mentioned Qi Jiguang . Anyone who is a little familiar with history or who has taken history courses in high school will be familiar with this name.
The Qi's army led by Qi Jiguang was famous in the Ming Dynasty , which made the arrogant Japanese pirates frightened. In that era, the name Qi Jiguang was once the worst nightmare of Japanese pirates.
Qi Jiguang's father was also a general of the Ming Dynasty court, but he was an upright man and did not engage in gray income, and lived only on royal wages. In the Ming dynasty, the only result of this kind of high spirits was poverty. Because in the Ming Dynasty, the salaries of civil servants were not high.
Although the family's economic conditions are very average, Qi Jiguang's father is a very ambitious person. He teaches his son to be a clean government and make meritorious deeds.
During school, Qi Jiguang dressed plainly and was in the same class with many wealthy dandies. In the beginning, these rich kids looked down on him.
But when he was 10 years old, suddenly one day, the teacher announced a message, telling all his classmates that in the future when everyone plays with Qi Jiguang, be careful not to make dangerous moves, because classmate Qi is already a fourth-rank general .
Is this a joke? 10 years old is the fourth rank general? Yes, this is the case. When Qi Jiguang was born, his father was in his 50s. When Qi Jiguang was 10 years old, his father felt that he could not do it anymore, so he went through the retirement procedures. According to the rules of the court at that time, his general position would be inherited by his son. However, the inheritance was still nominal at that time, and the substantive inheritance had to wait after the 18-year-old adult.
Although it is a family of generals,But Qi Jiguang's father attached great importance to his son's cultural education. Qi Jiguang later studied with a private school teacher at home.
In 1544, Qi Jiguang went to Beijing to inherit his father's position at the age of 18.
At the beginning, he took office at Dengzhou. At that time, Dengzhou was an important coastal town in Shandong. There were thousands of troops in the garrison alone. Together with the military and civil affairs, there were probably tens of thousands of people. This group of people has not been fighting for a long time, they have become soldiers, and the corruption is very serious.
In this situation, Qi Jiguang is determined to prepare for the martial arts exam. In this regard, Qi Jiguang is very ambitious.
At that time, even though he was already a rank 4 military attache, why did he still take the imperial examination? It's not that he was full and had nothing to do, but in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination was very important. Regardless of whether you were a relative of the emperor, a child of a senior cadre, if you were not a scholar, you would always be regarded as a fake and shoddy product.
Ten years later, Qi Jiguang took part in the Wuju Township Examination and won the first place in one fell swoop, becoming a Wuju person.
In the second year, Qi Jiguang was recognized by his superiors and was sent to work on the border.
In the first three years, he was just doing ordinary tasks like patrolling outposts, and had no chance to command the army at all.
But he is not idle. As an amateur, he carries a copy of " Grandson Art of War " and makes comments on it at any time. At the age of 28, he took over the post of General Ning Shaotai. At this time, he was full of ambition and high spirits.
After that, Qi Jiguang began his career leading the team to fight against Japanese pirates. Qi Jiguang's military ability gradually emerged.
He boldly activated the brave Yiwu people to join the army, and abandoned the original Shaoxing soldiers who were not aggressive.
The anti-Japanese record led by Qi Jiguang can be said to be unprecedented. In each battle, he can minimize the number of our victims and maximize the number of enemies killed.
To give a few examples: the Battle of Hengyu, more than 1,000 Japanese pirates were eliminated, but only 10 people were sacrificed.
In the battle of Niutian, thousands of Japanese pirates were defeated, and none of the Qi's army died.
In the battle of Ping Haiwei, more than 2,600 enemy heads were beheaded, but the Qi family army only sacrificed 16 people.
Qi Jiguang was so brave that it made the Japanese bandits frightened, but he was extremely afraid of being alone, and he was still a woman.
This woman is his wife, Wang, who later failed to give birth to a son for Qi Jiguang. In those days, if a woman could not give birth to a son, her status in the in-laws would be greatly reduced and she would be left out in the cold. In feudal society, this is the reason why mothers depend on their children.
Why is Qi Jiguang so afraid of his wife? Let's listen carefully.
Qi Jiguang married Wang Clan when he was 18 years old.
