The Battle of Majiang in Guoxing's memory ended completely after the French army completely annihilated the Fujian Naval Division and the Fujian Green Camp Naval Division, and then approached the fort and destroyed the Mawei Shipyard. However, the original appearance of history was not like this, the battle continued, and the two armies fought fiercely for nearly two days before the French army retreated to Penghu. The reason why the next two days are rarely mentioned in history is because the opponents of the French army have become some very unusual people, and their appearance has embarrassed everyone.

The Majiang Naval Battle in the ninth year of Zhongzheng is basically the same as the Majiang Naval Battle in the tenth year of Guangxu, except that the power of the Majiang batteries has been greatly increased due to the appearance of Manchurian coastal defense artillery, everything is exactly the same as the history of another time and space. Because everything is the same, those embarrassing guys will still appear, write gorgeous chapters with their own blood, and then be deliberately ignored and forgotten.

In the thirteenth year of Kangxi, Geng Jingzhong of Fuzhou rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and Prince Kang was ordered to lead the main force of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners to fight in Fujian. In the seventh year of Yongzheng, the Zhenmin general Alsai asked the imperial court to set up one of the four major coastal water divisions directly under the imperial court - Fuzhou Sanjiangkou Water Division Banner Camp in the Qinjiang River, where Changle Taiping Port intersects with Mawei. Emperor Yongzheng sent the southern general Lai Ta to select 513 Eight Banner soldiers from the Han army of the four banners of Liaodong Tieling, Liaoyang, etc., which were inlaid with yellow, white, inlaid white and blue from the old four banners of Liaodong to Beijing, and stationed in Qinjiang with their dependents. This is the earliest and only Eight Banners Sailor Battalion in Fujian.

In its heyday, the Sanjiangkou Naval Division Banner Battalion had 129 surnames and more than 4,000 officers and soldiers and their dependents. This group of soldiers of the Eight Banners, who are far away from their hometowns in the Northeast, take Yongzhengye's belief that "people from the Banner should know about water affairs", serve the country loyally, and train elite soldiers. As the so-called "Eight Banners disciples are good at breaking the enemy's bow and knife, and if there are many ships on the sea, who is the Wu people?" The water military skills of the Eight Banners are not weaker than those of the Green Battalion Sailors, and they have repeatedly performed well in the battle to suppress the uprising of Lin Shuangwen in Taiwan and exterminate the pirate Cai Lian.

After the French ships invaded Mawei Harbor this time, Fuzhou General Mu Tushan, the supreme commander of the Eight Banners of Fujian Province, personally went to the front line to command. Although he also listened to the advice of He Jing, Zhang Peilun and others to avoid the war, he still made some preparations in private. Mu Tushan transferred the officers and men of the left wing of the flag battalion of the Sanjiangkou Naval Division, except for some of the defenders, the rest went to Min'an to defend in eight-oared boats, and all the officers and men of the right wing were ordered to garrison Xiatang Village near Changmen at the mouth of the Minjiang River, so as to defend the forts in various places. Huang Enlu, the assistant leader, was transferred to the commander of the Jiezi battalion, and ordered all units to attack the enemy ships as best they could. The arrangement is not bad, but unfortunately there is another sentence at the end - "no first".

After the Battle of Majiang began, the flagmen of the flag battalion of the Sanjiangkou Navy Division used all the ships they could collect, and rushed to the French ships as soon as possible. However, they are a group of forgotten people, and their equipment has not been updated since the army was formed two hundred years ago, so they can only row eight oars to go to war. The so-called eight-oared boat is a small boat driven by eight wooden oars, rowed entirely by manpower. When the Fujian sailors fought bloodily, the flagmen were paddling, and when the blood of the Green Camp sailors was sprinkled on the Majiang River, they were still paddling.

