Navy camp is a street in Lushunkou District. Why is it called a naval battalion? According to the old people, this is the barracks of Lushunkou Navy in Qing Dynasty. Until now, many elderly people often call it a military camp. Local people have many legends about its origin.
Gao xie leads the selection of geomantic treasures.
It was when the Qing soldiers first entered the customs, and the garrison in Lushun was very thin. Pirates often go ashore in coastal areas to make trouble and harm the people. When Emperor Kangxi was in charge of the world, he sent 500 navy men from Dengzhou to station in Lushunkou. But the greed of these 500 naval officers, the robbery of soldiers and the families of soldiers and bandits have harmed the people. People's life is really worse, and their suffering is even deeper. It was not until Yongzheng that this official was removed, and a Shanhaiguan man named Gao Xun was sent from Dengzhou to be the assistant commander of Lushunkou Navy.
Gao Xun came to Lushunkou and saw a messy army. There is not even a proper barracks in the barracks. So, while reorganizing the army, he took assistants, defense officials and other officials to look around the terrain and wanted to choose a scenic spot to camp. For several days, I walked several places without stopping, but I didn't find a good place.
On this day, they set off from Lushunkou, rode north along a big river, and came to a highland for about half an hour. Stop the horse high and look around. He couldn't help praising again and again, saying, "What a wonderful place! Good place! " A leading assistant next to him said, "tall man, if you like this place, let's build a barracks here." Although Gao Xieling was born in a rough place, he was crude and detailed, so he said, "Don't be busy yet. Let's look around first, and then ask the local learned people to inquire." So he asked someone to invite a teacher, Mr. Lao Han, to look around together. However, the Korean old man followed Gao and his party around for a day, but he came to "Xu Shu went to the Cao Cao-said nothing". The officials scratched their heads and urged Mr. Lao Han to speak assiduously, but Gao held out his hand to everyone and smiled as if he were in no hurry. It was not until the sun rose in Kazan that Gao Xie and his party returned to Lushun. Mr. Lao Han asked, "Mr. Gao, do you like this place?" Laughing, he said, "I waited patiently all day, and you finally spoke." Please give me your advice. "Mr. Lao Han said," To tell you the truth, this place is really a treasure trove of undiscovered talent. Look, my Lord, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides: Erlong Mountain in the east, Panlong Mountain in the west and Huoshiling in the north. On the ridge, one is left and the other is right, winding along the mountain, high and low, and there are two rows of strange stones, just like two long dragons lying on the ridge. People call it two dragons playing with pearls. Three mountains, like a barrier, can prevent the enemy from attacking from behind; Please look further south, my Lord. That wide and deep river is called Longjiang, and warships can reach Haikou by its water potential. The camp is located here, commanding and both offensive and defensive. In addition, there is a longan spring under Erlong Mountain, which flows all the year round, with strong water potential and sweet water quality, which can be used for soldiers to drink and for warships to use. "After listening to Gao, he said with satisfaction," What the old gentleman said is exactly what I want. But there is one thing I don't know. My husband is very knowledgeable and familiar with the geomantic geography here. Why hasn't he said a word all day? So far ... "Mr. Lao Han bowed:" Please forgive me. People here don't want troops stationed here. The reason, I won't say, adults will understand. I didn't speak all day because I wanted to see the virtue of adults and the way to run the army. Human nature is: a soldier is an official. After a day of shopping with adults, I saw with my own eyes where the adults and their party went. Horses do not tread on the fields of the people, and people do not disturb the homes of the people. This is indeed a teacher of justice. Adult soldiers stationed here will not harass the people. " Nodded his head and said to Gao,
"Thank you, Sir, for your advice. I will strictly control my subordinates, please tell the villagers for me. There are still many places to ask your husband. "
As a result, Gao built a five-mile camp and 1200 barracks in this highland under Panlong Mountain. In the south of the military camp, there is a ship port near Longjiang, a small teaching field built by the landlord and a large teaching field built in the northwest of the military camp. Since then, this unknown highland has become a naval camp.
During the camp construction, Mr. Lao Han was responsible for camp investigation, material supervision, accounts and bank transactions. After the barracks were completed, Gao invited Mr. Lao Han to the yamen as an adjutant.
