Fishing City

Fishing City, which is known as "Mecca in the East" and "the place where God breaks the whip", is a thousand year old battlefield in Europe. It shows the world the tragedy of history without words.

There is a legendary history about Diaoyu City: in July 1259, the Mongolian army sent three troops to attack Song Dynasty. Under the tenacious resistance of the army and people of Diaoyu City, dahanmengge was seriously injured by artillery fire, and later died in the North Hot Spring Temple. After the death of mengge, the Mongolian army fought for the throne, weakened the power of attacking the Southern Song Dynasty and expanding to Europe, continued the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty, and changed the pattern of the world. Therefore, the fishing city was praised as "the place where God broke the whip" by Chinese and foreign historians.

In 1259, the 36 year long "Diaoyu City defense war" took place in Hezhou Diaoyu City, Tongchuan Fu Road. It was a decisive battle between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongolian army. It was also a significant battle in Chinese and world history. It created a rare example in the history of Chinese and foreign wars in which the weak prevailed over the strong. Therefore, Diaoyu City was known as "God's whip breaking place".

The main landscapes of the fishing city include the city gate, city wall, Imperial Palace, Wudao yamen, bujunying, Shuijun wharf and other sites, Diaoyutai, Huguo temple, xuanfo temple, thousand Buddha grottoes, Huangdong, Tianquan cave, Feiyan cave and other places of interest, as well as a large number of poems, poems and reliefs from the yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

History of the ancient city

In 1235, the Mongol army sent troops to the south to attack the Song Dynasty. Since then, the two sides have launched decades of offensive and defensive activities in the three battlefields of Sichuan and Shaanxi in the west, Jingxiang in the middle and Jianghuai in the East. Because of its location in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and its natural danger in Kuimen, Bashu area became the primary target of Mongolia's attack on Song Dynasty for quite a period of time.

In 1240, the fourth year of Jiaxi reign of the Southern Song Dynasty, Peng Daya, the Vice Minister of Sichuan government, sent Gan run to build a village on the fishing mountain ten miles east of Hezhou (now Hechuan, Chongqing) in Tongchuan to fight against the Mongolian army.

In 1242, in order to stabilize the "Ximen" and "Houhu", the Southern Song Dynasty promoted Yu Yu, vice envoy of huaidong to minister of the Ministry of war and Sichuan pacification envoy, and presided over the defense of Sichuan. In view of the fact that Chengdu has been lost and the middle of Sichuan is dilapidated, Yu Yu also knows Chongqing government. Chongqing became the military and political base of the whole Sichuan.

In the third year of Chunyou in the Southern Song Dynasty (1243), Yu Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of war, the history of pacification system in Sichuan and the governor of Chongqing, began to build the fishing city.

To prevent the Mongolian army from going south to break Kuimen under the Yangtze River became the top priority after Yu Yu took office. He made full use of Bashu mountain danger to fight against Mongolian cavalry.

In 1243, he ordered people to build a city on the fishing mountain of Hezhou, which is located at the intersection of the three rivers in the lower reaches of Jialing River and just north of Chongqing. He also moved to Hezhou and stationed heavy troops here.

Experience

In 1251, mengge, the grandson of Genghis Khan, succeeded to the throne. The ambitious mengge Khan is determined to make contributions. After sending the kings to West Asia, Korea and Dali, they planned to attack the Song Dynasty on a large scale with the left and right armies, together with the army that had already occupied Yunnan. Mengge decided to lead the right army to attack Sichuan through Guanzhong, in an attempt to capture Chongqing, go down to Kuimen in the East, join the left army and the southern army in Ezhou, and then go down the east to attack Lin'an and destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the sixth year of Baoyou (1258) of the Southern Song Dynasty, mengge Khan, with the power of conquering more than 40 countries in Europe, Asia and Africa, divided his troops into three routes to attack the Song Dynasty. In February of the next year, mengge's troops invaded Hezhou fishing city (now Chongqing Hechuan fishing city) on Chuanfu road in Lintong. Mengge's iron cavalry is invincible. However, under the tenacious resistance of Wang Jian, the general of the fishing City, and Zhang Jue, the deputy general, they can't cross the thunder pool. In July, mengge was injured by city fire, and later died in Wenquan temple. In 1260, Kublai Khan, who was the Great Khan, changed his strategy of conquering the Song Dynasty by taking Bashu first, and gradually shifted the focus of his attack to the Jingxiang war zone in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Mongolia and song entered a state of confrontation in Sichuan battlefield. As an outpost of Chongqing, Diaoyu City, supported and depended on many mountain cities along the Jialing River and the Yangtze River, which was enough to control Dongchuan. Therefore, it was still the focus of contention between the Mongolian and Song dynasties.

