The Datang army, whose genes are full of "martial spirit", has not given up. The 7,000 Jiangnan navy who came to reinforce pursued all the way and completely defeated the Japanese navy who tried to occupy the Korean peninsula!
From then on, Japan finally realized who was the master of East Asia, locked the country for 30 years, and humbly sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to learn from it.
This is/kloc-the famous "Battle of Baijiangkou" more than 0/000 years ago, which laid the Millennium peace in East Asia!
For this protracted war, people can't help asking, why did Japan, a tiny place, dare to confront it with the great prestige of the Tang Dynasty and the strength of the country? Aren't they afraid of the prosperous Tang Dynasty?
Things should start with Tang Gaozong Li Zhi's serious illness and Wu Zetian's second resignation.
In 662 AD, Wu Zetian did not listen to politics and presided over the "Koguryo Second Sign". The Great Tang Dynasty unanimously called on Wu Zetian to step down.
Wu Zetian, who was pregnant, was not convinced, and even fought for power with Li Zhi, who had recovered from a serious illness. After an emperor, they separated and took turns to listen to politics. Fortunately, Wu Zetian, who was in labor, had to retreat behind the scenes for physical reasons, and Li Zhi was able to regain the imperial power.
Due to the failure of the second expedition to Koguryo, in order to clean up the mess left by Wu Zetian, Li Zhi ordered the troops from the Eastern Expedition to return, including Tang Jun stationed in Baekje.
Sue and Xue were ordered to retreat, but only Liu, the administrative officer who kept Baekje, disagreed.
Because, in order to help Silla, a vassal state, not be invaded by Baekje and Koguryo, the Tang Dynasty finally laid Baekje and merged with Silla. If Tang Jun withdraws completely, not only will Baekje immediately restore its territory, but Silla will also fall back into the encirclement of Koguryo and Baekje. As a big country, has Datang ever broken its promise to vassal states? How can we be worthy of the Tang Dynasty warriors who died in battle?
Your life will not be affected when you are away!
Li Zhi agreed to Liu's insistence, leaving him 4,000 Datang warriors to drive.
At this time, Baekje rebelled everywhere, and the new king Fu Yufeng rebuilt Baekje with the help of Japanese money, and established Liucheng as the capital. Chang Zhi with black teeth and other Baekje generals who had surrendered to Tang Jun also rose up and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, taking refuge in Fu Yufeng.
Due to the large-scale evacuation of Tang Jun, Baekje, with a population of 4 million, set off a wave of "saving the country". With the help of Japan, an army of more than 50,000 people was formed to compete with the 4,000 Tang Jun led by Liu.
Is there room under the sofa for others to breathe?
Although Liu is a civil servant, he is good at managing internal affairs and winning people's hearts.
In order to completely dispel Fu Yufeng's restoration ambition, help the Baekje people and raise government soldiers, Liu quickly made a large number of Baekje people change their minds. Liu took advantage of the situation and took the opportunity to recover lost ground. With four thousand Tang soldiers, four thousand government soldiers, and fifty thousand Baekje soldiers defeated.
Fu Yufeng, who thought that most of Tang Bing's retreat would restore the country, was anxious. He quickly turned to Japan for help and promised to share Silla with Japan after defeating Tang Bing.
Silla is a vassal state of Datang, facing the Sea of Japan.
Japanese emperors and nobles have long coveted the Korean peninsula because of the earthquakes in the Japanese archipelago, which is why they spare no effort to support Baekje. In order to occupy Silla, Emperor Tianzhi of Japan resolutely decided to do his best to send troops to Baekje.
After more than half a year's preparation, Japan finally assembled 1000 ships capable of crossing the sea, and 40,000 battle-hardened warriors and soldiers brazenly sent troops.
Japan aims at the opportunity to send troops!
