The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 763 National Hero Ge Yunfei

【On March 1841, the 4st year of Daoguang’s reign (April 10, ), the British government received Elliot’s report on the Treaty of Chuenpi and believed that the rights and interests it had gained were too few. It decided to remove Elliot and replace him with Pottinger, a veteran colonialist who had invaded India, as the plenipotentiary representative for the invasion of China. It also appointed Baccarat as the commander-in-chief of the British army and naval commander in China, and dispatched more troops to China to further expand the war of aggression against China.】

[On June 8 (August 10), Pu Tingcha arrived in Macau and immediately sent a draft to the Guangdong authorities of the Qing Dynasty, claiming that if the Chinese government did not send a plenipotentiary representative to accept all the terms listed in the draft, he would lead his army north. Yishan sent Yu Baochun, the governor of Guangzhou, to negotiate, but was rejected.]

[On July 8 (August 21), Pottinger left six warships, two steamships, and more than soldiers in Hong Kong, and personally led ten warships, four steamships, transport ships, and more than soldiers to attack northward along the coast.]

[On the 25th (th), the British warships arrived at Qingyu Island south of Xiamen and anchored and assembled.]

[The next day, the British army launched a massive attack. The Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Yan Botao, led the general stationed in Kinmen, Jiang Jiyun, to command the Qing troops in Baishitou, Yuzaiwei, and Gulangyu, and cooperated with each other to resist from three sides.]

[At 1 p.m., the British army's left detachment concentrated on attacking Gulangyu Island, while the right detachment attacked the artillery batteries along the coast of Xiamen.]

[The Qing army fired back, but because the artillery could not turn left or right and could only fire straight ahead, the British warships were able to avoid the Qing army's artillery fire and rushed into the inner harbor, landing in sampans, and Gulangyu and other islands were lost one after another.]

[During the battle, General Jiang Jiyun and Deputy General Ling Zhi died, and the defenders suffered hundreds of casualties.]

【Yan Botao and others retreated from Xiamen to Tongan that night.】

[On the 27th (th), the British army invaded Xiamen, demolished and burned government offices and temples, and raped and looted.]

[On July 9 (September 4), the British troops withdrew from Xiamen.]

[The next day, three warships, three transport ships, and 500 soldiers continued to occupy Gulangyu Island, while the rest of the ships all sailed north to invade Dinghai.]

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di kept thinking about how he should fight.

But in the end, they had no choice but to discover that, given the armaments of both sides, the naval battle was bound to be lost no matter how it was fought.

The only possible way to win is hand-to-hand land combat.

And hand-to-hand combat...

At this moment, the chat group in my mind suddenly moved.

"Kangxi: Mian Ning, what time is it now where you are?"

……

Qing Dynasty, Daoguang Period
A ray of hope suddenly flashed in Daoguang's eyes, whose face was numb!
"Holy Ancestor! I... "

"Tip: The inventory is not finished yet, please speak after it is finished! "

"Oh your mother's head!"

When Daoguang saw these words, he felt dizzy and dark.

Then, the last string in my mind broke!

He was furious!
He picked up the vase! Then he put it down...

He picked up the inkstone...put it down...

He glanced around the hall.

He was so angry that he knelt down and pounded the ground!

"Lin Zexu has already gone to Humen!"

“It’s all coming!!!”

"You're still here?!"

"Oh what oh!"

……

The picture hanging high on the sky curtain circles around Dinghai City.

The city is surrounded by mountains on three sides.

The east of the city is called "Qingleitou"

To the northwest is Xiaofengling

At the foot of the mountain is Xiaozhu Mountain

There is a "Zhushan Gate" on the coast

Southeast of the city is Lanshan

The south of the city is "Daodu Mountain"

About three miles to the south is Wukui Mountain, which hangs alone in the sea.

……

[After the British troops that first invaded Dinghai withdrew on February 1841, 2 (February 24, ), the Qing court ordered Dinghai Town General Ge Yunfei, Shouchun Town General Wang Xipeng, and Chuzhou Town General Zheng Guohong to work together to defend Dinghai, and the total number of defenders gradually increased to more than .]

