313 Give Me Back the Rivers and Mountains
On the 27th day of the first lunar month of the third year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, the fleet of Baiming He had entered the Hangzhou Bend.
All qualified military generals in the seven provinces of Jiangnan have arrived in Hangzhou City. The seven provinces of Jiangnan are: Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Fujian.
In addition to the seven provinces in Jiangnan, Guangdong Metropolitan Division, Sichuan Metropolitan Division, Shaanxi Metropolitan Division, and Shandong Metropolitan Division sent important personnel to come.
Compared to these people, the Nanjing Ministry of War has no identity. All they can do is organize these sacrificial ceremonies. If something goes wrong, people will die. Even if the white-named crane does not kill people, the eunuchs in the East Factory will try their best to cause trouble for them. You must know that for the people in the East Factory, Yue Fei is like their ancestors.
The Yuewang Temple at this time is different from those in later generations.
It covers an area of 390 acres. The size is chosen based on Yue Fei's age, 39 years old. It is divided into three main halls on both sides, as well as ninety-nine small halls.
The bronze statue of Yue Fei in the main hall was immediately placed, and the plaque was just hanging.
On one side of the main hall is the ancient Heroes' Hall, which enshrines patriotic generals of all generations. The only regret of Bai Minghe is that there is no Bai Qi here, because civil officials strongly oppose it. Killing God is the God of Killing. If you have something to do with Bai Minghe, you will definitely put your Bai Qi in.
But Yuewang Temple is not good, this is the Hero Temple.
On the other side, there are two very special portraits in the Ming Heroes Hall, in addition to the founding heroes, there are also two very special portraits.
One is the old British Duke Zhang Fu, who tried to persuade the Northern Expedition to fail and died in the Battle of Tumu Fort. Putting his image here, Bai Minghe won almost 90% of the military generals in one fell swoop, and made the little British Duke Zhang Mao become a loyal person to Bai Minghe.
The other one is still alive, without a statue, only a tablet of immortality.
Yu Qian, the current Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, objected to this matter. It was useless. The Ming Emperor established a white-famous crane in this matter, and there were two reasons. First, Yu Qian defended the capital, which was a great contribution. Second, without Yu Qian, there would be no throne of Zhu Qiyu, so the Ming Emperor Zhu Qiyu allowed this tablet of immortality.
And the statue was also made and kept for Yu Qian.
Yu Qianxin said that his life was worth it. Not to mention setting up a statue after death, it would be a thousand years of honor to bury his bones in Yuewang Temple.
In front of the main gate, stone sheep, stone horse, stone soldiers, and Shi Zhongweng.
The plaque at the main entrance is written by Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty, and the Temple of Zhonglie.
The small halls behind are the small halls of the Yue Family Army, and count the countless heroes of the Yue Family Army.
On the 28th day, the Baiming He had already arrived at Yuewang Temple. Of course, the name of Baiming He was called Yuewang Temple. This was also called it when it was originally built. However, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty wrote the Zhonglie Temple by hand, and the name here is not important. What is important is that the worship of Yuewang is worshipped here.
In the Baiming He and his rank, there are more than twenty second-rank officials alone, and more than one third-rank officials.
"According to legend, there is a thousand-year-old cypress next to Fengbo Pavilion. After Yue King died in Fengbo Pavilion, the tree died. However, it is immortal for four hundred years. These days, it has received some incense every day. The color is getting better and better." Sun Yuanzhen introduced on the side.
But the white-known crane said, "This tree has been around for 120 million years."
Everyone was staring at Bai Minghe. They didn't understand why Bai Minghe was so clear. 100 million or twenty million years?
Bai Minghe knew that the number he said was absolutely correct. This was based on scientific basis in later generations. Bai Minghe was just inspired and reached out to touch the cypress tree and gently said: "Protect it well, you must protect it well! According to legend, this cypress tree is stuck to the blood of the King of Yue, as long as it is protected well, it will be immortal for thousands of years!"
The white-famous cranes in later generations have never seen this cypress with their own eyes, only related pictures.
During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom era of the Qing Dynasty, the original tree was destroyed, which can be said to be a very great regret, so when the white crane saw this cypress with his own eyes, it would definitely cause people to destroy the cypress.
Without further ado, Bai Minghe would not have been said, neither the army nor the people from the Dongchang would have caused people to destroy this tree.
Not to mention the tree that has lived for 120 million years, it has been stuck in the blood of King Yue. Whoever dares to touch this tree will definitely make the Dongchang peel it.
On the 29th day of the first lunar month, the four-day sacrifice begins. The four days are ritual sacrifices, literary sacrifices, martial sacrifices, and civil sacrifices.
The first day of the ceremony was to hold a grand sacrificial activity according to the ancient rituals. After the sacrifice, I hang a plaque, Yu Qian wrote in his hand, and returned me to cursive scripts in the mountains. For these four words, Yu Qian tried to write a thousand times. The last time was Yu Qian was very tired. After dancing the sword in the yard, people entered a state of trance, as if they had seen the iron-blooded years, and they were all made of one stroke.
Then Bai Minghe took off Zhanlu and offered it to the table, and the sword would be placed here for a month.
The ritual sacrifice is Gao Gu's strongest line. Although he has only been here for two days, he has made the ritual ceremony very grand.
The next day, the white-name crane placed a hundred taels of gold in front of the door, whether it was poetry, lyrics, songs, or fu. Only when you got the first name, there was a lottery of 100 taels of gold, and there was only one content written, that was King Yue.
