In the last year of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty soldiers came to attack and prepared to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, although the Southern Song Dynasty put up stubborn resistance, but finally perished because the Yuan Dynasty's cavalry was too strong, during this period, there were many anti-Yuan heroes who could sing and cry, such as the three masters of the late Song Dynasty: Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Yuanjie, Lu Xiufu and so on.
These characters are all familiar to us, especially Wen Tianxiang, who can be called the last wind bone of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang once served as a military weapons supervisor and concurrently a scholar of power, was deposed for satirizing Jia Xiangdao, the Yuan Dynasty army invaded the south, Wen Tianxiang raised 50,000 soldiers to resist the Yuan army, and later arrived in Lin'an, was sent by the Southern Song Court to negotiate peace with the Yuan army, was arrested because of the rebuke of the Yuan army general Boyan, and escaped in the process of being sent to the Yuan capital, at this time the empress dowager and Emperor Gong Zhao Xian were forced to surrender to the Yuan army, and the Southern Song Dynasty perished.
However, the Song Dynasty army that resisted the Yuan army was still there, Wen Tianxiang arrived in Fuzhou, and together with Chen Yizhong, Lu Xiufu, and Zhang Shijie, he established Zhao Yan as emperor in Fuzhou, and the era name Jingyan, that is, Song Duanzong, continued to resist the Yuan army, the Yuan army attacked Fujian, Wen Tianxiang turned to Jiangxi Guangdong to continue fighting, unfortunately captured in Guangdong, Wen Tianxiang was escorted to the capital of Yuan, Kublai Khan personally persuaded to surrender, Wen Tianxiang swore not to surrender, and was killed.
Most people know the deeds of Wen Tianxiang, and the reason why he is mentioned again is because his spirit is not only the wind and bone of the Southern Song Dynasty, but also the spiritual pillar of the Southern Song Dynasty's military and civilian resistance to the Yuan, after Wen Tianxiang became righteous, his spirit did not disappear, but inspired others to rise up and resist.
Ji Wenlong was one of them, Ji Wenlong Zi Xikuo, a native of Jizhai Township, Qingtian County, Zhejiang Province, who was then serving as a town in Fujian Province, and under the inspiration and influence of Wen Tianxiang, led an army to revolt and rise up against the Yuan.
In the second year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1277), Ji Wenlong and Zhang Yi led Zhang Shijie's old Huai army in Fujian to revolt, and they sent themselves two Zhejiang pacification envoys, and seven nearby counties responded, and the anti-Yuan forces rapidly expanded. After the rebel army conquered Chuzhou (present-day Lishui), it occupied Tianqingguan and killed the Yuan Dynasty Zhao prefect. Chuzhou Daruhua Chi Zhao Benheng led three hundred knights of the Yuan army to suppress it, and Chen Bing went down to the river. Wen Long led his troops out of the city to meet the battle, and was killed and trampled by the knights of the Yuan Army. Twenty thousand rebels withdrew from the city of Chuzhou and fought valiantly against the Yuan army on the south bank of the Evil Creek (present-day Good Creek). However, they were attacked by reinforcements from Kudutai and fought Chinese dragon unfortunately drowned and died.
After Ji Wenlong's defeat and sacrifice against the Yuan, the Ji family was affected by Zhu Lian, destroyed the ninth generation, except for the six relatives, almost exterminated, only Ji Wenlong's fifth brother survived by chance, so as not to cut off the bloodline, Ji Wenlong inherited the spirit of Wen Tianxiang, his reality and spirit also affected others, this person is Zhang Sanba.
Although the name Zhang Sanba is relatively earthy, but his spirit cannot be erased, Zhang Sanba himself is a farmer, it is not surprising to have such a name, Zhang Sanba is a Longquan person, under the inspiration of Ji Wenlong, Zhang Sanba gathered 20,000 people to revolt, killing the whole family of Daru Huachi in Yuanyuan County. Yuan general Zhao Benheng led a fine horse of 500 to beg. The two armies fought fiercely in Fuyun Township three times, Zhang Bu was defeated and defeated, and the Yuan general Lü De took advantage of the victory to pursue. Zhang Sanba was executed, and the rest of the troops were scattered.
The stubborn resistance of these people did not stop the Yuan army, and eventually the Southern Song Dynasty collapsed, and the Han people under the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty became the fourth class of the Yuan Dynasty: the Southerners, this phenomenon did not change until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang, Ji Wenlong, Zhang Sanba, although they may not intersect, but they can relay resistance to the Yuan, their deeds are really singable and weeping.
Of course, the behavior of the three of them must be meaningful in the historical context of the time, and their spirit is worth learning and remembering.
