A long time ago, this town often suffered from drought. Bare land is thousands of miles away, and nothing grows. People even ate up the bark and grass roots, and many people starved to death. There is a young man named Lai Jiuzhou who looks for water everywhere every day, but he can't find it. He's worried. One night, Jiuzhou dreamed that an old man said to him, "There is a treasure on Ruyun Mountain. If anyone can take it away, bury it underground for seven days, then take it out and swallow it, there will be water. But he himself ... "The old man didn't say any more. Jiuzhou woke up from a dream, thought about it, and understood what the old man meant. He thought, I must find water anyway.

After dawn, Lai Jiuzhou bid farewell to his elderly mother, took dry food and a steel fork, and headed for Yunshan. He walked for 7749 days, crossed 8864 mountain streams, climbed 998 1 cliff, and finally came to the foot of Renyun Mountain. When he looked up, he saw a shining ball engraved with waterline on the mountain, guarded by a water beast and a fire dragon, surrounded by many human bones. Despite the danger, Jiuzhou approached quietly, taking the water beast unprepared and stabbing it with a steel fork. As soon as the fire dragon saw it, it immediately spouted fire and burned Jiuzhou's clothes. Jiuzhou quickly took off his clothes and fought with the fire dragon. Finally, he stabbed the dragon and got the orb.

Jiuzhou retrieved the orb, buried it in the ground according to the old man's words, and took it out and swallowed it seven days later. That night, people heard a loud noise coming from the earth. When they came out to look, they saw a big river in front of the village. Everyone was very happy and immediately diverted water to irrigate the fields. Miao Zi was resurrected, and everything was saved, but Jiuzhou was shattered.

Later, in memory of Jiuzhou, people called this big river Jiuzhou River. A meeting at three o'clock

During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, after the defeat of the Opium War, the imperialist powers invaded China crazily and unscrupulously, and carved up our territory. The Qing government was corrupt and incompetent and surrendered to imperialism; At the same time, it strengthened the internal repression and exploitation of the people and aroused the peasant uprising led by Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the peasant movement. The Qing government and imperialism colluded with each other to suppress the Taiping Army, which led to the failure of the Taiping Army uprising. Later, the Taiping Army broke up into parts, sneaked into the underground activities, developed its strength, and waited for an opportunity to make a comeback. The three-point meeting organized by people from all over Guangdong was an underground organization after the defeat of the Taiping Army, carrying out secret activities. From 65438 to 0897, the peasant movement in Lianjiang County, located on the banks of Jiuzhou River in western Guangdong, was in full swing, rising rapidly and developing vigorously. There is a three-point meeting in Anpu Town, where local people secretly carry out underground activities.

There is a "Cao Zhi" mountain drugstore in Anpu West Street. The owner's name is Liu, and the flower number is. He is a "cyclops" and a generous quack. Good at surgery, scabies and ophthalmology. His drugstore is also a place where past guests can rest, and guests from north to south respect him very much. Because Liu is very prestigious among the local people, the people unanimously elected him as the leader of the "three-point meeting" and later became the most prestigious figure at the three-point meeting. The members attending the three-point meeting all come from poor social classes. At that time, three o'clock would be a secret gang organization with religious overtones. The initiation ceremony was extremely solemn. When passing through Hong Men, a square platform was placed in the center of the venue, and the four characters "Anti-Qing Restoration" were written on the four feet of the platform. "Anti-Qing Restoration" is the struggle program and political slogan of the three-point meeting. There is a bucket of grain on the square platform with five-color flags in it. Lao Pi, the leader of the three o'clock meeting, sat on the stage, facing the members standing in front of it. When the old members stood on both sides with swords and guns, and the new members climbed from the middle of the venue to the front of the stage, a leader asked, "Do you dare to kill the Manchu emperor?" Those who "dare" are not afraid, but should follow the sound. Then the newcomer must tell him truthfully whether he has done anything wrong. With the approval of "Lao Pi", he climbed the "Hong Men Pass" from the audience and was officially approved to join the third meeting; Become a member of the three-point meeting and become sworn brothers and sisters with them. "Hong Men" is actually named after Hong Xiuquan, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, that is, through the revolutionary gate of Hong Xiuquan. The radical of the word "Hong" is divided into three parts, so it is called "three parts meeting". Hong Men Club also has secret codes to facilitate secret activities. The leader is called Lao Pi, the guarantor of the members is called Bao Jiu, the civil servant is called Herry Liu, the military attache is called Iron Plate, the female member is called Flower Shoes, and the light is called Kong Ming. The meeting is called "setting the stage" and the meeting is called "opening the front desk", with an unknown member attached at one end. The other end replied: "I am a tailless sheep"; Rhetorical question: "Who are you?" The other party replied: "I am me! . "In this way," sheep "and" I "are combined into a word" righteousness ". There are code words to facilitate their secret activities. Each member has his own weapons and equipment, such as dagger, double knife, sabre, trident or gunpowder equipment. The secret activities of the three o'clock meeting are mainly in the evening, and the discipline is very strict; There are three meetings in the village, thieves dare not mess around, the masses are safe, and the enthusiasm for production is greatly improved. At that time, three meetings were organized in various places, which greatly shocked local tyrants and evil gentry and reactionary government officials. They strengthened their organizational strength to suppress the three-point meeting. The reactionary authorities set up a general manager, an information desk and a telegraph office in Angola. Together, they organized a group of dozens of brave people, who were stationed in the Guandi Temple in Anpuwei for a long time and often went to various villages to search for members of the Third Committee. White terror enveloped all places.