It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that Li Hongzhang established the Beiyang Navy and built a military port pier in Lushunkou that he withdrew his navy here, but the Navy Camp became a place name and has been passed down to this day.
Gao accepted the lawsuit.
During his tenure in the Navy Camp, Gao was honest, loyal to his duties, and loved the army and the people. However, I have fought two lawsuits, one is not big and the other is not small. The officers and men in the camp and the people nearby don't understand what is going on.
It turns out that when gao xie led the camp, he built 1200 barracks, all of which were straw huts, and that's the problem. An assistant leader surnamed Jiang took the opportunity to build a barracks and used official materials privately. When Gao was discovered and exposed in public, he had to report to his boss and dismiss him. Jiang bears a grudge, so he spread word everywhere that he was greedy for money and cut corners, so he had to build a straw house. When the magistrate heard about it, he immediately sent someone to the navy camp to investigate the matter.
When the investigators came to the Navy Camp, they saw that 1200 barracks were all straw houses, so they asked Gao, why not build straw houses instead of tile houses? Gao unhurriedly replied, "People here have been living in straw houses, so there are no brick kilns nearby. Building brick houses requires transporting bricks from other places, which is time-consuming, laborious and expensive. If it takes up nearby land to build a kiln, it will take time, effort and money, and occupy fertile land, the people will also complain. Time is tight, and in the late autumn and winter, officers and men have nowhere to live, and there will be complaints; So I did as the Romans do and built a straw house. " The investigator said: "The straw house is not durable and not strong; Second, you don't need that much money! " Gao smiled and said, "My 1,200-pound thatched cottage is unusual. Please look at it carefully. As for the use of this silver, the accounts can be checked, and the rest of the silver is sealed in the warehouse. "
Investigators visited four camps in the southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest, and carefully examined 1200 houses from top to bottom. After reading it, they were all secretly surprised. It turns out that the barnyard grass used in this house is soaked in tung oil, which is not moldy or leaking on the house, and it is all integrated, which can't be blown away by the wind, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Check the accounts again, count the national treasury, the bank accounts are consistent, sealed in good condition, and the investigators have nothing to say, and report back to the state capital.
After learning the inside story, the Dengzhou magistrate took off the man surnamed Jiang's blue-feathered top hat, blamed the staff for hitting forty boards, and kicked him out of the lobby. Later, he played Ming Sheng, which made great contributions to gao xie. This little lawsuit ended like this.
However, I never thought that there would be peace in Gang Po, so I made waves again. Ganlong ascended the pole and sat in the temple, and the golden seal was handed down. Xie Yinxing came to Beijing at night for disposal. When Gao received the imperial edict, he muttered to himself, "This is going to be a bad thing. I'm afraid it's not the emperor Lao Tzu who wants to settle old scores. If you can't do it well, I'm afraid your life will be in danger. " Hurry and discuss with Mr. Lao Han. When Mr. Lao Han heard this, he felt "hitched" and felt that something was wrong.
What's going on here? It turned out that one year in the market of Navy Camp, several foreign merchants came to the market to sell Jilin Changbai Ginseng. The patrol in the camp once interfered with them. It never occurred to me that these people are not allowed to fight casually. Although several patrol soldiers are skilled in martial arts, they are no match for them. After several rounds, they were beaten and climbed back to the camp. A group of soldiers were sent to the camp to arrest the gang and take them to Xie Ling yamen.
Gao Xie was taken to the court for interrogation. The man headed by Gao claimed to be a Beijinger and a businessman. When Gao Xie saw it, the men came to the lobby carelessly, and the chief told them to kneel down. Not only did they not kneel, but they also scolded Gigi. This time, I was really angry. Holding a box, he shouted, "Bold gangster! You sold Changbai ginseng privately, violated the national law, and beat the soldiers on duty, and you came to the lobby so frantically. Come on ... "He said, pulled out the sign and ordered the execution. Mr. Lao Han hurried forward and whispered, "Wait a minute, my Lord. I think this group of people is unusual, and the people headed by him are even more unusual. He is by no means an idle man, and I'm afraid he has some origins. However, selling ginseng without permission is indeed prohibited by national laws. In my opinion, it is better to send people and goods to Shengjing and let them go up there. " After listening to Gao Yi, Xie Dao felt reasonable. The next day, they tied up the gang and sent Mr. Lao Han to lead a group of people, including people and goods, to Shengjing.
