Chapter 764: The Unknown

Is there a historical record about the military-civilian party of the victorious army in the pre-Qin period in ancient times? After Qin unified the world, the classics everywhere were collected, and then the arson madman Xiang Yu burned all the way into Guanzhong, many of the classics have been destroyed in the war, but the private collection of the classics that were not confiscated by the Qin State is of course stored zài, so it can find a record of the victorious division and the people celebrating together.

Celebrations organized by the state are not uncommon in the land of China, so the word "rejoicing with the people" has long been coined, but there are large and small in scale, and the king only showed his face in front of the people at the beginning, and the king really enjoyed with the nobles and officials.

The people also have their own way of welcoming the hometown soldiers who have returned from the war, and they will drink together with the prestige of the three elders in the countryside, which is the so-called "village elder government".

The real development of "rejoicing with the people" and "military-civilian celebration" was until the Song Dynasty, when the army was divided into four types...... Also categories.

The first category is the Northwest Field Army, that is, the field group supported by a group of Jiangmen families headed by the Chongjia and the Ejia family, and they are the only army with field quality and tenacity in the Song Dynasty. Until the fall of this army, the Great Song Dynasty frontier was able to hold on to the territory repeatedly, but after their destruction, the enemies of the Great Song Dynasty were able to kill the capital without hindrance.

The second category is the local garrison, which is often referred to as the local garrison.

The third category is the Xiang Army, the source of the Xiang Army is a bit special, it is the outbreak of natural and man-made disasters when the government gathers refugees into an army, in fact, it cannot be called an army, it can only be regarded as a refugee group organized by the government.

The fourth category is the forbidden army, which reached 800,000 at the peak of the Song Dynasty, and was an army directly in the hands of the center. Does the word "forbidden army" sound very powerful and powerful? However, the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty was really able to fight except for the period of the founding of the country, and it did not look like an army with combat training at all, they did not have any combat literacy and were almost defeated in every battle, and there were many factors that caused this. That is, the forbidden army has always stayed in the belly of the country and rarely participated in the war, and in addition, it is also those so-called generals who only regard the forbidden soldiers as free labor or even tools.

With the suppression of Wu by the Song Dynasty, it was difficult for Jiangmen to make a difference, and the forbidden army became an army that had always been only responsible for performances. Historical records of the Song Dynasty were the most rapidly developing generation of culture, and it is common to see officially organized activities in historical materials, and the presence of the forbidden army is inevitable in every event.

The army was only responsible for guarding the territory and expanding outward, and if the army that was supposed to be on the mission of guarding and expanding had become a drama, one could figure out what a terrible thing it would be if you thought about it, so Lu Zhe repeatedly rejected Jian Yì, who had the army perform any show for the head of the Qian.

Of course, the civil and military deformities of the Song Dynasty are not uncaused. That's because of the years of war in five dynasties and ten countries. What caused the scene of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms? It was because of the Tang Dynasty's indulgence and decentralization of military generals that led to the secession of local military towns after the central government was weak, and the subsequent warlord melee lasted for 53 years (907 AD to 960 AD), in order to curb the repeated occurrence of military town separation, there was also the phenomenon of Wensheng and military weakness in the Song Dynasty. Obviously, the extreme side has led to a deformed national policy.

Lu Zhe has also been strengthening the importance of the military and even the generous treatment, but that is based on the premise of continuous transfer of officers, and it is difficult for officers to cultivate minions if they cannot stay in one place for a long time to operate, and it will be because of the needs of the times...... Or it is the need of national policy.

Whether it is the current Han Kingdom, or the upcoming empire. Under the rule of Lu Zhe, it is destined to be a country with strong expansion, and if you want to carry out continuous expansion, you must be inclined to the investment of the military, otherwise where will the army have the conditions to fight?

Maybe one day in the future, Lu Zhe will also start to suppress the military, but that will definitely not be now. Even in the near future, there is no such possibility, after all, the war outside Cyprus will be the most important thing in the next ten years, whether it can achieve domination of the Hetao region, and the domination of modern Inner Mongolia. That's all about the rise and fall of the country for a hundred years and the stability of the country.

