Chapter 134: Protecting Overseas Chinese (5)

What do you mean by drastic measures? No one can figure it out. However, Cheng Qi's article successfully shifted the attention of the Chinese people to the white people of Europe, instead of fighting with the remnants of the Heavenly Sect.

After all, in the final analysis, those who can only play meat bullet attacks in the era of human landing, without the care of the Virgin Mary, and the self-respecting self-respecting self-respecting organization who pulls the shelf, in the final analysis, they will not be able to do the civilized people armed with modern industrialization in any way.

Fortunately, the current Xia Kingdom first does not have a Virgin, and secondly, there is nothing as big as the sky, if you have to say anything, then only the Xia King's anger is as big as the sky.

Modern cavalry harvesting rebels is like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and after the Liao State secretly provided a high-speed design of firearms that could be fired continuously, the fullness of the infantry position of tens of thousands of primitive cavalry was only a matter of smoking a cigarette.

Huang Taiji, as the leader of the Liao State Military Observation Group, was amazed by the effectiveness of this effective weapon against cavalry charges after personally observing the actual combat effects of five highly classified "high-speed burst projectile firing devices" from an infantry position.

"It's going to change the face of war, it's a whole new weapon." Huang Taiji carefully observed the operation of the mechanical structure of this complex mechanism when it was fired, "Who is its inventor?" ”

"It's an engineer with the surname Ma."

"He can get a gold medal, and then a marquis." Huang Taiji joked: "This weapon is named after him, Ma's machine gun, well, it sounds pretty good." ”

After the Ma's machine gun was first verified on the battlefield, its inventor was soon recruited to the Great Liao Imperial Palace and was commended by the emperor in person, and Engineer Ma was also listed as an honorary academician of the Great Liao Royal Academy of Engineering and was indeed awarded a gold medal - of course, this is a later story, so I will not mention it for the time being.

In the face of invincible mechanical power, the strength of the rebels is not worth mentioning. By mid-May, the Northern Command had announced in a very low-key manner that the counterinsurgency war had been won with the wisdom of the king's decision, and with the concerted efforts of all departments, a decisive victory had been won.

Most of the Uighur elites involved in the rebellion had been killed or captured, and a few had absconded, but the carpet search of the Rangers would soon lead to justice.

In the northwest corner of Tianyi City, there is a building similar to the Temple of Heaven and Earth on the side of the Taimiao of the Xia royal family - although because the prince cannot directly worship heaven and earth due to the legislative restrictions, the Xia King has already greatly violated the initial limit in the past two or three hundred years. This altar, built in the Zhongzong era two hundred years ago, is magnificent, and is almost the same as the Temple of Heaven and Earth on the outskirts of Bianjing.

The altar is divided into two parts, one south and one north, the north side is a round altar, made of bluestone, and the south side is a square altar, which is built with five colors of earth, symbolizing the round heaven and the earth.

The central axis of the two altars is symmetrical, and in the middle of the two altars is the temple of the Xia Dynasty, and so far, according to the system of civil and military Zhaomu, the following seven ancestors are enshrined:

Taizu Li Jiqian - the founder of the Xia Kingdom;

Jingzong Li Yuanhao - the founding emperor of the Xia State;

Kangzong Li Bingchang - the first generation of kings of the Xia Kingdom to move westward, and a generation of British lords who laid the pattern of today's Xia Kingdom

Filial piety Li Ansi - moved the capital, sinicization, and expanded the territory in one go, is a hero among the kings, and historians are known as "the master of the order of the success, the great monarch of Zhongxing." "Emperor Xiaowen of the Party Item"

Zhongzong Li Youdao - ended the 30-year civil strife as a partial room and restored the great cause since Xiaozong.

Xuzong Li Guanglie - the grandfather of the current Xia King

Dingzong Li Zixu - the father of today's Xia King.

In addition to these seven ancestors, the gods are in the two columns of Zhaomu temples in the south direction of the "Temple of Earth", and after today's Xia Wang's great trip, his grandfather Xu Zong will also be moved out of the temple and changed to be worshiped in the Zhaomu Temple.

The gods of the seven generations of ancestors in the temple received the offerings of all the Xia royal families and blessed all the descendants of the Xia kings. The ancestors in the Zhaomu Temple only accept the worship of their direct descendants, and the blood relatives of the side branches generally do not enter the worship inside.

And King Xia personally worships the previous kings, and the act of opening the temple is very rare, only once a year in the Mid-Autumn Festival and once a year on Chinese New Year's Eve. In addition, festivals such as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, cold food, Qingming, Zhongyuan and other days, as well as daily offerings, are all in charge of the special organization Taichang Temple.

Today is a special day, although it is not next to any holiday, but it is also an auspicious day of the zodiac. The seventeenth Xia King brought his descendants and grandchildren, brothers of the same clan and distant relatives to the suburbs to hold a grand suburban ceremony.

Before the formal ceremony begins, two majestic Jingguan have been piled up outside the Taimiao - Jingguan is a kind of high mound that collects the corpses of enemies on the battlefield and seals the soil, this tradition can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and has become a tradition in the Spring and Autumn Period. Since the Xia people moved westward, the years of conquest and war were extremely cruel, in order to deter the young people, after each great victory, the Xia king had to order the front line to build a Jingguan with the corpses of the opponent's soldiers, and at the same time in the capital with the captured enemy high-ranking captives to sacrifice the temple.

Today, the two Jingguan temples outside the Taimiao are the leaders and elders selected from the captured or surrendered Uighur rebels, and the front line will cut off the heads of these enemies with a certain status and treat them with embalming technology before transporting them to the capital, where they will be piled up into two terrifying skull pagodas according to certain specifications.

The Buddhism worshiped by the Xia people is not very similar to Han Buddhism, and it is not the Yellow Sect that is popular in the snowy region of Tibet, but another branch of Northern Buddhism, the Yongzhong School, which is the state religion of the former Li family in Khotan. The Yongzhong sect embraced the theories of Han Buddhism in many places, but was closer to the Yellow Sect in rituals and precepts.

Therefore, these terrifying skeletons were decorated by those Buddhist masters with great hideousness, which made people think of the words eighteen layers of hell from a distance.

Walking from the royal road of white marble, two rows of white spirit-calling flags, holding bells, wooden fish and other magic weapons, Taichang Temple worshippers chant the mantra of death, calling the soldiers who died bravely in the counterinsurgency war and the innocent people.

King Xia followed closely with his own heirs, followed by the clan relatives and nobles in military uniforms, as well as the uncles and brothers who had already become monks, and they also walked in the third formation wearing the most gorgeous and grand robes.

When King Xia walked up to the altar, a bronze giant tripod of nine respects amounting to 1,000 catties appeared in front of him, and the meaning of this was self-evident. A raging fire had already been lit under one of the bronze statues, and as the Xia King unfolded the scroll and read a passage from the "Death of the Nation" in a sonorous Chang'an accent, several strong guards threw the noblest of Uighurs alive into the boiling water......

The boiled Uighurs were certainly not worthy of being sacrificed to their ancestors—the ancestors of the Xia kings enjoyed the traditional three animals. And the boiled Uighur nobles, whose skeletons were scooped up, scientifically bound into sets, taught to some of the masters to be put on display in the National Museum, where they were put on display in the National Museum, where people had walked into the museum for 500, 1,000, 10,000 years, and pointed to them, saying, "Behold, this is what happens to traitors!" ”
