At that time, the enemy had defeated Changguowei in Ningbo and Linshanwei in Shaoxing and turned to attack Songyang. In less than a month, they attacked most parts of eastern Zhejiang. Wherever he went, he burned, killed and looted, and did everything he could, ignoring the Ming army. Immediately after arriving, a small team was sent to conduct reconnaissance and found that the enemy was very mobile. Today, he is here, and tomorrow he will be there. The main way to meet him is to accompany the warships, disembark and land everywhere, and then take advantage of the chaos to rob the ships and escape. The complex terrain and numerous waterways in eastern Zhejiang naturally brought a lot of trouble to the pursuit of the Ming army. As an outstanding military general, after analyzing the enemy's situation, Yu believes that the main tactics of the Ming army should not be chasing troops, but can only go around the enemy's back and never catch up. The best way is to clean up the enemy ships on the river so that the enemy can be rescued, and then go into the sea one by one with heavy troops and attack side by side, and set up naval divisions along the coast in advance to form a siege. Some people object that if the Japanese retreat is broken, it will definitely make the Japanese army attack with all its strength and attack the hinterland, which will be very serious. I argued. He said: After all, Japanese pirates are the enemy of aggression. The reason why they dare to invade our territory is that they can escape with ships and boats, and once they enter the sea, they can't catch up. Therefore, they have been harassing only along the coast. If they go deep into the mainland and lose contact with the sea, they will be completely suppressed by our army. Therefore, as long as the warship is destroyed, it will be saved, and it will enter our country after being saved. Only the art of war can save it. How can you be defeated? Yu's strategy was supported by his boss. He was authorized to mobilize the Ming navy along the coast of Fujian and distribute Fujian-made ships on coastal islands, waiting for an opportunity to lead elite troops to raid Japanese warships along the river.
In March of the thirty-second year of Jiajing (1553), Yu led a ship in central Fujian to attack the enemy's new nest in Putuo Mountain. At that time, Huizhou people colluded with the Japanese pirates to invade the customs of Yu Memorial Hall Town, and were countered by the defenders of the Ming Dynasty. He retreated to Jintang Island and assembled in Ligang. Due to the dangerous situation in Jintang Island, the officers and men were difficult to overcome for a while. In March of the following year, after carefully scouting the terrain of Jintang Island, Wang Shu, the prefect of Zhejiang and Fujian, made a careful operational plan, sent Yu, a member of the Senate, to attack the enemy's retreat from Xihoumen, and adopted the tactics of attacking from both sides, fighting with Qi Jiguang, Deng Cheng and other generals in Ningbo, Shaoxing and Songyang counties in Fujian, burning dozens of ships and capturing more than a thousand people. This battle was also the first great victory in Zhoushan's anti-Japanese history, with far-reaching influence. Therefore, Li Port was renamed as "Pingwo Port". In order to praise Yu's anti-Japanese achievements, the local people also set up a "Pingwu Monument" in Ligang for future generations to pay tribute to. (The monument is now a key cultural relic protection unit in the city. ) When the thief escaped, he was stopped by Yu.
Sure enough, the pirates who fled into the land and plundered had to return to the army to rescue the warships and desperately break through to meet the warships at sea. According to Yu's arrangement, the Ming army on land set sail for the sea to pursue, and together with Yu's shipmen who were lying in ambush at sea, formed an encirclement in Songjiang area, annihilated the fleeing enemy, and won the first large-scale victory in the history of anti-Japanese war, while Yu only gave them the same salary.
In the thirty-third year of Jiajing (1554), according to Ningbo Putuo, Yu, and his troops, the enemy situation was outstanding, killing 300 people including Wu Ju. The thief was guilty and was soon defeated by Wusong. In addition to the former crime, Tang Kekuan was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of Su Song, attacked by thieves, and then fought in Liu Jinba. All victory, beheading three thousand levels. When bandits invaded Jinshan, Yu led less than 300 soldiers, but soldiers from all walks of life did not arrive, and the battle was defeated. The enemy occupied 20,000 villages in Songjiang Zhelin, Fujian and Zhejiang always urged the war, and the rest were at loggerheads. Waiting for Yongshun and Baojing troops to arrive is the biggest victory since War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Zhang Jing broke the thief in Wang Jiang path. Working for Yan Song's adopted son, Zhao Wenhua, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, are busy for themselves. Zhang was accused of "not letting the coach get on the plane" and was killed after being imprisoned. Yu was also demoted, "adding Jinshan to the crime of breaking the law and serving as an official."
