Chapter 442: A Different North
A team of people and horses walked to the north, the endless fields here can not see the edge and the pale blue 'color' of the sky is connected, the beautiful dreamlike field can see the faint shadow of the waterwheel in the distance, the sound of the water can be heard in the ears, the air is full of a kind of rice fragrance, people have an indescribable comfort in their hearts...
Walking in the front is Qi Mu, he looked at his long road, walking on this solid official road, such beautiful fields on both sides, the aroma in the air made him feel refreshed, "This is really a paradise on earth", such a beautiful and peaceful heavenly evil actually appeared in this place of war and chaos in the north of the Ming Dynasty, it is really shocking.
Qi Cheng's view has also changed, but this place is like two worlds with the mirror image of the victims in the south, this kind of field and the waterwheel are shocking and indescribable, there are cows and sheep in the distance, and you can see a large pond in the distance, the blue 'waves' and 'waves' ripples in the distance, next to the sheep, there are ducks swimming in the water on the river 'swinging' ripples scattered, and mulberry fruit trees are planted on the side.
"This? Is it a fish pond? Qi Mu is strange, fish farming in the north is not better than in the south, it is very difficult to resist drought and cold, Qi Cheng is also strange Teng Yi said with a smile, "This is an ecological farm, with ponds, mulberries, fruit trees, 'chickens' flocks, ridges, for the five elements, the five elements grow together!" Prosperity of each! In such a fast time, the food produced in this place is enough to feed five families! ”
"Oh! It's so amazing," several people saw it in the past, and when they looked closer, they could see the 'fat' fish in the pond, the 'chickens', ducks, livestock, etc., on both sides, and fruit trees planted on both sides, Qi Mu was surprised, "So! Isn't it true that the farmers here can eat 'meat' every day? He said in surprise.
"Definitely! If the farmers here want to eat every day, they can eat fish, meat, chickens, ducks, and if they become military households, they still have chickens and eggs to eat every day," Teng Yi said, followed by the sound of swallowing saliva.
Qi Cheng didn't believe it, but after repeatedly confirming that this farm was indeed so rich, he didn't know how many such farms he had seen along the way, so he believed it, 'licked' his lips and lips, and said: "The toast I have is not as rich as these farmers!" He said enviously.
Behind Qi Mu was shocked that the daily edible 'meat', the people of southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang may not be able to do it, the people here can actually do it, he looked at this pond and was speechless, the same is why the people here live so richly, he envied the Ming people Teng Yi for the first time and said, "In each village, less than one-fifth of the ecological farms are 'made' together." ”
"Oh! One fifth" Qi Mu said, which made the feeling in his heart dissipate a lot, Teng Yi said, "In addition, the people also have a variety of five 'flowers' and eight 'doors' of farm tools available, among which there are special 'doors' breeding, the Ming people here breed livestock not like the south, each family raises its own family, but collective breeding!" The yield is often double that of individual farms! He sighed as he thought of the last time he saw the pigsty.
"Oh! And there's more! Qi Mu and his nephew glanced at each other, their eyes were full of shock, ordinary landlords in the south are not like this, the poor even eat 'meat' once a year, and the people in their mountains are even richer to the point where they are rich, Qi Cheng 'licked' his lips and lips and said, "Third uncle, the Ming people here are too rich."
Qi Mu nodded, and the wolf soldiers who followed behind were all 'licking' their lips and 'lips', and this kind of 'temptation' and 'bewilderment' of material life made them even have an urge not to want to leave here.
A group of people continued to walk forward, and they saw the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and saw a group of Huns in the distance, their various 'fur' and skin clothes, some of them wore animal skin clothes to 'expose' their jointed muscles and 'flesh', and there was a group of infantry wearing snow-white 'color' armor on the side of the horse bow in their hands, and the white 'color' cloak and white cherry blossoms gave people a very strange feeling, and they always felt that the white clothes had a kind of blood-like red 'color'.
Bai Mo walked in front without a trace of anger in his body, looking at the few people in front of him like a walking corpse: "Anyone here is close to him, otherwise he will be killed!" ”
Looking at this group of soldiers, Qi Mu could feel the murderous aura of the group of people opposite, even if he had seen the executioners who had killed countless people in Nanjing City were not as murderous as they were, he seemed to be able to smell a group of blood, God, how many people had been killed by this group of people, and the Hun cavalry? He was shocked, and only then did he understand the reason why the Beifu soldiers were actually medium soldiers, and the soldiers here were obviously more 'elite'.
