The Great War is long and straight ditch
Wang Wenbin sorted
Stand high, look far,
Holding a spear and a bamboo shoot,
When you see the Qing soldiers, you will be beaten;
Look at the Qing soldiers you don't pick up,
You have a hookup with the Qing soldiers.
This is a song and ballad handed down by the people of Changzhigou Town, Sizhou, when the Twist army defeated the Qing army.
In February of the eleventh year of Qing Xianfeng, the Twist Army arrived at Changzhigou and told the common people that if the poor wanted to live a good life, they had to beat the rich man and beat the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. This truth soon spread, and the people in the surrounding seventy or eighty miles knew that the Twist Army was good, and the people of the nearby Shangou Wei and Wu Wei all came to join the Twist Army, and the strength of the Twist Army was getting bigger and bigger. Gao Dianwei's common people could not stand the anger of the rich man, so they repeatedly asked the Twist army to send troops to fight Gao Dianwei. Zhu Maolin (known as Mr. Xiao Zhu), the leader of the Twister Army, accepted the request of the people of Gao Dianwei, so he ordered the Twister Army and the manhood in the Changzhi Ditch, beat Gao Dianweizi, and left the women and Taoist families and the old and small, guarding the Weizi at home.
There was a man in Changzhigou named Zhang Jichang, who was a farmer. This man looks like a tiger with a bear's waist and a strong body, so the people in the wei call him "Zhang Dali". Before the Twister Army came, they planted a few acres of land in the rich man's family, and began to dry the land early in the morning and in the dark all year round, and the crops collected were light except for paying the rent of the landlord and the land and mu tax of the official government. Although Zhang Dali had all his strength, he was still cold and hungry all year round.
After the Twist army came, Zhang Dali got the grain, and his heart was very grateful, he was straight-hearted, not idle, not slippery, the people in the polder admired him, invisibly he became the small leader of the polder, what he said, everyone listened, he wanted to do everyone to follow. After Zhu Maolin took people to fight Gao Dianweizi, Zhang Dali led people down the lake to farm during the day, practice martial arts, and at night led people to put on sentries and guard the weizi.
A few days later, Zhang Xueol, the commander of sizhou, heard that most of the people left in Changzhigou were women's Taoist families and old and weak sick lines, and his heart was so happy that he was going to die, and he felt that he could take this good opportunity to beat him by surprise, so he sent his deputy general Song Qing to lead hundreds of Qing soldiers to attack Changzhigou.
Song Qing was afraid of alarming the people of Changzhigou, so he secretly raised soldiers and horses, shrimp did not jump, the water did not move, and when the time came, he sneaked out of Sizhou City.
As the saying goes, "If no one knows, unless he does nothing." Song Qing's dispatch of troops was known to an old man surnamed Zhang. This old man is just a single person doing business in the state, his wife and children live in Changzhigou, and Old Man Zhang often goes home, knowing that the Twister Army is good to the people, and is grateful to the Twister Army from the bottom of his heart. This time, he heard that Song Qing had sent troops to fight the long straight ditch, and he was so anxious that he copied the path home all night to deliver letters.
Just as Zhang Dali was taking people to see Weizi, Old Man Zhang saw that he had told Song Qing about coming to fight Weizi, and Zhang Dali was also very anxious to hear it, so he sent someone to Gao Dianwei to deliver a letter to Mr. Xiao Zhu, while busy looking for people in Weili to discuss.
After a while, several elderly people came, as well as women and Taoist families, including a middle-aged woman named Yao Zhangshi, and his man named Yao Bangshan, and went with Mr. Xiao Zhu to fight Gao Dianweizi. Yao Zhangshi is a man of temperament and is enthusiastic about doing things, and she dares to come forward for things that other women and Taoist families dare not come forward, and whoever has any quarrel and scolding comes to her to say fair things. The women and Taoist families in the polder were willing to listen to her.
Zhang Dali said the matter of Old Man Zhang sending the letter again, asked everyone what to do, some people heard the news, the heart could not help but be a little panicked, the manhood has gone to play Gao Dianwei, the family is only left with the old old, small and small, most of them are women and Taoist families, how can this be obtained!
Yao Zhangshi said indifferently: "Women and Taoist families are also people, and men can fight, and we women do the same."
Zhang Dali then said, "Female Taoist families can fight!" But how to play?"
Yao Zhangshi said, "Now it is forced to go up to Liangshan, and it is no longer possible to fight or take care of it!" I think it is better to look at this, we call the women and Taoist families in the polder to wear manly clothes and hats to fill his family, scare and frighten Song Qing, and strengthen our own courage. ”
Everybody said, "Yes! That's it!"
Suddenly, the women and Taoist families in the polder all put on manly clothes and pressed their hair into their hats, some of them held moso bamboo hammers, some of them held wax poles, and some of them took large tweezers, and they all ran to the polder with all their strength.
There were not enough weapons, and the elderly and teenage children were also busy moving stones to the polder. When the stones were finished, they smashed the sand tanks, large jars, small jars, and grinding plates used for grinding surfaces and transported them to the polder, and at the foot of the polder wall, the cylinder ballast, the grinding block, and the ruler was built to a high height. In addition, a lot of straw was transported, ready to be burned to clear the soldiers.
The night passed, and early the next morning, the Qing soldiers and horses came to the east gate of changzhigou wei, and Song Qing rode on his horse and walked in the middle of the line with great might, and when he saw a densely packed "man" standing on the polder wall, some holding weapons in their hands, some holding stones in their arms, they were surprised. I thought: Where are so many men in the polder? Think about it again, I am a deputy general of the Qing Dynasty, how can I be frightened by these ordinary people? Fight, no matter what, be sure to fight, I'll scare them first.
