People's primary need is always to live, and when they are alive, they always want others to live too, especially when life is full of hope. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Probably no one is born with a penchant for seeing death, but when death is a punishment for hatred, people are happy to see it. At that time, the death of others was just a kind of deterioration of one's own happiness, for the dead it was death, and for the hater, it was just a means for one's hatred to be vented, and there was not much difference from a steamed bun when he was hungry.

Especially during the public trial, Chen Jian exerted all his strength to instigate, guide and incite these hatreds, and the scars that had dissipated once again appeared clearly in front of everyone's eyes with words and imagination.

The new people who had lost their loved ones last year gritted their teeth in anger, but Jian Chen, who had led it all, silently shifted the hatred from before the clan to the different levels of people, because the conspirators were also supported by their private soldiers and slaves by force.

This was originally an inevitable occurrence between clans, but Jian Chen attributed it to the personal morality of those who conspired, guiding the hatred of the people.

There are not many crimes, but they are nothing more than stealing, embezzling public property, deceiving the clansmen, instigating the people to fight among themselves, and even hundreds of dead and wounded, etc., and by the way, the food consumption caused by their betrayal from the expedition from Yucheng is counted on the heads of these people, as the basis for those who are exempted from death to become slaves to pay off their debts.

These people's culpability is not only these, in the previous secret interrogation, some people who were on the verge of collapse spit out the matter of planning to cut off food and grass during Chen Jian's eastern expedition, as well as secretly connecting with the rest of the cities and giving up the interests of Xia City in exchange for the support of the rest of the cities.

Anything that was said would be more convincing than the previous ones, but Jian Chen didn't do this, just let the conspiracy of the Eastern Crusade to cut off food circulate among everyone as a rumor, and the rest were lost to history and no longer mentioned.

You don't have to think about it to know that the two cities of Ewei were also involved in the beginning, so this forced Jian Chen to downplay these things. The cities outside of these two cities have secretly supported them, but in order to have enough population in the future, they will be thrown to Dongyi to colonize and assimilate, and everything that has passed has become meaningless.

No matter how dirty it is, when it comes time to conclude a long-term alliance, these things can only be hidden, unless both sides turn their faces and turn over these old accounts for public opinion propaganda.

Moreover, Xia Cheng has been in chaos for more than half a year, and the people have experienced too much darkness and pain, and at this time, they also need to make their hearts still believe in something beautiful and they are willing to believe.

This is a deception, a well-intentioned deception, but at least it will not make all the good in the hearts of the people collapse, and doubt that everything in the world is black.

On February 17, it was a good day, and Chen Jian stood on the high platform of the fortification, numbly reciting the names one by one.

Every time he thought of one, someone pushed this person out of the distance and pressed it under Jian Chen's feet.

The black-clothed guard played the role of a firing squad or executioner, cutting off nearly three hundred heads and piling them up on the edge of the Grass River, the smell of blood lingering on the riverside for a long time.

The remaining survivors, even the youngest children, who have not yet been separated from their mothers, have been reduced to slavery, and they are greeted with long servitude, and no one knows whether they will survive until the next amnesty.

A prison simply appeared in the city of Xia City, in fact, the prison had existed for a long time, but this was the first time that the original countrymen were imprisoned inside. Inside were mothers who were still breastfeeding and babies who had been condemned to slavery.

Two disabled people served as official jailers, and two were either crippled or lame, and those who were imprisoned were only women who could beat them and escape. But behind the two people stood the strength of the entire city, and the strength of the two disabled people was equal to the strength of more than 10,000 people in the city, and they did not dare to escape.

Nearly 300 heads were dropped on the edge of the Caohe River on February 17, thus laying the foundation for Chen Jian's dictatorship and the transformation from a clan to a settlement.

The heads, the prison near the city, the two old and disabled jailers, became a shadow over the hearts of the people, and gave a definite physical object to the rules, which were born out of the conventions of the original clan but were completely different.

In the next few days, people continued to arrive from distant Yucheng, and they were not the first people to follow Chen Jian back to Xiacheng to quell the rebellion, but the representatives of various clans and groups in Yucheng.

According to the original promise in Yucheng, those workshop workers became the people, the lowest of the countrymen's titles, but also had the right to discuss politics.

According to the rights promised at the beginning, fourteen of the forty representatives of the National People's Council were common people, and there were no other people except those workshop workers, so these fourteen people who came to Yucheng represented the opinions of the workshop workers.

At the same time, there were also the characters selected from the two cities of Feng and Wei, but they were just for show, and under the secret transaction between Chen Jian and Qiongxi, neither city could choose a person who could convince even a hundred people, and these people who came to Xia City were just a new class under the right to distribute food under Yu Qian'er.

