The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 455: Battle of Yashan - Song History Hinge
{When I was young, I didn’t feel anything when I read this poem. I just wanted to memorize it quickly.}
{Now when I read this poem again in the context of history, the feelings I have now are completely different.}
｛I learned Wen Tianxiang's "Crossing the Lingding Ocean" when I was in junior high school, but I didn't understand it at first.｝
{Later, I met more people and walked more roads}

{Only then did I realize the power of "Since ancient times, everyone is mortal, but I will leave my loyalty to shine in history."}
{Mr. Xu said, "Since ancient times, China has had people who work hard, people who work hard, people who speak up for the people, and people who sacrifice their lives for the law. They are the backbone of China."}
{There are so many talented people in Dasong, the emperor thought it was not difficult and wanted to challenge himself.}
{There is no shortage of generals and ministers, only the emperor's throne is equipped with a 610 graphics card}

……

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng generally understood this because he knew of the existence of such loyal ministers and good generals.

But I don’t quite understand.

Because he had never really seen it.

"Good man..."

He admires such people, but doesn't want to see such people appear.

Because that can only mean one thing.

The country will perish.

What a coincidence...

The Qin Dynasty is dead...

The death is what everyone wants!
No one misses...

Ying Zheng closed his eyes.

Even worse than the Song Dynasty...

……

Big man.

"Good poem..."

Liu Bang lamented the poem about dying to show one's will
It is also a pity that this person's loyalty has been wasted.

……

[At that time, in order to find a place for the small court to settle down, Zhang Shijie led his army to try to retake Leizhou several times, but failed. ]

[And there is an island called Yashan to the south of Xinhui City, Guangdong Province today. ]

[There are two small hills protruding from the east and west sides of Yashan Island, namely Yashan and Tangpingshan. ]

[The two mountains face each other like a gate, called Yamen, which is only about one mile wide, forming a natural harbor where boats can be stored.]

[“Whenever strong winds blow from the south, water rushes in from overseas, raging and surging like mountains”, and “the cliffs and mountains face each other from east to west, and the water is shallow in the north”]

[This geographical feature allows the warships on the island to "fight with the tide" or "go out with the tide" during high tide and low tide every morning and noon.]

【Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu then decided to move the exiled regime to Yashan.】

[It was never expected that the Southern Song Dynasty would end its life on this small island. ]

……

On the canopy.

Suddenly, the sea was covered with wind and rain at dusk, and thick fog filled the air.

The sea is vast and the enemy is pressing in.

The rumbling stone cannons smashed the ships and tore a hole in the Song army's navy.

Ship's side connection.

The Mongolian army climbed onto the "floating island" like ants

And their goal is the largest and best imperial boat in the middle.

On the imperial boat.

Several palace maids helped the young emperor put on the dragon robe while crying.

The little emperor was a little confused, but also somewhat enlightened.

Watch the emperor change his clothes.

The minister in front of him knelt down and kowtowed, saying in a hoarse voice:

"Your Majesty, at this point, Your Majesty should sacrifice your life for your country."

"The last emperor was humiliated by Mongolia, Your Majesty must not be humiliated again."

The little emperor looked out the porthole.

With beacon fires everywhere, the Mongolian army was like bloodthirsty beasts, slaughtering the soldiers and civilians on the ship.

"Prime Minister Lu, I understand."

"We cannot let the events of Emperors Huizong and Qinzong happen again."

The minister bowed silently.

Then he picked up the little emperor.

Walk towards the stern.

……

[In the first month of 1279, after reconnaissance, the Yuan army learned the whereabouts of the Southern Song Dynasty and headed straight for Yashan by both land and water.]

[Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu and others led more than 200,000 Song army soldiers and their families to the sea of ​​Yashan, constantly preparing for war, and also received support from surrounding counties and sea dwellers. ]

[On the sixth day of the second month, the Yuan army launched a general attack, with the Mongolian cavalry on land and the Han navy at sea working together to attack the remnant of the Southern Song army.]

[The Southern Song army was badly defeated, and Lu Xiufu threw himself into the sea with the young emperor Zhao Bing in his arms. More than 200,000 Southern Song soldiers and civilians either died in battle or drowned.]

[After Zhang Shijie broke out of the siege, he originally planned to go to Jiaozhi, and also wanted to serve Queen Mother Yang and seek the descendants of the Zhao family to establish the throne, and then make plans for the future.]

[However, upon hearing the news of Emperor Zhao Bing's death, Empress Dowager Yang also committed suicide by jumping into the sea, and Zhang Shijie buried her by the sea.]

[A hurricane suddenly struck, and the soldiers advised Zhang Shijie to go ashore]

[Zhang Shijie climbed up the ship's deck and said to himself, "I have done my best for the Zhao family. One ruler died, and another was appointed, but he died again. I am still alive just because I want the enemy to retreat and not appoint the Zhao family to save the country. The wind and waves are like this now. Is this God's will?"]

[In the midst of a violent storm, the soldiers saw him fall into the sea, or he was swept into the sea by a typhoon, or more likely he threw himself into the sea and ended his life.]

