The Snow Mountain Flying Fox happened in a place that sounds extremely scary, but in fact very important, that is, the Ninguta that everyone often hears! However, Ninguta was not as terrifying as expected.
Bao Shu said, "Ninguta?" What to do? ”
The man glanced at Nguyen Shi Zhong, as if it were inconvenient to tell him.
Bao Shu said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it."
The man said, "The master said that the opponent was fierce, but he was afraid that he would not be able to stop when the enemy arrived, so he rushed to Ninggu Pagoda and asked the golden-faced Buddha to go up the mountain to help him."
- "Snow Mountain Flying Fox"
Control the important towns of Northeast Asia
Jin Yong's "Flying Fox on the Snow Mountain" is different from its more storytelling prequel", "Flying Fox Wai Biao", which mainly tells the story of several martial arts masters who recall the story of Hu Yidao, the predecessor of Wulin, in the Yubi Mountain Villa outside Guanwai after a fight.
The place where this round of talks took place was near the Qing Dynasty's important town of "Ninggu Pagoda" (present-day Ning'an City, Heilongjiang Province) outside Guanwai. Presumably, this Jade Pen Mountain Villa should also be not far away. So, where will Yubi Villa be?
Speaking of this, we must start with a post road set up after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, especially after the middle of the Shunzhi Dynasty, to prevent the Russians from infiltrating the areas outside the Guanxi.
It is mentioned in the "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" that the Yubi Mountain Villa is in the "bitter cold place under the Changbai Mountain", and the name "Ningguta" is mentioned many times, which can be seen that its location is within the territory under the jurisdiction of the vice capital of Ningguta under the general of Jilin.
The passage from Jilin (shipyard), where the Jilin General Mansion is located, to Ninggu pagoda is to cross the ZhangGuangcai Ridge and then pass through the remnants of the northern section of the Changbai Mountain in Changbai Mountain to reach the Ningguta City on the bank of the Mudanjiang River, but this post road needs to cross the mountains and cross the mountains, and there are many tiger plagues along the way.
In addition, there is a flatter post road, which needs to go east from Jilin Road to the bank of the Tumen River, and then go north along the Changbaishan Mountain Road and Mudanjiang River to Ningguta, which basically coincides with the direction of today's Changtu Railway-Tujia Railway Mutu section.
Ninguta Post Road Map
The first post road mentioned above is shown in this figure
Ninguta (Manchu: Latin: ninguta) is a name given to both the old and new cities. The old city is located in the town of Changting, Hailin, Heilongjiang Province, which is a town guard fortress established by the Qing Taizu Nurhaci after conquering the local savage Jurchen, and it is said that there were six brothers in the past, and in each town, and in the Manchu language, "six" is "Ninggu", "one" is "tower", so this place is named here.
In the fifth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1666), the Qing court moved to build a new city in Ning'an Town, Ning'an City, Heilongjiang Province, and the "Ninggu Pagoda" where Miao Renfeng lived should be this new city, which was located on the banks of the Mudanjiang River, a tributary of the Songhua River, and was also close to today's famous summer resort Jingpo Lake (the Qing Dynasty name "Bierten Lake") and the former capital of the Bohai State - the ruins of Shangjing LongquanFu (located in Bohai Town, Ning'an City, Heilongjiang Province).
In 1653 (the tenth year of Shunzhi), the Qing government considered Ningguta to be an important town outside the border and should be appointed to guard the town. "Ordering the Blue Banner Ofe Zhangjing Shaerhuda to be the NingguTa Ang Bang Zhangjing Town Shouning Guta Place" and Shengjing (present-day Shenyang) Ang Bang Zhangjing jointly managed the affairs of the northeast.
The reason behind this was that the previous year, when the Qing army met the Russian Cossack team led by Khabarov in the village of Uraza, it suffered a defeat.
This worked, and the following year, the newly appointed Sharhuda, with a mixed force of Koreans, Hyders, and Eight Banner Soldiers, defeated the Cossack advance party at the place where the Songhua River joined Heilongjiang (present-day Tongjiang, Heilongjiang Province).