[In order to strengthen the defense, Ge Yunfei built a mud city about 1,400 feet long from Xiaozhu Mountain to Qingleitou, and set up Jiu'an Gate and Changzhi Gate. ]

【After signing the Guangzhou Peace Treaty, Emperor Daoguang believed that the "rebellion had been quelled" and asked all provinces to "dismiss the garrison troops as appropriate to save money." 】

【Wang Xipeng and Zheng Guohong were ordered to evacuate Dinghai.】

[At this time, news came that the British army had captured Xiamen and continued to invade the north. Generals Wang Xipeng and Zheng Guohong decided to report to the court and stay in Dinghai to fight the enemy together with Ge Yunfei.]

[Ge Yunfei reported to the Qing army's Zhenhai camp and requested the allocation of cannons to strengthen Dinghai's defense.]

【However, the Zhenhai Camp not only did not agree to Ge Yunfei's request, but also transferred all the ships of the Dinghai garrison to the camp, and ordered Ge Yunfei to "only kill the enemy on the shore and not to go out to sea to fight." 】

……

On the canopy

The three generals, dressed in battle robes, stood in front of the army.

On the earthen city wall, dragon flags flutter.

A general wearing mourning clothes over his battle robe stood in front of the team and swore an oath to the heavens:
"Even if the city dies, I will never leave Dinghai!"

Behind me, thousands of rough voices, shaking the sea and mountains, and echoing the moving clouds, merged into one sentence:

"Even if the city dies, I will never leave Dinghai!"

……

[On the morning of August 1841, the 9st year of Daoguang’s reign (September 26, ), British warships entered the Hengshuiyang waters miles away from Dinghai. Ge Yunfei gathered the troops and encouraged them to defend the country to the death, and swore that “the city will be destroyed and we will not leave Dinghai even a step.”]

[Under Ge Yunfei's command, the guard troops quickly entered the defense zone and were ready for battle. Ge Yunfei personally went to the front line and took command.]

[In the afternoon, the British warships suddenly turned into the Zhushanmen waterway. Ge Yunfei rushed to the front-line artillery position and personally fired cannons, hitting a British three-masted ship and killing more than ten enemies. The British were forced to retreat, and the first battle of the defense war was won.]

[In the early morning of the 27th (th), the British army entered Zhushanmen Port again. The defenders on the shore fought with the British army for eight or nine hours, killing more than enemies and forcing the British army to retreat again.]

[On the 28th (th), the British troops divided into two groups and attacked Zhushan Gate and Xiaofengling respectively.]

[The British troops attacking Zhushan Gate were ambushed by Zheng Guohong's troops, more than 300 of them were killed, and they fled in panic.]

[The British troops who attacked Xiaofengling were defeated because Wang Xipeng's troops were too poorly armed, and the area around Yancang at the northern foot of Xiaofengling was occupied by the British troops.]

[Ge Yunfei hurriedly sent people to the Zhenhai Camp to ask for the grant, but was rejected again.]

[On the 29th (th), the British army attacked Wukuishan Island and tried to establish a stronghold there, but was repelled by Ge Yunfei's artillery fire.]

[After that, the British army launched a series of attacks on the Zhushan Gate area of ​​Xiaofengling, but was repelled by the Qing army's counterattacks.]

……

{Can anyone tell me what the hell Zhenhai Camp is going to do!}

{The three generals sent a joint letter asking for help, but the Zhenhai Camp refused to provide assistance?}

{Zhejiang Admiral Yu Buyun was good at land warfare, but not at sea warfare. In the Battle of Dinghai, he refused to carry out the order of Liangjiang Governor Yu Qian to "respond to the situation", and sat back and refused to help the Dinghai defenders, and even slandered Ge Yunfei and others for exaggerating the enemy situation.}
{From the perspective of the military strength of Zhenhai Camp, it was actually smaller than that of Dinghai, with only 5,000 men. He might have been unwilling to send troops to support Zhenhai Camp in order to protect it, which might be the main reason for his refusal to rescue Dinghai.}
……

Qing Dynasty and Qianlong period
Qianlong felt like his brain was about to explode!

Don’t you understand that the lips and teeth are interdependent, you idiot!
If Dinghai is lost, can you save the Zhenhai Camp? !

"What kind of useless rotten wood are these..."

