The Yellow River, which rolls from west to east, after arriving in Shanxi, cannot collide with the Luliang Mountain, which stands majestically in the north and south, and has no choice but to turn south and continue to run between the canyons at the junction of Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces. When the river water poured down from Hukou Waterfall and came out of Longmen to the first line of Tongguan, the majestic Yellow River was once again blocked by the Huashan Mountains running east-west, and began the long journey of flowing eastward. Fenglingdu is just at the corner of the Yellow River turning eastward, and it is one of the ferries of the three ancient ferries of the Yellow River together with Dayudu and Maojin Ferry downstream.

This ancient ferry port of "rooster crows and listens to the three provinces", as the key point of the Yellow River, has carried many people for thousands of years to pass through guò here, and enter the Qin and Jin dynasties.

It is said that in ancient times, our ancestor Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and the invader Chi You once fought in the field of Zhuolu, and in the fierce battle, Chi You suddenly sacrificed the demon law, and the fog spread all over the sky. Suddenly, the soldiers of the Yellow Emperor tribe were unable to distinguish what was covered by the fog, and they were lost and unable to fight. At this critical moment, the Yellow Emperor's virtuous ministers came in time and presented the Yellow Emperor with his guide car to show the direction of the army, so as to get out of the predicament and finally defeat Chiyou. It is a pity that the clever queen of wind shed his last drop of blood in this war.

After the war, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor buried the Queen of the Wind on the shore. In order to always remember the heroic name of the wind queen, the descendants of the past generations have repaired it, forming a tomb of the wind queen with a height of nearly one zhang and more than ten zhang around, guarding the bank of the Yellow River like a pass. In the period of Wu Zetian, the south side of the Fenghou Mausoleum was officially placed here, and the name of the Fengling Pass was also given. There is also called Fenglingjin, because it is the place where the Yellow River drains south and flows eastward, and Tianjin is the ferry, so the descendants like to call this place Fenglingdu.

There is also no shortage of literati here.

"On the bank of the Changling River in ancient times, the wind and waves rippled. The colorful sails are full of envy in the morning, and the fishing lights shine on the passenger ship in the evening".

"One water is north and south, and the Central Plains is self-contained. The clouds and mountains are connected to the Jin soil, and the smoke trees enter the Qinchuan River. The sunset is yellow and dusty, and the white birds sleep on the clear sand. The night is in a hurry, and the ferry is in a hurry."

Just the above two arias are enough to see the whole picture of the prosperity history of Fenglingdu under the shade of the "Queen of the Wind". For thousands of years, "every sunny day, large and small boats come and go on the river", in which, there are both passenger ships, cargo ships, and fluttering boats, "dotted everywhere, eliminating diseases, fluctuating, uncertain, and prosperous and magnificent".

However, when Daoguang and Xianfeng ascended the throne and sat in the palace, this prosperous scene of peace and prosperity was gone forever. The court naturally nourishes countless officials from top to bottom. Fenglingdu, a feng shui treasure land of "tens of thousands of taels of daily tax and silver", has gradually become a sad place for pedestrians and merchants who come and go to Fenglingdu.

Of course, today's Wang Qingyun and others can straighten their chests and attribute all the sin of this qiē to the Taiping "red bandits". It was they, these mobs who did not go up or down, who disrupted the "good order" of the Qing Dynasty and turned the originally prosperous ferry into a chaotic river beach that is now as silent as death.

In any case, Wang Qingyun's ability to personally sit in Fenglingdu with the title of squire of the military department is enough to show how much importance the Manchu court attaches to this place.

In fact, Wang Qingyun himself knows that the reason why those people in power in the court are doing it now is mainly because he has been in Shanxi for several years, and he has a familiar head in Shanxi. At present, there are many places for the imperial court to use troops, and it is becoming more and more difficult to raise food and salary, and there is always some benefit to having a person like him, otherwise, he would have been arrested in Beijing to investigate the crime by supporting Shaanxi's rebellion.

There is a saying: the hearts of the people are united, and Mount Tai moves. It's a pity that the mess that Wang Qingyun encountered in Fenglingdu was not like this. What's the chaos? It was precisely the problem of rear supply that Wang Qingyun was best at.

