Chapter 870 Stories and Customs
“However, even after Liu Zheng surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, Diaoyu City was quickly recaptured by the Song army, and showed unyielding and loyalty in the subsequent battle. "< br>
"In the first year of Deyou of the Song Dynasty, the Yuan army launched a massive attack on Sichuan, and when the cities along the river heard the news and surrendered, Mei Yingchun, who at that time held the title of Minister of Rites of the Southern Song Dynasty and was appointed as the "pacifying envoy of Tongchuan Road and the acquaintance of Jiang Anzhou" surrendered again without a fight; "
“The next year, Xian Khunpeng and Liu Lin, the righteous men in Divine Arm City, raised their righteousness. With the help of five thousand infantrymen in Diaoyu City, they opened the city gate inside and outside, annihilated the Yuan army in Divine Arm City, and captured Mei Yingchun alive. Behead on the spot After the first demonstration, the Song army recaptured the Divine Arm City. "
"Two years later, the cities in the upper reaches such as Jiading and Xuzhou that had protected Manzhou had already surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and Manzhou had become an isolated city."
"In the second year of Jingyan, Duanzong of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan army completed the iron wall siege of the defenders of Divine Arm City. The focus of the siege was on the east gate and the south gate of Divine Arm Zui. Divine Arm City was besieged for several months. The city's reinforcements were also ambushed by the Yuan army on the way and could not be reinforced."
< br>"At this time, the lone army in the city had been defending for several months, 'eating everyone and eating each other', but the soldiers and the people refused to surrender and fought bloody battles to the end. In November, the Yuan army launched a fierce attack, and the east gate was breached in the fierce battle. The tide of Yuan soldiers and the weak, hungry and exhausted defenders The people started fighting in the streets. "
"Following that, the Yuan Navy broke through the south gate and started a two-pronged attack."
"The city was filled with flames and killings, and the city was plunged into blood. In the sea, in the end, Wang Shichang, the guard of Divine Arm City, died in battle, alone. The city fell."
"When Wen Tianxiang heard that the Divine Arm City had been lost, he sadly wrote the poem "General of Luzhou" in prison to express his condolences to Wang Shichang: "The general in the southwest is full of worries." What a misfortune, sigh and lament again! '"
"On the night after the fall of Divine Arm City, the people risked their lives to smuggle out Wang Shichang's body and bury him in Foyin Town, Jiachuan County, which is now 'Jiangjun Lake'."
"And In the current Divine Arm City, apart from this huge Xuanwu statue In addition, there are two statues full of contrast and irony..."
"Here comes the elbow? Are you talking about ancient times?" A handsome guy wearing a straw hat walked over from the edge of the open dam. It was Xiangyu, the classmate of Class 3 who was led by He Xiu in Zhou Zhi's class.
"I heard from my uncle that a group of people the same age as me came here, so I guessed it was you. They promised to come and play with me during the holidays, but they asked me to wait!" Xiang Yu was very happy and joined everyone. Saying hello all over the place.
"The natives are here." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Hurry up and take us to see the great land father-in-law and the mother-in-law."
"What's so good about that? It's almost weathered." Xiang Yu said, "Why don't you go to my house to eat plums and grapes? Or we can make fresh jelly jelly cakes. We have agreed to stay at my house tonight and not leave!"
“Don’t make trouble!” Zhou Zhi said : "I came here to receive patriotic education. I have to leave anyway. It's not too late to eat jelly and so on after seeing these two places."
"Let's go, let's go back quickly." "Xiang Yu expressed his appreciation for this "patriotic education base". I didn’t feel anything at all. I had played everywhere since I was a child and there was no sense of surprise at all. I couldn’t stand the seriousness on the faces of my friends as if they were dealing with important issues. I waved and turned around to lead the way: “By the way, when we were young, we used to beat our mother-in-law. Throw mud, adults all You can’t stop it, but you can’t throw it at the big land. You’ll get beaten. Do you know the reason?”
Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “I’ll tell you when the time comes.”
The two statues are one. In the northwest corner of Xiaochangba, one is on the cliff outside the west gate.
The statue carved on the boulder at the northwest corner of the school field dam in the Divine Arm City is of an official with a square head and big ears, wearing court clothes, a tall figure, and a dignified appearance. It is well preserved, with his back facing east and west. Miraculously, it is half-length. However, Only half of his body is nearly two meters tall. "
" Even Xiang Yu probably doesn't know the origin of this statue. Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Real statues of Tudigong are rarely this big." So people here call this statue "Big Earth". "Actually, this is a Southern Song Dynasty official. I don't know his name anymore. I only know that he is a Hucao." "
"When Liu Zheng rebelled and the city fell, this unknown Hucao, under Liu Zheng's butcher's knife, independently 'erected the east veranda and bowed to the east.' Afterwards, he died with great righteousness. "
" Later generations expressed their gratitude to him and specially carved a statue of him to stand here. Later in the Yuan Dynasty, in order to protect the statue, the local people claimed that he was the father-in-law of the land, so that it could be preserved. ”
"In fact, China has such a tradition. The legend of a loyal man turning into a city god after his death is recorded in many ancient notebooks. Although this barbarian Hucao did not leave a name, he still left an image, but For our gratitude today.”
"Let us bow three times to this martyr. Loyalty and patriotism are things that cannot be lost even to the heavens." Zhou Zhi thought of the "calm and patriotic" memes that were popular on Douyin in later generations, as well as those who posted "patriotic" messages to others. I can’t help but feel a little emotional about the behavior of labeling it like "anchor".
In another twenty or thirty years, it will become a strange situation to be able to speak irresponsibly. Various distorted and misleading remarks are widely circulated in some big media and even have a market. It is really a bit disturbing. Speechless.
......
Liu Zheng rebelled against the Song Dynasty. At least he was sorry by the court. These people picked up their bowls to eat, put down their bowls and cursed their mothers. Their character was not even as good as Liu Zheng's.
After bowing to the "big land", everyone walked around the foot of the mountain and returned to the lotus pond. On the cliff outside the west gate, there were two cliff carvings.
Both of these two stone carvings are somewhat severely weathered. It can be seen that the stone carvings were carved into an arched stone niche about one and a half meters above the ground. In the middle of the picture, a man is sitting in the south, tall and tall. Nearly two meters tall, her head is raised back like a hair knot, and her hands are placed on her knees, like an old woman, with an arrogant expression.
On the lower left side is a small figure kneeling in front of him. He is less than one meter long and looks like a naughty boy.
There are waiters on the left and right behind the seated statue. It is even shorter, only thirty centimeters tall.
Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "This statue is the legend of 'Sun Sun beats the mother-in-law and changes the state to the county'."
"Yes." Xiang Yu said: "There is also a name for 'beating the mother-in-law'. I heard that it was a mother-in-law who was resting outside the door with her grandson in her arms. The grandson was naughty and raised his hands to the mother-in-law and said 'beat'. Beat'."
"A stupid official happened to be passing by and thought this It was a serious crime of disobedience and ignorance of filial piety, so he reported it to the emperor. "
"When the emperor learned about this, he was furious and ordered that Manzhou was not allowed to be established as a state and was demoted to Jiangyang County. This was called "Sun Sun Da Po". , the story of changing states and counties."
"In fact, this is the story. The statue here is the historical record of Liu Zheng's surrender to the Yuan Dynasty. "Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "'Liu Zheng surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, the Lu people were ashamed. In the form of a cliff statue, the theme of Liu Zheng's meeting with Kublai Khan and the slave surrendering to his master was chosen. , nailing Liu Zheng to the pillar of shame in history. "
"But at that time, under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the locals had to cleverly cover up the stone statues to avoid causing misfortune. The theory of changing states and counties."
"Now everyone knows the reason why the local custom is to throw away the 'mother-in-law' instead of throwing away the land."
