War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Ming Dynasty was the first anti-aggression war in Chinese history. From the people's anti-Japanese struggle in 1555 to the "Qijiajun" led by the national hero Qi Jiguang in 1563, it took eight years before and after, and finally won the war of resistance. Pacify Japanese aggression, safeguard national dignity and national sovereignty, make people live and work in peace and contentment, and develop production.
The victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression basically wiped out the Japanese aggression in the Ming Dynasty for nearly 200 years. It is a famous example of fighting foreign aggression and defending the coast of the motherland, and it also provides valuable historical experience for China's coastal defense construction.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Japan was in a period of division between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and feudal princes divided themselves and attacked each other. The feudal lords who lost in the war organized warriors, merchants and ronin to carry out armed smuggling and looting harassment in the coastal areas of China, which was called "the enemy" in history.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the national strength was strong and coastal defense was emphasized. Therefore, Japanese pirates failed to cause catastrophe.
After the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, coastal defense was slack, coastal civil maritime trade was very active, and the scourge of Japanese pirates became more and more serious. In order to make huge profits, the most famous maritime merchants, Dajia and Zhejiang and Fujian, ignored the orders of the imperial court and sold goods with "foreign merchants".
They split up and formed armed smuggling groups at sea, and some even fled overseas, collaborating with the Japanese on various islands and plundering along the coast. These pirate businessmen colluded with Japanese pirates, which made the disaster in Japan more and more serious.
1555 In May, the anti-Japanese army composed of Han, Zhuang, Miao and Yao nationalities led by patriotic generals of the Ming Dynasty defeated the Japanese invaders in Wang, north of Jiaxing, Zhejiang. This is the biggest victory in the war against Japan, and it is called "the Japanese have their own troubles. This is the first time to make meritorious deeds."
In the autumn of the same year, Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general of the Ming Dynasty, was transferred from Shandong to the front line of Zhejiang as the secretariat of Zhejiang. The following year, he was recommended as a general, guarding Ningbo, Shaoxing and Taizhou, and soon changed to Taizhou, Jinhua and Yanzhou. These areas are the places where Japanese pirates often haunt and suffer the most.
After Qi Jiguang took office, he decided to recruit. After several months of rigorous organization and hard training, he established a new army of 3,000 people in Yiwu, mainly farmers and miners, and created his own "Yuanyang Array" tactical training. This army is brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly made meritorious deeds. It is called "Qi Jiajun".
156 1 year, more than 50 ships and more than 2,000 people gathered in Ningbo and Shaoxing to invade. Qi Jiguang immediately supervised the boat division to patrol the sea. The enemy then left Taizhou to harass Fenghua and Ninghai to attract the Ming army, and then took the opportunity to invade Taizhou.
Qi Jiguang left an army in Taizhou and an army in Haimen, and went to Ninghai at his own rate. Knowing that the main force of Qi Jiajun was going to Ninghai, Taizhou was empty, and the enemy divided his forces to attack Tao Zhu, Xinhe and Yitou in Taizhou. Qi Jiguang dispatched troops to launch Taizhou War with the enemy.
On April 24, the enemy plundered all parts of Xinhe City. Most of the best soldiers in the city went to war, and those who stayed were in a panic. Mrs. Qi Jiguang stepped forward, mobilized women to guard the city, and forced the enemy not to approach rashly. On 25th, Qi Jiguang sent Hu Shouren to save Xinhe in Ninghai.
On the 26th, the enemy approached the gate of New River. At this time, reinforcements arrived and the two sides fought fiercely. That night, Qi Jiajun defeated the enemy and the remnants escaped from Tieling. The next day, Qi Jiajun pursued the victory and beat the remaining Japanese troops out of the water.
After Qi Jiguang defeated the Japanese in Ninghai, he heard that the enemy who invaded Tao Zhu burned ships south and improved the temple. He thought that the enemy was trying to take advantage of the opportunity to enter Taizhou Fucheng, so he sent his troops south and decided to March in a hurry to reach Fucheng first. As a result, the two sides launched a fierce battle in Huajie Street, which is only 1 km away from the urban area.
Qi Jiajun's vanguard attacked with firearms, killing the enemy's vanguard leader, and the enemy's main force fled in rout. Qi Jiajun divided his forces and pursued in two ways. One enemy sank in the river and the other was annihilated in Xinqiao. The battle ended in a short lunch with fruitful results.
/kloc-in may, 2000, enemy troops anchored in Jiantiaoyitou sea area entered Datian town in the northeast of Fucheng, Taizhou, in an attempt to plunder Fucheng. Qi Jiguang led an army to ambush in Datianling to confront the enemy. When the enemy heard that they were prepared, they fled to Datian in an attempt to invade Xianju and plunder Chuzhou.
Datian to Xianju must pass Shangfeng Mountain, and Shannan is a long and narrow valley, which is convenient for ambushing the enemy. Qi Jiguang arrived at Shangfengling before the enemy, and asked everyone to hold a bunch of pine branches, hide themselves and prepare to meet the enemy. The Japanese 10 km long line is heading for Xianju.
Qi Jiajun waited for the enemy to enter the ambush circle, and Qi Fei, a flock of birds, tied for a song with two wings and one tail, commanding and bravely killing the enemy. The enemy was caught off guard and rushed to fight, and hundreds of people surrendered immediately. Forced to retreat to the Zhujiajian Courtyard in Baishuiyang, it was completely annihilated by Qi Jiajun.
