Fight against na song
Today, on the edge of the lotus pond in Yuanjiang County, you can also see the stone stele of "The Martyrdom of Xu Mingchen" erected by the Yuanjiang County Government in 2011, and the back of which is embedded with the stone stele of "Former Ming Dynasty Great General Xu Mingchen General Cheng Ren" donated by Cai Yi of the Governor's Office of Yunnan in 1915 and written by Yuan Jiagu. Xu Mingchen was originally a Shiping man, and it is reasonable to say that he had little to do with Yuanjiang, but in the Nasong anti-Qing resistance more than three hundred years ago, he played a pivotal role and wrote a tragic and magnificent stroke for the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties in Yuanjiang.
Cai Yi gave Yuan Jiagu an inscription
The full text of the inscription "Former Ming Dynasty Great General Xu Mingchen General Chengren Office" written by Cai Yi and Yuan Jiagu is as follows: "The public secret of the famous minister, the word see also, the Shiping people, the former Ming Right Army Governor Tongzhi, hang the seal of General Ming Huaide." King Fugui went to Burma to revolt against the Dian Dynasty, with the intention of joining Li Dingguo and the tu prefect Na song three roads to attack the soldier Wu Sangui. When the incident was leaked, the soldiers were defeated and the city fell, and the whole family of Na Song was burned. Gong dived into the Zi Tong Guan Pond and breathed through the lotus pole. Revived by the three Gui soldiers, they entered and obtained it, so they suffered from it, and Shi Shunzhi read the eighth day of the winter and december of the sixteenth year of Shunzhi. Fang jin republic of China was founded, admired its loyalty, and wrote a book to zhizhi. Cai Yi, the former governor of yunnan, was appointed as the head of the Economic and Boundary Bureau, and Yuan Jiagu of Tongyi paid homage to him. Jidan, March 11, 1944 of the Republic of China. ”
Reading the stele, we can see that the person who advocated the erection of the monument was General Cai Yi, a famous military figure and patriot in modern times. He and Li Gengen, the general office of the Yunnan Daowutang, launched the "Chongjiu Uprising" that shocked China and foreign countries. The rebels established a new regime, and Cai Yi was appointed as the governor of Yunnan. In 1913, the fruits of the Xinhai Revolution were stolen by Yuan Shikai, and Cai Was transferred to Beijing. In 1915, Cai Yi and Liang Qichao plotted against Yuan, sneaked out of Beijing along the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and returned to Kunming via Mongolia, and in December organized the Nationalist army in Yunnan to raise an army to beg Yuan. After Yuan's death, Cai Yi served as the governor of Sichuan. In the same year, Cai Yi, who was then the governor of Yunnan, heard about Xu Mingchen's deeds of resisting the Qing Dynasty and was deeply moved by his feat of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and supporting the Ming Dynasty", so he indignantly erected a monument for Xu Mingchen's "martyrdom into a ren" to carry forward the national spirit that Xu Mingchen could sing and cry.

Take "KuangFu Sheji" as its own responsibility
The Xu Mingchen in the stele was a native of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, originally a student of Shiping Prefecture during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, because he saw the turmoil in the world, he was worried, and angrily threw himself into the pen, and once accompanied the governor of the capital to Hubei and Shuixi, Guizhou, and other places to conquer the peasant rebel army, and was promoted to the rank of general soldier and the right governor of Tongzhi with military merit, and later hung up the seal of general Huaide because he led the division to qin wang.
In the autumn of the sixteenth year of Shunzhi (1659), the Yongli Emperor fled to Yunnan in defeat. Na Song united with former Ming generals such as Bo Zhu Yang'en, general Gao Yingfeng, Shiping general Xu Mingchen, and Tusi Long Zanyang, "opposing Qing Fuming and Kuangfu Sheji", and jointly resisted the Qing army and contained Wu Sangui outside Shiping. Wu Sangui oversaw his division to Shiping, and Tusi Longrong led his son-in-law Mu Xianzhong to the front to ask for surrender, and the strength of na song suddenly decreased, becoming a trend of disintegration, losing the battle, and even attacking and defending.
When Wu Sangui's troops approached Lin'an City, Xu Mingchen led his troops to withdraw from Lin'an City and went straight to the Yuan River via Shiping to meet Nasong. Then Wu Sangui surrounded the city of Yuanjiangfu with heavy troops, and Wu Zi had many generals, vainly trying to force Na Song to submit to military prestige, and adopted the method of making wishes and inducing surrenders, and shot the surrender book on the arrow into the city wall, enlightening Na Song to sacrifice Xu Mingchen and Gao Yingfeng's second general, Yongbao Nashi's father and son hereditary Houlu.