"...waste...all waste!"

The ministers bowed their heads and said nothing. Anyway, the emperor was not scolding them, so he could scold them whatever he wanted...

There's nothing I can do even if I scold myself.

Some ministers who are not very smart are still keeping a distance from the matter as it does not concern them.

Some smart people sensed a hint of impending storm.

……

On the canopy.

The frontal artillery on the earthen city became ineffective.

Ten miles of sea border, the sound of cannons shook the sky, the clouds of war surged, and the sounds of killing were everywhere.

The general in mourning clothes calmly supervised the battle on the top of the city.

At noon, the sound of artillery fire gradually died down.

He looked towards Zhushan Gate and Xiaofeng Ridge.

Slowly close your eyes.

The British army poured down from Zhumen Mountain towards Tucheng like a mountain torrent.

He suddenly opened his eyes and drew out the long sword from his waist!

"Good men, follow me and kill the bandits!"

The only 200 defenders on the city wall, each holding a sharp knife, shouted "Kill!"

Then, like a whirlwind, he followed the general and bravely rushed into the enemy group that was ten times larger than his own!
……

[At dawn on August 10 (October 1), the British army took advantage of the fatigue of the defending troops and the heavy fog, and under the cover of the Wukuishan artillery team, they forcibly landed in two columns on the left and right.]

[The left column landed in the area west of Daotougang to Zhushan, and attacked Zhushan and Xiaofengling. Wang Xipeng, who was in charge of the general support, divided his troops to support Zhushan Gate while personally leading the Qing army to save Xiaofengling.]

[The British army launched a series of attacks, and the Qing army used rifles and muskets to repel the enemy again and again. The rifles were so red that they could not fight anymore, so they had to fight with short weapons.]

【Wang Xipeng had one leg broken by enemy artillery fire, but he still insisted on fighting and finally died of exhaustion.】

[When the British soldiers found out that this was a general, they wielded their knives and hacked at his body frantically, chopping him into a mass of bloody flesh that looked unrecognizable as a human.]

[In the Zhushanmen area, Zheng Guohong was wounded twice by artillery fire, but he still led his troops to fight the enemy, and finally "killed several bandits with his own hands and died." ]

[The right column landed in the area east of Daotou to Lanshan, and encountered stubborn resistance from the Qing army led by Ge Yunfei.]

[After Zhushan Gate fell, part of the British troops on the left team advanced eastward along the earthen city and occupied the southern end of Lanshan Fort. Together with the warships anchored in Donggang and the artillery team on Wukui Mountain, they attacked Lanshan Fort from three sides.]

……

Swords flashed and weapons clashed.

There was a loud clanging sound.

The general who was rushing in the front saw the British leader coming towards him with a green flag in his hand and shouted loudly!
With a wave of his sword, he cut the man and the flagpole into two pieces.

The sharp knife broke into two pieces due to excessive force, and he quickly drew two swords from his waist, waving them and killing everyone.

When he reached Zhushan Gate, a sudden bullet hit his left eye.

At the same time, a British leader suddenly jumped down from the cliff, holding a long knife in his hand and chopped at his face.

The general raised his sword and swung it, and the long sword slashed from the right, cutting off half of his face, but he didn't even notice it.

The British leader was so shocked that he was stunned when he saw the general still swinging his knife at him with half of his face left.

At this moment, a British soldier carrying a cannon suddenly appeared from the side and fired a cannon at his back.

The solid iron cannonball shot into the general's back and out of his chest, leaving a bloody hole the size of a bowl, from which blood gushed out immediately.

The British soldiers who surrounded him stabbed him wildly with their spears.

The general was covered in blood, but he still stood on the cliff at the Zhushan Gate.

His hair and beard were standing on end, his eyes were as sharp as torches, and he held two swords high in his hands, as if he was still fighting.

……

[The left team attacked the Guanshan Fort from above. Ge Yunfei, who was guarding the Guanshan Fort, fought to the end, with only 200 people left by his side. "He led the troops to resist the enemy, holding short weapons and shouting forward, killing countless people." ]

[The British army was unable to take down the fort, and finally the right team came to support them, and the two sides were involved in a fierce hand-to-hand fight.]

