Chapter 35 Heaven chooses the strong to be respected

Due to the different customs, there seems to be no concept of tribe in the Fuso continent, they all take the city-state as a living group, and their city keeper is named Wizilopochtri, which is actually the god of war in their local ancient mythology, and Wizilopochtri is responsible for the defense of the city-state, as well as the attack on the enemy, and controls all the armed forces in the city-state.

The man who was in charge of the city-state was called Tlaloc.

Watching Li Shimin raise the dragon flag, they naturally thought that this was their new king. As a result, the tribes of the various city-states, such as Vezilopochtri and Tlalok, all brought young warriors to worship.

Li Shimin can accept the leaders of various city-states to visit every day, because there are too many languages, although Du Ruhui is smart, he only knows a few indigenous languages, they are all like mutes, gesticulating, gesturing and talking, anyway, to complete the communication.

In fact, their various city-states offered Li Shimin a piece of dog's head gold, or some silver, and Li Shimin also gave them some silk or tea.

After more than ten days, Li Shimin suddenly discovered that a kind of city-state totem was Xian Yu Hu, the leader of Forbes Xuanfu, and Li Shimin was able to remember this special leader, mainly because of the surname "Xianyu", Xianyu Pavilion is the hometown of the sub-surname Xianyu Kingdom, and it is the area of merchant activities.

Moreover, this Xianyu Tiger stared at Li Shimin and roared, looking very excited, or Cheng Zhijie simply and rudely smashed him with a shield several times, which finally calmed him down.

Li Shimin looked at Xian Yuhu and said strangely: "Aren't you leaving?" Why is it here again? ”

Xian Yuhu turned to point to the shield in the hands of the guards beside Li Shimin, and his expression became excited and crazy. At this time, several warriors of the Forbes city-state set up a rattan sedan chair and carried a gray-haired old man.

The white-haired old man looked at the tiger-headed shield in the hands of the guards of the Qin Palace, he suddenly struggled, got off the rattan sedan chair, and then threw himself at the tiger-shaped shield.

The Forbes people frowned and didn't know what to do.

The gray-haired old man of Forbes began to chant in a unique rhythmic voice.

Listening to the old man's singing, Du Ruhui's face became strange. Because he couldn't understand Xian Yuhu's words, he could understand the words of this elderly Forbes man.

The words spoken by the elderly Forbes people are the Yayan of ancient times, and the so-called Yayan is the ancient Mandarin.

Du Ruhui was erudite and talented, and while listening, he explained to Li Shimin: "We come from a distant kingdom of heaven, and our life was originally rich and happy, but one day the heavenly fire began to burn in the west, and the heavenly fire swept and burned the Yindu and burned the prosperous Yindu into ruins. Some were burned to death by the fire, and some were punished as slaves. Under the leadership of the Holy King, we have abandoned our homeland and left the kingdom of heaven......"

Li Shimin's eyes widened, and he pointed to the old man in Forbes and muttered, "They...... They ......"

Du Ruhui said: "It is very likely that they found out that we were in different periods, not because of our dragon banner, which is similar to their Quetzalcoatl, but because of this tiger-shaped shield. ”

Of course, Li Shimin understands that the cast steel tiger head wrapped in this shield is only unique to China with freehand sculpture, and although there are tigers on the Fusang continent, they are jaguars, but they are jaguars, but the jaguars belong to a species between jaguars and jaguars. It can be said that the largest tiger in China is the Siberian tiger, with an adult weight of about 250 kilograms, and even the relatively small South China tiger has about 150 kilograms, but the jaguar is only about 100 kilograms.

This huge gap can be seen unless you are blind.

Du Ruhui tried to use this Forbes person to communicate with Yayan, and sure enough, the elderly Forbes people could understand Du Ruhui's words, of course, there were too many obstacles to their communication, Du Ruhui's Yayan and Forbes Yayan are somewhat different, roughly equivalent to the difference between Hakka and Cantonese.

Older Forbes people tell a whole story. Under the leadership of the Holy King (You Houxi), the 250,000 Yin Shang soldiers and civilians were divided into five routes and began a fleeing road of tens of thousands of miles. According to this chanted hymn (let's call it a hymn. In later generations, the Yin Fubu people still insisted that they were descendants of the Yin people. Some people asked why they were not Han Chinese or Tang descendants, even if they were of Chinese descent, and they replied that "they were passed down from generation to generation")

The Yin Fubu people have always passed down the legends of the kingdom of heaven, especially the worship of Quetzalcoatl, although the dragons of China are very similar to Quetzalcoatl, in fact, there are essential differences. The Yinfubu tribe was a branch of the Wutu tribe, one of the five major migratory royal families, three thousand years ago.

