Guan Tianpei has been practicing martial arts since childhood and is upright. 1834, Guan Tianpei was appointed as the prefect of Guangdong Navy, and became Lin Zexu's right-hand man to carry out the anti-smoking campaign. He made outstanding achievements in consolidating coastal defense, training navy and cracking down on British troops.
On February 25th, A.D. 184 1, the British army launched an attack on Zhenyuan and Weiyuan forts in Guan Tianpei. Prior to this, the British army had captured the front steps of Humen and the second fort of Yong' an, and was outnumbered and lacked artillery and ammunition. Guan Tianpei knows that this is the only remaining second fortress in Zhenyuan and Weiyuan. Because the imperial minister Qishan betrayed the country and sought glory, he was also vulnerable. How easy is it to hold Humen? So Guan Tianpei, a 62-year-old hero, and more than 400 soldiers guarding the fort decided to live and die with Humen. He said to all the soldiers: "people can die, but their ambitions must not be humiliated." Today, in the face of strong enemies, we must swear to serve the motherland. I swear to God here that I am at the battery and will never back down! " The soldiers also shouted in unison: "I swear to live and die with the battery." The heroism of Chinese sons and daughters suddenly shook the earth.
Before the war, Guan Tianpei drew up a letter from home to send Sun Changqing, his confidant, home. The letter wrote: "I can't repay your kindness in the world, I can't respect my mother, I can't teach my children to be useful people." Only my wife can do all this. Give your life for your country today and die a fair death. Don't be sad, please take care of yourself, educate your children not to forget the country and the nation, and never collude with the yes-men ... "After sending a message to say goodbye to their loved ones, Guan Tianpei relaxed a lot, and then he called a group of fort guards to do new protection and be ready for battle at any time.
There was a wave on the calm sea, and British warships were coming to Zhenyuan and Weiyuan. Guan Tianpei ordered guns ready, save ammunition, and fight again when the enemy approached. Commanders on British warships are happy to break through the rungs and Yong 'an, regardless of Zhenyuan and Weiyuan. Commander-in-Chief George ordered the British army to surround Zhenyuan and Weiyuan from three sides and fire at the same time, thus destroying Guan Tianpei's troops in one fell swoop.
British ships, ammunition, embattled, but Guan Tianpei is not afraid. He led the soldiers to take up the battle calmly, and gave the British troops a head-on blow, which made them cringe and dare not move forward. But after all, it is hopeless and outnumbered. The firepower of the Qing army gradually weakened. When the British army boarded the battery, Guan Tianpei and his men launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the British army. The Qing army bravely waved broadswords and spears to repel the British, but the casualties became more and more serious, and Guan Tianpei was injured in many places. Seeing that he was surrounded by the British army, the old hero finally stabbed an enemy and sighed: "The British army is hateful, Qishan is hateful, and Tianpei is martyred here!" Then the sword fell and the neck was cut.
The brutal fighting ended, and Guan Tianpei and more than 400 officers and men died in the battlefield.
The heroic deeds of Deng Shichang, a naval general in the late Qing Dynasty, are exactly the same as those of Guan Tianpei. The Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894 broke out on 1894. /kloc-In the Yellow Sea naval battle in September, 2007, Deng Shichang, as the company commander of Zhiyuan Ship, ordered to speed up the attack on the enemy ship Yoshino, but was unfortunately hit by a torpedo. Deng Shichang and 250 officers and men of the whole ship died heroically. His patriotism and heroic deeds are epic.
Facing the powerful enemy, Guan Tianpei, Deng Shichang and their soldiers fought bravely and died. The virtues of heroes in heroically killing the enemy, defending the country and defending the country, and being brave in sacrifice make us extremely revered; At the same time, the country is backward, poor and weak, and bullied by strong enemies. People in power are afraid of death and betray their country for glory, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
