Chapter 194: Surname
Surnames have always been an important part of Chinese culture, which is a manifestation of Chinese civilization.
Our surnames all have origins, unlike a small state, there is no culture in naming names, the surname Yamashita who was born from the bottom of the mountain, the surname Hashimoto who was born in the bridge cave, and even the surname Dog, it is estimated that it is similar to that of a son of a bitch.
The Chinese surname has a long history, as early as more than 5,000 years ago, it has been formed, and gradually developed and expanded, continuing from generation to generation.
Surnames have a background and are all exquisite. For example, there are names based on the place of residence, location, and the name of the country. Such as Zhao, Ximen, Zheng, Su, etc. There are ancient surnames, such as Ren, Feng, Zi, etc. There is a clan in the order of the brothers. Such as uncle, zhong, uncle, season, etc. Named in the name of the officer. Such as history, warehouse, library, Situ, Sikou, Taishi, etc. With professional skills. Such as witch, slaughter, you, divination, etc.
The surname is a kind of culture, which has taken root in the hearts of the Chinese people, and the surname is extremely important. In the eyes of the Chinese people, the surname is like a seal that continues the bloodline, and the heirs are endless, and the surname is continuous.
At that time, it was all a patriarchal society, and women were accessories at that time, and the daughter who married out spilled the water. Unlike in modern times, this situation seems to be reversed.
At that time, those who had no heirs were also called extinct. It means that there is no heir to this household, and when it dies, it will be destroyed.
Of course, regardless of whether this statement is correct or not, it just shows the importance of surnames.
It must be a man who perpetuates the surname.
There are two ways to solve this problem, one is to recruit redundancy. is not to marry a girl, but to recruit an aunt, and the child born must follow the surname of the woman's family.
Liang Yongdong wanted to recruit Li Guo as his son-in-law. This seems unlikely, let alone Li Guo, Li Guo's subordinates will never disapprove. This is our tiger master, how can it be upside down!
Another method is adoption, if it is the same family and surname, the adoptive boy does not have to change his surname, they are all the same surname. But if it's a different surname, you have to change it. But sometimes this method is not related by blood. So there are a lot of troubles.
Liang Yongdong, who is a member of the eight families, has never had an heir, although he has an only daughter Liang Shiyin, but he can only be regarded as a desperate family. This is the biggest regret in Liang Yongdong's heart.
And at this time. At the wine table, Huang Xiu suddenly said that he asked Li Guo and Liang Shiyin's son to change his surname to Liang Yongdong, and Liang Yongdong was startled.
Because this thing seems to be a little unreliable!
No matter how fierce the woman is in a family, the husband is the key. This has been the rule for thousands of years. Three outlines and five constants! The big things in the family are decided by the man, and the words of the man can be trusted.
Therefore, Liang Yongdong asked Huang Xiu tentatively, "That, Mrs. Huang, ah no, Mrs. Li, didn't you just laugh!" This is not something to be said casually. ”
Huang Xiu understood what Liang Yongdong said, and said with a smile, "How come?" My family Tiger Master and I have always felt deeply guilty about you and Shiyin. And I've always known that you've been haunted by the fact that you don't have an heir, so. My tiger master and I have always had this idea, thinking of letting your grandson change his surname to your surname and inherit the Liang family. Today Shiyin is here, and it is a happy day for you father and daughter to meet. So I said this, I don't know if you want to or not. ”
"Yes! Willing! "How can Liang Yongdong be unwilling, his body understands very well, it has long been impossible to have children, and now listening to Huang Xiu say this, Liang Yongdong agreed repeatedly.
Liang Shiyin also froze in the back compartment, she knew her father Liang Yongdong's regrets. After listening to Huang Xiu's words just now, Liang Shiyin was also a little confused, and she also thought that what Huang Xiu said was not true. Now listening to what Huang Xiu said, he had a nose and eyes, and couldn't help but run out.
