A knife in love

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard Songshan Yilu say in a deep voice: "The people with the nine surnames were originally Han people. They fled to Fusang at the end of the Song Dynasty and have lived in Fusang for more than a hundred years. When they fled from the middle land in a hurry, many People’s parents, wives and children didn’t have time to escape, and either died under the knife of the Tartars and became vain ghosts, or fell into the sea and died in the belly of a fish, and those who survived were taken into slavery by the Tartars, and the experience was even more miserable. The nine-surnamed people in Tiantian were afraid that the Tartars would not let them go, so they sent soldiers and horses to pursue them, so they fled to Fusang and concealed their identities, daring not to reveal their whereabouts. Lu Ke escaped, so they all moved to the boat and made a living by fishing. In this way, even if someone wanted to harm them, they could escape by boat. Moreover, they were worried that someone in the clan would leak their mouths and leak their history. Therefore, they concealed their origins and did not tell the children in the clan about the origins of each family. After decades, except for the patriarchs of each family and a few elders, the younger generation did not know their origins at all. .”

Hearing what Songshan Yilu said, Li Qiufeng became suspicious, thinking that when Miss Murong was telling the origin of the family with the nine surnames, she once said that the ancestors of the family with the nine surnames were all generals of Chen Youliang, but this old guy said as soon as he opened his mouth. The family of the nine surnames fled to Fusang from the middle of the Song Dynasty at the end of the Song Dynasty. It is quite different from the legend about the family of the nine surnames told by Miss Murong.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard Songshan Yilu go on to say: "In fact, the ancestors of the family with nine surnames were all officials of the Song Dynasty. At the end of the Song Dynasty, the Tartars went south in a large scale, and their soldiers pointed directly at Lin'an. The traitor Jia Sidao controlled the government. Over the years, the elimination of dissidents and the appointment of treacherous villains as officials have made the Song court in a precarious state. This time the Tartars are attacking with all their strength, and the Song army can't resist it at all. Xiangyang, which once killed the Tartar Khan Mengge The defenders surrendered, and the Tartars went straight to Lin'an. The kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty had to flee Lin'an and went out to sea by boat. They were chased by the Tartars to Yashan.

"In the Battle of Yashan, the entire 20 Song army was annihilated. The last emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Bing, was thrown into the sea by his minister Lu Xiufu and committed suicide. , the situation was extremely miserable, and the Song Dynasty fell. However, although the Song Dynasty was destroyed, there were still many loyal ministers and good generals of the Song Dynasty who refused to submit to the Tartars. Restoration of the Great Song Dynasty. Some refused to be the subjects of the Tartars, and took their families to sea to escape from the middle land. Among the survivors of the Great Song Dynasty who sailed to the sea, there were nine officials of the Great Song Dynasty, who were later the nine-surnamed family After Lin'an was captured by the Tartars, these nine officials fled back to their hometown, intending to call the township party to fight against the Tartars, but before they set up an uprising flag, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was killed in Yashan, and the nine people heard about it After that, I cried a lot, knowing that the situation was irreversible, but it was more uncomfortable to ask them to be the subjects of the Tatars than to kill them. After discussing with the nine people, they decided to take advantage of the fact that the Tartars were busy conquering the remaining Song troops. When the coastal pier was closed, they set sail with their parents, wife, children, and clansmen to find a safe island to live in. They thought that although the Tartars destroyed the Song Dynasty, these barbarians were cruel and tyrannical, and they would not occupy the middle land for a long time. Sooner or later, they will be driven back to their hometown in Mobei. At that time, it will not be too late for the Jiu family to return to Zhongtu.

"After the nine people took their parents, wives, children, and clansmen to the sea, they wandered on the sea for dozens of days, and finally arrived in Fusang. They have lived in Fusang ever since. They had to beware of the Tartars chasing troops to Fusang, as well as Fusang officers and soldiers. They did not dare to live on land, but lived on boats and lived by fishing. More than a hundred years later, the nine-surnamed people who fled from Zhongtu to Fusang died cleanly and stayed in the The people in Fusang are all their descendants. Except for the patriarchs and elders of the clans, the clansmen of the other nine surnames knew that they were Han Chinese from the middle land, but they had no idea that their ancestors were once officials of the Song Dynasty. He fled to Fusang to hide after he was chased and killed.

"Although the family of the nine surnames lives in Fusang, they have not forgotten that they are citizens of the Song Dynasty, and they still regard the Emperor Zhao Song as the Lord. Every year on February [-], the families of the nine surnames will gather together to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony, and on February [-] It was the day when Zhao Bing, the last emperor of the Song Dynasty, ascended the throne and became emperor. During the battle at Yashan, the tartars attacked the navy of the Song army with fire. Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the minister Lu Xiufu committed suicide by jumping into the sea with Zhao Bing on his back. The family of nine surnames fled to Fusang Afterwards, in order to commemorate Zhao Bing, who committed suicide and died for his country, a large ceremony was held on February [-]th every year, just in order not to leak the news, under the guise of the ancestor worship ceremony. The old man once sent someone secretly to the water village of the family of the nine surnames to inquire about the news , I have seen the appearance of the sacrifice ceremony of the family of the nine surnames. It is said that every February [-]th, all the members of the nine families gather in the water village, and hang [-] pictures on the high platform set up for the worship of the nine surnames. Among them, the picture hanging on the highest place is Zhao Bing, the late emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the two portraits hanging side by side three feet below it are the civil servant Lu Xiufu and the military general Zhang Shijie. Lu Xiufu threw himself into the sea with Zhao Bing on his back. In the national system, Zhang Shijie led the Song army to fight to the death with the Tartars. They would rather die than surrender. They are all loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty. And there is a picture under the portraits of Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie, which is the loyal minister Wen Tianxiang. In Wen Tianxiang Below the portraits hang nine pictures lined up, depicting the nine officials of the Song Dynasty who fled to Fusang with their parents, wives, children and clan members, they are the nine ancestors of the family with nine surnames."

When Li Qiufeng heard Songshan Yilu say this, he suddenly realized that the scene of Chen Ping talking to him, Murong Danyan and Ye Fengchun that day flashed before his eyes.I remember that Chen Ping said to the three people at that time that every February [-]th is a big day for our family of nine surnames. The children of Shuizhai must participate.It's a pity that the next few people are the fourth and fifth generation nephews and nephews of the Chen family, and they are almost at the bottom of the uncles and brothers of the same family. It is not clear what the elders of the nine families are doing on the platform set up on the wooden boat.I just heard from the elders of the same clan that there are [-] pictures hanging on the wooden platform, the picture in the middle is the tallest, and it depicts a child in a yellow robe.There is a picture on the left and right sides of the child. In the picture on the left is a civil servant with a long beard and elegant face.Although these two paintings are hung high together with the middle one, they are three feet lower than the middle one.And before these three pictures, there is another picture, which depicts a high-crowned scribe.Before this picture, there are nine pictures hanging in a row. It is said that the characters painted in these nine pictures are the ancestors of our family with nine surnames.
