Zhoucun has become one of the main commercial ports in Shandong since the Qing Dynasty.
Sima Qian's "Historical Records. Biographies of Huozhi" said: "There are thousands of jujube trees in Anyi; thousands of chestnut trees in Yan and Qin; thousands of orange trees in Jiangling in Shuhan; thousands of hagi trees in the south of Changshan Mountain in Huaibei, between Heji; thousands of acres of lacquer in Chen and Xia; Qi,
Thousand acres of mulberry and hemp in Shandong; Thousand acres of bamboo in Weichuan." The thousand acres of mulberry and hemp in Qilu and Shandong refer to the prosperity of Shandong's sericulture industry in the past.
The story of Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies happened in the area around Zhoucun. In myths and legends, the wife of the filial son Dong Yong was transformed into the seven fairies in the sky. The seven fairies weaved 10 pieces of brocade silk in one night to redeem Dong Yong.
It may be an idealized portrayal of the scene in Zhoucun in the Han Dynasty where "the fields were full of mulberry trees, every household was raising silkworms, the sound of machines could be heard every step of the way, and every household was weaving silk and satin." Just imagine, there were always some beautiful weaver girls in every household making machines.
It's heart-pounding. It's a natural thing to use the gorgeous and exaggerated style of Han Fu to interpret a beautiful Weaver Girl into a mythical story of eternal love in heaven and earth.
Since the Wuhan Rebellion, wars have been frequent in the northern land, and people are in dire straits. However, farmers in Zhoucun, Shandong, have never stopped planting mulberry and raising silkworms. In addition, Zhoucun is a famous town in Changshan County, 18 miles north of the county seat.
In ancient times, Qingzhou was the strategic hub of the east-west highway between Jinan. It was connected to both banks of the Yellow River in the north and the Yimeng region in the south. The geographical and transportation location was very favorable. Chinese and foreign merchants gathered here, and the silk here was transported by land to Kaifeng, Luoyang and Xi'an, and then to Xinjiang and the Arab region.
; From the waterway, it was transported to North Korea and Japan through Dengzhou, Zhifu and other seaports not far away. It made Gejinzhou Village a veritable source of the ancient Chinese land Silk Road and the Northern Maritime Silk Road. At the same time
, foreign culture also spread to Zhoucun, where there is not only Manichaeism, that is, the Mingjiao Temple of Mingjiao, but also Hu cakes from the Western Regions, which are the world-famous Zhoucun Shaobing.
In modern times, China's sericulture and silk industry has formed five central regions: Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Sichuan, and Shandong, while Shandong's sericulture and silk industry has two systems and three centers. The two systems are the tussah sericulture system and the sericulture system.
, the three centers are the Jiaodong area, the Zhoucun area and the vicinity of Linqu. Among them, the Jiaodong area belongs to the sericulture system, and Zhoucun and Linqu belong to the sericulture system. If you plant mulberry, raise sericulture, reeling, weaving, printing and dyeing, you will have your own system.
, integration of production, supply and marketing, one-stop agriculture, industry and trade, etc., Shandong’s sericulture industry is the most famous in the country, and it must be Zhoucun.
By the time of Kangxi and Qianlong, Zhoucun had become a world-famous commercial center. Together with Foshan in Guangdong, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi, and Zhuxian Town in Henan, it was known as the four major dry docks. There is a folk saying that "one village in Shandong, one in Zhili"
, "Jinzhou Village, Yinwei County", which shows the prosperity at that time. Emperor Qianlong was so happy after visiting here that he wrote the title "The No. 1 Village in the World".
In May 1904, due to the influence of the opening of Qingdao, at the request of Yuan Shikai and Zhou Fu, Zhoucun and Weixian were opened as commercial ports. Soon afterwards, the entire Jiaoji Road was connected, and a passenger and cargo line was set up in Zhoucun
Station. Now, Zhoucun developed faster. By the 1930s, there were 1,766 industrial and commercial households in Zhoucun, including 727 merchants. There were world-famous big merchants like Badaxiang.
