Is it the story of Shengjing Road that the "general" was originally stationed in the "Gold and Silver Treasury"?

..Shengjing General Mansion

When it comes to Shengjing Road, almost everyone in Shenyang does not know it. It is located on the south side of Shenyang Road in Shenhe District, starting from Chaoyang Street in the east and To Zhengyang Street. Shengjing Road existed as early as when Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to "Qing", and it is now more than 370 years old. Since this place has always been an important official road from the early Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China, ordinary people rarely travel here.

..Shengjing General Mansion Archway

Shengjing Road was a gold alley in the early Qing Dynasty. Since there was a bank there at that time, Hence the name "Jinyinku Hutong". This was once the royal treasury of Huang Taiji, and all the gold, silver, jade, and jewelry of the royal family were stored here. According to "Tongzhi of Shengjing", "there are eighteen rooms in the bank", but its ruins have long since disappeared. Since this place is a major treasure trove of royal gold, it is naturally heavily guarded every day. Civilians are never allowed to get even half a step closer, otherwise they will be killed.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Shenyang became an "important town with the capital". The former Jinyinku Hutong also expanded in size and became the seat of General Shengjing's Mansion, which was in charge of the three northeastern provinces. In order to show the unique status of the General's Mansion, two magnificent carved east and west gate archways were erected at the east and west intersections of the Hutong. Their shape is similar to the Wende Square and Wugong Square of the Shenyang Forbidden City today, but the scale is slightly smaller.

Since then, the Qing court has been increasingly corrupt and declining. Corrupt officials have been plundering the people's wealth. In addition, the emperor's many eastward tours have increased the burden on the people, resulting in people's livelihood being destitute and suffering everywhere. As a result, a peasant uprising broke out in Jinyinku Hutong. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, peasant rebels rose up in Liao and Jilin, among which the one headed by Ma Guoliang (nicknamed "Ma Fool") was the most famous. The slogan "Reverse the Qing court, kill Enhe (then General Shengjing), kill the rich and help the poor" became a magic weapon to unite people and expand the ranks of the uprising. The scale of the "Ma Fool" rebels quickly expanded from the initial few hundred to thousands. . The fire of uprising quickly spread to the Shengjing General's Mansion.

One day, Enhe, who was then General Shengjing, gathered the ministers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other royal palaces to the General's Mansion to have fun, and the heavy troops in the city were also transferred to the General's Mansion for garrison. Just as they were drinking, singing and dancing, Xu Zhanyi, the capable general of "Ma Fool", took advantage of the situation and smashed the Ministry of Punishment Prison and the County Prison, released all the prisoners detained by the imperial court, and burned down the Chengde County Government Office. When Enhe looked at the flames of the Ministry of Punishment Prison in the general's mansion, he broke into a cold sweat and immediately called in reinforcements to suppress the rebels. But when reinforcements arrived, the clever rebels quietly retreated...

With the decline of the Qing court, the Shengjing General's Mansion in Jinyinku Hutong The power of the Ming Dynasty was also emptied and changed into the Governor's Palace of Fengtian. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, according to the "Shenyang County Chronicle", "the general's administrative office in Zhen'an was stationed in Jinyinku Hutong". There is also the Fengtian Xun Envoy's Office on the east side of the administrative office. Zhang Xiluan, Xu Shiying, Xu Shichang, etc. all served as governors here. Because there were many administrative offices stationed here, Jinyinku Hutong was renamed "Military Administration Street".

In the early years of the Republic of China, Jundu Street had become the seat of the Fengtian Provincial Office, and because of its unique status as an "official street", it became the place where the "Sixty" Movement took place. In 1925, the British and Japanese imperialists caused the appalling "May 30" massacre in Shanghai. The news reached Fengtian Queen. On the morning of June 10 of the same year, under the organization of the Fengtian underground party of the Communist Party of China, students from various schools in Shencheng They entered the city from the Small South Gate, the Big North Gate and other places to Military Administration Street, and gathered in front of the Provincial Office. The students held high a large slogan "Avenge the dead compatriots", held up small flags, raised their arms and shouted "Avenge the dead compatriots!" and "Down with Japanese and British imperialism", and petitioned the Fengtian Provincial Office.

Suddenly, chaos broke out in the Provincial Office. Wang Yongjiang, the then governor, quickly dispatched armed military police to suppress the protests, which further aroused the students' resentment. Due to the situation at that time, Wang Yongjiang did not dare to show up at first. He asked Wang Mingyu, the director of the Fengtian Provincial Government Affairs Department, and Qi Gongliang, the director of the Education Department, to come forward to lobby, but they were fired by the students. Subsequently, the military police commander Chen Xingya also went into battle shirtless and threatened at the top of his lungs, but to no avail. Finally, Wang Yongjiang reluctantly accepted most of the conditions proposed by the students, and the anti-imperialist struggle was declared victorious.

