Why is the God of War, who kills many people on the battlefield, so afraid of his wife?

What is a national hero? Those who resist the enemy are national heroes. There are many heroes in the history of our country, but from the current perspective, not many can be called national heroes. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the Western Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu, and Yu Qian of the Ming Dynasty resisted the Mongol Oara and won the defense of Kyoto. Yue Fei fought against the Jin Dynasty Jurchens. Strictly speaking, they were dynasty heroes. The real national heroes are heroes who defend their homeland and resist foreign enemies. Zheng Chenggong defeated the Dutch invaders and regained the treasure island. Ding Ruchang and Deng Shichang fought against the Japanese invasion and made Humen burn out opium. These are all national heroes; Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty fought against the Japanese pirates. He is an out-and-out national hero.

So what is a military strategist? Military strategists are a system that encompasses Sun Wu and Sun Bin who created great military theoretical works; Han Xin and Bai Qi who are good at seeking military power; Xiang Yu who is good at military situation and tactical warfare; Zhuge Liang who is good at Yin and Yang of war; and Qi Jiguang who is good at military skills. In the history of our country, there are many military generals who can both train troops and lead troops into battle. We will not talk about the contribution of Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty in the Anshi Rebellion, nor the glorious achievements of the Yang family generals in the Northern Song Dynasty against the Khitan Queen Mother Xiao, nor the glorious achievements of the Yang family in the Northern Song Dynasty. Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty rushed straight to Huanglong Mansion to welcome back the ambition and domineering power of the Second Emperor Huiqin.

We want to talk about Qi Jiguang, the best military strategist and god of war in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Qi Jiguang was born into a military family in Shandong and lived through the Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli dynasties. His teenage years were at the peak of the Japanese invasion in the Ming Dynasty. Since the Ming Dynasty, in addition to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's outstanding achievements in foreign campaigns, other The subsequent emperors were really inferior to each other.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty carried in his bones the thought of "the emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country". His blood was full of the warlike genes of the old Zhu family. From time to time he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to conquer personally. The Ming Yingzong Zhu Qi was an armchair strategist. The town suffered a "Tumu Fort Incident" and the Ming Emperor was captured for a year. This shame always shrouded the Ming Dynasty in later generations. By the Jiajing period, the border troubles of the nomadic peoples in the northwest had not been resolved and were getting worse. At this time, Japan was rising in the east. It sent troops to invade the southeast coastal border, which made the Jiajing emperor exhausted and difficult to take care of.

Under this situation, Qi Jiguang, who was determined to protect his family and country, was recommended by Zhang Juzheng. Qi Jiguang, who was only 18 years old, was sent by the imperial court to the coast to eliminate Japanese invaders. During the encounter, the Ming army collapsed at the first touch, exposing its shortcomings such as weak combat effectiveness, internal corruption, and lack of military discipline. However, Qi Jiguang single-handedly killed the Japanese pirate leader and finally won a tragic victory. After that, Qi Jiguang began to recruit soldiers, strengthen training, and reorganize the army.

How did Qi Jiguang manage the army?

Qi Jiguang is worthy of being a first-class commander. Not only can he lead troops into battle like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, make surprise attacks from thousands of miles away, surprise the enemy and return with great victory; he is better at training troops than Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. Qi Jiguang trains troops himself. He has great research on battle formations and weapons. The Yuanyang Formation he created consists of a group of twelve people to form a combat unit. In order to perfectly combine long weapons and short weapons, he can create many weapons based on the terrain and enemy characteristics. New weapons include the Qi saber specifically used against Japanese pirates, the wolf dagger, a powerful weapon for stabbing Japanese pirates, the hugely lethal tiger squatting cannon, and other new weapons.

Qi Jiguang, like Yue Fei, the hero of the Southern Song Dynasty who fought against the Jin Dynasty, attached great importance to suppressing military discipline and building the soul of the army. Qi Jiguang has always shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and endured hardships. He is more powerful than military strategists such as Han Xin, Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang. It is easy to establish his own prestige precisely because he has been with the soldiers for a long time and has an extremely detailed understanding of the soldiers' psychology. Extremely considerate and caring for subordinates.

