In 1563, Qi Jiguang was appointed as the General of Fujian, which was the highest rank among military officers. However, the actual circumstances rarely allowed him to formulate an overall strategic policy.
Secondly, Qi Jiguang's troops were always just a tactical unit. Firearms could not play a decisive role, and the paddy fields in the south prevented cavalry from galloping back and forth, so it was impossible to create complex tactics involving coordinated operations among various military units. Even within the scope of infantry tactics, he was also subject to various constraints.
Thirdly, Qi Jiguang was not afraid of initial losses in battle, as he knew that combat was nothing more than dismantling the enemy's military organization. As long as he applied overwhelming force to the key points of the enemy's organization, the hubs that coordinated and controlled their activities would be eliminated, and the overall situation would quickly disintegrate.
Fourth, when dealing with enemies like the Japanese pirates, as long as the Japanese are defeated, most of the Chinese collaborators will lay down their weapons and surrender.
5. The Qi Army could capture Japanese pirate strongholds that other official armies could not resolve within months, annihilating the enemy in just a few hours.
