Chapter 1591: Face History, Remember History
The Battle of Yashan, the pain that the Chinese people can never erase!
At that time, the military and civilians of the Song Dynasty had almost no place to stand on the land of China (there was also a Diaoyu City, but the soldiers and civilians of Yashan did not know), behind which was the barbaric Mongolian army that gathered the strength of most of the Eurasian continent, at this time, in addition to the barren Hai-Nandao, the 200,000 soldiers and civilians on the Yashan Sea were the last soul of the Han people!
On March 19, 1279, when the final decisive battle was gone, Lu Xiufu, the prime minister of Zuo, knew that it was difficult to escape, and the emperor had been captured before, so that the last royal blood would not fall into the hands of the Yuan army, he wore court clothes, carried the 8-year-old little emperor Zhao Yu to the bow of the boat, and carried the little emperor and resolutely jumped into the vast sea!
Seeing the emperor and the prime minister jumping into the sea and martyrdom, more than 100,000 Southern Song Dynasty soldiers died with each other, and they all resolutely jumped into the sea - after the war, more than 100,000 corpses floated into the sea!
Later, Zhang Shijie, who was in charge of the battle and led a very small number of ships to break out of the siege, learned that the emperor had committed suicide by jumping into the sea, and did not choose to flee to the southern islands, and also jumped into the sea to die for his country.
4 years later, Wen Tianxiang, who was also one of the "Three Heroes of the Late Song Dynasty", was generous and righteous in Dadu!
The martyrdom of 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty has always been the most tragic scene in China.
However, many people now ask: Why would 100,000 soldiers and civilians rather commit suicide by jumping into the sea than fight to the death with the Yuan soldiers?
If you want to fight to the death, how can it be so easy!
Yashan, the unyielding national character and integrity of the Han nation have reached the extreme here: if there is still hope for a turnaround, then why is this, this is the most tragic scene of 100,000 soldiers and civilians collectively throwing themselves into the sea and martyrdom!
In the face of the Mongol and Yuan Empire, which spanned Asia and Europe, the Southern Song Dynasty resisted for more than 50 years, and also killed the Yuan Dynasty emperor Meng Ge in Sichuan Hechuan.
The Mongol magnates have always wanted to kill the bloodline of the Southern Song court, and slaughtered the city countless times in the battle to destroy the Song Dynasty, even if they surrendered, it would be a death.
At the time of the Battle of Yashan, there were only the last 200,000 soldiers and civilians left in the Southern Song Dynasty, but most of them were "people", and there were not many soldiers with combat effectiveness after continuous battles.
If only the number of heads is counted, the number of Yuan troops and the number of ships are not as large as the Song army, but most of the Song army, which is already very small, is still an army, and has no experience in naval warfare at all.
Some people say that the Yuan army is dominated by Han sailors, and the main generals are also Han people...
Zhang Hongfan, the chief general of the Yuan army, is a Han Chinese, but he was a Jin country at all, not a Song person, the Mongolian Tatar cavalry is powerful, and the Han water army is the strongest combat force in the Yuan Dynasty water army!
How can 200,000 refugees fleeing thousands of miles fight against 20,000 elite soldiers?
Zhang Shijie, who commanded the Song army, connected the ships together, just like Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms, to turn the sea into land and fight to the death against the Mongol soldiers.
He is Taifu, will he not know the Battle of Chibi?
Zhang Shijie, the commander of the Song army, who was also from the Jin Kingdom, of course knew about the Battle of Chibi, but in that case, he had no choice!
The officers and men of the Southern Song Dynasty had no logistical supplies, and the water they drank was still seawater, and in addition to the harsh environment on board, many of the 200,000 "hodgepodge" had already fallen ill and had very weak combat effectiveness.
Once scattered, they would be lambs to the slaughter, and if they remained at sea and evaded the Yuan army, they would perish sooner or later.
There is only a decisive battle, and it cannot be an active decisive battle: some people say why didn't the Song army take the initiative?
A group of soldiers and civilians who have long lost much combat effectiveness, what can they take the initiative to attack?
Not to mention the previous escape, after the outbreak of the Battle of Yashan, there were several major battles, and half of the Song troops who fought desperately were killed and wounded, and only more than 100,000 people remained.
Moreover, under the strong attack of the Yuan army on the way to escape and before, most of the ships of the Song army had been damaged - Zhang Shijie, who was in charge of commanding the battle, counted the ships after breaking out of the encirclement of the Yuan army in the final decisive battle, and found that there were more than 10 ships left of more than 1,000 ships.
This is a naval battle, not a street battle, or the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty want to fight to the death with the Yuan army, but the boats are broken, and there is no chance to fight back!