Although the guards of the Qin Palace's palace wore black armor, although the style was not the same as the legendary Heavenly Kingdom system, they were the same as them in terms of eyebrows and eyes. But the other side took steel armor, and it was beautifully made, which was by no means something that the Indians could make. Moreover, this standard style of armor is in the same vein as the legendary Heavenly Armor style.

After a long time, the middle-aged Yin Fubu finally finished singing this story. He knelt on the bow of the boat and yelled at Li Shimin: "Is Yin Di well? ”

Li Shimin finally understood at this time.

Du Ruhui told the Forbes old man that Li Shimin was the king of Qin in the Tang Kingdom.

Hearing the word "Tang", the old man slowly nodded towards Li Shimin.

motioned to Li Shimin to salute him.

Li Shimin was stunned, and through the exchange, the old man protested to Du Ruhui. He said that the Tang State was a princely state under the rule of the Shang king, while the Xianyu State belonged to the principality of the Shang State, and Li Shimin should pay him a salute.

Hearing this explanation, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.

Li Shimin had no choice but to patiently explain to Xian Yuhu and others that the Zhou State had been destroyed for more than a thousand years, and now the world was the Tang State.

Hearing the demise of the Zhou Kingdom, the surrounding Forbes people shouted loudly: "Yin Di'an! ”

There is no wind and no waves, and any kind of doctrine or legend will have a certain factual basis. Whether the Native Americans are the remnants of the Yin Shang Dynasty or not, there is no room for survival if there is no consistent evidence. There are countless races in the world. However, Huaxia has never spoken of legends about the remnants of other ethnic groups or indigenous tribes.

The Indians are the main source of origin of the remnants of the Yin Shang people. In 1898, Kang Youwei failed to reform the law and went into exile in the United States. When I watched the United States, I was amazed: Why do these American people's eyes, skin, hair, and voice look so much like Chinese? Subsequently, he visited Mexico and was personally received by the President of Mexico. After researching the ruins of the Mayan civilization, he found: "There is a brick and a stone, a city and a temple here, which is no different from the Chinese civilization of my 10,000 years."

Later, on the eve of the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1910, the Qing Dynasty government sent Ouyang Geng as a special envoy to travel east to Mexico to handle the compensation case for killing more than 300 overseas Chinese during the Mexican Revolution. One day after Ouyang Geng finished the project, representatives of more than 100 local Indian families came to Ouyang Geng to petition. They told Ouyang Geng: During the Mexican Revolution, 750 Indians were killed, these Indians were of Chinese origin, descendants of the Yin people, called Yin Fubu tribe, who arrived here from the Kingdom of Heaven 3,000 years ago through the pontoon island of Heaven. Ask the Qing government to protect the claim as well.

The fact that the remnants of the Yin Shang went to the Americas is not far-fetched by Chinese scholars, but because many Mesoamerican peoples themselves admit that they are the remnants of the Yin Shang. China began to slowly become familiar with the American continent in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, when even the Central Plains was in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

The Yin Fubu tribe located in the Yucatan Peninsula is one of the 25 tribes of the 25 armies of the remnants of the Yin Shang people, and many of these 250,000 soldiers and civilians disappeared into the sea because they had no chance to reach the American continent because of the storm. The tribes that barely reached the Americas were also attacked and killed by the local natives because of heavy losses, and the surviving tribes had very small populations, and some intermarried with the natives and were slowly assimilated by the natives. But there are also some tribes that are surrounded by strong enemies and stubbornly persever.

Forbes people told each other that Li Shimin and they were from the Tang Dynasty, the kingdom of Yin Shang! ”

Li Shimin is worried that he will not be able to rule the entire Qin Wangcheng, there are more than 50 city-states that have been discovered around the Qin Palace, Li Shimin also thought about following Zhao Tuo's example and intermarrying with the natives, the key is that Zhao Tuo has an army of 500,000 people, and he can integrate Baiyue in a short time, but Li Shimin only has more than 100 people, even if they all become stallions, if they want to give birth to a nation, they don't know that they will have to be in the year of the monkey.

Li Shimin promulgated the Qin Emperor's Decree in the palace of the King of Qin, claiming that he was ordered by the Emperor of the Tang State to come thousands of miles to find the remnants of Yin Shang and return to Yin with them.

