1272 Chill of the gall
On the day of the banquet, the sky was cloudless and sunny since dawn.
As early as dawn, all parties who were fortunate enough to participate in the grand event drove straight to this stone city on the Dragon Head Plain. At that time, the morning light was still thin, and the night had not yet faded, and the newly built city was like a tiger lying on the top of the plain, and the city walls were made of huge original stones, undecorated, and the corners of the city walls were rough, but they revealed a vigorous and heroic atmosphere.
At this time, the defense of the city has been handed over to the general's personal soldier Shengwu Army, and there are tall and strong Shengwu soldiers standing above and below the city wall, although the specific appearance of these soldiers is not clear in the hazy vision, but the hideous lines of the iron armor vaguely outlined can still make people feel shocking when they look at it.
This time, there were more than 700 people in total, the sky was not yet bright, and all the participants had arrived, and then counting the entourage of their respective families, there were thousands of people, and the carriages and horses were lined up until the dragon's head. The victory is that the area is open, and even if so many people gather outside, it is not crowded, and there is still a large area of idle land.
The ban in Shicheng has not been released yet, and everyone is bored waiting outside, so it is inevitable that they will find relatives and friends to talk about it. There is no shortage of occlusion in the Guanzhong realm, and the villagers are also familiar with each other. When people who are familiar with each other gather, they generally show the difference in their characteristics.
Among these invitees, the highest status is naturally those old families of the family personally invited by Xingtai, such as Duling Du's and Wei's who have a high reputation and are not weak in the countryside, especially the Du family, who now still has a lot of influence and power in Xingtai, and even has in-laws with the Wu Xing Shen family, who was born as a general.
Although the Duhe clan has very little contact with the clansmen who stayed in the Duling countryside, this does not prevent the Duling Du clan from taking advantage of its momentum to become the leading family in Guanzhong at present.
Even before dawn, Du Yan, the eldest patriarch of the Jingzhao Du clan who stayed in the countryside, led his children to the Longshou Plain early, and was not in a hurry to ascend to the plain, but just stood on the left side of the road with a smile on his face and greeted the villagers who came later, as if he put himself in a welcoming position.
After seeing the Du family like this, Wei Kai and Wei Chen, who were young and headed by Wei's, also occupied the other side of the road, and the atmosphere of disharmony between the two sides was not concealed.
These two families are a few old clans in Jingzhao, and they also live together in Duling County, which should have been a good family. But Du's reputation is much higher than that of Webster, a single Chinese Dynasty Du pre-explosion Webster has been the ancestors of the past dynasties so far, although Webster can also be traced back to the former Han Dynasty, but in the view of Jingzhao Du, who was not weak at that time, Webster is an out-and-out new door, and then Wuzong.
After Yongjia, most of the important clansmen of the Du clan went south, and it was no longer enough to maintain the reputation of the village. On the contrary, it was Merriam-Webster, who was not very conspicuous earlier, because he concentrated on running the countryside, but gradually grew stronger. There are two ethnic groups in a county, and it is inevitable that there will be disputes, and the acres of land, people, and even agricultural irrigation are the reasons for the township fighting.
With the passage of time, with the rise of the platform, no one expected that Du's could also benefit, and the old tree was reborn. Shi Duhe, the head of the line, that is the arm that General Shen relied on, the Du family has the rise of such a powerful clan, even if they don't take care of it deliberately, the villagers of Sanfu naturally don't dare to slack off on the Du family.
Like Du's previous contact with the villagers and fame for Xiao Shen's help, it is enough to show that his family's decline has been swept away and he is once again famous. Although Du Yan did not serve in the state and county, he was elected by the villagers to write and compile the "Guanlongmen First Examination", which held the township reputation arbitration in one fell swoop, and made the people of the time pay great attention to it.
On the other hand, Jingzhao Wei's is much more lonely, his family is also rural, and his defeat is also rural, Wang Shiqianglong entered, how could he tolerate the growth of the martial arts portal near Chang'an! What's more, Du Hong was entrenched in Chang'an earlier, and Wei, as a representative of Sanfu Haoqiang, was indeed suspected of secretly funding.
