Chapter 105 The Great Fire of Qingxiang City
Wang Anshi was stationed in the camp as a general, and every day was very fulfilling, according to Huo'er, this person was very suitable to be a gunpowder general. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He doesn't seem to dislike the boring process at all, and in just two days his work efficiency is comparable to that of a veteran who has been working for two years.
"Look, this is the power of knowledge, I used to tell you that the more learned a person is, the better a craftsman, but you still don't believe it."
Huo Xian, who was beside Tie Xinyuan, sighed and said, "There is always a feeling of overkill." ”
"There is no overkill, if a good craftsman can do it to the extreme, he may not be as good as a scholar."
Liu Qi sorted out the white cloth on his head and smiled: "Let's see what happens." ”
Today, it is the day when the Hami soldiers are buried in the ground, and a seven-mile slope in Nuoda has become a white ocean.
More than 300 senior monks of the Great Leiyin Temple sat around Qilipo, not knowing what kind of formation was placed, in short, the sound of chanting enveloped the entire Qilipo.
Today, the people standing here are not only the families of the fallen soldiers, but also almost all the high-level officials of the Hami Kingdom, and even the residents of Qingxiang City.
There are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary.
With the order of the ceremonial officer, in the piercing sound of the trumpet, five thousand fierce soldiers picked up five thousand urns of ashes and carefully placed them in the tomb.
Immediately, two other soldiers covered the tomb with stone slabs, inserted a tombstone with their names written on it two feet high and one foot wide into the stone pedestal in front of the cemetery, and finally covered the stone slabs with loess and blocked all the gaps......
After the same process was carried out seven times, the ashes of more than 30,000 fallen soldiers were all buried.
Tie Xinyuan, who wore the black king's costume, came to a very large offering table, and according to the way of the Great Song Dynasty to sacrifice the heroic spirits, he contributed three animals, offered incense, worshiped heaven and earth, and then burned the watch......
On the table to heaven, Tie Xinyuan praised the bravery and fearlessness of these warriors, thanked God for bestowing these brave and loyal soldiers on him, and wished these soldiers the grace of the Emperor of Heaven......
In the afternoon, when the ceremony was carried out, the Qingxiang City suddenly burst into flames, and the billowing smoke rose into the sky, even if it was five or six miles away, it could be seen clearly.
Seeing this scene, Tie Xinyuan just frowned and continued the ritual that he had not completed.
Huo Xian and Liu Chu, as well as Meng Yuanzhi and others, also ignored the fire in the city and worshiped the Quartet with Tie Xinyuan.
Some of the people who were in turmoil, seeing that the king and the ministers did not move, slowly stopped the confusion and continued to complete the final ceremony with the king and the ministers.
It was mainly the five thousand cavalry that rushed back to the city that finally calmed them down.
If these people enter the city, even if there is a fire, it will be quickly extinguished.
At the same time, a person cannot do two things at the same time, and can only choose more important things to do.
Tie Xinyuan looked at the smoky Qingxiang City in the distance, and suddenly a sense of pride rose.
If it had been in the past, he must have been very anxious at this time, but now, he found that he could completely ignore the fire of Qingxiang City and concentrate on completing the sacrificial activities.
Everything has become a weight that can be measured in front of Tie Xinyuan, as long as he keeps the important weight, he doesn't feel that it is a failure.
Nearly an hour had passed, and the fire in Qingxiang City seemed to have become more violent, and the warriors who rushed forward were covered in blood, telling the Iron Heart Source City that there were extremely powerful warriors attacking the wolf's den.
Tie Xinyuan glanced around, and saw that Tie Xiaomei, Tie Fox, Yu Chi Zhuozhuo, Yu Chiwen, Tie Yi, and Tie Er were all around, so he ordered: "Annihilate the incoming enemy, and you don't need to leave a living mouth." ”
Huo Xian frowned and said, "King, why don't we end the sacrifice now and go back to the city to exterminate the assassins." ”
Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said: "Xu Dongsheng will handle it, let's go out today, just to give people a chance, the enemy always doesn't move, we can't catch them." ”
Liu Chu frowned and said, "The fire in the city ......"
Meng Yuan smiled and said, "It's all unimportant or need to be rebuilt immediately, so it's not troublesome." ”
Huo Xian glanced at Meng Yuanzhi and arched his hand towards Tie Xinyuan: "Could it be that everything that happened in the city was arranged by the king?"
Why didn't you inform the old man in advance? ”
Tie Xinyuan saluted Huo Xian with some apologies: "In order to be more real, I have to do this." ”
Huo Xian sighed and looked at Tie Xinyuan and said, "After all, the king still can't trust us Song courtiers. ”
Tie Xinyuan does not quibble, and the consequences of lying with these people are more hurtful than telling the truth.
"I don't have the idea of distrusting you, I just do things according to a person's instinct, and there is always a difference between distant and close relatives.
