Chapter 222: Brother-in-law
(Thank you for your support from Q, nwb1234, Xing Ziyun, Ye Hui Feifei, and the truth of the passing of history, thank you!) )——
At about seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was dawning, the morning light was slightly open, and the Oga Mokai had already risen. Since four years ago, after he killed the giant bear and completed the ceremony, he joined the Huwei Department of the Ruben tribe, starting from the lowest guard squad leader, and has always become the head of the Humbian Guard's Guard, the tart horse marmoset. In the past four years in the tart horse department, he has already developed the habit of getting up early. Although his movements were controlled to the smallest and tiptoed, he still disturbed the good dreams of his wife Yilan in the bear skin mattress behind him.
Yilan's sleepy eyes were hazy, her eyes didn't open, and she asked her husband in a lazy voice: "Yi Dashuai is just afraid that he hasn't gotten up at this time, what are you rushing for?" ”
"From today onwards, I will play under Yi Shuai, I have to prepare early." Mo Hui replied a little nonchalantly, walked to the brazier, took off the kettle that was still sitting on the coal, walked to the side, poured it into the basin and mixed it with cold water and began to wash. From today onwards, he will temporarily go to the Wuzhou Army, and he wants to make a good impression. After all, the identity is going to be different, after the Khitan and Wuzhou formed an alliance, he became the deputy leader of the alliance and the father who sat on the Khitan army has officially stated that he asked Yi Feng to send officers to help train the new Khitan army At the same time, the Khitan Ten Department also selected young children from various tribes as reserve officers and sent them to the Wuzhou army to learn to lead the army. Of course, these selected sons are basically the children of the leaders of the large and small tribes in various tribes, and it is true that they went to the Wuzhou army to learn to lead troops to fight. But there is also a layer of implicit meaning that the Khitan and Wuzhou armies have tacitly implied, that is, these children of Khitan nobles will also become protons. These noble sons will return to Huaihuang with the Wuzhou army. Become a proton of the alliance between the Khitan and the Wuzhou Army. Of course, the two sides have long agreed that at the earliest, one year at the earliest, three years at the latest, these Khitan trained noble children will return after completing their studies, and then there will be another group of young Khitan noble children to replace them in Huaihuang for training.
The Privy tribe suffered a great deal of damage in the Tiele invasion this time, but after all, the emaciated camel was larger than the horse, and there were two tribes that suffered more damage than the Ruben tribe. Father Luo also took advantage of his relationship with Yi Feng and Xu Deyan. Soon got very close to the Wuzhou Army, and thus once again sat firmly in the position of the commander of the Khitan Army. This time, there are five regular military battalions of the Khitan Army, and the Ministry of Convenience occupies one battalion. In addition, my father also organized the tart and horse department of the original Gang Department into a cavalry regiment, and showed great courage. Even for the first time, the eldest son Mohui was included in the list of the first batch of young children who went to the Wuzhou Army for training.
Leave the familiar tart horse department and let go of the position of tart marmoset. He went to the Wuzhou army to be trained as a hostage. This was not a decision that the club was happy about. In fact, with his prestige in the tribe, he has already been the number one warrior among the younger generation of the Gang Tribe, and he has led the Tart Horse Department for several years, so he has long been regarded as the leader of the tribe. It's a pity that he didn't have much say in this matter, and his father dismissed him from his position as the commander of the guard department in the tart marmoset. In addition, the current tart horse department is also conducting training. It was about to be changed to a cavalry guard regiment in the manner of the Han army, and he didn't do much to stay. Of course. He didn't want to leave the clan, and he didn't have any idea of preferring the head of the chicken to the tail of the ox, the most important thing was because of Yi Feng, or because of Chen Wan.
When Yi Feng was still called Yuan Hao, he had a good relationship with Yuan Hao and Chen Wan, he regarded Yuan Hao as a young brother and Chen Wan as a younger sister. Because he was arranged by his father to learn Han culture and etiquette with Xu Deyan since he was a child, as he grew older, the young warriors of the Fu Ben Department became more and more interested in Han culture, and even the young women of the same clan who had hair in the tribe couldn't help it. The hairstyle of the Khitan people has always retained the habit of shaving off part of the hair. The most common hairstyle of Khitan men is to cut off the top part of the skull, cut the four parts short, and on both sides of the skull, grow two locks of long hair, hanging down on the side of the ears. Secondly, there is a common hair style, which is to keep a small lock of long hair on each side of the forehead, or braided or droop naturally, and shave or cut the rest. There are also seven or eight hairstyles, but most of them are hairstyles that shave off most of the hair and keep a small part of the hair.