At this time, in the Tang Dynasty, the internal emperors fell out of harmony. In order to compete for power, Wu Zetian did not hesitate to blow her own dirty linen. Wu Zetian made Li Zhi angry and had a relapse. Externally, the Tang Dynasty faced a powerful offensive from Tubo, and Tuguhun, a vassal tribe, was even annexed by Tubo. The Tang dynasty, which had been militaristic for several years, had no spare capacity to fight again, so it could only hold its nose and endure it.
Seeing that the Tang Dynasty was so "weak", there were few Baekje Tang Jun, and the Japanese Emperor Tianzhi could no longer sit still. In mid-August, 663, he officially sent troops.
Since the failure of Wu Zetian's "Second Expedition to Koguryo", Su, Che Bi, Xue and Pei Xingjian left Baekje and Koguryo and went to Tielebu, Anxi and Qidan to guard the border of the Tang Dynasty.
Only five products were left in Baekje to guard Liu, and the whereabouts of the king who surrendered and made meritorious deeds were unknown.
Such petty officials and officials are naturally not valued by Emperor Tianzhi of Japan!
Liu was an envoy of the Tang Dynasty. He was falsely accused by Li Yifu for investigating the bribery case of Prime Minister Li Yifu, and was reduced to Qingzhou secretariat.
In 660 AD, Li Zhixian levied Koguryo, and Li Yifu falsely accused Liu, asking Wu Zetian to blow the pillow wind and kill it.
Fortunately, Li Zhi, a "wife-doting maniac", was sober at that time. He just cut Liu's post and quietly sent him to Baekje in an attempt to "redeem oneself by good deeds".
However, due to the lack of Liu's logistical support, although the Tang Dynasty occupied Baekje, it failed to win Goguryeo one after another and had to leave angrily.
In 662 AD, Wu Zetian listened to politics and intended to establish prestige through the "Koguryo Second Sign".
Unfortunately, the end of this crusade was even worse. Not only did it fail to win Goguryeo, but it aroused the public anger of Baekje, causing the Baekje people who had surrendered to turn their backs. In times of crisis, Li Zhi appointed Wei Liu Baekje as the bodyguard and Liu Renyuan as the chief. With the joint efforts of the two people, Baekje tends to be stable, which ensures the smooth retreat of South Road Tang Jun to China.
However, Liu didn't want to leave Baekje and vowed to turn this place into a barrier to the east of Datang!
Liu Renyuan, originally a surrender faction of Xiongnu, changed his name and surname after returning to Tang Dynasty, and participated in the war of destroying Xue Yantuo and Pingxi Turks in Tang Dynasty. The general has a conscience and is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but he is also good at sizing up the situation.
Wang was dismissed by Li Zhi for lying about the imperial edict when he teamed up with Cheng to pacify the West Turkistan, and sent to the Liaodong front for nothing. This is also a veteran who is ashamed and brave. It's a pity that he has long lost the desire to make contributions.
It is like this that three Tang officials who were almost marginalized by the central government formed the command core of Baekje Tang Jun!
Fu Yufeng, the puppet king of Baekje, colluded with the Japanese. Liu Guiren knew this for a long time, and asked Li Zhi to transfer a navy division stationed in Qingzhou six months ago.
The navy in the Tang Dynasty was different from that in the Song and Ming Dynasties, and consisted of soldiers and sailors. Sailors are only responsible for operating ships, not for the formal establishment of the navy. Only those soldiers who have undergone strict water training can be called navy division.
During the Sui Dynasty, China's shipbuilding industry was very developed, and it was even better in the Tang Dynasty.
The naval vessels in the Tang Dynasty were composed of different kinds. Frontal battles are building ships, fighting ships, and walking. Submarine attacks are Meng Chong, yachts, and "Water Ghost" soldiers who can chisel ships underwater.
As for combat weapons, there are far and near. Melee weapons include hook crossbows, and long-range weapons include winch crossbows, revolvers and catapults (poles).
After this navy division arrived in Baekje, it was transferred to the coast by Liu and practiced tactics day and night. The remaining 6,000 people were incorporated into the Marine Corps to eliminate and suppress the rebellion.