In 1268, Kublai mobilized nearly one hundred thousand armies to surround Xiangyang, and began a 5 year battle in Xiangfan. It also opened the prelude to Mongolia's third Song Dynasty. In order to prevent the Southern Song Dynasty from sending troops from Bashu to assist Xiangyang, the Mongolian army carried out large-scale raids in Sichuan, especially strengthened the encirclement of the fishing City, and "built a city to see" between the fishing city and other mountain cities. However, Zhang Jue, the general of Diaoyu City, is a strong defender and "always wins by surprise and gains many victories." Until the end of the Xiangfan campaign, the Mongolian army in the fishing city could only "come and go in spring and autumn.". However, the wheel of history can not be stopped.

In 1273, after the yuan army occupied Xiangyang, Kublai Khan issued an edict to advance by water and destroy the Song Dynasty on a large scale. Many towns in Sichuan were acquired by Yuan army.

At the beginning of 1276, the court of Southern Song Dynasty descended to Yuan Dynasty in Lin'an. The yuan army also speeded up the pace of pacifying Sichuan. In more than a year, it successively occupied Luzhou and pingdongchuan.

In the second lunar month of 1278, Chongqing city was conquered, and Shaoqing, Nanping, Kui, Shi, Si, Bo and other prefectures were conquered. The big building will collapse and it will be difficult to stand alone.

In the first month of 1279, the garrison general of Diaoyu City and the pacifier Wang Li of Hezhou City ended the resistance on the condition that the city could not be slaughtered, and opened the city to lower the Yuan Dynasty. The fishing City, which had been held fast for 36 years in the Southern Song Dynasty, finally fell. In the same year, Zhao Min, the young emperor who fled to Yashan, died by crossing the sea, and the Southern Song Dynasty perished. For more than 36 years, the defense war of Diaoyu City has written a rare example in the history of Chinese and foreign wars in which the weak wins the strong. Therefore, Diaoyu City is known as "the place where God breaks the whip" by Europeans.

Ancient battlefield sites

The ancient battlefield site of Diaoyucheng is still well preserved. The main landscapes include city gate, city wall, Imperial Palace, Wudao yamen, bujunying, Shuijun wharf, Diaoyutai, Huguo temple, xuanfo temple, thousand Buddha grottoes, Huangdong, Tianquan cave, Feiyan cave and other places of interest, as well as a large number of poems and Fu, relief inscriptions left over from yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In 1982, fishing city was listed as a national scenic spot. In the Ancient War Museum of the Chinese people's Revolutionary Military Museum, there is a sand table model showing a famous battle in the 13th century. It is the ancient battlefield of Diaoyucheng. At that time, as a typical representative of the defense system of the mountain city, the fishing city fully demonstrated its defense role in the cold weapon era, and it became a fortress that the Mongolian army could not conquer at that time.

From 1243 to 1279, the army and people of Hezhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, led by Wang Jian and Zhang Jue, relied on the natural danger of the fishing city. "In spring, they would go out to the fields and work hard; in autumn, they would transport grain and salary and defend themselves by war." More than 80 powerful Mongol and Yuan generals, such as mengge Khan (yuan Xianzong), commander-in-chief Wang Dechen and Dongchuan Tongjun HeLa, regarded the fishing city as a place of "bullets" and besieged the city for a long time.

After more than 200 battles, the two sides jointly created the 36 year offensive and defensive war of Diaoyu City, a rare miracle in the history of Chinese and foreign wars. It is famous for the historical fact that the Mongol Khanate had to withdraw from the Eurasian battlefield after the death of the Mongol Khan in the fishing city.

Ancient city wall

The present wall of Diaoyu City is rebuilt on the basis of the original wall, so it is still very spectacular. From the crenels of the ancient fort of the city wall to the lower part of the city, the rolling Jialing River rushes and flows, while down the river is the confluence of Jialing River, Fujiang River and Qujiang River. It can be seen clearly that the fishing city is in the embrace of three rivers.

Standing in front of the ancient cannons on the wall of the city, the sound of fighting still reverberates in my ears. Although the smoke of war is far away, the eight kilometer city wall, eight city gates, Fort, pier, plank road, naval wharf, military workshop, barracks and other military and living facilities of song and Yuan dynasties can clearly see the traces of the war. The appellation of "ancient military camp villa" for people's accommodation has a strong military color.
