The truth about the Ming Dynasty
Wokou has always been considered to be Japanese invasion, but Wokou is actually a pirate who committed transnational crimes, the drama "Compilation of Sea Charts" and "Jiajing Shilu" recorded that most of the members were Han Chinese, and the most famous pirate leaders were Wang Zhi, a native of Shexian County, Anhui Province, Captain Wufeng, and some Japanese ronin and Portuguese participated.
At that time, Qi Jiguang lost a total of several hundred soldiers, and each battle record ranged from hundreds to tens of thousands, which meant that the pirate leader's troops could completely divide one side in Japan and there was no need to be pirates at all. As for the poor, it is even more impossible, and a few downcast bandits cannot afford to build such a large ship.
Logically, the Ming Dynasty also made sense, and the local officials sold all the pirate uprisings and rebellions as Wukou Shangbao, which did not affect their political achievements, and there was no one in the official arena to seize the handle, and if they were not good, they could also get a sum of funds for resisting the Wu dynasty. Pirate rebels who are caught are also willing to claim to be Japanese, so that the family will not be linked, which is a willing to fight a wish.
