Why does this "town" take Northwest Military Defense?

"Guyuan Town" sounds like a small town.

However, this "town" is not the other "town". In the Ming Dynasty, the "town" could be described as a "heavy town". At that time, in order to consolidate the border defense, the nine major military towns were set up along the Great Wall, commonly known as the "nine sides". In this Ningxia region, which is not large in geographical area, it ranks second in nine.

In fact, the initial Jiuzhen did not have Guyuan Town, but in Shaanxi Town.

The first soldiers in Shaanxi Town were stationed in Huicheng (now Xi'an). If there was warfare ahead, the guards were moved to Guyuan.

However, this "two ends" did not last long.

Later, the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty often went south to the Yinchuan Plain, and even went south to Guyuan. As the "Guanzhong Portal", once Guyuan lost, there will be no Ningzi in Shaanxi. As a result, Guyuan Town's status was prominent.

Guyuan Town is located in the middle of the three major military towns of Yansui, Ningxia and Gansu. In 1474 AD, the court specialists of the court served as the "three sides of the three sides", stationed to prevent the original city, and unified the military affairs of the three towns. The overall system of the rear three sides became customized.

Historical records, one unicorn, three phoenixes, and nine tigers, one general system, three governors, and nine general soldiers on the wall of the general system of the three sides. It shows that Guyuan at that time was actually the command center responsible for the entire Northwest military defense.

What's more interesting is that more than 50 people have been served as three sides, most of them can be poetic, which can be described as the combination of "military generals" and "border poets".

Shi Maohua, who was once the general system of Guyuan Triangle, wrote in "Fangqiu Passing the Eight Battalion Muer Garden": "The horse riders is like a cloudy field, and Jinghongyao passes through Siyuanfei." Vividly described the soldiers of the Bian "The scene.

The poem of the general system of Guyuan on the three sides of the three sides Wang Qiong used the poem "I am a solitary recruitment division, and the prisoners on the sun, and the prisoner of the prisoner", expressing the heroic mood of the invasion on the way to the "anti -autumn".

The sword light sword shadow of "Guyuan Town" has been dim, and the drum corner is far away. Today's Guyuan is a new home for Songtao and livelihood under the Lungshan Mountain!
