The brief introduction of Dinghai Defence War pointed out that the cause of this war was the Opium War. The British invaders planned Zhoushan for a long time and wanted to set up their own military headquarters in Dinghai, so in June 1840, they killed the magistrate and the commander-in-chief of Dinghai.
By June 1840, 1 1, the British invaders had withdrawn their troops, but they never stopped thinking about how to occupy dinghai, so they launched another aggressive war against dinghai on September 26th. 184 1, the troops guarding dinghai resisted desperately, but the gap in weapons and equipment was too great. The brief introduction of Dinghai Campaign pointed out that the people of China died in this campaign, and a large number of officers and men died heroically. The Battle of Dinghai was the most tragic battle in the Opium War. During the occupation of Dinghai, Zhoushan people resisted the British invaders until they retreated.
At the same time, defending Dinghai was also the most time to annihilate British invaders in the whole Opium War. Moreover, after the British invaders occupied Dinghai, Zhoushan people insisted on clearing the field in order to crack down on the British invaders, refused to supply the enemy with food, fresh vegetables and meat necessary for life, and deliberately blocked wells and polluted water sources. At the same time, strictly prevent the emergence of traitors and comprador. Eventually, in the absence of fresh vegetables, fruits and meat, a large number of people in the army were infected with diseases due to lack of fruits and vegetables. Until February 25th, 184 1, the British invaders were forced to leave Dinghai and return to the embrace of the motherland. This point is emphasized in the brief introduction of Dinghai Defence War.
The result of the defense of Dinghai
The defending battle of Dinghai ended with the capture of Dinghai by British invaders. However, the British invaders also paid a heavy price, and the Battle of Dinghai was the most tragic battle in the Opium War.
Britain has coveted Zhoushan for a long time and has long wanted to keep it for itself. 1June, 840, finally unbearable launched a war of aggression against Zhoushan, known in history as the Battle of Dinghai. The British invaders killed the magistrate of Dinghai and the general commander, but because of the stubborn resistance of Zhoushan people, the British invaders could not attack for a long time, so they had to make a strategic retreat on 1840+065438+ 10/6, but they didn't give up, so they made another decision on September 26,1year. However, it could not withstand the crazy bombing of the British invaders' artillery, and finally Dinghai was occupied by the British invaders. 184 1 day, 1 day, Dinghai fell.
Dinghai was colonized by Britain for 4 years and 9 months, because the result of defending Dinghai was China's failure. In the end, because the people of Dinghai mobilized their own strength to clear the field, cut off water, grain and necessary fruits and vegetables for the British invaders, and because Ilibu and Yili signed an armistice agreement in Zhejiang, the British invaders finally withdrew from Dinghai, which ended the British invasion and rule of Dinghai for four years and nine months and re-established Dinghai. Although the people of Dinghai stubbornly resisted aggression, the result of defending Dinghai was still the success of the British invaders, which was the gap in weapons and equipment. However, the people of Dinghai unite with the outside world and protect their homeland, so the return of Dinghai is also an inevitable result.
Influence of Dinghai Defence War
The defense of Dinghai has a far-reaching impact. Although the defending battle of Dinghai ended with the British invaders attacking Dinghai, it inspired the China people's unanimous determination to go abroad.
After Dinghai was occupied by the British invaders, the British invaders plundered Dinghai crazily, and at the same time made a field survey of Dinghai, hoping to establish an invading army headquarters in Dinghai, gradually encroach on our land and establish long-term colonial rule based on Dinghai. However, the success of the defense of Dinghai aroused the people's spirit of struggle and resistance. The people of Dinghai, old people, women and children, all took up arms, tried their best to fight against the British invaders, and used their familiarity with the terrain to bring great harassment to the British aggressors.
Since the British invaders occupied Dinghai, people in Dinghai began to clear the field, blocking all the wells in the village, polluting the lake, cutting off the water source of the British invaders and refusing to provide any food, fruits and vegetables to the British invaders. If anyone dares to collect food for the British invaders, people will attack them directly. Although the defense of Dinghai failed, the impact of the defense of Dinghai was not all negative. The most favorable influence of the defense of Dinghai is to inspire people's rebellious spirit, unite people, pose a great threat to the enemy, and let the people of China realize that the invaders are not invincible. As long as they unite, they can repel the invaders and defend their homeland. At the same time, it also made the invaders realize the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation and improved their status. The above is an introduction to the influence of Dinghai Defence War.
