He was five years old, able to write poetry at the age of nine, joined the army at the age of fifteen, and martyred at the age of seventeen.
He was defeated and arrested, and the Qing court sent the traitor Hong Chengzu to persuade him to surrender, he was righteous and righteous, and Hong Chengzu was dumbfounded.
He preferred to die unyieldingly and eventually became a generation of heroic names.
He is the young hero Xia Wanchun at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Xia Wanchun was the son of the late Ming dynasty scholar Xia Yunyi and a disciple of Chen Zilong. Born in the fourth year of Chongzhen (1631). After his father and his division failed to resist the Qing Dynasty and were martyred in the water, the fifteen- and sixteen-year-old Xia Wanchun took over the banner of righteousness and contacted all parties with the intention of raising it again. However, he was eventually hunted down and killed in Nanjing in the first year of Zhu Yourong's yong calendar (1647), at the age of seventeen.
Xia Wanchun was influenced by his father's ideas of loyalty and righteousness and fame from an early age, and was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and did not change his mind until his death. At the age of fourteen, he followed his father to fight against the Qing army and fought in many places. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, his father Xia Yunyi was martyred, and he followed his teacher Chen Zilong to continue to resist the Qing army. Defeated and captured at the age of sixteen.
At that time, Li Zicheng's subordinate Jiang Wu Sangui was slashed and robbed the beauty Chen Yuanyuan. Wu Sangui opened shanhaiguan and released qing soldiers into the customs, and Li Zicheng quickly withdrew from the Beijing division after being defeated. Xia Wanchun and his father Xia Yunyi joined forces with Chen Zilong to fight against the Qing soldiers moving south. At that time, Xia Wanchun, who was at least fourteen years old, showed the maturity and flesh and blood that an adult possessed.
In 1647, the young Xia Wanchun was arrested by the Qing soldiers because he was informed by the traitors. Later, he was taken to Nanjing, where he was held for eighty days. What is admirable is that the young Xia Wanchun is brilliant and wise, and he regards death as a homecoming. Never compromised with the enemy, and at the time of the last interrogation in the lobby, sitting on the high case was the famous Hong Chengyu. Hong Chengzu had long heard of the prestige of the first prodigy in the south of Xia's Chun River. In his heart, he also wanted to recruit this peerless prodigy into his own hands, hoping that he could serve the Qing court. However, to Hong Chengzuo's unthinkable expectation, the sixteen-year-old anti-Qing prodigy obviously knew that it was Hong Chengzuo sitting above, but pointed at him and scolded: I know that there is a Mr. Hong Hengjiu in my Ming Dynasty, who is ambitious and heroic, and he was a hero haojie, who was a pioneer in the Songshan War, and finally martyred the country with his body and shook the world. I admire his loyalty, although I am young, but I killed to serve the country, how can I fall behind him? (Hong Hengjiu is Hong Chengyu)
Xia Wanchun's words made Hong Chengyu, who was sitting on it, laugh at everything, and made him feel like a needle felt, full of cold sweat, not knowing how to be good. Ya Gong thought that Xia Wanchun really didn't know Hong Chengzu, so he said: Do you know who is sitting in the hall? He is Lord Hong Chengyu. Xia Wanchun sighed and said, "Mr. Heng Jiu (Hong Chengzuzi) has been dead for a long time, and the world has not heard of it, once the seven altars of imperial sacrifice, the Son of Heaven himself came, tears filled the dragon's face, and the courtiers whimpered." What a rebel, dare to pretend to be loyal!"
After speaking, Xia Wanchun pointed at Hong Chengzu's big beast and scolded non-stop, and Hong Chengzu had a dead face, no expression on his face, and was very depressed, and ordered Xia Wanchun to be executed. Xia Wanchun became the youngest loyal martyr in ancient Chinese history.
Before he died, he wrote a letter to his wife in prison, expressing the apologies of his wife who was only in the "twenty-nine period", we were only married in March, and we suffered a big change, I went to resist the Qing, and you had to go back to your own home to live - the new marriage can not have fun, I am a husband, it is really not good. This farewell letter, which is still reading to this day, still brings tears to one's eyes.
Boy Boy Lang Hero Courage! Blowing away the wind and smoke of three hundred years, your dew-like life is fixed in the west market of Nanjing, the streets of early autumn.
The once brilliant talent, the ambition to serve the country, like autumn leaves withered. Five-year-old chanting history, seven-year-old poetry, early wisdom prodigy fame beijing master, befriending haoxiong, traveling through the mountains and rivers, family lineage, fatherly love and motherly love, growing up on the road to the wind and smooth, smoke rises, prosperity, the country is broken, the family is destroyed, stealing the floating life, in the wind and rain, it is necessary to pull up the banner of rejuvenation, follow the footsteps of the national righteous soldiers to resist the Qing, the father's martyrdom, can not stop your determination to move forward, homesickness, visiting the mother at the doorstep.
The betrayal of the traitor, from then on, the double door of life and death, tossed the prisoner's road, met the old best friend, and was surprised to see the apostates. Above the lobby, the confrontation between Hong Chengzu, the high-ranking official Houlu, regarded as dung, the will forged by steel has not yielded to the torment of torture, and the blood and tears flowed and turned into a shocking famous article.
In the end, the Qing court informed Xia Wanchun of the crime of "Tong Hai Kou as foreign aid, JieHu As an internal response, secret article Chen Songshu, and recommended the title of military attaché." When he was about to be executed, Xia Chun stood without kneeling, his look unchanged, and the executioner was frightened and trembling when he saw it, and did not dare to face it squarely, and after a long time, he took the knife and cut it off from his throat.
