Qi Jiguang was a famous Chinese military general of the Ming dynasty, who led his forces to defend the eastern coast of China from raids by the Japanese pirates. In the late Ming period, the villagers and soldiers of Yiwu had low morale and were living in misery due to the corruption within the local government and repeated invasions at the Chinese coast. Together with Yu Dayou, General Qi stepped in to recruit three thousand local villagers to have them disciplined via drilling and training. With advanced weapons and fine tactical deployment, the first ever "special forces", also known as the famous "Qi Army", was born.
