After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army invading China advanced to the front line of western Hubei, making Nanyi County suddenly the "front line of national defense" at that time. For a time, the battle between the enemy and us became very fierce, and gradually became a stalemate, and then it evolved into a tug-of-war.

Nong Tianyi witnessed all this with his own eyes. He said anxiously, the mountains and rivers are broken, the people are not happy, and the country has no peace!

At this time, the Republic of China had three divisions stationed in Nanyi County. In the past few years, the officers and soldiers stationed in the garrison and the people of Nanyi County have stood here, and Nong Tianyi and his family have survived the difficult years under artillery fire. During this period, the garrison fought countless desperate battles and bloody battles with the invading Japanese army, successfully defending the rear area, and making it impossible for the enemy to realize its strategic attempt to "enter Sichuan by land."

As soon as the battle was in between, Nong Tianyi went to the position in person and sent condolences to the front line with a few men to reward the officers and soldiers. He risked his life and took matters into his own hands, whether the war was in the east or west, south or north.

The battle with the Japanese devils became more and more fierce, and it was another sleepless night. Seeing Bai Longjie coming back in a hurry from outside, Nong Tianyi frowned tightly and asked anxiously, "Is the battle report coming?" How's it going? ”

Bai Longjie panted and said, "It's here." ”

Nong Tianyi hurriedly took the battle report, and when he looked at it, it was written: The Japanese army launched many tentative attacks on the garrison of Nanyi County, but they were all repulsed. This was due to the clever ambush set up by the garrison and the killing of Major General Takehiko Yokoyama, the deputy commander of the Japanese brigade.

Seeing this, Nong Tianyi said excitedly: "Okay! That's great! This battle was fought beautifully! ”

Nong Tianyi's eyes were on fire, like machine gun fire, and he saw another battle report: In order to avenge Takehiko Yokoyama, more than 4,000 Japanese troops attacked the position of the garrison in three ways, and its vanguard arrived in Nanyi County. The garrison immediately organized two regiments to counterattack, one regiment from the west side of Chengguan and the other regiment from the east and north sides of Chengguan. After a day of fierce fighting, our army regained the county town of Nanyi, and the Japanese army was forced to retreat.

Nong Tianyi sighed: "Our peaceful days are not easy to come by! Thanks to these soldiers at the front, they bravely killed the enemy and fought bloodily......"

Bai Longjie said angrily: "These Japanese devils are invaders, and they must be beaten hard so that they have no return." ”

The battle is at a fever pitch. In the summer, Nong Tianyi was in a state of torment, and at this time he was concerned about the battle situation ahead: in May 1941, the Japanese army launched a general attack on the west bank of the Xianghe River. A group of Japanese troops captured Papayapu along the Nandang Highway, but was repulsed by the garrison in the area south of Nanyi County; After another group of Japanese troops invaded Hengdianzi and Wacang, they were attacked by the garrison troops and fled.

Nong Tianyi's haggard face looked a little heavy, and he said, "This battle was fought very hard, and there were a lot of casualties between the enemy and us, and it was very tragic. ”

Bai Longjie nodded and said, "It's so miserable! ”

In the summer of that year, the Japanese army gathered more than 6,000 elite troops to retaliate and launched a fierce attack on the garrison's defense line in Lixi District, Nanyi County. The garrison adopted the strategy of joint operations, killing and wounding nearly 1,000 Japanese soldiers in one fell swoop, and although they suffered heavy casualties, they never gave up an inch of their position.

Three months later, unwilling to fail, the Japanese army gathered more than 8,000 troops to frantically pounce, and under the cover of aircraft, the troops launched a new round of attacks on the position of the garrison troops in Nanyi County in three directions. When the vanguard of the Japanese army arrived at Pengzhen, a division commander of the garrison unit personally commanded the whole division to counterattack, and after a day and a night of fierce fighting, the arrogant Japanese troops were repelled one by one.

Nong Tianyi was extremely angry: "This Japanese devil is a jackal beast, too rampant, he will be beaten hard, and he will be beaten to the ......ground."

Early in the morning, Nong Tianyi's eyes were bloodshot, and he learned the latest battle situation: after January this year, the Nanyi County garrison began to take the initiative to attack the enemy. One of the battalions attacked the Japanese troops at Jiuligang at night and fought fiercely all night. The battle was extremely fierce, a battalion suffered heavy casualties, more than half of the company platoon commander was killed or wounded, the battalion commander was seriously wounded, the commander of the fourth and fifth companies was wounded at the same time, and the lieutenant and platoon commander of the fifth company were killed on the spot after stabbing several Japanese soldiers, but killed more than 100 enemies.

After dawn, with the assistance of the officers and men of the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army, they immediately commanded this battalion to return to the north, and the Japanese army did not dare to attack rashly, so they had to retreat.

