This month, Mr. Ma Ying-jeou started his journey to find his roots in the mainland, and Shaanxi is one of the important itineraries.
On the way to find his roots, in addition to worshipping Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, he also worshipped the ancestors of the Ma family. To believe it or not, Ma Ying-jeou has repeatedly said that he is also a "Shaanxi native". The reporter asked him, aren't you a Xiangtan man? Why are you a Shaanxi Han again?
Ma Ying-jeou replied that although his hometown is Hunan, his ancestors' ancestors are in Fufeng, Shaanxi. General Fubo Ma Yuan is his distant ancestor.
Ma Ying-jeou introduced that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, a descendant of Fufeng Ma Yuan moved to Hengyang, Hunan, and he was a descendant of this branch, so he traced back to the roots and was a Fufeng person in Shaanxi.
Many pot friends are very curious, who is Ma Yuan, and what are the achievements in history?
In fact, Ma Yuan can be traced back to the ancestors who did not have the surname Ma, but the surname Zhao. At the end of the Warring States Period, Zhao Hao, a famous general of the Zhao State, was also the ancestor.
In the thirty-eighth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, in 270 BC, the Qin army attacked Zhao with heavy troops. At this time, the Qin State went through the Shang Dynasty to change the law, and several generations of Qin kings worked hard to govern the country, with the strongest national strength and the beginning of hegemony. Wherever the Qin army passed, it was invincible, invincible, and the six countries were all terrified.
This time, the Qin army besieged the important town of Yanhe. King Zhao Huiwen knew that the city was in difficulty, but he had to give up. He successively summoned the veteran Lian Po and Wu Xiangjun Lecheng and asked them how to rescue.
Lian Po waved his hand: "The road is long, narrow and difficult, and it is difficult to rescue." Lecheng also said so, King Zhao was very disappointed, but he still didn't give up, and called Zhao Hao to ask.
Zhao Hao replied very firmly: "The last general thinks that although the road between here and Yan He is steep and far away, it is like two rats falling into a cave to fight, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!"
King Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this, appointed Zhao Hao as the main general, and led the army to rescue Yan You.
The state of Qin besieged Yanhe, divided a part of its forces on the west side of Wu'an, and deliberately put on a posture of attacking Wu'an. The purpose is to attract the main Zhao army, rescue Wu'an, and attack the city without worries.
As soon as Zhao Haoshuai's army left the capital Handan for 30 miles, he was stationed on standby, and ordered: "Those who admonish by military will die." "The Qin army marched noisily, and the roof tiles of Wu'an City were shaken, and it seemed that it was in danger.
Zhao Jun couldn't hold back, and strongly recommended that he immediately rush to the nearest aid to Wu'an, but was immediately beheaded by Zhao Hao. The Zhao army was stationed in Tuntun for 28 days, and did not march, but buried himself in building fortifications on the spot.
The Qin State sent spies to investigate, and Zhao Hao came up with a counter-plan, so that the other party mistakenly thought that the Zhao army was afraid of the Qin army, which had won a hundred battles, and the army was stagnant in order to prevent the capital from being taken out. The generals of the Qin State believed it to be true, thinking that Yan and Biwei had something in their pockets, and relaxed their vigilance against the Zhao army.
Seeing that the Qin army was lax and paralyzed, Zhao Hao suddenly led the elite cavalry of Zhao State to rush to a place 50 miles away from Yanhe with a rapid march of two days and one night, and seized the commanding heights of Beishan and other favorable terrain. Condescendingly, it formed a strong pressure on the besieging Qin army. Worried that the internal and external attacks would be attacked by the enemy, the Qin army, which had arranged Wu'an to block the Zhao army, hurriedly retreated to reinforce Yanhe, and the place that must be passed through was the rugged and difficult mountain road of Taihang Mountain.
Zhao Jun has long been ready for battle, waiting for work. At the sound of an order, the arrows were like rain, the tired Qin army fell a large piece, the Zhao army was like a fierce tiger, shouting from a high place to break into the enemy formation, and the defenders also opened the city gate and countercharged. The Qin army was difficult to care about, most of the casualties were killed, and they were defeated and fled, and they were surrounded and relieved.
The myth of the invincibility of the Qin army in the world was broken, and Zhao Hao was also named the king of horse service for his exploits. His descendants then took "Ma Fu" as their surname, and later changed their surname to "Ma". It is an important source of the surname Ma.
More than a hundred years later, the Qin State and even the Qin Dynasty, which unified the six countries, had long since disappeared and was replaced by the towering Han. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che had a minister named Ma Tong by his side, who was a direct descendant of Zhao Hao. He had a friendly relationship with his brother Ma Luo and his favorite retainer Jiang Chong, and participated in the Witch Rebellion.
After Emperor Wu wiped out the three clans, he suddenly woke up and severely punished all the officials who created witch Gu with his backhand. Ma Tong was so bold that he conspired with Ma Heluo and others to assassinate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. If Jin Riyan hadn't found out, Liu Che would have hung up, and Ma Tong would have been killed.
But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and Ma Shi, the son of Ma Tong, survived, mixed well, and became the envoy of Emperor Liu Xun of the Han Dynasty. Ma Shi gave birth to Ma Zhong, and the official was Xuanwu Sima. Ma Zhong gave birth to four more sons, and the fourth son was Ma Yuan.
Ma Yuan was originally a Xinmang official, but after the defeat of the new dynasty, he defected to the Liangzhou warlord Kui Huan and was quite respected. After Kui Huan rebelled against the Han Dynasty, he judged the situation and planned for Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and made great contributions to Liu Xiu's successful defeat of the warlord Kui Huan. Ren Longxi guarded, and led the army to break the brave Lingqiang tribe, so that Longyou Zhuqiang was pacified. Outstanding achievements, the court served as the general of the tiger Ben.
Subsequently, the Jiaolu women rebelled and occupied Jiaolu County, and Jiuzhen, Rinan, Hepu and other places responded. Zhengfang took the opportunity to establish himself as king.
Liu Xiu appointed Ma Yuan as the general of Fubo, attacked Jiaozhi in the south, pacified the Second Expedition Uprising, stabilized Lingnan, and was named the new Marquis for his merits.
Subsequently, the Xiongnu and Wuhuan invaded Sanfu, and Ma Yuan took the initiative to invite troops to attack to quell the rebellion for the imperial court and maintain unity.
The famous idiom story of the old man and the strong horse leather shroud is all from the horse aid.
Tracing back in this way, now, 73-year-old Ma Ying-jeou finally got his wish and came to Fufeng, Shaanxi Province to trace his roots. It is normal for people to go to Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province to seek their roots and worship their ancestors and horses, and it is difficult to hide their excitement.
Interestingly, he once asked Zhao Shaokang, a well-known media person in Taiwan, to go to the Ma clan association to worship his ancestors, Zhao Shaokang didn't know what was going on, but after reading the article, do you know why?