When I arrived in Shengjing, General Shengjing saw it, but it was amazing. He quickly untied the rope for the leader and personally sent them to the palace to settle down, so that they could be entertained. Mr. Lao Han came back and said to Gao, "Alas, you have made a big disaster. Why take people away without asking? Do you know who they are? Headed by today's Prince Li Hong! " Hearing this, the leaders of the High Association broke out in a cold sweat and didn't catch his breath for a long time.
When the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he became Emperor Qianlong. Now, with such a gold medal, Gao Xieling is running away. Mr. Lao Han immediately came up with ideas and countermeasures for the High Association. All the big things and small feelings that came to mind, how to deal with them and how to answer them, were carefully thought out one by one, the words were compiled, one by one, and the questions and answers were tried several times. Then I packed my things and went straight to Beijing.
As soon as he arrived in Beijing, he went to the temple to visit the emperor.
When Gan Long saw Gao Xieling, he really asked, "Gao Xun, do you still recognize me?" I am the shopkeeper Gao that you arrested in those days, haha … "Gao repeatedly kowtowed:" I am guilty, I am guilty, this should be said to you! " Gan Long said, "What crime have you committed? I should be guilty, right? ！” Gao xie a listen to, understand that this is the emperor's sarcasm. It's no use being afraid now, he thought, so he has to throw caution to the wind. It's a blessing, not a curse, but a curse. Keep him alive. So he put his heart on the line and said, "please forgive me for telling the truth: ginseng is a tribute and is not allowed to be sold privately." Changbai Mountain is the birthplace of my Qing Dynasty. The imperial edict of the ancestor emperor was designated as a forbidden area. Hunting, herb gathering and ginseng digging are not allowed in the mountains. The saints went into the mountains to dig ginseng, which violated the ancestral teachings and sold it in the collection, violating the national law. This is indeed guilty, and it is worse. Don't you think so, my Lord? " Gan Long was asked by him and was speechless. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "But I am the emperor." "No, your Majesty was not enthroned at that time." "Although I am not enthroned, I am also a prince." "No, you are a' high shopkeeper'." Hearing Long Yan's anger, Ganlong said, "Bold! Gao Xun, how dare you be so presumptuous? You are dead, understand? " He said to Gao, "You told me to die, but I dare not. However, death must be understood. Please let the slave explain what he said and then execute me. " "Go ahead! Gao said: "As the saying goes,' a monarch commits the same crime as the people'. What's more, the family was a' high shopkeeper' who signed up for business at that time. How do I know it's the crown prince? Don't blame if you don't know. What's wrong with slaves? Besides, if I don't follow the teachings of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, who will? A slave is a court official, and it is dereliction of duty to ignore the training law and disobey it. If you are loyal to your duties and take charge of illegal training, but you are accused, who will dare to take charge of crimes in the future! "
After hearing these words, Qianlong nodded repeatedly and really liked this honest and bold high association. He said, "Gao Xun, you are absolutely right. I won't mention that and I won't blame you. " Hearing this, Gao Yi, led by Xie, hurriedly kowtowed to give thanks.
