Chapter 333
Yang Hao attaches great importance to orthodoxy, which means that he is a continuator of Chinese civilization, not a destroyer.
It's about his beliefs, not about good or evil.
The Xia Shang and the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were divided into two sections, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which unified the Qin and Han dynasties.
Countless dynasties have changed, and the emperors of all dynasties have fought desperately for an orthodoxy, even the continents and islands of later generations are extremely concerned about this concept.
Inherited from the Xia Dynasty From a legal point of view, the State of Qi can accept the territory of the Xia Dynasty justifiably, which is not embarrassing.
Even the most righteous Ming of the country was inherited from the Mengyuan Dynasty, and this inheritance was based on the theory of great unification, and even in the face of territorial disputes, it can be fearlessly said since ancient times.
Xia Qi was finally taken down, he already knew his fate,
Yang Hao told him a lot, and he finally understood that he was not unjustly defeated.
The real strength of the Qi State is not their strong army, but something that cannot be explained, and Yang Hao calls them thoughts.
Northern!
The northern army swept away the leaves with the autumn wind and swept away the native land of the poor clan.
But they were still a step slower, and the eldest son Yi, when he learned that the Qi army was coming, was sent by the warriors of the tribe left behind to flee to the north overnight.
In the end, the Qi army did not catch up with this fleeing team, and the northern army fought all the way to Yanshan before finally stopping.
At the foot of Yan Mountain, the Qi people found a piece of pine wood, carved a Qi character on it, and stood it under the foot of the mountain.
With this wooden tablet, it means that all the south of Yanshan has fallen into the hands of the Qi State.
On the first day of October in the sixth year of Hongwu, in the bleak autumn wind, the northern army returned.
The months-long war was declared over.
This battle allowed the Qi State to completely occupy most of the northern region, and Yang Hao had completed the nominal unification.
But this is only in name, he wants to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen and become an emperor in the real sense.
Only the title of emperor is the pinnacle of the feudal era, and he is the only leader who unified China.
But now there is still a distance from this goal, even if he is embarrassed to be called emperor now, although no one makes fun of him for not being self-sufficient, he himself will not do such a self-deceptive thing.
Unlike Xia Qi, Yang Hao has no special views on concubine punishment, he should be just an ambitious barbarian in this era.
But when he heard that this guy's name was Yi, he showed a strange expression.
Hou Yi's name, Yang Hao doesn't know.
Although I don't know if the mythical Hou Yi is this Hou Yi, but let go of this person, Yang Hao always felt that something was wrong.
But in the vast grassland of the northern Gobi, what is the intention of finding a person to talk about, Yang Hao can only give up this unrealistic idea.
A teenager is just a teenager, even if he is against the sky, what can he do.
Moreover, the current strength of the Qi State is unprecedentedly strong, as long as the northern territory is digested and absorbed, it is enough to deal with any challenge.
On the day of the winter solstice, after the annual sacrificial event of the Qi state, a public trial of the Xia dynasty and poor captives began in the city of Chang'an.
Yang Hao didn't humiliate Xia Qi too much, but just said that Qi Dai Xia was in accordance with the will of heaven, how cruel the slavery system was.
But for the punishment of concubines, Yang Hao was extremely severe, because for the Qi State, there was no orthodox sexual conflict, but a naked invasion.
After the trial, all the captives of the Xia Dynasty were sentenced to death, and Xia Qi left a whole corpse and buried it in a mausoleum built for him.
Yang Hao's approach has been said to be enough to repay grievances with virtue.
As for those who were poor, they were all beheaded, and their bodies were hastily buried.
Among these public trials, only one was left behind by Yang Hao and tried in private.
Shuo Xiang knelt below, not daring to look up at Yang Hao's eyes at all.
"Raise your head!"
Yang Hao said coldly.
Shuo Xiang still lowered his head and said nothing.
"Dare to betray Daqi, don't you even have the courage to straighten your chest and fat?"
Shuo Xiang finally had a touch of emotion.
"Yang, kill me!"
Shuo Xiang said in a deep voice.
"Since you had Xin, you have laid a great foundation with me, and I have treated you well, don't you miss your brotherhood at all?"
Shuo Xiang smiled helplessly.
"It's too late to say anything now, you're very powerful, more powerful than any Ren I've ever seen, now that I'm defeated, I order you to take it, I'm sorry for them for the dead robes, and I'll make amends to them when I get there."
Shuo Xiang's voice was a little choked.
Yang Hao was suddenly furious, got up and pointed at Shuo Xiang and scolded: "Now you think of them?" When you killed them, did you think that today, because of your betrayal, all my efforts were almost ruined?
Ten thousand deaths are not enough for you.
”
Shuo Xiang lowered his head in shame after Yang Hao's scolding voice.
"Say, why did you betray Daqi!"
"Alas! I was wrong, I thought that Yang was too merciful, and that he did not enjoy himself after having power, and not only abolished slaves, but also gave land to those who were lowly.
I can't figure out what you're doing this for, your brothers are following you desperately, and in the end you can't enjoy anything, and you have made many laws to restrict your brothers' rights.
I don't accept it, I want to replace you as the leader of the Qi tribe.
I thought my idea would be supported by a lot of people, but half of the people in the army chose to resist.
I killed them, and before they died, they said that I would die worse than them.
Now it seems that they are right.
”
Yang Hao said: "Just for a little pleasure? Ha ha! I really think highly of you, you were originally born as a slave, but I didn't expect that after you have a little strength, you will become a slave, and there is no greed for people more than this.
”
Shuo Xiang choked up and said, "Yang! I was wrong! I was wrong! ”
"Wrong? It's late! I will use your life to pay tribute to the dead warriors, who will not rest without your death. ”
Liyang and the others looked coldly at Shuo Xiang, who couldn't stop crying, and no one stepped forward to plead.
They all followed Yang Hao to grow the Qi Kingdom to the extent it is now, and they already hated this traitor.
Especially Song, he can't wait to skin this person and remove his bones in order to avenge his brother.
Shuo Xiang looked at a pair of hateful eyes, and his heart was extremely sad.
"I just want to die quickly!"
"Instant death? I can promise you, if the dead brother does not, I will make you kneel before the graves of those people, eighty-five lashes a day, these eighty-five people are the robes that you have killed, and only by dying in this way can you wash away your sins. ”
Shuo Xiang had already cried silently.
Yang Hao said: "Things shouldn't be like this, there are sins in heaven to exist, and you can't live for your own sins, I hope you will come to the netherworld and see them confess to them in person." ”
