Chapter 631: The Charm of the Spirit
Lu Mahong took the descendants of the Nanyue Army and left Jinan to go to the border area to find Duoduo to take revenge. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info she took people away with her front foot, and on the back foot, Jinan City was like a gourd mountain that had been dug up by a pangolin to the town demon stone.
During the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zeng Gong, the Taishou of Jinan, built a Huibo Bridge on the north bank of Daming Lake to dredge the water in the urban area. In the third year of the Tianhui of Jin Xizong at the turn of the Song and Jin dynasties (1137), Jinan dug the Xiaoqing River again, and introduced the spring water flowing into the lake area in the north of Jinan into the Bohai Sea, and the urban area gradually dried up from south to north. At that time, Baotu Spring and Daming Lake had become famous tourist attractions throughout the country. Li Qingzhao, a generation of lyricists, wrote a lot of graceful words here. Since the Yuan Dynasty, the canal has been prosperous, Jinan has both the canal flowing through, and there are the big and small Qing rivers dominated by salt transportation, in addition to the Luokou wharf, the Xiguan area has also become a salt grain freight wharf.
The Ming Dynasty began to take Jinan as the provincial capital, and large-scale construction of cities and water conservancy projects were carried out simultaneously. Hongwu four years (1371), Jinan rebuilt the city wall, inside and outside the original earthen city wall with bricks and stones to build the brick and stone city wall of "three zhang two feet high, five zhang wide, 12 miles and 48 zhang around", there are city gates in the east and west, north and south, and the moat of "50 zhang wide and 3 zhang deep" was excavated at the same time. At this time, Jinan had developed into the largest commercial city in the province, and the iron industry, salt transportation and silk weaving industry were particularly prosperous. In the seventh year of Chenghua (1471), the dredging Daqing River was connected with the Huitong River (now the Grand Canal), which greatly promoted the urban and economic development of Jinan. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Jinan Xiguan as the most prosperous place outside the city gate, ships and freight to and fro, workshops gathered, shops are lined up, there are also unique commercial streets such as "Scissors Lane", which is famous for making scissors, especially for making scissors, and "Grate Lane" which is famous for making combs.
Scissors Lane is a north-south alley, it is located in the south of Ximenwai Road, starting from Ziyishi Street in the north, ending in Huaqiangzi Street in the south, and the east and west sides of the street are connected with Shengtang Lane, Wulu Shishikou and Da and Xiao Banqiao Street respectively. The street is 214 meters long and about 4-7 meters wide. Because most of the northern section of the alley is an ironware shop dealing in scissors and carriage and horse accessories, especially famous for making scissors, the old Jinan people gave it a name with strong industry characteristicsβββ scissors lane.
Because it is adjacent to Daming Lake, a residential area that is not rich or expensive has also been formed near Scissors Lane, which has a bit of the taste of Chang'an Chengnan, and there is an endless stream of sedan and horse-drawn vehicles when they come out and go in.
At the entrance of Scissors Alley, in front of a house on the west side of the road, on the five steps, more than a dozen pro-soldiers stood at the door with their chests folded. Under the reflection of the lights, it seems that the horizontal flesh on the face is shiny with oil. At the foot of the steps, on the tethered horse pile, more than a dozen war horses full of fat and fat and shiny color were carefully cared for, and the good forage with eggs and fried soybeans was chewed by the horses.
"Alas! In this year, the mothers who give birth to children may not be able to eat eggs, but the horses can. It's really a troubled time, and human life is not worth anything! The groom muttered in his mouth, and from time to time took advantage of the swaying black shadow of the lamplight, and stuffed a handful of fried fragrant soybeans into his pocket, judging from his skillful movements, he had been doing this for a long time.
"Shanzi! What are you rubbing over there? This is Lord Wu's mount, you have to wait for it! If there is any mistake, be careful that Master Zhang cooks the skin for you! β
The captain of the pro-soldier armor yelled at Xiao Shanzi in the door hole of the steps.
The Master Zhang in his mouth is the owner of this mansion, Zhang Linghu, the commander of the Jinan Garrison Brigade. And the owner of these horses is Wu Fengxian, the commander of the Changqing Garrison Brigade.
At this time, this Brigade Commander Wu was chatting happily with Zhang Linghu in the flower hall in the backyard.
"This Jinan Mansion is Jinan Mansion! It's much stronger than my Changqing county! Wu Fengxian praised the beautiful scenery of Quancheng and was also amazed by the mansion of Zhang Linghu.