But Gan Long asked again, "Gao Xun, I still want to ask you, why did you set the camp of the navy division 80 miles away from Lushunkou?" Thinking of Mr. Old Man's instructions when he came to Beijing, he said, "Please listen to me. The terrain there is excellent. " So, Gao Xun explained the terrain of the Navy Camp to the emperor in detail, and then said, "I consulted the old gentleman who is knowledgeable and knows Feng Shui. After he pointed out, it is still a rare place for geomantic omen. My original title of the Qing Dynasty was' Houjin'. However, there is a hidden word "fire" in the DPRK, which means that Zhu is red, Ming is bright, "fire" is red and bright, and "fire" can overcome "gold". So I only changed the title to "Man" at first, and the word "Man" has the word "water", and "water" can defeat "fire". I only destroyed the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty. This is completely in line with the "five elements" theory. I camped there according to the "Five Elements". There are two dragons playing pearls in Huoshiling in the north, Erlong Mountain in the east, Longan Spring at the foot of the mountain, Panlong Mountain in the west and Longhe River in the south. Dragons are everywhere. Dragons can get water. I was born in the Qing Dynasty, and the word "water" is good for the navy. That's why I camped there. Holy, do you think it should be? "
Qianlong had always believed in "five elements of geomantic omen", but now when he heard Gao speak clearly and methodically, he quickly said, "Should, should. What a smart person, complaining that I was wrong about you. " Hearing this, Gao Yi, led by Xie, hurriedly kowtowed to give thanks.
Ganlong was a hungry emperor. Seeing that Gao Xun was an honest official, loyal to his duties and clever, he said happily, "I think it's really rare for you to come to the temple to answer questions impartially and diligently. To this end, I will give you a promotion and a knighthood. Go back to your original post and stand by. " Gao quickly kowtowed to give thanks.
This lawsuit that shocked the emperor was over. Soon after gao xie was brought back to the Navy Camp, Emperor Qianlong was promoted to an official position and urged him to take office.
On the day of Gao's departure, the officers and men of the Navy Battalion lined up to see him off, and the people in the four townships also helped the old and took care of the young, filling the streets. Riding high on a burly horse, I frequently bid farewell to people. There was a shout in the crowd. Gao is also very moved. He quickly jumped off the horse, said goodbye to everyone as he walked, and walked a mile or two before he got on the horse and shed tears.
Gao Xun's life is really extraordinary. Until 20 10, many people still remember his feat in Lushun. In the Cultural Revolution that has passed for more than 30 years, there is a saying that "I am willing to cut clothes and dare to dismount the emperor". This word probably means that if I expect to do great things, I am willing to give up my life, mainly referring to those who are not afraid of power and dare to fight evil forces. Gao Xun, the leader of the Naval Camp Association, is such an incorruptible official. In order to enforce the law, he even dared to arrest the emperor. What else is he afraid to do?
Gao Xun, a native of Shanhaiguan, joined the Qing army in his early years. After years of hard work in the Qing army, he finally became an officer in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and in the Yongzheng period (A.D. 1723), he became the deputy commander of the Navy Battalion under the jurisdiction of the Deputy Commander of General Shengjing Jinzhou. During his tenure, Gao Xun made great efforts to rectify military discipline, and dared to write to General Shengjing to safeguard the legitimacy of Han soldiers in view of the ethnic discrimination policy in the army at that time. He attached great importance to the interests of the local people and became an honest official praised by the people. He was recorded in the history of Dalian, not because of these trivial matters, but because of the disaster of Tian Zi No.1, which caused an uproar in Fengtian at that time, especially in the jurisdiction of the deputy capital yamen in Jinzhou.
The location of the Navy Camp was established during the reign of Kangxi, and the 1200 barracks were built in the wild at that time. In the process of construction, he offended one of his assistants, who was confident that he had a deep foundation and refused to accept Gao Xun's criticism. He threatened to sue Gao Xun for corruption, saying that he had misappropriated the money for building the barracks, so that the roof of the barracks had to be built with thatch. Deputy commander-in-chief of Jinzhou sent someone to investigate this matter, and they were serious. Gao Xun confidently replied that people here live in straw houses, which are warm in winter and cool in summer, and there are no brick kilns nearby. Building kilns costs a lot of money and will cause people's complaints. Building a straw house can avoid these troubles and save a lot of money.
The investigation officials carefully inspected the camp, conducted a large number of investigations among officers and soldiers and the people, and carefully examined the construction funds and accounts. Upon inquiry, the construction capital expenditure is reasonable, the accounts are clear, and the inventory of silver is completely consistent with the accounts. Facts have proved that Gao Xun was thrifty everywhere, without spending a penny, and saved a lot of money for the imperial court. The boss was very satisfied and wrote him a great contribution.
