National hero - Qi Jiguang drove out Wu Kou

During the Ming Dynasty, pirates from Japan constantly invaded the southeastern sea frontiers of the mainland from the sea, setting fires, robbing property, and even taking a large number of men and women as slaves. People hate these Japanese pirates because of their small stature, calling them "Wokou". The Ming Dynasty sent many outstanding generals to the coastal Pingwu, and Qi Jiguang was the most outstanding one.

At the age of seventeen, Qi Jiguang inherited his father's business and became a young general who could write and fight, determined to dedicate himself to the defense of the motherland. When he first arrived at the front line, once he led his army to meet the Wokou, and some soldiers did not dare to meet the battle, and when they saw the enemy coming, they turned around and ran. Qi Jiguang shouted, "Stop! Then he jumped onto a large rock, fired three arrows in a row, shot at the three leaders of the Wokou, and then took the lead in rushing up to kill the enemy, and finally won the victory. Since then, his prestige has been greatly enhanced, and Wokou has called him "Qi Tiger". In order to reverse the passive situation, he re-formed a new army composed of miners and poor peasants who could recruit good warriors, strictly trained, strictly disciplined, and qi family army. The Qi family army won consecutive battles and eliminated the Wukou who invaded Zhejiang.

Qi Jiguang led his army to Fujian again, and he decided to first remove Hengyu Island, the wukou stronghold at sea, and the generals of the Qi family army risked great danger and crawled on the beach shirtless. Qi Jiguang personally beat the war drums. After a fierce battle, a large number of Wokou entrenched on the island were all annihilated. The Qi family army took advantage of the victory to advance and swept away the Wokou along the Fujian coast one by one. With the joint efforts of Qi Jiguang and other generals, the Wokou who had harmed the mainland for three hundred years were completely pacified, and the great commander and national hero Qi Jiguang and his Qi family army made immortal contributions to the motherland.
