He is the "Qi Tiger" in the mouth of the Japanese pirates. He has never been defeated in more than a hundred battles in his life. He is also the "coward" in front of his wife. He can kneel quickly, run quickly, and has even done things like getting under a bed.
Qi Jiguang, the most capable man in the Ming Dynasty, was afraid of a woman his whole life.
He joined the army at the age of sixteen and lost his father at the age of seventeen. From a poor military officer's son in Dengzhou, Shandong, he worked his way up to become the commander-in-chief of Jizhen and the prince Shaobao. He recruited miners from Yiwu and trained the Qi family army, which frightened the Japanese pirates. He invented the Yuanyang Formation and achieved nine battles and nine victories, annihilating 5,000 enemies and losing less than 20 people. At the foot of Xinhe City, his wife Wang Zhen'e wore armor to defend the city and retreated from the enemy in an empty city; but he carried her behind his back and took three concubines outside and gave birth to five sons.
He relied on Zhang Juzheng's iron fist to guard Jimen for sixteen years. The Mongolian cavalry did not dare to go south to herd horses. When Zhang Juzheng died, he was liquidated and dismissed from office. His younger brother and his family died on the way back home, and his wife decided to leave. The sixty-year-old hero died of coughing up blood in the wind and snow of the twelfth lunar month, with only a veteran and half a bowl of gruel left by his side.
This is the story of Qi Jiguang. It is not only the glorious military exploits of a famous general, but also the struggle and debt of a man between the times, power, desire and conscience.
"The title of Marquis is not my intention, but I hope the sea will be peaceful." He defeated the Japanese pirates and the Mongols, but he could not calm the feelings.
Open this book and see how the hero fought countless battles to become a god, and how he lost to the word "love" in the end.
Purpose: To eulogize Qi Jiguang's heroic spirit of protecting his family and country and serving his country sincerely. At the same time, through the contradiction between his merits and family, power and conscience, it reveals the sacrifice and regret behind the hero's glory, and conveys the noble pursuit and taste of life that "it is not my intention to be a prince, but I hope the sea will be peaceful".
