General Chen's imperial couplets

Yue:

Break the ground and open up the territory, first cover the ancient and modern people.

Go out and you'll be in chinese odyssey!

Chen Lin (A.D. 1543- 1607), whose real name was Chao Jue, was Longya. Ancestors moved from Shanghang County, Longyan City, Fujian Province to wengyuan county, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province. After three generations of Jiajing, Qin Long and Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, he fought in the battlefield for 46 years, and was unified from the official to the left (one product). After his death, he was named "Prince Taibao". In his early years, Chen Lin followed Yu, a famous anti-Japanese soldier, and Zhang Yuanxun, a subordinate of Qi Jiguang, to wipe out the Japanese pirates and bandits who colluded with them in eastern Guangdong. Middle-aged people have been slandered and rejected many times. Chen Lin accepted it frankly and responded positively, and was finally rehabilitated and reinstated. In his later years, he led the Ming navy to resist Japan and aid Korea. In the famous "Lvliang naval battle", he led Lieutenant Deng Zilong to control and make Li Shunchen fight together, completely defeating the Japanese navy and laying a stable pattern in East Asia for the next 300 years.

Later, he moved to Sichuan, Guizhou and Hunan, conquered Yang Yinglong, the bully of Tusi, and settled the chaos around him. In July of the thirty-fourth year of Wanli (A.D. 1606), Chen Lin, who was over sixty years old, returned to his hometown and served as the commander-in-chief of Guangdong. On the eighth day of May of the following year, Chen Lin died of illness at the age of 64. Two years later, the official was buried in Lianhua Mountain (now Liudu Town) in Dong 'an County.

In May of the 40th year of Wanli (A.D. 16 12), the governor of Guizhou, Guo Wei, made contributions to Chen Lin, and the court posthumously awarded Chen Lin the title of "Prince Taibao" in recognition of his achievements in pacifying the border turmoil between Guizhou and Hunan!

This general has been a brave soldier all his life, not only in Sanluo area, but also in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan-Guizhou areas. His footprints can be found on the shores of Bohai Sea, Yalu River and even in South Korea on the other side of the ocean!

Chen Lin's deeds:

In Daying Village, South Township, Liudu Town, Yun 'an County, western Guangdong Province, there is an ancient building named Longya Chentaibao Temple. A quadrangle-style Ming Dynasty building with blue bricks and green tiles came into view. Porcelain figures, animals and flowers embedded in wooden eaves, stone pillars and roofs are still looming. This is the former residence of Chen Lin, a famous anti-Japanese scholar in Ming Dynasty. Although it has been repaired many times, it still retains the original appearance of Ming architecture. In particular, the couplet presented to General Chen said, "The first person in ancient and modern times has made contributions to the development of the country and must be an unparalleled talent." Although it is posted on red paper, every line alludes to General Chen's mighty spirit and his great achievements in national construction.

Chen Gong Temple, with two closed doors, is located between villages, which has both the quietness of the fields and the noise of future generations. We stepped on the granite slabs paved by the Ming Dynasty, touched the blue bricks and gray tiles of the Ming Dynasty, and gently pushed open the red paint door for fear of waking up the generals who had been sleeping for many years. Although General Chen has been away from us for nearly 400 years, his fame is not only widely spread in Sanluo area, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan-Guizhou area, but also seems to be found in the Bohai Sea, Yalu River and even in South Korea, which has crossed the ocean.

Turning to the history of Shen Feng, a general Chen Lin, wearing a war shirt, riding a white horse and holding a peach wooden sword, galloped past the memory of history.

