In the evening, Dia Bird feasted on the old people of Xilong.

Many generals who have stayed in the Jingkang ** team, in addition to eating and drinking, faintly have other expectations, because the surrender of Chen is imminent, and the king arrives at the front line, according to custom, it is to reward the three armies. Unexpectedly, the banquet was held, the army and the people enjoyed together, the soldiers danced in groups, and Dia Bird drank and talked with them one by one, but it was not a royal order, announcing the reward for the three armies, in addition to improving life, one person gave him a few taels or a dozen taels of silver.

This is a very common idea, and it does not mean that people are greedy for this amount of money, but this custom has always existed.

At least Qi Lian was asked by several people.

He couldn't help but hesitate, you know, if you remind Diao about this matter, a few taels of silver per person, that is, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will be scattered.

Does the Eastern Xia State have so much money?

Once he opened his mouth, how could Dia Bird refuse?

He came to Dia Bird's side, and he wanted to speak several times, but fortunately, Gong Shantong also came to remind Dia Bird and beckoned Dia Bird to talk to the place where he was back.

As soon as the words came out, Dia Bird laughed with a "flutter".

War is inherently a wasteful affair.

More than 100,000 people are rewarded, and it is difficult to say whether the number of millions can be stopped.

This million is not a million dollars, but a million taels of silver. Dia Bird in the country, the reward is to kill the cattle and sheep in his inner house, improve the life of the soldiers, and often give people a meeting gift, all as a red envelope to those subordinates who came to congratulate, really not just to be happy, directly to the army are rewarded, how much money is given to one person. But this is a custom in Jingkang, and this money must be paid by the emperor. In the war, the emperor came to the front line to send it, won the battle, triumphantly sent it, the emperor died, and the new emperor inherited the throne, and he also had to send it, and the biggest inducement of the Changyue Rebellion of that year was that the emperor could not take out the reward for the three armies, planting unstable factors.

Therefore, when the emperor had no money, he did not dare to go to the front in person, and the army won the battle, and he could not appear in front of the emperor in large numbers by the army.

And the emperor, those who love to spend money and can't save money, also have to collect money.

Qi Lian saw Dia Niao smiling, and his heart was suddenly relieved, feeling that Dia Niao had prepared money.

Gong Shantong's heart was tight, and he felt that Dia Niao didn't pay attention to it, and he could still laugh.

Dia Bird glanced at them and said softly: "In Eastern Xia, the army is paid silver, and there are festive things during the New Year's Festival, and the imperial court will have additional hair. But there is no reward, the benefits are evenly distributed, and the picture is supreme, and Lone has never done it. It's not that Lone has no money, how much money Lone has now, Lone himself hasn't calculated. But fighting from afar, do you have a million stripes of silver alone? You are embarrassed and lonely. And I don't dare to open this atmosphere, in the future, Lao Tzu will die, Lao Tzu's son will come to power, and the army will ask him for money, isn't that bullying the orphaned son? announced that Dongxia did not see people to pay a reward, but prepared a settling-in fee for everyone, and those who went alone, settling-in expenses, came out alone. ”

Qi Lian lowered his head in contemplation.

He raised his head and asked, "Can't you take some from Chen's treasury?" ”

Dia Bird shook his head and said, "When it is time to withdraw, Gu will take it, but it is not to take it out and send it to people, but to reward war exploits, help the poor, and subsidize military expenses...... Moreover, you hundreds of thousands of people can't be called an army. ”

Seeing Qi Lian's brows furrowed again, he asked softly, "Feel lonely and sour?" Disappointing you? ”

He also had a headache for such a bad habit, and turned his face to look at Gong Shantong.

Gong Shan pondered for a moment and asked him, "Can't you call the settling-in allowance that will be given to them in the future as a reward?" ”

Diaobird shook his head.

Dia Bird said with a little wine: "As for the reward for meritorious deeds, meritorious people can report it, reward, and this is the end." ”

Gong Shantong couldn't say anything, and he stopped talking, but when he saw someone coming from the base camp, he didn't say anything.

The participants who came from the base camp got the news, and as soon as they arrived, they said: "Jingkang's army is marching to Liangcheng in a hurry. In some places, we were told to let them go. This group of bitches raised them can't fight well, and they run fast for merit, the king...... You say they're not going to fight us, are they? ”

Dia Bird held the copper cup and took a sip, with a wry smile in his eyes. He said, "I shouldn't let it, why should I let it?" In this way, give them an invitation to Yang Du Da Zongrong, accept Chen Guo, he can bring people to attend the ceremony, and just mention the conditions for handing over Chen Guo to them. At this time, don't compromise with them, if they dare to use troops, if they don't restrain and have no sense of proportion, they will beat Lone hard and fight back. Let's talk about it after playing. ”

He added: "In view of the situation, it is better to be surrendered to the city as soon as possible." ”

Dia Bird nodded.

