Eight hundred and sixty-ninth section Xianbei surrender (2)
Qiu Keju led his people and walked down the hill.
He stopped several young and energetic Qu Shuai from the tribe who wanted to mobilize troops to confront the Han army on the opposite side.
Because that is the way to death!
The strength of the Xianbei people is not as strong as that of the Han Dynasty.
Not even as good as the Andong Protectorate of the Han Dynasty.
Last autumn, Qiu Keju secretly disguised himself and visited Xinhua City and Pyongyang City in the Han Dynasty.
What he saw and heard along the way deeply shocked him.
The army of the Han Dynasty was fully armored and well-equipped, and its soldiers were all powerful and capable of advancing and retreating in a measured manner.
Even the armed guards of the Han Dynasty merchants who traveled between the mountains and rivers along the way and the rangers who were busy panning for gold in the whistling mountains and forests, almost all of them carried knives and swords and could bend a bow and shoot.
In comparison, Xianbei's army was like a group of primitive savages armed with sticks and stones.
Qiu Keju knew very well that relying on Xianbei's wooden spears, stone hammers, bone arrows and the few bronze weapons, it was almost impossible to win in front of the Han Dynasty soldiers.
Even if you win...
The Xianbei cavalry can defeat the Han army in front of them.
But, can they defeat the Han troops in Xinhua City and Pyongyang City?
Can it defeat the Han army that defeated and annihilated the Zhelan tribe in the front?
the answer is negative.
And it will definitely bring terrible disaster to Xianbei.
That would be a military disaster even more terrifying than the most terrifying white plague on the grassland.
Qiu Kegu, who has been familiar with the Analects of Confucius since childhood, knows very well what is hidden behind the gentle and courteous figures and benevolent and moral words of the Han Dynasty people or Chinese people?
That is the ruthless and ruthless killing, conquest and destruction of the enemy!
Fortunately...
The people of the Han Dynasty treated their own people well enough since ancient times.
It's like licking people.
Four or five years ago, what was Yiren?
They are just like the Dingling people and the Fuyu people. They are weak and can be bullied.
The people he relied on to defend Manchu Korea, let alone the Xiongnu, even Xianbei never looked down upon them.
At that time, the Xianbei people had no slaves anymore, so they went north or south to capture the Dingling, Fuyu and Hao people scattered in the wilderness.
Loot their population and slave wealth.
The Yi people didn't even dare to fart, and they had to pay a large amount of tribute every year in exchange for the Xianbei cavalry not to invade their homeland.
But what now?
Qiu Kegu was really dumbfounded during his autumn trip to Anton.
In the past, Yaoren, who was attached to Weiman Korea and bullied and bullied by everyone, completed his transformation in just a few years.
Haoren no longer calls himself Haoren, nor does he no longer have disheveled hair or tattoos.
They now claim to be of Shaogao bloodline, after the Qingyang clan.
They are pure Chinese remnants.
They abandoned the tribal way of life in the past.
They moved to live in strong and warm houses, and were neighbors with Han Dynasty immigrants or soldiers.
At home, they no longer worship the tiger god totem in the past, but instead worship a phoenix bird totem that flutters its wings high. They believe in a god named "Guankou Erlang".
Many of the former Yiren nobles even moved into mansions in Xinhua or Pyongyang, with rich doors and carved pavilions, and luxurious clothing and food.
All the Xianbei people who saw their lives were dumbfounded.
On the grassland, the leader of a tribe, such as Qiu Kegu, could only eat meat two or three times a month, wear clothing made of animal skins, and use utensils made of bones or stones.
Only when worshiping ancestors and gods can bronze and gold appear.
But among the aristocratic group.
They were embroidered and embroidered. They came and went in horse-drawn carriages, and were attended by servants.
At home, there are many beautiful wives and concubines.
On the dining table, chicken, duck, and fish were spread all over the dining table.
The utensils used for serving rice are beautiful lacquered wooden bowls, and the knives used for cutting meat are extremely sharp iron knives.
In order to worship his ancestors, Lord Canghai of Yiren is said to have donated dozens of gold artifacts to Emperor Shaogao, the ancestor of the Qingyang clan, whom he considered to be the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty.
The lives of the nobles and common people in Yiren deeply shocked Qiu Kegu and his followers who saw all this at that time.
It makes them feel itchy, envious and jealous.
On the grassland, as long as people can be fed, there will be countless herdsmen and vagrants who will work as slaves and maids, traveling thousands of miles to serve.
In order to have enough to eat, each tribe did everything possible.
Some people even risk their lives and go deep into rivers and lakes in the wilderness in the cold winter just to cut through the ice and get the frozen fish under the ice. They go into the mountains to fight tigers and leopards just to get their meat.
Take it home.
From the day he decided to open up mine fields, Qiu Keju had already made preparations.
On the one hand, of course, he was independent and gradually strengthened his own tribe. Then he took advantage of the Han-Hungarian war to invade the Han Dynasty to the east and plunder the wealth. He conquered and enslaved Fuyu and Dingling to the north, and annexed Wuheng to the west.
