In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Qi, whose father was born between Wei and Guo. In Wei Xiangong, Sun Lin's father served as Shangqing. In Wei Shanggong, he was sealed in Qi (Henan), and his descendants took Qi as their surname. At present, the population of Qi family name ranks 227th in the country, with 360,000 people. Generally, there is such a couplet in the ancestral hall of the Qi family: "The anti-Japanese declaration is far away and the sea is high." It's about Qi Jiguang, the hero who fought against the Japanese.
In a.d. 1557, the general went to war. In order to deal with the Japanese invaders who invaded the coastal areas of Zhejiang, Emperor Jiajing ordered Qi Jiguang, then commander of Dengzhouwei, Shandong Province, to be transferred to Dusi, Zhejiang Province, as a general to take charge of the war of resistance. When Qi Jiguang arrived in Zhejiang, he saw that the discipline of the Ming army was slack and the soldiers were not used to fighting, so he asked to form a new army.
In A.D. 1559, he personally went to Jinhua, Yiwu and other places to recruit 3,000 recruits and taught him how to stab. This team was disciplined and was able to recruit "Qi Jiajun" who was good at fighting. On one occasion, about 3000 Japanese pirates landed on the coast of Haimen, ready to grab the sea. After sending troops to pretend defeat, Qi led the enemy to Shangjieling, and when all the enemies entered the encirclement, they were annihilated in one fell swoop. Therefore, Yin Qi (son of Qi Jiguang) is both young and energetic. Before all the enemies entered the encirclement, he ordered the drums to charge, and some of them escaped. Qi Jiguang went back to camp to raise money, and because Yin Qi didn't act according to military orders, he ordered the launch of beheading.
The activities of Japanese pirates in the New Yuanyang Array are mostly along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian, fighting with heavy arrows, spears and Japanese knives. There are many hills and swamps along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian, and the roads are rugged, so it is difficult for large troops to launch. The Japanese army is good at ambush and hand-to-hand combat. In view of this feature, Qi Jiguang has created a new battle formation "Yuanyang Array", which takes 12 as the basic unit of combat, and the long and short weapons are combined with each other, which can constantly change with the terrain and operational needs.
Killing the enemy for 36,5438+05,665,438+0 years, a large number of Japanese pirates rushed into Flower Street to plunder. Qi Jiguang led the "Qigujun" and put on the "Yuanyang Array" for the first time. With the cooperation of birds, crossbows, rockets and other weapons, he killed more than 30 thousand people in one fell swoop. Then, in the battle to defend Taizhou, the "Qijiajun" put on a "mandarin duck array" and bravely rushed to kill the enemy, causing the enemy to be defeated on all fronts. "Qijiajun" won every battle against the enemy. Qi Jiguang once wrote such a poem: "It is not my intention to seal the Hou, and I hope the world will be peaceful." It doesn't matter whether I seal or not, I just hope that the coastal areas of the country can be peaceful.
Qi Jiguang, a skilled craftsman, has been fighting the Japanese pirates in the southeast coast for more than ten years, wiping out the coastal Japanese pirates and ensuring the safety of people's lives and property along the coast. At the same time, Qi Jiguang is an outstanding weapon expert and military engineer. He reformed and invented all kinds of fire attack weapons. The warships and chariots he built made the waterway equipment of the Ming army superior to that of the enemy. He creatively built a hollow enemy platform on the Great Wall, which is a very distinctive military project.
