Chapter 1261: Roots and Bloodlines
Wei Li'an also looked weird: "I can't say it, you can go and take a look." ”
"They claim that we are descendants of the same ancestor, that they are descendants of soldiers left behind by our ancestors when they went to the West hundreds of years ago. ”
"They're still holding ...... Genealogy, I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Hu Yang looked at Li Rulin in astonishment, and Li Rulin was even more surprised.
He's been here for a long time, and he's never heard of it.
The two hurriedly went out, and just as they were about to rush over to take a look, they saw a group of ragged people walking towards this side, and they were almost there.
The captain of a local guard ran over to look at Hu Yang and reported, "Sir, they are a nearby tribe and are coming to you. They are your people. ”
Hu Yang was shocked to see that there were almost twenty young people coming over, surrounded by a person about fifty or sixty years old.
He glanced at the past, although these people looked to be locals, but there was no doubt that the lines of their faces were a little bit of a Chinese person.
Li Rulin was also surprised, and couldn't help but glance at each other with Hu Yang.
The old man said something strange, but Hu Yang couldn't understand it, and Li Rulin couldn't understand it.
But the point is, the locals here don't understand it either......
When a few people were talking with chickens and ducks, and when they were gesturing with their fingers, Su Qinghan brought the frightened Zhou Yan over to eat, and when he saw these people babbling, he suddenly ran over and talked to them.
Hu Yang was full of doubts, when did Su Qinghan come to such a strange language?
After a while, Su Qinghan came over in surprise and said quietly: "They speak an ancient dialect in our country, when I was in school, there was an old professor from the same village, who specialized in ancient dialects, and I learned from him for a while. ”
"Although I am not proficient, but if you listen carefully, there is an accent in the north of Lin Cheng. ”
"Their ancestors are most likely people from the northern area of Lincheng, near Jiangcheng. ”
Hu Yang was really shocked: "Jiangcheng is inland, how did they get here?"
Su Qinghan hurriedly said: "When I went to the Western Ocean hundreds of years ago, Jiangcheng was an important inland shipbuilding terminal, and they are estimated to be the descendants of the shipwrights who were transferred?"
"But they have a genealogy with them, but they say you have to see the real hometown to be willing, but I'm a woman, and they don't recognize me. ”
Hu Yang looked at Li Rulin, and Li Rulin nodded lightly at him: "You come." ”
Faced with this kind of thing, Hu Yang was very curious and walked over.
Su Qinghan introduced in the past, and said that Populus euphratica is the heir of a family in China today, and he is an absolute domestic person, and now he says that he is the eldest young master in the Lincheng area, including the Jiangcheng area.
Hearing him say this, the old man held an ancient genealogy in both hands and handed it to Populus euphratica.
Populus euphratica took it and opened the layers of animal skin packages, revealing a yellowed but well-preserved book.
Seeing this book, Hu Yang was surprised, this is definitely the genealogical style of a certain family in China!
But as soon as he opened it, Hu Yang was a little dumbfounded, there were more than thirty ancestors at the beginning of the family tree, and at least more than ten surnames!
The leader is a man named Li Linshan.
Hu Yang hurriedly beckoned them to sit down in the shed, and when he saw that they were all tired and hungry, he hurriedly asked someone to bring them food.
The old man cried at the sight of this exquisite meal, but the young man he brought with him could only gobble it up.
Hu Yang sat down and hurriedly looked through the family tree.
The genealogy seems to be written by a person with low culture, the font is crooked, but the record is very clear, a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, the large army fleet arrived, the fleet was damaged, leaving more than 100 sick sailors, and finally only more than 30 sailors left, forming a small tribe in the local area, after hundreds of years of development, it is already a tribe with more than a few thousand people!
But it's poor, it's poor!
A few days ago, a merchant came to their village to sell something, and when they saw that the thing they were selling had the same text as their genealogy, they immediately inquired.
Now it is not a secret that the countrymen are here, and the merchant did not hide it, so he told them.
The merchant was also enthusiastic, and personally led them around hundreds of kilometers to get here.
When Hu Yang saw this businessman, he sighed very much, this is one of the few people who came here to sell jackfruit a few days ago.
The goods were given to them on credit by Populus euphratica.
This is also a good retribution, without poplar to pay the small merchant on credit, he would not have gone to the jungle, he would not have met these people, they would not have found here.
"What should I do?" Li Rulin looked at Hu Yang in surprise.
Hu Yang didn't expect that there would be such a group of Chinese descendants here.
He didn't know how to deal with it, after all, they were descendants of the Chinese people hundreds of years ago, and they had no intersection with Populus euphratica.
Especially since they have been intermarrying locally for a long time, they should be regarded as locals.
Seeing that Hu Yang was embarrassed, Su Qinghan walked over: "Aren't there more than 1,000 people in total?" Ask them what they think, if there is a blood relationship in the local area, they are also locals, which is also a good thing for us, and it can also help them. ”
Hu Yang looked at Li Rulin, Li Rulin was a pure businessman, and he was immediately moved.
They are looking for a suitable spokesperson in the local area, isn't this a spokesperson sent from heaven?
has Chinese ancestry, and always identifies with Chinese people, or locals.
They stand up, and the locals will believe it.
As for whether they will be obedient or not?
Li Rulin sneered indifferently in his heart, it is impossible to be disobedient!
Hu Yang immediately said: "Welcome home." ”
"However, you are now a local citizen, and you have been hundreds of years, and I am afraid that it is impossible to return to China. ”
"Pearl Port is under construction now, why don't you come here?"
The old man named Li Sihan took out a piece of paper tremblingly and looked at Hu Yang expectantly.
Hu Yang was a little strange, took this paperwork, well, I couldn't read it......
Su Qinghan couldn't understand it either, but there were many Chinese people here, especially those doctors, who quickly found someone who understood a certain language, and was immediately surprised.
"This is the title deed! the title deed that was demarcated by the government here, their title deed...... Right at our feet. Sixty kilometers from north to south, sixty kilometers from east to west. ”
Hu Yang looked at the man in amazement: "Are you sure?
"Yes! This was issued by the local government decades ago before the war here. The man affirmed.
Li Sihan looked at Populus Hu and said seriously: "Are we looking to expand our territory?"
He hurriedly asked Li Sihan what he meant, and from noon to dark, Li Sihan ate something and told them about Hu Yang for an afternoon.
As he spoke, although his accent became very vague, Hu Yang began to be able to understand it slowly.
This made the poplars respect them more and more.
After hundreds of years away from the country, they have maintained their own language and script, and it is because of the language and writing and the farming techniques left by their ancestors that they have always been the wealthiest tribe here.
So, they got the land in the first place.
But their affluence also attracted the covetousness of the warlords who had been chaotic at the beginning.
As a result, they were driven by the warlords and fled into the jungle, and the original manpower of more than 2,000 people was now less than 1,500 people, and more than 500 died.
But he was even more moved in his heart, until now, they have always adhered to the ancestral teachings and are always waiting to return to the motherland.
This is the root and blood of the Chinese people!