After this battle, the Cossacks who had ventured to the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River had to retreat to HumarZhai (present-day Huma County, Heilongjiang Province) to rest.
More than a month later, at a celebration meeting held in Jilin Province, Shen Liu, commander of the Korean musket team who had contributed a lot in this battle, took the opportunity to mention that the Qing army had captured "no less than three or four hundred guns" of enemy guns with a "special" shape in this battle, and asked him to give them a few "thief cannons." After weighing them for two days, Sharhuda finally sent only one.
Shen Liu left such a record for later generations: "The thief cannon is different from the mainland concoction, no fire rope, fire iron is inserted inside, iron is put down outside, and the flint stone is put down, then the stone and iron are thin and the fire is different, so it was a special gift to Hu (Sharhuda). ”
These so-called "thief guns" are flintlock guns that are still fresh in East Asia. This battle is also known as the "Luochan Conquest" by The Korean historical sources ("Luochan", or "Luochan", or "Luocha", "Yuche", "Laocha", "Laoqiang", "Chehan", is a contemptuous translation of the name of "Rus" in the early Qing Dynasty).
By 1660, Sharhuda's son Bahai led his troops to track down the remnants of Stepanov in Boli, annihilating more than 180 of them, thus eliminating the Cossacks in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River.
In 1662 (the first year of the Kangxi Dynasty), the Qing government changed the name of Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing to a general of Zhenshou Ningguta and other places, referred to as Ningguta General. This general's mansion was the headquarters of the Qing government that later operated the Sanjiang Plain, the area outside the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, and the Sakhalin Island area.
Fa di Ninguta is not so scary
The place "Ninggu Pagoda" was always regarded as a feared path by scholars and officials who were afraid of committing crimes in the Qing Dynasty. Because "sending Ninguta to slaves with the Phi Phi (Shu) is not a fun thing to do.
After all, Ninguta means ice and snow, far from home, deserted, and really comparable to hell. Moreover, along the way, the prisoners also need to wear chain shackles and be escorted by two officials to thousands of miles, and the suffering is simply indescribable.
In addition, many of the stations on this road are also the descendants of suffering people. Perhaps miao renfeng moved to Ningguta, first, to admire Hu Yidao, and second, to find some descendants of the remnants of Wu Sangui.
After all, he himself was a descendant of Li Chuangwang's bodyguard, and when Wu Sangui first swept the southwest, many remnants of the Great Shun Army and the Great Western Army surrendered to Wu Sangui. After the San Francisco Rebellion was put down, many remnants of Wu Sangui were sent to the post roads to Bukui and Ninguta as stationers.
Therefore, although Ningguta was in the rear of Manchuria, in fact, in the Qianlong era in which the Miao people lived, even the "armored" soldiers, many of them were descendants of Yunnan people (Wu Sangui's old department) and Fujian people (Zheng Zhilong Zheng Chenggong Zheng Jing's subordinates), and the number of authentic Manchurians was not as good as the former.
Miao Renfeng should be able to find many deceased people in Ninguta
However, in terms of living customs, these imposters of the Manchus were Manchurian, and when they worshipped their ancestors, they also burned flags and incense to engage in the activities of dancing gods, and even named manchurian names. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, even Yuan Chonghuan's descendant, the Han Army Banner Man Shoushan, could serve as a general of Heilongjiang.
Although the system of distributing Ninggu pagodas has already appeared in the Shunzhi era, it was not until the Qianlong period that the rules were formed. The "Laws of the Great Qing Dynasty" promulgated in the early years of Qianlong stipulates: "Those who are robbers who avoid death and reduce their lives, those who rob several families and stop the first family, those who confess the first theft and take the first theft immediately, and those who steal the grave twice... Gufa Ninggu Pagoda and other places. ”
Criminals sent to Ninguta are generally sent for a period of 10 years, and then the government examines the actual performance of the criminals, and if they can repent and rehabilitate, change evil and follow good, and are willing to return to their original hometowns, they are allowed to return home. But if sentenced to life imprisonment, he will never be allowed to enter the customs unless the emperor specifically approves it.
