Normally, parents love their children. Even if some don’t say it much or express it in different ways, they still think about their children all the time in their hearts and think that no matter what, they still love their children. Children of your own family are better.
This connection between blood lines seems to be a natural inheritance, something engraved in genes, and those extremely unique parents are at most like genetic mutations...
Humphrey is no exception, he also likes his children.
In this era, it is not easy to have a child. One reason is that in order to increase the population, both the Hu people and the Han people advocate early marriage and early childbearing. Even the Han laws clearly stipulate that if a woman wants to practice and become a Buddha, she must The taxes that need to be paid may directly bankrupt an ordinary family.
Therefore, most women were relatively young when they gave birth to their first child, and there were no professional hospitals in the Han Dynasty. The risks of childbirth and wound infection after childbirth have always been a concern for new mothers and newborns. Huge killer.
Yufuluo is not young either. He used to be King Youxian and now he is Chanyu. There have always been a lot of women around him, and there are also many who have given birth to children, but now there are only five who survive...
There are not a few people who died young due to various reasons, and those who gradually grew cold in Yuvroud's arms.
Therefore, Hufrault likes and loves these children who can grow up. If he has some free time, he will accompany the children to ride horses on the grassland and roll on the grass to play games. In this aspect, in fact, He is no different from an ordinary father.
Suddenly hearing that Fei Qian raised this issue about the successor, Yufuluo couldn't help but feel a little confused. If he followed the original custom, Yufuluo's default successor now was Hu Chuquan.
Brothers and sisters.
This is considered by many Confucians to be a system that goes against human ethics, but it is determined by specific productivity factors. In the Han Dynasty, both the Hu people and the Han people did not live long, but on the prairie where the Hu people lived, they followed It is a naked law of the jungle, so when the previous generation dies, the next generation is often not very old. In such an environment, a weak successor cannot guarantee the orderly inheritance of the family tribe, so the brother dies. Brother and such rules came into being.
But such a system goes against human nature.
Fei Qian looked at Yuvluo who was somewhat silent, took a sip of wine, and then said nonchalantly: "Who doesn't want their family to last for a long time, right, Shanyu... Shanyu?"
"Ah..." Yufro came back to his senses, smiled sheepishly, and said, "Xiao Wang was distracted... What did the general say?"
Fei Qian didn't take it seriously and continued: "Heir, has Shanyu chosen who to be his heir?"
Yuvluo was silent for a while, drank all the wine on the table, and said: "What else is there to choose? This heir... should be Xiao Wang's younger brother, Hu Chuquan..."
"Ah? Oh..." Fei Qian let out a meaningful oh, and then said, "...This is all my fault. I have been with Shanyu for a long time, and the conversation was very enjoyable, but sometimes I forgot...forgot... Forget it, let’s not talk about this... drink, drink, try this dish, which is specially made from the best lamb..."
Humphrey couldn't say anything further, or rather he didn't know what to say, so he followed Fei Qian's words and took the roasted lamb chops on the table without taking a bite. eating.
After a while, Fei Qian changed the subject and talked about the Xianbei people.
This time, they teamed up with Yuvluo, and it was considered a good cooperation. The Southern Huns are worthy of being a people on horseback, and their ability to march long distances should not be underestimated. Together with Ma Yue and others, they went around from the exit on the west side of the Yinshan Mountains to Manchuria. The north side of Yigu Road blocked Tuoba Guo's way back. This was considered a battle.
However, this matter can be regarded as tit for tat.
When the Xiongnu were powerful, the people on the Donghu side were severely oppressed. Then, when the Huns were facing a direct confrontation with the Han army, the Donghu army set out from the Daxingan Mountains and attacked the king of the Xiongnu for thousands of miles. Court, resulting in the defeat of the Huns army on the frontal battlefield...
The current Xianbei people are the extension and multiplication of the Donghu people at that time. In this way, there is a sense of tit-for-tat.
Speaking of this, Yufro also seemed to be interested again. This time he saw Tuoba Guo die in front of him. This kind of pleasure of revenge made Yufro very excited for a few days. Previously, Yufro When Yuvluo evacuated from the Royal Court of Meiji, he once swore an oath, and now it is more than half completed. This makes Yuvluo particularly proud in front of his tribe.
"Haha, it's natural, it's natural... It's so happy, so happy..." Humphrey waved the meat bones of the lamb chops, as if he were sitting on horseback waving a sword, and said enthusiastically, " ... Xianbei dogs are like today! Hahaha... By the way, the Xianbei dogs captured this time will still be distributed according to the old practice?"
