Chapter 334 The Martyrs' Cemetery was built

After the nine-tailed turtle Tao Zongwang received Chao Gai's order, he went back and began to prepare for the work of the engineer battalion, Chao Gai also transferred all the masons and carpenters on Liangshan to Tao Zongwang, and Tao Zongwang recruited more than 1,000 people on Liangshan, and the engineer battalion was built.

The martyr's cemetery is easy to build, but how to carve the stele is difficult for Tao Zongwang, he has carved a big stele, but Chao Gai shook his head when he saw it, not very satisfied, but the best stonemason on Liangshan Chao Gai was not satisfied, and it made Tao Zongwang a little difficult for a while.

At this time, it was the military advisor Wu Yong who paid attention, he introduced two people like Chao Gai, both of whom were Wu Yong's friends, one was Jin Dajian, a jade arm craftsman, and the other was Xiao Rang, a holy hand scholar.

After Chao Gai heard about these two people, he suddenly realized, why didn't he remember the two of them.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu, Cai Jing four calligraphy famous all over the world. Chinese calligraphy reached its peak in the Tang and Song dynasties, and later generations could not surpass it, which is the same as the same poem to the Tang Dynasty and the words to the Song Dynasty. Xiao Rang is a native of Jeju, is a talent, knows martial arts, and can write various calligraphy, not to mention the four famous masters of the dynasty, so he is called a holy hand scholar, and it can be said that the calligraphy font of the four famous masters he copied can reach the point of being fake.

In the Water Margin, the heroes of Liangshan were imprisoned in Jiangzhou in order to save Song Jiang, Wu Yong came up with a plan, trying to get Xiao Rang to pretend to be Cai Jing, and repair a letter to Cai Jing's son, Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou, asking him to release Song Jiang to Bianjing, so that the Liangshan soldiers and horses would rescue Song Jiang halfway.

Wu Yong and Xiao Rang knew each other, but they couldn't take it directly. In order to deceive Xiao Rang, Dai Zong went to Jeju according to Wu Yong's instructions, saying that the Yue Temple in Taishan, Shandong Province needed to be rebuilt and an inscription was needed, and Xiao Rang was invited to go at a price of 100 taels of silver. At the same time, those who were deceived into Liangshan also included Jin Dazhu, who was good at carving gold and stones, and his family. When he arrived in Liangshan, Xiao let the pen go, and Jin Dajian engraved the seal, imitating a letter from Cai Jing's family.

If it weren't for the misuse of the "Hanlin Cai Jing" side of the taboo stamp; If it weren't for Jiangzhou General Judge Huang Wenbing who found out that the impolite stamp on this letter would have really deceived Cai Jing's son, Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou. It can be seen that Xiao Rang's name as a holy scribe is worthy of the name.

Compared with the Holy Hand scholar Xiao Rangxiucai's background, the background of the jade arm craftsman Jin Dajian is a bit low, Jin Dajian is also a native of Jeju, and Jeju is in Jining, Shandong today. He is a seal carver, knows martial arts, and relies on his fame in the Central Plains to establish his career, which can be called a unique gold and stone kung fu. In addition to the ancient Chinese characters, he can be born with his hands, and the engraved seal is even more exquisite. This kung fu is extraordinary, and it is also the way of life of the superior people, so they also dance and play with guns and sticks in their spare time. Why do you say that, this has to come from the carved rust seal. The Chinese use gold and stone as the body, and the text and carving as the foundation, record the Chinese civilization and show the uniqueness of Chinese culture. There are traces on bronze vessels, jade, and relics on famous mountains and rivers, and they are all the same in temples and halls, not to mention in books and texts. The upward can be traced back to the era when the text was not formed, such as Langzhu, Hongshan, Qijia, Banpo and so on. In the Song Dynasty, the carving and engraving is deeper into the homes of ordinary people, as long as people with a little financial resources always have their own seals, and they have to set up an inscription when they die, and do not forget their ancestors to set up tablets. From the emperor to the flat-headed white people, people like Jin Dajian are indispensable, but I am afraid that they can't afford to invite famous people like Jin Dajian.

Jin Dajian did not participate in the expedition to Fangla, and after the expedition to Liao, he was used by Song Huizong. Song Huizong is an incompetent emperor and a great artist, this emperor will not treat this famous family of gold and stone badly, but he was plundered to the Jin country, if Jin Dajian also followed, it would be miserable, if there was no entourage, he could escape to Jiangnan, Jin Dajian still has a good Japanese character, because his craftsmanship is good. As the saying goes, "Craftsmen don't die of hunger in a famine." "Although the Southern Song Dynasty was not a military power, it was an economic power in the world at that time.