The Navy Battalion under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou Deputy Governor Yamen not only trained navy officers to patrol the sea and fight pirates, but also organized officers and men to ban all kinds of prohibited items according to the Qing law. With the gradual development of Navy Camp into a town with concentrated businessmen and prosperous economic activities in southern Liaoning, some vendors selling prohibited items are often arrested and prosecuted. Gao Xun strictly enforces the law and is not selfish. He never imagined that he was in big trouble in the process of strict law enforcement. Qing Yongzheng 18. In those days, the market in Shuishiying Street was very busy, and several foreign businessmen were selling ginseng openly there. Ginseng is an advanced tonic. At that time, according to the laws of the Qing dynasty, ginseng was bought and sold by the state and was not allowed to be bought and sold privately in the market. Because the local people in the Navy Camp were very familiar with the national regulations under the education of Gao Xun, they quickly reported this situation to the yamen in Xie Ling. Gao Xun heard that the situation was serious and went to arrest it. When they arrived at the market, the stranger selling ginseng turned a blind eye to the arrival of the officers and men. When the officers and men came forward to ask, they rushed to fight with the officers and men. Although the officers and men are well-trained on weekdays, they meet these strangers with high martial arts. They didn't listen to the questions, and beat the officers and men rolling and crawling, and they were all black and blue. Fortunately, a group of officers and men nearby came to help and finally took them to Xie Ling yamen. Those foreigners along the way.
Gao immediately went to the court to ask questions. He asked those people for a long time, and they were always justified. First, a Beijing dialect speaker finally spoke. He claims to be from Beijing and his surname is Gao. Ask them what they did. They called themselves businessmen and were condemned in court. They turned a blind eye, swaggered in court, glared and died in class. They knelt down to answer Xie Ling's questions. Not only did they not. Since Gao Xun became an official, he hasn't met such a person who doesn't understand the rules of officialdom. He was very angry and shouted, "Bold gangsters, you dare to sell ginseng in Changbai Mountain, beat your officials, break the laws of Qing Dynasty, and despise judges. Sin deserves to be said to die. Come on, take them down ... "
At this moment, the military adviser who stood by and observed came to pull Gao Xun's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Please wait a moment, my Lord. I think these boys are unusual. The boy headed by them is outstanding. He must have a background. I'm afraid selling ginseng privately is a violation of Dafa. In my opinion, it is better to take them to the general office of Fengjing Shengjing and let them handle it themselves. " Gao Xun felt that the strategist had a point. He has been in the army for many years and knows the darkness of officialdom. Once he punished the senior officials, the consequences were really hard to clean up. Although Gao Xun was a civilian, he saw many things in officialdom because he joined the Qing army. His actions are really helpless. In reality, many senior officials in the imperial court did not hesitate to travel incognito, but the lower officials refused to admit it. Instead, I suffered a lot. It is reasonable for him to push these people to General Shengjing.
When Gao Xun's men took the bound prisoners to General Shengjing's yamen in Fengtian, he saw General Shengjing rushing down from the class and ordered people to untie the prisoners' ropes. The general himself untied the rope he was holding, and he stayed with him. This scene was seen by officers and men sent by the naval battalion. They were taken aback and knew that the gang headed by Gao Xie was not ordinary people. Fortunately, the tall man didn't treat them well, and General Shengjing respectfully took a group of prisoners. The officers and men of the navy division battalion did not dare to ask the wise men, so they told Gao Xun what they had seen and heard in Fengtian. Gao Xun listened to the report of the officers and men who came back from Mukden. He knew that even if they were escorted to Mukden, it would cause great disaster. Since then, he has been waiting for his boss to investigate every day.
In the autumn of the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, the emperor died. At that time, the 23-year-old Crown Prince Li Hong ascended the throne and changed his title to the first year of Qianlong. When the news reached the naval camp, Gao Xun was frightened. As he fidgeted every day, an imperial edict came and Gao Xun was immediately called into Beijing. Gao Xun then understood that the imperial edict came from Beijing and asked me to go to Beijing as a little assistant. This matter may be related to smuggling.