Fei Qian nodded.
These captured Xianbei people had actually become slaves.
Of course, in the Han laws of the Han Dynasty, heavy taxes were levied on those who kept slaves. In other words, in fact, the Han laws gradually reflected an aspect of abandoning the slavery system. However, in the actual process, the slavery system It lasted until the late feudal society and still has its remnants.
Not to mention the Hu people of grassland culture. In their concept, the slavery system is the arrangement of Changshengtian...
The losses in this war must be compensated to some extent from these Xianbei people. The road leading to the Yinshan Mountains is not perfect and needs to be repaired; the destroyed residential settlements also need to be rebuilt; the mining and stone excavation in Luliang Mountains in Pingyang , there is also a massive lack of manpower...
And these Xianbei people are the best labor resources.
Fei Qian said: "Just follow the old rules... However, these manpower are still not enough... It will be nice to get more people sometime... Oh, it's okay, let's drink and drink..."
Yuvro retracted his wide-eyed eyes, and then he drank with Fei Qian, but he was muttering in his heart that so many people had eaten it, and this Fei Qian was actually not enough, and he was still thinking about when to make another batch. It seemed that With this measure of my own, I should still consider the bigger picture...
"By the way, talking about Xianbei...there is one thing that I think it is necessary to let Shanyu know..."
Fei Qian suddenly remembered, waving to Huang Xu behind him, and asked Huang Xu to fetch some military newspapers from the leather bag beside him, then rummaged through it, took out one, and asked Huang Xu to Pass it to Huvroud's bodyguard.
"This is..." Hufro didn't know what was going on, so he asked while taking the military report from his own bodyguard.
Fei Qian smiled and said: "It's just our military report... But some of the things in it are quite interesting... Shanyu can take a look for himself..."
Although Yuvluo did not understand the Four Books and Five Classics like the intellectuals of the Han Dynasty, he still had no problem reading Chinese characters and some simple military reports. He unfolded Pingyang's special Pu paper and after looking up and down for a few times, he frowned. I couldn't help but wrinkle up.
"General!" Yuvrou pointed at the military newspaper with an ugly face and said, "These... are they true?"
Fei Qian nodded and said: "This is not what we Han people say... Bai Shiqiang, you know... Well, the people of Bai Shiqiang also have some trade relations with us, exchanging some furs and so on... And these things are also The people of Baishiqiang have seen it with their own eyes... Of course, even if you ask, you will probably say that there is no such thing... And I think that if we Han people go there, we may not be able to see anything... Haha..."
"Bai Shi Qiang?" Yu Fulo murmured, "That's right. To do this, you must naturally avoid the eyes and ears of others... If it weren't for the Qiang people who originally lived in the surrounding area and chased water and grass, how would they have seen it?"
While Yuvro was once again searching for the truth between the lines of the military report, he was mumbling something unknown in Hun dialect, speaking very fast and extremely vaguely. Although Fei Qian also understood some Hun language, he still couldn't understand anything. It was clear that Humphrey's face was getting worse and worse, as if there was a ball of anger burning between his brows.
"@#@￥!"
Humphrey suddenly yelled something, and then the general slapped the table hard, making a loud "bang" sound, which immediately alerted the guards on both sides. Amidst the crashing sound of armor and iron pieces, they all They surrounded the middle.
"Well, it's okay, it's okay... please step back..." Fei Qian glanced at Yufro, then waved his hand.
Humphrey lowered his head and didn't say a word. He just raised his hands and waved them above his head.
The guards on both sides looked at each other and then slowly retreated.
"..." After a long time, Humphrey asked in a low voice, "Why didn't the general tell me this matter earlier..."
The military report mentioned that some Xianbei people were seen near Gaonu, who seemed to be envoys, and then they were entertained by Huchuquan's men...
Of course, the military report did not say whether it was a real messenger or not, it just said it was suspected. But according to normal thinking, who would go for a walk on the other side's territory if nothing happened?
It’s not like I ate too much and walked in the park to eat...
Because at that time Yuvluo didn't know whether he could successfully regain the royal court by following Fei Qian north, and he didn't know what kind of accidents would happen, so he divided the tribe into two parts, most of them followed him, and the other small group Some of them stayed in Gaonu County with Huchuquan, so that even if something went wrong in their own line of work, there would still be some tribesmen who could survive on behalf of their tribe.