Hearing Wu Yong talk about these two people, Chao Gai was happy at the moment, so he asked Wu Yong to write a letter to invite these two people over, and he was not at ease, so he ordered the street rat Zhang San and the grass snake Li Si brothers to go down the mountain to Jeju with twenty brothers to pick up the holy hand scholar Xiao Rang and the jade arm craftsman Jin Dajian.

Jeju is not far from Yangsan, one back and forth for two days, sure enough, the holy hand scholar Xiao Rang and the jade arm craftsman Jin Dajian heard that the famous Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai of Liangshanbo invited, and without saying a word, they followed Zhang San and Li Si to Yangsan.

Try to come to the outside of the Juyi Hall to greet in person, see these two people, extraordinary, the one on the left is a blue pigment robe, medium figure, face like jade, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, three short hairs under the chin, black gauze hat, white Luo shirt, polite and polite, a talent. The green shirt and black hat are edged, and the bottom of the dragon and snake pen is born in an instant. Mi Cai Su Huang can seem to be a good book with a reputation. The black gauze Tang hat is through the rhino belt, and the plain white Luo is dry soap boots. Generous chest hides delicate spirit, vertical and horizontal pen walking dragon snake. This person must be the Holy Hand scholar Xiao Rang, there is no doubt about it.

There was also a man next to him, wearing a tight-fitting gown, with a big blue coat on the outside, big ears, a slightly yellowish complexion, and a blanket on his shoulder, which was filled with chisels and hammers. The phoenix seal and dragon chapter are handy, and the carved and engraved letter is more distinct. It is known as the jade arm is not a false reputation, and the art garden is the first place. Chao Gai saw at a glance that this person was Jin Dajian, a jade arm craftsman.

"Hahaha, the two gentlemen can come over, Chao Gai is grateful, grateful." Chao Gai clenched his fists at the two of them and said.

Although these two people are literati, the jade arm craftsman Jin Dajian also needs cultural heritage to carve seals, although both of them are literati but from the green forest, so at the moment the two of them are also clasping their fists and arching their hands, saying: "The name of Chao Tianwang's benevolence and righteousness is known to the world, although my brothers are not righteous and thin clouds like Liangshan heroes, but they also admire all heroes, so Chao Gai's brother invited, and the two of us have to come to the moment if they have a big matter." ”

"Hahaha. How can Chao Gai He De, he can't afford the praise of the two gentlemen, he is ashamed. Chao Gai said modestly.

As soon as Chao Gai's words fell, Xiao Rang said: "Why is Brother Chao Gai so modest, no one knows who knows the Ming River and Lake of Chao Gai, the Heavenly King of Tota, every household around Liangshanbo is enshrined in Brother Chao Gai's immortal ranking, so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Xiaosheng has been familiar with the subset of scriptures and history since he was a child, and he has never seen anyone who can have such an honor." ”

"The two gentlemen are also loyal and righteous people, heroes in the green forest, with unique skills, it is better to join Liangshan, how about we do the way for heaven together?" Chao Gai is also in love, so he invited him immediately.

"I don't dare to ask for ears!" Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian naturally agreed.

Two more heroes joined, Chao Gai was naturally overjoyed, and the construction of the martyr's cemetery was also very fast, the two of them heard about the role of the martyr's cemetery, and they were also moved at the moment, so they promised to take out their own housekeeping skills to build a truly sacred martyr's cemetery.

The time is not long, the construction was completed in just half a month, the martyr's cemetery covers an area of more than 100 acres, the surrounding wall made of bluestone, the middle main gate is a tall arch, there is a pair of couplets on the left and right, it is written by Chao Gai, Xiao let the handwriting, Jin Dajian carved the work, majestic atmosphere, magnificent, the upper link is the British name of the ancient flying general, the lower link is the righteous spirit of the country, the horizontal batch of the dragon flying phoenix dance four big characters are immortal.

Entering the gate, it is the blue brick paving road, the loess paving square on both sides, the two sides of the bluestone road are two rows of straight green pines, the middle of the cemetery is a tall stone tablet, the pen walks the dragon and snake magnificently writes "for the prosperity of Liangshan, the people who sacrificed for the prosperity of the nation are immortal!" A few big words are sonorous and powerful, and they are directly shocking and shocking.

There are two side halls on the left and right, inside are pieces of stone tablets, which are carved with the names of the people who died in every battle of Liangshan, there is a large hall in the middle, which enshrines the statue of Guan Erye, and above the god case below, enshrines the ranking of the leader of Liangshan who died in battle, there is only one at present, that is the ranking of the triumphant king of the hated land.
