Hello, everyone. Let's take a look at this stop in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the Ming Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, Japan was divided into two dynasties, the North and the South, and the two dynasties attacked each other. Defeated soldiers often collude with businessmen to rob the coast of China. During the Ming dynasty, the Japanese army invaded seriously, and this campaign was carried out by the Ming army to resist the Japanese invaders. In the Yuan Dynasty, Japanese stragglers in exile colluded with adventurous businessmen to smuggle and plunder along the coast of China. Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, sent envoys to negotiate with Japan three times, all to no avail. To this end, during the Hongwu and Yongle periods, the Ming court continuously strengthened maritime fortifications and increased maritime naval patrols. In July 547, the Ming court took Zhu Wan as the prefect and was responsible for coastal defense affairs in Zhejiang and Fujian. In the second year, Zhu Wan sent troops to defeat the Japanese aggressors and occupied Shuangyu Island. But Zhu Wan was killed because he killed too many gentry who colluded with the Japanese aggressors. The enemy is thriving again. 1553, 1554, the Japanese invaders not only harassed Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, but also captured Changguowei, Shanghai, Zhapu and other places, and also promoted landing based on islands. Zhelin and Chuansha are two strongholds of the enemy. In order to change the passive situation and adjust the coastal defense deployment, the Ming court divided the coastal defense stations into regions and sent important officials to take unified command. At the same time, recruit troops as mobile units. The Ming court also appointed Zhang Jing as governor. After he took office, he concentrated his forces and annihilated more than 2,000 Japanese invaders in the hinterland of Songhang and Hangzhou on 1555. However, he was killed on the charge of "raising the enemy and losing the opportunity." Due to disunity of local troops and corruption of military discipline, soldiers can't get help from local residents, are dissatisfied with coastal water and soil, and have a poor record. The war has just turned around and is in trouble again. From 65438 to 0556, nearly 50 places in Zhejiang and Nanzhili were occupied by the Japanese army. After Hu Zongxian succeeded the governor, he used the strategy of alienating the enemy. In 1556 and 1557, he wiped out the Japanese invaders in Chen Dong and Xu Hai. 1559, Liu Xian and others annihilated the Japanese invaders in Miaowan. The Japanese plague in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces gradually eased. In the coastal defense strategy, the Ming army adopted the principle of land and water cooperation and land annihilation. At the same time, recruit new troops and train them. Including Qi Jiguang QiGuJun. Qi Jiguang not only combined the terrain to command operations, but also improved firearms and equipment, thus enhancing the overall combat effectiveness of the troops. In addition, he also created battle formations such as "Yuanyang Array" and "Sancai Array" according to the operational characteristics of the Japanese army. From then on, Qi Jiajun became the main force to effectively resist the Japanese invaders. 156 1 year, the Japanese invaders invaded Taizhou in many ways. Qi Jiguang flexibly commanded and used ambush, siege, surprise attack and other tactics to annihilate thousands of Japanese aggressors continuously. At the same time, Lu Tang also annihilated the Japanese invaders who invaded Wenzhou and Ningbo. Japan's aggression in Zhejiang was basically pacified. In order to support Fujian, Qi Jiguang entered Fujian on 1562, and successively wiped out the Japanese invaders in Heng, Linton. In October, Qi Jiguang led the army back to Zhejiang. In that month, the Japanese invaders invaded Xinghua Fucheng and Pinghaiwei, and the Ming court was furious. Qi Jiguang was ordered to enter Fujian again. 1563, under the unified command of Tan Lun, the armies of Qi Jiajun, Yu Jiajun and Liu Xian wiped out the enemies of Pinghaiwei. In winter, the enemy massed troops near Xianyou. At the beginning of 1564, Qi Jiguang defeated the Japanese invaders and solved the siege of Xianyou. The Japanese invaders in Fujian were pacified. At the same time, Yu et al. annihilated the Japanese invaders. At this point, the Japanese invasion that lasted for many years was finally pacified. How did the Ming court resist the Japanese invaders during Hongwu and Yongle periods? The Ming court first established a powerful water army, strengthened maritime patrols, and according to
In order to make up for the military expenditure, they also supported the foreign plunder of the Japanese aggressors. Therefore, Japanese pirates are rampant in the coastal areas of China, and a large number of pirates collude with local gentry and wealthy businessmen, which makes Japanese pirates more rampant.
