In the early 13th century, under the leadership of its leader, Cheng Jisi, the Mongolians originally belonged to the Jin Dynasty, unified the Mongolian ministries and established the Mongolian Khanate. In the process of expanding to the south, the Mongolian khanate destroyed Xixia in 1227 AD and gold in 1234 AD, and occupied the Central Plains, thus forming a confrontation between the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia. A long war was waged between Song and Mongolia.

in February, in the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Lizong (Zhao Yun) in the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1258), the Great Khan of Mongolia ordered that the Song Dynasty be hacked in three ways. The middle route led by Kublai Khan, the emperor's brother, attacked Ezhou (now Wuchang, Hubei); On the East Road, Taghachar led the attack on Jingshan (now Huaiyuan, Anhui Province), and made the general Uriyangqatai lead the troops northward by Jiao (now Vietnam) and Guang (now Guangxi); On the west road, Meng Ge led the main force to attack Sichuan. At that time, Meng Ge's plan was to capture Sichuan, then the three roads joined forces in Ezhou (now Wuchang, Hubei) and then captured Lin 'an (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In February of the 7th year of Bao You (AD 1259), Mongolian troops attacked the gate of Hezhou Fishing City (now northeast of Hechuan City, Sichuan Province), and Meng Ge personally supervised the division and besieged it on all sides. Wang Jian did not flinch from the enemy's strength, nor did he waver because of the enemy's lure and surrender. He led the army and the people of the whole city, and with the help of the natural barrier terrain of Fishing City, he fought bravely and crushed the attack of the Mongolian army. Wang Dechen, the vanguard of the Mongolian army, was injured and died under the counter-attack of Wang Jianmeng's fire, and Meng Ge himself was injured and died in the army, so the Mongolian army had to withdraw northward. The victory of Fishing Town against Mongolia reversed the whole war situation, and the dying Southern Song Dynasty was able to survive the crisis, and the Han people were temporarily spared from being ravaged and enslaved by the Mongolian rulers. To this end, Hezhou soldiers and civilians published huge inscriptions on the cliffs of Fishing Mountain. Firmly support half of the fish city with one pillar? Words to praise the exploits of Wang Jian, wrote a glorious page in the history of the nation.

Wang Jian was originally a general in Xingyuan people's patriotic anti-Mongolian armed forces. After Xingyuan people's armed forces accepted the leadership of Yu Jie, a general in the Southern Song Dynasty, Wang Jian was named a martial arts doctor by the Song Dynasty. In the 11th year of Li Zongchun's reign (AD 1251), Yu Jie led them to collect Fuxing Yuan (now Nanzheng, Shaanxi Province), demonstrating Wang Jian's achievements, and was appointed as the Yong ying ambassador of Yao County. In the first year of Li Zongbao's You (AD 1253), Yu Jie died suddenly, and Wang Jian was appointed as the magistrate of Hezhou (Fishing City). In the second year, Ren Xingyuan was the ruler of Hezhou.

Fishing Town is located on the fishing hill in the northeast of Hechuan City, Sichuan Province. Fishing Mountain is not very high, but it is very steep, rising from the ground and standing on the north bank of Jialing River. Seen from the north to the west, Jialing River and Qujiang River meet not far from its north, and flow westward around the fishing city to Hechuan City. Jialing River meets Fujiang River again, folded it and flows eastward, encircling the ground into a glans-head peninsula, with water facing the north, west and south. Fishing City is the highest place on this peninsula, commanding and controlling the Three Rivers. It is surrounded by Yunmen Mountain, Huding Mountain, Maji Mountain, Shizi Mountain, Artillery Mountain, Nanqukou, Sanjiangkou, Jizhaotan, Pingyang Beach and other dangerous places. As far as the situation of ancient wars is concerned, it is really a place for military strategists to compete.

Fishing Town not only has the above superior geographical conditions, but also has been painstakingly managed since it was built in the second year of Chunyou (AD 1242). Fishing City has nine gates: Baoguo, Qinghua, Zhenxi, Dongxin, Fanqi, Qisheng, Xiaodong, Shiguan and Shuidong. The highest part of the city wall reached the beginning of the twentieth century. In the middle of the confrontation between the two cliffs outside the city, a word city was built as a barrier. In the city, Tianjian gully water is used as a pool, with more than 111 steps around it, named Tianchi. The spring is watery, and it doesn't dry up early. Thirteen small ponds and 92 wells were opened. Therefore, the drinking water and irrigation supply for the residents in the city have been effectively guaranteed.