Time will tell, I think. ”
For Tie Xinyuan's answer, Liu Chu is still quite satisfied, the so-called nepotism is reasonable, a person in power first promotes and trusts people he is familiar with.
If you can't even talk about familiarity, where does trust come from?
It makes sense that some people in officialdom like to be familiar in front of Shangguan.
If a person arrogantly ignores any layman and does not let anyone into his life, such a person, no matter how good he does his job, will still be much less likely to be promoted than others.
It's not that those in power can't see his merits, but according to human nature, he promotes familiar people in order to gain more security.
Tie Xinyuan insisted on completing all the rituals required for the memorial service, without the slightest omission, let alone the slightest anxiety and perfunctory.
In the end, Tie Xinyuan, Meng Yuanzhi, and Huo Xian pulled off the red silk covered by the long tablet together, and a huge black stone tablet ten zhang long was revealed, densely engraved with names.
Tie Xinyuan stroked the stone tablet and said to everyone: "All the ghosts and ghosts, in front of my Hami Predator, will be a huge joke in the end!" ”
This statement was echoed by everyone.
Tie Xinyuan pointed to the vacant place at the top of the long monument and said, "This position is mine." ”
Huo Xian spoke up: "Doesn't the king build a mountain mausoleum? Since the founding of Hami, Mr. Ouyang has set aside a piece of the annual tax collection, and it has been four years now. ”
Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "It's better to be buried there after death than to be buried among my warriors."
Huo Xiang, you record, I, the king of Hami, will not be able to afford a mountain mausoleum after his death, will not be buried thickly, will not be martyred, and will not take away any gold and stone things, only a stone tablet will be needed to record the merits and demerits, and leave it for future generations to remember. ”
Liu Chu took a deep look and said: "The king is wise! Thick burials will only attract tomb robbers, the former Han family of 1,600 kings, the tombs are empty, the bones are everywhere, miserable. ”
Tie Xinyuan smiled: "I'm not as wise as you say, I just think it's the biggest stupidity to bury wealth in the soil, let it not see the light of day, and wear it out in vain." ”
The conversation between the king and the prime minister soon spread throughout the crowd with a special loud voice, and even the cause of the fire in the city was also informed to the people.
Tie Xinyuan looked at the excited people, smiled and pointed to Qingxiang City, "Let's go back now and crush those bedbugs." ”
Musin did not participate in any of the attacks, and this noisy attack was not presided over by Musin.
He didn't even give any orders to attack, and the reason for the current situation was entirely due to the miscommunication between him and the rest of the Great Eclipse and Persian warriors, coupled with a cloud behind him, and an attack that he did not expect began.
Since the fire in Qingxiang City began, Mu Xin sighed and returned to his small courtyard, closing the door and ignoring what was going on outside.
The feathered arrows had already left the bowstring, and it was too late to say anything.
Musin closed his doors because he noticed that people on the street were closing, and he couldn't even see much panic on the faces of those people.
"It's a big trap."
Musin let out a scream as he closed the door.
Musin was able to keep his peace, but Adasi was not, and he watched as the mighty Persian warriors entered the wolf's den and into the city lord's palace, but the sound of fighting always died down in a short time......
He saw with his own eyes that the heavily armed Mamluk knights had just left their station, and before the speed of the horses could rise, they were surrounded by a surging crowd.
Those despicable Hami people did not give the Mamluk knights a chance to fight at all, and countless fishing nets fell from the sky, enveloping not only the Mamluk knights, but also the war horses.
The horses were stabbed down by the Hami with spears, and the valiant Mamluk knights were dragged through the streets by the Hami hooks.
Adassia's heart will be broken.
"Elder!"
Adasi fell at Musin's feet and wept.
Mu Xin sighed and said, "This is the end of recklessness, Adasi, how many warriors are there who attack with a cloud this time?" ”
"Three caravans, one hundred and sixteen men, elders, save them."
Musin shook his head and said, "They can't bear it anymore, so they let a cloud take advantage of it, and it is their irritable hearts that kill them, so that they forget my teachings."
If you forget God's teachings, you will naturally die without a place to be buried. ”
Hearing Mu Xin say this, Adasi could only close his eyes in pain, as long as the warriors had a heart that was not willing to be lonely, it would be an insult to them to want a group of high-ranking warriors to live like rats.
"It won't be long, Adacy, they died in Fragrance City, and I will die in Fragrance City, but you can't die here."
Under Adacy's stunned gaze, Musin dragged a wooden box from under the bed.
He fondly stroked the box and said to Adasi, "These things are worth more than my life.
If a country wants to be strong, it is not enough to have strong force.
How many powerful kingdoms have been born in the valley of the two rivers, and where are they now?
The power of the moment is only a passing cloud, and the wind blows and disperses, and only those brilliant chapters of wisdom can be left for eternity......"
