More than 36,000 dead soldiers were buried in the Tomb of Chao Ming Army.
The reporter was taken to a big "hill" by historical experts such as Wu Kuigen, president of Sichuan Cultural Institute. Wu Diwen pointed to this "hill" and said, "This is the military tomb of the allied forces of North Korea and Ming Dynasty more than 400 years ago, and the heads of more than 36,000 soldiers of North Korea and Ming Dynasty are buried." The "Tomb of Chao Ming Army" is square, with a length and width of 36 meters and a height of about 8 meters. In the middle of the front of the military tomb, there is a 4-meter-high "comfort tablet". On the front of the black marble monument, there are ten characters "Monument to the Heroes of the Allied Forces of the DPRK and the Ming Dynasty". Behind the monument is a "war comfort inscription", which reads, "In memory of the enemy who is far away in a foreign land and never returns-the deep love of those Ming Dynasty allies. This monument is a tribute to the spirit of the DPRK-Ming Coalition forces. "
Wu Bi Gen said that Korean nationals still remember the history that the Ming Dynasty sent reinforcements to China to help the Korean dynasty with blood and jointly fight against the Japanese pirates. To commemorate the anti-Japanese martyrs of the two countries, Sichuan has always wanted to set up a martyrs monument. In the epic "Ren Chen's Great Patriotic War", more than 30,000 allied soldiers from the DPRK and the Ming Dynasty died in the battlefield against Japan. In order to show their contribution to the Japanese emperor, the ferocious Japanese pirates cut off the ears of Ming soldiers, salted them, put them in more than a dozen big wooden barrels and shipped them back to Japan. In order to cover up the crime, the Japanese invaders cut off the heads of the martyrs of the allied forces of the DPRK and the Ming Dynasty and buried them together. Because the burial address is not accurately recorded, it is too late to build a monument. In order to find the military tombs of the allied forces of the DPRK and the Ming Dynasty, the relevant Korean departments sent historical experts for textual research and excavation. After years of excavation and textual research, we finally found a military tomb here to bury the heads of martyrs. 1983165438+1October 4th. After more than 300 years, this military burial was renovated and officially opened to the public. In order to remember the achievements of the allied forces of the Chao and Ming Dynasties in the anti-Japanese war, a grand memorial service led by the mayor is held in * * * city, Sichuan on June 65438+ 10/day every year. In order not to forget the history of Japan's aggression against Korea and carry forward the anti-Japanese achievements of the DPRK-Ming Coalition forces, South Korea organizes school students to visit here every year to receive patriotic education.
"Battle of Sichuan": The Ming Dynasty allied forces defeated the Japanese invaders.
Located at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, Sichuan has a very important strategic position. A long and narrow Chuanwan is the most convenient passage from overseas to Seoul, the capital of South Korea, and has always been a battleground for military strategists. 1592 On April 4th, the Japanese invaders landed in the southern port city of Busan. Forty-five days later, they occupied the strategic place of Sichuan and stormed the important town of Jinzhou. In less than two months, most of North Korea's territory fell. The king of South Korea sent a special envoy to the Ming Dynasty in an emergency and asked the army for help. The Ming court held that "the map of North Korea by Japanese pirates really refers to China, but our soldiers saved North Korea, so they protected China." So I decided to aid Korea to resist Japan. 1July, 592, the Ming Dynasty sent pioneers Dai Chaoabandon and Shi Ru to lead twenty thousand troops. Lieutenant Zu Chengxun led an army and then entered North Korea, which opened the prelude to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the Ming Dynasty.
1597, the allied forces in Han Ming entered the decisive battle stage. The Ming Dynasty mobilized 6.5438+0.4 million troops from the land and water armed forces to reinforce North Korea again, and decided to attack Ulsan, Sichuan and Surin, three fortresses occupied by the Japanese army. Led by Dong Yiyuan, the lieutenant general of China, and Zhang Bang, the deputy commander, the Eastern Expedition Army of the Korean Aid Korea Anti-Japanese Army launched an attack on Japanese invaders in Yongchun, Kunyang, Jinzhou and Sichuan in the south of the Korean Peninsula in four ways. Zheng Qilong, a right soldier from Gyeongsang, North Korea, also led 2,200 soldiers to join forces with the Ming army to fight together. The allied forces of the Chao and Ming dynasties fought bravely against the enemy, and they were like a broken bamboo, winning many battles. 1598 Late at night on September 28th, the allied forces of the DPRK and the Ming Dynasty launched an attack on the ancient city of Sichuan, a fortress occupied by the Japanese invaders in the south of Korea. At 3 am on the 29th, the Japanese invaders trapped in the city opened the city gate in an attempt to escape. After repelling the Japanese invaders many times, the allied forces of the DPRK and the Ming Dynasty attacked Sichuan on a large scale. Japanese invaders killed 36 arrows, and thousands of Japanese invaders were wiped out. The Japanese invaders burned for two days and two nights in the grain depot in the city, and the flames were soaring. The morale of the Japanese invaders was low after the most important stronghold in southern Korea was destroyed. Japanese invaders from other 10 strongholds "fled at the news" and surrendered more and more.
