Chapter 234: The Old Dragon's Head
The old dragon head is on the shore of the Bohai Sea in the south of Shanhaiguan City, the reason why it is called the old dragon head here is because people compare the Great Wall to a giant dragon, this dragon walks through the desert, climbs Helan, Yue Taihang, goes down from Yan Mountain, gallops to the Bohai Sea, ties a knot in the corridor of western Liaoning, erects the mountain and sea Xiongguan, and then leads the neck into the sea, and the part that enters the sea is the old dragon head.
This is the eastern starting point of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, the terrain is high, like a dragon's head poking into the sea to make waves and waves.
The most famous building of the old dragon head is to have, the Great Wall even the sea water even the sky, people fly on the top of the building 100 feet, the Chenghai Building, go up the building, stand on the top of the building and look down, the old dragon head swallows the waves, stirs up the waves like snow, overlooks the eyes far away, the sea and the sky are the same color, the huge waves are surging, make the heart open, full of pride.
Xie Tianhui brought us here, he opened his shirt and exposed his breasts, leaned on the railing, with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, spit rudely and rudely, and asked: "What about the treasure, the earth is here, you have to find out this treasure for Lao Tzu." ”
"The location shown on the stone plate map is here, it should be eight or nine and ten, but the old dragon's head is not small, if there is really a stone golden palace to hide." The palace lord looked at me and said. "Whether you can find it or not, you have to count on your ability."
"This is Qin Shi Huang's real immortal estuary, Hou Gong also went east from here, this place is of great significance, Qin Shi Huang chose to enter the sea here, it should be related to the Jieshi Golden Palace." I stood on the edge of the building and looked around. "It is recorded in the literature that there are hundreds of large buildings in the Jieshi Golden Palace, which shows that the scale of the Golden Palace is not small, and why there is no rumor about building such a large building."
"Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Jizhen in the Ming Dynasty, once built fortifications here, which is the stone city where we are now, when there was a lot of construction here, if the Jieshi Golden Palace was here, it should have been excavated a long time ago." Behind him came the voice of Yoshitaka Akai.
He really took great pains to explore the treasure, and knew the situation of the coastal generation of Liaodong well, Akai Jialong said, it happened to be the place where I was puzzled, Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty in order to prevent the Mongolian cavalry from sneaking in from the sea during the low tide or the dry season in winter, mobilized the earth soldiers to build this stone city on the sea, it and the Great Wall of Jiaoshan in the north of the city, and the Weiyuan City in the east of the city formed a horn trend, guarding the Shanhaiguan City.
It is said that when it was first built, many iron pots were buckled on the seabed to reduce the impact of the sea on the stone castle, and later it became an important line of defense against the Japanese invaders.
But the problem is that from the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, the old dragon head has been continuously built and gradually improved, but there has never been a record of the excavated ruins.
"Could it be that the name of the old dragon's head is displayed on the stone plate, not as we thought, the Jieshi Golden Palace is not here, but another clue is here." Gong Jue said.
I wanted to hear Ling Zhihan's opinion, but since she went up to Chenghai Tower, she has been holding a compass and looking at something from afar without saying a word.
"Even if the clues are here, Qi Jiguang's construction must have been destroyed long ago." Akai Yoshitaka looked a little bored.
"Don't pretend to understand, who told you that the old dragon head was repaired by Qi Jiguang?" Xie Tianhui said with his hands propped on the railing.
"It's not Qi Jiguang's cultivation?" I was taken aback.
"See those stone walls?" Xie Tianhui pointed to the wall below that separated the sea and land. "Before Qi Jiguang came here, the stone city had already begun to take shape, and he was just connecting the old dragon head with the stone wall."
"Who built the stone city?" Tian Ji asked.
Xie Tianhui's eyes were smoky and narrowed into slits, and he replied lightly.
"Jin Yiwei."
……
We were surprised, this is a frontier in the Ming Dynasty, because it is not far from the Beijing Division, so the strategic location is very important, Jinyi Wei does not have military power, why will the stone city be built here.
"I'm a big boss, I can't say anything about crepe, things are very simple, there have always been wars in this area, and there are a lot of things thrown here by various dynasties and generations, and after a long time, it is a treasure, and I like something about the years when I have nothing to do." Xie Tianhui probably saw that we all looked at him in surprise, and explained absent-mindedly. "A few years ago, I found a Ming Dynasty document, the date is the Jiajing period, it was written by the old dragon head garrison, and I read some meaning in this document."
We didn't interrupt Xie Tianhui, we all listened carefully to what he said, Xie Tianhui told us that the document was a record of the daily affairs of the old dragon head garrison, which was not worth a few dollars, at best it was a little historical value, so he didn't pay much attention to it after he got it, but the content above let him know some things about the old dragon head in the Jiajing period.
Before Qi Jiguang arrived at Laolongtou, this was not an important place for coastal defense, and only a small number of garrison troops were stationed to guard coastal defense.
But in the year of Jiajing, suddenly there was a Jinyi Wei commander to command a large number of Beijing troops stationed here, and at the same time equipped with well-equipped sailors, and even in the Beijing army, there were three major battalions to follow, at that time, it can be said that the old dragon head became a strong military fortress along the southeast of Hou.
"Jinyiwei is stationed with the Beijing army, and he ...... And three battalions were deployed? "I was even more surprised.
"What are the three battalions?" The palace lord asked unbelievingly.