In addition, Qi Jiguang was strict in recruiting troops and preferred to lack troops rather than excessively; in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the court's recruitment standards were extremely low, and a large number of ruffians and street gangsters were recruited into the army. These people did not obey orders and had low quality and poor military discipline. If they are disorganized, they will not be able to form combat effectiveness at all; thousands of such soldiers are often chased by hundreds or dozens of Japanese pirates. Qi Jiguang improved the standards of soldiers and strictly controlled the incorporation of idle ruffians into the army. At the same time, he strengthened the cultivation of soldiers' quality and maintained the purity of the army so that it could form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Qi Jiguang relied on the above three aspects of military management to create a well-trained, disciplined, and brave army that was invincible and invincible. Under the leadership of Qi Jiguang, the army was *Experienced 13 major battles such as the Battle of Taizhou Huajie, the Battle of Hengyu Island Crossing the Sea, the Battle of Xianyou, and the Northern Tatar Campaign. He participated in 80 battles without losing any of them. He can be called a god of war.

Qi Jiguang not only won the respect of the entire Ming Dynasty, but also the respect of his opponents. Today's Japanese scholars speak highly of Qi Jiguang and even erect a monument to commemorate him. This is a manifestation of heroes cherishing heroes. Japan was not only impressed by Qi Jiguang's superb military tactics, good at training troops, and good at arranging troops, but also ridiculed that Qi Jiguang had "gynophobia", which is our current buzzword "hepatic control".

So, what kind of person is Qi Jiguang, who is majestic and murderous on the battlefield, at home?

Qi Jiguang’s wife, Wang, is a female general who likes to dance with guns and sticks since she was a child. She has an extremely domineering personality. She has been influenced by her family since she was a child. In her heart, she wants to be a female general like Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying who go out to command. What? The three obediences and the four virtues, husbands and children, women being popular, women's status has long been in the back of the mind. In a society where men are superior to women, Qi Jiguang will be subjected to a little domestic violence from time to time. If you think that this Wang is just a shrew, you are totally wrong. Yes, this Wang is not a simple character.

At that time, Qi Jiguang sent troops to fight against the Japanese pirates and left his family members in Xinhe City. The city was empty and there were only a few defenders. At this time, a large number of Japanese pirates raided from a distance and threatened to massacre the city. Under this crisis, Wang She stood up and imitated Zhuge Liang's version of the empty city strategy. She asked the women and children in the city to wear "Qi Jiajun" military uniforms and walk around the city generously, but the Japanese pirates outside the city did not dare to attack the city.

The Wang family was able to deal with the Japanese pirate army like this, but dealing with Qi Jiguang was a piece of cake. Qi Jiguang was often beaten by his wife at home until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Everyone in the army knew that a military commander in the Tang Dynasty was beaten by a woman, which made the man lose face. Encouraged by his subordinates, Qi Jiguang decided to give Wang a slap in the face.

Qi Jiguang ordered the soldiers to put on armor, hold bright blades in their hands, and show a murderous expression, and asked his wife to enter the camp to destroy his prestige. When his wife arrived, she saw this formation and thought to herself I had never seen any kind of battle before, and she showed no fear. Instead, she looked majestic and rounded her eyes, and shouted to Qi Jiguang: "What are you calling me for?" When Qi Jiguang saw that the situation was not good, he immediately became frightened and plopped down. He knelt down next to his wife and said, "My wife is specially invited to conduct a military parade." The generals were speechless.

In other words, many military books and tactics at that time were mostly written on paper and not practical. For example, Yu Daqiu's "Sword Classic" also talked about a lot of stick techniques and tactics. If it is not particularly professional, , just looking at the technical names in it can cause a lot of misunderstandings. Only Qi Jiguang can use the most popular language and the most practical technology. After learning it, he can actually practice it, and it is very effective in actual combat.

As a generation of military strategists and a generation of national heroes, Qi Jiguang made great achievements on the battlefield and killed many people. He went through 80 battles without losing a single victory. However, facing his wife, his legs became weak and he knelt down with a plop. , this is probably an expression of love.