He also told him that the place of surrender, the steps of surrender, the ceremonial music used for surrender, and the soldiers and horses to be selected for the ceremony of entering the city had been drawn up...... Diao's bird looked up at the feast in full swing and commanded, "Report it after the feast." ”

As soon as the people in the base camp left, Gong Shantong analyzed the current situation and said: "Since the army of the imperial court is coming, the army of the uprising should pay more attention, and the king should not save this money." ”

Dia Bird thought about it too, sighed, and almost let go.

Subsequently, he asked: "Is the army's spirit stable?" Not to mention that as soon as the imperial army drove over, they followed the imperial court to the south. Then he looked at Qi Lian, forced his eyes and asked, "Is it so important whether to send this money or not?" He then threw the question out and asked, "What about the army at home?" Lonely sent to you, what about the people in the lonely country? In the battle of the high slaves, the old and young in the country were mobilized alone, and almost every family was out of the family...... Okay, if you grit your teeth alone, you will be rewarded with all the rewards that are equivalent to a few thousand Dongxia dollars for the family. The question is, what's the point of sending this money? Prices in the country will go up, right? Money is not a physical object. The country has more money, but the real thing is the same, what role can it play? ”

He stunned the two of them.

He also woke himself up, this reward is meaningless and hypocritical, it is to give money to the Supreme.

He said, "Alright, alright," and walked to the banquet.

Qi Lian and Gong Shan looked at each other, after all, everyone had been separated for many years, and I didn't know if he was impatient.

Dia Niao came out, Qi Lian and Gong Shantong followed, and Xue Li was looking for them all over the world.

Tuyunzhai is controlled by his troops, and the imperial army wants to pass through, but he doesn't know who to report to, so he rushes over and says: "The imperial army wants to pass through my place, and a strong threat says that they are the army of the Son ......of Heaven, and if they don't give way, they will go against the sky."

Dia Bird grabbed him by the shoulder, pushed him back and said, "Still against the sky? Regardless of him, drink. ”

Back on the field, Dia Bird talked and laughed with people everywhere, waiting for the dancing Dongxia soldiers to come up, pulling this up, pulling that up, and having fun together, but he found that the Xilong people were probably restricted by customs, and few people played.

The oily Da Da Er Tiger was stuck in a group of high-ranking people, bringing the primitive shaman dance to everyone, and immediately shrouded the shaman customs.

Many Xilong people don't understand it, they don't understand it, but they feel mysterious and weird, mixed in it, and sparsely cheer with others.

Gong Shantong was worried again, and said beside Dia Bird: "The tribal taste is too strong, and the king is not afraid of people being disgusted." ”

Dia Bird sighed: "You were moved north by the Chen Kingdom, and you have not been exposed to shamanism? ”

Gong Shantong said: "That's why I'm afraid of people's disgust, and people from the Chen tribe come here from time to time. ”

Dia Bird slapped his head, only to feel that he had made a mistake, and when he entertained these old people, he didn't think much about it.

What a waste of this dance.

This is a very traditional Gao Xian dance, and I don't know how much meaning it carries.

Dia Bird felt that there were a lot of hidden problems, and couldn't help but want to say a few words and raise a hand.

Di Heihu reminded the people around him: "Stop. The king has something to say. ”

The room slowly fell silent.

Diao put down his glass, came to the center of the venue, raised his hands and pressed down, so that everyone could relax and not all stand up to show respect for themselves.

In fact, he didn't think about what to say in his heart, he drank a lot of wine, although he knew that there were still a lot of things, and he restrained himself, but he still had a little bit of alcohol.

He looked around and asked, "These warriors just gave a dance, do you know what kind of dance it is?" ”

Bo Xiaolu shouted: "Swan hunting." ”

Dia Bird nodded slightly, and he asked, "Do you know why this dance is called swan hunting?" ”

Bo Xiaolu couldn't answer, and retracted with a smile.

Dia Niao looked at Da Da Erhu and asked him, "Li Hu." You made people do this dance, do you know where it came from? ”

Ta Da Erhu replied crisply: "King." I know. ”

He jumped out and ran out.

In fact, some people began to wonder, this is obviously his son, how did he become Li Hu at this time.

Standing in the firelight, Ta Ta Erhu said fearlessly, "I know the origin of this dance, so I offer it to you with my subordinates." But no one applauded. Isn't the kid a bad dancer? ”

Diao looked at him with a little pity.

This kid thought he didn't dance well so he was cold.