Chen Lin, who are you? By consulting books such as Ming History, Dong 'an County Records and Chen Lin, a famous anti-Japanese soldier, we have a clear understanding of General Chen's life. Chen Lin, 1543 (20th year of Ming Jiajing), was born in Huilong Village, Zhoupi, wengyuan county, Guangdong Province. 1562 joined the army and bootstrapped the Ming Dynasty to conquer Chaozhou, Wengyuan, Yingde, Heyuan, Qingyuan, Conghua, Jieyang, Raoping, Zhaoqing and Gaozhou. 1577, in order to work with peace of mind, Chen Lin moved his family from wengyuan county to Dong 'an County according to the instructions of Governor Ling and became a citizen of Nanxiang Daying (now Nanxiang, Liudu Town, Yun 'an County). In the following years, he moved to Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan-Guizhou regions. After Japanese pirates committed crimes in the Korean waters, Chen Lin was promoted to the Royal Japanese General Battalion, 1.598, commanding 1.3 million Guangdong sailors and more than 500 warships. He was ordered to aid Korea in the war against Japan, and fought fiercely with North Korean star Li Shunchen and lieutenant Deng Zilong in the exposed sea area, almost wiping out the enemy, and won a complete victory in the war against Japan and aiding Korea. General Chen's military career, fighting against foreign enemies, has made outstanding achievements, from the official to the left, especially Dr. Guanglu (Zhengyipin) and Guangdong. 1May 607, died at the age of 64. In September, Ming Taizu conferred the title of "Prince Taibao" and gave him a "sacrificial burial" (a state funeral), and was buried in Lianhua Mountain (near Yunan Hotel today) in Liudu Town.

General Chen has been in the army for decades, and he has fought many battles and made great achievements. But because of jealousy, he was framed, sued the imperial edict three times, was dismissed, and even returned to the field. 1584, Chen Lin was appointed as the deputy governor of Langshan (now Nantong, Jiangsu). Because she refused to give up, Chen Lin had to go to Donganying to live in seclusion. At this time, it happened that the Xijiang River flooded and the waterfall rose. For flood control and disaster relief, General Chen donated money to raise funds and organized the masses to build the Fengyuan River levee to fight the Xijiang River flood. After returning to Nanxiang camp, although he lived in seclusion, General Chen's heart of serving the country and loving his family was still burning and sincere. 1596, the separatist forces in Guangdong and Guangxi revived, rose up and committed crimes in succession. In order to suppress the separatist regime, Governor Chen had to guard at Chen Lin's door. When the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible. In order to serve the country faithfully, Chen Lin, who was demoted for the people, sold his fortune to recruit soldiers and led the army to conquer. Patriotism and patriotism have never changed, which is really touching.

General Chen's patriotism is not only manifested in quelling civil strife and suppressing feudal separatist forces, but also in resisting Japan and aiding Korea.

Great changes have taken place in Japan's domestic political situation during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan by force. But there are still some self-styled feudal lords in China, which are hard to control. In order to ease domestic contradictions and consolidate its rule, Toyotomi Hideyoshi turned its domestic attention to foreign countries and made a military aggression plan to occupy Korea, conquer China and then expand to Southeast Asia. 1April 592 13, Toyotomi Hideyoshi launched a war of aggression against Korea, which China called the "massacre war". 1592 65438+On February 23rd, the Ming army entered the DPRK to participate in the war. At this time, Chen Lin was reinstated, promoted to viceroy, and served as deputy company commander, guarding Hebei and Liao. Later, he was transferred to Zhang and Chao, and actually served as the deputy company commander of Nan 'ao Island. 1593 On April 20th, China-DPRK allied forces regained Seoul. The Japanese side proposed peace talks and soon stopped fighting. 1On July 25th, 597, the Japanese army sent more troops to invade the north, and the Chinese-Korean allied forces launched a large-scale counterattack. Chen Lin was promoted to the prefect of the Navy by the Ming Dynasty, led by lieutenant Deng Zilong and North Korean Navy Li Shunchen. They fought side by side and lay in ambush in the exposed sea. On June 1598,165438+1October 19, they left Liang Hai with more than 10,000 people and more than 500 warships. 70-year-old General Deng Zilong and North Korean Navy Li Shunchen were shot dead one after another. Chen Lin attacked the Japanese aggressors by land with Liu Yanjun and won a complete victory in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

The exposed beam naval battle is a joint naval battle between China and North Korea in the past 400 years, aiming at cutting off the enemy's retreat at sea. Tens of thousands of Japanese pirates died and almost all ships were destroyed in the whole exposed beam naval battle. This was a huge war of annihilation at sea, which played an important role in the formation of peace in Korea for more than 200 years after the war. According to the history of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Lin was the leader of this movement.

History will not be forgotten. Although the smoke of the war has already vanished, the general's footprints are all over the country, and his achievements will be recorded in history forever and praised by generations.

The sun and moon fly like a shuttle, and the years are like a river. Although General Chen Lin has long since left us, people in his hometown still deeply miss him. General Chen not only created the history of Dong 'an and Sanluo, but also left many precious cultural heritages, such as stone carvings in the Qing Dynasty.