With the news of this decree, more than 100 soldiers of the Qin Palace, began to study Tang Yan with the Forbes people, and then, using the advanced agricultural technology of the Tang Dynasty, led them to live a prosperous life.

Under the rule of the city-state of Qinwangcheng, the Forbes clan was truly renamed the Tang people, and there were more than 5,000 people in the eight surnames of the Forbes clan, including Hua, Xianyu, Zi, Wen, Ai, Yin, Fu and Guzhu, becoming the first batch of Tang people. They enjoyed first-class national treatment, and not only did they not have to pay taxes, but they could also become officials, samurai, and scholars at all levels.

Just paying taxes makes the Tlaloc of other city-states anxious, why can Forbes enjoy tax exemption and we can't?

So, they found out that they claimed to be descendants of the Yin people, and they could be exempt from taxes.

So the wise city-state began to pour into everyone, and we are also the remnants of Yin Shang, from the distant kingdom of heaven.

Li Shimin sadly discovered that the Aztecs did not care about blood at all, and in particular, intermarriage with the Texcoco and Tlacopan was very common. In a bad phrase, the Aztecs were a mongrel people, with almost eighty percent of the people having two or more bloodlines. He himself was an Aztec, his grandfather was a Kolakopan, and his great-grandfather was a Korako. Many people can't even tell what their pedigree is.

Only then did Li Shimin discover that in fact, the Aztecs were like the late Qin and early Han dynasties, whether they were Qin people, Yan people, or Chu people, they could all be called Tang people. In order to facilitate and save trouble, when the household registration is reorganized, it is uniformly defined as a Tang person, and only the surname is retained.

However, there were really people who did not open their eyes, and the Chechimec, who had a good relationship with the southern overlord of the Aztec Empire, the Tikal Empire, was not convinced, and a hunting party of about 2,000 people entered the battle of the Korakopan people in the southeast of the Fuso Tang Kingdom, which was changed to the Korakopan people of the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Shimin learned the news, he didn't say a word, so he ordered the left general Cheng Zhijie to lead the forward general Xian Yuhu under his command, a total of four Zhichong Mansions, more than 6,000 horses, and a rapid march of more than 500 miles, to enter the territory of Chechimek. Directly wiped out this tribe of more than 20,000 people. According to Aztec tradition, all prisoners of war were used to sacrifice to the gods, and women and children became spoils of war and were quickly divided.

After the Chechimaker incident, the surrounding tribes of Fuso Datang were suddenly shaken.

The forest of the world's nations has always been a natural selection, and the strong are respected. With the rise of the Tang Kingdom, there is a posture that whoever dares to disobey will be beaten. Even the Tikals, who suffered a small loss, pretended to be deaf and dumb. This made these small tribes also claim that they were also remnants of the Yin Shang dynasty and were of the same origin as the Tang people.

One of the characteristics of this kind of shallow nation is that the ruling class is called a certain ethnic group, and its people are also named a certain ethnic group, and after one or two generations, they will form a self-identity, but this self-identification is very fragile, if there is a more powerful conqueror, after ruling for a few decades, the people of the same blood will become a foreign nation. Li Shimin ignored these problems, and accepted all these nationalities who were willing to belong to them.

In less than a year, Li Shimin annexed 56 surrounding city-states in this way, bringing more than 2 million people around him under his rule.

Every night, Li Shimin will look in the northwest direction: "I, Li Shimin, will come back!" ”

……

In the east side hall of Chang'an Xiande Palace, Li Jiancheng and Zheng Guanyin bowed and stood and bowed to Wei Zheng, Chen Ying, and Fang Xuanling.

Li Jiancheng led Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Chen Ying to sit down.

The maid opened the lid of a dish on the table.

Li Jiancheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the dish and said: "Xuancheng, this is the most famous dish in Guanzhong, lamb soup." The yokan originated from the cattle and yokan of the Zhou Dynasty, and the yokan in Guanzhong was delicious. When I was a child, I loved to eat this dish, Xuancheng is from Hebei, Xuanling is from Shandong, it is such a Guanzhong delicacy, I should not have eaten it often before. Try! ”

Zheng Guanyin secretly stabbed Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng smiled awkwardly.

Fang Xuanling said with a stinky face: "Your Majesty has been dressed in fine clothes and delicacies since childhood, and the ministers really dare not compare." ”

Chen Ying looked at the two of them and hurriedly said, "The minister likes this dish the most, I can feast on it!" ”

As he spoke, Chen Ying devoured it.

