The origin of Yu

Yu (1503- 1579), a native of Jinjiang, Quanzhou, Fujian Province, was a famous anti-Japanese soldier, strategist, poet and national hero in the Ming Dynasty.

I fought against the enemy all my life and made outstanding achievements. He led the "Yu Jiajun" to scare off the enemy, and together with Qi Jiguang, he was called "Yulong Qihu", which wiped out the puppet enemy who had struggled for many years and took the opportunity to make trouble. Because of his numerous military exploits, he was often impeached, dismissed from his official position, and lied about military service, never caring. Set up a chariot battalion and design and create tactics to deal with cavalry with chariots. Officially awarded to General Ping Man, he was posthumously named Wu Xiang.

He is the author of military and martial arts works such as An Introduction to Sun Tzu's Art of War, Sword Sutra, Recent Situation of Washing the Sea, and Summary of Continuing the Martial Arts Sutra. Later generations compiled Yu's poems into Zhengqi Hall Collection.

In his early years, Yu studied the Book of Changes with Wang Xuan and got the True Biography of Cai Qing. Later, I took Zhao Benxue as my teacher and studied the art of war deduced from Yi. Yu once said that the number of the art of war begins with five, just like a person has hands, feet and five bodies. Although there are millions of people, they can be used in coordination as one person. Then he followed Li to learn fencing.

Although Yu's family repeatedly complained about poverty, he was in high spirits. After his father died of illness, Yu gave up his studies and inherited the title of a hundred surnames. In the 14th year of Jiajing (1535), he ordered Zhongwu to guard the Golden Gate for thousands of households. The soldiers and civilians here often make trouble without reason, go to court and are difficult to govern. I used the method of enlightenment to induce them to put comity first, so the lawsuit was finished. At that time, Japanese pirates made trouble repeatedly, so they wrote a letter to the provincial judge. The provincial judge said angrily, "How can a small military school deserve books and words?" Will be in a disorderly stick, and deprived him of thousands of Wu Zhi.

Mao Bowen, the minister of the Ministry of War, went to Annan and wrote a letter, stating the operational strategy and requesting to join the army. Mao bowen was surprised by his military views, but it was a pity that he did not use them immediately when withdrawing troops.

In the twenty-first year of Jiajing (1542), the Mongolian army attacked Shanxi on a large scale, and the emperor issued a letter to elect the warriors in the world. Therefore, Yu recommended himself to the suggestion, and the suggestion reported to Mao bowen. Mao bowen sent him to see the commander-in-chief of Xuanda, and Yu discussed the military. Every time Judas persuaded him, he said guiltily, "I shouldn't have received you as a soldier." And left the seat to salute, shocking the whole army. However, it was not reused after all, so I left. Then Mao bowen used Yu Shouting Zhou, Zhangzhou and Wu Ping to build a "reading place", held a literary meeting with local literati, recited poems, and taught swordsmanship every day. Yu has broken the pirate Kanglao many times and captured more than 300 people. Yu's office promotion department is responsible for this matter, which belongs to Guangdong Dusi.

be besieged/embattled on all sides

In the 26th year of Jiajing (1547), Tan repeatedly rebelled in Xinxing, Enping and other places, and the Governor Ouyang Bijin left the matter to Yu. So he told the people to hold their own territory, and took a few followers to visit the leader himself and teach them fencing. There is a man named Su Qingshe who can shoot tigers. So he killed him and let the leader take the risk.

In the 28th year of Jiajing (1549), Zhu Wan, the right deputy governor of Fujian, recommended him as the governor of Japan. At this time, Annan invaded and Ouyang Bijin worked for. Earlier, Annan ordered Mo Fuhai to die, and his son Mo Hongling was still young. Minister Ehan Juan wants to support his son-in-law Mo Jingdian, and another minister, Fan Ziyi, wants to support his henchmen Mo. They kill each other. Mo was defeated in the middle and took more than 100 people to the Ming Dynasty. Fan Ziyi collected the remains and fled to Haidong. At this time, Fan Ziyi pretended that Mo Hongling was dead and came to welcome Mo Zhongzheng back to the throne of Annan. Fan Ziyi invaded Qin Zhou and Lianzhou, disrupting the border, and Ouyang Bijin sent a crusade. Yu quickly led the army to Lianzhou, and Fan Ziyi rushed to attack Lianzhou, but Yu's water army had not arrived yet, so Yu sent someone to surrender, claiming that the court had sent troops, but Fan Ziyi did not know the truth and led the army to withdraw. But not long after, our water army arrived, so they set an ambush in Guantouling to ambush Fan Ziyi's army. Fan Ziyi invaded Qinzhou again, intercepted the warships of Fan Ziyi's army, pursued Fan Ziyi's army, captured Fan Ziyi's younger brother alive, and beheaded him at the rank of 1,200. Yu chased Fan Ziyi's army to Dongyuntun and ordered Mo Hongling to kill Fan Ziyi, so Mo Hongling took Fan Ziyi's head and dedicated it to Yu.

In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing (1557), Hu Zongxian followed Don Lew's suggestion and made a deal with Wang Zhitong, but Yu expressed firm opposition. Later, Wang Zhi was arrested and imprisoned, and Mao Haifeng, the figurehead of Wang Zhi, occupied Zhoushan and cengang. When Yu led the army to conquer, Qi Jiguang also led the army to join forces with Yu, surrounded Mao Haifeng and attacked in all directions. However, due to the high terrain of cengang, it is difficult for Yu and Qi Jiguang to attack. Although there were some small victories, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and were surrounded for a long time, but they did not attack. The enemy kept coming with reinforcements. The imperial court urgently urged Hu Zongxian to go to war, and Hu Zongxian perfunctory with big words. At this time, the ministers in the DPRK actually began to vilify Hu Zongxian and impeach Yu, so the court removed Yu and Qi Jiguang, and set January as the deadline for pacifying the enemy.

So an incorruptible general is very kind to his subordinates. He made several outstanding achievements and became famous in the Southern Territory. However, Li was impeached on charges of rape and greed, and the Ministry of War resolutely defended him. The emperor ordered it to be returned to its original place. Later, it was used as the book of Fu You. Before taking office, he was appointed as the company commander of Fujian Province.
