"I only know so much about Chongyang," Gu Nanshan said.
"After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Lantern Division followed the Song Dynasty all the way across the river, but did not decline due to this. Instead, it ended the Southern Song Dynasty and strengthened its own influence. Because after the Southern Song Dynasty, various civil forces stirred and gave Ning. The family took this opportunity to reintegrate. Later on to Mengyuan, the Ning family split for the first time. Some people think that the change of dynasties has no effect on the Ning family. It is nothing more than to worship another emperor. Others think The Hua Yi debate cannot be put down. The emperor of the new dynasty is not the emperor of China, and the Ning family cannot do anything with the Meng Yuan court. This split greatly weakened the power of the Ning family. Since then, it has been divided into three branches, one following When Lu Xiufu died in Yashan, one of them moved to Hainan, no longer worrying about the longevity plan, but the other one stayed at the Meng Yuan court to work.
"Which one is from my ancestor?" I asked.
"It doesn't matter which one, because the two remaining Ning families finally merged. The so-called Hulu had no luck for a hundred years. The Meng Yuan court was overthrown in less than a hundred years and moved northward. But the Ning family in Hainan They could not escape from the world, but they were always concerned about the situation in the Central Plains. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, the Hainan Ning family had a brave and courageous patriarch, resolutely took the family to the north, and took the family wealth to invest in Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just captured Yingtian. Prescient."
I recalled that the Patriarch of the Ning family was indeed bold and courageous. When he returned to the Central Plains with his clan from the north, Meng Yuan seemed to be out of luck, and among the many separatist kings in the south, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just won Yingtian, was relatively weak and faced with enemies from all sides. Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and Yuan Jun were still watching.
"Later, in the process of Zhu Yuanzhang destroying Chen and Han, unifying Jiangnan, establishing the country, and calming the world, the Ning family's children have contributed a lot. Therefore, the Ning family is different from the wealthy Shen Wansan who also voted for Zhu Yuanzhang. The Shen family is a lamb to be slaughtered. , And the Ning family has really built up some strength for the country. As for the one in the north, it has already bet on both sides, one Nantou, one follow the north, in short, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, follow the trend. The Ning family in the north After the confluence, the Ning family once again had the resources of the Longevity Plan and official support. In the Ming Dynasty, the Ning family had a clear and philosophical way to protect themselves. They took the initiative to withdraw from the imperial controversy and devote themselves to the longevity plan. Be kind to scholar-bureaucrats.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ning family saw that the situation in the world could not be acted upon. Once again, there was a dispute among the clan. This time no one was willing to work for the Manchu people in the north. One traveled far to the South Seas, and no longer cared about the situation in the Central Plains. The other one lingered for the longest time until Nanming was about to fall. Seeing major things could not be done, they were unwilling to flee with the incompetent group of Nanming Central Center. In the end, they went to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and moved to Tibet as a Han Chinese to settle down. Of these three, the Ning family’s orthodoxy is still the Tibetan one, because they have followed the center for the longest time, and the foundation of the longevity plan is mostly in their hands. In terms of strength, it should be the one that went to Southeast Asia. They picked up the sea trade again and held the fleet in their hands. The children were spreading out in various places in Nanyang. As for the one who wanted to be obedient, it was still a bit energetic. In the end, even the obedient did not make it. In the three massacres of Jiading, the whole family died.
As for the Nanyang family, it became a family of half caravans and half pirates on the seas of East Asia. Finally, in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the sea ships in the family were overturned by the Western fleet, and it was considered the first group of people in Nanyang to open their eyes to the world . At the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the domestic scholar-bureaucrats were still arguing about the immutability of Chinese and Western styles and the immutability of the ancestral law, the Nanyang Ning family already wanted to overthrow the imperial power. We must know that the mainstream domestic thought at that time was still the immutable law of the ancestors. Later, there were Chinese and Western styles, reforms, constitutional monarchy, and finally the reform of the Ming republic.
