Chapter 119 A Brief History of Xixia

 We made a decision and decided to go down to the bottom of the well to have a look.

After finding a rope, I said I would go down. Douyazai said no, he wanted to contribute to the team and he wanted to go down the well.

I saw that the well was not too deep and there was no water in it, so I thought there would be no danger, so I agreed to let Dou Sprout go down into the well.

After tying the rope around his waist and checking it carefully to make sure everything was fine, Dou Sprout put on his headlamp and started sliding down the wellhead.

We tied the rope on the ground to a big stone. Bean Sprout is not fat, so this stone is enough to support his weight.

No one has visited this place for who knows how many years, and everything looks desolate.

Dou Sprouts quickly slid to the bottom of the well pulling the rope.

He bent down and touched the ground, shouting: "Damn it, it's really a piece of iron!"

Throw the head into a cloth bag and ask Yazai to quickly put it in and take a look. ??

When Dou Sprout brought the things to us, we took a look and found that the pile of iron pieces was very rusty and the corners were severely deformed. There was a small hole right above the rotten iron piece. We didn't know what it was for.

We were confused at first because all the iron pieces had small eyes.

Unexpectedly, Aji said something that woke us all up.

Aji said, "Could these iron pieces have been strung together before?"

"Yes! It turns out to be that thing! Why didn't I think of it!"

This is armor!

It’s the iron plate armor worn by soldiers and generals during previous wars!

I threw a shovel down the well and shouted loudly: "Ya Zai! Look again to see if there is anything else."

In the next hour or so, in a dry well in the deepest part of Alxa, we discovered more and more things.

There were pieces of rotten iron, iron swords broken into several sections, rusty spear heads, arrowheads, and a large number of scattered dead bones, especially dead bones. Bean Sprout dug more and more down with the shovel until he finally dug out

I was so scared that I didn’t dare to dig. There were too many dead people’s bones, layered one on top of the other. Some of the bones were so weathered that they would be crushed into powder by being stepped on by the bean sprouts.

<
br> He was sweating profusely at the bottom of the well and shouted: "Pull me up quickly! There may be tens of thousands of people! This is a fucking death pit!"

After pulling Dou Sprouts up, he still seemed to be in shock.

Not just him, everyone had the same expression on their faces.

Uncle Hu Lu said something loudly and anxiously.

Aji nervously translated and said: "Uncle said these are General Black's soldiers who died in the battle. If we disturb General Black's soul, we will be cursed by Halahout!"

"Don't panic." He kept his head calm. After thinking for a moment, he said: "It's a bit reluctant to say that those dead bones are soldiers from Heishui City in Xixia. Even if there are, they won't all be Xixia soldiers. Because the number of armors and weapons we found is far greater.

Less than the number of remains. In other words, most of the skeletons in the well may be ordinary people."

The first analysis made sense, and then we started a discussion around this topic. Although we didn't get any definite results in the end, I had a general understanding of the brief history of Xixia.

Looking at ancient civilizations, Xixia is the only one not included in the Twenty-Four Histories, because the later Yuan Dynasty deliberately did not compile a history for Xixia.

And when people discuss Xixia, they always feel that this northwest country has an aura about it.

mystery.

In the late Tang Dynasty, there was a party member named Tuoba Sigong. This man helped the Tang Dynasty put down the Huangchao Rebellion. The King of Tang Dynasty rewarded land heavily, appointed officials and envoys, and also gave him the surname Li. This man was the founder of the Xixia Kingdom.

.

Later, Li Deming and Li Jiqian succeeded the Northwest Jiedushi. These two men developed secretly for decades. By Li Yuanhao's generation, their fiefdom was already very powerful.

When Yuan Hao saw that he had a strong army and a strong horse, he decided not to be stubborn, so he said to Song Renzong, "Xiao Song, I am no longer Wu Xia Amen, let us be equals."

After hearing this, Renzong was furious and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you be equal to me?"

Sit down. Renzong said you wait, and he will send someone to beat you.

Song Renzong sent troops to the northwest three times and fought the Battle of Sanchuankou, the Battle of Haoshuikou, and the Battle of Watingzhai. Unfortunately, Renzong did not win even once.