However, this was the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and the iron hoofs of the Japanese army had just trampled through Zhoucun, trampling the beautiful and rich Zhoucun to pieces. After the Eighth Route Army recaptured Zhoucun, knowing that the Japanese army's large-scale revenge attack was imminent, they did not bother to develop the economy, but
Mobilize the public with all our strength, merchants should move assets and goods quickly, and implement strict measures to clear the country.
After receiving the order to open the Jiaoji Road, the commander of the Japanese Second Army, Lieutenant General Dongjiurgong Nianyan Wang, quickly mobilized troops and replenished ammunition and baggage. Finally, everything was ready.
They held a decent swearing-in ceremony and found a monk who was a member of the Imperial Palace of Japan. They chanted Japanese scriptures over and over again, and then asked the traitor Ma Liang to go up and talk about how the people of Shandong looked forward to the imperial army like rain.
bullshit.
After all the procedures that should be carried out were completed, King Nianyan of the East Kyur Palace adjusted his military uniform, stood up and said to a group of Japanese generals and Japanese soldiers participating in the swearing-in ceremony: "Emperor's warriors: Since the full-scale outbreak of the China Jihad, Great Japan has
The imperial army was invincible and captured famous Chinese cities such as Peking, Shanghai, Tianjin, Taiyuan, Jinan, and Hangzhou, as well as Nanjing, the capital of China. Facts have proved that the Japanese army is unparalleled in the world and the Chinese army is vulnerable. However, a new enemy appears in front of us.
The ferocious enemy is Liu Yimin, the instructor of the China Eighth Route Army who is entrenched in Shandong. This cunning and ferocious army is like a hungry wolf. It will pounce on the lone imperial army and bite it, causing the imperial army to suffer successive defeats and losses.
A large number of elite soldiers who have experienced battles for a long time."
Speaking of this, Lieutenant General Wang Nianyan of Dongjiuer Palace paused, puffed up his chest, and said loudly: "Now, it is time for us to settle the accounts with Liu Yimin. Hundreds of thousands of elite imperial troops formed three heavy groups to attack.
Towards the mountainous areas of central Shandong, southern Shandong, and Taiyi, we will wipe out the entire Eighth Route Army in Shandong in one fell swoop. The mission of our group is to recover the central and eastern Shandong areas and open up the Jiaoji Road. I believe that with the protection of Amaterasu, the emperor will
The most elite Second Division, Fifth Division, and Fourteenth Division of the army are here. We will definitely be able to seize the main force of the Eighth Route Army's teaching division and annihilate them. Warriors of the Emperor, follow me forward, capture Liu Yimin alive, and fight for his death.
The Imperial Army soldiers take revenge!"
The Japanese devils in the audience were making a lot of noise.
After Lieutenant General Nianyan Wang of Dongjiur Palace issued the combat order, the Japanese Northern Front Group was divided into three groups. The Fifth Division was the forward and attacked along the Jiqing Highway. The Second Division was commanded to independently form the First Brigade.
The 7th Brigade was on the left wing, the 14th Division commanded the 33rd Division on the right wing, and the 108th Division served as the reserve force. Under the cover of aircraft, they marched towards Luzhong in a mighty manner.
This time, the Japanese army was not as lucky as they were in southern Hebei and Luxi.
On his way back from the Jilu border, Liu Yimin had already made up his mind to capture Lianyungang and move the Japanese army group south to completely break the Japanese encirclement and suppression campaign. Therefore, after returning to Fangzi, he did not stop for a moment and quickly adjusted his deployment. The order had arrived.
The Eighth Jiao Brigade deployed on the front line in Zhoucun joined the main corps, and Zeng Zhongsheng, Tan Zheng, Chen Dayong, and Guo Huaruo were ordered to take full command of the Seventh Jiao Brigade, Qinghe Guard Brigade, and Jiaodong Guard Brigade of the Ludong Corps, pretending to be the main force, and adopting a step-by-step strategy of resistance.