Of course, for more than 370 years, the most important building on Shengjing Road was the Governor's Palace of the Three Eastern Provinces located at No. 28. This building, We have welcomed batches of “masters” one after another. We can learn more about the detailed history of this building from the information provided by relevant departments: it was built in the early Qing Dynasty and became the capital of Qing Dynasty after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs in 1644. In 1747, it became the Shengjing General's Palace, the highest military and political agency at that time. In 1907, the Shengjing General Yamen (its former site was in the northern half of Zhongchang, Shenyang City, which was the Yamen Department of the former Qing government) was abolished, and the governor-general of the three eastern provinces was established. Provinces were officially established, and the governor-general's office of the three eastern provinces was established. Since 1907, those who have handled official affairs in the Governor's Mansion of the three eastern provinces have been: Xu Shichang, the first governor of the three eastern provinces, Xiliang, the successor governor, and Zhao Erxun, the third governor. In 1914, it was renamed the Administrative Office of General Zhen'an. Zhang Xiluan and Duan Zhigui, then Generals of Zhen'an, both conducted official business here. After that, Zhang Zuolin, who served as General Shengwu and military governor of Fengtian, and Zhang Xueliang, who served as military affairs supervisor of Fengtian and security commander of the three eastern provinces, also conducted official business here. During the puppet Manchukuo period, this place was changed into the Fengtian Provincial Office, which took charge of the government affairs of the three eastern provinces.

In those days, the entire building of the Governor's Mansion of the three eastern provinces faced south. On the avenues at the east and west ends of the Governor's Mansion, there were "East Gate" and "Xi Yuan Gate" "Two majestic archways. There are tall blue brick walls on the east and west sides of the Governor's Mansion. There is a tall facade on the main entrance, and a large semicircular moon gate below. There are brick walls on the second and third floors of the facade. There are exquisite carvings on the eaves and brick eaves. The three-layer brick eaves door face is shaped like clouds, and the moon gate under the door face forms a colorful cloud arching over the moon.

There are wooden sentry boxes guarded by guards on both sides of the gate. After passing through the Moon Gate, there is a screen wall blocking your view. The building in the courtyard is a brick-wood structure, a two-story European-style building with a sloping tile roof and a cloister. There are wing buildings on the east and west sides, with polished bricks facing each other, and corridor eaves in the front. The whole building is in a "concave" shape, with pairs of lions and upper and lower horse stones in front of the door.

In the early years, the Governor's Mansion of the three eastern provinces was a three-entry courtyard, with a main courtyard and two east and west cross-yards, including a gatehouse, office room, reception room, study room, living room, family courtyard, garage, garden, etc. The courtyard at the back was used as the barracks for Zhang Zuolin's cavalry and the barracks for the machine gun guards during the Republic of China (since demolished).

The building of the Governor's Mansion of the Three Eastern Provinces was built at the same time as the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty. It has become one of the oldest and most historically significant buildings in Shenyang. Nowadays, it has lost its prominent status and power. The old, dilapidated, and dilapidated empty house is much quieter, and no one disturbs it anymore.

There is also a little-known secret history on Shengjing Road. In the spring of 1910, twelve-year-old Zhou Enlai and his relatives took a boat to Fengtian (today's Shenyang) to join his uncle. Since Shenyang Dongguan Model Second Class Primary School had not yet been built at that time, Zhou Enlai was temporarily sent to Yingang Academy in Yinzhou (today's Tieling) to study. After half a year, he was transferred to Shenyang Dongguan Model Second Class Primary School. During this period, young Zhou Enlai went to Shenyang Dongguan Model Second Class Primary School every day and often traveled between Shenhe and Dadong. In his spare time, he often went to Kuixing Tower along Xiaohe. In the early 1960s, when Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao inspected work in Shenyang, they used their breaks to visit Shengjing Road, Dongguan Model Second Class Primary School and Kuixing Building along the Xiaohe River to pursue memories of that childhood.

But where did Zhou Enlai live when he was studying in Shenzhou? This has always been a mystery, and there is no record in the books about Zhou Enlai. However, according to relevant expert research: Zhou Enlai lived on Shengjing Road when he was studying in Shenzhou. After Zhou En came to Shenzhou, there was no place to stay in the school, and it was impossible for such a young child to live in a hotel alone, so he had to stay at his uncle's house, and his uncle was at Duzhisi at the east entrance of Shengjing Road ( Today, he works as a clerk in Chaoyang Street, and his residence is also near the Fengtian Provincial Office, that is, Shengjing Road. Therefore, Shengjing Road is not only the "official road" of the past dynasties, but also the former residence of a generation of great men.

Today’s Shengjing Road is much more ordinary, with only rows of shops and buildings, flat asphalt roads and the busy and peaceful lives of modern people. .

Only the long-vacant Governor's Palace of the three eastern provinces and the cornices and antique-style decoration of the shops facing the street still bear witness to its long history.
