After Qi Jiguang went to Zhejiang for his post, he found that the officers and men in Weifang had average combat capability, while the officers and men in Jinhua and Yiwu were tough, so Qi Jiguang recruited 3,000 people and trained them into an elite army under the guidance of Qi Jiguang, which was later called "Qijiajun". Qi Jiguang made laws according to the geographical characteristics of the southern swamp, and equipped its troops with firearms, weapons, warships and other equipment, so the Qijiajun became famous all over the world.

The enemy was so powerful that local loyalists dared not attack. Hu Zongxian ordered Qi Jiguang to lead the troops to suppress thieves. Qi Jiguang led the troops to attack Yuheng first, and the waterway around Yuheng was narrow and difficult to pass. Qi Jiguang ordered the soldiers to fill the trenches with a pile of straw, because Heng defeated the enemy and beheaded more than 2,200 people.

Qijiajun history:
In the early Ming Dynasty, pirates from China and some frustrated Japanese local tyrants and ronin armed forces smuggled and robbed businessmen in the coastal areas of China. At that time, it was called "the enemy",/kloc-0 was the most rampant in the middle of the 6th century, and Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian were the most harmful, with hundreds of thousands of victims. The Japanese plague raged, the whole country shook, and the coastal people rose up and rebelled.
However, in Ming Dynasty, the quality of loyal ministers was poor, the fighting capacity was insufficient, the disturbance was more than enough, and the resistance to Japanese pirates was weak, which led to the increasingly serious coastal pirates. During Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, General Qi Jiguang was ordered to fight against Japan. In order to improve the quality of the troops, he came to Yiwu several times to recruit several groups of farmers to form a new army. After strict training, this army became an elite force with strong combat effectiveness and went to the anti-Japanese front.
Because this detachment is brave in fighting, fearless of the enemy, and has repeatedly made meritorious deeds, it has played a decisive role in the anti-Japanese struggle and established great achievements. It is known as the "Qijiajun", also known as the "Yiwu soldier".
14-15th century, there was a war in Japan, and some frustrated warriors and greedy businessmen were supported by some Japanese forces to engage in smuggling and looting along the coast of China. They colluded with local tyrants, profiteers, hooligans, pirates and mountain thieves along the coast of China, and took advantage of the emptiness of the southeast coast to land and wreak havoc.
During the reign of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sent envoys to pay tribute and was named "King of Japan". He was friendly with China, arrested pirates on his behalf and repatriated China people captured by the Japanese. After Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, the coastal maritime merchant Song fled for fear of sin and rallied the former Japanese pirates. At this time, Ashikatsu passed away, Ashikatsu ascended the throne, and the royal family was weak and unable to stop it.
Pirates colluded with Song Dynasty and plundered the coastal counties in eastern Zhejiang in the name of tribute. Soon, Wang Xifeng, Xu Bixi, Mao Haifeng, Peng Laosheng and others occupied the island and contacted the Japanese pirates to plunder the coast. In the thirty-first year of Jiajing (1552), Wang Zhi, an Anhui native, fled to the sea and joined forces with Xu Hai and Chen Dong to invade Taizhou.
Since then, the Japanese invasion in the southeast coast has become more and more serious, especially in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces. Due to the ineffective suppression of officers and men, the Japanese pirates could not be prevented, such as entering no one's land, and even the situation that "tens of thousands of soldiers openly carry guns and thieves often walk away with spears" caused panic among the people and anxiety of the court.
Due to the rampant Japanese pirates in Zhejiang, in July of the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing (1555), the imperial court transferred Qi Jiguang to be the governor of Zhejiang, in charge of the chariot administration. Because of the great achievements made by his ancestors, his father Qi Bin was made General Wei Ming and was appointed as the hereditary commander of the National Guard.
After Qi Jiguang's father died, he inherited the command of Deng Zhouwei and then guarded Jizhou. On the recommendation of Governor Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang was promoted to be the commander of Zhejiang Branch, guarding Ning (Bo), Shao (Xing) and Taiwan (Zhou).
In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), although Qi Jiguang won the battle to save Taizhou, he deeply felt that the fighting capacity of the Ming army was not strong. In hand-to-hand combat, he was timid and even chickened out. So Qi Jiguang wanted to form an army of his own. At this time, Feng, a native of Yiwu, met Hu Zongxian and was willing to contribute to the court's war of resistance. Hu Zongxian introduced him to Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang was going to recruit, but Feng died. In order to protect the local silver mine, a group of young farmers beat the people who came from Chuzhou (now Lishui, Zhejiang Province) to rob the mine. ?
Feng himself also participated in the lightning protection battle, so it was very vivid. Hearing this, Qi Jiguang knew that the farmers in Yiwu were brave and not afraid of death. He believes that if such farmers are recruited and undergo formal and strict training, they will have strong combat effectiveness. At that time, Lou Nan, Ding Bangyan and Lou, Yiwu people who fought side by side with Qi Jiguang in Taizhou, also knew about this matter and agreed to go to Yiwu to recruit soldiers.
Qi Jiguang then put forward the idea of "keeping troops simple, keeping weapons simple, keeping military affairs clear, and staying in Tangzhai". Hu Zongxian agreed to let him find his veterans and go to Yiwu to recruit soldiers. At this moment, Zhao Dahe, the magistrate of Yiwu, also wrote to Hu Zongxian.
Zhao Dahe is very patriotic. He has long heard that the quality of loyal ministers is poor. There is a folk saying that "it is better to meet a Japanese thief than a loyal minister;" It is suggested that the government recruit Ding Dang, a citizen of Yiwu, to improve the quality of officers and men. So, Hu Zongxian ordered Zhao Dahe to assist Wei Jiguang in this matter.

General comments
The reason why Qi Jiajun was invincible was because Qi Jiguang's thought of running the army was extremely advanced. With the most advanced weapons and equipment in East Asia, Qi Jiajun's equipment is definitely the first in East Asia and the forefront in the world. There are breeched Shenwei general guns, Franco machine guns, large-caliber cannon, as well as shotgun, Japanese knives and armored weapons.
You know, thirty years later, the Samoyed Corps, the most powerful leader in Japan, had 20,000 muskets, but only two light machine guns. It was not until the edo period that large-scale artillery began to appear in Japan. As a local army, Qijiajun's firearms are even as advanced as Kyoto Jishen Camp.
Qi Jiajun's strict discipline is also famous all over the world. Anyone who disturbs the people during the expedition will be beheaded, fight bravely and be kind to the people. Therefore, no matter where Qi Jiajun fights, he can win the support of the local people, and Miao Yao and other ethnic minorities will die for it.
Historical evaluation
Qi Jiguang: In a city with ten rooms, there must be loyalty. Is there no courage to make Zhejiang prosperous? I have won 3000 Zhejiang scholars, and I have trained them myself. Compared with three years, I am worthy of defending the enemy!

White water can be outnumbered, and Li Shu is free from poison; The flower street won, and the city corner was blocked. With the people's reference, that is, good news. The people of Taiwan Province rely on the Great Wall, and eastern Zhejiang is the real guarantee.
Wang Zongsheng: Since the beginning of the war, the overall victory has been hard to come by, but within one month, our (just) soldiers lost only seven people every ten amphibious battles. In the battles of Ruhua Street, Baishui and Changyang, we were outnumbered, and we all succeeded. More than 2000 people were captured, once.
