At the beginning of the second phase of the Dingyuan operation, a battle also took place in the far south. Unlike the Guanning Army and the Russian Army, which fought with infantry, this battle was dominated by naval forces. What happened was a massive naval battle. 【】The result of the war was the complete annihilation of the Taiwan Navy of the Ming Dynasty led by Liu Guoxuan. This battle marked the complete destruction of the last ray of fragrance in the territory of the Ming Dynasty in China.And those who ruined it were the ancient traitors Shi Lang and Yao Qisheng, both of whom were Han Chinese.

Zhao Qiang, who has been paying attention to the movement of soldiers and horses from all walks of life, didn't think of Taiwan at first, but for some reason, after the northern pioneer team set off, he felt a little sleepy, thinking that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, so he explained some matters, Go back and sleep with your head covered.But the strange thing was that he couldn't fall asleep even though he was sleepy. In desperation, Zhao Qiang could only sit on the bed and wonder what was wrong with him.It took him a long time to realize that it was Taiwan in the south that affected his nerves. Although he never thought about this doomed war, and this war that fascinated the Han people, this war that Kangxi called The war in the "unified" country really made Zhao Qiang very sad.

Mourning for the misfortune of the Han people, mourning for the Zheng family’s failure to fight, mourning for what I can do, mourning the injustice of the heavens, and killing me, a big man!

Zhao Qiang didn't have a good impression of the Zheng family, but regardless of the purpose of their political group to support the Ming Dynasty, after all, in Taiwan, Han Chinese and clothes have been inherited.The Zheng family's merits still outweigh their demerits, Zhao Qiang sighed secretly, and pictures flashed in his mind. ,

In the 19th year of Kangxi, Zheng Jing lost the war with the Qing Dynasty, abandoned Xiamen and Jinmen, and retreated to Taiwan.Governor Yao Qisheng of Fujian planned to attack Taiwan, but was opposed by Admiral Wan Zhengse of the Fujian Navy, and some ministers supported Wan Zhengse's law. Kangxi also worried that Wu Shi in the southwest was not resolved, so he decided to postpone the attack.

In the 20th year of Kangxi, a coup took place in the Zheng Dynasty. Zheng Ke, who was only 12 years old, succeeded Yanping King. The power was actually controlled by Feng Xifan and Liu Guoxuan. The centripetal force of Zheng's officials began to waver.Yao Qisheng thought it was a good time to attack Taiwan, but Wan Zhengse still opposed sending troops.Yao Qisheng knew that Shi Lang hated the Zheng dynasty and would help him defeat the Zheng army, so he asked Emperor Kangxi Shi Lang.Emperor Kangxi was also dissatisfied with Wan Zhengse's anti-war attitude, so he agreed to Shi Lang as the admiral of the navy and Wan Zhengse as the admiral of the land division.

According to Kangxi's plan, Yao Qisheng, Wan Zhengse, and governor Wu Xingzuo should discuss the battle together, but Shi Lang planned to rule out the restraint of Yao Qisheng and others so that he could attack Taiwan with full authority. However, Emperor Kangxi only agreed that Wu Xingzuo was in charge of logistics, and still ordered Yao Qisheng and Shi Lang Send troops together.

On the fifth day of May in the 21st year of Kangxi, the Qing army arrived at Tongshan Island, but Yao Qisheng and Shi Lang had a dispute over the timing of sending troops. Yao Qisheng advocated using the north wind in winter, and Shi Lang advocated using the south wind in summer, which led to the smooth dispatch of troops by the Qing army.In the end, Kangxi ruled that Shi Lang was in charge of frontline operations on the sixth day of October, and Yao Qisheng was transferred to logistics operations, allowing Shi Lang to obtain the command as he wished.On the third day of November, Shi Lang led about 21000 people and 23 warships to Xinghua Pinghaiwei to train the army.

