Chapter 163 The Truth of Hidden Myths and Legends

In this troubadour poem "Yinfu Heaven", Li Shimin heard different content.

This content seems familiar.

Li Shimin became interested, and brought the language genius Du Ruhui to chat with this Yin Fubu person.

According to the average life expectancy of the Fusang Mainland, they can live to almost forty-five years old, but this old man has lived to be more than eighty years old.

Li Shimin heard the language spoken by these Yin Fubu people, which was similar to the ancient Yayan.

However, Li Shimin said to the old man in a lame dialect: "Old man, you must be the oldest and wisest among them, can you tell us about your experience?" ”

The old man drank the wine given to him by Li Shimin and said with a smile: "I am not the most wise, there are many people with superior wisdom among us, and it is because of them that we have persevered until now...... However, I was the longest-lived of them all. ”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "What are you interested in now in the "Yin Fu Heavenly Kingdom" that you are singing, can you tell us about your experience?" ”

Maybe it's because he drank a little too much, and the old man slowly let go of his restraints, because of the way the two speak, the language gap, about the difference between Hakka and Shanxi dialect, when he didn't understand, Li Shimin needed to use Du Ruhui's translation.

The old man's face was flushed, and he said very happily: "Dear king, if you want, I can tell you about our past." ”

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui glanced at each other.

Du Ruhui saw a sly look in Li Shimin's eyes.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I am very happy! You Yin Fubu people must have been in Fusang for a long time, right? ”

The old man shook his head: "No, no, no, we are all outsiders like the king, and we have indeed been here longer than you." There's no comparison with them! ”

With the help of Du Ruhui's translation, Li Shimin finally understood.

"So, when did you get here?"

"Less than twenty-eight years ago!" The old man touched a bead around his neck.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on this bead, and then he found that this black bead, and he couldn't see what material it was, but it was engraved with the heavenly stems and the earthly branches, if it was just as the old man said. The beads on his neck were exactly twenty-eight, and there were indeed some blanks on the one in the center.

The old man continued, "I don't know very well...... According to the legend of our ancestors, our ancestors established a vast kingdom of heaven in which we had no hunger, no sickness, and no calamities. Later, the servants of our king, the Fenren, were attacked by the Raccoon. Our king, in order to help the people resist the lynx, gave them horses, chariots, and giant horses......"

Li Shimin couldn't have heard the next story clearly.

Due to the threat of war, the people of the pig with the support of the king, slowly became stronger, in order to resist the attack of the lynx, their king, allowed the people to continue to expand their armaments, and their king and Dongyi broke out a fierce war.

The people took advantage of this opportunity, pretending to attack the lynx, so they recruited an army and formed an alliance with Xiyi to form a huge army, which did not participate in the northward sniper attack, in fact, the lynx attack was a deception.

When the people led the eighteen coalition armies of Xiyi through Mengjin, Di Xin finally reacted. He hurriedly formed the Yin people, armed into an army, and had a fierce battle with the Feng people in Chaoge.

Di Xin was the most important king of their Yin people, and the war lasted for more than three months. Just when the pigs suffered heavy losses and couldn't support it,

The pig people raised the begging surrender.

Di Xin was actually at the end of the crossbow, and the Yin people couldn't fight anymore, so they agreed to this peace.

However, while begging for peace, the people stabbed their king with a poisonous dagger.

The old man's tone was filled with unwillingness and anger, and he shouted hysterically: "The despicable villain's conspiracy has succeeded, our great king is dying, and the shameful traitor of the king's brother has cut off the king's head with a knife. He waged his tail and begged for mercy, and the king's army had finally returned, but alas, the king had gone...... Our Yin people were hunted down and killed by the people, and all the men acted as vassals, and the women were concubines...... We have no future. The kingdom of heaven is in ruins...... Killing and plague covered the earth with corpses, crows hovering in the sky day and night, hanging from the treetops with human intestines, it was a maddening world. Our ancestors led those brave warriors in a hard-fought battle, but ultimately lost and had to lead some of them to escape from that terrible place and wander around......"

