In the Qing Dynasty, Karen geese plucked their hair, and the card officials were extremely vicious. It was too difficult to break through Kanto in those days.

(Text/Chen Da) The grindstone is located in the southeast suburb of Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province. This is an unknown town with a history of 100 years. At the beginning of last century, when Russia built the Middle East Railway, there was a train stop here. Because it is the tenth stop from Vladivostok, Russia, it is called "Ten Stop". (Grindstone Station) "Grindstone" Nie Shicheng wrote during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the grindstone was also called Dangshi Store, and the yamen, deputy commander-in-chief of Ningguta, set up an armory here, and several Qing soldiers guarded this border. In the early spring of the 20th year of Guangxu, Nie Shicheng, the patriotic general of the Qing Dynasty who was then the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan Town, Shanxi Province, led three students, Zhang Zuyou, Yan Yuchun and Feng, to stop Russia from patrolling the border at Sanchakou (Dongning County) and passed by the grindstone. He wrote in The Journey to the West's book: "The Party History Store has more than 20 miles of flat land, which is cultivated by the people and has many trees near the mountains." As Nie said, the grindstone is the dividing point between Mudanjiang Valley and Laoyeling. The flat and open plain area of Mudanjiang River Valley in the west reaches Mudanjiang City. From the grindstone to the east, enter the densely forested alpine forest area. The middle section of Laoyeling is high in mountains and deep in forests, with winding roads, and the natural terrain is like that of Mudanjiang City. Nie Shicheng is the 23rd day of the first month of 2008. Nie Shicheng and his party set out from Mihe River, passed through grindstone, stone temple and Tuomagou, and visited Sanchakou border. Nie Zongbing recorded in detail what he saw and heard along the way in "Diary of Journey to the West": there were troops stationed in Stone Temple and Tuomagou. Sanchakou (Dongning City) is rich in soil and close to Cuifeng River (Suifenhe), which is the border between China and Russia. For a long time, I was afraid of Russian occupation. Wu Xianxian (imperial envoy, Wu Dacheng) set up frontier defense, established reclamation bureau, stationed troops in different periods, and protected the reclamation people with roads, from He Suihe (south of Mudanjiang City) to Sanchakou. According to the original regulations, 500 troops will be stationed and recovered in different ways. Cattle, seeds and utensils are officially distributed, and soldiers still have two taels of silver every month. Guangxu was abolished in the seventeenth year, leaving only forty garrisons, divided into guard and patrol bandits, and Li Tun was in charge. Now there are five places, namely Stone Temple, Tuomagou, Xilin River, Xiaosuifen River and Rainwater Spring, each with eight names. In the above precious historical records, Nie Shicheng simply explained the original intention of Wu Dacheng, an imperial envoy who supervised border affairs in Jilin, to build a road leading to Sanchakou, in order to change the original situation of hundreds of miles of barren land, set up a reclamation bureau, and recruit station troops to achieve the purpose of "recruiting people to be solid". As well as the treatment, quantity and development of stationing troops, there is no mention of Wu Dayou's achievements in consolidating national defense and the difficulty in recruiting troops in developing frontier areas ... On the eighth day of April in the seventh year of Guangxu, Wu Dayou was granted the authority to "defend all the three surnames of Ningguta and Hunchun, that is, to instruct Wu Dayou to supervise and prepare for stationing troops". Wu Dacheng firmly believes. In any case, what Wu Qincha didn't expect was that the top and bottom turned a deaf ear to the recruitment of land reclamation, the traditional thinking of Qing officers and soldiers to fish the people, the unreasonable orders of feudal bureaucrats, and the cruelty of flag officials to farmers who came to land reclamation was outrageous. The solid border environment created by Wu Dacheng and others is easily destroyed by them. It can be said that it is not just a failure. With Wu Dayou in power, petty crimes are everywhere. In those days, Karen, a police officer of Wang Xing, was working hard. It is not clear whether this person is an official or a soldier. It can be judged that he definitely has a snake heart, which seems to regard cultivating people's lives as dirt. In the winter of Guangxu's seventh year, more than 30 refugees braved the snow and went to Sanchakou to lead the famine. When they passed the grindstone Cullen, they made things difficult for no reason and were stopped by the management of Wang Xing Cullen. "Wang Kulun" didn't get any benefits in the border inspection, which made him extremely angry. In a rage, he even looted the luggage and dry food of this group of people, maliciously threatening everyone to move on and not allowed to return to Ningguta. After sharpening the grindstone, these 30 pioneers saw that there was no hope of being forced to return to the city, so they had to help each other on the ice and snow road and moved to the fork in the road step by step. At the end of the year, the weather is freezing, the snow is cruel to the gluttons, the roads are icy and slippery, and a bunch of hungry people wander around in the harsh environment of the snow cellar, and the cold wind attacks the muscles and there is no food in their bellies. That really doesn't work. They "almost starved to death". Karen, the fork official of Ningguta, set a gambling game to defraud the people, and the people were cornered. The official "gambling is not as rich as Chun Er's (spring age)", regardless of the overall situation of recruiting talents and talents, only thinking about how to make a fortune on their own. He used despicable means to force or lure Kenmin from Sanchakou to gamble with him and won people's money by gambling fraud. Many Kenmin owe huge gambling debts for this. People who owe gambling debts have no money to pay back, and card officials use their powers to detain reclamation silver or grain every month, which makes the life of border people unsustainable. The card officer abused the people so much that the helpless border people could not survive. "The border people wanted to escape, so they stopped." The wanton behavior of the card officer seriously damaged the "reclamation environment" and made it more difficult to reclaim the frontier fortress. Facing the complicated living environment of Jilin officialdom, Wu Dayou boldly promoted land reclamation and military training in the border areas after he gained the real power of defense and reclamation in charge of Jilin's "Trilateral" in the spring of Guangxu seven years, and made a series of "combination boxing" to rectify the border affairs environment. Wu Qincha regained the right to pay from Ming 'an on the grounds that the first army did not listen to the command of the second general. The members of Sanchakou, who were unfavorable to conscription and reclamation, were removed from their posts and transferred back in the spring. Intensify the inspection of the defense of Samsung, Ningguta and Hunchun, comprehensively control military training, garrison and monasticism in various places, transfer strict officer training, and continuously improve the personal and military quality of recruits. De Ping 'a, deputy commander-in-chief of Ningguta, was also transferred. Manager Wang Xing of grindstone Karen was also punished. The garrison in Tacheng, Shandong Province has been set up, and the roads in uninhabited areas can gradually pass. Under the unified command of Wu Dayou, Jilin's border affairs have been flourishing. In the blink of an eye, the once-in-a-century situation changed in a hurry. I took annual leave these days and flew to my son's house in Hainan to visit relatives. Walking around the corner downstairs, I met the old headmaster of the grindstone school I knew in my early years. When we parted, my fellow villagers insisted on giving me a bag and opening it. There are two boxes of beautifully packaged millet in it. In the evening, I cooked a pot of fragrant millet porridge. As soon as my son came home from work, he said happily, Grindstone Xiaomi Xiang. ...