Seeing that he had won the battle, Yuan Hao sent a document. He said in the letter: "Xiao Song, I know you can't live with it. My grandfather once followed your grandfather. I won't embarrass you because of this feeling.

As long as you recognize me as the founder of Xixia and recognize me as the emperor of Xixia, then I will pay you tribute every year. To the Liao and Jin countries, you can declare to the outside world that I, Xixia, are your vassal state of the Song Dynasty."

Renzong vomited blood on the spot after reading Yuan Hao's letter, and had no choice but to agree.

From then on, Xixia was founded.

This is the founding story of Xixia.

Let’s talk about the story of Xixia’s annihilation. .??.

Most of the people in Xixia are Dangxiang people. Now the Dangxiang people have long ceased to exist. The Mongols hate the Dangxiang people. The fundamental reason for the demise of the Dangxiang people is because of a secret order of Genghis Khan. Why do the Mongols hate the Dangxiang people so much? It is most likely because of Genghis Khan’s death and

Related to the Xixia people.

That was the sixth time the Mongols attacked Xixia. Before departure, Genghis Khan was in good health. He could eat a pound of mutton and drink half a pound of spirits in one meal.

But not long after the battle started, Genghis Khan died in Liupan Mountain.

There are many theories about his death, one of which is very credible.

It is said that Xixia sent a party beauty that time. This beauty had a great figure and had learned incredible skills in bed since she was a child.

Genghis Khan was fascinated.

That night, just when he was about to strike, this Xixia beauty took out a pair of scissors.

The scissors cut across it and divided it into two.

The hero was in a coma for several days due to excessive blood loss. There were no antibiotics in that era, and it was summer, so the wound naturally became infected.

When he was dying, he said: After I die, you should not mourn for me, so that Tang Wute (Dangxiang people) will not know that I am dead.
Go, when their king comes out to surrender, you will destroy his clan, massacre his city, burn his house, and destroy his civilization, and my son will do it." Before he could finish his words, Genghis Khan, a generation of genius, drove to the west of Hexi.

This secret order was sent from the depths of Liupanshan Palace, and within a few hours all the major Mongolian generals received Genghis Khan's secret order.

At this time, the Mongolian army of 200,000 had been surrounding Zhongxing Prefecture for more than several months. If it were not for the fear of Xixia's Iron Harrier Army, the Mongols would have broken through the city long ago.

The last emperor of Xixia was named Li Xian. In fact, this boy was not a bad boy. He was just promoted to the throne by his uncle Prince Qingping when the country was destroyed. Li Xian was young and energetic. At the beginning, he was very high-spirited and vowed to fight with the Mongolian soldiers.

In a fight to the death, the Mongolian generals looked down upon him, the king of the country, and the two sides cursed each other across the city every two days.

The general meaning is that the Mongolians said: "Young people, don't be too arrogant, open the door quickly and surrender."

Li Xian scolded back: "Why don't you call me young in anger? If you have the guts, come to the city!"

The two sides had been scolding each other for more than two months. Later, there was no food in the Zhongxing Mansion. Hundreds of thousands of Xixia civilians were starving. People were starving to death every day. Li Xian lost the heroic spirit he had a few months ago. He took out the food in the palace.

After saving some grain and distributing it to the people, he decided to leave the city and surrender after washing his face.

The slogan shouted by the Mongols is, as long as you come out of the city and surrender, we will not kill you.

But as a result, Li Xian was beheaded by the Mongols as soon as he came out. Then 200,000 Mongolians rushed into Zhongxing Mansion, burned and killed civilians, insulted women, and killed more than 400,000 people in just seven days. The Dangxiang people were wiped out.

For Dangxiang people, those seven days were painful.

For the Mongolians, those seven days are happy.

There are thousands of white bones in the well, and it is speculated that they may have died in this war that destroyed the country.

As for who used the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva as a manhole cover to cover the well.

He might be a monk from the Qing Dynasty or a Taoist priest from the Ming Dynasty.

No one can explain this clearly.
