Chapter Seventy-Six: Dalian
"Uh...... I think...... Otherwise, let's change the subject. Qin Zhen didn't want to start with a cup of tea, and the topic became heavier and heavier.
If the worst is yet to come, then why bother in advance? What's the use of worrying if the worst is destined to come? Sometimes, things just have to be seen that way.
In fact, Qin Zhen feels that sometimes life is like an "old Gu", the more heartless and heartless, the more happy and wanton he can live. Instead of being a wise man with a long sigh and a sad face, it is better to be a fool who has no heart and no lungs and a big leaky heart. In this way, at least in his lifetime, he will still feel happier.
Qin Zhen wanted to tell Yudong about this kind of life insight, so that he could also relax his heart. But then I thought about it, according to Yudong, even if Qin Zhen told the sky, he wouldn't be a heartless fool. There are some truths that he may not really understand, but he just can't do it.
There are many kinds of strange lives in this world, how can you expect others to follow your own path? I only hope that among thousands of lives, he can live the kind he wants the most, which is enough.
Before leaving, say goodbye to the ink clothes. This time, he was able to dig out so many secrets of Qin Shi Huang, and he was able to finally get the exorcism of the mountain, and it must be said that the ink clothes of the people are the heroes. His magical easy divination, celestial deduction, and devil mastery all amazed Qin Zhen. This is suddenly separated, and everyone is really a little reluctant.
Speaking selfishly, after all, there is ink dress, which can relieve Yudong a lot of pressure. But this kind of thing can't force anyone to go with him. Can help so far. It's already considered to be affectionate and righteous. They made an appointment, and when Jiuding's mission was successfully completed, they would take Yebei and Juntian to visit Mosheng together.
Come to think of it, several of them should not forget jì, this "white impermanence" who has a habit of cleanliness but also knows everything.
After separating from Moshang, they all began to go straight to Liaodong. The small city on the coast of the Yellow and Bohai Seas, the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, is their final destination.
This city with countless halos, although it is not big, but it has unparalleled international characteristics. Architecturally alone. The city is full of ancient Romanesque architecture, European domed architecture, ancient Russian architecture, Baroque architecture, Byzantine architecture, Japanese villa architecture, and classical Chinese architecture......
In a city. If you can see so many international iconic types of buildings. It may seem beautiful and cosmopolitan today, but it must also mean that the city was once scarred, with the vicissitudes of war and invasion.
The buildings of those countries are the most beautiful scars on its body.
Every time they set off for a place. Will do a little bit of homework on the local area. From the desert to Tibet. More or less. They all need to know a little bit about that place.
This time, however, it seemed that none of them needed to deliberately ask anything. A city as bright as China is not a vast and sparsely populated periphery. Such a place that no one knows. What is there to learn?
The "Romantic Capital" is located on the east coast of Eurasia, the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula in northeast China, bordering the Bohai Sea in the northwest and the Yellow Sea in the southeast, with more than 260 large and small islands.
In fact, it is said that this city is very much in line with the appetite of Lao Gu, because its most famous is the seafood and beauties in addition to the most beautiful sea views. One to eat, one to color, this is Lao Gu's biggest hobby in his life.
Of course, now that he has Lan Qing, he may be more restrained in terms of beauties. However, in this romantic capital that is "rich" of tall and beautiful women, he can still feast his eyes.
So since he started on the road, Lao Gu has been in a state of excitement. I don't know if he is more yearning for that beautiful coastal city, or more looking forward to his abalone stewed sea cucumber.
"Dong Shao, where are we going first at the first stop? Where did Qin Zhen's beloved meet? Hey, it's not my brother who makes trouble, how do I feel like I'm going to go on a blind date for him? I don't know how he bought Brother Impermanence, this cheap was taken away by him! Lao Gu said, pouting at the imbalance of his stomach.
Yu Dong naturally automatically skipped his useless questions in the second half, and replied directly: "Go to the city first, maybe Shahekou, maybe Ganjingzi, and then we'll see." However, it will be more convenient to go to Lushun or Ganjingzi. ”
Jiang Qi nodded at Yudong with a stern face after hearing this, as if he agreed with his thoughts and plans very much. After all, they don't go to tourists, so they still have to find a more practical route to be real.
However, Lao Gu seemed to be aroused by curiosity at this moment, and immediately asked: "Eh Dongshao, why are the place names of this romantic capital so different?" "Since entering Liaoning Province, Lao Gu can pop out two not very authentic Northeast accents when he speaks three sentences. He's quick to follow the local customs......
