Chapter 587: Pony Township
All things are born, but if we say which one is the most miraculous work of the Creator, it is probably women.
I experienced this early on from my mother.
She is a genial woman, gentle, frugal, and housekeeper. She has the same virtues that most women in China have. The old Wei family has a good daughter-in-law. This is a generally recognized thing. However, whenever my father
When she was irritated, the housewife would immediately turn into a fighter and use sharp words that would put Western politicians who are good at street speaking to shame. She would not stop fighting until my father died.
Language is so powerful!
From the inheritance of family traditions to the body, and then to the spirit, all-round and three-dimensional attacks are carried out, and no one is the same. We will not stop until you are completely beaten and you doubt your life.
bad language?
No, in the eyes of women, scolding a man for using dirty words would be too disgraceful, and would make him a shrew, and go against the reputation of being knowledgeable and reasonable.
I always thought that my mother was a special case, but after being criticized by Chang Yao for half an hour, I understood - this is the innate power of female comrades!!
Whether it was thousands of years ago or today, this magical power is innate.
I never thought that Jiang Yao would have such a terrifying side, which was more subversive than her jumping out and beating me up. It wasn’t until I was told that my whole body was so hot that I hid outside the door and finally calmed down.
Once I calmed down, I started thinking about what Zhang Xinya said before.
Xiaomayi made that thing afraid, and a group of archaeologists from the capital once came here to investigate, but then left it alone.
There are some things that herdsmen like Shirane don't understand, but... those archaeologists must have some clues, right?
I thought about it for a long time, finally took out my cell phone and dialed the number of a person I never wanted to contact.
There is no way, this matter involves many archaeologists, and they are a group of archaeologists from thirty years ago. If you find Fu Huicheng, his network may not cover this area. If you say he may have some knowledge about this matter,
The only one who understands it is that person.
Soon, Qian Guangqi answered the phone with a somewhat surprised tone: "Xiao Wei?"
I said "hmm", but I was sighing in my heart. When we met in Beijing last time, the other party said that he would contact us more in the future, but he had an official smell. People in our industry are afraid of being with this person.
I made a relationship with someone else, and I swore to myself at that time that it was best never to contact them. Who would have thought that just so long ago, I would have to take the initiative to find them. After a moment of silence, I said awkwardly: "Professor Qian, yes
Well, I have something to ask you. Thirty years ago, a group of professors from the capital came to Inner Mongolia for inspection and collected many bones and broken armors before leaving. The location was not close to Dalai Lake.
Very far away, the locals call it Wutou Mountain. I suspect that this may be the battlefield where Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, first conquered Benya Shili in the north...
Do you... know which experts came to inspect that time? I would like to know some specific situations at that time..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a moment, Qian Guangqi spoke again, but without the previous surprise, there were only two words: "Is there a tomb?"
I knew what he was worried about, so I said, "Help."
Qian Guangqi said in a deep voice: "Okay, I believe you."
After saying this, he relaxed a little and said: "More than thirty years ago, I was not working at that time. I don't know the specific situation, but I will ask you about it. There should be some information."
Some clues. After all, our country was still very poor in the 1980s, and the archaeological industry was not developed. There were very few well-known experts in the capital, so it was not difficult to find them. So, just wait, I will give you a letter as soon as possible.
Son."
I responded, hung up the phone but smiled helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh: "These are all debts. If someone comes to us for trouble in the future, I'm afraid they will have to go to hell."
After saying that, I went to my master.
Qian Guangqi worked very quickly. Around dinner time in the evening, a text message was sent to my mobile phone. It only had a name and a phone number.
This person's name is Jiang Haichao, and he should be the professor who came here for inspection.
The profession of archeology is similar to studying Chinese medicine. It is a very time-consuming job. Those who can do it probably have a long working experience. Considering their age, this person may have retired long ago.
I glanced at Shigen and his wife, put down the phone, and thought about contacting me after dinner.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the meal, Jiang Haichao took the lead and called.
As soon as I picked up the phone, an old voice asked anxiously on the other end: "What happened on the other side of Wutou Mountain?"
These words were sudden and jarring, as if the old man had already guessed that such a thing would happen. I didn’t know how to respond for a moment. I hesitated and said, "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing, it was just back then..."
Jiang Haichao was hesitant to speak, and finally stopped talking. He changed the subject and said: "Xiao Qian told me about this situation in general. Young man, you guessed it right. It is indeed an ancient battlefield, and it is indeed similar to Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty.