Facing tens of thousands of Japanese navy, Liu Renyuan has been persuading Liu to quit the Tang Dynasty and not to "throw eggs at stones". Liu Renyuan is not duplicitous, but worried that he will be liquidated by Prime Minister Li Yifu together with Liu.
Although Liu is a scholar, he strongly disagrees. He drew his sword and cut off a corner of the table. He said to him, "Liu ate the salary of the Tang Dynasty and worked for it. Although he died, he had no regrets! If you are afraid, you can retreat! "
Words are said to this top, and the king didn't also the way, can only follow Liu Yi road "crackdown".
Fortunately, just three months ago, Li Yifu was finally exiled by determined Li Zhi. At this point, I am willing to help Liu fight the Japanese army wholeheartedly!
Just as the Datang Center received Liu Zengbing, thousands of Japanese warships had crossed the sea, bypassing the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula and coming to the Yellow Sea. At the same time, Baekje and Japan's 20,000 ground troops began to gather on the land in the south.
Wu Zetian, who listened to politics, couldn't make up her mind whether to reinforce.
Li Zhi, though sickly, insisted on agreeing to Liu's request and urgently mobilized more than 7,000 people from the Jiangnan Navy to reinforce him.
According to the opinions of the generals whose muscles are full of fighting genes in Datang, of course, I hope to fight hard!
Unfortunately, the real situation of Datang does not allow it. The Crusade failed, the Tiele and Qidan tribes rebelled constantly, and the Tubo became more aggressive after the annexation of Tuyuhun ... Years of belligerence made Datang look like a strong man who lost his strength, and he was even less able to reinforce Liu!
Even so, Liu said that the troops are sufficient.
Yes, when did the Tang Dynasty warriors who crossed East and West Asia rely on more to win less?
On August 17, Liu led 3000 Tang Navy men from the river to Baijiangkou, pretending to attack Zhouliucheng.
Baijiangkou, also known as Baicun Estuary (now Jinjiang Estuary of South Korea), is only a hundred miles away from Zhouliucheng, the capital of Baekje. The Tang navy deployed troops here, forcing Japan to fight here. Otherwise, Tang Jun can stay in the city until next week, meet the army, and wipe out the last power of the pseudo-Wang Fu Yufeng!
Although Liu was a scholar, he had never commanded a war, but wasn't the official of the Tang Dynasty a legend in that period?
Before the war, Liu had mastered the main parameters of Japanese warships.
This is a warship with a low side and a high waist, which is several times smaller than that of the Tang Dynasty, and is similar to a bucket boat. It is about 50m long,10m wide and 5-6m high. It moves relatively flexibly, but it can't help the collision between buildings and ships.
Datang Building is about120m long and 20m wide. There are 3-4 floors above, and the height of the top floor can reach 20 meters. There are winch crossbows and trebuchets at the bow and stern respectively, and small crossbows and revolvers are arranged on both sides.
Japanese warships can hardly run away once they enter the 50-foot range of the Datang construction ship Fiona Fang; Even if you can get close, it is difficult to attack a ship 4-5 times the height!
Liu has seven warships, 10 more warships and more than 20 warships and Zou Ge. According to mature tactics, the big ship is in front, the bucket boat protects the wings, and Ge is hidden, waiting for the opportunity to go out.
Know yourself and know yourself, and you will win every battle.
In the early morning of August 27th, Liu was waiting for sleep on the floor boat and saw the white sail rising from the South China Sea. Judging from the size of the warship, it was a Japanese warship, so it beat gongs and drums to meet the enemy.
The seven ships set sail in three columns, and Liu Zhenshou, whose hair and beard were gray, personally beat gongs and drums to meet him. More than 50 sailors of the Tang navy plunged into the Japanese fleet like sharp wedges!
The first attack was the Japanese commander Park Seo-jin, who led 1 10,000 Japanese invaders and more than 200 warships to ride the wind and waves.
