Zhenhaikou coastal defense site

Zhenhai is located in the middle of China's coastline and the estuary of Yongjiang river. It goes north to Qilu, South to Fujian and Guangdong, and back to Yongjiang to Suzhou and Hangzhou. Since ancient times, merchants have gathered and sailed like a forest. The column couplet engraved on the pavilion in the middle of Zhaobao mountain, which is called "one hundred Gees competing for foreign land, one mountain Zhaobao shining in Zhongzhou", is a vivid portrayal of the maritime grand occasion at that time. Zhenhai has always been a battleground for military strategists, known as the "sea and sky town", "throat of Zhejiang Province". According to historical records, since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it has gone through 46 wars. Since the middle of Ming Dynasty, Zhenhai has gone through the war against Japanese pirates, Britain, France, Japan and foreign aggression, leaving many heroic achievements and rich and precious coastal defense sites. There are more than 30 coastal defense sites of different periods in the area of less than 2 square kilometers on the north and south sides of zhenhaikou.

Important military area

Qijiashan camp is at the top of qijiashan mountain. Qijia mountain, also known as Qipan mountain and Qijia mountain, has always been an important military area.

It is said that Qi Jiguang and other anti Japanese generals of the Ming Dynasty had encamped here. In 1881, Yang Chunhe, the chief town, built a camp. The camp is oval in plane and made of stone blocks. It can hold more than 3000 soldiers. It is the base camp of the second line Qing Dynasty. On July 21, 1940, the Kuomintang army and the Japanese invading army launched a fierce white-edged war here. After the war, the Japanese army began to retreat in a panic. Now the middle barracks of qijiashan barracks have disappeared, and the original outline of the walls around them is still preserved.

Jinji mountain is on the top of Jinji mountain. Jinji mountain confronts Zhaobao mountain across the river, which is called "Heaven sets up a grand pass". In the Ming Dynasty, a fort was built. Yu Dayou, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, put the four characters "Jianghai Chaozong" on the mountain. In 1841, Xie chaoen, the commander of Langshan Town, fought with the British army.

Jinjishan platform was built in 1884 as the command center of Zhenhai campaign in the Sino French war. There were barracks built at that time, but now only one is left. In the first month of the 11th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu (March 1885), Ouyang Li, the governor of Zhejiang Province, came to the top of the mountain to direct the battle and won three victories. The whole platform is built with stones, and the cross section is trapezoidal. There used to be a flagpole on the stage, which was used for command and communication. On the north side of Taitung, there is a stele of Ouyang Lijian's personal letter "Dushi Yudi", and on the northwest side, there is a stele of the ruins of the protective army gate.

Ten years of Guangxu

Jingyuan fort is at shawantou, east of Jinji. It was built in 1880. It was rammed with triad soil. The plane was concave. There were five blast holes, five barracks and partition walls between each chamber. In the 10th year of Guangxu (1884), the company set up four 80 pound Amsterdam rifles and one 80 pound wawasi rifles. At that time, it was the biggest fort in zhenhaikou and played an important role in the Sino French war. At present, the partition walls of five barracks and each gun room have been destroyed, and the interior of the fort has been seriously damaged, but the exterior contour of the fort is still relatively complete.

Zhenyuan fort is on the southwest side of No.4 bridge in the development zone. It was built in 1880. It is rammed with triad soil, and the plane is concave. There were five gun holes and eleven barracks. In 1884, the company set up one 80 pound front bore gun, two 46 pound front bore guns, two British local guns, two Krupp 12 cm bore guns and one 17 cm bore gun. At present, most of the fort walls have collapsed, and the two sanhetu barracks on the northwest side are relatively complete.

historical significance

The Pingyuan fort is located on the mountainside of the north foot of the east of Jinji. It was built in 1887. It was rammed with triad soil, with a curved plane. It once had a Krupp 21 cm breech gun. In 1936, Pingyuan fort was withdrawn and the cannon was moved to the new fort of Zhenyuan, Tongkou gate. There is only one residual wall of triad.

Hongyuan fort is at the north foot of the eastern Li mountain. It was built in 1887. It was rammed with Sanhe clay, and the wall of the fort was of double-layer defensive structure. It was once equipped with a Krupp 24 cm bore gun, which was the "King" of zhenhaikou fort at that time.

In 1936, two large reinforced concrete turrets were built in Hongyuan fort. Two 24 cm bore guns were retained and one 17 cm bore gun was added. At present, there are still a triad wall and a reinforced concrete fort.