"Everyone in the world says that there is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Although our Jinan Mansion does not dare to compare with Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is also a place of outstanding people. When it comes to the scenery of this water town, it is no less than the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Zhang Linghu proudly showed off in front of his comrades.
"We don't know about other places, but this Scissors Alley is a treasure of feng shui. In terms of drought and rain, this street is always full of water, and passers-by have to take a detour from both sides of the stairs. When I first moved here, I ordered someone to add a layer of three-inch-thick stone slabs to the scissors alley, but the strange thing is that the three-inch stone slabs were paved, but the water still overflowed more than an inch. The spring water under this stone slab is cool in summer, and it can be iced fruit; In winter, the steam is like a hot spring. Lift the stone slab, the water is densely covered with green moss-like long aquatic grass, a group of green grass carp swim leisurely, its meat is fresh and tender, there is no fishy smell, its appearance is similar to the carp and grass carp outside. β
(This passage is not made up by the author, if you are interested, you can take a look at the article "Spring Water and Fish in Jinan" by the late Mr. Tang Lusun, a famous Taiwanese gourmand and essayist.) The above description is from the article, if you have any opinions, go to Mr. Tang. οΌ
That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Wu Fengxian looked at him, "You can't treat me like this if you treat me like a turtle, right?" β
Zhang Linghu intended to show off further in front of Wu Fengxian, and beckoned two pro-soldiers. "Today, Brigade Commander Wu is a guest at our house, you go get two fish, and cook here."
"Yes!" The two pro-soldiers just lifted two stone slabs in front of Wu Fengxian. In the steaming water, only the sound of the spring water can be heard, and a personal soldier hangs his hands to catch it, and among the nets in his hands are two cyan carp jumping lively. This scene suddenly made Wu Fengxian dumbfounded.
"Humph! You turtle! Zhang Linghu was very proud to appreciate the look on Wu Fengxian's face.
"Go and invite Mr. to come, say that I and Brigade Commander Wu are here, and invite him to come over for a drink." Zhang Linghu gave an order, and the soldiers turned around and left.
Wu Fengxian didn't realize this, and just watched the cook neatly clean up the two fresh fish in the yard.
After a while, footsteps sounded, and two well-dressed scholars appeared in front of Zhang Linghu and Wu Fengxian.
"Two adults, what a Yaxing!"
Wu Fengxian is also a little familiar, and he has seen it a few times when he was entertaining on the scene, one is from the Confucius family in Qufu, and the other is from the Meng family in Zou County. They are all quite active in Jinan City in recent times, and they are very prominent figures in the social field.
"Sir, please be seated."
The extremely hot rice wine, a few side dishes, the four of them sat opposite each other.
"Brother article, this is a herring fish, not a red fish. Please feel free to eat. "The so-called article brother is Zhang Linghu who called the Kong family, and what exactly this person is called, I am afraid that it is a secret between them. His words, in fact, were not in vain, after Zhang Linghu finished speaking, Brother Wen was relieved to boldly put down the chopsticks.
The people of the Kong family do not eat carp, and they can't even call it carp. This is a well-known thing in Shandong, Henan and other places. Because, the eldest son of Confucius is named Kong Li. The son is noble by his father, and Kong Li is respected as the second ancestor after Confucius. In order to avoid his name, the Confucian Mansion never worships carp during the memorial service. Not only is it not enshrined, but the carp is also called a red fish. If you don't believe it, please go to the Huayuankou of Henan, the Yellow River in Zhongmu County, and ask in the market, and ask in the restaurant and vegetable market in Qufu. Not only can it not be called carp, even if Qufu is in the New Year, all the people can use carp, and the unique surname Kong can not be used, the reason is that the ancestral name of Kong II is Kong carp, not only can not use carp to worship ancestors, but even the name of carp has been renamed "red fish" because of avoiding ancestors, and Qufu people have also called carp "red fish".
Speaking of this Kong carp, his qualifications are mediocre. However, through him, we can learn about his father's character from the side.
One of the famous seventy-two sages, Yan Hui passed away at a young age, Confucius was heartbroken, and the Analects said: "Wow! Heaven forbid! Heaven forbid! "What do you mean? Confucius said, God wants me to die! The heartache can be seen in the relationship between the teacher and the disciple, right? Don't worry, it's still recorded in the Analects!
