Niangzi Pass, formerly known as Wei Ze Pass, because Tang Pingyang Princess had led troops to garrison here, Pingyang Princess Army, at that time, people called Niangzi Army, so it was named, located in the middle of Taihang Mountain, located in the northeast of Pingding County, 8 miles, is the famous pass on the Great Wall in the Qing Dynasty, there are thousands of miles of Great Wall, the ninth pass is called the place where the soldiers of the past dynasties must fight, the ancient castle is condescending by the mountains and rivers, Niangzi Pass, Hebei, Shanxi Province junction is the throat of Shanxi and Hebei

Niangzi Pass is located in one of the famous Taihang Eight Paths, the west edge of the well trail, known as the mouth of the well in ancient times, Han Dynasty Han Xin's "battle of the back water" is to use the water of the Niangzi Pass to carry the water back to the water array, so that the soldiers are in a desperate situation and desperately seek victory, the result is a big defeat, the Zhao army beheaded Anhou, wrote a glorious page of ancient military history

Li Guolou from the Beijing division to see a real can stick to the pass, there is a man here, the momentum is not open, because the heavy snow closed the road, more than 2,000 people want to spend some time in the pass, but also let the team get rest

Li Guolou was an official and only served as a minister, and he inspected the military camps in the Gyeonggi area, but he was already respected by the soldiers, as can be seen from the local officials who received him

Liu Qiuzheng, the chief soldier of Datong, specially rushed to greet a four-product escort envoy, and also brought his son Liu Guangcai, who was only thirteen years old, to see Li Guolou's wife, and guarded the general Song Qing to accompany him with the friendship of the landlord

Liu Qiuzheng, the general soldier of Datong, doesn't like to talk, the expression on his serious rectangular face will not change, his two big eyes are shining, and the corners of his mouth are always tightly closed, listening to Song Qing's introduction to the history of Niangziguan

In the Tang Dynasty, in the Anshi Rebellion, Shi Siming wanted to merit, Taiyuan and the generals Cai Xide and Gao Xiuyan joined forces with 100,000 troops in Hedong Jiedu, Li Guangbi sent the generals Zhang Fengzhang and Murong Yi to lead the people of Taiyuan to resist stubbornly, and the rest of the month was not less, so Shi Siming sent people back to the east side of Taihang to move the siege equipment, and escorted Zhang Fengzhang and Murong Yi with 3 Hu soldiers, and after hearing the news, he invited the general to attack in Guangyang, and 3 Hu soldiers annihilated the Tang Dynasty in the first year of the Tang Dynasty, in order to consolidate the security of the northeast, the Tang Dynasty was promoted to the Hedong Soldiers and Horses Festival, and Zhang Fengzhang was promoted to the top of the Purple Mountain on the west side of the Guan, and built Chengtian City

In the first year of Tang Changqing, Chengde Jie Du made Wang Ting rebel, Tang Prime Minister Pei Du personally supervised the division out of Niangzi Pass to crusade against Guanghua, in the second year of Zhu Wen's general, Ge Congzhou attacked Hedong from Jingcheng Pass, broke the Chengtian Army, the northern Mongolian cavalry of the Ming Dynasty repeatedly invaded Shanxi, knocked on the gate of Jinggi in the east, and in the 17th year of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng entered Shanxi from Chang'an, and then captured this pass through Taiyuan, and then went out of Jingcheng Pass to meet with the main force······" President Qian, Song Qing, gushed endlessly, and couldn't stop the car with one mouth

Liu Qiuzheng's son Liu Guangcai is not only interested in listening to stories, but also peeps at Li Guolou's appearance, a pair of thief eyes, Li Guolou from beginning to end, if it weren't for Liu Guangcai as a boy, Li Guolou was afraid of another woman who came to the door

Liu Qiu just seemed to see that Li Guolou was unconscious, and his face remained unchanged and said: "Lord Li, my son likes Zhao Zilong, he doesn't look like you like the Changshan Zhao Zilong in Zilong Temple."

"What is the Zilong Temple, Lord Zhentai, what does Zhao Zilong have to do with me," Li Guolou still didn't know about the construction of the Zilong Temple in the Qing Dynasty, and he was the prototype, so he asked

"Oh, Lord Li, our lady Guan is building a Zilong Temple, next to the Guandi Temple, do you want to take a look" Mr. Qian, Song Qing is in his thirties, wearing a military cotton coat, wearing high leather boots on his feet, wearing clothes that are worn out, and there are patches on it, he is tall and square, his face is disposed, he has a beard, he is very burly, there is a black mole on his chin, and his eyes are shining in the dark, which makes people feel rough and shrewd

In a few words, Song Qing, the general manager of Qian, pointed out the reason for the construction of the Zilong Temple, and Liu Qiuzheng, the general soldier of Datong, also added oil and vinegar to the side, telling that Datong Town also built several Zilong Temples, which made Li Guolou cry and laugh and didn't know what to say

