A few days ago, I chatted with friends, inadvertently mentioned a celebrity who went out in local history, saying that there was a particularly powerful person named "Daniel Zhang", a yangxian person, who was named Xiangzhuang hou by Shunzhi and Kangxi, and Zeng Guan waited until the prince Taishiyi, saying that this person had captured a Ming Dynasty prince named Zhu Chi, and had also defeated Wu Sangui, served as the viceroy of Yunnan, and killed Li Zicheng's subordinate Yong Hao Yaoqi, which was the first fierce general in history in Hanzhong!
Records of places
County chronicle records
I am very interested in what my friends say, I used to know Daniel Zhang but he is a place of origin I really don't know, his earliest understanding is from the novels of Jin Yong read in school, in the "Deer Ding" "thirty-seventh time" mentioned him, the description of him is a fierce general, I was a "Jin Yong" fan when I was in school, so most of the characters in the book can be remembered.
The record of Daniel Zhang tomb says that Daniel Zhang originally belonged to Yang County, Shaanxi.
By chance, I saw that there was a record of Daniel Zhang in the Yangxian County Chronicle, and it was determined that he was born in Yangxian County, went to Xianning (present-day Chang'an District, Xi'an) when he was a teenager, and since then he has been fighting all his life and establishing great deeds, and buried on the Shaoling Plain after his death, saying that in front of the original tomb there were stone sheep, stone lions, stone qilins, stone horses, stone military attaches, a stone archway, a stone lion, and a shrine, tombstones and other objects.
Now preserved in Nanjing Daniel Zhang the stone stele of the later generation
Just I have a friend in Xi'an, the National Day holiday he went once, said the local called "Zhang Hou Tomb", he found in a cornfield, first found only a few meters high dome-shaped sealing soil, and then under the guidance of the locals found a Shinto monument, a stone archway site, a pair of stone lions, a statue of Shi Weng Zhong, a pair of stone horses, a pair of stone qilins, not bad, listen to the locals said that it is a pity that the tomb has been stolen!

Then I looked up information on the Internet again, and there was a surprise to find that some people think that "Dream of the Red Chamber" is the place where the descendants of the Daniel Zhang live, because the Daniel Zhang family is hereditary as a hou, living in Nanjing, then the Grand View Garden in the Dream of the Red Chamber is based on the prototype of Daniel Zhang descendants, but now it is just talking about it, there is no expert to go through the research, there is no conclusion, the current red scholars are also very controversial, of course, if the Jia family is the Daniel Zhang family, then Jia Baoyu's origin can also be said to be from Yangyang County! But this is pure speculation that everyone should not take it seriously!