His nephew didn't dare to get too close, Teng Yi stepped forward and said, "General Bai, it's me, do you remember the last battle?" ”
"Oh! It turned out to be you," Bai Mo said, "what are you here for?" ”
"I took my third uncle to see General Qin!" It's hard for him to say that he is here to defect, after all, his third uncle just has this idea.
Bai Mo nodded and said, "I'll go and report" He said in a lifeless voice, making people feel like a machine answering a speech.
Several people looked at each other and felt that this person was too murderous, Qi Mu sighed, "How many people did he kill!" ”
*******
After a while, Xiao Chuan hurriedly walked over, and there were even people from the Guangxi wolf soldiers who came to defect to him and Wang Heng came over excitedly, and saw the three people from a distance, first to see the salute, then Qi Mu looked at Xiao Chuan with strange eyes, so young? He never thought that Qin Guogong would be so young! And how did such a young man make so many 'elite' soldiers loyal to him?
Seeing that the other party looked at himself stunned, Xiao Chuan was also very embarrassed, and smiled: "What's wrong with General Qi?" ”
Qi Mu smiled apologetically, Leah on the side said strangely, "You don't go to see the potatoes" Xiaochuan glared at him, a few people who came were their own important figures, the people who were known to be prestigious in the Tusi, the policy of the Ming Dynasty was to govern the Tusi of the southwest mountain people, and the Tusi was an intermediary, Tusi was more like the head of a clan force than a nation, in the Ming Dynasty, China did not have so many ethnic divisions, even in the Qing Dynasty, it was only a republic of five ethnic groups, only clans and no nationalities in the south At this moment, I knew that there was no national concept in ancient times, only Hanyi, Reading the four books and five years of Chinese civilization is the Han nationality, which is more like a sign to distinguish whether there is a degree of civilization, Yi Di into China is China, China into Yi Di is Yi Di, and this civilization is not a narrow reference to the civilization of one clan and one family. The meaning of Han is more like a group that distinguishes whether it is a sign of civilization and not a blood relationship.
If he recruited this prestigious Tusi in the southwest into his command, he could fool more people into coming here to serve him. Qi Mu said strangely, "Potatoes? The old man has lived for half his life and has never heard of such a thing? ”
"This thing is drought and cold resistant, and it is extremely easy for a family of three to spend a year" Wang Heng said with a smile, he seemed to be saying it to Qi Mu and the others, this was obviously bragging, but Xiao Chuan did not refute it.
Qi Mu didn't believe it, and the group came to the ridge, and he squatted down to look at the potatoes in the field, his face was full of surprise.
After writing this chapter, I checked a lot of information and finally had some clue about the Tusi in the southwest, there were not so many ethnic divisions in ancient times, and the Qing Dynasty was only a republic of five ethnic groups, and everyone turned out to be a brother. For example, Hui in ancient times refers to people who believe in Islam rather than ethnic groups, and the south is mostly clans rather than nationalities, and there are many people who think that they are Han people who have become other ethnic groups after their deaths, and Han is a concept of civilization in ancient times, and people who are influenced by Chinese ritual and music culture are Han people, if not, it is Yidi, not through bloodline, when I saw some hospitals that can measure your bloodline, I laughed, ancient China developed from a small tribe on the side of the Yellow River to today's state form, how many ethnic groups have been annexed, Who is the purity of the bloodline of this Han nationality? The Chinese civilization is also a fusion of the civilizations of Qi, Chu, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei and Han on the land of China, rather than a narrow bloodline group, and ancient China is a union of countless clans. The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty also refer to a system similar to military households, in which it is not the Guang Manchus, but also the various ethnic groups in the northeast, the 'Jur' Zhen, the Han people, and according to the modern ethnic division, there are more than a dozen ethnic groups. Now I feel incredible when I see some ethnic antagonism on the Internet every day, because the current ethnic division is equivalent to what ethnic group people with different living habits or dialects have become, not that they are really not Han people, everyone is one family in ancient times, if you have to divide it according to blood, everyone is the descendants of Yan and Huang of the same ancestry.
