How did the 3000 iron-blooded militia in the Southern Song Dynasty rescue Xiangfan?
Kublai Khan (Yuan Shizu) ascended the throne. After several years of fierce fighting, he defeated the conservative forces among the Mongolian nobles headed by Ali Buge, and then turned to the Southern Song Dynasty. He adopted Liu Zheng's suggestion that attacking the Southern Song Dynasty must first take the item and the model, and actively planned the siege item and the model. In A.D. 1263, he sent messengers to bribe Lv Wende, the messenger of Jinghu Lake in the Southern Song Dynasty, to set up a monopoly market outside Fancheng, and to build earth walls and fortresses on the pretext of protecting goods, and set up a preliminary stronghold in the suburbs of Xiangfan. In the winter of A.D. 1267, soldiers from all walks of life were recruited, and General Arjun and Liu Zheng, commander of the Southern Song Dynasty, were sent to govern Xiangyang. In A.D. 1268, they built cities in Lumen Mountain and Baihekou successively, and built platforms in the middle of Hanshui River, which blocked the road of rescuing Xiang and Fan from the downstream in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the spring of A.D. 1269, the minister Shi and Fu Mahu led reinforcements from all walks of life to meet Xiang and Fan to plan for the commander in chief. Build a long fence, from Wanshan to Baizhang Mountain, so that the north and south are not connected. Fanshan Mountain and Hutou Mountain are also built as a word city, connecting old castles. ?
AD 1270 again? Build a mountain to break its west, build a fence to fill the beach to break its east? . After 78 years of operation, the encirclement of Xiangfan has been tightened from both land and water. Xiangfan road naturally goes out, and food aid does not continue? . Contrary to the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, Jia Sidao, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, tried to whitewash Taiping. Xiangfan, an extremely important strategic place, has never seriously considered the seriousness of the situation and the overall situation, nor has it organized a truly effective direct rescue.
In July (A.D. 1269), Xia Gui, the deputy envoy of Du Zong Xianchun, attacked the new city built by the Yuan army, and was defeated by Yuan, and fifty warships sank in the river. Fan, deputy commander in front of the temple? With the help of the boatman, go to Guanzi Beach? , also defeated by the yuan army, fan? Escape by canoe? . In the sixth year of Xianchun (A.D. 1270), he became the commander-in-chief of Jinghu Lake, and led the army to aid Xiang and Fan. Jia Sidao ordered Fan to contain him, so he withdrew. Song Duzong gave Fan an imperial edict and ordered him? In front of the presidential palace, the two armies of Huai River and Huai River were deployed to prepare for defense. And then what? To the writer1500,000? . Fan was helpless and joined the army twice in April and June in the seventh year of Xianchun (A.D. 127 1). As a result, the first defeat was in the rapids, and the second defeat was in lumens, and neither of them approached Xiang and Fan's city. Especially the second time, Fan led 100,000 crew members, but was defeated and abandoned because of his poor fear of the enemy and poor command? Battleship, invincible in World War I? .
It was in the case that the siege of Xiang and Fan by the Yuan Army became more and more successful that Fan and others lost their teachers again and again in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was almost impossible to rescue Xiang and Fan. With great courage, 3,000 militiamen, led by Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui, reached Xiangyang City, which had been eager for reinforcements for a long time, from deus ex in the iron drum of the Yuan Army.
The reason why this militia is brave and good at fighting is because they come from the front line of Xishan District in Xiangyong and have been through war. As soon as they got rid of the intrusion of 8 jin j nomads from the army, they were wiped out by the yuan army. They are eager to live a stable life without border troubles and have always hated the invaders. At present, Xiang and Fancheng soldiers and civilians have been sticking to the city for a long time, attracting a large number of Yuan troops there, which has hampered their efforts to continue southward. Item, should be three thousand militia led by Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui in Xishan District, naturally have the desire to defend the countryside, rescue Item and Fan, and beat off the Yuan Army. Under the call of Jinghu emissary, they saved Xiang and Fan with mortal determination.
In the eighth year of Xianchun (A.D. 1272), the Jinghu envoy who stationed troops in Yunzhou learned that there was a river in the northwest of Xiangyang, which originated from Jun and Fang, that is, a neutral country was built in Sheung Shui Valley, and 100 canoes were built. Mifune was merged into one boat, and the Chinese boats were full. The left and right ships are disguised bottomless ships with neutral flags. There is a reward for recruiting death squads and rewarding 3,000 militiamen. Led by Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui.
