Chapter 53 Westbound Huahu First Country
Wukong drove a cattle, drove a car, walked out of Zhongnan Mountain for several days, and gradually left the Qin border. Guanzhong scenic spot, the lush forest plains gradually had mountainous undulations, the Hu Feng grew, and a large area of farmland became grassland. However, although there were a large amount of the Western Rong, it was still Qin, but it was the result of the Five Sheepskin Doctor Baili Xi a hundred years ago.
Bailixi assisted Duke Mu, destroyed the twelve Western Rong countries, and expanded the territory for thousands of miles. This is here.
I think the ancestor of Qin was a descendant of the Shang people, and the descendant of Xuanniao Blood, and the same clan as Zhao Qing of Jin. A hundred years later, during the Warring States Period, the three families divided Jin and Zhao Qing established a country as Zhao. Both Qin and Zhao were descendants of Feijian. After Ying was the eldest son of Feilian, the Zhao family came as the second son Ji Sheng. Because Zhao's ancestors made great contributions to the father, they were granted the title of Zhao, and Ying family lost to the Zhao family, so they lost to the Zhao family.
Qin Shihuang's name was Zheng, so Ying Zheng's real name was Zhao Zheng.
Now the two families are still in love. During the Warring States Period, they were both Zhao and the two countries, but they were already mortal enemies between Qin and Zhao.
The ancestor of Qin State, Qin Feizi, also known as Zhao Feizi, was the king of Zhou Xiao of herding horses in Quanqiu and landed in Qin. After five dynasties, he defeated Quanrong, expanded the barbarians, and cut down the thorns and expanded the size of the land. Finally, Xiang Duke became the princes, and Mu Duke expanded the westward land for a thousand miles, becoming the Xiping of China and the great power of Guanzhong.
The ox cart was walking quietly on the Qin Road. Suddenly, a businessman who was wearing a cow in front saw the bronze frame and came up and said, "Master in the car, don't go forward any more! Going further forward, there is the Yiqu tribe. The savages of Quanrong are bloody and arrogant, and they are the most wary of the people from our country of China. Except for the merchants who are familiar with their tribes, all the Chinese people who go to their territory will be harmed by them!"
When Wukong saw that the person who came up to advise was a slightly childish young man, he replied, "This guy, we didn't even bring an inch of armor. There were only two masters from my family in the car, who took us to study in various countries. When the Yiqu people saw that we were empty-handed, they would never treat us as bad people! They would harm us at any time!"
The young man was startled when he saw Wukong's true appearance and pointed at Wukong and said, "Why are you wearing hair on your face? You look like a monkey?"
Wukong laughed and said, "I am a Mao people from the south. I admire the culture of the Central Plains, so I worship him under the teacher!"
"So that's it!" The young man said embarrassedly: "I have never left Qin. At the farthest distance, I went to Guanzhong with my elders to sell cattle. It's rare and strange! I heard that the Chu people in the south have feathers and wholesale thorns, like ghosts and gods. I think the southerners are so weird, not as pure as our northerners. But you don't even bring armor, and you are afraid you will be killed by the Rong Di!"
"Rong Di is afraid of power but not virtue. You bring your armor. The small tribe sees that you have some resistance and is afraid that the young and strong people in the tribe will suffer too much, so they will not take action. Only those large tribes with thousands of people will take action. And you will be killed by those Quanrong people in less than two days when you go west with bare hands!"
The young man swears: "When we went to Xirong to sell horses, we sold them salt and silk, and sold their cattle and horses to share their possessions and other things. They are the people that the Quanrong people need most. That's it. Every time the merchants who go to Yiqu will be harmed by those Quanrong people who are greedy for our wealth one or two times! Our caravans are all strong men with strong bows and crossbows. The caravans are full of strong men and skilled martial arts. Only in this way can they not be harmed by them. If you really want to go to Xirong to verify your knowledge, it is better to find a caravan that comes and borrow money."
When Wukong saw him riding a horse and knocking his bow, he turned his eyes and suddenly laughed: "If such an armed caravan meets a smaller Rong tribe, he will probably transform himself and start a business without foundation?"
The boy smiled shyly, feeling a little embarrassed, but without any shame, and said, "If we meet a small tribe with rich cattle and horses, we will of course rob him. Those barbarians, Rongdi, are like the beasts that are stocked in the wild by us Qin people. The beasts are not good and are raised too much, so they will naturally have to slaughter them. When we Qin men grow up again, we will kill and plunder them and expand our land."
The boy looked up at Chen Ang who was listening calmly in the car. I asked, "The two masters look like they are very knowledgeable, but do they look down on us?"
