The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no roosters crowing for hundreds of miles. This is the sigh that the former hero made when he was returning from the Northern Expedition to victory in the South. Even the Northern Expedition, which sealed the wolf's place in Xu, was mostly regarded as a misunderstanding in the eyes of later historians.
This is the most shining achievement in his life, but most of them deliberately forget how terrible it is to not hear the crowing of cocks for a hundred miles. It is no wonder that such a military hero never started again after the world was first established.
After the war, it took more than twenty years of rest and recuperation for the dynasty to gradually regain its vitality. Only then did the dynasty regain its prosperity for more than a hundred years after the founding of the previous dynasty.
"Light corvee and low taxes, resting with the people, and promoting martial arts and literature are all discussed in this book. The methods used by the emperors in the south to recuperate the people's livelihood sound like just a few sentences, but we really need to explain them in detail.
I'm afraid this book still doesn't explain the truth clearly."
Although the villages and towns to the north of Binyuan City in Jinzhou are not as prosperous in literary styles as Dayao's Jiangnan, they still have many heirlooms of farming and reading, and the Ji family in Houwan Village is among them. Most of the older generation of people in the village still remember the ancestors of the Ji family.
It was a sight to see someone win the lottery. The music troupe from the county usually had to pay a staggering sum of money to come to the village for weddings and funerals. But that day, the whole troupe held up a guard of honor and played in a lively manner.
From far to near, those who brought the good news rushed ahead. That day, almost everyone in the village received the Ji family’s wedding money. Although twenty coins was not much, every man, woman, and child in the village received one, which was a huge gift.
.
The male master of the Ji family who serves as a private school in the village protects his wife and children tightly behind him. The leather armor of the barbarian warrior who just spoke was stained with ink stains. The Yuhua inkstone broken into several pieces on the floor of the study room proved the origin of the ink stains.
, the frail man who was a private school teacher threw the family stone inkstone away after the barbarian broke in. It failed to cause any real damage to the latter, but it made the samurai attendants near the barbarian become furious and draw their swords.
He was about to chop this frail man who could only hold up a pen and read into a pulp along with the people behind him, but he was stopped by the barbarian warrior with just one sentence.
The men of the Bohuqin family never kill unarmed enemies.
"In the Taiqiang tribe, the Bohuqin family is far behind the other big families in terms of population, cattle and sheep. There are only a few tattered books in Abba's tent. If I hadn't dug them out
, it will probably be burned by my grandma as a kindling thing." The young barbarian warrior closed the book and sighed, "My father has always regretted it since he taught me how to read, saying that these Yao people's characters were broken.
I think the men of the Bohuqin family are good at bow and horse. Among my peers, I have always been the worst at bow and horse."
An equally young retinue retorted: "The Taiqi Ge tribe can draw bows, shoot vultures, and have men who crawl into the belly of horses. They can count them for three days and three nights. But they can read Yao's military books and know how to capture those big cities."
Yes, there is only the head of the family! So what if the Hucha family humiliates the head of the family like this in front of the master..."
As the servant said, the hatred in his heart rose again. It was just because the Hucha family's power in the Taiqige tribe was greater than that of the Bohuqin family.
Not only did the warriors and cavalry seize the power from the family head to go south first, but they also laughed in front of all the Taiqiuge family heads and generals that the family head could not fire a bow of several stones, which was a disgrace to the men of Taiqige.
Face....
"You can see that a good horse has to travel a long way. How many years has it taken for a hero like the Lord to lead the tribes to the city of Yaoren on the grassland." The young barbarian warrior and the head of the Bohuqin family took a deep breath.
, "After a defeat, so many slaves, warriors and horses were killed. The years of accumulation of the entire clan were destroyed under that city. If it were another clan, I am afraid that the position of the master would no longer be known.
There are a few people, but the master is still our master."
The servant scratched the itchy braid under his sheepskin hat, thinking that there might be fleas in it: "Can a person who loses a battle still be a hero..."
