history

Nanzi ammunition depot in Qing Dynasty, located on the coast of Mozhu reef in Lushun, is a semi underground ammunition depot. It was built in 1880. At that time, Li Hongzhang, Minister of Beiyang in Qing Dynasty, built the military port and battery in Lushun. It is a relatively complete ammunition depot in China. It covers an area of 1200 square meters, faces north from south, is 100 meters long and about 6 meters high, and stores 1200 tons of 14 kinds of ammunition. The main storehouse on the front is used to store warheads, and symmetrical East-West sub storehouses are built on both sides to store explosives, detonators and pullers.

Nanzi ammunition depot was built by the Qing army from 1880 to 1884. In November 1894, the Japanese army captured Lushun in the Sino Japanese War of 1894, and it became the ammunition depot of the Japanese army. The three countries "intervened to return Liao", and the Japanese army withdrew from Lushun. In March 1898, the tsarist Russia forced to rent the brigade. In February 1904, the war broke out between Russia and Russia. The depot was the ammunition depot and barracks dormitory for the tsarist Russia to resist the Japanese attack. After the defeat of tsarist Russia, the Japanese army once again occupied Lushun in January 1905, and the depot became the ammunition supply place for the Japanese army to invade China. In August 1945, the Japanese army surrendered and the Soviet army entered Lushun. Nanzi magazine served as the headquarters and headquarters of the Soviet coast defense forces. In May 1955, the Soviet army withdrew, and the coastal defense force of our Navy took over. In August 1999, Lushun Qing Dynasty Nanzi magazine was named as patriotic education base by Dalian municipal Party committee and Dalian municipal government.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, after the impact of two Opium Wars, some officials of the Qing government began to understand the power of "western" strong ships and cannons, and the Westernization Movement began to rise.

In 1880, under the strong support of Li Hongzhang, Minister of Beiyang, the "Qing Empire" began to build a military port in Lushun. In order to enhance the defense capability, several artillery turrets were built along the land coast, equipped with nearly 100 guns - eight guns were set up at the muzhujiao Fort alone; and several ammunition depots were built for wartime needs, of which Nanzi ammunition depot was the main one. The ammunition depot is located on the prominently prominently promontory between the golden mountain bathing beach and modzhu reef in Lushun. From the appearance, it has a small area: it is about 50 meters long from east to west and more than 20 meters wide from north to South (there are two small depots in the East and West on both sides of the main depot). It is hard to think that under the hidden appearance, there is a large ammunition depot with a volume of nearly 10000 square meters. The characters "Huju" and "Longpan" carved on the wall of the warehouse are said to be written by Minister Li. The ammunition in the warehouse is mainly supplied to the nearby coastal fort. In the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, the warehouse played a certain role. The underground ammunition warehouse is still intact. It belongs to the municipal cultural relics protection unit and patriotic education base. It contains ancient cast iron guns, shells from different historical periods of China and Russia, and different types of guns.
