Why do 100,000 soldiers and civilians prefer to jump into the sea to commit suicide rather than go ashore to fight the Mongols?
The Battle of Yashan is about the last battle between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongolian army. In this battle, 654.38 million soldiers and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty decided to commit suicide by jumping into the sea together and vowed not to be captured by the Mongolian army. They just died. Later, many people suggested that since everyone had the courage to die, why not fight the Mongolian army to the death. In fact, it's not that they don't want to fight the last battle for the country, but that most of the 65438+ all the people are ordinary people. They are no match for the Mongolian army at all. They went out to fight to the death, but they sacrificed their lives in vain. If caught, they will definitely be humiliated and abused by the Mongolian army, so these people all decided to commit suicide.

In A.D. 1277, the small court of Southern Song Dynasty fled to Quanzhou. They robbed a number of merchant ships on the shore and then took them to Fuzhou. When they arrived in Fuzhou, they managed to get another batch of ships. During the voyage, a typhoon blew and some people were killed in it. Only 65438+100000 soldiers and civilians finally arrived in Yashan area.

Under the pressure of the Mongolian army, the 100 soldiers and civilians were trapped in Yashan for several months. They have no food, no drinks and no weapons to fight, and their hopes are dashed bit by bit. A small number of them fled to other countries through the breakout, and most of them didn't want to leave their country, but their country was occupied by the Mongolian army and could never go back. So in such a desperate situation, 65,438+10,000 soldiers and civilians decided to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

In their case, it is understandable to choose to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. Our descendants are not them, and we can't understand their pain of national subjugation. The dead are gone, and we can only say: May they rest in peace.