【The young emperor Zhao Bing, Lu Xiufu, and Zhang Shijie are all dead. 】

[The Battle of Yashan brought an end to the Song Dynasty.]

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Heng sighed deeply.

"Its rise is rapid, and its demise is sudden."

"The Song Dynasty finally ended its precarious fate amidst the rough seas and cold winds."

"More than three hundred years..."

"It is the longest-lived dynasty after the Han Dynasty."

...Liu Song.

Liu Yu stood in the courtyard wearing a white robe.

"When the country was founded, it was full of ambition and ambition, but when it ended, it was tragic and desolate."

"Foreign tribes are eyeing the Central Plains covetously, and factions within the court are fighting and treacherous officials are usurping power."

"Even so, there are so many heroic figures who are worthy of praise and admiration."

"Song Dynasty..."

……

Datang.

Li Shimin was tragic and heroic in that the emperor and his ministers died together.

He was also angry that Li Longji gave away all the advantages of the Tang Dynasty!
Three hundred years, longer than the Tang Dynasty!
……

Tang Xuanzong Period
"That's enough! Stop looking!"

Li Longji felt the stealthy gazes around him and said unhappily.

"Get ready!"

"But! No weapons allowed!"

"Otherwise I won't let you see Emperor Taizong!"

The guards, eunuchs, and palace maids all responded loudly and excitedly:

"Here!"

……

Great Song.

Zhao Kuangyin let out a long sigh, then sat on the stone pier in a daze.

it is finally over.

He thought so.

The Song Dynasty lasted three hundred years.

There are many political ills and many unbearable things.

But it has also created a splendid culture, a developed economy and an open mind.

It can be said that it is a blessing in disguise.

"Live for three hundred years."

"Oh, it's still better than the Tang Dynasty..."

……

On the canopy.

In the magnificent hall.

Kublai Khan looked at Wen Tianxiang, who was standing with his head held high and his bearing dignified.

He took a deep breath, held the dragon heads on both sides of the dragon throne with both hands, and said in a deep voice:
"If you can serve the Yuan Dynasty with your loyalty to the Song Dynasty, I will make you the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty."

Wen Tianxiang's eyes were clear and clean.

The breath moves the beard around the mouth.

He met Kublai's eyes and said without looking away:

"I am the number one scholar and prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Now that the Song Dynasty is gone, I can only die, not live!"

Kublai Khan was silent for a moment.

Speak slowly:
"My good man...what do you wish for?"

Wen Tianxiang said calmly:

"I wish to grant you death, that is enough."

……

[After the Battle of Yashan, Kublai Khan ordered Zhang Hongfan to treat Wen Tianxiang with courtesy and escort him to Dadu.]

[In October, Wen Tianxiang was taken to Dadu. The Yuan Dynasty received him as a guest of honor. From Emperor Gong of Song to officials of Yuan and Song, there was an endless stream of people trying to persuade him to surrender.]

【Wen Tianxiang refuted them one by one.】

[In November, Wen Tianxiang was imprisoned in a dungeon and suffered all kinds of hardships.]

[He suddenly received a letter from his eldest daughter Liu Niang, and learned that his wife and daughter were both slaves in the palace of Dadu.]

[He knew that this was the Yuan Dynasty's hint: as long as they surrendered, they could be reunited.]

[However, for the sake of justice, he endured the pain and did not write to his daughter, but wrote to his sister with a broken heart:]

[“Everyone loves his wife and children, but now that things have come to this, I must die. Please teach Liu and Huan to behave well. Daddy can’t do anything about it. I choke up with tears, choke up with tears!”]

[He then wrote the famous "Song of Righteousness" in prison]

……

All the emperors before the Yuan Dynasty looked at the famous poem in shock.

I was so surprised that I didn't know what to say.

……

[In 1282 AD, thousands of people rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty in Zhongshan Prefecture. The rebels claimed to be the young ruler of the Southern Song Dynasty and planned to rescue Prime Minister Wen from the prison in Yanjing.]

【Kublai Khan understood that Wen Tianxiang must surrender or die, there must be a conclusion.】

[On the eighth day of the twelfth month, Kublai Khan summoned Wen Tianxiang to the main hall and tried to persuade him to surrender for the last time, but to no avail.]

[On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wen Tianxiang calmly walked towards the execution ground in Chai City.]

[Faced with tens of thousands of civilians, he bowed twice to the south where his homeland was, and died heroically.]

[After his death, a suicide note was found in his belt.]

Confucius said it was Cheng Ren, and Mencius said it was Qi Yi.

Only when one has fulfilled one’s duty can one attain the highest level of benevolence.

What do we learn from reading the books of sages?
From now on, I will have no regrets!
[After Wen Tianxiang's funeral, his wife Ouyang also chose to follow Wen Tianxiang and committed suicide.]

[The last loyal minister of the dynasty finally chose to die for his country. ]

[At this point, the history of the Song Dynasty truly closed the last page of endless sighs.]