After Yao Qisheng's military power fell behind, in order to prevent Shi Lang from gaining military exploits alone, he turned to negotiate with the Zheng Dynasty.However, Shi Lang was determined to lead the battle, and Liu Guoxuan, who was in charge of the negotiation, refused to accept shaving his hair and changing clothes, so the negotiation broke down.On May 22rd in the [-]nd year of Kangxi, Kangxi ordered Shi Lang to attack as soon as possible, so the Penghu naval battle broke out in June.

In the 33rd year of the Yongli calendar, Taiwan continued to use the name of the Yongli calendar year. The Qing Dynasty implemented the decree of moving borders, which severely hit the trade of the Zheng dynasty. There were also problems with food supplies. Zheng Jing ordered that each household must pay an extra bucket of rice every month, and the generals must also With his own salary, there is still no way to resolve the crisis.At that time, the British Chamber of Commerce treated the Zheng Dynasty like this: "The situation of the king of Taiwan is very unstable, and it is not easy to resist the Manchus. The Manchus often use threats. Because the king's wealth is consumed, he extorts violently from the people every day, and it cannot be used. The army is satisfied. Therefore, our country is not only threatened by the enemy's Qing army, but also fears that the army's Zheng army will rebel due to lack of pay."

After Zheng Jing retreated to Taiwan in the 34th year of the Yongli calendar, Penghu became an important front line, but the defense was very weak.It was not until October, when Shi Lang arrived in Xiamen and Fu Weilin responded to the Qing army, that Liu Guoxuan went to Penghu to strengthen his defense.After Liu Guoxuan arrived in Penghu, he built cities at Niangma Palace, Fengguiwei, Sijiao Islet, and Jilong Islet; set up forts at Dongshi, Xishi, Neiqian, Waiqian, Xiyutou, and Niuxinshan.At the same time, a low wall was built on the seaside and firecrackers were deployed to prevent the Qing army from landing.

In the 37th year of the Yongli calendar, Liu Guoxuan learned that Shi Lang was preparing to attack, so he dispatched soldiers from Taiwan's main island to Penghu, and converted merchant ships and private ships into warships, preparing for a decisive battle.

On June 22th in the 3000nd year of Kangxi, Shi Lang set off from Tongshan Island, and Yao Qisheng also sent [-] people to go with Shi Lang.On the [-]th, the sentry ship of the Zheng army discovered that the Qing army had arrived in the area of ​​Huayu and Maoyu, and hurriedly reported to Liu Guoxuan.

On the 7th, Shi Lang attacked Niangma Palace, using the fast bird boat as the vanguard.Liu Guoxuan asked Lin Sheng and Jiang Sheng to command the water army; Qiu Hui was the vanguard, and he himself supervised the battle at the port of Niangmagong.At that time, the Qing army did not dare to advance due to the obstruction of the wind. Only seven fleets headed by Lan Li broke into the Zheng army.

Shi Lang sent out a second wave of bird boat troops. Soon after the battle, the tide began to rise, and some Qing army ships were washed to the shore by the sea. Zheng Jun took advantage of the situation and divided the fleet into two wings to surround the Qing army.Seeing this, Shi Lang rushed into Zheng's army, trying to rescue the besieged ships, but was surrounded by Lin Sheng's army.Shi Lang was shot in the right eye by a blunderbuss during the battle, but he was not blind; Lin Sheng was also broken in his left leg by a cannon.Lin Sheng's injury caused Zheng Jun to lose his command, Shi Lang took the opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield and rest in the sea near Xiyu.

Shi Lang returned to Bachou Island on the [-]th. The terrain of Bachou Island is dangerous. Ships are likely to hit the reefs near the island in stormy weather. In June of the lunar calendar, typhoons are prone to occur, but Shi Lang was lucky not to encounter a typhoon.Liu Guoxuan learned that the Qing army was resting on Babao Island, and personally attacked but was repelled by Shi Lang.Shi Lang took advantage of the situation and occupied Hujing Islet and Tongpan Islet on the [-]th.

