Why didn't the famous Qijiajun defeat the Eight Banners in the Hunhe Campaign?
Speaking of Qigujun, people all know that this is Amin's army led by the famous general Qi Jiguang. The original purpose of this army was to fight against Japanese pirates. Soldiers are mostly from Yiwu and Lishui, Zhejiang, so they are also called "Yiwu soldiers".

With strict military discipline, professional training and excellent equipment, Qi Jiajun was invincible in the war against Japan and achieved a series of brilliant results. Many battles were fought without any defeat, which completely solved the problem of Japanese invasion that plagued the Ming Dynasty for decades. From then on, Qi Jiajun became famous all over the world!

Later, he was entrusted with an important task and went to North Korea to supervise the war in Hebei and Liaoning. As a result, Qi Jiajun once again shined brilliantly and beheaded countless times, attracting worldwide attention! At that time, Qi Jiajun, with only 4,000 people, was already the most powerful army in East Asia, with a firearms utilization rate as high as 48%, and was the best equipped army in the world at that time.

Then, it was such a well-equipped army that was defeated by the Eight Banners of Houjin in the Hunhe Campaign in 162 1. What caused it?

After Jin besieged Shenyang, 3000 Qijiajun and 4000 Chuanbaijun rushed to the rescue. However, these 7,000 soldiers are facing the late Jin army, nearly seven times their own, totaling 50,000. They are the cavalry that Nurhachi is proud of. At that time, the slogan "Nuzhen refuses to accept, invincible" was circulated. Jurchen cavalry has a very strong fighting capacity. These cavalry have been good at riding and shooting since childhood, and almost everyone is an expert in shooting. Compared with the Qi Jiajun composed of infantry, the Nuzhen fighters, who are huge and come and go like the wind, are almost "tank chariots". Even though Qi Jiajun had the advantage of firepower, in the era of underdeveloped firearms, soldiers often had no time to shoot for the second time.

Qijiajun's combat effectiveness has declined. Facing the late Jin Dynasty, this Qijia Army was no longer at its peak. First, because Qi Jiguang had died at that time, without the leadership of the founding commander-in-chief, Qi Jiajun had already lost his "soul" and lacked the strong cohesion of the past; The second is infighting, which is the most important reason. Qi Jiajun is a professional army with high salary. The annual salary of these soldiers is 43 A Liang, far exceeding that of ordinary Ming soldiers. However, due to the extreme financial shortage of the imperial court at the end of the Ming Dynasty, not only the previous meritorious military service awards were not fulfilled, but also the ordinary military salaries were always in arrears, which eventually led to a mutiny and the soldiers demanded an explanation. As a result, Wang Bao, the town owner who had long been jealous of Qi Jiajun's exploits, executed 1700 Qi Jiajun for "unpaid mutiny". Since then, the Qi army has plummeted and its combat effectiveness has deteriorated rapidly.

Qi Jiajun, a weak friendly reinforcement, relies on its advantages to spend/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/honeymoon/ In the end, the Qi army was outnumbered, the whole army was wiped out, and no one surrendered. Of course, the late Jin army also suffered heavy casualties.

In this way, the famous Qi Jiajun disappeared from history, leaving behind a longing and a sigh.
