In the Ming Dynasty, Huilong Ancient Temple, one of the ten scenic spots in Wei County, was included in Daming Mansion Records, also known as "Ancient Temple Lingyan", and many local officials in Wei County wrote poems for it. Huilong Ancient Temple should be to commemorate the event of Song Zhenzong's burial, but as Huilong Ancient Temple has disappeared from the world and there is no unearthed physical evidence, it is impossible to know the construction time and specific situation of this temple. During the reign, Liang Moment, instructed by Wei County, wrote the poem Huilong Ancient Temple as follows:

The land wins Huilong as a giant town, the ancient temple in Linjiang is happy, the distant house in Maolin is smoky and green, and the Han plaque is magnificent, praying for the people, passing by as a pot, and running water in front of the door all night. The incense burner smokes for a long time,

Return to the dragon and shine again.

One of the eight wonders of Linzhang County in Qing Dynasty. Huilong in Qing Dynasty was a big market town under the jurisdiction of "two provinces, four counties and one state". Its West Street is under the jurisdiction of Linzhang County. At that time, in order to prevent bandits, there were villages in big towns and villages, and there was a stone horizontal plaque on the gate of Xizhai in Huilong, which was polished very smoothly. Whenever the sun sets and dusk covers the earth, you can see the shadow of the sun on this stone tablet. It is said that this gate is facing the gap between the two peaks of Taihang Mountain, and it is called "the return of the dragon".

Where there is no sunset,

Huilong ancient town is more entertaining,

Thousands of pavilions are full of strings,

Hanging upside down on the wine stove in the sunset.

It is a portrayal of this landscape.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, "returning the dragon to the light" was one of the eight wonders of Linzhang. Li Changgeng, a scholar in the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, a magistrate of Huimin County in Fujian, Xu Xiangcen, a juren in Linzhang in the reign of Kangxi, and Chen Daxuan and Li Yifang, two magistrates in Linzhang in the reign of Yongzheng, all wrote poems for the spectacle of "Returning the Dragon to the Light". Among them, Chen Dajun, the magistrate of Linzhang County who took office in the sixth year of Yongzheng, wrote a poem "Returning to Long Zhaohui":

Feng Dan hides a thousand pavilions, and the rain returns to Zhao Hong after the village gathers.

Jia Kechi returned to the place where the fallen leaves returned to their roots and recruited people to stay and chase Hong Fei.

Xiao Yun looks north at Huang Du Village, and Ye Ping looks east at Daichong.

The ancient town is bounded by abundance, and Xiaguang is in a painting.

Two provinces, four counties and one state

Huilong is located in the hinterland of Central Plains. Historically, the Yellow River, Weihe River and Zhanghe River all flowed through Huilong. Here, land and water transportation is convenient, things enrich the people and commerce is prosperous. It is not only a strategist and businessman, but also a battleground for local administrative divisions. Huilong has been under the jurisdiction of two provinces, two governments, four counties and one state for hundreds of years in Ming, Qing and Republic of China. Namely Hebei (Shi Jing or Zhili) and Henan provinces; Daming and Zhang De; One state refers to Kaizhou (now Puyang). Hebei was called Shi Jing in Ming Dynasty and Zhili in Qing Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, Linzhang County was under the jurisdiction of Zhang De. Wei County was once included in daming county. Therefore, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, huilong town West Street was under the jurisdiction of Linzhang, North Street was under the jurisdiction of daming county, South Street was under the jurisdiction of Anyang County, and East Street was under the jurisdiction of Neihuang County. In addition, there is a gentleman in Kaizhou who owns 30 mu of land under the jurisdiction of Huilong. Therefore, the history of Huilong is recorded in the above-mentioned counties. After liberation, Huilong was all placed under Wei County.