According to the old man, their ancestors were defeated because they were completely isolated, besieged by the whole world, and even joined the camp of their enemies by several forces that could not be resisted by manpower.

The old man lost his energy and slowly fell asleep.

Even in his sleep, he was hideous and hysterical.

Li Shimin was lying on his back on the bed, still pondering, Du Ruhui sat down and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you still thinking about those myths?" When did you get hooked on mythology? ”

Li Shimin said very seriously: "Myths and legends are never groundless, I have always believed that myths are the memories of the ancient ancestors of some major events that happened in ancient times from generation to generation. ”

Du Ruhui became interested: "For example? ”

Li Shimin said: "Don't you find that the story they are telling is somewhat familiar with the history books we have seen? ”

Li Shimin has always believed in benevolence and righteousness. There is a famous passage in "Mencius": "I am good at Chen, I am good at fighting." 'Grave sin too. The monarch is benevolent, and the world is invincible. Conquer in the south, and resentment in the north; The east is marching, and the west is resentful, saying: 'Xi is the queen of me? 'King Wu's attack on Yin Ye, three hundred taels of leather chariots, and three thousand tigers. The king said, 'Fearless! Ning'er also, non-enemy people. 'If the horn of the Fall Horn is the head. Levy it for the right words, each wants to be right, and use the war? ”

At that time, it was a slave society. People who don't understand the slave society will believe the nonsense of Confucius and Mencius, however, this is the real.

During the period of slavery society, the king was only the nominal leader, why the Zhou Dynasty could become a royal family for 800 years, because Zhou Tianzi was just a decoration, a symbolic mascot. It is the princes who rule everywhere.

"The monarch of a country, as long as he is good at benevolence and righteousness, will inevitably be invincible in the world, just like King Wu of Zhou, a just war can be won without fighting."

Whoever believes this sentence is stupid.

Is Chongzhen unkind? Isn't he thrifty? But Da Ming died.

Whether Yang Guangren is benevolent or not is a matter of benevolence and wisdom, at least Yang Guang has nothing to do with desolation and lewdness. So let's talk about Chai Rong, let's talk about Guo Wei, as one of the five generations of monarchs, who can compare to these two?

However, their fate can be said to be the most tragic, and there is no one.

Although Li Shimin found this legend, it was completely contrary to the historical records.

However, there is one thing Li Shimin is particularly curious about, why these Yin Fubu people can come from the Central Plains.

Now Li Shimin has worked hard in every way, and Zhang Zhongjian's old foundation of more than ten years of crisscrossing the world, he can barely send 40,000 horses at one time, while more than 1,600 years ago, these remnants of Yin Shang could take 250,000 soldiers and civilians to travel thousands of miles.

Could it be that more than 1,600 years ago, they were able to build a 10,000-stone giant ship?

Li Shimin didn't believe it at all, he knew the difficulty of building a 10,000-stone giant ship.

Du Ruhan smiled: "These legends are very likely to be true, but that's all, myths are myths after all, ethereal, and it's not worth wasting too much time on this." ”

"We can now determine that these Yin Fubu people and twenty or thirty tribes are the remnants of Yin Shang, that is, the 250,000 soldiers and civilians led by the missing Youhou Xi recorded in the history books."

Li Shimin said seriously: "The crux of the matter is, how did they come here? Will it come by boat like we did? Even if they are lucky and have a smooth and uneventful drift here, what do they eat? What to drink? “

Du Ruhan thought deeply.

According to historical records, the ships of the Shang Dynasty at that time must not be large, otherwise when the Zhou army crossed the Yellow River, it would not have taken sheepskin rafts, and it would not have taken half a month to have only 35,000 troops.

It's so abnormal.

Small boats have limited carrying capacity, and they can carry too little water and food.

Even if they can solve the food problem by fishing, what about water?

So how to fix it?

You can't even care for them all the time, right?