Song Qing led the way, accompanied by Liu Qiuzheng and others from Datong Town, to Zilong Temple, Li Guolou just started to build Zilong Temple, he lingered for a long time before he started, he thought a lot, from ancient times to the present to build a living ancestral hall, most of the magnates did not have a good end, the lesson before the car was the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian, fortunately, under the pretense of Changshan Zhao Zilong's name, he could get rid of the relationship with him, and the powerful fart was since ancient times, don't mind, don't make a statement, just leave Zilong Temple, and never enter Zilong Temple for life

Li Guolou said silently: "Let's go and see Niangziguan"

Niangzi Pass has two gates, the east gate is the general brick coupon city gate, there is a platform on the forehead of "Zhili Niangzi Pass", the castle is used to inspect the soldiers and look out at the enemy's situation, the south gate is dangerous, the towering air is high, the city gate is built with thick and solid bluestone, and the "Su Jiang Building" stands majestically, and it is said that it is the place where the princess of Pingyang gathers the generals to resist the enemy, and the four characters on the door hole show the importance of Niangzi Pass

Standing on the head of the city, the snowflakes fell on Li Guolou's head, face, and body, as if he was also frozen in the cold and snow, as if he saw a killing again, and was beaten all over the ground by the Eight-Nation Alliance, looking for teeth, the Qing Emperor fled rampantly westward, here is to guard the gate of the Guanxi Plain, guard Niangzi Pass, Shanxi is worry-free, and the majestic Niangzi Pass is the second line of defense of the Qing Dynasty, and the thoughts are thousands of times, and I can't calm down for a long time, and forget the people around me

"Master Li, the snow is too big, let's go down" Song Qing saw that Li Guolou had been attracted by the majestic and magnificent scenery of Niangziguan, quite proud, the young man was not afraid of the cold, standing at the head of the city to see the snow scene, it was not humane, but it was too inhumane to let them be frozen

Li Guolou came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I thought about the battlefield, Song Qian's wife, Guan Wubei, needs to strengthen the pass, and the pass needs to be rebuilt, I will fight for you to build the top of the Purple Mountain on the west side of the Chengtian City, how much is left, can Song Qian take me to see it tomorrow?"

The accompanying military attache next to him seemed to see a monster going to climb the mountain city in the ice and snow, Song Qingwei was moved, his eyes contained crystal tears, and the queen mother of the two palaces was a person who knew the soldiers, and he could make friends as confidants, and he couldn't help but smile: "Lord Li, Tiancheng has now become a mountain village, there are more than 700 villagers guarding it, there is usually a team of guards stationed in the current year, and there is a team, but the heavy snow is blocking the road, and now climbing the mountain is afraid of danger."

"Oh, forget it, let's take a look when I go back to Beijing," Li Guolou walked down the city, and a group of military attachés behind him were relieved, and had to admire Li Guolou's excellent body, and he followed step by step

How could a group of military attachés be looked down upon by the little white-faced Li Guolou, who didn't hold an umbrella and let the snowflakes fall on his body, and learned Li Guolou's chic brother demeanor, looking at the way people put their clothes and collars up, no wonder the snow was falling, and so many women stopped to see the face of "Zhao Zilong" in the Qing Dynasty

"Lord Li is physically strong, worthy of practicing boxing", a military attache wore a heavy cotton jacket, but saw that Li Guolou was only wearing a leather coat, and he didn't even wear a fur coat

On the southeast side of Guancheng, the Great Wall is winding and majestic by Mianshan, there is the peach river in the west of the city, surrounded by the dangerous mountains all the year round, the river valley, the Great Wall builds a natural barrier between the Jin and Hebei provinces, and there are also Chengtian Village, Laojun Cave, Jealous Female Peak, beacon tower, point general platform, washbasin, summer house

After passing through the hall inside Niangzi Pass, Li Guolou had a general understanding of Niangzi Pass, had some opinions, and nodded without spitting out: "Well, Niangzi Pass is really dangerous, to pass Taihang Shanjing, one of the few passages between Shanxi and Hebei, whether it is to protect Shanxi or to ensure the safety of Hebei, the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty can be seen from Niangzi Pass, Song Qian's total thousand pounds of portals press on your shoulders to redesign the fort, if it is the kind of arc-shaped rail battery, so that the enemy wants to hit the fort, the probability will be less than seventy percent, this time I will leave two 8 mm Krupp cannon shells 4, you first practice mobile cannon practice shells, you report yourself, ask the military department to go to me, I see that you have to consume at least 1 shell a year, standing to train sharpshooters, at least ten teams of gunners, so that there is room for maneuver”

Li Guolou said to himself, take the military supplies and hand them over to the local garrison troops, he doesn't care, anyway, go through a handover procedure and hand it over to any army, Zuo Zongtang has no shortage of military supplies, not a family of people, how can he fatten the Chu army, he wants to jam Zuo Zongtang's throat, this is also Li Hongzhang is willing to see things, otherwise Zuo Zongtang will put him in his eyes, and will not let him have a chance to make meritorious contributions, and the troops stationed in the various defense areas in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions can't share an escort army, "Li Ziying", if you want to grab food, you have to use a trick to make Zuo Zongtang ask for him

Song Qing, the general of the Niangzi Pass, looked at the officers under the group and couldn't believe that there would be such a thing, and asked tentatively: "Lord Li, can the Mauser gun support the Niangzi guard, we haven't changed our outfits here for five years, and they are all old-fashioned flintlock pistols."