Mastering the Hetao and the Inner Mongolia Plain is not the end. In the direction of the Hetao, it is also necessary to continue to expand to the Hexi Corridor to achieve the occupation of the Western Regions in order to achieve the goal of "strengthening the Chinese dynasty (dynasty)". Targeting the grassland occupation outside of Yanmen County, Dai County, Shanggu County, and Yuyang County. The simplest appeal is to completely eradicate the threat of the Hu people to the Chinese mainland, but Lu Zhe does not have more than such a simple appeal, others don't know what is on that vast grassland, how can a modern person not know.

In fact, whether or not the occupation of the Hetao is indeed a way to distinguish whether the Chinese dynasties are strong or not, and whether or not they occupy the Western Regions is one of the conditions to distinguish whether the dynasty is really strong. In Chinese history, dynasties that occupied both the Hetao and the Western Regions have always been considered powerful dynasties.

In the vast grasslands of northern Xinjiang, not to mention the top 10 mineral resources of the Outer Mongolia grasslands in the 21st century, even the Inner Mongolia region is rich in mineral resources, and many of them even do not need to be mined in the open pit. For Lu Zhe, there is nothing more attractive than mineral resources, after all, no one in his time knows better than Lu Zhe whether mineral resources are sufficient. In addition, even if there are not many mineral resources, the development of animal husbandry has an important auxiliary role in the shortcomings of the Chinese mainland, and no matter how difficult it is to achieve the goal of permanent occupation, it can prevent foreign races from inhabiting, so that those nomadic peoples who continue to grow and develop will become long-term enemies.

The large-scale military-civilian party continued, and Lu Zhe was gathering with Zhao Wan and other concubines and children.

In that process, King Zhao led a group of concubines and ladies to unfold the most quaint etiquette and customs, and thanked Lu Zhe for his hard work in a singing-like tone.

While Zhao Wan was singing, the rest of the concubines and wives also had their own lives. Some of them wiped the armor on Lu Zhe's body with a wipe, some took off the boots of Lu Zhe's feet with a basin filled with water, washed his feet, and so on.

Waiting for some ceremonies that seemed to be cleaning but were actually going through the motions, all the concubines, including Zhao Wan, lined up in a row, and knelt down side by side after a squatting salute, first supporting their front torks with their hands, kneeling on the ground and their buttocks raised high, and then bowing together in a kneeling position but with their bodies upright. Holding his lower abdomen with both hands, he said respectfully: "You have worked hard!" He saluted and said in unison, "You're back." ”

Obviously, this move of theirs had been rehearsed more than once, and not only did they know what to do, but some of the maids next to them were also very cooperative.

In fact, similar rituals are also popular among the people, especially some families with samurai are more proficient in this set. This kind of etiquette began in the Shang Dynasty and continued until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and continued in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty after the end of the ancient pre-Qin era. After Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty and began to revive traditional Chinese culture, and similar customs began to prevail again, and then the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties also had similar customs. However, since the Sui Dynasty and subsequent dynasties, similar customs only appeared in the Jiangmen family.

Lu Zhe remembered that in modern times, similar customs had disappeared in the land of China, and only on the Korean Peninsula and island countries did this custom not disappear. Of course, wives on the Korean Peninsula and island countries did not use this etiquette to serve their husbands returning from expeditions, but had evolved into a very simple part of "female virtue".

The woman who is the king. They came to do this set of etiquette, which was actually full of "show" elements, which was nothing more than a statement to the officials who watched the ceremony that they adhered to women's morals and knew the danger and hardship of their husbands' battles. In general, it is actually the same as the meaning of a king stepping into the field at a particular time. Play a leading role and role model.

Since it is a "show", it is natural to do a full set, and the next step should be Lu Zhe's "performance" to thank his wife(s) for their hard work in handling housework when he is away, and also thank his wife (them) for taking care of their offspring when he is away.

Oh, Lu Zhe didn't have a high hall in this era. Otherwise, when thanking him, he must add his wife's due diligence in serving the high hall.

In the pre-Qin period of antiquity, because of the frequent wars, the social system has always been in a state of preparedness. Then a kind of social environment will be formed in which serving the military is the primary priority, and in a society, everyone has their own division of labor, and what kind of work they will perform after becoming a person. In that part of the competition, the Qin state, which had its greatest potential, became the ultimate winner.