"Yan Yuan died, and Yan Lu asked his son's car to take it as a coffin. Zi said: "If you are not talented, you will also say your son." The carp also died, and there was a coffin but no coffin. I will not do it in vain. After I have been a doctor, I shall not walk in vain. β
What does that mean? Yan Hui, that is, Yan Yuan died, and Yan Hui's father, Yan Lu, who was also a disciple of Confucius, asked Confucius to sell the car (for Yan Yuan) to buy a coffin. Confucius said: "If you have the talent or not, you can also talk about your son, if Kong Carp dies, there is a coffin but there is no coffin, I will not walk to buy a coffin for him." There is another sentence at the end, which is written that Confucius said that according to the etiquette, the doctor has to take a car when he goes out, and he can't let himself have no car for this matter.
Hey! Such a father, such a teacher.
The article brother is quite bold, falling like rain, and the wine is dry. Soon got along with Wu Fengxian very warmly.
"Three, how is this fish?" Zhang Linghu saw that everyone was eating for a while, and as the master, he asked without a smile.
"The taste of this fish is really good. It's a pity that it's just a herring. The time and taste of cultivation are not enough, and if you want to become a carp that can soar into the sky and turn into a dragon, you also have to do some hard work. The people of the Meng family just smiled for a while, drank wine and ate fish, but suddenly released such a few words with deep meaning.
The carp jumped out of the dragon gate, and said "Xin's Three Qin Records": "Hejin is a dragon gate, Yu chisel the mountain to open the door, more than a mile wide, the Yellow River flows down from the middle, and the bank is not open to cars and horses." Every spring, there are yellow carp swimming upstream, and those who pass will turn into dragons. "In "Piya? "Shi Yu" recorded: "As the saying goes, the fish jumps over the dragon gate, and then becomes a dragon, but the carp may be." "The carp jumped over the dragon gate, jumped over, and the carp turned into a dragon. This statement may be a metaphor, and Wu Fengxian naturally understands it. However, Mr. Meng came out with such a sentence out of nowhere, but he had to guard against it. Rao is his heart is bright, and he has to pretend to be a pig's head.
"Okay, Lao Wu, there are no outsiders here! My surname Zhang asks you, are you willing to be a lackey called by people under the door of the Li family for the rest of your life, or are you willing to turn into a dragon because of the situation? β
Before he could show his full acting skills, Zhang Linghu interrupted his performance.
"Exactly! General Wu, this plate is a herring fish, but if you go to the Yellow River, this is a big red fish with golden wings and golden scales. The envoy of the Confucian family, Brother Wen, threw out a sentence suspiciously.
At this point, Wu Fengxian couldn't pretend anymore, so he simply threw that stupid appearance out of the clouds.
"As Mr. Article said, Wu is now a herring on someone else's plate, but a certain family is stupid, how can he be in the Yellow River and become a big carp that can turn into a dragon? Just ask, where is the Yellow River? How can a family be in the middle of it? β
The three of them looked at each other for a moment, exchanged glances, and they all understood what they meant from the eyes of the two opposites. It's time to turn the ninth Dancheng into the moment, and you have to hand over the truth to the guy surnamed Wu in front of you!
His so-called Yellow River and how to be in it is nothing more than to understand the actual background and conditions of Zhang Linghu and Confucius and Mencius. As long as the conditions are right, he will definitely devote himself to it for his fame and wealth.
"Shandong has suffered for Li Thief's father and son for a long time!" Brother Article is a saint Miao descendant, and as soon as he came up, he was given a very good tone and a very high position. suddenly put himself on the moral high ground, and put Li Shouhan, Li Huayu and his son in the defendant's seat.
"Since the father and son of the Li family have relied on their small merits to steal a high position and single-handedly control the land of Qilu, their crimes can be described as unspeakable, and the people on the land of Qilu have become rivers of blood and tears!" Mr. Meng Jia was also filled with righteous indignation. Originally! King De's family was locked into a high wall, and their family's land and grange belonged to the Li family, so it's not that we can't agree, but you are engaged in a new deal? In Shandong and Denglai, the Shenma officials and gentry were implemented to pay grain as an errand and pay for food, and what was consumed by fire was returned to the public, and a new system of money and grain was implemented. How can we go to fish and flesh the people and make a windfall? What's more, you implemented the grange system in Denglai, and what kind of tuntian soldier system was engaged, so that not only the displaced people from all over the country flocked to it, but even the tenant slaves of our Confucius and Mencius families, who had been educated for a long time, also fled one after another. Go to the Denglai area and Dongying and other places to plant those cottons. Although it is said that "no gentleman Mo Zhi savage", these vulgar and unbearable despicable people fled without thinking about the virtue of many years of kindness, but "no wild man does not raise a gentleman", without these ungrateful white-eyed wolves, who will farm the land, collect grain, pay rent, and serve us with all kinds of labor?