Wang Jian went to Fishing Town and mobilized the people of Shizhao, Tongliang, Bachuan, Early Han and Chishui, which belong to the state, to strengthen and build the fishing mountain town, making the fishing town more solid. At the same time, simplify administration and save military expenditure to reduce the burden on the people; Give people land and encourage them to carry out agricultural production; He also called on people from all over the country who were harassed by the Mongolian army to rebuild their homes in Fishing City, so people from Qin (now Tianshui, Gansu), Gong (now Longxi, Gansu), Li (now Guangyuan, Sichuan) and Sa (now Lueyang, Shaanxi) moved to Fishing City one after another, making Fishing City a town of more than 111,111 people. Therefore, Wang Jian's fishing city can stick to the battle.

in the first month of the second year of song baoyou (ad 1254), Mongolia invaded guang' an army (now north of guang' an, Sichuan) and arrived in Hezhou, where it was repelled by soldiers and civilians led by Wang Jian. This is the first blow to the Mongolian army by Wang Jian and the people of Fishing City.

in the fourth year of Bao You (AD 1256), Brother Meng ordered Uriyangqatai, a general, to open the road to Sichuan.

In April of the 5th year of Bao You (A.D. 1257), the Mongolian army captured the Kuzhu Pass, went into Jianmen (now north of Jiange, Sichuan), and prepared to build a fortress. Due to the strict defense of the military and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty, it failed.

In February of the 6th year of Bao You (AD 1258), the Mongolian army invaded the Song Dynasty on a large scale. Brother Khan led 41,111 chosen men, claiming to be 111,111, and attacked Sichuan in three ways from Liupanshan (now Guyuan, Gansu). All the way, Muge went straight to Micangguan in Bazhou (now Bazhong, Sichuan) from Yangzhou (now Yangxian, Shaanxi); All the way, Sorica went from fishing to Hezhou (now Hexian County, Shaanxi Province); Meng Ge personally entered Dasanguan from Longzhou (now Longxian County, Shaanxi Province) (now southwest of Baoji, Shaanxi Province) and captured Lizhou (now Guangyuan, Sichuan Province), Longzhou (now Renshou, Sichuan Province) and Shunqing. Song of Jianzhou (now in Jianzhong, Sichuan), Pengzhou (now southeast of Yilong, Sichuan) and Guang 'an Army (now North Guang 'an, Sichuan) will surrender shamelessly. Therefore, Meng Ge, who was approaching the fishing city, was arrogant. He thought that Wang Jian was intimidated by his power and would surrender without a fight, so he sent Jin Guobao to the fishing city to summon Wang Jian to surrender. Who knows that his estimate is completely wrong.

Wang Jian not only refused to surrender, but also captured Jin Guobao, declared that he surrendered to the crime of treason and executed the law in public in the training ground. Mengge was furious when he heard that Wang Jian refused to surrender and killed Jin Guobao. So on February 3, the seventh year of Bao You (AD 1259), he led an army into the fishing city. Governor Meng Ge led the armies to cross the chicken feet beach to Shizi Mountain, where they were at the gates.

From February 7th to the end of March, we successively attacked Yizicheng, Zhenximen Fort, Dongxinmen, Qishengmen and Baoguomen, all of which were repelled by the soldiers and civilians of Fishing City. From April 3 to 22, there was a thunderstorm for 21 days in a row, and the Mongolian army temporarily stopped attacking. As soon as the thunderstorm stopped, Mongo ordered to attack the national defense gate, and once attacked the outer city on the night of the 24th. Wang Jian not only led the soldiers and civilians to defend closely, but also used the night to open the city gate to assault the Mongols, thus forcing Mongols to order Zheng Wen to lead 4,111 troops to patrol around the fishing mountain, otherwise they would not be able to sleep at night. In May, the war continued in Fishing City. However, the Mongolian army came from the desert in the north, and was not adapted to the climate in the south. After a heavy rain, it was followed by extreme heat and dysentery, and the morale of the Mongolian army was low and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

on the contrary, after several months of fighting, with Wang Jian and other leaders, the fighting spirit of the soldiers and civilians is even higher, and the generals can be in the city? Sit with a lid on? , calmly command. In a fierce battle, the Mongolian general Dong Wenwei and others took turns to attack the fishing city. As a result, the ladder was broken by the soldiers and civilians defending the city with flying stones, and the soldiers were killed and injured by flying stones, so they had to return it. Dong Shiyuan, Dong Wenwei's nephew, just arrived from Dengzhou, led a fresh army, and requested to continue the attack instead of Dong Wenwei. He was head-on and fought hard on the mountain, but he still lost in succession, and Dong Shiyuan almost lost his life. Sticking to the fishing city for several months greatly encouraged the soldiers and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty who fought against the Mongolian army, and Lizong also admitted: Wang Jianying adhered to the city, and even Song Jieyi, who was far away in Lin 'an, was the crown of Shu's cities? .

