Chen Qia was a minister in the early stage of the Ming Dynasty . He was born in Wu Jin and liked to study since he was a child. He is both talented with his brother Chen Ji and his younger brother Chen Jun. During the Hongwu period, he was recommended to be awarded the Military Academy because of his expertise in calligraphy.
Chen Qia was ordered to inspect the army. He could quickly record his appearance as long as the person passing by him. Zhu Yuanzhang appreciates this special talent very much. Chen Qia was still a very filial person. His father suddenly died of illness while guarding Wukai. He hurried over to attend the funeral, but happened to encounter a barbarian rebellion, causing the road to be blocked. Chen Qia had to take his father's remains and walk back with a very difficult path.
During the 2 years of Jianwen html, he was promoted to Wenxuan Doctor with the recommendation of Ru Feng, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Emperor Yongle After Zhu Di ascended the throne, Chen Cha was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and later changed to the position of Minister of Dali. In the fourth year of
Yongle, Zhu Di decided to use troops to Annan , and sent Zhu Neng , Zhang Fu , Li Bin and others to bring 800,000 troops to the army. At the same time, Chen Qia also went to Guangxi and selected soldiers with Han Guan to join the army. After the army set out, Chen Qiao mainly supervised the transportation of food and grass in the rear.
After Annan was successfully pacified, Chen Cha was transferred to the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel. At that time, Zhu Di set up a military governor in the local area, and asked Huang Fu to take charge of the charge, and also served as the Censor of the Censorate of the Censorate. At that time, Huangfu's style of governance was mainly generous and kind, and he made many measures to benefit the people of Annan. Chen Cha was responsible for selecting and promoting talented people, rectifying discipline, verifying the merits and consciences of soldiers, establishing local officials, handling the food and wages needed by soldiers, etc. Chen Cha was able to handle these complicated matters in an orderly manner. After returning to the court, Chen Qia was appointed to handle the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works.
Not long after, under the leadership of a general named Jian Ding, Annan resisted the rule of the Ming Dynasty on a large scale. Mu Sheng, who was responsible for guarding the local area, was powerless to stop it. Zhu Di had no choice but to pull Zhang Fu out and let Chen Qia attack Annan again. After that, he stayed in the local area and was responsible for the military affairs of Li Bin.
to Renzong When Emperor Zhu Gaochi was in power, he decided to recall Huang Fu and let Chen Cha take over the management of the General Administration and the Criminal Censorate, while still co-sponsoring military affairs.
At that time, a middle-aged official named Ma Qi was a greedy and violent person. With Chen Cha's prestige, he could not suppress his behavior, which led to a serious rebellion in the Annan area, among which Lili had the greatest confrontation.
The officer responsible for guarding the local army, Rongchang Bo Chen Zhi and the governor Fang Zheng, did not have enough talent to stop Lili, so that the enemy's power became stronger and stronger.
At this critical moment, Chen Qia quickly wrote a letter to the court to explain the situation and requested to send a large army to suppress it. Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji On the one hand, he wrote a letter to blame Chen Zhi and others, and ordered Chen Zhi to fight with the enemy immediately. Chen Zhi did as he did, but after a big defeat, he came back.
Zhu Zhanji only then realized that Chen Zhi was a mediocre person, so he deprived him of his official position and appointed Wang Tong, the Marquis of Chengshan, to go to the court with the seal of the General of the Conquest. Chen Qia was still appointed to counsel military affairs.
However, after Wang Tong came to Jiaoshan with his army, he did not listen to Chen Qia's opinions who were more familiar with the terrain, and he insisted on ordering forward, but was ambushed by the enemy and the Ming army was defeated.
Chen Qia was surrounded by the enemy. After fighting hard, he was shot and rolled over and dismounted. The people on both sides tried to help him retreat. In response, Chen Qiao rebuked: "I am a minister of the country and have been surviving for forty years. I will serve the country today, and I will live a righteous life." As soon as I finished speaking, Chen Cha took a knife and killed several enemy troops. After he was exhausted, he committed suicide!
