Yue Fei's resistance to gold

Yue Fei's resistance to gold

Yuefei's anti gold fortress is located on the ridge of Niushou mountain and Hanfu mountain in Yuhuatai District of Nanjing city. It was built with reddish brown stones when Yuefei fought against Niushou mountain. The bottom of the wall is 0.5 meters wide and the height is about 1.5 meters. It is nearly 900 years since Yue Fei fought against Niushou mountain. There is still a 200 meter long stone base site.

In April of the fourth year of Jianyan (1130) of the Southern Song Dynasty, "Wushu tends to Jiankang, and (Yue) flies to the Niushou mountain to wait for it. At night, hundreds of people in black and mixed with the gold camp fight against it, and the Jin soldiers are shocked and attack each other." This is the famous battle of Niutoushan, the great victory of Niutoushan. The so-called "old fortress" is the remains left by Yue Fei when he fought against NIUSHOUSHAN. Later, it was used by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom when fighting with the Qing army.

terrain

Niushou mountain, commonly known as Niutou mountain, is located in the rolling hills about 15 kilometers south of the main city of Nanjing, with a peak height of 243 meters and an area of about 5 square kilometers. Because of the steep mountain and the dangerous situation, it has always been a must for military strategists. Hanfu mountain is located in the north of Niushou mountain, stretching for several miles. It starts from the Qinhuai River about 500 meters east of Tiexin bridge in the north, and is closely connected with Niushou mountain in the south. Niushou mountain and Hanfu mountain form a natural barrier in the south of the main city of Nanjing.

structure

The anti gold base starts from Hanfu mountain on the Qinhuai River of Tiexin bridge. There are many exposed rocks on the ridge, which is steep. There are obvious traces of man-made barriers connecting with the fault gaps of natural exposed rocks. Because of the long history, there are many scattered stones on both sides. The length of this section is about 300 meters.

Continue south to Tiexinqiao Township chenjiawa mountain, the old base deviates from the ridge and goes down more than 20 meters to the West. After the interruption of 200 meters, obvious traces of the old fortress appeared again. It was still on the ridge. The height of the old fortress varied from 2.5 meters to 3 meters.

About 50 meters in front of the third peak in the north, the old fortress was changed into a "Ding" shape, originally along the Yangchang trail on the west side of the old fortress, crossing the old fortress to the peak. The East-West fortress is relatively complete, with a height of about 1 skill. From the intersection of "Ding" shaped old fortress, there is a mud pond about 200 meters to the east to the foot of the mountain, and the old fortress ends at the edge of the pond at the foot of the mountain; about 5000 meters to the west, there is a mountain stream, and about 150 meters to the west, which is a gully between the two mountains. The old fortress is about 1 meter high and 1.5 meters wide. It is neatly built, covered with moss and snow, meandering, and disappears naturally along the gully to the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain is the Xiaonanhai sand field in dingfang village. It is about 1000 meters from east to west.

From dingfang village to gaojiaku village, the ruins of the old fortress are not obvious. At the back of Longquan Temple, the ruins of the old fortress reappeared. There is a mountain pass about 200 meters away from the monument of cultural relic protection of Longquan Temple. It goes up along the ridge, and the more obvious ruins of the old fortress are about 200 meters. Then it turns south at a right angle, and it is scattered, but its artificial traces are still very obvious. The end of this section is the quarry of gaojiaku, which is about 400 meters long.

The back mountain of Longquan Temple is still a part of Hanfu mountain, which is called Jiangjun mountain or broken arm cliff by local people. It is so called because there are still stories about Yue Fei's resistance to gold

There is a cave on the east side of Longquan Temple, which is about 5 meters high, 12 meters wide and 4 meters deep. It is wide in Xibu and narrow in Nei. It looks like a natural Buddhist niche. According to the old monk in the temple, in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei fought against NIUSHOUSHAN. A strong general went deep into the enemy's array and fought bravely to kill many golden soldiers. One of his arms was also cut off by the enemy. As a result, he concealed himself in the cave to heal his wounds. Later, he was found by local people. They sent tea and rice and collected Chinese herbal medicine to help him heal his wounds. Soon after, the general recovered and went to the anti gold battlefield. In memory of the hero who broke his arm because of his resistance to gold, people named this mountain Jiangjun mountain and the cliff broken his arm.

From Longquan Temple to the foot of Niushou mountain, there are many fields, ponds and villages, which are separated by ningdan highway. The cemetery of pujue temple is located at the foot of Niushou mountain to the northeast. From the cemetery to the mountain, we can see the ruins of the old fortress. About 1000 meters, along the ridge to the south, there are more than 1000 meters more complete old base. The stone barriers (about 400 meters away from the main peak of Niushou mountain) gradually disappeared. There is an obvious feature of this 2000 meter old gold resistant base, that is, the tiger spines, mangosteen, thatch and vines on both sides of the base naturally form a "barrier" to preserve the base.

In addition, in the southeast direction of Niushou mountain, near Shuige village under the "Feng" cliff, there are intermittent old fortresses, about 200 meters long.

In a word, from the Qinhuai River, 500 meters to the east of Tiexinqiao, to the main peak of NIUSHOUSHAN, the old anti gold fortress still exists intermittently, about 4200 meters. It is 860 years since Yue Fei fought against Niushou mountain. It is rare that some sections of the old fortress remain intact.

history

Yue Fei was very proud of the recovery of Jiankang (now Nanjing). He once looked at the sun in June 1130, the fourth year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, and wrote in the records of the walls of Taoxi garden of Zhang's family in Yixing: "he always joined the army and fought more than 200 battles. Although he was not able to travel far away, he was also quick enough to deal with national affairs in case. Now I'm talking about the lone army of Yixing, building a city of health and recovering at one stroke That is to say, we should go deep into the Bian court, welcome the two saints, return them to the capital, and take the place where they came from and go back to Banji. It's not a pleasure for him to work hard on gold and stone when he has been here