"After Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital, because the Beijing division was close to the front line, a large number of troops were expanded, and three battalions of the Fifth Army, Three Thousand and Shenji were established." I frowned, puzzled, and explained. "In wartime, the five army battalions practiced the camp formation, the three thousand battalion main patrol posts, and the Shenji battalion held firearms, this is the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, and it will only be driven with the army at a critical moment, these three battalions are the same as the Jinyi Guard, all of which are subordinate to the emperor's guards and pro-army, and no one can be mobilized except the emperor."
"You know a lot, do you know what the elite are doing here in such a big battle?" Xie Tianhui nodded, this time he didn't swear, and he didn't wait for me to answer, and pointed to the stone city below. "Running here to repair the house is the prototype of the stone city that enters the sea now, but it is useless to toss and fart, it is not as good as the stone wall built by Qi Jiguang later, and in the end, it depends on this stone wall to resist the Japanese invaders."
"No matter what you're doing here, only the emperor can do it if you can dispatch Jinyiwei and the three major battalions at the same time, and such a large military deployment should be recorded in literature and history." I frowned even more, searched in my mind, and shook my head with certainty. "But in the documents of the Ming Dynasty, there is no record of the three major battalions participating in the construction of coastal defense fortifications."
"Who came here to repair what is my, but in the book I messed up, the most interesting record is here, the commander of the unified army has the right to arbitrary, and it is not the emperor's intention to transfer the three major battalions here at all, even to build a stone city here, the Ming Emperor at that time may not be clear, but it was later after Qi Jiguang built this camp into a coastal defense fortress, because it was connected to the Great Wall, there was the title of the old dragon's head."
"There are so many garrisons, and they have built a lot of construction in this place during the Jiajing period, and no abnormalities have been found, which shows that the Jieshi Golden Palace is not here at all." Tian Ji looked disappointed.
"That's not the point, the most interesting thing isn't here." Xie Tianhui shook his fingers, took a puff of cigarette and said.
"What's that?" Gong Jue asked.
"It's the commander of the three battalions and the Jinyi Guard here." Xie Tianhui threw the cigarette butt downstairs and said in a flowing air. "After the construction of the stone city, this commander led the army to leave, but in the documents, I never saw the name of this commander, but in the 10,000-year calendar, this commander actually returned to the old dragon's head."
"Since there is no name, how does Mr. Xie know that it is the previous commander who returned to the old dragon's head?" Akai Yoshitaka asked suspiciously.
"You don't need to know the name, because it is recorded in the documents that this man has been wearing a gold silk mask."
We were suddenly shocked, the person recorded in the document, should be the man who fought in Jinxi and did not retreat, defeated Akai Shinsei, I hurriedly asked Xie Tianhui, what he learned, Xie Tianhui said, the Wannian calendar is rampant, this commander Jinyi guards guard the old dragon head, because behind the high wall of the city, coupled with the elite of the defenders, the Japanese invaders after a period of time, know that it is difficult to cross this moat, so they give up the attack on the old dragon head and no longer intrude.
Hearing this, I sighed in my heart, turned around and walked to the Chenghai Building, which has a map of the coastal defense territory of the Ming Dynasty, I found the location of the old dragon's head on it, and then the fingers moved, and the distance was less than 100 kilometers Jinxi.
"Akai Nobunari has been attacking Jinxi for three years, but now, the Jieshi Golden Palace is not in Jinxi, but Akai Nobuyari should know very well that what he originally wanted to capture was the old dragon's head, but the city defense was strong and he couldn't break through, and the closest landing place to the old dragon's head on the southeast coast is Jinxi." I pointed to the map and finally understood Akai Nobunari's true intentions. "From the sea, Akai Nobunari knew that he couldn't break the old dragon head, so he gave up the near and far and turned to attack Jinxi, once the city was broken, he could detour from Jinxi back to the old dragon head that was only more than a hundred kilometers away."
"No wonder at the last moment, there will suddenly be a large number of Jinyi guards rushing to help, presumably from the old dragon's head reinforcements, the Jinyi Wei commander should have insight into Akai Nobunari's intentions, so he tried to block it in Jinxi." The palace lord also suddenly realized.
"The last battle of the ancestor was to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the ancestor used a large number of main forces to feint Jinxi, just to delay the commander of the Jinyi guard, and then lead his subordinates to attack the old dragon's head." Akai nodded as he spoke.
"In this way, it proves even more that the Jieshi Golden Palace is in the old dragon's head, but where is it?" Tian Ji was puzzled.
Akai Nobunari knew the location of the Jieshi Golden Palace from the beginning, but ...... "I walked to the guardrail on the side of the building." The commander wearing the golden silk mask also knew that the reason why he insisted on the old dragon head was actually to protect the Jieshi Golden Palace, long before Akai Nobunari attacked the old dragon head, this commander had been here and built a stone castle on a large scale, and the reason for this was ......"
"In order to disguise the existence of the Jieshi Golden Palace!" The palace lord suddenly raised his head and said loudly.
"Yes, it's not about repairing the stone city at all, it's just trying to erase the traces of the Jieshi Golden Palace." I took a deep breath and quickly asked Xie Tianhui. "If only one place is built, it seems that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, so in order to cover the location of the Jieshi Golden Palace, the stone city has to be built, and it can be recorded in the documents that where was the first place to be built?"
Xie Tianhui straightened his hair that was tossed by the sea breeze, and casually raised his hand and pointed to the end of the stone city in the sea.
"The dragon head is the stone castle dragon head that stretches out into the sea."