By the time the bannermen, who had advanced purely by manpower, arrived near the French army, the French had already aimed their guns at the Mawei shipyard. The flagmen rode old wooden-hulled boats, rowing and charging at the French ships with waist knives, bows and arrows, rattan cards, earthen guns, earthen cannons, and dilapidated anti-aircraft guns. They wanted to kill the enemy bravely, but after the French machine guns swept over, they could only suffer heavy casualties. The antique-like wooden-hulled warships were sunk one after another, and dozens of people were killed on the spot, but the rest of the soldiers did not give up, they abandoned the boats and swam ashore, and set up cannons on the small hills on the shore to return fire. Even if they never hit the enemy, even if the enemy's inadvertent shot could send them flying with flesh and blood, these bannermen continued to fight, even if the battle was tantamount to slaughter to them.

After the Mawei shipyard was in ruins, the French army finally retreated, and the bannermen, who were more than half killed and wounded, finally had a chance to breathe. But the flagmen can't rest, they have to collect weapons. The earthen guns and old cannons in their hands are simply not enough for the French, and they urgently need a batch of weapons that can compete with the French. The Mawei Shipyard is also the station of the Fujian Naval Division, and there must be guns used by the sailors in this ruin, and the bannermen must go and pick up a little back, in case they can be used, they can also die a little meaning.

Searching for weapons and helping to carry the wounded, the bannermen were busy until midnight before they really had a chance to rest. But they couldn't sleep after setting up the camp just now, and there was a lot of noise on the Ma River, and a bloody battle began again. The bravery of the Fujianese was not trivial, and they would not sit idly by and watch the French do whatever they wanted in their own homes, and the residents along the river spontaneously drove fishing boats and salt boats to attack the French ships. They had no weapons, except for some picked-ups, only grass and oil, and the fearless people launched a fire attack on the French fleet. Throughout the night, the fire up and down the Majiang River soared into the sky, thunder and cannon sounded continuously, and countless hot-blooded sons and daughters sacrificed on the river surface of their own homes.

"Sleep!" Looking at the people fighting bloodily on the river, the flagmen forced themselves to close their eyes, and the only thing they could do now without ships was to sleep well.

After a very painful sleep, Qiding's eyes were full of broken wood and floating corpses floating on the river, and the people let out a final roar with their lives, and Fuzhou would never give in. Then the bannermen waited for their enemy, and the French army took advantage of the high tide to attack the forts along the river, as if they wanted to break through the forts and take Fuzhou directly. After the flagmen resisted in the mountains and forests, and the guns they picked up were scrapped, they picked up the bows, arrows, and swords left by their ancestors, and the Fort Hill, Yuanshan Fort, Liyushan Fort, and the other bank battery also opened fire on the enemy ships, and the French army could not land for a long time, so they could only leave in a huff. However, the officers and soldiers on the left wing of the banner battalion have also been killed by two-thirds, and all the six sons of the Ma family have been killed in battle, and they have been heirs ever since.

The French army was stationed overnight, but there was really no way to take the fort, and they were worried that they would be sealed in the harbor, so they could only retreat to the mouth of the Minjiang River in the open sea. The Qing army along the river from east to west, there were Hujiang Fort, Huangxiazhai Fort, Changmenshan Fort, Jinpai Fort, Min'an Fort, Nan'an Fort, Nanban Fort, Tianluowan Fort, Yuanshan Fort, Qinjiang Fort, Luoxing Fort and Majieshan Fort, and other eleven forts. But at this time, some people who should not have come back have returned, and some orders that should not have been given have also been passed on to the officers and soldiers.

After the battle began, he was so frightened that he fainted to the ground, Zhang Peilun, who was picked up and fled for his life by his entourage, came back, Zhang Zhaodong, who fled in a hurry, also returned, and He Jing and He Ruzhang, who had not been seen, also flashed in front of people again. But these big men did not come back to preside over the battle, they ordered the various departments to cease fire. In the eyes of these masters, the French army has stopped attacking, and the Qing army naturally cannot attack the French army anymore, so the bloody battle of Majiang can be diluted into a small conflict, and everyone can continue to negotiate peace.

