Everyone is familiar with Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang, but the person who really fired the first shot to recover Treasure Island was neither them, but Shen Yourong, the general of the Daming Naval Division. In his more than 40 years of military career, he led his army into the treasure island and Penghu archipelago three times, annihilated the Japanese and drove out the Dutch, 60 years earlier than Zheng Chenggong. Shen Yourong's life, how to emerge in the military and the feat of recovering the treasure island three times, let us come together one by one.
Shen Yourong was born in an intellectual family, but he did not inherit the tradition of his ancestors to study and study, but was keen on martial arts and liked to ride horses and shoot arrows. At the age of 22, he decided to devote himself to martial arts, and followed Liang Menglong, the governor of Xuanda, to participate in the battles against the Tuman, Duoyan Sanwei, Mongols, Jurchens, etc., and made many achievements. Liang Menglong took a fancy to Shen Yourong's self-motivation and awarded him the position of flag.
With the reform of the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, the political situation of the Ming Dynasty was turbulent. After Zhang Juzheng's death, the first thing he faced was the "reversal of Zhang liquidation", and Shen Yourong's self-motivation and extraordinary talent attracted the attention of the imperial court. He was transferred to Fujian to deal with the southeast coastal defense issue, and became the commander of the rear of the southern army of the East Road under Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Jiliao, and was responsible for the defense of the Yanhe River and Taitou Second Road.
In Fujian, Shen Yourong grew up rapidly, different from other people's ways of mixing military salaries, he insisted on hard work and mastered eighteen kinds of martial arts. This attracted the attention of Shoufu Zhang Juzheng, making him an important general of the water division.
Shen Yourong's low-key heroic temperament was demonstrated in the three feats of recovering the treasure island. In 1602, the small Japanese invaded the treasure island again, and Shen Yourong was furious and asked the imperial court to send troops. In the typhoon weather, he unexpectedly launched a landing operation, defeated the Japanese invaders, and the treasure island returned to tranquility again.
Twelve years later, the Dutch colonists invaded Penghu Island and made colonial preparations after the occupation. Xu Xueju, the governor of Fujian, summoned Shen Yourong to discuss countermeasures. Shen Yourong advocated saluting first and then soldiering, and solving the problem through negotiation. At the negotiating table, he successfully persuaded the Dutch general Wei Malang to abandon Penghu Island, showing the diplomatic wisdom of the Ming Dynasty.
Shen Yourong was appointed by the imperial court as a general of Fuzhou, and the commander-in-chief of the naval division encircled and suppressed the Japanese invaders. He stopped the assault and used merchant ships as bait to capture the leader of the Japanese pirates, Michitomo Akashi. Under the guidance of Shen Yourong, Akashi Daoyou surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and Shen Yourong successfully directed a big drama of "using the Japanese to control the Japanese" and solved the Japanese Rebellion.
However, Shen Yourong's merits have aroused the jealousy of some people. He was ** by the civil official for "falsely reporting his merits", and the court only gave him a bounty of six taels. In anger, Shen Yourong resigned and went home. Soon after, the expelled Japanese revived, and the imperial court realized that Shen Yourong's method of "using the Japanese to control the Japanese" was the most scientific at the time, but it was too late.
In the Ming Dynasty, where the political situation changed, Shen Yourong became a victim of loyal ministers and good generals. He finally wrote to the Emperor of the Apocalypse in the name of the old beggar bones in the way of saying goodbye to his old age, and died at the age of 67. The imperial court posthumously gifted him the governor of Tongzhi, but all this was to no avail.
Shen Yourong, the low-key hero of the Daming Water Division, his life is full of loyalty, wisdom and tragedy. He is not for fame and wealth, but for the country and the people, silently dedicating and acting in a low-key manner. His story teaches us that sometimes, the most heroic heroes don't always get the respect and honor they deserve. In the long river of history, Shen Yourong is like a bright star, although he is not noticed by everyone, but he will always shine in the long history of the Ming Dynasty.
The story of Shen Yourong, the general of the Ming Dynasty, deeply touched people's hearts. His life is full of legends, low-key and tenacious, and he has made great efforts for the country and the people, but he has encountered injustice and cold treatment when he has achieved fame. Such stories not only make people feel embarrassed about history, but also provoke deep thinking about loyalty, wisdom and tragedy.
First of all, Shen Yourong's low-key and tenacity is impressive. He was not born in a military family, but at the age of 22, he resolutely decided to devote himself to martial arts, fighting all the way to the safety of the country for decades. In the coastal area of Fujian, he showed a firm dedication to his military career, and through hard work, he shaped himself into a military elite that cannot be ignored. His low-key and practical attitude made him stand out in the eyes of Liang Menglong, Zhang Juzheng and other officials, and finally became the key general of the Daming Water Division.
Secondly, Shen Yourong's wisdom and strategy in the three operations to recover the treasure island are impressive. He unexpectedly launched a landing operation in typhoon weather, successfully defeated the Japanese and defended the treasure island. In the confrontation with the Dutch colonists, he successfully persuaded the other party to abandon Penghu Island by saluting first and then soldiering, showing the diplomatic wisdom of the Ming Dynasty. In dealing with the Japanese invaders, he successfully directed a big drama with the ingenious strategy of "using the Japanese to control the Japanese invaders", solved the Japanese rebellion, and made indelible contributions to the peace of the country.
However, Shen Yourong finally suffered injustice and cold treatment because of his high merits. In the unpredictable political situation of the Ming Dynasty, he was regarded as an overly prominent general, which attracted the envy of some people. Although he made great efforts in the operation to recover the treasure island, he was ** by the civilian officials, and in the end he only received a bounty of six taels. This kind of treatment makes people sigh that often the fate of heroes is mostly a tragic ending.
Shen Yourong's story tells us that sometimes, true heroes don't necessarily get the respect and honor they deserve. His life is a selfless dedication to the country and a true embodiment of the spirit of a soldier. His tenacity, wisdom and low-key are all worth pondering. Perhaps in the long river of history, there are too many heroes who have been silently dedicated, and their deeds may not be remembered in the history books, but their spirit has been inspiring future generations to move forward.
