4. Yu Qian and Columbus
This is not The Humble is not the other Than The Humble, not the Deyun She, Yu Qian, who loves to "smoke and drink and burn his head", but the Ming Dynasty Yu Qian, the character Tingyi, the trumpet Jie'an, the official at least Bao, known as Yu Shaobao, Han, Zhejiang, Zhejiang Hangzhou Province Qiantang County (now Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province) people. Yu Qian dared to ask for the people's lives and severely punished the adulterers and magnates. It advocates that soldiers are noble in their excellence, that they are brave and courageous, and that they use soldiers to respond to changes on the spot, advocating that "generals learn from each other" and that "those who manage the army know the strength and weakness of the soldiers, and those who are in charge of the army know the orders of the generals." The system of regimental battalions created had a great influence on the military system of the Ming Dynasty.
