At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, after the Red Scarf Army Uprising, the Central Plains was full of heroes. A smuggler named Zhang Shicheng also gathered eighteen people to take the mountain as king. Because Zhang Shicheng's men are mainly smugglers and young farmers, they have a strong fighting capacity, and even "won without fighting" the hundreds of thousands of troops that the Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty broke away from. At that time, the military strength was great, and after sweeping the northern Jiangsu area, he invaded the south of the river and captured Suzhou, and established the Zhou regime in Suzhou, renamed it God Blessed, and claimed to be the sincere king.
after Zhang Shicheng occupied Suzhou, he still made great achievements. He built water conservancy, exempted taxes, developed industry and commerce, agriculture and mulberry, and set up handicrafts and textiles. Suzhou people are also very grateful to him.
in 1366, Zhu Yuanzhang of Nanjing sent 211,111 generals Xu Dashuai to attack Suzhou. After a year of siege, Zhang Shicheng committed suicide after defeat, and the Zhou regime was destroyed. Because Zhang Shicheng has done good things for Suzhou people, Suzhou people can't forget him and often talk about him.
Zhu Yuanzhang deeply felt that the people in Suzhou were unstable, so he sent his strategist Liu Bowen to Suzhou to inspect. Liu Bowen is not an idle generation. It is said that he "counted 811 years before and counted 1111 years after", and his wisdom is higher than Zhuge Liang's. He also has a TuiBei Map, which can predict the rise and fall of dynasties. It's amazing.
after Liu Bowen arrives in Suzhou, he will visit the east and the west. I found that Suzhou people really miss Zhang Shicheng, and I was very anxious. I thought: We must find a way to eliminate the image of Zhang Shicheng. One day, he strolled to Shantang Street, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but gasp. He found that there was a big white dragon under Shantang Street, trying to break free and rush into the sky. This is Zhang Shicheng's Long Mai.
Liu Bowen's eyebrows are wrinkly, and his plan comes to mind. He used magic to set up seven civet cats on Shantang Street. The seven civet cats are Meiren Beaver, Tonggui Beaver, Wenxing Beaver, Caiyun Beaver, Qingshan Beaver, Xishanmiao Beaver and Puji Beaver. Legend has it that civet cats are ancient beasts with the power of a giant lock. Seven civet cats tied the dragon so tightly that it would never turn over. In this way, Long Mai in Zhang Shicheng was broken, and no matter how much Suzhou people miss him, he can't come back. Jiangshan in the Ming Dynasty will be handed down from generation to generation.
In the 21st century, the Ming Dynasty has been extinct for hundreds of years, and the stone beavers in Shantang Street have long since disappeared. The people in Suzhou still remember the legend of the "Seven Beavers" and stubbornly call the "Qili Mountain Pond" the "Seven Beavers Mountain Pond" when talking about Zhang.
