The old mottled city wall is between the mountains and the sea, the middle of the city wall is a two-storey city tower, there is a huge plaque hanging in the center of the city tower, the book "the first pass in the world" five words, this is the Shanhaiguan that separates the inside and outside of the pass.

Xian'er had never seen such a spectacular building, and she was a little distracted for a while, and it took a while to wake up, pull Shen Long's sleeve and ask, "Brother Chuanwen, after passing this pass, you are outside the gate?" Are we almost at the mouth of the Sanjiang River? ”

"After passing this pass, it is indeed outside the pass, but it is still far from the mouth of the three rivers!" The soldiers at the door stood there listlessly, with yellow faces and thin muscles, without the slightest momentum, as if this empire was almost at the end of its life.

"After this pass, we will go two thousand miles north, and we have only walked a little half." It is more than 1,700 kilometers from Longkou to Harbin, and more than 900 kilometers from Shanhaiguan.

"And that far?" Xian'er muttered, and the hand pulling the sleeve tighter, not afraid, as long as Brother Chuanwen is there, he is not afraid to go there.

"Yes, let's hurry up and pass the customs, and go outside the customs for the New Year, and I can barely pass it with my parents." Shen Long took Xian'er into the pass, and the soldiers guarding the gate let them go without looking, which was very different from earlier.

In China's modern history, there have been three major waves of immigration, namely: going to the east of the country, going to the west exit, going to the South Sea, going to the west is walking, going to the south is going to the sea, why do you have to use the word "Chuang " when you go to the east of the country? That's because in the past, Kanto strictly forbade people to enter the Kannai, and every time it passed, they risked their lives to break through, but now, with the entry of Tsarist Russia and Japan into the Tohoku, this ban no longer exists.

Absorbing the population of Guannai to fill the Northeast may be one of the few things that the Manchu government did right at the end of the dynasty, right? If it weren't for the tens of millions of people entering the Northeast, I am afraid that the situation in the Northeast would be even more unbearable in the future.

From ancient times to the present, there are three roads to enter the eastern part of the country from the Guannai, one is the Lulong Road before the Tang Dynasty, and the pass road in the area of Xifengkou is called "Lulongsai" in the Han and Wei dynasties, and the Lulong Road is also named after it; The route of the Lulong Road is to go north along the left bank of the Luanhe River, then go north along the tributaries of the Luanhe River until it crosses the Yanshan Mountains, turns east along the west bank of the upper reaches of the Laoha River, and goes to the northeast along the Daling River.

Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan was Lulong Road, and the center of gravity of the two counties of Beiping and Liaoxi in the Western Han Dynasty was on Lulong Road, and the Daling River Valley in western Liaoning also became the de facto ruling center of the Central Plains Dynasty in the northeast.

The second road is the Gubei Road, with the rise of the Xi and Khitan Tang Dynasty in the Xilamulun River Basin north of Yanshan, the Gubei Road suddenly emerged, got rid of the original rugged and dangerous state, and gradually replaced the original status of the Lulong Road.

The starting point of Gubei Road is in Xijin Mansion, Nanjing, Liaoning, that is, today's Beijing, passing through today's Shunyi County and Miyun County, crossing the Chaohe River in the north through Gubeikou, crossing the Luanhe River in the northeast of Luanping County, and going east to Pingquan County, meeting with the original Lulong Road; But after going all the way north to the vicinity of Chifeng, it went north along the Laoha River to reach the Dading Mansion in Beijing, Liaozhong; You can also continue to go north and go directly to Linhuang Mansion in Liaoshangjing.

After Shen Long and Xian'er passed through the Shanhai Pass, like most of the people who went to the eastern part of the Guandong, they chose the Panhai Road, marched north along the Bohai Bay towards Jinzhou, and then continued north through Changchun to reach the mouth of the Sanjiang River.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, they arrived at a small town on the edge of the Bohai Sea, and after the New Year, Shen Long naturally did not want Xian'er to suffer outside, so he spent money to find an inn to live in, and let them boil water and take a good bath.

"Okay, just look at it!" Xiao Er answered, Xi Zizi took the money that Shen Long threw over, and went to work, the people who broke into the eastern part of the country could not celebrate the New Year at home, and during the New Year, they still had to hurry, so this inn is still open.

"Take a good bath and be comfortable, let's rest on the first day of the new year, and then leave on the second day of junior high school." Anyway, it's also the New Year, and it's too hard to rush on the first day of the New Year.

After Xian'er and Shen Long took a bath, they both felt comfortable, and they were warm with a fire in the house, which was many times more comfortable than sleeping in the wilderness.

Sitting on the kang and gossiping, I heard the innkeeper knocking on the door outside, and when I opened the door, the proprietor was holding a tray in his hand, on which were two large bowls of dumplings and a pot of wine, and went straight in and put it on the table through the tray, and then arched his hand, "Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, I wish you two New Year's greetings, I wish you two good health, peace and happiness." ”

"The boss is polite, and I wish you a wide range of financial resources and a healthy family." During the Chinese New Year, it is natural to say some auspicious words, and the boss has to go to deliver dumplings to other guests, so he went out after saying a few words.

Shen Long brought the tray to the kang table, "Xian'er, come, let's kowtow to our father and mother first, and then eat dumplings together." The two first kowtowed a few heads to the north, and then kowtowed a few times in the direction of their hometown, "Dad, mother, it's the New Year, we have already passed the Shanhaiguan, and we will give you a New Year's greeting!" I wish my family peace and security, my father and mother are healthy and healthy, and bless us to ...... Kanto safely".

"Brother Chuanwen, I have a bit too much bowl, I can't finish it, let's divide a few of you!" After kowtowing, Xian'er gave Shen Long a few dumplings in her bowl, smelled the fragrance of the dumplings, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

"I'll taste it first." Shen Long picked up a dumpling and chewed it carefully, he didn't eat anything unusual, there are a lot of black shops along the way, so you have to be on guard.

"It's a little different from my taste, you should eat these few!" Shen Long took back the dumplings given by Xian'er, and gave her a few more, Xian'er wanted to return them, but Shen Long was the standard and entangled for a while.

After resting for two days, early in the morning of the second day of the new year, Shen Long and Xian'er walked north again, and after walking for a few days, the sadness on Xian'er's face became heavier and heavier, "Brother Chuanwen, our money is almost gone, and the food is almost gone, why don't you sell this handful and buy food?" ”

"Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's talk about it when the money is almost gone!" Now it has entered the northeast, the right side of the road is the Bohai Sea, and the left side is the deep mountains and old forests, and it is strange that this kind of place can starve people to death.

Passing by a town on this day, Shen Long asked Xian'er to rest in the Taoist temple outside the town, and he ran outside to see if he could get some game to exchange for food in the town.

He didn't have the keen sense of smell like Sun Wukong, and it took a while to pick up a few pheasants that slipped back, and when he returned to the town, he saw a group of people surrounding the Taoist temple, and a leader was smiling there, "A big girl in Xian Lingling, like a flower, it really hurts, go, go back with the fifth master to eat fragrant and drink spicy food!" ”

Hearing this voice, Shen Long was happy, hey, did you meet a bully?
