The car came to a stop soon after leaving Xiuwen County, and we had to walk the rest of the mountain road.
Feng Yong hired a few porters to deliver some daily necessities to Zhang Xueliang. Before they climbed halfway up the mountain, they saw a group of military police standing guard. These military police did not step forward to stop them, but watched from a distance, watching Zhou Hexuan and others.
People go up the mountain.
Longgang Mountain has towering ancient trees and dense cypresses, making it a good place for travel and relaxation.
About 300 meters away from Yangming Cave, Zhou Hexuan and the others were finally stopped. They carefully checked Lao Chiang's warrant several times before letting them go. Previously, a student accidentally broke into the restricted area and was detained by the guards for a full day and night.
The person will be released only after the school provides guarantee.
Zhou Hexuan admired the scenery along the way and joked: "Old Jiang has found a good place for the Sixth Marshal to retire."
Feng Yong said with emotion: "Mr. Yangming can realize the Tao here, but Xiao Liuzi can't understand anything."
The place where Zhang Xueliang was under house arrest at this time was called Longchangyi in the Ming Dynasty. It was the Longchangyi where Wang Yangming had his enlightenment in Longchang. I don’t know what Chiang Kai-shek had in mind when he chose such a place for Zhang Xueliang. Did he want Zhang Xueliang to also realize it?
Enlightenment?
A man with glasses in a Chinese tunic suit came over and said with a serious smile: "Mr. Zhou, General Feng, and I, Liu Yiguang, are responsible for taking care of Commander Zhang's daily life. Please follow me!"
"Please lead the way." Zhou Hexuan nodded.
Liu Yiguang was a graduate of the fourth class of Huangpu. He had been bound to Zhang Xueliang for half his life. He had been monitoring Zhang Xueliang from 1937 to 1962. This guy looked gentle and elegant, but he was extremely harsh and harsh on others, so he was nicknamed "Hitler".
The porters were all blocked outside, and Liu Yiguang called several spies to strictly inspect the belongings of Zhou Hexuan and Feng Yong. After the weapons of Sun Yongzhen and Zhu Guozhen were confiscated, Liu Yiguang took Zhou Hexuan and others in and arranged them in Binyang.
Hall.
Binyang Hall was the place where Wang Yangming entertained guests. The original building had been damaged long ago and was not rebuilt until last year by the county magistrate Xiuwen.
Opposite Binyang Hall is the Great Buddha Hall, which was built during the Jiaqing period. At that time, the gentry built the Wencheng Temple for Wang Yangming. Considering that the ancestral hall would be easily damaged if it was left unattended, a monk was hired to manage the ancestral hall. The monk raised funds to build it himself in order to chant sutras and worship Buddha.
Big Buddha Hall.
When County Magistrate Xiuwen renovated Binyang Hall last year, he thought that the place dedicated to the temple was not suitable for worshiping Buddha, so he moved all the Buddha statues and monks in the Big Buddha Hall to Zhifei Temple.
Zhou Hexuan and Feng Yong didn't wait long before Zhang Xueliang came with Miss Zhao Si. They were wearing sportswear and holding badminton rackets in their hands. It looked like they were playing ball for fun just now.
"Fifth brother, Mingcheng!" Zhang Xueliang was quite happy. No one had come to see him for a long time.
Feng Yong punched Zhang Xueliang on the chest and asked: "The secret agents here didn't make it difficult for you, did they?"
Zhang Xueliang smiled bitterly and said: "Fortunately, except that I can't go down the mountain, I am relatively free at other times."
Zhang Xueliang is really "free". He can even swim and fish in the Lujia River at the foot of the mountain. There is a basketball court here in Yangmingdong. Zhang Xueliang often organizes military police agents to play basketball. He volunteers as a coach, and sometimes as a referee and player.
, my spare time life is relatively rich.
"Alas..." Feng Yong sighed, not knowing what to say.
