On the fourth day of the first lunar month in 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang took the throne as emperor in Yingtian, the state name Daming, Hongwu for three years, Zhu Yuanzhang on the merits of rewards, the great seal of meritorious service, only six people, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Deng Yu, who often met chun to die of illness the previous year, and his son Chang Mao attacked the knight.
Chang Yuchun was implicated in the "Blue Jade Case" and the "Jing Difficulty", and in the first year of Yongle, he was charged with the fourth street of Hexi, which belonged to Lin'anwei in Yunnan.
During the Ming Dynasty, because of his admiration for Taizu's merits in the world, he issued an edict to give preferential treatment to the descendants of "Taimiao worthy of all the meritorious heroes", and often met the Spring Descendants often fu from Yunnan to summon fu, and appointed Nanjing Jinyi Weishi as the commanding envoy, and during the Jiajing period, he also made his descendants Hou.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chang Yanling attacked the Marquis of Huaiyuan and led thousands of people of the Ding clan to train troops to serve the king. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he resigned his official and returned home to the hidden mountains, not serving the Manchu Qing, and it can also be regarded as the name of the founding father of the ming dynasty in the ancestors.
Spring statues are often encountered
It can be said that at the time of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the performance of the people who often met the Spring Queen was more dignified than that of Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei, and Tang Guozuo, the Marquis of Lingbi, who were also after Xun Gui.
The descendants of the Ming Dynasty's Xungui were killed at the time of the fall of the country or because Dashun (Li Zicheng) entered Beijing, or because the Manchu Qing entered the Central Plains and was abolished and demoted to a shuren, and very few people could be reused by the Manchu Qing, and Chang Dachun, a descendant of Chang Yuchun, was an exception.
In the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong (1792), Chang Dachun was born in Hengyang County, the capital of Hengzhou, and his father Chang Yinghu entered the shi and the first in the fourteenth year of Jiaqing, laying the foundation for the revival of the Chang family.
In the third year of Daoguang, the thirty-one-year-old Chang DaChun was admitted to the Jinshi and was awarded the title of Shu Jishi (庶吉士), a double jinshi of the Hengyang Chang family.
Chang Dachun's career was relatively smooth, and In the twenty years of Daoguang, Dachun had already taken care of the position of Fujian envoy (from Erpin) and became one of the feudal officials.
After that, he served in many provinces, and in 1852 Chang Dachun went further and became the Governor of Hubei of Zhengerpin.
But no one could have imagined that just the year before, the peasant uprising that broke out in Guangxi would kill Chang Dachun's family, and this uprising was called the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement."
Taiping heavenly kingdom
In June 1852, the Taiping Army left Guangxi from Jeonju and entered the territory of Hunan, followed by Lianke City, and in August of the same year, the Taiping Army began to besiege the important town of Changsha in Hunan.
The two sides fought under changsha for three months, the Taiping army was never able to conquer the city, and unfortunately lost the "Western King" Xiao Chaogui during the battle, while the Rescue Qing army continued to come.
In order to avoid being encircled by the Qing army again, the Taiping Army followed Hong Xiuquan's operational policy: charging straight forward, following the river to the east, skimming the castle, sacrificing key points, focusing on Jinling, taking it as the foundation, and resolutely withdrawing from Changsha to continue north.
March into the map
What is even more frightening is that the Taiping Army has grown stronger and stronger under the siege and interception of all the way, and according to records, the Taiping Army in Daozhou alone has recruited 20,000 fresh troops.
In November of the same year, the Taiping Army conquered Yuezhou, and was supplemented by a large number of warships and strategic materials, and even the artillery left in Yuezhou during Wu Sangui's "San Fan Rebellion" was also included in the Pocket of the Taiping Army, which established a considerable marine division based on this.
After the Taiping army conquered Yuezhou, it immediately advanced by water, and the army was directly approaching Wuchang, and although Chang Dachun had been reappointed as the governor of Shanxi at this time, the military situation was in a hurry, and it was too late to rush to Shanxi to take office, so he could only stay in Wuchang to build a city to defend the enemy.
Attack Wuchang
At this time, the Taiping Army had long since shaken off the embarrassment of being surrounded and suppressed by the Qing army, with hundreds of thousands of troops, thousands of warships, grain and grass, and sufficient ordnance.
In contrast, the Qing army, Wuchang city strength is empty, all the reinforcements hesitate to advance, only guangxi governor Xiang Rong all the way to pursue the Taiping army, came to Wuchang city but due to limited troops can only play a role in leading.
Hubei Inspector Chang Dachun tried all kinds of ways to motivate the soldiers guarding the city, such as: those who killed long hair, rewarded with twenty-two silver, and destroyed pontoon bridges, rewarded with five thousand silver, but with little effect.
On the fourth day of December, the Taiping Army dug tunnels to collapse the city wall, and although Xiang Rong tried hard to rescue him, it was still difficult to prevent the fall of Wuchang.
When the Taiping army entered the city, Liang Xingyuan, the governor of Hubei Province, Ruiyuan, and The Viceroy Shuangfu were all killed, Inspector Chang Dachun committed suicide and martyrdom, and a total of 16 people from the family were martyred in wuchang City.
Taiping Army
When the imperial court heard of Chang Dachun's martyrdom, it ordered the governor to be given a "Wenjie" and a special shrine to be built in Hubei to show the intention of loyal soldiers.
In the past, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, Chang Yuchun, was martyred for the Manchu Qing, and people could not help but sigh, but from another point of view, Chang Dachun ate the king's Lu and was loyal to the king, and it was also considered to be the way of being a subject.
