Live Huaxia: Opening dialogue with an emperor through the ages

under the lens.

I saw Zheng He and Gao Yang's flat boat, driven by the waves of history, gradually pass through a layer of whiteness, and it is impossible to see where the edge is.

At this moment, they seem to be exploring in the sea of ​​history, as if this is also a time voyage.

In the upper right corner of the screen, two lines of small characters also appeared.

In 1884 AD, the tenth year of Guangxu.

Mawei Harbor.

The Battle of Horsetail, a forgotten naval battle.

It is not as famous as the famous Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, but it was the first naval battle of the Chinese navy fleet in modern times.

In 1884, Guba, commander of the French Far East Fleet, led his fleet to invade Mawei Port.

On August 8, the French ship first launched an attack. The main generals of the Qing army feared the battle and abandoned the ship and fled.Before the Fujian Navy's ships had time to anchor, they were sunk by the French ship's shells and sank two ships, severely damaging many ships.

In less than 30 minutes of the naval battle, all 11 warships of the Fujian-Jiang Navy sank, 760 officers and soldiers died, and almost the entire Fujian Navy was wiped out.

under the lens.

At this moment, there was a bang, amidst the sound of huge artillery fire, the surrounding fog was also shaken away by the huge explosion.

In the picture, countless fogs spread towards both sides like a movie curtain, and an extremely tragic naval battle scene appeared in front of my eyes.

Facing the well-equipped and more powerful French fleet, Zhang Peilun, the supreme commander of the Fujian Navy, slipped away before the start of the battle, and the eleven warships left behind were completely useless.

In the eyes of Zheng He and Gao Yang, the moment the battle started, the flagship "Yangwu" of the Fujian Navy immediately fell into the siege of the French fleet.

In addition to artillery, they also used more advanced torpedoes, which directly carried out a devastating blow to the flagship Yangwu.

At this moment, seeing this, Zheng He's eyes were full of sorrow, and he couldn't help sighing.

"It's time to come, it's still coming..."

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, although their equipment was a little behind, they could barely compete. The French warship in front of them announced to everyone that the era of China's leading technology was coming to an end.

Seeing Zheng Zhilong's narrow victory against the Netherlands, he had a premonition of the decline of the Huaxia Navy, but he didn't expect that the Daqing Navy would not make any progress at all.

on the screen.

At the last moment of the sinking of the flagship "Yangwu", a sailor who did not leave his name climbed to the top of the main mast and hung a dragon flag amidst the artillery fire.

Although the ship sank, the flag is still there.

Such a tragic scene seems to have aroused the last trace of fighting spirit of the Fujian Navy.

I saw that on the "Fu Xing" ship, Guan led Chen Ying to call back the entourage who let him "temporarily avoid the edge", ordered to pull the anchor and set sail, turned the bow and rushed directly into the French fleet.

His eyes were full of determination, without any fear, he shouted loudly to the sailors around him.

"This is the day I will serve the country! My boat and cannon are both small, so I can't go deep enough to catch up with the enemy's boat."

"A man who eats the emperor's salary should be rewarded with death! Today's matter, there is no retreat!"

However, in the face of the Fuxing ship that came back, the French fleet immediately commanded three warships to besiege and strangle it.

Seeing this, Chen Ying hurriedly commanded all the firepower to attack the French flagship, but because the guns were small, they failed to hit the enemy's vital points, and she was killed in the watchtower.

However, the Fujian-Jiang Navy is not going to stop counterattacking at this point.

Afterwards, the commander of the "Zhenwei" took Xu Shoushan forward and ordered to charge towards the enemy fleet.

The French army immediately concentrated three warships to bombard the "Zhenwei".

At this moment, when ammunition was exhausted, Xu Shoushan's eyes revealed endless anger and despair. He looked at the French fleet's nearest full-powered "Desdan" and roared suddenly.

"Go forward at full speed, hit the ship and hit the ship!!!"

He's going to sink the Desdan!

In modern history, the Deng Shichang we are familiar with was not the first person to hit a ship and hit a ship, just because it was the only choice for the naval fleet under powerless despair.

However, like Deng Shichang, Xu Shoushan was also unsuccessful.

Before approaching the opposing warship, the Zhenwei was sunk.

However, at the last moment of the sinking of the ship, Xu Shoushan found a cannon nearby, pulled the rope, and hit the "Desdan" with one shot, and then sank into the cold seabed together with the Zhenwu .

He is like a wild beast that will bite off a bite of the enemy's flesh until death.

Seeing this scene, many viewers felt uncomfortable as if their eyes were bewitched by sand.

"Hey, I only knew about the Jiawu Naval Battle before, but I didn't know that the Horsetail Naval Battle was so tragic."

"History is heavy. The horsetail naval battle, which is summarized in a few words in the textbook, is behind the ships and the gunfire rushing towards the enemy like moths. In the end, the ending cannot be changed.”

Just like our current diplomatic mission is so tough, the main reason is the strong strength of the motherland behind it. Hey, two 200-year-olds, one narrowly won, and the other was completely crushed! "

"However, in this naval battle in which our entire army was annihilated, the kind of momentum and courage shown by the Chinese soldiers is the reason why our nation has persisted in winning the final victory in various adversities and even in danger of destroying the country. Confidence and cornerstone!"

Watching eleven Fujian fleets being sunk one after another, Gao Yang and Zheng He's eyes revealed extraordinarily sad.

However, this moment.

On the surface of the water not far away, there was a figure swimming towards a small boat at their feet.

"Look, there's someone."

Seeing this, Zheng He quickly pointed to the young man in the water wearing a sailor costume and said.

Seeing this, Gao Yang's eyes moved, and with a wave of his hand, the boat leaned over and pulled the opponent out of the water.

When the young man recovered his breath, looking at the two people in very different clothes, he couldn't help but a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help saying.

"Junior Zhan Tianyou, thank you two gentlemen for saving me."

Zhan Tianyou? !

As soon as these words came out, Gao Yang's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but sized up the young man, but he didn't say much.

He remembered that there seemed to be records of Zhan Tianyou's participation in the Mawei naval battle, and he was on the Yangwu.

Seeing this, many viewers were surprised by the name and blurted out.

"Zhan Tianyou, is that Zhan Tianyou from the textbook?!"

"Really!! This is really similar to the photo in the textbook, he is really Zhan Tianyou!"

"Wow!!! Who would have thought that the father of China's railways would have participated in the first naval battle of the modern navy! Perhaps this is an easter egg in history!"

under the lens.

It was the night when the entire Fujian-Jiang navy was annihilated.

In the screen, there was a scene that moved everyone.

Residents along the river spontaneously drove fishing boats and salt boats to attack the French fleet.