Japan's "exposed naval battle" ended in failure.
Wu Diwen Beagan led the reporter up a hill. There is a monument on the mountain to General Li Shunchen, Ambassador of the Jeollado Water Army of North Korea. Pointing to the Sichuan Bay at the foot of the mountain, Wu Diwen told reporters that not far ahead was the battlefield where the Ming Dynasty allied forces and water forces won the "offshore war". 1August, 598 18, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Japanese coach, lost ground in the Korean battlefield, feeling ashamed and indignant, and finally died in the Taoshan Castle in Fujian, leaving his own army before his death. 1598165438+10. In October, the Japanese invaders led by Japanese general Konishi Yukinaga tried to escape from the sea under the fatal blow of the allied forces of the DPRK and the Ming Dynasty. Before fleeing, in order to slow down the soldiers' breathing, Konishi Yukinaga sent his men to send gifts such as gold and silver to Li Shunchen, commander of North Korean water army at that time, and Chen Zang's camp, the prefect of Ming water army, hoping for peace talks, but they were rejected. Desperate, Konishi Yukinaga turned to Hiroshi Shimazu, who was entrenched in Sichuan New Town, for help, so Hiroshi Shimazu assembled 500 ships in an attempt to break through the defense lines of the DPRK-Ming allied forces and go home.
1October 4th, 165438+, Li Shunchen and Chen Yin's water army ambushed in Jinwan, Lvliang. When 500 warships trying to transport surplus Japanese troops from North Korea appeared, General Li Shunchen personally drove the ships and beat drums, leading the ships into the enemy lines and being surrounded by Japanese troops. The warship of Chen Biao, the general of the Ming Dynasty, was also surrounded by Japanese warships. Deng Zilong, a 70-year-old veteran of the Ming Dynasty, led 200 brave men to fight on a Korean warship. Unfortunately, the warship he was driving caught fire and Deng died heroically. Deus ex and Chen cheat each other and help each other. Unfortunately, Li Shunchen was shot and his life was dying. Before he died, he said to his son, "The battle is fierce. Don't tell anyone about my death. " He also ordered: "Give the flag to Song Xili, give an order, and continue to beat gongs and drums until victory." In the naval battle of Lvliang, the allied forces of the Ming Dynasty finally won a great victory: 450 Japanese ships were sunk, and more than 65,438+10,000 Japanese troops were annihilated. The Japanese army was defeated, most of the Japanese water army was wiped out, and the remaining troops reluctantly withdrew to Japan. Seven years of aid to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression ended with the victory of China and North Korea and the defeat of Japan. The Ming Shenzong Prize was awarded to the three armed forces and was called "the victory of East Asia and the great achievement of the world" in the history of Ming Dynasty. In memory of the generals who fought side by side, the Ming navy division prefect Zhang transported his body to Gujin Island in Guandao County, the camp of the Ming navy division, and built a "Zhongwu Temple" to pay homage. To commemorate the Ming Army's Anti-Japanese War, North Korea set up a "big newspaper altar" in Seoul.
Building a "History Education Base"
When the reporter came to the main battlefield where the DPRK-Ming Coalition forces jointly fought against Japan, it was on the eve of Shimane Prefecture's attempt to forcibly pass "Dokdo Day". "We can't let history repeat itself," Wu Diwen Beagan said angrily. Sichuan is an anti-Japanese battlefield. In order not to forget the history and remember the achievements of the allied forces of the DPRK and the Ming Dynasty in jointly fighting against Japanese aggression, Sichuan decided to invest 23.3 billion won (about 22.83 million US dollars) to build a "history education base" here, of which 8.6 billion won will be used to renovate the cemetery of the martyrs of the DPRK and the Ming Dynasty and build more "memorial halls" and "memorial halls". Relevant academic seminars sponsored by Sichuan Cultural Institute have been held many times.
