This Huangjue Temple is the temple of Zhu Yuanzhang who became a monk in the early years of the Buddha, and was named Huangjue Temple (later renamed Longxing Temple) in Fengyang, and it has a relationship with the entire Zhu Ming Dynasty and is called the Holy Temple. As the ordination of Emperor Taizu, after he ascended the throne as emperor, he became famous overnight from a small temple with no door to the original dilapidated temple, with a noble status and incomparably prominent. Also because of the experience of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty to become a monk and worship the Buddha, the sixteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty moved from the southwest of Fengyang County to the site of more than ten miles to rebuild, gave the name "Da Longxing Temple", Taizu personally wrote the "Longxing Temple Tablet" text, set up the monk record official abbot, awarded the Longxing Temple seal. According to the record of "Daming Hongwu Record": "(Longxing Temple) Buddha hall, Dharma hall, monk's house belong to 381 people. The main buildings are the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Meditation Hall, the Garan Palace, the Patriarch Hall and the Imperial Tablet Pavilion, etc., and also hundreds of thousands of pines and cypresses and Zhihuai trees are also in the left and right of the Imperial Mausoleum and Longxing Temple. From the Yuan Dynasty to the 12th year began to be destroyed in the fire, now Taizu was a monk in the Huangjue Temple when he was a child, and its temple site is located in the south of Fengyang more than ten miles. After Taizu became the emperor, he wanted to restore the construction of the Huangjue Temple, but the imperial mausoleum has been built near the old temple, it is not suitable to expand, it is convenient for Hongwu 16 years to build Longxing Temple in front of the "first mountain", when the temple was first built, the scale is large, to have "the monk and the boy ride a horse to close the mountain gate", the temple is built by the famous craftsman in the capital, the carving is fine, the regulation is very high, the grade is very high, it is one of the important buildings in the capital. The scale of the temple pavilion is extremely magnificent and magnificent. At that time, some people described this place as "Long Live Mountain in the West of the Brahman" and "The Palace of the Brahmin King". The temple originally possessed the portrait of Taizu, the iron statue and the bronze Buddha, the copper wok, the inscription iron, and there is a royal book pavilion, and there is the stone tablet of Taizu's "first mountain" handwriting in the pavilion. The greatest influence of Huangjue Temple on the world's temples is the sitting posture of the statues of the four kings in the Tianwang Palace. It is rumored that the four heavenly kings of the temple Tianwang Hall in various places were all standing "standing on the top of the sky". And the four heavenly kings of Longxing Temple sat down "first", and since then, the four heavenly kings of new temples in various parts of the world have also sat down. As for why the Four Heavenly Kings adopt a sitting position, there is also a very interesting folk legend in this. It is said that Taizu had a strange illness when he was a child, and he cried day and night. His parents had no money for medical treatment, so they had to seek Buddhism and would like to take refuge in Buddhism. Later, the child's illness was cured. So when Zhu Yuanzhang was ten years old, he entered Huangjue Temple and became a monk. He started from the lowest level of chores, carrying water and firewood every day to clean the Buddhist hall. When sweeping the palace of the heavenly king, because the four heavenly kings stood on the ground, their legs were like pillars, and it was inconvenient to sweep the floor. He swept and shouted: "Feet up!" Sure enough, it was "Junkou Yuyan", and the Four Heavenly Kings actually put their feet up and sat down as he spoke. Then, the new temples in the world followed suit, and the four heavenly kings also sat upright.

Of course, this is just a legend, and everyone takes it as a legend. But this Huangjue Temple is the place of Taizu's Longxing, and there are also imperial tombs and palaces next to it. If you take Fengyang City and don't go to Longxing Temple, it will inevitably cause riots, if you really go to Longxing Temple, there must be a problem involving the imperial tomb and the palace. As the saying goes, if you go to one place, the other two places must also be involved. If that's the case, there's no turning back. Think about it, if the ancestral grave of the current emperor is dug up, will there still be a place for you to survive in this world? This is the ultimate root of Zhang Bingzhong's hesitation.

