyal minister!"