The relationship is not the place where Ming Chengzu and Benya Shili fought, but the place where another general died in the battle."
I knew that some things had to be done step by step, so I didn't ask the old man anything else. I just followed his lead and asked, "Who is this general?"
Jiang Haichao asked: "Do you know Wang Zhong?"
Wang Zhong, a very common name.
However, if there was anything famous, I really didn't think of it.
"It's normal that you don't know."
Jiang Haichao said: "There are too few records about this person in history books, but you should know about Qiu Fu, right?"
Of course I know this. The fierce generals under the command of Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, made particularly great contributions during the Battle of Jingnan. After Zhu Di conquered the country, Mongolia killed the Ming Dynasty envoy Guo Ji and broke off diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di was furious and ordered Qiu Fu to
He led an army of 100,000 people to march north and made some gains near the Luqu River. Qiu Fu believed the prisoners' words and refused to listen to the advice of the surrounding generals. He insisted on advancing rashly and was defeated by Benya. The entire elite army of 100,000 Ming troops was annihilated.
, Qiu Fu died in the battle.
After this battle, the situation in the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia took a turn for the worse. This opened the curtain on Zhu Di's five personal expeditions, which became the most glorious event in the emperor's life. After all, in the five thousand years of history, no one dared to lead an army in person.
This is the only emperor who rushes into battle!!
Li Shimin once made a charge, but after becoming emperor, he never did such a thing again.
Jiang Haichao mentioned this person, and I roughly understood that this place should be the place where Qiu Fu and Benya Shili fought.
The Luqu River is now the Kelunlu River and is also one of the tributaries of Dalai Lake...
The distance between the two wars was not that far apart, so it was normal for me to think differently at first.
"Wang Zhong was the Marquis of Jing'an and was under Qiu Fu's command at that time!!"
Jiang Haichao said: "Wang Zhong, together with Li Yuan, the Duke of Ju, surrendered to Yuzhou. In every battle, the handsome and elite cavalry were extraordinary troops, and they won many victories. He was moved to the governorship of Qianshi, and was granted the title of Marquis of Jing'an, with a salary of thousands of stones. He died in the battle at the age of fifty.
1. Eliminate the title.
This is the record about this man in the history books. It is too simple. There is very little description of that battle.
We found his seal and ribbon there, and then we were able to confirm his identity.
Someone once said that once there are more than 10,000 people, there are no boundaries, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people fighting and fighting. The span of the battlefield must be very large, and Wang Zhong is good at using cavalry. When the battle is unfavorable, there is a chance of breaking out.
It was very big. He must have broken through all the way to here, where he made the final resistance. After being captured, he did not change his integrity and was eventually beheaded on the spot!
In addition to the bones of Ming soldiers who died in battle, we also found some other bones there. Judging from the remaining fragments of broken clothing, they should be those of Mongolian soldiers.
However, the deaths of these soldiers were all concentrated and tied up, so we speculate that Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, killed prisoners here to comfort the souls of the dead after the Northern Expedition.
Do you know Mayi? It is now Shuozhou.
At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up an ambush in Mayi, which was discovered by the military minister Shanyu. All 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry fled. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cited it as a lifelong humiliation. This was the famous Mayi conspiracy in history, but that battle was also
It opened the curtain of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's crazy attack on the Xiongnu, and forcibly broke the backbone of the Han people, and also established the reputation of one Han as the five barbarians.
How similar is this to Qiu Fu's defeat, which prompted Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty to personally conquer Mongolia five times?
Therefore, one of our colleagues at the time lamented that that place was really a small town, and that’s how this small town came to be..."
In fact, these things cannot be divided into right and wrong. At that time, the two sides were sworn enemies, and they were definitely going to kill each other. You hit me, and I hit you. This is how national integration was achieved, and this is how we are now.
The so-called remembering history does not mean reversing history and starting to attack each other again, but understanding how we got here and how difficult it was. Only in this way can we truly embrace each other. This is true integration.
Because my family works in this field, my historical skills are pretty good. Of course, if I were to talk about the Ming Dynasty alone with Jiang Haichao, who specializes in Ming history, I would definitely not be able to catch up.
The relationship is gradually getting closer.
Seeing that the time was ripe, I asked tentatively: "Um, Teacher Jiang, you just seemed to predict that something was going to happen in Xiaomayi. What's going on?"