"Li thief's father and son hurt Shandong, making people angry. Fortunately, the cycle of heaven and reason, retribution is not happy. Li Thief relied on the strength of the army, ran rampant everywhere, insulted Sven, and insulted the way of the saint. Now, his thieves have also died at the hands of the Qing soldiers. It's a great joy! β
"Now, Li Huayu is dead, and in order to avenge him, his barbarian shrew has gone out of the nest and ordered all the thieves to go out of the province to take revenge. The emptiness in the city of Jinan is a great time for our generation to rise up and defend the way of my saints! β
The article brother of the Confucian family and Mr. Meng Jia's words were like a lotus flower to Li Shouhan and his son, looking for a reason to raise troops to cut off Lu Mahong's back road, but Wu Fengxian had a noncommittal look.
"Now, we have contacted loyal people from all sides, and they have risen up to fight the thieves. Let Li Thief and his son see who is in the world in Fang Jinzhiyu! As long as General Wu and General Zhang are the first to attack in Jinan, the students can guarantee that Qufu, Zou County, Dezhou, Yanzhou, and 100 counties in 10 prefectures and 8 counties in Kyushu, Shandong, will inevitably be loyal and righteous people who will move and rise up to respond! At that time, Lu Mahong, a barbarian mother-in-law, had hundreds of thousands of elite iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty in the north to confront her, and in the south were loyal and righteous soldiers from all over the country. Bound to follow her dead husband! At that time, we will join forces with the Great Qing Righteous Division and go south to fight for thieves! β
Zhang Linghu's words were a bit dry, which made Wu Fengxian listen to it very attentively, and he no longer played with the wine glass in his hand.
"Brother Zhang, our old Wu is a rough man, as you said, there are so many loyal people in Jinan, how many people are there? In what name do these many men act? To whom are the soldiers and horses controlled? Where is the food raised? β
"Humph! Sure enough, it's a vulgar person! Where can I understand the path of the saint of loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness? is full of fame and fortune, promotion and wealth! "Although the article brother is very disdainful of Wu Fengxian's performance, but compared with Fang Cai's no matter how you shake your lips and puff your tongue, Wu Fengxian asked these technical questions at this time, which shows that Wu Fengxian has already been tempted!
Zhang Linghu, Brother Wenwen, and Mr. Meng Jia glanced at each other, and each nodded slowly. One of the article brothers turned away. A moment later, two yellow silk wraps and a prayer box were brought by him.
This is the seal of the chief and deputy marshal of the Shandong thief army formed by the blood of the people of Shandong. The two generals, please, put it away. Among the boxes were 500,000 yuan of military salaries raised by the people of various places. Ask the two generals to reward the soldiers for use. β
The gold forged seal letter of the marshal of the thief army, Zhang Linghu had already played with it for too long, but in order to achieve the expected effect of today's drama, he still made a gesture of asking Wu Fengxian to take on the big responsibility.
Wu Fengxian also refused to refuse, and expressed his willingness to follow the tail of Zhang Linghu and Gong Gong Zhugong, and after some false courtesies between each other, under the clap of the article brother, he decided to order someone to recast the seal letter overnight, called the left marshal and the right marshal. "The two generals stand side by side, give orders, and call for four conveniences!"
In the afternoon of the next day, at sunset, suddenly a cannon rang out inside and outside the city of Jinan, and the Qing garrison brigade of Wu Fengxian, who had already been ambushed outside the west gate of Jinan City, took the lead in attacking and seizing the city gate. And Zhang Linghu sent troops in the city and searched for them. All those who remained behind in the Southern Guangdong Army were to be executed on the spot.
At night, in front of the blood-stained Tiegong Ancestral Hall, officials and gentry from all walks of life in Jinan City gathered together to formally worship Zhang Linghu and Wu Fengxian as the marshals of the Shandong Thief Army. He also issued a clear message, calling on all parties to rise up and crusade against Li Shouhan and his son, in order to defend my Confucianism and the way of our saints.
The first sentence at the beginning of the article is "The world has been suffering for a long time!" β
