Just as the Dragon City Conference was being held on the northern grasslands, thousands of miles away, across the river and the Yangtze River, the ancient Minjiang River was flowing endlessly, passing between the plains and mountains.
Eventually, this vast river passed through a river valley basin and flowed into the vast ocean.
A port city stood up at the mouth of the Minjiang River.
This is Dongye (later Fuzhou).
Since the ancestor of Fujian and Yue, Wu Zhu, built a city here, the Luo family has ruled this ancient kingdom for decades.
But to this day, the whole of Minyue is still in disarray.
Not to mention the emperor of Chang'an, even the Yue King of Dongye could not command the Minyue tribes with broken hair and tattoos all over the Minjiang River Basin.
But today, everything seems to have changed.
Almost all the tribes gathered in Dongye.
Thousands of people knelt on both sides of the road with tears in their eyes.
A huge tripod is carried on a modified cart. The tripod is long and long, and it is unknown how many years it has gone through; the tripod is heavy, and it has been sacrificed by many ancestors and saints.
The prayers and wishes of the people.
In front of this artifact, King Luo Yue of Minyue had no choice but to lead the country's ministers and nobles of civil and military affairs and the entire people of Dongye to crawl beside the road.
Because this is the tripod made by Emperor Yu.
All the sacred objects that Yue people long for deep in their hearts.
It is also an artifact that carries the dreams and hopes of King Yu Yue for thousands of years.
Luo Yue, who claimed to be the heir of Emperor Shaokang, naturally could not resist this sacred object.
Throughout Minyue, no one can resist the call of their ancestors.
This time, there were even some Minyue people who had left the Minyue Kingdom and crossed the sea to settle on a desert island. After hearing the news, they resolutely risked their lives and paddled canoes all the way back.
tribe.
For the Minyue people who merged with the Yuyue people in ancient times: the divine tripod is the light, the sun and the moon, and the summons issued to them by their ancestors and kings.
No one can resist or block this call that comes from the depths of the blood and the bottom of the soul.
Looking at the divine tripod, which was closely protected by the Han army, all the Minyue people, regardless of age or rank, were all prostrate on the ground.
"Kowtow!"
"Two kowtows!"
"Kowtow three times!"
The solemn voice of the official and the sound of the chimes mixed together, making people feel trance-like.
It seems that I have returned to the time when the Holy King ruled the world a long time ago.
The old legends passed down from ancient times and the memories engraved deep in the blood reappeared.
Emperor Yu, the ancestor of all Yue and ancient Fujian, once presented it to the Emperor of Heaven, who honored it with the title "Hong Fan Jiu Tao".
When the sky was full of ten days and the earth was dry and cracked, Hou Yi took out the divine bow from the tripod and shot down nine days.
When Shaokang returned to his country, he knelt down in front of this tripod with tears in his eyes...
As a descendant of Shaokang, Luo Yue naturally cried bitterly at this time.
But in my heart, there are thousands of thoughts tossing and turning.
"After the few people, Minyue may no longer exist..." he lamented, foreseeing the outcome.
The history of the Minyue Kingdom is very ancient.
As early as the Zong Zhou Dynasty, the ancient Qi Min tribes lived on this land.
"The Rites of Zhou" says: Distinguish the peoples of their states, capitals, tribes, four barbarians, eight barbarians, seven mins, nine raccoons, five Rongs, and six Di.
The so-called Fujian people are naturally a branch of the Xia ethnic group.
It is said that they are the descendants of Shu Xiong, the son of King Xiong Yan of Chu. During the reign of Zong Zhou, they came to central Fujian to develop.
These seven tribes use snakes as their totems, so they are called Min people.
After the Qi Min flourished in this area for hundreds of years, in the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Yue sent Ou Yezi to Zhanlu Mountain in central Fujian to forge swords and create the Zhanlu Sword.
From then on, the Yue people and the Fujian people began to mix with each other.
In the late Spring and Autumn Period, Chu destroyed Yue, and the remaining Yue royal family and people were unwilling to surrender to the feud and fled to central Fujian. From then on, the Fujian people merged with the Yue people, and the Minyue tribe emerged.
To this day, all tribes in Fujian and Yue are convinced that they are descendants of Queen Yu and the descendants of the Shaokang family.
Therefore, as soon as the treasure tripod came, Yi Qian's army was immediately mobilized.
No tribe dares to come to Dongye to see and worship this sacred object.
But the problem is...the various ethnic groups in Fujian and Yue will all know and clearly understand the strength and greatness of the Han Dynasty, the suzerain country.
This is terrible!
This means that since the beginning of time, all the struggles and efforts of the Luo family have been in vain.
From then on, the influence and penetration from the Han Dynasty would be pervasive.
