According to historical records, Tougou Heihachirou, the Japanese army god, worships Wang Yangming. 1905, after he led the poorly equipped Japanese fleet and defeated the Russian fleet and the Baltic fleet, when the Japanese emperor held a celebration banquet for him, Tougou Heihachirou held up a waist tag with seven words written on it: "Do your best until you die".
This shows that Wang Yangming's thought has been spread, even though the meritorious military service is not particularly famous in the military, it still exists.
Maybe I knew more about Wang Yangming's mind and less about military affairs before, so it's easy to ignore his military achievements. His military achievements are also fragmentary on the Internet. When I was studying Wang Yangming, I found a homepage of "Wang Yangming's Mind Culture Center" in Malaya, which contained more detailed thoughts about Wang Yangming. You can go and have a look if you are interested.