This Wang is not a village girl like Xiaofang in the village, her father was a general soldier when he was in the highest position and was a senior general in the Ming army. Leaving the door out of the tiger girl, Wang has practiced martial arts since childhood, used swords well, and had a stubborn temper. has a temper. If she uses force, Qi Jiguang is not her opponent, Qi Jiguang is often beaten and run around.
Qi Jiguang is inferior to his wife regardless of family background or fighting. Therefore, when the two of them have conflicts, most of them are Qi Jiguang giving in.
It seems that girls can’t just learn something like piano and ballet, but should learn some taekwondo, swordsmanship, etc. This may prevent violence in marriage.
Although,Wang played with a sword, and the woman didn't let her beard, but she also had a tender side.
At the beginning of the marriage, General Qi’s family was not wealthy. One time he bought a fish to improve his food. Wang prepared it and served it to the table. General Qi saw that there were only fish heads and fish tails.
Qi Jiguang guessed that his wife ate the fish herself and made no sound, but when it came time for dinner, Wang brought the rest of the fish.
Wang is so virtuous, but there is one regret. Although Qi Jiguang was married at the age of 18, he did not have a son until the age of 35. Wang is not without birth, but finally got pregnant and gave birth, and the child died at a young age. Seeing his wife is old and does not have a son yet, Qi Jiguang is actually very anxious in his heart, but he dared not ask his wife to accept a concubine.
In that era, it was actually very common to have concubines. So Qi Jiguang secretly married three concubines outside, let him continue the incense. got 3 concubines at once, probably to increase the chance of having a son. Qi Jiguang is not only proficient in the strategy of winning the art of war, but also very strategic in giving birth to a son. Because if there is only one concubine, it is very likely to give birth to another daughter, or be infertile for several years.
but it is always incapable of containing fire. The three concubines were still fighting, and a few years later, there were a few lively children. Qi Jiguang didn't dare to take the children to the house, but sometimes he would take them to the barracks to play. Therefore, Wang naturally knew.
Wang knew that she was frustrated. Unlike other women, she cried and hanged herself, and did not look for an organization. She picked up a sharp knife and ran towards Qi Jiguang and left.
Comrade Qi Jiguang is very clever. As the saying goes, he knows himself and his opponent, and he is not dead in battle. He knows his wife's skill and temper too well. He took thirty-six tactics, took the best tactic, and slipped away.
Wang rushed to the air, but still refused to give up. He stayed at home every day and threatened that if he could run, the monk could not run to the temple.
Comrade Qi Jiguang can only live in a military camp,But staying in a military camp is no way. Besides, having a son outside always allows him to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. Therefore, Comrade Qi Jiguang decided to face reality boldly. He gritted his teeth, wore a piece of armor under the casual clothes outside, and went home.
He knows that he can't go head-to-head, he can't beat his wife in terms of swordsmanship. Before his wife had time to do it, he knelt down with a plop, then cried loudly, saying that he was also a last resort, not having a son, unable to explain to his ancestors, and the family is a hereditary general, he is old, he must have a son to inherit , Still tearfully recalling the love of husband and wife in the past, once shared joys and sorrows. From this point of view, Qi Jiguang is also very smart.
The sturdy-looking Wang is also a woman after all, and his heart is softened, so he threw down the sharp knife and cried with her husband. Can be regarded as acquiescing to the fact that General Qi accepts concubines.
During the period when Qi Jiguang fought against the Japanese pirates, Wang also took the remaining women and children in the city to defend the isolated city and confronted the enemy forces, so that the enemy forces did not dare to open fire rashly until reinforcements arrived.
If Wang is just a woman who can dress up to please men, then under the circumstances, the isolated city must have been occupied by the enemy.
At that time, Qi Jiguang took the soldiers out of the city to fight, and the cunning Japanese pirates arrived at Xinhe City. Only ordinary people, women and children were left in the city, and there was no resistance.
At the critical moment, Wang came forward and called the only hundreds of soldiers to stabilize the hearts of the people.
At the same time, she also went to the armory. The armory is a place where weapons are stored. If you want to resist the Japanese pirates, you can only hold on to the arrival of reinforcements if you take out the weapons and equipment inside.
But the guards of the armory are very obedient, saying that only Qi Jiguang's orders can open the door.
