What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Ninggu Pagoda, meaning "six" in Manchu, is located in the ancient city village of Changting Town, Hailin, Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, and was the seat and residence of the Qing Dynasty General Ningguta. Because Ninggu Pagoda is on the northeast border, frozen all year round and has a harsh environment, it became a place of exile outside the Qing Dynasty.
Ninggu Pagoda was an important military town in the northeast frontier region of the Qing Dynasty, with two cities, old and new, 25 kilometers apart. The old city is located on the south bank of the Hailang River, a tributary of the Songhua River, and kangxi moved to build a new city in five years. Ninggu Pagoda was an important base for providing the Eight Banners to the imperial court and delivering materials to the Shubian troops, and it was also the transfer point for the tributes and gifts of various ethnic groups in the northeast to the imperial court from the end of the seventeenth century to the beginning of the eighteenth century, which was on a par with Shengjing.
In the tenth year of Shunzhi, the Qing Dynasty set up the Town Guard of Ang Bang Zhangjing in Ninggu Pagoda, and in the first year of the Kangxi Dynasty, it was changed to the General Town Guard. General Ningguta was the highest commander of the Jilin garrison in the early Qing Dynasty, in charge of the military and civilian affairs of the garrison flag camp and the locality. There are two deputy governors, ten co-leaders, and thirty-one assistants. In the fifteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, he moved to Jilin and was called the General of Jilin Province, and Ningguta was reassigned as the deputy capital unifier. The famous anti-Russian general Bahai was the first general of Ninguta.
According to the "Great Qing Dynasty Unification Chronicle", its jurisdiction is "east of the sea, west of the border wall, south of the White Mountains, north of the Black Water", that is, east of the sea of more than 3,000 miles, referring to the Sea of Okhotsk in the north, south to the Sea of Japan; west to the Wicker side of more than 590 miles, to the Kaiyuan boundary of Shengjing Weiyuan Fort; south to the Changbai Mountains South Tumen River, Yalu River more than 1,300 miles, bordering Korea; north over the Heilongjiang River to the Waixing'an Mountains. After the Kangxi Dynasty carved out the Heilongjiang General's jurisdiction in the 22nd year, the scope of the Ningguta General's jurisdiction was greatly reduced.
In Qing Dynasty film and television dramas, there are often lines "Sent to Ninggu Pagoda, never allowed to enter the customs", which refers to entering the mountain customs. The "Great Qing Laws" promulgated in the early Qianlong period stipulate that "those who are robbers are exempt from death, those who rob several families to stop the first family, and those who confess the first theft to be taken immediately... Criminals sent to Ninguta are generally given a period of 10 years, and then depending on the circumstances, they are allowed to return to their places of origin, and if sentenced to indefinite imprisonment, they will never be allowed to enter the customs unless specially approved by the emperor.
The eight-flag system "unifies the army with the flag and the people with the flag", ploughing the fields and hunting in peacetime, and wearing armor in wartime. According to the status of status, it is divided into three types: Aha, Phi Jia and Qi Ding. Aha is a slave, mostly Han and Korean; the Phi Jia people are descending people, ethnically different, and their status is higher than Aha; Anding is a Jurchen. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Phi Jia people guarded the frontier, so the imperial court would often assign prisoners or their families to them as slaves to stabilize the hearts and minds of the army. Later, there were fewer people, and the armored people referred to the soldiers on the side.
Among the people exiled in History in Ninggu Pagoda were Zheng Zhilong, the father of the famous anti-Qing general Zheng Chenggong, the family of the scholar Jin Shengsi, the famous poet Wu Zhaoqian, the Buddhist scholar Han Ke, the family of the thinker Lu Liuliang, and so on. Among them, Wu Zhaoqian exiled Ningguta for 23 years and wrote a poem: Dan Qizhao worships the light car, and the Qianli Xiong Domain builds teeth alone. The common way of Fu Bo can promise the country, should know that the horse is not home. The Stargate is silent during the day, and the snow and sea breeze are clear. The one-armed autumn eagle flew out and commanded ten thousand horses to hunt Pingsha.
After the displaced people came to Ninguta, they spread advanced farming techniques, proposed the establishment of a fur ginseng mutual market trade venue, and opened a "reading grass hall" to teach and educate people voluntarily. General Bahai also asked Yang Yue to teach sinology to his two sons, and after being inspired, he set up the first official school in Ningguta, Longcheng Academy. In medicine, Lü Liuliang's grandson Lü Yi was also good at medicine, saving countless lives and changing the backward medical environment in the local area, and he was also appointed as the medical officer of the Ninguta Shu Institute.
