the vicissitudes of official life
Ming Jiajing 23 years (1544), Ren Huan in the Jinshi. He once served as an official in Hebei, Shandong and other places, and was famous for his honesty and ability. In 1551, Ren Huan was distributed to Ren Tongzhi in Suzhou. He knew that the Japanese invasion was becoming more and more serious in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the people were in dire need of livelihood. He was determined to exert his talents and protect the territory and the people. Fortunately for the ambitious Ren Huan, the governor of Suzhou is still sensible, broad-minded and trusting. This was not easy in the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty when officials were corrupt. Here is a brief introduction to Shang Weili, a native of Xiangyin, Hunan Province, who was a Jinshi in the same year as Ren Huan. He was the editor of the Imperial Academy for several years, and then he was appointed the censor. He was upright, courageous and fearless of power. In the 27th year of Jiajing (1548), it was still distributed to Suzhou as a magistrate. At that time, along the southeast coast, the Japanese invasion continued unabated. Under the guidance of the traitors, a large group of Japanese pirates often sailed up the Yangtze River from the mouth of the Yangtze River. They divided their forces to attack the rich and prosperous southern Jiangsu. They burned, killed, raped, raped women and children, and caused serious damage. After taking office, Shang maintained his determination to rectify the officials, visit the people's sufferings, and pay attention to the construction of city defense fortress. However, although Shang weichi was a virtuous official and had studied military books, he didn't know much about military affairs and was not good at commanding the army, marching and setting up the array, and attacking and defending strategies. Suzhou's military preparation department and its subordinate County commanders didn't pay much for him. They are indulged in happiness, intoxicated with the mellow and beautiful women, and are in a state of depression. The Japanese invaders, even though they were only small and medium-sized people, were helpless. They avoided the war passively and allowed the people to be devastated. After the Japanese pirates left the country, the officers falsely reported their achievements in order to get bonus After receiving the report from the villagers, Shang Weili was very indignant and dismissed several officers. Unexpectedly, he almost provoked a mutiny. Only then did he realize that it was not easy to be a magistrate in Suzhou. The arrival of Ren Huan makes shangmian very happy, because he knows that Ren Huan understands military affairs and is decent. He has a good assistant. When Ren Huan arrived, he was saddened to see that the military discipline of the garrison in Suzhou was broken, and he was afraid of the enemy. After obtaining the approval of Shangwei, he ordered the elimination of old and weak soldiers and the replacement of incompetent commanders. He also asked Shangwei Shangshu court to transfer 1500 soldiers from the south of Guangxi to form a mobile army mainly composed of cavalry. In the Ming Dynasty, Guangxi Zhuang, Miao, Yao and other ethnic soldiers were hardworking and brave, and they were called Wolf soldiers in the history of the Ming Dynasty. This is a discriminatory term) and actively prepare for war. Ren Huan also asked Shang to allocate 20000 taels of Treasury silver to recruit villagers in Suzhou. A total of 6000 people were recruited and given swords, spears, fireguns, bows and crossbows for training. When the Japanese invaders came, they went to the battlefield to cooperate with the army.
Because they were familiar with the road and terrain, they were determined to protect their hometown from the Japanese invaders. Therefore, the morale is high, the courage to fight, and the combat effectiveness is even better than that of the officers and soldiers. What is particularly rare is that Ren Huan from the North realized the importance of water war when he made a field investigation in Suzhou, where there are many rivers and lakes. He stipulated that all officers and soldiers should learn how to swim, have a regular assessment of their water ability, take the lead in swimming and hold water war exercises to improve their combat ability. With Shang's support, Ren Huan also issued a notice to mobilize the common people, gentry and businessmen to donate money to build a shipyard and build 40 warships in Dongting Dongshan, Taihu Lake. The bow and stern of the ship were covered with bronze to prevent the Japanese from attacking in the future. In order to increase the speed of this kind of double sail warship, a wooden flywheel was added at the stern. While driving, several strong sailors step on the flywheel in shifts. They also played an important role in the Anti Japanese war. It is especially effective against small groups of Japanese pirates in small boats. On weekdays, it can also be used to patrol the rivers and lakes and transport soldiers and civilians. However, due to the limited tonnage, Shenwei cannons could not be placed on the ship. Firepower mainly depends on the use of gun and firearm. In a frontal battle, they are often outnumbered by Japanese warships and armored warships. This is a shock to Ren Huan.
After the thirty first year of Jiajing reign of Ming Dynasty (1552), the Japanese invasion became more and more serious in the southeast coastal areas of China. A large number of Japanese pirates gathered in chenqianshan (referring to the reef islands of shangwaisha island and Baisha island in the East China Sea outside the Yangtze River estuary). Taking these islands as nests, they built warships, speedboats, cast artillery shells, stored rice, vegetables, meat and fresh water, and began their pirate like invasion year after year. In March of the 32nd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1553), the pirate Wang Zhi (from Shexian County in southern Anhui) colluded with the main Japanese invaders here. The East and west of Zhejiang, the south of the Yangtze River, the north of the Yangtze River, and the coastal areas were alerted at the same time. Although Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Hu Zongxian and other generals led the officers and soldiers to intercept and fight in bloody battles, the Japanese pirates were very cunning and their tracks were erratic. They were also attacked by several mountain attacks and could not be prevented. Thousands of Japanese pirates evaded the interception of Qi's army, broke through changguowei and Chuansha fortress, invaded Taicang, Shanghai, Jiangyin, Zhapu, Jinshanwei, Chongming Island, and invaded seven counties and towns such as Jiading and Changshu. Looting, burning and killing along the way. For example, when the Ming army and the local people fought tenaciously, the Japanese pirates did not love to fight for the sake of preserving their strength, and they fought and acted indiscriminately all the way. Urban and rural people suffered heavy losses and countless deaths and injuries. At the beginning of May, the Japanese pirates met the desperate resistance of the government and the villagers near Waigang outside Jiading city. The Japanese pirates, with more than 100 people in death squads, charged with long Japanese Swords and powder cans. They don't pay attention to the array, whistling up, slashing and killing. And set fire to create terror. The government, the army and the villagers retreated one after another, and Jiading city was about to fall. At the critical moment, Ren Huan led more than a thousand wolf soldiers to arrive and immediately put into battle. They used machetes, crossbows and fireguns to kill the Japanese pirates. Hand to hand or close combat. When the Japanese pirates met a strong enemy, the Japanese chieftain ordered them to cut off the legs of the horses they rode. This move is very powerful. Ren Huan orders the officers and soldiers to dismount and fight. He takes the lead. His hand is as fast as lightning, and he cuts down several Japanese pirates. His brave spirit greatly inspired the army and the people to fight against each other. As a result, the Japanese pirates turned defeat into victory, abandoned more than 100 corpses and fled in confusion