But in fact, Ningguta City is located in the northern section of Changbai Mountain, yumai Laoye Ridge, next to the Jingpo Lake, Mudanjiang as a dependency, the climate can also be affected by the sea of Japan warm and humid airflow, the landform is relatively flat, and even the Jingpo Lake water because of the effect of geothermal heat, but also slightly warm (I have personally experienced, you want to experience can also try it in the summer).
Overall, the conditions in Ningguta are actually much better than in the other two exile concentrations, Bukui (now Qiqihar, Heilongjiang Province) in the wetland area along the Nenjiang River, and Shangyang Fort (now submerged by the Qinghe Reservoir) near Kaiyuan.
In addition, according to the records of prisoners who successfully reached Ninguta, although Ninguta is far away from the world of central flowers and flowers, it is actually very lax in management, and the precautions are not very strict (the prevention direction is not very strict).
When prisoners arrive at the locality, they can be exempted from all servitude with only one stone of grain every year and live like ordinary people. They were supposed to be slaves to the Phi Phi People, but they were able to come and go freely and make friends freely. Whether it is business, farming, or teaching, as long as the individual has this ability, there is not much obstacle.
Ninguta is a remote place with a simple heart, and the locals are full of admiration for cultured people. Among them, the officers of Ninguta played a good leading role and were very friendly to these educated criminals, calling them "Haban" (noble people).
In order to enable the prisoners to support themselves, the supervisor also distributes seeds to them during spring ploughing. Some people even miss life there after returning home from Ninguta.
For example, in the Shunzhi Dynasty, the Jiangnan scholar Wu Zhaoqian was once given Ningguta for the sake of handing over white scrolls, and later after being pardoned and returned to his hometown, before he died, he said to his son: "I want to shoot with Ru at the foot of the White Mountain, fish for the carp and songhua river, bring back to the offering, pick new mushrooms by hand, and pay Rumu to make soup to accompany dinner. ”
By the way, the most famous agricultural products produced in Ning'an City today are rice and watermelon, which have a good taste depending on the abundant local water resources and nutrient-rich volcanic ash soil.
Jingpo Lake and Yubi Villa
The name of Yubi Mountain Villa is "Mountain Villa", which must be surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although the Mudanjiang River is abundant in water, it is still not as beautiful and magnificent as the scenery of Jingpo Lake.
Not to mention that Jingpo Lake is a dammed lake, there is a waterfall at the mouth of the lake, that is, the Hanging Water Tower Waterfall, and there are relics left over from the volcano in ancient times nearby (that is, today's "Crater Forest Park", where the main trees are red pines, and there is even an "underground forest" in the sinkhole in the park), if there are several volcanic stone bonsai or ornaments in the villa, it has a strong symbolic meaning.
The meaning behind this is that the surface of the hard and porous volcanic stone can set off the hypocrite personality characteristics of Du Ximeng, the owner of the Yubi Mountain Villa, in short, the surface is righteous, and the inside is oily. After all, he had once seized Hu Fei's mother's relics, deceived Miao Renfeng, and appeared to be hospitable in front of the crowd.
The Snow Mountain Flying Fox takes place in Ninguta
If the mountain villa is also decorated with the Eastern Pearls that Empress Dowager Cixi likes, and then raises a number of "Haidongqing" used in hunting, it will better reflect the noble spirit of the owner.
Although Yubi Villa is located near Ninggu Pagoda, which is regarded as a daunting way by outsiders, the scenery is actually quite good, not particularly desolate, and with the nearby products, it should be a good place.
Unfortunately, the owner of the zhuang is not right, which is really detrimental to the beautiful scenery nearby, and also adds a lot of dark colors to the suspense novel "Snow Mountain Flying Fox".
