Statue of Qi Jiguang
The Ming Dynasty attached great importance to literature and not military affairs. The Ming Dynasty attached great importance to civil servants, and military attache was far inferior to civil servants in both status and proportion in North Korea. As a military commander, Qi Jiguang was naturally ignored at first, but these wars against the Japanese aggressors made him discover his military talents, and Qi Jiguang himself knew the weakness of military commanders, so he got involved with a civilian with real power in North Korea. This man is Zhang, the emperor's teacher. With Zhang's support, Qi Jiguang was able to firmly grasp the military power of North Korea and actively participate in the battle. So he was able to fight against the Japanese aggressors in an all-round way and fight against Mongolia in the north. However, with the death of Zhang, all this has returned to the original point, and Zhang's civilian forces, who have been bullying the military attache, have been forced to identify with the military attache. This is undoubtedly a disgrace to the civil servants who have been dominant in North Korea since Ming Taizu's time. Therefore, after Zhang's death, Qi Jiguang was severely suppressed by civil servants. Even the emperor no longer recognized the hero's past exploits, but was demoted again and again. Even Qi Jiguang's resignation was rejected by the emperor as his punishment. In the end, this short-lived hero can only return to his hometown in his later years.
within a few years of his return to his hometown, Qi Jiguang was disheartened by the imperial court and died of poverty and illness.
Speaking of how Qi Jiguang died, the whole world felt sorry. Unfortunately, the hero was born in the wrong era, so he died down and out.

In terms of time, Qi Jiguang was born in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. The decline of economy, culture and politics in Ming Dynasty began to appear in Jiajing period. Emperor Jiajing tried to reverse the crisis of the Ming Dynasty, but he still could not prevent the Ming Dynasty from falling into the crisis of poverty and weakness. In 1546, Qi Jiguang witnessed the invasion of coastal people by Japanese pirates. They robbed people's property and killed unarmed coastal people. Qi Jiguang was very angry and wrote a classic sentence "Zhu Haiboping". Seven years later, under the recommendation of Zhang, Qi Jiguang served as a commander and fought against the enemy in Shandong. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, when Qi Jiguang lived, the Japanese invaders ran rampant everywhere, which enabled Qi Jiguang's outstanding military talents to be brought into play.
Secondly, the Ming Dynasty, where Qi Jiguang lived, implemented the maritime ban system. The maritime ban system was promulgated and implemented in Ming Taizu, and it was still implemented in Jiajing and Wanli years. During the Yongzheng period, in order to show the strength of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He led troops to the Western Ocean three times. All countries along the way know that the Ming Dynasty is a country with vast territory and abundant resources, and they all want a piece of the action. The stricter the maritime ban system implemented in the Ming Dynasty, the more the Japanese wanted to come to the coast to rob the people's property. Qi Jiguang lived in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and devoted himself to fighting Japanese invaders, thus becoming the patron saint of coastal people.
Qi Jiguang commented
Qi Jiguang was an indispensable general in the Ming Dynasty, and his contribution to China continues to this day. When we mention this hero, the first thing we praise is Qi Jiguang's military thought. He made more than enough weapons to deal with the enemy.

But how was such a patriotic general tempered? How did the evaluation of Qi Jiguang come from? This is inseparable from his family. Influenced by his father, he loved the army since childhood and determined to be a good general for the country and the people. As an adult, he inherited the position of his father and began his bloody life. How firm a person's heart must be to persist in a dream for decades. Qi Jiguang did it, and his achievements greatly exceeded his father's. He was brave and talented all his life, and he was a rare talent in the Ming Dynasty.
The Japanese enemy is a defeated soldier. They rob houses in China and commit all kinds of crimes. It is also because of Qi Jiguang that people can be protected from Japanese invasion. The downfall of the Japanese invaders made Qi Jiguang a national hero overnight, but he deserves such a title. People love him, and he is a hero of our people. Today, he would be a great hero fighting the Japanese. Should be awarded the highest honor, but Qi Jiguang was very low-key. After Kou invaded, he turned to build the Great Wall and did it himself.
such a commander-in-chief eats, lives and works with soldiers, regardless of treatment. This is a valuable spirit, but Qi Jiguang is used to it. He doesn't consider himself a leader. In his mind, he is just an ordinary person who shares honor and disgrace with the motherland. It is precisely because of this thought that this hero's extraordinary life has been achieved. Of course, we should give high praise to such a hero.

Qi Jiguang said that he followed his son's example in order to maintain military discipline. Qi Jiguang grew up in a general's family, so it is inevitable to become a general against foreign enemies. I wrote poems from an early age to express my helplessness to the national turmoil, but I couldn't control my identity. The story of his beheading can fully prove that he is an excellent strategist. His story has also been adapted into a drama script by many folk artists in China, and has been widely sung since then.
When Qi Jiguang was young, he began to lead troops to fight against Japanese pirates and foreign enemies. Once when Qi Jiguang resisted foreign invasion in Taizhou, he found that there were too many pirates at this time. Most of them robbed more than 3 people along the coast. Qi Jiguang saw that the situation was not good, so he sent his child Yin Qi to ambush in front. Qi Jiguang pretended to fail to escape, took the pirates to the ambush place and ordered Yin Qi to attack them. But at that time, Yin Qi was young and energetic, and she felt too eager to fight with each other. So Qi Jiguang went out to attack the enemy without giving an order. As a result, some enemies fled. After Qi Jiguang returned to the base area, he didn't win the battle because his son didn't obey the military discipline. He pulled Yin Qi out and beheaded her in public. This is the famous story of Qi Jiguang's beheading.
Qi Jiguang can do this, which shows that he is a real gentleman who sacrificed his son for national security. The story of Qi Jiguang beheading his son is still told by people today.
Qi Jiguang quality
Qi Jiguang is a star that will never fade in the long river of the Chinese nation. Qi Jiguang was born in the Ming Dynasty when the Japanese were in turmoil. At that time, the phenomenon that the central court valued literature over martial arts was very obvious. When the country was in turmoil, Qi Jiguang flatly chose to give up literature and become a soldier. At the suggestion of a friend, Qi Jiguang chose to join the army. This step also determines that Qi Jiguang's life is destined to be related to the military life sleeping on the street, and at the same time, he has lost the prosperity that secular people long for. Qi Jiguang chose Marco Polo to be buried with wealth, knowing the national justice is also one of his qualities.