However, hundreds of feet away from the Tang Jun Navy, Park Jin-shih found that Datang's ship was several times larger than its warships, and it was unattainable!
This can't blame Japan for not doing enough intelligence, but when their emperor called on these Japanese soldiers to invade Baekje, he told them that "the Tang Dynasty is weak and the nation can be bullied." As a result, Japan, which used shipbuilding in the Eastern Han Dynasty, came excitedly with an antique double sail.
On the battlefield, Park Shijin realized that he had been cheated, so he urgently discussed tactics and tactics with the left and right sides.
According to the most primitive tactical thought of the Japanese invaders: since you are big and strong, I will fight with many people and make you tired! After the Japanese army quickly reached an opinion, it planned to divide into several teams and take turns to attack the Datang Navy.
Park Shizhen chose the right direction, but misjudged his opponent!
At present, when the Japanese warships are still struggling with how to split up, Datang's ships have taken the lead in breaking into the ship group. Then, there was a boulder, a crossbow, a racket wrapped in cowhide, and countless fireballs and rockets soaked in oil ... Park Shitian Laijin, who had just given the detachment order, was suddenly shocked. In a short encounter, the Japanese army lost more than 20 warships, but the other side was unscathed. How to play this?
I have to admit that Japan's "Bushido Spirit" has a long history!
Despite the defeat in the first battle, Park Shizhen still thought that his side had not given full play to the "Bushido spirit", so he gritted his teeth and ordered the rest of the warships to take turns to attack and make a "moth to the fire"!
Seeing that the Japanese army changed its formation and tactics, Liu ordered the navy to divide into two teams and outflank the Japanese warships that took turns to attack.
If the Japanese invaders rush in, Liu will also consider retaining the fighting capacity to cope with the unexpected; However, in the face of Tang Jun, where shipbuilding and tactics are hundreds of years higher, the stupid Japanese aggressors adopted the tactics of "refueling". Isn't it a road to destruction?
In this way, the Japanese invaders swarmed, and Tang Jun methodically defeated and defeated the Japanese invaders who came to die!
Until sunset, the warships were less than half, and the remains of their own soldiers were all suspended on the sea. Parker Jin Shi finally gave the order to retreat.
The Japanese invaders had already been scared to retreat, and Liu Ye was exhausted, and never dared to chase them again!
The first battle between Tang Navy and Japanese Navy was 3000VS 10000, and Tang Jun won a total victory, with only 400 casualties!
On the other hand, in Japan, more than 100 warships were sunk and disabled, and more than 2000 Japanese pirates were buried in the sea!
Park Shijin was defeated, but Ye Mao, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, thought it was Park Shijin's incompetence and arranged for him and Fu Yufeng to fight Baijiangkou again the next day!
Because he didn't trust Japan's fighting power, Fu Yufeng also sneaked out of Zhouliucheng and sneaked into Japanese warships.
Although Ye Mao accused Park Shizhen of incompetence in front of everyone, he attached great importance to the defeat during the day. That night, he called Park Shijin and other generals who participated in the naval battle during the day, trying to make up for the loopholes in finding Tang Jun.
Although Tang Jun's ship is tall and powerful, it is huge, and it takes a long time to turn around and fight. As for the battleships and warships, although they are small in size, they are flexible in steering and advanced in weapons, which is precisely their greatest operational advantage over Japanese warships. If the Japanese army can attract Tang Jun's battleships and Zouge first, and give a devastating blow, then Tang Jun's battleships will not be terrible.
The question now is, how can we attract Dou's boat?
Park Shi-jin put forward his suggestion: first, challenge Tang Jun's warships and Meng Chong with a small number of warships, and then assemble a large number of warships and concentrate superior forces to annihilate them.
However, Tang Jun is tall, with a far view and a panoramic view of the sea. How do the Japanese set traps without being discovered?
Ye Mao thought for a long time and decided to divide the 1000 warship into two parts. The main warship is hidden by the river, and only a few warships are sent to fight. Once Tang Jun comes, hidden warships will gather in their nests to annihilate them. So repeatedly, don't believe Tang Jun don't fall for it!