On the 22nd, Shi Lang decided to launch a general attack, dividing the fleet into three lines of attack, leaving about 0 ships as a backup force: Road: a total of 56 ships, divided into teams, each with 7 ships.Directed by Shi Lang himself, as the main force to attack Niangma Palace.Right: A total of 50 ships attacked Jilong Islet and Sijiao Islet from Dongshi, and then joined the Central Army to attack Zheng Jun.Left: A total of 50 ships invaded Niuxin Bay from the inner moat, making Zheng Jun misjudgment that the Qing army was going to land here.

Before dawn, the typhoon began to blow.Affected by the typhoon at Chenshi, the northwest wind blew from the sea. Zheng Jun attacked along with the wind and was in the upper hand for a while. The Qing general Zhu Tiangui was shelled to death.At noon, the typhoon was affected by the equatorial front, and the sea began to blow southerly, and the wind direction changed to favor the Qing army.Shi Lang ordered the whole army to counterattack, fired all kinds of firearms along the wind, and besieged Zheng Jun with several boats. Zheng Jun collapsed completely, Jiang Sheng and Qiu Hui were killed in battle.Seeing that the situation was over, Liu Guoxuan led the remnants of the army to retreat from Houmen to Taiwan, and Zheng Jun from all the Penghu islands surrendered to Shi Lang.After Shi Lang's victory, considering that Taiwan's waterways were very dangerous, it was difficult to march.Shi Lang decided to suspend the attack and adopt a psychological attack, causing the Zheng Dynasty to collapse from within.Shi Lang sent people to heal the wounded surrendered Zheng Jun, rationed them with clothes and food, and sent the soldiers back to Taiwan.He also recruited the generals of the Zheng army as internal support. He You, who was defending Tamsui, first had an affair with Shi Lang, and other generals followed suit.

The news of Zheng Jun's defeat spread to Taiwan, and people began to feel uneasy.In order to continue the survival of the regime, some generals proposed to attack the Philippines, which was agreed by Feng Xifan.However, it was rumored that the expeditionary army only wanted to rob and flee overseas, so Liu Guoxuan blocked this plan.Later, under Liu Guoxuan's strong advocacy, Zheng Ke surrendered to Shi Lang on July [-], and shaved his hair and changed clothes on August [-], officially announcing the demise of the Zheng Dynasty.

Counting that Taiwan has already fallen, it is a pity that the [-] Han people are gone. Zhao Qiang feels a little heavy. Once upon a time, he also had the idea of ​​moving the Han people from Taiwan to the Far East, but the formation of a huge navy made him only hopelessly sighed. .

The performance of Zheng Jun in the Battle of Penghai can only be said to be average. Some died for the country, and some committed suicide because they did not want to surrender. There were even more generals who died in the battle, but the tragedy was far less tragic than the Battle of Yashan. Desperate.

Zhao Qiang admitted that his mood for the Penghu battle was completely different from the heaviness of the Yashan battle. The Penghu battle made him feel regretful, but the Yashan battle made him cry.

The same alien invasion, the same last battle of the Han Chinese!The Southern Song Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty are so similar, but in the final battle of national integrity, the difference between the two is worlds apart.

Although the court of the Southern Song Dynasty surrendered to the Mongolian Yuan in Lin'an, Fujian and the two large areas were still under the control of the small imperial court in exile. Li Tingzhi also carried out tenacious resistance in the Huaidong and Huaixi areas.However, Huaidong, Huaixi and other places fell one after another, and Li Tingzhi died in battle.In November of the first year of Jingyan, the Yuan army approached Fuzhou. At this time, Fuzhou had 17 regular troops, 30 militiamen, and 11 Huai soldiers. Unable to stabilize, he began to flee again.After leaving Fuzhou, the small imperial court could only go into exile, traveling to Quanzhou, Chaozhou, Huizhou and other places.In the spring of Jingyan's third year, he came to the vicinity of Leizhou.On the way to escape, Prime Minister Chen Yi contacted Champa on the pretext of contacting Champa, but never returned.Duanzong fell ill while fleeing, and died on April [-]th at the age of [-].After Duanzong's death, the leader of the group, seeing that the small court was about to fall apart, Lu Xiufu was impassioned and cheered up his morale:

