Chapter 575 Yuba

The ancient and mottled city wall spans between the mountains and the sea. In the middle of the city wall is a two-story city tower. In the center of the city tower hangs a huge plaque with the words "No. 1 Pass in the World". up.

Xian'er has never seen such a magnificent building. She was a little lost for a while, and woke up after a while, pulling Shen Long's sleeve and asking, "Brother Chuanwen, after passing this pass, we will be outside the pass? Then we are almost three Eguchi?"

"After passing this pass, it's indeed outside the pass, but it's still a long way to Sanjiangkou!" The soldiers at the gate stood there listlessly, with yellow and thin faces and no momentum, just like this empire that was coming to an end.

"After passing this pass, we have to go another 2,000 miles to the north, and we have only traveled a little half." It is more than 1,700 kilometers from Longkou to Harbin, and there are still more than 900 kilometers from Shanhaiguan.

"It's still that far?" Xian'er murmured, and the hand that was holding the sleeve tightened even more. Don't be afraid, as long as Brother Chuanwen is around, you won't be afraid to go there.

"Yeah, let's pass the customs quickly. After passing the customs, go outside the customs to celebrate the New Year. It can barely be regarded as spending time with your parents." Shen Long walked into the customs with Xian'er, and the soldiers guarding the gate let them pass without even looking. Yes, very different from earlier.

In the modern history of China, there have been three major waves of immigration, namely: crossing the Guandong, taking the west exit, going to Nanyang, going to the west is going, and going to the south is going to the sea. Why do we need to use the word Chuang when going to the Guandong? That's because before the Kanto people were strictly forbidden to enter, every time they went there, they risked their lives to break through, but now, with Tsarist Russia and Japan entering the Northeast, this ban no longer exists.

Absorbing the population in the pass to fill the Northeast is perhaps one of the few things that the Manchu Qing government did right at the end of the dynasty, right? If tens of millions of people hadn't entered the Northeast, I'm afraid the situation in the Northeast would be even worse in the future.

From ancient times to the present, there have been three roads from Guannei to Guandong. One is Lulong Road before the Tang Dynasty. The route of Lulong Road is to leave Lulongsai and go northward along the left bank of the Luanhe River, then go northward along the tributary of the Luanhe River until it crosses the Yanshan Mountains, turn eastward along the west bank of the upper reaches of the Laoha River, and go northeast along the Daling River area.

Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan on Lulong Road. The Western Han Dynasty Youbeiping and Liaoxi counties were both established and ruled on Lulong Road. The Daling River Valley in the western Liaoning area also became the de facto ruling center of the Central Plains Dynasty in the Northeast.

The second road is the Gubei Road. With the rise of Xi and Khitan in the Xilamulun River Basin north of Yanshan in the late Tang Dynasty, the Gubei Road suddenly emerged, got rid of the original rugged and dangerous state, and gradually replaced the Lulong Road. original position.

The starting point of the Gubei Road is Xijin Prefecture in Nanjing, Liaoning Province, which is today's capital city. It passes through Shunyi County and Miyun County today, crosses the Chaohe River in the north, passes through Gubeikou, crosses the Luan River in the northeast of Luanping County, and goes east to Pingquan County. The original Lulong Road met; but after going north all the way to the vicinity of Chifeng, it went up along the old Habei River to Dading Mansion in Liaozhongjing; it could also continue northward to Linhuang Mansion in Liaoshangjing.

After passing through Shanhaiguan, Shen Long and Xian'er, like most of the people passing through the Guandong, chose the Banghai Road, marched northward along the Bohai Bay towards Jinzhou, arrived at Jinzhou, and then continued northwards to Sanjiangkou through Changchun.

On New Year's Eve, they arrived at a small town on the Bohai Sea. Shen Long naturally didn't want Xian'er to suffer outside for the New Year's Eve, so he spent money to find an inn to stay and let them boil water and take a good bath.

"Okay, just look at it!" Xiao Er replied, happily took the money that Shen Long threw in the past and went to work. The people who broke through the Guandong can't celebrate the New Year at home.

During the Chinese New Year, they still have to travel, so this inn is still open.

"Taking a good bath is comfortable and comfortable. Let's rest on the first day of the new year, and we will leave after the second day." After all, it is also Chinese New Year, and it will be too hard to rush on the first day of the new year.

Both Xian'er and Shen Long felt comfortable after taking a bath. They were warmed by the fire in the house, which was many times more comfortable than sleeping in the open in the wilderness.

Sitting on the kang and talking gossip, I heard the owner of the inn knock on the door outside. When I opened the door, the owner was holding a tray with two big bowls of dumplings and a jug of wine on it. on the table, and then cupped his hands and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, I wish you two New Year's greetings, I wish you both good health, peace and happiness."

"Boss, you are being polite. I wish you good fortune and good health for your whole family." Those who celebrate Chinese New Year naturally want to say some auspicious words, and the boss is going to deliver dumplings to other guests, so he goes out after saying a few words.

Shen Long put the tray on the kang table, "Xian'er, come here, let's kowtow to our parents first, and then eat dumplings together." The two kowtowed to the north first, and then kowtowed to their hometown , "Father, mother, it's Chinese New Year, we have already passed the Shanhaiguan Pass, and we wish you a happy new year! I wish the family safe and sound, and my parents are healthy and healthy, and bless us to Kanto safely...".

"Brother Chuanwen, my bowl is a bit too much. I can't finish it. Let me share some with you!" After kowtowing, Xian'er gave Shen Long a few dumplings in her bowl. I couldn't help swallowing my saliva.

"I'll try it first." Shen Long picked up a dumpling and chewed it carefully, but he didn't notice anything unusual. There are many unscrupulous shops along the way, so you have to be careful.

"It doesn't suit my taste, you should eat these!" Shen Long took back the dumplings given by Xian'er, and gave her a few more. If Xian'er wanted to return them, Shen Long insisted on the standard, I struggled for a while.

After two days of rest, Shen Long and Xian'er walked north again on the first morning of the second day. After walking for a few days, Xian'er's face became more and more sad, "Brother Chuanwen, we are almost running out of money and food It's almost gone, why don't you sell this stick to buy food?"

"Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's talk about it when it is almost exhausted!" Now that we have entered the northeast, the right side of the road is the Bohai Sea, and the left side is the deep mountains and old forests. It is no wonder that such a place can starve to death.

Passing by a town that day, Shen Long asked Xian'er to rest in the Taoist temple outside the town, and ran outside to see if he could get some wild game to exchange for food in the town.

He didn't have such a keen sense of smell as Monkey King, and he wandered around for a while before he picked up a few pheasants. When he returned to the town, he saw a group of people surrounding the Taoist temple, and the leader was smiling, "A big girl named Xianlingling, It's like a flower, it's really painful, go, go back with Fifth Master to eat delicious food and drink spicy food!"

Hearing this voice, Shen Long was delighted, hey, did you meet a bully?
