There are two famous armies in history, one is Yue Jiajun and the other is Qi Jiajun. Regarding Qi Jiajun, it is impossible to end the story of this army just by using the word "strong".

Qi Jiajun is called Qi Jiguang. Its initial task was to resist the Japanese on the southern coast, and then it was transferred to the capital to fight against Mongolia. Countless battles, large and small, won a great victory and shocked the enemy.

What was the final outcome of Qi Jiajun who alarmed the enemy? Not on the battlefield, but on the court.

The Qijia army is strong, not only because the soldiers are brave and disciplined, but also because the array and equipment are first-class. The array is mainly a changeable mandarin duck array, equipped with artillery, machetes and wolves. With these, Qi Jiajun became the most powerful army in East Asia at that time.

We only use the proportion of firearms to illustrate that at that time, the firearms of the new army of the Ottoman Empire accounted for more than 30%, and the proportion of comprehensive firearms of the Qijiajun battalions trained by Qi Jiguang in Jizhou was more than 40%, so some people called it the strongest army on the surface at that time.

However, the final outcome of such an army is tragic. Instead of destroying the enemy, he was brutally killed by the Ming court in the civil strife. What happened?

We should also start with Qi Jiguang's resistance to Japan.

Qi Jiguang formed the QiGuJun.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the situation was turbulent and the foothold of the Ming Dynasty was unstable. Local pirates along the southeast coast and frustrated local tyrants and ronins in Japan are also armed smugglers and robbers. They are called Japanese pirates. By the middle of16th century, the Japanese pirates had become a scourge in the local area, and hundreds of thousands of people were harassed.

In A.D. 1555, the imperial court moved Qi Jiguang to the capital of Zhejiang. Since then, Qi Jiguang has experienced more than ten years of anti-Japanese occupation. At the beginning of the anti-Japanese occupation, Qi Jiguang was at a loss.

The fighting capacity of the Ming army is really poor. These people can suppress the family, but they really met their sworn enemies, which can only be described as embarrassment.

Faced with this situation, Qi Jiguang wants to form a mighty army. He heard that people in Yiwu and other surrounding areas are brave and not afraid of death, so he will go to Yiwu to recruit. This is consistent with the statement of Zhao Dahe, the county magistrate of Yiwu.

It is said that Zhao Dahe's fighting capacity is also poor, but the people in Yiwu under his jurisdiction are different. Therefore, Hu Zongxian, the superior leader of the two propositions, admitted that the Qigujun was born with Qi Jiguang as the general and Yiwu and others as the soldiers. What was the final outcome of Qi Jiajun who alarmed the enemy? Not on the battlefield, but on the court.

After the formation of Qigujun, Qi Jiguang began to train this unit and teach the array method. In addition, Qi Jiguang reformed and invented all kinds of fire weapons, and built warships and tanks. The Ming army was better equipped than the enemy, and then the Qi army showed great power.

The main achievements of qi jiajun.

After the completion of the Qijiajun, this army began the journey of conquering the enemy in the south and the Tatar in the north. In the war against the enemy, Qi Jiajun bravely shocked the enemy, and this army completely refreshed its combat effectiveness in the eyes of the enemy. The main battles are the Battle of cengang, the Battle of Taizhou, the Battle of Fujian, the Battle of Xinghua and the Battle of Immortality.

The Ming court saw the bravery of the Qi family army, so it proposed that Ming Muzong protect the Qi family army from the brave Tatars. This suggestion was approved by the emperor, so the army began to defend the Tatars. Although the nomadic Tatars were brave, their fighting capacity was obviously unable to play in front of Qi Jiajun's firearms, and Qi Jiajun continued to create his own myth.

Qi Jiajun fought against Japan.

Later, Zhang, the first assistant of the Ming cabinet, died of illness, and Qi Jiguang, who belonged to Zhang, was impeached by Zhang Dingsi in the incident. Because of Qi Jiguang's great contribution, the emperor also panicked.

So he took this advice and transferred to Qi Jiguang. Qi Jiajun also stayed in the north, but was later impeached by Zhang and Qi Jiguang was dismissed. After returning home, the national hero died of depression.

Of course, because Qi Jiguang was transferred, Qigujun, who stayed in the north, faced a crisis. As a result, the army was far away in the north, when the Ming army had local troops in the north. In this way, within the Ming army, the struggle between the northern and southern armies also intensified, but with the downfall of Qi Jiguang and the subsequent General Qi Jiajun, Qi Jiajun fell into crisis.

Because of the infighting, Qi Jiajun went bankrupt.

In the twenty-third year of Wanli, infighting broke out in the Ming Dynasty. In other words, in this infighting, Qi Jiajun in the north was brutally hanged by the Ming court, but the reason was very simple. The lack of food in the Ming court triggered the rebellion of Qi Jiajun, which was ruthlessly suppressed. It seems simple, but the reasons behind it are quite complicated.

It stands to reason that Qi Jiajun, with such a strong fighting capacity, was relied on by the Ming court. Why can he do something about the food shortage? Isn't this a forced rebellion? Actually, it's this time. As we have said, Zhang died, Qi Jiguang mobilized, and this Yugoslav army lost its momentum in the court.