"Why did you disperse? The son of Duzong is still there, what should he do? The ancients relied on one city and one brigade to revive, not to mention that there are still tens of thousands of soldiers. As long as God keeps the Zhao family, can't we rely on this to create another one?" A country?" The officials then embraced Zhao, who was only 7 years old, as emperor and changed his Yuan to Xiangxing.

The Yuan army fought at every step, and soon Leizhou fell, and the situation was critical.Zhang Shijie led his army to counterattack Leizhou several times, but failed, so he moved the regime in exile to Yashan.History seems to be destined to choose this place to turn an unprecedented tragic page. When the Song army arrived at Yashan, there were still 20 regular troops and militiamen, while the attacking Yuan army was only tens of thousands. In terms of military strength, the two sides differed greatly. Moreover, the Yuan army was not good at water warfare, and the Song army suspected of having an advantage.But Zhang Shijie made a serious mistake in his command at this time. He judged that the Mongols' advantage was cavalry, and they were not good at water warfare. Facing the sea, connect them with big cables, surround them with fences, form a square formation of water villages, and cover the sides of the wooden warships with pads to defend against the rockets and crossbows of the Yuan army. Zhao's imperial boats live in the square formation , intending to stay here.Zhang Shijie made a mistake in this move. First, he gave up control of the estuary, which is tantamount to handing over the initiative of the war to the opponent; , but lost mobility.Afterwards, Zhang Hongfan led a large number of Yuan troops to arrive, controlled the entrance to the sea to the south of Yashan, and cut off all the retreat routes of the Song army from the two flanks of the north and south.The Song army fell into a situation of isolation and aid. For more than 10 days after that, the Song army could only satisfy their hunger with dry food and drink sea water to quench their thirst.

At that time, Zhang Shijie had a nephew in the Yuan army, and Zhang Hongfan sent him to the Song camp three times in a row to persuade Zhang Shijie to surrender. Zhang Shijie said: "I know that I was born and rich, but my righteousness cannot be moved!".

Zhang Hongfan also asked Tianxiang, who was imprisoned, to write a letter to recruit Zhang Shijie. Tianxiang said: "I can't defend my parents, but teach people to betray their parents, okay?"

After hard encounters, there are few stars all around.

The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is fluttering.

Pantou said panic, sighing separately.

Whoever dies in life since ancient times, keeps his loyal heart according to history.

Zhang Hongfan then sent someone to say to the people in Yashan, "Your Prime Minister Chen Yi has gone to occupy the city, and Prime Minister Tianxiang has been arrested. What else do you want?" However, the soldiers and the people rebelled!

On the morning of the sixth day of February, the Yuan army launched a general offensive.Yuan general Li Heng commanded the navy to take advantage of the low tide in the morning and the southward flow of the sea to cross the shallow water that is difficult for warships to cross, and launched a surprise attack on the Song army from the north. By noon, the Song army in the north had been captured by the Yuan army. rout.Under the command of Zhang Hongfan, the Yuan army in the south launched another attack on the Song army by taking advantage of the high tide at noon and the sea flowing northward.The Song army was attacked from the north and the south, and the soldiers were exhausted physically and mentally. They fought hard and were defeated across the board.The battle continued from dawn to dusk, and the Song army was in chaos. Zhang Shijie ordered to cut the ropes and led more than 10 warships to escort Queen Mother Yang to break through.Zhang Shijie led his handsome boat to the periphery. Seeing that Zhao's imperial boat was too large to break through, he sent a small boat to meet it.It was late at that time, the sea was very windy and windy, and there was no one on the other side. Lu Xiufu was afraid that the boat was faked by the Yuan army, so he flatly refused to come and take Zhao away.Zhang Shijie had no choice but to lead the battleship to escort Empress Dowager Yang out of the cliff gate.