[They attacked from left to right, and fought for two miles.]

[A British officer used a knife to "chop off half of his face, blood dripping everywhere". With only half of his face left, Ge Yunfei was still fighting desperately with his knife, and the British soldiers were so scared that they fled for their lives.]

[Finally, "the lead ball pierced through the Duke's back and came out from his chest, leaving a hole as big as a bowl. The Duke then stood on a cliff at the gate of Zhushan and died." After six days and nights of bloody fighting, Dinghai fell.]

[After Ge Yunfei's death, he was still standing on the cliff of Zhushan Gate, "holding a knife in his hand as if he was killing an enemy, his body standing upright, his left eye still blazing as if he were alive."]

……

{Ge Yunfei, also known by his courtesy name Pengqi, was born in Tianle Township, Shanyin (now part of Xiaoshan, Hangzhou).}
｛When I was young, I visited West Lake in Hangzhou and paid homage to Yue Fei’s tomb. I have always remembered Yue Fei’s famous saying: “If civil officials do not love money and military officials do not fear death, the world will be peaceful.” ｝
……

Period of Jihan and Emperor Huai

Liu Chan looked at the sky and said to Zhuge Liang:

"Yu Qian follows the example of Wen Tianxiang."

"Jiang Wei is following his father's example."

"Is this belief what my father, uncles, and prime minister pursue?"

Zhuge Liang understood Liu Chan's meaning and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, what do you think is the most important thing that our ancestors left for future generations?"

"Is it the blood? Is it the land? Or is it the way of benevolence and justice that is passed down in the world?"

"Everything in the world has its end."

“Only the word Tao can be used consistently.”

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan, and a white light flashed between his eyes.

"If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening."

……

{When Ge Yunfei was thirty years old, he passed the military examination and in the third year of Daoguang (1823) he passed the military examination and was promoted to Dinghai General due to his military merits. He guarded the southeastern coastal area for sixteen years}

{After the outbreak of the Opium War, he actively prepared for war in Dinghai and presided over the construction of a series of defensive fortifications such as the Guanshan Fort. Due to insufficient funds, he wrote to the court, requesting an advance of three years' salary to donate to defense funds.

｝

{In fact, he could have avoided this bloody battle. In the 1839th year of Emperor Daoguang's reign (), he returned to his hometown to mourn his father's death.}
{On the eve of the outbreak of the war, Ge Yunfei learned of the urgent military situation and immediately rushed to the Dinghai front.}
{Before leaving, he said goodbye to his mother, who only said one sentence: "It is time for you to serve your country, hurry to the front line!"}
{Ge Yunfei engraved "Zhao Yong" on one of the two swords passed down to him by his father, and "Cheng Zhong" on the other.}
{His mother dyed his mourning clothes black with her own hands and told him: "A loyal minister to the country is a filial son to the family!"}
{According to the "Lenglu Miscellaneous Notes", late at night on that day, Xu Bao, a local righteous man from Dinghai, braved the rain and went up the mountain to look for Ge Yunfei's body.}
{When they reached the Guanshan Fort, the rain stopped. In the moonlight, Xu Bao saw a scene that he would never forget. He saw Ge Yunfei "half of his face was standing on the cliff, holding the knife in both hands."}
{Xu Bao knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. It took him a long time to stand up. He carried Ge Yunfei's body on his back and took him home by ferry at night. When his mother, Mrs. Zhang, saw her son's body, she cried bitterly and said, "My son died a worthy death!"}
……

[The Second Battle of Dinghai was one of the most heroic battles of military and civilian resistance during the Opium War.]

[It was also the battle in the Opium War with the largest number of participants, the largest scale, the longest fighting time, and the heaviest casualties.]

【Generals Ge Yunfei, Wang Xipeng, and Zheng Guohong died on the same day, and none of the 5,800 defenders under their command defected or surrendered.】

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Huo Qubing felt very uncomfortable.

"…The country is in chaos…there are loyal ministers…"

Liu Che was distracted for a moment when he looked at Ge Yunfei's calligraphy.

"Yue Fei..."

The soldiers sacrificed their lives and their loyal souls remain.

The Zhushan Gate eventually became a collective tomb for unknown soldiers who died in battle.