The agent brought a pot of tea, and Miss Zhao Si took the initiative to pour it for everyone. Zhang Xueliang said to Zhou Hexuan: "Mingcheng, you have guessed it. You are really the contemporary Zhuge Liang. Alas, the country is declining, what can ordinary people do? What we see every day
Newspapers have lost the battle again."
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Sixth Commander, I not only said that Japan will attack China, I also said that China will win the war of resistance."
"Can China really win?" Zhang Xueliang couldn't see a glimmer of hope.
Zhou Hexuan said: "Of course China can win. Chiang Kai-shek has begun to deal with the Communist Party again, which shows that he is very confident about the future of the war of resistance."
Zhang Xueliang pointed outside and reminded Zhou Hexuan that walls have ears and not to talk nonsense.
Zhou Hexuan laughed loudly and said: "I am not afraid that they will hear it. Chiang Kai-shek is still very generous. He knows that I have always opposed internal strife between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. By the way, what on earth were you thinking at the beginning? You actually sent Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing in person. I warned you earlier.
But please pay attention to your safety."
Zhang Xueliang sighed and said: "The situation is out of control. The Communist Party and Yang Hucheng are forcing President Chiang to sign. He Yingqin leads the army into the northwest, and President Chiang is determined not to sign. If this fails, a civil war will break out. I can only let President Chiang go."
I have to personally escort him, and I don’t worry about sending other people. At that time, the Northeast Army’s noise of killing Chiang was very loud.”
The three of them chatted for a while about the situation of the Anti-Japanese War, and then Zhang Xueliang took them to the east chamber of the ancestral hall. It was an ancient building with a brick and wood structure, built during the Xianfeng period. The upstairs was the living room, and the downstairs was Zhang Xueliang's study and living room.
While waiting for the meal, Zhou Hexuan took a look around Zhang Xueliang's study. There were many newspapers piled in the corner, a pile of books on the history of the Ming Dynasty on the bookshelf, and a large number of works on the study of mind.
Wang Yangming was demoted to Longchangyi, and Liu Jin sent people to hunt him down. He escaped by pretending to dive into the water. When he first arrived at Longchangyi, Wang Yangming didn't even have a house and could only live in a cave.
, that cave is the origin of Yangming Cave.
Having offended the powerful and being "exiled", Zhang Xueliang naturally felt sympathy for Wang Yangming. So when he was bored, he studied Ming history and Wang Yangming in various ways, and regularly sent his research results to Chiang Kai-shek. However,
Lao Jiang never even looked at it.
"Mr. Zhou, Fifth Brother Feng, it's time to eat!" Miss Zhao Si shouted outside.
The food is good, with fish and meat, and the young commander has a lot of money in the bank.
After the meal, Zhang Xueliang took them to the mountains for sightseeing. They visited the cave where Wang Yangming originally lived, and also visited Wang Yangming's "He Burrow". "He Burrow" is a thatched house built by local natives for Wang Yangming. Of course, hundreds of years have passed.
It was destroyed and now only the rebuilt brick and wooden houses can be seen.
The cypress tree planted by Wang Yangming himself is still there and has grown into a towering tree. It was named "Wencheng Cypress" by literati.
The most deplorable thing is Longgang Academy, where "Yangming Xinxue" was promoted and spread, and it is the spiritual holy place for the disciples of Xinxue. Decades later, some Japanese took the initiative to provide money to build a school in Yangming
The cave got a statue for Wang Yangming.
Zhou Hexuan and Feng Yong stayed here for two days. When they left, Mr. Zhou suddenly had a bad idea and wrote "Unity of Knowledge and Action" and asked the secret agent to find someone to carve it on the stone wall of Junzi Pavilion. There was no other meaning, he just
I want to see what he should write instead of "Unity of Knowledge and Action" seven years later when Chiang Kai-shek was visiting Yangming Cave.
Feng Yong flew directly back to Chongqing to assist Zhou Zhirou in reorganizing the air force, while Zhou Hexuan went to Yunnan. Since he had already arrived in Guizhou, he wanted to go to Yunnan. The main purpose was to visit the famous Southwest Associated University.
