[A Solitary Loyal Person in the Vast Ocean: The Life of Zhang Huangyan]
(Music starts playing and the screen temporarily opens to tell the story of Zhang Huangyan's life.
The video begins with Zhang Huangyan in his youth, often discussing the art of war with others. At that time, his life ideal was to achieve academic success and serve the Ming Dynasty.
Before Zhang Huangyan, who passed the imperial examination, had time to be happy, the Ming Dynasty's capital, Beijing, was invaded by peasant armies. The emperor committed suicide, and the Ming Dynasty was trapped both internally and externally.
As a large number of strange-looking Qing cavalrymen in the picture move south, they not only destroy the bodies of the disobedient, but also force them to shave their heads and change their clothes in order to destroy their spirits.
Zhang Huangyan rode a horse and held a sword and began his journey to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
...
Zhang Huangyan in prison looked calm, wrote a suicide poem, and bravely went to the execution ground.)
[Zhang Huangyan, courtesy name Xuanzhuo and pseudonym Cangshui, was born in Yin County, Zhejiang Province in June of the 12th year of the Wanli reign. He lost his mother at the age of and lived with his father Zhang Guizhang, who was once a judge at the Shanxi Salt Transport Department and later a deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice.
In the 22th year of Chongzhen, the imperial court was in urgent need of military talents, so it added a military examination to the civil examination. When examining horseback archery, Zhang Huangyan shot three arrows and hit the target. The -year-old Zhang Huangyan was confident that he would pass the examination. However, the uprising led by Li Zicheng had swept across the country, and the Ming Dynasty was in danger.
In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing and Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian committed suicide on Coal Hill. In practical terms, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed.
The following year, the Qing army marched south and successively conquered Yangzhou, Nanjing, and Jiading... Zhang Huangyan, who was already 25 years old, resolutely decided to go to the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian to start an uprising and restore the Ming Dynasty. 】
<Three Pillars of the Southern Ming Dynasty:
Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan
Peasant uprising army, pirates, civil officials>
<Mr. Cangshui's Shrine>
<It is admirable that he did it despite knowing it is impossible. He is a hero!>
<Zhang Gong will live forever!!!>
<Mr. Zhang Cangshui, the backbone of the Southern Ming Dynasty! >
<Haha, the Qing army's successive defeats? That was a series of massacres!>
...
Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian calculated in his mind that the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, Cangshui, was only nine years old! However, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Justice was still in Beijing.
He ordered Wang Chengen to bring Zhang Guizhang into the palace so that he could take a good look at his father, who would become the future pillar of the Ming Dynasty.
In the Zhang residence, Zhang Huangyan was crying and hugging his mother Zhao, "No...No."
Even though Zhao's heart was filled with turmoil, she still smiled and caressed her young son, "Mom is still here, don't be afraid."
After all, he was still young, and with his mother's gentle comfort, Xiao Zhang was so happy when he heard the screen say that he would pass the imperial examination in the future. He shouted: "Look! Dad, I passed the imperial examination at the age of 22, much better than you!"
Zhang Guizhang also nodded in agreement, "Yes, you are the best!"
Looking down at his son, Zhang Guizhang's eyes were slightly wet. He could already foresee what the result would be. The previous exposure of the light curtain said that the Southern Ming Dynasty failed to become the Southern Song Dynasty, and the anti-Qing restoration of the Ming Dynasty also failed, so... my son will be...
...
In the second year of the Longwu reign of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Manchus broke through the Qiantang River, and cities such as Shaoxing, Hangzhou, Yiwu, and Jinhua fell one after another. Zhang Huangyan rushed back to his hometown to bid farewell to his family, and then followed Prince Lu to Zhoushan, where he organized and recruited volunteers.
On April 4, the first year of the Yongli reign of the Southern Ming Dynasty, a storm hit Chongming Island, and the governor and others were captured and executed by the Qing army. Zhang Huangyan's ship was also overturned by the hurricane, and he was trapped by the Qing army for seven days. On the way back to the sea, he was besieged by the Qing army, and Zhang Huangyan led several people on horseback to break through.
In the fifth year of the Yongli reign of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Battle of Zhoushan took place. Zhang Huangyan pinned down the main force of the Qing army. In this battle, 1,000 soldiers and civilians from Zhoushan died and were buried together at the foot of Longfeng Mountain in the north of Dinghai City.
In the seventh year of the Yongli reign of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhang Huangyan led a hundred warships to the north and besieged the Qing troops in Chongming for eight months.
In the 8000th year of the Yongli reign of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhang Huangyan marched into Zhejiang and conquered Yueqing, Ninghai, etc. Sometimes, fate is like this. The rebel army, which had just seen the hope of success, encountered a big typhoon in Yangshan, which caused the loss of more than giant ships and more than soldiers. Zhang Huangyan was forced to withdraw to Xiamen.
In the 13th year of the Yongli reign of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhang Huangyan once again led the rebel army into the Yangtze River to fight. He was warmly welcomed by the people along the river along the way. As a result, the former officials who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty defected one after another. This time, four prefectures, three states and twenty-four counties were successfully recovered. The Han people all rushed to bring cattle and wine to reward the army, leaned on their walking sticks and burned incense, and when they saw the well-dressed people, they burst into tears.
However, after Zheng Chenggong was forced to retreat to the sea due to the failure of his attack on Nanjing, Zhang Huangyan's army soon found itself in a dangerous situation. The Qing army besieged and defeated them. Despite the attack of malaria, Zhang Huangyan went through numerous hardships and dangers to return to the coast of Zhejiang, regroup his old troops, and try to restore the old country.
