/kloc-When I was 0/5 years old, my grandmother passed away, and I only lived with my brother Ziqing. Soon Ziqing died of illness, leaving her helpless and wandering around. However, he was strong, powerful, and learned a good martial arts, so he sent cattle to protect illegal salt and worked as a bodyguard for his employer.
The bumpy course formed his character of "generosity and kindness" and "fearless". He once joined the peasant army in Bobai and soon joined the Qing army. 185 1 year, the Taoist Committee of Gao Lian was granted the right to "quell minor disturbances" and voted for Governor Changlongda of Guangxi to participate in the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
After several years of fighting, from general manager, commander-in-chief, guerrilla, general, deputy general and commander-in-chief, to 1862, the prefect of Guangxi was awarded the yellow jacket, which made great contributions. After the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it moved to Guangxi to "suppress chaos" and suppress the peasant rebels in Guangxi.
1882, dissatisfied with the corruption of officialdom, he "called in sick" and "opened a vacant room" and lived in Baishuitang. After the Sino-French War broke out, he was appointed as the Yong ying supervisor of 25 counties in Guangdong Province, including Gao, Lei, Lian and Qiong.
Peng Yulin, the imperial envoy of Guangdong Ministry of War, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, summoned the old army to set up an army.
Feng Zicai, who was nearly seventy years old, mounted his horse again. In the winter of Guangxu nine years, he led the army to "gallop Longzhou and attack the defense". Feng Zicai attaches great importance to state affairs, strictly abides by military discipline, unites friendly forces, and collects defeated troops. Build long walls and dig deep trenches.
The soldiers and civilians at the front elected him as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy against France. 1On March 22nd, 885, the French invading army, consisting of more than 3,000 men and 3 artillery units, launched an attack on Zhennan Gate. Feng Zicai Qian led the soldiers and civilians at the front to bravely resist the enemy. In eight days, more than 65,438+10,000 French troops were annihilated, and a great victory was achieved in Zhennanguan-lang son.
After Feng Zicai returned from Vietnam, the front line of the anti-French war, the Manchu court "rewarded the prince with a title of less protection and arrived without pomp". In the twentieth year of Guangxu, the number of Shangshu was added.
In the following ten years, he guarded Qin Lian's frontier defense, crossed Qiongzhou Strait to suppress the uprising in CoCo Lee, Hainan, and led troops to Zhenjiang to stop the Japanese invasion during the Sino-Japanese War. He also served as a magistrate in Yunnan and Guizhou and organized military affairs in Guangxi.
In the 29th year of Guangxu, Feng Zicai died at the age of 85.

Zhennanguan triumph:
After the Taiping Rebellion was suppressed, the Qing Dynasty entered the so-called "revival" period, which mainly meant that the civil war was basically settled and the Qing court's rule was temporarily stable. Learning from the west in industry set off the "Westernization Movement" and made some progress.
At the same time, although we haven't got rid of the semi-feudal and semi-colonial pattern politically, it was really exciting for a while, because some outstanding Chinese sons and daughters dared to fight for the nation and won some victories against foreign aggression, such as "Left" and recovering Xinjiang, and Feng Zicai and Liu Yongfu defeated the French invaders.
Among them, Feng Zicai, who was nearly seventy years old, personally took the lead, took his son to the front line of the fire, defeated the invading army, and defended the gateway of China, which is worthy of every China person's pride.
Feng Zicai personally commanded the victory of Zhennanguan, which was closely related to Feng Zicai's determination to fight to the death at that time, the bloody reconstruction of the gate of Zhennanguan by the head of the French army, the commander's unique strategic decision and the weapons and equipment of the Qing army at that time.
1885, French invaders entered China and Guangxi all the way from Vietnam, and even blew up the gate of Zhennan Gate. The situation is very urgent.
Embarrassed, the Qing government thought of Feng Zicai, who was at home at that time. Previously, when Zhang Shusheng went to Feng Zicai's hometown to invite him out of the mountain, he saw the veteran herding cattle at home with his children, and "dressed in short clothes and barefoot, he reprimanded him for going home with his children". At that time, Feng Zicai refused the request of the mountain.
However, as soon as I heard that the situation in Zhennanguan was critical, I immediately volunteered to go to war. Feng Zicai, who was appointed as the commander-in-chief before the war, showed the demeanor that a generation of famous soldiers should have. He has a keen eye and implements flexible offensive and defensive tactics.
First of all, a long fortification was built between the east and west mountains to keep the enemy's main force in front of the long wall. After strengthening the defensive position, we did not wait for the enemy to come, but took the initiative to test the enemy's firepower.
Attack the French army the night before the war, destroy its battery, disturb its position, and lay the foundation for his active charge the next day.
What is particularly rare is that in the specific campaign process, Feng Zicai not only played the role of an excellent commander in strategizing and deploying troops, but also set an example and went to the front in person, which can be said to be the role of commander-in-chief and vanguard officer.
His example has played a good leading role for soldiers and even local civil resistance organizations. "He shouted from the wall with a spear and led his two sons to prosperity. The army is seventy years old, full of blood and fighting to the death. They are both coaches and experts.
Of course, Feng Zicai's charge to kill the enemy is not a desperate battle, but a tactical one. In addition to taking the lead, he also used a series of mountain tactics, such as ambush, late-night raid and detour, which made the French army breathless. Finally, it won a great victory in the town.
