Seek the data of the Ming Dynasty's war against Japan in Tongan, Xiamen.

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates were rampant and often invaded the coast of China. Tongan County is a haunt of Japanese pirates.

Twenty years of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (154 1 year). At that time, a large number of pirates harassed the coastal villages such as Lianhe, Xuxia, Hengcuo and Dongyuan in Tongan County. Without resistance from officers and men, Japanese pirates went deep into Hung-chien Mountain and killed more than 1,000 refugees hiding in a smoky mountain cave. In order to remember this national hatred, later generations called the cave "Thousand People Cave".

In November of the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, a group of Japanese ships anchored in the five fishing villages outside Xiamen Port and plundered Tongan, Nan 'an and Hui 'an counties respectively. In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, the enemy set fire to Wuyu Village and attacked Tongan County. After the magistrate Xu Zongxuan led the soldiers and civilians into the city to resist, the enemy began to retreat. In the same year 1 1 month, more than 3,000 Japanese pirates occupied Ke Mei, Zhejiang Province (north of Zhoushan), and led by pirates Xie Lao and Hong Lao (namely Xie Ce and Hong Dizhen), they went south to Wuyu's lair. Since then, Japanese pirates have been plundering coastal counties in the north and south of Xiamen.

In the summer of the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, Wu-speaking pirates and a large number of newcomers swept the counties of Longxi, Zhangpu, Zhaoan and Changtai in the south, surrounded Quanzhou Fucheng in the north, and attacked Nan 'an and Tong 'an separately. When the enemy attacked Tongan County, it was "rain town for a long time". Li Shifang led the army and people to "plant wooden fences to defend the air-raid shelter", and Jin Wu, the instructor of the county school, led the students to defend their positions. Unable to attack for a long time, the enemy turned to burning and looting the suburbs, burning thousands of residential houses and burning the Yuhua Hall of Brahma's famous temple. The enemy divided their forces from Xiangzhi, Shi Hu and Wu Xun, joined Wang Lin as one, and led the shipmaster in pursuit.

On March 23, the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, the enemy expected Luo to land and burn Tongan Island (now Jinmen Island). The one who suffered the most was Guan Ao. At that time, there were more than 10,000 refugees in the city where the Macao Public Prosecutor's Office was located. They elected Yang Keshao as the leader and organized more than 4,000 Ding Zhuang to defend the city. Due to the lack of water in the city, the city was broken when the organization broke through on the ninth day of April. The Japanese set fire to the city, and bodies were everywhere inside and outside the city. Countless women threw themselves into the sea, but only more than 200 people survived the first breakthrough. In May, the Japanese attacked Houpu. Although Houpu was not built, the people had already organized training and coordinated defense, and the Japanese army could not attack it. Later, Tong 'an county magistrate Tan Weiding led the township soldiers to cross the sea to help each other, and the self-defense forces in the city cooperated with reinforcements to fight the Japanese pirates. In the end, the Japanese were defeated and captured seven people, including Yasi and Anvida. Wuzhou's Japanese disaster "lasts for 50 days, and the village is empty." Soon, more than 3,000 Japanese pirates stationed in Yuegang moved out of the harbor, and officers and men ambushed in Haicang, Baishi, Zhenhai and Jingwei, winning every battle; Lin Wang and commander-in-chief Deng Yigui pursued the Japanese pirates in Gulangyu and Ciyu, sinking dozens of Japanese ships and beheading hundreds of people, but the dumb king Sun Shangjian and the thieves who colluded with the Japanese escaped, and most of them fell into the sea and drowned. The remnant Japanese troops stationed in Wuyu moved to South Australia.

Since then, Yu and Qi Jiguang led troops to wipe out the remaining Japanese pirates who fled to Guangdong and Fujian. By the forty-five years of Jiajing, the enemies along the southeast coast were basically wiped out.

Yuekou's "Walking in Kang Wang"

Yuekou village in Tongan county is outside the south gate of the city and is often attacked by the enemy. Tan Weiding, the magistrate of a county, defeated Mi Yan's enemy in Sankui, Tongan and the south gate of the county.

156 1 At the beginning, the enemy harassed Yuekou again, and the village soldiers immediately rose to resist. However, due to the enemy's strong crossbow and sharp arrow, he was very interested, and the township soldiers were poorly equipped, and they gradually became invincible. The villagers prayed to God for peace. Someone was moved by this scene and saw the marshal enshrined in the village, commonly known as Prince Kang Buddha. Head like a bucket, eyes like two bells, wearing a "bucket" (crown), wearing a "black python" (black shirt), sitting on a chariot about ten feet square, with a five-battalion flag inserted on it. He's powerful and thinks. This initiative has been approved by everyone. On the first night of April, the Buddha statue of Kang Wang was mounted on a wooden wheel and rolled out. Armed villagers followed the chariot, waved flags and shouted, and rushed to the Japanese camp. The enemy didn't know the ins and outs, so they rushed to fight and tried their best to shoot an arrow. The soldiers in the village fought bravely with the help of the Buddha statue and blocked the arrow. In the hazy sky, the enemy can't tell the truth from the false, only seeing that the sharp arrow can't defeat the general, thinking that the heavenly soldiers will come to the world like a flood, and seeing the camp gate being washed away, there was a moment of chaos. In addition, the military and civilians in the city heard the news and came to support, and the neighboring villages and villages copied in all directions, annihilated the invading enemy in one fell swoop and won a great victory.

In the evening, everyone carried the "Kang Wang" Buddha statue, beat gongs and drums, galloped and cheered, and marched all over the country to celebrate the victory, commonly known as "Walking Kang Wang". In order to commemorate the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and be glad for the people to avoid disasters, Yuekou holds a "trip to Kang Wang" every year on the first night of April, hoping to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters and become a local folk custom.

In October of the forty-first year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invaders from South Australia joined forces with the remnants of the Japanese army defeated by Qi Jiguang in Fuqing in Tian Niu (now Longtian), besieged Tongan City again, and then captured Fuquan City. In the first month of the 43rd year of Jiajing, outside Xianyou County, Qi Jiguang defeated the enemies fleeing south and besieged Anping (now Anhai). Hearing that the Qi army was coming, he continued to flee south to Tongan. On the fifth day of February, the Qi army chased Wang Cangping and killed more than 100 Japanese. Many Japanese people fell off the cliff and died, and the rest fled Zhangpu area.