The times are changing, because the era is not far from the ancient pre-Qin, many customs have been completely preserved, not only Lu Zhe and his wife (they) will have such a ceremony, but also the officials and soldiers who return from the expedition will have the same ceremony when they return home, the difference is just that Lu Zhe and they need to do it in public.

After the ceremony, Lu Zhe explained some necessary things to the school gate that stayed behind, and did not do anything fanfare, but just returned to the palace with the necessary guards.

When I entered the city, I saw only a few people on the streets of the city. However, this is also reasonable, not to mention that there are two or three hundred thousand Qianshou outside the city to participate in the party, and it can be explained that there are fewer people in the city.

Because he didn't want to attract attention, the conspicuous royal flag was not played, and even the choice of carriage was simple.

The axles on the Han side have long been popularized, but rubber tires are not so easy to get out, and the wooden wheels will have a strange "crunch" sound when they stick to the concrete floor.

The sound of "crunching" was muffled by the sound of horses' hooves, and the music and cheers outside the city were occasionally heard, and when there was no sound at the party, the sound of wheels and horses' hooves in the silent Nanling City was transmitted very far.

Lu Zhe, who was on top of the chariot, had been watching the city, because of his appearance, so that some engineering equipment and techniques that had only been developed in modern times appeared in advance, and the city he saw was full of buildings with more than three floors, and the layout was actually very modern.

Nanling's planning emphasizes "rules", and the rules are used in the planning of buildings to have an explanation, that is, standardized and straight, so walking on the main avenue Lu Zhe at a glance, what he saw was actually a straight avenue that seemed to extend to the end of the earth, and on both sides of the avenue were straight rows of three-story buildings with shop fronts.

"Is the market closed today?"

"This ......"

The direction they entered the city was to the north, which was the concentration of the Nanlingcheng market. As a market area with a population of hundreds of thousands, it has been a busy scene since the sun has not yet risen, but now it seems to be the afternoon, except for a few shops that are still open, most of the shops are closed, and there are not many people in sight.

"Back to the king, I should go out of the city for entertainment."

"Oh."

The 100,000 forbidden troops were the first batch of troops to return on a large scale after the Northern Expedition, which has symbolic significance, and there are naturally many people who go to watch. People also have the heart to see the excitement, many people go to see the excitement, even if the business is sluggish, the boss or guy in the store pù will naturally go to join in the excitement.

Asking if the market is closed, Lu Zhe can only ask, and in some ways it also shows that he does not understand the importance of the Chengbei Market to the city. There is no saying that the market in a city is closed, and the government will not allow the market to be closed, and it is only a small problem that the market cannot be taxed, imagine how hundreds of thousands of people in a city will live when the market is not operating.

Coming to the square in front of Miyagi, the convoy stopped for a while, and only one knight rode to the city walls of Miyagi with a token in hand, and he found a guard post to carry out some necessary formalities.

Lu Zhe took this opportunity to look at the square, and he found that there were some huge cloths on the square covered with something erected, and before he could ask, the gate of the palace city over there was already slowly opening.

"Forget it, there is time to figure it out......" Lu Zhe, who suppressed his thoughts, also really felt mental exhaustion as he got closer and closer to Miyagi.

As soon as Pu entered the palace, Zhao Wan, who seemed to have been patient for a long time, immediately ran out of patience, and she took the opportunity of the carriage to temporarily pause and got off the ground, and trotted straight towards the carriage and horse where Lu Yi was.

Many people saw Zhao Wan's actions, and Wei Wen seemed to have tried a lot of effort to suppress the urge to jump out of the carriage and run to Lu Qi? The rest of the concubines and ladies looked at each other with a kind smile.

Lu Zhe naturally saw that scene in his eyes.

In fact, when Lu Zhe proposed to take the child on the expedition, Zhao Wan refused, but the king's will could not be questioned, and in the end, Zhao Wan had to accept the reality.

Now, although he knows that it is very bad, Lu Zhe will not stop it, people's family affection is a very great sentiment, and it is also a mother's nature to miss and care for her children.

"Sue Sù Weiwen, she can be in the same car with Qi'er." Lu Zhe whispered to Yan Bi beside the car.

Naturally, someone will go to relay it, and after a while, I saw Wei Wen get out of the carriage, and if you pay attention, you can find that she is already crying. (To be continued......)