Listening to Bingzhong's inner confusion, the five commanders immediately knelt down on their knees, clasped their hands into fists, and said: I am willing to follow the young general in this life, and I will have no regrets even if I die! Bingzhong did not rush to help the general, but said lightly: This trip is a road of no return, and those who are willing to follow it, and those who do not want to return to the field will never be investigated. How do you know that these five commanders will not move at all: I am willing to be from the young general to death. Bingzhong saw that there was really no way, so he helped all the old brothers up one by one. "In that case, without further ado, enter the city tomorrow. Zhang Bingzhong solemnly cupped his fists and said in return.

The next day is also the season of early winter, the foggy morning, like a big cotton jacket surrounded Fengyang City, the time, the place, the people and the three talents are exhausted. In less than half a day, the four battalions came out with lightning speed, and soon annihilated nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers guarding Fengyang City, killed Zhu Guozheng, the garrison general at that time, and others, and captured Yan Rongxuan, the prefect of Fengyang, and sentenced him to death after counting his crimes in front of the people. In order to expand the momentum, Zhang Bingzhong distributed all the victories and the grain in the treasury to the local poor people, so as to truly benefit the people. Ordered the soldiers of each battalion to call the peasants and the people of Sixiang to cut down nearly a million pines and cypresses and acacia trees in the imperial tomb, and then in one go, they also demolished the surrounding royal buildings and Longxing Temple, and when everyone was in high spirits, they finally dug the ancestral tomb of Taizu and killed the rich families of Fengyang at the same time.

In Kyoto at this time, Emperor Chongzhen fainted to the ground after getting the exact news from Jinyiwei. As soon as he woke up, he immediately put on mourning clothes, ran to the temple and cried loudly, and ordered the court officials to handle official business in vegetarian clothes and vegetarians to express condolences. Emperor Chongzhen immediately removed the post of the secretary of the military department, cut off the heads of the governor of Fengyang and the governor of the imperial history, and pulled out the governors of the five provinces who had already been dismissed and idle, and condemned them to death. At the same time, the name of Zhang Bingzhong's eight kings also resounded all over the earth.

Zhang Bingzhong, who was sitting in the Fengyang Governor's Mansion, pushed the cups and changed the lamps with the commanders, and listened carefully to their praise and narration. When he was in the middle of his life, Xi Fengchi strode down the hall and reported to Bingzhong: After entering the city this time, at the order of the major general, the spoils of war and the food in the house were distributed to the local poor people. At the same time, all the favorable objects for the demolition of the royal buildings were distributed. The cut down pines and cypresses are all made of wood, which can basically make the poor have their houses, and the hungry have their rice and wrap their stomachs. It was just that all the property of the wealthy families in Fengyang who were copied and killed was transported to Taimu Mountain overnight by the baggage camp. Bingzhong nodded and said, "Very good! Very good." "I want to ask the generals, what are your plans for the future?" Bingzhong continued. Because of such a great victory, the commanders of each battalion were excited, some wanted to occupy Fengyang City, some wanted to continue to go north and south, and some were more like dividing their troops to expand the results of the battle, and their views were different.

Bingzhong looked at them when they were exhausted, shook his hand and said: This Fengyang City is the land of Longxing, and it cannot be lived for a long time, nor can it be stayed for a long time. If we cause such a catastrophe, there will be crazy revenge, so we can only save our lives by retreating and fleeing. As soon as Bingzhong's words came out, the generals and monks were puzzled, thinking that it was obviously a big victory, why should it be regarded as a catastrophe? Everyone looked at Bingzhong in puzzlement, and Zhang Bingzhong patiently explained to them through their puzzled eyes: Whose ancestral grave has been dug up, can still sit at home and drink wine and enjoy the blessings? Hearing this sentence, everyone immediately pulled out the cold in their hearts, and then they knew that this victory was not a victory, but a great disaster, and the more they settled the accounts after the autumn, the more difficult it was to calculate. Bingzhong laughed and said when he saw the abrupt appearance of the big work, and said: Why did I order the battalions to go out in all directions? Gather the people to cut down trees, dig temples, and dig graves, just so that he will not be punished when he settles accounts after the autumn. Oh, I see, that's right. Only then did everyone understand the true meaning of Bingzhong's orders when entering the city.