When the representatives of nearly 70,000 people, who could nominally represent the entire Xia Kingdom to be established, gathered, Chen Jian took them to sacrifice to their ancestors.

After the light smoke sent the ashes of the sacrifice into the air, Chen Jian read out his proposal.

"Xia was instructed by his ancestors to lead his people out of the cave. Build a house and live in a city to defend, no longer afraid of wind and rain and fierce beasts; reclaim the land and smelt copper and iron, and no longer go hungry; Conquer Yidi to let the glory of the ancestors sway for thousands of miles; Create words to record the wisdom of your ancestors. ”

"Now there are several cities, tens of thousands of relatives, and they are in harmony, so I ask myself to be called Wang Jianguo."

Before the sacrifice, he solemnly performed three big salutes, and Chen Jian did not make some tricks of tortoiseshell burning, saying that it was more like a notification, and after reading out the legitimacy of his ancestors, he was considered to have completed the title of king in the sense of theocracy.

Subsequently, in front of everyone, in the name of the independent leaders of many cities, he proposed the unity of several cities, and the establishment of the country as the king, and the name of the country was Xia.

There is no and cannot be two-thirds of the opposition to Chen Jian's proposal, and the title of king in the sense of secular rights is also completed, because there is no emperor to give the legitimacy of the king, so he seals himself.

This is ridiculous, there is no grand ceremony and no crown, some are just cheers of more than 10,000 people, and even some old farmers who have just had the status of Chinese people are excited tears.

Any new regime that is different from the old one before it always has a governing legal rationality. The hanging of the people, the expulsion of the Tartars, the liberation of the country, the long live of the nation, the immortality of the slave owners, and so on, even if they are ordered by heaven, can be used as the basis of the entire regime.

For example, when a man who started his life by shouting the slogan of expelling the Tartars began to borrow troops to help in the suppression, he probably announced the end of the regime; When a regime that shouts that it is ordered by heaven to take the initiative to start a humanistic change means the end of the regime. Even if the people who were in power may still be alive and still have rights, the regime itself has changed.

Since the simplest foundation of being ordained by the divine authority of the Heavenly Monarch has been abandoned, the foundation of the newly established Xia State regime is only the road of making the lives of the people better, conquering Yidi, and developing production.

Choosing to be called king by the order of the ancestors means that the burden on his shoulders is heavier. There is no crown on his head, but the crown in his heart is as heavy as a thousand pounds.

On the first day of becoming king, in the face of thousands of trusting and expectant Chinese people, looking back on the way he had come, Chen Jian explained Xia Guo like this.

"It's not a good day, it's not that today we say that we have built a country, not a city, and tomorrow we can live the same life as our ancestors in our dreams. Just like corn, it will not be ripe in two days just because Xia City has become Xia Guo Xia County. ”

"But it's not something that you can't see, it's not that today it's a country, it's not a city, and tomorrow it's exactly the same as before, but the name has changed from a dog to a cat. Just like corn, it will become more neat and grow better because of the columbia. ”

"It is a boat that stands on the bank of the river and looks downstream, and can already see the tip of the mast, it is standing on the top of a high mountain, and it is a round of sunrise that is about to burst out in the east, and it is a baby that is about to mature in the womb of its mother."

"I can see it, but I can't touch it yet, this is the future of Xia Guo."

"We are to be the wind that blows the sails, the chariot that pulls the rising sun, and the tongs that draw the baby."

"That boat, that day, that baby, maybe next year will only be able to eat ten catties of meat a year. When we eat ten pounds of meat, it is when we touch the ship and the sun. ”

"When these touches are in our hands, we will still stand on the top of the mountain and look forward, and there will be new masts and new sunrises, and then we will turn into wind and cars with our hands, and touch everything new into our hands."

"This kind of overlook and post-gaze work is Xia Guo."

"I won't cry in despair because I see but can't touch it, and I won't stop looking because I touch it, this is the Xia people."

"Fellow relatives, join me in building this country together for the simplest of looks—better than yesterday."

"Even if you have one more acre of land, one more sheep, one more pound of iron, one more martial arts, and one more convenient tool than last year...... Even if it's just these, when we grow old, when our children enjoy the beauty that we have never enjoyed, and look at the view that we dare not think, you can proudly and proudly tell your children and grandchildren: your whole life and all your energy are dedicated to the Xia Kingdom, to your ancestors, and to your children and grandchildren. ”

"Xia Guo Wansheng! Forever Heaven and Earth! Forever on posterity! ”
