According to the "Ming History" compiled by Qing Dynasty , an incredible incident occurred during the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing : more than a dozen Japanese pirates killed Ming Dynasty 6,000 troops . However, many people believe that the Qing Dynasty dared to do so, this should be true.
In fact, just looking at the amount of is comparable to , dozens are more than 100,000, I feel that the Ming army is sure to win, and will defeat the Japanese pirates and flee in panic. However, the facts are exactly the opposite.
In the era of cold weapons, more than a dozen Japanese pirates were able to rampant in Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, and they also killed more than 6,000 troops, which shows how strong the Japanese pirates are.
The composition of Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty
Most of the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty were Japanese samurai and ronin. Some of them were affected by the sea ban and in order to make a living, and they were forced to join the Japanese pirates in the party. One of them was a genuine Anhui Wang Zhi . By chance, became the boss of Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty.
Because Japan was in war at that time, many Japanese samurai also lost their stable source of economic resources. Because they received professional training since childhood and had extremely rich combat experience, they were attracted by Wang Zhi, the leader of the Japanese pirates, and were successfully hired by him.
The weapon that Japanese pirates are best at using is the Japanese sword. The steel sword comes from Japan. The sword is long and sharp, and the material of the Japanese sword is also very good.
The shrewd and cunning Japanese pirates only need to send out a few Japanese samurai with great swordsmanship at a time. They can cut off a row of single shots from the Ming army with a light fight, successfully creating panic.
According to the "History of Ming Dynasty: Biography of Japan", Japanese pirates set off from the coast and came to Nanling County when they encountered resistance from more than 300 Ming troops. They easily defeated the defenders and successfully occupied Nanling County and did whatever they wanted.
When the Ming troops who reinforced the county arrived one after another, the people in the county seemed to see the dawn of victory and felt that it was just around the corner to reverse the current situation. However, something shocking happened, and the Japanese pirates were able to catch the bow and arrow with their bare hands.
The Ming army who came to support him saw this scene, they were so scared that they fled, which led to a situation of defeat without a fight. This situation has a lot to do with the attitude of neglecting training and being mediocre. Once you go to the battlefield, you have almost no chance of winning.
Japanese pirates are not only strong in combat, but also very cunning and scheming. In " Chart Editing ", the sentence "slim and scheming, fierce and good at fighting" is used to describe Japanese pirates.
From the "Battle of Cherry Garden" in history, you can see the cunning of the Japanese pirates. When the Ming army came to the cherry orchard outside the south of the city, they did not show any panic, but instead were there to entertain themselves and play games.
They took off their armor and put on their tattered beggar's outfit. Little did they know that there was a sharp blade behind this, and they would launch a sudden attack on the Ming army stationed in Cherry Orchard at any time, which caught them off guard and wiped out the entire army.
The good general of the anti-Japanese war " Hu Zongxian " died unjustly
When it comes to the famous anti-Japanese war general of the Ming Dynasty, the first thing we think of is the national hero Qi Jiguang . Few people mention this good general of the anti-Japanese war "Hu Zongxian". Throughout history, he has been mixed in evaluation.
Stills of Hu Zongxian
By checking relevant historical materials, it is not difficult to find out his great contributions to the anti-Japanese war. At the same time, he was also deeply hurt by the political corruption of the Ming Dynasty at that time and eventually died unjustly.
Hu Zongxian, who was born in a Jinshi, has always had lofty ambitions that are unwilling to be ordinary. In the 33rd year of Jiajing, he became the inspector of Zhejiang. At that time, Zhejiang was deeply hurt by Japanese pirates, and it was in chaos and very difficult.
Because the Japanese pirates are very powerful, the Ming Dynasty's anti-Japanese organization was also complicated. The Ming army's discipline was slackened and the morale of the army was dispersed, which made Hu Zongxian fall into a dead end with no progress. Although the road ahead was full of thorns, he never gave up his original intention.
In order to successfully fight the Japanese pirates and let the people live a stable life, Hu Zongxian gave up his dignity and once pleased Yan Song .Because only by obtaining his support can we better solve the current difficulties faced by the Anti-Japanese War.
Historians said that "Without Hu Zongxian, there would be no Qi Family Army " shows his high status. He has never stopped on the road to fighting against Japanese dynasty. No matter how difficult it is, as long as the Japanese pirates can disappear in this territory, he will not miss any opportunity.
And he is also a person who likes to value talents and distinguish between rewards and punishments. Qi Jiguang was promoted and cultivated by him. They once worked together to train an army with strict military discipline, known in history as the Qi family army.
Of course, it is precisely because of him that the Ming army, who had always been depressed and had no intention of fighting, was revived. Under the leadership of Qi Jiguang, this army achieved a very amazing record and was admired by all the people.
Hu Zongxian has always adhered to the principle of serving the people sincerely and considering the people everywhere. Even under the double suppression of the Japanese siege and the court, he did not give up his original intention and never "beat the people for the sake of the Japanese siege" .
Hu Zongxian used a clever trick to capture the pirate leader Wang Zhi, and his members Xu Hai , Chen Dong and others, allowing the people of the Ming Dynasty to see a new dawn.
, but was implicated by the dark political struggle at that time, and classified him as Yan Song's villain. He had been enduring humiliation and finally followed the path of Zhu Wan and died unjustly. shows how dark the Ming government was at that time, and it was inseparable from right and wrong, which made countless heroes who made great achievements disappointed.
Ming Dynasty was deeply affected by the slackness of military discipline and the collapse of the system
0 The darkness of the Ming Dynasty government was part of the reason why no one was willing to go into battle to kill the enemy, fight bravely, and sacrifice himself to achieve the greater one when Japanese pirates appeared.
Another very important reason is that the military garrison system adopted by the Ming Dynasty at that time. Most of the military garrison soldiers were army members composed of peasants. They had not received professional training, rarely went to the battlefield, had insufficient troops, and most of the soldiers were old, weak, sick and disabled.
This is also why Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang adopted the recruitment system , re-recruiting soldiers, and training a Qi family army. As a result of the economic situation at that time, there was poor food and grass, no intention of fighting, and many deserters appeared.
The Ming Dynasty could not defeat the Japanese pirates, which also had a lot to do with the fact that the Japanese suppression was not active and strict enough, and the government did not pay enough attention to it. It only knew that the maritime ban was implemented and did not want to deal with it.
By looking through a large number of historical books, we can learn that after the Japanese pirates were driven out of the occupied territory in the late Jiajing period, they lost news and there were no relevant historical records.
From here we can see that the combat strength of Japanese pirates is not as strong as we imagined. It is difficult for to kill 6,000 people in the Ming Dynasty to have a second time.
proved that is through Zhang Tingyu's " Ming Shi " and Zheng Ruozeng's "Chuhai Tu Bian" and other historical materials. This incredible thing that appeared in the Ming Dynasty: more than a dozen Japanese pirates killed more than 6,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty, which is of certain authenticity.
This kind of thing has a lot to do with the inaction of the rulers at that time, which leads to political darkness, poor military discipline, backward system, and unscrupulous implementation strategies, giving Japanese pirates an opportunity to take advantage of, do whatever they want, and have no power to resist.
