Preface: The Dali Chronicle Chapter 4, Soldiers, Poems and Food
Dali is the most important three things - swords, poems and books, and food.
In the era of Lile, people were divided into three classes and nine orders, the upper Son of Heaven, the middle princes, the lower class were Li Min, the Son of Heaven was in charge of swords, and the soldiers were also in charge of poetry and books, and morality ruled the world; The princes only have swords and soldiers to salute the Son of Heaven and rule the people; Li Min was educated by the poems and books of the Son of Heaven, and was also subject to the control of the princes' swords and soldiers, so he was at ease to teach farming and mulberry.
In the era of the hegemon, the princes were arrogant, and there were more poems and books in their hands, after all, the will of heaven that occupied one side of the world was even stronger than six shameless and great overlords who could wait for the Son of Heaven to govern.
In turbulent times, Kyushu still values these three things - swords, poetry, and food.
The history of the five hundred years and three eras of Dali is just that the princes of the Son of Heaven will use poetry, books and morality as thick soil to spread all over Kyushu, so Kyushu grows grains, gives birth to all the people, and the princes of the Son of Heaven then use their swords to harvest and turn over the soil.
This is order, and the cycle repeats.
In the era of Lile, the first saint Boqi spread Kyushu with benevolence, righteousness, and faith as the thick soil, and Jiahe gave birth to Luoyi, and the swords and soldiers were only used to control the Quartet.
The saints of the era of the hegemon are unknown, and six shameless and great overlords use swords to reign supreme.
In turbulent times, the morality of the world comes from the Luoyi Academy, and the morality of each state comes from the saints of all countries. The first recorded sacrificial wine was Yin Yin, no one knows how old this Taoist sage is, his morality is to rule by inaction, and can only restrain King Lu Chai Kao, not the world. All countries in the world have their own morality, and the status of the sword and soldier suppresses the morality of poetry and books more than one.
Zichou and Yin Yin discussed the Tao for three days, and Yin Yin returned to the Tao Mountain, and the world's moral obsession with the bull's ear is the Confucian sage Zichou. Zichou's morality is benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, loyalty, and filial piety, compared to Yin Yin, Zichou's morality obviously overpowers Yin Yin, at least the people of Li and half of the princes in the world regard Zichou's morality as a guideline, among which the model is the two sons of heaven and Song Xiao in the Li family.
"Mr. Min was raised, and then edified. As for Bingge, it should be done at the right time. This is Zichou's summary of swords, poems, books and food. In the last year of his life, Zichou was as old as a piece of land that had cracked open because of dryness, and finally died and was digested into smoke and dust. Some people say that he drifts away with the wind, and the four seas and Kyushu enjoy his blessings, so Kyushu goes up to the Son of Heaven and down to the people of Li are all sad and weeping; Some people say that he turned into new mud and fell to the ground, so Luoyi grew Jiahe, and the next year Kyushu was a good year.
In the twenty-second year of King Lihe, in the four hundred and ninety-ninth year of the Great Li calendar, in winter, Zichou died, Luoyi warmed up and had Jiahe Sheng, and He got two ears, which was for Jiahe, which was a rumor. How can grass seedlings grow in the cold winter wax moon? Where will there be seedlings and two ears?
However, the following year, that is, the twenty-third year of King Lihe, it is a fact that Kyushu ushered in a good year.
After Zichou, Luoyi School Palace was reduced to Song Xiao's backyard, although Zichou's first apprentice Ren Xuegong sacrificial wine was pushed to be the first victory in the world, but his morality was only prevalent in Yuzhou, only paved with a country of Song, and even the poetry and morality of the Song Kingdom were not all benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and faith, after all, Zou Gu was still a saint of the Zongheng family.
Song Xiao is like a down-and-out and simple farmer, who originally had only one thin field, and squeezed out the grains from between his teeth to buy a set of sharper swords, relying on this set of sharp swords, from a down-and-out and simple farmer to a thousand miles of fertile land and hundreds of cities in the Central Plains to become this cunning fox. There is more land, whether it is a strong enemy from all sides or a restless remnant, Song Xiao urgently needs poetry and morality to spread the thick soil in Yuzhou.