Since Fengyang City can't hold it, there is always a direction whether it is retreating or escaping, and how to escape the pursuit of the government is also a university question. Zhang Bingzhong ordered everyone to rest in Fengyang City for three days, and not to disturb the people for three days. Taking advantage of the rest of the past few days, the commander of the fifth battalion was invited to the tent to discuss countermeasures. The big guys got together to look at the map and chat, each with their own words. At this meeting, Bingzhong specially asked them to bring their own deacon and steward, the deep meaning of which is only known to him, which is nothing more than to be able to expand the team faster in the future and prepare for the formation of battalions and brigades.

This Fengyang City will definitely not be able to hold it, whether we continue to go south or retreat, everyone must have a specific idea and direction. At the same time, in the process of fighting and retreating, you must expand your team at any time. That's why deacons and stewards were brought to this meeting. As far as the current number of casualties is concerned, it is very small, but in the future, if we encounter a strong enemy such as Qin Liangyu, the general soldier of Chongqing, then we must be fully psychologically prepared and prepared to replenish the team. When everyone heard Bingzhong say the reason, they all fell silent and began to seriously plan the development of the team in their minds.

In the end, after a day and a night of arguing with more than a dozen people, Zhang Chongzhong decided: As a strategy to lead the enemy, first, it must be a mobile march, and it must not be garrisoned. Second, the tactical strategy is to first go south and make a breakthrough, and then turn back to attack Tongcheng, and attack it unprepared. Thirdly, from now on, soldiers must be recruited along the way. Because the fighting will not stop, and now we are not short of money, and only enough troops will allow us to survive. Therefore, the deacons and stewards of all battalions should strengthen the training and integration of new recruits. Each batch of recruits must be old with the new, remember not a whole team and a whole flag are recruits, that the consumption of the source of soldiers is very large, and the gains outweigh the losses, of which the largest fusion amount is five or five open. In view of the movement in Fengyang City, it was impossible for many peasant households and displaced people to settle here, so the battalions were mobilized to quickly recruit new people and train new soldiers. In the near future, he will go south in order to run in.

When everyone heard Zhang Bingzhong's strategy, they all nodded and praised. Then they took their leave, and they were busy with their own work. At night, Feng Chi came to Zhang Bingzhong and said, "Young General, by recruiting a team of tens of thousands of new people to set off together this time, what do you think?" Bingzhong smiled slightly and said: Then it is not enough to double the size of the four attack battalions with less?

However, in the second or third day, Zhang Shuzhong calculated that the troops of the government were about to assemble and take shape, and the news he got from the raid on Fengchi that his own team must be drawn tomorrow. First of all, they first harassed Xiquan Town and adopted the mode of feint attack, mainly to train new soldiers; then quickly retreated to Zongpu Town to recuperate for a few days and straighten out military affairs; then turned back to Banqiao Town, passing through three towns and four townships. Don't make too much noise about all the movements, just help the rich and not the poor, and if there is good grain, grass and horses, you can replace it. Bingzhong told Xi Fengchi about the things he had thought about in the past few days, and asked him to arrange them one by one.

When the main shop was resting, Bingzhong asked Xi Fengchi to pick out 3,000 Jianyong from the nearly 20,000 people in the four major battalions to supplement the big bird camp, so that the news that Bingzhong relied on more than doubled; at the same time, Bingzhong also told Xi Fengchi that a women's battalion could be formed at the right time, so that the news would be more accurate and easier.