Furious, Na Song was so angry that he tore the book of abduction into pieces, climbed the city tower and shot out of the city with a book bundled with arrows, denounced Wu Sangui's despicable deeds, counted the heinous crimes after Wu rebelled against the pass, and signed the eight characters on the cover of "Shanhaiguan Wu Sangui opened and demolished", indicating the meaning of "loyal subjects do not do anything to the two kings" - "I and Xu and Gao are two generals, united in the Ming dynasty, honor and disgrace, life and death... How can it be equated with you Wu Reverse! "Scolding Wu Sangui dog blood sprinkler, body skinless, landless self-respect, embarrassed." Wu Sangui became angry and opened fire to bombard the city. The song father and son commanded the subordinates, and the Qing army engaged the short soldiers, and the battle was endless, and finally because the enemy was outnumbered, "the soldiers and people were killed in many alleys." In march, Na Song witnessed "cannibalism" and could not save the defeat, "instead of tying up his hands, it is better to martyr the country with his body", so he and Zi tao, Di Shanhua and other family members went upstairs and set themselves on fire. It was the winter of the fifteenth year of Qing Shunzhi.
Fight with all your might
When Zhongyi Was foot in the year
At the last moment when The martyrdom of the father and son of the three armies and the loss of the generals of the three armies, Xu Mingchen, the commander-in-chief of Shiping, Pi Xiong, the commander of the Yuanjiang Army, and his son-in-law Zhao Mo, were touched by the righteousness of the mighty mountains and rivers of that Song, and did not abandon the city and lose away, but still fought with the Qing army to the death. In the face of the Qing army that broke the city, Xu Mingchen sneaked into the bottom of the zitongguan lotus pond in the city, breathed with a hollow lotus pole, and temporarily avoided the Qing soldiers' front, in order to try to make a comeback. Wu Sangui led his troops to search everywhere and finally found nothing. Just when he was wondering, the Qing soldiers found that the lotus in the lotus pond was moving without wind, and seemed to feel that there were people in the water, so they shot into the pool with random arrows, and when they saw the water gushing with red, they knew that someone had dived into the water to hide. The Qing soldiers fired random arrows, and Xu Mingchen was immediately shot by arrows and died in the pool.
Pi Xiong, the commander-in-chief of the Yuanjiang Dynasty, and his son-in-law Zhao Mo were bound by the Qing soldiers in a bloody battle, and Wu Sangui persuaded them to surrender, but Pi and Zhao "did not obey their fate with their backs on their backs", resolutely "asked for a paper book and desperate words", and walked to the execution ground with their heads held high. There are thousands of people who died, and there is the site of "Ten Thousand Tombs" at the foot of Qixia Mountain on the east bank of the yuan river.
The Qing Ji Liuqi "Ming Ji Nanluo" records: "Ming Yan Bo Zhu Yang'en, general Gao Yingfeng, general Xu Mingchen, and Toshi general Long Zanyang all surrendered before they were restored to the Yuan River, and Xu Nei should be determined." On September 21, Sangui sent his division from Yunnan to Shiping Prefecture, and Long Rong, the chief soldier of Tusi, led Mu Xianzhong, the son of the Duke of Qianguo, to the army. Na Song and other negative Gu Yuanjiang, on the sixth day of The first month of October, Sangui led manchus and Han soldiers besieged the city; on the sixth day of November, the Yuanjiang River was broken, and the Song He room set itself on fire. ”
On the edge of the lotus pond in Yuanjiang County, there is a stone stele of "The Martyrdom of Xu Mingchen" erected by the Yuanjiang County Government in 2011, and the back is embedded with the stone stele of "Former Ming Dynasty General Xu Mingchen General Chengren" written by Cai Yi of the Governor's Office of Yunnan in 1915 and written by Yuan Jiagu.
In the face of a strong enemy, Na Song and Xu Mingchen struggled to resist the enemy, and after several bloody battles, they were finally defeated because they were outnumbered, and wrote a tragic and magnificent history that could be sung and wept. The descendant Liu Dawu felt this and once wrote a poem praising the "Lotus Pond Song":
Old Akira Ya Akisha, Strong Grass Out of Yamazawa.
Lotus dry breath, a breath of the national pulse.
Destiny cannot live, Underwater Bichen Festival!
Another Yi person, Peng Songsen, has a poem hanging:
The lonely city dared to resist the wang shi, and the building could be a wooden branch.
Exhausted soldiers and people in the street war, when the loyal foot kuang.
Sandworms are full of heroes, and nobles and lowly are all in one place.
Who is hanging on to the cold food Qingming? Every year the ghost cries sunset red!
