Chapter 59: The mountain high road is far into Xiongguan

Shanxi has many mountains, can be said to be the province with the most famous mountains in China, there are five mountains, five towns, four famous Buddhist mountains, etc., the most famous ones are one of the five mountains of Beiyue Heng Mountain, the first of the four famous Buddhist mountains Wutai Mountain, the famous Taoist mountain Beiwudang Mountain, Mianshan, Wulao Peak, Luya Mountain, Lishan, Lingkong Mountain, Gypsum Mountain, Xiantang Mountain, etc., the mountain color is different, the demeanor is different, respectively with the steep, elegant, beautiful, and surprisingly winning.

Some can be visited and watched, some can avoid the heat, some can visit the ancient to find seclusion, some can be admired, but Chen Longting they are just passing through Shanxi, but there is no time to visit or pay respects, since crossing the Yellow River, they are in a hurry, at this moment the four people drove the carriage out of the temporary rest of the county seat of Mengxian County, continue to go north.

When they come to the north of the county five kilometers, they see a big mountain on the pine and cypress, strange flowers and plants, delicate and elegant, an ancestral temple is built according to the mountain, from low to high, forming a group of buildings that intersect along the central axis, are scattered, and are symmetrical on the left and right.

Chen Longting, who got out of the carriage, saw this, and couldn't help nodding, according to legend, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied, and replaced Hou Zhou. Princess Chaihua, the daughter of Zhou Shizong, was fierce by nature, unwilling to parasitize on Zhao Song, fled to this mountain, and then committed suicide on a jujube tree on the side of Baoquan Building in Shuishen Mountain.

Later generations felt its chastity and martyrdom, and set up a temple to worship, commonly known as 'Holy Maiden Temple' or 'Grandma Temple'.

Grandma's temple is the ancestral temple in front of you, and this mountain is the water god mountain! Now it is summer, the whole mountain peak, the pine and cypress, the peach and plum compete for beauty, colorful, fragrant and rich, the mountains and rivers reflect each other. It's extraordinarily enchanting. It can be described as an excellent place to travel in spring and summer.

"What a wonderful place!"

Chen Longting couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the scenery, and Liu Congyun, who was beside him, couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his recently grown beard when he saw the young master say this. Opening:

"Wonderful place in Shanxi. But it's not just this place, young master, listen to me carefully, the North Tianchi Mountain is strong and clear, the North Wudang Mountain has a legend, the clouds and mist are set aside to see Huo Mountain, the moon is the Jue Mountain, the Guanshan is endlessly fragrant, the autumn wind says Mianshan, Jingwei reclamation of the Dove Mountain, "

Listening to Liu Banxian say fifty rivers in one breath, Chen Longting couldn't help but be very surprised, first, he sighed that there were so many famous mountains in Shanxi, and second, this Liu Banxian was like a tour guide. The characteristics of each famous mountain are narrated, which is really amazing!

Just as the four of them looked at the water god mountain with strange flowers blooming all over the mountain. When he sighed, he saw the gate of Grandma's Temple being opened, and then two handsome little nuns walked out. Each holds a hoe in his hand. Walk towards the farmland not far away.

When they passed by the four of them, they lowered their heads and glanced at Chen Longting, which only made Chen Longting want to laugh. But Du Wenhui whispered:

"Young master, aren't those two little nuns moved by their hearts?"

Chen Longting kicked over. Then he shook his head with a smile and sighed that this guy was talking nonsense! Then, he couldn't help but think of those celebrities and talented women in the Republic of China era, most of whom are still two or three-year-old female dolls. For example, Li Xianglan, Zhang Ailing, and all of them have just been able to speak, and the rest have not yet been born, and when they become adults, I will already be an uncle.

It's too early, it's only 1922. Even the recognized talented woman of the Republic of China 'Southern Tang and Northern Continent' is only Lu Xiaoman, and Tang Ying is still a twelve-year-old girl. In addition, there are several celebrities in Shanghai.

Of course, Lin Huiyin is now eighteen years old, and it is estimated that he and Xu Zhimo are in love, although in the end the two did not achieve a positive result. But Chen Longting didn't think he had a chance, after all, there were too many suitors for these historical women, and besides, he didn't have so much time to fall in love.

However, who can say clearly what will happen in the future? Just as the so-called authorities are confused, and bystanders are clear, once they enter the situation, they are afraid that they will not be able to help themselves.

You don't love everyone, but everyone loves you!

When the four of them returned to the carriage and continued to go north, Chen Longting suddenly remembered that Liu Banxian said that he had committed peach blossoms, if this is true, then after I arrived in Beijing, I was afraid that if I didn't take the initiative, I would also attract bees and butterflies.

Alas, the traverser is like this, even if you want to keep a low profile, it's really nerve-wracking, and for a while, Chen Longting, who was sitting in the carriage, actually became narcissistic, and it was speechless.

That's fine, don't attract bees and butterflies, how to solve the problem of offspring? Eight sons and four daughters, don't put too much pressure!

Chen Longting didn't dare to imagine that since Chen Jiachong was robbed, two people passed away one after another, causing Chen Wanzhuo's expression to be indifferent, like a dead fish face, but in the end, he could have eight sons and four daughters, this is simply a fantasy!

I really don't know how he did it, Chen Longting can't figure it out even if he wants to break his head. And about wives and concubines, it is normal in this era, the stronger a man's ability, the more wives and concubines, and among the top ten marshals in later generations, marrying two or three wives in his life is considered to be less.

But no matter what, Chen Longting will not take the initiative, because he is too lazy to take the initiative, so everything should be natural!