, attracting the Japanese heavy-armed group to carry out an all-out encirclement and suppression, and drag the Japanese heavy-armed group to Jiaodong. Hong Chaoyuan was ordered to command the Lunan Group's Fifth Jiao Brigade, Tai'an Detachment, and Southeast Shandong Detachment to use the special terrain of the Taiyi Mountains and Lunan to adopt blocking, ambush, and sneak attacks.
We used tactics, mines, explosives, and traps to fight resolutely and retreat slowly, causing the Japanese to misjudge that in the face of the enemy's massive attack, our army divided its troops to guard the three battlefields of Luzhong, Yimeng, and Lunan at the same time.
The battle started, and then they were outnumbered and had to retreat steadily, allowing the Japanese to quickly move north to encircle and suppress our troops in the Yimeng Mountains and Central Shandong after defeating the enemy in southern Shandong. They cooperated with the Ludong Group to attract the heavy Japanese groups to Jiaodong and Yimeng Mountains respectively.
At this time, it was time to fight the Japanese army desperately. Either you die or I live. Liu Yimin did not dare to have any reservations anymore and ordered Li Lingfeng to lead the Third Squadron of the Special Forces Brigade to stand in front of the main force and prepare to open the way for the main force to attack Lianyungang and Xuzhou.
Order Wang Laohu to lead the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron to disguise themselves as Japs and sneak into Jinan City. They must destroy the Japs airport and create chaos in Jinan City, Japs headquarters, gendarmerie, hospitals, etc. The most critical parts of the Japs are where special warriors can show off their skills.
place. Zhao Yonggang was ordered to lead the Second Special Operations Squadron to disguise themselves as Japs and conduct activities at various stations along Jinpu Road, blowing up military columns and bridges. In a word, any military target that can be bombed can be bombed, especially the Japs’ arsenal. This must not be done.
Let go. Order the sniper brigade to assign the first squadron to the command of Zeng Zhongsheng, and immediately go out to Zhangqiu to carry out sniper guerrilla warfare, destroy the small group of Japanese reconnaissance and infiltration troops, slow down the Japanese attack speed, and buy time for the main force to move south and the Ludong Group to adjust their deployment.
Order the 2nd Sniper Squadron to quickly return to the Cuulai Mountain area, join Zhang Haitao's Tai'an detachment, and cooperate with the Southern Front Group to fight. Order Wang Tongsheng to lead the 3rd Sniper Squadron to go south with the main force.
Thinking about how bold Wang Laohu is, don't get addicted to killing in Jinan City. If the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron is surrounded by heavy Japanese troops, the gain will outweigh the losses. Liu Yimin specifically stated in the order to the Special Operations Brigade that the establishment of a special operations squadron in advance would
It is a well-hidden forward base to ensure supply. Every battle must be carefully investigated to find out the pattern of the enemy's activities, so that one fatal blow can be fatal and escape. Poison gas attacks can be carried out on important targets. If the airport cannot be destroyed, poison gas bombs can be used to kill them from a distance.
Japanese pilots and airport garrison.
As a result, after the special operations brigade received the order, Wang Laohu actually said to Li Lingfeng: "Why is the division commander so wordy? Why should he worry about how to do this specifically? If Wang Laohu didn't have that ability, he would let me be a special forces officer."
Deputy Commander of the War Command?"
Li Lingfeng said coldly to Wang Laohu: "Don't be careless. The Japanese army in Jinan City is heavily guarded. Secret agents and military police are all over the streets. The passwords change several times a day. There is at least a division of Japanese there, let alone human beings.
That's 10,000 to 20,000 pigs, and they can knock you over with just their mouths. The Japanese army is pressing down on the situation, and the situation is extremely critical. The division commander has no choice, so he takes the risk and asks you to lead a squadron into Jinan City.
. It is easy for you to sneak in and attack. The problem is how to retreat safely. I think this way, we will switch, you will lead the first squadron to follow the main force, and I will lead the third squadron to Jinan. I am a little worried about you going."
When Li Lingfeng said this, of course Wang Laohu quit. He said, "The tasks are set by the division commander. We all do our own things and cannot change them." After that, he went to organize a squadron to prepare for action.
