Fengtian Dafa Temple was located at 112 Bianqiang Road, Great Eastern District. It was founded in 1415 (the 13th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty) and rebuilt in 1638 (the 3rd year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty). Because it was Nurhachi's twelfth son, Prince Ying Azik, who donated money to rebuild the temple, the abbot monks of Dafa Temple built the Eight Kings Temple on the left side of the temple to thank him for his charity. From then on, it became Azik's family temple, commonly known as the Eight Kings Temple. This was the origin of the Eight Kings Temple. Later, the temple was rebuilt and expanded in the fourth year of Qianlong and the eleventh year of Tongzhi, making it even more magnificent.
Dafa Temple faced south, with three courtyards and an area of more than 30 acres. In front of it was the mountain gate, and on the lintel hung a horizontal board with the words "Dafa Zen Forest". Inside the gate of the mountain, there were two generals, Heng and Ha, who looked mighty and tall. They looked up and saw their faces. There were bell towers and drum towers on the east and west sides. In the middle is the Hall of Heavenly Kings, in which there are statues of the Four Heavenly Kings. Behind it is the main hall to worship Sakyamuni, Bodhisattva and other Buddhas. The side hall worships the Thousand-handed Thousand-eyed Buddha and the four generals of the Mo family. The entire temple was built with brown doors, gray walls, and green tiles. The three-story hall was towering and majestic, with painted pillars and carved beams. It was extremely magnificent. During the prosperous period of the ancient temple in the Qing Dynasty, monks gathered together and there were more than 100 monks. It was one of the important Buddhist temples in Fengtian. Unfortunately, the war between Japan and Russia was destroyed in the chaos of war, and the historical sites were destroyed.
50 meters southeast of the temple, there is a clear spring, commonly known as the Eight Kings Temple Well, clear and sweet, known as the Yi Spring. According to the Records of Fengtian County,"During Kangxi's eastern tour, he led the Ming camels to carry the Yuquan water of the capital. After a long time, it settled down. He must wash it with the well water. He poured the water from the two wells into the urn and carved it to record it. He stirred it with a bamboo pole like fishing water. After a while, the Yuquan water floated on it and was as clear as before. Take it with a fishing spoon and pour it flat until it reaches the mark. The urn is half below the well spring in front of the temple, and it will no longer be used." Since then, when Emperor Qing visited the east, he drank the clear spring water of the Eight Kings Temple, so it was called the imperial water. At that time, when Shengjing was making tofu and tea, the signboard of " Eight Kings Temple Sweet Water " was hung in front of the door. In 1920, the Eight Kings Temple Soda Factory was built.
Liang Tianchao's group of a few hundred people who had gone to Fenghai to carry out the order had passed by the Dafa Temple on their way back. Liang Tianchao had suddenly decided not to return to Fengtian City. Instead, he would stay in the Dafa Temple to arrange the formation of the army. The rest of the people would escort Sheng Ying back first. They would wait until they had safely returned to Fengtian City before mobilizing a regiment of soldiers to listen to Liang Tianchao's orders!
Liang Tianchao's actions were definitely meaningful. Dafa Temple was located in the north of Fengtian City, sandwiched between the Little North Gate and the Great North Gate. There was also a slaughterhouse next to it. There was a North Tower near the front, and the north of the North Tower was the Fenghai railway. There was no doubt that if the Japanese Imperial Army and the Soviet Red Army wanted to attack Fengtian City from the north, Dafa Temple would be the first to be attacked. Liang Tianchao arranged his troops in Dafa Temple. Not only did they have to snipe the enemy at the periphery, but they also had to fight the enemy on the front line to let the enemy and the world know how powerful the Fengtian City garrison was!
Yes, Liang Tianchao had indeed seen the military map and floor plan of the Dafa Temple in Fengtian City. However, after all, virtual was virtual. No matter how real they were, they couldn't compare to coming to the Dafa Temple in person. This was why Liang Tianchao himself had to come to the Dafa Temple in person before the battle.
Although Dafa Temple was not a military site, and with the passage of time, Dafa Temple had gradually become a tourist attraction and developed in the direction of economic trends, this did not mean that Dafa Temple could not be used as a pre-war site. During the Russo-Japanese War, on March 10, 1905, the Russian army occupied the "Eight Kings Temple" and used it as a military camp, stable, and shelter. The Russian army drove away the monks, plundered their property, stripped off the golden body of the Buddha, removed the doors and windows, and burned the old pines in the courtyard. After the Japanese invaders captured Fengtian, the Russian army set fire to the Bawang Temple and fled in the direction of Santaizi. At that time, the sacred land of Buddhism and the solemn ancient temple that had been around for nearly 500 years were destroyed in an instant.
