Chapter 5 The Wei Family
According to the will of the Emperor Mourning, the army of Xubei was highly assembled, and Xiping also sent Bazhou warriors from Bazhou to defend, all of which were stationed in the Quartet of Wang Jiancheng.
It turned out that the sudden change in Shenzhou was not without reason, that is, there were two people named Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who waved their arms in Daze Township and rose up, which led to the emergence of a god of war in the world, this god of war was not brave and strong, and killed the third son of Qin, and the Qin era ended, some people say that he is simply the reincarnation of Gengchen, the god of war in the Yu era, and his name is Xiang Yu, who is terrified by the warlords of the Quartet.
Emperor Mourning heard the rumors about Xiang Yu, and sighed again and again, no wonder the Qin era ended so quickly, it is not strange that Xiang Yu, the god of war, appeared in the world, and the time of the Qin Dynasty was like this! My Amaterasu Jimmu is not as good as the God of War!
Just as the world was in turmoil, countless refugees were fleeing in all directions. To the south, there are those who cross the land of Jiaozhi and go to Linyi Kingdom, Jin Linlin Kingdom, Linyang Kingdom, Dunxun Funan and other places. To the northwest, there are those who defect to the herdsmen, and the land of Xubei also ushered in refugees, the largest number of people from Yanqi and Zhao, the Emperor Wai placed them in the west boundary of the Xubei, and told them that they will become the people of the court of Jizi, and in the future, they will have the protection of Amaterasu Shenmu Emperor Wai, and all the people are grateful.
Emperor Mourning then sent several envoys, first to the coast of the South China Sea to Linyi State, and then to visit Jinlin and Linyang, to convey such a message, the chaos in Shenzhou, can wait for the opportunity to advance, the barbarian Hua Yihua together, the north and the south echo, more herdsmen are strong, will be able to stabilize the new dynasty, for the benefit of the people.
However, these countries on the coast of the South China Sea are afraid of Xiang Yu's name, and they have expressed that they dare not venture into Shenzhou and lead the flames of war into their own countries.
Emperor Wai was very annoyed when he learned of the attitude of these monarchs, and scolded: "If there is no separation between Shenzhou, you must unify the countries on the coast of the South Seas!" "It was also at this time that new news came from Tanma, and thousands of soldiers from the land of Yan came to the north of the void. The Emperor of Mourning ordered them to be let into the Barrier Land.
When thousands of Yandi soldiers were trapped in the barrier, surrounded by the warriors of the Eight Continents of the Void North, an old general led by him walked out, only to see that his armor was tattered, and he had been killed on the battlefield, and he bowed his hands and said: "The veteran Wei Man, I have given a salute to the warriors of the Void North Holy Domain, this visit is sudden, it is the chaos in Shenzhou, the new dynasty is not tolerated, there is nowhere to live, the veteran Wei Man wants to ask to see the Emperor of Mourning!" ”
Emperor Wai agreed, and a force of his own men and horses escorted Wei Mandong across the river to the place where Emperor Wai lived. When Wei Manchao saw the Emperor of Mourning, he fell to his knees and begged the Emperor to give him a place to live, and the old tears were rampant. Emperor Mourning asked, "If you look like today, there is a certain number!" Wei Man replied: "The god of war has been dominating for several years, and then died on the bank of the Wujiang River, and has entered the era of the Han Dynasty!" As he spoke, Wei Man burst into tears. Wai Huang said: "Why is the old general so sad? Wei Man said: "I want my Yan people to dominate for a while, but now they are all accused of treason, and there is nowhere to live, and Lu Juan, the king of Yan, also fled to the pastoral area without knowing life and death!" After hearing this, the mourning emperor said: "Old general, are you willing to follow me and show great ambitions!" When Wei Man heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed: "The last general is willing!" Emperor Wai said: "This is very good, I give you a fief, you have to summon Shenzhou warriors for me and gather a huge army!" ”
After that, Wei Man was named a doctor by the Emperor of Mourning, and gave Wei Man more than 100 miles of the Buxian West Fiefdom to Wei Man, and let Wei Man guard the western boundary. Wei Manchu led the army to boost their spirits, accepted the homeless people here, and recruited soldiers. The Wei Man family is a famous family, and his son Wei Meng is even more accustomed to fighting, and his grandson Youqu is about ten years old and is already a small famous general.
