In the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing, the enemy invaded Jiaxing again, and Yu personally led the main force and cooperated with the staff. In Wang Jiangjingjing (now north of Jiaxing), he defeated the enemy. According to historical records, the enemy drowned 2,000 and drowned countless times in this campaign, which was called "the first meritorious service". However, just as the anti-Japanese cause was in full swing, it was affected by this letter. As a result, the enemy once again took the opportunity to make trouble and even threatened Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, the upright man above the imperial court defended Yu, and Yu was appointed as the company commander of this unit again.
At that time, there was infighting among the enemy. So he seized this opportunity to attack Xu Hai, one of the enemy leaders. In World War I, 1600 people were killed by the enemy, and Xu Hai threw himself into the sea. Later, Wang Zhi, the leader of the enemy, was imprisoned in prison and then executed. His gang occupied cengang, Zhejiang Province, and threatened to avenge Wang Zhi. Yu and the famous Qi Jiguang attacked cengang in one place, and the enemy fled in all directions. Hu Zongxian, the supreme head of the Anti-Japanese War at that time, thought it was more advantageous to let the enemy escape, so he didn't send troops to pursue him, but he was impeached. Hu Zongxian said it was Yu's idea, and Emperor Jiajing was furious that Yu was put into prison. Although he was later rescued, he was sent to Datong in the north.
Just as he was "making amends and making meritorious deeds" in Datong, the enemies along the southeast coast began to attack in all directions again. Historical records record that "Funing to Zhang Quan, a thousand miles away is a thief hole." In Jiajing 4 1, 1 1, the Japanese army captured Xinghua Fucheng (now Putian, Fujian). This is the first time in history that the government city was captured by the Japanese army, and Xinghua was looted by the Japanese army as a result. The situation in Fujian is tense, so we have to ask Mingting for help.
At this time, Yu once again entered the field of vision of Emperor Jiajing, was appointed as Fujian company commander, and immediately went to Fujian to lead War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. From then on, the second stage of his anti-Japanese career began.
Yu believes that the capture of Xinghua is of great significance, which not only threatens Fujian, but also affects Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong if it is not handled properly, so he wrote that "all provinces should send troops to transport grain and destroy this enemy, so as to avoid future disasters." Qi Jiguang, who was in Zhejiang at that time, was approved by the Ming court, and immediately recruited more than 10,000 militiamen to step up training, and Yu also recruited 6,000 people in Zhangzhou.
Time came to April of the following year. Yu, Qi Jiguang and Guangdong reinforcements stationed in Xinghua, with Qi Jiguang in charge, Yu in charge of the right wing and Guangdong reinforcements in charge of the left wing. Three Ming armies fought bravely to kill the enemy, and Qi Jiguang took the lead in climbing the tower, followed by the left and right wings. In this battle, 2,200 people were killed, 3,000 people were rescued, and Xinghua City was successfully recovered. Since then, Japan's disasters along the coast of Fujian have basically subsided.
After being hit hard in Fujian, the enemy moved to the coastal areas of Guangdong to continue the uprising. In the forty-third year of Jiajing, namely 1564, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Guangdong and Guangxi due to the grim situation of defending the enemy. After he took office, on the one hand, he actively built warships, on the other hand, he recruited local peasant troops and miners to enrich Yu Jiajun. Yu fought against the enemy in Haifeng, Guangdong, and defeated the enemy in Dade Port in Haifeng. Twenty thousand Japanese pirates in Chaozhou and Huizhou were basically wiped out. Wu Ping, a traitor who colluded with the enemy at that time, was alone, so he pretended to surrender. Soon, Wu Ping seized the opportunity, once again assembled tens of thousands of people and hundreds of warships to plunder the coastal areas based in South Australia.
In the forty-fourth year of Jiajing, Yu led sailors and Qi Jiguang led Lu soldiers to jointly attack South Australia. Wuping was defeated and fled to Leizhou and Lianzhou. Then sent to continue the pursuit, Wu Ping and fled to Guangdong. A year later, Wu Ping rallied the beaten army and led 30 warships to flee to Annan (present-day Vietnam), but was completely annihilated after being discovered by the Ming army, and Wu Ping himself committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea in desperation. Since then, the scourge of the Japanese pirates, which had long threatened the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, has basically been put down. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, I fought on the battlefield for 46 years and died at the age of 76. The Ming court posthumously awarded him as the left governor, and specially granted posthumous title Wu Xiang.
In order to cherish talents, Yu recommended talents to the court many times. When he was training, he put forward that "when training, you should practice bravery first, and when you practice bravery, you should teach skills first." If you have skills, you will be brave, and if you are brave, you will be strong. " It can be said that this kind of training thought not only forged Yu Jiajun into a strong team at that time, but also profoundly influenced later generations. Yu's character is honest and frank, and he never caters to the powerful, which has also become an important reason for his bumpy career. But even if he was framed and imprisoned, he always maintained his initial intention of joining the army to serve the country when he was young.
Besides leading troops to fight, Yu is also an all-rounder in martial arts. In terms of martial arts, he once went to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts, and defeated many monks in Shaolin by himself.
In addition, he also wrote a book "Sword Sutra", which described the usage of stick and long weapon in detail. Even Qi Jiguang praised: "This is the eternal secret. Recently, this method has achieved good results in teaching pike. It's great! Wonderful! "
As far as "literature" is concerned, Yu loves to write poems, many of which are used to express his patriotic feelings and ambitions. He wrote in a poem "Ode to Peony" that "there are Qian Qian species in idle flowers at present, and this kind of person is the strangest. The country is so beautiful, who knows when Dan Xin will be lonely. " Later generations even compiled his poems into a collection, named "Zhengqitang Collection". Zhang Zeng, a famous minister in Qing Dynasty, commented that "the great ambition is integrity and kindness". Several achievements have been made, and prestige is in the south. "This is the anti-Japanese star Yu. He and Qi Jiguang are called' Yulong'.
