Between the Jianghuai River, Chaohu Lake. It is one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China. In Chinese history, whenever there was a confrontation between the north and the south, Jianghuai was a battleground for soldiers.

Historically, it was also a natural barrier for the southern regime against powerful enemies in the north. Most of the refugees who fled from the north were able to flee to Jianghuai. Therefore, Jianghuai is also a famous place rich in arrogant soldiers in ancient times.

In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, Du Fuwei's "Jianghuai Army" had great achievements and became famous all over the world. In addition to those gate lord forces at the end of the Sui Dynasty, only among the peasant rebel armies of all walks of life, the Jianghuai Army can rank third in terms of momentum!

In "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Du Fuwei was written as a hero in his fifties, but Du Fuwei in history was a young hero, who led the righteous army across the Jianghuai River in his teens, and had the heroism of the overlord of Chu. Later, Du Fuwei took refuge in Li Tang, and the Jianghuai army attacked Liu Heimin and Xu Yuanlang in Hebei, winning every battle and capturing more than ten cities, which shocked the world. Later, in order to win the trust of the imperial court, Du Fuwei even invited himself to the court to avoid being suspicious of the imperial court. However, the subordinate general Fu Gongqi had the heart to stand on his own feet and raised troops against the Tang Dynasty. Even Du Fuwei was given wine and poisoned in Chang'an!

Since ancient times, Jianghuai has not only produced strong soldiers, but also Hui merchants who have been doing business with the Analects in their hands are also famous throughout the country for their unique style. In the Taiping War in modern times, the most brutal tug-of-war took place in Jianghuai. When the Qing soldiers come, they will slaughter the soldiers and civilians who want to go to heaven, and when the Taiping army comes, they will slaughter the people who support the Qing court. Killing and killing, and when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was suppressed, it was almost empty.

During the Republic of China and since the founding of the People's Republic of China, many people from other places have added in, which has slightly restored its popularity. Because of the Taiping War and the subsequent hundred years of turmoil, the economic and cultural heritage of the Jianghuai land was consumed, and it quickly changed from a famous land of fish and rice in ancient times, a rich land, to an extremely poor economic area.

Zhang Shaohuai's grandfather once served as a Beiyang soldier, a warlord's army, and a country. People. Party soldiers, and later finally made war exploits during the Anti-Japanese War and was promoted to colonel and regiment commander.

Unexpectedly, during the War of Liberation, the general trend of the world changed rapidly, and a few years ago it was still the party. The country's million-strong army is on the offensive. In the liberated areas of the Communist Party, in an instant, the People's Liberation Army swept across the north and south of the river.

The speed of that war from beginning to end was unimaginable. China, which has been divided by warlords and turbulent for a hundred years, has actually achieved true reunification in just a few years.

This point, the Beiyang political axe did not do, the country. People. Party. The political axe did not do it, and only the Communist Party of China. Give birth. The party's army did it. It has to be said that this is due to the general trend that the world will be united after a long time and that the people's aspirations for reunification are dictated.

In the past, the name of the hometown left by the grandfather was a little vague, only the words Xiaotun Village, Qinglong Mountain, Lujiang County.

Qinglong Mountain, this place name is innumerable all over the country. Similarly, Xiaotun is a common village name in China, and it is difficult to find the head of a place based on such a place name if you are not very familiar with a region.

Comrade Xiaofang contacted the transportation company in the county and chartered a van. The transport companies in the central cities are very sluggish, except for some drivers who can run long distances. Road transportation in the county seems lazy and lazy, and sometimes, drivers can skip work for several days.

Because Comrade Xiao Fang emphasized that it was Hong Kong compatriots who returned to their hometowns to visit relatives and friends, and Zhang Shaowei paid 20 yuan a day for chartering a bus, the county transportation company attached great importance to it.

It seems that he wants to make a good impression on his compatriots in Hong Kong, so the transportation company in the county sent a middle-aged driver with a 20-year safe driving record to be responsible for Zhang Shaojie's transportation to the countryside.

