Chapter 816 Dongzhou Chronicles: Yanhuang Road

The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier, and the expedition team spends the winter in Puzhou according to the predetermined plan. Cai Xin and the others were also busy studying the information of Dongzhou, and then ignored the problem, after all, the strategy of "ten thousand years of relatives" has been shattered, although the literati are thick-faced, but this matter is just an idle one, take it seriously, and then continue to beat oneself in the face, it is not thick-skinned, but the brain is not clear-headed.

Cai Xin and the others silently admitted defeat, Luo Wugui also had a large number of adults, did not ridicule them in front of them, at the invitation of Fan Sihai, studied the city defense problem of expanding the city in winter, and was busy, and the matter of life was left behind.

Fan Sihai is still worried about it, the remnants of this tribe are still hanging outside, and they must be dealt with as soon as possible to deter them, otherwise it will be difficult to have a peaceful winter.

Wang Lin's opposition had been expected, but Fan Sihai didn't expect it, and Fan Liuxi also objected.

"They can still understand human speech, and they are simple......

Fan Liuxi's words made it even more difficult for Fan Sihai to understand, didn't Seventeen die at their hands? Don't you have to take revenge on Seventeen?

Regarding this issue, Fan Liuxi recalled a conversation between himself and the wild wolf, the process was very difficult, and his memories were also processed and organized.

The conversation began when the wolf and his people were asked to take a bath and have hot water, and they were happy to accept it, but when the caretaker asked them to remove their headdresses and wash their hair with soap, they became very resistant, and almost had a bloody confrontation.

The sacrificial king rushed to persuade him, and used some truths such as "the earthly dirt hides poisonous Gu, and the hair is not easy to clean, so it must be cleaned frequently", coupled with the personal witness in the microscope, so that they obediently obeyed.

When Fan Liuxi arrived, he saw the little braid on the head of the white-washed wild wolf, and had a very bad association. Ask him why he has this braid.

"If defeated, it will be convenient for the enemy to cut off the scalp. If you're going to kill me. Remember to kill me, grab this braid and peel off my scalp. ”

The wolf's answer made Fan Liuxi shudder and scalp? Sure enough, it's a barbaric life. But...... Why should you be prepared to be scalped by others? 【1】

The mad wolf looked at him with disdain at the time: "This is the honor of a warrior." When you defeat your enemies, you have the right to take credit from them, and when you fail. You also have to hand over your honor. This is not only to respect the enemy, but also to protect one's honor as a warrior. ”

After understanding that this little braid was different from the origin of the Manchurians, Fan Liuxi felt a little better, he frowned and said, "How can it be so troublesome, just cut off the head." ”

The wolf understood what he meant, and stepped aside. Fearful and angry, he said, "What a barbarism! ”

According to the mad wolf, the people on this land are particular about whole corpses. They all believe that the soul is related to the body, and cutting off the head directly cuts off the soul, which is a trampling and insult to the "law of the earth". 【2】

The mad wolf then complained to Fan Liuxi: "You killed my people last year, but you didn't strip them off, and even my brother, I can't bury him with the etiquette of a warrior. You say it's our relatives, I don't believe it at all! ”

Fan Liuxi was confused, for the mad wolf, killing his brother is nothing, but killing someone without scalping makes him angry?

The wolf continued: "In this land, death is nothing but a return to the spirit of the ancestors, and death in battle is the destination of every warrior, you have defeated my brother and killed him, this is his destiny, but you have not respected him!" ”

Fan Liuxi was silent, not only did he feel that most of his hatred against the wolf had been dissolved, but he also felt that the term "wolf" was very familiar. Putting aside the barbaric act of scalping, from the ancient side, it seems to be close to the way of the warriors in the ancient pre-Qin era, and from the perspective of the present world, how can it not be the spirit of the warriors in the Yinghua "Theory of Vocation"? …,

Fan Liuxi suddenly felt that Dongzhou Shengfan, at least a person like a wild wolf, might really be a "Li person".