Use arrows and blood to conquer a huge empire.
And the other way...
Just in case the first one doesn't work, or Xianbei's development encounters difficulties and crises.
Then don't hesitate to hug Han Chao's thigh.
Even if you just serve as a dog for the Han Dynasty!
After Haoren boasted that he was from the Qingyang clan, he was regarded as a compatriot of the Xia Dynasty by the Han Dynasty, so he received preferential treatment in all aspects.
Their status is even higher than Zhenfan and King Han!
The Han Dynasty allowed Hao people to join the army, live in cities, and even serve as officials just like the Han people.
Canghaijun Jinxin could even travel freely between Anton and China at any time, pay homage to the emperor, and communicate with the princes.
It is true that the appearance and skin color of Yi people are the same as those of the Han Dynasty.
Xianbei and Wuheng were completely different from the Han Dynasty people in appearance, customs and skin color.
But Qiu may have a trump card.
It was this trump card that gave him the confidence to cultivate mine fields without fear of being held accountable by the Han Dynasty.
It was this trump card that gave him the urge to cultivate mine fields.
This trump card is currently being held in his hands, carefully held like a treasure.
This is a small jade object.
The ancient years have left mottled traces on its body. The jade is very small. It is no bigger than a palm, but it looks majestic and powerful, as if a king had held it to command the world countless years ago.
The most important thing is its shape. It is a small, curved, snake-like creation.
The dark green jade carves it vividly.
Its snout extends forward and its eyes protrude.
There is no doubt that this is a piece of dragon jade.
And it’s the dragon jade from endless years ago.
This was discovered by Qiu Kegu in the lower reaches of the Rao Le River, near the Wuheng people, before he succeeded the Xianbei people.
Along with this dragon jade was discovered a site where ancestors were buried deep underground.
This dragon jade was enshrined on the altar of that site at that time.
Qiu Keju still remembers that there were many jade turtles with no legs, tails or heads scattered around the altar.
At that time, Qiu Keju didn't take it seriously and just thought it was fun.
So they took away the dragon jade on the altar, and then had the remains of the ancestors buried.
Until, two years ago, an envoy from the Han Dynasty arrived. Then, the Han Dynasty's "Poems" and "Books" were given to him as gifts.
From these ancient books of the Han Dynasty, Qiu Kegu discovered an amazing and strange record.
In the Han Dynasty, there was a group of ancestors named Fuxi.
The Fuxi clan, like the Qingyang clan of Shaogao, could not be more pure than the ancestral kings of the Xia Dynasty.
Shaogao was the Emperor of Heaven in Dongyi, and Fuxi was the source of civilization in the Xia Dynasty.
Fuxi performed the Eight Diagrams and the I Ching was created.
Hetu Luoshu, which is closely related to him, was regarded by the Han Dynasty as the highest cultural flourishing period.
The Master once lamented: If the phoenix and the bird do not come, and if the river does not come out of the picture, I am already dead!
Fuxi and turtles are closely linked.
The divine turtle carries Hetu Luoshu on its back and presents it to the Holy King. This is considered a symbol of destiny in Zhuxia culture.
Legend has it that Fuxi is half human and half snake.
More importantly, it is said that Fuxi had a younger sister, the goddess Nuwa, who could create humans from clay and cut off turtles to mend the sky.
And the jade turtle he found in the ruins had no legs, tail or head.
It is very similar to the legend of Nuwa mending the sky.
This made Qiu Keju terrified, especially when the news of Mayi's victory came.
Qiu Keju was so frightened that he held the jade dragon, returned to the original ruins, and kowtowed three times.
The reason is simple. The Han emperor once again proved his divinity. The actions of the Huns were completely foreseeable.
Doesn't this mean that the altar at the ruins may have been left by the Fuxi clan in ancient times?
Although I don’t know why the Fuxi family came from the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty thousands of miles away to the wilderness of the Northern Kingdom to erect this altar.
However, Qiu Kegu also has a trump card.
A trump card that can protect yourself and your tribe.
You have no evidence, yet you dare to boast that you are a descendant of the Qingyang family after Shaogao.
I, Xianbei, have now found the ruins of the Fuxi clan.
Then my Xianbei is different from China even though my skin color, customs and beliefs are different.
But it could also be Empress Fuxi who lives in Yi Dihuang's clothes.
Who can prove that he from Xianbei is not a descendant of Fuxi?
In China, couldn't even the Xiongnu find evidence to prove that he was a descendant of Xiahou?
As for the majority of the Xianbei ethnic group, they migrated here after the defeat of Donghu...
If the Xianbei people and the Han Dynasty people didn't tell such details, would anyone care?
Holding the jade dragon in his hands and thinking about his words, Qiu Keju led his tribe members on foot down the mountains to the plain.
Then, he raised his head and looked at the Han army's formation in the distance.
He raised the jade dragon in his hand high, walked out of the formation, and shouted to the Han army's formation: "Why is Master Wang here?"
This time he used Chinese, which he had gradually become proficient in. Now, around Anton, even the leader of the Ding Ling people would not be able to get along without knowing Chinese.
