Lu Rongting's anecdote.

Once upon a time, there was a city god temple at the intersection of Ai Hui Road and Wende Road, where incense flourished. In the square in front of the temple, there are many fortune-telling and divination booths. These charlatans know people's psychology very well, knowing that most people who come to visit fortune-tellers are unlucky or in adversity. Therefore, as soon as the bearer sat down, the warlock deliberately mocked him, such as "You look unlucky and unlucky". Then the conversation changed: "It's a good thing you found me. I can show you the way. " Then lie and make yourself feel guilty. One of the fortune tellers, nicknamed "big sandbag" (named after a big sandbag on the table), swore at everyone and took the lead in making trouble, so his business was booming and he was quite famous.

19 16 In August, Lu Rongting (see photo), a warlord in Guangxi, served as the governor of Guangdong Province, and was once in power.

Lu Rongting had long heard that there were many fortune-telling magicians in front of the Town God Temple, so he thought, I am a great person. I wonder if these magicians can see their "expensive faces"? He wanted to try it, so he disguised himself as a businessman, followed Ma Mi as a servant, shook it three times and put it in the Chenghuang Temple. He casually walked to a fortune teller's booth and sat down, saying that he wanted to see the fortune teller. The fortune teller naturally didn't know that the man in front of him was a warlord, so he used his usual trick to ridicule him first: "Look at you, you loser, walking around when you are dying!" " Within three days ... "Lu Rongting was inexplicably teased, furious and about to attack. His Ma Bian motioned at once, asking him not to reveal his identity. Then the fortune teller "pointed out the maze" and made up a story. Lu Rongting had to submit to humiliation, saying nothing and leaving angrily. When he returned to the capital, Lu Rongting told his assistant what had happened to him, and angrily said that he wanted to settle accounts with a fortune teller. These assistants secretly told the fortune teller to leave Guangzhou overnight.

The story spread from one word to ten words and became an interesting story. After that, Guangzhou people have such a saying: "Lu Rongting looks at each other-well (don't) decline (find) decline!" That is, asking for trouble and asking for it. Since then, "the portrait of Lu Rongting" has become a common allegory among the people. Wuming County is located in the north of Nanning, the capital of Guangxi, and the county seat is more than 30 kilometers away from the capital. Wuming was called Wuyuan in ancient times, and Qin belonged to Xiang County. Wuyuan County was established in the first year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (AD 58 1 year). 1300, in the second year of the Republic of China (19 13), it was renamed Wuming County by Lu Rongting, then governor of Guangxi.

Lu Rongting is a native of Xiong Lei Village, Wuyuan County, a Zhuang nationality. He lost his father when he was young and his mother remarried. When he was a child, he was a beggar and a thief, wandering in the rivers and lakes. Later, he became the leader of a greenwood armed force on the Sino-Vietnamese border. In the eighteenth year of Guangxu (1892), he was recruited by the Qing court to take charge of the Qing army, and was promoted repeatedly for his meritorious service. Xuantong was appointed Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi for three years (19 1 1 year). In the early years of the Republic of China, he served as commander-in-chief of Guangxi, awarded the rank of army general, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the marshal of Guangzhou military government. Lu Rongting once competed with Feng for the position of vice president, and was the first soldier in Guangxi to spread his influence throughout the country.

Lu Rongting moved the capital of Guangxi from Guilin to Nanning in the winter of 19 12, so as to live in his hometown and direct the military and political affairs of the whole province. The following year, Wu Yuan was changed to Wu Ming.

Changing the name of hometown county is said to be the product of Lu Rongting's call for hometown people to be famous for their martial arts, and Wuming County is the place where they are famous for their martial arts. This statement is correct. There is a precedent for Wuyuan people to be famous for their martial arts. There is Daming Mountain at an altitude of 1760m in central Guangxi, which is steep and steep. Daming Mountain is also known as Kongtong Mountain. Gu Jian's name. It is said that the martial edge under the sword shadow belongs to the land of dragons and tigers, and there are many martial people. This is of course far-fetched nonsense. But the ancients were superstitious and believed in Feng Shui. In the sixth year of Daoguang (1826), the county magistrate Li built Wenjiang Building on the east bank of the intersection of Xiangshan River and Xijiang River in Nandutou Village, Wuyuan County, in order to make the dragon and tiger mighty. Superstitious measures did not make Wu Yuan lose his "fate" of "martial arts". More than 20 years after the tower was built, in the third year of Xianfeng (1853), he led 30,000 soldiers to the northern expedition alone, which lasted for two years. He moved to several provinces in North China and arrived in the suburbs of Tianjin, scaring Emperor Xianfeng to flee to the Jehol in the north. Jinghu and Dinghu Li, famous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom celebrities, are both famous for their martial arts among the Zhuang people in Wuyuan. Lu Rongting, a fellow countryman elder, is famous in Beijing, Tianjin and the world. He was born as a horse and rode freely, relying on Wu to ascend the throne of "Wang Gui".

At that time, officialdom used birth to address dignitaries. Lu Rongting, a native of Wuyuan, is naturally called "Lu Wuyuan". Obviously, this title can't show the dignity of the viceroy's adult, so Lu Rongting changed "fate" to "Ming" and called himself "Liu Wuming".

From 19 13 to 1928 when Lu Rongting died in Shanghai, the name of "unknown" was only 15. After "Master Lu" fell out of power, the banknotes printed by his mint (that is, "Lu Gong Piao") immediately depreciated and became invalid. However, the word "five Ming" is widely recognized because of its profound meaning, and it has not been affected by the fall of the leading actor and handsome star, and it still resounds in all directions.