The son's attitude changed suddenly, but Fan Sihai was not very happy, he was a utilitarian, and he used to promote the "10,000-year kinship theory" for practical considerations, and now he is strongly advocating killing the captives and deterring the remnants, which is also for realistic considerations. And Fan Liuxi was tough on Shengfan before, but now he is "weak", but he is all emotional.

Fan Liuxi was very stubborn, maybe he was shocked by the way of the warrior contained in the wolf's words, maybe he felt that his personal grudge with the wolf had been offset by the two, in short, he didn't want to kill the wolf like this.

Fan Sihai also realistically compromised: "Okay...... Given some more time, at least we have to make them agree that we are a kind of people and are willing to obey Huaxia Wanghua. ”

It is possible for the same kind of people, the same ancestor, but it is never possible.

The mad wolf didn't appreciate it at all, he only felt that this statement was ridiculous, for him, "ancestors" were the source of the soul of the clan, and this was not something that could be explained.

In this matter, the sacrifice of Wang Lin to lay out the facts and reason, are ineffective, Wang Lin is naturally unaware, for the "Li people", this matter is not a topic that can be discussed with logical empirical evidence. For example, if you tell a Catholic believer that, according to historical research, Jesus was never resurrected, and believers will not pay attention to you at all, but will only think that it is ridiculous that you use mortal means to investigate miracles.

But the wild wolf also had a trace of doubt, and he also wanted to find out what kind of people these self-proclaimed "Chinese" were.

Therefore, he made a request to see the "ancestors" in the Chinese "temple". The "ancestor appearance" of the wolf tribe is the wolf, and they believe that the soul of the ancestor is one with the wolf.

Wang Lin not only agreed, but also took out all the means, what Tianqu, what candlelight, used the best incense, and polished the "Heavenly Position", cleaned the two statues of Mazu Niangniang and Pan Niangniang, hoping to rely on these sensory means to deter the wild wolf.

The mad wolf and the others were indeed in tears in the Heavenly Temple, but he came to the conclusion: "You are no different from white people, you come from a distant world, you hold great power, and you have more powerful gods behind you." ”

The white missionaries have been active in Dongzhou for many years, and some things have been known to the "Li people", and the wild wolf naturally knows some of them. Hearing him say this, Wang Lin felt that his hard work was in vain after all. Although the wolf has already confided that he is willing to form an alliance with the Chinese, which can be regarded as a success to some extent, for Wang Lin, the wolf treats the Chinese as the same as the white people. It's a complete failure.

When the wild wolf curiously opened the large picture book Bible in the Heavenly Temple, things took a turn for the better.

"These ...... Is it the writing of your ancestors? ”

He asked, pointing to the symbols drawn in the picture book Bible. These symbols contain the earliest hieroglyphs. and then to oracle and gold. At this time, archaeology in the country was already a separate discipline, and the oracle bone inscription was already known to the Chinese people. These new discoveries not only further overrode the discursive hegemony of the Confucian classics, but also cater to the growing desire of the Chinese people to re-examine their own history.

"This ...... Is that what your ancestors were? ”

Then the wolf discovers a totem, albeit in a changing image. But it is generally the same: the body of the snake, the legs of the animal, the claws of the eagle, the head of the horse, the tail of the fish, the antlers, the scales, look complicated. Blended together, but extra majestic.

"Dragons?"

The wolf repeated the unfamiliar word, and then found the familiar part in the image of the dragon, how could the head of a dragon with sharp teeth be the head of a horse. Definitely a wolf's head. It's just that the mouth is a little longer......

Thinking of the twin dragon flags that had been fluttering in the camp, the heart of the mad wolf was suddenly suppressed by a vast force, which traveled through thousands of miles of space, ten thousand years, and brought his soul to the spirit of his ancestors. And then...... This dragon fused with the spirit of its ancestors, the wolf head that had been hanging from the clan. …,

These "Chinese" are also worshipping their ancestors. They also erected statues of their most revered people as "prophets", and they believed that they were one with their ancestors and would return to their ancestors after death.

Although there are still too many differences, such as the fact that they actually respect women, such as the way they do things more like white people, their soul is really similar to their own people.

