Longchang Station is very famous. It is not only the first of the nine Shuixi Stations from Guizhou to Sichuan, but also the birthplace of Wang Yangming’s philosophy.
Mr. Yangming is incredible.
He couldn't speak at the age of five. Later, his grandfather changed his name to "Shou Ren" based on the saying in "The Analects of Confucius: Duke Lingyang of Wei" that "Knowledge and knowledge cannot be kept by benevolence", and he immediately started to speak.
When I was eighteen years old, I was studying "Studying Things to Improve Knowledge", and after seven days of looking at bamboos, I fell ill.
Li Dongyang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, praised him as a top scholar, but he failed to pass the imperial examination twice.
His father comforted him, but he smiled and said: You are ashamed of not getting the first place, and I am ashamed of not getting the first place but being upset about it."
Look at his psychological quality!
Mr. Wang is a great philosopher: Yangming Xinxue; a great military strategist: pinging the bandits in Jiangxi, the rebellion of King Ning, and the rebellion of Tongyao in Guangdong; a great educator: setting up academies to give lectures.
He was also a great politician and dared to fight against the great eunuch Liu Jin. Liu Jin demoted him from the position of head of the Ministry of War to the post of a postmaster. He was not a postmaster of a good place, but a postmaster of the Longchang Posthouse in Dashangou, Guizhou.
At that time, Longchang Post Station was in disrepair and could not find a place to live. He lived in a cave in Longgang Mountain south of the post station to cultivate immortality or, yes, enlightenment.
In Longchangyi, Master Wang thoroughly understood the purpose of "studying things to gain knowledge" and laid the theoretical foundation of Yangming's Psychology.
While he was enlightening, he was teaching students. Regardless of whether they were Han, Yi or Miao, all the students were good students. I accepted them all as masters. He also wrote "The Doctrine Shows All Living Beings in Longchang", which was known in history as "Longchang Enlightenment".< /p>
It's a pity that this sacred place of literature has turned into a battlefield.
Sun Kewang, king of the Western Army, led the Dingbei king Ai Nengqi, Wang Shangli, Feng Shuangli, Ma Yuanli and other generals, a total of 100,000 troops, and stormed Longchangyi; Funan king Liu Wenxiu, led Bai Wenxuan and other generals, led two troops Wang Dingguo of Anxi led Wang Dingguo, Zhang Hualong and other generals with 40,000 troops to attack Zazuosi; he also sent General He Jiuyi to lead 30,000 troops to defend Qingshan Division, Dizhai Division, Xifeng Division, and Wujiang River Ferry as an escape route.
An Kun led his generals Chagel, Abu Hei and other generals, and fifty thousand An's hyenas, relying on Longgang Mountain in the south of Longchangyi, condescendingly defending desperately.
The officers and soldiers of the Daxi Army, who had experienced hundreds of battles, held waist knives and shields on their heads, hunched their waists, and attacked the mountain in groups of three or five.
"Shoot!"
The archers of Daxi Army shot upward to cover the attack on the mountain.
"Shoot!"
An's hyena does not need a bow, but uses a crossbow and a musket, shooting downwards without showing any signs of weakness.
When fighting in mountainous areas, crossbows are more useful than bows.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
One after another, the Western Army soldiers hit their crossbows and rolled down the hillside.
A fierce Western Military Colonel was about to attack the top of the mountain when a rolling log rolled down the mountain with gravity and crushed him.
"Put the stone in!"
Following the orders of An Kun's general Chagel, one big stone after another rolled down the mountain. This kind of stone is processed to be smoother, with less friction when rolling down, and the speed is fast. As long as it hits the Western Army, it will be turned into flesh.
Mud.
Some of the soldiers of the Western Army turned back, and some hid behind obstacles and squatted down to avoid rocks.
The first attack was repulsed.
"Brother, attacking hard like this won't work!" Ai Nengqi said to Sun Kewang.
Sun Kewang raised his head and looked at the mountain: "Let the tiger crouching cannon come closer and blast up the mountain. Order the king to salute, and rush up as soon as the cannon stops."
"Boom!"
The shotgun fired by the Crouching Tiger Cannon looks very fierce, but most of it is blocked by the branches on the mountain.
The soldiers hid in the bushes, firing muskets and crossbows, and fell down one after another.
"Kill!"
The Western Army generals Wang Shangli, Feng Shuangli, and Ma Yuanli personally attacked the mountain.
"Kill!"
Ankun, Chagel, and Abuhei were not to be outdone.
The Holy Land of Dragon Field turns into Shura Field.

In Zazuo City east of Longchangyi, Li Mingzhong is inspecting the city wall.
When "Commander" saw Li Mingzhong, his subordinates who were lying or sitting to rest stood up one after another.
Li Mingzhong quickly signaled his men to rest.
"Soldiers, don't be too polite. Take a good rest and keep yourself up to kill the enemy."