In late May, Song will take advantage of the downwind to break through the pontoon bridge in Linshi, Fuzhou (now Fuling, Sichuan), and break through the blockade of Abachi Jiajiang, which is dozens of miles long. In early June, Sichuan made Lv Wende lead more than a thousand warships from Chongqing, and went up the Jialing River to save the fishing city, which was defeated by Mongolian Shi Tianze. The Mongols defeated Chang Wende's reinforcements and triumphantly attacked the fishing city. On June 5th, Wang Dechen, the forward general of the Mongolian army, chose elite soldiers to attack the outer city at night. Wang Jian led his troops to fight, but Wang Dechen was not allowed to enter. He wanted to adopt the policy of dividing the army and the people, so he rode alone and shouted to the city. Lv Wende's reinforcements have been defeated by us, and the fishing city will be lost sooner or later. You should surrender as early as possible, and I will keep the soldiers and civilians alive. Don't fight against Wang Jian and die? ! Before the words were finished, there was a shower of flying stones in the city, and Wang Dechen was hit by flying stones. It happened that it was raining heavily. Wang Jian led the soldiers and civilians out of the city to pursue, and Wang Dechen quickly fled back to the camp and soon died.

In the siege, Meng Ge lost his troops, but he still couldn't capture the fishing town. He wanted to know what it was like in the city, and ordered his soldiers to build a platform and a building outside the west gate, with masts erected upstairs, and a flying car on it, ready to send people up and spy out the real situation in the city. When Wang Jian saw it in the city, he knew that it was the enemy who wanted to observe the actual situation and ordered people to drive the gun emplacement and wait. On this day, I saw that the flying car had just risen, and before I could see the city clearly, the soldiers and civilians in the fishing city used guns to hit it. The flying arrows and boulders were like rain, the mast was interrupted, and the soldiers in the flying car were thrown a hundred paces away and fell dead.

at this moment, Meng Ge was leading his troops to stand on the stage to supervise the war, and was injured by gunfire (it was said that he hit the flying stone). Wang Jian asked people to pick up two live fish weighing 31 kilograms in Tianchi Lake, make hundreds of bread, and send people to the Mongolian military camp, with a letter to tell the Mongolian ruler: You northern soldiers can cook fresh fish and eat bread, and in another ten years, you can't break through this city? . When Mongo saw fresh fish and bread, he knew that there was plenty of drinking water and food in the city, and read Wang Jian's letters. He knew that the soldiers and civilians in the fishing city were very strong in their will to fight and defend, and they were eager to attack. He was seriously injured and many soldiers died because of injuries, so he had to retreat. When the Mongolian army retreated to the mountain of sorrow army, Meng Ge's injury became heavy, and when he passed the Wentang Gorge in Jinjianshan, he died of the injury. In retaliation for Mongo's death in Fishing City, the Mongolian army killed everyone on the way to the north, and as many as 21,111 innocent people were killed along the way.

because the main force of Mongolia was blocked in the fishing city, they could not respond to each other and could not meet the plan of the three-way meeting in Ezhou. Mengge was injured and died, and the Mongolian army of attacking Shu retreated, and there was an internal struggle for the throne. Kublai Khan was anxious to return to the north and fight for the throne, so he accepted Jia Sidao's peace, and all the Mongolian armies that attacked the Southern Song Dynasty retreated.

In this war, the defense of Fishing Town led by Wang Jian played a great role. It prevented the elite main force of Mongolia from joining forces with Kublai Khan and other armies from entering and leaving Lin 'an, which caused great casualties and consumed the strength of the Mongolian army. In particular, the killing of Mongo split the Mongolian ruling group and promoted the retreat of Kublai Khan and other Mongolian troops. This not only enabled the dying Southern Song Dynasty to live in peace for 21 years, but also temporarily saved the Han people from being ravaged and enslaved by Mongolian rulers. At the same time, it also had an impact on the wars being waged by Mongolian troops in Eastern Europe and Central Asia at that time. Due to the great role of defending the Fishing Town, at the beginning of the fourth year (AD 1268) of Xianchun, Duzong (Zhao Qi) of the Southern Song Dynasty, a temple was built near the Fishing Town to commemorate Wang Jian, and the soldiers and civilians of Hezhou published and carved a huge inscription on the cliff of Fishing Mountain. Firmly support half of the fish city with one pillar? To praise Wang Jian's contribution and a glorious page of national history written by the soldiers and civilians of Fishing City! Wang Jian's contribution praises a glorious page of national history written by the soldiers and civilians of Fishing City!

after the retreat of the Mongolian army, the court of the Southern Song Dynasty made Wang Jian our envoy of Ningyuan Army and the founding uncle of Qingshui County. In the first year of Song Lizong Jingding (AD 1261), Wang Jian was transferred to Lin 'an as an idle official. In the fourth year of Jingding (A.D. 1263), Jia Sidao was jealous of Wang Jian's talent, pushed him out, and ordered him to know the peace envoys in Hezhou (now Anhui County). Wang Jian felt that there was no way to serve the country, and he died in March of the following year in the state office. The ending was lamentable!
