Looking at the sad but helpless Li Yanping, Yang Zhen also had a headache. It was simply impossible for these two to go to Linxi and Bahrain, where the fierce battle was currently taking place. There was a battlefield there, and it was impossible for these two to have their hands tied.
With the power of a chicken, a scholar who has never even touched a gun, what if something happens to him?
If an accident occurs, it will have extremely bad consequences. Are you kidding? It's a battlefield, not a tourist spot. Although the scenery of Linxi and Bahrain's left and right banners is good, if there is no war, it will be a good place to travel.
Choice. But for now, forget it.
In fact, even if they were allowed to go there, it was actually too late. The entire Linxi County was leveled, and Wang Guangyu carried out armed demolition along the way to raise the wood needed to build the pontoon bridge. The entire East and West Wuzhumuqin Banner and
There is really not much left of the ancient buildings in Linxi.
As for the left and right banners of Bahrain, which are currently undergoing fierce fighting, and the Aruhorqin Banner, which has just experienced the war, almost all the buildings have been flattened. There is nothing left of the Prince's Mansion, Beizi Mansion, this temple, that temple.
If you let these two people go, I'm afraid they won't be able to see or say anything. If these two people who are crazy about ancient architecture find out, what will happen?
As for the ruins of the capital city of the Liao Dynasty and the Mausoleum of the Liao ancestors, because according to their location, they are not on the main battlefield, it should be nothing. But those things in the Bahrain Right Banner are not there.
That's right. Because the Bahrain Right Banner is now one of the main battlefields of the Linxi Front.
According to the current firepower intensity of both sides firing tens of thousands of artillery shells at each other within an hour, after a battle, what is left on the ground will be the ghost. Not to mention those temples, even the semi-permanent fortifications of reinforced concrete cannot stand up.
A direct hit from a 75mm field artillery round.
What matters on the battlefield is a race against time and a fight to the death. Who cares whether the thing in front of you is an antique or not, and what era it was built in? One minute of hesitation can even determine the life or death of hundreds of people. As a frontline commander
Members, if you are still worried about whether the house in front of you is a prince's temple or an antique like Beizi's Mansion, then there will be no way to fight this battle.
And what’s even more joking is, when choosing the location of the battlefield, is it right where you say it is? Do you treat the Japanese as air or as scarecrows? For these ancient buildings that don’t know when they were built and whether they have historical value, should you let your own
Do the troops use human lives to support them? Or are the lives of intellectuals like them important, but the lives of soldiers in the army are not?
And that damn imperial mausoleum of the Liao Dynasty, who knows where it is. After decades of experience in his two generations, how come he has never heard of it. Are there any other imperial mausoleums in the left and right banners of Bahrain? There are imperial mausoleums in the northeast.
, he knew this. Aren’t Beiling and Dongling both located around Fengtian, which was Shenyang in later generations?
In addition to the imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty, are there other imperial mausoleums of other dynasties in the Northeast? He, Yang Zhen, has lived for such a long time, how come he has never heard of it? The most important thing is that it is really a ghost, this rabbit is not
How come there is an imperial mausoleum in Shiman?
Are there any other Shangjing ruins? Is there such a thing in Bahrain Zuo Banner? When I went to the Western Manchuria battlefield, why didn’t I see anything? Apart from the Lama Temple and the residence of the Mongolian prince, there was not even a serious house.
In the territory of Balinzuo Banner, is there anything that looks like a capital city? In that place, there are only mountains and grasslands. Is there anything that looks like an imperial mausoleum?
In fact, it's not that Yang Zhen is so rare, it's just that in these places, not to mention the current Chinese, or the Chinese of later generations, a few know that in the Balinzuo Banner, there is the ruins of an ancient Chinese capital and a once glorious minority.
Imperial tombs of national dynasties?
The Xilamulun River Basin in Western Manchuria is itself the birthplace of the Khitan nation that established the Liao Dynasty. After the rise of the Liao Dynasty, Shangjing Linhuang Mansion was established here. It is the most important of the five capitals of the Liao Dynasty.
The capital city. In the Qing Dynasty, it was also the main nomadic area of the Horqin tribe, a clan of the royal family, and the Monan Mongolian tribes that were controlled by successive emperors of the Qing Dynasty.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuangwen, who single-handedly trained two generations of emperors, was born in the Horqin tribe in Tongliao area. Among the Qing royal family, there were a large number of Mongolian concubines and even queens from here. And all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were born here.
Many princes, county kings, Baylor, Beizi and other titles were ennobled.
In order to win over these Mongolians not to rebel, the Manchu Qing government rewarded them with a lot of wealth and betrothed quite a few royal princesses to these Mongolian princes and princes. These were not fake princesses pretended by the clan girls in the Tang Dynasty, but
They are all legitimate princesses.
Emperor Kangxi alone had as many as seven princesses marrying into Mongolian tribes. As for the emperor’s adopted daughters and clan members, there were even more princes’ children marrying into Mongolian tribes. Adding up the inside and outside, it reached
More than 200 people. The marriage between Manchu and Mongolia was an important means for the Manchu and Qing royal families to control Mongolia, especially the Mongolian tribes in Monan.
Not only were princesses and clan girls married in large numbers, but many of the queens and concubines in the palace were also born in Mongolia. Especially the Horqin tribe, which had the closest relationship with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Only one Horqin tribe was born in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
There were three queens, and there was also the empress dowager Xiaozhuangwen who was famous all over the world.
And these princes, Beile, relied on their ancestors' habit of robbery to accumulate a large amount of wealth. These mansions and mausoleums are quite magnificent. Although they cannot be compared with those in the pass, in Mongolia, which is mainly based on animal husbandry,
It is extremely luxurious on the grassland.