Li Chong of Jingzhao Mansion entered the county, first took the Wei family, and there was a conclusive evidence of the Yongzhou Assassin Mansion linking Du Hong, and the strongest branch of the Wei family was directly cut off, leaving Wei Kai and Wei Chen, who are young and up, to be in charge of the family, and naturally they are not the opponents of the Du family.
The invitation to Webster this time can be regarded as an open side of the net, to show that there is no intention of exterminating Webster. After all, Webster has been operating the countryside for decades, and once it is completely uprooted, the implication is too deep, or the tragedy of Hongnong Yang will be repeated. If the new Guanzhong decision rashly sets off a storm involving thousands or even tens of thousands of people, it will have a very adverse impact on the course of various affairs in the future.
The Webster children put on a-for-tat posture and made the contradiction with Du's public, which seems to be young and vigorous, and does not know how to restrain, but in fact, it is not a way of self-existence. After the Du clan was proud in the past two years, he couldn't help but get carried away, and he was cautious in some small sections, and being able to have a not weak hometown feud door to stare at them was also a happy situation for Jingzhao Mansion.
Some of the other invited clans are not as ostentatious as these two. Especially the Beidi Fu family, the Beidi Fu family was also an extremely important family celebrity during the Wei and Jin dynasties, especially the Chinese and Korean Fu Xuan led the trend of the world. Therefore, it is special because although the Fu family looks at the north, the momentum of the county has already withered to the extreme.
The northern land is located outside the three auxiliaries, and the multi-Rong Hu live together, which is not conducive to the inheritance of the crown belt family from generation to generation. And it is true that the main branch of the Fu family has left their hometown a long time ago and moved to Qinghe, and then went to Jiangdong with the tide of southward migration, and gradually disappeared among the overseas Chinese.
At present, the so-called Beidi Fu clan is purely that after Jiang Yu came to Guanzhong, he searched for the remnants of the Fu clan in Guanzhong, and stood up to inherit the influence of the Beidi Fu family. As for whether this move will cause dissatisfaction among the people of the Fu clan in Jiangdong, this is not in the consideration of Xingtai.
In the final analysis, the focus of highlighting the family voices of these Guanlong clans is to strengthen the governance of Guanzhong, rather than really picking up these old clans from the dust.
Therefore, although the Fu family of Beidi has a great name, but this time they came to Longshouyuan only one old man and two cowering young people, and in terms of weather alone, they are not even as good as those children of the townspeople. However, because he took the yellow building on behalf of the platform, no one dared to underestimate it, and everywhere he passed, everyone avoided the left side of the road and bowed his hand.
The people present, in addition to the villagers in Guanzhong, there is also a group of people who are not weak, that is, Haoqiang from Longshang. There are about a hundred of these people, and there are only a few hundred people including the attachés, which is weak in the number of the entire Dragon Head Plain, but the momentum is definitely not weak, all of them are fierce, Le Marton stands in one place, and few people around dare to approach the past.
On the one hand, it is the oppression brought about by the long-term dependence on the terrain, for the people of Sanfu, Longmin is the need to be vigilant, and there is a possibility of anti-Liang at any time The robbers, on the other hand, the living environment of Longshang is naturally worse than that of Guanzhong, and it has developed the brave blood of Longmin.
Although the current Guanlongju are all under the rule of Xingtai, after all, the time is still shallow, and a thorough integration has not yet been carried out, and the estrangement between them is still deep.
If Longmin was isolated because of his fierceness, then there was a group of people present who were extremely weak and pitiful, that is, a part of the Qiang Hu chieftains. The people of Guanzhong, half of Rong Hu, Xingtai created Guanzhong, naturally it is impossible to completely exclude such a large number of Qiang Hu people, so this time the general banquet was in the flow, and dozens of Hu chiefs were elected by the local government to attend the meeting.