Even though the Dafa Temple could not be compared to the Old Summer Palace, it had been ravaged by the flames of war and had not been rebuilt by those in power. Therefore, Liang Tianchao, who was walking around the Dafa Temple and observing the terrain, discovered that there were many traces of destruction in the Dafa Temple. However, it was night, the middle of the night. Liang Tianchao could not figure out how these scars were caused. Of course, This problem was of course secondary to Liang Tianchao. At present, Liang Tianchao's primary task was to see how he could best deploy troops to the Dafa Temple under observation!
However, Liang Tianchao, who was alone in the Dafa Temple, secretly made up his mind. He decided that he must win a battle in the Dafa Temple and let the enemy know how powerful the bandits of Chess Board Mountain were. He could not let any humiliation happen again!
The winter in Fengtian was long, and the spring was warm and sunny. It was hot and rainy in summer. The air was humid. Autumn was short. The sky was high and the clouds were high. It was cool and pleasant to visit the temple. Liang Tianchao, who had stayed in the Dafa Temple, had already " toured " the place and remembered most of the names and locations of the Dafa Temple. Therefore, Liang Tianchao started to consider a problem, even though it was a very important problem, which was how to minimize the damage of the Dafa Temple in this battle between the enemy and the enemy!
In the eyes of the Chinese, the Soviets and the Japanese were barbaric and rude. Perhaps this view was biased and could not become a true fact. However, it was not difficult for us to know how much damage Japan and the Soviet Union had done to China from the actions of the Japanese and the Soviet Union!
Compared to the passing of time, the destruction of culture was far more destructive than the destruction of time. Treasures like the Yuanmingyuan and the Siku Quanshu, which could prove the profound Chinese culture, were basically destroyed by people. Naturally, Liang Tianchao, who understood this principle, decided to rack his brains to prevent such a situation from happening again!
There was not much time left. Liang Tianchao and the others did not have any extra time to move the treasures out of the Dafa Temple to a safe place. If Liang Tianchao and the others did that, they would be wasting their time. They were simply courting death. They had picked up a sesame seed and lost a watermelon. They would lose a big deal because of a small gain!
After all, when Liang Tianchao and his people used the strength of all the people in Fengtian City to build fortifications and change the appearance of Fengtian City, they almost did not have the time to do anything else. This meant that not only did Liang Tianchao not have the energy to move the cultural relics, but they also did not have the time to do so!
However, even so, it was a good thing that people came up with solutions. Liang Tianchao's brain was very useful. After a period of quick thinking, Liang Tianchao finally thought of some good ideas that could prevent the Dafa Temple from being destroyed by the enemy.
In fact, Liang Tianchao's method was very simple. It could be described as " strength in numbers ". In this world, everyone was a " coward ". It was just that the degree of cowardice varied. Liang Tianchao deeply believed that there was only one way to prevent the Japanese and the Soviets from destroying the Dafa Temple, and that was to exert countless amounts of pressure on them!
The society of the Republic of China was definitely an era of bandits. The northeast of China could be said to be the region with the most bandits. Most of the bandits hid in the mountains and rivers, and their whereabouts were strange. They were erratic and came and went without a trace. It could be said that they were elusive. Although bandits did not have to live like this, there was no doubt that many bandits did so!
Even a centipede would not die. The bandits of China were not to be trifled with. The bandits of China had always had a grudge against the Soviets. Liang Tianchao knew that if the Soviets and the Japanese destroyed the " white mountains and black waters " of China, then the Soviets and the Japanese would not be far from death.
Although it was impossible to prove anything that the Japanese and the Soviets wanted to destroy a Buddhist temple, rumors were terrifying. In this world, there were countless terrible things that grew from small to big before they led to terrible consequences. Thinking of this, Liang Tianchao immediately decided to write a letter and send it to the two generals of the enemy, Nanchuan Harashige and Zelinv. Naturally, Liang Tianchao did not write a letter of surrender or a letter of truce. It was a 'naked' book of advice.
Since Liang Tianchao had written a " letter of advice ", there must be countless " principles " in it to persuade people to do things. When Liang Tianchao came to Dafa Temple tonight, he had long thought that he must write down some important things with pen and paper. Therefore, Liang Tianchao must have hidden a ballpoint pen and several large pieces of folded white paper in his clothes.!
The words were like the person. Although Liang Tianchao was not a great calligrapher like Wang Xizhi, writing was one of the most important means for bandits to communicate with others. Liang Tianchao knew this very well. He knew that if his words were too ugly, it would leave a bad impression on others. Therefore, Liang Tianchao had put in a lot of effort in writing. Even if his words were not as wonderful as those of a calligrapher, it was enough to make people appreciate Liang Tianchao's words with a pleasant mood.
Moreover, Liang Tianchao believed that there was an objective factor that was helping him. It would definitely prevent the Dafa Temple from being destroyed by the war. That was, the cooperation between the Soviets and the Japanese was definitely not of the same heart and mind. This phenomenon had already created many opportunities for Liang Tianchao to take advantage of!