Taking into account the fact that the Japanese army believed that the Eighth Route Army aircraft had been destroyed, Liu Yimin requested the central government's approval to quickly mobilize the remaining bombers of the Eighth Route Army and set up another airport to prepare for another raid on the Japanese North China Aviation Group's airport to support our army's operations.
After adjusting the deployment, Liu Yimin ordered the troops to stay at the Hebei-Shandong border, Jizhong, southern Hebei, and western Shandong. After the Japanese heavy group withdrew, he took quick action to focus on attacking the Japanese baggage troops and puppet troops, and grabbing food from the Japanese.
Grab supplies. The scale of each battle must be controlled, and the Japanese must not be organized to annihilate the Japanese who are organized above the squadron. The Japanese must be made to think that it is a small group of troops that our army has not broken out from, so as to prevent the Japanese from mobilizing a large army for a second heavy encirclement and suppression.
After the military deployment was completed, due to time constraints, the troops had already begun to take action. Liu Yimin took off the saddle next to the war horse, spread paper on the saddle, and personally drafted an anti-Japanese mobilization order for the whole province of Shandong in the name of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Government Council.
.
In the mobilization order, Liu Yimin wrote: "The anti-Japanese democratic governments at all levels in Shandong, the anti-Japanese armed forces, fellow villagers, and compatriots: After the Japanese army suffered defeats in western Shandong, central Shandong, southern Shandong, southeastern Shandong, and southwestern Shandong, they became angry and angry.
, mobilized a large army and used all the strength of the country to encircle and suppress our anti-Japanese base areas in the North China Plain and Shandong. In just three days, the Japanese army massacred more than 50,000 of our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in central Hebei, southern Hebei, the border of Hebei and Shandong, western Shandong, and southwestern Shandong, creating
One horrifying tragedy after another happened. The crimes of the Japanese army could not be wiped out with the bamboos in the Southern Mountains, and the blood of the compatriots could not be washed away by the water of the Bohai Sea!
In the face of the heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army, the soldiers of the Shandong people and our heroic instructors of the Eighth Route Army were fearless and stood up to fight. Unexpected troops protruded into the Hebei-Shandong border and completely annihilated the elite Tenth Division of the Japanese army, and defeated the Second Division and the Thirty-fifth Division.
The regiment achieved the first victory in the anti-Japanese encirclement and suppression in the Shandong Anti-Japanese Base Area, forcing the Japanese army to suffer another major defeat. With the leadership of the Communist Party and the presence of the Eighth Route Army, we will definitely defeat the Japanese encirclement and suppression and defend our base areas.
In the face of a large-scale encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army, our Shandong soldiers and civilians, regardless of gender, old or young, all have the responsibility to resist and defend the territory. If you don't resist the Japanese, you'd rather die!
The anti-Japanese regimes, local armed forces, and militia must organize mass transfers and strictly fortify the walls and clear the fields so that the little devils cannot find food and drink clean water in the base areas. All young and middle-aged people must participate in militia team training and join the stretcher team to rescue the wounded.
Deliver food and ammunition to the front line, break roads, dig traps, lay landmines, protect the elderly, children and women, and obey the orders of cadres of the anti-Japanese democratic government.
Anyone who dares to surrender to the enemy and become a traitor will be killed! Anyone who dares to lead the Japanese to massacre the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians will be killed! Anyone who dares to provide intelligence about our army to the Japanese will be killed! Anyone who dares to betray anti-Japanese government cadres and wounded people will be killed!
We call on all compatriots in Shandong to pick up the guns, knives, and hoes in their hands, and fight wits and courage with the Japanese! Those who assist the anti-Japanese democratic government to protect the people and protect the safety of their lives and property, no matter in what form, including forming a white skin with the Japanese and the Japanese.
Those who maintain the Red Heart Association will all be given heavy rewards! Those who have contributed to killing the Japanese, regardless of age or sex, will be given heavy rewards! Those who have protected the wounded, led the way for the troops, and cooperated with the troops in combat will all be given heavy rewards!
