"Who can stop the young samurai from dying? They can't hear it! - Miyamoto Musashi

It is still the same Jiangnan town, it is still the afternoon of the past, it seems that when it comes to the rainy season in the Jiangnan town, the breath of people is very heavy, and the groups of vegetable farmers in the alley carrying flat shoulders and groups of villagers wearing hats and braving the light rain to do farm work are a little busy.

This place is called Jingkou, located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, north of the big river, south according to the mountains, the situation is dangerous, for the soldiers. At that time, Jingkou was actually the current Zhenjiang, this place was a fief of Yi in the Western Zhou Dynasty, "Yi" was one of the birthplaces of Wu and Wu culture, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, Jingkou belonged to Zhu Fangyi, and later Zhu Fang changed to Guyang. In the 37th year of Qin Shi Huang (210 BC), Qin Shi Huang toured the east to meet Ji, passed through Jingxian Mountain to see the king's spirit, and ordered 3,000 ochre disciples to chisel the dragon vein, in order to defeat the king's spirit, so it was renamed Dantu County.

However, at this time, most of the people living in Jingkou were a group of people who fled from the north to the southern Central Plains to escape the war.

There is the majestic Beigu Mountain in the northwest of Jingxian Mountain, in that era, it is considered to be very magnificent, its back peak stretches into the river, and the back peak, middle peak, and front peak of Beigu Mountain are undulating and continuous, the front peak surrounds the open high flat plot, the ancients called the front peak area Beijing, this is the origin of the Beijing character of Jingkou, it is according to the "Erya" of "Qiu Jue Gao said Jing", and the mouth refers to the river mouth under Beigu Mountain. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Quan dominated Jiangdong, moved the base of Suzhou to Jingkou in 209 AD, and built an iron urn city in front of Beigu Mountain, known as "Beijing" commonly known as Jingkou, which is the origin of this small city, an ancient city full of history.

But the former scenery has long passed, and now it looks like an ordinary small town, and due to the influx of population, the security and atmosphere in the city have also become very chaotic. But history is so fair, such an ordinary alley in front of us will give birth to two famous heroes in the future, this small city because they will regain its glory, and the difference between the two is that one leaves an immortal hymn, and the other leaves an elegy for the world.

In the afternoon of the rainy season, the children in the city have nothing to do, they are only eight or nine years old, if it does not rain, their parents will urge them to work in the fields, or go to the school to study, but now at this time the war is in chaos, no parents will force their children to study, and almost everyone has five or six children in the family, in the eyes of their parents, the children may become fierce if they do not study, but it may be a good thing that this becomes fierce, in case one day the children go to military service, Fierce children tend to survive the chaos more easily, so parents don't pay much attention to their children.

In that poor era, the children did not have any toys, they just took some branches and wicker as swords, and chased "slashing" in this alley, such "slashing" scenes were not uncommon in troubled times, and the children were not just pure imitation, sometimes passers-by would casually teach them "You should cut down like this, only in this way, will cut the necks of those Hu people." ”

There are many people in this Jingkou who migrated from the north to the south, and most of them are refugees, so they are full of hatred for the Hu people who now occupy the north, and on the other hand, they also have complaints about the imperial court and the society at that time.

But today, these children seem to have some quarrels。。。。。。

"Why do you always want me to play Hu Ren!" As usual, children's games always cause inexplicable disputes, a little little thing can make these children quarrel, children's disputes are like disputes between two countries, the slightest whisper, the sword will be drawn, the difference between the two is that the children draw the wooden sword, and the country pulls out the iron sword in the cold light.

"Because you're the tallest! I've seen those Hu people, those Hu people are riding on horses, and they are a foot tall. "The children always speak very exaggeratedly, one zhang is about three meters three, although the Hu people are tall, but on the horse, it is generally more than two meters and five meters, which is considered very high.

"Yes, and the Hu people's clothes are very torn, they never know how to wash clothes, and they still have a smell of cattle and sheep on their bodies! Just like you! Another child said, pointing to Tan Daoji's clothes.

Tan Daoji's parents died when he was a child, and he only has his sister and two older brothers at home (in order to write better in the future. The clothes he wore were leftover from the two elder brothers, and the clothes of his brothers were also made by his sister, and the handmade clothes of that era were like this, time-consuming and rough, no matter what the craftsmanship was, no matter how simple the life of a man and a woman weaving, everything seemed rough and rough, and the poor could not afford to wear fancy clothes, and only the nobles of the family wore fancy clothes.

"My sister made me this dress! It's not the clothes of the Hu people! Tan Daoji tried to argue with his playmates.

These children insisted that Tan Daoji play the role of the former Qin Hu people, and they were the Beifu soldiers who made great achievements in the Battle of Weishui, and they wanted to re-enact a "Battle of Weishui" belonging to the children in this small alley.

The battle of Weishui, which occurred in 383 A.D., was the decisive battle in a series of battles launched by the former Qin, the unified regime in the north during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, to the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south, and the result was that the former Qin, which had an absolute advantage, was incredibly defeated by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the country also declined and perished, and the northern ethnic groups broke away from the rule of the former Qin and established more than ten small countries successively. The Eastern Jin Dynasty took advantage of this northern expedition and pushed the border line all the way to the Yellow River, and no foreign tribe dared to invade in the following decades.

And at that time, it was the famous general Xie An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who made this victory. Xie Anzi Anshi, Dongshan, Eastern Jin Dynasty politician, military strategist, Zhejiang Shaoxing, ancestors are also northerners, is a native of Yangxia, Chen County. However, at this time Xie An was dead, his nephew Xie Xuan inherited his glory, Xie Xuan was also a powerful character, in the second year of Taiyuan (377) in order to resist the Qin raid, his uncle Xie An recommended Xie Xuan as the general of Jianwu, the assassin of Yanzhou, the leader of Guangling, and the military of Jiangbei. He recruited brave men from the people from the north and formed and trained an elite army, called the "Beifu Soldiers".

In the eighth year of Taiyuan (383), in the battle of Huangshui, Xie An served as the forward governor, and the advance general Liu Jiaozhi led his troops to attack Luojian at night, and won the first battle; Then he seized the opportunity to make the Qin army retreat and cause chaos, take advantage of the momentum to attack, and achieved great results of winning more with less.

The Beifu soldiers in the battle of Weishui performed bravely, and because of this, even though it has been nearly five years since this incident, this matter has been passed by word of mouth, so that the children's daily game is to hold each other's wooden knives and guns, playing the role of the soldiers of the two countries fighting, as a fun, it is an extremely honorable thing to join the Beifu soldiers, if they are in the first and half positions, then they will become household names in this small town!
