Chapter 285: King Qin
The first day of the sixth month of the fifth year of Chongzhen.
The commander of the right-wing army of Manchukuo, Gil Harang, was uneasy.
Seeing that the Shimenshui Barrage, which was about to be built, was bombarded by two thunderbolts of the opponent, the river rushed, and all the hardships of the two days turned into smoke.
According to the soldiers' report, yesterday evening, three enemies came down the rope from Shimen Mountain on the west side. The three of them waved their hands to the Manchurian soldiers who were busy building the dam, and then threw the three large clay pots they each carried into the water.
Two crockpots floated down the river to the barrage and were blocked by the dam, and the Manchurian soldiers who built the dam surrounded them, trying to see what they were, when the crockpots suddenly exploded. Dozens of Manchurian soldiers were killed on the spot, and two large openings were blown out of the barrage.
The third clay pot was blocked by stones in the river and exploded in the middle of the water before it could reach the barrage.
According to the Manchurian soldiers, at that time, the water column was three or four zhang high, and people with a radius of more than ten zhang suddenly felt numb in their calves in the water, and those who were close to it involuntarily knelt down in the water, and after the explosion, a large area of dead fish of various sizes floated in the water.
The water attack plan failed, and there was no hope of crossing the stone gate, so Gil Harang deliberately withdrew his troops.
Thousands of Manchurian soldiers camped in the narrow valley of the Shimen waterway, with tents for nearly ten miles in front and back. Because of the dead horse's meat, the man could hold out for two more days, but the horse had already eaten up the grass nearby.
The wisest decision should have been for the whole army to immediately withdraw from the valley and take Kuku and Tun through the backmountain steppe. But Sakhalian had already led his men over the mountains and deep behind enemy lines, and he could not leave Sakhalian behind at this moment.
When the dilemma was in place, the sentry on duty at night reported that the torches on the east and west Shimen Mountains were flowing endlessly, and the personnel were frequently transferred. Gilharan immediately ordered the entire army to be put on armour.
When there was nothing to do at dawn, the sentry guards came with news that the enemies of the eastern and western Shimen Mountains had climbed high and looked eastward, and dispersed in a hurry after sunrise.
……
Li Guangsan's battalion drove to Shimen, and the general staff immediately redeployed its troops overnight. On the first day of June, the news of the promulgation of the civil calendar quickly spread to every corner with the transfer of personnel.
No one can say what the civil calendar looks like, but the sun and moon moments on the first day of the sixth month in the "Twelve Taiyin Shuo Watch" are already well known.
"At the beginning of June, the first month of January is four minutes, the sunrise is three minutes and five minutes, the sun and the moon are combined with the first five minutes, and the day is in
The unitary hour is seven quarters and three minutes, and the difference between the moon and the moon is three minutes. The time when the sun and moon enter and exit is actually based on the time when the upper edge of the sun and moon is aligned with the horizon. ”
In other words, ordinary soldiers can understand, that is, the moon rises first in the morning of the first day of June, and the sun rises three quarters of an hour later. The sun sets first, and two quarters of an hour later the moon sets at the right hour.
People in the Ming Dynasty have a common sense that two quarters before sunrise is half dawn, and two quarters after sunset is half dark. The period from sunset to dark is called the "dusk" of "dusk", and the time from dawn to sunrise is called "dan" of "New Year's Day", which is connected to "bastard".
Therefore, the moonrise on the first day of the sixth month occurs exactly at dawn, and the moonset occurs exactly when it is dark. On the first day of the first month of June, a new calendar will be implemented, do you say it is a coincidence?
Ordinary soldiers didn't care whether they could see the moon on the first day of the new year, and they all looked for a place to watch the moonrise at dawn. Suddenly someone shouted, "I see, the moon is as thin as a needle", some people said, "The moon is like a disc, a little darker than the surrounding sky", some people said, "No, the moon is a little brighter than the surroundings", and more soldiers jumped up in a hurry and asked "Where is the moon?" ”
Soon the sky was bright, except for a clear sky in the east, and the sky was full of brilliant and vivid morning glow.
……
After the lunch break, it turned cloudy.
Sun Yi dressed up in a new way, took his second grandmother Qiqige, and walked into the ancient city of Jiuyuan accompanied by Yang Ritian, Sun Dingliao, and Zhu Pingwa.
