Let's talk about the past and the present, and dig deep into the history of Hebei that you don't know. Hello, everyone, I am the "bluestone army". Welcome to pay attention to the "customs clearance stone", which brings you fresh, interesting and dry historical stories every day. As mentioned in many previous articles, the story of Taiping Army's Northern Expeditionary Army fighting in Hebei Province. In fact, in addition to Cangzhou and Hengshui, the Taiping Army captured the county seat of Shijiazhuang and fought against the reactionary forces in the early days of going deep into Hebei, and also achieved a lot of results. Up to now, there are still their battle relics in the western mountainous area of Shijiazhuang. In recent years, in the third cultural relics survey in Shijiazhuang, the sites of Haohanzhai and Tianmenzhai at the northern foot of Fenglongshan Mountain in the west of Shijiazhuang were discovered. At present, there are still relics in Haohanzhai area, such as village walls, railing piles, stone mortar for cooking, etc. It was left over from the war between Taiping Army and Qing Army. The locals also picked up weapons such as arrows and iron bullets used in the past in the vast village area. According to local legend in Haohanzhai, after the defeat of the Northern Expeditionary Army of Taiping Army, one unit was unwilling to fail. Today, in the Fenglongshan area at the junction of Luquan and Yuanshi County, the team was reorganized to fight against the Qing court armed forces. The locals admire the courage of this solitary army and give them water and food. Later, under the siege of Zhengding government soldiers, this unit finally ended in failure. Reflect the picture of Taiping Army fighting, and fight and retreat. Finally, the Taiping Army was unwilling to be captured and jumped off a cliff at the top of Haorenzhai Mountain and died. The locals admire the courage of their from ruin, and named this mountain "Hero Village" as a memorial. There are relics as evidence, and there are local stories. It seems that there is no doubt that Taiping Army once brought things to the enemy Qing Army here? However, in the local chronicles of Luquan and Yuanshi County, it is recorded that the Taiping Army fought here in September of the third year of Xianfeng (1853), and it was an early fighting force of the Taiping Army, not the one that fought here after failure as mentioned in the story. Moreover, in the early days of the Northern Expedition of Taiping Army, Hebei counties only attacked and did not occupy, and rarely sent effective troops to a certain place.

Then, it is probably true that the peasant rebels fought against the Qing army, but it is so exaggerated without a story description, and it is not necessarily what the Taiping Northern Expeditionary Army did. Zuo, like us, noticed that in the period slightly later than the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Lu Army, which was popular in Anhui, Henan and Shandong, began to harass Hebei at the end of 1867, and they arrived in the south-central part of Hebei near Beijing. The vanguard even reached the Lugouqiao area. 1868 In February of the lunar calendar, Nianjun East Road Army once arrived in Zhengding, Luquan and Yuanshi counties today. This army is like a rainbow, mainly cavalry. It came and went like the wind, which made the Qing court very headache. The famous minister Zuo also had to take over Zhengding city. The battle map of the Nian army and the Qing army, but in the Nanzhai area on the west side of Fenglongshan today, there are still traces left by the Nian army's battle. At that time, the Nian army, which was attacking thousands of miles away, occupied the mountain commanding heights in Luquan area and fought the reactionary armed forces from a commanding height. Then, is the battle relic in the vast village also left by the Nian army and the Qing army more than ten years later? The answer to the question "The Battle Situation Map of Nian Army" needs us to further dig up the literature and history data to solve it. Whether it's true or not, today's battle relics in Fenglongshan and Luquan areas of Shijiazhuang were left by the rebels against the government forces in the late Qing Dynasty. They fought tenaciously in heavy encirclement and were named after "heroes". I don't think this is an excessive compliment! Well, that's the end of our story today. Welcome to read our next article.