Wei Meng, the son of Wei Man, often blends into the people, easy-going temperament, has also worshiped the local Mongolian temple, has shown divine power in front of the people, smashed boulders, and once single-handedly drove away more than 100 thieves for the people, won a reputation among the people, very popular with the people, and the people all said that this is really God in the world. Emperor Wai knew that Wei Meng had such great power, so he personally commended him as a warrior.
At this time, the people in Bazhou often rebelled, and Emperor Wai sent Wei Meng to suppress it. So, Wei Meng led tens of thousands of troops, so that the big ship arrived, and met with the local Shenwu warrior Xiping.
At this time, the people of Bazhou, the people's customs were rude, the pedestrian market, many fraud and looting, between the mountains and jungles, many thieves, and the Shenwu Mansion of the Emperor gradually lost its authority. As a result, Wei Meng and Xi Ping began to exterminate the rebels, but for a long time, they could not be cured, and there were more and more thieves.
Xi Ping said to Wei Meng: "General Shengong, I want to be the original Bazhou Emperor Shun's five religions, the people are simple, and later the god Xu Fu promoted rice for them, bringing advanced gold tools, and the days are getting better and better, who would have thought that it would stimulate their essence and like to get something for nothing!" Wei Meng said: "I heard that Shuqing is a capable minister, good at governance, if according to Taoist doctrine, it should follow the trend, and the place with simple folk customs should be less governed!" Xi Ping was extremely dissatisfied after hearing this, and said: "Shu Qing is a loyal minister of the emperor, and now that he has passed away, how can he say that the old man is not!" Wei Meng hurriedly said: "What General Shenwu said is true! Xi Ping said: "But after all, General Shengong is a capable person from Shenzhou, and he is well-informed, so it is better to think about a good strategy and how to rectify the chaotic people!" Wei Meng said: "I have observed for a long time, and I found that the people who make trouble are all homeless people who have no fixed place to live, so it is better to follow the example of Shenzhou to implement a curfew, and all the chaotic people caught will be confiscated into the army and sent to the north of the void!" Xiping agreed.
So, the two generals often make people raid the thieves at night, catch the homeless, the more people catch more and more, and unconsciously catch enough tens of thousands of people, Xi Ping said to Wei Meng: "General Shengong, it's not a way to go on like this, so many people, let them fill the army and supply them with food, it's unbearable!" Wei Meng said: "There is no war at the moment, it is better to simply make them slaves and open up the wasteland for the eight continents!" ”
Military reclamation regiments began to be set up in various parts of the eight continents, and they cultivated for the army and supplied the army, reducing the burden of the people of the eight continents, and the people who made rebellion either hid in the mountains or changed to good citizens, and they did not dare to openly rebel, because once they became military slaves, they would never be free until they worked to death.
According to folk rumors, the dragon in the East China Sea disturbed the people seriously, causing countless fishermen to die, and Xiping and Weimeng, who patrolled Bazhou, taught the people to get tattoos, so that they would be full of power and drive away evil spirits, and the dragon would also avoid it.
Just as Changping in Bazhou, Wei Man also relied on the high popularity of the Wei family in the western realm, gathered into a big city, Wei Man saw this, shouted again and again, and ordered the people to disperse in several cities, Wei Man lived in Shenzhou for a long time, of course, he knew the consequences of the courtier's high merit, not to mention that the master who is now serving is the ambitious Jizi. However, the people who died from Shenzhou to the Void North, Wei Man settled them well, and the strong men were arranged to serve in the army, and gradually remained quiet, and already had a powerful army, but the size of the army could not be hidden, although the Wai Emperor had ordered him to form an army to defend the Shenzhou Fortress, but the current army size did not know if it would surprise the Wai Emperor, that was almost the sum of the soldiers of Xubei and Bazhou, and there were constantly Xubei people joining the Wei Man army. Therefore, Wei Man showed more respect for the Mourning Emperor than before, and did not dare to make people doubt that he had made a mistake.
Wei Man's grandson Youqu, his personality is diametrically opposed to Wei Meng's easy-going personality, he is a man of few words, his face is cold, and he is not an easy person to approach. But he always has his own ideas, and when he decides to do so, he will achieve it by unscrupulous means, and his grandfather Wei Man also concedes three points to him, Wei Man always says with a smile, my grandson is like that kid of Yingzheng.