Therefore, this Chi Ning family is considered to be the first overseas Chinese to provide support to the Chinese Communist Party members, and many children within the clan died in the anti-Qing struggles before the Xinhai Geming. But at this time, the Nanyang Ning family has no intention of restarting the longevity plan. First, although the Nanyang Ning family is very powerful, after more than two hundred years of time, only a few households in the family still know the existence of the longevity plan, and most of them have many people. Already know nothing. The second reason is that the Ning family, who mastered the longevity plan, lived high on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, while the Nanyang Ning family lived overseas. The Qing Dynasty locked the country for a hundred years, and the two have long been separated. The third is the national crisis in modern times. The Nanyang Ning family is dedicated to expelling the Tartars. In the age of national turmoil, of course, they have no intention of looking at some ridiculous longevity plan.
As for the main branch of the Ning family on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, they have long since gone down the mountain unintentionally, living on the plateau, sitting and watching the world.
The general trend is vast, but there will eventually be heroes who will provoke the general trend. The Ning family can pass on the longevity plan for thousands of years with the power of a family. Almost every key point in history, there will be people with vision and skill to change the situation. And the person who appeared this time was a member of Nanyang Ning's family, named Ning Hanqing.
At that time, the Nanyang Ning family, after more than two hundred years of development, was no longer the smallest group that separated from the Ming Ning family to escape foreign rule. In Nanyang and even the southeast coast, its children, branches, and footprints Its breadth has far surpassed any period in history. Moreover, its strong support for the Revolutionary Ming Party made it finally occupy a place in the National Government.
It's such a huge family. Ning's history is just one of the unknown ones, but it has also studied abroad. After returning to China, he didn't know what he had experienced and tried to pick up the longevity plan again.
What is the situation of the longevity plan at this time? The rich heritage from the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties was either sunk in the sea crossing, or lost in the sound of horseshoes, or turned into dust and mud with the destruction of the family, or was taken to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau without seeing the sun. As for the folk forces that were once gathered by the Ning family, the Taoist monk, the corpse-shoveler Fang Xiangshi, or the Bai family witch doctor, they are scattered all over the world.
Ning Hanqing eventually took advantage of the National Government to establish a secret investigation bureau. The difficulties and obstacles, the anger and anger, are no longer known at this time. However, it took advantage of the Nanyang Ning family's power in the National Government, and then obtained the support of the Qinghai-Tibet Ning family, but it was what it should have been, and then gathered all the forces. It was at this time that the Gu family was brought into the subordinate of Ning Hanqing. Twenty-four years before and after the Secret Investigation Bureau, from south to north, most of the projects have failed, but they have also gained a lot. Among them, the most influential and the most distant ones are Changning in Guangxi, Qionglai in Sichuan, and Longshan in Daxinganling. . In 1949, the situation changed abruptly again. Fortunately, as a modern family, the Ning family bet on the Three Caves of the Rabbit in multiple ways, which was already skillfully used in the late Song Dynasty. Therefore, the Ning family not only did not decline because of the collapse of the Republic of China, but because the new government opened up. In a unified and peaceful environment. After the peaceful recovery of Tibet, the Qinghai-Tibet Ning family can no longer stand on their feet, and the main force of the Nanyang Ning family has been driven out of the country. The Ning family in the mainland is mainly based on the Ning history and settled in Beijing, which is your Beijing Ning family. .
But this is only on the surface, secretly, don't forget why Ning Hanqing was quickly accepted by the new government, not only because of his long sleeves and good dance, but also because of the multiple bets of Nanyang Ningjia. Most of the children in the family followed from Yan'an to Beijing, just to avoid suspicion, completely cut off from the Ning history and the Nanyang Ning family, but it does not mean that this force does not exist, and for the time being called the isolated Ning family.
Ning Hanqing is the person who connects these multiple forces. After his death, the Ning family in Beijing completely shrank, and the main branch of Qinghai-Tibet returned to the shelf of an outsider. Although the Nanyang Ning family extended its tentacles back to the mainland, it was also There is no connection between Beijing and Qinghai. As for the isolated Ning family that was hidden from official officials, Ning Hanqing rarely showed up directly at the time. After Ning Hanqing left, he completely regarded the three folks as nothing. "
When Gu Nanshan said this, his eyes were still looking at me, "So, you are only accepted by the Beijing Ningjia. Although there is already a lot of power you can use, it is not enough." (End of this chapter)
