Section 0971 Totem
In the minds of the six edicts, it is just a story about the seven captures and seven verticals.
The truth is just that the evil Zhuge Liang deceived the Nanban leader into several head-on duels, making the Nanban leader give up his geographical advantage. In the frontal battle, a large amount of vital strength was consumed, so that Nanban could not fight any longer.
This would say Willow, and after reading the letter, Willow handed it directly to Woodwally.
Woodwally was surprised, he knew it was a letter from the Roman Emperor, and he didn't know if he was qualified to read it.
Surprised and confused, Woodwally finished reading the letter.
Yanagi asked, "What do you think?" ”
Woodwally didn't answer immediately, but took out an oak sign and handed it to Willow with both hands.
Woodwally was about to explain this thing, but Yanagi blurted out: "Druid? No, there is a dragon totem behind this, isn't the druid a stag and an oak tree? ”
"This is for the two masters of Xuankong and Qingling, both masters said that the dragon totem represents the Tang Dynasty, and they can't use it, but my clansmen respect the masters very much, so I want to ask His Royal Highness the Duke to have an idea."
"So, is this a druid?"
"Yes."
The word druid means someone who is familiar with the oak tree, and in Woodwardly's hometown druid represents arbiter, doctor, prophet, teacher, etc.
The former Buddhists of the Tang Dynasty convinced Woodwally's people in farming, medical care, literacy, culture, and arbitration. The children of the Daomen are very good in medicine, astronomy, weather prediction, that is, prophets or prophets, as well as elixirs, simple chemistry, papermaking, etc.
This is entirely in line with the locals' honorific title for druids.
A druid is a person who has the same status as a tribal chief, or chief, and every druid naturally becomes one of the elders of the clan, regardless of age, talent determines status.
After Woodwarly finished explaining, Liu Mu stood up: "Follow me." ”
Liu Mu took Woodwarly to find the Emperor Li Yuan.
"Father, the Qingling of the Daomen and the Xuankong of the Buddha Gate have been recognized by the people of General Wood's hometown, and they have become the elders of the tribes in Wood's hometown and become druids. However, to distinguish them from the original druids, their oak cards used dragon totems. ”
The dragon pattern represents the emperor.
After Li Yuan looked at it carefully, he got up and walked around the room twice, then took out a pen and paper and quickly drew a dragon on the paper, a dragon with wings.
"The three ancient dragons, the emperor's dragon should be the ancestral dragon, my father read some books when he was young, and the first emperor is the incarnation of the ancestral dragon. Therefore, the outstanding Tang people who are outside can use the Ying Long totem. ”
After hearing this, Liu Mu's first reaction was, is this the origin of the winged dragon in the West?
After confirming the matter of the druid totem, the letter of the Roman Emperor of Liumu was shown to Li Yuan, and at the same time asked Woodwarly: "I understand your attitude, you also believe in nature, and the life or death of that person has nothing to do with you?" ”
"It's still a little bit related, his disciples are spreading, and the south of the Blazes believes it, and it's also spreading north. I'd like to be able to lead the army, and I don't like people who are black and white. They are cruel to infidels and very good at swindling money. ”
"Okay." Yanagi only said yes.
Li Yuan closed the letter at this time: "What reason is needed, what tricks are needed." Find an excuse to destroy it directly, and if you don't accept it, you just need to fight. My Datang believes in heaven and earth, on behalf of the herdsmen of the sky, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the son of heaven, and the sky has given us wind, rain and snow. The earth gave land, grain, cattle and sheep. ”
"In the chaos, the ancestral dragon was born, and the ancestral dragon turned into an emperor to rule the world. Chaos is divided into heaven and earth, chaos is heaven and earth, and chaos is the gods. That's what I mean, you know? ”
Liu Mu bowed slightly: "Father, the son understands." After the battle, Erchen proposed that Generals Wood and Khmelitz be in charge of the clearance. As for the city to help Rome get, General Wood attacked by sea, and General Khmelitz attacked by land. ”
"Good." Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
As the emperor, Li Yuan's words about heaven and earth may be true, but Li Yuan is very afraid of the kind that can oppose the imperial power and deceive people.
For example, in the previous Buddhism, a prince of Tianzhu was praised as an omnipotent god, which was the root of Li Yuan's acquiescence to the destruction of the Buddha by willow wood.
"The sons asked for the credit of General Wood, who came back this time not only with 5,000 elites, but also with 2,000 good horses. In the battle against the kingdom of Saracen, General Wood took the lead, and his retainers thought that he should be rewarded. ”
Liu Mu's proposal Li Yuan didn't understand, Datang has military regulations, and everything is decided. But why add a special reward to Woodwally.
At this moment, Woodwally stepped forward to excuse himself, and he would not ask for an additional reward.
Liu Mu took the lead and said: "Erchen thinks that the five-way army. Give General Wood the opportunity to spearhead all the way, and this opportunity is a reward. ”
"Accurate!"
Just to give a chance to be a pioneer, Li Yuan has nothing not to agree to.
Woodwardly couldn't find a reason to say no, and he loved the bounty.
After thanking him, Woodwally retired to reorganize his troops and refurbish his ordnance in preparation for the battle that was to come.
Li Yuan asked Liu Mu at this time: "Why did you suddenly add a reward?" ”
"Father, he has great merit, but this merit can't be known to the world."
"Oh?" Li Yuan was curious.
"Spread Han culture and integrate Han culture into the Celtic system," Yanagi said. Does my father think this credit is small? ”
"Not small!"
Liu Mu said again: "But Erchen can't let the world know this credit, cultural invasion is more terrible than sword invasion, even if Erchen will not start a war with Rome, but Erchen will also trap their so-called lord to death in the Mediterranean, since Wood is willing to lead troops to destroy the Pope, why don't Erchen agree, what does the father think?" ”
Li Yuan nodded very seriously: "Okay, it's good." The father knew that you came here to get the father to support the dragon totem. ”
"Yes, father, think about the people who spread our Han civilization overseas, with the dragon as the totem protection. Everyone will be concerned about the Central Plains and the Tang Dynasty, at least they will not forget the Chinese they have learned. ”
Liu Mu's words made Li Yuan think deeply.
For a short period of time, Li Yuan did not understand the practical significance of spreading Han civilization to the Tang Empire.
may make many barbarians closer to the Tang Dynasty.
It seems to be!
Li Yuan thought that he had thought of Liu Mu's plan and felt good.
Li Yuan motioned for Liu Mu to come closer to him and then asked Liu Mu, "Those younger brothers, what do you think?" ”