In addition to mansions on the Hulunbuir Grassland, the Ujimqin Grassland, and the left and right banners of Bahrain, there are also a large number of luxurious cemeteries of princesses and princes. So when it comes to the Western Manchuria area, what are the Prince's Mansion and Beizi Mansion?
There are quite a lot of place names such as Wangye Temple and Beizi Temple. The seat of government of Wengniute Banner of the Puppet Manchuria is even directly called Wangye Mansion.
In addition, by the Qing Dynasty, Lamaism was quite popular in Mongolia. It even carried out the reincarnation of living Buddhas according to the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The devout Mongolians are the same as the Tibetans. Even the poorest people have to donate as long as they have some savings.
Go to the temple. Either make offerings to the Living Buddha or build a temple.
Coupled with the donations from those wealthy Mongolian princes, there are quite a lot of large and small lamasery temples in Western Manchuria, and they can be said to be exquisite. Although they are not as many as those in the homeland of Qinghai-Tibet Lamaism, the total number is still quite large.
There are many and the distribution is quite common.
It's just that these things are generally difficult for people who are not familiar with Chinese history to understand. It's not that Yang Zhen is so rare. He was an authentic soldier in his two lives. When it comes to war history, especially the most important battle in human history.
He knew the history of World War II with great turmoil and the emergence of new tactics and equipment. He also knew the history of the Anti-Japanese War, which represented China's darkest and most shameful history.
But if we talk about his understanding of ancient Chinese history, it is only the little things he learned from history books when he was in school, and there is no more. And the little things he learned from books also gradually
The passage of time is basically returned to the teacher. After all, studying history is an extremely boring thing, and there are not many people who are interested in this stuff.
In addition, most of the large number of lamasery temples, prince Baylor's mansions, and luxurious cemeteries of princes and princesses in Western Manchuria were destroyed in that crazy era. Most of the so-called overland tourist attractions developed later were copied in the later period. As well as Bahrain
The geographical location of the Left and Right Banners is somewhat remote, and its reputation is not great. Compared with the well-known tourist spots in China that are crowded with people during holidays, the reputation is much different.
Regarding ancient buildings and imperial tombs, Chinese people still recognize Beijing, which has a large number of imperial buildings, the Ming Tombs, and the Eastern and Western Tombs of the Qing Dynasty as more famous things. After all, the famous imperial capitals in the pass are much better than the remote mountains and remote areas like Bahrain and Left Banners.
The more famous it is, the better the transportation and other comprehensive conditions will be.
Although there are huge crowds of people on holidays, it is more about looking at the back of the head or suffering than traveling, but it still cannot resist people's enthusiasm. China's five thousand years of history has left too many resources to future generations. Those places with good transportation conditions
I can’t even see it. Except for a few enthusiasts, who would come all the way to travel to this corner of the country?
But in this era, when people are not engaged in military service and being rained with bullets all day long, they are trying to find ways to use the rare opportunity of World War II to scheming with the United States and the Soviet Union to develop and build China's own industry. The little free time they have is also devoted to the study of military theory.
He didn't even have time to dig into the pile of books and study Chinese history. So he turned a blind eye to the things these two people proposed. In addition to knowing that there are many lamasery temples in Western Manchuria, and they are all relatively exquisite,
Don't know anything about the rest.
In fact, he didn't know that the Liao Dynasty Shangjing ruins and imperial mausoleums located in the left and right banners of Bahrain were quite famous during the period of the Beiyang warlords' melee. The domestic archaeological community was very aware of it, and even the Liao ancestral mausoleum was made public by some warlords and other missions.
They have been robbed and excavated. After the September 18th Incident, the Japanese also organized robbed excavations of the imperial tombs of the Liao Dynasty in the name of archeology.
These two architects also grasped these situations through seeing the lost cultural relics seized from the enemy and puppets when Harbin was occupied by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
I am worried that the tombs of the Liao Dynasty emperors, which have been robbed on a large scale many times, as well as the hundreds of years of history throughout Western Manchuria, which can be said to be the essence of Manchu and Mongolian architecture, the exquisite lamaseries and the mansions of Mongolian princes and nobles, will be completely destroyed in the flames of war.
, they repeatedly requested to go to the Western Manchuria battlefield for on-the-spot investigation.
Since the decades of warlord fighting in Beiyang, to the invasion of foreign enemies during the September 18th and July 7th Incidents, too many ancient buildings in China were destroyed in the flames of war. And the tombs of emperors of past dynasties suffered even more damage because of the large amount of treasures in the tombs.
A lot of disasters. Due to financial constraints, many warlords turned their minds to these tombs.
These buildings, which embody the essence of China's historical development for thousands of years, were extensively destroyed and even burned to the ground. In later generations, these two men once shed tears because of the demolition of Beijing's city walls, publicly argued with the central government's top officials, and even pointed at the director of the National Cultural Heritage Bureau.
Everyone in the architectural community, who cherishes ancient buildings as much as life, is extremely saddened by the curse.
The fire at the Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain and the final result of the thousand-year-old temple being reduced to ruins made these two people feel distressed for many years. Now they are worried that the Qing Dynasty lamaseries, royal palaces, and mausoleums all over Western Manchuria will suffer the same consequences.
That's why I came up with this method.
Regarding this situation, Yang Zhen was also scratching his head. But when a problem arises, he must find a way to solve it. Yang Zhen, who only has a certain understanding of the temperament and temperament of these two people, can't come up with a solution to the problem for a while.
Come, let them go or not, it was quite a headache. For the moment, he couldn't think of any way to deal with these two stubborn people.