At three o'clock, we will March forward, and the anti-breeze fire will burn more and more vigorously, covering all parts of South Road. 1On the evening of March 20th, 897, more than 10000 people gathered in the counties of Gaoleilian, Sanfu and 8 in Oujiatang near Anpuwei. They all came from Beihai, Shankou and Suixi, and more came from Tang Peng, Shiling, Qingping, Cheban, Longwan and Shijiao in Lianjiang County. They merged into a stream of iron and rushed to Anpu. There will be a reception desk here at three o'clock. Everyone unanimously recommended Wei Liu, the most famous shopkeeper, "Laopi". They assembled the "five customs" (namely, loyalty hall, heroes' meeting, drinking blood, swearing, killing traitors, founding the country, etc. ). The general assembly mobilized all the members of the three-point meeting to take action to eliminate pesticides for the people. At the meeting, everyone expressed their determination to destroy the enemy. The armed action will start at 3: 00 on March 23rd, and attack Hengshan Youth League Committee Bureau and Anpu Jingjiang Fort successively. Immediately, the whole town of Anpu was blocked and controlled, and local group leaders Huang and Mao Qimian were rounded up. The atmosphere is quite tense. On the morning of the same day, hundreds of members broke into the Guandi Temple where Tuan Yong was stationed with knives and guns, killing more than 10 people who killed Tuan Yong, but never caught the trace of Mao Qimian, the leader of Tuan Yong. At dusk, after investigation, it was learned that he had fled into the castle where the information officer was stationed. At three o'clock, members surrounded the fort again, and an emergency attack was impossible. People held countless torches to make the dark sky in the wilderness look like day, and the surging crowd shouted angrily: "Kill Mao Qimian", "Revenge for Father", "Revenge for Brother" and "Revenge for Sister-in-law!" Waiting for the tragic slogan. Finally broke into the small castle, people searched; Under the torch, Mao Qimian, the leader of the bully, was found hiding behind a big tree and captured alive. At three o'clock, he decided to put him to death and beat him to a pulp. Then he killed Huang. The uprising at three o'clock achieved initial victory. The next day, Anpu Town resumed business, and the residents were jubilant to celebrate the victory. After the three-point uprising, Lianjiang county magistrate Wang Shoupei was in a hurry and telegraphed for reinforcements. The governors of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty heard the news, and transferred nearly a thousand troops from Gaoli Company to Zhentai, and the navy with guns and equipment from Qiongzhou came to Anpu area crazily. At that time, due to the poor armed equipment of the Third Committee, the members were scattered and concealed, and the Qing soldiers rushed to the countryside near Anpu in various ways, and the members were killed by surprise. The swordsmen braided the hair of the captured members of the Third Division, then strung it together with big ropes or long bamboo poles, and chased it like cattle and horses. Bing Yong tortured the members of the Third Committee by hanging their heads, burning, pinching their hands and feet, destroying and killing them. It was terrible! Almost every morning, a group of three members and innocent people are killed. The victim's family had long hair, and the whole family cried all over the street, and the wailing was endless. During the execution, the swordsmen played flutes and trombones. The terrible sound made us all shudder. The reactionary dog officials in the Qing dynasty shouted to the masses that they must hand over Liu, the leader of the three-point meeting, or they would kill all the members. Members of the three o'clock meeting

At that time, dark clouds of white terror hung over Ampu. At the meeting at three o'clock, all the people concerned took the opportunity to flee to a foreign land and wait for an opportunity to develop. At that time, Liu, the leader of the Third Committee who fled to Bobai County, Guangxi because of the failed uprising, heard that many members and innocent people were killed in order to save the lives of thousands of threatened members and people. He made up his mind, and then returned to Anpu from Guangxi alone. Just unpacked, everyone was worried and sighed! Advised him to fly away, but for the safety of people's lives and property, he was fearless and decided to go to the government alone, confessed to organizing a three-point meeting and surrendered himself. On this day, the sky was overcast, and Liu, the leader of the third meeting, swaggered calmly, nodded and smiled at everyone and bravely walked to the execution ground. The soldiers of the Qing government are as brave as the enemy. They escorted Liu, but he was not bound and walked in front of the sword. The crowd on both sides of the street was in tears, and the strong men were indignant and denounced the reactionary officials who persecuted the masses. Then I bid farewell to the villagers and went to the execution ground. On the execution ground, the swordsman cruelly nailed Liu, the leader of the three-point meeting, to the wooden cross, and the strong man stood solemnly without changing his face. Swordsman with big waist and quick hands stepped forward, first cut Herry Liu's forehead with one knife, then cut off his arm, then cut off his left and right thighs and chest, and finally cut off his neck, and * * * cut off seven knives. The crowd couldn't bear to see this scene and turned their heads. Brave and unyielding Liu died generously, without a snort, and his soul returned to heaven.

Although Liu, the great hero, fell, the three-point meeting he led was suppressed by the reactionary troops of the Manchu Dynasty after the Anpu Uprising and suffered a crushing defeat. However, the history of the heroic struggle of the three clubs he led before his death and his indomitable spirit of saving members and innocent people will shine forever. Merit is full of mountains and rivers, blood is full of fields, and it is forever engraved in the hearts of Anpu people. The story of Liu He's "three-point meeting" composed a tragic and sonorous movement of anti-Qing struggle, which echoed along the banks of Kyushu and resounded through the ages.
