Logically speaking, the world is unified now, and it will be awesome to the country.

As the emperor, Zhu Youlang should feel very proud and finally had a few days of pleasant time.

But things often go against our expectations.

Zhu Youlang received a report a few days ago that Japanese attacks occurred along the coast of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Fujian.

This made Zhu Youlang's mentality explode.

Japanese pirates?

How long has it been since the Ming Dynasty heard these two words?

You should know that when the Japanese pirates were most rampant, it was in the Jiajing Dynasty. When it was the most rampant, the Japanese pirates even dared to stroll around Nanjing City, but the Ming army did not dare to attack.

This is too embarrassing.

But this is also impossible. To put it bluntly, the Ming army was really not good enough at that time, and they were basically soldiers of the garrison.

What does the military force mean?

Basically, they are a group of farmers who farm for officers, and they live not as good as ordinary tenant farmers, and they don’t even have a whole set of clean clothes.

Such an army suffered serious escape, which led to the Ming army's vacancies.

In this way, I naturally can't count on combat effectiveness.

But the emperor Jiajing at that time did not think so. He still believed that the Ming Dynasty was the unrivaled country of the Celestial Empire.

In other words, Emperor Jiajing is shameless.

If he didn't slapped back by the Japanese pirates, he would really be sorry for the identity of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

So Emperor Jiajing simply played a ruthless person.

He directly appointed Qi Jiguang, who was unknown at the time, as the general of the Japanese suppression, and was fully responsible for the Japanese suppression.

It can be said that Emperor Jiajing's vision is still quite vicious.

At that time, Qi Jiguang was not very famous, but just a young man who relied on his ancestors to make a position of half a job.

Suddenly being called by the emperor, Qi Jiguang was quite excited.

He immediately received the order and rushed to the south without stopping.

But as soon as he arrived in Zhejiang, Qi Jiguang was stunned.

Why? It’s not because the guards are not doing well.

He found that the military troops were completely useless. It would be better to expect such an army without any desire to fight to fight against the Japanese pirates than to expect the heavenly soldiers and generals to descend to earth.

So Qi Jiguang decided to break it and start over.

He decided to establish a new army and completely escape from the shackles of the guard army.

This idea was rebellious at the time.

It is because the Wei Suo system was personally ordered by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Qi Jiguang even dared to break this system because he relied on someone to support him.

And the person who supported him was not someone else, but Emperor Jiajing.

Although Emperor Jiajing is a man who is a little confused, he is still very capable of recognizing people.

Moreover, he not only has strong ability to recognize people, but also adheres to the concept of full trust, and does not doubt people when employed.

Since he chose Qi Jiguang, he would not have any doubts about Qi Jiguang.

Facts have proved that Qi Jiguang is also quite reliable.

He selected suitable soldiers across Zhejiang and finally found the target in Yiwu.

Yiwu was quite poor at that time, but in fact, the entire western Zhejiang was not as rich as the eastern Zhejiang coast in the Ming Dynasty.

Yiwu is the first to be poor.

At that time, there was a saying that describes Yiwu, which was called seven mountains, two rivers, and one branch of fields.

This is very clear, that is, Yiwu does not have much land suitable for cultivation.

That era was a typical agricultural society. The people didn't have any land to plant and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Yiwu discovered a lot of mineral resources, so these unemployed people and strong laborers chose to work as miners.

Although being a miner is hard, at least you can get a full meal than starving to death.

It is precisely the experience of being a miner that makes the people in this area very brave.

Qi Jiguang also discovered this feature. He found that these Yiwu miners rarely have families, and they are all strong men of appropriate age.

Isn’t this the most suitable soldier for him to choose the new army?

Qi Jiguang immediately decided to recruit new troops from Yiwu miners.

If this army source is in place, it is time to start forming an army, right?

But there was one thing that Qi Jiguang didn't expect, that was that these Yiwu miners were unwilling to join the army.

Why is this?

After asking, I found out that these men in Yiwu have a strong local complex and are unwilling to leave their hometowns and go far away.

This is a lot of trouble.

Although Qi Jiguang was ordered to form a new army, he could not do anything randomly.

These miners are unwilling to apply for recruitment and become recruiters. He can't force others to use a knife to make a fool.

So Qi Jiguang was eager to persuade these Yiwu miners to enlist in the army.

He knew it with emotion and reason. He was so hard that he would spray the stars on his face.

This really touched these Yiwu miners.

People are not plants and trees, so who can be ruthless?

People's hearts are full of flesh.

A general like Qi Jiguang did not hold it at all, but personally persuaded them.

If they don't even want to do this, they will really not take people seriously.

So, Qi Jiguang's bitter plan played a role at that time and successfully formed his own team.

This team is the Qi family army.

After the Qi family army was formed, it was training. Qi Jiguang spent several months training the Qi family army into a trump army that scared the Japanese pirates. Of course, it was not as simple as talking.

He developed a complete training plan, and all soldiers had to follow it.

This plan proved to be effective.

The combat effectiveness of the army soldiers trained through this plan is quite strong.

But the Japanese pirates didn't know that they had confronted the Qi family's army head-on several times, but they were beaten to the Qi family's army and abandoned their armor.

Now, the new recruits from the Qi family army were even more out of control when they saw blood and killed people.

As new troops, they have a fierce momentum, but they are not experienced enough.

However, after several battles, their experience was also accumulated.

When the Japanese pirates saw this, they were even more panicked.

So where there is the Qi family army, the Japanese pirates basically dare not appear again.

They plundered the coastal areas around the Qi family army, thinking that the Qi family army would definitely not be able to take care of it.

But who knew that Qi Jiguang was also a ruthless person. After going to Shandong, he went to Zhejiang, to Nanzhili, to Fujian, and to Guangdong.

Suddenly, Qi Jiguang's Qi family army became a firefighting team, and went wherever it was bright.

Japanese pirates rarely win when they meet the Qi family army.

They lost too many times, and they really lost confidence.

He even heard the news of the Qi family army coming from afar and ran away.

As a result, the Qi family army became famous and the Japanese pirates knew that this tough bone was not easy to mess with.

Instead of being frightened here, it is better to start a different place.

As a result, the Japanese plague that had plagued the Jiajing Dynasty for many years completely disappeared.

In the entire Longqing, Wanli, Tianqi, and Chongzhen dynasties, few people heard the words "Japanese pirates", let alone the Japanese plague.
