Chapter 1149: Chuan Yu's Divergence [Plus 23/27]
In fact, before King Su Zhao Hongrun arrived in Sanchuan City, there was already a lot of noise within the "Sichuan Alliance". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the final analysis, it was because the "Wuxu Tribe" channeled through the "Karma Tribe" and the "Antelope Tribe", secretly colluded with the Qin State, and raised troops to resist the Wei State.
Yes, strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as a 'rebellion', after all, whether it is the Wusu tribe, the two major tribes of Qian and Ling, they have not joined the Sichuan Alliance and have become affiliated allies of the Wei State.
However, one thing must be admitted, the three major tribes of Wuxu, Ling, and Liang colluded with the Qin State to make the Qin army set foot in Sanchuan again, which has violated the regulations of the "Luoshui Alliance".
The regulations of the "Chuan Shui Alliance" stipulate that the three rivers belong to the Wei people and the Sichuan people, but when a third party tries to occupy this land, the Sichuan Alliance must send troops to resist, and if the strength is insufficient, it can ask for help from the alliance leader, that is, the Wei state. In addition, tribes that violate the regulations and endanger the interests of Sanchuan and Wei should be expelled from Sanchuan.
To put it simply, according to the oath of the "Shui Alliance", the Sichuan-Yu Alliance should expel several tribes that violated the regulations, such as "Wuxu", "Qian", and "Ling", and unite with Wei to drive Qin's army out of Sanchuan.
And in this matter, there is a problem - the "Wusu tribe", it is not an ordinary tribe in the general sense, it is the royal court of all the tribes in Sanchuan, and it is the royal leader of the Qiang people, the Qiang people, and the Shan people, which is equivalent to the royal family of the Central Plains country.
Therefore, being an enemy of the Usu royal court is a thing that many tribes in Sanchuan resist from their hearts, after all, the Usu royal court has ruled these Ughu, Karma, and Tsui for a long time, that is, the Ugsu royal court is now getting weaker and weaker, but many tribes still worship the Ugsu tribe as their leader.
Otherwise, how could the Wuxu tribe, whose strength was far inferior to the three major Karma tribes of the Qiang, Antelope, and Qiang, get the natural pasture with flourishing pastures of the "Lu Clan"?
But now, the Wuxu royal court has openly stood up against the Wei state, which has put the Sichuan Alliance in a dilemma.
At the beginning of September, the Sichuan Alliance urgently convened an internal discussion meeting.
The so-called internal discussion meeting is nothing more than a meeting at the patriarchal level of several large tribes that control the entire Sichuan Alliance, such as the patriarch of the Qingyang tribe Amutu, the patriarch of the Aries tribe Halegohe, the patriarch of the Gray Sheep tribe Qi Muke, the patriarch of the Meng tribe Meng Liang, the patriarch of the Lun tribe Lu Balong, and the patriarch of the tribe Erdemo who joined the Sichuan Alliance after the last "Wei-Qin Sanchuan Campaign".
"What's negotiable about that? According to the "Alliance of Rivers", wasn't it all a bloody alliance at the beginning? ”
At the conference table, Lu Balong, the patriarch of the Lun clan who was dressed more and more like the Wei people, held his big-bellied belly and said slowly.
I have to say that due to the fact that the Lun tribe has become richer and richer over the years, Lu Baron, the once heroic warrior of the Lun tribe, has inevitably degenerated, and his previously strong muscles have gradually been replaced by fat, but this has not affected his prestige in the Lun tribe at all.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Lun tribe is one of the tribes with the most rapid "Wei peopleization", in addition to retaining the culture of the Lun people, the rest of the living habits, words and deeds are closer to the Wei people.
Because of this, or some people who target Lu Balon privately slander: the Lun clan has been reduced to the lackeys of the Wei people, and the Lun tribe of the Yi clan has long ceased to exist.
And Lubaron only scoffed at this, believing that it was some kind of people who were jealous of him chewing on the root of their tongue behind their backs.
The former Lun tribe was just a middle-class tribe that was more than enough than the top, and when winter came every year, they trembled and trembled, for fear that a sudden snowstorm would freeze the sheep in the tribe and make the entire tribe perish.
Today, the Lun tribe is one of the few large tribes in the Sichuan Alliance, although the tribe still has only about 20,000 people, but it has hundreds of thousands of livestock, and more importantly, the Lun tribe is also one of the largest slave traders in the Sichuan Alliance.
Therefore, Lu Baron did not regret taking refuge in His Royal Highness King Su at all.
Or to put it simply, if he had known that after taking refuge in His Royal Highness King Su, the clansmen in the tribe would live such a rich life as they are now, he would have taken refuge in his mother, so why should he be an enemy of His Royal Highness King Su, resulting in the death of thousands of heroic tribal warriors in vain.
"Patriarch Lu Baron is right, everything can be done according to the 'Covenant of Rivers'." Meng Liang, the patriarch of the Meng tribe of the Yi clan, also helped.
Compared with Lu Balon, who is seriously degenerate, Meng Liang still retains a sturdy physique, and it can be seen that this great patriarch is not out of shape because of alcohol and women like the former, but it cannot be denied that this great patriarch wearing Wei clothes, wearing a jade crown, and meticulously combing his hair, his values are not the same as back then.
Looking at Lu Balon and Meng Liang, the patriarch of the Aries tribe, Halegohe, frowned slightly.
Because he saw that in the meeting room, except for him and the patriarch of the Qingyang tribe, Amutu, who were still wearing sheepskin jackets, many other patriarchs began to follow the example of the Wei people, wearing brocade robes, jade crowns, gold and silver, and pretending to be nobles—but these people still couldn't learn how to learn.
The nobles of the Wei people don't know how to wear gold and silver at all, okay? Only the nouveau riche would dress like that!
