Zhenhai Zhaobao Mountain is the key to the six towns of Zhejiang, and it is also the key way for merchant ships to enter and leave. The anti-Japanese and other foreign aggression wars left many epic heroic stories and rich and precious coastal defense forts on Zhaobao Mountain, which is less than 100 meters above sea level.
The existing ancient cannons on Zhaobao Mountain were produced in the Daoguang period, Guangxu period, and Xianfeng period. They are all cast iron front-mounted smoothbore guns. These ancient cannons also have a very powerful name: "Red Cannon"!
Since the Ming Dynasty’s anti-Japanese commander Lu Kang started to build Weiyuan City, the fortresses on Zhaobao Mountain have been continuously strengthened and perfected and cast into indestructible "coastal fortresses." Do you know where these fortresses are now?
01 Yuecheng
The Moon City was built by Ouyang Li, the admiral of Zhejiang during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It is equivalent to the urn city of Weiyuan city. There used to be four cannons, which played a big role in the battle of Zhenhai in the Sino-French War!
Today, there is a "red cannon" on the left and right sides of the moon city gate.
02 The Monument Pavilion of Wu Gongji Gong
Wu Gong's name is Wu Jie, a general who made great achievements in the battle of Zhenhai in the Sino-French War. The monument pavilion of Wu Gongji Gong was built in 1936 on Wu Jie's centenary birthday to commemorate his heroic achievements in the Sino-French War. The Gongbei Pavilion is the top of the four-pillar Xieshan Mountain. The two pillars on the south side are engraved with "Fenggong staying in Ziyin, prestige in Europe" couplets. The built-in "Wu Gong Ji Gong monument" records Wu Jie's life deeds.
There are two "red cannons" and two carved stone horses on the platform under the Wu Gong Ji Gong stele pavilion to pay tribute to Wu Gong's heroic deeds.
03 Jinzi Mountain
The Jinzi Mountain is only 24.5 meters above sea level, but its military position is very important. As early as the early Ming Dynasty, Xingguo Gongtang and built a guard in Zhenhai Tuocheng. The Jinzi Mountain was used as the gate to the northeast of Zhenhai City. The guard station was set up to warn the movement of Japanese pirate boats at sea. It was called "the mouth of the thief" at the time, and the opposite Zhaobaoshan The formation of horns...
Nowadays, there is still a "red cannon" in Jinzi Shandian. This position controls the mountains and controls the sea, and can overlook the whole city of Zhenhai. I think it played a very important role in resisting foreign invasion!
04 Anyuan Fort
The Anyuan Fort is located at the southern foot of Zhaobao Mountain. Since the fort is compacted with a mixture of yellow mud, sand, carbon, and glutinous rice, it can play the role of "overcoming strength with softness", so the Anyuan Fort is also known as the "Glutinous Rice" Fort.
The fort was originally equipped with a 21 cm rotating coastal artillery made in Germany, which was later destroyed by the Japanese army. Today, there are still 3 front iron cannons and 5 small-caliber iron cannons in the northeast of the fort, forming a large-scale ancient cannon group.
05 Victory Monument in the Sino-French War
At the southern foot of Zhaobao Mountain, there is also a monument to commemorate the victory of the Zhenhai Battle, which is grand and majestic. It was established to commemorate the only victory in the battle of the coastline in the modern history of China-the Battle of Zhenhai in the Sino-French War.
There are three "red cannons" arranged on the platform, leaning against Zhaobao Mountain, facing the East China Sea, with awe-inspiring momentum!
The long ancient fort in Xiongguan,
The sight of the reign of blood and gunpowder is long gone!
And you have the opportunity to stroll in this Haitianxiongguan,
Or caress this rusty old cannon,
That sense of glory and history,
It will still make your heart surging!
