He can be called the most dazzling anti-Japanese general in Chinese history! The improved iconic **-Qijia knife, with its powerful and destructive power, is known as an absolute artifact in the anti-Japanese struggle! His unique Mandarin Duck formation is unpredictable, both offensive and defensive are impeccable, and the Qi family army he built with his own hands has become an undying nightmare in the hearts of the widows. However, the world's perception of this anti-Japanese hero often stops at his outstanding talents in the war against the Japanese invaders, but they do not know that he brought peace and tranquility to the country for more than ten years during the period when he was stationed at the border. He is the top military strategist who integrates Wentao and Wushu - Qi Jiguang. Qi Jiguang was appreciated by Zhang Juzheng in the thirty-second year of Jiajing (1553) and was able to personally take charge of the defense work along the coast of Shandong. In just two years, he easily swept away the troubles in Shandong, and was highly praised by the imperial court for his excellent military management, so he was transferred to Zhejiang, where the activities of the Japanese were particularly rampant.
After arriving in Zhejiang, Qi Jiguang found that the local soldiers' fear of the Japanese invaders had been deeply rooted in his bones, so he resolutely decided to go to Yiwu to select 3,000 miners and establish a huge team belonging to the Qi family's army. In the fifth year of Longqing (1571), 20,000 Japanese invaders openly launched an invasion of Taizhou, in the face of such a crisis situation, Qi Jiguang took the lead and led the Qi army to use the carefully arranged mandarin duck array, the battle of Huajie, annihilating thousands of enemies, and our army only sacrificed a few people; Immediately afterwards, Qi Jiguang led the whole army to pursue the victory, in just one month, through 13 battles, a total of more than 5,500 people were killed, known as the "Taizhou Victory", this battle laid a solid foundation for the southeast coast to clear the Japanese troubles, and played an immeasurable contribution to maintaining the border security of the Ming Dynasty! The following year, the Japanese invaded Fujian again, and Qi Jiguang led the Qi army to fight fiercely on Hengyu Island, slaughtering more than 1,000 enemy soldiers, and our army suffered a slight loss, only 13 people. Through this battle, the Qi family army became famous and powerful all over the world.
From then until the eighth year of Chongzhen (1565), the Qi family army has experienced more than 80 battles, with brilliant results, winning every battle, and the amazing battle loss ratio has reached an astonishing 1:100! In this process, Qi Jiguang not only invented new cutting-edge weapons and tactics many times, such as the 12-person group of mandarin duck formations and knight sabers, etc., which frightened the Japanese Kou, helping the Qi family army to be invincible and enjoy a good reputation!
In the last years of Jiajing, Qi Jiguang was ordered to go north to resist the invasion of the Tatar army. At the beginning of his tenure, he strictly trained soldiers, carefully planned the establishment of a car battalion, vigorously built a city wall, and defended the border in the north for 16 spring and autumn periods, so that the Mongolian cavalry was afraid to set foot in the Central Plains again, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the imperial court was no longer worried about the security of the northern border. After the death of Qi Jiguang, his way of governing the army has been passed down from generation to generation, so that there has been no war and turmoil in the northern frontier for decades, which can be called one of the miracles in the history of China's border defense! However, there are unforeseen circumstances, Wanli ten years (1582), the first assistant of the cabinet Zhang Juzheng died suddenly, Qi Jiguang, who lost his strong protection, was forced to transfer to Guangdong Province, and soon became involved in the political whirlpool, was dismissed from his official position, and returned to his hometown in his later years, and soon died of illness, ending his glorious life journey.
