Qi Jiajun

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the famous anti-Japanese general Zhang Jing was killed by treacherous officials. The Japanese pirates, led by the Han Wang Zhi and the Japanese Koizumi, took the opportunity to invade the southeastern coast, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were defeated repeatedly. Qi Jiguang was ordered to recruit strong men in Yiwu, Zhejiang, and establish the Qi Family Army to fight against Japanese pirates. General Feng Ziming was a native of Yiwu and traveled with Qi Jiguang. He was also Qi Jiguang's guide in recruiting troops for this trip. For safety, the two disguised themselves as ordinary businessmen and came to Yiwu. The two passed by a village that had just been looted by Japanese pirates. All the villagers were massacred, and the only survivor was a man nailed to a tree at the entrance of the village. This is a common trick used by Japanese pirates to make people unable to survive or die. The man told Qi Jiguang that Wang Zhi personally led the Japanese pirates to massacre the village. The man did not want to wait for death, so he begged Qi Jiguang to kill him and give him a happy life. Although Qi Jiguang couldn't bear it, he finally killed the man. Qi Jiguang and Feng Ziming conducted cremations for the murdered villagers. Seeing the blazing flames engulfing the corpse and the smoke filling the air, Qi Jiguang could no longer control the anger in his heart. Regardless of Feng Ziming's dissuasion, he chased Wang Zhi alone. After chasing him to a place, Qi Jiguang reined in his horse and checked the horse's hoof prints on the road. He judged that Wang Zhi was there...
