How miserable was Qi Jiguang s later years, and what was the reason?

One of the reasons is that he was implicated because he had a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng; Another reason is that his ideas on military reform have touched the interests of too many people, so they have been opposed and excluded by the majority of the people.

It's miserable. The reason is that Qi Jiguang suffered from lung disease in his later years, and his long-term illness coupled with poverty made him have no money to ask for a doctor and medicine in the end.

We know that Qi Jiguang's big backer is Zhang Juzheng, and after Zhang Juzheng's death, as Zhang Juzheng's absolute cronies, Qi Jiguang was still affected. In the end, Qi Jiguang was seriously ill, one said that he was a lung disease, poor in his early years, and led troops to fight in his middle age, and his wife was separated in his later years, and his family was almost ruined, and he was poor and didn't even have money to take medicine, which was very miserable.

Qi Jiguang's later years were particularly miserable, and he didn't even have the money to buy medicine; The reason is that his umbrella Zhang Juzheng was deposed shortly after his death, and his wife also swept away all his property.

His later years were indeed very miserable, in fact, mainly because his power was very large, so the emperor was very jealous.

Needless to say, Qi Jiguang's great achievements in resisting Japanese aggression have long been evaluated by history. Legend has it that this famous general is not only brave in battle, but also has a high emotional intelligence, and Li Yi has a relatively smooth career as a horseman, and has not suffered anything like "good bow hiding".

But why did this national hero, in his old age, still lose his official position and resign, and even suffer from poverty and illness? There are even rumors that he didn't even have the money to take medicine when he was sick.

To the point that there is no money to buy medicine, I think it's a bit exaggerated. After all, a generation of famous generals is deeply loved by the people. Even if you don't have any money for a while, others won't stand idly by.

Of course, even if Qi Jiguang's old age is not as miserable as that of the poor people, it is not comfortable.

At this time, he was frustrated in officialdom, and his wife and concubine stayed away.

1. Affected by Zhang Juzheng's "Pond Fish".

After Zhang Juzheng's death, political enemies arose, and Emperor Wanli seemed to come back to his senses and liquidated the former Shoufu Lord. It just so happened that Zhang Juzheng himself was not informal, his life was quite extravagant, and a lot of gold and silver were found in the house, so the Wanli Emperor had an excuse to veto Zhang Juzheng's credit and implicate the so-called Zhang Group. Qi Jiguang was included in it and was dismissed and returned to his hometown.

Second, the husband and wife are out of harmony and live alone in the village.

Qi Jiguang's wife is jealous, but she has no children, so Qi Jiguang hid from her and placed a few concubines to continue the incense. When Mrs. learned about this, she was furious. Qi Jiguang was helpless and passed the son of a concubine Zhengyou to his wife's knees.

Who knew that the providence made people, and this son died again. The lady suffered a heavy blow, became discouraged, and went back to live in her mother's house. Those concubines did not stay by Qi Jiguang's side for a long time, causing Qi Jiguang to be lonely in his later years.

In the situation of frustration in officialdom and lack of family warmth, Qi Jiguang in his later years can indeed be regarded as desolate.