In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing (1555), the new Japanese army invaded Lujingba, Suzhou, and reached Loumen, defeating Zhou Yude, commander-in-chief of Nanjing. In the case of being dismissed from his old post, Yu put national affairs first, bought his own mourning clothes, indulged in courage, and jointly cooperated with Ren Huan, defeated the thieves in Lujingba, burned more than 30 thief boats, intercepted people who went out to sea from Sanzhangpu, and sank seven ships. After that, he broke the thief in Yingjing Lake, Wujiang. The thief went to Sanbansha, Jiaxing, and fled from the civilian ship. I pursued the victory and captured the enemy leaders Jin Jing and Xupu alive. The thieves in White Cat Harbor all escaped from the sea. Yu also chased Chashan, burned five boats, and killed countless creatures. Yu and Dong Bangzheng pursued separately and captured nine more boats. In January, the enemy on the land in eastern Zhejiang was beaten to flee east and west. The enemy heard that Yu's name was Abala.
More than 300 thieves climbed the cliff and left Taozhai Town, Huating, and repeatedly defeated Zhao Wenhua and other troops. The thieves assembled more than 40 ships in Zhelin, and the situation was critical. Cao Bangfu, the patrol assistant, disintegrated Yu Zongbao, and the emperor was furious, taking away the shadow of the world and ordering him to make meritorious deeds to atone. It's nothing. Yu and his deputy, Wang Chonggu, chased thieves into the sea, burned eight ships and captured countless prisoners.
In the early days, the Japanese were in a hurry. Liu Yuan, the special commander of the imperial court, was appointed as the company commander of Zhejiang, and he also served as Jiangsu and Songzhu counties, and did nothing for several months. Courtiers competed for military talents in Yuyuan Park, and Yu went to court in Liu Yuan in March of the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing (1556), replacing Zhejiang company commanders with Yu. Yu won a great victory in the battles of Guan, Xinzhuang, Qingshuiwa and Huangpu, and returned to the world with letters, which aggravated the duties of the governor. Following the defeat of Zhoushan thieves.
The battle of Pingwa in eastern Zhejiang is the most brilliant page in Yu's fighting career. He "strategized, not greedy for near success", fully grasped the law of the enemy's activities, grasped his fatal disadvantage, gave full play to his own advantages, and used flexible strategies and tactics to "attack him unprepared" and "encircle him and annihilate him", which showed his outstanding command ability and outstanding strategic wisdom.
In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing (1557), he was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang Province.
Yu's boss, the governor and governor Hu Zongxian, wanted to figure out the leader of the enemy and made a boring speech with Lu, so he fought with Tong and Yu. Hu Zongxian came to Hangzhou with his mother, wife and children in an attempt to persuade Wang to surrender. Wang agreed in principle, but asked Hu to send one person to the island as a hostage. Wang came to see Hu and was arrested and imprisoned by the patrolling king. Mao Haifeng, the adopted son of the king on the island, heard the news, so he "liberated" the hostages sent by Hu and led 500 party member to occupy cengang. Yu was originally opposed to this battle plan, but at this juncture, he had to go with Qi Jiguang and others and was ordered to attack. Until the second year in July, still unable to attack, many casualties, the new Japanese army returned to shenjiamen.
In the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing (1559), thieves flooded Fujian, occupied Wuyu, Quanzhou, Fujian, and Li Hu repeatedly impeached Hu Zongxian as a thief. Hu suspected that he had provided military information for his compatriots, so he wrote a letter accusing him that cengang's defeat was entirely due to poor combat. The emperor was angry, ordered Yu to be arrested and imprisoned, and then seized the shadow world. Liu Bing, a Royal Guards, knew about the grievances, sent someone to treat the disease, and was guaranteed by Xu Jie, a university student, before he was released to Datong for meritorious service.
In the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing (1560), he went to Datong. Huang Guangsheng, a Pan-Laker from Jinjiang, Quanzhou, who was then Governor of Sichuan, Hunan and Yunnan, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, and Minister of Nanjing, attached great importance to his talents and was recommended to be the chief planner. In judging the terrain, a unicycle was created to prevent the enemy from riding. Try to ride a hundred cars and take three thousand steps, and defeat the enemy in Anyin Castle. Jin Wen made his system in North Korea, so he set up a chariot camp. Beijing battalion has a chariot since then. Will attack the class to win, plot with Yu, and win a total victory. Return to the world.
