However, due to the limited special funds of the imperial court at that time and the exploitation by the competent officials, there was not much money left to really spend on ideas. Every year, the "gun battle" is a mere formality: the gong begins to clear the way, and several cold shots end. Decades later, only a few scales of the old dragon king were injured. However, it took the old dragon king more than 200 years to heal the injured Longlin. After his recovery, he chose Dr. Sun Yat-sen, a Hakka who was closely related to Xingmeilong Cave, and inexplicably appointed He Ziyuan, He Tianjiong, Gongbo He, Liao and other nobles, as well as countless people with lofty ideals in China to help him elect, and spent a lot of effort to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty and establish the Republic of China. It's called "cannon beating thin dog ridge", isn't it a sworn enemy of * * * ...
Note: The "Shougouling" is located in Niumian Mountain outside the East Gate of Guangzhou, and it is the "Cemetery for Soldiers Died in the First Division of Guangdong Army" founded by Sun Yat-sen himself. It is also the burial place of He Ziyuan, the brother of the Revolution of 1911, the founder of modern education in China, the main ally of Jiaying country and the sixth brother of the League. He buried Colonel He Guanzhong, the highest-ranking senior general of the Guangdong Army who died in the cemetery of the First Division of the Guangdong Army in Shougouling.
He Ziyuan, He Tianjiong, Liao et al. They are all "Sha Bao" brothers of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who was the first member to join the League after he founded it in Tokyo, Japan on 1905. Yuexiu Mountain and Baiyun Mountain used to be called "Guanyin Mountain" and were praised as holy mountains by Guangdong people. Guangzhou Shougouling, located at the southern foot of Baiyun Mountain, looks like a thin dog with its head facing northwest and its tail facing southeast. If you stand on Baiyun Mountain, the dog is thinner, and even every rib on the dog can be counted. It's called thin dog ridge, worthy of the name. Strangely, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the imperial court spent a lot of manpower and material resources to bomb every year. Why? It turns out there is an absurd legend here. During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, Guangdong talents won the top prize, which caused some people in the imperial court to be jealous. These people deliberately spread a song: "there is Wolong on the top of the thin dog mountain, which rushed into the sky after thirteen years." The golden fire invaded the empire and the sun shone in Guangdong. " A few days later, this song was spread to hongzhi emperor, making the emperor uneasy, and immediately called the civil and military ministers to discuss it.
Ma Shuicheng, the minister of the DPRK, took the opportunity to say: "A big hole suddenly fell in Shougouling, Guangdong Province, which was unfathomable, and a lucky cloud floated out of it. Mr. Feng Shui predicted that Shougouling was a vibrant place. Thirteen years later, a golden dragon will fly out of it. If it doesn't succeed, Daming will be very lucky ... Liu Jin, the eunuch general manager, also quickly agreed. The two guys, echoing each other, saw the emperor with a grain of salt and urged him to call Mr. Feng Shui to ask. Mr. Feng Shui is a greedy villain. He had already got the money from those treacherous court officials, so naturally he spoke wildly in front of the emperor, deliberately saying that in 13 years, there would be an emperor in Guangdong. Hiroshi's face changed with fear. Mr. Feng Shui pretended to be mysterious and said it was not difficult to break the emperor's spirit in Shougouling. For three years in a row, on the first frost day of each year, only local officials were sent to hit the thin dog ridge with big shells, which would definitely break the imperial spirit there.
The emperor immediately ordered Guangdong prefect Gaofeng to shoot Shougouling for three years, and all expenses were borne by the court.
Gao Feng smiled as soon as he received the imperial edict. He laughed that the fatuous emperor actually believed those fallacies and heresies, and that he could take the opportunity to make a windfall. So Gao Feng led all the soldiers, carrying cannons and boasting along the street. When I got to the thin dog ridge, I fired a few shots at random and it was over. However, when playing in the imperial court, in order to defraud more money, the peak play was mysterious, and the street name and road name of Guangzhou City were linked together to show that it was a long way and expensive to shoot the thin dog ridge. His play is written like this:
"Starting from the general yamen, after the four arches, the breeze passes the bright moon. From Ma Xiao Station to Malaysia Station, via Gongbei Building, from Datang to Xiaotang, from Xiaodongmen to Dadongmen, via Dengfeng Road, from Touwanggang to Xiangwanggang, from Xiaoshahe to Dashahe ... the whole journey is more than 300 miles, with gunpowder 1000 kilograms each time. All the foot soldiers fought bravely for the first place and lived up to your orders, spending 200,000 taels of silver every year. " Hongzhi emperor looked at the script. Ah, it takes two horse stops to get to the thin dog ridge, two ponds, two hills and two shahes. It takes so many places to get to the thin dog ridge. Only two hundred and two thousand pieces of silver a year, not much. As long as there is no emperor in Guangdong, the money is worth it! The emperor must play.