Youqu has listened to his grandfather Weiman sigh since he was a child, saying that the Xubei Sanctuary is a great place, and sooner or later a great group of people will be brewed to enter the Shenzhou, this point of view coincides with some wise men in the Xubei, so that Youqu is full of curiosity about Xubei, he once took his Sanctuary Knight Guard to Buxian Mountain, found the temple of Meng, Youqu looked left and right, and said with a smile: "The people say that my father is the reincarnation of Meng, you see, this statue of Meng is really a little similar to my father!" But Youqu's face suddenly sank, and he said: "However, it's not enough, you have to really replace it with the statue of my father!" ”
Where is the temple of Meng casually moved, the people of the entire Xubei and even the Emperor Mourning regard it as a temple, but Youqu privately coerced a few craftsmen, those craftsmen would rather die at first, and Youqu hacked a few to death when he got up and fell, and finally the timid craftsman had no choice but to sneak into the temple late every night and recarve Meng's stone statue into Wei Meng's face.
This matter was known by Wei Man, and he reprimanded Youqu, this thing is terrible, and if it is known, it will become the public enemy of the Xubei people, but Wei Man sent someone to assassinate the craftsman, and secretly ordered someone to make the stone statue old, in order to hide from the sky and the sea, send someone to secretly monitor in front of the temple to see if anyone finds something wrong, and if there is, kill it.
Youqu knew that he had a big disaster, and when he had nowhere to relax, he heard that there was a Tianchi on Buxian Mountain, which was a place where the people used to worship the dragon, such as there were monsters in the pool today, which aroused the interest of Youqu, so he climbed up to Tianchi with the guards, looking for and challenging monsters everywhere, how do you know that he climbed to the top of Buxian, vaguely saw a huge black shadow in Tianchi, like a whale, Youqu was overjoyed, and went towards Tianchi with people, everyone entered the water, chased the monster, pierced its eyes, Tianchi water was already a whole piece red, and the monster was churning too much, Everyone had no choice but to return to the shore, and Youqu and the others suddenly felt that they were different from before, full of infinite strength, and the swords and battle armor in their hands were also golden. A knight said to the right: "Childe, we must have been soaked in the blood of monsters to be like this." Hearing what he said, Youqu hurriedly took off the gourd he was carrying, filled it with red Tianchi water, and said, "Great, put some on my grandfather." ”
Youqu came back to see Wei Man, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you love your grandson, and your grandson has brought you good things!" As he spoke, he asked his subordinates to boil water. Wei Man was puzzled, so he asked, "Qu'er, what are you going to do here?" Right channel: "Grandpa, let your grandson wipe your back and bathe you today, and give you an unexpected surprise!" Wei Man smiled and said, "It's almost as good that you accidentally caused me some trouble!" Youqu smiled, took grandpa to the bathtub, everything was fine, Wei Man entered the basin, and Youqu wiped his grandfather's back.
Wei Man asked, "Where have you been lately, haven't you caused any trouble!" Right channel: "I recently went to a good place, and the people often say that it is the Tianchi Holy Domain!" After hearing this, Wei Man said, "It is indeed a sacred place!" Right channel: "So I took something there and brought it to grandpa!" Wei Man asked, "What is it?" At this time, Youqu asked Wei Man to close his eyes, take off the gourd, and pour it on Wei Man's body. Wei Man felt that he was full of strength, and all the discomfort in the past suddenly disappeared, Wei Man felt that he was back when he was young, just when Wei Man was refreshed, he suddenly smelled a fishy smell, and hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw that the bathtub was full of blood, and asked: "What's the matter with my grandson!"
Youqu smiled: "Grandpa, this is what I brought back from Tianchi, after soaking my body with it, my body will suddenly be much stronger!" Wei Man wondered, "This looks like the blood of some animal!" Right channel: "Grandpa is right, it's the Tianchi monster!" After hearing this, Wei Man shouted: "What, you killed the dragon of Tianchi!" Youqu hurriedly said: "It's not a dragon, it's a monster, the people know it!" Wei Man said sharply: "There are only dragons in the Tianchi Sacred Domain, how can there be monsters!" No matter what Youqu said, Wei Man didn't believe it, he only felt that he was bathed in dragon blood, and he felt that Youqu had made another unspeakable disaster.