In order to cope with the ships of the Tang Dynasty, Park Shijin also put forward a proposal of "doing death": fighting with the ships with ropes and chains and besieging them.
Obviously, the allusion of "burning Red Cliff" had not reached Japan at that time, otherwise, Park Jin-shih would not have given this seemingly clever but stupid idea.
Ye Mao accepted it gladly and thought it was a good idea!
The next morning, Fu Yufeng led more than 10,000 Baekje soldiers to attack along the coast, trying to disturb Liu's sight. On the sea, there are more than 100 warships left in Pucheng and Tianjin, which are divided into three echelons to attack the Datang Navy in turn.
Seeing that the Japanese army still used yesterday's tactics and didn't learn the lesson, Liu guessed that the other side was likely to have a conspiracy.
To be on the safe side, he urged Liu Renyuan and Wang on the shore to lead the land troops closer, while focusing on the front of the ship and slowly approaching the shore. He planned to build a defensive line based on the shore and observe the movement of the Japanese army.
At noon, the noisy Baekje soldiers on the shore were defeated by 6000 Datang troops, and the hidden place of Japanese warships was about to be exposed.
The commander-in-chief couldn't bear it any longer, and ordered all warships to encircle their navy nests and annihilate Don.
Although there are strong ships in Tang Jun, after all, the number is too small, and Japanese warships come out too suddenly. From the beginning, they suffered a big loss and lost a ship that turned in time!
However, Liu quickly changed his tactics, concentrated the oil and rockets on board and shot at the Japanese warships that joined together.
The wind helped the fire, and the chasing Japanese warships were recruited and burned more than a dozen warships.
Although thousands of people lost their lives, Ye Mao thought it was not a loss. If a dozen warships were exchanged for a Tang Dynasty ship, only 100 ships would be needed to destroy these powerful sea fortresses. By that time, Tang Jun's battleships and Meng Chong will have no support, and they will be panic in!
The two armies will fight again in the afternoon!
3,000 Datang sailors beat 40,000 Japanese sailors, and Liu He played very hard!
Although the ship is extremely strong, it can't hold too many Japanese warships. Moreover, the locked Japanese warships limited the sprint of building and fighting ships, and the losses were more serious.
However, Liu is waiting for an opportunity that the Japanese will never forget!
That's the real version of Burning Red Cliff! However, there is not so much kerosene on board, and there are no extra straws and boats. Liu Renyuan has received military orders and is rushing to raise.
At noon on the third day of the battle, Tang Jun and the Japanese army won three battles at sea, losing more than 1000 naval divisions, leaving less than 40 warships. However, the Japanese army is also having a hard time. Up to now, tens of thousands of people have been lost, leaving less than 700 warships.
The exchange ratio between Tang Jun and the Japanese army reached 1: 10, which was the combat level of the famous Tang soldiers at that time.
According to normal standards, Tang Jun won three out of three wars, and the Japanese army suffered a big loss!
However, Liu is obviously not here!
It is reported that the Jiangnan navy that Sun is reinforcing is not far from here. With luck, these fresh troops may catch up with the tail of this naval battle; If they are unlucky, they can only come here to celebrate Liu.
At this time, Liu Renyuan has prepared more than 100 boats, thousands of kilograms of kerosene, straw and kindling, and hid them on the shore. Liu decided to make full use of World War I and bury all these tens of thousands of Japanese aggressors in Baijiangkou.
In the afternoon, Liu suddenly stepped onto the drum platform on the boat and attacked himself.
40 Datang warships stood side by side, towering like mountains, heading for the Japanese fleet.
I'm trying to figure out how to attract the Tang navy division, only to find that the other side has put all your eggs in one basket and sent the whole army. He was overjoyed and immediately ordered the remaining 700 warships to press on!
