Brother Ma said: "Jipinchang is one of the most famous ancient towns in our Po City, because it is the junction of Po City and Zigong City, and it is also a place where the right and wrong are mixed. ”
Banzhilian said: "We all know that there is a saying on the rivers and lakes that there is an upper ninth grade and a lower ninth stream, do you know why it is called the Nine Rank Field?
Hu Lihua said: "Jipinchang was originally called Hujiachang, and Huajiachang, Chenjiachang, Linjiachang, Zhangjiachang, Lijiachang, Hejiachang, Chajiachang, known as the eight ancient fields of Pocheng. It is said that it is because our ancestor Hu surnamed Hu Xiaoyang made a fortune by selling salt and coal on the Qingxi River with a fleet, and built a Sihe Fort in Hujiachang. Hu Xiaoyang ranks ninth, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called Hu Jiuye, and he has great influence in the local area. The housekeeper and master of the Hu family persuaded him to spend money to buy an official. "Master, no matter how much money you have, no matter how many people you have, you are still a citizen, not an official. It's not that we don't have the ability to be officials, so why not spend money to buy an official to do it and live an official addiction. In order to get over his official addiction, Hu Jiuye was determined to spend money to buy an official. By dotting up and down, he spent a lot of money to buy an alternate magistrate's official position. It is said that this alternate magistrate is two levels shorter than the magistrate, equivalent to a deputy county-level non-leading cadre, and is known as the Jiupin Sesame Official. The cadres of this post do not need to go to the county government to work as directors, and there is no need for attendance and assessment in the organization, and only when the organization needs to assess and inspect cadres or select advanced cadres, carry out excellent activities, etc., it can be useful, which is actually equivalent to an official who has entered the examiner pool. These alternate officials do not have a fixed salary, and when they participate in an event, the government gives them a certain amount of travel allowance. Sometimes, in order to find something to do and reflect their social value, the alternate official has to sponsor an event first, and then serve as a judge for the event, and only when he writes a debriefing report at the end of the year can he write his work results. Because Hu Jiuye is rich and powerful, Jiupin Sesame Official is doing well, and he can talk about local affairs, and he has done a lot of errands for the yamen and a lot of good things for the people. So, after Hu Jiuye died, in order to commemorate him, people changed the name of Hujiachang to Jiupinchang. ”
Haitang asked: "The castle built by your Hu family should be called Hujia Fort, how can it be called Sihe Fort?"
Hu Lihua said: "It's very simple, although our ancestor Hu Xiaoyang was born in the rivers and lakes and didn't read much, he was humble and studious, and he also had a lot of cultural accumulation. He also hired a master as a master. The master said that if it is called Hujiabao, it will be everywhere in the country, and it will not be interesting. The name Sihebao is mainly to show that we have culture, not recklessness. The so-called quadrangle is the combination of heaven and earth, earth and man, man and himself, self and heaven, and the cycle is endless. It can protect the blessings of children and grandchildren, and the family fortune will be long. ”
Ah Le said: "Teacher Hu, is your family really more prosperous as predicted by that master?"
Hu Lihua said: "Not bad. Since then, our family has indeed produced many talents. Our family is already rich, but it is even more difficult after we have talents. Rich is called powerful, some people are powerful, and rich and talented people are called powerful. ”
Ah Le said: "What are the outstanding talents in your family?"
Hu Lihua said: "I won't talk about it from afar, let's just talk about the four more representative figures in our family history in modern times." The first, Hu Yiyuan, the pioneer of Baolu, the second, Hu Sumin, a professor at Sichuan University, the third, Hu Jiwei, editor-in-chief of the People's Daily, and the fourth, Hu Binfu, deputy commander of the Guizhou Military Region. Legend has it that Mr. Yin and Yang recited words in his mouth when he completed the tailoring ceremony of Sihe Fort - Humen Four Masters, Two Civilians and Two Martial Arts; Now it seems that it has all been fulfilled. ”
Banzhilian said: "It turns out that the martyr Hu Yiyuan is the ancestor of your Hu family." It seems that the location of his righteousness is next to the district party committee and district government of Dongcheng District, our Pocheng City, right?"
Hu Lihua said: "According to the word generation, my original name is Hu Suhua, and Hu Yilun and Hu Yiyuan are of the same generation. He is not only a hero of our family, but also a famous martyr in Pocheng. Every year around the Qingming Festival, our family will worry about too many people sweeping the tomb. ”
On the topic of Hu Yiyuan, the pioneer of Baolu, Chairman Ma, who has been studying the history of Pocheng for a long time, has a very right to speak: "Right. On September 30, 1911, Hu Yiyuan of Jiupinchang Sihebao led the army of Comrade Baolu to capture Pocheng City, established a military government, and declared the independence of Pocheng on November 1. The next day, the new governor of Sichuan, Duan Fang, transferred the Ziliujing patrol army stationed in Zigong City to attack Pocheng City. Hu Yiyuan and Yang Shaonan, the leader of the robe, led the army to Jiupinchang and other places to block the Qing patrol army. This was one of the three major battles between the Sichuan Baolu Comrade Army and the Qing Army - the Battle of Jiujing. Later, because of the traitor's betrayal, Hu Yiyuan was killed in Dongcheng District, Pocheng City. The place of his martyrdom still has a monument erected by the people's government for him. ”
Hu Lihua said: "According to the genealogical records, Hu Sumin (1867-1943), known as Ji, was raised in 1903, was good at poetry, and wrote "Zidetang Anthology" and "Zidetang Chronicle Poems". In 1904, he served as the first principal of the Pocheng Higher Primary School. He often exhorted students with the phrase 'the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible'. In 1910, he served as the Yin of the Tianjin Changhu Salt Tea Ceremony. Later, he participated in the League and resigned from the position of Daoyin, served as the editor of Tianjin's "Republic of China Daily", and wrote the "Theory of the Nation" that was "not afraid of the emperor's hatred" and "strange". He was also in charge of the shares of the Sichuan-Han Railway, and never embezzled a penny, and taught his son that he would rather wait for a poor place to stand than for your conscience to suffer. In 1916, he opposed Yuan Shikai's proclamation as emperor. In 1924, he went to Guangzhou to serve as secretary of the Generalissimo's Office and professor of economics and history at Sun Yat-sen University. During the Northern Expedition, he served as an adviser to the General Political Department of the National Revolutionary Army and a special commissioner of the Northern Expedition Headquarters. In 1927, he supported Soong Ching-ling and others in forming a coalition government between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. In 1929, he said that the mayor of Pocheng eliminated the difficulty of being destroyed by the Communist Party's peripheral organization 'Youth Yimin Society' and rescued Zhang Di, secretary of the Pocheng City Committee of the Communist Party of China. He used to be the principal of Chengdu Datong Public School and a professor at Sichuan University, and often interacted with Luo Shiwen, Che Yaoxian and others. After the September 18 Incident, he tried his best to call on all parties to join the Japanese Resistance, supported his nephews Hu Jiwei, Hu Yizai, and Hu Deru to join the Communist Party, and founded progressive publications such as "Shu Dialect", "Xingyi", and "Loud Weekly" with Hu Jiwei as the main body. In 1940, he returned to his hometown, 'the garden of no one to keep'. In 1942, he was elected president of the Provisional Senate of Pocheng City. He died in February 1943. ”