Song Qing thought of this, his legs clamped the horse's belly, pegasus ran to the front of the polder, coughed a few times first, cleaned up the voice, and shouted to the polder in a big way: "The people in the polder are listening, ben will come to the crusade at the behest of Zhang Fansi, if you are aware of the current affairs, quickly open the door and submit to the Qing Dynasty, everything will be over; If not, kill them and tell you not to keep your chickens and dogs. ”
When the common people in the polder wall heard this, they were eager to bite him to death, and some people could not hold their breath and picked up the stones and smashed them. Zhang Dali said to Song Qing, "Song Qing, don't talk big, the Qing Dynasty is almost finished, I think you should surrender earlier!"
Song Qing's face turned white, and he pointed at the horse whip and shouted, "Attack!"
Zhang Dali laughed and scolded: "Dog Day, come on all kinds of things!" Lao Tzu has been waiting for you all night. ”
One by one, the Qing soldiers descended the polder and climbed straight to the polder wall. From the polder to the polder wall, it was only more than a foot high, and the large and small stones on the polder wall kept smashing down, smashing some of the Qing soldiers' heads, some of them covering their chests, and some of them turned around and tried to escape. Song Qing was trembling with anxiety on the horse, and shouted at the Qing soldiers with a bright and bright knife in his hand: "Which breed wants to run, I will kill him first!"
The Qing soldiers did not dare to run back, the stones on the polder wall were like raindrops, they smashed down with all their might, and they only put up a beaten rack, some of them put their heads in the crotch of their pants and poked their butts and were beaten. Song Qing himself was afraid of fighting, riding a horse two knots away from the polder wall, seeing that his soldiers did not dare to fight back, he thought of an idea and said to the soldiers: "Pull one by one, step on the shoulder and attack upwards!" Attack, be sure to attack!"
The Qing soldiers were one of the abacus beads--listening to people fiddling with them, knowing that they could not attack, Song Qing said so, but did not dare not attack. According to Song Qing's words, one stepped on one shoulder, and the hand in hand climbed up, and some of them were smashed down before they reached the upper shoulder, once, twice, three times,... The Qing soldiers suffered many casualties. At this time, Song Qing had to ride forward a few steps on horseback, holding a large knife in his hand. A few timid and injured Qing soldiers climbed out of the ditch and tried to run back, but Song Qing slashed them like watermelons, lying upright on the ground. The rest of the Qing soldiers did not dare to run any longer, and they all attacked the polder according to the original old method.
Zhang Dali saw that the Qing soldiers had attacked again, and he took two pieces of 60 to 70 pounds of cattle trough gangs and smashed them down on the Qing soldiers who attacked the Weizi, smashing the head of a Qing soldier into a flower, and many Qing soldiers were frightened and ran around.
At this time, Zhang Dali shouted happily, "Dog Day stuff!" Let you know the power of the Long Straight Ditch people. ”
When Yao Zhangshi saw the Qing soldiers falling in the ditch, he shouted loudly, "Burn it with fire!" The people in the polder lit the straw on fire, and only cared about throwing it into the ditch, and the clothes and hats of the soldiers were on fire, some climbed on the polder, some were busy fighting the fire, and some hurriedly took off the clothes that were on fire. The qing soldiers were burned to the ground and were running around. The women and Taoist families standing on the polder wall dressed as men were all jumping around happily, and some simply took off their hats and shook them in their hands, and the buns on their heads were exposed, revealing the women's attire. When Song Qing saw that these "men" were originally dressed up by women and Taoist families, he was eager to drill holes in the ground; There was no way but to run away with the reins.
Song Qing rode to the lake not far from the east of the polder, turned over and dismounted, and lay upright on the ground, like a dead body.
After a break, he re-examined the defeated generals of the remnants and said fiercely: "I can't bear this anger when I die, and attack again." So he selected dozens of men from the remnants of the defeated generals, formed a spear team, and attacked the polder for the second time.
This time, Song Qing made up his mind and was determined to open the polder, and he rode ahead and shouted angrily to the polder: "You stinky ladies, if you don't surrender quickly, Lao Tzu will go into the polder and call you adults and children, young and old, men and women to be ghosts under the knife."
While instructing people to transport stones and cylinders and prepare for battle, Yao Zhangshi shouted to Song Qing: "Those with the surname Song, they are not afraid of dying!"
Song Qing said, "If Lao Tzu can't beat Weizi this time, he won't be surnamed Song."
Zhang Dali then said, "If you don't have the surname Song, just follow LaoZi's surname Zhang!" The people in the polder laughed out loud.
Song Qing was so angry that he was about to swallow Zhang Qiang, so he said to the spear team behind him in a menacing manner, "No one is allowed to retreat!"
Yao Zhangshi whispered to Zhang Dali: "Hit the snake to the head, let me cure Song Qing's dog thing, after saying that, pick up a stone, aim at the eyeliner, and throw it at Song Qing, Song Qing rode on the horse with a big target, not biased, and was hitting Song Qing's brain melon seeds." Song Qing cried out, and the blood on his head gushed straight out and fell from his horse. The Qing soldiers on both sides quickly helped Song Qing to his horse and ran towards the east side of the road without a life. Qing Bing saw That Song Qing had run away, and he didn't have the life to follow.
The people in the polder shouted in unison, "Song Qing is running!" Chase! Boom!"
In the battle of Changzhigou, the Qing soldiers killed and wounded hundreds of people, and the morale of the common people was even more exuberant, especially the prestige of the women's Taoist families increased a lot.
