The Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty were mainly composed of Japanese samurai, bankrupt businessmen, pirates and some profiteers who colluded with China. They harassed and robbed in the southeast coast of our country, and their whereabouts were uncertain. Sometimes they come to land in droves, and sometimes they sneak up on people and set them on fire. These pirates even set up strongholds in the coastal areas and divided the scope of their rule, which was extremely rampant.
At this time, due to political corruption and policy mistakes, coastal defense has lost its due function, and it is ineffective and vulnerable! Secondly, due to the shortage of rations, the navy warships were seriously damaged and the soldiers were dissatisfied, which led to the Japanese pirates eventually becoming a catastrophe in the Ming Dynasty!
Qi Jiguang is the second generation officer, a hereditary military attache, with Grade 4. In the first decade, he rose from level 4 to level 3, but he never fought. In the first battle, he saw the weakness of the Ming dynasty loyalist and ran away when he saw the enemy! In the end, he couldn't find a soldier in Jinhua and Yiwu who was honest and not afraid of sacrifice. When training new recruits, we developed a very powerful military array. This kind of mandarin duck array with both offensive and defensive capabilities annihilates the enemy in one fell swoop! I realized my long-cherished wish!
After putting down the rebellion, in the first year of Qin Long, Qi Jiguang led his troops into Beijing and became the governor of Hebei and Liao. He led his men to defeat Mongolian cavalry many times! However, Qi Jiguang, who never lost his life, was suspected by the imperial court. Eventually rejected by the court, he returned to his hometown and died in 1588.