Song Xiao has millions of soldiers and 100 generals as sword soldiers, and can expand the land for thousands of miles; Song Xiao has benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, faith, and vertical and horizontal techniques for poetry and morality, which can educate all people; Song Xiao has 100 rich cities and 10 million Li people for food, and can raise millions of soldiers and 100 generals.
Xiong Ran is a diligent farmer who cultivates diligently, the land of Jingchu is rampant with poisonous miasma, thorns, it is a land of thin soil, relying on seven generations of people to be reckless in the grass everywhere, trekking through the mountains and forests to do things, the Son of Heaven finally opened up this thin soil land to two thousand miles wide, across three continents.
The ancestors were also down-and-out farmers, although they were diligent, but only a thorn knife was left for Xiong Ran, and the land of the cone was turned into a barbarian by the princes. The Chu people feed on millet and open the mountains and forests with thorn knives, but they can't eat enough food and can't cover their bodies with clothes, where can they talk about education?
It was in this place that Xiong Ran opened up the territory with a thorn knife and became a great country in the world. Now there are generals with swords and soldiers in their hands, four expeditions and four royals, a total of 900,000 troops, and the help of peasant saints and seedlings, and the land of the cone, from being unable to eat to having three times the size of the world; As for the education of poetry and books, there are Miao Sheng and the national teacher Muer, and the Chu people, Miao people, Baiyue people, and even the newly conquered Qi people are all advocating education.
Song and Chu are one of the largest countries in the world, and the two countries are staggering in terms of national strength and territory, but in the final analysis, it is still only the history of swords, poems, books and food.
As for the history of the descendants of the three Dongying old kingdoms of Lu, Wu and Yue, it is nothing more than the interpretation of swords and soldiers, poems and books, and grain, among which Lu is the most distinct, after all, Lu has Teng Yun, a rebel general of Chu State, as a sharp soldier, and there is a morality of inaction and rule that was abandoned by Xiaobai and the newly enabled etiquette and morality, and there is food in the land of the three states to feed the people.
Liangzhou and Shu have rich plains enough to support the people, although there is a sage Xuan Xian Xuanlang, but this person seems to be just an ethereal myth, after all, it is too mysterious. Therefore, the three things in Shu also lack poetry and morality, only food and swords.
The noble Luo family in the Shu army is dominant, from Luo Haoran, Luo Bingran to Luo Xu, the current Sima Luo Zhan to Luo Che, Luo Que, Luo Du, Luo Ping, and Luo Bao'er are all in the army, but only Sima Luo Zhan and his son Luo Bao'er are still alive now, and the rest of the Luo clan except Luo Ping, who died at the hands of Chu General Xiong Xie, were all lost in the hands of Jiang Hou.
The citrus country is a small country, although the sparrow is small, the five organs are complete, and the citrus country is small. Jiang Wangshu once advised "Shang Yang Minshu" to raise the people, although the twenty-third year of King Li He was a good year, but in the next three years, the war in the Fang Kingdom was endless, and even on the verge of annihilation, and the people were not able to make a living; As for the sword soldiers, there are four realms to guard the four realms, the old and the old alternately, and there is only one person in the north to govern Guijiang Wangshu; Although the education of poetry and books is not strict, there is no shortage, at least whether it is the former temple master or the doctor of the thirty-two cities, they all advocate education, but the content of poetry and book education is mostly the sense of belonging of the Ba people.
Although the two countries have joined forces to resist Shu for a hundred years and there is no civil war, in fact, both countries have the determination to restore Pakistan, so the same river is called different, so the Qi country of Bashan has ordered the mountain to be Daba Mountain and pressed the head of the country, so the fishermen of the two countries on the river are fishing but not in the heart of the river, and even because the fishermen compete for fish, a war broke out.
