During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Sichuan, as the rear of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, sent 3 million soldiers out of Sichuan to the front line to participate in the War of Resistance, and in many battles such as Xinkou, Taierzhuang, Songhu, and Nanjing, with their rudimentary equipment and tenacious fighting spirit and spirit of sacrifice, they made great contributions to the War of Resistance, with as many as 640,000 casualties. The number of participants in the war and the number of casualties ranked first in the country! It has created the reputation of "no river and no army". Among them, Xuanhan County is the myth of "one county into an army" (eastern Sichuan guerrilla army). In fact, the reason why the Sichuan Army can make such a huge contribution to the country and the nation is not only the need of the mission of the times, but also the cultural tradition of the Bashu nation, especially the Pakistani people. The Pakistani people are "loyal, courageous, faithful," loyal to the country, courageous and martial in conquest, credit in society, and love and righteousness in friends.
In ancient times, the Ba people were in the dangerous land of the poor mountains and bad waters in the Wuba Mountains, constantly fighting with their neighbors, developing in migration, growing up in battle, and being an authentic fighting nation. In particular, in battle, it is famous for being good at using a wooden shield "plate", so it is called "plate barbarian". According to legend, the board lintel is made of unusually hard Qinggang wood in the Dabashan area, or peng row, side row, whisker shield, and some are also covered with rhino skin and are also known as rhinoceros. On the battlefield, the panlin warriors held the willow leaf-shaped bronze sword unique to the Pakistani people in one hand, held the willow leaf-shaped bronze sword in the other, cooperated closely with each other, listed as battle formations, sang and danced before and after, the momentum was magnificent, and the sound was shocked for nine days, which made the enemy feel frightened and fearful, and was known as the "divine soldier".
During the Xia Shang Dynasty, the Ba people had formed many small clan tribes and tribal alliances, which were called "Ba Fang" in Yin Xu Bu's speech. The growing power of the Ba side made Shangqiu, the capital of the Shang Dynasty, feel threatened, and the Shang king Wu Ding sent his wife, Hao, to conquer the Ba people. Don't underestimate that women are the generation of women, but they are famous female generals of the Shang Dynasty, who once fought in the southern and northern wars, made great contributions to the zhongxing of the Shang Dynasty during the Wuding Period, and held the military and religious sacrifice power of the Shang Dynasty before they died. The woman used many methods such as ambush warfare to attack the Pakistani side, the process of the war was very tortuous and tragic, and will be described separately in a special article later, because this matter is not the focus of the matter here, the point here is that the Pakistani people did not succumb to the women's good, but aroused the heart of resistance, and showed their skills in the war of destroying merchants who helped the king of Wu to cut down the merchants, and made outstanding achievements.
Shi Zai, when the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang, there were eight major princely allies who followed king Wu of Zhou, known in history as the "Eight Kingdoms of Pastoral Oath", namely Yong, Shu, Qiang, Qi, Wei, Lu, Peng, and Pu, and there were four of them in the land of Bashu. You should have noticed that there is no Pakistan among the eight countries here. It shows that Pakistan is not a starter but a substitute, but it is this "bench" player who comes to the top, wins by surprise, and also seals the "Bazi Country" because of his battle achievements. "Huayang Guozhi Bazhi": "King Wu of Zhou, the master of Shide Bashu." Author of the Book of Shang. Ba Shi is brave and sharp, singing and dancing to Ling Yin people, and the former disciples have turned against each other. Therefore, the world called 'King Wu cut down the silk, before the song and after the dance' also. "A burst of song and dance caused the vanguard of the King of Shang to revolt against Ge, the whole army collapsed, and Yin Shang perished. It's a bit funny to say, but it's not surprising at all. The song and dance of the Ba people, of course, is not a mesmerizing sound such as "Yushu Backyard Flower" that will make the Shang army degenerate, but a kind of battle formation, war dance, which may be related to pre-war sacrifices, and has the effect of "growing one's own morale and destroying the enemy's prestige". Coupled with the fact that the Ba people are "possessive of ghosts and gods", it may be inevitable that the gods of war and fashion will make ghosts, otherwise how can they be worthy of the title of "divine soldiers"? But the meaning of "divine soldier" is certainly much more than that.
Soon after Qin merged with Bashu, there were white tigers running rampant in Qinba, injuring more than a thousand people, and King Qin Zhao, "is a re-recruited country with those who can kill white tigers, Yi Wanjia, and Jin Shuai called it." Under the heavy reward, the Banyu Barbarians "Liao Zhongyao, He Shoot the Tiger, Qin Jing, etc., are made of white bamboo crossbows, climb the stairs to shoot the White Tiger, and get rid of the disease. "Liao Zhongyao and other barbarian warriors made great contributions to eradicating the tiger plague, and king Qin Zhao's general order commended them." The carved stone is the covenant: 'Qin Sinyi, lose the Yellow Dragon (should be "Long", a pair of jade engraved with dragon patterns used in the great drought and rain); Yi committed crimes against Qin, and lost one bell of sake (equivalent to more than three hundred and ten kilograms today)'. "The Covenant provides for a preferential national policy. Historical records such as the Huayang Guozhi record that Qin adopted a preferential policy of paying two-thirds less tax than the Han people to the Ba tribes that did not oppose them, and each household could be exempted from paying a tax on a field, 10 wives could be exempted from the poll tax, and even killing people could be exempted from death by paying money. "Forty years old." Therefore, the plate is also called "the benefactor".