The brutal siege battle has been going on for five days. More than 3,000 subordinates have been laid to rest in Zazuo City, and the enemy has also thrown away thousands of corpses.
His opponent, Li Dingguo, was a strong general and very good at fighting. He set up his flag in the east city and mobilized artillery to bombard the east city. However, he suddenly led his troops up ladders from the west city, catching Li Mingzhong off guard.
At the critical moment, thanks to the Ming army general Wei Wanzhong, he fought desperately and drove back the Western troops who had boarded the city. Otherwise, Zazuo City would have been in danger.
Li Mingzhong looked at this earthen city and secretly rejoiced.
The height of Zazuo City is no more than ten feet high. After the defeat of Xifeng, he only had 28,000 remaining troops. If Sun Kewang led his entire army to attack, he would never be able to resist it. Fortunately, Sun Kewang was afraid of the troops stationed at Lu Guangyi and Longchangyi.
Pi Xiong and An Kun attacked their flanks. They attacked Lu Guangyi and Longchangyi first, giving themselves time to breathe.
When Li Dingguo arrived, he had already strengthened the city wall and recruited strong men to defend the city, so he could persist until now.
Winter has not yet passed, and the biting cold wind blows, like a knife shaving his face. Li Mingzhong paused and suddenly smelled the smell of blood.
??
Lu Guangyi's offensive and defensive battle has been going on for more than a month, and the Western Army has nothing to do against the veteran Pi Xiong.
Pixiong originally had 7,000 soldiers, but he collected 2,000 Huangma troops and routed them, resulting in 9,000 soldiers.
After fighting for more than a month, Pi Xiong lost 3,000 men and the Western Army lost 10,000.
The result of this kind of battle was not due to how powerful Pi Xiong was or how capable he was of fighting, but because Lu Guangcheng was so solidly built.
During the She'an Rebellion, the great chieftain An Bangyan took Lu Guangcheng as his base camp to resist the Ming army. It took several years before it was quelled, which shows how strong it is.
Not only is the city built solidly, there is also Shuikou Village on Luguangdu on the other side of the Luguang River, which forms an angle with Luguang City across the Luguang River.
General Chaga of Shuixi'an clan led ten thousand troops to defend the stronghold.
Whenever Pixiong could no longer resist, Chaga would cross the river to harass the Western Army.
Sun Kewang saw that Lu Guangyi was so difficult to defeat, so he had to let Liu Wenxiu and Bai Wenxuan lead 20,000 troops to monitor Pixiong.
Liu Wenxiu and Bai Wenxuan surrounded Lu Guangcheng on three sides, leaving only the north gate near Huangshadu. They hoped that Pi Xiong could withdraw from the north gate to the other side and capture Lu Guang without a fight.
Unexpectedly, after Pixiong received Zhu Hengjia's edict naming him Duke Kuang, and learned that his daughter had been officially named Princess Han, he became determined to repay his kindness with death. He actually did not cross the river to escape, but stayed in Lu Guangcheng and held him tightly. Daxi Army.

At the Ming Army Camp in Guiyang, Zhu Hengjia was holding a military meeting.
"Let's talk about it, should we save Longchangyi first or Zazuo City first?"
Fan Youxian, the Marquis of Dingbei, had a loud voice: "I think there is nothing to discuss in supervising the country. Capture the thief first and capture the king first. Sun Kewang is in Longchangyi, so naturally he will save Longchangyi first."
"Yes, if Sun Kewang is defeated in the supervision of the country, the Western bandits will naturally collapse." Zhang Chengwu, the deputy general of the middle camp, and Wang Xiang, the deputy general of the right camp, both agreed with Fan Youxian's opinion.
Zhao Erhu, deputy general of the vehicle and artillery battalion, did not speak.
"General Zhao, what do you think?"
"Supervising the country, in the past, the last general would have agreed with Dingbeihou and the other generals to save Longchangyi first. But now, the last general thinks that Zazuo City should be saved first."
Zhu Hengjia was very surprised: "Why is this?"
Zhao Erhu said: "This time, half of our 60,000 troops are chariot and artillery battalions. The sidecars are heavy and bulky, making it inconvenient to operate on mountain roads. The mountain roads in Longchangyi are rugged, and the combat power of the chariot and artillery battalions cannot be fully utilized; and Zazuo Near the city, the terrain is relatively flat, suitable for vehicle and artillery battalion operations."
Zhu Hengjia suddenly realized: "Yes! Although his chariot and artillery battalion has strong artillery and firepower, it also has weaknesses. The chariot is too heavy and cannot be pushed on the mountain road. If we attack Longchangyi, only 30,000 of the 60,000 soldiers can fight. With three Ten thousand people can defeat Sun Yat-sen, but he can expect hundreds of thousands of them. Isn’t it certain that he will be defeated? It’s better to save Zazuo City first.”
He made up his mind: "Tonight we will have a good meal and rest, and tomorrow morning we will march to Zhazuo City."