After the defeat in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Japanese invaders fled to Fujian and Guangdong in the south, and the focus of the Japanese invaders shifted to Fujian. "From Funing in the north to Zhang Quan in the south, thousands of miles along the coast, it is a thief cave."
Forty years after Jiajing (156 1), he was ordered to go south. Yu Nangui was employed as a soldier in Chenzhou Town (now Yuanling County), Hunan Province, for his meritorious service of pacification, and successively pacified the rebellion in three counties and six counties, including Yunxi. In July of the same year, Zhao moved to Gannan, joined forces with Fujian and Guangbing, suppressed riots in Raoping, Guangdong, captured Xiao Xuefeng alive, beheaded 1200 people, and dispersed more than 20,000 people. The deputy commander-in-chief, Bing Zhuo, is in charge of Gannan, Ting, Zhang, Hui and Chao counties.
In October of the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), the enemy found that Qi Jiguang had returned to Zhejiang after his victory in Pingwu, Fujian Province, and assembled more than 10000 people to sweep the soil of Yuling cemetery, rectify the enemies who committed crimes in the north of Nan 'ao, Guangdong Province, and even smash Shaowu, Luoyuan, Zhenghe, Shouning, Ningde, Lianjiang, Songxi and Datian. At that time, the company commander Liu Xian led only 700 weak soldiers. Liu Xian knew that the enemy was arrogant, not an opponent, so he was stationed on the other side of the river 30 miles from the city. On the 29th of that year 1 1 month, Xinghua Fucheng was captured and 3000 residents were plundered. The people were slaughtered and humiliated by the Japanese. After the Japanese army captured Xinghua, it robbed ships and captured Pinghaiwei (90 miles east of Putian established by the Japanese army during the Hongwu period), which was rare before the Japanese pirates were rampant.
Fujian governor shocked the court. The fall of Xinghua shocked the imperial court, because it was the first government city captured since the Japanese invasion. Emperor Jiajing got rid of Fujian company commanders You Zhen, appointed Tan Lun as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, transferred from Gannan to Fujian company commanders officer, and transferred from eastern Zhejiang to Qi Jiguang as Fujian deputy company commanders officer, and quickly returned to Fujian to cooperate with Fujian governor. Under the command and control of Tan Lun, all three jointly suppressed the Japanese army.
On February 1st, the 42nd year of Jiajing (1563), Yu quickly moved from Gannan to Pinghaiwei, Xinghua, stationed in Xiushan, where he was at peace with the famous mountains. Liu Xian was stationed in Mingshan, three or four miles away from the Japanese camp; The Yiwu army recruited by Qi Jiguang is still in eastern Zhejiang. When the strength of the enemy and ourselves is equal, the enemy is rampant and challenged repeatedly. The generals were outraged and demanded to participate in the war. However, he insisted on sticking to his position and advocated the tactics of spreading military camps, digging trenches, opening the sea from east to west, and encircling without attacking. The generals think that they are also afraid of the enemy, but think that the time is not ripe to destroy the enemy. He presented the Proposal for Destroying the Enemy in Xinghua to Tan Lun, the Governor of Fujian Province: "Today, there are two or three thousand thieves and seven thousand thieves, and everyone wants to fight and die. The number of officers and men is only about the same, and joint battles will be fought in the battle. Forced siege, you will be empty, you will be hungry, and you will be free. If defeated by it, the southeast trend will go! " Yu believes that the Japanese attack on Xinghua is "an extraordinary move, an unusual plan, and it must be done."
First of all, the enemy has pulled out several counties, and its arrogance is very rampant. At this time, it is not appropriate to fight; Our army set out from Jiangxi, working day and night, and the sergeant was tired and had to rest for a few days; According to the actual situation of both sides, Yu adopted the correct operational strategy of "the enemy defends by fighting, and we defend by attacking", and besieged the enemy by "drawing trenches, connecting the east and west of the sea, and encircling it". Secondly, according to the fact that the enemy is a mixture of Japanese samurai, ronin and pirates, it is suggested that our army recruit local military forces familiar with the terrain to facilitate the attack. Mobilize the people in central and southern Fujian who have been ravaged by the Japanese army for a long time, have a bloody feud and have the courage to serve the battlefield as militia. Third, respect and cooperate with Liu and Qi's anti-Japanese generals and local officials. Now the enemy's repeated challenges are quick decisions, and the enemy can escape regardless of defeat, because we have no power to panic in it; Qi Jiguang's army is coming. When we are strong or weak, it is expected that the enemy will be wiped out. "Whether it is the south or the north, if we have to help each other, there will be a lot of preparation." Governor Tan Lun thinks Yu's analysis is very reasonable. But at that time, all parties in the imperial court were eager to fight, and there were Japanese challenges at sea. Hold your ground, bear the burden of humiliation and deploy calmly.