Supervise the ministers and ministers, let's talk about it, sentence by sentence, focusing on the overall situation, and everyone can only stop fighting. However, the French did not give much face to the civil officials, although they sailed downstream and wanted to leave the Minjiang River, but they did not cease fire at all, bombarding the forts on both sides of the strait one after another, and even letting go of the houses. Mu Tushan, who was guarding the Nagato Fort, asked to attack the French ships several times, but what he got was an even more bizarre order: "The French ships have not opened fire to attack, and each battery must not take the initiative to attack the French ships!" ”。 The French army swaggered and bombarded the Qing army in the Min River, but the Qing army had to let the French do it first, and this kind of bastard order was enough to anger the living.

"There will be no disapproval of the king's life outside! In addition, the marshal is a general of Fuzhou, and he takes care of his own military affairs, so how can he be subject to the governor and the shipmaster! If it weren't for Zhang Peilun's constraints and He Jing's fear, Lone would have already buried Ma Jiang's bones! "The commander of the Jiesheng battalion took Huang Enlu to take the lead, and Wang Desheng, the commander of the Lu battalion, and a large number of other generals found Mu Tushan, and they were all unconvinced!

"When you see an enemy ship, attack it with all your might!" Mu Tushan thought about it, why did he listen to these civil officials? I am a banner man, and my predecessors are all self-reliant, so why did I become a subordinate of the governor, and I have to do it first in order to be angry.

The Lone Fleet in the Majiang River had not yet set off, but the French ship Inspector Calison Nière, which was receiving from the outside world, came to the door first, intending to break into the Minjiang River to meet the Lone Fleet. Huang Enlu, a sixty-six-year-old veteran who had endured for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore and directly ordered the cannon to be fired. Li Quanshou, the sentry officer of the Jiesheng battalion, took the lead and personally operated the cannon and began to fire at the French ship. The two sides fought fiercely for more than 20 minutes, and after the Jiesheng battalion killed more than 30 people, the French ship Jianjiali Sonnier could not withstand the artillery fire and left with fierce injuries.

In the evening of the same day, the French lone fleet sailed over and sent small boats to transport infantry to land, intending to capture the Nagato battery. The Changmen Fort is connected to the left of the head of the city, the right is connected to the Jiaowei, the front control of the gold medal Hujiang, the back pillow of the Daping Dongdai, the five tigers row the teeth, the two turtles guard the mouth, Xun is the natural guarantee. If the French army wants to withdraw from the Minjiang River safely, they must first occupy or delay the Changmen Fort, otherwise they will be very happy on their way home.

With Huang Enlu's precedent, everyone has nothing to scruple about, and Fuzhou General Mu Tushan personally led the third battalion of the Eight Banners Foreign Gun Team and the Eight Banners Army Battalion led by Wang Desheng to fight. Under the cover of batteries and naval guns, the two sides waged a bloody battle for four days and nights on the Changmen beachhead, and the flag battalion was backward in weapons and insufficient training, and was always at a disadvantage, and Li Lian'an, Li Quanshou, Yang Changkun, Zhang Shisan, and other athletes were all martyred. Mutushan could only launch a counterattack under the disadvantage, but he did not want to have an unexpected gain, sinking one French Ubo ship in one fell swoop, capturing two artillery pieces, and landing three boats, driving all the French troops back to the sea. However, the French still rushed out with artillery fire and retreated to Dinghai Bay like a wind.

In this battle, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners were killed, and more than 100 people were killed in the Sanjiangkou Water Division Banner Battalion alone, so there were nearly 100 heirs. It's a pity that for various reasons, they have gradually been forgotten, people only remember the struggle of the Fujian sailors, but they have forgotten these Eight Banners athletes who are also blood-spilled on the battlefield, they are actually Han people, Han people under their banner.

With the retreat of the French army, the Battle of Majiang came to an end, and the news of the fiasco reached Beijing and Changchun, and Cixi and Guo Xing'a overturned the table in front of them almost simultaneously.