But Huvrault's measures, which seemed quite comprehensive at the time, now appear to have some problems.
Xianbei people appeared in Gaonu!
And Yuvluo only learned about this from Fei Qian!
Faced with such a situation, how could Yuvrou not be angry?
"Come here!" Yuvrou suddenly called out.
"Wait a minute, does Shan want to send someone to check?" Fei Qian suddenly raised his palm to signal to stop him.
"This is natural! This matter must be investigated clearly!" Yuvrou raised his eyebrows and said with a stern expression.
Fei Qian nodded slowly and said: "I don't object to the Shanyu wanting to investigate... But now even if the Shanyu sends people to go, I'm afraid nothing can be found. Maybe not even a hair can be seen. I don't know if the Shanyu Yu, believe it or not?"
"This..." Yuvrou stared, as if he had been choked. He took a deep breath for a while, and then signaled the guards who came over to get down again.
Humphrey wasn't stupid either, so when Fei Qian said it, he naturally figured it out.
"Haha..." Fei Qian chuckled twice and said, "Don't blame Shan Yu, I just thought of a sentence... There is a sentence that says that soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. I don't know Shan Yu." Have you ever heard of it?"
"Huh?!" Humphrey said with eyes wide open, "Who said this? How dare you say such treacherous and deceptive words, you should be executed! If every soldier in the army thinks that he is a general, then who will be the general? Soldiers, who will charge into the battle? Let the original general do it?"
The hierarchical system is the foundation of the Hu people's ruling class. Of course, it is also the fundamental method of many ruling classes. It is just that some are more obvious and some are more obscure. Those who want to challenge beyond the level will naturally touch the root in the sky. Only when you survive the high-voltage line and survive the thunderstorm can you reach the upper level.
Fei Qian nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too... But, obviously someone wants to be a general..."
"He dares!" Yuvrou shouted angrily.
Fei Qian shook his head and said: "This is no longer a question of whether you dare, but a question of how much you do..."
Humphrey was speechless, and then said after a while: "...if it were you, the general...how would you deal with it?"
"Is this..." Fei Qian smiled slightly and said, "Chan Yu... do you know 'Zheng Beke Duan Yu Yan'?"
"What language?" Yuvroud was obviously not very familiar with Zuo Zhuan and couldn't react for a while.
"Haha, it's Zheng Burke and Duan Yuyan..." Fei Qian smiled, explained the matter a little, and then said, "...Look, Chanyu, why do you need to ask me how to do it? In this Chunqiu Zuozhuan, everything is It has been written clearly... Therefore, books are our most precious wealth. Generations of Han people have used these words and these books to pass on their experience bit by bit to the present, and will also pass it on to the present. In the future, tens of millions of years later..."
Only when there is culture, there is a nation.
Without its own culture, there is no real nation.
Han, it is precisely these Chinese characters, Chinese language, Hanfu, and Hanzhang that ultimately come down to one continuous line and continue endlessly...
When Fei Qian talked about this, he seemed to be a little nostalgic. When he was in later generations, sometimes he was really tired of reading, and his father didn't know how to enlighten and comfort him. He just translated the sentence "Reading more books will eventually help." I've been telling it over and over again, but now that I think about it...
"Alas..." Fei Qian sighed, half-raised his head, looked at the sky, and said with a trace of nostalgia, "...Reading more books will help after all... My father also said this. Tell me often..."
After a while, Yuvluo suddenly said: "...General, I have a gracious request... Can you send a few knowledgeable people to my place to lecture on these scriptures... I actually like it very much." These are just the guidance of Kunai Master..."
"Going to your place?" Fei Qian raised his eyebrows and said, "...I'm sorry, Shanyu, we are all old friends. To be honest...your place, haha, not necessarily anyone is willing to go... This matter of imparting and teaching is ultimately about mutual consent. Those who want to learn are willing to learn, and those who teach are willing to teach. Otherwise, they will not be able to learn well and will not be careful in teaching... Okay, I will ask for you. If not, just tell me. Go for a few months, give a time limit or something... Of course, if you don't teach well, you have to continue there, so as to put some pressure on these people, and they can't fool our friends at will, Shanyu, don't you think?"
Yufro was overjoyed and quickly thanked Fei Qian. Fei Qian waved his hand and was about to say something when he suddenly looked up and looked around, only to see flags fluttering and curtains hanging...
