History of Hanwang Mountain in Wangcang

To the north of Wangcang, at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, there is a mountain full of pythons and no one around, named Hanwang Mountain. There is a touching tragic story of the struggle between the peasant uprising leaders and officers and men in Hanwang Mountain area.

I don't know which dynasty and year it was, but there was no rain and no harvest in Hanzhong area of Shaanxi Province for a long time. The government sends people to urge food reimbursement every day, just like a reminder. There is a young man named Wang on the edge of the city. He is seven feet tall, his waist is like a yellow bucket, his strength is incomparable, and he walks like a fly. Seeing this injustice, he led the hungry people to resist taxes, kill officials, eat big families and fight for wealth. Poor boys from all over the country followed him and snowballed. Moving around, like nobody's business, occupied many cities. Everyone elected him as the leader of the rebel army, and because of the Hanzhong rebellion, he was called "Hanwang".

When the Hanzhong rebellion reached the capital, the emperor ordered the state capitals to conduct a large-scale "encirclement and suppression". Hanwang, with his pregnant wife, fought a battle and retreated to Wangcangba in northern Sichuan.

The rebels were stationed on the banks of Songxi River (now Donghe River) in Wangcangba, and fought with loyalists every day. Hanwang's wife had a miscarriage because of the long March.

One day, a volunteer soldier brought a bowl of delicious chicken to Hanwangying. Hanwang recovered from the shock and asked, "Where did you get the chicken?" Bing Yi said, "What is caught in the village should be nursed back to health." Hanwang shouted, "What kind of rebel army did you become when you harassed the people during the Boxer period?" Ordered to change the security guard and send someone to pay for the chicken. As soon as this story spread, people from far and near praised the rebels for their strict military discipline and no offense in autumn, and named the place where Hanwang's wife miscarried as "the wife is hard to blame."

One night, after midnight, Hanwang was discussing the transfer with his wife. Suddenly, the flames were blazing and shouts were everywhere. It turned out that loyalists learned that Hanwang's wife had miscarried, took the opportunity to attack at night and burned the military camp. Hanwang genial smile that, busy to help his wife on the horse, with the rebel army, desperately deus ex, overnight along the Song Xishui fled.

Hanwang wandered alone by the Songxi River, looking at the green hills and rolling rivers. Looking back at the tragic situation of his defeated soldiers and his wife, he couldn't help but draw his sword and sigh: "Where to camp today?"

At this time, there was a faint sound of hooves in the distance. Hanwang looked up and saw the winding part of the mountain road, dusty and covered the sky. He expects the officers and men to catch up again. He used his quick wits and ordered the soldiers to take off their armor, shirts and hide their broadswords and spears. They all dressed up as "second brother", leaning on crutches and singing folk songs:

Carry the second brother, carry the second brother, which wow asked your brother-in-law to carry so much ... talking and laughing.

"Hey, Brother Bei, where are you from?" A loyal minister stopped with a sword in his hand and asked.

"Unload the salt from Bazhong." Hanwang stepped forward, leaned on his back clip and answered unhurriedly.

"A group of hooligans, which direction? To be honest, there are many rewards. " The official army shook the knife: "If you lie, the knife will not recognize people!"

"Sir, dare not, dare not!" Hanwang pointed to the river and said, "I saw a group of people in armor drifting across the river ..."

The loyalist saw the shirt floating on the river, and the armor was lost by the river. With a bang, they turned around and jumped over the river like a hungry dog clutching shit. ...

Later generations called Hanwang's ingenious escape place here "unloading armor".

Hanwang got rid of the pursuer by trickery and stopped at the foot of a remote mountain to have a rest. He carefully counted the troops, tens of thousands of rebels, from Hanzhong to northern Sichuan, and now there are only more than 50 people left. Memories come to mind: Hanzhong folks rushed to send their children to join the army. Now, my brother died in a foreign land, how dare he meet his elders in Hanzhong! Thought of here, ashamed. I can't help but sigh: "I'm going to die!" His wife saw him crying and sobbed, "I dragged you to this point."

The soldiers knelt down together and said, "We failed to protect our lady, and we were defeated. Please ask Hanwang to surrender. "

Hanwang lifted the soldier up, wiped his tears and said, "Don't blame him any more! Winning or losing is a common occurrence in military strategists. Now, we have to retreat to the mountains, wait for our wife to get better, wait for our brothers to recover from fatigue, and then recruit. Why worry about big things! "

Seeing Hanwang's ambition to revive the great cause, his wife bowed deeply: "Hanwang, the heavy responsibility lies on his shoulders, and his ambition is not rewarded." Please take care! " She pondered for a while and pointed her slender hand forward: "Hanwang, look ahead ..." Hanwang suspected that he was chasing the pursuer, so he simply turned to wait and see. My wife was afraid of being implicated in Hanwang, and she died by surprise, and her blood splashed on rocks. Later, the locals named this place "Divorce Rock".

