Lingwu Episode 3
1
In the previous episode, "The Ming Dynasty of Ningxia Humanities 72: How important is the lingwu in history to Ningxia? In it, Ah Wei talked about the importance of Lingwu City to Ningxia.
In fact, its importance is more reflected in some of its auxiliary facilities, such as Shigou City, Yanchi City and Dashajing City. They are equivalent to the acropolis of Lingwu and are under the jurisdiction of Lingwu. Historically, they have maintained the safety of Lingwu City, and even more so, the town of Ningxia (Yinchuan). The role they play reflects the importance of lingwu!
"Ningxia is free to cross the river from the city to the south, there are high bridges, large manholes, stone ditches, small salt ponds, and mengcheng five stations. It is bordered by Huanqing in the south, the provincial capital, and the above Beijing Division; the western Tonggujing Lingong, and even Gansu. From time to time, military information was disseminated, military equipment was operated, official documents were delivered, hundreds of millions of people and horses were exchanged, and there was no time for a day. ”
It can be seen from this passage that Lingwu is located on the main road of transportation, surrounded by five subordinate cities, each of which has a post station and a delivery station. Specialized in the transport of postal routes and supplies.

Nowadays, several ancient cities except for the salt ponds have disappeared and become the ruins of the ancient city! But in history, they used to be so glorious and glorious, and beautiful! Their beauty remains in the poet's poems!
Since the caravanserai is the only way for former officials and degraded literati, they will inevitably express their emotions when they stop at the caravanserai! As a result, the scenery around the station became the object of their description and expression!
Then again, there were so many stations during the Ming Dynasty, but the only ones that can leave a lot of poetry are these stations in Ningxia, right?
"In the Sand Well Road" - Feng Qing
The horse's feet lingered in a downward direction, and the sky was full of clouds.
Stone ditch rain over moss raw stone, manhole wind whirlwind grass press sand.
During the period of gratitude, the soldiers and the people forgot their homes.
Chunyang who said poor side, Longmai Qingqing everywhere.
In the seventh year of Daming Zhengde (1512 AD), Feng Qing patrolled Ningxia with the right capital Yushi, and when he passed through the great manhole, it was the height of spring, and in his poem, through "the rain of the stone ditch passed over the moss and the sand, and the wind and grass of the manhole swirled the sand", he showed the officials a picture of the spring with a unique Jiangnan charm.
This beautiful spring scenery makes "soldiers and people forget their homes".
How big is The Great Manhole City? Three hundred steps around the city. It is forty miles south of Lingzhou. Like Weizhouyi, it is also an important transit point for personnel and supplies! Although it is not large, the post station and the delivery station are "one hundred and forty members of the original first-class army, and one member of the hundred household chiefs leads them." "You can see the importance here. The busyness of weekdays can be seen!

Shigou City, twenty miles north of Lingzhou, was originally "the old city of Zhou Di three hundred steps", the same as the Great Shajing City, and later in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, the capital Yushi Wang Xun was expanded to Zhou Erli. The city has become larger, but the number of soldiers has not changed, "the original forehead army of one hundred and thirteen, one member of the hundred household chiefs led it." ”
When King Qingjing of Daming stopped here during his stay in Ningxia, he left a poem:
"Night View of Shigou Yi" - Zhu Li
In the smoke of the mountain siege city, the pavilion is xiaoran to the evening wind.
The red dust under the mountain is not a road, and the stars are from west to east day and night.
The beautiful scenery of a peaceful and relaxing evening depicted in the poem is yearning!
It is worth mentioning that Shigou Yi and the delivery station are not under the jurisdiction of Shigou City, but are "subordinate to Ningxia Town (Yinchuan)" and "two hundred and twelve members of the original Banner Army, and one member of the hundred household chiefs." "It shows that Ningxia Town (Yinchuan) attaches great importance to it,
It is also the first big station in Ningxia Town after leaving the city, and the frequent exchange of materials and personnel is extraordinary. At night, it is a different scene, which is really different!
In addition, There are post stations and delivery stations in Yiningbao, Mengcheng and Yanchi.

Since the "Hongwu Nine Years of Migration to the Five Directions", these stations have played a huge role, they are the link between the Central Plains and Ningxia, and they are messengers to convey the homesickness of shubian soldiers and their families. It can be said that these stations and delivery stations are the lifeline and supply line of Ningxia.
But don't look at the poets' poems so beautifully written, but it is very hard to work in the caravanserai and the delivery house! And the undercurrent is surging!
Because of the "voluminous service, the day is not time to give, the years of fierce desolation, the husband and horse flee", so much work intensity, do not run is strange! Therefore, in the nineteenth year of Jiajing, the capital Yushi Zhai Peng said: "In a few years of terror, and the post is full of hills, and the way is full of thorns." When the police are in a hurry, why should they be heard? ”
These rises and downs of the caravanserai are related to the survival of a place! Even the Ming Dynasty would not have thought of it. The fuse of its demise was actually the first to be lit from the ningxia caravanserai!
From which station did you order it? Who is the person who lit it? Speaking of this, another piece of cloth is so long, and it is slowly introduced later!
It can only be said that Lingwu is really important and magical!
