It was a cold winter night, but fortunately there was no wind. Several bonfires were lit among hundreds of tents. Xiao Tang and others, as well as Wanyan tribe Aguda, Wuyasu, Wu Qimai and other tribes, all had strong erections.
The leader sat in a ball. In the bitter cold outside the pass, the real women, regardless of their high or low status, all used the skins of tiger, sheep, deer, deer, rats and other animals as clothing to keep out the cold. At this time, Xiao Tang, Yan Qing, and Shi Jin
The other brothers were all wrapped in extremely thick animal skin jackets.
At this time, except for Xiao Tang, Gao Zhanling, Yan Qing and other five brothers, all the real girls feasted and ate very wildly. Aguda's hospitality to Xiao Tang and others was indeed very warm. Although the supplies in the tribe were limited, the banquet was still limited.
The banquet is still filled with "meat plates" made of fat pork cut into large pieces, whole lambs grilled with the skin on, and Jurchen pastries made of pine nuts, walnut kernels soaked in honey and glutinous flour, and then deep-fried.
Favorite food.
However, in addition to Xiao Tang and other distinguished guests, as well as the Jin-level leaders of the tribe, the other Jurchen chieftains ate half-cooked barnyard rice mixed with some pork skin and vegetable leaves, minced meat and vegetables, and minced meat and vegetables.
The blood and entrails of animals are boiled into a soup and served with sauce. ("Dajin Kingdom Chronicle" records: the diet is very humble, using beans as pulp, and also likes half-cooked rice, soaked with raw dog blood and garlic, and
And eat it).
It seems that the food culture of the Jurchens not only lags far behind the Song Dynasty, but even the Khitan people's dining and banquets are much more sophisticated than it. Xiao Tang just filled his stomach in a hurry and put down the meat in his hands, without any appetite.
After having a meal first, in addition to the wine bowls placed in front of everyone, everyone also used a wooden ladle to pass around ladles of wine to drink. Jurchens do not drink with dishes as accompaniments. They may eat first and then drink, or drink first and then eat.
What makes Xiao Tang and others even more confused is that from time to time there is a half-drunk Jurchen man around who has just drunk and acted violently. When the leader saw it, he immediately ordered someone to pull him down and tie him up with a hemp rope.
Xiao Tang, Yan Qing, Shi Jin and others saw that within a short time, five or six half-drunk Jurchen men were tied up. One of them even resisted with the help of alcohol, but was beaten to death.
His tribesmen were knocked unconscious with a stick and dragged down like a dead dog.
Xiao Tang was dumbfounded, then Wanyan Aguda smiled and explained to him: All Jurchens like to drink, but many of them often kill people with knives when they are drunk, so when they are drunk, they must
Be tied up to avoid hurting others...
Even Shi Jin, who had always had a tough temperament, couldn't help but tremble in his heart after hearing this. These girls who thrived in the primeval forest outside the Great Wall were not only fierce and fierce, but each of them seemed to exude an untamable wildness!
Xiao Tang suddenly thought that the Roman Empire, which represented an important source of Western civilization in Europe and controlled about 5 million square kilometers of land in its heyday, collapsed under the invasion of barbarians such as the Vandals. The Song Dynasty, as one of the most important countries in the world today,
The most advanced country in terms of economy, culture and many other aspects was invaded by the Jurchens who were still living in a primitive tribal society, captured the two emperors, and occupied half of the Song Dynasty. When the so-called most civilized country was captured by barbaric forces, after all,
What is the underlying reason?
The emperor's wrath caused millions of corpses to bleed for thousands of miles. The commoner's wrath caused blood to flow in five steps, and the world was pure. Xiao Tang suddenly thought of this sentence in his heart. While the Jurchens were in contact with the civilization of this era, they themselves still revealed a sense of barbarism.