"Madame, are you telling the truth?" Liang Shiyin asked, and was deeply blessed, and the number of etiquette was very thoughtful.
"Really." Huang Xiu smiled and helped Liang Shiyin up. "Sister, you are well-read and well-born, and you are from a wealthy background. In fact, at first, I didn't want you to be wronged and make a side room, and I even intended to give you my place, but it didn't follow the rules when I thought about it, and later, I and Hu Ye came up with this idea. ”
It seems that this is true, Liang Yongdong and Liang Shiyin, father and daughter, couldn't help but have tears in their eyes and were excited. Liang Yongdong has always relied on his lips to do business, and he can't say it at the moment.
Liang Shiyin made amends again and again, "My sister is loyal, I can't wait, and I hope to forgive me for the gift." ”
So, the previous suspicion was released, and everyone who drank this meal smiled.
At that moment, Huang Xiu specially wrote a letter to Li Guo, talking about these things in detail, and preparing to send someone to Annan.
Liang Yongdong was not at ease, he pondered for a while, and said to Huang Xiu, "Mrs. Li, you see this, it is better for me to send the letter over in person, I have been taken care of all the time, I want to say thank you to my virtuous son-in-law, and take a look at what I can do to help." ”
"Okay, then I'll arrange someone to protect you." Huang Xiu said.
Nie Xin on the side said, "Madam, why don't I accompany Liang Dong's house, there is no news from Annan these days, I just want to see the situation." ”
So, Nie Xin accompanied Liang Yongdong and the two of them and rushed to Annan with 500 cavalry.
The battle for Annam had not yet begun, because Li Guo had just finished training his soldiers and horses. In addition to Li Guo's own troops, there were also newly recruited soldiers of the Mo Dynasty.
Li Guo didn't want to make wedding dresses for others, and he also had to hold these soldiers of the Mo Dynasty in his own hands. He just thought that as long as it was a team he had trained, it should be his own.
Li Guo only recruited 20,000 Mo Dynasty people, and they were named the Mo Dynasty Detachment by Li Guo. The selected soldiers of the Mo Dynasty are all big ones, all of them are hard-working, uneducated, and very obedient people.
The officers above the rank of chief were all veterans brought by Li Guo, so more than 2,000 veterans were placed in the Annan detachment. Liu Tichun was appointed as the general of the Mo Dynasty detachment, and Li Guo also equipped Liu Tichun with 1,000 elite soldiers to protect Liu Tichun's safety.
This team is only of a real nature, and it is difficult to say whether it is easy to use or not. Therefore, the weapons of the soldiers of the Mo Dynasty detachment are very simple, not to mention knives and guns, bows and arrows. Not to mention firearms, firearms are Li Guo's killer weapon, but they are not casually used by others.
The weapons of the Mo Dynasty detachment were all watery, long red tassel guns. The red tassel gun is easy to make, and it is good to stick a long wooden pole behind the head of the gun.
The main task of the Mo Dynasty detachment is to defend, no matter who comes, the spear swings forward, at least the enemy wants to kill the Mo Chao detachment's spear formation, it is not an easy task. Moreover, under the firepower of Li Guojing's soldiers, these people can also attack, and the rows of spears walking in a neat phalanx can also have some combat effectiveness, and they are also powerful.
However, although training is important, the most important thing is verbal communication.
Li Guo made great efforts to encourage the soldiers of the Mo Dynasty detachment to learn Chinese, and Li Guo told these people that it was possible to become officials only by learning Chinese. Fortunately, Chinese culture has a long history, and the soldiers of the Mo Dynasty detachment know some Chinese. Of course, in order for them to learn Chinese quickly, Li Guo specially sent a general of 500 people to the Mo Dynasty detachment.
These generals were already looking forward to Li Guo's victory, and they also wanted to be officials, so they worked hard.
But this time to send them to the Mo Dynasty detachment, there is a more important task, singing! (To be continued......)
