Chapter 1669: Feelings by the Han River
The Han River is one of the major rivers in the peninsula, originating from the Wutai Mountain at the western foot of the Taebaek Mountains, with a total length of more than 500 kilometers, flowing through Seoul and confluence with the Imjin River and flowing into Ganghwa Bay. Koreans regard the Han River as the mother river, just as the Chinese are to the Yellow River. The Han River flows through Seoul for more than 60 kilometers, and the river is wide, and the narrowest part is nearly 1,000 meters. In a highly modern metropolis, a large river is its best embellishment, and it is also a gift from nature. Any city near the river will dress up this gift from heaven beautifully.
After decades of development, Seoul, which was in ruins during the Korean War, has become a highly modern city, and the banks of the Han River have also become famous tourist areas. There are many famous spots along the Han River, such as the 63 Building, the National Assembly Building, the Han River Bridge, and the Musical Fountain.
There is a bicycle lane in Hangang Citizen Park, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Han River by bicycle.
At night, the neon lights on both sides of the Han River and the lights of passing vehicles decorate the night view of the Citizen Park. The murmuring river is even more touching against this beautiful night scene. In the evening breeze, you can see the beautiful scenery along the Han River.
"Don't really say it, the night view of Seoul is very beautiful," when he accompanied Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing to the edge of the Han River, Luo Ziling couldn't help but sigh: "Although the Koreans are a bit despicable, their construction achievements are still quite good." ”
"This is the second time I've come to Seoul," Yang Qingyin straightened her long hair that was blown away by the wind, and said with a smile, "The last time my mother brought me and Aoba together, we were only in junior high school at that time. Many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and everything has become strange. ”
"It's the first time for our sister and brother," Luo Yuqing grabbed Luo Ziling's arm and looked at the night scene, "It's really good, I want to take a few photos and send them to Moments to prove that I have been here." ”
"Speaking of coming to Seoul, I thought of an interesting story," Luo Ziling pulled Yang Qingyin, let the two women snuggle up to him, and then said in a cheerful tone: "Once when my grandfather told me about things, he said that he saw a tune on the Internet, a very old Chinese came to South Korea for tourism, because he didn't know what to do with customs clearance procedures, and was reprimanded by the Koreans, and told him that when he came to South Korea for the first time, he must abide by the laws of the Korean side and don't embarrass the Chinese people. He got angry and immediately ridiculed him, saying that it was not the first time he had come, but he had come before, and he didn't need a visa, and he drove swaggeringly, and no one dared to stop them. ”
Hearing Luo Ziling say this, the two girls looked at him curiously, wanting to hear what the result would be.
The Koreans were surprised, and said how could they not have a visa, and drove here with a swagger. The old man said that he was driving a tank car, and when he drove the tank car into the downtown area of Seoul, both the Korean army and the Mi army fled. Speaking of this, Luo Ziling laughed: "In the fifties, our heroic volunteers hit the 37th parallel and occupied Seoul, at that time, no one dared to make things difficult for them, and no one asked them for visas and asked them to abide by the laws of the Korean side. Coming in a tank, how domineering, hahahahaha!"
"Guess that's what happened. Yang Qingyin looked at Luo Ziling with a smile, "Actually, your grandfather participated in the war to aid Korea, and he also came to Seoul. ”
"I heard my mother talk about my grandfather's past, and when he founded the country, he should have been a regiment commander. In the later stage of the Korean War, he was the deputy division commander, and he personally participated in the command of the battle against Seoul that year, as if it was the team he led that first attacked Seoul. ”
Ling Ruonan also told him that Ling Jinhua told her that when they led the army to capture Seoul, Li Qiwei, the commander of the coalition forces, left a sentence on the wall of his office: "Commander of the Eighth Army of the United States, I would like to greet the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army", which was a little provocative in his polite greeting. When Ling Jinhua saw these words, he was very angry and vowed to capture Li Qiwei alive.
It's a pity that later the Volunteer Army had to abandon Seoul because of logistical supply problems.
When he said this, Luo Ziling stopped and looked at the scenery of the Han River in front of him.
He clearly knew that although the Chinese army occupied and ruled the peninsula many times in history, the Chinese army camped in Seoul, and the time in the fifties of the last century may be the last time. In the future, there may not be such an opportunity.
In fact, since ancient times, the entire peninsula of Liaodong is the territory of China, and the Han Dynasty set up four counties in Liaodong, and completely incorporated the land of North and South Korea into the rule of the Han Dynasty; during the Tang Dynasty, Su Dingfang led more than 100,000 horses to cross the sea to fight, and destroyed Baekje, and then the Tang army destroyed Goryeo and forced Silla to submit, and successively set up the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Jilin Prefecture Governor's Mansion on this peninsula.