At that time, there was no phone or WeChat, so Qi Jiguang could not call the guards directly. At the critical moment, Wang yelled: "What are you,Open Kumen! When General Qi comes back, let him come to me directly! "
The guard was stunned, and immediately opened Kumen and distributed weapons to the people.
Wang also put on his own family armor, boarded the city, and commanded the battle.
Wang At this time, she showed her wisdom again.
At that time, there were only 100 soldiers, and the people could only act as a facade. If you really want to fight a war, these people will definitely not work.
So, she felt Can only be outsmarted.
At that time and the Japanese pirates were very ferocious. When they came to Xinhe City, they thought they could easily enter the city and plunder. , The armed soldiers stood neatly, and from time to time they shot out bows and muskets.
Actually, some of these "soldiers" holding weapons were old men, some old ladies, and some were housewives, and they were all pulled up by Mrs. Qi anyway. Chengtou. Frightening people is still effective.
The Japanese pirates were frightened by this situation and did not dare to act rashly. They were unwilling to go back, so they camped outside the city and prepared to wait a few more days.
On the second day, Qi Jiguang’s reinforcements arrived, and the Qi family’s army launched a fierce attack. Mrs. Qi was also very brave at this time, and brought her own troops out of the city. Killed, and the rest fled separately.
In this Xinhe battle, more than 280 Japanese were killed or injured, but the Qi family army only killed 3 people. It shows how brave the Qi family army was at the time. And Mrs. Qi was also bold and faced the enemy in person. . Throughout the ages, how many women can do this?
Qi Jiguang is afraid of his wife, not only the servants in the family know it, but also his subordinates. It is said that there was such a story at that time.
At that time, the Wang family knew about concubines. Qi Jiguang did not dare to go home and could only live in a military camp.Does the subordinate feel that it is not justified to accept concubines? They think that their immediate superiors and dignified generals are too useless. Incited him one after another: Your wife is so arrogant and dare to bully you. We all wear armor and prepare swords. Waiting in the camp, you call her in, hack her to death with a short knife, and you are all over.
So, the scheduled day arrived, and his men were fully armed and laid in ambush in the camp. Qi Jiguang sent someone to invite his wife into the camp.
My wife came here as scheduled. She entered the barracks and looked at the soldiers around with swords in hand. She was not afraid. She shouted and asked Qi Jiguang: "What's the matter with me?"
Facing the strong wife, Qi Jiguang replied: " I just finished the whole team, and I invite my wife to come to the military parade!"
Of course, the above is just a story, the possibility of authenticity is relatively small. Because Wang's father was the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty and a high-ranking general, even if Qi Jiguang wanted to get rid of his wife, he would not be so fanciful and call so many people to do it. This should be known to his father-in-law, it is not a joke.
But Qi Jiguang's fear of his wife is absolutely true. It is not a general fear, but an extreme fear.
【Conclusion】
In that era, even though Qi Jiguang’s wife Wang did not give birth to a son, he could still shake Qi Jiguang and still hold onto his position, making Qi Jiguang a little bit afraid of him. Don't dare to act arbitrarily. In summary, the main reasons are as follows:
1. has a strong family background. Wang's father is the general , a senior general in the Ming Dynasty, his family is higher than that of General Qi.
There is a maiden's backing, so I feel confident enough.
2. The Wang family has practiced martial arts since childhood and used swords well. She is not an idler.
In that era,Girls generally learn poetry and act as a female celebrity, but she learns sword and sword martial arts from her father, not an ordinary woman. Moreover, learning martial arts and swordsmanship is actually very tiring. But she loved and persevered, and became a master. Even Qi Jiguang was not an opponent, so she admired the general's husband very much.
3. Wang's not only knows how to use swords but also strategies.
Only able to use swords and swords, so can the rough, but if you still read poems and books, and have strategies, such compound talents, in that era, can be said to be rare.
Fourth, Wang also has a tender side, and he still cares about her husband in his heart.
A good family background, swordsmanship, strategy and wisdom, these are the hardware conditions for Qi Jiguang to convince her.
And to make a man feel affectionate for himself, it is the tenderness of the heart, as well as the mind of sharing joys and sorrows, advancing and retreating together.