"Sichuan people Weihua", this is a very common bad atmosphere that has been formed in Sanchuan, especially in Yucheng, in recent years.
The most direct embodiment is the architecture and clothing.
In the past, the Sichuan people have always lived in felt tents, but now looking at the entire city, there are civil engineering buildings with a strong cultural atmosphere of the Wei Kingdom.
In terms of dress, the Sichuan people also gradually abandoned the traditional sheepskin jacket and changed to wear the Wei people's cotton jacket.
The once innocent grassland girls dressed themselves with flowers on the grassland, but now, these girls have the hairpins of the Wei people, the pearls of the Chu country, and even some gold and silver cast bracelets, anklets and other jewelry.
And the mate selection criteria of these grassland girls are no longer as strong warriors as they once were, but to see whether the man has the ability to buy ornaments from Wei and Chu for her.
What worries Halegoh the most is that the language of the Qiang people is becoming less and less spoken in the city, and more and more Sichuan people are understanding the Wei dialect and using it to trade with merchants from the Wei state.
That's not right!
The patriarch of the Aries tribe, Halgohe, realized that their Qiang culture was rapidly dying out and being assimilated by the Wei.
It may be that a few years later, there are no more people of the Qiang people, the Qiang people, and the Qiang people in Sanchuan, only a group of people who have the blood of the grassland people, but their dress, words and deeds are exactly the same as the Wei people.
But there was nothing Halegoh could do about this, because the Wei State did not use intrigue and trickery to calculate them at all, they only lured the Sichuan people to move closer to the Wei people step by step through a better life.
Will the people of Sichuan reject a better, richer life?
No!
Therefore, it is inevitable to be assimilated by the Wei people.
In the words of the Wei people, this is called Yangmou.
Looking at the big patriarchs in the circle of the conference hall, Halegoh was a little discouraged, because he saw that many of the patriarchs in the conference hall were following the example of the Wei people, wearing brocade robes, jade crowns, gold and silver, and pretending to be nobles - but these people still didn't learn how to learn.
The nobles of the Wei people don't know how to wear gold and silver to show their wealth at all, right? Only the nouveau riche would dress like that!
If he didn't know each other, he doubted that he was sitting with a group of Wei people.
However, the patriarch of the Qingyang tribe, Amutu, still wears a traditional sheepskin jacket.
However, this does not mean that the Qingyang tribe has the same attitude as him, everyone knows that Una, the youngest daughter of the Qingyang tribe's patriarch Amutu, married into the Wei State and became the woman of His Royal Highness King Su.
With this relationship, I believe that the Qingyang tribe will never stand on the side of the Wuxu Royal Court - even if the Qingyang tribe is a tribal tribe.
Sure enough, Amutu, the patriarch of the Qingyang tribe, smiled and said a few words of innocuous nonsense, without any expression.
Suddenly, the patriarch of the Yi tribe, Erdmer, asked with a smile, "So, what does the Grand Patriarch of Halegoh mean?" ”
"What?" Halegoch was stunned when he heard this.
Seeing this, Erdemer pointed to the group of patriarchs present and asked, "I want to ask, what do you mean by gathering all the patriarchs to discuss a completely unnecessary issue?" …… Could it be that the great patriarch wants to support the royal court? Ha, I just asked. ”
Hearing this, Lu Baron, Meng Liang and other great patriarchs looked at Halegoh intentionally or unintentionally.
After all, hundreds of years ago, the Shan people were still oppressed slaves under the rule of the Wu people, although the Qing people later rebelled and were recognized, and also accepted the rule of the Wu Xu Royal Court, but this does not mean that the Qing people have eliminated the mustard in their hearts.
It can only be said that the Shan people have no culture of their own, and can only passively accept the cultural indoctrination of the Shan people, which makes this race lack of heritage, so even after standing on its own, it can only recognize the rule of the Wusu royal court - who let them speak the language of the Zong people and learn the culture of the Shan people?
Facing all kinds of distrustful eyes, the great patriarch of the Qingyang tribe, Halgohe, stiffened his head and said, "I just hope that this time my Sichuan Alliance can restrain each other and remain neutral...... As for the royal court, try to convince them as much as you can. Perhaps, in the past, we did lack respect for the royal court...... I think that if the Wei State can give the Wuxu Royal Court preferential treatment, follow the title of "Wuxu King" granted by the Wei State decades ago, and recognize the royal court's rule over Sanchuan, even if it is nominal rule, I believe that the royal court will immediately give up being an enemy of the Wei State......"
"Hah!" Before Halgoh could finish speaking, Lubaron interrupted with a sneer: "Respect for the royal court? Does it mean that for hundreds of years, the tribes offered tribute every year to support the royal court? ”
Saying this, anger flashed in the eyes of the patriarchs of the Qiang tribe, after all, when the royal court was at its strongest, it was when they were most oppressed by the Shan tribe.
"Times are different, Halegoh, Sanchuan doesn't need two kings." Squinting his eyes, Lu Baron said coldly.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are also Sichuan people, but if there is a better choice, the Qiang people will not hesitate to abandon the royal court of the Shan people, which is why they do not resist being assimilated by the Wei State.
"Is that the answer of your people?" Halegoh was a little angry.
"Keep the words in your heart and speak to the 'one'!" As he spoke, Lu Balon and Meng Liang and the other tribal chiefs of the Qi tribe glanced at each other, and they all got up and left.
Looking at these departing patriarchs, Halegoh's heart sank.
Of course, he knew who the "that" in Lu Balon's mouth was referring to, it was a Wei man who held a money bag in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and forcibly made the tribes of Sanchuan submit - Ji Run, the prince of Wei.
In Sanchuan, this name is even louder than "Karasu Royal Garden".