The seat of the Andong Prefecture was in Pyongyang.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty had garrisoned troops on the peninsula.
It's a pity that all the glory of history has become the past and a piece of history. The influence of Huaxia can no longer be so great, the grand occasion of Siyi's submission will never appear again, and all the glory has become a thing of the past. Nostalgia for the past, everything can only sigh and sigh.
Seeing that Luo Ziling suddenly became silent, Luo Yuqing looked surprised.
"Ziling, what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking," Luo Ziling let out a long sigh, "During the Tang Dynasty, Su Dingfang led more than 100,000 horses across the sea to expedition to Baekje, and finally destroyed his country and captured his king Fuyu Yici, and the whole process only lasted ten days. At that time, the Han people were the super masters of this land, and no one could compete with the Celestial Empire. More than 60 years ago, we set foot here, and our troops were stationed here, but now we can only stand here as tourists and enjoy the scenery. Thinking of the strength and glory of the past, it can't help but make people sad. ”
"yes, it's sad. Yang Qingyin nodded.
She fully understood Luo Ziling's thoughts at this time, and she herself was a little sad.
Many tourists who go to Vladivostok, Russia, also have this feeling when they see the Ming Dynasty monuments left there and see the Chinese characters on the monuments--- they also have a heavy sense of loss.
Luo Yuqing, who didn't know much about history, couldn't help but be dumbfounded when she heard Luo Ziling say this: "You won't lie to me, will you? During the Tang Dynasty, 100,000 horses could cross the sea to fight? Destroy a country within 10 days? You are not making up history blindly, are you? Now the Huaxia Navy wants to send 100,000 people overseas, and it is not so easy, right? During the Tang Dynasty, the navigation technology was much more backward than it is now, and there were no large-tonnage warships, how could they cross the sea and throw more than 100,000 troops to the other side of the strait?"
"Go back and take a good look at the history books," Luo Ziling was a little annoyed, "You can ask Qing Yin if there is such a thing!"
Luo Yuqing looked at Yang Qingyin, still looking unconvinced.
Most girls don't like history and don't know much about it, and they don't necessarily know about events that are not recorded in detail in history textbooks--- unless they are girls like Yang Qingyin, who are majoring in history.
"All that Ziling said are real historical events, which is indeed amazing," Yang Qingyin smiled, "Su Dingfang did lead an army of more than 100,000 to cross the sea to attack Baekje, and it only took ten days to destroy the Baekje Kingdom and capture its king." It seems that Liu Renliang, who defeated the Japanese army in the waters near Baijiang Village, was dismissed from his post in this battle because the sea ship carrying supplies capsized, and then joined the army as a white body, made military achievements, and finally became the prime minister. The Tang army before the beginning of the Tang Dynasty was indeed an invincible existence in the world, much more powerful than the current army of the United States. At that time, it was really a person who committed me a strong man, although he was far away, he would be punished. Gaochang State just blocked the tributary road of other countries, Li Shimin was angry, so he let Hou Junji lead the army to attack, Hou Junji led the army through the desert, unexpectedly appeared under the city of Gaochang, and scared the king of Gaochang Ju Wentai to death. Yes, Ju Wentai was scared to death by the Tang Army that suddenly appeared. These are not myths and legends, but real history. At that time, more than 25,000 Tang Anxi troops, able to subdue nearly 4 million square kilometers of Anxi Protectorate, Su Dingfang, who was mentioned by Ziling just now, led the army to destroy the three kingdoms of Baekje, Western Turks, and Green Ridge, and made outstanding achievements, but there were not many people who knew his reputation in later generations, mainly because there were too many famous generals at that time. By the way, that is, when this Su Dingfang led the army to quell the Western Turkic rebellion, the 10,000 cavalry, infantry and cavalry he led, a mixture of infantry and cavalry, were surrounded by the 100,000 cavalry of the Western Turk leader Ashina Helu. ”
"What happened?" Luo Yuqing, a historical idiot, was also intrigued.
Ashina Helu fled with only thirty-six horsemen and was eventually captured alive. Luo Ziling said the answer for Yang Qingyin.
"Ahh Luo Yuqing was dumbfounded, looking incredulous.
Seeing that Luo Yuqing was dumbfounded, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin looked at each other and smiled.
When they talk about these things, they feel that they have a lot of common feelings and have the same resonance.
Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why Luo Ziling feels many times better about Yang Qingyin than he feels about Ouyang Feifei.