But what can he do?
Today's Minyue Kingdom is still relatively strong, with 30,000 soldiers and hundreds of warships.
However, in front of the Han Dynasty, he was still like an ant.
The country next to it is Jiangdu, and Luo Yue also knows that he can defeat Minyue with one hand!
Not to mention the fleets of large ships that cruise across the sea and inland rivers.
They are so huge, so strong, and so invincible!
Last year, a long-distance fleet of flat ships sailed across the sea to Dongye. At that time, he stood in Dongye Port and looked at the hills-like flat ships. The two groups were fighting. The Minyue people along the coast regarded them as gods.
And that fleet was just a squadron of the large ship fleet stationed in South Vietnam.
However, Luo Yue was unwilling to just watch the Minyue Kingdom move from independence to independence and lose its autonomy.
Back then, the late king Wu Zhu and the ministries of Minyue tied their heads to their waists to fight against the Qin Dynasty. They worked hard to establish the foundation of Minyue. He did not want to lose it in his own hands.
Luo Yue once imagined the Han Dynasty's plan to forcibly annex Minyue.
It was nothing more than the ships coming from the sea, the Han army crossing Meiling, and the South Vietnamese army going to Hepu, forming a three-pronged attack.
But he also has ways to fight it.
The worst case scenario is to give up Dongye and retreat to the mountains in central Fujian.
At that time, the Qin army was defeated by the Minyue people using this method.
But now, Luo Yue knew that this last resort, the Minyue Kingdom's final means of resistance, had failed.
Look at these pious people!
The Han Dynasty people used a tripod to establish their status.
Neither the Yue people nor the Fujian people could resist the will of the late king in front of the treasure tripod.
What's even more troublesome is that through this tripod, the Han Dynasty people told the Minyue tribes that our ancestors were the same.
Since they are a family, as long as they are given some benefits, the Minyue tribes will lay down their weapons and submit to the Han Dynasty.
The independence of Fujian and Yue disappeared.
But what can he do?
The people of the Han Dynasty used conspiracy, coming in an upright manner, and crushing them with pure strength and righteousness.
Look at the troops escorting Baoding!
Which one is not a fully armed and tough soldier?
These people alone were enough to disarm the Minyue army.
"I am so ashamed of my late king..." Thinking of this, Luo Yue couldn't help but burst into tears and sobbed.
Behind him, a general wearing armor had an unknown luster in his eyes.
This man is Luo Yue's younger brother Dongye Hou Luo Jia.
This is an extremely ambitious and restless Luo royal family.
"The inheritance passed down by the late king Wu Zhu cannot end like this!" Luo Jia looked at his brother and the tripod surrounded and protected by the Han army, with a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.
"When the Han envoys come to read the edict..." He lowered his voice and whispered to the two officers on the left and right: "You will act according to the plan..."
"No!" Both of them replied solemnly.
They knew very well that the future of the Minyue Kingdom depended on them.
…………………………………………
At this time, Baoding came to Luo Yue.
A eunuch holding an imperial edict walked up to the Fujian and Yue monarchs, spread out the edict, and read out: "Edict of the Emperor: The poem goes: Brothers live outside the wall to resist their insults. Such words are sincere! Before Yue, the concubine of the Shaokang family
Yes! My ancestor was the Xia Ye of Tang and Yu. In ancient times, marriage was a good idea. Now I have inherited the destiny of Heaven and it is Jiabao Ding and Baiyue that will bless the mountains and rivers and moisten Jiangze!"
King Luo Yue of Yue hurriedly came forward to pay homage and said: "I, King Yue of Minyue, would like to obey the imperial edict!"
Everyone else also knelt down, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to express their submission.
The eunuch handed the edict to Luo Yue and said with a smile: "This time our family comes to the country of Fujian and Yue, we are also ordered to return the prince Ying to the king..."
As he said that, a carriage came forward. Luo Ying, the Crown Prince of Minyue, who was wearing a crown and imperial uniform, stepped out of the carriage and came to Luo Yue to worship: "My son worships his father!"
Luo Yue's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw his son.
Judging from the appearance, Luo Ying undoubtedly meets the requirements of Luo Yue and the Minyue ministers.
He is tall, strong, and has a gentle temperament, which makes him look extraordinary.
"My son!" Luo Yue helped his son up with satisfaction.
His health has not been very good in the past two years, so he is very worried that if he dies suddenly, the Minyue Kingdom may be beaten to death.
His brothers, uncles and nephews will probably get into a fight!
Now, Luo Ying's return has made him less worried.
With the help and support of the Han Dynasty, Luo Ying could secure his position even if he was an idiot.
What's more, now it seems that this son is simply the perfect heir!
