How did Deng Shichang die? Deng Shichang elegiac couplet collection

Deng Shichang was a famous naval general in modern China, and his heroic performance in the Sino-Japanese naval battle is still highly respected. He bravely launched a fierce battle with the Japanese enemy, and finally chose to sink the Japanese warship with Zhiyuan when the ammunition and food were exhausted, showing fearless patriotism. Although Zhiyuan Ship was finally sunk by the Japanese army, Deng Shichang's atmospheric festival, which chose life and death with warships and soldiers of the whole army and finally died for the country, deserves the respect and praise of all people in China.

There have been several theories about the cause of Deng Shichang's death.

First of all, in the Yellow Sea naval battle, the hull of Zhiyuan ship was injured and the ammunition was cut off. In this case, Deng Shichang calm, ordered his "express" rushed to the Japanese pioneer command ship Yoshino, determined to mutually assured destruction. Yoshino hurriedly evaded, hitting Zhiyuan Ship with fast guns and torpedoes on the way, and Zhiyuan Ship sank into the Yellow Sea, leaving only seven people.

In the second way, Zhiyuan ship was hit by a torpedo, the boiler burst, the hull sank, and 250 soldiers of the whole ship fell into the sea. Deng Shichang's entourage, Liu Zhong, threw a life buoy at him, but Deng Shichang refused to accept it, saying that "it is not just righteous to close the ship". And his dog swam to his side, grabbed his arm and wanted to be his master, but Deng Shichang pushed him away. The dog couldn't bear to leave and scratched his pigtail hair. Finally, Deng Shichang "looked at the sea and sighed, but the dog died unexpectedly".

The third theory is that Deng Shichang was finally rescued, but when he woke up, he saw that all the officers and men of the ship were buried in the sea. "He is not an only child without hesitation." He chose to die with the crew and warships, and actually committed suicide by jumping into the sea. "Shichang fell into the water, and Liu Zhongtong, a righteous servant, fell into the water, floating with Shichang, and refusing to help Verner. After being rescued by another ship, Shichang looked around the whole ship and said generously:&; Lsquo water under the bridge. & amprsquo threw himself into the sea. "

Although there are different opinions, Deng Shichang's choice of heroic martyrdom is praised by the world and will be immortal. Emperor Guangxu named him a "strong festival public" and wrote an elegy for him: "Today, tears are full, and there is a strong navy!" At that time, Deng Shichang's practice was respected and admired by the world. But today, many people put forward different views. Many people think that Deng Shichang's choice of death is actually a foolish act. You must know: "If you stay in the green hills, you are not afraid of burning without firewood!"

According to people's thinking now, Deng Shichang's wisest thing to do is to live, and then shine in the next battle, instead of choosing death. I don't agree with this statement. Mouth guns can only be mouth guns forever. People who haven't really experienced that kind of thing can only talk about it. All the crew were killed, only the captain was alive, not to mention whether * * * would reuse him again. Even if he is reused, the new crew may not recognize him.

And at that time, being a martyr was the best destination for every soldier. Universal values were there, and Deng Shichang chose to be a martyr and did what he thought was right. None of us are Deng Shichang, and I don't think anyone is qualified to judge a person's death.

Besides whether Deng Shichang's death is worth it, some people have also raised the significance of the death of Deng Shichang's dog. In the story of Deng Shichang's death, there is a saying. That is to say, after Deng Shichang fell into the water, his entourage threw him a lifebuoy, but he refused to accept it and died flagrantly. And his dog jumped into the sea and grabbed Deng Shichang's arm, hoping to save his master. But Deng Shichang refused to accept it and put his dog in the water to accompany him to death. Many modern dog lovers are totally critical of what Deng Shichang did. But what I want to say is that Deng Shichang's love for dogs should not be less than that of people now, so there should be another reason why he indulged his dog at that time.

Deng Shichang's dog is a famous fighting dog, Taiya, in Guangdong, Guangxi and Taiwan Province provinces. The dog has thick black hair. This dog only recognizes one owner in his life. The water quality of this dog is very good. This dog is a soldier. The fighter plane is dead, the flies are chirping and the flies are chirping again. Is the fly, the fighter plane dead, or the fighter plane? In the nature of this dog, he will never stop until he rescues his master. I knew I was coming to Deng Shichang, so I chose to let my dog die with me.
