Shen Qihuan is not stupid, nor is she simple, the integrity and principles she adheres to are like a clear bottom line, not only can she see it, but also those who are familiar with her and even her enemies are also very clear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Qi Linyu knows that if she doesn't say anything, she will tell her everything, although she is a scheming woman, she is not unwise. If concealing it would put her in danger, he would rather let her see the whole truth.

Qi Linyu stretched out his hand and touched her face, Shen Qihuan looked at her with some doubts, his aura at this time was strange to Shen Qihuan, but it was very warm.

"There's a lot of things I'm going to say, and it's a long time ago, and you can ask me what I don't understand, or I'll tell you from beginning to end."

Shen Qihuan immediately stated: "From beginning to end." "She doesn't like ambiguity.

"Then ......" Qi Linyu moved her body and found a suitable position for a long conversation and leaned against her. Let's start with the time of Mingzong. ”

Mingzong? Shen Quehuan's face almost fell, that was really long enough, according to his age, Mingzong should be the same generation as his grandfather today.

Qi Linyu's expression was flat, and he said eloquently: "Mingzong is a war-loving monarch, at that time, Dayue and Yuguo fought against each other, expanding their territory to the Central Plains in the south and north, at that time, the war was continuous, and the people were struggling to make a living, and the eastern border was a small border country isolated from the war. ”

Shen Qihuan had also heard that the eastern border was a small country with only a dozen cities but very wealthy more than a hundred years ago, and its subjects lived by farming and animal husbandry, and in winter men survived the harsh winter by hunting, and women made prey skins into clothes to protect against the cold.

But Shen Qihuan couldn't form such a scene in her mind, the people in the east she came into contact with were greedy, murderous, and despised life, and she always felt very disobedient to substituting such a group of people into the scene of national peace and security.

Qi Linyu understood his feelings, shook her hand, and said: "The change of the people's customs and the withering of the world are not all the fault of the people, it should be attributed to what kind of monarch they have." ”

The two Eastern Kings that Shen Quehuan had learned, one was Tuge and the other was Nazan, both of whom were rivals of the Yu Chi Army and even Da Yue.

"Could it be that the king of the eastern realm in the Mingzong era was a Ming monarch?" Shen Qihuan's eyes were full of disdain.

Qi Linyu smiled: "Mingjun can't talk about it, but it's much better than his son and grandson." ”

Shen Quehuan snorted, noncommittal.

Qi Linyu: "At that time, the king of the eastern realm was cowardly and unassertive, when the war of Dayue reached the door of the eastern border, the king of the eastern realm decided to surrender without a fight, and now our Biansai Quyan was the king of the eastern realm at that time, and it is said that the king of the eastern realm also promised to pay a tribute of thousands of high-quality animal skins to Dayue every year. ”

A thousand animal skins were more valuable than gold and silver treasures at that time, and Shen Qihuan began to believe that the king of the eastern realm at that time was indeed cowardly and incompetent enough, in exchange for the current king of the eastern realm, Nazan, not to mention the animal skin, he even initiated the gong because of an egg.

"Mingzong just let go of the Fourteen Cities in the Eastern Realm?" Shen Quehuan expressed his doubts, saying that there are endless mountains in the eastern capital, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure of nature, it is not only a wartime fortress, but also a transit place for scarce goods such as mountain treasures, medicinal materials, and furs.

Qi Linyu: "The terrain in the east is dangerous, whether it is our dynasty or the country, what they are good at is plain warfare, and the men in the east country are strong and strong, in the situation at that time, Dayue and even the country of Yu did not have a complete chance of winning." And ......" Qi Linyu paused, his eyes were deep, which made Shen Qihuan feel that what Qi Linyu said next was the key to the story.

Sure enough, after Qi Linyu paused, his voice became very low: "At that time, Mingzong didn't want to spend more energy and troops on fighting, because when he first entered the Eastern Territory Country to talk about the war between the two countries, one of Mingzong's guards who was proficient in calculations discovered the real treasure of the Eastern Territory, iron ore. Qi Linyu took a deep breath, "If the number of iron ores in the entire land of Dayue at that time was 'one', then the number of iron ores in the eastern country was 'ten', which made the blood of the monarch of Dayue, who had been fighting for ten years and the country was already strong and strong but still war-hungry. ”

Iron ore, the iron smelting technology at that time, was mostly used to cast weapons. And the "weapon" in the eyes of Mingzong is like a person who is about to faint from hunger sees food.

Before that, the Manchu Dynasty was eager for a truce but could not impress the emperor, but Mingzong made two decisions in a very short period of time after learning the secret of the iron mine in the east, on the one hand, he cut off the four cities and made a truce with the kingdom of Yu, and sent the only princess of Dayue to the kingdom and relatives. This is tantamount to ending the decade-long war between Da Yue and the country of Yu in the fastest and most sloppy way. On the other hand, a quarrying agreement was signed with the king of the eastern border, and the king of the eastern border allowed Dayue to transport the stones all over the mountains and fields in the eastern border back to Dayue to build a trade route, and Dayue would send beautiful women, beautiful jade, silk, gold and silver ...... to the eastern border, and the king of the eastern border did not know that the stones in the country could be "turned into" swords, guns and shields, and he thought that Mingzong really wanted to build any trade routes, but simply discussed with the ministers a few times and agreed to Mingzong's conditions.

From then on, Mingzong sent a secret army to the east to report mining and deliver gold, silver, and jewelry to the east according to the agreed conditions.

Twenty years later, only half of the iron ore in the east has been mined, and this country called the east has also undergone earth-shaking changes in the past 20 years, the mountains that depend on survival have become mines, more and more men are drunk and gold, more and more women do not want to work and enjoy their success, and the men in the east have a natural toughness in their bones, their talent in hunting is directly used in the confrontation between people, they build a martial arts field, often use their lives and women as bargaining chips to compete, and take pleasure in it.

The simple folk customs and kind subjects have evolved into a group of greedy, fierce, and despicable people.

Later, the knives in their hands were no longer satisfied with slaughtering and chopping, and they began to repeatedly invade and rob the border towns of Dayue, making the people of the border pass miserable, and Dayue also turned a blind eye to this because he coveted the mineral deposits in the east.

Speaking of this, Qi Linyu's expression was gloomy, he closed his eyes slightly, and sighed for a while: "The countries that can be adjacent to the eastern border are not only Dayue, but also the country of Yu. ”

Shen Qihuan was completely shocked, he didn't expect that the culprit who caused the change in the customs of the people in Dayue was actually Mingzong, did the first emperor force the palace to rebel back then also related to this incident? And to this day, is the disaster brought by the eastern border to Dayue called "self-reaping its own fruits"?

Shen Qihuan's heart fell deeply, as if he had suddenly walked into a narrow corridor, and the more he walked forward, the more he felt deeply depressed, and the more he lost the courage to go on.

Qi Linyu put her hand into the palm of her hand and was relieved: "This is just the beginning, no matter what the despicability of the people of the Eastern Realm is, it can't erase the harm he has done to the people of Dayue." ”

Shen Qihuan looked back at him, and the person in front of her could always find a direction for her when she was hesitating.