At this time, Nanyi County is already in an emergency! Nong Tianyi said to his wife Wang Ziwei: "It seems that it is a tug-of-war now, and the situation is very critical!" Otherwise, you can take the old and young to the mountains to avoid it first. ”

Wang Ziwei nodded, with a look of anxiety and anxiety. And he said, "After we leave, you must be careful!"

Nong Tianyi said, don't worry, I'm fine.

Sure enough, the Japanese army was not dead, and attacked rampantly, once again gathering heavy troops to attack Nanyi County from the north and south. During the battle, for the first time, the Japanese artillery fired tear gas and asphyxiation grenades at the positions of the garrison troops, and the soldiers of the garrison troops had no anti-poison equipment and were unprepared, and most of the people were poisoned, so the troops had to retreat and move. The situation is horrible.

Seeing this news, Nong Tianyi said indignantly: "This is tantamount to a beast, inhumane!" This is an extremely despicable act, and it is such a vicious act to my soldiers! ”

During the retreat, they were pursued and killed by the Japanese cavalry many times, but they were all repulsed by the rearguard troops and inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese troops. After the failure of the frontal attack, the Japanese attacked from both flanks. After the garrison withdrew to the high mountains around Jinpaiping, they immediately built fortifications to block the enemy's continued attack, which can be described as impregnable. The Japanese attacked for three days in a row, but they were never able to break through the positions of the garrison.

In late October, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on the positions of the garrison troops, and after three or four days of fierce fighting, the garrison troops moved to the mountains northwest of Nanyi County in a planned manner. When the Japanese army attacked the mountain pass, they saw that the mountains on both sides were steep, and they were afraid of being ambushed, so they had to retreat.

In mid-November, the garrison determined a plan to counterattack the enemy and decided to lead its troops to attack the Japanese airfield in Dangyang at night. After receiving the order, a regiment of the Nanyi County garrison immediately set out, and after two consecutive days of rapid marching, it reached the perimeter of the enemy's airfield and launched an attack. In this battle, more than 200 enemy personnel were annihilated, 3 enemy planes were burned, several aircraft were seriously damaged, the enemy's airfield facilities and a large enemy military warehouse were destroyed, and several tons of enemy military supplies were destroyed.

Seeing this emergency war report, Nong Tianyi said happily: "The fight is good, the fight is happy, it is really happy!" He kept going around the house, constantly saying, "Good fight!" Well played! ”

Later, the garrison unit built a "clothing mound" for a battalion commander who died in battle on Yehong Mountain in Qinglian Town, Nanyi County, and built a "Monument to the Anti-Japanese Fallen Soldiers in Nanyi County" for more than 100 officers and men of the garrison who died in battle. After Nong Tianyi learned the news, he generously donated money and contributed money.

Previously, Nong Tianyi took the initiative to provide the peasant compound located in Longyan Village, Qinglian Town, to the garrison troops, so that the peasant compound became the location of the division headquarters and military headquarters of the three divisions.

Nong Tianyi visited the barracks many times, and after returning, he said to Wang Ziwei: "The officers and soldiers stationed in the garrison get along very well with the people. The soldiers of the unit wore straw sandals and cloth shoes, ate two meals a day, mainly steamed buns and noodles, did not open vegetables or add salt, each person was given a few cloves of raw garlic, and the ammunition and grain and grass supplies were all carried by horses, and the conditions were very difficult. ”

Wang Ziwei showed a look of surprise and sighed: "This condition is really difficult! You see, whatever else we have in our family, we will send it to the troops, so that the soldiers will be fed and warmly clothed, so that they can beat away the Japanese devils. ”

Nong Tian said "uh-huh" in a row, and said: "There are often casualties among the soldiers of the army in battle, they are all for the country, for our people, I often see the soldiers of the army shuttling back and forth, the sound of the military horn on the square and the sound of drills by the river one after another, the momentum is like a rainbow!"

Wang Ziwei nodded again and again.

In the past five years, Nong Tianyi has successively provided the garrison troops with military rations, tea, vegetables, soybeans, sesame rape oil, firewood, pigs, sheep, chickens, military shoes and socks, and other necessities, including a part of the funds, to reward or comfort the front-line soldiers.

He said: "Patriotism is for everyone!" Even if you give it all, you will not hesitate to do it. ”

It was a day to remember: on August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender.

On this day, Nanyi County became a sea of joy. Nong Tianyi was as happy as a child: "It's really happy!" There is hope for our country! Our tea is also promising! ”

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to commemorate the fallen anti-Japanese soldiers, Nong Tianyi, as a local patriotic tea merchant, made an astonishing decision:

He personally led the migrant workers to go to the deep mountains of Dahongyan on the road more than ten miles away from Qinglian Town, which lasted three or four months to mine out pieces of bluestone, first carried down the mountain by hand, and then transported by ox carts, and people carried it on their shoulders, sent to the top of Yehong Mountain, day and night, to build a monument tower.