Later, Ban Yu Man "also from (Han) Gao Zu Ding Qin has meritorious service, sharp qi joyful dance." Di ShanZhi (帝善之), who said: 'This Song of the Martial King's Harvest', is what makes musicians learn it, and now it is called 'Bayu Dance'. Since then, the "Song of Cutting Silk" has been named "Bayu Dance", from the folk to the court, from the Lower Riba people to the Yangchun White Snow, from the beginning of the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, becoming the only Chinese cultural treasure in history that has been appreciated by the government and the public and has a long history. It is also the soul of Sichuan opera's "changing face", which is a digression.
Under the leadership of the great general Fan Duo, the Ban yu barbarians marched all the way to the top, breaking through the bamboo, helping Gao Zu to establish the Han Dynasty in the Three Qins, and was called "the Spartans of the East" by the West.
During the Two Han Dynasties, Ban Yu man made many military achievements for the imperial court, and twice broke the Qiang rebellion, so that the Qiang people called it "divine soldiers" and did not dare to go south. Later, the Che general Feng Qi (宕渠人) rebelled against the Wuling barbarian rebels, and also relied on the strong Banlin barbarian army. According to the Book of Later Han and the Biography of Nan Man, The Shangcheng Bao of Hanzhong was extremely praised for the deeds of "Ban Yan Man", and he said to Emperor Huan: "Ban Yan seven surnames, shoot the white tiger, make meritorious contributions to the ancestors, restore to the righteous, his people are brave and fierce, good at military warfare." In Xiyong Junior High School, the Qiang people entered the Hanchuan, the counties were destroyed, and they were saved by the Banlin, and the Qiang died, so they were called 'Divine Soldiers'. Qiang people are afraid, pass on the language of the generations, do not return to the south. In the second year of Jianhe, Qiangfu entered the country and destroyed it. The former general Feng Qinan marched south to Wuling, and also waited for Ban Yu to succeed. Near the county of Yizhou, Taishou Li Yan also used the plate to negotiate and peacefully."
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling, Zhang Heng, and Zhang Lu's ancestors and grandsons developed the Wudou Rice Road in Badi, which was quite popular with Ban Yu. Later, Zhang Lu divided Hanzhong and attacked Ba County, infiltrating his forces into the land of Sanba to counter Liu Zhang in Shuzhong, that is, with the support of the Ba and Qi chiefs Pu Hu, Du Hao, and Yuan Yue. Pu Hu and Du Hao later surrendered to Cao Cao together with Zhang Lu and were given the titles of Padang Taishou and Brazilian Taishou respectively.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Wang Ping mentions that after Pu Hu and Du Hao surrendered to Cao Cao, they once accompanied Cao Cao to Luoyang, and Wang Ping, a benefactor of the Tangqu Canal, also went with him, and later Wang Ping surrendered to Liu Bei during the Battle of Hanzhong. Wang Ping and his fellow warriors performed well in Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, and twice in the Battle of Jieting and the Battle of Halo City successfully resisted the attacks of the Wei general Zhang Gao with inferior troops. After Zhuge Liang's death, the northern general Wang Pingzhen of Jihan Zhen guarded Hanzhong for more than ten years, and his classic battle of Xingshi annihilated tens of thousands of Wei troops, which directly led to a sharp decline in Cao Shuang's prestige, and was crushed by Sima Yi in the Gaopingling Rebellion and fell. In the Battle of Xingshi, Wang Ping led the barbarian warriors of the same clan in the mountains of LuoGu, singing long songs and dancing war dances in unison, and the brass drum emitted a deafening clanging sound, and the "divine soldiers" descended from heaven, and the Gods were haunted, and the Wei army was terrified and fled into the wilderness.
Zhuge Liang also selected three thousand crossbowmen in Ban Yan Man, and it seems that the world-famous "Zhuge Lian Crossbow" is also a masterpiece of Ban Yan Man.
The good fighting of the barbarians is inseparable from their advanced weapons and technological superiority. Judging from the ancient tombs of Baqu excavated by archaeology, each tomb has bronze weapons, including swords, spears, dumplings, clusters, roofs, hooks, etc. Among them, Changhu San wore the tiger pattern within the square, which was called by archaeologists as the most sophisticated weapon of the same kind in Shu. The long sword shaped like a willow leaf is still very sharp, which shows the bravery and strength of the people, advocates force, and also reflects the excellent smelting and casting technology of the people. The length of the weapon of the benefactors is indicative, indicating that they are good at melee combat. In order to change the flexibility of mountain combat, most of them wear leather armor and hold light plate lintels, which greatly improves the combat and protection capabilities. Judging from the legend of the shooting of the White Tiger, banyuman also has a good quality crossbow and crossbowmen. In addition, compared with the general mountain peoples, the Banyu barbarians are more disciplined and better at fighting, which is also an important reason why they can defeat the Qiang and Wuling barbarians.