The first thing to look at is to look at the soul, the second is to look at the skin color, and the third is to look at the means, since the first and second have origins......

The mad wolf suddenly felt that he and the Chinese might really be the same ancestor.

"Be cunning, don't be gullible!"

Whether it is Fan Sihai, who has experienced superhuman beings, or the knowledgeable Sang Jujiu, as well as Luo Wugui and others, they all regard the transformation of the wild wolf into speculation. Aren't all the Yidi in Central China like this? When the heart is no longer stuck to the inheritance of the ethnic group, it is occupied by the utilitarian heart of extreme reality, not to mention the same ancestor, so that he can call his father and grandfather convincingly, he has no psychological barriers.

Therefore, except for Fan Liuxi and Wang Lin, everyone else was against accepting the Wild Wolf Clan, including Cai Xin himself. Another important reason why they don't trust the wolves is that they have caught a few wolf people cruising nearby, and they confess that the food is running out and the group is facing an existential crisis. Even Cai Xin was already sober-minded, and felt that it was more in his interest to let this tribe that might threaten Puzhou completely disappear, after all, the Chinese had not yet had a solid foundation in Puzhou, and the Wild Wolf tribe numbered nearly a thousand.

When the snow fell heavier, the wild wolf also realized the danger of his own people, and cried for Wang Lin and Fan Liuxi to help, and both of them could only sigh in mourning.

So Puzhou is also facing a crisis, and the clansmen of the wild wolf gather in the south of Tianmen to shout, not only for their patriarch, but also for their survival. This brave Comanche did not hesitate to fight for that slim chance at the cost of extermination.

Just when Fan Sihai decided to use the power of Luo Wugui to completely eradicate this tribe, thick black smoke rose from the beacon tower in the northern bay.

"Deng Liang, you say...... Is God punishing us? ”

"How?"

"It was we who saw General Luo's fleet on the sentry tower across the sea, it was we who found Shengfan in the southernmost beacon tower, this time, we turned to the north, and it turned out that we were ...... again."

"It's not God punishing us, it's God's duty to let us come to this world, God has set it to let us warn our relatives."

"I'm relieved when you say that, well, it's time for us to do our duty."

On the beacon platform in the north bay, after Fan Yu and Deng Liang chatted, they raised their muskets, and a large number of people in the north were stepping across the snow and rushing towards the beacon platform.

The sound of gunfire from the beacon tower rang out for half an hour, and then fell silent, and Fan Chongen, the governor of Puzhou, closed his eyes in pain, knowing that the two guards had been martyred.

"It's not my people, it's the seaside!" The wild wolf was brought to the public office for interrogation, and he immediately made a judgment.

Fan Liuxi's secret revenge finally came, earlier he killed more than 100 northern people, and the other party estimated that the people of the country went south to seek justice.

"The seaside people are also our enemies, let us go too!"

The mad wolf made a request, and everyone focused on the Fan father and son.

Fan Sihai looked at his son: "If this battle can prove their sincerity." It's not impossible. ”

Fan Liuxi nodded and said, "I'll watch them." ”

A large number of men and horses crossed the strait in boats, leather boots and barefoot on the snow on the opposite shore. Then there were gunshots and shouts of killing. The call sign of the fan language boiled on both sides of the enemy.

As the curtain fell early, the "seaside people" were confronted not only with Chinese muskets and bayonets, but also with Comanche axes, bows and pikes. They were powerless and were quickly annihilated. …,

Look at the string of pigtails hanging from the wolf's waist. There was still a bloody scalp hanging from the bottom of the braid, and the corners of Fan Liuxi's eyes twitched. And when it came to how to deal with the captured "seaside people", the wolf's indifferent Q&A made Fan Liuxi a little difficult to accept.

The wolf asked, "What did you do before to get the whole people to take revenge?" ”

Kill men. **Woman. Fan Liuxi replied truthfully. This group of "seaside people" not only came with three or four hundred men, but also followed by four or five hundred women and children, and naturally became prisoners at this moment.