On May 15, Qi Jiajun won the battle of Tengling again. On May 20th, the Japanese invaders who occupied Changsha before and after the Northern Regiment of Ninghai were wiped out. Since the end of April, Qi Jiajun, who was outnumbered, has won battles in Xinhe, Huajie, Shangfengling, Tengling, Changsha and other places for more than a month, annihilating thousands of Japanese pirates and dealing a devastating blow to those who invaded Taizhou.
Japanese invaders invaded Ningbo and Wenzhou, and Qi Jiajun cooperated with other Ming armies to destroy the enemy. Since then, the Japanese invaders have never invaded Taizhou on a large scale, and the Japanese invasion in Zhejiang has basically subsided. After the Japanese aggression in Zhejiang subsided, the Japanese pirates harassed Fujian one after another, and Fujian became the center of Japanese aggression.
1562 In July, Qi Jiguang was sent to Fujian to suppress the enemy. The first Japanese nest he met when he entered Fujian was Yuheng, a small island in the northeast sea of Ningde County, Fujian Province. There were thousands of pirates on the island, and the Ming army was helpless for several years.
Qi Jiguang is determined to attack this stronghold. He asked the soldiers to each take a piece of grass, and when they entered, they filled the soil with grass. The soldiers formed a mandarin duck array, and Qi personally drummed the drums, and the soldiers stepped on the grass with the sound of drums.
After landing, the soldiers bravely charged and launched a fierce battle with the enemy. Follow-up troops also waded through the mud beach, and the two sides attacked each other, confusing the enemy's position, quickly occupying the Japanese nest and burning it down. This war won the first victory against Japan in Fujian.
After the Battle of Yuheng, Qi Jiajun took a short rest in Ningde, then advanced to Fuqing, and successively captured and pulled out several Japanese caves in Fuqing. He arrived in Fuqing City on August 29th, and defeated the enemies of Tian Niu and Fuqing on September 2nd, and most of them were annihilated.
On September 13, the enemy occupying Linton was attacked by surprise, and the enemy in Xinghua area was wiped out. During the period of 10, the troops of Qijia Army returned to Zhejiang to rest and replenish their troops so as to fight again.
After Qi Jiguang returned to Zhejiang, the Japanese plundered the coastal areas of Fujian, captured Xinghua Fucheng, and burned all kinds of evil deeds in the city. Abandoning the empty city and retreating, after more than two months, Pinghaiwei was captured by Qitou and used it as a nest to harass everywhere.
Fujian is once again facing the threat of Japanese invasion. The Ming government transferred Yu, the new commander-in-chief of Fujian Province, and Guangdong, the commander-in-chief who helped Fujian in advance, to fight against Fujian and Japan together with Qi Jiguang.
1563 In April, Qi Jiguang arrived in Fujian and immediately checked the terrain of Wochao. In the battle of Pinghaiwei, the Qi family army acted as a frontal attack, and the right army acted as a coordinated attack between the two wings.
On April 2 1 day, the Qijia army divided into three roads, disrupted the vanguard cavalry of Japanese thieves with firearms, took advantage of the situation and launched a storm, and the two-wing troops went into battle together. The enemy was attacked on three sides and fled back to the nest in confusion. The third route Ming army pursued the victory, besieged the enemy in the nest, and attacked it with fire, destroying the Japanese nest in one fell swoop.
After the Battle of Pinghaiwei, Qi Jiguang led the troops to wipe out the original enemy who invaded Zhengshouning. Subsequently, he defeated the Japanese invaders in Xianyou City, Tongan Wangcangping and Zhangpu Caibuling, and gained a lot. At this point, the Japanese invasion in Fujian has basically settled. In addition, Qi Jiguang also cooperated to annihilate the enemies of Guangdong and Guangxi.
At this point, the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty won the final victory against Japan.
Qi Jiguang led Qi Jiajun to realize his ambition of destroying Japan. In the war against Japan, Qi Jiguang shared joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and strictly demanded that the soldiers should not disturb the people and make the soldiers and the people harmonious.
Strategically and tactically, the attack is unprepared and unexpected, the attack focuses on concentrating forces to fight annihilation, and the defense focuses on being proactive rather than mechanical defense, and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack in defense.
Created a unique "Yuanyang array", giving play to the mobile, flexible and rigorous combat power of collective mutual assistance and the combination of long and short weapons, and effectively attacking the enemy.
This is an important reason why Qi Jiajun defeated the Japanese enemy in many wars, and it is also a precious wealth left by Qi Jiguang and Qi Jiajun to future generations.
Little by little knowledge
1562, a group of Japanese pirates camped in Yuheng Island near Ningde, Fujian. At low tide, the island is surrounded by water and mud. With favorable terrain, the enemy built strong fortifications on the island, making it difficult for the army to attack and the water army to get close.
In order to destroy this enemy, Qi Jiguang made a plan for the army attack after inspecting the terrain. He ordered the soldiers to quickly spread straw on the mud and get to Yuheng when the sea ebbed.
Howard Duck, the enemy is unprepared. After a short period of fierce fighting, the enemy was wiped out by Qi Jiajun, and the enemy occupied Hengdao for three years. From then on, Qi Jiajun became famous, and the enemy called him "Hu Qi".