And the women of the Khitan tribe, similar to the Khitan men, also have this hairstyle. Women's hairstyles are not as many as men's, but there are seven or eight kinds, the most important is to shave off the forehead to the edge of the sideburns, and the other uncut long hair is tied together with a rope band on the top of the head, and a small lock of long hair is parted on the left side, braided, coiled around the forehead and then turned back to the top of the head, pressed on the top of the head, tied with the bundle of hair, and the long hair behind the ears and behind the head is draped behind the back. There are also those who keep only a long bunch of hair on the top of their heads, or simply cut it all short, or keep all the hair, but cut it short a little, and pull it all back a little, hanging down on the shoulders and spreading it out
These hairstyles have been a tradition of the Khitan people for hundreds of years, whether it is the Qingniu or the Baima tribe. But from the perspective of the Mohui, it is difficult to accept. Whether it is cutting off the hair from the forehead to the temples, or cutting it all off, or keeping the shawl hair in its entirety, in the eyes of the Mo Society, which was taught Confucianism and Han culture by Xu Deyan, this is a barbaric expression that is inconsistent with etiquette. It is precisely because of this that Mohui, who is a Khitan warrior, did not have hair, but tied his hair like Xu Deyan, and even his clothes changed from the traditional Khitan robe on the left to the Han and Wei style on the right. From this point of view, the Mohui is a little blue and better than the blue, compared to the father Luo Luo, who advocates the Han culture, the Mohui, a disciple of Xu Deyan, is several times better. Originally, Hu Yi, who was close to the Central Plains, had the habit of advocating Han culture, and the closer they were, the more so. Just like the powerful Xianbei at the beginning, he did not fully implement Han culture, and even moved the capital from Pingcheng in the north of Daibei to Luoyang, the heart of the Central Plains, and even later fully implemented Sinicization, changed Han surnames, wore Hanfu, used Chinese characters, and so on. In this era, although the Han family has just experienced a period of division for hundreds of years, in the eyes of these tribes such as the Khitan, it still represents strength and wealth.
But there's something special about Mohui Hahanha. At most, he advocates Han culture and learns Han culture, but he is still a Khitan in his bones. But the Mokai will be different. He has been learning Han culture with Xu Deyan since he was a child, but when he grew up, it was difficult for him to accept women of the same race. Not only that, but he also gradually fell in love with his sister Chen Wan.
Originally, the Mo Club also knew that the master and the master intended to marry Chen Wan to her brother Yuan Hao, and this thought was just buried in the bottom of her heart. But after Yuan Hao's disappearance, there was no news, and gradually his thoughts came alive again. It's just that what he never imagined was that the Fenbian tribe would be invaded by the Tiele people, and he would be severely injured because of it. And at this time, Yuan Hao appeared again, and he appeared as the life-saving benefactor of their Fen clan. Yuan Hao, who reappeared after a few years of disappearance. has become the general of the Great Sui, the governor of Gongwu Prefecture of Changning County, and has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Not only that, but he was also the grandson of the Son of Heaven of the Han Empire in the Central Plains. This sudden upheaval. made the young patriarch, who had several identity advantages in front of Yuan Hao, suddenly look up. It's just that because Yi Feng saved the Khitan, he can't have other ideas. And it was at this time that the teacher Xu Deyan revealed his true identity to his father, he turned out to be the concubine of Chen Guo who was destroyed by the Sui State a few years ago, the teacher who has always been gentle and virtuous, was actually the princess of Chen State, and the aunt he has always loved is actually the daughter of the last emperor of Chen State. It's the niece of Shi Niang.
A grandson of the emperor of the Sui State and a princess of the Chen State. Yuan Hao and Ah Wan do seem to be a natural pair.
