At that time, Chen Guojun asked his subordinates to plant wooden stakes with iron tips in the Baiteng River and cover them with grass. When the tide was high that day, the Vietnamese army took the initiative to attack and pretended to fail and retreated, and the Yuan army caught up with the low tide when pursuing, and the warship was blocked by wooden stakes and could not move, and was attacked by the Vietnamese naval army, with heavy casualties. When the reinforcements of the Yuan army arrived, they were attacked by the Vietnamese ambushes on both sides of the strait, and the tide receded sharply, and the grain ship of the Yuan army encountered the iron-tipped wooden stakes buried by the Vietnamese army first and sank, and many soldiers drowned, which eventually led to a crushing defeat.

This time, Sun Hui expected in advance that Chen Guojun, who had already mastered the military and political power of Jiaozhi, was likely to use this trick to deal with the Song army, so he asked Xiao Tiantian and Wang Linlin to dispatch in advance, broke this threatening wooden pile array, and also used these wooden piles to build a trestle bridge.

"So that's the case, we haven't heard of this, Brother Sun, you are amazing." Wang Linlin said with admiration.

"Your brother Sun knows too much." Ye Chuchu smiled slightly.

"Their naval army is vulnerable, and the army is not good, the next step is to go straight to Huanglong and defeat their national capital, right?" Wang Linlin asked.

"It's not that easy." Ye Chuchu shook his head and said, "They love to play the people's war, even if they arrest the two emperors, the resistance below will not stop easily." This battle is actually not very easy to fight. Three times in history, the Mongols have failed to defeat Vietnam. ”

Sun Hui, who is familiar with history, knows that Ye Chuchu is telling the truth, when the Mongolian iron cavalry swept across the Eurasian continent, Jin, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Muscovy were all wiped out by the Mongol Empire. However, the invincible Mongol army suffered defeat in tiny Vietnam. After Kublai Khan's death, the Mongol armies were never able to enter Vietnam again.

Why did the same region and similar culture not lead to exactly the same outcome of the Anti-Japanese War?

In ancient times, Vietnam was closer to China than Japan was – either a vassal state of China or a part of China. There are many similarities and differences between the cultures of the two countries, and the main culture of Vietnam is also deeply influenced by Confucian culture. However, the same region and similar culture have not contributed to the exact same folk customs. Throughout history, the folk customs of Vietnam and Japan are obviously stronger than those of China.

As we all know, the Confucian culture of advocating "benevolence, righteousness, morality" and "respecting literature and suppressing martial arts" is on the soft side. Although influenced by 2,000 years of Confucian culture, Japan and Vietnam still retain their national traditions of being strong, martial, and full of resistance for a long time. So, how is this folk tradition formed and preserved?

This is actually related to their living environment and unique cultural background.

In terms of living environment, although Japan and Vietnam are not "steppe tribes", due to their unique geographical location, the struggle for survival is no less fierce than that of the steppe tribes.

Due to the frequent wars and internal and external disputes in the long historical period, the history of these countries has never dissipated, and it is almost a history full of wars, which has also created many famous combat heroes in history. They have a special reverence for the heroes of history who are brave and good at fighting. As a result, a unique "samurai culture" and "fighting culture" were formed.

For example, the anti-Mongolian hero "King Xingdao" Chen Guojun has been praised as a national hero by later generations of Vietnamese, and there are temples and sacrifices in the north and south of Vietnam, and incense has been burning for thousands of years. This is evident in the Vietnamese people's worship of heroes and the traditional atmosphere of hero culture.

Sun Hui remembers that a modern Vietnamese historian once said: "The tradition of the Vietnamese nation has always been that all the people are soldiers. Farmers working in the fields can go to battle as soon as they need to carry a gun. "In life, they are ordinary people who are polite and modest, and on the battlefield, they are absolutely terrible and difficult soldiers.

The characteristics of the War of Resistance and the Nation's War of Resistance - Japan and Vietnam are similar to those of the cavalry of the "steppe tribes". It can even be said that their folk customs are equivalent to the "steppe tribes" in the East.

Looking back at the past history, the reason why the national spirit of Japan and Vietnam has not been "softened" and maintained "strong folk customs" in the soft "Confucian cultural circle" is that the "Confucian culture" has a great influence on their upper strata and has little influence on the lower people. Second, because the situation of the whole country is compelled, the idea of "pragmatism" is far greater than that of Confucianism. The unique geographical location and internal and external situation, coupled with the iron-blooded samurai hero culture, made Japan, Vietnam and other countries "stand alone" under the iron cavalry of the Mongol army. Therefore, they more and more admired the samurai culture and heroic culture, and took pride in the folk customs of "fierce and good at fighting", until it became the survival instinct in the harsh living environment.