"Once upon a time there was a tribe whose leader was Long Qiqian, and he lived next to the Hu, which was a place name. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "Some people say it's the shore of Anthracious Lake." There are not many people in his tribe, not only are they always bullied by the Five Kingdoms, but every time they go hunting, they catch very little prey. They have a lot of swans there, and if they can shoot them, they don't have to starve. But the swans flew too high, their bows and arrows were rudimentary, and they couldn't shoot at all, so in order to hit the swans, Long Qiqian raised a Haidongqing. On this day, he took his Hai Dongqing to hunt and released Hai Dongqing to catch the swan, but the swan was not caught, and he met a few hunters. One of its hunters 'whoosh' and shot his Hai Dongqing to death. What to do? Guess what? He relied on Hai Dongqing to catch the swan, but these guys who didn't have long eyes shot his Hai Dongqing. ”

Everyone thought it was strange, and the teenage children danced a dance, stood in front of everyone and told stories, and spoke eloquently. Some people also wanted to please Diao, to give him applause, to send him to reply: "What else can be done?" I must go up and catch these people and make them pay for them. ”

Ta Ta Erhu raised his two fists and shouted, "Wrong." ”

He glanced at Dia Bird and saw that Dia Bird was smiling faintly and shaking his head triumphantly.

Da Da Erhu was encouraged, and said: "Long Qiqian hated these people to death, and almost rushed down to kill them to avenge his Hai Dongqing. But as soon as he changed his mind, he said in his heart, aren't these a few young people from Yongbu? Why did the people from Yongbe come to us? ”

"So he jumped out with his men and asked some of the Yongbe people, 'Why did you come to us while hunting?' One of the young men from Yongbe said, 'There is no way. The Five Nations Department was too powerful to allow us to hunt in their range, and they killed many of us, and we couldn't hunt, so we tried our luck here. He was also very worried in his heart, that is, he shot Hai Dongqing, who was begging for a dragon. They Yongbu is the original people, guarding the border pass, and finally stayed there, there is no woman, he is thirty-five years old and has not yet married, he said, I can't compensate you Hai Dongqing, anyway, there is no wife at home waiting for me to go home, I will go with you. So he went away with the dragon beggar. ”

Ta Ta Erhu shouted: "If you are a dragon beggar, what will you do? ”

Most of the people said, "Will you kill him?" ”

A few said, "Surely he must be called as a slave." ”

Da Da Erhu laughed and said, "It's all wrong." As soon as Long Qiqian arrived home, he betrothed his sister to the young man. He said to the young man, "There are swans in the sky, and if we can catch them, why should we fight for our prey?" ”

Everyone was stunned.

Bo Xiaolu shouted: "Li Hu." I know who it is. He's thirty-five, is he's still a young man? ”

Da Da Erhu shook his head proudly and said happily: "You know, even if you are young, thirty-five is still young." Then he continued: "Long Qiqian gave a lot of dowry to the young man, and asked him to take his sister away, and said, you go back and discuss it with everyone, if it is okay, let's join the clan." ”

The crowd shouted, "This is a beauty trick." This is to deceive him, to use him, to deceive all his people. ”

Ta Ta Erhu shook his head and said, "No." This is what they all want to love each other. After the man went back, he said that the people of Yongbu agreed, and he took the people of Yongbu to join the clan with Long Qiqian, and what do you think happened to them after they joined the clan? ”

Guys can't figure it out.

Da Da Erhu said: "After they joined the clan, Yongbu brought sharp bows and arrows, which could shoot down the swans directly. As for the Yongbu, with the heroic clansmen of Long Qiqian, within two years, they defeated the Five Kingdoms, cut off the heads of the leaders of the Five Kingdoms, and avenged their clansmen who were killed by the Five Kingdoms. They struck a lot of swans at once, and the prey was abundant, so they lit torches, danced and congratulated, and danced for three days and three nights. ”

He exclaimed, "My Abba told me that when we are united, we are great, and when we are divided, we know that people who are mutually beneficial, and who can love each other, will not only overcome powerful enemies, but also enjoy peace and happiness." ”

Dia Bird waved his hand to let him go, and said to himself: "One of these two people is the ancestor of the Gao Xianlong clan, and the other is the ancestor of the Gao Xianyong clan. Children are dancing this dance and telling you this story to show you that it is not a bad thing for the people to be together and to take what they need. Our Dongxia is such a country, the Yong and Dang Na are two big clans, and there are many people from other races, and together they are a powerful Dongxia. It's a new country, it's a new country, it's about respecting each other, it's about putting aside bad habits, it's about learning from the good things of other peoples. Sitting in front of you, there are many warriors who are not our Yong people, but they are the ones who helped you defeat the Chen Kingdom, my old friends. Please accept them and our country as you did me...... Let's jump and hunt swans together, and we enjoy happiness and well-being together, not because of a dead Haidongqing. ”

He invited Xue Li: "General, can you dance together?" ”

He invited Bai Yanzhan: "Old Master, do you want to get up and do activities?" ”

He invited him to go down until everyone stood up, came over, and with a smile on his face, he stepped on his feet twice, and as the people moved in a chaotic manner, he said to people everywhere: "Dongxia will become a strong and upright nation because you accept each other and can be fraternal." ”

Da Da Erhu followed him closely, finding fault from the side, and shouted: "Integrity is a person, and the country is also upright?" ”
