While reflecting on the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, we should also re-examine another naval battle between China and Japan-the Battle of Lvliang in 3354, and learn from it.

The ins and outs of the Battle of Lvliang The Battle of Lvliang was a large-scale naval battle between China and North Korea in the western waters of the Korean Peninsula in November of the 26th year of the Ming Dynasty.

/kloc-In the 1980s of 0/7, Toyotomi Hideyoshi ended the Warring States Period, and Japan was divided by different groups and unified the whole country. Then, it made an aggressive plan to conquer Korea, annex China and move its capital to Beijing. Launched a 20-year war of aggression against North Korea. North Korea was defeated in two months, and the territories of Sandu and Baxian counties were completely lost, so it had to ask the Ming government for help. The Ming government appointed Li as the prefect and led troops to aid North Korea. The following year, the Ming army entered the Korean War and recovered Pyongyang, Kaesong and Seoul. The Japanese side proposed a peaceful truce. Four years later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent more troops to invade North Korea, with more than 600,000 troops and nearly 3,000 warships. Under the comprehensive counterattack of the Sino-DPRK Coalition forces, the Japanese side lost its troops and was compressed in the southern corner of Korea. In August 598, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness and was ordered to withdraw. The Chinese-Korean allied navy, which completely controls the ocean, decided to ambush, attack or annihilate the Japanese troops retreating in the western waters of the Korean Peninsula.

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, Japanese troops compressed in Shuntian, Sichuan, and the South China Sea off the southeast coast of Korea began to retreat secretly. At that time, more than 46,000 people were preparing to escape from the sea in three ways. At that time, there were 26,000 Chinese and Korean navies and about 800 warships, which cut off the road behind the Japanese army and fled from Shuntian first. Two Japanese troops stationed in Sichuan and the South China Sea tried to cross the Lvliang Strait, while the China and South Korean navies ambushed west of the Lvliang Strait. 165438+1October19,598 The two armies met and a naval battle broke out. The blocked Japanese reinforcements turned south and found an ambush in the morning, so they retreated to the north of Li. They were once again intercepted by Coalition forces. The allied forces were divided into three parts: north, west and east, facing the Japanese siege. At this time, the moon hangs on the western hills, and the mountains are shrouded in shadows and half-hazy. Countless ships emerged from the shadows. They approached the enemy ship, and the strikers fired their guns and called for thieves. The thief came up to me. At this time, the bird's spear rushed into the sea, and the flying pills fell into the water like rain. Deng Zilong, a 70-year-old veteran of the Ming Navy, took the lead. After the ship was surrounded by the Japanese army, 300 elite soldiers boarded the nearest ship and boarded the ship to fight the Japanese army. The soldiers of China and North Korea shared the same enemy and fought fiercely overnight. Japan lost more than 40 warships. The Japanese army had no intention of fighting and ordered a breakthrough. The Japanese fleet managed to break through the encirclement in the dense fog. The joint fleet followed. Deng Zilong's flagship rushed into the enemy ship first and was hit by a rocket. Veteran Deng Zilong fought tenaciously to the last breath and died heroically. North Korean general Li Shunchen discovered Deng Zilong, and his flagship caught fire. He came to the rescue immediately. Unfortunately, he was hit by a stray bullet on the road. He gave his armor to his nephew, Lee Wan, and ordered him to command the battle instead of himself. Soon he closed his eyes. The veterans of China and South Korea helped the people and infiltrated Changhong, inspiring all members of the joint fleet to fight the enemy more bravely. At this time, the reinforcement fleet led by Ming Jiang Chen arrived. This new power station will surround Japanese ships layer by layer and divide them into fighter planes. After half a day of fierce fighting, until noon, most Japanese ships were either burned or sunk or captured by allied forces. Those Japanese

In the whole battle of Lvliang, more than 450 Japanese ships were sunk and burned, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops were wiped out. Shortly after the war, Chen lost many soldiers and equipment, as well as the support of many celebrities. Soon, the battle of Xiakou, which decided the fate of Japan, broke out. The ambitious Toyotomi family tried to annex Korea in the war, but was defeated by the Tokugawa family and finally lost control of Japan. Japan really ended the Warring States period. It was not until the18th century after the Meiji Restoration that Japan regained its strength and reignited the war. This war is a milestone in the history of the East Asian War and the World War. Firearms were widely used by both armies in the war. In addition, the turtle ship invented by Li Shunchen was one of the strongest warships in the world at that time, because it had good maneuverability and strong defense capability.

Historical mirror image of the Lvliang War According to historical records, there are more studies on the Sino-Japanese War and less on the Lvliang War. The naval battle in Lvliang was not a complete victory, but the biggest failure was that it did not pursue fierce bandits. Throughout the modern history of the world, Napoleon was finally defeated by the Battle of Waterloo in his own country, and the anti-French alliance won the final victory. Hitler launched Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II. The Soviet-American counterattack did not stop expelling the invaders, but conquered Berlin. Hitler and Goebbels committed suicide. Only after the war can Germany truly reflect on its crime of aggression and completely abandon militarism. On the contrary, although we won the final victory in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek rejected President Roosevelt's suggestion that China send occupation troops and return Ryukyu. After the founding of China, we exempted Japanese war compensation. However, Japanese militarism has never been touched by this introspection, but has frequently published articles on the Diaoyu Islands issue.

Look at the naval battle in Lvliang and the whole Incheon War, which lasted for six years. China, South Korea and Japan all lost. Although China and North Korea organized a naval battle in Lvliang when the Japanese retreated, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese who tried to escape, the Ming government did not have the courage and determination to use this victory to pursue it, especially after the defeated Japan refused to surrender. The Ming government did not send troops to investigate the responsibility. The aggressor must be punished for the damage caused by his aggression, otherwise, he will give in to weakness and deception regardless of the goodwill of the other side and come back after his strength is restored, just like Aesop's fable. In fact, although Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, the war criminals Shimadzu, Ji Hong and Konishi Yukinaga who escaped from the naval battle in Lvliang were all supporters and followers of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. American aggressive policy. Instead of being recognized, they became Japanese national heroes. The Ming government has the opportunity and ability to form a China-DPRK alliance based on North Korea and let Japan take responsibility. Not invading Japanese territory, but punishing war criminals. At the same time, Japan should make due compensation for the huge losses caused to China and North Korea by launching this war of aggression, which can not only alleviate the emptiness of the national treasury, but also eliminate the breeding ground of militarism in time.
