Chapter 10 There is a "Ding Banchao" in Jianping

Standing in Xiliang of Zhaojin Town and looking westward, there are many mountains and ravines; flowing greenery, scattered villages; rising smoke from cooking houses, surrounded by anchored small rivers, constitute a beautiful and tranquil pastoral landscape painting.Looking to the northwest, there is a high and convex flat land under a herringbone-shaped mountain, surrounded by Leishenmiao River and Qianhe River originating from the southwest foot of Changsheling. This is the beautiful scenery. Jianping Village. In this seemingly peaceful remote village, many burning ashes have been left behind by the beacon fires and smoke clouds of history, and many soul-stirring incidents have occurred.Some of the ashes are still warm.And most of them have been cooled into chronological memories that are cold or wiped out.

In my childhood memory, the first murderer I know of Zhaojin came from this village.After a sex-conscious man had an affair with another housewife, the co-conspirator beat the man to death with a wooden stick and covered his body.At that time, the legendary scene was bloody and frightening, and we also saw the scene of the public security sentencing and shooting people at this time.The pair of dogs and men were found to be dead, and were executed by the public security personnel at the end of Yehugou. This is also the place where the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army resisted the "encirclement and suppression" of the Kuomintang reactionary army and local armed forces for the first time.In August and September 1932, the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army led by Xie Zichang and Liu Zhidan went to the Zhaojin area for activities.In early September, the troops captured an enemy spy in Yangliuping and learned that more than 400 people from the three-county defense regiment composed of the enemy Fuping, Tongchuan, and Yaoxian militias were attacking the Zhaojin area. Xie Zichang quickly deployed troops to the west of Zhaojin. The mountain retreats behind Jianping.The enemy relaxed their vigilance after being shot in the air. At this time, the guerrillas returned their carbine guns, and the troops quickly returned to the division. They completely defeated the attack of the three-county security regiment in Zhaojin's Siping and Grave Beach areas, and shattered the enemy's "encirclement and suppression" of Zhaojin. plan.The guerrillas killed Dang Xiefang, deputy commander-in-chief of the defense regiments in Fu, Tong, and Yao counties on the spot.Ma Xizhe, the head of the Yaoxian Security Regiment, and Chai Zifa, the head of the Xiaoqiu District Regiment, were captured alive.A large amount of supplies and guns were seized.

Legend has it that during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, a family of officials and eunuchs was slandered and rejected by the treacherous party, and their descendants fled here in order to avoid being punished.Seeing the fertile land and lush water and grass here, he changed his surname to Ding and lived here.They break through the thorns and open up wasteland, and work hard.With great efforts, a well-organized Jianping village was soon built next to the herringbone-shaped mountain. The streets were also paved with bluestone slabs transported from the county.At this time, the Ding family also multiplied very quickly. By the time of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Jianping Village had begun to take shape, and with the migration of people from other places, there were nearly thousands of residents.The Ding family has a prosperous family, coupled with their well-known official background, they quickly established a strict organizational management system, and formulated various detailed laws and regulations.All this forms a huge contrast and contrast with the decline of the crumbling late Ming Dynasty.A fortune teller even predicted that based on the background of the herringbone-shaped mountain, the family of the Ding surname had a prosperous family, and it was likely that the emperor would be born.At this time, the family of the Ding family was also a little bit flustered, and gradually changed their cautious practice of hiding their names and being timid, and became arrogant and domineering, as if turning this place into a small court far away from the emperor, known as "Ding Banchao".

During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, peasant uprisings in various places were surging.The East Factory and West Factory of the secret service also strengthened the monitoring of the movements of residents in various places.Due to the widespread spread of the name fortune teller, "Ding Banchao" quickly attracted the attention of the Ming court's ruling organs, and sent people to Sri Lanka to inquire about participating in politics.The spies disguised themselves, and as soon as they passed Xiliang, they met a man who was carrying dung on a trail in the mountains.The spies hurriedly asked him if there was a "Ding Ban Dynasty" in Sidi, but the dung-carrying man didn't worry about it, and replied in a serious manner: "I just carry the dung, and don't care about the rest of the dynasty." .Even the people who picked up dung called them "ministers", and the spies knew that there was something wrong, so they reported back to the Yamen and participated in politics without stopping.The matter was so important that he participated in politics and reported it to Emperor Chongzhen as soon as possible.At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already been terrified by the flames of peasant uprisings all over Shaanxi.Suspicious, he ordered troops to quell the so-called "Ding Banchao", the so-called small court, in one fell swoop without asking indiscriminately.As a result of this disaster, all Ding families were exterminated, and people engaged in commerce and trade in Jianping were also scattered. A prosperous and prosperous village was turned into ruins and rubble in an instant.

Although all this is folklore, there is also sparse and debatable evidence.For example, when building houses in Jianping Village, orderly bluestone strips, Huabiao, and Mendun were excavated to build streets, and there is no household surnamed Ding among the current residents of Jianping Village.It can be seen that this historical legend is not groundless, and has certain basis and credibility. Years have passed, and after all the historical clouds have cleared, Jianping City, with its quiet and beautiful figure, is calmly advancing on the road of building a new agricultural capital and developing Hehao as always.Jianping Village attracts a large number of tourists with its own picturesque features.