They are not only ordinary people who dare to bleed five steps, but also wild and wild men with untamed ambitions. Whether it is the Liao Kingdom or the later Ming Dynasty, the attitude towards these Jurchens is such as "Eagle Road Tribute"
", "divide and rule" and other restraint strategies treat these alien people as wild beasts to be tamed...
Then these Jurchen tribes, all of them can only be a bunch of wild beasts.
However, Xiao Tang is unable to change these things now. The current Jurchen Alliance is like a wild beast that has been trained by whipping, but its ambition has not faded. When it is completely freed from the shackles, how will it vent itself?
Xiao Tang is also very aware of the furious animal nature.
When Xiao Tang was deep in thought, the wooden ladle had been passed around a few times among the crowd. The wine brewed by the Jurchens was very pungent in the mouth. Although the wine tasted extremely bad, the potency was extremely strong. Many people in the circle had already drank half of it.
Zui. At this moment, Aguda's second son Orulubu staggered a little. He walked into the camp and then stepped out. Xiao Yi, who was beside Xiaotang, only glanced at him suddenly, and his eyes immediately stopped at Orulu.
On the shoulder of mend.
Because Xiao Yi is good at domesticating eagles and falcons, he saw a sea turtle sitting on Orulubu's shoulder. The sea turtle was about 1 meter long. It suddenly flapped its wings a few times, and the length of its unfolded wings was even longer than
Orulubu's height is even longer.
Xiao Yi looked straight. He saw that the feathers of the sea green bird were all white, with only slight brown spots. The chest was slightly silvery gray, and it only had a tuft of golden hair on its forehead. The beak of the sea green bird was thick and long.
, the cuticles above and below the tarsal metatarsals seem to have a metallic texture at night, and the sea green beak and claws are like iron hooks. If you look closely, you will see that they are majestic and majestic.
Xiao Yi was originally a person who loved raising falcons, and the most powerful gyrfalcon with snowy and white feathers he had ever tamed was probably not half as majestic as this sea turtle. It just tickled Xiao Yi's itch.
Half drunk, he kept saying: "The most handsome one carved out of Liaodong is undoubtedly Haidongqing! This one is even more impressive!"
Orulubu was the most delicate and kind-hearted among Aguda's sons. Hearing Xiao Yi praise his Haidongqing, he smiled and replied: "Xiongkuru is hard-earned. He will be in the mountains at the beginning of the next spring."
Maybe we can still tame a few. This falcon that has survived only knows me as its master, otherwise it would be okay for me to give it to the distinguished guest."
After hearing this, Xiao Yi said casually following his drunkenness: "I also know how to boil eagles and train falcons. It would be great if I could catch them and take them back."
Unexpectedly, Wanyan Weben, the eldest son of Aguda, who was standing aside, heard this, and his face suddenly sank! Wanyan Weben was already drunk, and Xiao Yi's unintentional words touched the pain in his heart. At this time,
Wanyan Oben's fists were clenched tightly. He looked towards Xiao Yi coldly and said in a solemn voice, "Are you also a Khitan?"
Xiao Yi didn't react for a while, he subconsciously replied: "Yeah..."
Wanyan Onben sneered twice, and he suddenly threw the wooden ladle containing the wine in his hand to the ground. The people around him who were either laughing, cursing, or whispering stopped and turned to Wanyan Onben and Xiao Yi.
Looking over here.
"The Khitan people opened the Eagle Road and set up eagle envoys to demand tribute from our Jurchen tribe. Every year, they also sent out silver envoys to demand the eagle tribute and took advantage of the opportunity to extort money! Not only did they ask us to pay tribute within a time limit, they also extorted property from us and forced us to do so.
I want my Jurchen daughter who has not left the palace to accompany me to sleep with me! You Khitan dog, what else do you want besides our male Kuru bird?" Wanyan Onben's eyes were blood red due to alcohol and anger, and he sprayed words from his mouth
Smelling of alcohol, he pointed at Xiao Yi and cursed.
