Qi Jiguang's heroic deeds of resisting the Yan can be described as well-known and well-known. Today's article will take you to summarize the life of General Qi Jiguang, a great hero who protects his home and the country!

A national hero who is the outside and soft on the inside, fighting in the south and the north, and strengthening China!

When Zhu Yuanzhang fought the world, there was a soldier named Qi Xiang beside him, and he was Qi Jiguang's ancestor. Qi Xiang did not have much achievement in his life, but he died in battle during the expedition to Yunnan, so he left a hereditary military position for his descendants - General Mingwei.

In the generation of Qi Jiguang's father Qi Jingtong, Qi Jingtong did not want to live this life with this hereditary position alone, and while doing a good job in the martial arts he inherited, he continued to advance through martial arts. Through his own efforts, Qi Jingtong has continuously made positive progress in his career, commanded all the officials, signed the Daning Metropolitan Division, entered the camp of the divine machine, and had conduct.

Qi Jiguang was born on November 12, 1528, and after the death of his father and relative Jingtong, he commanded the military affairs of the Shandong Imperial Dynasty.

At this time, it was during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and with the development of the commodity economy along the southeast coast, Daming's foreign trade was quite developed. Privately operated maritime trade along the coast is also active. In order to make huge profits, some maritime merchants and Zhejiang and Fujian merchants disregarded the imperial court's sea ban order and sold goods to each other with the "Fanbiyi merchants." These pirate merchants such as Wang Zhi and Xu Hai colluded with the wokou, which intensified the wokou. At the same time, some Ming bureaucrats also established contacts with these thieves.

In the 27th year of Jiajing (1548), the Ming Dynasty sent Zhu Qian to patrol Zhejiang and supervise Fujian's military affairs. Zhu Qiao's sea ban violated the interests of the bureaucrats and rich and wealthy in Tongwa, and they instructed the bureaucrats in the DPRK to attack Zhu Qiao and kill him, and as a result, Zhu Qiao was forced to commit suicide. From then on, there was no set up inspection minister, and the DPRK and the DPRK did not dare to mention the sea ban again. The Wokou became even more rampant.

The heinous crimes of the Wokou have caused serious disasters to the people in China's coastal areas. The enraged countrymen organized various forces to fight in self-defense.

In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing (1555), Qi Jiguang was transferred to Zhejiang as a general and actively resisted the Wokou. He personally went to Yiwu, which is "commonly known as fierce", to recruit farmers and miners, organized and trained a new army of more than 3,000 people, educated the soldiers to clarify the mission of killing thieves and protecting the people, "taught the method of stabbing and selecting long and short soldiers", and rehearsed the Mandarin Duck Array created by himself.

The officers and men of this new army fought bravely and well, repeatedly made combat merits, and had strict military discipline and did not disturb the people, quite like the "Yue Family Army" style of General Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty, and was known as the "Qi Family Army".

In the forty years of Jiajing's reign, the Wokou burned and plundered eastern Zhejiang, and Qi Jiguang led his army to defeat the Wokou at Longshan. The following year, he led 6,000 elite troops to aid Fujian and destroyed the old nest of the Wokou in Hengyu (present-day northeast of Ningde).

In the 42nd year of Jiajing's reign, Qi Jiguang again aided Fujian, was promoted to general officer, and attacked Pinghaiwei (east of Xinghua City) in three ways with Liu Xian and Yu Dayou, "cutting the rank of 2,200." In the spring of the following year, they were successively defeated under Xianyou City, and Fujian was defeated. In the forty-fourth year of Jiajing's reign (1565), he joined forces with Yu Dayou to annihilate the Woku in Guangdong. The plague on the southeast coast was completely lifted.

After Qi Jiguang swept away the troubles that had been plague for many years and ensured the safety of the lives and property of the coastal people, he was transferred to the north to defend the north to fight against the internal criminals of the Mongol tribes, ensure the security of the northern territory, and promote the peaceful development of the Mongol and Han ethnic groups. With his battle exploits, he moved to Zuo Dudu, Shaobao and Prince Taibao. In the tenth year of Wanli (1582), after the death of Zhang Juzheng, the head of the cabinet, Qi Jiguang was transferred to Guangdong. In the thirteenth year of Wanli (1585), Qi Jiguang was impeached and deposed and returned to his hometown. In the sixteenth year of Wanli, a generation of famous generals Qi Jiguang died of illness at home at the age of sixty-one, and he was called Wu Yi.

Throughout General Qi's life, it can be said that he is famous all over the world and strengthens China! He is not a martial artist who can only fight, but a wizard who is both civil and martial, and has authored famous military books such as "Ji Xiao Xinshu", "Actual Record of Military Training" and poems such as "Stopping the Tang Collection". In addition, he was an outstanding weapons expert and military engineer, modifying and inventing various fire attack weapons; The large and small warships and chariots built are superior to the enemy; Creatively build hollow enemy platforms on the Great Wall.

So impeccable, he is extremely tough on the wakou, but he is too weak internally, in Sichuanese, a typical ear. He was very afraid of his wife, the Wang clan.

Mrs. Wang is bold and moral, and everyone in the family respects her. Under the governance of the Wang clan, the entire Qi Mansion was orderly and peaceful, so that Qi Jiguang could go out to fight with peace of mind. However, this Mrs. Wang's temper does not seem to be very good, even today it can be regarded as plagiarism, let alone in that era of high male status.

Mrs. Wang gave birth to several sons to Qi Jiguang, but unfortunately they all died. The ancients often said that "if there is no filial piety, there are three, and no descendant is great", in order not to let the incense of the Qi family be cut off here, Qi Jiguang inevitably gave birth to the idea of taking a concubine. But when he and Wang Shi said this idea, Wang Shi immediately changed his face and expressed his firm opposition.

After Qi Jiguang returned to the camp, at the instigation of his brothers, he prepared to call Wang to the military camp to kill her majesty. As soon as Mrs. Wang entered the barracks, she saw the soldiers all holding knives, staring at her fiercely. As an ordinary woman, she may have been too scared to stand up, but Mrs. Wang walked straight to Qi Jiguang with a calm face, and asked with a livid face: "What did you ask me to do?" On the contrary, Qi Jiguang immediately cried and smiled and said: "I specially invited Madame to come to the parade." ”

After Qi Jiguang lost face in front of his brothers, he again wanted to take advantage of the Wang family's lunch break to scare her, and he was ashamed of it. As a result, he accidentally woke up the Wang family, and the Wang family glared at him and shouted angrily: "Are you going to rebel?" ”

Qi Jiguang stammered in fright: "I plan to kill a chicken to replenish Madame's body!" ”

Although Qi Jiguang failed to deter his wife, he still could not tolerate having no heirs, so he secretly raised three concubines outside without concealing the Wang family. These three concubines were also contending, and indirectly gave birth to five sons in a few years.

When Mrs. Wang knew that Qi Jiguang was hiding in the golden house, she was going to find Qi Jiguang with a knife to settle the account. Qi Jiguang cried bitterly in front of the Wang family: "I'm 35 years old, I just want a son, is it wrong?" ”

Mrs. Wang still felt a little guilty because of her son's affairs, and when she heard Qi Jiguang say this, she couldn't bear it, and she cried on the spot, but still chose to accept reality.

In order to make up for the guilt he felt for her, Qi Jiguang selected one of his five sons and gave it to her to raise, and the Wang family also loved his stepson Qi Anguo. However, the child died not long after, and the other sons born to the concubine grew up smoothly. It is said that Mrs. Wang was heartbroken because of this, and there is no historical record after her divorce from Qi Jiguang.