At that time, contraband was smuggled and sold every day in the navy camp. Gao Xun enforced the law impartially and dealt with it severely according to the laws of Qing Dynasty. As a military and political official, it is his duty to deal with such cases. Therefore, it is natural to prohibit the sale of ginseng, which is completely correct and not wrong. After the criminal arrived, he was only detained for one night and brought to Fengtian. Because I think that these people may not be taunted, in order to avoid trouble, I still give them preferential treatment in life. As for the official social atmosphere of killing, there is no way but to deal with it by yourself. It was in this mood that Gao Xun crustily skin of head went to Beijing. As soon as Gao Xun arrived in Beijing, he hurried to the imperial court to see the emperor. In the hall, the emperor Qianlong saw him at a glance, and really saw Gao Xun. Gao Xun thought that the ginseng dealer he arrested was really the Qianlong emperor of the current dynasty, but this time he was dead. He knelt there and clapped his hands again and again: "Slave crime should be said to be ten thousand deaths ... Slave crime should be said to be ten thousand deaths ...".
Qianlong smilingly asked Gao Xun, "What crime have you committed? I'm the guilty one. I am afraid I am the guilty one. " Gao Xun was frightened when he heard these words. He thought that Emperor Qianlong was obviously satirizing himself. It's a death anyway. I might as well tell the emperor what I think, and I will die ... So he put his heart on the line and said firmly, "Sorry, I bluntly said that Changbai Mountain ginseng is a tribute of the court and a contraband of the country. Ordinary people who buy and sell privately will be beheaded. Changbai Mountain is the birthplace of my Qing Dynasty. "
Hearing this, Qianlong kept smiling and approving. He tried to chime in to explore Gao Xun's reaction. "But I am the emperor ..." The emperor was not enthroned at that time. According to the criminal law of the Qing Dynasty, he should be guilty of the same crime as the common people ... "But I am the crown prince ..." The emperor kept saying that his surname was Gao, but he did not announce the identity of the Crown Prince. You're dying, you know? "
Gao Xun said fearlessly, "If you let me die, I have to die, but let me die. Why did you sentence me to death? Besides, the crown prince took the lead in not observing the teachings of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty. Who will abide by it? As court officials, slaves who turn a blind eye to illegal crimes are criminal acts. He is loyal to his duties and boldly fights against illegal and criminal acts, but he is guilty. Who will maintain the laws and regulations of the country in the future? Emperor Qianlong quietly listened to Gao Xun's "bold recitation" and was very happy. He secretly praised in his heart. Nowadays, there are few loyal officials like Gao Xun in the imperial court. He was determined to promote him well so that good people would not suffer, so the emperor said to Gao Xun, "How many sons do you have? What do they do at home? " Gao Xun didn't know the emperor's intentions. He mistakenly thought that the court would hack his family to death. He has three sons. What if the court ordered the destruction of nine families this time? He told Gan Long that his family has two sons, and now they are farming at home. ...
Emperor Qianlong said earnestly, "I was wrong about you. I think you enforce the law impartially and be loyal to the court. I want to reward you well. Go back and wait. "
Shortly after Gao Xun returned to the Navy Camp, the imperial court issued an imperial decree, which promoted Gao Xun's official position and sealed the official positions of his two sons, but his third son was not reused because he did not report it.
On the day Gao Xun left office, people and officials greeted him on both sides of the street. People couldn't bear to part with him and sent him three miles away. Since then, this anecdote about Gao Xun's capture of the emperor has been handed down.
Being an official has been clean since ancient times. In Lushun in the Qing Dynasty, the barracks of the navy battalion could not be said to be so innocent. All the officials obey their superiors, and they are obedient to Nuo Nuo. Never dare to defend yourself in front of the boss, but do everything possible to flatter you. To keep that black hat, only by protecting it well can we have a "great cause", "three years to clear the magistrate, fifteen snowflakes and silver" Gao Xun's behavior is that he met the enlightened monarch of China and the ruler of Kanggan prosperous time. If he meets someone else, even if he has 100, it's not enough to cut. The people look forward to governing local officials. Those who take bribes and bend the law will die because of their evil deeds. This is the conclusion of several generations. Gao Xun left us at will. His spirit and actions are still remembered by Lushun people. The state needs to enforce the law impartially and the society needs a clean government.