Hanwang buried his dead wife and went on his way with his soldiers. The spies of the officers and men found their trail, sent soldiers to chase them, attacked them from front to back, surrounded them by the river, and killed many soldiers. Hanwang's mount was shot down to the ground, and the arrows were heard. He dismounted and crawled forward to the river. No way back, he sighed:' Today is a dead end! Suddenly, a fairy deer flew from the mountain, looked at Hanwang Cleisthenes and shouted as if to say, "Hanwang, get on my horse and run for your life." Then he knelt on the ground, nodded and wagged his tail meekly. Hanwang willy-nilly, rolled over and rode on the fairy deer, clutching the antlers with both hands. Fairy deer kicked her feet, took off, stepped on colorful clouds and flew across the wide river like lightning to escape. From then on, people called the place where Lu Xian helped Hanwang get out of danger "Lu Du".

Hanwang worshipped the fairy deer, walked alone for nine days in Kuya, and came to Tanziba.

The mountain breeze blows gently, and Hanwang, who has been tired for several days, feels cold and hungry. However, in the big ravine, there is no one in a hundred miles, where can I find food? Finally, I saw a thatched cottage halfway up the mountain, so I strode closer and knocked on the gate. Nobody said anything, so I opened the door and went in. I saw an old woman lying on the bed and said, "Old mother, please give me something to eat!" " The old woman let out a cry: "Alas, in the year of war, the government troops fought Hanwang, and everyone ran away." My old bones is starving too. What can I eat? Without further ado, "Hanwang said yes, turned and left. Before going out, I shook my body and fainted to the ground with a bang. The old woman got out of bed and looked at him carefully for a while. When she saw that he was an honest passerby, she lifted him up sadly and said, "To tell you the truth, I still have half a liter of peas. If you don't mind, take it to satisfy your hunger. " Hanwang took the pocket and thanked him again and again. Go out and pick up a crock, put the peas in the crock, then chew it, it's delicious, and eat it while walking. After a few steps, I thought about it: what should I do if my old mother starved to death without eating? He turned to bless the old man: "The world is not ripe, and the jar is cooked first. "From now on, the crops in Silkworm Dam are always 20 or 20 days earlier than those in nearby places, and that's when it started.

Hanwang eats peas, his legs are as hard as iron, his body is strong, and his determination to recapture the rebels is even greater. He walked on. I don't know how long it took, but he saw a high mountain and dense forest, and didn't see the sky. He thought, well, here we stand.

Hanwang stretched himself and sat down to catch his breath. Touching my arm, I was suddenly surprised to find that Yin Da had disappeared (later generations called this place Bayin). How can I be king without the national seal? On second thought, Yin Da is not in Hanwang! Go forward, look back, and see if there is anything missing. I found that the jade belt was missing (later people called this place "Luoquanyan") and thought, forget it. After going up the mountain, I will reopen the kitchen and start a new business.

Hanwang climbed to the mountain and saw, hey, what a high mountain! You can use your hands, reach for the sky. There are also two large stone pillars on the hillside, which rise like flagpoles. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid there is no place to hang the flag?" Take off your clothes at once and hang it on a tall stone pillar (later called "Tieqi Mountain"). He looked at the "flag" fluttering in the wind, clapped his hands and shouted: "My flag of Hanwang has been erected again!"

Hanwang lives in this deep forest and is worried that there is no food. Feel your pocket for peas. After a stir, only three peas fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, they grow into green bean sprouts. In a blink of an eye, they produced golden beans from Huang Cancan, the industrious Hanwang, who sowed in the morning and harvested at night. He intends to go down the mountain to recruit soldiers.

Loyalists' ears are alert. Knowing that Hanwang had fled to the deep mountains and wanted to make a comeback, he mobilized an army to "encircle" the mountains. The troops were as dense as ants and surrounded the mountains. Strangely, as soon as the loyalist team went up the mountain, the Ye Er on the tree fell down in succession, turning into countless bugs, sticking to it, all scared out of their wits.

A leader of the loyalist panicked, drew his sword and fought his way out, rushed up the mountain and fought Hanwang with his bare hands. They fought hundreds of rounds from mountain to mountain, and from former mountain to back mountain. Hanwang is exhausted and unable to support. He was captured alive. At this time, with a bang, a big clock flew from Hanzhong, completely covering the loyalist's head and suffocating under it. Up to now, the big shovel on the mountain is still there.

Later, because of the high mountains and dangerous roads, it was sparsely populated and the rebels could not be recruited. Hanwang's ambition has not been realized, and he regrets for life and sleeps in the mountains. People miss this brave, upright and unyielding peasant uprising hero very much. They built a temple on the mountain to commemorate it and named it "Hanwang Mountain". Reprinted from Guangyuan blog
