Fighting against the French invasion in 1885

details

On March 1, 1885, the French Far East fleet commander led his own fleet to attack Zhaobaoshan fort in zhenhaikou in an attempt to seize Zhenhai and exert pressure on the Qing government. Xue Fucheng, a famous reform thinker and outstanding diplomat in modern China, was Ning shaotai Dao at that time. He and a group of patriotic generals led the army to resolutely resist. That afternoon, Guba took the Newbury and led the fleet to attack Zhaobaoshan in an attempt to destroy the Weiyuan fort. Wu Jie, a tiger general known by local people as big brother Wu, immediately ordered to use a 200 pound steel gun to attack, and hit the ship's bow in the first shot. The enemy ships were bombarded with platoon guns, and the bombs were falling like rain in Zhaobaoshan and Zhenhai city. Wu Jie risked his life to operate the guns himself and hit the stern of the newhuili ship. In the evening, all French ships returned to the Jintang sea. Unwilling to fail, the French sent another five warships to attack Zhaobaoshan Fort every two days. Wu Jie took charge of the gun himself. The second shot hit the mast of the enemy ship, and the beam fell down, crushing the French commander. The notorious leader of the invading army in modern history died in Penghu. Zhenhai army and people persisted in the war of resistance for 103 days, and finally ended up with the complete failure of the French army. This is the first and only complete victory in the battle of coastal defense against foreign invasion in modern Chinese history.

Zhenhai military and civilian anti aggression historical exhibition

After the war ended, Zhaobaoshan was gradually forgotten. "It's young students who give us enlightenment," Gao Binghua, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Zhenhai District Party committee, told reporters. In October 1993, the Cultural Department of Zhenhai held the "exhibition of Zhenhai military and civilian anti aggression historical relics", which attracted more than ten thousand visitors in just a few days, many of them young students. After visiting Zhenhai middle school, a student wrote passionately in his message book: "will China always lag behind? We will answer with action! "Inspired by the heroic deeds of the martyrs, the students of Zhenhai middle school study hard and make progress. Feng Zhongfa, deputy director of Zhenhai culture and Broadcasting Bureau, revealed: this famous middle school in Zhejiang Province, where Rou Shi was the teaching director in the 1930s, has an entrance examination rate of more than 98% every year! The patriotism of the students infected the decision-makers in Zhenhai. Hong Junjie, Secretary of the district Party committee, has formed a draft of protecting, restoring and developing coastal defense heritage projects and building China's first coastal defense historical Memorial.

Looking at the increasingly prosperous Beilun port and Zhenhai city, and looking at the coastal defense sites in front of them, they thought further: after Comrade Jiang Zemin became general secretary, he repeatedly proposed to use modern Chinese history to educate the youth and the people. The construction of China's first coastal defense historical Memorial Hall and the protection and restoration of coastal defense sites can not only educate the people and promote patriotism, but also create a good environment and promote economic development and social progress.

At the same time, they also decided: the first week of April every year is the "patriotic education week", and the whole district holds a grand national flag raising ceremony in Zhenhai people's Square; all primary and secondary schools in the region should combine the first lesson and the first text of each semester with the history of coastal defense to preach patriotism; new employees of enterprises and institutions, primary and secondary school freshmen should visit the coastal defense sites to receive education

In the summer of 1994, Ma Weizhi, vice president of National Defense University, and Xu Fangzhou, director of education, led 70 general students to Ningbo. Ningbo is going to arrange for the generals to visit the famous Tianyige library. Xu Fang, who grew up in Zhenhai, has never been back to his hometown for many years, but I vaguely remember climbing Zhaobao mountain to touch the ancient fort when I was a child. So he sent a staff officer to inspect Zhenhai. The staff officer brought it back and Zhenhai was being repaired
