At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, national defense was mainly divided into three major war zones: Jianghuai, Jinghu and Sichuan. Among them, Sichuan War Zone (namely "Sichuan Gorge No.4 Road") is divided into:
1) Three-tier strategic defense system:
(1) Leshan Jiading is the "root of the town west" and defends western Sichuan.
(2) Chongqing Mountain City is the "base of protecting Sichuan" and defending Sichuan.
(3) Fengjie Kuizhou was the "root of Wu" to defend the Southern Song Dynasty.
2) Eight mountain cities for military defense, namely "eight pillars" against Mongolia;
① Jiange Kuzhuguan
② Pengan Yunshan City
(3) Cangxi City.
(4) Tongjiang gets Seoul.
⑤ Nanchong Qingju City
6 Hechuan Fishing City
⑦ Jintang Yundingcheng
Today Fengjie Baidicheng
The above defenses, one is more important than the other!
In addition, the so-called "Battle of Fishing City in Southern Song Dynasty" circulating on the Internet is a historical drama embellished in some places in the past 30 years, most of which are not real history! Sensational rhetoric, including "fishing city changes world history", is pure grandstanding!
As we all know, the compilation of the History of Song Dynasty by Yuan people was hasty and not revised. Therefore, The History of Song Dynasty is miscellaneous and rough, with many mistakes and omissions, and its biographies, records and biographies are often contradictory. The Yuan people also deleted and beautified the records about the Song-Mongolian War and concealed many historical facts. The battle about Hechuan fishing town in Song history is just one of the many "revolutionary histories" that Yuan people beautified themselves, which is exactly the same as the story of "flying over Luding Bridge", but it is not a real history. It is precisely because of the low credibility of China's historical materials about the Song-Mongolian War that the general International History of Mongolia is based on Raster's Collection of History, and Raster is also recognized as an authority on Mongolian history in the world.
According to historical records, at the beginning of 1259 (the year of Kai Qingyuan), Mongo Khan personally led an army to attack Sichuan, and the enemy arrived at Hezhou Fishing City. Wang Jian of Song Jun was weak, so he only closed the city and refused to take part in the war. Because the strength difference between the two sides is too wide, there is no decent fighting. Stalemate until June of the lunar calendar, "the emperor failed to prepare, and fell to Yushan in July." Some historical materials in China used folk rumors and jokes to say that Mongo was killed by an arrow.
In fact, the real reason is that during the Southern Song Dynasty, the Hechuan area in Chongqing is still very desolate today. The mountains are high and the gorge is deep, and there are many virgin forests. History books say that "there are mountains and rivers, and water vapor is especially poisonous." Raster, the authority of Mongolian history in the world, also clearly recorded in the Collection of History that the summer climate in fishing towns is extremely bad, and Mongolian troops from the northern desert suffered serious casualties due to acclimatization and cholera epidemic. Mongo was also unfortunately infected with this disease, so he used alcoholism to treat this disease, and the Islamic calendar 1 year suddenly deteriorated and died in 655. The Mongols just lost their fighting capacity because of the plague and could not continue to fight. They quit on their own and temporarily quit Sichuan. However, after only a few months' pause, Kublai Khan succeeded the Great Khan of Mongolia and began to continue his conquest of the Southern Song Dynasty.