At the beginning, in order to prepare for the possible river-crossing operations of the Taiping Red Army, Longmen, Pujin, Fenglingdu, Dayudu and Maojindu in Shanxi were set as key Yellow River defense areas. Fenglingdu is located in the center of Wudu, hanging on a sharp corner in the southwest. In order to facilitate the arrangement of the defense of the entire East and West Yellow River, the military and political affairs of Ruicheng and Pinglu counties have been assigned to Mianxun, who is stationed in Huaiqing Mansion, to be under the overall control. Of course, it is necessary to exclude the loyalty and righteousness of the one stationed in Fenglingdu. So, the trouble came out.

From Ruicheng to Puzhou, there is a Zhongtiao Mountain in between, and the supply of Fenglingdu can only rely on the winding riverside path to transport, not to mention the painstaking twists and turns caused by geography, and **. The newly appointed governor Lin Kui naturally did not get along with him, because everyone was not running on the same road, or the Shanxi governor Kong Guangshun also secretly gave him a stir because he had a lot of dirt with him in the past. Despite the difficulties at this point, I can't give up my past suspicions with him.

The three armies of Fenglingdu belonged to different armies, forming three different treatments.

Back then, he had followed Luo Bingzhang and Zeng Guofan, and together with Liu Yuezhao and others, who were also trained cadres in the Central Hunan Regiment, Huang Chunxi, who escaped from Hunan by luck and devoted himself to the curve to save the country. One depends on the supply, the other can also be robbed, of course, the staple food is guaranteed, and the non-staple food is mainly grabbed, what chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep and the like. Because, although the officers and soldiers who are loyal to the rescue can receive a full amount of money every month, they are all paper money and treasures that the people do not recognize and do not want to collect.

The more than 1,000 green battalion soldiers under the command of the general soldier Fu Xin can still exchange the stick noodles from Puzhou Tao and the millet seeds mixed with I don't know how much sand there is to make their stomachs.

When it's the turn of the local team practice, it will be miserable. According to the usual practice, the imperial court has no control over the food and salary of the group training, and whoever forms the group will get the food and salary. But how many years of good grain have been accumulated in the grain hoards of the big households, and they have long been blackmailed by the green battalion soldiers who are eyeing the government and hungry wolves, where is there any wealth to support them? As a result, they had to rely entirely on going out to grab their food. But don't grab it far, if it's far away, you will meet Lian Yong from other directions, maybe for a pound of miscellaneous grains, you can get up with fire.

Salary is the foundation of raising soldiers, and if there is not enough food, it is strange that the soldiers are not chaotic. The three were originally the same "comrades-in-arms in the trenches", but now they are making trouble like enemies who are not sharing the same sky, just for one mouth.

Wang Qingyun, a big man, was hurt by these soldiers. He was busy inside and out, busy up and down, pressed the gourd scoop and got up again, tired and a thief died, but what he got was a scolding. Huang Chunxi dared to point a gun at his nose in front of him, angrily reprimanded his green battalion soldiers for rubbing their beards on their heads, and dared to grab food from the elites of the Qing Dynasty. Wang Qingyun can't be provoked. Although he is named as the head of the town, he also has a direct boss of other people. Besides, don't look at Huang Chunxi as just a standard, but people enjoy the treatment of the general soldier, and he is also a dignified second-class member. If you really talk about it, it is half a mile higher than the second grade of the former governor.

Although according to the will of the imperial court, Fu Xin's soldiers and horses should be his descendants. Because of the high level of loyalty and righteousness and special treatment, the chief soldier Fu Xin also dared to show Wang Qingyun's face to face, which official didn't want to be good for his soldiers? As for the level of grade, let's not talk about it, after all, people are still full of people. I'm happy to listen to you, I'm not happy, who pees on you? He couldn't be provoked either.

The only thing that didn't dare to scold him openly was the group practice of the gang called Hanako. However, Wang Qingyun still understands the skills of group training very well, he sneezes constantly every day, and it would be strange if no one scolded him behind his back.
