Yu Dayu galloped across the horse, drawing the bow and flying arrows, reaching the realm of a hundred shots

Yu Dayu, a native of Jinjiang, Fujian, was originally from Huoqiu County, Fengyang (present-day Huoqiu, Anhui), with the character Zhifu and the name Xujiang. Yu Dayu grew up in poverty, relying on his mother Yang's weaving network and the support of relatives and friends, living in Qingyuan Shanshui Liukeng Village, studying diligently. At the age of five, he entered a school in his hometown of River City and studied with several local celebrities. At the age of ten, he moved with his family to the north corner of Quanzhou City (its ruins are now Quanzhou Qiao Zhong), and studied with Deng Cheng, Tang Kekuan and others in Qingyuan Cave, Qingyuan Mountain. At the age of fifteen, he entered Wen Xiucai, and together with li du, Xue Nantang, Shi Wenzhai and Shi Lizhai and more than ten other people, continued to study at the Zize Academy in Qingyuan Mountain, and learned martial arts in QingyuanDong, known as the Ten Talents. Qingyuan Mountain still has its practice gallstone (for the practice of courage, often climb the boulder to jump down), and now quanzhou Qingyuan Mountain Tiger Milk Spring, there are four big characters of its self-written "Jun'en Mountain Weight".

At that time, the atmosphere of Minxue in Quanzhou society was blazing, and Yu Dayu successively worshiped Wang Xuan and Lin Fu, the military scholar Zhao Benxue and others as teachers, and studied the "I Ching" and the Book of Soldiers, all of which were the masters of the three schools. Later, Li Liangqin, a Shaolin master of Tong'annan who was proficient in Jingchu long swords, learned swordplay, stick skills and riding archery, and reached the "first in the world of swordsmanship", galloping across horses, leading bows and arrows, and the realm of hundreds of shots.

Wang, Lin and Zhao were all famous teachers in Quanzhong at that time, and they were the disciples of Cai Qing, a famous representative of Minxue in the early Ming Dynasty, who had learned "Yi" from Cai Qing. Wang Xuan used "Yi" to discuss the traces of the rise and fall of ancient and modern chaos, Lin Fu used "Yi" to be clear-hearted and loyal to filial piety and benevolence, and Zhao Benxue used "Yi" to yan Bing Jia Qi's false power, and authored "Tao Ju Internal and External Chapters" and "Sun Tzu's Commentary".

Yu Dayu's intentions for the Three Masters were all able to tacitly understand the Divine Society, integrate and penetrate, and especially explain what they did not discuss. In terms of the relationship between teachers and teachers, Yu Dayu was a disciple of the famous Confucian Cai Qingzhi. It was precisely because of the solid theoretical foundation of Confucianism laid in his youth that Yu Dayu later became a unique and famous general of the Ming Dynasty, not only in the field of thinking of outstanding military experts, but also in the ideological foresight of outstanding politicians, so his superior Tan Lun once praised him for having great general talent.

In the fourteenth year of Jiajing (1535 AD), Yu Dayu participated in the National Martial Arts Examination and wrote a policy called "The Way of the Whole Army of an Guo", which was deeply appreciated by Mao Bowen of the Bingbu Shangshu, and was awarded the fifth Wujinshi, who inherited the position of a hundred households, was promoted to a thousand households, guarded the Imperial Golden Gate, and released grain to relieve the hungry, known as "Yu Buddha".

In the forty-second year of Jiajing (1563 AD), Yu Dayu migrated to Nangan.

In the forty-third year of Jiajing (1564 AD), Yu Dayi changed the town of Chaozhou, Guangdong. The 20,000 Wukou and the great thief Wu Ping's people were each other's horns, while the Dong people Lan Songsan, Wu Duan, Ye Danlou and other armed forces, the Japanese plundered the tide and Hui, and In Fujian, Cheng Shaolu rebelled against Yanping, Liang Daohui invaded Tingzhou, and Yu Dayu was calmed down one by one. Wu Ping surrendered and rebelled, plundered the people's boats and went to sea, Min Guang patrolted according to the imperial history of the impeachment, Yu Dayu sat and seized the post. Li Yayuan advocated chaos in Heyuan and Weng yuan, and the governor Wu Guifang left Yu Dayu to discuss it, and Yu Dayu carried out a counter-plan, took his party and relatives to smash his nest, captured Li Yayuan, and captured more than 80,000 men and women who had been taken captive. He also served as the commander-in-chief of the Guangxi Army, and was awarded the seal of General Pingman. Subsequently, Pingwang Shiqiao rebelled, and the governor of the bureau was Tongzhi.

In the second year of Longqing (1568 AD), the pirates once committed a crime against Guangzhou, and then in Fujian, Yu Dayu combined with Guo Cheng and Li Xijun to capture it, record the merits, enter the right capital governor, and return the town of Guangxi. During his tenure in Guangxi, Yu Dayu donated money to rebuild his hometown Haoshi Bridge.

In the fifth year of Longqing (1571 AD), Yu Dayu captured and killed the great thieves Huang Chaomeng and Wei Yinbao, who had killed and crossed the goods in Gutian (Zhuang) in Guangxi, and the imperial court entered Yu Dayu's hereditary command of you.

In the sixth year of Longqing (1572 AD), Inspector Li Liangchen participated in the impeachment of Yu Dayu for adultery and greed, and although the military forces held a public opinion, they still ordered them to return to the country to await transfer. Shi Ping (事平), from the time of his appointment as the Right Governor of the Nanjing Central Army, was not appointed as the Governor of Fujian Province.

In the autumn of the first year of the Wanli Dynasty (1573 AD), Yu Dayu was seventy years old and was stripped of his post because of the failure of the planned attack on Penghu Wukou. Fu Yidu Governor Youshi raised the Right House YouShu and led the car camp for training. In the end, the three beggars returned.

In the eighth year of the Wanli Calendar (1580 AD), Yu Dayu died at home, at the age of seventy-eight, and until his death, he was still training in the army. Give sacrifices and burials, give zuo du du, and give wu xiang.

The tomb is in Su'an Village, Cizao Town, Jinjiang County, and Huang Guangsheng, a Shangshu Panhu of the Ministry of Punishment of the Ming Dynasty, is enshrined in the tomb of Ming Qi (the first half of the epitaph is treasured in the Jinjiang Museum).