200,000 soldiers and civilians, many of whom fled from Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, to Yashan, for several years the Mongol soldiers surrounded and intercepted, and the last Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians were already physically and mentally exhausted, and there was no place to stand on the land, and it may be a relief to choose to jump into the sea and die for the country.
Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie are known as the "Three Heroes of the Late Song Dynasty", and the feats of the three are admirable, but the military talents of the three have been questioned by many people for so many years.
Many believed that they should have fled to Hainan Island, the only remaining territory of the Southern Song Dynasty at the time, where they continued to fight against the Mongols.
It is said that when the great prime minister inspected the work in Yashan, he said: "I think Lu Hidefu should not jump into the sea, he should lead his troops to the South Island of the Sea and the South Island, and he should lead the troops to Taiwan and the Bay, and set up a base there, and he can fight again." ”
History does not assume that in the Battle of Yashan, the national integrity of the Han people in a desperate situation, and the courage to do what they know they can't do, are impressive!
After the Battle of Yashan, Wang Li, the defender of the isolated city and Diaoyu City in Hezhou, who had been holding on for 36 years, saw that the general trend was gone, and Kublai Khan promised not to harm the people in the city, so he abandoned the city and surrendered.
After abandoning the city, except for the main general Wang Li, none of the other guards begged for mercy, and the other more than 30 Song army generals who defended the city all drew their swords and killed themselves, loyal to the martyrs!
History tells us that the Qionghai Strait could not stop the army, and the Song army had no foreign aid at that time, let alone the Seventh Fleet as a barrier.
The 13th century was destined to be the era when the Mongols swept across Eurasia, and this was an unsolvable dead end.
Who can unravel?
There is no way to change anyone, there is no solution!
Zhang Nan in the car was a little confused in his mind and thought a lot: the strongest shield in the 13th century met the sharpest spear the world had ever seen, and the Han people fought against the Mongol and Yuan armies of the Quansheng period for more than 50 years with a corner of strength, which is already extremely tenacious!
What other people can do that?
No!
It can't be said that the Southern Song Dynasty was defeated, it was just exhausted.
……
Fortunately, the Mongolian Tatars still wanted to govern the country by barbarism, and the backbone of the Han nation was not interrupted, otherwise the history of China is unimaginable!
At this point, Zhang Nan suddenly began to hate the Yuan Qinghua in his own collection.
It is comfortable to see Yuan Qinghua abroad, which will think about it after seeing the Southern Song Dynasty coin cellar, and even a little disgusted!
People are always emotional, and their preferences will be affected by emotions, and Zhang Nan, who is not confused when he reaches his age, is no exception.
is in a bad mood, and Yuan Qinghua is not pleasing to the eye!
"Everything must be hard with your own fists, otherwise everything will be in vain!"
China has a long history, history is the best teacher, and a small copper coin in his hand makes Zhang Nan think so much.
Prosperity cannot defeat barbarism and ignorance, and peace can only be guaranteed by great strength in the case of nations, and the same is true for individuals.
When he returned to the small street of the county seat, Zhang Nan felt that his strength was not strong enough, at least not so strong that no one dared to mess with him.
But there's no hurry, in the past few years, there have been opportunities to show their fangs in front of the world, so that those enemies who are secretly peeping at themselves are honestly nested!
I probably have to learn from Israel, the land is small and there are few people, but who dares to provoke?!
"In two years, I have to get a real national-level official identity in Africa, and the base area is very important!
Lao Mei is unreliable, even if Lao Tzu lives for another 80 years, he is still a Chinese in the United States, not the mainstream of society. ”
After thinking about it and determining the direction of future development again, I returned to my own courtyard by myself.
Continue to brush those "Hongwu Cellar" copper coins, which will look at the big "Hongwu Tongbao" mixed in them, and it will actually become more pleasing to the eye.
The old Zhu family did a good job.
In the evening, I went to the small restaurant at the corner of the street to eat, and as soon as I entered the door, I met Wang Deshun: I didn't want to be disturbed if I said I had nothing to do, but these people in my hometown would deliberately gather at this restaurant for dinner these days, and everyone let them know how the boss would eat here.
Since you're here, let's take a bite together.
Wang Deshun waited for Zhang Nan to sit down, and couldn't help but say: "Boss, we weighed the copper coins dug up today, that is, to remove the mud, which is almost a ton and a half."
I pulled them all back, and they all locked the small warehouse of the construction company first, and no one could take it away..."
Here Zhang Nan listened, took a sip of beer, stuffed two peanuts into his mouth, and then said: "You keep it, just don't let the ants move and end up losing it."
Keep it, and one day you'll get rich. ”
I didn't ask him how he would compensate the village, and his little bag foreman.