There is only one thing, one thing is certain, because he is a traverser! So there is a problem, that is, you can't see others pretending to be forced! You can pretend to be forced, but don't pretend to be forced in front of him! If you don't listen, you can guarantee that whoever pretends to be forced will be unlucky! No matter who it is! You deserve to be slapped in the face!

Two days later, the carriage went all the way north, during which it passed through many mountains and mountains, and there were several famous mountains, but it was a pity that they could only watch from afar, and they were addicted to it, among which gypsum mountain, North Wudang Mountain, were just a few glances from afar, and the last line of four people came to Taiyuan.

There were no twists and turns in this journey, and it was unexpectedly calm, knowing that after they left the blood village in Shaanxi, they would encounter dry corpses from time to time along the way.

Most of these corpses are some homeless beggars, as well as people fleeing the famine, all of whom froze to death and starved to death on the road, don't look at it as summer now, but at night, under the howling north wind, it is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Therefore, Liu Banxian didn't know how many corpse talismans he used, and he recited the death spell all the way. But in Shanxi, there is no scene of corpses everywhere.

In this regard, Chen Longting is very clear. All of this is Yan Xishan. As early as 1909, after graduating from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, he began to serve in the Shanxi New Army, and then gradually mastered the army. He first supported Sun Yat-sen, and then supported Yuan Shikai as emperor.

After that, he spent several years recuperating in Shanxi, waiting until Yan Xishan felt full-fledged. stood on the lady's close to spy on the form, waiting for the opportunity to move. It was not until two years later, in the Second Zhifeng War, that Yan sent troops to Shijiazhuang to block the direct army from going north. Facilitate Duan Qirui to serve as interim government. And so on, and so on, and so on, and so

Chen Longting knew in his heart that at this time, Yan Xishan was on the surface quiet and obscure, but secretly he was expanding his armaments, and in the past few years, it seemed to be peaceful, but in fact Yan Xishan built a large number of arsenals that could manufacture rifles, machine guns, ammunition, and even artillery, and expanded the army from four brigades in the early years of the Republic of China to 17 divisions.

This secret development effort is indeed powerful, and it is precisely because of this. Yan Xishan supported Lao Jiang. also turned against Lao Chiang, he encircled and suppressed the Red Army, and joined forces with the Eighth Route Army to resist Japan. Although he threw himself into the war of resistance. But he was careful not to offend the Japanese.

Yan Xishan controlled Shanxi for nearly 40 years, during which he had a series of development plans for his hometown Shanxi, and did everything himself, sparing no effort to engage in water conservancy, promote sericulture, develop education, and build a new Taiyuan arsenal and gunpowder factory, so that Shanxi has gradually transformed from a barren rural area into a model province of progress.

The speed of development is so fast that it is catching up with future generations! However, Chen Longting still has to comment a few words, Yan Xishan is a development-type guard, not a strategic handsome talent! He lacks a certain degree of assertiveness about major events, but he has the most secure way to deal with it, and this is not something that ordinary people can do.

At this moment, Chen Longting and others have come to Taiyuan Mansion, also known as Bingzhou, after entering the city, the four people looked at the pedestrians on the road with ruddy complexion and relaxed faces, the streets were lined with green bricks, and the cries of all walks of life were endless.

Seeing this, Chen Longting nodded, no matter what, at least he has governed Shanxi well and satisfied the common people, this is a good official! This is particularly important, so Yan Xishan can be active in the political arena for so long, after all, he has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Shanxi, and the entire province is his logistics, if he has the ability to be handsome, it will be too rebellious.

After speaking, the four people found an inn, rested for a night, and continued to set off the next day, all the way to Qizhou City, and then arrived at Dai County non-stop, and walked 20 kilometers to the north the next day, and saw from east to west, the two wings of the mountains are undulating, the ridge of the Great Wall, its momentum is meandering, with east and west two gates, all stacked with huge bricks, through the swallow through the clouds, the magnanimity is high, it is like a male pass!

This is Yanmen Pass!

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'the world is nine stops, and Yanmen is the head'. Although there is no first Xiongguan 'Jiayu Pass', so a husband is a pass, ten thousand people can not be opened, but the importance is in the first place, from ancient times to the present, as long as the Yanmen Pass is taken, not to mention that the upper can attack the Beijing Division, the lower can chase the Central Plains, even the Silk Road will easily change the master.

At this time, Chen Longting was standing in the distance, looking at the majestic Yanmen Pass, and said:

"The black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it, and the armor light opens to the sun. The sound of horns fills the sky with autumn colors, stuffed with swallow fat and night purple. Half a roll of red flags is in the water, and the frost is heavy and the cold is silent. repay the king's will on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king. ”

A song of Yanmen is too guarded, and the road is exhausted more than a thousand years ago, the tense atmosphere and critical form of the Tang Dynasty soldiers facing the enemy soldiers in the city.

Among them, "the frost is heavy and the drum is cold", and it is full of the artistic conception of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return". And the last two sentences of the poem are to repay the monarch's sincerity in recruiting talents, waving a sword in his hand and being willing to stand for the blood of the country to death!

This made Chen Longting's heart very surging, although there was a suspicion of slapping the emperor's ass in the verses, but from ancient times to the present, the scene of the Jinge Iron Horse under the Yanmen Gate, is there still less? Those Hu barbarians, although they were stopped outside by several male passes, still came to the city.

From the reconstruction of Yanmen Pass several times in history, we can see how tragic those wars were! As the poem says, black clouds overwhelm the city and want to destroy it!

Don't dare to imagine what number of troops can be like a black cloud?

Looking at the Yanmen Xiongguan in the distance and the Great Wall on the ridge, Chen Longting's whole body was full of energy, and he appeared around his body and moved around! At this moment, he seemed to feel something, and turned around to the other three and said:

"Let's go!"