The tower is a seven-storey stele tower of eaves type, 10.08 meters high, composed of three parts: tower base, main tower stele and tower crown. The tower base is divided into two layers, the first layer is built into a circular base by the strip-shaped bluestone, the second layer is assembled into an octagonal tower body by eight pieces of bluestone, one side carves a word, a total of eight characters engraved "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, love, faith, righteousness, bravery, strategy"; Above the second floor is a circular altar.

The front façade of the four-layer tower tablet on the altar is engraved with the big characters of the garrison from top to bottom, and the auspicious cloud frame is engraved all around. The crown of the stele is made of a huge bluestone, the four corners are upturned to form an eaves, and two orbs are high on the top, constituting the complete shape of the tower.

There are convex and concave tenons between each stele, which are firmly glued by glutinous rice pulp, and they are integrated. The theme inscription was inscribed by Nong Tianyi, and the inscription "Dan heart is immortal, mountains and rivers are eternal" eight big characters.

Between the blue sky and white clouds, under the shade of pines and cypresses, on the top of the high mountain, Nong Tianyi looked up at the stele tower and said: "They are heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country!" The wind and bones of this monument and the majestic posture of the tower are their incarnation, and they are the symbol of their heroic killing......"

At this time, the farmer's tea business had gone through a long war, and the situation was getting worse and worse, and it had long since lost its former glory.

At noon today, Nong Tianyi climbed the Tianyi Pavilion alone, looking at the south flow of the Fujiang River, overlooking the mountains and horses galloping, and the ancient county town was full of vitality.

"A cup of tea reflects the sky of my hometown and the sky of history!"

As soon as Nong Tian looked up, a flock of geese were crossing the sky, chirping, and flying into the distance......

End

Jingshan Chushui, Yunwu Mountain, Tianxin Red Rock, Flower Valley Stream, just for the oriental god tree to chant a song of tea rhyme.

This yellow tea is like a chrysanthemum wearing golden armor, the city is full of gold, and the yellow tea is fragrant.

Between the leaves and soups, the sweet taste, the ups and downs of life, are just the Zen realm of quietly sipping a cup of tea: pick it up, or put it down.

Therefore, people call the thousand-year-old tea tree of the farmer the tea ancestor tree, the Tianlu yellow tea as the superb yellow tea, the Wuqing as the tea fairy, and the farmer as the king of tea!

This is, green tea is better than ten thousand taels of gold!

Nonglu and Wuqing, with tea as a "sword", are proud of the rivers and lakes.

Nong Tianyi takes "flowers" as the backbone and opens up a new realm in troubled times.

In the "Sanji Hall" in Nanyi County, in the "Jinhong Teahouse", merchants from all over the world come one after another, or taste tea and talk about Taoism, or buy and sell transactions......

Nonglu and Wu Qing started from scratch, with the determination to inherit the ancestral family business, and gradually revitalized the century-old "Sanjitang" tea shop of the farm.

Nonglu continues to expand the planting area of tea gardens, improve the tea production process, increase the purchase of raw tea, and open up the tea market. Soon, Nong Lu joined forces with Qin Yuhe, plus Qian Shusheng and Han Zhinan joined, and opened a "Sanjitang Tea Shop" in Hankou, a tea distribution center, and became a smash hit tea merchant, known as the "Tea King"!

I have to say that Wu Qing's unique tea-making skills. The tea leaves she made are soaked in the cup, not only has a special fragrance, but also has a wisp of white mist that rises slowly, does not disperse for a long time, the brown is green and transparent, and the full and beautiful tea buds float up and down in the cup, like a group of fairies dancing in the clouds. This spectacle attracted many tea drinkers, who praised and applauded.

Nonglu and Wu Qing passed on the skills of tea making to the nearby villagers, leading them to fight the world together, and the villagers gradually made a good life by planting tea and selling tea, and everyone praised Wu Qing as a fairy-like tea god!

Now, Nong Tianyi has taken over the century-old business of the farmer and is maturing step by step.

In the depths of Jing Mountain, it is like a tea garden heaven, and the fragrance floats in the mountains and wilderness.

Tea houses, tea houses, tea houses, tea rooms, large or small, elegant or simple, like mushrooms after a rain, tea drinking has become a trend for a while. It can really be said that "I would rather drink a cup of tea than give up a meal".

On the Tianxin Rock of Yunwu Mountain, the Tingting Jade Danxia Peak, in the dreamy fairyland, stared at it for a long time and never looked back; The legendary divine tea tree species sprouts green every year, exudes a faint fragrance every year, and indulges in the world......

It can really be said that a leaf of gold is in hand, tea can be used as a sword, tea can rejuvenate the country, tea can enrich the people, and tea can nourish the body!
