Qi Jiguang is a noble family, and his father is an officer in Shandong. At that time, Japanese devils often invaded the coast of China, killing soldiers and civilians in China. At that time, the worst disaster was Zhejiang, and the court sent Qi Jiguang to Zhejiang as a general. After Qi Jiguang took office, he set up his own Qigujun, invented the Yuanyang Array, and started an invincible brilliant record.
However, it is such a famous player who has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, but in the end he ended up with a bleak evening scene.
And all this is just because of one person, and this person is Zhang.
At that time, the political environment of the Ming Dynasty was very dark, and anyone who wanted to do great things had to curry favor with big officials. Under the influence of the political environment at that time, Qi Jiguang climbed to the position of imperial prime minister Zhang. He voted for a new ticket and sent a lot of money to beautiful women. See Qi Jiguang so considerate, Zhang is also very happy, very supportive of Qi Jiguang. After the victory of the Japanese invaders, Zhang transferred Qi Jiguang to the company commanders of Hebei and Liao. Qi Jiguang was very successful in resisting the Mongols on the northern border, and the court appointed him as Minister of National Defense and Little Health Care. ?
So Qi Jiguang has always been a confidant of Zhang. Of course, both of them are just using each other. Qi Jiguang wants to make contributions by doing things with Zhang, and Zhang also needs someone to do things for the emperor, which is also in his own interest. Fortunately, Qi Jiguang is a doer and does everything beautifully.
Zhang Juzheng really attaches great importance to Qi Jiguang. If his subordinates don't listen, he will be replaced. If his partner doesn't get along, he will be replaced. Qi Jiguang didn't get along well with his boss, so he was replaced. In this way, Qi Jiguang became a role that no one dared to provoke. Of course, it also laid a solid foundation for Qi Jiguang to win the battle to a certain extent. Qi Jiguang didn't live up to Zhang's high hopes, and made the best return to Zhang's reuse with brilliant exploits.
However, Zhang and Qi Jiguang's honeymoon ended in Wanli ten years, because Zhang died.
Shortly after Zhang's death, Emperor Wanli began to liquidate Zhang, and he really hated Emperor Wanli to the extreme. He really spared no effort in clearing Zhang and opposed everything related to Zhang. As a result, he was finally admitted to Qi Jiguang.
To be fair, Qi Jiguang really didn't make any mistakes. On the contrary, he worked hard in his post and kept the border well. In the big environment at that time, Zhang was the prime minister and everyone wanted to climb up. Of course, he became Zhang's henchmen.
So, in the ten years of Wanli, Qi Jiguang was transferred from the north to Guangdong to work. Although the level remains the same, this time it is different. He has lost the trust of the imperial court. Qi Jiguang knows this, but what can he do? Then go. In old age, even the money for seeing a doctor and taking medicine is gone, so a generation of famous soldiers fell down and eventually died in loneliness.
