Chapter 6: The Oath of the Blood Pact (2)
After a full quarter of an hour, when the sound of the scene fell slightly, Lin Feng walked to the edge of the high platform, raised his left hand high, and pulled out the steel knife on his waist with his right hand and slashed it in the palm of his left hand, and a stream of blood flowed down the crack of the knife, which looked very amazing in the early winter sun.
"Ah, look at General Lin, your hand is rotten!" The astonished soldiers, civilians, and spectators at the front quickly spread the astonishing news to the back, and the scene soon became quiet again!
The eyes of the audience were all fixed on the bleeding palm, although the people behind it couldn't see clearly at all, but everyone seemed to feel that the blood that kept dripping seemed to be dripping in front of them and on their hearts.
"The blood oath is unbreakable! Today, I, Lin Feng, on behalf of Datang and the people of Guiguan, made an oath of blood alliance!
The first oath of the blood alliance: If the oath of three years of rent-free is not fulfilled, Lin Feng owes himself three million yuan to the people of Guiguan from now on, and he will definitely repay it to every household in his lifetime! Lin Feng raised his voice and said.
Three million guan is Lin Feng's approximate estimate of the three-year rent in the Guiguan area, besides, Li Jing has already promised this matter, he is just using the public's gold dust to decorate his face, and he is not as risky as others think.
This sentence has been passed to everyone's ears layer by layer, and many people's first reaction is to disbelief, there are still such officials in the world who regard the public's commitment to the people as a personal commitment? However, there is one thing that everyone believes, with a high-ranking official like Lin Feng, it should not be difficult to come up with three million yuan.
"The second oath of the blood alliance: the Tang Army, the Academy of Sciences, and the business of Chu and Tang are equally open to everyone in the Guiguan area, and Lin Feng is willing to be the introducer!" Lin Feng then shouted loudly.
Datang Academy of Sciences, everyone has also heard of it, it was newly established after the Datang Talent Ceremony, and I heard that the entrants are at least seven-rank officials! Business is good, but it also requires capital, luck and talent, and it is not something that ordinary people can do! However, the income and pension of the Tang army are high, which has been clearly reflected from the money just now. In other words, we can't be officials, we can't be businessmen, at least we can be soldiers!
The ethnic minority brothers who are still extremely simple in this era were instigated by Lin Feng like this, and they immediately became a little ignorant, didn't Lord Lin talk about playing? However, looking at the left hand that was still dripping blood, everyone couldn't help but believe it.
"The third oath of the blood alliance: within three days from tomorrow, Lin Feng is willing to live together with representatives of all ethnic groups in Guizhou City to discuss the win-win Yihan Alliance!" Lin Feng shouted loudly continuously, he already felt a little uncomfortable in his throat, but his voice was still very high.
Lin Feng quietly waited for the sound to pass down layer by layer, feeling that the blood seemed to be no longer dripping, he slowly looked up, and sure enough, he found that the blood in his left hand was about to coagulate. However, Lin Feng still raised his left hand high.
At this moment, Lin Feng's heart was by no means as calm as his appearance. If the autonomy of the villagers of Datang New Village is the first step they have taken on the road of self-government, then the Guiguan area is the second step they have tried, just at the junction of the Southern Tang, Chu and Southern Han dynasties in Guiguan, to see if they can find a new way of co-governance, sharing and sharing. After that, he gradually spread it into his sphere of influence; Even if it doesn't work, at least there is no harm to the Guiguan area!
The Yihan Covenant? Although as early as the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties in the pre-Qin period, ancient China seems to have formed the concept of "the unity of the world" and "the unity of Huayi", but it has always been only a concept on books and on the surface, but in fact, the central view of China of "advanced Chinese civilization, barbaric and backward" and the Huayi pattern of "inner Xia and outer Yidi" have always been indisputable facts. Otherwise, there would not be only one public conclusion of the Yihan Covenant in history:
In the third year of the establishment of the Shu Han Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms (225 AD), Zhuge Liang, a generation of famous ministers, led the army to the south to Qujing, Yunnan, and made a thousand-autumn covenant with Yishuai Meng Shu, and held a famous peace alliance ceremony at the foot of Shibao Mountain and by the Baishi River.
