Zhou Lu had another problem. He had heard of the Yang Family Spear, the Luo Family Spear, and the Liuhe Spear, but he had never heard of the Pear Blossom Spear that he wanted to practice.

"Your cousin hasn't come yet, so I'll talk to you."

The Pear Blossom Spear was not invented by Qi Jiguang. It was used by Yang Miaozhen, a Red Turban Army soldier who fought against the Jin army. She was very powerful back then and could beat the Jin soldiers so badly that they had no temper at all.

By the time of the Ming Dynasty, most soldiers were trained in using fancy spears and swords, which looked powerful but were actually useless on the battlefield. Qi Jiguang was a hereditary military general.

I have known about this bad habit in the military for a long time.

When he went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to suppress the Japanese pirates and recruited soldiers in Yiwu, he required them all to practice the Yang family's pear blossom spear, which was a straightforward and unpredictable spear technique that was very difficult to defend against.

Twenty years of pear blossom spear, unrivaled in the world!

The training method of the Qi family army was also simple. They would set up a wooden man and place a wooden ball on the heart, throat and other vital parts. Only those who could hit seven out of ten shots were considered top soldiers.

"Is he so powerful?" Zhou Lu also knew Qi Jiguang, the most famous general ever to come out of Dengzhou. The Qi Family Army he founded was known for being victorious in every battle.

"Of course, this is the training method of the Qi Family Army. We are just outnumbered. If there were more people, who could stop us from stabbing with spears?"

……

At first, people from all dynasties did not take it seriously, but as they listened, they felt that something was not right. It seemed that what the host was talking about was a technique for training soldiers.

It’s amazing, how come people in later generations know everything?

"Li Jing, what do you think of this method?"

"Extraordinary," Li Jing whispered. "This training method places very high demands on soldiers. They can't charge too fast or too slow either. Plus, this spear technique is truly difficult to resist."

Ming Dynasty

There was no smile on Zhu Di's face. Although he knew that there was such a famous general in the future, he also mentioned that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not good enough. What was meant by "fancy swords and spears"?

His current soldiers were able to follow him on five expeditions to Mongolia and were invincible. Which of his descendants had ruined the Ming army?

Emperor Wanli

At this time, his face turned pale as he stayed in the palace. He had just dismissed Qi Jiguang from office not long ago. If he was so powerful, did he do something wrong?

Should we call him back?

There were many generals in the Ming Dynasty, so why did Qi Jiguang have such a great reputation in later generations?

There was another thing that worried him even more. What if the host talked about him later? Would he not give him a very high evaluation? He didn't dare to watch it. He really didn't dare to watch it.

Just when Wanli was worried, Zhou Lu's cousin came over with a shield.

"What's wrong with you?" Qi Cheng looked at him sweating profusely and asked in surprise.

"There were quite a few people trying to take pictures of me on the road just now, and I finally managed to get rid of them."

"Who told you to come here in armor?"

The people of all dynasties also shook their heads. If they wore this at that time, it would not be a good idea to take photos. They would probably be taken down by the imperial court.

"Let's get started."

Qi Cheng had only watched others practice a few times and didn't know much about the spear, so let alone hitting the black spot, even hitting the person on the wall was a bit difficult.

Moreover, their own strength was not very good, and they could not hold on for more than half an hour.

"I'm so tired, so tired, let's take a break." Zhou Lu said while panting, "How did the ancients practice? It's obvious that they didn't eat as well as we do."

The ancient soldiers sighed. They now had the Seven Kills and Fifty-Four Chop techniques. If they didn't practice well, they would be beaten with sticks. If they didn't practice well even more, they would be chopped directly.

How can I find time to rest like them?

When it comes to food, they feel even more aggrieved. They are usually lucky to have enough to eat. Their food and wages are often withheld by officials, and they are lucky to get half of it.