The wolf then asked, "What will happen to the rest of the people?" ”

Fan Liuxi still answered truthfully, the strong man was killed, and the women and children were left. At this time, his state of mind also changed, even if the people on the seaside were different from the wild wolves. But he no longer treats life as an animal.

But the wolf said, "Women can stay, men." Whether it's small or old, it should be killed. ”

Seeing that Fan Liuxi was surprised, he continued: "This is a battle to exterminate the clan, as long as there is a man alive on the losing side, he can inherit the name of this clan and find ways to take revenge for the rest of his life." Our war is like this, just when we fight for grass and cattle and horses, we will respect the enemy's women and children, the enemy's honor, but the battle of extermination does not care about this. Since they have brought all their people with them, they must have been prepared. When you kill their men, no one will resist, and they already know how it will end. ”

Fan Liuxi said in his heart, of course, you are happy to see your enemy exterminated, so push us to be ruthless.

The mad wolf said lightly: "Actually, our clan is also prepared, if you still don't believe me, my clan has no choice but to attack, and we will definitely fail." Then you will kill all the men of our people, and no one will resist. By the way, I think...... We're friends, and for friends' sake, I want you to take my wife. ”

Fan Liuxi was dumbfounded, and the wild wolf continued: "She also has two younger sisters, you have to accept them too." According to our tradition, they had to serve me in place of my sister when my wife was pregnant. ”

Looking at the indifference with which the mad wolf recounted the matter, Fan Liuxi knew that this was the truth. Throwing away the idea of sisters receiving together, Fan Liuxi suddenly felt a sadness in his heart, substituting the sorrow of the wild wolf and even those "seaside people".

"I heard that you were also driven by the whites from the south, don't you resent us outsiders for taking your land?"

It took a lot of effort for Fan Liuxi to make the mad wolf understand his question, and it took a lot of effort to understand the mad wolf's answer.

The white people, of course, resented them, said the wolf, because they tempted them to abandon the spirits of their ancestors and believe in their gods, and the whites also regarded themselves as civilians, and regarded them as savages, always pointing fingers at some things, but other than that, resentment was no longer directed against outsiders or fellow tribes alone, but only against the enemies who had robbed them of their place of existence. At this point, whether it is an outsider or a member of the same race, it is treated equally.

Then the wolf said, "You ...... It's not an outsider, so it's possible that other people of the same race will hate you more than they hate white people. ”

Fan Liuxi didn't fully understand, only knew that the wild wolf had begun to accept the "10,000-year kinship theory".

And the mad wolf also didn't understand why the Chinese didn't follow his advice and kill all the men in the captivity, not even a single captive.

"We also have our traditions and don't slaughter ...... at will"

Fan Liuxi blushed, but he still said this cheekily, and said in his heart, this is just a plan for your clan, if you want to accept your clan, you have to leave enemies for you and guard against them.

After this exchange, the wolf clan and the Chinese in Puzhou finally had a preliminary identity, Fan Sihai with a sophisticated way of calculation, for the wolf clan to provide food, the wolf clan to provide horses, the two sides mutually beneficial, at the same time allow the wolf and some clansmen to study in Tianmen, for further integration to lay the foundation.

As another force, the seaside people settled in the hastily erected stockade south of Tianmen as slaves, and then served as serfs for the Chinese in Puzhou, embarking on another road of integration.

This is still a road of blood and fire, even Fan Liuxi has a faint sense of guilt in his heart, feeling that he is an unjust sinner who has invaded other clans. can see the wild wolf and others worshipping the heavenly throne in the heavenly temple, and then strongly requested to set up a wild wolf statue in the heavenly temple, but they felt that this was not the new life of the Li people in Dongzhou. As the mad wolf said, the Li people of Dongzhou are already on the road of blood and fire, and they do not distinguish between inside and outside.

Wang Lin's words to Fan Liuxi shocked him even more: "We are re-taking the road of Yanhuang ......"

When Wolf invited him to his tent to share his wife's sisters, Fan Liuxi confirmed that this was not the way forward...... Bring the cute girl
