What is Japanese pirates? Japanese is an ancient Chinese term for Japan. Pirates refer to pirates. The Japanese pirates are the Japanese pirates who haunt the coastal areas. They were once strong enough to compete with the army.
Qi Jiguang was born in Dingyuan, Anhui Province. Qi Xiang, the sixth ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was a meritorious founder of the Ming Dynasty. His son Qi Bin was named general Mingwei and inherited the command of Dengzhou garrison. From this time on, the Qi family lived in the Qi mansion of Penglai, and Qi Jiguang spent a lot of time here.

He won many battles in Zhejiang and Fujian, which made the Japanese pirates frightened and made the southeast coast basically free of Japanese aggression. In 1568, Qi Jiguang was transferred to Jizhou to rebuild and reinforce the Great Wall. In 1583, Qi Jiguang was transferred to Guangdong Province. After that, he returned to Dengzhou, his hometown, and then died of illness. Qi Jiguang spent 60 years in the world.