The third day of the martial arts festival is not just a martial arts competition. Bai Minghe asked the 100,000 soldiers to compete with thousands of people as the team, first compete in the formation and then compete in the match. The final victory and defeat were real. In order to compete for the first place, tens of thousands of people were slightly injured, and dozens of people were seriously injured. No one wanted to lose in front of Yuewang Temple.
On the last day, the ban was lifted. Nearly one million people used incense to turn the square garden ten miles into a fog area.
For these four days, Bai Minghe consumed 500,000 stones of food for the soldiers and the people. He consumed 50,000 stones of various meats, 100,000 stags of copper coins, and 100,000 tannes of cloth.
This is not considered incense, but just incense, so I pulled half a boat.
For four consecutive days, Bai Minghe stood alone on the side of the main hall, staring blankly at the statue of King Yue.
No one understands what Baiminghe is doing.
Bai Minghe was thinking that Yue Fei was fighting for protection. So in another era, would Yue Fei fight for the expansion of the Song Dynasty? On this question, Bai Minghe thought about it for four days.
Until the evening of the fourth day, when the governors came here and finally put on incense sticks, Xu Chengzong asked Bai Minghe: "Bai Minghe, what have you learned in the past few days?"
"What era creates what kind of heroes? It's not heroes that creates the times, but the times that creates heroes. I think of the Han and Huo, who fight to defend their families, but also fight to expand their territory. Who can say that they are not heroes? And King Yue was very difficult to protect his home in that era. If you have a chance, I believe King Yue would also go north. It can be said that he regained lost territory, or it can be said that he fought to expand the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty."
This is the first time that Bai Minghe has seriously thought about life.
After hearing what Bai Minghe said, Guangdong Governor Yang Neng said: "Actually, Wu Anjun is also a hero. It is not wrong to be a god of killing, but he killed it. If this governor doesn't necessarily have to do it, you should know that killing prisoners will be scolded for thousands of years. This is not because of your Bai Minghe, but what I said in my heart. How can a general who sacrifices his life for the Qin Dynasty and even does not hesitate to honor and disgrace? Wu Anjun doesn't even want his reputation for the Qin Dynasty. Isn't he a hero?"
Bai Minghe smiled, and fainted after laughing.
I stood here stupidly for four days. Even if I went back to rest at night, I thought like crazy every day, both physical and mentally exhausted, and I felt relieved and fainted.
Stupid?
At least in the eyes of the Ming people, this is a piety. This is the Yuewang Temple, the Loyalty Temple, and the Hero Temple. If you can understand something here, it is given by God. Not only will anyone laugh at the white-famous He fool, but many people will envy it.
The construction of Yuewang Temple and grand sacrifices began to spread to the entire Ming Dynasty from the merchant gang.
No one speaks sarcasticly. Whether it is officials, generals or the people, they all applaud each other. Heroes will always be loved by people.
It was two days after Bai Minghe woke up, and he had already returned to Nanjing. It was not close to Hangzhou to Nanjing, and it took one and a half days to walk on the water.
After Bai Minghe woke up, the first person to appear beside him was Wang Cheng.
"Sir, we live in a little trouble now. Nanjing City is the capital, and it is very prosperous, so it is not easy to find a suitable house, and we have a large population and need it. So the Duke of Wei renovated the three originally closed gardens and let you live in them. There are 200,000 soldiers and horses stationed in these three gardens, and even the barracks are ready-made." Wang Cheng has been waiting for Bai Minghe to wake up in order to tell Bai Minghe this news.
Bai Minghe rubbed his slightly sore neck and was already awake.
"What were these three gardens?"
"There are Xuanwu Lake Forbidden Garden, Gu Shanglin Garden, and Zhongshan Villa. Xuanwu Lake Forbidden Garden was originally a royal garden. The reason given by the Duke of Wei was that it could train naval troops here, so the seal was opened. Gu Shanglin Garden had been 800 years and had many dynasties and was an imperial guard garden. The capital of the Ming Dynasty moved north, and it was idle here, and the 200,000 military camps were here. The last place, Zhongshan Villa, was a forbidden area in the forbidden area." When Wang Cheng mentioned Zhongshan Villa, his tone changed.
Bai Minghe turned over and sat up: "Is that true?"
Bai Minghe remembers that he went to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in later generations, and was in Zhongshan.
Wang Cheng took a few steps back, called two guards in, and opened a map in front of Bai Minghe.
When Bai Minghe looked at the map, he thought to himself that Xu Chengzong was helping him or harming him. The circle marked by the red line was the territory for him. The entire Xuanwu Lake, Zhongshan, and the triangle area between the two places was called the ancient Shanglinyuan. That's not all, there are more than 3,000 hectares of imperial farmland outside Nanjing.
"Sir, the cordon is three miles. That is to say, the actual place is larger than in this map. The place where the adults live now is called Xuanwu Lake Baima Pavilion. Less than three miles south of the south is the location of the Nanjing Imperial Palace. Less than four miles south of the southwest is the six ministries, and ten miles west is the Nanjing Fifth Army Governor's Office and Armory."
The place is a good place, but how much trouble will it be to live here?
Wang Cheng put away the map and took out another box: "Sir, there is another problem. This is a military talisman, which controls the military affairs of the Nanjing Wangjun Governor's Office and the seven provinces south of the Yangtze River. It was originally the Minister of War in Nanjing, and the custody of Wei, Xu Chengzong of Nanjing. There is another matter. His subordinates cut down the head of the eunuch in Nanjing this morning."