The Jizhou Seven Kingdoms Alliance takes Qin Huai's vertical and horizontal art and a small amount of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and letters as poems, books, and morality to educate the people, because it is adjacent to the Song Dynasty and Hus, and there is Beidi to the south, so the Seven Nations are fierce and fierce, many warriors, many chivalrous, and the men of the whole country are all swordsmen from the old man with gray hair to the young man with the bundle of hair; As for grain, a small amount of grains is grown, a small amount of wild fruits are gathered, a small amount of game is hunted, and a small amount of livestock is raised. Mixed together, barely enough to make ends meet.
Yan country is in the cold winter land, the winter is long, the grains are difficult to grow, the food is not enough to feed the people, so it is difficult to raise swords, so there is no poetry and education. Although Yan is a descendant of Beiyuan, it has long been integrated with foreign countries such as Chidi, Baidi, and Guzhu abroad, and the bloodline is no longer a pure Li people, so it has always been rejected by the princes, and even the Seven Nations Alliance in Jizhou is not friendly with Yan. It is still located in a remote and extremely cold winter, and the princes do not covet this evil land.
The land that is worse than the winter swallow land is the land of the Hus, except for herding sheep, horses and cattle, it can no longer afford to carry more, so the Hussite can only raise 300,000 iron riders for thousands of miles. If the history of the other eight states in the world is inseparable from food, poetry and books, and sword soldiers, then the history of the Houthis is much more monotonous, with only sword soldiers and only conquests.
The land is used for grazing, grazing half horses and half cattle and sheep, and as for grain, wouldn't it be good to plunder?
Poetry and books are full of food, and only those so-called gentlemen, masters, saints, and sages who bewitch the public will moan without illness.
The Houthis only have soldiers, and the Houthi king Wei Xiuqing is invincible in the world out of blue; The eighteen warriors have gone to five of them, but the remaining thirteen warriors are all second-class top; 300,000 iron horsemen are invincible.
The Husse were originally a member of the former dynasty, and they were fused with Qiang and Dog Rong in the land of Huthis for 500 years, and their behavior was very different from the style of Dali, that is, the most important food and poetry books in the history of Dali were abandoned, and only ridiculous soldiers remained.
Is Bing Ge ridiculous? It's not funny. King Wen is fighting a decisive battle against Yu Lili, and even the song "Chasing Deer" is also a song to praise King Wen.
King Wen also relied on soldiers to win the world, King Wen can, how can Wei Xiu not? All the land of Yongzhou was returned to Hus, and the surrounding Qiang, Dog Rong and other foreign nations all surrendered. If Song Guo is like Song Xiao, a cunning fox who knows how to fake sleep and show weakness, and will wait for an opportunity to move, then Husé is completely a greedy wolf like Wei Xiu. Wolves are the most perfect killing machines in the world, cold-blooded, ruthless and full of intelligence, they completely abandon superfluous structures, and their entire body structure is made to kill.
The greedy wolf is like this, and so is Wei Xiu, Wei Xiu is the greedy wolf nine knives handed down by Qi Mu, and he also practices the knife dragging technique created by Bai Er. The Nine Swords of the Greedy Wolf were comprehended by Qi Mu in the mouths of the wolves, and they were the sword techniques taught by the wolves, which naturally inherited all the advantages of the wolves, cold-blooded, ruthless and full of wisdom.
Wei Xiu is known as a greedy wolf, and his eighteen warriors are all wolves, and the 300,000 Houthi iron horsemen under his command are also full of wolf nature. Wherever the Houthi west wind hangs, the Houthi iron cavalry hits, only the Yangguan is not broken, and the eastward advance is blocked.
The turmoil continues, and the game of chess in the world is still continued by swords, poems, books and food. Swords can calm the people, conquer, defend against the enemy, and rule the world; Poetry and books can educate all people, save the world, and can also be troubled; Grain can feed the people, can raise hundreds of families, can raise martial arts and knights, can raise the princes of the Son of Heaven, and can raise the third and ninth orders in the world.
There are thousands of chessboards, playing the world, learning the palace, cooking wine and playing swords, stealing jade and killing, captivating the country and the city, and the field is full of games; The characters are all kinds of people, the princes of the Son of Heaven, the hundred schools of thought, the martial arts knights, the thieves and the doctors, the beauties of the country, everyone is a warrior.
