1. Zhan Tianyou
Zhan Tianyou, a pioneer of modern science and a famous engineer, faced the difficult situation of having no capital, no technology, and no talent in the country. He was full of patriotic enthusiasm and accepted the order. Build the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway.
With his selfless spirit of hard work, he traveled through the mountains and ridges between Beijing and Zhangjiakou, and spent only 5 million yuan and 4 years to complete the project that required investment of 9 million yuan for foreigners. The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway took 7 years to complete.
The foreign experts who came to visit were all shocked and amazed. At that time, some universities in the United States, in recognition of Zhan Tianyou's achievements, decided to grant him a doctorate in engineering and invited him to attend the ceremony.
However, Zhan Tianyou was responsible for the design task of another railway, so he refused the invitation. His spirit of serving the country rather than seeking personal fame has won praise at home and abroad.
2. Qi Jiguang
In September 1556, more than 800 Japanese pirates attacked Longshan Station. Qi Jiguang, who had just been appointed as the new general, immediately led his troops there after hearing the news. The Japanese pirates divided into three groups and rushed over. The Ming army retreated one after another. Qi Jiguang saw that the situation was critical.
He quickly jumped onto a high rock and shot down the three Japanese chieftains with three arrows in a row, and then the Japanese pirates retreated. In October, the Japanese pirates landed at Longshan again. Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others led their troops to fight against them. After three battles and three victories, the Japanese pirates retreated at night.
In 1561, Japanese pirates invaded Zhejiang on a large scale. Qi Jiguang won thirteen victories in Taizhou, basically quelling the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang. In April and May of 1561, Japanese pirates invaded Zhejiang on a large scale, with hundreds of ships and 10,000 to 20,000 people, harassing dozens of areas, and their momentum shocked far and near.
Among them, large groups of Japanese pirates invaded Ninghai, Taozhu, Xinhe and other places. Qi Jiguang established the principle of large-scale creation and annihilation, and defeated Japanese pirates in Huajie, Shangfengling, Tengling, Changsha and other places. Thirteen battles and thirteen victories, the Japanese captured and killed more than 1,400 Japanese pirates.
More than 4,000 people were burned and drowned, which dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese pirates who invaded Taizhou. In 1562, Qi Jiguang was ordered to enter Fujian to suppress Japanese invaders, and he successively wiped out the three major Japanese nests in Hengyu, Niutian and Lindun. In 1563, Qi Jiguang arrived in Fujian and defeated the Japanese pirates at Pinghaiwei.
Later, he led his army to break the siege of Xianyou and eliminated the bandit Wu Ping in Nan'ao, basically quelling the Japanese invasion along the southeast coast. In April 1563, Qi Jiguang led more than 10,000 people to Fujian. In May, Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, ordered Qi Jiajun to be in the middle, Liu Xian to be the left wing, and Yu Dayou to be the right wing.
Launch a general offensive against Pinghaiwei. The Japanese pirates rushed to fight, and the Qi army fired fiercely with firearms. The Japanese pirates' horses were frightened and ran around in disorder. The left and right wings took advantage of the momentum. The Japanese pirates were defeated and fled back to the Xu family's main nest.
The Ming army surrounded the enemy's nest and set fire on all sides. The Japanese pirates were burned or killed. Most of the escapees fell off the cliff or jumped into the sea and died. The Japanese were beheaded 2,210 times. people. Such people are heroes.
3. Hua Luogeng
In 1950, the mathematician Hua Luogeng gave up his tenure as a tenured professor in the United States and rushed to the motherland. On his way back, he wrote an open letter to students studying in the United States, in which he said: "In order to choose the truth, we should go back.
For the sake of the country and the nation, we should go back; to serve the people, we should go back; Even for personal future, we should go back as soon as possible to establish the foundation of our work and strive for the construction and development of our great motherland."
After returning to China, Hua Luogeng conducted research on applied mathematics and traveled to 23 countries across the country. Provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions use mathematics to solve a large number of practical problems in production and are known as "people's mathematicians".
4. Dong Cunrui?
In early May 1948, Dong Cunrui's troops participated in the Jirecha Battle. Longhua County is the archguard of Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province. The opposing army built a large number of bunkers here in advance. Some specially built bunkers are called "model fortifications."
On May 25, 1948, during the battle to liberate Longhua County, Dong Cunrui resolutely picked up the explosive package because his troops were blocked by the opposing army's bridge-shaped bunker. His left leg was injured and he rushed under the bridge.
Because there was nowhere to place the explosive package around him, Dong Cunrui used his body as a support in an emergency - holding the explosive package in his hand. He was under 19 years old when he died.
5. Zheng Chenggong
In July of 1661 (the 18th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty and the 15th year of Yongli), reinforcements dispatched by the Netherlands from Batavia arrived in Dajuan. In addition to more than a hundred soldiers and eleven warships, reinforcements also brought a large amount of supplies and gunpowder to the city of Relanja.
At that time, Zheng Chenggong's military strength was still dispersed across Taiwan to perform tasks. The military strength stationed in Daguan and Puluminzhacheng towns was estimated to be less than 3,000, which rekindled the Dutch army's hope of counterattack. In mid-July, the Dutch reinforcements anchored offshore were hit by strong winds.
They were forced to leave the coast of Dazhuang and go to Penghu to escape the wind and rain; among them, the Dutch warship Urck unfortunately ran aground, and all the people on board were captured by the Zheng army. This incident gave Zheng Jun a temporary opportunity to prepare for the Dutch warships to return to Taiyuan waters in August.
Although Zheng Jun failed to mobilize most of his troops, he had completed preparations for combat. In mid-August, the Dutch and Zheng forces launched a fierce naval battle in the inland waters of the Taijiang River. The Zheng army won a complete victory, sinking a Dutch warship and seizing several ships.
Since then, the Dutch army has lost the ability to take the initiative. In December, Hans Jeuriaen Rade, a German-Dutch noncommissioned officer, defected. With the help of the intelligence he provided, Zheng Chenggong bombarded and destroyed the Utrecht bunker in the city of Jeuranje.
Making the destruction of the city of Relanja a foregone conclusion. On the eighth day of December, the Dutch chief minister wrote a letter to Zheng Chenggong, expressing his agreement to "peace talks." The enemy signed the surrender treaty.
Succumbing to Zheng Chenggong on December 20, Kui Yi led the remaining 500 enemies to withdraw from our territory, Taiwan, in embarrassment. Taiwan, which had been occupied for more than thirty years, has since returned to the embrace of the motherland.
