Enemy profile:
The Japanese pirates refer to the Japanese pirate groups that invaded Korea, the coastal areas of China and Nanyang from13rd century to16th century. They are mainly engaged in smuggling trade between China and China except coastal looting. Because Japanese ancient books call Japan a Japanese country, it is called an enemy.
At the beginning, the Japanese pirates were only famous ship owners, officials and unemployed people in the coastal areas of Kyushu. /kloc-At the beginning of the 4th century, Japan entered the split period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the defeated southern feudal main organization samurai plundered the coastal areas of China and North Korea. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, in the imperial edict of Emperor Guangxu, "the enemy" was widely used to refer to the Japanese army, and words such as "the enemy army, the enemy soldiers, the enemy guns and the enemy court" were derived.
Activity area:
The enemy's base areas include Okinawa, Taiwan Province Province, Yiqi, Hirado Island and Wudao Island, as well as China, coastal islands on the Korean Peninsula, Tanegashima and Hainan Island.
The southern part of the Korean peninsula was first invaded by Japanese invaders from Malaysia, Yiqi and Songpu Peninsula in Kyushu. According to historical records, as early as the tenth year of Yongzheng in Korea, the Japanese invaders began to invade the Jin State of Korea. Then, in the 12th or 13th year of Zhenyou, the enemy harassed Jinzhou and Xiong Shen. The scope of Japanese invasion includes coastal areas such as Gyeongsang Road, Jeolla Road, Yangguangdao and Xihai Road.
Impact:
The Japanese invasion not only made the towns in coastal areas decline, but also Ding Zhuang in other areas stopped farming and abandoned weaving because of transporting grain and socks. Crop failure has caused great losses to people's lives and property in China.
From the thirty-first year of Jiajing to the forty-third year of Jiajing, the Japanese rebellion in Jiajing basically ended, causing devastating damage to southeast coastal areas such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian and Guangdong. The enemy broke through more than 100 counties along the Yangtze River, such as eastern Zhejiang, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Huguang, Jiangsu, Songsong, Changzhou, Huaiyang and Nantong, killing and injuring more than one million people. He was arrested for defending his land, and countless people were punished for breaking the law.
Where the enemy passed, the countryside and the city were all ruins of Qiu, and Lu's room was empty. The Ming government also paid a heavy price to quell the Japanese riots. 10 years, the Ming government changed generals frequently, and only Wu Zhi died 107 people. The death of soldiers and civilians, the consumption of military supplies, the world is in chaos, and the southeast is exhausted.
The Japanese rebellion caused a large-scale psychological panic among the people, and the local governor was even more afraid of the sun. During the Japanese rebellion, the strong fighting capacity and sophisticated weapons of the Japanese army made the Ming army vulnerable to attack, which not only encouraged the Japanese army to defeat the Ming army, but also further strengthened the panic of the Ming army during the Japanese rebellion. At the same time, the intrusion of Japanese pirate groups seriously affected the Ryukyu Mission's visit to China and its activities in China.