The defeat of the Song army was settled, and Lu Xiufu knew that there was no possibility of escape, so he drove his wife and son into the sea, and then said to Zhao: "The matter has come to this, your majesty should die for the country. Emperor Deyou has been humiliated, your majesty must not Humiliate again!"

Wearing a dragon robe and a jade seal on his chest, Zhao just said "I know", and jumped into the sea with Lu Xiufu to commit suicide.A few days later, Lu Xiufu's body surfaced in the sea and was buried by local villagers.When the Yuan army was clearing the battlefield, they found the body of a young boy in yellow clothes with a golden seal and the four characters "Zhao Zhibao". They sent it to Zhang Hongfan, and it was confirmed that it was the jade seal brought by Zhao.When Zhang Hongfan sent people to search for Zhao's body, his whereabouts were unknown.

Zhang Shijie protected Empress Dowager Yang to break out of the siege. After hearing the news of the emperor's death, Empress Dowager Yang covered her chest with her hands and cried loudly: "I disregarded life and death, and traveled thousands of miles to come here to preserve the blood of the Zhao family. Now I have seen it!" The sea died.The Yuan army continued to send heavy troops to pursue Zhang Shijie, while the weak Song army fought and left.Zhang Shijie planned to rectify the army and horses after arriving in Champa, and then tried to recover. On the fourth day of May, the ship encountered a typhoon at Pingzhang Port in Nan'en Prefecture.His subordinates persuaded him to go ashore, but he said no, he burned incense and looked up to the sky and said: "I have done my best for the Zhao family. When one king died, another king was established, and now he is dead again. I will not die because I want to survive for the Zhao family." Sacrifice. If the sky does not let me recover the Zhao family, the strong wind will overturn my boat!" At this time, the wind and waves were even bigger, and the boat capsized and people died. The surviving soldiers burned Zhang Shijie's body for burial, and the tomb is still on Hailing Island.The remaining resistance force of the Southern Song Dynasty was completely wiped out so far.

With the general situation gone, in order not to let the warships fall into the enemy's hands, the Song army scuttled hundreds of warships by themselves. Then, more than [-] soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty, including officials, soldiers, women, and common people, did not want to be killed by the brutal Mongols. Enslaved by the regime, one after another committed suicide...

The history of the Song Dynasty compiled by Meng Yuan objectively recorded this historical fact: Seven days later, there were hundreds of thousands of corpses floating in the sea... 10 people committed suicide.

In the vast history of the country, there is only one line left about the Battle of Yashan, but the shocking meaning behind it made Zhao Qiang sigh.

Although the Southern Song Dynasty was overthrown, the loss was so tragic and strong, but compared with the Southern Ming Dynasty, it was astonishing.After the Penghai naval battle, a large number of generals of the Zheng army surrendered, and the vast island of Taiwan had no more than a thousand martyrs for the Ming Dynasty.The number of thousands of people and the number of one hundred thousand, this is by no means a numerical comparison!

Why?Where has the integrity of our Han people gone!Is it really gorgeous after Yashan? Is there really no integrity of the Han people?No!Thinking of the heartache, Zhao Qiang kicked over the table and roared in the room, frightened the guards outside to enter the door, staring at the head of the division dumbfounded, not sure what happened to the head of the division.

"Go, set up a mourning hall for me."

Zhao Qiang let out a painful sigh, no matter what happened in the Penghu sea battle, someone must set up an incense hall for the generals and soldiers who died in the battle, and change the outcome by their own efforts, so they can only do their best to pay homage to them.

This chapter is a foreign story, because the Penghu naval battle occurred at the same time, so I use some pen and ink to write down the general process.The battle of Yashan was really a whim of the bone, and under the tears, it was knocked out more, and this level was regarded as nonsense that the bone was talking to itself.

Two or three will be released later.