"The area around Qinglong Mountain now is already the Ketan People's Commune, and the village chief in Xiaotun Village is surnamed He, an old party member and cadre, and I have been to that village for a few days before." Comrade Xiao Fang introduced with a smile.

"The Kotan People's Commune?" Zhang Shaojie was puzzled.

"It's Ketan Township, in the Republic of China, it was a township, but now it's just a different system and name. The geographical scope is still the same as before! Comrade Xiaofang explained.

After the liberation, China's countryside began to form a system of Chengren and Renmin communes. The Zhang Shaojie brothers did not know much about the "commune", a unique place name that only arose after the liberation of China.

In fact, this people's commune system also began to gradually disintegrate after the reform and opening up. By the 21st century, there were very few places where the people's communes were still organized.

With Comrade Xiaofang, this local expert, the two brothers Zhang Shaojie are very relieved.

Because they no longer have to worry about getting lost in the rolling mountains and countryside after leaving the county.

A van slowly drives down a rugged mountain road.

Although, the mountains here, with an altitude of only a few hundred meters, are inconspicuous mountains in China. However, for the small island of Hong Kong, this small hillside in the central county is not famous, and it is already a lofty mountain.

The passengers on the bus were only two and a half boys and a young woman. The driver was a middle-aged driver, the car drove very steadily, although the road was very bumpy, but it made people feel very safe.

Comrade Xiaofang is a very lively and talkative girl, and she constantly explained the geography, humanities and history of this place to Zhang Shaojie and his brothers along the way.

Let Zhang Shaojie feel that he almost used unimaginable cheapness to enjoy a fulfilling cultural journey!

In fact, not only Zhang Shaojie was very touched by what he heard. In her tactful narration, even Shaohuai was attracted by the fascinating content.

Hong Kong, where the cultural desert is like the Chinese mainland, can have history and cultural heritage everywhere!

"This is where our father lived when he was a child, where our ancestors have roots. Ou Yezi, who smelted the magic weapon, was the neighbor of our ancestors, Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms was buried in the local area, and many romantic figures in history were born and raised from here! Zhang Shaojie pointed to the green mountains outside the window, looking very happy. These historical and humanistic knowledge were all told to him by Xiao Fang, otherwise, Zhang Shaojie would not know that his hometown still has so much historical heritage.

"Brother, what do you think our hometown will look like, and what will it be like after meeting with my uncle and sister-in-law?" Shaohuai also seemed a little homesick, of course, such bumpy road conditions were much worse than those in Hong Kong, which made him pale and a little sicksick.

"I don't know, but I think they'll give us a good welcome." Zhang Shaojie smiled.

Dozens of minutes of mountain road.

Comrade Xiaofang said with a smile: "When we arrive at Qinglong Mountain, the top of the mountain is Xiaotun Village. ”

Following her guidance, Zhang Shaojie and the two brothers saw that some pine trees were planted all over the mountains. Among the pine trees, a dirt road five or six meters wide leads into the distance.

The mountains, lakes, and farmland are very layered, and it is obvious that the farmers here are not lazy and take good care of the fields here.

Although it is said to be the top of the mountain, the road is not rough or sloping, and you can drive straight to the top of the mountain.

The driver nodded and confirmed, "If you drive, you can reach the top of the mountain in a few minutes." ”

"At the top of the mountain, there is the village committee, and there is also the Red Star Primary School. At the top of the mountain, there are many fellows who can ask for directions. ”

"Oooh! This is home? Shaohuai's spirit suddenly rose.

After motion sickness, Shaohuai began to be silent for a long time. Obviously, in addition to being happy that he was almost at his destination, he was even happier that he would soon be able to get out of the car

Zhang Shaojie took a deep breath of cold air, looked at the scenery quietly, and quietly looked at the handsome and beautiful little girl. She is really a beautiful girl, and she has a unique temperament that Hong Kong girls do not have. After just one morning together, he had a good impression of this girl

Comrade Xiao Fang seemed to see the Hong Kong guy staring at him, his face turned red, and he smiled so shyly.
