Who is Hu's ancestor?

Hugh's ancestor Hu Zongxian biography.

When it comes to famous anti-Japanese soldiers, people may think of Qi Jiguang first, followed by Hu Zongxian, perhaps not at all. In fact, Hu Zongxian's contribution to the Anti-Japanese War is not inferior to Qi's, but more accurately, it should be above them, but people pay too much attention to moral evaluation, so that Hu's contribution is buried intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, in the most critical years of the Anti-Japanese War, Qi and Yu were just the ministries of Hu Zongxian, and Hu was not an unreachable leader, but actually shouldered the responsibility of dispatching and commanding. In addition, most of the anti-Japanese policies and plans were formulated by Hu himself, and Chyi Yu was often unpredictable, just listening to his words and rushing to his line. Hu Zongxian has always appreciated and reused Qi Jiguang. Later, the famous "Qi Jiajun" could not be separated from Hu Dali's support. It can be said that without Hu's support, "Qi Jiajun" might not have been born at all. Hu Zongxian suppressed Yu and even framed him for imprisonment, mainly because of their differences in anti-Japanese policies, which led to their misunderstanding.

Hu Zongxian's later fame was mainly related to his party's attachment to Yan Song, and his final downfall was also due to the fall of Yan Song. Indeed, Hu Zongxian can sit on the southeast military post of the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, which is related to Yan Dang Zhao Wenhua. If he didn't cater to Zhao Wenhua, Zhao Can wouldn't promote him, but Zhao Can couldn't see his military talent, and timely recommended generations of sages, which is also a shining point of this shameless villain. To be fair, it is impossible for Hu to carry out the anti-Japanese cause without having a good relationship with the dignitaries in the DPRK. The death of Zhu Wan, Hu's predecessor, was related to Yan Song. If the relationship between Hu and Yan is not good, it goes without saying that he can't sit in the position of military chief. Even if he does, he may just follow in the footsteps of his predecessor. Treacherous court officials are in power, and people who want to do business are often in a dilemma. If you don't give in, you will fail, and if you give in, you may be ruined. This is the end of Hu's life, and he will become a hero.

The origin of the enemy

We generally think that "Japan" refers to Japan itself, but this understanding does not apply to the Japanese pirates in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. According to the Japanese Biography of Ming History, the highest estimate of real Japanese is only three tenths, and the general estimate is two tenths or three. The remaining 78% are China people, especially the generalists in Fujian and Zhejiang, all posing as Japanese. Why do Japanese people dress up as Japanese? There are several reasons for this. First, many of these China people have relatives in China and are worried about being dragged down by the news. Second, Zhenwu weapons are sharp and brave, afraid of the Ming army and willing to be blacksmiths. If there are only Japanese in the enemy, it is actually a disadvantage, because after all, the Japanese were born in China, and they don't know the actual situation of the Ming army. Plunder is not so easy; However, once a large number of China people are involved, the situation will be very different for them and even for their leaders. This is why the enemy can plague China for hundreds of years and is still so difficult to deal with.

Why are there a large number of China in the enemy team? This is related to the maritime ban policy of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the pirates have existed since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, but most of them are just small pirates, not a big disaster. However, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, imposed a sea ban because of choking on food, and a large number of residents on the island moved back to the mainland, and coastal residents were prohibited from doing business with foreigners, which led to a large number of coastal residents' livelihood difficulties. In addition, the products of Sino-Japanese trade at that time were actually complementary, and the forced prohibition by the Ming government brought inconvenience to both sides, and also made some businessmen lose their interests. So a lot of desperate people took risks and started smuggling trade between China and Japan. Because of the illegality of work, smugglers had to form groups, arm themselves, and resist the inspection of the Ming government by force when necessary; At the same time, in order to gain a dominant position in smuggling groups, different armed groups often struggle and merge. As these armed smuggling groups are well aware of the actual situation in China, they also rob property and people when conditions are convenient. With the abandonment of China's military tactics, they found that the benefits of robbery were more abundant than smuggling, and this kind of behavior became more and more common and larger, which brought profound disasters to coastal residents. "Biography of Japan in Ming Dynasty" records: "In March of the thirty-second year of Ming Dynasty (Jiajing), Wang Zhi intercepted and sank the Japanese invaders on a large scale, with hundreds of ships coming. Zhejiang's east, west, south, north and coastal areas are thousands of miles away, and the police are called at the same time. Break Chang Guowei. In April, Taicang was invaded, Shanghai County was broken, Jiangyin was plundered, and Zhapu was attacked. In August, he robbed jinshanwei and committed crimes in Chongming, Changshu and Jiading. In the first month of thirty-three years, he plundered Suzhou from Taicang, attacked Songjiang, and returned to Jiangbei, Botong and Thailand. In April, Jiashan fell, Chongming broke, Suzhou was sparse, and it entered Chongde County. In June, Wujiang looted Jiaxing and returned Zhelin. Go back and forth, if you enter no one's business. "

So it's time to strike at the enemy. At this time, several large enemy groups have formed along the coast of China. The first is the Wang Zhi Group mentioned above. Wang Zhi, a native of Shexian County, Huizhou, was born in Hu Zongxian. According to Gu's Records of National Diseases, when he was young, he worked as a salt merchant with Xu, which probably violated the ban of the Ming Dynasty in business. He once said to Xu and other companions, "China has a strict legal system, which is easy to be banned, and which one is exempted overseas.". Later, it was discovered that going to sea was a thief. In the early days of Wang Zhi's entry into the sea, due to lack of strength, he temporarily defected to the Xu Shi Brothers Smuggling Group. Because of his outstanding performance, he soon became one of the main leaders of the group. When the group was defeated by Zhu Wan, many people were fooled by Wang Zhi's cleverness. He reorganized into a maritime business group headed by Wang Zhi and was promoted to the boss by many businessmen. After defeating another smuggling group and annexing all its parts, Wang Zhi became the biggest overlord of the smuggling group and was called "the king of the sea". Followed by Xu Hai smuggling group, Xu Hai is also from Shexian County, Huizhou. He was originally the leader of Wang Zhi's subordinates. Later, he pulled his own team and was unique, calling himself "General Hai". He and Wang Zhi roamed the Zhejiang Sea together. Other large smuggling syndicates include Chen Dong and Ma Ye. These Japanese groups were wiped out by Hu Zongxian.