The so-called thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, no one has always been proud, and this is very suitable for this group of Hu chiefs.
Although these people may not have any kinship with Tu Ge and Qianhu who ruled Guanzhong before, when facing the strong and powerful Jin people in Guanlong, because they are all Hu people, they often become the objects of dependence, acting as the minions of Tu Ge and Qianhu, bullying and humiliating the Zhuxia people in Guanzhong.
But now that the Taiwan has been restored and the king's order is prosperous in Guanzhong, the hard days of these Hu people have come. Although the officials of Xingtai have also been preaching that Xingtai is magnanimous and broad, as long as Zhuhu can be obedient and law-abiding, they are also good citizens under the protection of the king's order, but in practice, it is naturally impossible to treat everyone equally.
For example, Bian Hu in Longshang can still benefit from Xingtai's restraint policy and maintain a certain degree of independence. But the Hu people within the three auxiliaries do not have this kind of preferential treatment, since the recovery of Guanzhong, Xingtai has been encircling and suppressing the wandering thieves in the Qing realm, and in the process of suppressing bandits, it is very normal to kill a few Hulu tribes by mistake.
After all, in the past few years, Zhu Hu has been the main force in the trouble, and looking at the past, all of them are similar to the ferocity, who can guarantee that those Hu people are not disguised by bandits? The matter of suppressing bandits is as fast as wind and fire, who has the energy to interrogate them on the battle array to question whether they are guilty or not? The safest way is to kill and ask again, and as for the dead person who can't open his mouth to complain, he can only say sorry.
Under the suppression of Wang Shi's devastating and decaying forces, even if these Hu people are wronged in their hearts and want to collude to make trouble, they have no chance to grow stronger. In particular, Liu Changming, the unsuccessful puppet king of the Han Dynasty, was chased and killed all the way from the north to northern Shaanxi and even Hetao in a few months, so that there was no more powerful Hu force in Deguan who could command the Hu group to cause rebellion.
Therefore, at the beginning of this year, when the Yongzhou Assassin Mansion announced that the Guanzhong bandit purge was fruitful and temporarily ended, the happiest people were not the people of Guanzhong Jin, but the Hu people who survived this round of cleaning.
Later, Jingzhao and other county governments issued a strict ban on iron among the Hu people in the territory, and all households with more than two iron in Tibet were immediately hunted and killed, which was not only not a cool order for those Hu people, but a kind of protection, which meant that they Hu people had no ability to organize and arm, and they did not need to be killed again.
Therefore, after the ban was issued, Hu Zhong took the initiative to obey wherever he passed within Sanfu, and obediently handed over the Tibetan iron in the house without delay. In order to show that there is no suspicion, many of the wealthy families among the Hu people do not even dare to keep the frame.
Guanzhong's troubles are not small, but whether they are worrying also depends on the comparison of their forces. Liangzhou was naturalized, Longshang was established, and the remnants of Tu were driven out of northern Shaanxi, and the entire Guanzhong was closed and beaten by dogs.
Wang Shijing's army was assembled in Guanzhong, and tens of thousands of new soldiers of the Guanxi Military Government were built, with such a powerful army, if it could not suppress the hundreds of thousands of scattered Hu people in Guanzhong, it would be really strange.
And thanks to the unique closed terrain of Guanzhong, Xingtai has also achieved the best effect on the suppression and control of the Hu people in Guanzhong, and it is even better than the Central Plains, which has been in rule for a longer time. After all, in the land of the four wars in the Central Plains, there is no such closed and undisturbed environment, and it can be completely subdued from all sides. Therefore, it is actually difficult to replicate the iron-blooded approach of Guanzhong in other places.
Now these surviving Hu people in Guanzhong have already been killed, like the humble and obedient servile state of the former chief Fu Hong outside the Jingzhao Official Office, not because of his natural love of self-inferiority, you must know that he was also a proud party in Guanlong, so there is no majestic posture in the early years, or because he has to bow his head under this cruel reality.
