QiGuJun is just an elite force in Qi Jiguang, with a small number. But it's not like Qi Jiguang only manages one Qigujun. Qi Jiguang, the company commander of Jizhou, was in charge of the 3rd Battalion, which was an important town in the north. His actual strength was around 65,438+10,000, which was his greatest time.
The source is explained in detail in Biography of Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty, and the website link.
Expansion: Jizhou Town is one of the nine frontier defense towns in Ming Dynasty, with more than 60 general commanders serving here successively. Qi Jiguang, as an important member of Jizhou Town's many general commanders, defended Jizhou Town 16 years, devoted himself to military defense, effectively consolidated the northern border defense of Daming Mountain, and made contributions to the security of Kyoto in the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, Qi Jiguang was appreciated by the imperial court, and his position rose step by step, from the commander-in-chief of Yuji Town to the right commander-in-chief, and then to the left commander-in-chief, reaching the top of the Wu Zhi rank in the Ming Dynasty, which made him famous.
Examining the official position of generals in Ming Dynasty, we will find that there is no uniform and fixed rank in this official position. The generals in Yuji Town are basically military commanders with four official positions, namely, viceroy, viceroy, viceroy and viceroy, viceroy and viceroy, and viceroy and viceroy can be placed in the third place according to the rank of Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that the rank of soldiers in Zhen Ji Town in Ming Dynasty was relatively high.
