The tribal elder grabbed a handful of grass seeds and pinched them in his heart. With the help of the howling cold wind, he stretched out his right arm, twisted his fingers slightly, and the grass seeds fell with the wind.

The tribesmen brought out a black bear, and behind it there was a woman in animal skin, crying, because she knew the fate of the black bear, which she had grown up nursing when she was a child, so that she could sacrifice it one day.

The elders of several tribes looked at the cliff in the direction of Yongning Temple and prayed for their "bear spirit".

"Dear Spirit Bear, you were sent into this world for us to capture."

"Holy God, we worship you; I hope you hear our prayers. ”

"We fed you, we raised you against all odds, all because we love you so much."

"Now, that 'demon' is attacking our village and killing our members. And you've grown up, and we're going to send you back to your parents. Please say good things about us and tell them that we are kind to you. Please come back to us again, and we will sacrifice you again. ”

"O holy gods, please bring our prayers to the distant Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. We are willing to donate walrus tusks, white rabbits, and mink skins in exchange for his protection......"

After praying, the woman took out the dried berries that she was reluctant to eat on weekdays and fed them to the bear. Having grown up in the tribe since childhood, the bear did not know what fate he was going to face, and affectionately stretched out his paws and licked those delicious dried berries.

Suddenly, the men of the tribe took out a rope and tied it to the bear's limbs. The black bear thought it was just a daily play, and did not resist in the slightest.

Seven or eight strong men picked up the wooden sticks that had been prepared long ago, and at the same time, the two wooden sticks squeezed into the neck of the black bear. The rest of the men clung to the rattan ropes, and the black bear struggled to breathe, staring at the woman who had nursed it with a pleading gaze.

Scold......

Scold......

The last breath was squeezed out of his chest, and the warrior selected by the tribe to fight against the "evil ghosts" of the north this time took out his bow and arrow, and aimed it at the black bear's chest.

Laugh at......

The arrow flew out, and the black bear struggled twice, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"May the blood of the gods bring us good luck. May the blood of the gods give us strength. May the blood of the gods bring us our prayers. ”

All the men fell to the ground in turn, opened their mouths, sucked the blood from the arrow wound, and smeared it on their faces.

All men must drink the blood of bears, sign that they will not betray, and fight the "evil spirits" of the north to the end.

However, one person in the crowd did not drink the blood, but looked at the river to the west in a daze, rubbing his eyes, as if he could not believe that it was not an illusion.

The cold wind blowing from the northwest rolled up the snow like a knife.

On the frozen surface of the river, a group of people walked towards this side, as if they had suddenly appeared from the summer mist.

These people rode on horses and in chariots.

There were no flags, no swords as bright as the moon, and no ships as tall as red pines.

But among those people, there were people shouting something, vaguely, as if they could hear words like "Son of Heaven", but unfortunately they didn't hear what the elders said.

These ghosts, which seemed to emerge from the mist, made the people of the tribe reverently kneel in front of the bear spirit.

Don't...... Is it really apparitional?

…………

Liu Yu asked the interpreter in the team who was invited from the previous tribe, who did not understand Chinese, but understood the dialects of each tribe. There were also some naturalized tribesmen in the team, and after the double translation, Liu Yu was finally convinced that there was Yongning Temple in front of him.

It's just that the words of the tribes in front of him made him a little crying and laughing.

Daming ...... They have been dead for more than eighty years.

From the last visit of Xuande in the seventh year of the slave to the capital division, it has been 293 years now.

Three hundred years later, once again a Han Chinese came to Nuer Gandusi.

People are not things. The Son of Heaven has changed his surname, and he doesn't know how many surnames he has.

The people in the tribe opposite entertained Liu Yu with the hottest etiquette, and the warrior who was responsible for shooting the black bear cut off the fattest piece of meat on the bear's body, put it on the top of his head, and motioned for Liu Yu to enjoy it.

Liu Yu doesn't understand the etiquette here, but he knows that things in the tribe are very strange, and if he refuses with people's kindness, there may be some trouble.

Cut a small piece of raw meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it violently, the peculiar fishy smell of bear meat almost made him vomit all the boiled fish he had eaten in the morning, and he took out of his arms and poured two sips of hot wine before pressing it down.

Then, he asked the interpreter to tell the people in front of him.

"China's tribal leaders have changed, not in the Ming Dynasty, but in the Great Shun. The Son of Heaven sent them to patrol the borders and visit these tributary people. The Son of Heaven will protect them. ”

When the translator muttered and spoke, Du Feng, who followed Liu Yu, whispered: "My lord, this is a peach blossom paradise." I don't know that there is a Han, regardless of the Wei and Jin dynasties. ”

Liu Yu looked at the fur worn by those tribes and the raw bear meat gnawed for the ceremony, and said with a smile: "This peach blossom source...... If you are willing to go, I will mention it to you at that time, and when the time comes, the court will open an acropolis here, how about you guard here? ”

A joke, Du Feng didn't even dare to let go of a fart, and said in his heart that I studied hard to go to the flower world in the south. Handoliwei is bitter enough, this hellish place, whoever likes to come, I won't come.

Liu Yu turned around again, asked the people who came with him, and asked with a smile: "Now there is a chance to be promoted." If there is a guard here in the future, who wants to come here to be an official? ”

Everyone in the crowd shook their heads, thinking that it was better to be an official in this shabby place for a lifetime, and it was better to be hacked to death by Dzungar in the northwest.

But this is already Yongning Temple, and it has finally come to an end, otherwise I would have thought that you would take us to the edge of the sky.