……………………
When Chen Jiao saw Qiu Kegu appear, she felt relieved.
Qiu Keju and Chen Jiao knew each other.
This crazy guy who wantonly distorted Kong Zhongni's Analects has long been on his watch list.
As early as last year, not long after arriving in Huaihua, Chen Jiao had her eyes on this guy.
There is no other reason. Everyone is saying that the Xianbei people are developing well fields.
Although Ida has been eliminated long ago.
But that’s also a field!
Chen Jiao had made a plan. When the Xianbei people had dug almost all the well fields, he would go there to pick peaches.
The skill of picking peaches is an innate skill that the dandy and the second generation ancestor must master. The skill of picking peaches is directly related to the food problem of the second generation ancestor.
If Chen Xu hadn't played a trick like losing the patrol, Chen Jiao would probably have endured it for another two years.
When the peaches are ripe, he will pick them again.
It's a pity that Chen Xu's attack occurred prematurely, so Chen Jiao had to change his tactics.
Even if the peach is still very green, it has to be picked.
Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to eat the little peach!
"King Xianbei, do you know what your crime is?" Chen Jiao spurred her horse out and asked in a loud voice: "Without the emperor's order, you built a well field privately, do you want to rebel?"
Although it is said that Xianbei has never been the territory of the Han family, and the Xianbei king has never been ordered by China.
But since ancient times, the Chinese dynasty has not cared about whether you Yi Di paid tribute to labor and capital or recognized labor and capital?
Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.
Not to mention Xianbei, they are the Xiongnu, the Western Regions, and the Kingdom of the Far West. The Han family can also say without politeness that they are all my concubines!
Not convinced?
Come and hit me!
Ever since the Three Kings and Five Emperors, China has been so domineering.
Han Feizi recorded a story from ancient times: During the reign of Shun, some seedlings refused to obey, and Yu was about to attack them. Shun said: No, practicing martial arts without high virtue is unethical, so he cultivated virtue for three years, held the post of Qi Wu, If you have seedlings, take them.
The Miao people in this story should be in today's Han River Basin according to their region.
At that time, it was not the territory of Zhuxia.
But Emperor Shun and Emperor Yu still regarded her as their concubine.
As for Chen Jiao?
He had already abandoned the word "cultivation" in his heart, and he only wanted to make big news.
I don’t care if Xianbei is not part of the Han Dynasty!
He only knows one fact now: After the Battle of Mayi, the power of the Han and Huns has turned. The Huns will inevitably shrink, while the Han Dynasty will inevitably expand.
This expansion direction can be north or east.
In other words, strike first and gain the upper hand, strike later and suffer disaster.
This has been the case with China's war since the Warring States Period!
If your hands are not fast enough, the credit will go to someone else.
Besides...
Chen Jiao looked at the well fields cultivated by the Xianbei people in front of her.
Although it's not much, it's at least tens of thousands of acres.
It can produce more than 100,000 shi of rice, wheat and millet every year, enough to support a large city of 3,000 households!
Moreover, we can continue to cultivate the land. The water resources here are abundant and the land is fertile. It would be easy to cultivate another 300,000 acres of land. This would be enough to support a large county of 10,000 households!
Even in the Spring and Autumn Period, if you can win a county with ten thousand households for the country, it will be enough to be named a minister, rank among the five tripods, and achieve great achievements.
In Chen Jiao's opinion, this credit must not be taken away by others.
So he cleared his throat and said: "King Xianbei should quickly and openly apologize, follow me to Chang'an, and confess his sins in front of the emperor. Only in this way can he be forgiven, otherwise, he will be made a fan! Don't say that you didn't predict what you said! "
Chen Jiao had drafted these words in her mind countless times, thinking that it would be beneficial and polite. The Xianbei King had no other way out except to expose his flesh and follow her back obediently to plead guilty.
However, what the King of Xianbei said next made Chen Jiao stunned.
I saw that the Xianbei King did take off his clothes and exposed his flesh, but he held up a small jade object and said: "The general does not know something. Although we Xianbei people opened the mine fields privately, we are guilty of the emperor, but , we are indeed not disobedient, indeed not disobedient, nor rebellious, but... We, the descendants of the Xia Miao clan, after the Fuxi clan, are scattered among the barren clothes of Yi and Di. We worshiped our ancestors and sought our roots, and received enlightenment from our ancestors' gods. The gods looked down at us secretly and told me in witchcraft words: You, the nobles of China who came after Fuxi, should seek your roots and learn about your ancestors... Follow the orders of the gods, and I will act accordingly. , get the relics of our ancestors, get the gift of the Jade Dragon, get the omen of the river map..."
Chen Jiao narrowly escaped falling off the horse.
River map!!!
River map!!!!
After King Wen, Hetu never appeared again????(To be continued.)
ps: During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the ancestral land of the Xianbei people was in Raoleshui, which is today's Xilamulun River, and this place happened to be the radiation range and even the core area of Hongshan Culture.
Therefore, it should be possible to find Hongshan cultural relics.