Geng Xiucai and a group of staff officers were already waiting in the city, and Da Haiqiang struggled to get off the ground of the cow station.
The fathers and elders of Machi Village next to it had already received the news that Tabu Nang would bring hundreds of civil and military officials to worship the heavens, earth, sun and moon from time to time.
Originally, according to etiquette, ordinary people did not have the right to worship the heavens, earth, sun and moon. But Tabu Nang ordered that everyone share the glory of the sun and moon in the same heaven and earth, and everyone can worship! The people were boiling all at once.
When ordinary people learned that this earthen city was actually Jiuyuan City during the Qin and Han dynasties, with a history of 1,800 years, the people spontaneously came to the ancient city early in the morning to wear red and hang colors. In the hearts of the common people, for 1,800 years, every brick and tile of the natural ancient city has become fine.
The three loess mounds in the ancient city, which are called "big pimples", "two pimples" and "three lumps" by the local people, are given meanings, representing the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon respectively, and are piled up with all kinds of fruits and cheeses that have contributed at the moment.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sacrifice officially began.
Presided over by Geng Xiucai, Sun Yi led the "representatives of civil and military officials" and representatives of the elders and villagers, in accordance with the ancient rites, first sacrifice to the sky, and then sacrifice to the earth.
When the time came, everyone gathered in front of the mound representing the sun and the moon and waited quietly.
Today's conjunction of the Sun and Moon will occur at the time of the fifth minute of the New Year, which is three o'clock in the afternoon of the Hereafter.
According to the direction, Shen Shi is due southwest, and the "Xun" position in the gossip represents the wind.
"Beep beep, beep beep, beep beep", Sun Yi's mobile phone alarm went off.
"It's time to -", Geng Xiucai sang in a high tone.
Everyone saluted the mound in unison, and suddenly felt a cool breeze in the sweltering weather.
At the beginning of the Shen period, five points passed, and the ceremony was over.
Zhu Pingwa first loudly read the text of the "Correct Treatise on the Civil Calendar" to the officials and people of the heaven, earth, sun and moon, and then burned the book to inform the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon.
At this moment, ordinary people learned that the true identity of the military advisor was actually the son of Long, the grandson of Long, a descendant of Jianwen. It was the military advisor who noticed that the Ming calendar was out of the sky, and strongly advocated the implementation of the new calendar to combine the number of days, so as to save the people from yin and yang.
After Zhu Pingwa finished reading, Sun Yi solemnly named Zhu Pingwa as the "King of Qin".
Zhu Pingwa insisted that he would not accept it.
Sun repeatedly named Zhu Pingwa the "King of Qin".
Zhu Pingwa insisted again.
Sun Yi repeatedly named Zhu Pingwa as the "King of Qin".
Zhu Pingwa reluctantly accepted it.
These are all prescribed routines.
According to ancient tradition, even if the emperor was defeated, the victor had to give him a false title of "Marquis of Anle" or something. What's more, Zhu Pingwa disregarded his own safety and exposed his identity to help the coalition army.
Sun Yi decided, anyway, it was all a false title, and if he wanted to seal it, he would seal a big one, and it would be true to immediately equip Zhu Pingwa with guards to strengthen protection.
Zhu Pingwa's family lived in Shaanxi for a long time, and Sun Yi named him the king of Qin, with a nurse. As for Shaanxi, there is also a Qin king of the Ming Dynasty, who care?
With the title of prince, the next step is a fief.
Sun Yi sealed Jiuyuan as the territory of the King of Qin according to the plan.
Zhu Pingwa, the king of Qin, was not affected.
Sun Yi repeatedly sealed Jiuyuan as the territory of the King of Qin.
Zhu Pingwa, the king of Qin, was no longer accepted.
Sun Yi repeatedly sealed Jiuyuan as the territory of King Qin.
Zhu Pingwa, the king of Qin, was repeatedly unacceptable.
Courtesy.
Routines, all routines. Zhu Pingwa's acceptance of the fief is not a false title, but after such three letters and three words, it will be different immediately.
The sky began to rain.
Sun Yi took Zhu Pingwa, the king of Qin, to Machi Village to rest.