Qin Zhen slapped Lao Gu first and replied: "Only with special humanistic history will there be a special name." Look at your ignorance! Let me ask you, do you know how the name Dalian came from? ”
"I don't know. Why, for the sake of your beloved, you also deliberately took a deep dive into the local human history? Lao Gu teased Qin Zhen with bad intentions.
"Fuck off! If you are a person, you have to be better than you, are you Chinese? You have to have a general understanding of the mountains, rivers and cities of your own country! Qin Zhen said disdainfully.
Lao Gu didn't mind, and directly smiled cheekily: "I'm Chinese, but I'm not the county library to write county records." How do I know so many things! So tell me, how did the name come about? I wondered why the name of every place had to have a story. ”
"Nonsense! Behind every place name, there is a history, and even a legend. While looking at the scenery rushing by on the highway, Qin Zhen chatted with everyone about the origin of the name of the city they were about to arrive at and the long history behind it.
Although the time for Dalian to be established is not long, if the history of this place is really said, it is far away.
As early as more than 6,000 years ago, the ancestors had already taken a fancy to this treasure land of feng shui by the mountains and the sea. During the Yin Shang period, Liaodong, including Dalian, belonged to Qingzhou in the Jiuding Kyushu. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was changed to Youzhou. It was not until the end of the Warring States period to the Qin Dynasty that this place was considered the real Liaodong County. Later, in the Han Dynasty, the surrounding area of Dalian was called Qishi County, which was one of the eighteen counties under the jurisdiction of Liaodong County.
The war and suffering that this beautiful city with mountains and sea has endured is unforgettable, just like all its pride and beauty.
Dalian was a Russo-Japanese colony for about half a century, and according to the "History of Dalian City" compiled by the Japanese Asano Torizaburo, the name Dalian Bay was first seen in the literature around 1860.
During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang, the minister of Beiyang, was ordered to establish the Beiyang Naval Division and the military port in the current Lushun area. At that time, Dalian did not have any official name, and it was all casually called out by ordinary people. The name may be more "peculiar" than the place names that Lao Gu found "peculiar" just now. Because Dalian at that time was still called Qingnipu and Qingniwa.
Later, Li Hongzhang looked at the sea in today's Dalian, overlooking the coastline, thousands of sails floating and sinking, blue sea and green mountains, and the scenery was extreme. I can't help but sigh that this is really a big formation, connected to the sea, and then the sky! ’
Later, Li Hongzhang was inspired by this exclamation and decided the name of Dalian. Later, in the recital to the emperor, the name "Dalian Bay" was used for the first time.
However, the official name of the city was in 1905.
Because in 1898, Tsarist Russia forcibly leased Lushun Dalian. In July of the following year, the Tsarist government changed the name of the green mud pool to "Dalny". First, this is a homonym for the name 'Dalian', and secondly, it means 'distant place' in Russian. This ethereal-sounding name bears witness to a period of history when the city became a concession.
Maybe it's because the city is so famous, so everyone talks and chats in twos and threes, and it seems that everyone can tell a little bit of history related to it.
Especially Jiang Qi, this soldier is naturally no stranger to Port Arthur. He is a man of few words on weekdays, but when he mentions Lushunkou, which has been an important military town since the Han Dynasty, he also begins to talk eloquently.
I think that the Qing government set up the Beiyang Naval Division in Lushun, built a military port, repaired forts, built docks, and set up camps, and Lushunkou became an important military fortress in one fell swoop. The First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, the smoke of gunpowder and the chaos of war all recorded a page of vicissitudes in the history of Lushun.
However, the place they are about to go to is this city that has carried war and humiliation, but also carries the reputation and praise it has today. A place always has to have some ancient wind and frost to appear unique.
Maybe none of them have actually been here, but mentioning this kind of slightly familiar city will make people feel a little more at ease than Tibet or the desert that seems to be far away.
When it comes to war or history among men, it seems that there is always an endless topic to talk about. This way seemed to be there, and before they knew it, they had entered Dalian.
Yu Dong asked Qin Zhen to contact Mo Sang, Qin Zhen was very surprised, but when he saw Yu Dong hand over the mobile phone that had already dialed the number, he had to report to Mo Sheng first. By the way, where exactly is that mysterious new teammate "He Xi". This feeling is like an underground party meeting.
Mo Sheng said the name of a hotel and asked them all to settle down there first. Within three days, He Xi would naturally come to the door to find them.
After hanging up Mosheng's phone, Qin Zhen was also nervous for no reason. What kind of beloved person will it be? (To be continued......)
PS: PS: Qin Zhen didn't buy ink clothes, he may have bought the person who voted for the monthly pass......