When Gao Feng saw the nonsense, he convinced the emperor that he was more greedy. The next year, he wrote a letter to the throne: "The thin dog ridge is very prosperous, and it will take at least a few years to break up. 」
The emperor must play again. One is to keep the throne, and the other is to embezzle more silver dollars. It has been an anecdote for many years. There are two alleys on Zhongshan 5th Road in Guangzhou, namely Ma Xiao Station and Malaysia Station, which are only tens of meters apart. The court thought that they were thousands of miles apart and allocated a large sum of military money every year to conquer the business. What the hell is going on here? The story has to start from the thin dog ridge in Shahe.
Legend has it that a long time ago, thin dog ridge had no name, and it was an unknown hill. But on this mountain, there is a magical fairy fruit village. Because the vegetables grown there are particularly fresh and tender, and the fruits are particularly sweet, and these fruits and vegetables are still fresh and do not change color after ten and a half months of picking. What a miracle! The villagers rely on this excellent fruit and vegetable to sell at a good price, buy some oil and salt rice, and live a life of peace and contentment. This village was named Guo Xi 'an Village.
Later, I don't know in what age, a new magistrate in Guangzhou heard that the fruits and vegetables in Guo Xi 'an Village were delicious and fresh, so he sent an official to ask for some. After tasting it, I thought it was really good, especially the item of "keeping fresh", which made him think: wouldn't it be a good opportunity to increase the grade and rank if these fruits and vegetables were listed as tributes to the emperor? So he ordered that all fruits and vegetables in Guo Xi 'an village should not be taken out, one for the imperial court and the other for the local government to enjoy. In this way, the lifeblood of the farmers in Guo Xi' an village was cut off for them. Who would agree? People not only don't pay, but also keep all the good fruits and vegetables for themselves. This time, the satrap became angry from embarrassment: little pariah, how dare you disobey my will! So he gave another order: within three days, if you don't hand it in, the whole village will turn to ashes! Not to be outdone, people in Guo Xi 'an Village just don't pay. As soon as the three-day deadline arrived, the prefect ordered a bloodbath of Guo Xi 'an village. He personally led 3,000 elite soldiers into the village, killing everyone he saw, robbing everything he saw, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.
They burned down the house and killed all the villagers. Just as I was about to climb a tree to pick fruit, a rhubarb dog suddenly rushed out of the mountain and roared at the mount of the satrap. The satrap's horse got a fright, screamed and jumped into the air, throwing the satrap down. Soldiers came to the rescue and were killed by rhubarb dog. I saw rhubarb dog on the rampage and pounced on the satrap. Although the satrap has a little strength and a long sword, he can't resist rhubarb dog. Rhubarb dog jumped up and tore a piece of meat from the satrap's leg. The satrap cried, crying and shouting, "Kill this beast!" " Suddenly, ten thousand arrows were fired, as if it were raining. Rhubarb dog was injured, but he didn't fall down. On the contrary, it quickly jumped to the mountain, where it barked loudly, making the enemy afraid to approach. This cry, like a tiger roar, like thunder, shook the whole valley. Suddenly, there was a bolt from the blue and the wind and rain blew hard, and the soldiers were scared out of their wits. They dare not ask for food, dare not pick fruit, and just want to escape. The ground was wet and slippery, and they fell dead and trampled to death. The satrap's leg was bitten by rhubarb dog, lying on the muddy ground, and trampled into a paste by the mutinous soldiers. The storm lasted for three days and nights, and rhubarb dog kept screaming for three days and nights. I'm tired and hungry, and I have nothing to eat. Its voice gradually faded and hoarse.
Since then, Guo Xi 'an village has been in ruins, with no fresh vegetables or sweet fruits. Rhubarb dog is called on the mountain every night. I heard that someone saw it later. Much thinner than before, and became a thin dog. Although skinny, he still barks at night, which makes corrupt officials tremble and makes corrupt rulers worry all the time. In order to commemorate its great achievements, people named the hill near Shahe as Shougouling, which has been in use ever since.
Because people in the government and yamen are afraid of it, whenever a new official takes office, it will shell the thin dog ridge. One is to show his prestige, and the other is to fabricate military expenses and ask the court for money, saying that "Xiaoma Station is thousands of miles away from Malaysia Station, and Xiaosha River goes to Dasha River." Once conquered, it needs tens of thousands of silver. In fact, Ma Xiao Station and Malaysia Station are both in Guangzhou (now Zhongshan Fifth Road), but only a dozen miles away from Shahe. Later, Emperor Qianlong had a Buddhist. He said that the place of Thin Dog Ridge was a sacred place. If the Dragon Emperor was really born and the suppression was not stepped up, the mountains and rivers of the Qing Dynasty could not sit still. So it is no longer a year to shell, and it has gradually become a practice. Those corrupt officials also defrauded more silver. The old custom of skinning the thin dog ridge was not abolished until the Qing Dynasty was overthrown. 19 16, Guangzhou was occupied by Guangxi warlords. 1In August, 920, Sun Yat-sen ordered Deng Zhongyuan, He Guanzhong and other generals to return to Guangdong from Fujian and expel Guangxi warlord Mo Rongxin. At the end of the year, Chen Jiongming arrived in the eastern suburbs, where he fought a decisive battle with more than 10,000 troops from Guangxi and defeated Gui Jun. Sun Yat-sen returned to Guangzhou at the end of the year, and in May of 192 1, he became a very big president and established the new government of the Republic of China.