"Is the emperor Yao who founded the country considered a hero?"
"Of course it counts.
.”
The grassland tribes have always paid tribute to heroes. Even during the Jiazi period, the Yao army's northern expeditions to the grasslands resulted in rivers of blood. Now, how many grassland heroes whose fathers were killed by the swords of the Yao people are gnashing their teeth and sharpening their knives, thinking about when they will be killed.
Being able to go south with the army to avenge their humiliation did not hinder their respect for those famous generals. As for the famous founding emperor, even though the young servant could not even write his own name in Yao script, what he heard from the old man on the grassland was that
Reading the man's story, I felt a bit of admiration in my heart.
"In your eyes, heroes should not lose battles, but do you know that the defeats in the life of the founding emperor of Yao may not be much less than the victories. Since he started his army, when he only had a few pawns around him, he would only be afraid with one hand.
I can't even count the times when I was defeated so badly that even my favorite concubine taught his old enemy who was king for a while to chop off his head to make utensils and cut his flesh into soup and sent it to his tent." Young Bo Huqin.
The head of the family leisurely glanced at the man who was the tutor of the Ji family school, who was getting angry, and continued to say that this was an absolute taboo in the whole country of Dayao, "This overlord who has occupied most of the world, besides wanting to humiliate the founding emperor of Dayao,
We also need to see his reaction after seeing the meat soup. If the overlord sees that the emperor has any possibility of making a comeback, I'm afraid there will be no more claims about the founding emperor of Dayao."
"Then what did the founding emperor of Dayao do?" The servant's eyes widened.
"He knelt on the ground and thanked the overlord for the meat soup. After eating the meat soup, when someone asked him how it tasted, he said that all rewards from the overlord are delicacies as precious as gold. After hearing this, the overlord was still uneasy.
He also made the emperor's most cherished son a meat soup and gave it to him as a reward. The emperor still finished the meat soup and thanked the overlord for the reward." At this point, the young head of the Bohuqin family couldn't help but pause.
, "On the third day, the overlord made the emperor's mother into meat soup and rewarded him. The emperor burst into tears after taking the bowl made of his mother's head. The overlord's confidant who sent the reward thought he had found the emperor's disloyal heart.
There was irrefutable evidence, but the emperor said that the overlord treated him too deeply and sent him delicious meat soup for three days in a row, which moved him from the bottom of his heart. Then he knelt on the ground and knelt down toward the palace where the overlord lived.
After knocking, eat all the meat soup."
Hearing this, the subordinate couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to eat the flesh and blood of his own relatives without changing his expression. He couldn't imagine what it was like. In the future, the emperor who aspired to conquer the world would have such a moment when he couldn't help himself.
.
"Absurd! Absurd! Even the official history of my official family, Yao, has not been recorded. How can you barbarians who drink blood like hair and drink know it?" The master of the Ji family who always protects his wife and children behind him is the private school teacher with a goatee.
After hearing the words of these two northern barbarians, they didn't even care about their lives. They beat their chests and stamped their feet and said angrily, "Barbarians, barbarians!"
The young head of the Bohuqin family did not look angry. On the contrary, the subordinates could not help but draw their swords to chop up this rotten scholar who was seeking death. However, the young head of the Bohuqin family only glanced at him, and the latter could only take back his sword in anger.
The starting sword gesture.
"There is no horse in the world without a stray hair on its body, and there are no flawless emperors like those in the history books." He seemed to understand the tutor's anger, and then showed a look of sadness, "You Yao people were born in the grassland before us.
People on the Internet are very lucky. There are many, many books to read. The person who told me this story said this, 'Go to the south, those books will have the answers you want.' I think I have found it.
My answer is that I don’t know if there is still a chance. I will ask that person again whether the answer is right or wrong.”