For many people, history cannot be eaten as a meal, but three meals a day is the key.
There is no food, and historians have to kneel.
Zhang Nan had good intentions, but he didn't say anything about his collection theory.
I didn't think that Wang Deshun didn't play cards according to the routine, smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Boss, I thought about a lot of things this afternoon."
When you think about what you said, you will be on fire when you jump into the sea, and many people don't seem to know it, and I can't say if it's in the school textbooks.
Let's see if you can do this, your private museum here in your hometown has already started, can you find a place in the museum to display the pile of copper coins dug up today?
Just put a piece of exhibition, I asked people to weld a base with a thick stainless steel plate, and then use explosion-proof glass to make a big box, put the copper money inside, and completely seal it!
If you can get in with the lights, you can see it clearly, and you don't have to worry about being led by someone.
The box can be moved casually with a forklift, and when the time comes, add some background introduction as materials, and let the people who see it know that there are some things.
When I was digging, I took a lot of these photos, and I thought that I could also start the educational significance. ”
Unexpectedly, this Wang Deshun thought of this.
The brothers who were engaged in engineering thought of history education, which was a bit of a big leap.
After listening to him, Zhang Nan smiled and said, "How do you want to write an introduction?"
Meng Yuan was brutal, slaughtered the city, the Han people fled in all directions, and were slaughtered everywhere?
Beware of putting on your big hat that hinders national unity!"
Wang Deshun was stunned for a moment, with a weird smile on his face, and said very imposingly: "Boss, I'll just be a small bag foreman, I'm afraid of a bird!"
Kind of came to arrest me, Lao Tzu collapsed him!"
Very imposing, even arrogant and domineering!
And then...
The style of painting changed, and some doglegs said: "Besides, boss, everything is yours, you are tall, isn't this all on your top..."
Zhang Nan didn't smile when he heard this, drank the beer in the cup in one gulp, and said: "The place is given, just follow your method, make a transparent cabinet that can't be knocked or opened."
According to the plan, there would have been a large number of cultural relics related to the Song and Yuan wars in that museum, and the pile of copper coins would be good as a foil.
There are so many museums, and there are really few that play like this. ”
How many museums are there in Huaxia?
No one has counted them, and even if they do, they can't figure out the exact numbers.
Traditional museums generally either arrange and classify cultural relics according to time, or classify and display them according to the category of cultural relics themselves, such as porcelain, bronze, calligraphy and painting, miscellaneous, and so on.
The museum built by Zhang Nan in his hometown is slightly different from the traditional museum in terms of the way the exhibits are displayed, and the timeline is classified in the same category, but many of them will also make a relatively detailed introduction in combination with the historical background of the items on display, which is lacking in many museums.
For example, those sea-fishing porcelain, when the time comes, will be arranged in accordance with the development of ancient maritime history, and a large number of introductions will be added to the background of each shipwreck and the background of the general environment at that time, rather than a simple introduction such as "Clawwa Sea Water Tangyue Kiln Pankou Pot".
The huge museum has already started, and the location is not in the county seat, but between Chongren Film and Television City and the ancient town, covering an area larger than the National Museum of China!
The volume is large enough, and it will not be completed until at least the end of next year.
As for the time to set up the exhibition, it will not be open to the public until the year after that.
A museum, dozens of fixed exhibition halls, and many temporary exhibition halls, there will be a lot of auxiliary facilities.
If you like history, you can stay all day without having to come out.
The exhibits are mainly cultural relics collected in China, and there will be a large number of Chinese cultural relics brought back from abroad that are regularly exhibited all year round, such as Hailao Yuan blue and white will occupy a huge exhibition hall.
The exhibition will be a huge project, and there will be a large number of archaeological, cultural relics, and historical experts across the country to help with the staff, and the workload of advance preparation will be huge.
Those temporary exhibition halls will not be empty, what folk art, as well as other domestic museums, foreign museums and cultural relics visit exhibitions, there will be exhibitions for months and months, and many large museums in China will do this.
I'm not afraid that no one will visit, combined with the tourism of the film and television city, among the tourists who go to the film and television city, Zhang Nan thinks that there will always be one-fifth to one-third of the museum to go around, and then the significance of building the museum will come out, and it will not be a cold accumulation there.
Don't expect it to make money, the museum can be self-financed, anyway, combined with a large number of tour groups, how can the museum support the past.
The number of high-grade cultural relics in China is absolutely amazing, and there are a huge number of foreign cultural relics, not to mention domestic and foreign tourists, Zhang Nan thinks that this foreign history expert will go a lot.
Zhang Nan has always believed that this museum is not only a simple way for people to see, but also a process of education and so on: looking for history, facing history, allowing visitors to face history, understand history, and remember history!
