In the fourteenth year of The Ming Dynasty Hongwu Fu Youde, Lan Yu led the Ming Dynasty army on an expedition to Yunnan, and along the way, they were invincible, and the battle situation was very smooth and put down the local rebellion in Yunnan in one fell swoop. After the end of the war, Fu Youde, in accordance with the custom, sent a list of the fallen officers to the imperial court for the recognition of pensions. When Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed the list, his eyes stayed on a person's name "Qi Xiang". Qi Xiang followed Zhu Yuanzhang on his eastern expedition to the west in 1353, and he was still Zhu Yuanzhang's personal bodyguard at that time, making many military achievements and being deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Qi Xiang's son, Qi Bin, to serve as the "General of Mingwei" as the commander of Dengzhou Wei as a "hereditary resignation". What is hereditary resignation? This means that as long as the descendants of this family have children and grandchildren, and the father retires, his children are the "General Mingwei", that is, the Sipin officials. This is called hereditary. In 1528, in the seventh year of Jiajing, "Jiajing is the one we see in the film and television works who was strangled with a rope by several harem concubines" In early October, Yi qi Jiguang was born in a family of senior officers who managed the Jiangnan Military Region and transported military food in the logistics department. Their family still carries on the title of "General Of Minway". Twenty-four years after Jiajing, in 1545 the eighteen-year-old Qi Jiguang was ready to leave for Beijing, where he would perform the post of successor to his father. After the Ministry of National Defense of the Ming Dynasty completed the formalities, Qi Jiguang officially rushed to Shandong to handle the handover and was appointed as the commander of Dengzhou Wei, "equivalent to a senior officer of the rank of major general of our Henan Provincial Military Region." When Qi Jiguang arrived at the Dengzhou Military Region, he sincerely sighed that the Ming Government trusted itself too much. Dengzhou, an important coastal town in Shandong, has tens of thousands of government garrisons, plus concurrently managing military tuns and accompanying military families. Because the Ming Dynasty government army did not fight for a long time, they had already cultivated soldier oil, and every day they ate and drank together. How could a hot-blooded young officer tolerate them living like this every day? Qi Jiguang was in the army, carrying out reforms, severely rectifying the army, strengthening military training, straightening out military discipline, and reinvigorating military prestige. While Qi Jiguang shouted slogans, the soldiers and oilmen were still going their own way. The loud bang of the slogan is that there is no actual action. The soldiers said that you didn't even have a beard, even if your grandfather came. He also wants to save face for those of us who are soldiers. Seeing that things could not go on, Qi Jiguang was not discouraged, and he strengthened his exercise every day and carried out high-intensity physical training. He wanted to take the exam, and although he was a sipin official, he was not a jinshi. Jiajing Twenty-eight years later, Qi Jiguang participated in the Wuju Renxiang Examination and won the Wuju Renren in one fell swoop. This article was only known to me after reading "those things of the Ming Dynasty", called parrot learning tongue, that is, plagiarism. The vernacular explanations inside are added by myself, changing customs and customs, and making it easy to understand.
