Chen Huacheng was a minister in the late Qing Dynasty, born in 1776. Originally from Chen Huacheng, Tongan, Fujian. At the age of sixteen, he moved to Taiwan Province Province with his uncle, and then lived in Xingzhi area of Danshui Hall. I joined the army when I was old and became a soldier in the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Huacheng started as a soldier, and successively served as commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, lieutenant general, company commander and company commander of Kinmen. Ten years after Daoguang, he was promoted to the prefect of Fujian Navy, stationed in Xiamen, and repeatedly repelled the invading British fleet.

Chen Huacheng Brief Introduction In the 12th year of Daoguang, the British East India Company sent "Amistad" to Xiamen to secretly carry out espionage activities. In this case, before there is clear evidence, Chen Huacheng can only order naval officers and soldiers to closely monitor and expel them from the port once problems are found.

Soon, British warships invaded Fujian and Zhejiang and occupied the southeast coastal areas of China. Chen Huacheng immediately led the troops to pursue and intercept, ensuring national interests and maintaining territorial security.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the western countries opened the door to China with the shelling of ships, which made the closed-door Qing Dynasty begin to face overseas affairs. The original purpose of Britain and other countries is only to regard China as their commodity market and raw material producing area, so the first thing they do is to conduct legal trade.

However, when Britain traded with the Qing Dynasty, there was a trade deficit. In order to change this situation, Britain finally began to dump opium to China.

I don't need to say more about what opium is and what kind of influence it will bring. Everyone should know. At that time, the earliest trading ports of Jinmen and Xiamen were the most serious opium smuggling. In the 13th year of Daoguang, Chen Huacheng led the navy to recover opium in this area for a hundred years, and made many achievements.

During his tenure as the prefect of Fujian Navy, Chen Huacheng always adhered to his own bottom line and showed no mercy to the British who invaded the territory of China, thus ensuring the interests of China.

Twenty years after Daoguang, the Opium War broke out. In order to strengthen the defense in Jiangnan area, Chen Huacheng was transferred to Jiangnan as the magistrate by Qing Dynasty. After Chen Huacheng came to power, he began to organize the whole army, build forts, race against time to decorate Wusong defense, and guard the defense of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. At that time, the British warship sailed to Wusong and saw that Wusong was well defended, and finally gave up the plan to attack.

At the beginning of April in the 22nd year of Daoguang, twenty-seven British warships assembled near Ji Gu Reef outside the Yangtze River estuary and plunged into Wusongkou measuring waterway. Needless to say, what the British were thinking, Chen Huacheng immediately ordered the navy to stick to Wusong and fire at the British fleet.

On the sixth day of April of the same year, Britain attacked Wusong fortress with more than 100 ships and more than 10 thousand troops. Although the strength of the two armies was far from each other, Chen Huacheng remained calm and commanded, and fought to the death with Wusong fortress.

At that time, he personally led dozens of Qin Bing, firmly guarding the isolated position of the West Fort, and went up to make up for any defects. He not only lit the artillery himself, but also commanded the rifle team and the shotgun team to shoot at the invading army that landed on the shore. It was not until the British besieged him that he fell to his position after being shot seven times. Return to Sohu to see more.
