Great Wall at Huangya Pass Review

Tianjin Jixian Huangyaguan Great Wall Scenic Area, on the earthen hill in front of the square of Yucheng, there is a granite statue of a height of 8.5 meters. He is dressed all over, majestic and solemn, overlooking the mountains... He is the national hero Qi Jiguang, who has been in the town of Shouqi Town and Weizhen Bianzhai for 16 years in the Ming Dynasty. Longqing two years (1568), after calming the chaos of the southeast coast, the court ordered Qi Jiguang to be the general soldier of the town, the town guard area from the east to the mountain customs, west to the Juyongguan area. Qi Jiguang to be the general soldier of the town, it is time for the border chaos of the town, the disabled cavalry frequently harassed. The most urgent task at that time was to build a brave and wary army as soon as possible to curb the arrogance of the disabled forces. In order to prevent the invasion of the northern disabled forces, Emperor Longqing swore under the book, mobilized 30,000 infantry, recruited 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers, and specially trained by Qi Jiguang to establish a brave and wary army. Qi Jiguang summed up his experience in training soldiers in Zhejiang to fight the war, and formulated training content such as courage, ear and eye, hand and foot, and camp formation. Before training, he first paid attention to the selection of soldiers to ensure the quality of the army. His principle of military selection is not to use the city oily people, only the country honest people, the standard of military selection is strength, skill, smart, courage and careful. At that time, the original officers and soldiers in the town were not used to fighting, loose style, undisciplined, slow and difficult, and scattered, lacking combat power. Qi Jiguang then recruited the killers and gunmen in eastern Zhejiang, and then recruited the strong men from the northwest. After 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers arrived in Tonglu Town, it was raining heavily, and Zhejiang soldiers were lined up outside, standing in the rain from morning to night, motionless, this scene shocked the officials and soldiers in Yuanqi Town. This part of Zhejiang soldiers later became the backbone of the town of Shouqi Town, Qi Jiguang Town. In order to escape the border dilemma, the court approved Qi Jiguang's proposal to "create a hollow enemy station and plan the Great Wall border preparation". After receiving the order, Qi Jiguang and Lei worked hard to divide the task of repairing the Great Wall hollow enemy platform to the defense officers and soldiers in each section. In the first year, more than 400 hollow enemy platforms were repaired by various officers and soldiers, and more than 1,100 hollow enemy platforms were repaired within three years. In the autumn of Longqing five years (1571), the construction of all the Great Wall defense facilities within the defense area of Yuzhen was completed. The repair of the hollow enemy platform not only improved the Great Wall defense system, but also accumulated experience for the comprehensive reform of the Great Wall defense system. In order to prevent the intrusion of the disabled cavalry, Qi Jiguang divided the defense of the town into three joint guards, 12 roads, each joint guard is responsible for four roads, the main, the guest, the army is arranged in one, and the whole line of the Great Wall of the town forms a mobile and flexible organic whole. Qi Jiguang himself also climbed the main peak of Panshan to hang the moon peak, high and far away, chanting the ancient singing "Climbing Panshan to the top": frost corner a grass and trees decline, the cloud head to the stone door open. Shuo wind corner is not drunk, the fallen leaves return to the raven countless. But to make the carving go to kill gas, why not white hair old side. Le Mingfeng who and, so Li General dance sword platform.
