The king’s village, the elephant’s garden.
The alley of cranes is the king of rebellion.
On the stage of history, you will sing and I will appear.
The history of this city is inextricably linked to the national destiny of the former empire.
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty and the end of the Southern Ming Dynasty,
The last king crossed south and fled to Fuzhou,
The history of the temporary imperial capital and temporary palace,
Always in a hurry, always in a moment.
There was also a time when the empire was founded.
There were civil servants in the court who were active in the book business and promoted writing, and later returned to their hometown in honor.
A military commander, thousands of miles away, scolded Fang Qiu, pointed out the country, and then settled in Rongcheng.
Time goes round and round,
Now we stand at a crossroads,
To the south is Xiangyuan and to the north is Wangzhuang.
The prosperity of the city has no trace of the past.
The king's village, the elephant's garden,
The general who surrendered, the king who rebelled.
The story of Wangzhuang and Xiangyuan begins with a military commander.
This general is Geng Zhongming.
In the early Qing Dynasty, there were three feudal lords: Wu Sangui, king of Pingxi, Shang Kexi, king of Pingnan, and Geng Zhongming, king of Jingnan.
Geng Zhongming, a famous general who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, defected to Huang Taiji.
He led the Qing cavalry and the Qing Ming army to enter the pass.
Destroyed the Chuang King Li Zicheng and invaded the Central Plains southward. Jiangnan,
Geng Zhongming rode a Hummer to make great achievements and established a career.
How many Chinese territories were included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
Geng Zhongming was very prosperous at that time.
Perhaps he did not understand the regime under Dorgon's regency.
Or perhaps he forgot the sentence "Not me" Different races, their hearts must be different.”
Perhaps in the halo of glory,
He forgot that "the bird is gone, the bow is hidden, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked."
That year, 1649,
Geng Zhongming was in great glory. The Han army raised the yellow flag and was granted the title of King of Jingnan.
It was also this year.
Because Geng Zhongming's subordinates were hiding fugitives and were implicated in the case,
he hanged himself in Ji'an, Jiangxi.
Success is also Xiao He, failure is also Xiao He.
The Qing Dynasty was his Bole, or his executioner.
Repeat the story of the bird disappearing and the bow hiding in history.
Shunzhi took charge of the government,
At the beginning of the founding of the country, military generals were needed.
In order to win over people's hearts again,
Isolated the Dorgon faction,

It was also this year that the Geng family regained the glory bestowed by the empire.
Geng Jimao, the son of Geng Zhongming, inherited the title of "King of Jingnan".
After opening up territory for the Qing Dynasty and wiping out the remaining forces of the Southern Ming Dynasty,
In the 17th year of Shunzhi, Geng Jimao moved to Fujian and took control of Fuzhou.
After Geng Jimao's death, his son Geng Jingzhong inherited his title.
Two generations began to build "Geng Wangzhuang".
Wangzhuang and Xiangyuan became It is the product of Geng Wangzhuang.
Wangzhuang, that is the village of King Geng,
white walls and black tiles, pavilions,
dancing pavilions and singing platforms, small bridges and flowing water.
People on the swings on the wall were laughing and talking, and there was a moment of glory and wealth.
King Geng, who was Geng Jingzhong at that time,
had a halo above his head and made great achievements in founding the country.
Separated the territory of Fujian and settled in a corner.
Elephant Garden, that is King Geng’s garden,
There are elephants from far away in the garden,
The elephants are Indian elephants,
The vassal king raised an elephant, which destined this place to be extraordinary.
The elephant implies good luck and good luck.
In ancient times, the owner of the mountain was Ding, and the water was the owner of money.
The elephant It can absorb water and Qi, which is to protect wealth and precious things.
The elephant is in the elephant garden, which symbolizes nobility.
The king is in Wangzhuang, which means the power of implication.
A few years later, in the twelfth year of Kangxi,
that "order to withdraw the vassal",
Geng Jingzhong in Wangzhuang, India in the Elephant Garden Xiang,
It’s better to wait for the empire’s sanctions.
At this time, Geng Jingzhong was still full of vigor.
He did not want his grandfather Geng Zhongming’s fate of "catching up all the birds and hiding them behind" to happen to him again.
That year , Geng Jingzhong led the army to fight against the Qing Dynasty,
The Rebellion of the Three Feudatories began,
Kangxi spent many years keeping a low profile, working hard and strategizing.
At this time,
The Qing Dynasty was a Daozu, and King Geng was a fish.
Geng Jingnan King Geng Jingzhong was defeated.
From then on,
there was no more king in the Wangzhuang, and no more elephants in the Elephant Garden.
It can be said that in the old days, the king Xietang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people.
Now,
passing Shiou Wangzhuang and strolling through Xiangyuan Street,
this land,
the old houses are hard to find. Place names contain deep history.