Chen Ang smiled and said, "Respecting the king and expelling the barbarians is a great righteousness in China. How can there be a despised etiquette? Besides, the way of man is to strive for self-improvement and the way of heaven. Those who fit the right one survive. Isn't it in line with the will of heaven?"
Lao Tzu said: "The Supreme One does not know that there is it; secondly, he praises it with close tribute; secondly, he fears it; secondly, he insults it. If he does not believe it, he will not believe it. If he is leisurely, his words are precious. If he succeeds, the people will say: I am naturally."
The young man's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "The two doctors are indeed knowledgeable masters. They are not like some stupid people who are traitors and robbing evil and pedantic words. A Qi man came two years ago, and his mind was so unclear!"
This is a bit strange. The pre-Qin scholar-official style is not as rude as the later generations. He is muttering that he is kind and kind, and has been lenient to the barbarians.
The pre-Qin period was the time when China expanded its territory and the martial arts style was at its peak. Confucius was here. When he saw the Qin people launching a large number of soldiers, he might have praised them: "Wei Baili Xi, my hair is left-handed!" Therefore, the Qin and Han dynasties inherited the style of the pre-Qin princes, and their martial arts were tremendous. They chased the army and chased Di, and fought against the barbarians. They had never praised the martial arts of conquering barbarians, but did not persuade people to have hypocritical morality.
Under such a moral virtue of respecting the king and expelling the barbarians, the Qi people were actually a strange flower.
The boy was fond of a big life, and he couldn't bear to see them die. He suggested: "Those Quanrong people are very fierce in killing. You should not go west for now. It's winter now. You go west to Quanrong. It won't take long to go west. If you go west, it won't take long to count. At that time, there will be no firewood on the prairie, and there will be white disasters, wind and snow, and the danger of losing the road will be a lifetime of death."
"It's a blessing that I met the winter camp of the Quanrong people in Yiqu. Those Quanrong people lack food and clothing in winter will definitely not let you go. Maybe they will have to be cheaper in their bodies."
"It's better to wait until the beginning of the spring of the next year, when the Quanrong people are in urgent need of salt and copper, and go on a trip with those big caravans!"
Although this young man was kind and said something a little bit reasonable, Chen Ang, Wukong and others were not ordinary people. Moreover, they had to go to the Western Heaven to poison. They would stop for half a year today and take two months tomorrow, and it would take a few years to complete. Now this journey to the west is different from the prosperous Tang Dynasty a thousand years later. At that time, the countries in the Western Regions had already had some contacts with the Tang Dynasty, and had many business trips. It was not difficult to go to Tianzhu on a Silk Road.
But now the martial style of the Chinese capital has not faded, and the Western Regions are even more wild. The famous and unknown nomadic tribes such as the Xiongnu, Quanrong, Turks, Yuezhi, etc., were walking a little later on the way. Maybe they could meet the Greek Macedonians who fought in the east. They were all barbarians, eating raw meat and drinking blood, killing each other. Chen Ang and his party went west like this and had to fight a bloody path.
Wukong couldn't think about it, so he had to come back and ask Chen Ang, "Master, we are all barbarians and savages all the way west. Maybe we don't even talk much. I have seen this person when I crossed the east side. On the deserted island of the East China Sea, there is no way to reason with the savage tribe. It's like a beast, and it's not considered a human being. What the kid is right is that going west is really difficult. I have to be beaten by my old grandson and kill hundreds of people. I can't stand the savages. Master, you are unwilling to show your magical powers. What should I do?"
Chen Ang smiled and said, "It is the wilderness that we need to be a teacher and Lao Tzu to educate. We go all the way not only to go to the body poison and discuss the Tao with the Tathagata, but also to sow the seeds of civilization and educate the Buddha. Therefore, this way of traveling west is not to visit, teach, teach the chieftain's knowledge, but to war, conquest, kill and preach."
"Where there are demons, there will be you, the Emperor of the Qitian Demon Emperor, who will scatter demons and scatter demons. I know that the journey westward is mixed with humans and demons. These barbarians and Rongdi, savages and demons live together, so you will kill them all the way. This trip to the West is to make the tribes that believe in my great sect flourish and conquer the more barbaric Rongdi, so they will set off their swords and kill each other with blood and pestle."
After Chen Ang said that, he pondered for a moment and said, "But the Yiqu tribe is a little different. It has been close to China for a long time. When Emperor Mu was a vassal state, he later rebelled again, but he also learned some truths from China. With the rules, it was not the completely wild tribe that sprouted the seeds of civilization. Although there was also the vulgarity of the wizard shamans who sacrificed demons blood, it was different from the Rongdi who lived in the monsters, or even half demons and half man. Wukong, you are not easy to take action."
"A hundred years later, this place must belong to Qin. It cannot be mixed with Yao Rong!"
