Chapter 2 What a big mallet, Chang Yu (I)
In the valley of the Longxi River, there is a city, which is not big, covering an area of only ten miles, and this is the place where the Qin tribe who stayed in the ancestral land lived.
This city is not large, but it is strong in strength, the city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The Qin tribe was originally a nomadic people, and there was no city to guard. Since entering Guanzhong, the Qin tribe has also been studying and has begun to build cities. This ancestral land, in order to better defend, is naturally going to build a city.
When I entered the city, I saw that there were many houses, as always, revealing the style of the Qin people, simple and atmospheric, but not luxurious.
In the north of the city, there is a huge tent, Ying Ben pointed to this tent and explained to Qin Yiren: "This is the tent that imitates Xianggong back then. Seven hundred years have passed since the time of Xianggong, and the tabernacle of that year has long been decayed, so Daqin has to remake it according to the way it was back then. ”
As soon as we mention the state of Qin, we will play Qin Shi Huang, and then Qin Xiaogong and Qin Mugong, and few people know about Qin Xianggong. However, it was not Qin Mugong, nor Qin Xiaogong, nor Qin Shihuang, but Qin Xianggong who really laid the foundation of Qin.
If Qin Xianggong hadn't seized the opportunity and rejected King Zhou Ping's request, then the Qin tribe would have missed the biggest opportunity in the history of the Qin tribe and could not become a prince, but just a nomadic people in the Longxi River Valley, then there would be no later Qin Mugong, Qin Xiaogong and Qin Shi Huang.
Agreed to the request of King Ping of Zhou, led his troops to fight against the Rong people, recaptured Hojing, and became the founding hero of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was the greatest contribution of Qin Xianggong to the Qin tribe, and this was the greatest opportunity in the history of the Qin tribe.
This matter didn't have much influence at the time, but. Seven hundred years later. It changed the course of Chinese history. The impact on Chinese history is extremely far-reaching.
In the minds of the Qin tribe, Qin Xianggong has a special status, although he has passed away for hundreds of years, the Qin tribe is still doing its best to keep some of the things he has used. Most of these things, because they are so old, no longer exist in the world, and can only be imitated, and this tabernacle is one of them.
"Go in and take a look." Qin Yidao.
For Qin Xianggong, the founder of the Qin tribe. Qin Yiren was really curious.
Not only is Qin Yiren curious, but which one of them is not curious, such as Ying Teng, Li Si, and Han Fei?
As Ying Ben entered the tent, he saw that the tent was empty, only a simple short case, and a knife holder with a bright scimitar on it.
"This ......" Qin Xianggong is the leader of the Qin clan, and his tent is so simple, Qin Yiren is really a little surprised.
Not only Qin Yiren was surprised, but which one of them was not as good as Yingteng, Li Si or Han Fei?
"Isn't Childe surprised?" Ying Ben said with a smile: "At that time, the life of the old Qin people was not very good. Our ancestors were in the Longxi River Valley. It was a war every day, a battle. There was not a moment of peace. At that time, there were too many tribes in the Longxi River Valley, fighting each other, blood flowed like a river, and corpses piled up like a mountain, and our ancestors had to kill them. In order to fight, in order to survive, our ancestors used all their strength on this. As for eating and drinking, it's good to be able to wrap your stomach. ”
Seven hundred years ago, there were many nomads in the Longxi River Valley, fighting each other, there was no moment of peace, if you can't concentrate all your strength, the Qin tribe is likely to be wiped out by other nomads.
"What a fine tradition!" Qin Yiren was very emotional.
During the reign of Qin Xianggong, in order to survive, the Qin tribe concentrated all its manpower, material and financial resources to fight with the surrounding nomads, and now the Qin State has used every money it can earn on the conquest, and it is really an ancient tradition to talk about Qin in Shandong.
It is precisely because of this that the Qin tribe is very good at war, and its prestige spreads far and wide, and the surrounding nomads dare not provoke it.
"This knife is the weapon of Xianggong back then." Ying Ben picked up the scimitar and handed it to Qin Yiren.
Qin Yiren took it in his hand, and couldn't help but sink, this knife was very heavy.
"This one is not very heavy, only sixty pounds." Ying Ben said with a smile.
At that time, sixty catties were equivalent to thirty catties in modern times, and they were twice as heavy as the heavy sword of the Iron Eagle Ruishi.
Qin Xianggong is a warrior with great strength, and the knife he uses is naturally heavier.
This is a scimitar made of bronze, and from Qin Yiren's eyes, it is very rough, so rough that people have nothing to say.
Seven hundred years ago, science and technology were extremely underdeveloped, and it would be nice to have a bronze knife. At that time, many people had to use wooden sticks, bone knives, and stones to kill the enemy.
The edge of the knife has been curled, and there are many gaps, scarred, I don't know how many heads have been cut.
The only thing that is commendable is that it can be used as a mirror.
"This knife is the only thing left by Xianggong, and the rest are decayed. We wipe it all the time, we don't dare to relax, that's it, and we don't know how long it will last. "Win Ben is a bit of a pity.
It's too old, and it's good to have a sword left.
Next, Qin Yiren walked around here to learn about the current situation of the Qin tribe. Now, the Qin tribe living here, their life is very nourishing, compared to the Qin Xianggong era seven hundred years ago, it can be said that it is a heavenly life.
