The following is the text of the novel (author: Huaxia Jiuzhou) provided for you, please enjoy!
September 30 of the first year of the Great Qin Dynasty, this is the last death in the Great Qin calendar, and it is also the first festival after Hu Hai ascended the throne (of course, in the Xia, Shang and Zhou and pre-Qin eras, there are many names for the New Year, but there is no festival this name, for convenience, this article will not be exquisite). Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Ming Yao will be the first day of October, and it is also the first day of the first month in the Great Qin calendar.
After the First Emperor destroyed the unification of the Six Kingdoms, the calendar adopted was actually the Zhuan calendar, with October as the first month, that is, the first month, and the leap month after September, which was called the last September. (The calendar is extremely complex, and it is not at all the same as the calendar used in later generations, so interested students can look up the information by themselves, so I won't talk about it here.) The festival has appeared in the land of China as early as the Xia Dynasty, and it has been passed down for thousands of years to the pre-Qin era, and it has also been the most solemn festival of the people of Daqin every year.
All parts of Daqin Guanzhong, Longxi, Jiuyuan and other places are lit up. Everywhere you can see groups of children gathered together, the bamboo dyed red is thrown into the burning fire, the fire is in all directions, making a crackling roar, every household will be in this place, clean the dust in the house, cut down the peach wood to make a wooden board engraved with the name or image of the two gods and generals, and put them on both sides of the gate to drive away disasters and suppress evil spirits.
Burning incense and praying, in addition to welcoming the new year in 1ri, looking forward to a good harvest in the coming year, is the most simple wish of the Chinese ancestors.
Even outside Guanzhong, such as Shandong, Shanxi, Hedong, Hebei and other places that were not originally celebrated according to the Great Qin calendar, on this Chinese New Year's Eve in the first year of Great Qin II, these places had a festival atmosphere for the first time, and the festival of Great Qin had a little taste of universal celebration for the first time. Because this year's festival is a festival like no other.
Huhai's edict to reduce taxes and exempt from military service is spreading rapidly, and now the entire Great Qin, except for the Chu land that has just been pacified, and the three counties of Nanyue have not been implemented because of the war, and the rest of the Huai River has long been no place of war, and basically all over Huhai's edict. Even the two counties of Liaodong and Liaobei are the same.
The redivision of land has allowed many people who have lost their land to regain their own land. Having land, being exempt from taxes, and not having to work means a good harvest in the coming year.
Longwei Mansion and Heibingtai were stationed in various parts of Shandong, and the giant bandits and thieves who used to make a living by robbery were either arrested and thrown into prison, or they were beheaded. Without the bewitchment of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, the people's livelihood and public order in the vast areas outside Guanzhong gradually returned to normal.
Although there are still many places where there is no effective management or even officials, fortunately, there are not many bullies who bully the market, and the existence of the Longwei Mansion and the Black Ice Platform has also made the nobles of the families everywhere rein in.
Everything was developing in a good direction, and the people outside Guanzhong began to feel the benefits brought by Daqin for the first time. For the first time, he also began to celebrate the festival according to the calendar of Daqin.
At the same time, His Majesty the young Emperor of Great Qin II has been driving for more than a month, and a succession of good news has been coming.
In the direction of Jiuyuan, Donghu was attached, the Xiongnu were defeated in Maodun and returned, and the emperor's pro-army Suzaku army drove straight into the north of Yinshan and went straight to the Xiongnu holy land Wolf Juxu Mountain; In the Chu land south of the Yangtze River, the emperor's pro-army Baihu and Qinglong defeated 300,000 Chu troops on the bank of the Huai River, and Xiang Liang was captured alive; Immediately afterwards, Xiong Xin, Zhaotong and others surrendered in Zaishou, and the state of Chu was destroyed; Continuing south, the general Feng Zheng and the general Han Xin led 200,000 troops to capture Huiji, Yanjun, Jiujiang, and Fujian.
A series of military intelligence reports came out of Xianyang, and under the operation of Longwei Mansion and Black Ice Platform, they spread rapidly to all parts of Daqin. The whole thing shook it.
Great Qin, who had been silent for more than ten years, experienced Wang Li's defeat and death, and in the shortest possible time, he used a series of jaw-dropping victories to show the invincible military might and the ambition of the young emperor.
The people whose hearts are stable will give out countless cheers if they do not hear a good news; The nobles of the family who had a dirty heart but did not jump out before, were trembling and rejoicing, and at the same time, they desperately waved their flags and shouted for the great victories of Great Qin, and sang praises for His Majesty the young emperor.
There is nothing like this in the world.
As for Xianyang, which is the capital of Great Qin, in this unique festival, it is even more plunged into a sea of joy. When every household burns incense and prays, they basically bring His Majesty the Emperor with them, and many of them enshrine His Majesty's tablet at home.
Today, there is an unusually grand event in Xianyang, that is, the Empress Li Yan of the Great Qin will pay homage to the Great Qin Heroic Martyrs Pagoda standing on the square of the Xianyang Palace on behalf of His Majesty the Second Emperor of the Great Qin.
It has been several months since the establishment of the Great Qin Heroic Martyrs Tower, and the countless heroes and martyrs who died in a hundred battles for the southern expedition of Great Qin for more than 100 years have been enshrined in the Great Qin Heroic Martyrs Pagoda one after another under the sorting out of the Shangji Mansion and the Zongzheng Mansion.