In April of the 42nd year of Jiajing (1563), Qi Jiguang troops arrived at Pinghaiwei. On April 2 1 day, four drums were played in the middle of the night. According to the battle plan, we launched an all-out attack in three ways: Qi Jiguang was the main attack of China's army, while the right army was the main attack. They crept into the enemy camp and launched an attack on Pinghaiwei's enemies. The development of the war situation is completely in accordance with our strategic intention. After five hours of fighting, the enemy couldn't resist the avalanche of attacks, ran around and fell into the preset trench. In this battle, more than 2200 people were wiped out by the whole army, and Xinghua won a great victory. Pinghaiwei and Xinghua Fucheng were recovered, and 3,000 prisoners were rescued.
Placing Japanese troops in Xinghua is the greatest victory of Fujian's anti-Japanese struggle. Before the war, Yu made careful arrangements and a lot of preparations, and his contribution was no less than that of Qi Jiguang. When rewarding merit, the incompetent Jiajing Emperor listened to slanders and gave unfair rewards. Tan Lun was promoted to the right deputy viceroy, and Qi Jiguang was promoted to the knowledge of viceroy, adding a son Yin, but Jade's "four hundred and twenty coins and silver" was all. Some people feel aggrieved for him, but I take it lightly.
After Xinghua triumphed, Yu traveled to Qingyuan Mountain with friends and carved "Yu Xinghua Pingwa Cliff" beside the stone of Qingyuan Ancient Road in Shuiliukeng.
"During the reign of Ming Jiajing, Guihai was old, and an imperial guard was stationed in Fujian, Gannan and Huichaohe. The local governor of Nanshao went to Xinghua City to suppress the enemy. When I finished my class, I went to the cave with my friends. "
Yu never mentioned the unfair treatment of his great achievements, nor did he mention the decisive factors of the battle of Xinghua Pingwa. He only mentioned "moving troops after completing the task", which shows that he does not care about gains and losses, but focuses on flat tiles.
Tang Shunzhi's words should be virtuous, and there is another word that should be upright. The name is Jingchuan. Han nationality, Wujin (now Changzhou, Jiangsu) people.
Zhao Wenhua, an important official of the imperial court, knew that it was impossible to sacrifice to Poseidon alone! At that time, the Ming dynasty was attacked by the north and the south, and military talents were scarce. He pondered it and recommended it in many ways. Finally, he thought of Tang Shunzhi, who was studying with him. Now he lives at home and studies. He knows that this man is very talented, not only knowledgeable, but also ambitious to rule the country and level the world. He is also familiar with the army and once served in the Ministry of War. According to records, at that time, there were more than 50 memorials recommending Tang Shunzhi to go out of the mountain.
At that time, the pirates who endangered the major cities in the southeast coast were not thieves in groups of three or five, but armed forces with forces equivalent to three or five divisions of the modern army. So Suzhou, Songjiang, Ningbo and Taizhou were all ravaged by them, and the horror was as cruel as the Japanese invaders in modern times! Unfortunately, this situation lasted for five or six years. At that time, the Ming army just didn't have the strength to teach the Japanese! Faced with this reality, Tang Shunzhi was so angry that he couldn't eat. What is particularly outrageous is that he witnessed the enemy stabbing our baby with bayonets as a pastime in Suzhou. When Tang Shunzhi learned of this, he was saddened and determined to do or die with the enemy! So he decided to put down his books and plead for the people!