If one person kills the Japs, the whole family will be honored! One person will get a prize for killing the Japs. The more Japs you kill, the greater the rewards will be. Until you participate in the Hero Model Association, you will receive awards in person from Mr. Liu Yimin and Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan, wearing red flowers and medals!
Compatriots, unite and build the Great Wall of Steel with our flesh and blood to defend our homes, defend our elderly, women, and children, defend our land, houses, grain, and livestock, and defend our beautiful Shandong!
The resistance to Japan will be victorious! Justice will be victorious! The people will be victorious!"
After drafting the mobilization order, he handed it to the radio station and sent it to various places immediately. Telegrams from the chairman and the headquarters also arrived, approving Liu Yimin's battle plan. Liu Yimin immediately issued an order for the main force to go south to fight. Together with Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong, he led the 1st Teaching Brigade and the 3rd Teaching Brigade.
The 4th Teaching Brigade, the 6th Teaching Brigade, the 8th Teaching Brigade, the Artillery Brigade, the Air Defense Brigade and the division's direct troops were divided into separate groups, and they quickly moved southward at starry night to wait in hiding in Ju County and Ganyu on the Sulu border.
The Eighth Route Army's operations were all conducted at night and could not be detected by Japanese planes. Even if they occasionally marched during the day, the troops were strictly camouflaged. The soldiers wore straw hats woven from green grass on their heads, and their gray military uniforms were all dyed with grass juice.
Green, tanks, armored vehicles, cars, and large vehicles were all covered with camouflage nets. At this time, the Japanese army had no concept of astronomy in their military education. How could they know that under those patches of green, China's most elite troops were marching. As for
Liu Yimin is not worried at all about things like informing on traitors. Wherever the instructor goes, he will show no mercy to Japanese spies and traitors. Hu Di's security department and Li Lingfeng's special forces are very experienced in doing this! In the instructor's base area
, it is more difficult to find a hard-core traitor than to find a rare animal. Of course, Liu Yimin dare not say whether there will be more traitors after the base area falls, but it will definitely not happen again, as there were so many traitors in Shandong in history, because
The leading traitors in the Eighth Route Army base areas have all gone to where they should go. Without leading traitors, it will be difficult for the traitors to take over.
After the main force left, Zeng Zhongsheng also adjusted his deployment and concentrated all the 7th Jiao Brigade on the front lines of Zhoucun and Weixian. He ordered the Jiaodong Guard Brigade to quickly reserve food and ammunition in the Jiaodong Mountains, establish a group-wide rear hospital, and send troops to monitor.
The Japanese Marine Corps in Qingdao and Weihai trapped the Japs in Qingdao and Weihai and beat them up as long as they dared to leave the city. They ordered the Qinghe Guard Brigade to serve as the reserve team of the entire group, and directed the local armed groups to clear the country and prepare a pre-emptive line along the Jiaoji Road.
We set up positions and supported the Seventh Brigade to fight and retreat step by step until they retreated to the Jiaodong Mountains.
Zeng Zhongsheng made it very clear in his order: "This time our army will fight on the northern front, it will definitely pay a great sacrifice. But this sacrifice is the price our army must pay to break the Japanese army's heavy encirclement and suppression. As long as we lead the Japanese heavy army group to Jiaodong
, the main force of the division will have the opportunity to achieve the campaign objectives, and will inevitably give the heavy Japanese army group attacking Shandong a wake-up call again, forcing them to quickly evacuate the heavy group and stabilize the situation in Shandong. Therefore, the Qinghe Garrison Brigade and the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade must seize all time to
Train troops in accordance with our army's training outline and make preparations to provide supplements to the 7th Teaching Brigade. Local organizations, county brigades, district squads and militia provide logistical rescue guarantees for the main operations, and actively attack small Japanese reconnaissance units to seize food.
Troops, let the enemy be beaten everywhere, and cooperate with the main force to defeat the Japanese encirclement and suppression."
How did Lieutenant General Wang Nianyan of Dongjiur Palace know that in this crisis situation, the Eighth Route Army was still setting a trap for him? He commanded the troops to embark on a journey to open up the Jiaoji Road.