These two heroes are farmers, and they have their own nicknames with strong local flavor. What is Zhang Gui's name? Short? , Zhang Shun's name? Zhu Yuanzhang? . They were appointed as leaders. Before leaving, Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui said to the militiamen. There is only death in this trip. Your generation is not your own heart. Hurry up and don't let me down! ? After hearing this, the militia was very moved and prepared to fight to the end. The Hanshui River just rose in May, 100 canoes set out. On average, each ship carries 30 militiamen, a bag of salt, 200 pieces of cloth and other materials. On the 22nd, I entered the foot of Tuanshan Mountain. Two days later, I entered Gaotou Port and arranged the boats in a square. Each ship is equipped with a musket, cannon, burning charcoal, axe and crossbow. At three o'clock in the morning, leave the port and leave the river, with the red light as the signal. With Zhang Gui's boat as the front and Zhang Shun's boat as the back, they braved the wind and waves and headed for the encirclement of the Yuan Army. At that time, on Mohong Beach of Hanshui River, the river was covered with ships of the Yuan Army, so there was no gap.
Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui led three thousand militiamen to take advantage of the situation and cut off hundreds of chains and wooden pillows in advance. When the Yuan Army fought, people near the fleet led by Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui all jumped into the bottomless boat, and many Yuan troops drowned in the water. The militia led by Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui fought in 120, and they were invincible. In the early morning of 25th, they arrived at Xiangyang at the gates. Xiangyang city has been out of aid for a long time, and the soldiers and civilians in the city have heard of the arrival of reinforcements, and everyone is enthusiastic and courageous. But when the militia counted the number of people, only the main commander, Zhang Shun, was missing. A few days later, Zhang Shun's body was floating in the Hanshui River, with four shots and six arrows in his body, but he still had a bow and arrow in his hand and a scowl on his face. He died heroically in the bloody battle that rushed into the tight encirclement.
After Zhang Gui and other militiamen entered Xiangyang in May, they fought side by side with the original soldiers and civilians guarding the city and fought fiercely with the Yuan Army for more than two months. In July, Zhang Gui proposed to contact Yunzhou (now Zhongxiang, Hubei) for reinforcements. According to Zhao Zhonglu, it is extremely difficult to get in touch with Yunzhou? Biography of Zhang Gui: At that time, the siege and blockade of the Yuan Army were very strict. Lumen waterway chain dozens of miles, dotted, although fish and shrimp are not suitable? . Zhang Gui found two brave men from the militia who could risk their lives to accomplish this important task. The two of them? Can you stay underwater for a few days without eating? . Zhang Gui wants them? Take the wax book and ask for help. ? The two left Xiangyang and entered the water. In the water? Saw it off when I met Toona sinensis and iron fence, but it was as bad as it could be.
After completing the task, the two warriors returned to Xiangyang and reported: Fan? Xu Fabing 5,000 troops stationed in Longweizhou? . Zhang Gui and other agreed date arrived, that is, bid farewell to the militia led by Lu and disembark from the ship owner. When Zhang Gui boarded the ship to inspect the militia he led, only one person who was punished for making a mistake on the first day disappeared. Zhang Gui surprised sun:? My business is leaking! In a hurry, he may not know? . Unable to restore the hidden traces of imperial chess pieces, we can only raise our guns and make noise, break through the downstream wall at night and rush forward, which is easy for everyone. It is dangerous, it is dark in the middle of the night. When we arrived in the small new town, tens of thousands of yuan troops invited us to attack and vowed not to fight. The coastal areas were set on fire, and the candlelight was like day? .
When I arrived at Zhu Lin Beach, not far from the appointed meeting place, I saw the flags of warships moored in Longweizhou. Zhang Gui and other militiamen cheered and gave a contact signal? Meteor fire? Contact. Did you see the military ship parked in Longweizhou? Meteor fire? That is, we set sail to meet Zhang Guichuan. When the two fleets were very close, we saw that the ships from Longweizhou were all military ships of the Yuan Army. Why is it a warship of the Yuan Army? According to Zhao Zhonglu? Zhang Gui biography:? Two or three days ago, Gaiying's soldiers retreated to the village for three miles with Feng Shui (rain). The Yuan army got the news of desertion, so it took Longweizhou as its stronghold. . Due to the sudden encounter between the two armies, Zhang Gui? Without preparation, the battle will be trapped, taken by surprise, and all will be killed. (Zhang Gui) was shot dozens of times, exhausted, and held hostage by the Yuan Army, unyielding? .
The 3000 armed militiamen led by Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui are much worse in number and equipment than the Yuan army surrounded by Xiang and Fan, and also much worse than the regular army wiped out by Fan and others because of cowardice and incompetence in the Southern Song Dynasty. However, these militiamen, who were not afraid of violence and vowed to defend their country to the death, broke through the heavy blockade of the Yuan Army, completed the task of rescuing Xiang and Fan, and added a group of soldiers with high morale to Xiang and Fan Zeng. At the appointed time, they rushed out of the encirclement and arrived at the scheduled meeting place. Unfortunately, due to the failure of Fan's army, Zhang Gui and other militia fought again and died heroically. Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui led 3,000 militiamen to rescue Xiang and Fan, which showed the indomitable fighting spirit of the broad masses of people in the Southern Song Dynasty to resist the enemy and save the country. In the very hard battle at that time, we won a remarkable victory. Zhang Shun, Zhang Gui and so on. Revered by future generations, although they are still alive after death!
