Chapter 350
On the battlefield, the dust was flying, the blood was flowing like a river, Datang and Miao Jiang had been fighting from morning to night, even Xingzhe, who was just waving the flag and commanding, was already tired and dizzy, and the soldiers were still alive and vigorous one by one, fighting bravely on the battlefield.
Unconsciously, those soldiers became more tall and majestic in Xingzhe's heart.
Although they have all kinds of problems, they are unavoidable. No one is perfect, let alone thousands of soldiers.
Miao Jiang's three major protectors all took turns to appear, although each of them had excellent abilities, but the army of the Tang Dynasty was too strong, and all Miao Jiang could do was to delay the time of destruction, and the result could never be changed.
Finally, amid the cheers of the Tang soldiers, the monarch of Miao Jiang surrendered.
The monarch surrendered in person, and there was no fraudulent surrender, because the monarch would be taken hostage, put under house arrest by the Tang Dynasty, and brought back to the Tang Dynasty to negotiate with the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
After the officials of the Tang Dynasty take over Miao Jiang, even if Miao Jiang wants to make a comeback, the chances are very small, and it is basically impossible to do it.
The monarch of Miao Jiang is more than ten years older than Xingzhe, and he looks not young, but his hair is not a little white, and it seems that he should usually eat and drink well, and he is very well maintained.
is just such a man, but he has the air of an emperor on his body. Maybe this is a compulsory course for being an emperor, so that others can see at a glance who is the emperor and who is the most honorable person.
After accepting the surrender of the monarch of Miaojiang, Xingzhe sent people to put the monarch of Miaojiang under house arrest, and he stepped into the land of Miaojiang to observe the specific situation of Miaojiang now.
Sometimes, the eyes see far more accurately than the ears hear.
In order to be able to understand more realistically, Xingzhe stayed in Miaojiang for a whole day, and at the same time asked the Tang soldiers who had just gone through the war to prepare.
All day in Miao Jiang, Xingzhe pretended to be just an ordinary person, and he didn't let anyone follow him, although he didn't know if anyone followed him.
Xingzhe has been integrated into the life of the people of Miaojiang all day long, Xingzhe and the people of Miaojiang eat together, go shopping together, listen to songs together, and dance together.
is the same as Xingzhe's original world, even in this world, the people of Miaojiang are still good at singing and dancing.
Miao Jiang's "flying song" is high-pitched and loud, very infectious, and the dances include reed sheng dance, bench dance, copper drumming, etc., with the reed sheng dance being the most common.
The Lusheng Dance is danced on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the 3rd day of March, the Chung Yeung Festival and other festivals, as well as on the days of building houses, harvests, and welcoming relatives. The folk mass reed sheng dance is generally led by two to five men playing the reed sheng, and the others dance in a circle, the scene is spectacular and the atmosphere is warm.
The competitive reed sheng dance is generally performed by a small number of men and women with high skills at festivals or gatherings, usually two to four people, and the movements include squatting, bending, even supine, handstand and other difficult movements, which are very popular with the masses.
Miaojiang's food customs have their own characteristics. In Miaojiang, the staple food in southeastern Guizhou, western Xiangxi, Hainan Island, and Guangxi Rongshui is rice, but there are also miscellaneous grains such as corn, sweet potatoes, and millet; in Miaojiang in northwestern Guizhou, southern Sichuan, and northeastern Yunnan, corn, potatoes, buckwheat, and oats are the staple foods.
There are many types of non-staple foods, such as meat, domestic animals, poultry and fish, and vegetables such as beans, vegetables, and melons. Sour and spicy are indispensable things in Miaojiang's life.
In the past, due to the lack of salt in the mountainous areas, many people in Miaojiang had a light diet all year round, and could only use hot and sour seasoning, which formed a habit over time.
Miao Jiang people especially like to eat sour, almost every household has homemade sour soup, sauerkraut, sour and spicy, pickled fish, Miao family's sour soup fish tender soup fresh, fragrant and delicious, famous. Miao Jiang likes to drink.
Usually after work, drink a little wine, relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, eliminate fatigue; relatives and friends come to visit, celebrate the New Year's holidays, red and white ceremonies, must treat guests with wine, over time formed a set of traditional customs and etiquette of drinking, many places in Miaojiang feast and toast, there is also the custom of singing drinking songs.
Miaojiang in the border areas of Hunan, Guizhou and Guizhou is also popular to drink oil tea, it is not only a must-have diet for the Miao family to entertain guests, but also a special drink before and after meals, and some places even eat with oil tea. Xiangxi, northeastern Guizhou and southern Chongqing use fried rice tea as a high-end beverage to drink and entertain relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year.
The people of Miao Xinjiang also have many taboos in their lives, which may cause very big consequences if they are accidentally violated.
In some Miaojiang areas, it is forbidden to wash the retorts, rice bags, and rice bowls at any time, and can only wash them when eating new rice, so as to show that the old rice is removed and the new rice is welcomed. Washing at any time will wash away the family's wealth, and there is not enough food to eat. Drinking raw water on the mountain should not be drunk directly, and grass marks must be marked first to show that the sick ghost is killed. Do not touch clothes placed by others on the side of the road to avoid spreading leprosy. Do not let children play with small bows and arrows at home, for fear of hitting their ancestors. Do not straddle the top of the child's head, otherwise the child will not grow tall. It is forbidden for women to sit on a bench with their elders. The taboos of Miaojiang vary according to different branches.
These are all questions that Xingzhe himself asked from the mouths of the people of Miaojiang, who are very simple and kind, and hospitable.
Even if Xingzhe captured the main city of Miaojiang, the people of Miaojiang would not vent their dissatisfaction on the people of the Tang Dynasty. Xingzhe listened to the people of Miaojiang say a lot of complaints about Datang, but they didn't say anything to Xingzhe, but still greeted each other with a smile.
Of course, Xingzhe also met a few people who didn't care about 3721 and knew that Xingzhe was a big Tang hundred, but they were only a very few people.
And Xingzhe can also fully understand the thoughts of those who want to slap him with a big mouth, his country is about to become a vassal country of others, and he will not feel good if he is a patriotic person.
Miaojiang's economic development is faster than that of Datang, probably because of the small size of the country, so the overall economic level of Miaojiang is very high, which makes Xingzhe unconsciously admire.
On the streets of the main city of Miaojiang, Xingzhe did not see a single beggar, nor did he see a single ragged civilian. Even the farmers who farmed the land prepared two sets of clothes, one to wear when they were working, and the other to wear when they were working.
And their clothes are made of good materials, just by looking at the color in the sun, you know that the price must not be too cheap, or should it be said that it is expensive.
The houses and yards of each family are very beautifully decorated, and each house is equivalent to a scenic spot, which is very beautiful and very different.
Xingzhe basically stops for a moment in front of the courtyard where every house passes, just to take a look at the scenery inside the courtyard.