After gently smoothing the pages of the book in his hand that were turned up by the fur of the leather armor, the young head of the Bohuqin family handed it over to the attendant behind him. The latter solemnly wrapped it in three layers of oil paper and tied it tightly with a cowhide rope.
, and then tied together with a dozen other brown paper bags on the back of a loaded horse. The middle-aged private school master who witnessed all this did not stop him. Perhaps the follower's knife just now evacuated all the money he had.
With little courage left, the only thing I did during this time was to open my arms and protect my wife and children tightly behind me.
Before walking out of the Ji family's house, the young head of the Bohuqin family hesitated for a moment, but still did not put down the silver ingot in his right fist. He gave it to Yao with the silver he had snatched from Yao, and he still laughed a little at himself.
He rejected the idea that had come up earlier, then strode out of the house, and got on his horse in the admiring eyes of the Qingqi who had been waiting outside the house for a long time.
The Bohuqin family's light cavalry, wearing leather armor and scimitar-backed bows, clustered around him, waiting for the family master to tell them where to march. However, the family master stopped talking after getting on his horse, and the Qingqiu were also silent all the time. Only the crotch mounts occasionally fired.
Sniff or flick your horse's tail to drive away autumn flies.
At this time, Mochiha Bohuqin thought of the man in white clothes and the snow again, a cart, a groom, and a cart full of wine. He just went from the south to the north to Taichigebu, and every time he arrived at a new place
They chatted in bad barbarian language, exchanged the old wine in the car for the spirits in the herdsmen's tents, and drank together with the singing and dancing herdsmen by the blazing fire under the stars until they were so drunk that they slept on the ground.
He seemed to know a lot of things and had been to many places. The problems of all the children in the Taiqige tribe did not trouble this man. In the end, even the leaders of the Taiqige tribe, Dunmao Chao and Ladd, were alarmed.
With a reward of 5,000 households, I wanted to keep this man in Taiqige, but I didn't get what I wanted.
The nobles and generals of the Taiqiuge tribe were still worried about whether this was Yao's work at first, but after a short period of getting along with them, they all fell in love with this man who was as majestic as a prairie and the good wine in his carriage.
People who wanted to plot evil against this man were knocked down by the unattractive groom and fled. After several fruitless attempts, they only added dozens of injured men. The man in white was still there all day long.
Circulation in different tents.
Mochiha met this man on the day he was about to leave. For the first time that day, the man in white clothes was not drunk, but told him a lot of things, including the story he just told.
The man finally stuffed a scroll into his arms, said the last words to him, and then got on the carriage. According to the man's words and the scroll, the man who was once ridiculed by all the tribesmen because he was not familiar with bows and horses
The children of Bo Huqin's family suddenly became the most respected and wise generals in the entire Taiqi tribe, and then took over as the head of Bo Huqin's family from their aging father.
"Master Qin." Mochiha Bohuqin seemed to feel the warmth of the book that the man gave him through the armor on his chest, "If there is such a day, Mochiha Bohuqin
I will keep my promise to you!"
He looked south on horseback. The weather was fine and the terrain here was high. He could vaguely see the outline of the city that once defeated the Taiqi Ge tribe. It was still so majestic and majestic, like a mountain, blocking Mochiha.
and in front of Qingqi behind him. At this time, he thought of the young Dayao warrior named Wei, and the picture he once painted to himself.
There will come a day when you people on the grassland can ride horses freely and come to Yao's states and counties. The place where people gather is a tall and large city with row upon row of houses and a dazzling array of shops.
There are dozens and hundreds of different kinds of food. The best yarns in the fabric shops look like light clouds when worn on the body. There are rare things and all kinds of fun little things sold by craftsmen. In the book school, there are teachers with
Students like you and me can learn to read and write, and one day the people of Dayao will be able to stand on this grassland without using weapons, and look at the sky like a dome caged in the surrounding fields, and the wind blowing on the grassland and the sight of cattle and sheep.
I hope they will all be alive by then and can stand side by side and see that scene.
