Chapter 1669: Feelings by the Han River

The Han River is one of the major rivers in the peninsula. It originates from Mount Wutai at the western foot of the Taebaek Mountains and has a total length of more than 500 kilometers. After flowing through Seoul, it joins the Imjin River and flows into Ganghwa Bay. Koreans regard the Han River as their mother river, just like the Chinese regard the Yellow River. The section of the Han River flowing through Seoul is more than 60 kilometers long. The river is wide and the narrowest part is nearly a thousand meters. A large river is the best embellishment of a highly modernized city, and it is also a gift from nature. Any city near the river will dress up this gift given by God beautifully.

After decades of development, Seoul, which was in ruins during the Korean War, has become a highly modern city, and the banks of the Han River have also become famous tourist areas. There are many famous scenic spots along the Han River, such as the 63 Building, the National Assembly Hall, the Han River Bridge, the Musical Fountain, etc., and the scenery is really amazing at night when the lights are dim.

The Han River Citizens Park has a bicycle lane, and you can ride a bicycle to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Han River.

At night, the neon lights on both sides of the Han River and the lights of passing vehicles make the night spots of the Civic Park very charming. The gurgling river against the backdrop of this beautiful night scene is particularly moving. Leaning on the fence in the gentle evening breeze, you can see the beautiful scenery along the Han River.

"Not to mention, the night view of Seoul is very beautiful." When accompanying Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing to the bank of the Han River, Luo Ziling couldn't help feeling: "Although the Koreans are a bit despicable, their achievements in construction are still the same. not bad."

"This is the second time I've come to Seoul." Yang Qingyin straightened her long hair blown away by the wind, and said with a smile, "The last time my mother brought me here with Aoba, we were only in junior high school. In a blink of an eye Years passed and everything became strange."

"It's the first time for both of us, sister and brother." Luo Yuqing took Luo Ziling's arm and looked at the night scene. "It's really good. I want to take a few photos and post them on Moments to prove that I've been here before."

"Speaking of coming to Seoul, I thought of an interesting story," Luo Ziling pulled Yang Qingyin over and let the two women stay by his side, and then said in a cheerful tone: "One time my great-grandfather told me about something. At that time, he said that he saw a tune on the Internet. An elderly Chinese came to South Korea for tourism. Obey the Korean law and don't embarrass the Chinese people. When he got angry, he immediately retorted, saying that it was not the first time he came, but he didn't need a visa when he came here before, and he drove here swaggeringly, and no one dared to stop them."

Hearing what Luo Ziling said, both women looked at him curiously, wanting to hear what would happen next.

"The Korean was surprised. He said how could it be possible that he didn't need a visa, and he drove here swaggeringly. The old man said that he was driving a tank back then. When he drove the tank into the downtown area of ​​Seoul, both the Korean army and the Mi army I ran away." Speaking of this, Luo Ziling laughed loudly: "In the 1950s, our heroic volunteer army reached the 37th parallel and occupied Seoul. At that time, no one really dared to make things difficult for them, and no one ask them for a visa,

And ask them to abide by Korean laws. Coming here in a tank, how domineering, hahahahaha!"

"I guess that's what happened." Yang Qingyin looked at Luo Ziling with a smile, "Actually, your great-grandfather participated in the war to aid Korea, and he also came to Seoul. He told you about it because he saw something. And feel it.”

"I heard my mother talk about the past of my great-grandfather. He should have been the head of the regiment when the country was founded. In the later period of the war to aid Korea, he was the deputy commander. He personally participated in the command of the battle against Seoul. The team he led first attacked Seoul."

Ling Ruonan also told him that Ling Jinhua told her that when they led the army to capture Seoul, Li Qiwei, the commander of the coalition army, left a sentence on the wall of the office, "Commander of the Eighth Army of the United States, I would like to pay tribute to the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army." There was a bit of provocation in the polite greeting. When Ling Jinhua saw these words, he was very angry and vowed to capture Li Qiwei alive.

It's a pity that the Volunteer Army had to abandon Seoul because of logistical supply problems.

When talking about this, Luo Ziling stopped and stared at the scenery of the Han River in front of him.

He clearly knew that although the Chinese army occupied and ruled the peninsula many times in history, the Chinese army camped in Seoul. The time in the 1950s might be the last time. In the future, there may not be such an opportunity.