Li Guolou did not hesitate to say to Fan Dahui next to him: "Since Song Qian is always in difficulty, the official will definitely help him, and he will give 1 Mauser gun, and the soldiers will guard the city gate in winter, and leave 1 military coat for the soldiers.

"It's a subordinate, let's do it," Fan Dahui took the order and walked vigorously, and his style of action made Niangzi Guan Qian, Song Qing and the three sentinels lead Li Guolou in a word, no wonder Liu Qiuzheng, the general soldier of Datong, would rather deign to come to Niangziguan and make friends with Li Guolou on a snowy day

Mr. Qian, Song Qingle, said that although it was snowing lightly, the weather was cold, but his heart was warm and he said loudly: "Lord Li, there are just four altars here, and there are four altars here, and the daughter Hong was originally going to dig it out when she was going to marry her daughter, and now she is happy to dig out the two altars first, everyone is not drunk and will not return."

Li Guolou thought crookedly, and thought of automatically climbing into his bath bucket, Wanniang and Huang Xiaoman automatically went to bed, and the other grandmothers were no better, where could they let strange women get close to him, and said hurriedly: "Chief Song Qian, when he sees girls, he is afraid that women are not allowed to toast at the banquet······"

Song Qing smiled and said: "Master Li, don't worry, it will take at least five or six years for the official to marry his daughter, and the in-laws have already been decided."

A group of officers all laughed, Li Guolou glanced at the young Liu Guangcai next to him, needless to say, as a result, he knew who Song Qing's relatives were, and the officers were married to the officers, and the Qing Dynasty prevailed, and the personnel relations in the army were intertwined, and the branches were connected, and they shared honor and disgrace

Therefore, Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang had to organize and train the army, reduce some local Eight Banner soldiers, break the shortcomings of the original army, and the old-fashioned Great Qing Dynasty strategy army restructuring was difficult

Expanding the army is the right way, training troops with two systems, the Eight Banners army is unbearable, the fate is irretrievable, the mud can't support the wall, so he won't be a thankless reformer

Niangziguan, the buildings in the city are built along the mountain and live along the water, and the houses are mostly made of stones, and each house has more than 100 years

The water network is like a stream, along the wall base through the house transfer, casually into a household, the world is full of water, the street above the women at the door of their respective doors to smash ice, laundry, washing vegetables, the turbulent mountain wall in the city left 24 giant ancient stone mills, far away can hear the rumbling sound of the big stone mill, the big stone mill is also rotating day and night, the surrounding ten miles and eight towns, people are driving livestock to the village to grind rice and flour, every household in the city has self-made water stone mill processing, grain processing does not need to go out of the house, less a push mill to grind and grind hard

Passing through the city is a rock cliff avenue, Xinglong Street, from the ground still maintains the ancient style, ancient charm of residential buildings and bluestone pavement, potholes

The shrewd Niangziguan people relied on 24 large mills to process grain, opened shops and shops along the way to welcome guests from all directions, although the houses of Niangziguan were all built of stones, but from the width and narrowness, size, height and succession, they were still able to divide the financial resources of each family

Most of the villagers here are merchants, and there are also descendants of the guards after that, so they left a few great characters such as "Hu, Yang, and Ma".

Thousand general hall occupies a lot of area, a pair of stone lions in front of the gate is very magnificent, not far from the gate, there are two oak trees, the ancient oak canggong is high, the branches are luxuriant, vigorous and vigorous, the branches are covered with snow, as if it is two huge Hualuo umbrella cover gatehouse, wide parapet wall, stone carved with various auspicious patterns

Looking at this big mansion, Li Guolou couldn't help but sigh, it was still the emperor of the sky, the building was magnificent, and he lived in Jiadao Street, did not dare to indulge in luxury, and even used a small stone lion at the door of the mansion, like a dog with a tail, low-key life, thinking of the Jingshi faction, it was really breathless, there were two faces, as soon as the Beijing master came out, he knew that he was sought after, Li Guolou became like a god, what is the reason for Zhao Zilong, the scientific detective, Hua Lang, who went out to travel far away, has not suffered, the grade is higher than him, and the magistrates have deigned to come to visit him, he wants to be a low-key person, and others will not let him