Since the Qin tribe entered Guanzhong, they have become princes and have more living resources. Of course, the Qin State will not forget the clansmen who stayed in the ancestral land, and if they take special care, their lives will be much better.
What is admirable is that although the life of the Qin tribe is better, the people who stay here have not changed much, they are still training hard, and they are still brave and good at fighting.
The clan soldiers are the most elite army of the Qin State, they have the most sophisticated equipment, the most rigorous training, and their combat power is extremely terrifying, if they appear on the battlefield, it will definitely be shocking.
It's just that they are the last force of the Qin State and will not appear on the battlefield. Unless there is something special, otherwise, the Qin State will not use a single soldier.
In the evening of the same day, according to the customs of 700 years ago, the Qin tribe held a grand ceremony, raised the fire, sat around the bonfire, roasted fragrant mutton, drank mare's milk, chatted, danced and sang, so lively.
The next day, Qin Yiren returned to the road. Go straight to Jiuyuan.
Another few days of marching. this day. When I came to Yulin, it was not far from Jiuyuan.
Yulin is not large, covering an area of only ten miles. But it is one of the most important cities in the north, and it is not far from the border. What's more, this is an important place for the Hu people to trade with the Central Plains, and a lot of goods circulate here every day.
Qin Yiren was determined to go to Yulin to have a look and understand the situation on the border, which would be beneficial for the next big war. Qin Yiren wanted to win Teng and lead the Qin army to advance towards Jiuyuan in concealment. He took Li Si, Han Fei, and Meng Zhao and they went straight to Yulin.
When he came to Yulin City, Qin Yiren took a look and saw that Yulin City was high and thick, and it was a strong city, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"A lot of people." Lu Jujian's eyes rolled wildly, and he looked around, with a surprised face.
"yes, there are so many people." Qin Yiren was also surprised.
Looking around, I saw that there were many people coming in and out, including Hu people. There are Chinese people, and so on.
A small frontier city. It's a bit surprising that there are so many people. However, if you think about it, it's normal, after all, this is a major trading place. The Hu people brought their furs here and exchanged them for the necessities of life, such as tea, clay pots, silk, and the like.
The Hu people, who had returned with a full load, had a happy face on their faces, hurried away, and galloped away.
And the Chinese merchants who had gained a lot were also full of joy on their faces, and they rushed to the south with their cars and teams.
At a glance, I saw a long line, and I couldn't see the end at a glance.
When you enter the city, it's even more lively. Everywhere there were people who were bargaining, and the Hu people and the merchants were fighting with each other, and the bargaining sound was like thunder. Sometimes, if you can't get along, you have to do something. However, basically it was impossible to fight, because there were Qin army soldiers patrolling not far away, and these Hu people did not dare to be arrogant.
"If you don't come to Yulin, you don't know the prosperity of Yulin." Li Si was very emotional.
"That's right." Qin Yiren, they were very much in favor of this.
Today's trip to Yulin really opened their eyes.
"Hmm." After walking for a while, Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows, a little curious.
Looking around, I saw a woman dressed up in flowers, her face was flushed with spring, and the spring was rippling, and she was in a group of three or five, trotting away.
"Hee-hee!" Not only did these women run fast, but they also let out laughter from time to time.
"This ......" Li Si and Han Fei also noticed it, and they were puzzled.
Just when Qin Yiren was puzzled, they saw many men running away with smiles on their faces.
Qin Yiren looked at these men, and saw that their smiles were a little weird, very different, so he was even more confused, grabbed a man who was rushing away from his side, and asked, "This brother, what happened?" ”
"You're not from Yulin, are you?" The man glanced at Qin Yiren.
"How do you know I'm not from Yulin?" Qin Yiren was a little surprised.
"Not only do I know that you are not from Yulin, but I also know that you are the first time to come to Yulin, am I right?" The man was quite angry, raised his chin, and was very self-satisfied.
"Who said I was coming to Yulin for the first time? I've been here many times. "Of course Qin Yiren won't tell the truth.
"Hmph." The man was unhappy, raised his head, and said, "If you have been to Yulin, you won't know that today is the day of play, and the stupid big black is going to offer treasures." ”
"Silly big black?" Where did Qin Yiren know who the stupid big black was.
"You don't even know that you're stupid, you definitely haven't been to Yulin." The man grinned disdainfully. After looking at Qin Yiren carefully, his eyes were strange, and he stopped at Qin Yiren's crotch for a while, and said, "You are white and clean, it's better not to know the stupid big black." ”
Your uncle, what are you doing with my crotch if you have nothing to do? Lao Tzu doesn't engage in base.
"Silly big black, that thing is amazing." The man's eyes were both envy and jealousy, and he said, "Your thing is a caterpillar at most." ”
"Shut up." Li Si let out a deep sigh.
This man ridiculed Qin Yiren like this, it was too rude, not only Li Si was a little angry, but even Meng Zhao and they were also unhappy, looking at this man, it was very unkind.
"I said, what happened to you? When you come to Yulin, you have to know that Chang Yu's stupid big black is a big mallet! The man was not only not afraid, but roared.
"Huh? Big JB? Qin Yiren almost bit off his tongue. (To be continued.) )