Liu Yu jumped off the horse and asked someone to prepare some wine. Although there is no pomp and circumstance like the Yongle dispatch of Yishiha, there is still something to be done to give wine and food on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

After boiling and eating the bear, and taking out some pot helmets that were frozen dry and hard but reluctant to eat, Liu Yu took out expensive peppers and peppers from his box, and boiled several large pots of hot soup.

After asking the interpreter to ask him what he wanted to know, Liu Yu turned back to the people who came with him: "This is a good thing." No one knows about the killing of people in this place, and the Rakshasas are here to bully the tribe and rob the furs. If you kill a Rakshasa person, how can the court have to reward five taels of silver, right? ”

"Besides, it's so cold, people can't rot. There is also the skin that the Rakshasa people robbed, and when the time comes, everyone will share the profits, isn't it beautiful? ”

These people who came with him had cut people on the battlefield, and they were not afraid of fighting, but they were afraid of marching with no end in sight.

Now hearing Liu Yu say this, the sullenness of the march these days suddenly turned into bursts of cheers.

Just kill a few people to scatter their hearts, and there is silver to take and fur to divide, which is really beautiful.

The translator roughly said that there were about eighty Rakshasas coming from the north, and there were already four or five villages missing. These remaining tribes united and, following the name of the Rakshasa Cossacks, elected a leading "commissioner" to fight the Cossacks.

However, in addition to the eighty Cossacks, there were dozens of people from other tribes who took refuge in the past, a total of about 170 people.

They brought three cannons, and these people had never seen a cannon before, and as soon as the cannon sounded, they saw that the wooden house was broken, and thought that there was a god there.

In addition, the arrowheads of these tribes are all bones, and they will not be used if they grab some rakshasa muskets, and there are even two pieces of bronze armor from the Western Zhou Dynasty of Yin Shang that are the heirlooms of some tribes...... There are more than 400 people entangled, and it is difficult to win, and they all have the mentality of fighting to the death.

Since this matter has caught up, it is difficult to say whether the imperial court will draw the frontier here in the future. But be prepared, fortunately because of the brutality of the Rakshasas, in contrast, it is the time to bring these tribes to their knees.

People look forward to the stars and the moon, and look forward to the great tomorrow to save them, and if they leave at this time, then the ghost here knows what legends can be made up in the future.

Liu Yu decided to fight here first, and then take some people back to the capital. The Son of Heaven, all of them are so happy, in the land of 293 years of tribute, there are people who go to the capital to pay tribute, and they can have light on their faces.

More than 80 Rakshasas and 100 servants and puppet soldiers, even if they bring three cannons, they have the right place and time, and there should be no problem.

After telling the elders on the other side that he would stand up for them, there was thunderous cheers, and the name of this great tomorrow soon became the great son of heaven.

After eating and drinking, Liu Yu climbed the cliff with everyone, and finally saw the Yongning Temple stele that had been smoothed out of the text.

The obverse is in Chinese.

On the reverse side are Mongolian and Jurchen.

"The virtue of Fu Wentian is high, so it can cover it; The virtue of the earth is broad, so it can be carried; The virtue of the saint is sacred, so he can be near and serve far, and give to the people. ”

"Since the reunification of our dynasty, the world has been peaceful for 50 years. Nine barbarians and eight barbarians, ladder mountain navigation, shoulder to shoulder......"

"In the autumn of the eleventh year, there is a full path in the west of the station, and the left mountain of the station is high and beautiful......"

Liu Yu muttered the text above, and when he mentioned "Bunuer Ganxi has a full path of standing", he nodded and said: "Since ancient times, there is no need to mention it. Two hundred and ninety-three years is not far away. This old land of the Celestial Dynasty has a monument as evidence. ”

"Someone, extend this inscription. Another felling of wood, and another shelter from the wind and rain. The stonemasons also look for a large stone and carve something. ”

The stonemason bowed forward and asked, "My lord, if you want to carve something, you still need your pen to hold it." ”

"Uh......"

One sentence made Liu Yu very embarrassed.

I've been in this world for so long, and I can say two sentences in Wenyan, but look at the writing on these two inscriptions...... Write something yourself and put it here, to contrast the first two?

In the future, some people will observe this monument, and when they compare it, they are afraid that they must shake their heads. It's terrible to be uneducated.

After thinking for a long time, he turned around and asked, "I remember that it was originally called Su Shen here, right?" What else seems to be an allusion? ”

Du Feng hurriedly said: "Back to my lord, there is an allusion. During the time of King Wu of Zhou, he paid tribute cautiously and offered arrows and stones. ”

"In addition, "Chinese" said: Zhong Ni is in Chen, and there are falcons gathered in the court of Chen Hou and died, and the arrows run through it, and the stone stone has its long ruler ......"

Without waiting for Du Feng to finish his back, Liu Yu snapped his fingers and said, "That's it." After the inscription, another sentence is added: This place has been the old land of China since ancient times. Remember, it's China, don't write Dashun. ”

"Yes. Can adults ...... Someone has to write it down, otherwise how to engrave it? ”

Liu Yu was helpless, walked up to Du Feng, and asked in a low voice: "What did you just say, how do you write the first word?" ”

Du Feng thought to himself that you are really lucky, you were born in a noble family, if this is an ordinary family, I am afraid that in this life, I will not be able to talk about a fifth-grade official, even a nine-grade official.

complained so in his heart, full of confidence, lifted the wooden stick on the snow, but wrote a "shackles" shackles......