Li Jiancheng smiled awkwardly, pointed to the second dish and said: "This dish, called stuffed skin, is not a precious dish of rich and noble people, but the method is peculiar, and it is rare to eat it in Kanto and Hebei." This is also the favorite food of Guanzhong people. ”

Wei Zheng stretched out his chopsticks and tasted it, frowned and said, "The garlic juice is too thick, if you put more vinegar, it's not bad." ”

Fang Xuanling didn't use chopsticks at all.

The corners of Li Jiancheng's mouth twitched, and he barely squeezed out a smile.

Zheng Guanyin tried hard to hold back a smile and carefully looked at Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling.

Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and said: "Xuan Ling, taste this wine again, Huanggui thick wine, originated from the ...... of the Zhou Dynasty."

Fang Xuanling picked up the wine and quickly interrupted Li Jiancheng's words.

Fang Xuanling said: "This wine minister has drunk it, and it is not as mellow as Qingzhou in Qizhou." ”

Li Jiancheng frowned.

Zheng Guanyin hurriedly pulled Li Jiancheng's sleeve under the desk.

Li Jiancheng forcibly suppressed his displeasure, took a deep breath, and said with a smile again: "Jiancheng is ready to worship Xuan Ling as the governor of the government, and ask Xuan Ling to assist in the construction of the project, so as to create a peaceful and prosperous era of Chang'an in the world for the Tang Dynasty." ”

Fang Xuanling said unmoved: "Your Majesty, the minister has three requests, I don't know if Your Majesty can agree?" ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Yingdao: "But there is an invitation, and there is nothing to be allowed to be completed." ”

Fang Xuanling took a sip of Huang Gui thick wine, frowned and put it down, cleared his throat, sat up straight, and said: "The first thing, the official is a national famous weapon, and it cannot be lightly conferred and indiscriminately sealed, the prime minister is the center, every move is related to the world, and it cannot be selected casually, and the appointment of officials must be ...... carefully."

Li Jiancheng smacked his lips, looking helpless.

Fang Xuanling continued: "The second thing, accept advice, if you listen to it partially, it will be dark, and if you listen to it at the same time, if you can't listen to different opinions, no matter how good the emperor is, sooner or later he will become bad; As a monarch, you should not rashly interfere with the exercise of power by your subordinates, otherwise it will be distrust of your subordinates and irresponsibility for national affairs. ”

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and began to taste the dishes one by one.

Li Jiancheng muttered in his mouth, but he couldn't find the words for a while.

Zheng Guanyin smiled and looked at Li Jiancheng, who was fascinated, and Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, who were munching on the case.

Wei Zheng beckoned to the maid on the side and said, "Bring some vinegar!" ”

Li Jiancheng said sneeringly: "I'm a little unwell, let's go first!" ”

As he spoke, Li Jiancheng threw up his sleeves and left.

Chen Ying hurriedly followed.

Walking outside the main hall, Li Jiancheng was still full of grievances, he looked at Chen Ying chasing after him, and immediately vented his nagging: "Chen Ying, you have seen it today, I am digging out my heart and lungs, a piece of sincerity, but Fang Xuanling doesn't care, pointing to the east and drawing the west, I look at this Fang Xuanling, or hate me...... I still think about Erlang's goodness! ”

Li Jiancheng sighed depressedly and said, "The grudge between me and Fang Xuanling seems to be unresolved, and he is not willing to do things for me wholeheartedly at all. ”

Chen Ying said with a relaxed face: "I think that Fang Xuanling's behavior today is reasonable, he really didn't pay attention to your appointment as the prime minister, and he didn't pay attention to you, and he was grateful, but Qizhou celebrities, really, gave you three very useful suggestions." Are these three pieces of advice important? ”

Li Jiancheng frowned and said: "These three suggestions are naturally excellent, but ...... Could it be that the position of the prime minister cannot be expressed...... Do I value and respect him? ”

Chen Ying smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, you are also familiar with the scriptures and history, you should know the advantages and disadvantages of the royal road and domineering, when Qin Shi Huang was domineering, he died young, the second Qin died, Emperor Wen of Sui was domineering, the second died, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was domineering, the disaster of witches in his later years, more than 100,000 people died in Chang'an, and the sixteen soldiers of the Han Dynasty were either killed or belittled, a total of nine people, and two of the three. ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying and said in a daze: "You also think that Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng are right?" ”

Chen Ying nodded and said: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, but he is also a person, people's energy is limited, Your Majesty must let go when it is time to let go!" ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling in the window, a little distracted.