Now, Lin Feng actually proposed to conclude the Yihan Alliance, which was definitely a shocking thing.
As soon as he heard the third oath, the expressions of the generals behind Lin Feng immediately changed drastically:
Liu Renzhen and Ma Jiwei looked incredulous, how could Lin Feng think of doing such idle things? Especially Liu Renzhen, he couldn't help but raise his brows, such a big thing, this stinky boy didn't ask the saint first, would it lead to trouble and burn himself?
Wang Kui frowned at first, but then he relaxed, and after thinking it through, he found that Lin Feng's approach would be beneficial to his future rule of the Guiguan region.
Only Zhou Xingfeng had a thoughtful expression on his face, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Lin Feng's back. The long-standing and difficult problem of governance in the Lingnan region of Hunan and Chu is the dispute between Yi and Han, otherwise the Chu State would not have the Xizhou War of Peng Shichou. However, if Chu is all an independent small kingdom like Xizhou, do you still need officials from the Tang Dynasty of Chu to come?
However, compared to these generals, the following can be completely fried, and the people present, whether they are Yi or Han, are all shocked, and then they all have the same expression: worry.
Everyone knows that Yi and Han are good for the country and the people, but in reality, Yi and Han people, just like water and oil, everyone's traditions, customs, habits, culture, and even appearances, none of them can be blended together! Especially in the Lingnan area, in which year did there not be a few incidents of Yihan fighting? Let's just say that now, Lord Lin, take a look at the audience, it is not a place for one ethnic group to stand in one place, and there is still an obvious or not-so-obvious dividing line between various ethnic groups?
Lin Feng stood on the stage, and the old god was there, waiting for the tide to recede and heat up. After a long time, the discussion in the audience finally quieted down, and Lin Feng raised his voice again and said: "The heroes in the Battle of Guizhou have passed away, but their heroic spirits are still bless us in the sky!" Today, tens of thousands of our Guizhou fathers and elders are gathered together, so let's remember the names of these heroes together! ”
This sentence spread to the audience, and many people immediately froze, more than 6,000 people died in the battle, how long does this solitaire chanting have to be recited! However, with the foreshadowing of what happened just now, not many people showed irritability.
Fortunately, Lin Feng was not a stubborn and rigid person, he read the name that had been carved into the stone wall. Because of the tight schedule, a total of more than 300 names were engraved on it. Lin Feng also appropriately sped up his speed when he read it, and he finished reading it all in less than two quarters of an hour.
In the process of reciting the name, all the soldiers naturally listened patiently, because many of them were their brothers or comrades-in-arms, and if one day they were unfortunately killed in battle, who didn't know that they hoped that they could also keep the hearts of the people! However, the people below are different, at first they listened politely, then they felt helpless and bored, and then later, the vast majority of people really calmed down, listening to the names echoing in the air, and many people invariably had a thought in their hearts: This Lord Lin is really different from other officials, very different!
After the end, Lin Feng ended the event with a sentence: "The mountains and rivers in the Guiguan area are more beautiful, let us work together and work together to make this home more prosperous, happier and more peaceful!" ”
That's the end of it? Seeing Lin Feng and the others in the audience retreat from the high platform and began to command the soldiers to return to the city, many ordinary people who were still thinking that the ceremony was long just now didn't believe that the matter was over, and many people hesitated to take steps to go back, while discussing the ceremony with the people around them, as well as the gratifying or terrifying news.
Until many years later, there were still people debating, quarreling and even fighting around the Yihan Covenant initiated by Lin Feng, but the on-site ceremony of this blood alliance oath was rarely unanimously highly affirmed.
The novel, concise, and concise form, easy-to-understand language, and straightforward atmosphere can be said to be extremely good, and even Lin Feng's political enemies have to recognize such a thing: the reason why Lin Feng was able to gain the selfless support of the Yi people in the political arena and the army in the future is because at this blood alliance oath ceremony, Lin Feng is too good at "demagoguery"!
