The Story of Qi Jiguang Defending Chongwu

Chongwu Ancient City is located in Chongwu Peninsula, Hui 'an County, Fujian Province. The east and north are sandwiched by two peaks of Datuo Mountain, and the west and south are surrounded by two curved bays, like a long dragon, winding through the choppy coast of the East China Sea. Martial worshipers have lived and worked here for generations. However, 600 years ago, they suddenly encountered a catastrophe. The Japanese landed in Chongwu at night, killing and setting fire. Bodies were scattered all over the floor and people's property was looted. In order to resist the invasion of Japanese invaders, in the twentieth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1387), Chongwu Haiphong City was built to defend against the invasion of Japanese invaders. The city is all built of granite, forming a relatively complete military defense system, expressing the determination of martial arts people to resist Japan and protect the environment. In the late Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the frenzied pirates were repeatedly defeated in Zhejiang under the attack of Qi Jiajun, so they shifted the focus of harassment to Fujian, and the coast of Fujian became the hardest hit area. In the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), in August, Qi Jiguang, a national hero, led 6,000 troops into Fujian to suppress Japanese pirates, and won three consecutive victories in six months. However, due to continuous operations, and many soldiers fell ill because of acclimatization, in order to meet the new battle, Qi Jiajun chose Chongwucheng as a training base at rest, and set up a China military platform on the Lotus Stone outside the south gate. On the one hand, he had a short rest, on the other hand, he stepped up his training, which laid the foundation for destroying the Japanese invaders who invaded Fujian. When Qi Jiguang worshiped Wu in An Lushan, he organized manpower to rebuild the Yugoslav capital, and built beacon towers, watchtowers, virtual platforms and roads on the walls of the east, south and north cities, which made his defense system more perfect.

The following year1October, 1 1, the Japanese army assembled more than 30,000 people from Japan and all over the country and took dozens of ships, and invaded and harassed Fujian again on a large scale. They chose Xianyou, a weak force, as a breakthrough, and formed four camps outside the east, west, south and north gates, with a force of 20 thousand. They tried to occupy the county seat by encircling it layer by layer, and then developed to the surrounding areas. In the case of being outnumbered, Qi Jiguang decided to take the defensive first, and sent an army into Xianyou in advance to help the defenders hold the city to contain and consume the enemy. After a month of fierce fighting with the enemy, the troops concentrated. Qi Jiguang is advancing the main force of Chongwu and concentrating its superior forces. First, Nanji, the enemy of Xianyou, was attacked, and then Dongji and Xiji were successfully captured. Finally, it stormed Beiji with an unstoppable trend. Before the enemy was "awake", the whole line collapsed, more than half of them were killed, and the "Xianyou victory" was achieved. After that, Qi Jiguang attacked the Japanese pirates twice in Tongan and Zhangpu, which made the Japanese pirates panic and fled the Fujian coast one after another. In less than two years, the Japanese invasion of Fujian was pacified. Martial arts practitioners love this hero who is loyal to the country and the people and spontaneously set up a monument for him. It is said that there are no fewer than ten temples and shrines in Qi Jiguang, Hui 'an County, and there are also folk martial arts organizations such as Qijia Boxing.
