There is a mass grave in Zhijin, Guizhou Province, which is located in Babu Town, zhijin county, Guizhou Province. This is an ancient battlefield site more than 350 years ago. 1980 has been approved by the people's government of zhijin county as a county-level key cultural relics protection unit. In the middle of the tomb, the words "More than 10,000 soldiers killed in the battle of Shuixi in the third year of Qing Emperor Kangxi were buried together" were engraved. On the left is the story of building a mass grave. On the right, there is a "message from the ancients": after Emperor Kangxi rehabilitated the Shuixi Incident in Qing Dynasty, a stone grave of ten thousand people in the Pingyuan county (now zhijin county) was built and a condolence message was inscribed.
? According to relevant historical records, Wu Sangui, the Queen Mother of the West, was in Kangxi for three years. In order to expand her power, she spread rumors that An Kun, the chieftain of Shuixi, "deliberately rebelled", which led the imperial court to send troops to "crusade". In the "crusade", his subordinate Li Benshen was ordered to surround Ankun from the generous Liugui River to Zhijin. When he arrived at Liugui River, Li Jun had run out of food and grass, so he had to gather in Liugui River and ask Wu Sangui for help. In the battle, he mistakenly wrote "Gui" as "Guang", which delayed the arrival of reinforcements. Due to lack of food and grass, Li Jun was ambushed by ethnic minority troops led by An Kun during the flood season in Luolong. In the battle, the death toll on both sides reached 1 10,000. The local people couldn't bear to see the dead soldiers exposed in the wilderness, and put their bones in a cave on the side of the road to cover the soil, thus forming a "mass grave". This is the origin of the veritable Shuixi mass grave. In the twentieth year of Kangxi, Wu Sangui turned against the Qing Dynasty, and Kangxi made a decree to rehabilitate Shuixi. Ten years after Qianlong, Dusi Wenkui built a monument for the tomb and inscribed it.
Legend has it that this is also one of the typical cases of a tragic war in history because of a word' love'. Of course, this is recorded in historical books. There is a local folklore that An Kun betrothed one of his concubines to Wu Sangui when he knew that his position was about to lose. However, when the farewell team marched, it was snatched back by Ankun's family. Wu Sangui was ashamed when he learned that, so he found fault with Ankun in the name of "deliberate rebellion".
In the history of Guizhou, apart from Yelang ancient country, it is Shuixi Tusi (Shuixifu). There is also the' Wusa House' under the jurisdiction of Sichuan, also known as Yancang House (now Weining). In the third year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (AD 1664), Ping Shui xi Ankun, Wu Sangui and Pi Xiong, the old minister of Nanming Dynasty, were destroyed. In the fourth year of Kangxi, he moved to Uzhafu and ruled the Acropolis. Wumengfu' (now Zhaotong, Yunnan); Mangbu House' (now Zhenxiong, Yunnan); At that time, it was called "Four Mansions". Shuixi Tusi lasted 1400 years from the third year of Han Dynasty (AD 225) to the thirty-seventh year of Qing Emperor Kangxi. Its main jurisdiction is the upper reaches of Wujiang River. After the decline of Shuixifu, E Ertai, the governor of Yunnan and Guangxi, was in charge of the southwest of Guangdong and Guangxi, and sent his general commander Liu Qiyuan to guard it. Liu Qiyuan took bribes and perverted the law, committing all kinds of evils, burning, killing and looting, and oppressing the people. He didn't seriously implement the reform of "Yong Zhengdi", which caused the local "barbarians" to struggle hard. E Ertai didn't know what his men did on the spot, so he casually reported it to the court. So in the eighth year of Yongzheng, an unprecedented battle of Wumeng was triggered. The imperial court ordered E Ertai to dispatch troops to the battlefield of Wumeng to suppress the "Rebel Army", and the local "people" fought fiercely with the Qing army led by General Xu He for several days and nights. Although the death toll in the Battle of Wumeng was about 6.5438+0.5 million, it was a river of blood and a mountain of bones. As a result, many ethnic groups were displaced in the war, moved to other places, and even changed their names and surnames and disappeared into the mountains. Among them, the' Mangbu Agu' vein in Yunnan was also greatly affected by the war and moved in all directions.
A magical, pale and powerless land in southwest China was engraved by history and turned back to mass graves in Guizhou. It is said that there is a black lump about the size of soybean and broad bean in the land around the mass grave, which is called "soil", and it is a solidified desiccant after boiling raw lacquer. "Tuzi" is actually the crystallization of mixed minerals after human blood drips into the soil, which shows the tragic war of that year.
Today, more than 350 years have passed since the war, and this mass grave has become the best witness of history. There are many descendants of Shuixi in Bijie and other places. Every time I go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, there are sacrifices to sweep graves in front of mass graves, and some incense sticks lit by Tomb-Sweeping Day. This does not exclude people from all walks of life who worship heroes to sacrifice and remember!
After years of disrepair, the tombstone gradually disappeared, leaving only a cemetery of about 50 square meters. And this blank loess not only buried the bones of national heroes, but also their heroic spirit of constantly fighting for freedom. In order to carry forward the national history and culture and show the majestic face of the "mass grave" a hundred years ago, the Babu Town People's Government of zhijin county raised funds from various sources to restore the tomb. The restored Shuixi Tomb is a large tomb with a height of 3.9 meters and a diameter of 10.8 meters, which is the largest tomb in Guizhou Province at present.