After Tang Shunzhi returned to the Ministry of War, he first went to the training base town near the capital, worked out a plan to rectify this army, which was unable to resist foreign aggression, and then consulted with Governor Hu Zongxian to ask for a thief to guard against the enemy. He advocated intercepting enemy warships at sea and preventing the enemy from landing, because the enemy landed on land, and our lives and property in rural Lushe were bound to suffer huge losses. But at that time, the teams assigned to schools were all afraid of naval battles and even water! Therefore, they often use various objective reasons as an excuse to hide in the harbor of inland rivers and dare not go to war, which provides pirates from the sea with the opportunity to land and come, and then they can rob and leave at will. Seeing the people suffering from this, I often frown and sigh, saying that an accident to the people is equivalent to gouging out my flesh with a knife. How can I comfort the dead people? So he decided to go into the sea and experience life at sea himself. He sailed from Jiangying Yutong, Jiangsu Province to Jiaomenyang, and walked six or seven hundred miles a day and night, and the people who followed him were stormy. Still vomiting, but Shunzhi himself is high-spirited and calm. He caught the generals hiding in the harbor on the sea in the winter night when the sea breeze roared and the waves were stormy. Under severe punishment, these generals who were paid but were afraid of death and eager for ease worked hard. I often thought that Tang Shunzhi's ship was coming, because I saw the sails, so I quickly rectified the military situation and didn't dare to slack off!
Because the Japanese knew that the Ming army could not compete with it and could plunder in major cities along the southeast coast for five or six years at will, they simply set up a base camp in Chongming near Shanghai.
On one occasion, Tang Shunzhi led a fleet to three pieces of sand moored by the Japanese in the lonely ocean, fought a sea battle, won a great victory, wiped out the Japanese 120 people, sank the Japanese warship 13, and seized countless trophies. This is a rare victory for Japanese pirates at sea!
Later, the enemy invaded Jiangbei, and Tang Shunzhi led Liu Xianchi, the deputy commander, to defeat the enemy. Sansha was in a hurry again, and Tang Shunzhi hurried back to support him. He leaps forward with a knife, so that the enemy can see the uniform and dare not fight again!
Tang Shunzhi lived at sea for several months in one summer because he had been fighting the Japanese invaders for many years. It's a pity that he was ill, but he still supported his sick body across the sea, swam to Jiao Shan and died on a ship in Tongzhou at the age of 54.
Zhang Jing (1492 ~ 1555) was a native of Tang Hong, Houguan County (now Fuzhou City). In the thirty-third year of Jiajing (1554), the enemy attacked the city and plundered the land, occupying the southeast coast of China, killing and plundering. The court took Zhang Jing as the governor of Zhejiang, which was cheap. When Zhang Jing was in power for the first time, he was repeatedly frustrated in the battle with the enemy because his generals were arrogant and did not deploy well. Sejong made his debut with Zhang Jing in vain, and was demoted to the right suggestion and assistant minister of the right Ministry of War. At that time, more than 20,000 Japanese pirates occupied Chuanshawa in Zhelin (now Chuansha County, Shanghai), with more and more followers. Zhang Jing chose to train soldiers every day, ready to wait for the arrival of grain-carrying soldiers and annihilate Japanese pirates in one fell swoop. The following spring, the enemy invaded Zhapu and Haining, breached Chongde and turned to western Zhejiang. When people saw Zhang Jing sitting still, they accused him of conniving at the enemy. Sejong was furious and ordered Zhang Jing to join the army within a time limit. At this time, Zhao Wenhua, assistant minister of the Ministry of War of Yan Song, went to Zhejiang to urge the war. Chang Qing replied: "The thief is cunning, there are many people, and it is safe to guard the soldiers forever." Zhao asked for twenty-two thousand pieces of silver, but ignored it. Zhao Sui colluded with Hu Zongxian, Zhejiang provincial judge, to dismantle Zhang Jing's "fear that thieves will miss the boat". Uncle Wenhua just went up, and Yong and Bao Bing arrived. He led the army to attack the Japanese army and won a great victory in Shitangwan, Wang and other places, capturing 5000 Japanese troops. Sejong received Zhao Wenhua and others, and ordered the arrest of Zhang Jing in Beijing. Zhang Jing told the story of the battle, but Sejong ignored it and beheaded Zhang Jing.
Li's eldest son, Li, was a company commander in Liaodong and a famous soldier in the Ming Dynasty. He commanded the world-famous Non-Chen War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in the twenty years of Wanli, and became the company commander of Liaodong, famous for his anti-Japanese achievements. Later, he was killed in the battle with Mongolian tribes. After his death, the court posthumously awarded Shao Baoning as Yuan Bo, and set up a shrine to show loyalty.
His master is Xu Wei, the first strategist in southeast China. When he was young, he devoted himself to teaching Sun Tzu the art of war to destroy the Japanese, and he was superb in World War I in Korea.
Deeply trusted by Wanli at that time, it was entrusted with a heavy responsibility and was the pillar of the country.