The end of robbers

Before liberation, the situation in the whole country was turbulent, with warlords fighting and chaos. Coupled with the invasion of Japanese imperialism, a large number of puppet troops and bandit armed forces were born. There are also many bandits in southern Hebei and northern Henan, among which Guo Qing in Linzhang and Wang Ziquan in Anyang have great influence. The four counties in huilong town belong to different jurisdictions, and their jurisdictions are chaotic, which naturally becomes an excellent soil for bandits to occupy. As soon as he got back to Longyi Town, Cheng Ximeng, Cheng Gan (Cheng Gan) and Guo Dehui couldn't hold on, and they became formidable bandits' nests. They keep close contact with bandits around them, and their existence seriously affects the social stability in southern Hebei and northern Henan. Later, with the help of the Japanese army, the "East Asian Union Autonomous Army" was established in huilong town. By the commander, Cheng Ximeng as deputy commander, brigade commander, Cheng Gan as brigade commander, under the second brigade, there are two heads, Guo Dehui, and three brigades, four brigades, Yang and another commando team. Bandits dominate one side and kill innocent people, which is strongly opposed and hated by the people.

Guo Dehui was captured in the battle of Chu and Wang in April 1947, and was executed on April 23rd 1947.

Li Chenghua is the heart of the Puppet Army. He supported * * * and made many contributions to the Eighth Route Army. Before the puppet army was founded, it was 1938, the anti-Japanese guerrilla captain of Anyang county, and 1942 joined * * *. 1On May 9, 943, he was deceived to Handan and killed by the Japanese army because of the traitor's informer. Later, he was chased as a revolutionary martyr.

Chen Zaidao Free Combat Huilong

General Chen Zaidao commanded three campaigns to attack Huilong, namely, the Zhang Nan campaign on August 27th 1942,165438+1October 2nd, and the northern Henan campaign on April 6th 1947.

The first time was in the Battle of Zhang Nan. From August to September in 1938, the Eighth Route Army fought back against the puppet troops and bandits in southern Hebei and northern Henan with 129 and15 divisions, and then established the anti-Japanese democratic government of Anyang County in huilong town. The second time, in view of the serious situation that the pseudo-"East Asian Union Autonomous Army" has been occupying our base area, our army launched a counterattack against it. 1942 10 At the end of the year, Chen Zaidao called several leading comrades in the group to have a meeting to study how to attack huilong town next. Huilong town is the junction of the southern Hebei Military Region and the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region. This is also a big town at the southern end of a division. It is the main stronghold of the habitual bandit Cheng Ximeng, with more than 600 people. Cheng Ximeng is the deputy commander of the pseudo "East Asian Union Autonomous Army". His son Cheng is the brigade commander of the Second Brigade, nicknamed "Half Brick". Their father and son did whatever they wanted with the support of the Japanese. A division comrade-in-arms sent people to fight for Cheng Ximeng many times, but he just wouldn't listen. He also actively cooperated with the Japanese army in "mopping up", wantonly killing cadres and soldiers of the First Division and plundering people's property. In September, the main forces of the first and third divisions hit him once and failed to annihilate him. This time, I am determined to storm back to Liuzhou and eradicate this scourge.

1942165438+1On the evening of October 2, the battle to storm huilong town started. Soldiers carrying ladders, under the guidance of a guide selected by a division, drove straight to huilong town. The sound of machine guns and the explosion of grenades were deafening. After the cavalry broke through the East Gate, they fought from East Street to West Street and attacked Cheng Ximeng's house. After the 20th regiment attacked from the south gate, it confronted the main forces of the puppet troops. The enemy used bunkers and houses along the street to resist. After a night of fierce fighting, most of the enemy troops were annihilated, more than 500 people were captured and a large number of weapons, ammunition and military supplies were seized. Cheng Ximeng and his son fled to Anyang with a few people. This battle played a great role in opening up a division. 165438+1October 3, General Chen Zaidao led his troops into huilong town. There are many shops, shops and restaurants on the wide street. Chen Zaidao said, "I haven't been in town long, but this time I have opened my eyes again." .