In fact, since ancient times, the entire peninsula of Liaodong has been the territory of China. The Han Dynasty set up four counties in Liaodong, and brought the current North and South Koreas under the rule of the Han Dynasty; Later, the Tang army destroyed Goryeo and forced Silla to surrender. On this peninsula, the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, the Andong Governor's Mansion, and the Jilin Prefecture Governor's Mansion were successively set up.

The seat of the Andong Protectorate is in Pyongyang.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Central Plains dynasties stationed troops on the peninsula.

It's a pity that all the historical glory has become the past, a fragment of history. It is impossible for Huaxia's influence to be so great anymore, and the grand occasion of Siyi's surrender will never appear again, and all the glory has become a thing of the past. Missing the past, everything can only sigh.

Seeing Luo Ziling's sudden silence, Luo Yuqing was surprised.

"Zi Ling, what are you thinking?"

"I was thinking," Luo Ziling sighed, "During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Su Dingfang led more than 100,000 people across the sea to make an expedition to Baekje, and finally destroyed his country and captured his king, Fuyu Yici. The whole process only lasted ten days. At that time, the Han people were the super masters of this land, and no one could compete with the Kingdom of Heaven. Sixty years ago, we also set foot here, and our army was stationed here, but now, we can only Standing here as a tourist to enjoy the scenery. It is sad to think of the strength and glory of the past."

"Yeah, it's really sad." Yang Qingyin nodded.

She completely understood Luo Ziling's thoughts at this time, and she herself was a little sad.

Many tourists who went to Vladivostok, Russia, also felt the same feeling when they saw the Ming Dynasty monuments left there and the Chinese characters on the monuments—a heavy sense of loss.

Luo Yuqing, who didn't know much about history, couldn't help being dumbfounded when she heard Luo Ziling say this: "You won't lie to me, right? In the Tang Dynasty, a hundred thousand horses could cross the sea to fight? An entire country could be destroyed within ten days? Are you making up history? Right? It’s not that easy for the Chinese navy to send 100,000 people overseas, right? In the Tang Dynasty, navigation technology was much behind than it is now, and there were no large-tonnage warships. How could they send hundreds of thousands of troops across the sea? To the other side of the strait?"

"Go back and take a good look at the history books." Luo Ziling was a little annoyed, "You can ask Qing Yin if there is such a thing!"

Luo Yuqing looked at Yang Qingyin, still not convinced.

Most girls don't like history and don't know much about history. They don't necessarily know about such events that are not recorded in history textbooks --- unless a girl majoring in history like Yang Qingyin.

"Zi Ling said all the real historical events, it is really amazing," Yang Qingyin smiled, "Back then, Su Dingfang indeed led an army of hundreds of thousands across the sea to attack Baekje, and it only took more than ten days to wipe out all of Baekje. Jiguo captured his king alive. Like Liu Rengui, who defeated the Japanese army in the waters near Baijiang Village, was dismissed from his post because the ship escorting supplies capsized in this battle, and then joined the army in vain and made military exploits In the end, he became the prime minister. The Tang army before the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty was indeed invincible in the world, much more powerful than the current US army. At that time, those who really violated our strong Han will be punished even if they are far away. Gaochang State Li Shimin was so angry that he asked Hou Junji to lead the attack. Hou Junji led the army across the desert and appeared at the foot of Gaochang city by surprise, scaring Gaochang king Ju Wentai to death. Yes, Ju Wentai was frightened to death by the sudden appearance of the Tang army. These are not myths and legends, but real history. At that time, 25,000 Tang Anxi troops were able to subdue the nearly 4 million square kilometers of Anxi Protectorate Su Dingfang mentioned by Ziling just now led the army to destroy the three countries of Baekje, West Turkic, and Congling successively. He has made outstanding military exploits, but not many people know his reputation, mainly because there were too many famous generals at that time. Yes That’s right, that’s Su Dingfang, when he led an army to quell the Western Turkic rebellion, his 10,000 cavalry, a mixture of infantry and cavalry, was once surrounded by 100,000 cavalry from the Western Turkic leader Ashina Helu.”

"What happened later?" Luo Yuqing, a history idiot, was also aroused.

"Ashina Helu escaped with only thirty-six riders, and was finally captured alive." Luo Ziling gave the answer for Yang Qingyin.

"Ah!" Luo Yuqing was dumbfounded, with an expression of disbelief.

Seeing Luo Yuqing stunned, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin looked at each other and smiled.

When talking about these things, they feel that they have very common feelings and the same resonance.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Luo Ziling feels so much better towards Yang Qingyin than to Ouyang Feifei.