The Qing government's "order to move to the sea" caused the rebels to "have no money" and had to "open up farmland in the south to support themselves". Zheng Chenggong led his army to Taiwan, and the Qing army marched south in large numbers. The Yongli regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty collapsed. The Qing government wrote again to ask for surrender, but Zhang Huangyan sternly refused. 】
<Zhoushan...cardiac arrest [crying]>
<I will never forget the great virtue of Daiqing [smile]>
<Northern Expedition to Destroy the Qing Dynasty!!!>
<Heaven does not bless Ming, destiny is not in Ming [sigh]>
<All I can say is that the Ming Dynasty has run out of luck...>
<Alas, although Zheng Chenggong is also very good, he really screwed Zhang Huangyan and Li Dingguo here... This can be said to be the last chance>
<Zhang Shangshu, Li Jinwang, and Guoxingye of the Southern Ming Dynasty...>
< The Nanjing City built by Zhu Yuanzhang failed to stop Zhu Di and the Qing army, but finally stopped Zheng Chenggong's army to restore the Ming Dynasty. Isn't this a kind of irony>
< Zhu Di entered Nanjing because someone opened the city gate, the Qing army entered Nanjing because the surrenderists opened the gate, and Zheng Chenggong failed to enter Nanjing because he chose to besiege but not attack, which led to the Qing army's return for support>
<It was also in that year that a fire on Maolu Mountain announced the end of the mainland's anti-Qing armed forces under the banner of reviving the Ming Dynasty>
[Qin Shi Huangdi Ying Zheng: Dynasties rise and fall, and every few hundred years, a new cycle begins.]
[Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang: So, Brother Zheng, don’t be obsessed with immortality.]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Seeing the Qing Dynasty costumes really hurts my eyes. My Han Chinese clothes...]
[Song Chunxi Year 2 Yue Fei: Northern Expedition, Expel the Tartars!!!]
[Song Renzong Zhao Zhen: No wonder Guangmu Commentary mentioned several times that the Southern Ming was "high in the mountains, bandits died for the country. The Lingdingyang was wide, pirates guarded the country. The gentry did not pay taxes, the military did not pay salaries. The civil officials were too cold, and the military generals became vassal kings." [Shocked]]
[Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao: The Southern Ming Dynasty failed to become the Southern Song Dynasty, perhaps because of this.]
[Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao: I am so happy to think that your grandson has lived for so many years! Why didn't you take him with you when you died?]
[Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yijun: Ahem, my ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, I, Zhu Yijun, hereby swear that I will never let the Qing Dynasty happen again!]
[Emperor Yongle of Ming Dynasty Zhu Di: Boy, work hard, or I will find you in my dreams. [Smile]]
...
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his face turned red. Thinking of Nanjing City, he couldn't get rid of the anger in his heart, so he had to vent his anger at Zhu Di: "Did you waste all your luck?"
"Have pity on my loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty."
Except for Zhu Di, all the other princes and civil and military officials in the audience wiped their tears with their sleeves raised.
Zhu Di expressed that he felt wronged. Guangmu had said that the mistake was caused by Zheng Chenggong's wrong decision, so it had nothing to do with him.
Among the civil and military officials, those whose families were in Zhejiang, all burst into tears when they saw the Qing Dynasty's massacre, and shouted: "The Qing Dynasty Tartars are not human! Butchers!"
...
[In the third year of Kangxi's reign, there was no hope for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Huangyan disbanded his rebel army and lived in seclusion on an island. Seeing that there was no hope for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, he disbanded his rebel army on Xuanwei Island in Nantian and lived in seclusion on an island.
Zhang Huangyan fell into despair. He disbanded the rebel army and lived in seclusion on an island. In July of the same year, Zhang Huangyan was betrayed by a traitor and arrested. In September of the same year, he was killed by the Qing army in Hangzhou. When he was executed, he refused to kneel and was killed, but sat down and was stabbed.
Before his execution, he looked up at Wushan Mountain and sighed, "What a beautiful mountain, but it's a pity that it has become a fishy place!"
He is 45 years old.
“I am fifty-nine years old, and it happens to be September 7th.
The building is no longer supported, and all the work is done by dying for the sake of justice. "
——Zhang Huangyan's "Suicide Poem"
After his death, he was buried at the foot of Nanping Mountain in Hangzhou, becoming the third national hero buried in Hangzhou along with Yue Fei and Yu Qian. They are collectively known as the "Three Heroes of West Lake".
<“I am ashamed to share three seats with my bare hands, but I dare to borrow one for my loyal heart”>
“I met West Lake in my dream, but it was still blurry when I woke up.
The high tomb is full of loyalty and solemnity, and a new temple is added. ”>
<One more thing, Hong Chengchou’s former residence is a place that makes people spit when passing by. It’s shameless that this thing has become a patriotism education base! >
<Everyone says that reading the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty raises blood pressure, so it is not recommended. But if you don’t read the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, how can you know people like Zhang Huangyan, Li Dingguo, and Zheng Chenggong?>
<The purpose of commemorating national heroes like the Three Heroes of West Lake is not to spread national hatred, but to let everyone know that since ancient times, there has always been a group of people in China who are not afraid and stand up tenaciously in times of crisis! Their deeds encourage us, and their beliefs encourage us!>
<I was crying the whole time, I really couldn’t stand it [covering my face] I felt so bad watching the video, I have to find a novel about a time traveler to the Southern Ming Dynasty and a successful anti-Qing Dynasty to relieve my stress>
