Whole poem:
During the day, the hurricane rolled with dark clouds, and the huge ship sailed like a mountain.
Bow and drum, blue-eyed ghost slaves kill people.
Guangdong customs guards told each other to prevent the generals from seeing each other off day and night at sea.
The general predicted that the enemy had the courage to sink10,000 ships to Tuen Mun.
Humen Guangdong throat is extremely dangerous.
The cliff is bounded by two Gorges, and the next gorge is unpredictable.
Long Tao blocked 80,000 Li, and Peter Lu fell into the abyss of loneliness and helplessness.
The antlers were broken, and they wanted to get rid of whales and rays.
Unfortunately, the mansion was afraid of cowardice and made a mistake. Dogs and sheep have been difficult to tame since ancient times.
The waves are boiling and the sun is dark, and ghosts scream and cheer.
Although our army has no fighting spirit, Hogg dare not stand.
Jiangxi soldiers used to be brave, but now Hu Wangfeng has run away with them?
The general is still fighting with his bare hands. He says he is exhausted and lonely.
Poor thing, there is no horse, and the giant gun was turned into smoke.
I have a 90-year-old mother who said that the imperial edict was mourning for the rain before her grandson was established.
I heard that Chen Liansheng, a father-son thief, has the same handle.
The ape crane evokes the theory of patience! I recruit loyal souls for paper cutting.
Translation:
In broad daylight, a hurricane suddenly rolled up, overcast and the sky was dark. A huge battleship hill drives the motor.
British troops beat drums at the bow, and blue-eyed British devils rushed out to kill people.
Guangdong customs guards arrived at the news, and the court sent General Guan to guard the coastal defense overnight.
General Guan expected the enemy to be bolder and stationed dozens of warships at Humen fortress.
Humen is the throat of Guangdong, and its terrain is unparalleled.
Cliffs and canyons stand on the east and west sides, and the unpredictable deep sea is below.
British troops are far away from the mainland in the rough Wan Li, and they are isolated in the waters of China.
Our army can form a pincer according to the danger, stall the enemy and cut off its retreat. The enemy, as powerful as whale thunder, tried to escape from the net, but could do nothing.
Unfortunately, Governor Qishan was afraid of the enemy's cowardice and missed the good plan. Since ancient times, dogs and sheep have been difficult to tame.
The rolling waves reflected the dim sunset, and the enemy's strange calls became more and more arrogant.
Although our army is large in number, it has no fighting spirit, but dare not advance with guns.
Jiangxi soldiers, who used to be called brave, are now trying to stop the enemy from escaping.
General Guan hit the enemy with his bare hands, saying that he was weak and owed the country.
The poor general didn't come back wrapped in a horse coffin, and the huge gun turned into smoke with a shock.
General Guan has a 90-year-old mother and a minor grandson. After reading the imperial edict, the poet wept bitterly.
It is said that Chen Liansheng's father and son died in battle, and their bright festival is like an abrupt mountain.
The soldiers who died heroically have become apes and cranes. How can they bear to talk about it? I want to write poems for the martyrs to comfort their loyal souls.
