After Liu Ximin, the leader of the Tianjin underground party of the Communist Party of China, received instructions from his superiors to collect Tianjin city defense maps, he finally completed the task assigned by his superiors after a series of thrilling and suspenseful intelligence activities.

"Xiang Army" was the name given to the local armed forces in Hunan during the late Qing Dynasty. It was first called "Xiang Yong" and later "Xiang Army". The Hunan Army was founded by Zeng Guofan. It successively established a land division, a naval division, a camp office and a grain station. The main generals were mainly Hunanese. Zeng Guofan was from the same hometown, teachers and students, of the same age, or relatives and friends as them. The Hunan Army attaches great importance to education. Soldiers are recruited by the battalion officers themselves, and sentry commanders and captains are appointed by the battalion officers. Later, sub-commands and commanders were set up above the battalion officers to manage several battalions or dozens of battalions. All levels were subordinated, and the entire army obeyed only one person, Zeng Guofan. When the country is in trouble, just a piece of paper can send the Hunan army thousands of miles to the emergency. They resisted Russia in Xinjiang, Japan in Liaoning, the Eight-Power Allied Forces in Shanxi, and Japan and France in Taiwan and Guangxi. It grew rapidly in the process of fighting against peasant uprisings and foreign invaders from all over the country. There were 29 Hunan Army generals to governors, hundreds of provincial and ministerial officials, and countless seventh-grade holders. "Zhongxing General, Shijiu Huxiang" "Since ancient times, there is no army without Hunan, and the world's Hunan army comes out of Xiangxiang." The Hunan Army has six major factions: Zeng Guofan, Hu Linyi, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Jiang Zhongyuan and Wang Kaiyun.

Qi Jiguang was born into a military family and seemed to have been born to fight against the Japanese. He had always had great ambitions. He studied hard and practiced martial arts since he was a child. He showed outstanding abilities and a sense of selflessness. With the support of Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang recruited new troops in Yiwu, formed the famous Qi Family Army in Chinese history, designed the Yuanyang Formation, and won many brilliant victories such as Cengang and Taizhou, which frightened the Japanese pirates and called them "Qi Tigers". Subsequently, Qi Jiguang led the Qi family army into Fujian and won victories in the battles of Hengyu, Pinghaiwei, and Xianyou. Together with Yu Dayou and others, they basically eliminated the Japanese plague that had harmed China's southeastern coast for more than two centuries. After pacifying the Japanese pirates, Qi Jiguang went north to guard the border fortress and subdued the enemy's troops without fighting, so that the Mongols did not dare to invade for sixteen years. His "New Book of Records" and "Records of Military Training" are immortal classics in the history of Chinese military theory. The author uses vivid and smooth writing style and emotional brushstrokes to reproduce the legendary life of the Ming God of War - the perseverance and courage of Pingbo in the southeast, the far-sightedness of guarding the northern border, the love and hate with his wife, Mrs. Wang, and the unfortunate encounters he suffered in his later years. At the same time, it also restores that magnificent era for us.