The other leaders and ministers of the Minyue tribe also nodded inwardly as they looked at the heroic prince.
The prince's appearance and temperament alone were enough to reassure them.
Some people even began to plan to give their daughters to the prince as his concubine.
But at this moment, a change suddenly occurred.
Beside Luo Yue and behind him, the dozens of guards who were supposed to protect him suddenly broke out.
Someone drew out his sword and shouted: "The Han Dynasty is ambitious and wants to annex Fujian and Yue. In order to protect the ancestral temple of the ancestors, we have to die three steps!"
Immediately, dozens of people rushed up with weapons.
The first person to bear the brunt was the Yue King Luo Yue. He was cut down to the ground by a long sword, and blood flowed from his back.
Secondly, there is the eunuch beside Luo Yue.
His head was sliced off by a long sword, and blood spurted out, gradually covering the ground.
Then, these people rushed towards Luo Ying.
Fortunately, Luo Ying was young and had quick reactions. The most important thing was that he had been trained to face sudden attacks.
At this moment, he rolled his body on the ground and escaped the assassin's chop.
At this time, the escorting Han army finally reacted.
Hundreds of guards immediately drew their weapons from their waists, formed a battle formation, rushed over, and intercepted all the assassins.
This whole process took less than half a minute, and like a flash of lightning, the whole scene changed.
Previously, Luo Ying, who was still immersed in the joy of returning home, looked livid and trembling with fear.
And his father, whom he saw only today, was already lying in a pool of blood at this moment.
The sudden change left him helpless.
At this moment, a Han army officer wearing armor walked up to him, helped him up, and said: "Your Majesty, there are rebels plotting rebellion, Your Majesty, please join the army immediately!"
Almost at the same time, Luo Jia stood up, drew his sword, and shouted to all the Minyue people: "The people of the Han Dynasty are despicable. They killed the king and harmed my Minyue. I heard rumors that the emperor of the Han Dynasty even wanted to
Take all the people from Fujian and Yue and make them slaves in his workshop!"
"Dear nobles, subjects of Minyue, defend our country!"
Many people didn't understand why and looked at each other in confusion.
Due to the angle, most people have no idea what happened and what exactly happened?
All they know now is that their king is lying in a pool of blood, but the armored and armed Han army is already waiting for him sternly.
Now that Luo Jia is making such noise, many people are starting to become suspicious.
With just such a moment of hesitation, thousands of fully armed Minyue soldiers gathered around Luo Jia with swords in hand.
At this time, Luo Jia was in high spirits and proud of his resourcefulness.
Today, there are at least 200,000 to 300,000 people from all ethnic groups in Fujian and Yue present.
How many people were there in the Han Dynasty?
Considered a handyman, it only lasts for three to four thousand people.
Two or three hundred thousand versus three or four thousand, he was sure of victory, all he had to do was stir up the Fujian and Yue people.
but……
After waiting for a long time, Luo Jia suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.
The Minyue tribes who should have drawn their swords with him to face the Han Dynasty avoided him as if they were encountering a plague, instead of joining him as they imagined.
But he clearly remembered that he had been spreading the news about what the Han Dynasty people had done in the southwest mountains and the Jiaozhi jungle these days.
In the strict sense, most of the tribes in Fujian and Yue belong to that kind of savage tribe.
He clearly remembered that many tribal leaders said that if the Han Dynasty people were like this, they would rather die than resist.
But what happens now?
"Luo Jia!"
While hesitating, Luo Jia heard a familiar voice. He turned around and found that it was his old enemy, Yue Yanhou Wu Yang.
"You are treasonous, murdering angels, and killing kings. Your crime will not be forgiven. Why don't you quickly abandon your weapons and surrender?" Wu Yang, a man in armor, led hundreds of armored soldiers, walked out of the crowd and shouted.
He looked at the soldiers following Luo Jia and scolded: "You have been deceived by thieves. If you abandon your weapons and surrender, you will avoid death!"
If it's just a time of transcendence, Luo Jia still has hope.
But the problem is that the nobles from various surrounding tribes also gathered around with their people, all of them with angry faces.
Seeing this situation, Luo Jia felt a tightness in his chest and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
He couldn't understand why things turned out like this?
But he never had to think about it.
Because, just when he was stunned, a sharp blade pierced his chest, and a familiar voice said in his ear: "Yin Gong, the commander of the Han Dynasty Embroidery Guard, asked me to say hello to you..."
dt>Jing Ke said he wanted to leave the thorn/dt>
I have been in poor health for the past two days. I have chest tightness, lack of oxygen, and can't breathe. I feel very wrong. I have made an appointment for a full-body examination the day after tomorrow to find out what the cause is.