Mo Hui's father, Lu Luo, is a smart man, and after hearing the news, he quickly made a decision to let his son Mo Hui completely break off that impossible thought with Ah Wan. He still remembers that when he returned from the banquet after his victory that day, he was called into the tent alone, and said a few words to him with some sighs. The father said: "Son, Yuan Hao is not the child who lived in the grassland in the past, he is now called Yi Feng, maybe he will be called Yang Feng or something in the future, he is the county prince of the Great Sui, the general in charge, and the grandson of the Son of Heaven of the Sui State." And Awan, you also know now, she is also a golden branch and jade leaf, the princess of Chen Guo, even if she is a princess of the dead country, she is also a princess of the Central Plains. The emperor and the princess, they are a natural pair. ”
When Mo Hui heard this, his heart was half cold, and he said to his father, "The prince and princess are indeed a good match. In the final analysis, we are still too weak, and even a Tiele tribe that surrendered to the Turks can beat us to the wolf bèi, and we have to rely on Yi Feng to rescue. Don't say that Yi Feng is a prince and Ah Wan is a princess, even if Yi Feng is just a general in charge of the Sui State, his son also knows that he is not capable of competing with him for women. ”
After listening to his son's words, he sighed and said, "Son, you have also read a lot of Chinese books, when you know a Chinese language, why should a husband have no wife?" Let go of the worry in your heart, although our strength is not as good as Yi Feng, but you are also the Mo Hefu of the Ministry of Convenience, and you are also the young patriarch of a tribe of more than 100,000 people. I thought about it, and found a family affair for you, it is the daughter of Su Zhi, the head of the Ahui tribe of the Xi tribe, the second daughter, it is said that the conditions are not bad, if you agree, this matter will be settled, and you will marry as soon as possible. ”
Su Zhi is the patriarch of the Ahui tribe of the Xi people, and the Ahui department is also the strongest of the five tribes of the Xi people, and because of this, Su Zhi is also the military leader of the Kumo Xi army. If the son Mohui can marry the daughter of Su Zhi, then even if the Khitan and Xi Ahui are married, they will also have a solid and reliable ally within the alliance. What's more, there is one more thing he didn't tell his son, he has news that Su Zhi's eldest daughter Manyue, who has just lost her fiancé, is actually better in all aspects, but Su Zhi seems to have intended to marry this daughter to Yi Feng. Although Yi Feng already has a few women, this is not a problem. Duluo is actually very much in favor of Su Zhi's approach, but it is a pity that he does not have such a suitable daughter. However, if the son marries Su Zhi's second daughter, and Su Zhi's eldest daughter marries Yi Feng, the son will not only not fight with Yi Feng to offend Yi Feng, but will also become a brother-in-law with Yi Feng, which is a great thing.
He didn't tell his son about these things, and the son didn't need to know about them, in short, he, the father, was all for the good of his son, and by the way, it was also for the sake of the clan.
After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Mo Hui trimmed his beard again, thinking about what to wear today. It's November weather right now, and it's snowy and cold outside. Although it was warmer to wear a fur coat, after thinking about it, he still opened the box that Yi Feng gave him, and inside was a complete set of military uniforms and armor. Brand new clothes and armor, regimental and battalion-level military uniforms and armor of the Wuzhou Army. Inside out, a complete set. A fine linen undergarment, a silk robe on the outside, a jacket and a fur coat and a large coat, a set of steel plate armor carefully polished by hand, and a command knife.
Put on a brand-new military uniform, and then put on the navy blue half-body armor, with a sword, holding a helmet in his left hand, Mo Hui looked down at himself in the basin, he was already young and strong, after wearing this set of Han-style armor uniforms, he became more and more majestic, and looked energetic.
Looking at that shadow, Mo Hui's heart was very complicated.
Just from this set of military uniforms and armor, you can see the strength of the Wuzhou Army. Such a set of armor is placed in the entire Priven tribe, and it is also a treasure like a treasure, but this is only a batch of armor in the Wuzhou army. Although it is marked as a distribution for regimental and battalion-level officers, in fact, as far as he knows, in the Wuzhou army, because of the high salary rewards, the officers are very rich, and many officers are specially ordered. In fact, many commander-level officers, and even team-level officers, can upgrade their team-level officers' standard armor to this type of armor as long as they spend some money, and even battalion and regiment-level officers, there are few who really wear this kind of road goods, and their armor is stronger, lighter and better-looking.
Think about the Tart Horse Department that he led at the beginning, although these guard knights are the most elite guards of the Bow Department, most of these knights don't even have a set of iron armor. Look at the Wuzhou Army again, after defeating the Tiele people twice, the thousands of sets of iron armor and leather armor that were captured were not even looked at by people, and they were directly treated as garbage with broken copper and iron, and finally all of them were given to Xi Qi Danfei three at a low price.
It was after seeing Yi Feng's strong strength that Mohui finally broke off his thoughts about Awan, and he followed his father to visit the Su branch patriarch of the Xi Ahui tribe once, and then happened to meet Su Zhi's second daughter Yilan. After the two sides met, they both felt pretty good about each other. Yi Lan is not much shorter than him, and his appearance is also very good, what satisfies him the most is that Su Zhi is also a feudal man who admires the culture of the Central Plains, he himself can speak Chinese, and several daughters have also been taught by Han teachers, so they can speak Chinese, and even in terms of dress, they are comparable to Han people. Based on this, the Mohui is very satisfied. He thought, marrying such a woman, although it is not a real daughter of the Han family like Awan, is not bad, so he happily asked his father to propose to the Su family, and then the two families struck while the iron was hot, while Yi Feng and several families were there, and the marriage was ready in a few days, and then the wedding was held directly, and the wedding banquet was held, and the marriage was married by the Raole River.
Looking at the sky, it was already bright, and at this time, I could vaguely hear the wake-up call from the Wuzhou military camp in the distance. Mo Hui said hello to his wife Yilan, asked her to continue sleeping, and then put down the tent, walked to the stable, took out his war horse, turned over and rode to the Wuzhou military camp.