As early as more than ten years ago, countless people rushed to Xianyang from all over Guanzhong to come to worship.
Although not every worshipper has relatives and friends enshrined in this heroic tower, it does not prevent Qin Jin from expressing his respect and sorrow for these heroes of Great Qin.
Now, the worship activities of the Great Qin Heroic Martyrs Pagoda will reach a peak.
…… The renovated Chen County, because of the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor, this festival has made Chen County pay special attention to all kinds of people. And when Hu Hai heard Wei Yu ask about those who should be invited to the banquet tonight, he was a little confused, and he remembered very clearly that he did not say that he was going to set up a banquet tonight. And just said, after tonight, Ming Yao, that is, the beginning of October, a large army crossed the Huai River to Shou.
He did not plan to stay in Shouhuhai, but prepared to go directly south along the Qinchu Yuechi Road through Hengshan County and Changsha County, cross Wuling, and march to Nanhai County. Feng Zheng and Han Xin's army followed the Qin-Wuyue Road, passed through Huiji County, and then went south into the land of Minyue.
In one month, the problem of South Vietnamese children must be solved, which is the bottom limit set by Hu Hai for himself. Every time he wins, he will send a large number of letters from Xianyang to Hu Hai, including reports from various places, as well as the situation and military situation in Xianyang and various places.
Just to send a message to Hu Hai, it consumed more than half of the already small communication resources of Longwei Mansion and Black Ice Terrace. In order to ensure that Hu Hai could understand and control the major events in a timely manner, Longwei and Heibingtai even stopped using carrier eagles and carrier pigeons to transmit imperial decrees to various counties and counties, and instead used fast horses to transmit them.
Remote control is certainly not as good as command anytime and anywhere, and many decrees of the imperial court have lagged behind because of this back and forth delay, which is not caused by officials at all levels, but because of Hu Hai.
After settling the child, Hu Hai prepared to return to Guanzhong from Bashu. Among the letters sent by Pang Ai's son Pang Xin, two of them must be seen in Huhai. This matter has been delayed for a long time, and Hu Hai wants to solve it together.
And if you want to return to Guanzhong from Bashu, then time is a little tight. Bi Jing Huhai still wanted to return to Xianyang before the Chinese New Year. This is the first year he has spent in Daqin.
In later generations, science and technology were developed, roads and railways extended in all directions, and various means of transportation such as airplanes, ships, and trains could be arbitrarily allowed to travel thousands of miles. And it is in such an era of advanced information, but the Chinese New Year is gradually losing its original meaning.
How much is in, for various reasons, even if you can buy a ticket at home, you don't want to go home during the New Year. Hu Hai himself was one of these many people in the original world, which was a regret in his heart......
And in Daqin, every section is the son of Qin's reunion. Because, in the past few decades, every year, there have been countless old Qin Qingzhuang who have followed generations of Great Qin monarchs to fight in the south, and the festival is the only one they can go home to reunite. At this time, a large number of soldiers will return to their homes and be reunited with their parents, wives and children.
For the first festival when he came to Daqin, Hu Hai didn't want hundreds of thousands of Daqin soldiers to follow him to spend time outside. Although he can no longer see his parents, in this world, there are also people waiting for him in Xianyang.
Therefore, when Hu Hai heard Yu Yu say that it was a festival, he forgot to answer for a while.
Regarding Hu Hai's loss of consciousness, Wei Yi took it for granted that the emperor was too laborious for the sake of military affairs, so that he forgot about this major festival.
Although he was a little disappointed, Hu Hai quickly cleaned up his mood. This is also the matter of Li Yan worshipping the Great Qin Heroic Martyr Pagoda on behalf of Hu Hai.
The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet naturally began in the hall of the county guard mansion, and except for the three main generals of the three major armies, Weng Zhong, Du Teng, and Xu Chuang, none of the other senior generals above the rank of captain attended the banquet at Hu Hai's request.
They will replace the junior officers below the rank of lieutenant and will be on duty in the present day. Of course, the high-ranking generals who didn't come were also rewarded a lot, just that all the titles were promoted to one level, which was enough for them to wake up with a smile in their dreams.
In addition to the generals of the Qin army, such as Xiong Xin, Zhaotong, Wu Rui, Fan Zeng, and Song Yi, all of whom were subordinate or subordinate to the Chu State, all attended the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet. And Xiang Liang, who had disappeared since he was summoned by Hu Hai three years ago, appeared at the banquet again, which naturally surprised Zhaotong and others, who originally thought that Xiang Liang had been killed. But it was just an accident.
In the three days after summoning Xiang Liang, Hu Hai summoned Xiong Xin, Zhaotong, Qu Ping, and Jing Gong in three batches; WU Rui; Fan Zeng. Except for the six of them, the remaining Chu ministers were not qualified to be summoned by Hu Hai in person.
A group of Chu states, including Fan Zeng, rebelled, and by now, they have all become Great Qin courtiers.
Things in the world are often so wonderful.
Didn't enter and asked Xiang Liang what happened.
In the midst of the staggering, countless images swirled and collided in Hu Hai's mind, and Hu Hai couldn't hear what the audience said, nor did he know what was in his head. A glass of slightly cold wine went down, and on the first Chinese New Year's Eve in Daqin, Hu Hai was drunk like this.