Tang Jun has the upper hand, but the trend is slow; The Japanese navy was at a disadvantage, but at the urging of Ye Mao, it quickly plugged in!
The two armies are dozens of feet apart. Suddenly, Tang Jun warships split in two, walking side by side, and a space about 100 feet wide flashed in the middle. Then, Ye Mao and Jin Shi Park looked curiously at the sudden appearance of more than 65,438+000 ships. ......
Gradually, a fire broke out on these boats, and Tang Jun, a water ghost, jumped off the boat. ......
Gradually, these burning ships approached the Japanese warships. ......
Ye Mao doesn't know how he escaped from the battlefield. He only remembers that Park Jin-seong and Hong drove a warship into the sea of fire. All he remembers is that Fu Yufeng swore that she was so stupid. He only remembers that he was driven by his men after another warship in the firelight. ......
Ye Mao still remembers that more than 400 ships successfully escaped from the fire!
However, just when they were glad that they had escaped, a bigger Tang Haijun suddenly appeared in front of them ... Then, they escaped and kept running!
It was not until two days later that he fled back to Japan and described the tragic situation of Tang Navy to Emperor Tianzhi in horror. Tianzhi slapped Ye Mao hard before waking him up.
World War I between Datang and Japan in Baijiangkou;
Tang Jun navy suffered casualties 1000, and lost more than 20 warships. There are more than 2000 casualties on the ground. The Japanese navy suffered more than 20,000 casualties, captured more than 8,000 people, lost more than 700 warships, and lost 20,000 Baekje ground troops!
This is an unexpected and reasonable victory. It is a victory of "everyone takes the world as his own responsibility" belonging to the border officials of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a victory to guide Japan out of the era of ignorance.
Liu's "burning camp after camp" made the Japanese completely wake up: Datang, whether it is wisdom, technology or scale, can be rubbed on the ground at will. If you don't want to be rubbed, you must learn from Datang.
Since then, Japanese envoys in the Tang Dynasty have been traveling from Japan to Chang 'an.
In the battle of Baijiangkou, the Japanese navy was defeated by the Tang navy, and the aftermath was not smooth.
Emperor Tianzhi of Japan was frightened day and night, and ordered people to build three huge ravines on the seashore one after another to prevent the Tang navy from following him to destroy the country. However, after waiting for a year, I didn't wait for a Datang warship.
Li Zhi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, immediately recovered from the news of Liu's victory. Wu Zetian was forced to cancel "listening to politics".
Liu was included in the list of famous soldiers in the Tang Dynasty because of World War I, and was transferred from Baekje by Li Zhi. He was promoted to ambassador Taohe, a marching guard, specializing in defending Tubo! Two years later, Liu was promoted to the position of senior secretary and supervisory official.
Fu Yufeng, the puppet king of Baekje, disappeared after the war, and his son went out of the city to surrender, so Baekje was incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. As for General Black Tooth of Baekje, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty again, assisted Liu in the fight against Tubo, made outstanding achievements, and grew into a famous soldier in the Tang Dynasty.
Before the war of Baijiangkou, Japan only sent envoys to Datang four times, mostly to find out Datang's attitude towards Silla and Baekje. Since this defeat, Japan has been closed to the outside world for 30 years, for fear of offending Datang again!
It was not until 70 1 year that Japan, which was healed after the defeat, began to greatly increase the frequency of sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty. Almost every year, a large number of envoys are sent to learn the advanced knowledge of culture, medicine and military affairs in the Tang Dynasty and become "good students" for thousands of years.
Therefore, in the following 1000 years, Japanese politicians of all generations dared not forget the power of the Lord of East Asia and refused to challenge this big country that suffered a landslide!
This wise move not only brought thousands of years of peace to East Asia, but also preserved a bright national blood behind every dark cloud for thousands of years. If Japan had not learned its lesson and continued to challenge, it would have been lost in history like Baekje and Koguryo.
It can be seen that "peace" is not obtained for no reason, but a rational choice for some people after being hurt and frightened.
